Dormant

Eighteen years, nine months and two days ago, Paige was bitten by a vampire. Nine months later she gave birth to a healthy, normal, beautiful baby girl and named her Abigail. Paige left her at the hospital that same night after giving birth. The doctors were baffled; the mother appeared very loving with the child for the few short hours before she vanished without a word. The child was later adopted by a kind and caring family and was raised well. One thing that the doctors, Paige, and Abigail’s family didn’t know; Abigail was a carrier for a recessive gene of vampirism; something that never before has happened, and it would only take fresh exposure to bring to life those dormant cells and create something that the underground vampire world had never seen before. Paige, having kept a distance from the child, finds out about this potential catastrophe and is faced with the decision of protecting her daughter so that she can live her life out in peace and oblivion while protecting both the human and vampire race. Primarily a monster, but also a mother, Paige is conflicted with where her loyalties lay.
