I stared at this creature. This Nicholas. A smile spread across my face. Could this be the very same Nicholas mentioned in those delicous vampire books? "It is a pleasure, Nicholas. Now this is the way to treat a queen." I approached him slowly, wondering if he believed me, certainly he could smell that my blood did not have the scent of mortals. I carressed his face, then kissed his wonderful lips. "Mmm - So wonderfully hard. How I wish women had lips like men."

This woman was actaully convinced she was Cleopatra, he was beginning to believe that she was immortal, her strength afterall matched his. She was squeezing his neck quite hard, it of course didn't hurt him, but made talking bascially impossible, though ampires have no use for breathing, the intake of air is nescessary for speech. He angril twisted his body, trying to pull his neck free. He suddenly wished he had stayed at the hotel with Lekaire, Her elder strength would be able to overcome this woman. HE pulled away from Cleopatra, throwing her back afew feet. He massaged his throat with his hands. He looked up from where he sloched on the ground, Cleopatra was slowly advancing on him. Nicholas put on the most charming smile he could muster. "Dear Cleopatra," He smiled, "it has become apparent to me that neither of us can win this quarrel." She stopped her advance looking at him, anger still painted on her face. He stood up slowly, "My name is Nicholas Lefent." He looked about calling out to Le aire mentally, he felt like a foolish child who venutured into the lair of a wolf, only to run out crying for his mother. He held out his hand, he was still ready to fight if this woman, this Cleopatra didn't accept his peace offer....

No answer - and no answering machine. I sensed something was wrong and headed over to the townhouse. Turning the corner who do I see but Lestat, who pirouetted around and leaped at me. "Hello Lest...Hey!" He grabbed me by my arm and dragged me along w th him. Something was up, definitely. He said in a dark voice, "Come, old friend, help me to find Gabrielle. I will explain as we go." What was I supposed to do - argue with one of the most powerful vampires in the world?
So I followed alongside a he filled me in. Returning to the townhouse, we found Gabrielle, safe, sound, and still as strong-minded as I had seen in the past. A few minutes later while Lestat briefed the two of us, in walked in Louis. I smiled at him, but no more as the mood of the room was too somber for anything else. The images filled my mind and then everything began to blur. I was no longer myself but animalistically serving Lestat's orders...creating diversions, disposing of bodies. In hindsight, I didn't even flinch se ing Claudia. All that was on my mind by the time morning neared was feeding. I excused myself, explaining that I would return tomorrow night, left the others, and on a dark street alley found a delicious victim whom I savored. After disposing of this b dy (the last of many for the night), I returned to my hotel, took my private elevator, greeted the concierge, and went to sleep.

The fool challenged me, showing - Fangs? A vampire? Could it be? Before I could blink he was behind me, trying to break my neck. I grabbed for his throat. Suddenly his voice was in my mind, asking me what I was. "I told you," I hissed, "I am Cleopatra, th last Pharoh!" I grinned, squeezing his throat. "I am an immortal," I said, "Brought back from the world of the dead by Ramses. Yanked back from there by his evil formula. Now, let me go before I rip your throat out." I squeezed harder at his throat, tryi g to inflict some damage.

Nicholas could't help but laugh, this women thought she was Cleopatra. "Queen of the Nile, and I thought I was mad." he laughed. She claimed she was immortal, no it couldn't be, she wasn't a vampire, if it was a fight she wanted, why should he depreive er of that? He had gone after for his feeding. He pulled back his lips in a gruesome smile. He had never much tried to hide his fangs, why bother to now, this women, this supposebly Cleopatra(sp? I really don't now how to spell her name) was looking not the face of her death, he wran over to her faster than the human eye could register, grabbing hold of her neck, he felt her own hands grab his. Amazing strength, He tried to pull back, but couldn't. **very smart Nicholas, look at what you've brough onto yourself** He fought back, he was still sore from trying to kill an invisible man who turned out to be a wall, he felt one of her hands pressing on his throat. "What are you?" He asked her mentally......

Someone stepped forward, claiming he wasn't afraid of me. I grinned to him, laying my blue eyes on him. "Really now? Fool!" I spat. Regal temper coming forth, I hissed to him, "Come then, foolish one. Face Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile. The Last Pharoh. Le rn the meaning of death!" I reached for him, perpared to break his neck. Smash him beneath my foot. "Face a true immortal, foolish one!"

Comments:
Nicholas woke up, his eyes searched the room, had the sun set already? He frowned, looked at the foot of the bed he saw something, a granite angel? Anger erupted in him. "YOUR NOT TAKING ME BACK!" He screamed, luanching himself at the creature, what h assumed was a minion of hell. He hit the wall with a sickening crunch. Pain spread throughout his body. "ow" he muttered, a smile spread across his face. "of course, I have truely gone mad." He laughed, of course, this was all to good to be true, e had finally gone completely mad. "But how is it that I am mad in hell?" He murmered. He looked at the bed, Lekaire still lay asleep. "I'm going out to hunt ma chere," he whispered in her ear, knowing she would remember it when she woke up. "Send me a message when you awaken and I will find you." He bent over slowly, knowing that it was dangerous to confront a vampire who was sleeping and kissed her on the cheek. It would be easy enough to find some pray in this town. **** As he walked the streets he spotted a women, nice colouring, from the old world he assumed. He smiled, evil shrouded her, a faint smell of cats, he smiled, this one would be easy enough to kill, he'd just follow her until she was alone, he noticed that girl was with. Alittle while later the girl ran away from this women, who ran after her screaming in rage, he walked far enough behind her, hoping that she wouldn't see him. He watched as in her rage, she killed a drunk man, Nicholas, stared, she had a azing strength for a mortal, "This is going to happen to you to." She cried at him, though she couldn't see Him. She started yelling at the girl,he knew that now would be a perfect time to strike, she was alone. He walked out of the darkness that shrou ed him, he was still sore from attacking the wall. He smirked at the thought of it. "I don't fear you." he smiled evily looking at this women, she looked at him, anger written ove her face, something was wronge with this women, He couldn't place it, but something didn't seem right with her.....

Izu pulled up with the car and we waited while Marius and Luna went to retrieve Diedre. Christine was not doing well, she was weak and needed to rest. I put her into the back of the stretch limo while one gaurd, Calvin, poured her a drink. She smiled wan y and leaned back into the seat. Her skin looked rather grayish and I knew she has lost blood and been through too much in the last 48 hours."Christine, there will a doctor waiting to attend to you when we reach the plane" I covered her with a blanket and went to the others.Louis had not arrived yet, but I was sure he would be along. There were six of us waiting on Marius, Luna, Diedre,Louis and Santino. Izu assured us all was readied on the private plane and I sent a message to Tom, instructing him to fo low as soon as his wounds were healed. He was one of my best gaurds,I could not leave him behind.

Luna was kissing and rejoicing. Now I could definately feel where Dierdre was at., "She's two blocks away from her", I told Luna,"Lets go find her." We informed Pandora and the others to wait for us while we gathered our charge up and took off down the st eet towards the young immortal. There was something else, something old as I chasing the girl. I knew it for sure. Who was it? It was not a vampire, that I knew. "Hurry!", I told Luna," I think she is in danger!"

I heard commotion upstairs, the woman saying "we've got them" or some such, presumably into a telephone. Relying on my "gift" to blanket my presence from non-mundane senses, i walked as quietly as i could up the stairs. There, i walked through a couple of rooms and then stopped, for the sound of the mortals voice was coming from the next room. I must move slowly, un-threateningly, so as not to scare this mortal away as i did with the man. As i listened to the half-conversation, i heard her rejoicing at the capture of Lestat. did she mean that fictional character from the so-called "Vampire Choricles" - or was this merely a coincidence. Then again, perhaps it hadnt been fiction - Akasha ha been real enough, and only my gift had allowed me to live, cloaking my presense from even her. Things were worse than i had thought - this woman was over-seeing the capture of immortals - perhaps for the Talamasca! She must be stopped! I readied my self o dash around the corner and club her unconcious with all the supernatural speed i could muster...

Everything was going too fast for me to comprehend. All I know is somehow I was stopped from jumping. Lestat was there, then we were seperated again. I just sat mute thru-out the entire ordeal. Not even noticing when I was picked up to be carried here, th re, and yonder. In a way I realized I was acting the way Lestat said Nicolos acted when first made a vampire. The thought scared me. I thought of him, how he died. I started to shiver violently. The world spinning. I prayed I didn't vomit....

That did it, this one wasn't going to ruin my fun anymore! I swiftly started to follow her. While not nessasarly faster then mortals I did have more endurance and therefore could push myself harder then most. Doing my best to find her. I still felt that p esence following me. Angry now I turned on my heal and shouted, "I know you're there! Show yourself!" A drunk stumbled out of an alley, without a second thought I grabed him and swiftly broke his neck. Anger driving me, I ripped his head off and threw it o one side. "You'll get the same when I find you!" I shouted to the presence.

Comments:
I just wanted to clarify the rules on the game. We all must work in unison on the story lines. One character cannot kill another character, whether vampire or mortal or whitch, **unless it is agreed upon by both characters.** Maiming or hurting are allowe ! We must all respect the story lines that are in progress and allow them to be played out to the conclusion. Talk to each other about the stories and find out what each character's plan and idea for the story is before acting. Some players may have a def nite story planned out, and in that case they should notify all the characters involved as to what is happening and get their input.I think there has been some confusion on the limits for the actions of characters and just how far they can go. Let us all eep in mind that there is no killing of a main character or a supporting character, ie: Pandora's gaurds, the Talamasca gaurds or agents who are sent for a special purpose, a mortal slave, ect...without the agreement of all parties involved. Characters ha e the right to protect themselves from vicious attacks from mortals, spirits, ect, but we must work together on what is being done. That is all I have to say. I just dont want any ones feelings to get hurt or any personal feelings getting involved. This i a game to have fun with, remember!

I saw the vampire man I had met at Padora's lair as we left the shop, and I could tell that he was following us. When Cleopatra asked, I lied, and told her that I didn't think so. I saw smoke in the distance, and I wondered what was burning. I sensed that something was happening, somethig bad. I knew that I had to find my mother, and while it meant leaving my new friend I felt I had no choice. " I'm sorry, but I must leave you. I doubt that we shall meet again." I knew that it was blunt, but didn't have the time to worry about what some mortal thought of me. I almost wished that she would follow me as I walked away, but I knew this would most definatly not be a wise thing for her to do. I went then in serch of my mother and the others, and a so to descover what was wrong.

What a shock Natalie would have, when whe opened that coffin at her destination, only to find a dead mortal. Feelings of power and triumph were pulsating throughout my body, in unison. Such an intoxicating blend, victory, and an almost smug sense of self satisfaction. Who did Natalie Mayfair imagine that she was confronting? Pitting her puny mortal intellect against my centuries of experience; it was laughable. I, who had exchanged blood with the first mother of us all; I could have ruled the world at Akasha's side, if I had so desired. Now, she had taken this battle to the personal plain. I would make her pay, in ways that she could not even imagine. First, I must see that all my friends and companions embarked on their journey to safety. For some reason, an image of David flashed briefly in my mind. How I wished that he were here to reign in his crazed protege. Her madness had even endangered Christine, who she claimed to want only to protect.

I was not even sure who all these immortals were, but it was certain that their plan had succeeded in outwitting the mortals, yet again. When would they learn that they were no match for us, especially when we combined our strengths. I threw my arms aro nd Marius, giddy with relief. The future was looking brighter again. Now, if only I could locate my errant daughter. I was sincerely worried about her well-being, with all these Talamasca agents running loose through the city. I hoped that we could fi d her before they did. Who was this new friend, anyway?

Pandora led us to the agreed upon rendezvous point. There we met up with Lestat and Gabrielle, who were unfortunatly accompanied by Armand. They had just fed, and were fully restored. We all began to laugh with relief that Lestat's plan had worke perfect y, like clockwork. The Talamasca agents and Natalie actually believed that their simple human minds could over power Lestat, who had drunk from Akasha and survied the sun. The man they ha sealed in the coffin was acctually an unfortunate mortal, made to r semble Lestat through mental trickery. Time to plan our escape.

"They fell straight into our trap" Madison yelled over the commotion of the burning house. I would have to thank Dawson personally. His ability to project holographic images with the mind was a great assit to the motherhouse. Lestat and his clan fell f r the deception and were now watching an empty house burning to the ground. I contacted Kyle, but the poor thing was probably still licking his wounds. I paced the room, waiting for an update from Madison. This next part was crucial. My agents were to use their telekinetic powers to subdue Lestat, who ironically believed to have killed off my task force. I sought a link with Kyle as he watched from a distance. Slowly, in pairs, the agents surrounded the immortal who glared at them. I could see the s rain in Lestat's eyes, squinting with hunger. It must be horrible to crave blood every single day of his immortal life. Then again, he was a vampire. They were all bloodthirsty fiends without a purpose to their existance. I linked my mind with the oth rs and slowly, the most powerful vampire in the world toppled to the ground unconcious. My agents dispersed the others as they grabbed Lestat and threw him into a lead coffin. Madison called me back and I directed him to send Lestat's body to the hide-o t in Europe. I had my prisoner, but not my revenge.

Louis walked into the room, where I was briefing Armand and Gabrielle, and I filled him in as well. Suddenly, my mind was flooded with images of our friends, being attacked in Pandora's lair. Glancing at Armand, I could see that he was also aware of the n w developments. I put up one hand to quiet Louis' questions, and began to relate the scene to them. We watched as the four immortals joined their minds into one force, and destroyed that foul minion of the Talamasca, Natalie's lap dog, Kyle. Then we sen ed the arrival of numerous agents, who surrounded Pandora's hide-out. "Come, my friends, I know what we must do. We will create a diversion, so that the others can escape, with Christine, to safety." We made haste to reach Pandora's lair, and each one f us stood behind the Talamasca agents on one side of the building. Then, taking a cue from Pandora's clever scheme, we four joined our minds, and I sent my destructive powers flowing through and out of each of the others. The men began to clutch their hests, and screaming in agony, they soon all collapsed on the ground. I wrenched open the front door, and called out to our friends, "Come quickly, here is your chance to escape. We will stay behind, and clean up the mess. Louis, you go with Claudia." I then saw, out of the corner of one eye, Christine poised to fling herself from an upper window. I stopped her with my mental power, and yelled to Pandora, "Go and take hold of Christine. Her mind is clouded with confusion, and she is contemplating a fo lish act, with permanent consequences. I charge you with the responsibiltity for her safety. I know that you will take good care of her, and protect her, until her mind is thinking rationally again." Pandora immediately went up, and brought Christine down to the rest of us. I put my finger under her chin, and raised her eyes to meet my own, "Cherie, do not despair. None of this is your fault. Now go with Pandora, and heal yourself," and I softly kissed her. Then the five of them left, and I was alone with Armand and Gabriel e. "Let's get this mess cleaned up. We will gather all of the bodies in the house, and burn it to the ground. With any luck, the Talamasca will think that the others were trapped in the fire, and give them time to make a successful escape." We proceed d to do just that, and walked away together, leaving the flames climbing high into the night sky. We were all ravenously hungry by now, and feeding was foremost on our minds. Just like the old days...

So many things happened so quickly. As we were planning our defense, an evil entity entered Pandora's lair, and began to viciously atttack her. As she had instructed us, we joined our minds as one, and all concentrated on the spirit. As it materialized, I could clearly see the oily black aura that surrounded it. It was a male, and it had once been one of us. Then Pandora and Marius actually entered into the core of the thing, and it was utterly destroyed. It was magnificent! Such power! How I longed to learn to master such abilities. With Marius as my companion, and teacher, endless possibilities appeared before me. First, though, we must successfully escape to safety, from whatever other traps the Talamasca had in store for us.

Things went so fast. I couldn't escape from my friends, though I knew I should. Before I knew it though I was back in Pandora's hide out with vampires I hadn't even met yet! Suddenly I felt the presance of one of *them* - a loose spirit! And it attacked P ndora. The vampires destroyed it - or so we hoped. But all the same I couldn't help breaking into hysterics. "You see why I tried to leave?! This is all my fault! If not for me you all would be safe!" I knew I must look like a wild thing, my eyes wide and wild, I kept running my hands thru my hair, thinking of ripping it out. "You all would be better off without me." I said, softly, looking at a window. How high off the ground were we anyway? High enough that I could die by throwing myself out of the windo ? For their sake I should do it.

I wandered the streets looking for a place that sold some straps and chains and accoutrements for Jareds pleasure. I walked in the shop that I saw a Domme and her slave exit, but the slave looked a lot like the new vampire I met at Pandoras'. I kept a l nk with her and continued through the door, finding exactly what I wanted. I had an armload of chains, a riding crop, a cat o' nine tails and a collar. I convinced the owner to let me take what I had found, and I took some nectar from her luscious neck. Once on the street, I sensed danger. I felt Pandora, Marius, and another at the edges of my mind experience an attack. Marks scratched across Pandora's skin, and marks showed over her body. The attack was over just as soon as it had begun and I heard he voice of the woman, Lunadark, I had met earlier worry of her daughter. So this child wasn't at the house, could that have been her wansering the streets with the dominatrix? Still clutching my goods, I went in search of the little slave vampire.

I felt it coming towards the house before it hit. I had been *talking to Marius,Luna Dark and Claudia about joining our minds for strength*. One lesson I did learn from Akasha that was worth knowing was what Armand had called *One Powerful Mind*, as he ex lained it to Daniel. We were ready, though Christine was not. It hit me first, biting and clawing, an invisible force,seemingly without substance at first, then growing more visible as our minds concentrated fully on this being. It was too slow for four v mpires, and screamed out as we melded with it's mind to bring it down. A withering mass, it's howls incredible, it spit obscenities at us as the first wave of recognition hit me. This is an immortal soul! Our kind. I was aghast at this knowledge. *I know hat you are* my mind spat at him *Kyle! I know what you are! I know who you are!* He stopped struggling, the force of our minds holding him immoble, his true form showing through the ever changing mass of color that flowed around him like water. His eyes howing the insanity that had overtaken him during life and still held him in death.Marius and I pulled our minds into his, our energy vibrating the tables and lamps around us. The high pitched wail was unberable as Kyle burst into flame, shooting up to ce ling then bouncing with the sick resemblance of a childs ball, against the walls, stopping in the middle of the room, he gave one last whail and dissipated, leaving behind a sulfer odor and a dark patch of burnt blood on the carpet.

"Natalie, you objective flees," Kyle murmured as I atended to Frank. I had felt the other immortal's presence when he snuck into the townhouse. If I left now, how would I protect this boy? He was incredibly sick, but Kyle was right. If Pandora and the others left, my plan would be shot to hell. "Kyle, is there anyway you could distract them, perhaps prevent their flight?" "Need you ask?" he said countering my question as he left. He sent me what he saw, and soon enough Pandora's hide-out came into v ew. I saw him enter the house, the vampires arguing over their plans to escape. Fear painted Pandora's face, and I cursed not being there myself. I needed the satisfaction, yearned to see her yeild to the better advesary. Nat, stop dreaming!! W at could a mortal do against a creature like her? But I had survived. I grabbed the phone and dialed up Madison,"It's Mayfair. Has Wright come back yet?" "We are all here waiting for your command Mayfair." "Surround the house, but don't fire unless t ey try to leave or if they attack. I want every agent guarding that house." "We are in position, but there appears to be a lot of commotion coming from within. The lights are flashing uncontrolably." Kyle was attacking them. I could see the tiny red m rks marring Pandora's skin. Revenge was so sweet!

Suddenly, the mortal i thought was unconcious open the door and jumped out. STOP!!! i roared at the driver, jumping out myself as the taxi squealed to a halt. I saw the mortal, in a terrible condition, running off down an alley. He needed food water and r st! Dashinging into the MacDonalds nearby, i bought some of their flavourless products, and chased after the mortal. Outside a nearby house, i saw him being dragged through the door by... The other mortal!! both in the same house, this is fantastic. First things first, however - that male mortal needs care. as stealthily as i could manage, i crept into the house - follo ing the mortals up the stairs, where the woman started to care for the man. He was too sick to move - his latest efforts sapping him completely of energy. I decided to await the woman at the bottom of the stairs, so i could talk to her without disturbing he male.

Armand and I were unable to locate Gabrielle. I could only hope that she had made her way to the house, while we were out searching. We returned there, and indeed, I was relieved to find her impatiently awaiting our arrival. "Gabrielle, I am so glad th t you are safe." Again, I quickly explained the situation, then we sat down to brainstorm a plan of defense against the guaranteed attack of the Talamasca. It was my guess that they would attack at dawn, when they would expect to find us at our weakest. We must feed well this night, to preserve our strength.

Pandora had told me of her plans, and where she intended to hide, with all of our fellow immortals. She sent to me to find Gabrielle. I decided to start at the townhouse. There, I could also warn Louis, to prepare to leave at once. I was almost to the ront walk, when Armand approached from the other direction. "Come, old friend, help me to find Gabrielle. I will explain as we go." I took him by the arm, before he could protest, and we turned to head into the city. Louis would have to fend for himse f. I knew that Pandora did not intend to leave him behind. Claudia would never go without him, even though there seemed to be some new and deeper connection between her and Pandora. I did not quite understand it, but had no time to ponder it now, as we ushed through the city, hunting desperately for Gabrielle. As we walked, searching all of her favorite haunts, I hastily filled Armand in on all of the events, since he had left the city.

I woke later than usually, tired from the interesting events of the following night. I arrived at the house that Lestat had taken me to, just in time to see Claudia leaving, in pursuit of what looked like Lestat's mortal. Christine, was that her name? fter a moment of deliberation, I decided to make myself comfortable inside the house, after all, I'm sure that Claudia can take care of herself. Besides, if Christine was out, then Lestat would be after her soon. The one thing I can say for my strong wi led son is that he cares for his companions, mortal or immortal. Christine would be well taken care of. The blood lust began to tease at my senses, willing me to go hunt, I pushed it back, waiting for it to take a sharper edge. Tonight is a night to in ulge.

Christine, was that her name? fter a moment of deliberation, I decided to go after them, regardless of the intrusion. I followed Claudia a good distance, until we came to the train station, watching her bring Christine to Pandora and Lestat, and following them to Pandora's lair. I w lked inside a few minutes later. "I hope it's not too much of an imposition, but I couldn't allow myself to let Claudia and Christine run off alone." I made excuses as I stepped into a room crowded with immortals. Marius and a woman I had not met yet we e standing there along with the group that had accumulated after Christine.

I looked deeply into Marius' eyes, and replied, "Yes, my love, I want to know all of you. Think of the things that you can teach me, all the history to which you have been a witness. Let me relieve the lonliness that eats at your soul." He smiled at me and started to speak, but we were interrupted, as Pandora burst into the house, with Claudia, and a tear-stained Christine. Marius and I were clearly startled at their abrupt, and out of breath, appearance. We waited expectantly to hear Pandora's expla ation. She was nearly frantic, saying that we must leave immediately to a safe, and secret, destination. She asked me where Dierdre was, but I did not know. I only knew that she had gone out to rendezvous with some new friend, that she had met the prev ous night. I begged Pandora not to leave Dierdre behind. She was no match for the Talamasca, and their evil agents. We must find her!

Christine was hesitant, I could see in her eyes the fear and indecision. I didnt have time for it, non of us did. I looked from Lestat to Claudia to Christine, deciding enough was enough. Grabbing Christine by the hand tightly, I began walking, almost a r n for Christine, not looking back. I knew Claudia would keep up me, she does have my blood after all. I hailed a cab and shoved Christine inside, glaring at the driver as Claudia hopped in after me. Looking back, Lestat stood watching, a gleam in his eye. Go Lestat, go to Gabriell*. I gave the driver directions and within moments we had pulled up before my lair, the last safe house in New Orleans, which now was not safe. Dragging Christine behind me, we went in to find Marius and LunaDark. "Claudia, shut t e door and lock it. Do you know where Louis is?" Christine sat hunched down on the sofa, frightened. "Marius we have got to leave. Our only chance is to get out of New Orleans, get Christine to a safe place, a make a plan against Nat and her spirit.No one is to speak of our destination and shield your minds. Luna Dark, get your things together, where is your daughter?" I phoned Izu, making the nessecary plans to leave within the hour, feeling that wasnt quik enough.

Pandora took us from the restroom, telling us we had to leave. I did not fully understand why, surely the Talamasca did not stand a chance against so many immortals. I decided to trust her though, for she new more about them than I did. We left the train tation and headed toward Pandora's lair.

The agent called back informing me that Christine was practically surrounded by her fellow vampires. I still didn't want her to be harmed, especially if there was to be a confrontation. I stared at the sky with its shinning stars and the white orb claimi g to be the eye that watched over God's people. Such a gentle moon, alone and cold in an endless universe of misgivings. When I was younger, my father had mentioned joining NASA as an astronaut. He loved it so much, and he had hated the fact that I had 't enjoyed the same passions. When I was a little older, a while after their death, I used to blame myself because I had failed at being daddy's little girl. Ah David, you had been there to change my mind, my father. How I missed him. I missed his stren th, the vast knowledge he used to surprise me, to give me that same desire to travel. I used to curse the part of me that longed to live the life of a romantic. David had claimed my fantasies would lead to my undoing, and yet here I stood in New Orleans, the city of dreams. Was I meant to die here, or perhaps I was meant to survive and bring harmony back into the Talamasca. I heard Kyle laugh, and I joined in on his merriment. The Talamasca was probably lost, and not even David would be able to rebuild it. The phoenix has lost its immortality. And yet, why did I stay? I knew the organization was corrupt, otherwise people like the former Superior General would not have such power. Oh David, I think humanity is lost. A tiny speck of light sped cross the ebony sky, bringing me back from my thoughts. The night itself was so peaceful, the calm before the store. I brushed a few strands away from my hair. "Pandora plans to move the coven, doesn't she?" I asked him. Kyle materialized wearing a bl ck jacket and jeans, offsetting his pale hair, "She may move her clan, but I'll know where they'll move. They can not hide their presence. Nor can you." I smiled back at him, laughing silently at his remark. I knew I couldn't escape him, but I wasn't oing to let that from stopping me. I opened the door but then I heard Frank moaning behind me. I found him doubled over, his clothes tattered and smelly. I grabbed his arm and whispered to him to stay calm. Kyle disappeared, probably going off to torm nt Pandora some more. I led the Asian boy to an upstairs room, stripping off his clothes as I lay him on the bed. He was horribly weak, his gaunt face staring back at me. I asked the servant to call a doctor as I covered him with the sheets. "You're s fe here Frank." How had he escaped the immortal? I didn't matter. I grabbed a chair and sat next to the bed, waiting for him to speak.

The lock snapped on the stall door as I pushed it open."Christine, you must come with us, you have no choice." She looked up at me, startled, tears flowing her cheeks as Claudia stood with her. A smile came to me as I gazed at Claudia, my deadly conspirat r and my one true love, the only immortal I would ever consider dying for and protect at all costs."Christine, you are a mortal, and though I am not fond of mortals in a general sense, I am fond of you, and right now you are in extreme danger! We all are! Taking her hand, I led her out of the stall and over to the sink area, Claudia following. "Both of you must listen very carefully now. The Talamasca will be sending their people some time soon, that is inevitable. We all know this. They will believe it o r doing that the SG is dead and they will not see their own fault in the deaths and destruction that has happened in the last week. Nat will not give up." Putting my hands on Claudia's shoulders"Claudia, I know you feel a bond with Nat mayfair, but she does not feel one with you and would not hesitate to kill you. She is coniving and evil, as Armand was evil in the past. Do you understand that Claudia?" An lder woman came into the room and glanced at Claudia and myself, a disapproving look on her face, then she entered the stall and locked the door. I took Christine and Claudia's hand and led them out of the room into the busy bus terminal, glancing about f r Lestat. I spotted him leaning against a pay phone, eyeing the young male prostitutes who made this their bussiness office."Christine" I whispered to her, "You are not a burden to us, you are a part of us now! Because of your love for Lestat and your loy lty to him and to our kind. Please, trust me to get you to saftey!" The four of us walked out into the heavy air of the night, the fumes from the buses almost overwhelming to my senses. I whispered to Lestat where I planned on taking Christine and Claudia and the others, assuming I could find them. He nodded to me in agreement and we were off to my lair to find Marius and LunaDark.

I was layin in the backseat, my nose rubbing against a pair of slacks. i touched the crease and saw the dead guy from the trash can, so not only did he shove me a garbage can, but now he's thrown me on the ground and in the back of a smelly cab. I began moaning and sitting up, touching my head and looking out the window. The car was going about 35 mph, and we were almost out of the business district. It would hurt like hell, but I'm already there so what the fuck. I grabbed for the door, opened it and leaped out. I rolled to rest near the curb. My knees scraped and bleeding, my hand hurt like a son of a bitch. I problably broke it. I stumbled to my feet and ran around down the street, not looking back, knowing it would only slow me down and cause m to trip. I began to feel weird again, like in the trash can and I saw that chick from the hospital. Only this time she had a gun, and then I was just running through the streets the fastest I'd ever run. And the next thing I knew I was standing in fro t of a house...I doubled over on the ground and threw up the little food i had left in my stomach. **Natalie...it's me from the hospital...I need help...Natalie** Then everything went black and i felt a coldness on my cheek.

I looked up as Claudia spoke to me. I knew she was there, of course, but I had hoped she was just here to laugh. "I heard Pandora and Lestat talking.I realized how selfish I am. If I stay you all are in danger." I wiped away my tears, though more were com ng swiftly. "You may not believe it but they do have ways of killing you, even the oldest ones." Very softly I whispered, "I've seen them do it. I couldn't bear to let them hurt you." I looked at her, such a beautiful woman-child. "I couldn't bear to be t e cause of your death. It's better for me to go. For your sake, and Louis', and Lestat's." Did she understand this? That I was doing this because I loved them all so much that I couldn't bear to bring any pain or death into their lives....

I stopped playing abruptly when Christine ran out of the town house. Where was she going I wondered. Even better, why was she going? I was not fond of Christine, but I could not help but wonder. I silently followed her to the train station. What was she d ing? She bought a ticket, and then I saw Lestat who had obviously come to get her back. Had they had a fight? A lovers quarl perhaps. Christine ran into the bathroom seeking shelter, and I followed her. She locked herself into a stall, and I could hear he sobbing. I went into the open stall next to hers, and being so small of stature, easily crawled under the dividing wall into her stall. I had grown used to her presence, and I wanted to know. " Why are you leaving?" I asked her.

The Devil's Island had lost its charm once more, for I had spent many a night wandering around, watching the vacationers. It was time to get away.

Where to go? Perhaps I should return to New Orleans and drop by Lestat and Louis again - I might luck ut and avoid that blasted infernal child vampire Claudia this time. But I think I'll try something different this time: I'll stay at the Royal Sonesta Hotel on Bourbon Street. Ah, good, their best suite at the tower level is available. I asked that the arrange for a limo to pick me up at the commuter airport and gave them the typical instructions so that I would not be disturbed during my day's sleep; the hint at a bonus for good behaviour helped. Now, off to my plane.

The flight was uneventful a d the limo was there waiting on the tarmac (there's nothing better than good service). After loading up my coffin (doubles as a trunk), we roared off to the hotel. Not a bad place - I should of tried this before. But daybreak would be soon, and so I bi my concierge a good day with a nice tip. The smile I received in return (and his thoughts) told me that I was in a good place.

But before I laid down to sleep, I grabbed out my address book, picked up the phone, and dialed Louis and Lestat's number. br>

I cradled the phone in my arms, not quite sure how to react about my orders. Kill the vampires responsible for the General's death. The opportunity gleamed like a bright star in the sky, and I knew then that this was my chance for revenge. My han absently reached for my neck, seeking the healed wounds that Lestat had inflicted. I thought about Pandora and a grin surfaced on my face. If there was one vampire who deserved my undying attention, it would be her. We had a score to settle and this as ignment was the perfect chance to accomplish what I was desperately desiring. I went back into the townhouse, laying the phone on a desk as I opened the drawer. Inside lay a shiny black Magnum, armed and ready to use at my command. Not that it would ha m my enemies but it might startle them long enough for my plan to work. I dialed Madison's number as I placed the gun at my waist, hidden by my green long-sleeved blouse and jeans. "Madison!" "It's Mayfair. I'm assuming you've received your orders." We're ready when you are Mayfair. Just give the command and our agents will swarm Pandora's hide-out." "No, not yet. I need you to send Wright on a little job for me. I need him to find any agent with strong mind powers. If we rely on just our streng h, Lestat and his clan will easily overpower us. If Wright can gather those agents, they might be able to distract the vampires long enough to strike with our weapons." "What about Lestat?" "Leave him to me. I have someone who might just be able to dea with him," I said as Kyle materialized in front of me. You turned out to be more helpful than I expected. He smiled at me and bowed his head,Anything for you my Mayfair, but I'll want something in return. "You'll have my graditude. That's all I'll give," I whispered as he disappeared. At least I hoped he would accept just that, but the part that feared was the part of me that knew I would be paying for more than just graditude. Oh Rowan, I wish you were here to help me with this spirit. But I knew she wouldn't come. She and Michael were closing some business transactions in California. "Mayfair, we just spotted Christine leaving the compound. What should We do?" Christine! Images of that night resurfaced as if they had just ocurred nd a shiver raced up my spine. There were some things I wished I could erase and that was one of them, but I knew I could make it up to her. "Madison, grab a few of your agents and aprehend Christine, but don't harm her in any way. I want you to put her on the next plane to California. Make sure she gets to her parents safetly. And whatever you do, don't let anything harm her." At least I wouldn't have to worry about her safety. I checked my watch. It was a quarter after midnight. "Madison, we strik at dawn."

I opened my eyes to a faint cry...and the bed squeeked overhead. **Do not move, my son...** And then the room was silent. I moved about the room silently and made my preperations. I looked at Jared, so peaceful in a state of angst. His face was covere in tears and his mouth was raw from where the tie had chafed him during the night. His left leg was twitching, as though cramping and this brought a shudder to my body as I remembered my first time stretched out on Juvinis' bed. I sat on the bed and slo ly rubbed the cramp from his leg, kissing away the pain. "Would you like something to eat or drink? I'm going out for a time." Jared shook his head and gurgled no. I slowly untied his body from the bed and kissed the marks left by the ties, the gooves o red surged to the surface and I fought against taking him now here in the middle of the bed. I went back to the closet and found some belts, much stronger. Once again, cradling his body in my arms, I took him to the footboard of the bed. With the belt I tied his legs to the foot board, one around each ankle, one at the knee and finally one at thigh level. With his hands free, he would be able to escape, this couldn't happen so I took the ties and tied his hands behind his back. My tied man, was trus ed and waiting for his torture. I stepped up to him after gazing at his beautiful body and as I pierced his other nipple with my fangs, I removed the black tie from his eyes. Kissed them and left the room. My parting glance as I shut the door was of hi head falling forward, his long brown hair falling about his shoulders. And I shut the door

I had my ticket in my hand, I didn't even know where I was going, when I heard Pandora in my head. I looked at them, tears in my eyes. **I'm sorry - All I've done is cause trouble. I can't let them hurt you because of me.** I tried to blend in with the cr wd, tears streaking my face. The sight of Lestat shattered my heart. Part of me wanted to run to him, another part told me I had to leave, that if I really loved him I would go before the Talamasca hurt him, because if they really wanted to they could, an still another part longed for Lestat to carry me back by force and lock me in my room, to remain completely under his thumb. I am a submissive person and had it not been rape I probably would have enjoyed being the SG's sex slave. With Lestat though, I l nged to be his captive. Still, I also longed to see him and his loved ones safe. What if the Talamasca attacked? They could kill Claudia or Louis just to hurt Lestat. I went into the ladies restroom, having no place else to hide. It was empty which was go d. Locking myself into a stall I sobbed. I would never love anyone as much as I loved Lestat. Which was why I had to go. Really. If I didn't he could end up hurt and it would be all my fault!

Luna snuggled up in my lap and lay her head against my chest. I wrapped my arms about her protectively. She felt so small in my arms. In life I had been fairly large of build in nature and she was naturally small and fragile in appearance. I ran my finger through her long hair. "Ah, Luna", I said to her,"It is so good to have someone care. I have always had to be the caregiver, the strong one, but if only you knew what you are planning on getting into. Ive seen a lot of things in my time on this earth, fe of then good. Are you really ready to try and delve into those memories that I can sense you are so interested in?"

No hesitation, we flew to the station, arrivaing only moments after she.**"Christine, you must stay"** My thought flowed into her, and she turned toward us. I turned to Lestat, knowing that he would bring her back, by force if nessecarry.

I awoke to find the mortal asleep near me. Checking his pulse, i found that it was very weak. Wrenching the lid back into its proper position, i opened the bin and clambered out, the prone body of the man over my shoulder. Leaving the man in the alley, I hailed a taxi, used a little of my power on the driver, and got the mortal in with me. I then nstructed the driver to take me home - this mortal will need some food and drink, and some rest.

After Jared opened the door to his apartment, I grabbed his hands and held them behind his back. I led him to his bedroom and he didn't put up any resistance. His eyes watered at the joy of this opportunity to serve such a strong man, and I smiled as I eard these thoughts bounce around inside his head. I picked him up in my arms and lay him gently in the center of the bed, slowly removing his clothes. My lips passed over his body with silky expertise and when he was totally naked I bid him to remain u til I returned. He closed his eyes as I turned away from him. I found his closet and took several silk ties. When I approached the bed I saw that he had been crying, although I hadn't heard a sound escape his lips. I swept over his body once more, fea ing on the tears around his face. I tied his wrists to the headboard and his ankles at the foot, kissing his mouth hard, but passionate and then pulling a red and purple paisley tie over his mouth. Jared was in a state of ecstasy, and he didn't want it o end. Time was moving much faster than I had known, and I could sense the people getting ready for work...the sun close to rising on the horizon. I walked through the house, locked the front door and shut all the drapes. I sat on the bed beside him, ge ting ready to put the last tie over his eyes, I just wanted a little sip of this slave before I went to sleep, and so I pierced his nipple with my fangs and drank a bit from there. His eyes fluttered in exquisite pain and pleasure as I lowered the black ilk over his baby blues. I looked at what I had achieved and celbrated my conquest, knowing that I will perfect this with Tom. I slid under the bed and closed my eyes, thinking aloud to my captive above, **Do, not think of escaping...I am here watching ou, and tonight you will experience the most sensual peace of your life.**

I felt that Pandora was overreacting, and I told her so. "Surely it will take some little time for the Talamasca to regroup, after the loss of the S.G., and those others. Besides, you yourself have just noted all of the *outsider* immortals, suddenly in ading our fair city. The Talamasca can not hope to wound us, with so many of our kind gathered in one place. They don't have the strength, or force of numbers. It is only a certain rebellious faction that wants to destroy us, after all. Most of the me bers want to keep to their original purpose: observation and record keeping. I will admit that it is a very dangerous faction, but I do not believe that they pose any serious threat to our safety. They are only mortals, after all, if you will forgive my arrogance. This entity that you sensed, on the other hand, is worrisome. I have, in the past, heard of such creatures, associated with those Mayfair witches. If one of them has attached itself to Natalie, then she has become a threat, and must be dealt ith, as I have stated from the beginning, despite the fact that Claudia regards her as some sort of personal pet. We must learn all that we can about what this creature could be, and the exact nature, and extent, of it's powers," I paused, "As to the mat er of your personal story, it is your choice to make. I only promised to put the matter before the other immortals of my acquaintance. If Armand were here, I would indeed have consulted him, and given him the first choice of refusal. I will convey your regrets, but will give you the mortal's number, should you change your mind." I was growing more distracted by the second. Something in the house was not right. It was... Christine. I couldn't sense her prescence anymore. I waited impatiently for Pand ra to conclude our meeting, so that I could attend to my personal affairs.

The sweet ache between my throbbing loins satisfied for now. I bathed and dressed - this time in a black leather mini dress that showed more then it covered. Then I headed out to meet that lovely young girl from last night. Tonight we would play our game. And if she didn't like it - crack.

I was going to talk to Lestat as soon as I heard his voice downstairs, but when I peeked I saw Pandora with him having a very serious conversation. The S. G. and the Talamasca came up. God, I was so selfish. Here I was, staying in the townhouse, not think ng of the danger I could bring down on everyone's heads. There was only one thing to do before things got worst, I had to leave. Now. Tonight. I sighed and went upstairs, chaning into more suitable clothing for running and leaving my new clothes on the be . I wrote a letter to my beloved Lestat, explaining how I couldn't bare being the cause of any trouble for him or his family. Many tears stained this letter. I had to take what money was left from what he gave me, vowing to someday pay him back. Then I cl mbed down the trelis outside my window and headed up the street. Sobbing. This was for the best, really. Without me around the Talamasca would leave Lestat and the others alone. They wouldn't dare attack him or the others - not if I was gone. "David, damn it, where are you?" I whispered to myself. The man had a hand in my upbringing after all. And no one knew the Talamasca the way he did. If he was here it might have been possible to stay with Lestat for he'd know how to beat them. The only others who coul help would be the Queens of the Damned themselves. For two such powerful vampires could destroy the whole lot of them in one fell swoop. I turned my feet towards the nearest bus station. Deep down, though I knew this was for the best, I hoped Lestat woul come walking into that station before my bus arrived and take me back to the townhouse by force. Maybe even lock me in my room like a prisoner. I didn't want to leave him. I had to. For his, Louis, and Claudia's sakes. Before the Talamasca came and actua ly destroyed them.

I left Pandora's lair, and went out into the night. I found some some poor mortal to feed on, and then I went to see if Cleopatra would meet would meet me. I had my doubts, but one never knows.I arived at out apointed meeting place, and then I waited.

Looking at Lestat in utter amazement, I could only shake my head. "I think Daniel did well enough in the first publication, don't you?" Pacing the room, all I could think of was Nat and that she had something to do with what happened this evening."Lestat, you realize that we are all in grave danger from the Talamasca and Natalie Mayfair. There is something else happening here, some kind of entity, for lack of any other word, has made it's presence known to all of us, and it made it's way here with Nat!." I sat down, trying to stress to him the severity of this situation. "One of my gaurds were killed by this thing within the last week, and I and Marius were both attacked on two occasions. Then tonight, when I awoke, I believe it was in my chamber, *watching me*! as I slept. It turned on the table lamp and waited for me to wake up! I saw it in the corner almost take the complete shape of a man then disapear." I watched his face to see any register of the panic that I was begining to feel. "The SG is dead,and o are all in the Talamasca's Oak Haven outside of New Orleans, and I am glad, that is one less of them to deal with, but there is still Nat, and Christine is in danger, Lestat, real danger, as we are!" Pausing, I went to the window, pushing back the drape to look out on the street."There are other immortals here, in New Orleans. Ones we have not met up with in the past. Why do you suppose, all of the sudden they would almost be flocking here? Can you feel them? I am afraid Lestat, really afraid, and I shou dn't be. It seems we are all being gathered to this one spot for a reason, one that I am convinced Nat Mayfair knows of." Sighing I sat back into the sofa, feeling drained from all the events that had taken place since Christina's arrival."About the book estat, I would have to say no to a mortal, that is dangerous, and we have enough of that right now. If David were here, I would agree to him writing it, but he isn't here and neither is Armand, who should have a say in any more books being written." ***Lo king up at him I waited for his response.***

Shortly after I arose, before I was even able to seek out my Christine, I heard Pandora calling to me. Time to face the music, and explain about the S.G. I would try to deflect her, by telling her of my meeting with the mortal author. I went down to gre t her, "Bon soir, ma chere amie, are you feeling fully restored this evening? I have a proposal to put to you." Without letting her interrupt, or distract me, I told her of the woman, who wanted to document our histories. "She is the same one who told ouis's version of our lives, and helped me to publish the truth about myself, and my various adventures. What do you think? Shall you share yourself with the mortal world?" I believe that, for a moment, I actually rendered her speechless. Then I could see that she was seriously considering the idea. What would her decision be? Would it grant me vindication for my actions, or more condemnation?

I awoke just as the last rays of the setting sun were kissing goodnight to the day. It is my favorite time, with the rich vibrant colors of the dying light reflecting off the dome of the sky. I sensed at once that Marius had already arisen. I knew, as ne of the old ones, that he needed a minimum of sleep. I went to seek him out, and found him reading in a room downstairs. I slipped up behind him, and slid my arms around his neck, resting my cheek against the top of his head. His soft hair felt like silk next to my skin. I placed my palm upon his cheek, and he turned into my hand, and kissed the sensitive center. A shiver of pure sensation ran through my suddenly heated body. He then tipped his face up to me, and smiled, which lit his face, but did not touch that soul deep sadness in his eyes. How I longed to erase that emotion, and replace it with joy, and peace. Never before had I encountered an individual more alone than Marius, even when he was in the company of others of our kind. I came aro nd the front of the chair, laid his book on the nearby table, and sat down on his lap, snuggling as close to his chest as I could. He tightened his arms around me, and I raised my head, and kissed him, with all my tangled feelings pouring out of me, and nto him. When at last our lips parted, I took his face in both of my hands, and looked deeply into his eyes. "Marius," I spoke softly, "Will you let me love you?" I awaited his response, filled with new hope for both of us.

I awoke in Louis' arms just after sun set. I opened the lid to his coffin and climbed out. I walked into the parlor where I sat down at the piano, where I began to play a lovely tune to which I did not know the words. I was certain that there were some, b t I just could not remember them. I wish that I could.

After spending most of the morning sun bathing I went shopping. I found a little store that sold what I was looking for. The poor young man's face as I bought all the whips and chains, not to mention the rack, the cuffs, the flavored oils, some little dev ce that will subsitute when I couldn't find a man to fullfill my lust for sex. He was even more surprised when I invited him to my place. I needed the practice after all, and while he couldn't fill my pockets he could more then cool the heat blazing betwe n my thighs. I bathed when I went home, perparing for him. His face when I answered the door nude except for the thigh cuffs. And when I attached his slave collar to them he grew so excited. His tongue was strong and well practiced. When I was thru forcin him to taste me over and over I strapped him down, putting the ball gag into his mouth. Those delicous cries as I whipped him, those lovely whimpers as I penatrated his anus with the vibrator, when I wrapped my mouth around his large and lovely organ I c uld hear him screaming against the gag in extasy. Tormenting him with my tongue. Finally, after doing these things to him, only to pull away before he could reach his pinicle, I straddled him and took him slowly into myself. Riding him until he and I coul n't take it a moment longer. I let this one go, alive he was of more use to me. After all, it wouldn't be long before I lusted again and if I couldn't find anyone to fill both my lust and my pockets at least I could have him to fill the one. Sex is such a wonderful tool.

I woke up again mid afternoon. Getting up I did all those little mortal things. Thankful my monthly cycle was nearing it's end. I went out and with Lestat's money bought myself something to eat then I got some things like toothbrushes and toothpaste. I we t back to the townhouse to check something - there was no working refridgerator, so storing things like eggs was out. I spent a couple of hours washing out the cupboards and such, then I went out and brought some canned goods and some pots and pans. Later unless Lestat decided that I was to give up my mortal coil, I'd ask him if he'd give me enough to buy a fridge. I wondered if I could call my parents. I missed my family something fierce. But then again, maybe it would be best if they thought me dead. I ad a new family here after all. If Louis and Claudia would accept me, that was. While I was out, I passed a shop and saw something I just couldn't resist. One of those poet's shirts, with the dipping neckline and flared sleeves. I went in and bought it al ng with a loose fitting black vest and a new pair of black jeans. There was even enough for a pair of black, soft-leather boots. Being nearly sundown I went to my room, bathed again, and dressed in my new clothes. I hoped Lestat would approve.

She was standing over me, watching me as I slept.A strand of hair crept across her cheek and she brushed it back slowly. She held something behind her back, something cold and evil. She moved closer to the bed and leaned forward, smiling. I awoke with a s art. Blood sweat beginning to form on my brow and my palms. Shit! another damn dream. I sat up on the edge of the bed, breathing deeply, looking about the room. The hairs on the back of my neck standing on edge, movement caught my eye. Shadows had began f rming in the corners of the room and the light shed from the small table lamp on the dresser made them even more menecing. The gaurd must have come in while I slept and turned it on. The corner came alive for an instant, a quivering gray matter forming in o the shape of a man, then disapearing. I felt fear for the first time in many years, the sort that commands your emotions and turns your limbs to lead, forcing you to face it straight on. Sqiunting my eyes glared into the corner, with trmbling legs I mov d to door and flipped the light switch up, the room flooded with soft light from the overhead. Nothing. Nothing is there. Only the chair with a blue robe lying across the seat. Laughing at myself and shaking the sleep and the dream off, I stepped into the heat of the shower. Dressed i went down to the kitchen to find Jack Lombardo sitting at the table having a cup of coffee. He nodded to me as I surveyed the room. "Jack, I want to thank for looking in on me while I slept." I turned to refrigerator, taking ut the long metal box which contained the small vials of blood I used to reward my gaurds. Selecting one I turned to find him staring at me in anodd way."What? Is something wrong?" I set the vial down in front of him and as he held it in his hand he spoke I didnt come into your chamber Maam, I would never do that unless instructed to do so." "You turned the bedside lamp on, it was on when I awoke" "No Maam, I didnt." The feeling of sinking came over me, but I could not show this fear to one of my gaurds"Oh , well I must have left it on and forgot then." "Yes Maam" "Well good evening Jack, keep an extra eye on the place tonight will you? Watch out for any thing unusual" I arrived at the town house a little after 8 pm and the lights were shining through every window. God, Lestat! I wonder what he spent on candles! Knocking, I called out to the open window of the second floor gallery**"Lestat, its Pandora. We need to talk.**

This Luna Creature intregued me. She was very young but she had a power to her I could not quite figure out. There was more to her story than just being a new vampire. Not only that but she seemed to sincerely care about me. That didn't happen to often. I was not much like the other vampires and so I never quite fit in with them. It never truly bothered me. I had spent so many years alone with only the mother and the father that I was used to solitude, but just recently I had desired the company of another Perhaps this Luna creature would be the one to sate my needs for awhile. I lay in my coffin, now fairly unnecessary(sp?) but still a comfort to me. Sleep took me quickly.

I had been running, not sure where I was going, only to end up pinned in the corner of an alley. No exit and no where to go. "I'm fucked." And then I saw that dead guy from the hospital. I tried to get by him, but he picked me up and threw me in one o those big garbage cans. It stinks and I can't get out. I made a blanket of an old bag and sat squeezed in the corner, as far away from the dead thing as i could get. As i shut my eyes I felt a pulling sensation. Then I was being shoved into that rail ng near the river and i can feel this guy pressing his body against me and it's weird cuz, I feel everything, but im like standing to the side and see this figure pressed against me. I thought he wanted to do me so I was moving my butt back and forth. T is dark man was leaning into me telling me he was gonna take me, but not that way and then he sank his teeth into my neck. I lifted my hand to my neck and felt the nubs of flesh and saw my body sink to the ground. I had been fighten...I didn't want to d e..."I'm not ready to die..." I croaked out. The man looked down at my silent body and whispered something like..."You were lucky this time, Kid." And then he licked my neck and walked away. I looked at the ground where I had lay and then I opened my e es and all I saw was a small dot of sun where a screw had been at one time. then i knew I really was fucked. I crawled across the heaps of trash, my foot sliding in an unknown substance, to the dead guy. I looked at him and tried to smell him and as I p t my hand on his wrist I knew what he was. and I knew what that guy was at the river...and I knew I was the prisoner of a Vampire in a garbage can in the middle of a hot day in New Orleans. Forget being fucked, I'm cooked.

All the others had left, leaving me alone once more with Claudia. I looked over at her, sighing in disdain over the scene Lestat had made with Christine. I simply couldn't understand his love of mortals. I'd actually tried to reason through it before, and the only conclusion I could come to was that he felt the need to control another being, and mortals were far easier to control than other vampires. It made sense... I probably could have dwelled on this for hours to come, knowing myself, but dawn was appr aching. Once more, I looked to Claudia, and said "Care to join me this morning?" as I stood, hoping she'd follow.

The mortal stood before me, not answering, seemingly struck dumb by my presence. I was feeling a little drowsy.... No! I must not sleep here!. Slinging the mortal over my shoulder, I streaked into the nearest one of those massive bins full of Garbage, clo ing the lid and warping the metal from the inside to prevent its being opened by anyone lacking my strength or a blow-torch.The mortal wouldnt like it - being stuck in here all day - but there was enough air to breathe, and i couldnt let him out of my sig t. That other one, the female - she would have to wait. Then there were no more thoughts as I drifted into utter blackness, the hoarse sounds of the panicking man haunting me as i drifted off...
