Prologue
There's gonna be a few changes in this story. One of the reviews said that the name Caecum means an intestine so I decidwed to change the name to Hale. But if you guys dont like the name, you can decide. Just say the name you want in the comments and I'll choose the best one. But for now, I'll use the name Hale.
Lights flickering. Screaming. The only things that the hallways of Antigen had that night. And as you come closer, it goes much faster and louder.
It's doing this because of what's happening in the infirmary.
Inside, people all dressed in white was around Subject 1, a beautiful vampire who's now in labor.
A few months ago during the time of The Purge, soldiers found and captured her while they also captured the only vampire-lycan hybrid in the world: Michael Corvin, descendant of Alexander Corvinus, now labeled Subject 0. But when they were both brought to Antigen, the director, Jacob Lane, did several tests on them both and was shocked to realize that Subject 1 is pregnant. Especially with a Corvinus. That was why he couldn't kill her. She had another descendant in her womb and it must survive.
For eight months at that time, Subject 0 was locked in cryogenic suspension while Subject 1 was strapped into many machines. In one machine, it gives Subject 1 knock out gas so she wouldn't wake up and run off with her unborn child. In another, it made sure she was breathing at a normal pace. And in another, it gives blood to her as food for the child and the subject. Then the ninth month came. The woman's abdomen was plumb and strong. It was a blessing that she's not awake to see her birth of her child. Only her screaming let them know that she's still feeling the same symptoms in childbirth. And the machines made the lights flicker.
"Give her sedation!" Lane shouted. "The child must be born alive!" The doctors did what they were told and put in medicine in the subject's arm. That made things worse.
Her screaming became louder and louder and suddenly, her eyes opened wide and they were in the shade of the brightest of icy blue. Her fangs showed as she screamed and people around here were now terrified that she might attack. Luckily, she was strapped down with chained belts around the time her water broke.
"Put it back to sleep!" Lane shouted over the screaming to a young human doctor named Lida. She nodded quick and grabbed a gas mask and tried to strap it on the subject's face. Subject 1 resisted and punched Lida unconscious.
"Oh, God," Lane said and with that, he grabbed the mask and grabbed a hold of the subject's arm. She tried to resist, but Lane used his lycan strength to hold her down and put the mask on her. She kept screaming, but the gas got into her and it made her drowsy and pass out.
Suddenly, there was a small crying coming from the other side and Lane and the doctors turned to see a nurse carrying a small bundle in a blanket.
"It's a girl," she said with a smile. She then passed it to Lane calmly and Lane couldn't help but smile. Seeing this child was like carrying his own son when his wife gave birth to him. Only this child was special.
As the little girl opened her eyes for the first time, Lane looked at the beautiful color. It was all dark with a dark icy blue ring around it. She has her mother's blue eyes with her father's black eyes as a background. She was beautiful.
"You'll be able to know what changes you'll make soon," Lane whispered to her, still smiling. But after a while of whispering this, he painted his face back solemn and looked back at the subject, being able to take off the mask off her.
"Get this one in a cryogenic chamber quick. She will be important to us now."
In a quick surprise, Subject 1 opened her eyes again and began screaming once more. Lane backed away with confusion.
"What's happening?!" A doctor shouted and looked at the computer screens. It was filled with glitch's and the heart's beating on the screen was going very fast.
Lane quickly gave the child back to the nurse and ran back to the computers to help the other doctors. The machine began to fill up with smoke yet it still was showing the heartbeat. Lights began flickering at multiple speed that made some broke and the subject looked like she was having a seizure during this time, though it may be a possibility.
"What's wrong with the subject?!" Lane shouted to another doctor.
The doctor shook her head fast. "I don't know! I've never seen anything happen like this before!"
"Maybe she might be having a seizure or she still has a feeling with the…"
Within a heartbeat, all the lights, computers, and machines turned off quick as if it was a blackout. The child was crying very loud and Lane could tell that the nurse was trying to calm her down in the dark. The screaming finally stopped and soon one by one, the lights came back on. Lane let out a sigh of relief as the lights came out. He saw that Subject 1 was finally unconscious as the first couple of lights came on. And as the last light turned back on, he saw Lida with conscious holding the child in her hands. Suddenly, he saw the same nurse that he gave the child to, still clutching her and calming her down.
That's when he realized something; the screaming was for another birth. Subject 1 gave birth to twins.
As the other doctors tried to fix the machines, Lane walked to Lida to see the second newborn child. It was also a girl and she looks a lot smaller than the first one. As her eyes opened for the first time, the eyes were much different than the other pair. The child also has a black background like her fathers, but she has a ring in the middle in the color of bright green.
"Dr. Lane?" Lida asked. "Are you alright?"
Lane rubbed his forehead and nodded. "I'm fine, Lida. Just get these two children in a safe place while me and the others get this subject in her cryo-chamber."
Lida nodded and she and the nurse walked toward the doors and left the infirmary.
After putting Subject 1 in her chamber, Lane went to the room to where Lida and a couple of doctors were studying the children while they were sleeping in their glass beds.
"What do you know of the twins when I was gone, Lida?"
"Well, they may be twins, but they're both fraternal. They both have different motives and strength."
She walked by the child with the blue rings. "This one has the same motives as her father. The only similarity she has from her mother is her eyes. But she won't be harmful. She will grow at the same motive as a human being, yet have the same thirst for blood."
She then walked by the one with the green rings. "But this one is way stronger than the other one, knowing this from how powerful she caused a blackout during her birth. I studied that when she grows, her motives will grow so strong that there are times that she can't control herself. She may be a hybrid like her father and twin, but she has more vampire DNA than anyone else in the world. She will grow to take out an entire city."
Lane sighed with desperation and shook his head. "If this is true, then this child can't be raised here. There's no point to raise her if she'll take out all of our crew. I won't take that risk."
"But what'll we do with her, Dr. Lane?"
"Kill it."
Lida was so shocked by this that she dropped her clipboard. "Sir, are you mad?! You can't kill a child!"
"You're the one who's mad! This thing is not a child! Neither vampire or lycan! Just a freak of nature!"
Lida decided to not argue and just nodded. "Yes, Dr. Lane. But how will we kill the child?"
"We won't do anything to it. I'll just throw her away in a dumpster. I may not know that much of a hybrid, but one needs blood to survive and without it, it'll die."
Lane then came by the green-eyed child and carried her. "Take the other one in her room. She'll be called Subject 2. Nothing more, Lida."
She nodded, trying not to cry with the thought that a child will die, and began to carry the other child away. Lane nodded behind her back and walked out though the same doors. He rode the elevator down and went out the backdoor to a big dumpster and slowly laid the child in a box. The child then grabbed his finger and let out a small giggle. Lane tried to grab it back, but Lida's theory let him know that this might take a while to get his finger back.
Finally, he pulled it away from the child and she was still giggling. Lane still had a solemn look, even as he rubbed the child's head.
"I'm sorry, young one. It's nothing personal. You're just too strong to be alive. If only you have the same mobility as your sister."
With one turn, the doctor turned away from the dumpster and walked back into Antigen.

Hours passed and it was still dark in the city. A young vampire couple were walking by Antigen, hoping they wouldn't be found by humans. They're like the other couples: hoping they would never loose each other.
"Leonard," the woman said to her husband. "I don't know if I can take this. We just survived The Purge, but I don't know if we can survive out here." Leonard hugged his wife tight. "Don't worry, Vera. We'll find a way to survive. For now, we just need to find a place for refuge and maybe we can settle down."
Suddenly, they both heard crying from the dumpster and that made them jump.
"What was that?" Vera asked.
"I don't know, Vera," Leonard replied. They then both walked slowly to the dumpster and as they walked closer, they saw a baby girl in a small box.
"Oh, my God," Vera said in surprise. "It's a baby girl." She then grabbed the child and hold on to her tightly as she rocked the child.
Leonard then looked at the child. "Where did she come from?" He then turned away and yelled, "Hello? We have your child."
"Leonard, I don't think she's a human child," Vera said as the child calmed down. "Look at her eyes."
Leonard did what his wife told him to do and looked at the eyes. They both had iris' in the color of bright green, a very unusual color. It may be green, but they both know that it's bright and that the child is a vampire.
"Her eyes are not like the others, but she's still one of us," Vera said.
Leonard nodded. "She must have lost her parents in The Purge. She can't survive if she's left in this dumpster."
"Maybe we can take her as our own," Vera suggested.
Leonard first thought that is may be a problem, but he quickly changed his mind. He always wanted a child and this could be a chance for him.
"Yes, of course, Vera," he agreed. "We need to help this child. She needs someone to look up to and needs to know how to survive. She'll need all the help she can get from her new parents."
Vera smiled at him and looked back at the child and chuckled. "Your new father cares about you, Hale."
Leonard then looked confused. "Hale?"
"Yes, it was a name that I made up for myself when I was a child. I thought it could be perfect for her. If you don't like it, then I guess we could try something else."
"No, no, we don't need to change it. It's perfect. I love it." Leonard then looked at his new daughter and touched her head. "You'll be special one day, Hale."
With that, the child yawned and she began to close her eyes. The couple smiled deeply and started to walk away from the dumpster. They don't know that she is special. They didn't even know that her eyes turned back into her hybrid eyes before she went to sleep.
