This is my world and my idea, so I'm making the rules; vampires cannot be born in this world I've created, the vampire girl (I'm gonna call her Angela Christensen) was not born, nor turned into one. her parents created her through alchemy and sorcery.

Of course you can make your own rules in your own world. You have full control.
I read up on wikipedia about werewolves and pretty much what it said was that the silver part was pretty modern created through literature.
"Most modern references agree that a werewolf can be killed if shot by a silver bullet, although this is more a reflection of fiction's influence than an authentic feature of the folk legends. A werewolf can be killed by complete destruction of heart or brain; silver isn't necessary."
Ah well. If anyone wants to read up more:

I might have missed where the silver part came from if it was in the original folk legends.
