"So we try this healing on him in order to start his heart so that we can be rid of him?" Penelope asked.
She turned to get another look at the vampire who was not tiring beating against the cage. He was trying to find a weakness in the way they had constructed it that he could exploit in order to break free. She imagined him never tiring, never giving up—an eternal fixture of this island. If more came after him, they just might end up with an entire containment facility of vampires in place of the alyko who had been here.
They had to figure out what else to do with this intruder. It was not enough to keep him caged like this. Even if she used a memory enchantment on him and he was forgotten amongst the rest of his kind, they would still have the problem of what to do with him after that. A creature who cannot die… it was a major issue. And it was an issue she did not want.
"Do you think that will actually work?" Penelope turned back to August.
