I couldn't wait to test my new powers, but Lestat wanted to hunt leisurely. It was hard not to jump and climb - and most of all, sing. I wanted to see how I sounded when I sung now. I heard things I never heard before. Heartbeats of mortals. Ringing sweet y in my ears. Then I heard a faint cry for help. I took Lestat's hand and lead him towards it. A couple of punk kids were roughing up an old lady who was half-blind. I didn't understand what they were saying, but I could guess it was not "Let us help you, ma'am." I left Lestat and went towards them. "Hello, boys." I hissed softly. Just enough to get their attention. They looked up at me, I smiled, revealing my fangs. The blood drained from their faces and they started to fun. I threw a smile to Lestat and arted down after them. Appearing before them and watching them freak. One tried to make his arms into a cross. I laughed and grabbed him up in a dance, leaving the other for Lestat. "You dance devinely, my dear." I said to the struggling boy. I kissed him deeply, sucking his tongue into my mouth. I bit into it and drank, but it wasn't enough. I tore into the skin of his throat, guzzling down the blood. Letting the wonderous life fill me. I released the body, wondering where to dispose of it. Lifting it up on my shoulders, I began to climb up the side of an abandoned looking building. I let his body on the roof, tore off his shirt and used it to clean my face. I took his money, I might as well have a little cash, after all. Then I jumped back down and went o see if Lestat had taken the other or the old woman.

I woke early from my day's sleep, worried, and restlesss. I paced the floor of the lovely room in which I'd slept. My back ached from the strain of sleeping in a coffin. They are so distasteful, but without the comfort of mother earth in which to sleep they are better than nothing. I stretched my senses to their very limit, feeling nothing. Wary and watchful, I reached with my mind directly for Nicholas, feeling his presence in the distance. Involuntary images of the night before flooded my mind, an the torture that he and this woman, who was immortal but not vampire, had committed on fragile beings. I retreated, quickly steadying myself.

The next evening Santino left for New Orleans. No sign of Kyle since we had left him writhing in pain, or anguish. I wasnt sure which at this point. The others seemed non effected by the events that had taken place, nor were they concerned about future da ger from Nat and Kyle, or the Talamasca for that matter. Santino would return, I knew this, but in my heart I felt a morose so deeply that tears welled and fighting to keep them at bay kissed him deeply, holding him for a moment longer than he had held me Lestat took Christine out to feed and the others had made their way into the country side surrounding our small cottage to look for victims and explore. I searched the house for Gabriel.

I shared Armand's coffin with him. It showed foresight on Pandora's part, that she thoughtfully provided quarters big enough for two. At sunset, we awoke, and after sharing a passionate embrace, we went out to hunt.

I awoke at twilight, refreshed and restored to my full strength. I sat, pensive, and watched my Christine as she slept. Had I done the right thing? Only time would tell. Would she grow to hate and resent me, as my dear Nicki had? Would she continue t seek her own destruction? Would she blame me, and claim to prefer the true death, as Louis had? Although he had never acted on his foolish claims, he had hated me for a time, as well. Or would she embrace the dark gift, as our little Claudia had, in th beginning? I shook off such melancholy thoughts, as I am not one to doubt long my own decisions and actions. I looked around the small room, the shadows were overtaking the corners, and I almost fancied that I could see writhing forms within that darkn ss. The human face of Memnoch briefly flashed through my mind. I frowned. Why should he come to me now? I had thought myself eternally free of his unwanted and unsought advances. What near magical charm did I possess, that such powerful beings should desire me for their companions? With Akasha, I could have ruled the world as her prince consort, and with Memnoch, I could have shared the realm of the dead. Would I never find peace? I thought back over the course of my mortal, and undead, life. Such musings are rare for me, and I came to no satisfactory conclusions. I prefer to live for the moment, the here and now, today. The past is dead, and not even Memnoch can turn back time. Could he make the dead live again? Gabrielle had sworn that she ha heard Nicki speaking to her. My thoughts were interrupted as Christine awoke at last, and looked around for me. I smiled at the hungry anticipation that lit her eyes. Perhaps, at last, I had found my true companion. "Come, ma chere, let us amuse ours lves with a leisurely hunt tonight. It is quite safe here." I took her soft hand, and raised it to my lips, before grinning my most wolfish grin at her. She smiled back, revealing her newly grown fangs, and I saw her run her tongue over them in appreci tion. We departed the house, without running into any of the others. Good, I was in no mood for idle chatter.

The tap-tap scribbling brought me out of my daze. I glanced at Frank as he wrote his letter, wondering how much he understood the current situation. He sealed the letter and placed it near him so that he wouldn't forget it later. I stood and headed towa ds the back of the plane, cursing my rashnes with every step. I had taken this poor boy from his home, his family! He was on his way to a distant land with no friends at his side to accompany him. I couldn't promise him a happy life, the same life I ha led growing up an orphan. But David had been there. Would he be there now? The top positions in the Talamasca wanted the vampires annhialated. I wondered if this miniature beauracracy even realized how dangerous a demand they asked to be accomplished? Lestat slipped right through my fingers and disappeared along with the rest. They were almost like chameleons, able to blend in with any situation that just so happened to occur. I didn't stand a chance against them, but it didn't mean I wouldn't try. The vampires will come to regret the day they fucked me over. I never go down without a fight, and since I was still standing, it meant all the more my sweet revenge. I let go of my frustration and walked back over to Frank. "I have a proposition for yo , Frank. One I think you might appreciate," I said sitting down next to him. I took his hand in my own, gently running my fingers over his soft skin, hearing the dull patter of his heart increase in speed as I looked into his eyes. I smiled at him and owered my voice,"I can help you become Talamasca, show you how to use your powers to defend yourself....perhaps even fight back against the one who did this," I grazed his neck with my fingers as he nervously shifted in his seat,"I can make you powerful i you want, but in return...Help me destroy the vampires. We could be invincible you and I. No one would ever want to fuck with us. You know what I mean?" I asked innocently moved closer to him, up to the point were our faces almost touched. The plane egan to land.

A dull ache surrounded my head and I groaned as my eyes slowly began to open. My hands searched and felt the soft silk of the sheets I had been laying on, they radiated a coolness, fresh and sweet. I glanced at the room, radically different from the hot l room Nicholas and I had stayed in last night. The room was adorned with Victorian furniture, their condition perfect, as if they had been suspended in time the moment they were made. I stood from the four poster bed, glancing at the clothes I wore, a ight, sleeveless, black, dress whose skirts grazed the floor. I walked over to the mirror, stared at my reflection as I turned, studying the tiny laces tying the back of the dress. Vague music seeped through a crack in the wall, a brilliant waltz for a w dding couple. Where was I, and why was I dressed like this? My hand reached up and played with my black curls that hung loose around my pale shoulders. Only my mouth, the full red lips displayed any color. I could here the cheerful music, yet I felt a if I were dressed for a funeral, all in black but somewhat too revealing. I stepped over to the door, resting my fingers on the silver knob as it slowly turned. The door opened and I walked out into the corridor, equaly furnished with tapestries and st tues not of this time. It reminded me of Venice and the coming out parties. It was the same music, louder now than it had been inside the room. I swore I could hear the same gayish laughter, the innocent flirtacious remarks. Would I see the same faces I continued down the corrider until I came upon two oak doors. A yellowish light escaped from beneath the wood and I gasped as I heard the laughter, the sweeping music. I could almost taste the sweet pasteries served at my own party, the only one befo e my wedding. My hands moved involuntarily as they reached out towards the room, the doors crashing open. All I did was gasp. The room was empty, except for a young man standing in the middle room. It was Kyle. "I'm so happy you could join me Lorena. We never had time to get aquainted."

Nicholas nodded, it would be best for her to go home. He kissed her on the cheek "Be careful of other vampires, they are gone from this city now, but they don't share my sense of humor." He warned her, waving goodbye. He walked to the hotel, wondering i Lekaire would be there befor sunrise. ...The room was empty, he frowned. He sat down on the bed, he was abit tired, sleep, yes that would be good. He glanced at the violin, would him and Lekaire make their music afterall? He layed down, closing his ey s. The sun came up in it's glory, and the evil was put to rest for the day...

"How I wish Ramses' elixer had given me mental powers long with this cursed immortality. It might make it more bearable. More fun." I said to Nikki as we walked to his hotel. I spoke of Egypt as I remembered it. The Gods we worshiped and how we worshiped hem. How people were wrong when they claimed we didn't use slaves but farmers to build our tombs of glory. Oh, we used slaves alright. If one would only take apart those stones they would find the powered bones of slaves crushed between them. I told him a out the cats and how regal and beautiful they were. I told him of my many lovers. Of Ramses before I died. I told him of my suicide and how it felt to feel the poison in my blood. "I should go home. My cats need to be fed and the servants can't be trusted to do it. Most likely they'll eat it themselves. Lamb meat is rather expensive."

Another Night Club, another slaughter, on the way there Cleopatra had talked of ancient Egypt the way it was when she was alive, he looked around at the few remaining mortals that were alive, Cleopatra was already at work finishing them off. He was busy, counting all the events up to when Lekaire had disappeared. From the start to end and end to start, just trying to think of where she could be. In his thoughts he had come across something else, insanity or sanity, he had been wieghing that for awhile. He looked at the masterpeice, a work of art he mused to himself. He got off the chair he had been sitting on. A disgrace to the family, his anger flared he grabbed a girl, to young to be in this club, but foolish enough to venture in and torn out her th oat. He smiled "That felt good." He looked at Cleopatra, "The sun should be rising soon." He muttered, knowing his fun would have to stop for aleast 12 hours. "I should be going back to the hotel." Nicholas stopped, had he heard something, he had thou ht he had heard his name, no it couldn't be, He laughed to himself, Gabrielle hadn't answered, she must be convinced she's going mad. He looked down at the girl he had recently killed, he picked up her dead body and threw it hard against the wall. He st ll felt angry. There it was again, his name. "Cleopatra, if only you had the mental power I did, then you could tell me whether I was hearing things or not." He walked out of the club with Cleopatra. "Tell me more of ancient Egypt."

March 6, 19--
I have thought of doing what Lestat has done, only to do it with those who have been called to the gathering of the immortals. The twelve who we had thought were the only ones remaining. If I can I would like to meet with those who we have not heard fro and set their lives down for our own records. As Maharet had done with her lineage, I will do with the vampire history. So, I will search out:
Armand, Daniel, Eric, Gabrielle, Jesse, Khayman, Mael, Marius, Pandora and Santino.
I have a nagging feeling that I am being called to do this. I have started to leave my mind open to the voices in the world and will soon leave the comfort of Rio de Janeiro.
~D
I thought on what I had just written, closed the notebook and blew out the candle. Shutting the window and pulling the blinds down, I made my way to the bed. Slipping between the sheets I fell fast asleep, dreaming of a lost girl running through a sea o blood, knowing that I would be taking flight sooner than I had anticipated.

Pandora had arranged for cars to pick us up from the airport and steal us off into seclusion. I had no desire to stay in the prescence of a whining fledgling and her big headed maker. I had been working on some plans of my own in the last moments before the plane landed. I had opened my mind to the world...searching out the voices that would be willing to follow through with my plan. I had witnessed the killing of babies and the infirm, I had seen bodies pulled from the wreckage of planes, and I had be n privy to the sacrifice of a family...by that of a mortal band of vampires. Children who thought that if they drank the blood of their family they would be like their beloved Lestat. I laughed when I saw the "leader" vomit the blood of his father. And sent out a message to this merry, if unknowlegable band, **if you want to be real vampires then you should follow my voice to the ends of the earth...and I will grant you your wish** and I ended the call with a maniacle laugh. But, the one that caught my fancy the most, came from a rebirthed vampire. He was caught in the throes of the ecstasy of the kill. Killing for no reason other than to let the blood flow. Tearing bodies assunder and ripping out throats with such fervor, I envyed his gusto. I want d to kill with this immortal, to have him at my side as I restart another coven. A coven that will surpass that of the old. To go back to the old ways and laws. Enough of making silly choices, of giving a mortal a 2nd chance just becasue they are a lov d one. I have watched too many loves die throughout the centuries. I will be the coven leader once more, and New Orleans will be the first in many locations. And Nicholas will be the perfect coven leader, if I have my way...and I get my way often. Whe we got to the "safe house", I waited till I had Pandora alone in a room, which was hard becasue she was runnign around like a headless chicken. I took her by the shoulders and pulling her to me whispered, "I have seen you safely to your destination...ho ever I have left not only another old companion behind, but a slave. I shall return. And call to me if you need anything else." I kissed her long and sweet, and prepared for my flight back to New Orleans.

I was so tired that I was surprised I could kill the victim Lestat found for me. Letting him carry me to our room. I was hoping I would be like him, able to stay up just a little past sunrise, wake up before sunset. Maybe in time as I grew stronger.... Sl ep claimed me before I could talk about Memnoch. I swear I could still hear his laughter in my head. I started to dream. Of blood and carnage. Of people screaming, begging for mercy. "View Hell in all it's glory, young vampire. View what Lestat turned dow ." I looked at Memnoch, in the guise I knew him in. The Ordinary man. "You're right. I still want him. He has to bring back someone who escaped my grip." Memnoch hissed. Then there was blackness, the mornful tune of a violin. I struggled to wake up. Sudde ly I was mortal again, still in the Superior General's cluthes. Being raped again and again. In full view of everyone I ever loved. Over and over and over. They tried to break thru to me, but couldn't. I saw blue eyes set in an Egyptain-looking face. But as it Ramses or the "soulless" Cleopatra? I struggled more to wake up. As sunset came closer I started sending out mental messages, trying to reach David Talbot. Telling vampires I didn't know yet that we were looking for him. That his help was required. hat it was imperitive that he came to us. Finally, I felt the drag of the sun release me and I rose from the death sleep. My first thought was looking to see if Lestat was there and my next of my terrible thirst....

I looked around, realizing quickly that my scream had been mental, and instantly contained. Sometimes my instincts are too good. I lay back down, contemplating the possibilities. Either Nicholas was alive... but that's impossible. I must be going insa e. The plane landed, and we were all driven to a safe place, Pandora's doing, obviously. Whoever this mysterious woman may be personally, she certainly is maternal. As I sat in the car my mind burned with the image of a club, carnage and blood everywhe e. The horror and the glory overwhelmed me, but I said nothing, afraid that the others would see my mind begining to slip....

I smiled wickedly at Nikki. Reaching up to stroke his cheek, already cooling from the blood he had comsumed fading into his system. "Ah, Nikki dear, if only you vampires could have sex. I would really show you some fun." I stood and kissed him. "Come, let s play like you say. We'll paint the town red and I can tell you about the Egypt of my youth. Oh, the dry old arceologists don't know the fun we had. The decatant parties. The wild sex. You would have loved it, Nikki. I would have made you my king."

Nicholas played with the heads hair as Cleopatra told her story. Interesting. He looked at her, Shoel, hell, what's the difference? He smiled. "How long have you been born anew?" He asked "I would't think the devil would let one of his...Clients run ab ut here very long." Nicholas was growing bored. Lekaire had disappeared into the night, and the head had lost all it's human qualities, it was cold and still, the eyes glazed over, he tossed it away, not caring much where he had reconized it from. He w ndered if Armand still existed? Had he perished. Nicholas wasn't listening much to Cleopatra's speech, his mind had wandered off. He concentrated his mind, he did after all miss his old friend, well perhaps not friend, mentor? Yes that seemed better, e searched minds, looking for a link to Armand, he found it. *Miss me?* He asked mentally, sending a picture of flames. Nicholas smiled, with them out of the city he could unleash Choas and detruction, make kin, not have to worry of the consicences(sp ). He knew that when Lekaire reappeared it would be over, he stood up from the gravestone. "Let's go play." He said, a wolf's smile spreading across his face.

Uncle Chou, I want you to know I am ok...I will be gone a little time, but I didn't want you to worry. I asked if it was ok for me to send word to you guys to let you know I was ok, so you wouldn't worry. I am flying out of the country, that's as much as they will et me tell you. They had movies on this plane, something about vampires, with that short guy. It was kinda funny, but when I think of vampires I don't think funny. And they may not let me tell you this either, but I had to write it down cuz even its hard for me to bel eve. Up until the last couple of days I didn't think real, but that dead guy changed my whole perspective and that other guy that bit me, well I now know they are real. I'd never tell my buds on the street, cuz they'd call me a freak for sure. I bet yo think I'm crazy talkin' , but honest Uncle Chou, vampires are real and livin in the French Quarter. I'm ok, but I had this real weird thing happen to me about 3 weeks ago. See this guy bit me, and I swear I was goona die, but then I didn't and this str et violin player took me to the hospital, so a bill might come, just throw it away, cuz I aint gonna pay for it. Anyway I started having these weird things happen to me...I mean real weird shit, like seeing things before they happened, or after they happ ned, but like I was there. moving things with my mind. Just real crazy stuff, like in those books Auntie May reads. And then, Bam...Bam...Bam I'm on this plane out of the country. So, don't worry and when I get back home I will stop by. Stay out of t e French Quarter late at night or anywhere near the river, and as far as I know, don't trust anyone. Frank Lin After I was finished writing the letter I put it in an envelope and lay it on the armrest between Nat and I. I would mail it as soon as we landed. I stretched out and fell asleep.

I awoke as we were landing, feeling drained and nearly starved. Although it was nearly daylight in this place, I would need to make a quick kill. Christine clung to me as we descended the jetway. She too needed to feed badly. Two victims then... Pandora led us to the safe house. I directed Christine away from the others, to find ourselves a meal. I sensed some mental interaction directed at Claudia by Armand, but my hunger precluded any intervention at this time. She could take care of herself She had handled me, hadn't she? I wished that Louis was here, and briefly wondered where he had wandered off to, after I had told him to go with Claudia. I hoped that he was safe, and was glad that all the rest of us had safely survived the aborted at ack by the Talamasca. I knew that their harassment of us was not ended. My thoughts wandered, as I sought prey for Christine and myself. At last, two street people huddled in the corner of an alley. I searched their minds, no redeeming value, perfect. I led Christine into the alley, and we made short work of our first meal together. Then we quickly made our way back to the house, just as the first rays of the rising sun were kissing the bottoms of the clouds. I knew that Christine was not yet strong enough to withstand even a touch of sunlight. I practically carried her limp, nearly comatose body into the house, and to our sleeping quarters.

At last, we arrived at our destination. I had sensed many undercurrents during the long flight, but had blocked out external stimuli, preferring to concentrate on my own thoughts. I knew that the legendary Lestat had created another fledgling. I wished him better luck with this new one, than he had in the past. Marius had told me of his unfortunate choices. It was almost daytime in this corner of the world, when we landed, so I curled up with Marius in a secluded spot. We would be ravenous when we fi ally awoke.

It was an eternity of feeling Christine's agony of going through the throes of death; her pain barely decreased even after she had her first victim. A probe of her thoughts confirmed that she truly believed that Memnoch was tormenting her mentally - but I didn't sense another presence and I heard nothing telepathically. I hoped that the dark gift wasn't going to turn Christine into another Nicholas. Wouldn't that be a nice coincidence, another of Lestat's fledglings going truly insane? Only this time, I'm not sure if I could handle Christine like I handled "Nicki" - now she had the blood of the most powerful vampire in existence.

After an eternity, the plane landed and, in the twilight, two cars rushed us through the streets to what some call a "safe house". Once we were inside, I realized that it was a prime opportunity for me to have a private, nice, sweet, looooooooooooooong c at with that little wench, Claudia. So I maneuvered myself next to her and sent a strong suggestion to her: "Little China Doll...come with Armand, Little China Doll...I promise I won't hurt you, Little China Doll...come with Armand, Little China Doll...a l I want to do is talk with you, Little China Doll...come with Armand, Little China...it'll be safer with me, Little China Doll...you know you want to come with Armand, Little China Doll..." I kept repeating the message, altering it slightly every so oft n, watching her face for any change, feeling her mind for weaknesses.

Nicholas sat on the floor starring at the head. He picked it up and walked over to Cleopatra who seemed to be in the process of taking the dead's money. "Time to go." He said. He smiled looking around the room, very beautiful. He looked at Cleopatra gain realizing now that she had blood dripping down her neck. He shrugged his shoulders, everyone had their own ways of having fun. "Come with me." Nicholas said, he knew that cleopatra might refuse, sence he had not asked her but had said. He smiled w en he heard her footsteps behind his and slowed his pace so she could catch up. He lead her to a graveyard. Dark and old, the sweet smell of corpses. He sat on a large gravestone, intent on trying to think of where he remembered this girl from he set t e head on his lap and stroked it's hair. Looking down into it's eyes. Such fimailiar eyes. He looked at Cleopatra she seemed to be getting bored. "You said you were dead." He said in a hushed voice. "I don't remember seeing you in hell, did you go to eaven?" He looked at her, she might not even know what heaven was. He had always wondered what heaven looked like. In hell there had been places that appeared like warfeilds, destroyed and dead, those were the places he had been confined to. He knew th t there was a wall and it was rumored that on that side, hell was alive and beatiful. He looked down at the head.....

I reveled in the carange Nicholas and I were causing. Blood everywhere. An orgy of blood. Ceaser never caused so much screaming. The knife by now long since buried in someone's skull. I broke nexks, snapped backs. I couldn't get enough. I even began to dr nk blood like Nikki. Tearing into throats and letting it slide down my throat like fine wine. It was beautiful destruction. Simply beautiful.

The plane finally landed and we got rid of the doctor's body. We went to wherever Pandora was putting us up for the day. I still thristed though, along with worrying over Lestat. Did he hear Memnoch too? Did he realize that Memnoch would never really give up on him? I wanted to curl up in Lestat's arms for the day, but I didn't know if he would want that. My father and my lover. I was no longer the troublesome mortal. I was The Vampire Christine. Drinker of blood. Stalker of night. And quite possiblly one f Lestat's strongest children. There was still David out there, somewhere. He was suppose to be the strongest. But now? Well, we would see, if he ever bothered to show up!

After we got to the safehouse I realized in this part of the world it was nearly daylight, so I found a dark corner and took my leave of the others into my death sleep.

Nicholas smiled as Cleopatra lead the way to the night club. He handed her the knife, "It's always fun to have a toy." He smiled wickedly. The club was small, but good enough. He searched out the bar, the tender handing out drinks, the smile widdened. He jumped on top of the bar and pulled up the bartender. "Ladies and Gentleman!" he yelled, a good enough way to get their attention. "You're the first to see the last." He smiled, as he pressed his mouth against the bartenders neck he pulled the flesh ith his teeth and tore out the throat. The club was then occupied with screams and afew drunken laughs, he barried his face in the gore. Through the corner of his eye he saw Cleopatra get to work. He jumped about the bar, killing tose whom crossed his ath heading for the exits. He cornered a middle aged women. He smiled at her, his face covered in blood. She pulled something out of her purse, the next thing he knew, pain split through his body. A gun. He glared at the women, his eyes darkening, "T at fucking hurt!" he growled at her. He picked up her body and threw it hard against the wall. It made a statisfying crunch. He went after a younge girl. "Please don't hurt me!" She looked around panicked "God! Someone help me!" He tilted his head, t ose words sounded so fimailar. He grabbed her by the hair and pulled. He held the head by it's hair smiling at it's forever horrified eyes. He started to swing it about humming a tune to himself, hearing Cleopatra's own sluaghter in process. He looked about, walls stained with blood, dead everywhere. Someone deserves to see this art. He thought to himself. But I will save Lekaires eyes from such a sight. Nicholas smiled, he knew who to send it to. He concetrated on Gabrielles mind. "Look at all the fun I'm having Gabrielle" He said to her, sending her images of the club. He laughed. This was fun, god, he had missed being alive.

As I ran the male vampire, Nicholas appeared before me, saying he wanted to play and asking me to join him. I was about to tell him all about the statue, how it seemed to follow me, but when I looked, it was no where in sight. Damn Ramses and his tricks. reached out, taking Nicholas' hand. "I'd love to play, dear vampire." I said, a grin twisting my lips. "Shall we go to my favorite hunting grounds?" I thought of the night club I had passed. It was small but we could have our pick, or even all of them...

Nicholas looked around the alley, yes, Lekaire was gone, but where? His frown turned to a smile. Might as well take control of the moment, he thought to himself. He was hungry afterall. He spotted something laying on the ground. He bent over and pick d it up, another smile. A knife. He looked at the blade, stained with blood. He lifted it up and stabbed it down into his unused hand. He grimaced alittle bit, and pulled it out, yes he did need to feed. He put the knife in his pocket. He felt like aving some fun, the other vampires were gone, he could have all the fun he wanted. He smiled, Cleopatra would probadly like to have some fun too. He searched the city for her thoughts and found her easily enought, all he had to do was look for thoughts f Ramses. He ran along the roofs of buildings looking for her. She stood on the street, she looked scared, horrified maybe. He jumped off the roof, landing infront of her. "I want to play." He said, a wicked smile on his face "Want to play?" He sent er mental images of slaughters, blood, necks broken. His smile widdened.

I lay in the peaceful quiet of a dreamless sleep for how much time I don't know. Slowly a vision pushed it's way into my mind. I saw Nicholas devilishly smiling at me, and I gasped. "Leaving me behind again." he said, and faded away. "Nicholas!" I cri d out, waking myself from my slumber with the force of my own cry. The others awake in the plane stared at me, as if I had grown a third eye in the middle of my forhead or something. My mind had not decieved me then, it had been him in the streets of th city. I looked around quickly, frightened enough to fear that he was here among us...

I watched as Pandora, angry with Lestat and yet still sympathetic to Christines urgent need, brought out the mortal doctor for Christine's first feeding. It still amazed me how these mortals were so easy to control that they would still stand there, even f they knew that they were going to die. Christine bit down into his neck, her teeth still blunt from being mortal but that would change soon enough. The mortal doctor fell to the floor in death from her immortal kiss. At least she would go hungry no lon er. I sat back in my seat and waited to arrive at our destination.

Nicholas walked the streets, he didn't like being sane, he wanted some of his old life back, he wanted Paris and the Theatre, and even that damn Armand to keep him under control. He frowned, cars, airplanes, the old world was so much better, vampires who had survived had had years to adjust to these changes but him, he had just been dropped into this world, had he? His mind raced through memories. Damn, he couldn't even remember how and why he had gotten out of hell. He wanted to kill this whole city, very person one by one, until he got some response from someone! He lifted his head, Lekaire was calling him. He cursed himself for leaving her alone. Spirits, god he hated spirits. He ran, beyond the speed of mortal eyes, following Lekaire's trail of thoughts. She was in an alley, a dead man near her. And a presence, s spirit. He growled, a dangerous spirit. He looked around the alley, hearing the spirits mock laughing. He wanted to pounce on it, tear out it's throat. But you can't exactly do th t to a spirit, Nicholas needed the taste of blood, he wasn't sure why. He bit down into his tongue feeling the sweet blood erupt in his mouth. He took action. Nicholas realized suddenly that it wasn't him fighting it, lashing out at this spirit, he was watching it. He was somehow hurting it, laughing, laughing in a voice that wasn't his. He watched the spirit leave, he had only scared it off for the moment, he felt control of his body return to him. He felt so weak, tired, and cold. Nicholas collasp d on the ground. "what the hell was that" He said outloud, although he was asking himself. He felt darkness come on, he welcomed it......Nicholas was in a room, dark, infront of him stood a vampire, old and dying. The vampire was a skeleton, his veins hund like ropes off his skin, a hideous sight. Nicholas was dreaming, well not quite dreaming, remember, it was a memory, yes, a memory. "why'd you bring here?" Nicholas asked. "Honestly Nikki, I thought you'd be happy I pulled you out of hell." The dying vampire replied. "Nothing is done out of kindness in this world." The skeleton vampire nodded, "True, I need you to carry something for me, I'm dying, I don't want it to die eith me." "You mean you want me to be a host?!" "Yes Nikki, I'm afriad so." "why don't you just drag some mortal from the streets here to carry your damn gift?!" "Because, only a vampire could handle it properly." "Then why not get a live vampire." "Yo r soul is powerful Nicholas, most vampires have a concience, they feel bad for the suffering they've caused, but you, you have no regret, no remorse. You have the immortal body and soul needed to handle him." "Him?" "Yes, I house Amel. A spirit, he was split and is what causes immortality in vampires. He lies dormat in most vampires. And dies when they die. However I have collected his soul, over the years, I killed other vampires for him. Do you know the power he holds? It's amazing. But I will d e, I don't want him to die with me." "Why should I do anyting for YOU?! You're already dead!" Nicholas started to leave, where ever he was.....The memory fadded. He woke up, frowning, how long had he been here afterall. He looked around the alley, Le aire was gone. He sensed something. DAMNIT! He cursed, the vampires, they were gone. He looked for a mind, and found one. Gabrielle. He smiled. "Leaving me behind again. I'm not surprised." He said to her mentally. He stood up. Looking around. He wanted to kill, kill something important.

This had been one of the worst flights I have ever been forced to take. As much as I tried to get back to the peaceful world of sleep, I couldn't allow myself to fall into the blackness. I was about ready to stand up and shout at the fledgling to shut up and drink her own blood. But, Pandora gave her the doctor as a victim. Then Pandora was seated beside me and I slid my arm behind her back and pulled her to me. "How much longer, Dear? I am about ready to rip the door off the hinges." I smothered my ace in her hair and finally shut my eyes.

We got to the plane and I sat at the window, looking out at the wing slicing through the thick white clouds. My hands gripping the armrest, praying to a god that I hoped still looked out for me. Just three weeks ago, I was running through the streets wi h my friends. Picking fights with street performers, taking their money and having quick sex with other street kids. And, now here I am flying to a country I never even heard about. All because of the guy that bit me that night. Nat had taken me into er protection and told me that she would take me to a place called the Talamaska...Whatever the hell that is, as long as we got away from the dead guy that had a thing for me. The plane dipped and slid through the air and I finally got my bearings and le ned back in my seat. I rolled my head over and looked at Nat's back, resting my hand on her shoulder. She jumped as if I pulled her out of a daydream. "Hey, I never thanked you. So...Thanks for getting me the fuck away from that dead guy. So what kind of country is this Amsterdam?"
