I opened my eyes, slowly, looking around without looking on anything particular, and then I
stretched my muscles, slowly, really waking up from my death sleep. Neither Claudia nor Louis
seemd to have waked up yet, but about Armand and Marius I was not sur
. Hell I was not sure were they were sleeping either. I got dressed, and turned on the candles and
oil lamps in my room, before I heard a knock on the door. I headed down into the hallway,
lightning every lamp and candle on my way , and opened the door. I
was Pandora, and I could tell on her color that she already had fed. I could tell something else
to. She had to have been a bit bored this morning, though she had drastical changed her look
with bobbed, burgandy hair, which reached down to her shoulders,
and black make up. She was very early, indeed. I gave her a smile. "Nice hair, Pandora! You
have been pretty buisy, I guess." Then I realized that it didn't really sound as I had thought it,
actually, what was ment as a compliment sounded rude, in some wa
. "Oh, I didn't mean to.." I sighed. "What am I thinking of? I can't let you stand outside all night."
I said, moving over to the side so she could pass me. "Besides, I'm sure Marius will be glad to
see you again. If he has woke up, that means."

It was nearly evening anyway I thought as I cradled my head in my hands. I sat for a long while
thinking of the dream, letting the dark despair engulf me, red tears streaming down my white
marble face.Marius, I miss you. I am so alone, even being surround
d by my kin, I am alone in my maddness. The steam from the shower felt like a warm blanket
wrapping around my body, I was cold, and the hot steaming water warmed me a bit temporarily.
I would feed before going to the townhouse to relieve some of my men.Th
depression that had engulfed me not many years ago threatened to descend, but I refused to let
this happen again. Laughing, I pulled out the blow dryer and decided to primp as vain mortal
women do. Studying my hair closley in the little round mirrior wip
d clean of the steam, the decision was made. Under the cabinet I pulled out one of many boxes
of a hair paint I favored and a pair of scissors.Hmmm,burgandy it shall be!An hour later, the
transformation was complete.Shoulder length, bobbed, burgandy hair,
extreme black eye makeup and black lip color.Not bad for a women over 2000 years old!The
closet was brimming with the extreme to the boring. Black leather tonight, complete with spiked
heeled boots. I viewed myself in the full length mirrior, good, just t
e look to lift my spirits!I left the flat just as the sun was a sliver on the horizon. My favorite time
of the day. The smell of night just creeping up from the earth and birds yelling their shrill
warnings.Just outside the front door I heard it,faint, bu
audible. Santino! So sly he was! In my secret place with my guest! I hope he doesn't scare her!
Him I trusted completly, and looked forward to seeing him. Feeling much better now, and with a
jaunt to my step I headed North to the Ramparts, then went west
stopping to survey the crowds already gathering for a Saturday night of frollicking. The lust was
high, enabling me to pick quickly.A tall, dark haired young man! Just the ticket. He needed no
coaxing as I led him to the cemetery, through the old stones
nd behind an ornate mauseleum.Grabbing his crotch and pulling up slightly with a squeeze, he
sighed, sucking in air as his eyes looked steadily into mine."Lets have a little fun, shall we?" I
unzipped his jeans and dropped to my knees, his hands going to
y hair as he leaned back against the stone wall still warm from the afternoon sun.This was too
easy!As my mouth wrapped around him, my tongue gliding around his hard shaft, he moaned,
stiffening his legs, pushing himself deeper into me. Hmmm, why not, I t
ought. Let him go out with a bang! I almost gagged as I laughed at this thought. He was
thinking...wait till the guys hear about this! Yes, I thought, wait till the guys hear about how they
found your mangled corpse in the St. Louis Cemetery! He exploded
nto my mouth, groaning loudly, his legs beginning to shake, then his hands loosened on my hair
and he slumped, sliding down the wall to sit on the damp ground.Smiling at him"Was it good for
you?" And at that point he took his first real look at me, and th
fear crept over his face, disbelief in his eyes. "What the hell.."he began, and before another
word passed his sweet young lips, I was penetrating him, visciously tearing at his neck, lapping
up the hot thick liquid.Ah!I am sure this is better for me tha
it was for you! I drained him to the point of death and as his heart beat it's last, I snapped his
neck like a toothpick, ripping the tendons and muscles out, throwing his once handsome head to
the other end of the cemetary. Rising, licking my lips, wipi
g my chin, I smiled and decided to make this interesting for the local authorities to peice
together. His limbs strewn about and the wallet in my back pocket, I strolled out to the
ramparts.Headed down Toulouse St, to Royal, and nodding to the four men st
nding gaurd, I knocked on the door of the townhouse. This was going to be a wonderful
night!

It was the tingle that woke me up. I had finally slept fully. I must have been extremely tired
because I didn't wake up until after sunset. Ug. My head felt all fuzzy from sleeping so much and
I could just barely open my eyes. I struggled out of slumber,
orcing myself to sit up. I looked over at a male vampire sitting, humming to himself. I was
awe-struck by his beauty. Then again, all vampires are beautiful, but some more so then others.
This one was comparable to Lestat. I kept my mind shield up so he c
uldn't sense my thoughts, though from the feel I'm sure, like Lestat, he could break easily thru
this shield. I stared at him, wondering what he could want. I tried to keep my heartbeat calm,
though I failed miserablly. Looking at him I said probably what
was the most humorous thing one could say in a situation like this, "Introductions can wait.
Mother Nature's calling." With that I scrambled out of bed and went looking for the nearest
bathroom. There I did my thing and washed up. When I was finished I we
t back to the bedroom, the vampire still there. I wasn't about to get dressed in front of him, so I
just walked over and held out my hand. "I'm Christine."

I awoke shortly before sunset, I knew because even though this house was completely boarded
up, I could feel its pull on me. That yearning to go out into its rays and burst into flames. The
same urge one gets when standing on the roof of a tall building
and wanting to leap into the atmosphere. I looked around me and saw that I was alone. The
woman had moved on to some room. I began investigating this place of Pandora's and sent out
to her my arrival. **My sweet, I am here in your hideaway, with your s
eet mortal. I won't do anything rash, you can trust me.** I found the stairs and without opening
doors searched the rooms for the sweet, protected mortal. I found her and she was bundled up in
blankets, softly asleep, dreaming of...damnit, Lestat. Thou
h, this dream bothered me, I slowly opened the door, and crept to the edge of her bed. Looking
at the innocent sleep in her eyes, I sat in the corner of the room not wanting to bother her rest. I
know how mortals need their beauty sleep, and I wasn't go
ng tpo harm her in anyway. I sat in an overstuffed chair and slowly hummed one of the songs
she had played last night, waiting for this cherished mortal to awake.

The spirit introduced herself as Stella Mayfair, and suddenly all the pieces fell together! Of
course! *That* was why she looked so familiar to me- I'd seen pictures of her before at family
gatherings! Stella, one of my third cousins, who died tragically
t a party by the hands of her brother... or was it her aunt? Who could remember. Anyway, I was
thrilled beyond my wildest dreams that one of my relatives was speaking to me as a spectre, but I
wanted to know why she was here, and not in peace. I didn't da
e ask her, though. It just seemed too upfront, and I'd just met her a few minutes ago. Crazy
sounding, isn't it? I just met someone a few minutes ago that I'm related to, who died over 70
years ago. It took quite a bit of effort suppressing a smile over t
at one! Anyway, she watched as I put Nat in the car, and I sat beside Nat, playing with the seat
belt, and making sure the safety of her gun was on. I heard Stella tell the driver to take us to the
First Street mansion, and that we'd have a great time the
e. "The First Street home?" I asked her. "It's uninhabited?" I looked closely at Stella, noticing
that she seemed to grow stronger with our attention. Interesting...

Armand looked at me, and said "Oh come now. You returned to Lestat, and what of Claudia?
Where did she come from?" I stared at him blankly for a second, then realized that it indeed
*had* been awhile since I'd seen him. Lestat, Claudia, and I had been liv
ng in this house together for about five years now, so of course this wasn't anything new to me. I
was about to tell him that Claudia never died at his wretched theater, but suddenly all hell broke
loose in the townhouse! Gunshots, yelling, sounds hitting
the floors- I didn't know *what* was going on. I only hoped that Claudia and Lestat weren't
involved in it, and that they were safe. I turned back to Armand, and saw him moving towards
the stairway, motioning for me to follow. I stood there for a second,
ondering what he was up to, and then slowly, I moved towards him. "What?" I asked him softly,
as we ascended the stairs...

His hand carressed my arm, gently squeezing the flesh. Looking up into his eyes, alight with the
preternatural glow of the being that he was, I gasped. Being led down, down into the earth to a
chamber barred by a thick door, I became frightened. The light
flickering from the torches made dancing shadows, eerily in the shape of spirits ,dance on the
walls of this close tunnel.This is a mistake, I do not belong here. But the time for turning to run
had passed and the time to meet my fate had arrived. The sto
e steps leading into the chamber were wet and slick with mold. I lost my footing, scraping the
wall as I tumbled to my knees. The ecstasy was upon me, and I knew all, became all in that one
moment as the mind went black and I gasped for air."You are mine
ow my sweet Pandora, and you shall serve along me,devote yourself to The Ones Who Must Be
kept."The persperation was dripping from my hair, my heart beating so slowly I thought I must
be dying, and then the hot thick liquid filled my throat, and I drank d
eply, every nerve alive, every sensation I had ever felt coming to a climax in that one moment.
As I felt I could endure no more, my mind and soul would explode in agony and ecstasy, I was
being pushed back against the damp stone wall."Marius! I am dying!
. I awoke with a start, reeling from the reality of the dream, so intense, exhausting, hurteling me
back through time to that dark tunnel far below the earth. Standing on shaking legs, walking a
few paces to the end of the four poster bed, I collapsed int
tears.

She was smiling against me, telling me those words I could not be able to spoke out loud. "I love
you, my father, always know that. You are just the most insufferable crature at times" I returned
the smile. "I could say the same about you, Claudia." I ans
ered, before I turned around and walked out of her room. I needed to get some sleep now, but
first I wanted to be sure that Louis and Armand was okay, where ever they could be right now.
"Lestat, my
boy", a voice called out, a voice which I didn't have to think about long to recognize. "Marius.." I
turned around and looked at him. First Pandora, which really wasn't that surprising, and then
Armand, and now Marius! Where everyone going to join us this
evening? But I could not say that his presence irritated me, actually, I was overjoyed to see him
again. Did he know that Armand was around? "What is happening here? I sensed trouble and
came to see what was the matter? It seems quiet here now." I walked
ver to him and put my arms around him. "Yes, now it's quiet.." My thoughts returned to the past
hour. "Just be glad you was not here fifteen minutes ago. It's nothing I would recommand,
especially not just before bedtime. Who knows, I'll might get nightma
es just because of all that..." What was I really doing? Standing here, babbling, trying to make
stupid jokes about a situation that wasn't amusing at all. I smiled tired. "I'm sorry Marius, I'm not
able to think clear. I'll explain everything for you t
morrow, but now it is getting late." Suddenly the thougt dawned on me. "Where are you staying?
If you would like, would be very glad if you wanted to stay here through the day." I said, and my
thoughts returned to the guestroom. I sighed. We had to get t
at window fixed, in a hurry. But all that had to wait until tomorrow. I looked at Marius, waiting
for a replay.

The tingle grew incredibly strong and when I looked over to the couch I saw another vampire, a
male, old and powerful, sleeping on it. I stood and backed away, slowly. I knew being near a
sleeping vampire was dangerous. In their sleep they could still kil
to protect themselves. I dashed out of the room as soon as I could find the door, shutting it
tightly behind me. Then I turned and ran back to my room. Once there I dove into the bed,
trembling. Let sleeping vampires lie, that was the best motto. I snugg
ed deep under the covers and closed my eyes, willing myself to sleep.

"Nothing much." said Louis. I responded with sarcasm: "Oh come now. You returned to Lestat,
and what of Claudia? Where did she come from?" She was destroyed! I looked to him,
searching his mind for answers. Then all hell broke loose. People running
screaming at each other, things being thrown. A gun shot, and I sensed that one mortal had left
us. A new presence, laughter, all the lights went out, glass breaking, and then everything
suddenly went quiet. I turned and headed back to the stairway an
up the steps, motioning for Louis to follow.

Dawn was breaking as I came out into the street with my precious mortal burden, and we were
met by the other lovely girl.....Lily. I felt my strength rise as she looked upon me, returning
nearly to myself again. She did not yet understand but accepted i
easily without explanation. What splendid women we Mayfairs were! I spoke to her as I
watched her put Nat into the car that waited, and wondered what I should do for them now.
"Enchante, Lily dearest. I am Stella Mayfair..." I desperately did not want
to go back into darkness and nothing, and I happily begged to stay with Lily, feeling wondrously
alive again. Such a catastrophe this evening had become so quickly, and I'd only wanted to have
a little fun tonight. I had not a clue where to take the poo
girl, though as I gave it some thought, I decided upon the perfect place! "Please sir, deliver us
to First Street". I said to our driver and to Lily, "We shall go to my house, and there we will have
a wonderful time!" The old house laid in ruins and d
rmant for many years since Michael and Rowan had last inhabited it, and parts of it had never
been fuly restored, so I was certain that it's current owner wouldn't mind one bit if I took it upon
myself to restore it again. The car sped along, with Lily f
ssing over Nat, who would certainly be upset to see she had accomplished nothing tonight. But I
was sure that she would wish to return, and when she did, she would have dear Stella to watch
over her again.

My eyes had been fixed on this mortal woman running through the streets and when she was
grabbed from behind and lifted into the air, I naturally took flight myself. It ws Pandora, my
ancient angel. I had no idea what was going on and she had picked her
up in such a manner that I didn't want to infringe on their minds, so I followed and kept MY
mind closed. We eventually stopped someplace, I am so unfamiliar with this area that it held no
location in my memory. They stole away inside and waited for Pan
ora to come out. I still wanted to know what was going on with this mortal, so when I saw
Pandora depart I remained hidden. I investigated this old building and found a small way inside.
Soon the house was flooded in music, voice and piano. I opened m
mind to its lucious grasp and followed it into the room. The mortal woman was passionate
about the music and it had taken over her. The building was dark and not even a strand of
moonlight snuck in, so I felt very safe here. The music was like a drug
nd I soon fell prey to its melodious force. I had lowered myself into a nearby sofa and fell
asleep.

I felt the soft touch of a woman's hands, and knew that it was Pandora who held me and coaxed
me inside. She took me upstairs, helping to keep my already cold skin as warm as she could.
Her words were more of a comfort than she knew...she loved me and w
uld always care for me.....and that is all I really needed in this lifetime. How sweet she was that
she always brings gifts to please me, and she'd promised to come again tomorrow night. But I
knew I should say something...anything to let her know how I
was feeling. "Pandora, I do not begrudge you anything that has happened tonight. I know that
you do what you must to hold us together, and I admire your strength and determination." It was
true, and so much more than I could express. I began to feel a
little better, though still plagued by my broken promises....but I hadn't known then what I had
gotten myself in to. Poor Dierdre was so bereft over them taking her baby girl away, and she
only wanted to make sure that it wouldn't happen again. There we
e footsteps in the hallway and I raised my head to see my father, soaking wet and looking as if
he'd had better nights. The sight of him was almost amusing, though I held my laughter, afraid
he would misinterpret my meaning. I didn't hold him anymore re
ponsible than Pandora, though still angry with him for his harsh wit. But as he spoke, I found a
hope rising, as he said that Nat had gone from this house still alive. I was amazed at this, and
almost thought to call him a liar, but something in his exp
ession told me that it was true. It was disappointment, that's what it was. He was sorry to say
that she was not dead, though I didn't care. He bid me good day as he went on, though I called
out to him after he'd stepped from my room, bringing him back
for a moment. "I love you, my father, always know that. You are just the most insufferable
crature at times" I couldn't keep the smile from my face this time, and he knew that I only
played. We were so alike in our ways that when we challenged one anot
er we were both certain to lose.

Pandora entered. I just stood staring blankly around in the room. What the hell had just
happened? I was going to kill her, I was almost done... I was so sure nothing could stop me now,
and there had been something knocking me away from her. A laughter in
the room. A lights had been blown out. And now Nat and the one, the thing, whatever it was
which had helpt her, gone. Disappeard into nothing. I couldn't understand what I just had
experianced. And it all made me furious. I was not scared, only furious.
had tried, and I had failed, twice. I wanted to run out, after the one, whatever it was, and find it,
and kill it.. But Pandora started to speak, getting my thoughts over to other things. "Lestat, your
belove mortal is safe. But I fear Claudia may be hea
tbroken by what has happened.She needs you now.
Where are Louis and Armand? It is almost dawn, I am going and will be back in the evening to
take you to Christine.You all
will safe, I will send over my gaurds to watch over this household." She gave me a kiss, and
when she had left, I slowly shaked my head. She was right, the dawn would be here any minute.
Yeah, were was Armand and Louis? Good question, actually, had they n
t noticed anything of this? Or maybe they were buisy with something else. I felt a sting of
jeolusity. No, I would not think like that. I walked over to Claudia's room, and found here there.
I walked over to her, kneeling beside her. "Claudia, are you all
right?" I caressed her soft hair insecured, though I supposed she still was mad with me. "Don't
feel angry over what has happened tonight. A lot has been wrong, I know, but if it can make you
feel better, ma chére, Nat has been brought away from here, ali
e." I gave her a hug. "Dawn will be here any moment, so I shall leave you alone now." I wanted
to tell her more, how much I loved her, how much I hated to see her like this, but I found it
practical impossible to find the words, so I got up on my feets, a
d started to walk out. And maybe, as usual, all she wanted was loneliness.

My phone only had to ring once before I was on it, hearing the words "Christine's getting away.
Follow her in the car." I had my hand on the key, ready to turn it, when I saw a female grab
Christine around the waist and take to the sky with her in her arm
! Incredible! I didn't know much about vampires, but I could tell that this must have been an
elder, more powerful one. I watched them fly off somewhere, and knew that it was futile to start
the engine now. But where was my cousin? She should have gotten
ut by now if Christine had left, I thought. So I got out of the car, fixing my gun so that it's access
was easy, and moved closer to the townhouse. I stood there for a second, listening for any sort of
sign that Nat wasn't safe, but heard nothing. Instead
I saw the spirit dragging Nat out through the door! "My God! Nat!" I whispered panickingly, as I
ran over to the two forms moving sluggishly down the walkway. "What happened? Are you
badly hurt?" I asked in rapid fire manner. "Let's get her to the car,"
said to the spirit, who somehow seemed more familiar looking now that I had a better glimpse
of her...

I had recently woken from going underground, just for a couple of years, but it was such a releif
to be able to do such thing after all of the years I could not for the sake of the mother and the
father. Something was going on at Lestat's townhouse. Might
as well find out what. I dressed in a fine pair of silk dress pants, white collarless shirt and a
black silk vest and headed out.
When I arrived at the townhouse I was surprised to find the door unlocked. Inside, the house was
silent as a tomb. What was going on here? I set about looking for it's inhabitants. I could sense
that Armand and Louis were not far, nor was Lestat. They wer
here. I just had to find them.

Claudia stood outside, head down. Drenched to the bone from the storm rageing only around this
house.Taking her hand and leading her inside,I felt so much anger at this Talamasca. They
destroy everything they pursue and cause nothing but pain and sorrow.V
mpires are killers, yes, but few of us toy with our victims in a way that effects all those around
them.After taking her silently up to her room,I knelt, hugging her "Claudia, I love you. I have
loved very few in my time, which gives you the advantage. I
ill do anything to assure your saftey and happiness. I have a gift for you, tomorrow evening, I
promise, we will continue our talk and I will give to you this gift.There are things you must
know, things Lestat has never told you. You will understand all b
fore the night is ended."Leaving her to get changed, I made a survey of the house. Lestat was in
the guest room, looking dazed. The room was a torrent of shatered glass, furniture and the rain
came in the broken window."Lestat"I said quietly,"Your belove
mortal is safe. But I fear Claudia may be heartbroken by what has happened.She needs you now.
Where are Louis and Armand? It is almost dawn, I am going and will be back in the evening to
take you to Christine.You all will safe, I will send over my gaurds
to watch over this household."I kissed him softly on the mouth and left the room.I felt drained, I
had not fed, yet I could go for weeks, no months, I did not need the blood now as I did when I
was young.In my flat, I drew all the curtains and turned on t
e elctric lights, marvelous invention this electricity. The one modern convienance I could never
do without.The phone rang four times and Izu answered with a groggy voice"Yes Pandora"."We
have a white elephant". I gave him instructions,using the codes wor
ed out for this very thing.He asssured me that all would be taken care of, ten men would be
posted at the townhouse of Lestat, Louis, and Claudia throughout the day and for as long as I
needed them. In return I would assure their saftey from any vampiric
ttacks and pad their accounts with a little green. These mortals were trusted without question by
me, in part because the small amounts of my blood that I gave them assured me of their loyalty.
Our blood seemed to cause a bit of an addiction, more than an
narcotic ever could.This night had been insane. I had not seen this much upheavel since the
Gathering, and I hoped it was ended. I didn't know where Nat was, dead I hoped, but
doubtful.Something about her struck me, as if I knew her, and I believed that
eep inside of herself she was not bad, she was only confused. A visit to the Motherhouse was in
order, and if some had to die for me to make my point, so be it!The help I needed was in
Santino, yet his wherabouts are unknown to me. The sun was coming and
the death sleep came over me quickly.I grabbed the remote control that would activate the 12
inch thick metal doors and window converings, I pressed the controls, listening to the soft
clicking and whirring noises, then I was sealed in the tomb I had made
for myself. No one could penetrate this fortress.I slept, my last thoughts being of Claudia and
Marius.

Pandora's voice cut short suddenly, and before I could realize what had upset her so, she had
taken to the sky with me in her arms. The weight of the winds pulled at my tiny body, leaving
me disillusionned and lifeless. I'd never experienced such a forc
, and was helpless as she set me to the ground once more. Shaking my head to clear the
confused thoughts from them, she was gone into the house before I could think to stop her. I
stood at the threshold, unable to force myself to go in. If only I hadn'
promised Dierdre.....Pandora's voice could be heard from where I stood...threatening Nat's life
that I had so desperately tried to protect. Never had I met such a headstrong woman in all my
life! She would not heed my warnings for her to not give Lesta
the opportunity she now presented. There was nothing I could do for her now, and I bowed my
head, silently asking forgiveness from my fair Mayfairs. A crash of thunder rang out, and the
rains came in waves to the ground, and yet I could not go in. If
entered that house then I would have to defend her, and Pandora was right....that Mayfair was
disloyal to even her own family and was a danger to us all. I stood shivering, alone in the
street....and finally defeated.

As Nat and I stole inside, I was immediately distracted myself to the vision of this blond man.
How beautiful....like my Lasher....and my unruly spirit lost all track of it's coherent thought. He
studied my closely as I tried to confuse his thoughts, aw
y from Natalie and away from her captive. He was a powerful entity in his own right, though his
appetite for pleasure was his undoing. Unable to resist a beautiful woman's charms.
Unfourtunately, our interlude was abruptly broken by the sound of Nat ca
ling my name. The blond vampire was up the stairs towards her voice in hearbeat with dear
Stella at his heels. Halfway up the staircase I began to see my legs disappear from beneath my
dress....her mind was fading, and with it went me. I was nearly lit
le more than a silouette of my body by the time I caught up to him...helpless. He was draining
her of her precious blood and my fury knew no bounds. Hurling objects at him at unhuman
strength, while the rains began to violently come down. Pieces of the
open window shattered with the anger of my spirits and he was, for a moment, kncoked from his
victim. A now darkened house of no light, candles blown and gone from their post of
illuminating the room. Drenched and livid with anger, his eyes stole around t
e room, searching for the source. He moved away from her, searching for me, and the
amusement of it all hit me as I heard my laughter ringing out throughout the room. Nat groaned,
coming to a little, enough that I could see my white hands again. I move
to her with the angry winds, lifting her heavy mortal form as the vampire spun around to lunge
aimlessly at me as we faded into the darkness and out into the stormy night.

*Lestat, I'm going to climb down into the courtyard and run from the house. I'll come back later
if you want me to, or you can find me. I'll leave my mind open for you.* Was she crazy? If she
ran out now, the other's from Talamasca could take her so easil
. I rushed down and out on the courtyard, I was going to follow after her, but once again she
spoke to me, this time she sounded very calm. *Lestat, don't worry about me, Pandora's got me
somewhere safe....* I slowed down. If Pandora had taken care of thi
, it was no problem anymore. I had no idea were they were now, but I trusted her completly, and
if she had decided that Talamasca would not get Christine, she would be absolute safe from
them. *Thank you Pandora. I don't even want to think about what woul
happen if you hadn't been around.* I send out to her, starting to make my way back into the
townhouse, and up the stairs, finding Nat on the floor in the guestroom. At the first sight she
seemed to be unconscious, but then she moved, and groaned loudly.
omeone, probably Pandora, had hurted her bad. I moved closer to her, bending over her.
"Claudia kept me away from killing you when I should have done that. It would have saved us a
lot of troubles, but you didn't die then, as you should have. And you didn
t take your precious life and run away." I dragged her up, not caring if I was hurting her more.
"You had your chance, cherie,but you didn't take it. Not even Claudia can blame me or stop me
now, from finish what I started then. I'm glad to see how little
your life means to you, though this will be your death. Enjoy it, because you have deserved it,
every singel moment of it!" I pulled her close to once more sank my fangs in her neck.

Pandora had shown me where I could sleep, gave me instructions, everything I needed. She told
me how I was a danger to those she cared for, and she was right, I was. I stripped again, crawling
into bed after locating the gun and checking it out. I laid on
my side, feeling that tingle on the back of my neck still. That *other* - had he or she followed
Pandora and I? The tingle was still weak, like if this presence was far away but had set his or her
sites on me. I couldn't sleep for the guilt eatting at my
ut. "I'm nothing but trouble," I grumbled to myself. "I don't want these powers, but I don't want to
be a vampire either. I just want to be normal." I looked towards the ceiling and screamed. "Do
you hear me God? Normal! I want to be normal! But you could
't allow that. You had to make me a *freak*! Thanks for nothing, God!" I got out of bed,
prowling this place. Music, books, Pandora had to have one of these things. I came to a piano,
thank God - Yeah, right, like God cared. I sat down at it and started t
play, angry at first. Just the first thing that allowed me to vent. "Be On Your Own" from Maury
Yeston's NINE. After I had finished with it I felt better, as if relieved from a burden. I ran thru
the songs I knew - almost all were show tunes of some sort
or another. There was that new one, Titanic, but very few of the songs were solos except for the
men's songs, there was Still, but I needed a man to do Isidor Straus' part - so that was out. Maybe
Unexpected Song from Song & Dance? Nah, I wasn't in the mo
d for love songs. There had to be something? I let my fingers wander until they started to play
The King Of Thule, I sang along with the song from Gounod's Faust, then into the Jewel Song.
These were my all-time favorites. My stand-bys. My french, I'm sur
, was far from perfect, but when I was really stressed or really lonely I played and sang these.
After this I felt like love songs and went into the sad tune Make Up My Heart from The New
Starlight Express. Then Cheek To Cheek - "Heaven, I'm in Heaven, an
my heart beats so that I can hardly speak...." God, I love music. It is my passion, my life-blood.
My food, meat, and drink. If only I didn't have these powers so I could sing for a living....

let Lestat know where you are. You have all you need here. Food and clothing, take what you
need or want.One of us will be back for you tomorrow evening.There is a pistol in the desk and a

the outside and headed back to Claudia.

As I dashed down the street I felt something grab me. I was in the air then. I wrapped my arms
around the vampire - Pandora from the feel of her power and her female form. But I kept my

around where we were at. That's when I felt something. That tingle at the back of my neck that
only ment one thing. I looked towards Pandora. It could be becaus
she was here. Then again.... it could be the presence of another of her kind. I wouldn't be sure
until the tingle grew stronger. *Lestat,* I sent out, *Don't worry about me, Pandora's got me

I saw the woman pick the little girls up and bolt back where they'd come. I realized this was a
vampire and one I had assisted in the past. Pandora, and the rag doll in her arms? I kept up the
pace and followed them to an old house. A coven? I stood
ack and watched everything unfold. Pandora put the child down, shouting..."Lestat! Quickly!
Go to Christine now!" Lestat's place. I should've guessed he'd fit in somewhere. I leaned
against a tree and noticed a woman shimmying down a trellis into th
courtyard below, she climed over the fence and ran away. Was she running from Pandora? I
think I'll just keep an eye on you, my little philly. I kept at a safe distance and kept her in
check.

Nat looked at me in amazement. She had no where to run, and my patience was at the end.
Christine was just coming down the stairs and at the sight of Nat, flew into her room, bolting the
door. The mortal was right behind her, using her telepathy to open t
e door, bending the lock outwards as the force of her mind hit it full scale.I kicked in the door,
and it flew, along with the furniture piled in front of it. Christine had climbed out the window,
and I stood facing this puppet of the Talamasca. She was s
ared, with good reason. Screaming for help from some unseen force, she leveled her weapon on
it's target...me! I laughed as she pulled the trigger an instant too late. In an instant I was behind
her, hitting her hard enough to knock her across the room, w
ere she hit the wall and slid down with a loud dull thump. The gun flew from her hand and I
grabbed it as I ran to the window and disapeared. I did not know how badly I had hurt her, I only
hoped it was fatal. Swooping down, I grabbed Christine as she ran
into the street and we flew through the balmy night air to a safer place. One the Talamasca
would never learn of.

"Mortal! Stop now or you will die. You were offered safe passage from this house, and you

said would stop her in her tracks. I heard a noise upstairs and turned. Christine stared back and
then disappeared behind the door. I ran after her, ignoring
my pursuer as I pushed open the door, and then slammed it closed with my mental powers. I
rearanged the room in an instant, throwing every single heavy object against the portal even as
my victim escaped. Fuck! I saw her climb out the window and I knew
that this was were my chase had ended. I grabbed the cell and contacted Lily "Christine's getting
away. Follow her in the car." Damn! This was my only chance and that vampire bitch just
ruined it. I only hoped Lily got to Christine before these vampi
es. I heard a crash behind me as the dresser and bed flew from the door and I stared at my
executioner. "Stella!" I screamed and prayed that she could do something to save me. I needed
to buy her some time. I grabbed the Magnum and pointed it at her.
Sure, I knew that this insignificant weapon would barely harm them. But would she dare. I
pointed it at her and pulled the trigger.

manipulate objects the way she could. I dashed into the guestroom and locked the door. Then I
threw my clothes on, this time not taking the time to make my bed
or anything. I was sure the others would understand. I ran to the window and looked out, good, I
could climb down. *Lestat, I'm going to climb down into the courtyard and run from the house.
I'll come back later if you want me to, or you can find me. I'll
leave my mind open for you.* With that I started my desent. My feet hit the courtyard and I was
off. Climbing over the fence so I could cut thru another courtyard. Soon, I was out in the street.
God, would I never stop running?

"Claudia, I am sorry! I didn't mean to go so fast!" I slowed my pace, stopping next to an aging
brick wall covered in moss. We were at the corner of St. Ann and Royal, far enough I thought to
be out of range of probing minds."Claudia, my dear, I must tel
you things. First I must express to you the danger this Nat presents to all of us, she is controlled
by the Talamasca and has no loyalty to her family nor to any one, she only serves them, and she
will bring terrible suffering upon your family if she is
ot stopped now. How much do you honor this bond? Is it worth losing all you love and care for?
The decision must be yours, I will not cross you, but I also will not stand by while those I too
care for are destroyed by this evil we call the Talamasca." Lea
ing down, caressing the softness of her cheek, feeling an incredible amount of love for this
woman trapped in a childs body, I spoke."I have a gift for you my sweet, a most precious gift..."
as I spoke the knowing hit me, Nat was in the house, danger!I br
ke off my sentance, sensing myself ready to panic."We must go now!" I picked Claudia up and
flew in an instant down Royal St., landing on the steps of the townhouse. Using all my mental
powers, I called out into the night, hoping to summan any other immor
als of our clan.Setting Claudia down, running up the stairs to the main room I shouted "Lestat!
Quickly! Go to Christine now!" I did not look around to see who was in the room, only kept
going to the stairwell. Reaching the stairs leading up to the guest
oom, there was Nat."Mortal! Stop now or you will die. You were offered safe passage from this
house, and you disrespect the wishes of those who inhabit it."

Nat said no, that she didn't want me involved in this- it was her assignment. I understood what
she was saying. Hell, if it had been me, I might have felt that way, too. And I might not want my
own cousin wrapped up in it, either. So I sat back in my seat
and silently nodded to her. But when I looked up, I noticed that she wasn't looking at me
anymore, but at some object in front of the car. I quickly moved my gaze to the front windshield,
and saw what was no doubt a ghost! Now I knew spirits- I mean, the
alamasca accepted me mainly for my power to see them, but this one had strength that I'd never
seen in a ghost! She was like that damned Lasher that I always heard of but never saw, and she
was speaking to Nat! I'm sure I gasped, because Nat quickly looke
over at me. She then leaned back down, and said that she had an idea, and that I should keep the
cell phone nearby. "Okay," I said, the words barely audible even to me, as I watched her and the
spirit move back towards the house.

This was one thing I hated about sleeping - waking up. My bladder was forcing me out of bed. I
got out and stumbled to the bathroom to do my buisness, locking the door behind me just in
case. Vampires or not, I still wanted to retain my modesty. I relized
after I was finished and washing my hands that I was terribly thristy. I wondered if Lestat had
any glasses in his kitchen - if they even had a kitchen. I just couldn't bring myself to drink from
the faucet like this. Mrs. Holmes didn't raise her daughter
to do such things. So I got out and started heading down the stairs.

I felt a cool breeze wash over us as Lily said that she wanted to help. She knew I was weak and
even as I stood there, I could feel a part of me wanting just to lie down and sleep. Nat, get a
hold of yourself! Christine is your major objective now. I
ould still sense her presence in that house, sleeping like a baby. I looked at Lily, "Cousin, I don't
want to drag you in to this. The Talamasca gave me this assignment, and they trusted me with
its completion. So very few Mayfair are in their service.
If I were to lose you... I don't care what happens to me. I serve the motherhouse because they
gave me my life. I could deal with dying, but you... Please think about what you've said." I
paused, tears wanting to spring at any moment. Lily was the
nly family I had. If I lost her just like those ignorant agents... I turned away from her and faced
the gentle breeze. I noticed that Claudia and her companion had left. That meant that their were
still three vampires left in the house, including the
ne who had attacked me. My powers worked only to an extent and I feared that I wouldn't be
able to do it alone. But I didn't want to implicate Lily. Then I felt different and I blinked. I
stared into a woman's ageless eyes, her being slowly materialis
ng right before our eyes. I heard Lily gasp, and I knew that someone ancient stood before me. I
had seen her face before, knew what had befallen this Mayfair, my darling ancestor Stella.
Could this be possible? I reached out to touch her, but then she
made a comment, saying that the blond-haired man was distracted by none other than her. Even
then I could sense his startled gaze. Perfect! With him out of they way, it left only two and I
knew I could sneak by them. "Lily," I whispered, "I have an id
a. I might need you, so be ready when you here my call. I may be able to get Christine after all."
I gripped my gun and removed the safety's, hiding the weapon underneath my blouse. I kissed
Stella's cheek and walked back into the house. "Hello," I w
ispered, "I forgot my phone." No one answered. I walked over to the couch were I'd left it and
also hid it in the back pocket of my jeans. Now how was I going to drag Christine down here
without her screaming. I looked around the room and found a rose
flowered scarf. There's nothing better than keeping one's victim quiet. I slowly creeped up the
stairs.

been so excitable about being seen again that I'd hardley giv

I floated outof my body and began circling the city searching for someone who needed my help.
So many sick people in this century. So many deadly diseases. On Decatur Street alone, I found
four people in the sruggle of pain. Two of their own choosing.
One, Cynthia, was wasting away to nothing. Her mind telling her she was too fat and would
never be beautiful if she didn't lose a few extra pounds. Now she weighed 97 lbs and the bones
protruding from her back reminded me of the beginnings of wings, tr
ing t sprout out and take flight. I couldn't help this woman. The other who yearned for death,
Abel, called so loud. His inner voice screaming for release from it's prison. I came back to my
senses and made my way out of the hotel. The sounds of the
ity echoed thorugh my brain and then in the distance I saw an interesting sight, this late at night.
A mother and child out walking in the streets. They didn't look like the many homeless that
wander from box to box. Changing directions, I followed and
kept track of them.

Pandora and I were walking away from it all, and I, for one, was happy to be done with my
precious burden. Natalie was determined to see her mission a fait accompli, and little I could do
would change her mind. She'd been warned by Pandora, and I'd spok
n to Lestat on the matter, though I knew my pleas meant little in the wake of his temper.
Pandora walked quickly, saying she wished to speak to me, though slowing a little as she noticed
that I silently struggled to keep my tiny steps with hers. It was
ot like me to complain, though I appreciated her gesture just the same. It seemed she knew
where she desired to go and I followed, trusting her as I trusted precious few. How like her I
wished to be....she was a truly a magnificent woman. So ancient an
strong...and so beautiful. She commanded my attention by her very nature, and I listened
intently as she spoke, my mind only briefly wandering to thoughts of how lovely it was to be
with her again. Her adventurous spirit, her fear of nothing, and her

I was dreaming again. I knew I was dreaming because everything had that dream-like quality. I
was with my family. Ashley and Branden were chasing the dog, trying to catch her to hitch her
up to the wagon to pull them. Lauren was just starting to walk, her
little chubby baby-legs propelling her awkwardly around. Mark picked her up and swung her
around. Mom and dad were setting up the food for a picnic. My other brothers were sleeping,
resting up to pig out. Good old Todd and Paul. Then I could feel someone
ehind me. At first I thought it was the Talamasca, but then a hand rested on my shoulder and lips
nuzzled my ear. "Beautiful family, chere." Lestat said, trailing his lips downwards. I leaned back
against him, letting him hold me as he buried his face in
y neck. I could "feel" another pair of lips at my wrist and glancing over I saw that other vampire
that came in when I was asleep. I closed my eyes savoring the moment. When I opened them
again I was staring at the ceiling of the guestroom. "Damn it," I g
umbled, before rolling over to go back to sleep.

Nat had come up to the car and opened the passenger door, but she didn't get in. Instead, she
started telling me that she wouldn't leave Christine there, not when Christine was so important to
the Talamasca. I tried to tell her that she was too weak to co
tinue this tonight, but she wouldn't listen to me. What a shocker- Nat being headstrong. I knew
this was important to her- I really did. I mean, it was her first big assignment, and she didn't want
it screwed up. So I did the only thing I could think of-
offer to help her. "Nat," I said, "I'll help you get Christine back to the Motherhouse if you want
me to. Because you're really not in the best shape to do this yourself- I can see that clearly, and
it's dark out. So, if you need someone to be your assist

easons for declining Pandora's invitation. I watched as the two of them walked out, taking Nat
with them- hopefully to the car I saw parked across the street. I knew there was a motherhouse in
New Orleans, and that the Talamasca should have gotten here by
now. But I only saw one figure sitting in the car. Interesting, I thought the Talamasca always sent
out several agents at a time when in the presence of deadly creatures such as ourselves. But I let
it drop, assuming that I could have been wrong. The next
thing I knew, Armand had put his arm around me, asking what I had been up to lately. "Nothing
much," I responded. "How are you doing?" It had been awhile since I'd seen him this sociable,
and I must admit that I found it somewhat charming, thought I'd nev
r let him know it...

Claudia took my hand as Nat walked out the door on her own. She certainly didn't take my
warning to heart. Something was up with this one, I didn't trust her. She is dangerous, extremely
dangerous.And if it weren't for Claudia, this mortal would dead. Les
at must sense this too, his venom for this mortal is palpable. Christine had gone up to bed, and I
worried for her. I thought perhaps she should have a weapon with her, Lestat can not protect her
during the day, and this child is in danger.Claudia and I w
lked downstairs and out into the blackness.Nat sat in a car across the street, with her help mate,
and another entity was close by them. Ghosts! Oh how marvelous! These Mayfares are just full
of tricks tonight. I knew exactly what I had to do.**"Claudia,
ets walk, quickly. I need to speak with you, but not here"** I sent Lestat a thought" Be on guard
my friend, something wicked this way comes!".

I watched in silence as the two Mayfair girls exchanged words over another. "Besides..I am
Mayfair,too...I have mischief written all over my face." And so she was, and this was
important to her, and I would do whatever I could to help. I approac
ed her thoughtfully, watching as her eyes fell upon me. She was indeed a Mayfair of power, and
her visions began to understand what it was she saw before her. How did I look to her? Would
she know me? "Natalie..." I called to her, my voice sounding st
ange to me, having not actually heard it in so very long. "I am Stella...Stella Mayfair, perhaps
you know me? I would be your....well, it doesn't matter. I may be able to help you if you will let
me." In all honesty I had know way of knowing what relatio
I was to her, for my own brother had been my daughter's father, and my own father, my great
uncle. I reached one hand out to her, moving my fingers unconsciously in my facination with
the look of them, moving, as if I were real.

Louis declined Pandora's offer, as I knew he would, though I couldn't keep the secret smile
between us from becoming known to everyone around. I winked at him in the most flirtatious
fashion as Pandora spoke in my defense to Natalie. It seemed in that m
ment all our well drawn plans fell as Natalie escourted herself outside. Well, at least she had
gone unharmed, and though ungrateful, she would one day know the great service I had done
her, for one night she would find Lestat...or rather he would find h
r....when I would not be there to protect her. The mock bow from Armand was the undoing of
my frustration, and I reached for Pandora's hand, anxious to be gone from his presence. Once I
had drawn the blood I needed dearly, then perhaps I would be of a
better mood to deal with him.

I love these modern times. Phones, computers and online services, fax machines. So much info
can be sent so fast. With the click of a button I can find out what's going on halfway around the
world. It's a wonderful thing. And so much more can be done with
it. Picking up the phone I spoke into it. Within a few moments I was connected to a phone way
out in California, America. A woman, her voice weak, answered. "Hello, Mrs. Holmes," I said,
softly, savoring this. The woman was dying for greif for her way-war
daughter. "Remember me?" A soft yes, choaking back a sob. Wonderful. I switched on the
recording machine. "Has your daughter contacted you, Mrs. Holmes?" "No." "Really, that's too
bad, considering your health...." It went on like that. Me recording the v
ice of a dying woman. Until her husband angrily took the phone from her. "It's your fault my
wife is dying! You should have left our little girl alone!" Then he hung up. Pity, I'll have to have
that part cut out before I send it to the New Orleans Motherh
use. That's the last place I had heard Christine was at. And maybe if she heard this tape.... I
chuckled to myself and stood. Working for the Talamasca had made me a very rich man. I had it
all. All it took was the selling of a painting here, the pawning
f some jewelery there. Who cared if it was from the house of a vampire or a witch? That wasn't
imporant, money was. And so was power. And while embezzlment will bring me money, it's
Christine that can bring me power. Power over them all. Vampires, Taltos,
witches, they'd tremble in fear once they realized the power this mortal could bring me. Yes.
Power. Sweet, sweet power....

existence. My loyalty belonged to the Talamasca, and I obeyed only them. I would keep their
secret safe only because it was in the motherhouse's interest to keep
t quiet. I smiled sweetly at the woman. If only she knew what I had in store for them all. Lily
was waiting for me outside and I really didn't want to expose her to these vampires, but I couldn't
leave without Christine. "My ride just came, so as much
s your offer apealed to me, no thanks." I nodded at the vampire child called Claudia and then I
glanced at the staircase. I could be rash again and attempt to run up to Chris' room, but they
were vampires, and my courage went only so far. I grabbed my g

door and stepped over to the black Mercedes, opening the door, but not getting in. "Lily, I can't
leave. Christine is still up in that forsaken coven of vampires
I can't just leave her. She is a valuable asset to the Talamasca." She argued with me and
reminded me of my lack of blood. I took her hand and squeezed it tightly as I noticed her
concern. "Don't worry about me cuz, I'll be all right. Besides, I'm
Mayfair too, and we both know I have mischief written right across my forehead. I will get

long had it been...I'd lost track of the time....since I had been to this house. I drifted back in time
momentarily to decadence of the age.....the music playing
mortals dancing, the room alive with the high society of New Orleans. It was then that I had
first met Lestat, unknowing then of what I know now. I loved everything of the spirit world as a
mortal witch, never once expecting that I should follow Lasher
into it at my death. Fair Natalie appeared, and such a Mayfair she was that I could feel her
visions as I strengthened more, my pale skin coming alive with the sheen of a human again.

Tempted as I was to criticize Lestat right then and there for allowing one of the Talamasca into
his home, but it was his home and he was free to do with it what he chose. Well, at least Claudia
and Pandora were going to take care of that foolish mortal.
I bowed to them as they prepared to leave. The other mortal, the beautiful Christine, practically
crawled up the stairs after being awoken by Lestat; I made a mental note to pull him aside and
find out who this pretty was. But first, Louis. Behaving j
st as mortal as ever. There's nothing like a sensitive vampire. I put my arm around his back,
squeezed his shoulder, and said "Ah, Louis. It is good to see you. What have you been up to

Of course I understood that Claudia felt a closeness with Nat. I only wish Lestat could
understand. He has Christine. But fairness in thinking has never been one of Lestat's greater
virtues. Claudia and Louis have sacrificed a great many things for Lestat
s benefit over the years, yet he has failed to see this, or at least to recognize it. Claudia agreed to
hunt, though dear Louis declined, as I expected him to. He never was one to enjoy dinner
company. "Louis, the invitation is extended always for you, pe
haps another time?" Though I knew he never would accept the invitation.Nat had finished her
phone call, and it was agreed that Claudia and I would see her saftly from this house. Personally,
I would have drained her of all life, but for Claudia I would re
rian. Claudia is not an ignorant creature, and I trusted her judgement, and respected her resolve.I
walked to Nat, extending my hand to her"We should leave now, you will be safe with us. But

Do not tell the Motherhouse, do not tell your co conspirators, do not even tell your dog or cat.

I watched as Armand walked through the entryway, and knelt before Claudia in an almost
taunting manner. I felt her grip tighten on my hand, and wittnessed some sort of telepathic
conversation between the two of them. To say that I was surprised by Armand'
actions would have been an understatement, but I supposed that he did always like to torment
Claudia. That was one thing I never truly forgave him for... But she started off in the other
direction, leading me away with her. We didn't get too far when Pan
ora stopped us, asking if Claudia and I would like to feed with her that evening. I knew Claudia
enjoyed Pandora's company, and it was quite alright if she left to dine with her, but I still
couldn't handle feeding in front of other immortals, and I knew
hat Claudia understood this. So I knelt down to Claudia's level, and said "You can go if you
wish. I'll see you when you get back?" I also looked up at Pandora, letting her know that my
declining had nothing to do with not wanting to be in her company, an
that I hoped she understood...

Lestat had woken me up, mentioned a real bed and that Nat was leaving. But all I could do was
stare at him. I reached out and traced his lips with a finger tip. I wanted to kiss those lips. I
wanted to feel them against mine, then against a pulsing vein.
wanted.... Oh God, I wanted to die because of those lips, those eyes. I was completely
enthralled. Before I made a fool of myself I broke away and groggily stood. "Thank you, Lestat."
I looked with sleep-clouded eyes at the others, nodding briefly to the

up and wake me again if you'd like....* I climbed the stairs in that sleepy mortal way and got

a very overdone guesture, and said with cold ironi "Sounds perfect to me, mademoiselle.
Whatever you wish." I paused for a second. "And... good luck." I
turned my back to her for the second time this evening, and walked over to Christine, still
asleep. I shaked her easily. "Christine.." She woked slowly up, looking very confused. "If you
feel tired maybe you should go get some sleep in a real bed." I stro
e away a strand of hair which fell into her eyes. *And don't worry about Nat. She'll be fine soon,
Claudia and Pandora are bringing her home.* Actually I had no idea where they were taking her.

Lestat was pointing at Natalie, saying she would going, and indeed, it seemed to coincide quite
well with Pandora's suggestion that I see her safely away. I took up Pandora's hand, telling her
as I did, "I should love to go out with you this evening, Pan
ora dearest, and I thank you so much for understanding." I said this as much to her as to Lestat,
chiding him for *not* understanding. She knew my meaning, and we would quickly be away
with Natalie. It was plainly obvious that Pandora and I shared a dis
ike for mortal creatures among our lives, though I respected that she understood this one was
different to me. I turned coldly to face Lestat, his earlier words still stinging like the lash of a
whip. "She will be going, monsieur, I assure you. And she
will be going *unharmed* with Pandora and I. I have no wish to listen to your inevitable
protests, so I shall be solely responsible for her actions." I knew I pledged more than I could
promise, though I would not let Lestat see the doubts that I had. P
ndora thought of speaking to the Motherhouse herself, an idea that intrigued me greatly, and
even, perhaps, I could persuade them to release my things to me once and for all.

kneeling before Claudia. Pandora made a comment of human sacrifice, something I couldn't
help but smile at. I walked over to Armand, who wanted some *explainations*. "This is

She's staying with us for a while, it seems like." Seems like? I knew I would not let her go, at
least not yet. "And the other one in there", I nodded against Nat, who was taking care of some
phone calls. Could Armand see how I disliked that woman. "She's
Nat. Once of those Talamasca members. I believe she's leaving." I said, glancing over at Claudia

The clouds slid over the moon, giving the city a wash of grey and silver. A wild gang of boys
were harrassing and old man, who had been playing the violin in front of the cathedral. I
stepped in between the old guy, Matthias, and the young Asian boys fi
t. Frank, the guy who's fist I now grapsed in my hand, looked suprised. His buddies ran off when
they saw me enter the fight. "What are ya gonna do?" Frank muttered. "I just thought it wasn't
right to pick on Matthias here. He's twice your age." I wh
pped his arm behind his back and winking to Matthias, pushed Frank down the street to the river
front. The water lapped against the barrier. I pushed Frank against the railing over looking the
dirty water and pressed my body against his. "Whatya doin?
Hunh? You want me to do soemthing for you? I don't like it, but I can do it." Frank moved his
body around, pushing his backside into my groin. I just laughed. My breath blowing his black
hair away from his neck. "I want you to do something for me, b
t not anything you've ever dreamed of." I looked around the walkway and though I felt the
prescence of several immortals, no meat other than Frank before me. I brushed my left hand
through his hair and over his mouth. The moment my hand met his lips I c
amped hard on his mouth and stabbed my fangs into his neck. His body bucked against me.
Frank didn't want to die. He stopped bucking and was losing consciousness, I pulled out with a
slick slap, licking the wounds closed and let him drop to the concrete
I kneeled before him, he was still alive. I was full on strong New Orleans youth. "You were
lucky this time." I walked back to the square where I found Matthis staring at me as I walked
across the street, he dropped his violin and started running. I
tood in front of him and wiped his memory, placing a hundred in his pocket and walked to the
hotel on Bourbon Street that I had a reservation at.

Armand, a wicked youngster if there was one! He bent to Claudia and gave such a sweet
greeting. Her loathing of him was understandable, but she was just as vicious as he in alot of
ways. Nevertheless, she felt weak around him, which made me angry; that an
immortal could make another immortal feel this. "Armand, my brother, how are you? such a
suprise to see you. Seems we have enough for a coven gathering, but we need a sacrifice for that,
don't we?" I turned to Nat, winking at her,as she finished a call o
one of those modern cellular gizmos, as I said this last sentence. I wasn't serious, of course, but I
could not resist making this mortal intruder just a little bit afraid, since she seemed to be over
confident for one surrounded by Vampires, and what wo
ld seem certain death.**"Claudia,Louis I have not dined this evening, would you care to join
me? Perhaps we can see your charge saftley home, or at least to her car."** I knew she had
another Talamasca contact outside of this house, and I was a little afr
id for Lestat and the rest. Mortals knowing where to find your lair in the light of day was not a
good thing.Perhaps I need to pay a visit to the Motherhouse myself and have a little talk witha
few of the members who insist on searching out immortals, and
have a nasty habit of kidnapping.

Finally, I felt safe. Here in this warm place where the Talamasca couldn't hurt me. Sleep. Blistful
sleep. I could feel the presence of yet another vampire while I was asleep. I could hear him too,
but I just mumbled and curled up tighter into a ball. Sle
ping peacefully. Here in my dreams I was with Lestat. We were dancing. He held me almost too
close, too tight, but I didn't care. I felt like a fairy tale princess here in his arms. He looked so
dashing in his tux. His white skin made whiter by the black
oat and pants. The white silk shirt gleemed and the coat was lined with blood red satin. I was
dressed in a long flowing dark green gown. There was strands of silver threds woven into the
green so it sparkled as he spun me around on the large white dance
loor. Everything was white. It was just him and me, the band somewhere behind the wall. I
looked up at him and he smiled, the tiny fangs showing. Then I felt him kissing me like he did in
front of Nat. When he pulled away his lips were coated in blood. I
ust smiled and pulled him in for a kiss. I continued sleeping peacefully as the dream version of
me danced with a dream version of Lestat.

He fell faster than I expected and I laughed as his eyes grew from one of sheep pleasure to one
of fear as he got closer and closer to the ground. I stayed in his mind the entire trip down. It's
not true what those new age writers say about your life fl
shing before your eyes. Gabriel saw the dinner he ate earlier, the pot he smoked before he dove
into oblivion, and the he thought, "Shit, This was a bad idea." I heard Donna screaming and
cussing and blaming herself. She was looking into the clouds, "I
's not right...God it's not right!" Bobby was staring at the puddle and the reflection of Gabriels'
hurtling body. In an instant, my arms swept out into his path and I grasped him to my chest.
Sweeping back his windblown hair, "My, my you are a daring b
y." I kissed his forehead and his cheeks and his neck. The blood sluicing through his body made
me want to take him right here in this alley, but I took a deep breath and took a small taste of
New Orleans youth. I licked my dirty work, "I am Santino...
'll be here if you need me." And with those words I lay him on the ground and walked
away.

from him. Don't fight me now - we will discuss events...*later*. I nodded my head to
him silently, wondering what tricks he kept hidden behind those ey
s. Looking ever the doll that I was, quiet and staring blanky, tiny rosebud mouth opened still in
my surprise, I felt weaker than him....a fear which only hardened my resolve to discuss
events later. Coldly I looked away from him. taking up my be

dismissed him casually, as was my intention, though suspected he knew that we would meet

I grinned ear to ear, grasped Lestat by both arms, and pulled him to me, hugging him and kissing
him on both cheeks. "Hello Lestat. It's good to see that I can still sneak up on you when you
aren't looking." I held him in my gaze for a moment more, and
then turned to Pandora, bowed for a moment, and then straightened up. "Hello, Pandora - it has
been a long time since these eyes have viewed your beauty." The sadness on her face betrayed
her feelings regarding me - I sensed her mind moved elsewhere for
a few seconds. Louis was watching a mortal speaking with a - what do they call those things? -
portable phone in the other room; I would wait to say hello to him later. And then I saw Claudia.
Per usual, she was hovering near Louis. I decided to put h
r off balance, to do something she would never expect. I got down on my knees, hands on my
upper thighs, and said "Hello little one." And I flashed a thought to her, to see if she ever
developed the power of telepathy, something I never sensed the short
time I met her all those years ago: *Do not fight me now - we will discuss events...later* I
straightened up, looked around, and said, "Would you care to introduce (combined with the
thought *explain*) me to your guests?"

A trio of teens who had silly dreams of becoming members of the fang gang, gawkd at me from
above. Bobby, Donna and Gabriel were smoking a little weed on a
ire escape, their feet dangling over the metal railing. Gabriel was a beauty. The golden curls
surrounding his angelic face, reminded me of the lovely Armand. A look of youthful desire
crowned his face, and the fear embedded in his eyes, when I entered
his thoughts, was exquisite. It took me back 500 years, to the fear in Armands' eyes when I
tossed Marius into the fire and swept Armand to the catacombs. I sent all these thoughts to the
mortal, now standing, on the fire escape. **Come to me and I'll
how you ecstasy you've only read about.** He leaned out over the rail, began to tremble and
almost lost his footing. Gabriel, the archangel, looked as though he would fly over to me.
Bobby began ribbing him about his instant tales of vapires and Donna
oaded him, "Go ahead Gabby, see if your vampiric lover can save you." I looked up once again,
deep into Gabriel's eyes...**Jump. Do it...I'm here to catch you.** He handed back the joint and
began climbing over the rail, his hands grasping the bar behi
d his back. Donna screamed, "Shit Bobby. Gt him...he's gonn do it." She dropped the joint and
Bobby followed it's journey to the ground, watching thier nights fun fall into a puddle. Donna
slapped Bobby on the head. "Ow...Gabby don't do it!" They lu
ged for his wrists, but it was to late. Gabby jumped off the edge in a swan dive to eternity.

I watched through the open door as Pandora gave Lestat a book, and then sat down next to Nat,
making her all the more nervous. There seemed to be quite a bit of commotion in there, so I
approached the threshold slowly. "Hello, Pandora," I said, greeting h
r. "How nice of you to drop by." We really didn't see enough of her, and she only lived a few
blocks away. It was in poor taste of us to do so, I knew, so I made a mental note to fix that.
Suddenly, Nat's phone began to ring, and she didn't seem too happy
with hearing the voice on the other end. Trying to appear nonchalont, I glanced at her, hoping
the call was from someone coming to get her, and *not* someone giving advice on how to run
off with Christine. Plus, Nat really wasn't safe here. I'd seen this
yself when Lestat drank from her, and I didn't want people staying here if they were going to be
in jeopardy. "Is everything alright, Nat?" I asked her softly, seeing that she was beginning to look
better...

Nat didn't like what I had to say to her. I felt her anger directed towards me like daggers. I sat
smiling at her, wondering if she could ever be cured of the Talamasca curse. She certaintly was
an attractive women, and I sensed that Claudia had a liking
or her. Something was up with those two, an unspoken bond, that I didn't think Nat was aware
of...yet.

This place was getting crowded and quickly. Yet another vampire had entered the scene.
Armand. Another child of Marius. I was so tired. Weak feeling. Lestat was marveling over his
gift from Pandora. Louis was in the other room with Nat. Actually, it was p
obably dangerous for me to be alone right now. With all the distractions someone could easily
slip into the room while I was sleeping.... Still, I was so very, very tired. My eyelids started to
droop and I stiffled a yawn. I wanted to sleep, so very, very
badly. As I sat there sleep crept upon me and I laid on my side, curing into a ball without really
realizing it. Before long sleep had taken over.

I walkked through the streets of New Orleans, a cityy of voices. Cries of ecstasy and shouts of
pain. I could feel the prescence of immortals, mortals, spirits and practically everything
supernatural in this city of dead. The mouldering facade of so ma
y houses, made its beauty all the more seductive. I remember the first time I stalked these
streets. The young priest who thought I was an angel come to strike him down, because of his
penchant for little boys. It was true that I rid the city of that b
stard, but it was all for my desires and had nothing to do with the boys that would no longer
serve on the altar. I think of his wretched body, bloodless, swinging from the rafters in the
rectory. The funny thing about his death, was that no one reported
it. He was swept under the rug so to speak. The molester had killed himself, and the boys could
have dreams of being priests again, and be safe. No one brought up the fact that this man had no
blood in his body, they all just accepted he'd hung himself.
I knelt before the church and crossed myself, muttering a dialogue I didn't believe in, but use to
saying by rote. The alleys are the most delicious places to eat, because on any given night you
can find heiress, bum or prostitute. I just wait till I he
r a plea for my works. I leaned against the seaping brick wall, placing my left foot against the
wall, cupping my hands before my mouth as if breathing into them for warmth. I still had the
look of youth. Not the youth of Armand, but certainly not the
ge of Marius. I would wait for the right time, I really didn't need to feed...I was just bored.

I almost contemplated testing the child's promise but a part of me decided that it might come in
handy later. Still, the fact that this immortal would threa
en me, angered me, and all I wanted to do was wipe the smug grin off her face. But what could I
do to spite her? What could I do to any of them in my weakened state. Ohh how this frustrated
me, but at least her rude comment managed to pull me out of th
trance. I had to leave and the thought killed me. The motherhouse would not be pleased and I
only hoped that Lily would get a flat on her way here. The phone rang and I picked it up. So
much for a flat tire. She was waiting for me outside.

Lestat took the book, carressing the leather cover. That is all I needed to know that he
appriciated the gift. A light tapping on the door below, revealed Armand coming to pay a call.
Ah! Someone I had not consulted with since the nasty little inncident w
th Akasha, and seeing him now served to bring back a wash of memories, mostly sad and
disjointed. Turning my thoughts to Marius, and the pain I has caused him. This was not the time,
my dear! There were too many things happening at the present to get caug
t in the past. I sat down on the sofa next to the witch child, Nat. Enjoying the fact that this made
her uncomforatable. I relaxed and decided to stay for a few more moments before being off to
hunt for the evening meal.

"Lestat, my dear, I have a gift for you" She said, and reached me a leather bound book. "It is
Othello, a very rare publication.I thought you would appriciate this more than the meuseum that
had claimed it for it's own." I took the book and looked at it v
ry carfully, caressed it's cover slowly. Then I looked up again, smiling against her. "Thank you,
Pandora! You have no idea how much I appriciate this gift!" I looked down on the book again,
but suddenly I heard a knock on the door. Even more visitors, hm
? I walked over, and opened the door. The sight got me totally out of guard. "Armand!"

I am the Motherhouse, I am every Motherhouse. I'm in control of them all. They all bow to my
wishes. And I wish for the girl. Christine. Well, she's a woman now, but when she came to us she
was a girl. A child. It should have been easy to mold her to our
ishes. Our designs. Her powers were strong, but her child's mind was weak. Or so we thought.
That was our mistake. Not our only one, granted. We shouldn't have left her alone with Roger.
Then again, we didn't know of Roger's perverse desires. We came in t
o late. Even though he didn't have a chance to have intercourse with her, the damage had been
done. We erased this from her memory, of course. We had no choice. She was extremely
suicidal. We caught her several times trying to cut her own wrists. But we h
d waited too long. Christine grew to distrust us. In a paranoid fasion. If we could get her back,
the damage might yet be undone. Though threatening her family was going over board. We
shouldn't have done that. I want that girl back. She could be extremel
useful to us. Even if she had to be hunted down like a rabid animal, I - we, *must* have her
back. So I sit and wait for the reports to be turned in. And for her to be returned to us. I could
only hope Nat and Lily would find her and get her....

I was wandering around in my room, on the West end of the Motherhouse, when I got a phone
call. I answered the phone in my normal fashion, but the voice I heard on the other end was
unfamiliar. Interesting, since I can identify the voices of everyone who
ormally calls me- usually just the other Talamasca members, maybe mom, who knows? But it
was a voice that was novel to my ears- a soothing, clear voice- almost unnatural. Anyway, that
wasn't important. The content of his message was what really caught my
ttention. He said that Nat was in trouble, and that someone should come and get her. What? Nat
in trouble? Oh, shoot! I *knew* she was on an assignment that was important to her, and look at
what was happening! I quickly said goodbye to the guy on the pho
e, and started pacing around the room. Nat wouldn't want the Superior General sending some
guys out to get her- I knew that. She's just far too self-sufficient of a person to seem weak at any
point. I knew that the only thing to do was to go and get her m
self, so I walked out of my room, down the stairs, and got in the car. I remembered the directions
given to me easily. Sometimes it was nice to have the memory training I had, I mused. Finally, I
spotted the address in the French Quarter, and pulled over
o the side. I could see the figures of people wandering around inside, and I decided to just watch
them for a minute. Always observe before you act, that's what they taught us. When I decided
that the situation looked relatively stable, I whipped out my c
ll phone, and dialed Nat's number, hoping she could answer it...

I could only stand and smile at this group before me. Claudia at once came to greet me, and I
regretted that I had not brought her a gift. I could see in her eyes that she was up to something,
which didn't suprise me in the least. I gave her an effection
te kiss on the cheek, smiling into her eyes. What a creature Claudia is! We must hunt together,
and soon. **"Lestat, my dear, I have a gift for you" holding out the leather bound book to him.

at the faces of the two mortal women, and knew they both had the sight. Smiling at the one

Talamasca, and brain washed for certain. She was a danger to all of us, and I hoped Louis had
her in control. She would like nothing better than to steal away with
his other mortal, who obviously does not want to go.I held her eyes for a moment, giving her a
mental warning*Do not be careless around creatures such as us. Be forwarned. I will not allow
any danger to come to these immortals and will take any steps nece

he would be pleased.

It is always so nice to change into a new set of clothes. I arranged with the concierge to
clean and remove the markings of the events of the night, put on my best coat and top hat, and
was off. Ah, what pleasure it would be to see Lestat and Lou
s again - and to suprise them! Louis would never know it was me until it was too late; Lestat,
well, let's hope he's let his guard down again - I so despise it when he's in one of his bratty fits.
What's this - the smell of blood and drops on the street
Surely they have not been careless, have they? And shouting - something was up. Perhaps I
should come back another night? Masking my self, I sneak up to the house and peer in the
window. Two mortals and - oh my - a group of vampyres; such I have not
seen in over a century! Pandora, Louis, Lestat, and *sigh* Claudia. This wasn't going to be easy,
was it? How should I approach this? Sneak in the back door? An upstairs window? Naah - it'll
be fun enough as they won't even know I'm here until they
pen the door. I amble up to the door and knock, trying to stifle a grin...
