Chapter 16

He had his little girl in his arms while the last breath trailed from her body. He felt her go limp. Her weight suddenly became twice as heavy as before. He felt a wisp of cool air blow past his cheek, now extra sensitive from the wetness of his tears. A million different memories flashed through his mind. How fast Ginny had grown into a beautiful woman. What would happen to her, now? He thought. Would she become something akin to her mother or something worse? Could he risk keeping her? Of course, he knew the answers to many of the questions that flooded his mind. The trouble was his heart overruling his mind. He had to believe that she would become what her mother was and not one of the others that Madeline had told him about.

Madeline had told him that some of the vampires were mindless, crazed animals, while some, like her, had retained portions of their humanity. She had even heard whispers of very old and powerful vampires that had orchestrated the coup that was taking place. He thought the vampire hierarchy very much resembled that of an ant or bee hive. Mindless drones did most of the grunt work. Soldiers were the next level up in the chain, with the queen, or prime as he liked to call it, running the show.

So, the question remained; would Ginny become a drone or a soldier? There had to be a link, but he wasn’t sure what it was. He was convinced that there was a deciding factor. Babies were born male or female, seemingly at random, until closer investigation told scientists that the sex was chosen by the administration of an x or y chromosome. There had to be a similar explanation to why a soldier or a drone was created, but he hadn’t had enough time to study Madeline to find out what it was.

He felt so lost, so hopeless. He had no way of getting in contact with Julia. And what will happen to Maddie? She would return from her hunt to find the home they had built razed to the ground by an explosion. Would she know they were still alive? Would she be able to find them? Would she find shelter before sunrise? The last thought made him shudder as he remembered the damage only a few seconds of exposure to sunlight had done to her. Her screams were still fresh in his ears.

He wanted to remain faithful to the God he believed in, but this was too much. He had lost his wife and youngest daughter in the last week. Then they had been returned to him, and now he had lost them all again! Ginny was all he had left and he wasn’t about to give up on her. If the people that had helped them had any intention of hurting her, they would need to kill him to do it.

A hand gently touched his shoulder and a soft woman’s voice came from somewhere behind him.
