Blade's POV

"Whistler," I call out. "What've you got?"

"Well," he replies. "Based on what we got from the familiar, something is definitely different about this kid. From what I'm gathering, she's not vampire and not human all at the same time. Course, she's not quite like you neither."

"How's that possible? We've never seen anything like this before?"

"Couldn't tell you. I don't have enough to go on here. We'd have to make another visit to that familiar."

"That's not even mentioning that we're not sure exactly who she is, but..."

"But what, kid?"

"We've seen her with a few of Frost's familiars. Do you think Frost tried to turn her?"

"It's possible, but there's another option that, slightly hard to believe considering his outlook on humans, maybe she's the child of him and a human mother."

"Frost and a human?"

"You said she was in the passenger's seat of a car with him driving during the day. Why would he risk going out during the day if she wasn't?"

"Point made. So what's the plan?"

"For the kid, leave that alone. We keep hunting vampires until we get to Frost."

"Why not use the kid as bait?"

"You'd start a war. Vampires can be very protective of their young. If you think we're struggling to keep up with attacks now, you'd make this darn place a war zone. It would be out of control."

"She's the only lead we have."

"Don't do it, kid. Don't even think about it."

At this point, I've tuned him out. We need to take Frost out. That means I'll do whatever I see as necessary. I think this girl could be the way to do it.

Frost's POV

"Dad," I hear Camila say as I begin to focus again. "Dad."

"What is it, Little Love?"

"You're worrying about the daywalker again."

"Don't worry about it. Nothing's gonna happen to you."

"You're the one that looks like his anxiety has anxiety."

"It's fine, Camila."

"I can protect myself."

"Baby, I know you can from most people, but the daywalker... Sweetheart, you're... you're 13."

She's 13...
