Ideas for stories

Ideas/outline for stories for short fantasy stories for primary/early secondary school students:
1. 
-Girl is brought up in an olden day village brought up with the fear of vampires (known back then as blood eaters). She has to cover her face with mud when it is dark to not smell "tasty" and to take the small away from her blood and take other precautions. 
-One day after school her father doesn't pick her up like he always does and all the teachers have left. She knows she can't wait all alone and must get home before it gets dark. So she decides to make her own way home. 
-Making her way home by herself she decides to go another way back home covered in trees as it starts to rain. Scared of it getting dark she begins to run through the forest, yet this complicates her further and she gets lost. 
- It starts to get dark. Shaking from fear and the wet cold she curls up into a ball and rubs mud over her body hoping it will take away her smell of blood. 
- A little pale boy walks close towards her and she watches intrigued by his dark hollow eyes. He looked like he was starving. She questions if these are the creatures her whole village fears as she only felt sorry for him. She slips in the mud with curiosity igniting and he comes closer. Yet, he couldn't possibly see her with the mud all over her it looked as though he was staring directly into her eyes with the same curiosity. The rain starts again and the mud quickly slides off her face still entranced by him. He looks at her truly now and tells her to hide herself in the mud again withe fear in his eyes. Fear of himself and of others close by. He then tells her to get on his back as he wishes to take her home and he flies off into the dark. When she arrives home he quickly disappears. His seemingly parents call out after him and he quickly turns and flies off into the night sky.  
- When she gets home she finds her father has broken his leg in the mines at work and has to stay in bed. Scared of her getting lost he insists on home schooling her for the next few days.
- Yet, she can't concentrate and keeps thinking of the boy she saw in the forest. 
- When she gets older she forgets the boy, until one day she went riding and hit a tree and fell unconscience. He found her and wrapped her in blankets to stop her from getting ammonia from the cold night air at an abandoned stable. When she awoke he gave her some water and told her he would ride them both home as soon as possible. Still in blankets she got on the horse. The horse wouldn't let the boy on the horse as it feared him. He says to the horse I'm not like the others and tells him to calm down. The horse quickly calms down. The girl in shock lets him ride her home. When they arrive she asks why he always protects her, yet can never stay. He says it's for her own safety. Yet, promises one day it will all be much safer in the village. 

2. 
- Two orphans are locked up in a room of their aunties house who is ashamed of them being apart of her apparent wealthy family. 
- They accidently fall into a cupboard in the room and travel into a land where they are smaller and decide to get food from this land as their auntie isn't feeding them.
- They go and find a wizards book and realise their mum and dad were wizards/witches and maybe are lost in another land. They decide to rescue their mum and dad. 

3.
