I think option 2 holds a lot of potential. You can model it after earth's history and introduce tons of ethical problems (something good scifi always tries to do), would also be a reverse of the usual alien invasion story, now humans will be the invaders and you can get the aliens to do what we've always thought we'd do to aliens who come and visit us: nuke them or study them. It'll be really interesting and people would have to consider if one of the requirement for being an intelligent lifeform is to be cruel and dangerous because we'll see ourselves in these aliens.

Yea ... it's really late and I haven't slept for a while. But still, option 2 so much better than option 1. Not sure if there's even much room for originality in vampire stories.
