The Virtue

A gothic horror short. Death hasn't cured Kitty of wanting. Transported in chains to the wild edges of Tasmania, she carries more than a convict's curse - she bears a sorcerous bloodline and a rare, coveted Virtue said to unlock true vampiric immortality. Guided by her maker, André - a self-styled prince among vampires - Kitty is reborn into a world of hunger and power. Under his tutelage, she learns the secrets of immortality, how to feed, how to glamour, how to build substance as a fully embodied revenant.
And in the dark corners of the housing estates, she turns her new strength toward a brutal purpose: clearing the ghettos of abusers who prey on the powerless. Yet even as she grows in power, her heart remains fixed on the past - searching through eternity for the loved ones the convict system tore from her. Haunted by the memories of a life stolen too soon, Kitty aches for the forbidden love she lost.
She yearns for freedom, unaware that there are other kinds of chains waiting to claim her. A revenant with a sorcerous lineage and a heart that refuses to die.
