Plot summary

First Season

The series centers around 15-year-old Ella Rosen who begins high school along with her best friend, Omer Teneh. The school is managed by the stone-hearted Amnon Green, who is secretly the head of The Order of Blood, an order founded 1,000 years ago to cleanse the world of vampires.

During the series there are three major plot lines which are all connected:
* First line of action – Tells the story of Ella Rosen (who is involved with all three lines), a confused, introverted teenage girl who is sure that no one who understands her. Ella is a Split – half-vampire and half-human – and has a major part in a conflict between the two races. A 600-year-old vampire (but with the appearance of a high school student) named Leo is sent after her in intention to help her find out who and what she is and what she is destined to do. A love triangle is created between Ella, Leo and Omer, who is secretly in love with her.
* Second line of action - Reveals the story of Zohar, Sushi (Moshe) and Guy (Ella's Brother), who represent the school's fencing team. Guy fancies Zohar, daughter of the principal. Eventually she responds to his advances and they become a couple. Together, they try to help Sushi overcome his stage fright, which leads to a love triangle between the three. When Zohar's father loses his memory, she has to take her father's place as the head of The Order of Blood. Sushi stands by her when Guy is bitten and becomes a vampire which conflicts his relationship with Zohar.
* Third line of action - Reveals the story of the vampires. The Vampires' Prophet (also known as The Blood Chosen, who provides blood replacement and has the authority to make the decision in arguments) is a Split named Ardak, who realizes that his life is about to end and that he has to choose a successor. Phaton, his brother, is about to be crowned, but the coronation is interrupted because of Ardak's vision, which reveals another Split, their younger sister, who was believed to be dead. Ardak sends his guardian, Leo, to find her and tell her about her being a Split. Phaton is angered for not being crowned and he undermines Ardak by a secret mutiny and does severe actions such as incitement against the Prophet, releases prisoners for his own benefit and murdering The Vampire Council members (a council of vampires with the authority to judge and define laws, which has to obey the Blood Chosen's rules).

Nicky (Nurit), is a character who is involved with all three plot lines. In the first one, Nicky befriends Ella, and is willing to listen to Ella's troubles and fears, which helps Ella deal with what she finds out about herself. In the second plot line, Nicky is the one who proves to Zohar that a war against the vampires is not the solution, and that it will not stop the vampires' attacks (a result of a shortage of the blood replacement, following Ardak's death). Plus, Sushi and Nicky become a couple at the end of the season. In the third plot line, Carmel (Leo's past lover) is released by Phaton and possesses Nicky's body, in order to distract Leo from guarding Ella (to overcome Ella, and win the title of the Prophet). Carmel also bites Guy and turns him into a vampire. Later on Leo gets back on the right track and releases Nicky by vanquishing Carmel.

At the end of the season, the vampires are exposed in front of the school's students and staff, and Ella, who is opened up and bolder changes during the season, is presented as the new prophet, in front of the vampires and humans both, during a concert in the school. Amnon thinks he won and wants to kill Ella and eliminate the blood replacement, but backs down after Ella shows him (in a vision) that he should stop the war. According to the vision, Zohar will die if he does not do so.
Meanwhile, in The Order of Blood, Zohar (who had already understood that war is not the answer), Guy, Sushi and Nicky seek and find video cassettes which document vampires in order to reveal them to the world and expose the vampires. However, as they try to leave the place, they are interrupted by Tamar, a high-level vampire exterminator, a member of The Order of Blood. Tamar stops them and tries to kill Guy, who is now known as a vampire. According to Ella's vision, which was shown to Amnon, Zohar is shot by Tamar after defending Guy with her body, sacrificing herself. But since Amnon had backed down, another thing happens: Zohar shows Tamar her personal file, which reveals that Tamar's parents got into an exchange of fire between The Order of Blood and vampires, and due to that were killed by the order's fire. Tamar herself survived thanks to a vampire who saved her. Tamar, who always thought that vampires killed her parents, stops the war. The video cassettes are released, and the world is exposed to vampires. At the end of the season, Ella has to choose between Omer and Leo, both in love with her. Ella chooses Omer.

The last scene seems as madness, insanity: Dima, a fencing teacher at the school and also the Guardian of the blood replacement fountain, is shown in the fountain's cave, surrounded with doubles of him in different outfits doing different actions. Dima says "Finally, the end of the blood period has come to an end. Now it's our turn". He repeats the last sentence several times, as he starts to dance around the cave. The rest of the doubles disappear, and the real Dima turns directly to the audience and roars like a lion. This indicates a dramatic change that is probably going to apply in next season.

Second Season

The season begins in an event that occurred 1,000 years prior season 2 in the Woods of Green. Ardak, is fighting against Lilth the queen of the demons. Lilth is stabbed in her heart by Ardak's Sword and is killed, so all of Lilth's demons vanish. Ardak is letting Lilth's Servant to run away and the Servant revealed to be Dima.

1,000 years later, a new School year is starting in green high, Ella decides not to move to Ardak's Tabernacle, and wants live her life like a normal teenager, the situation causes clashes between her and Leo. Meanwhile, Dima discovered the body of Lilth in the fountain's cave and discovers the cave is full with demons eggs. during an earthquake one of the eggs hatches and the demon who was inside of it flees away. the target of the demons is to draw vampires' souls create a stone out of it and bring it to their queen so she could create new demons. soon after the demon flees from the cave he arrives to Green high, there he draws a vampire's soul which enrolled as a student at the school (demons automatically draws vampires' souls when a vampire is near them) and takes over his identity. from now on the name of the demon is Adam. Adam is not aware of the fact that he is a demon and he doesn't know how to control his powers. Adam first meets Ella when he tries to attack her and he discovered he can not do so when she's around. Ella gets a premonition in which she brings Adam back to life, which later revealed to be an initiative by Dima, who realizes he could bring Lilith back to life with the help of Ella. Dima's soul is poisoned and Adam which draw it by Dima's demand, dies. Dima is calling Ella to the Cave and she brings Adam back to life. Ella feels there is something different in Adam and takes him under her wing, while trying to figure out what creature he actually is. Dima demands that Adam ingratiate himself with Ella, so when the time comes he'll ask her to use her powers to revive Lilth- if this won't be done, Adam will die.

Leo is heartbroken, because Ella chose to be with Omer instead of being with him, and is slowly dying. He is fired from his job as the prophet's guardian and is trying to make Ella realize he is her true love, not Omer. In the meantime Adam continues to draws vampires' soul and is creating stones out of them in a slow and painful process. Jamon who was a senior in the Vampires' council is now Ella's advisor and the manager of the new nightclub in town (a main location in the season) which is open exclusively to vampires, which prefer to stay away from humans. The humans and the vampires now have secret agreements. According to the agreement the humans will provide blood to the vampires and in exchange the vampires will provide their knowledge to humans.

The human who signs on the agreements with the vampires is Amnon Green. Amnon asks Tamar (who was his assistant in the order of blood) to spy for him after Andrea Foox, and old friend of his and a hater of vampires, who own the box of blood, an ancient box which contains the powers of an ancient vampire, and can be opened only with the blood of 10 vampires and one Split. Tamar proves Andre she is loyal to him by "shooting" Amnon, but in fact she warned him before that and Amnon is pretending to be in coma in the hospital.

Ella and Omer break up during the season and Ella start dating with Leo. Adam Tells Ella he is a demon and she promise him she will protect him. When the vampires discover Adam's true nature they are trying to kill him but Ella saves him. Therefore, Leo opens the box of Blood and is trying to kill Adam with the powers he got. Ella brings Lilith back to life so she could help her to save Adam. Lilth kills Leo after she kissed him and is starting to produce a new species: new creatures which are half vampire, half demon. Although he is being loyal to Lilth, Dima brings Leo back to life. In the School's gym Ella fights against Lilth and is about to lose but then Adam draws Lilth's soul, killing her for good, and dies. the new offspring of Lilth hatched and the humans are shooting on them using archery, destroying all of them.

Michael, Ella's foster father, manages to create a new blood replacement for the vampires, and Leo agrees that Ella does not have to move to the tabernacle.

Just when everything seems perfect, the last scene of the season shows us one last offspring survived and is standing in the woods of Green, revealing her fangs and demon's nails to the viewers.

Vampires

There are two types of vampires: those who are born vampires and humans who were bitten by vampires. Vampires are described as handsome, very intelligent and talented. According to Amnon, being a vampire is against the laws of nature, although this has yet to be confirmed. Vampires have many strengths, but also weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Also, vampires must drink human blood or Doll-Bar to sustain their health; if they abstain from either for too long, they will die.

Powers
* Memory erasure – Vampires can erase several minutes of a person's memory. Multiple erasures can cause someone to lose their memory entirely. However, it is possible to regain memories that have been erased (e.g., Amnon Grin).
* Telepathy – Vampires can hear the minds of humans and vampires. However, wearing a hat makes a person immune to a vampire's telepathy. Vampires can also sense other vampires.
* Super Speed – Vampires can move at much higher velocities than any human, to the point of becoming nothing but a blur, if even, to human eyesight.
* Super Agility – Vampires can jump incredible heights and distances. They are flexible and possess very sharp reflexes.
* Super Strength – Vampires possess vastly superhuman strength and can easily overpower any human.
* Super Durability – Vampires can endure and survive much more damage and physical trauma than humans, however enough damage will kill them.
* Healing Factor – Vampires can quickly heal any non-fatal injury. It is unknown whether they can regrow lost organs, however it was implied they can.
* Immortality – Vampires can potentially live indefinitely. Born vampires don't age beyond their physical prime, while turned vampires don't age at all.

Weaknesses
* Silver Daggers – A silver dagger to the heart causes instantaneous death to vampires.
* Garlic – Suffocates vampires. Bullets containing garlic are supposedly fatal for vampires (unconfirmed).
* Rice – Throwing rice at a vampire puts them into a trance in which they are forced stop and count each grain. However, they can be released from said trance if someone speaks to them and tells them to stop.
* Enchanted Mirrors – Special, enchanted mirrors from the destroyed ancient vampire temple are dangerous for vampires; if presented against a vampire, such mirror will suck in the vampire's soul, imprisoning it within the mirror and incapacitating the vampire. As long as the mirror is intact, the soul can be restored to the vampire, reviving them. Breaking the mirror causes the vampire's soul to "break", permanently incapacitating (however not outright killing) the vampire. The Prophet however can restore the soul of a vampire incapacitated such, as long as the body is intact.
* Heartbreak – If vampires have their heart broken due to lost love, they fade and eventually will die.
* Water – Water weakens vampires, but does not hurt them.
* Spells – Special spells are designed to protect humans from vampires.
* Blood Lilies – Not so much a weakness as it is a warning to humans. If a vampire is near a Blood Lily, the lily dies (the stem visibly curls), thus revealing vampire to humans (supposedly extinct, the Blood Lily is an endangered flower).
* Demons – Demons are the natural enemies of vampires; they can absorb vampire souls, which they then regurgitate as gemstones. Their queen, Lilith, can use these gemstones to create new demons.

Concepts

* Split – A being born from a human and a vampire. The Split have powers as well. One Split is the product of the connection between vampires and humans.
* Vampire – A non-human creature with special powers and weaknesses.
* Demon – A non-human with special powers and weaknesses. Hates vampires and absorbs their souls through special, long claws.
* The Vampire Council – a group of vampires responsible for maintaining the world of vampires and decide on penalties for vampires who have defied them. They enforce the Laws of Blood. The Council is shown meeting in a museum.
* Prophet – Also known as Blood Chosen. The prophet must be a Split, and there can only be one at a time. They have the ability to communicate with humans and vampires at the same time. The prophet also has the ability to profess the ability to split. The Prophet is the spiritual leader of all vampires.
* The Order of Blood – A group of human beings whose sole aim is the destruction of all vampires in the world. The leader of the Order of the Blood is the principal of the School Grin, Amnon Grin. Orders must come from the Grin leader. The Order was founded 1,000 years ago, when a vampire mercilessly attacked the Grin Dynasty, and the Head swore revenge on the vampires.
* Doll-Bar – A substitute for blood, like human blood. Aradak's and Phaton's father, Tevel, found the source of the blood substitute. Doll-Bar can even slow the aging of humans, enlogating their life. The effect of the Doll-Bar on Splits is that it augments their red blood cells, but some of the augmented red blood cells are occasionally destroyed in a few minutes. Thus, sometimes, consumption of Doll-Bar can cause long-term damage to Splits.
* Tabernacle – The seat of the Prophet, a human person can not enter the tabernacle, in which case the Tabernacle causes an earthquake and destroyed.
* Laws of Blood – Are the laws that vampires have to obey. For example, the rule states that if a vampire bites a human, this will result in punishment and imprisonment (usually imprisonment for hundreds of years), even in the killing was in self-defense. After the death of Aradak Chosen Blood, the Council, which among other things, is the legislative authority of the vampire, adjourned. After the dispersal, the laws were enforced no more. It was determined that a vampire can afford to bite because it is a necessity.
* Blood Box – A box with the image of power and the world's most powerful vampire. In order to open the Blood Box, the blood of 10 vampires and 1 Split is required.
