It would be great if the hero came upon her again, once he understands better what her existence means and why it's a crime. If that sounds good then it might work best to approach it from the question of where in the hero's travels and travails would she make sense. An elite kiddy assassin squad? Frozen in a lake (a lake of lost souls, if you will)? Locked in a closet? Taken in by other semi-feral vampire children who run as a pack?
That just gave me an idea. ^^
The hero meets the vampire child around the middle of the book, and escapes the city not long after that, while committing a crime of his own (rescuing his father, a captive, after being commanded to eat him). Conall sends some lackeys after the hero and the father, resulting in a fight scene just when they thought they were safe. I could easily have the vampire child be among the lackeys, whether as an excuse to get her out of Conall's hair for a while, or because he thinks she'll actually be of use (or maybe he's just hoping she'll get killed and he won't have to worry about her anymore). That would put the hero in a predicament of whether or not to harm or kill a child, even to protect himself and his father. (I could even increase the hero's qualms by giving the little girl an unfortunate resemblance to his little sister who died years ago, of disease rather than vampire attack.)
