She wanted me to trust her? I thought I would buurst out laughing. I had every right to doubt these vampires. I rubbed my neck again, but then I felt cool little drops of some sort of liquid... I backed away from her as I realized that she had touched me with her flood. I didn't know if I would faint or scream. Mayfair get a hold of yourself. She was just a child. What could such a tiny thing do to you. Drink my blood, kill me, or just give me back to the one who almost did kill me. She had saved my life, and even as I instinctly went back to the wounds, I knew in my heart that they had healed. I glanced at the child vampire, my disbelief growing every second as she spoke. She claimed to be an old family friend and that she would never hurt me. Well I wasn't exactly sure she'd keep her promise. I would not leave this house until I had Christine in my custody. "Thank you." I muttered as she left to speak to yet another immortal, a woman who seemed to be much older than the rest of the clan. I s t back on the couch, only to confront the vampire with the green eyes. Did he realize his beauty. I could drown in those eyes that gleamed in the pale lamplight. He grabbed my cell phone and called Lily. I wanted to say that I wasn't going to leave wi hout dear Chris, but I was too entranced. I sensed his sadness and the romantic in me just wanted to help him feel better. Mayfair snap out of it, but I couldn't. My hands went up to his face, slightly pushing a few strands of ebony hair back behind hi neck. I knew he wasn't controlling me. Even as a child I cursed the day I found out that even I could become a slave of my own powers. Staring into his somber reaction, I fell into my own sweet hell and only waited to see what would happen next.

I watched as Claudia healed the wounds on Nat's neck, and then walked back into the townhouse, saying something about being a guardian angel. I thought I faintly heard her say Pandora's name- it could be her, I thought, she lives close by. But I wasn't go ng in just yet. The mortal, Nat, was still here, and I didn't know what she was going to do now that this last struggle had come to a temporary close. Furthermore, I didn't know what she *could* do, since she was so drained of blood. I knew she had to be n the care of other mortals, so I slowly came closer to her, and said "Do you have a way of getting home?" Confusedly, I saw her look up at me, her auburn hair falling in front of her eyes. This was not good, I could tell. But suddenly I saw a cell phone n her pocket, and picking it up, noticed that it had phone numbers preset in it. Perfect, maybe one of these will lead to the Talamasca, I thought. Pushing one of the buttons, I received a female with a young voice on the other end, who answered the phone with "Hi, Lily- Talamasca." "Hello," I said. "I think you should send someone out to pick Nat up." I gave her the address, and sat down by Nat, waiting for her ride to show up.

The Mayfair girl was backing away from me, hurling accusations of tricks. "Why should I trust you?" and why indeed, for she could not know what motives lie in my heart. I let her go, watching her go into the parlour, trying to decide how much of the powe she had. As much as her ancestors? I wasn't yet sure. In a very protective way, she pressed her fingers to the wound at her neck. Slowly, trying to gain a little trust from her, I approached, sinking my fangs into my own finger, and laying the blood up n her wounds. Within moments I watched as they closed again, as did the blood upon my own hand. Taking the witch's hand in mine, I whispered to her, "Ask me no questions for I will give you no answers. Suffice it to say that I am an immortal gift from your family. You shall never be harmed by me." I slowly backed away from her then, like a ghost into the fog, leaving her with the most endearing look of confusion. The voice at the door caught my attention, and I rushed to the hallway to see if my ear deceived me. Pandora! How long had it been since I had seen her, and how wonderful that she was here! "Oh Pandora, how happy I am that you are here! I do so love your tales of great adventure, as if you are a living fairy tale!" I could not contain my excitement, for I adored Pandora as I adored my own Louis, and what a lovely surprise this was.

The call had been loud, louder than I could believe. "Take me away from this pain..." I followed the call across the country, and found myself creeping up to an antebellum mansion in Louisianna. I looked in the bedroom window and marvelled at the amoun of lace that covered the room. Whites and dusty peach and ecru. And there in the middle of an oversized bed covered in down lay a fragile, pale woman of indiscriminate age. The look on her face was one of frustration and pain. However, she had a big rin on her face. She weakly sat up in bed and stared right into my eyes, wiggling her finger for me to come in. Astonished and quite foolishly I looked around me to see if she meant someone else and then I realized I was floating outside the second floo window. I blushed, as much as a vampire could blush and went to the glass. It mentally unlocked it, pulled open the window. I floated seductively through the opening and sat on the edge of her bed. At this time the smile spread from ear to ear. "I'm so glad you heard my call. Take me, take me now." She ripped open her dressing gown, baring a sagging, wrinkled breast. I smiled and crept across the mountains of down up her slender body. "That Miss Rice was correct...there really is a Lestat." As s e uttered that name, I shrank back as if I believed in the old tales of crosses and garlic. And I sat in the middle of the bed, laughing hysterically. I glared at her, "My dear I am not Lestat! You will be devoured by SANTINO!" Her smile drifted off h r face and replaced by a look of fear. "I am older and far, far better. I was going to take you from your pain, but now I am going to make you suffer the pain even more." To hel with seductively creeping up her covers, I pounced on her and sank my fang in her neck, swallowing the gushing blood. Taking almost to the last drop, but leaving enough for her to survive. I wiped the thought of me from her mind, slapped her face and flew from the room.

*Actually, I wouldn't mind picking up where we left off, if you're not too full....* I smiled against her. She was probably the only one who would ever come up with a comment like that. I was going to speak to her when she suddenly whispered that we was aving company. It was Pandora, who stepped through that door. Well, we were now so many around we could start a party or something. She was looking fantastic, as always. "Nice to see you, Pandora," I said, still kneeling at the floor, with Christine's han in mine. I got up, facing her. Suddenly I wondered how long she had been here and I just hoped she hadn't heard anything of mine and Claudia's quarrel, without really understanding why. I gave her a smile. "What brings you over here?"

I looked up at Lestat as he asked if I wanted to go back to the guest room. I just nodded, though I did comunicate with him mentally, *Actually, I wouldn't mind picking up where we left off, if you're not too full....* I was just starting to try to stand hen I felt something. "We've got company," I whispered as yet another vampire joined us. Judging from her age and from her appearence, it could only be Pandora. Then again, I could be wrong. There could be other female vampires over 1,000 - or was it 2,00 - years old that Lestat knew....

Pandora, what is your problem? I asked myself as I moped around my small flat on Toulouse St in the French Quarter.The flat overlooked the St. Louis Cemetary, the exact reason I had chosen it.I had a book to take to Lestat, an antique dating from the earl 1600's. William Shakepears Othello. I found it just lying around a meuseum one night! My, mortals can be so careless! But this night I had a feeling that something was not quit right.Just go, drop off the gift and leave, I said aloud to myself. Taking th book in hand, I walked South to Royal St.The closer I got, the heavier the sense of danger became. As I turned the corner, heading East, the smell of mortal blood hit me. Hmmm, seems that there was some trouble up ahead. I reached the town house, standin across the street watching for movement. I could hear their voices in the house and had to laugh. How did Lestat get into such situations? He had a flair for the dramatic. But there was an underlying tone of danger to this situation. Mortals in the house two of them, and Talamasca at that! Mortals and their innate curiosity, don't they know curiosity killed the cat? I walked to the door, which stood ajar, and peeked my head in."Hello! Claudia, Louis? It's Pandora my sweets".Closing the door and latching t, I went up the stairs to the main room. ***"Lestat, I have a gift for you!"*** I really wanted to just give him the book and then go feed. I didn't see them too often, and liked to pick up a few things for their fancy from time to time. Especially for C audia. She was very dear to me. I respected her tremendously for her will to keep this life and her small family together.

I had hurted her, I had seen that in her eyes before I turned my back on her. How easy words could turn to mighty weapons, how easy it was to hurt those who I really didn't want to see harmed. I felt no joy or the slightest atom of satisfaction when she g ve me that look. Accusing. I had woken memories to live again, memories none of us needed, and not really hadn't forgotten either, just.. pushed them aside. And now they returned. That look in her eyes was just the same she had given me for so many years go. If I was not so proud I would have taken her in my arms, kissed her, begged for her forgivness, but I would not do that. I would never to that. I walked over to Christine, and kneeled beside her. My anger was still burning inside me, and I was quite ure my eyes showed it. She looked tired, so tired, and I was going to ask her if she had any pain, when I noticed that that wound had disappeard. Of course, I should have known that Louis would not bare to see her suffer. I looked over to him, seeing that he disliked my behavior against Nat very much. So beautiful he was when he was angry. I turned back to Christine and took her hand. "Are you feeling okay, Christine? Maybe you would like to return to the guestroom and get some sleep?" The calmness of my o n voice surprised me, though I felt everything but calm.

I could hear the little vampire child speaking to me in a soothing voice. I tried to stand but I just felt so damn weak and my head seemed to spin. I felt like a doll whose just been thrown away when she's old and worn. I glared at the one who attacked me but I knew that any attempt I made to strike back would only be futile. My superiors would be furious with me. Mayfair, your first assignment and you manage not only to get your agents killed but to also get yourself captured. I could just see their cruel grins as they laughed behind my back. I had to do something. The child implied that she wanted me to stay. Did I have any choice? Even if I tried to run away, what were my chances of surviving, being that I had been reduced to such an insecure s ate, and why did she care so much about me, I didn't even know any of their names, nor did I care. "Why should I trust you. You're vampires. You kill your victims, not even really caring if they have families or not. For all I know this could b a trick." I stood and backed up against the outside wall of the house. I put a hand on my head, trying to hold it up because it just felt so heavy, and because I needed to drink in what had just happened to me. I rubbed my fingers over the two sore wo nds at my neck, and all I could think about was how to drag the big stone next to me and drop it onto this insolent vampire's head. Damn Christine and damn the Talamasca. I walked back inside some what reluctantly and sat down on the couch. I glanced a Christine and I wondered how she was. If she only hadn't tried to fight me. I searched for her wound with my eyes, not really wanting to get too close to her and it shocked me to see that her scratch had disappeared. Great!! I sure as hell didn't wan to know what was going to happen next, especially since her eyes seemed to beat me in a staring match. I didn't want to know what was going through her mind. I only dreaded what would happen next.

I was outraged...what a devil Lestat was, throwing my own words back at me, twisting his beautiful face into an arrogant smile. How cruel he was and how I hated him for it! He knew too well that I had precious liitle bloodto give, he'd seen to that when he'd made me, and indeed she did not look well. Damn him. I kept his gaze until he'd gone, and only then did I turn to my Mayfair beauty, shaking her gently to wake her from the nightmore she's just experienced. He hadn't taken enough to kill her, thoug she was pale and weak. Cursing Lestat to the depths of Hell, I gently spoke to Natalie, trying to help her to her feet, looking to Louis for the help I was too proud to ask him for.

"If you want her, then I shall take Christine. You leave my witch to me and you can have your precious Talamasca victim." She was looking straight into my eyes, and I didn't turn my gaze away from her for one second either. A deal, that was what she wante ? And how much I wanted to, I knew I could not refuse. I bite my lip, feeling the taste of my own blood in my mouth. "You'll have your witch, don't worry. But she don't seem to be feeling very well right now" I said, glancing over at Nat, with a expressio of worry on my face. "She looks a little bit pale, don't you think? Maybe you should give her some of that valuble cold blood of yours...don't you think that would make her feel much better?" I turned my back to her, started to make my way back into the ownhouse, and then turned back, facing her once more. "But I warn you Claudia, if she does anything which would mean the slightest threath against our safety..." I paused for a second, with a small smile playing on my lips. "How did you say it, Claudia? ' shall hold you responsible for anything that occurs in this house that displeases me, so remember, *she* is your responsibility now'" I turned around once more, before all my self-control would disappear and I would stand there screaming at her once mor .

I was floating in the place between sleep and wakefullness again. I could hear talking. Claudia. Something about Nat and me. It didn't really matter. I just wanted to sleep. It was warm here. Better. Safer. Like being in my mother's womb. I didn't want to come-to. I wanted to stay in this blackness. Unfortunatly, life wasn't giving me that choice. I slowly sat up, groaning. God, would this night never end?

"Fine you just go around and fall in love with every mortal on the streets.." As Lestat spat these words out to me I couldn't stop the laughter that bubbled from my lips. Lestat of all people, lecturing me about mortal love! Was he not the most predica able of all to have a soft spot for them? I hadn't stopped laughing as he continued to threaten me for interfering with him "doing as he pleased". Once said, I became very serious, all laughter gone from me as I glared blue dagers through him. 'Have yo finished then? Well then I shall offer you a compromise...once, and that is all. If you want her, then I shall take Christine. Do not be such a fool to think that you will stop me either. This is larger than even you can comprehend, my dear Lestat. ou leave my witch to me and you can have your precious Talamasca victim. Do we understand each other, monsieur?" I stood, arms folded, never taking my eyes from his cold gray ones. I'd thought to explain to him my devotion to the Mayfairs once, though hought better of it, and it has become a wise choice as I can see now. I knew he would likely accept my solution, whether it suited him or not, for he was so obviously smitten with his lovely Christine, and would not place her death in my hands so easil .

"Damn you Lestat , this one is mine! I will not let you take her, I will not!" Claudia screamed, furiously pushing me aside and moving over to protect Nat. "How dare you go between me and *my* victim! You have never cared for a mortal before! Why do you h ve to choose this one?!" I yelled at her, uncapable of keeping my voice down. "Fine, you just go around and fall in love with every damned mortal you see on the streets, I don't care, do what ever you want, it's fine with me! But I tell you Claudia, do NO try to keep me from doing what I please!"

I stood perfectly still, my eyes fixed upon the scene unfolding outside. I was torn in anguish over the sight of Lestat with my Mayfair witch, knowing I'd pledged never to harm one, though Lestat had made no such promise. I turned my eyes back to Louis, o kind and gentle he was as he took care of the lovely Christine. I tried desperately to keep my eyes from Lestat, trembling with anger at the disaster this had all become. Finally I could stand to watch it no longer and went to him, pulling him from th girl, unleashing my fury. "Damn you Lestat , this one is mine!" I screamed at him , the sound of my voice shrill like that of a child. "I will not let you take her, I will not!" placed myself between them, protecting her, wondering at my own sanity th t I would cross Lestat over a mortal woman's life. But this was no ordinary mortal woman, this was a descendent fo my fair Deirdre, and I would give my own life again to hold true to my promises to her.

*sigh* Finding the right place to bury the body was taking too long from the street. It was time to look from higher ground. The highest building near me was a few stories - perfect for viewing the city. Luckily, the building was easy to climb. Ah - t ere's a good place - a site of...how do you say it? Building work? Perfect. A bit of acrobatics and I was on the ground again. Dash across a few blocks, look for observers, dig quickly, and bury the body. They'll never notice, especially with the rai . Oh, so messy this life is when you are a visitor. I use the rain to clean myself as best as possible - it doesn't work well. Time to head back to my hotel, change, and then pay a visit if there's still time left in the night...

Lestat had swiftly taken Nat outside, to do what I wasn't sure. Christine sat on the floor, and after briefly examining her bloodied foot, collapsed on the rug. My God, this was a disaster! And to think that just yesterday everything had been calm around ere! I walked over to Christine, confident that Nat wouldn't be waving her gun at me *now*. I bent down to examine her foot. Bones shattered, blood staining everything around it. And, oh, the scent of it! I would have found this truly unbearable if I hadn t fed already. I knew what I meant to do, and I quickly bit into my index finger, spreading my blood all over her damaged foot. The bullet lay there, lodged into the floor, so I didn't have to worry about picking it out of her foot, which was definitely a good thing, since I don't know if I would have had the courage to do so. Slowly, I watched the bones heal, and the skin resume its normal state. I looked over at Claudia, who was watching the whole scene, but she seemed distracted by something outside. "W at's going on?" I asked quietly, while standing back up. There, in the courtyard I saw Lestat holding Nat in his arms, draining her of blood! "Lestat!" I called to him, as I stood frozen in the doorway. This was awful! Must everything involve such havoc a ound here, I thought. I couldn't take watching this, so I turned my back to the door, and instead found myself staring at Claudia's golden curls. I crossed my arms across my chest, praying that Lestat wouldn't kill the mortal.

Lestat was going to kill Nat. Did I care? Not really. I cared more about the bullet in my foot. I sat on the ground, letting him drain the bitch as I took over my bloody shoe and sock. I lifted my foot to see the bullet had gone clean thru it and shattere the bones. I really should have passed out from the pain, instead I tied my sock around it, trying my best to stop the flow of blood. God only knew what the smell would do to my friends. *Damn you, Nat,* I mentally said to the dying woman. *You couldn't eave well enough alone, could you? Have a good death.* I could see spots floating before my eyes. Then all of a sudden things went black.

I saw Nat pointing with that damned gun over at us, leading Christine slowly out of the door. What was going on in her little mind right now? She couldn't believe a gun would frightend me? She couldn't believe I would just stand there and see her walk awa , could she? For a moment I stared at the blood on the floor, and then I looked up again, and in that moment there was no real thoughts in my head. I was over her, and I heard the sound of another shot, and a scream, but I was incapable to relate it with any occurrence at all. I looked into her eyes before I lowered my fangs in her neck. Her blood flowed into me, and all the time my anger was rising against this woman. I couldn't hurt Christine, but this one, I wanted to see dead, I hated her, and I wante to be the one to kill her.

"I'm not Julian, little girl," I spat pointing at the man with the green eyes. My arm held my bleeding captive firmly as she squirmed from the pain. "If you had just come quietly none of this would have happened. Really Christine, I thought you had more sense than that. The Talamasca won't be pleased." Damn the Talamasca! We wouldn't be in this predicament if they hadn't been desperate. I slowly led her out the door, our feet finding the steps, and I suddenly wished I still had agents to cover me. Th n the vampire with the blond hair rushed at me, his movements to fast for me to calculate his position. I fired off a shot, heard Christine scream and then I felt the cobbly surface of the street, two blue/grey eyes staring back at me. I felt his hand t ace my neck as he dragged me of the ground, the two of us standing face to face. His head disappeared into the nape of my neck, feeling the tiny sting as he broke through my skin. I saw so many images, my mind becoming drowsy every second that ticked aw y. Was I feeling exstasy or terror? I tried to push him away but only managed to moan as I closed my eyes and waited for the end.

As I sat there on the piano bench I felt the presence of Claudia moving in beside me. She tried to convince me that her intentions were honorable, and as I looked into her eyes she became almost playful, obviously intent on earning my trust in this situat on. I couldn't help but smile at her as she kissed me and drew me off of the bench and back into the hallway. Alright, I thought, maybe she *won't* harm these mortals. Maybe these conclusions I was coming to were unjust. But the sight I was greeted with u on nearing the others was nearly enough to make my jaw drop. Nat was holding Christine, and as the two of them struggled, a bullet shot through Christine's foot! The placid mood I was in the moment before had been completely shattered! I *knew* that havin these mortals here would jeopardize *someone's* safety! Faintly, I heard Claudia make a comment to Nat about some Julien person not approving. I started towards the two mortals, but the gun was immediately pointed in my direction, and I stopped, waiting o see what they'd do...

The look in thoe beautiful green pools of liquid fire told of my forgiveness. My love for an eternity, he could never bear me anger for very long. Louis allowed my playful charm to take hold, and together we found our way to our guests. The scene befor was was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and it was apparent that my beloved Lestat had quite an endearment for this young girl. My eyes caught the glance of my lovely Mayfair witch, and I was amused at her little passion for the dramatic. What c red I if she took the life of Christine, for I had little compassion for mortals by my very nature. I did, however, care that she seemed to believe that she would be leaving us. Like lightening, the flash of cold steel and a cry of anguish rang out from Christine. The Mayfair girl stared at her wounded captive and I took the moment to near her, speaking in a hushed tone. "Such petty violence, my love, do you think that Julien would have done things this way?"

I could feel Lestat's lips on my skin. *Yes, please....* I thought. I knew what he was going to do and I wanted it. I wanted it more then I could say. Suddenly he was pushing me away. Nat took that moment to grab me and start firing her gun. "NO!" I screa ed, struggling against her grip. I wanted to go back to Lestat. Deperately, I grabbed for the gun, struggling with her. I even tried to bite her thumb to get it away. I got the gun to aim downwards and screamed in pain as the stuggle made it go off and hi me thru the foot.

Foolish vampire. Did he realize what he just did? Christine would never trust him now. This was my chance and I smiled slightly as I carressed the cool, metalic surface of the Magnum, savoring the mischievious thoughts racing through my mind. I felt t e handle, wrapping my fingers around the trigger, not reall caring if anyone noticed. I had a feeling that the vampire child would not harm me and I smiled at her as the recognition of what I was about to do, painted her silky face. I grabbed Christine' arm, pulling her in front of me and pointing the gun to her table. I made the lights go out in the room, breaking glass falling to the ground. "I'm sorry it had to be like this Chris, but the Talamasca wants you," I whispered as we headed towards the op n door.

Christine's body was warm, so warm, against my cold skin, and for a second there was nothing but her heartbeats, the rythm of her blood in her veins, the warmth.. The world seemed to have disappeard before my eyes, leaving nothing but the pounding of her eart. Suddenly I knew I was losing all self control, I wanted her, how I wanted her, and the feeling, the bloodlust became to strong for me to handle. I lifted my hand, slowly, and carefull pushed her head back, kissing her cheek, slowly down to her neck. I knew I had to stop now, get away from her touch, if I didn't now I would take her. I pushed her away, too fast, too violent. I took her hand again, careful. "I'm sorry Christine, I.." Heck, what should I tell her? She knew exactly what I had been doing, what I had been feeling, I could see it in her eyes. She knew, and the worst thing was that so did Nat, who stood beside, still watching, silent, meorizing every single detail, probably already wondering how she should tell Talamasca about this *incident* Loyal into death, wasn't she? And I let her silent know what I felt about that, more convinced than ever that she could not leave this house.

Comments:
Lestat took me into his arms and I didn't resist. Of course, I knew I was under his spell, but that was fine by me. I felt so safe, here in his arms. No Talamasca could get me in his arms. No one could hurt me. I pressed my warm body close to his, resting my head on his chest. My eyes closed as I wrapped my arms around his waist. I was in Heaven. Yes, Heaven was right here in Lestat's arms and I didn't want to leave, ever.

"I'm not going anywhere, Nat, I am staying here, like it or not." Her voiced was very mechanical, very unlike hers. I smiled at her, still looking deep into her eyes, as I pulled her a little bit closer. "Wonderful, Christine. You have no idea how happy our decition makes us..." Well at least me. I felt a great relief over the fact that Claudia had accepted, no, actually invited them both to stay, even though I knew that it hadn't done any difference if she hadn't. But she had a motive for this, and I wa ted to know what it was. It was very unlike her. But Claudia had left, joining Louis, and here was I, with these two mortals. I looked over at Nat, still holding Christine close to me. "Are you sure Nat? We would all enjoy your company, I assure you. And give you my word, no one will harm you as long as you are under my roof." But what was the word of a vampire really worth? I gave her a rather wicked smile, waiting for an answer.

I could hear people speaking, but I couldn't take my eyes off Lestat's. The entire world was nothing but his eyes. I knew Nat was speaking. I knew I was speaking too, though I'm sure my voice was like that of a robot. "I'm not going anywhere, Nat," my eye still focused on Lestat's, "I am staying here, like it or not." I wanted to fall into those eyes, drown myself in them. I wanted Lestat to take me in his arms and never let me go. I wanted.... I don't remember - all I could remember now was Lestat's eyes His beautiful eyes.

"I didn't even want to join!" Christine screamed as she ran past me and down the stairs, the man and child running after her. I couldn't believe her self pity. As if it really were the end of the world. The one with the green eyes looked at me, disbeli f painting his face. I smiled at him and walked down the stairs knowing he followed right behind me. I overheard the girl's comment, saying that we could both stay here. "As much as I would like to stay, I'm afraid that I'll have to decline your invita ion." Did she really think I was that stupid. I imagined what life would be like here, the blood-slave of the vampires, my life force slowly being drained away until nothing remained. Gee Mayfair, that's a grim notion. "Look Christine, I know the Tala asca haven't been exactly....kind, but if you would at least come with me and talk to them. Well at least you could tell them once and forall that you want out. If they don't allow it then, I'd hate to say this but your screwed. What makes you think th ir not dead already?" I knew her parents were all right, but I couldn't gaurantee the lifetime. Besides I needed her to come with me, and if she refused, well then I was going to have to resort to extreme measures. I was Julian Mayfair's great-granddau hter. Hell anything could happen with the manipulation of a couple of tiny objects.

As I stood waiting for Christine's answer I felt my beloved's presence and noticed him entering the parlour where this night had began. I steped down from the final stair, nodding to my new *guest*, knowing that Lestat would complete the invitation, conv ncing her to stay with his wicked charms. I peered around the parlour entrace to see my beauty, sitting with his back to me, his long silken hair falling about his shoulders. Quietly I approached him, sliding myself upon the bench beside him, and reachi g out to grasp his hand. "My love, you break my heart when you doubt me. I shall give you my word that this is no game that I play. I have honourable reasons for wishing these girls to stay, and have come to plead for your faith in me." I caressed his cheek with one small hand, lightly kissing him just behind his ear. I turned his face to mine and my face lit with a beautiful smile. How I loved him so, and I giggled in playfulness, hoping to lighten his mood, kissing him gently upon his full lips. " y love, shall we see to our guests together then?"

My little outburst didn't have the effect I was hoping it would- to calm them down so we could all speak reasonably. Instead, it seemed to only make them want to scream over me! I stood there, lodged between the two raving women, until Christine finally p shed past both of us and ran down the stairs. Lestat quickly darted off after her, with Claudia following closely behind. I turned to look at Nat for a second, and then took off after the other three. By the time I reached the bottom of the stairs I saw L stat practically hypnotizing Christine with his gaze, pursuading her to stay. Claudia agreed, and added that Nat could stay with us as well. Slowly, I took in the implications of this whole scene. Yes, Lestat wanted Christine to stay, but were his reasons harmless? And Claudia, asking two mortals to stay? It seemed dangerous, suddenly, and while I wanted to know what their plans were, I just couldn't take their presence for a moment longer. I turned and walked off to the piano room, making far more noise i doing so than I would have liked. I headed straight for the bench, and sat down backwards on it so that I faced the wall opposite to the door. I didn't want to see them play with and lure these poor mortals into staying here with three demons. Yes, I wan ed Christine to stay for a while, but I didn't want it to mean watching Lestat's and Claudia's every move. I knew how they liked to taunt their victims now and then, and judging from the tones in their voices I knew that this was where it was going...

As gracefully as my small steps could carry me, I descended the stairs, following in the wake of Lestat after Christine. Her distress was so evident across her lovely features, and I was beholden to her as she spoke of my anger towards her. I remained u on the bottom step, allowing myself to look her in the eye. "I do not hate you, cherie, you mistake me. You have very simply disrupted my life this evening. Will you leave it then, as it is? I would think that you should like to stay until we may be a le to enjoy a little more time together, non? Your friend Natalie may stay as well, and please, consider me your most gracious hostess." I curtsied as I smiled at her sweetly, fluttering my eyelashes innocently. I truly meant her no harm, though it may have been too late to convince her of such. The simple fact remained that if she were to go, Natalie would go as well, and I had not yet had my fill of the lovely Mayfair girl, just as I suspected Lestat wished for Christine to stay as well.

"Christine, listen to me. You can not leave us, ma chére, not now, not like this!" Lestat said, his grip tight on my hands. He was staring in my eyes and I knew I should turn my head. Anything but let him.... but I couldn't. I couldn't tear my gaze away f om his. I looked at him, speaking before his powers could take hold of me. "I don't *want* to leave, Lestat, but you'll never have peace while I'm here, and Claudia already hates me, I can see it in her eyes...." My voice trailed off. I knew I was giving nto him, that before long his power would take over. I didn't tear my gaze away from those lovely grey eyes. Or were they blue? Soon, his eyes were all I could see. They floated before me. I felt at peace. I knew I would do anything, follow those eyes any here. Those eyes. Those wonderful eyes....

"Please, sir. Would you kindly take your hand off of my shoulder." She was not afraid of anything, was she? I gave her a brief smile, and did what she wanted, slowly. All the feelings I had suffered from before threatened to come back, overhealming me, and I knew I would hav to consentrate on something else, to shut out all thoughts from my mind right now. Claudias small hand was still in mine, and the closeness of her gave me a great solace. Suddenly Christine was screaming once more, and then rushing out of the room, down he stairs, in an attempt to leave, and for a moment I just stared after her, confused, feeling terrible unable to think, before I let go of Claudia's hand and rushed after her, catched up with her just when she got to the door. I stoped her by taking her ands, looking deep into her eyes. "Christine, listen to me. You can not leave us, ma chére, not now, not like this!" I took a deep breath, not letting her go with my gaze.

I couldn't help but to laugh as this young Talamasca agent dared to speak to me in that tone. I was hurting her....I didn't need to be told. My eyes diverted to the sight of Lestat at the door, and the young Mayfair made her escape. I looked at the tra ling sight of her, my mind drifting back to another time, another life, and another Mayfair. Her family preceeded her, and I knew at once how it was that she dared. I'd known Dierdre Mayfair, and well, for she thought me a ghost of the daughter that had been taken from her. Beautiful and silent, my Dierdre, and I'd made a promise then that had come back to haunt me this evening it seemed. Any thought of taking the blood of this girl, however tempting the idea had been only moments ago, was to be banish d. what a pity it was, though I placed great importance upon any promises I made, however long ago. I sighed as I took my fathers hand and he led me after her.

Another rainy night. The rain and thunder surround me. Sometimes I feel on a night such as this as if the electricity ran through me. Daniel warned of some phenomenon they called... A view shifts my train of thought. A glimpse of a mortal, dashing through the night. What, can't take the rain? I steal into the shadows and watch this mortal from afar coming ever closer; my blood hunger curdles. This must be my night! As the mortal is about to pass me, I cough quietly and tip my hat to him. He stops and looks. Fear? Anger? Impatience to be ry? Too easy - his eyes lock with mine and he is overcome. I beckon with a finger and he approaches. I ask him his name; he says "Stephen". Dripping wet, so miserable. I will end this; I should not toy with my victim so much - such cruelty would be t e tool of others. It is quick - from running, his muscles are loose, the blood flowing freely. The feeding is easy, and he does not resist. Ah, the warmth of the blood, it re-energizes me. *sigh* Now to dispose of the corpse. I pick him up and begin to run through the n ght, to find a la poubelle - waste bin?

"I DID NOT EVEN WANT TO JOIN!" I screamed back. "THEY FORCED ME!" Why didn't she get it? Why? "THEY DO NOT FUCKING UNDERSTAND ME!" She just didn't get it, did she? I never ASKED for this! I never wanted it! I was FORCED, damn it! It was true, yet they bli ded her to the truth, making her feel guilty by throwing their "taking care of her" crap in her face. She didn't see what went on. The people secretly selling the items collected. They were corrupt. Evil. There was nothing good about the Talamasca. And th y had brain-washed Nat. "If they understood me they would have let me live my life. The other children never, EVER knew about my powers. I could keep it secret from them! I always had! My poor parents didn't even know until the Talamasca forced theirselve into our lives! And you know what they told them? They told that because of these powers I was destined to give birth to the Anti-Christ! They used that lie to steal me from my God-fearing parents because they knew it was mom and dad's biggest weakness! DID NOT WANT TO JOIN THEN! AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE A MEMBER NOW! THE FUCKING SHITHEADS CAN ALL GO TO HELL!" I started to break down and finally I pushed my way past all three of them. "I was FORCED Nat, remember that - they STOLE me from my family - they care more about my powers then they do about me! At least my parents love me for me and not what I can gain them!" I was halfway down the stairs. Soon I'd be out of here. Tears rolled down my face again as I realized I'd never see Lestat, Louis, or Claudi again. Life sucked. Badly.

"AT LEAST YOU HAVE A FAMILY!" I screamed at her wanting to shake her so badly it hurt. "Gee Christine, you think your life really sucks. You want to be an actress and a singer...you just want to be left alone. Get a life. The world isn't as innocent a you thought it was. You comming running all the way from California, and what's the first thing you do? You break the rules and meet these blood-sucking fiends from hell. So the Talamasca threatened your family. We'll deary, if you hadn't broken your contract with the motherhouse, you wouldn't be having all this trouble, now would you? Blame the Talamasca, the only people who understood you when you were a child, shielded you and your family from the children who called you a freak because of your te epathic powers. It's so easy...to blame others when the real person responsible is you." I stopped, tears streaming down my eyes as I roughly wiped them away with the back of my sleeve. How dare she accuse us. The Talamasca cared about its people. Th y took care of me after my parents died in the car crash. The brought me up, taught me how to control my powers. They were my family and Christine was accusing them of being unjust. I wanted to scream again, knock some sense into her. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see the blond-haired man. This was it. I was cornered between to vampires, but if they thought that their job was easy, I sure as hell would change their mind. I planned to see my 23rd birthday, and if I needed to fight to s ay alive, I damn well was going to fight even if it meant dying. "Please, sir. Would you kindly take your hand off of my shoulder."

Just when I stepped inside, the woman pushed Claudia aside and ran into the house. I turned over to Claudia, who stood there, looking after her. "Maybe we should she what is going on, don't you think? We can't let Louis take care of this all by him self" smiled at her, not waiting for any replay I started to walk upstairs and to the guestroom, where Christine probably were, although, I didn't have to stand beside to hear her screams. "Screw you, Nat! Get the fuck out of my life once and for all!" So, Nat was her name? I moved slowly closer, seeing Louis standing between them both, and then he begun to speak, demanding answers."What is going on here? Nat, why is Christine so important to the Talamasca, and why can't your agents leave her alone?" I moved up to Nat, placing my hand on her shoulder. "Yes, Nat, I think you owe us some answers." I gave Louis a mischievous smile, not taking my hand from Nat.

Christine let me into the room, and immediately started talking about how she was leaving, and what she might do with her life, and a series of other things said so hurriedly that I hardly caught half of them. She paused just long enough to give me one of those grins again, and started towards the door. But I wasn't letting her out so quickly. I realized how distressed she was over the whole situation, but I didn't want her wandering around out there, and besides, she might be a possible threat to us by kn wing where we live- who could know? Before I had a chance to say anything, Nat appeared behind me, asking Christine for her cooperation, which brought forth screaming and cursing from Christine. I couldn't take this anymore- If I had to be smack in the mi dle of one more argument I thought I'd scream, myself. So I decided to do something about it. "Stop this!" I said loudly. "What is going on here? Nat, why is Christine so important to the Talamasca, and why can't your agents leave her alone?" I moved to t e side of the doorway, so I could face them both. I looked back from one to the other, hoping my little outburst would clear some things up around here.
