"what do you see?" Lekaire asked him. He looked deep into her eyes, failure, sadness, yearning to please someone. **me** he thought, he hadn't been a failure to anyone, anyone but himself. He looked at Lekaire, she put her sweet ivory hand on his face, "we seem to be two parts of the same coin." she said. Nicholas looked at her, her deep eyes looking back at him, he felt misery, why couldn't he accept this kindness? He knew he himself was his own answer, "tell me Lekaire, when does the sun rise here? I want to see the sun." She looked at him, he could tell she was curious as to what he meant. "We could walk in the sun." He answered her unsaid question, his eyes falling on her neck, "what do you mean?" Lekaire asked, unsure still of what he was talk ng about. " In hell I thought alot, why can't we walk in the sun? Yes, I know the elders can, but why not all of us? A ghost can fly about in the sun, and so can a mortal, and are we not two in one?" Lekaire was starring at him, did she agree? He cou dn't tell. "let's go find a violin, hmm.." He said, a quick change of subject, he didn't want to scare her away, he didn't know why, but years of insanity seemd to be washed away when he was around her, and there was that feeling....something old and l ng forgotten.

The police took me to the hospital where I was exmained. This was almost as humiliating as being raped. The poking, the proding, the endless stream of questions. Of course I filed a report, went thru the motions of wanting to press charges, but I knew it ould fall thru. The Talamasca would protect him no matter what they did. He was the Superior General after all. They protected the man who molested me, they would protect the man who raped me too. I sat there in the hospital, waiting for them to release m . Where would I go though? And what would I do? I couldn't remember where Pandora's house was. Well, there was one choice. *Louis, I'm at the hospital. Could you come pick me up? Please? Or send someone for me? I don't have money for a cab....* Heck, I di n't have money for the bus! And no where else to go anyway.

Are we evil? Such a simple question with such a complicated answer. My heart screamed out the truth, my false innocence. What did he think of me now. My mind was wide open, my past vulnerable at his hands. Could he touch my sadness? Did he know that even in death a part of me still longed to please a father rotting in the ground? Nicholas took me in his arms and we danced. Soft melodies escaped from those lips, beckoning me to join in his waltz. Was I flying? Time disappeared and the mock stares of the people on the streets made me laugh as I followed my companion. What did they care? They could never understand. Then the dance ended and he asked me what I saw. "I only see you Nicholas, you and your mournful soul. Nothing more," I whispered in hi ear, "What do you see?" I stared into his eyes, the same ones that had only a moment ago called for death. He promised he would never kill an innocent with me. Such caring words, but who could judge them. Could I? I acted the role of the hypocrite. i>Lekiare, you have spilled innocent blood. I played the role of a saint, but now I felt truly lost. My hand reached for his face, gently touching his pale cheek. "We seem to be the two halves of the same coin."

Nicholas put is arm arund Lekaire, once again in search of prey. **The question is are we evil** Lekaires own words ran again and again through his mind. It was evils nature to do evil, so sence Lekaire did not kill innocents, did that make her good? H thought about this for a moment. Lekaire said she had wanted to hear him play. But what of his violin? He hadn't one. He didn't need one he realized quite suddenly. He pulled Lekaire in close to him, taking her hand with his free one, and began to h m a tume, slowly he started to dance. One of the Theatres waltzes perhaps. He twirled around the street humming the song, it wasn't choatic, yet. People on the street seemed to stop and look momentarily, at the odd couple dancing down the street. He f nished the dance, and bowed at Lekaire, he couldn't help but wonder what was going on in her head. He smiled, so close to a real one. "What memories of mine did you see?" He asked Lekaire, had she been spared from the face of the devil? From the souls in hell? Hell, how had he gotten out? He tryed to remember, but it was gone, lost somewhere in the abyss of his mind. Lekaire wouldn't want to kill an innocent. "Lekaire, if you find my taste in victims repulsing, then I won't kill them when with you. He blinked, had he actually said that? From the mouth of evil itself? And what was that feeling in his head,he felt lilke everything was together and not falling apart. What was wronge with him?

Just another night - cruising the Rack in search of prey. There - the shy girl on the edge of the dance floor - trying to build up the courage to step in. A few murmured plaesentries and an offer of a drink at the bar - a subtle use of my vampirically enh nced charisma and she is mine. She walks outside - towards a waiting cab - I am following her when, all of a sudden, something sneaks through my shielding - my particular gift - the ability to hide myself from just about any psychic probe - even those of he elders - though it comes at the cost of the ability to read minds. Just for a fleeting moment i catch a glimpse of the vilest sexual act i have ever beheld - one the defiles even the word rape - and a face. I recognise it - one who was high in the talamasca - one whom i was once ordered to destroy. I did not do so - seei g no justification for his death - but surely that gastly scene provides provokation!! I choke down the ising flood of rage, and race in the direction of the image - it seemed to originate only a few miles away. feeding will have to wait, i have other bus ness this night

So much for forgetting the past, I thought with a sigh. My mother led me down the street, keeping a firm grasp on both my hand, and my mind. I wanted to run away, but could not since she was in control of my muscles. How had she found me? I should have eft last night after recieving her message. I thought I would have had at least a week before she caught up with me,althogh this did explain the feeling of impending doom I'd had last evening. Oh well, I'll just have to put up with her until she grows wea y of my company, which she undoubtedly will. " After we feed, I'll introduce you to my new friends. Perhaps you can stay with them, you'r not safe here by yourself," I told her, "not that I care." I added, realiziing that it sounded as if I were expressi g concern for her.

She disappeared around the next corner, her life spared until the next immortal decided to take her life. Why did some feel the need to destroy such innocence. Yet you had done it too. It had been an accident. But the damned were damned, and Ni holas was as much apart of me as I was him because of our nature. He struggled to hide his memories, but I was an elder, was I not? Five centuries bore down on my back, and in all those years never had I met an other just as pained, but still powerful. He couldn't hide the scalding fire that seared his marble skin. Even in the end his violin had failed to be a confort. We were so alike and yet so different. I closed my mind, halting the images of his life, and then took his hand. I wanted to hear him speak, feel each acheing word as it spilled from his lips. "I want to hear you play Nicholas," I whispered in his ear, leading him slowly down the street. He put his arm around my waist and we strolled down the French Quarter, once again in search of pr y.

He glanced at Lekaire, she didn't seem to know what to do. he smiled in mock disgust, she didn't want to kill an innocent. He looked into her eyes, and felt an odd sensation, something, strange. He reconized it. Lekaire had entered his mind. Dangerou thing to do Lekaire. He thought, could she hear him? He welled up his darkest, most painful thoughts, he liked Lekaire, but her attempt to enter his mind to save a pitaful mortal he would not tolerate. He knew it would be painful for him, but more pai ful for Lekaire. He thought of the fire, burning and pounding, charring his flesh. His flesh melting away and blistering. A child on the streets in paris, younge and beautiful, performing little theatric acts for change. He killed her, she ran through the streets, running, cornered, begging for life. Screaming for help. Being drained and still resisting.....He felt the mental hold let go of him. He blinked, He had control again. Lekaire, was she alright? The woman, his prey was gone.

I could feel Nat's presence behind me. Damn it! Why had I been so stupid as to not think of Christine's telepathy?! I should've forseen her using it. Ah - well, we can't win them all. Still, there was Nat. Though my games with her would have to wait. *Sex is power, little Nat, remember that. Lasher understood that. Sex is the ultimite power.* I laughed and kept running, trying to pull on my clothing when I could stop long enough. I ran into the elevator and as it made it's way down I finished getting dress d. I ran thru the lobby and out into the parking lot, Nat and the police hot on my heels. I had kept the doors to my rental unlocked and now I slipped behind the wheel and jammed the keys in. Starting the car and peeled out of there.

Christine's voice pierced through my mind, waking me from a slumber. I lay on the wet floor of the shower, cold water pounding on my skin. I shivered and grabbed a towel, roughly drying myself and rushing into the room to dress. I didn't want to think bout what just happened. I didn't happen. Did it? I grabbed the clothes nearest me, cringing at the images bombarding my mind. "That bastard!" I screamed as I saw the SG. How could this have happened without my noticing. I should have forseen this. The visions never failed me. They always warned of danger. I walked Christine straight into a trap. "You can't do anything to help her NATALIE. You will get hurt if you go up against the general." Kyle materialized before me, causing something i side of me to die. He was real, exactly the same as I had seen him in... Tears filled my eyes as I grabbed a gun and rushed out the door. "I owe this to Christine" I whispered. Lily was close by but we were both too late. The SG ran out of the room, pushing aside the two policeman. I ran into the room and saw Chris, but I didn't need to see that the deed had been done. I ran after the Superior General.

He motioned towards the business woman and my heart stopped. I had killed, mercilessly taken the lives of others, but something always remained. I could still see their faces, images plastered in my mind to remind me of this curse I bore. Evildoers whe e so easy to kill then. I didn't mind seeing their faces justas long as I knew that my crime had been justified. They could no longer harm, yet I could. I glanced at the woman with the two children waiting for her to come home. Everyone needs their mo her. I would not kill her, but how could I stop Nicholas. Deep down inside, his own pains surfaced. I felt them so near, as if we were touching just barely enough to hear our hearts beating. I wanted to see inside him, distract his desire just long en ugh...

I held my arms tightly around Pandora. Ah the smell of her! I had almost forgotten it. Pandora, the only woman to truly ever raise any passion in me. Pandora had always been mine. She always would be mine as I would always be hers. She knew that. "You kno what we have to do to protect ourselves this time, don't you? We must go after the talamasca. We must destroy them completely, show no mercy. They have shown none to us. We must be the same to them my darling." I kissed her on the lips, holding her close to me.

Note: Correction: My daughter, Dierdre, *hopes* to go to the ball

Comments:
I could scarcely believe my eyes! There, before me, was the *one* for whom I had searched for so very long: my own *beloved* daughter, Dierdre, the most wicked, ungrateful child ever birthed by woman. She whom had made me a vampire, hoping in her foolishn ss, that it was the supreme punishment. In fact, she had unwittingly fulfilled my most secret and dark desire. I am a witch by birth, although my daughter was not born with the gift. Her father had been a beautiful outsider, who had betrayed me, and pai the ultimate price for doing so. Did I kill him? Indeed I did not. That would have been too easy. Instead, I took away his most treasured possession: his beauty. Women, who had swarmed around him, now shunned him, turning their faces away in horror. It d ove him quite mad, until he took his own life. Dierdre could never forgive me for that, even though her father had been worthless to her. She did learn about vengeance at her dear mother's knee. She was so young! When I refused to let her marry the spoile youth that she fancied herself in love with, she ran away, vowing revenge. Instead, she gave me the greatest of rewards: immortality. How I cherish it, relish it, revel in it. There is such a fierce and primitive pleasure in slowly absorbing the life for e of another human being, as you drain the last of the blood from their limp body. I had been searching for my wicked girl for over five years, and here she had just dropped into my very lap. I reached out, and took her arm to give her a cold embrace. "G od evening to you, dearest daughter. You have been a most agile quarry, slipping away from me, like a shadow, each time that I am sure that I have found you." I felt her shiver and recoil, as she did not return my embrace. "What, no kiss for your belove mother? I have traveled so far to find you. Come, let us feed together, and then we can *catch up* on life." I led her away, unresisting. The mental powers that I had learned as a witch, were only augmented by those that I gained as a vampire, and the f ght went right out of her. She was *mine*. Sweet reunion!

The sun was setting as I stared out the window, pondering the events the last seventy two hours. Christine was alive, her screams of agony had reached through my sleep, penetrating my unconcious thoughts.Alive, but not well. The screams should have been coming from Nat, the little bitch. she wasnt enti ley to blame, I have to remember that. Her brain has been scrubbed clean of all decency and morals, those being replaced with the sick intentions of the Talamasca. I liken them to the Klan so prominent in the southern states and the mid west. An orginizat on of half witted, uneducated, and in the Klans case, inbred, poppets. "Pandora", I turned slightly to find Marius had awakened. I sighed and turned back to the window."Marius, there is another presence here and I think we both know what it is. For whatev r reason it feels a direct link to the Mayfair family, and I don't belive that this has been its first stop." My arms went his neck as I lay my head on his chest, feeling comfort from his arms about me.

The SG had put the paintbrush aside and entered me. I whimpered, not liking this at all. I didn't want this. The story of the Twins entered my mind, remembering how they broadcasted their story to every vampire in the world and even some mortals. I wasn't aiming for every vampire in the world, just the ones in New Orleans. I worried though that no one was getting the message when I heard Lily in my head. Thank God! She had heard me! I kept sending out the images though. I had to let others know how corrupt the leader of the Talamasca was. I needed help. Pounding came at the door, the SG stopped what he was doing and pulled on a robe. I was relieved to have him out of me. He went to the door, opening it only partway. From the way he talked I could tell the p lice where there. Oh God - they weren't going to search the room! *Don't believe him! Trust your intuition! Get into this room!* I sent out to them despertly. Thinking I was their intuition or whatever they trusted, they finally forced their way in. I sta ted to grunt against my gag. One came over and took it out. That's when I started to cry. Unfortuantly, the SG started to use his powers. The policemen were knocked to the floor and couldn't get up until the SG had grabbed his clothing and made his escape One got up and tried to pursue him while the other untied me and removed the candle from my belly button. I knew it was too late, that the SG was long gone. As for me I'd be in the hospital for the rest of the day. I sent out this mental image too so my riends would know the bastard had escaped. Maybe they would look out for him, tell other vampires to look for him.... I could only hope.

I was back in the motherhouse, glad for once to be away from all of those vampires. But Nat's absence was still disturbing me. I didn't know where she was, or how to go about finding her. But I figured that as long as I was in the motherhouse, I could che k for any changes. I picked up the phone and dialed Nat's cell phone, hoping she had it on her. No such luck- it just rang. I decided to write up a note for her, in case she returned. It was a simple note, really, just saying that if she saw this then giv me a call. I walked over to her room on the third floor, and slipped it under the door. I thought I faintly heard a shower going, but it could have been coming from somewhere else, so I just let it drop. Sticking my hands into my pockets, I began making y way back to my room, but a telepathic message stopped me in my tracks. It was Christine, and she was in trouble... she was in the motherhouse. Then these awful images of rape started coursing through my mind, and it was all I could do not to scream in t rror! The next thing I knew all images had been blocked from my mind with the exception of the Superior General's face! What? The Superior General raping Christine, I thought. I had to stop this... but how? If I barged in there, who's to say he wouldn't h ve done the same thing to me. He might have killed me off, too, since none of the others knew I had returned. In their ignorance, they might have thought I was murdered some time within the last three days. No, barging in there was definitely *not* the ri ht thing to do, I concluded. The police- yes, the police could handle this, I thought. Quickly, I ran into my room and picked up the phone again. Dialing the police station, I said "I think there's a rape going on. You have to come here and stop it... I'm afraid to go into the room." They gave me assuring words, and said they'd be here in no time. *Christine, I've called for help.* I sent to her, hoping they would get here in time.

It was over, she was gone. My attempts to help her were of no use. The wounds were healing on my arms, and the vile creature who had preformed well for the Talamasca fled, a coward, just like all the Talamasca. Marius dragged Diedre into the house and I ollowed. I was tired. Tired of these damn mortals and tired of having my home invaded by them. They have fucked with the wrong person this time, and this piper will be paid! "Santino, my sweet, unobtruvise molester of injured men!" Glancing to the sofa th n back to Santino, I could not supress a smile, nor my yearning for him. Izu came in, astonishment on his face and a question forming on his lips. Waving his comments aside, I instructed him to remove Tom to a safer place and to post extra gaurds on the p emises. "Well, every one, not much we can do this night, since it is about to become day. I suggest you all follow me, and quickly. We cannot stay here, they will be back.

I had woken up to find myself in a nightmare of Quenten Tarintino makings. Gagged with that strange device that went over one's head and ended up with a ball in the mouth. Tied to the bed. I looked at the man who had chased me all these years, the Superio General. I knew what he was going to do. I don't care what he claimed, it was still rape. I was unable to fight physically, but I started to send out mental images of what was being done to me and of the converstation. Not just to my vampire friends, I s nt it on the "wide-band" again, sending it out to *all* vampires and to Nat and Lily. Oh, they'd love the part where the SG called them stupid. I knew it was daytime and therefore none of my vampire friends could help me, but I could warn them of the SG's plans. Let them know. Every vampire in New Orleans would be dreaming of this. Not to mention Lily and Nat. Maybe I should have broadcasted it to all the Mayfairs, but at least I got the two most important ones. So now I knew about my past, why I had the h adaches. I was molested and they erased my memory of it. And now the SG was telling me about it as he did things that were no better. Attaching clips with weights on them onto my nipples, dripping hot wax into my belly button so he could set the candle in there as if I was a candle holder. I could feel the wax dripping down, getting into my hair between my legs.... Then there was the ice that he filled me with, I could almost feel it inside my womb itself. He would sometimes flick his tongue inside me, I s uirmed in repulstion. The horror of the paintbrush came next. God, someone help me!

Nat had went on to bathe so I had them bring Christine to my room, though I still wanted Nat to report to me. Power wouldn't wait. I had to have her now. She was out cold when they brought her to me. When the others had left I stripped her and tied her to the bed, then I slipped the Plup Fiction-type gag over her head and placed the ball firmly in her mouth. I smacked her face until she woke up. "Hello, Christine." I cooed, stroking her flesh. "Remember me? I know you do. Do you know what I'm going to do t you? Do you have any idea?" I chuckled as she venemently spat out in my mind *Rape me.* "Oh no, dear Christine, it's not rape because when I'm thru you'll be begging me for it. You see, Christine, sex is power and power is all. One of your teachers under tood that, only he tried to gain power over you at too young an age. Ah - I see the mental blocks are still in place, yes, the pain of trying to remember. Let me refresh your memory - You were about 10 years old, he got you alone, he made you take off you clothes and started to touch you. We came in just before he made you have intercourse with him. We erased your memory of it, but unfortuantly the distrust of the Talamasca was there. That's when you ran away from us." By now I had started to put my plan nto motion, clipping on the nipple weights, dripping hot wax into her belly button then using it to place the candle in there. It would stay there and burn, slowly dripping wax on her. I had gotten most of my ideas from some books about Sleeping Beauty, b t some I came up with on my own. Taking the bucket of ice I knelt between her legs and started to pack it up inside her, leaning down to lap at her now and again. She squirmed, though she couldn't move much because of the restraints. "When we're thru, Chr stine, you'll willingly follow me everywhere. Do anything I say. Thru you I'll have the ulmite power. Over the vampires, the Taltos, even over those stupid Mayfairs. They could take over the world if they wanted, instead the idiots join us." I shook my he d at the foolish Mayfairs as I finished with the ice and picked up the paintbrush.

It felt like it had been days since I had last been with my Pandora, I felt Marius close by and I thought to myself about getting together the three of us. Just like old times. Treking around the world in order to save him from his icy prison. I slowly walked back to the Pandora's hideout, thinking about old kills and past transgressions. I had heard a mortal's cry for help and got to the street just in time to see Lestat's Christine dragged away by the Mayfair witch, who reminded me so much of Stella. These damn mortals, they were so much more trouble than we needed. I casually walked up the steps and leaned against the doorjam, watching as the car careened around the corner and out of sight. I felt another mortals unbearable agony, and this one made me turn around. He was lying on the couch and was covered in blood. I hadn't been thirsty, but this one beckoned to me. I walked into the room and lay beside this bandaged guard of Pandora's. I slid into his thoughts and licked his wounds, **Tom, it w ll be better soon.** My blood mixed with his and I rose from the sofa with renewed vigour. "Too bad it was getting light, I would love to stay with you for a while." I grinned and waited for the other immortals to arrive.

The voice returned, asking what was wrong. It was Christine, and I could only wonder where she was now, and if Lestat was with her. "He's gone," I whispered, just barely shaping the words with my mouth. Slowly, I sat down on the bed, and stared sorrowfull out the window. But I didn't remain long in this state before Christine's cries came piercing through my mind. She was in danger, and Nat had taken her! Jumping up, I ran over to the window, only to see the stars disappearing in the horizon. I didn't hav the time to save her then... *Christine, I can't. The sun is rising. I'm sorry... Tomorrow night tell me where you are, and I will find you.* I rested my hands on the windowsill, silently damning my immortality once more.

Nicholas winced somewhat when she mentioned playing together. He thought of the sweet sound of the piano acompaning his choatic violin. Memories surged through his mind. Sanity was coming back, for the moment anyhow. Lekaire mentioned something about eeding together, lacing her arm to his. He smiled, he had fed, but a white lie never hurt, and one could never have enough to drink. He smiled, "I'd love to." they walked thrugh the streets together, He imagined Lekaire had her own prefrences. He look d up and down. He could see a homeless man sitting in an alley, and a whore on the streets, each life filled with failure. Up the street he saw a woman dressed in buisness clothes getting home late? Nicholas frowned, it troubled him how he knew so much about this modern world and yet had only been here for afew hours. The woman was surronded by a soft white glow. "Look at that one Lekaire," He pionted at the woman, "She's sucessful, Has a great job, 2 kids and a husband. Everything someone could wa t in life. Let's kill her." He smiled. The woman would die, sending her family into termiole. Her buisness would be alittle lost without her. She seemed like the perfect creature to kill.

I parked the car in the basement garage, the sound of the engine dying filled the space with fading echoes. I opened the side door and dragged Christine out of the passenger seat. Why weren't there any agents here waiting for us. I knew the general wa here but he would have surely sent some help. I wrapped my arms around her torso and dragged her towards the elevator leading to the lobby. I pushed the button, and the doors flew open. An agent, Mark Wilson, helped me with my load. "The General's be n expecting you," he said mechanically, then his brown eyes widened. "Mayfair, what the hell happened to you?" "I had a small tumble with some vampires," I said smiling. I must have looked like a reck. My clothes were torn and my face was covered in c otted blood and dirt. I blushed slightly and lowered my head. I was desperate for a shower. I couldn't meet the general like this. "Wilson, is it allright if I clean....up a bit before I see the Superior General." He grinned, "Sure, you know how pick he is about germs." "Thanks" We took another elevator and arrived at the thirteenth floor. "Madison and I will keep an eye on Holmes," he said and left, handing me a pair of keys. I glanced at the numbers, room 1324. I clasped them in my hand and to k a deep breath. It's daylight outside Nat. Pandora and her brood won't come near you for awhile. Just calm down. Kyle had taken care of that. Why was I still trembling? I peeled off my tattered clothes and stepped into the shower, blasting t e scalding water on my delicate skin. It felt so good. My body automatically started to relax. I grabbed the soap and ran it all over my body, feeling gently where the bruises had been inflicted. A chill ran up my spine, and I had the distinct feeling that I was being watched. I opened the shower curtain slightly, but I couldn't see a thing. Huge clouds of steam filled the room, blinding me from this presence. Soft fingers caressed my arms as I felt Kyle's cool lips kiss my neck. Oh God, this wasn' happening. But it was. His fingers, at least what I thought were his fingers, traced the contours of my ribs, tickling me where ever he touched. "My dear sweet Natalie. You truly are a Mayfair," he sang. He slipped down my belly, planting kiss s everywhere. I moaned softly, my back resting against the wall as he took me with his mouth, sucking gently. "Oh shit!" I whispered as I felt myself disappear into this world of pleasures.

I could sense it. Nat had her. Nat had my Power. Christine. I could almost taste her, and taste her I would. *Nat, good job, bring her to my hotel.* I gave her mental directions to my hotel. She would know that my orders were to supersead all others. She' bring Christine here. I started to perpare. Handcuffs, a gag much like the ones used in Plup Fiction, nipple weights, vibrator, my favorite, the camel-hair paint brush.Those were just to start. A fresh bucket of ice was in order. The candles and matches ere near at hand. An eletric cattle prod. Oh, and these I loved - there was one leather collar that went around a person's neck, then two that went around one's thighs, they could be attached together so that the person in the collar's face would be in th other's privates. It would be interesting to put Nat in it and see her "eat" Christine out. Just the thought of it made me ready for my Power.

One vampire rushed me at once. He grabbed my hair and knocked me to the ground. I doubted I could take much more of this, but I knew I had to finish what I came here to do. Revenge would come later of course. Kyle pushed the man off me and I dragged C ristine into the street. Why did she have to faint now. She did this to annoy me. I knew this much. I spotted a girl standing a couple of feet from us. I opened my mouth, but I had a wierd feeling that she would do nothing to help us. She too was a v mpire. "What, are you all planning to take over the earth. I've never seen so damn many of you." Get a hold of yourself Nat. Your almost out of hear. Yeah right! I looked around and picked the first car closest to me. It was a white Neon. I broke the window, and threw Christine into the passenger seat. I started the car with difficulty. My mind just couldn't concentrate, and even though Kyle was taking care of the immortals, I still had this horrible sense of forbodding. As if I was about to learn something, but not good at all. I swallowed hard and started the engine. Hitting the gas pedal, I sped out of the district and heade toward the hotel. I hoped Lily would be around and then Christine would be ot of my hands for good. Hell! I eserved a vacation. I smiled and thought of the beach just as the first rays of sun penetrated through the windshield. There wouldn't be a vampire following me anytime soon.

"Damn it all, Pandora!", I shouted at her as we ran after the mortal girl who was the cause of so much trouble,"Why dont you catch this girl and take her!? Put an end to this game shes playing with us!" I quickly caught up with her. Being human, her runni g speed was no match for that of a vampire. Grabbing her by the hair, I flung her to the ground. Just them something very powerful slammed into me, knocking me over. While I was gathering myself up, Nat took the opportunity to jump up, obviously in pain f om the blow I had dealt her, but still moving. She grabbed Christine and was gone from my sight.

I wasn't that old but I did have strong telepathic powers, it was passed down in my family. I heard the screams, I knew they were not out loud but telepathic. Someone needed help! I was on my way to Pandora's house when I heard them slightly ahead of me. ran aways, and I saw who had sent out the telepathic cry for help, it was a young woman, she was aparently being kidnaped, and had passed out. "Put her down" I commanded. I could tell that I would have to be careful, this was no mere mortal I dealing w th, but I couldn't just let her get away with kidnapping this girl. Now I waited anxiously to see what move she would make.

Nat had gotten ahold of me. I struggled and tried to get away, but struggling didn't help. In desperation I sent out a "wide-band" mental cry for help. *Louis! Claudia! Someone - please! The Talamasca! Help!* I kept trying to break free but Nat had always been stronger then me. In desperation I forced myself to faint, making myself "dead weight" for her to carry. Even with psychic powers I'd be difficult to carry while being completely out of it.

The violinist had left his instrument with a friend, but even this comment seemed to have something more, something hidden. I wanted to know his sadness. It seemed so much like my own, my grey cloud of meloncholy. "Why is it that a darkness enshrouds yo ? You don't seem evil." "The question is, are we evil?" I said and handed him my arm. "I used to play the piano myself. The nuns I lived with didn't agree to my playing, but then again no one could control me when I was young. We should make music you nd I," I mentioned and laughed. From the look on his face, I knew I had opened a wound. Now this would surely be a fascinating venture. "Surely Nicholas, forgive my transgression, but tell me. Have you fed tonight. I would certainly enjoy the presenc of a fellow vampire."

Loyalty. It didn't appear to be the threatening word that controled most people. The most secret organizations held such a code, but the Talamasca thrived by it. I held my chance practically in my hand. I could sense Christine's presence. She seemed o close, so damn near that I wished I could just run out and grab her. I certainly had the advantage. These foolish vampires had no idea. Did they know Kyle was here, standing next to me, invisible to them but so wonderfully lucid to me? I winked at h m, hoping he would understand that I was all right. Pandora threatened me then, rambling on about how she would hurt all that I loved. Of course if she lived. Her companion, an older man with grey hair, added his own two cents. "Pandora, you shouldn't have fucked with a Mayfair," I laughed and then the energy consumed me. Tiny little red marks raced up their arms, marring their palid skin, the maker of their cries. Kyle bit at their necks, throwing dear sweet Pandora across the room. I ran out and b mped into one of her henchman. I knocked him out of the way and sprinted towards the door only to find Christine walking out of one of the rooms. I grabbed her arm,"Your precious vampires can't help you now Chris." She struggled against me, hitting my lready damaged ribs. I gasped painfully, but not once did I loosen my grip until we were outside of the compound.

"I cant really say why she still lives" The answer to this question evaded me, I did not know!Something about this mortal intrigued and infatuated my couriosity, she was something of an egnima, a powerful source of psychic ability, a fly caught in the tra pings of the Talamasca. She seemed frail, to look at her, yet the eyes held a knowing, a depth beyond that of the average mortal."Marius, I honestly can not answer that. This I do know, she holds a power and a pourpose, there is a force much stronger than she whos hand is guiding our actions." Her head slumped over and her breathing slow and deep, she looked almost innocent, and if I had not known the deeds she was capable of, I would have felt some empathy for her, as it was though, I knew she was evil, p rhaps more so than even Armand, if that were possible. Kicking away the shattered chains, sliding down the wall to sit next to this woman who threatened our very existance, I slid my fangs into neck before she realized, holding her as I partook briefly of her body and soul. The images were horrific, frightening! The blackness of the force surrounding us seemed to pump through her very veins, and her true weakness revealed in these moments. Realeasing her, healing the wound on her neck, I helped her to her eet. She came around in a delirium, her fever now becoming quit high. "Marius, help me take Nat upstairs, and dont ask me questions! I do not know why I do this thing!" She lay on the single bed, covered with three quilts, shivering. Washing her face and ands with warm water, Marius went about looking for a change of clothing for her, bringing back a pair of grey sweat pants and a dark blue heavy t-shirt, and socks. Christine wouldnt miss these things, she had plenty that Izu had brought her. Nat moaned t ying to rise as we changed her clothing, then lay back. "Nat, you are safe, I will not harm you. You must rest, then in the morning you are free to go, but do not return to the townhouse, nor to any lair of my kind. You will die if our paths meet again! A I understood?" The gaurd, Colvin, came with a tray brimming with hot chamomile tea, bland toast, water, and asprin. Marius and I watched from the door as he gave the medication with water and offered her tea."Colvin, she is to be released inthe morning. ake her, blindfolded, in the car any where she wishes to go. But mind her now, she is not an innocent and extremely dangerous. If you feel a presence or any danger approaches you, leave at once and leave her here." "Marius, you look as though you disaprove of my actions?" We left the lair hand in hand, walking slowly up the street, now almost voud of pedastrians, to St. Louis Cemetary.

"You know I have little love for mortals. Especially one who threaten me and my kind. I would kill her myself but for the fact that you have kept her alive for this long. There must be a reason. You are not prone to having pity on humans. So, why do you s are her life?" I was puzzled. It wasn't like Pandora to harbor a human without a reason, particularly one that posed a danger to her. Why did this mortal still live?
