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: 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.
