...what do you do with them?
The villain in my vampire novel, Conall, has a very strict rule in his city: vampires are not allowed under any circumstances to turn or kill children or pregnant women. Unfortunately, a minor character has a past history of doing just that, and the villain catches him with a seven-year-old girl he has recently turned -- his third offence, meaning no chance of mercy. The villain punishes the culprit justly (in his own twisted way, anyway), but there's still the problem of what to do with the girl. Turning her loose in the wild would spell trouble for humans and vampires alike, and Conall doesn't want to have to deal with her in his city. Given that the "don't harm children" rule is still in effect, and a vampire child is still a child, what can I (and therefore Conall) do with this?
