I woke to find the werewolf sleeping soundly with Aysha at his side. Rolling my eyes, I knew instantly that she was on his side. Luckily, that seemed to be my side too...for the time being. There was little trust between vampire and werewolf, but from the sound of it, we shared a common enemy. He had helped me, and I knew, without saying, that I would help him avenge his mate.

"Sir, wake up please," I said, gently trying to wake him. I knew werewolves could be dangerous when first awakened and I did not wish for any injuries just now...

I awoke to find the Vampire trying his best not to startle me. "What is it? Is It Night already? Well, I guess I get to find out where you live for real now, huh, cuase this place aint set up real proper, not like you would stay here al ong time or something. Lead the way, and I'll follow, dont go slow for me though, I'll keep up in one way or another." With that said, I walked over to my pile, tossed Aysha some more meat, strapped in, and waited for the Vampire to start walking.

I smiled. "Dear boy...my current residence is in New Orleans...as in the United States. You and Aysha will take a plane, curtesy of me, but I am afraid I will have to follow with your weapons. I do not like dealing with ariline personnel when carrying weapons."

Surprisingly, the werewolf agreed. this surprised me until I saw the two knives he had kept on his person through the plane's window. How come I wasn't surprised? Finally, we reached New Orleans and I showed him the way to the flat I had kept there for when I visited Lestat and we headed out, toward the townhouse, looking for the others, most especially, Christine...

I felt somewhat grogy after last night's fight, but as I woke up, I didnt know where I was. Some small hut to hide the Vampire from the Sun no doubt. The dog picked its self up off the floor, and walked between me and what looked to be the Vampire I had p edged partnership to. To kill him, not to kill him, to kill him, not to kill him. Hmmmmm it was a tuff decision, but I gave my word, something not broken easily, and decided to see where fate lead me when the night came. In the meantime, I decided to go f r a walk towards town, praying the fool hadnt drug me too far away from where I was used to roaming. Finding we hadent gone far, I went to town for breakfast, but got there at lunch. After lunch, I called in my debits, sold the remaining things that tied e to this place that was never really home, and bought supplies. You know, the usual, a sword, an axe, a pistol, and a rifle with a good scope, bullets for each, and enough jerkey to last a while. I tossed the meat in my pack, and strapped on everything e se, and headed back to chat with the dog. I stepped back inside the house to find the dog asleep, and still guarding the Vampire, and brought out some beef for both of us to chew on after I woke her. The smell of meat brought her around, and as she watch d, I changed into a wolf to avoid any fights over mistaken identities. Aysha, as I found her name to be, was quite a pleasant being, and as I finished my beef, I lay down to sleep to see what the night would bring. Taking one last look at the pile of weap nry in the corner, I could only think . . . "I should have bought more blades." And I fell to sleep, watched by Aysha and Mother Gaia.

1998? How could it be? How much had he forgotten? He looked at Lestat, confused more then he could recall. "I'm not a killer, am I?" Talking more to himself then anyone else " I met a woman, and she just died." He looked at Lestat sadly. "Did I kill er?" He looked around the room and luaghed lightly to himself. "What have I become......." He looked about the room, wondering if the walls would speek and answer him, everything he had known was suddenly changed....He stood up off the chair and walked ver to the broken window. He looked out at the street... Nicolas looked down at his hand and noticed a shard of glass inbedded in it. He wondered why he hadn't noticed it. He lifted the hand up to his mouth and took hold of the shard with his teeth. H pulled it out slowly, no pain at all. He frowned, no blood either. He turned at looked at Lestat mournfully then to his hand, where a large cut and blood should of been, only perfect, pale skin. "What's wrong with me?" He asked Lestat. "Why don't I b eed?" All the questions Nickie had to ask were overflowing his mental capascity. He walked back over to the chair (much in the way a drunk walks) And sat down. He bent over and held his head in his hands.......

I dreamed as I slept. Dreamed that David was in terrible danger. I screamed and cried. I felt for a moment the spirits that inhabited this Astec temple. And then when night fell I continued on, sure that my dreams were a sign of maddness, landing in the j ngles of Brazil. Yet once there I felt the Queen's anger. They didn't want me here and told me to leave. They wouldn't destroy me - yet - but if I continued to pursue them they would. I sighed and headed back. Somehow I went faster this time and ended up ack in New Orleans in a matter of a couple of hours. Maybe it was because I still sensed that my David was in trouble. *David - David are you alright?*

Through centuries I had prevailed and I would, now, too. I let it go...my c rrent resources exhausted. I would build them back. Yes, I would have my revenge!

Comments:
Anger began to well in my heart as I heard the wraith speak for Talamasca. Immortal enemy to Amel? Bane of all vampires? Now, I understood. I understood everything. The evil of this being was simply beyond my comprehension. The werewolf's rage final y got the best of him and he crumpled in exhaustion, but not before tearing the wraith apart and sending it on it's way. Nor before telling me that his life was in my hands. Aysha immediately rushed to the prone, now human body of the werewolf and lay a op his chest, looking about with watchful eyes. I recognized her guarding posture. There was nothing I could do to him, now, nor anything I wished to do to him, but get him to a safe place. the sun was on it's way to the horizon and I needed to seek sh lter. Reassuring Aysha, I knelt to lift the body onto my shoulders so as to carry it to a safe place. I had an old house near here and headed there. I only hoped this werewolf would do the same service for me during the day as I was doing for him now, ecause the house was not set up for my daytime retreat. Balefully, I glared at the sky. "We will destroy you, Talamasca," I whispered, "I swear it on my death!" With that, I headed toward the house, Werewolf slung limply over my shoulders.

Comments:
When the Wraith refused to answer, I shook it harder, diggin my claws in, and asked it to answer in a none so polite way. "WHY GOD DAMMIT?! WHY WAS SHE KILLED?" It laughed with a low voice that should not have belonged to a wraith. "And what makes you think I am the one to ask such a question of, Cedric?" "I would think that spirits talk, and I want answers. You pissed me off, so whats a little info between predator and prey?" I could not let the Wraith see it had me momentarily stumped. I could only hope my rage lasted long enough to get what I wan ed and destroy this abomination of a soul. "Your mate was a weakling just like you," it said, "You should not have chosen a human for such a postition. She died so easily...but it was not this wraith that killed her..." "WHO DID IT?!" I had no question of my rage lasting now."That human led twice the life you led, and ceratinly was no weakling you backstabbing pawn of the underworld!" "Oh, calm yourself, dear wolf. Do you want to hear my story or not? Perhaps no, for there is nothing you can do against her killer," it said, grinning in what way wraiths have found to grin, "Her killer is even harder touch than this wraith is. "Then I'll find a way, even if I have to get this Vampire's help! Tell me your story, and maybe I'll send you to the next world in one piece. Tell me where to find her killer, Dammit, or I shall call on all the spirits in this place to tourment you for eternity!" I hoped the Wriath would not call my bluff, for I had no way of controling any spirits I summoned. That's not to mention the fact I had only seen the summoning ritual done once, and it didn't work then. But he shouldn't know that . . . "First, you should know, this wraith cannot speak," it said, "The one speaking through this wraith is I, Talamasca. You betrayed me. For that, you were punished and your mate suffered. She suffered long and she suffered hard. I am the untouchab e entity. I am omniscient, next to God himself, immortal enemy of Amel and bane to all vampires. If you join with this vampire against me, you will suffer his fate. Already, you have destroyed my wraiths and escaped my traps. For this, I will make cert in that your mate suffers for all eternity! This is the power I have, the power I will put against you if you dare defy me. Begone, puppy, and bother me no more and perhaps I will consider sparing your mate so much pain and suffering..." "I will live to avenge my mate, and see you dethroned. You will fall from power, and i will deliver the blow that unseats you. My wife can't be touched by you, her purity would burn you to ashes at a glance, and even if it were able for you to tort re her, it would only be for a short amount of time till I came and dispatched you, and she would want her life avenged. I shall come for you, Talamasca, and you will know the full power of Gaia's Fury." With that I ripped the Wraith assunder, and turned to the Vampire I had just saved. Though it goes against the very nature of Vampire and WereWolf, I will join you to put an end to this Talamasca, and I trust you now with my life in exchange for saving yours." With that said, my rage left me, and I cumple to the ground, unconcious and exausted both physically and mentally from the days events. Even as I slipped further into the darkness of unconciousness, I felt my body shifting back to my human form, and wondered if it was a good idea to so blindly place my trust in a Vampire, and a complete stranger at that, but i felt the dog would be loyal to blood first, then master. . . .

The creature loomed up before me and advised me not to move. I froze, having no intention of grappling with this thing until I understood it a little more. Suddenly, though, I knew exactly what he was. Slowly at first, then increasingly faster, he bega to elongate and shift, his features changing from that of a perfectly normal human to that of a snarling angry wolf. Obviously, Talamasca's comment through the wraiths had riled his anger. For a moment, I wondered what he intended to do, since wraiths ould not be touched from this plane of existence until I heard him utter a chant and felt a prickle of power slid down my spine. After that, things got very confused. There was a whirlwind of flying fur, flashing claws and anguished banshee wail all aro nd my ears, doing it's best to deafen me. After a couple of moments, it stopped and I saw the half wolf form clutching at nothing. Breathing hard with anger, he screamed a question at the emptiness in his hands. Slowly, I backed away, leaving him to hi anger. Aysha came to my side, whimpering. I had never seen her scared except as a puppy. Somehow, the back of my neck felt cooler and I could have sworn I was missing a couple of locks of hair...

Before me, the drama unfolded...

Comments:
Weakling?! They obviously didnt know what they were dealing with, which wss suprising for Wraiths. It was obvious the vampire needed help, and though it was not good form to help a Vampire in anything, I wasn't in the best of moods. "David, if thats your ame, hold quite still for this might hurt if you don't." I hated to see such a fine shirt go to waste, but when my rage overtook me i no longer cared. As I shifted from human to a full WereWolf, the 6'2" blond became a 9'5" bullet of fur, fangs, and claws and my shirt and pants became nothing more than so many rags that my other clothes resembled. As I charged the ethereal beings I took a moment to chant the words that would make sure my claws would pierce the astral plane and accually harm the Wraiths. I dove straight for the Vampire named David, and hoped he would take my advice and not move. The Wraiths obviously didnt expect me to be able harm them, for they didnt flee or prepare for battle. I suppose my anger made me too fast for them to noice it unti it was to late, for I sent all but one back to the shadows of their creation. As I gripped the final Wraith between my hands/paws, I screamed at it, "Why was my wife KILLED?!"

I watched gleefully as the wraiths chased the meddlesome David into the graveyard. He didn't know they had no fear of holy ground. I had purposefully kept that information from him. They sped after him and I knew he was doomed. I crested the rise befo e my servants and stopped dead. There he was! Not David...he was insignificant and as good as dead. But him! The one who escaped my trap! The damned werewolf that had dared stand against me! He may have escaped, but his precious mate died, and soon, he would join her. "This is no matter of yours, weakling," I said through the wraiths, "Stand aside while I am rid of this fool and I will deal with you shortly. As for you, David, wraiths have no fear of holy ground. I fear you have chosen your battle round poorly." With that, I sent the wraiths after the vampire, confident that nothing would stand between me and certain victory...

Comments:
Having come to the graveyard to morn the loss of my mate, I was rather annoyed to find the iron gates shut and locked. While they weren't a problem, it was just one more thing I didnt want to have to deal with. After forcing them far enough apart for me t get through in my human form, I went to the grave of my beloved wife and began to meditate on exactly how to get revenge on her killers. When your meditating, its rather annoying to be inturrupted, especially by one half of your kind. As the large dog's barking broke my trance and mind's eye image of my mate from me, I looked up to see something most mortals would loath, a Vampire follo ed by a group of Wraiths. Were they here to finish the job that started with my wife's murder? I rose slowly to face them, ready for anything, and as the dog growled at me, I growled back, startling it, and then asked, "What mischief do you and the wraiths bring?"

Talamasca...damn him! He knew just what to send after me. The wraiths on my tail were twenty times stronger than my candomble spirits. Aysha, who had caught up to me, raced ahead to the wrought iron gates I was headed for. They were slightly open, sho ing marks of having been forced. I didn't really care. What I wanted was the holy ground beyond those iron posts. If nothing else, I would be on higher ground and I could use that to my advantage. Aysha squeezed through the bars, racing into the grave ard, barking for all she was worth. I didn't understand at first why she was barking at something other than the wraiths, but I didn't have time to dwell on it as I squeezed in through the bars of the gate. Behind me, the wailing of the banshee-like wra ths chilled me to the bone. The Talamasca motherhouse had little information on wraiths...now, I understood why. Desperately, I raced up the hill, intent upon the top, where I skidded to a stop. Below, Aysha was crouching, growling with hackles raised t a figure crouched before a new tombstone. My blood ran cold as it began to turn because I knew, in my soul, it was not human. I wasn't sure what it was...

Suddenly, I had the feeling I was stuck between two dangers...the proverbial rock and a hard place...

I watch Christine prepare the possessions of their previous owners. She collected the parts of the jewelry. I asked her where she was going. She did not reply, but the sadness on her face revealed that she was not coming back, esp. without David to keep her going. I watched her go. Lestat and Claudia and the third person up there must be having a grand old time (I smirked to myself) Louis still hid. I got up and walked outside. The sounds of the swamp encroached on this townhouse. I began to go back to my apartment. Meanwhile I sent a signal out to Christine. Why are you leaving here? I hoped she could hear me. . .

I entered the room upstairs, to find Claudia with an obviously confused Nicki. He was nothing like the insane creature that I had last encountered. He had entered the house through a broken window, the sound of the breaking glass concealed behind the noi y rabble that had gathered outside. He looked up at us in bemusement, and then asked us what year it was. I went to him, and gently took him by the arm, "Nicki, it is 1998." I slowly led him to a nearby chair, and sat him down, fearing his reaction. I appeared that he was suffering from some form of amnesia, perhaps brought on by his apparently aborted suicide attempt.

I ignored what was going on with the others. I was still a little numb. I took care of the mortals' money, taking it out of the wallets and making a nice little pile for Lestat. Then I laid the watches and things out. I threw away the credit cards and thi gs of that nature and left the wallets in a neat pile. This way if they wanted some thing here, my vampire family could find it easily. We steal off our victims all the time, why should this be any different? The valubles could also be sold. The money use to make repairs or something. They did the damnage, they should pay for it. Now all this done, I slipped out the door with my choices of things. I sold the watches and rings I picked out. Then I took off into the sky. I didn't know where I was going. I t ink South America. Yes, I'd go there. Hide in the jungle or something. I'd rest in some dark place at dawn, then I'd continue on my way. I want to find the Queens Of The Damned. The sooner, the better. I wanted them to decide my fate.

I took a chair again the wall, admiring the decor, and the possible situation that goin to occur upstairs. I wondered if Claudia would be leaving here soon, because of everything that happened this night. If she was going to leave me too, I would miss her, but let her go.

He returned his gaze to the cieling. There was some hing different about Lestat from what he could remember of him last, was what he remebered the last time he had seen Lestat? "How much have I forgotten?" he whispered to himself. Nicolas stood up off the floor and looked at the two others in utter confu ion, "What year is this?"

After the leftover bodies were made into leftovers for the swamp, Christine and I returned to Lestats townhouse. I looked around for Claudia and realized she was not around. I heard some thumping about upstairs and told Lestat that she might be upstairs Lestat asked David a few questions, and then all of the sudden, David took off into the night. I guess he was off to chase some ghosts around. Just when I was beginning to like him. While the 4 of us (Louis was rather silent for the night), I saw laudia come down with a ragged man with a bewildered look on his face. She said, "Look all, I have finally met my brother. Pandora, meet Nicholas." Sigh. This was going to be a really family get together. Without David's even-headedness to temper to group's tempers, I began to wonder about taking off. . .

After the corpses were cleared, Lestat asked what we should do to be permanently rid of the Talamasca. Unfortunately, I did not yet have an answer for this as of yet. I needed to know my enemy more. Quietly, I slipped out of the townhouse and floated i to the night. Somehow, I must find a way to determine Talamasca's weaknesses, to come up with a plan. As once having been Superior General of the Talamasca, I felt it was me resposibility to determine what must be done...

"Lestat spoke of you in his book, this is his house you know." Perhaps, I th ught, he did not know where he was afterall, and his crashing through our window was purely coincedence.

Nicolas lay on the floor. Gazing at the cieling trying to remember, he could recall bleak things of this world.......The things he had seen earlier on the roads were cars, and he could remember being in New Orleans.....The rest was clouded...He couldn't remember leaving Paris..... A man's face stood out in his mind the most.....He couldn't place it though...His thoughts were broken by the sound of approaching footsteps. He tilted his head towards the door and saw a little girl enter. She walked to him an bent over. "You are Nicolas, no?" He looked at her afew minutes then sat up. "You know me?" he asked....A small bit of hope entering his heart, perhaps this child could tell him what he had forgotten......

I was displeased being brought back into this house. I did not want to be near either Louis or Lestat, and I although I tried, I found it difficult to keep my mind on Davids words. I had tired of the Talamasca, and the subject on the whole seemed an incre ible bore. The others were so distracted by David's speach, and by the Talamasa zombies outside, that they did not seem to notice the sound of glass breaking upstairs. I did notice it, and while the others were dashing out the door, I was running up the s airs. On the floor there lay a young man, whom I realized may not be young at all, since he was a vampire. He slightly resembled Louis, and my mind drifted back to the previous evening when Christine and I had spoke of Lestat's fledgeling Nicholas. Could his man be he? And if so, why did he crash through the window instead of simply nocking on the door? Perhaps the drones had interfiered. Surely Lestat would be shocked and pleased to see him alive. My first thought was to call for Lestat, but then I chang d my mind. I had no desire to stay in this house, and Lestat had stolen my Louis, had he not? Perhaps Nikki could help me get even with him. For if recolection serves, and it never does anything else, this man harbored a rather strong hatred for him. Sile tly I approched him, laying my hand upon his arm, asking "You are Nicholas, no?"

When David announced that we were under attack by the Talamasca mortals, I jumped up from my chair ready to take on the mortals. I tried to reach into the their minds from inside the townhouse, but was blocked off by the spirit. Suddenly Christine ran o tside, shouting to the mortals for them to leave. I felt a cold wind flow through the townhouse and suddenly there were many soft thuds. I went outside with David and saw all of the bodies of the mortals. What happened? David then turned to Lestat and explained what effectively happened when Christine reached into their minds to break the Talmasca hold. We then proceeded on the clean up. I thought to myself: I wanted to see how Christine worked in the battles that the elders might hold themselves al of from. But as I remembered, she was touched by both sides of heaven and hell. What happened to her blood? What does the world come to when an angel kisses a devil? It began to occur to me the source of her maddness. The ancients had some wisdom in heir rules of making fledgling from such elders with powers. Their newfound powers may drive them mad, while I have tried to let mine ripen over time. I just hoped David could help to guide her. I would be watching her more closely . .

I listened to David. Then I walked amongst the dead and began to pick them up, taking them out into the bayou to feed the gators. I'd take anything that could identify them, wallets, watches, etc, and leave them - figuring the money could be used to repai any damage they caused. Then I'd take as many bodies as I could carry and fly them deep into the bayou. Trying to hit a different place each time. I don't know if the others helped. I just did what I could.

Christine mentioned her power to Lestat and rushed to the door, to confront the mortals outside. At first, I didn't know what she intended, then, I felt the static blast and knew immediately what she was doing, and what the results would be. A small par of me rebelled at the thought of how many would die, but I had to let it happen, lest we be overcome because, it was the nature of fanatics to not stop until the last breath of life was stolen from their bodies...and some had the power of fire...I could eel it. While we destroyed some, others would come. I smiled as I realized, Christine had stumbled over the key to their destruction as I had not been able to. They would die, not because of their own choice, but because of Talamasca. I felt tears beg n. I had worked with these men when they were not under Talamasca's spell and they were good men, but they must now be destroyed. As I hesard the first cries of death, I walked to Christine's side. "It has killed them," I said softly, "I'm sorry if yo sought to save their lives, but nothing outside of death can free them now. Thank you for doing what I really didn't want to do. It is a neccessary evil." I turned to Lestat. "Your townhouse and your peace is saved, but we must be rid of the corpses, lest the police investigate anyway...come, we must all hlelp...

I laughed as Christine tried to break my hold. Didn't she understand? Even if she managed to remove me from their minds, they would die for lack of me! I was like a drug, and they were addicted. David knew about this addiction. I wondered how he coul allow her to make this attempt, knowing it would kill them if she succeeded. Maybe he was more bloodthirsty than I once thought. Interesting... I laughed in my silent way, amused by the attempts made by the fledging. She had great power, but no contr l. She didn't even seem to understand what she was capable of, nor how to control it. She would be interesting...

I stood, licking my lips. "Lestat, we all know I have power, I've tasted blood a fledgling should never taste." Rubbing my eyes, I hoped to whatever God there was they could see I was sane, just frighten. "Everyone thinks I'm crazy and should be destroyed anyhow...." Before they could protest I stepped outside and faced the mortals. "BEGONE!" I shouted, glaring at the mortals and sending out a painful blast of mind-static. Looking to stop whatever the spirit Talamasca was doing to them. "You are under the ontrol of an evil spirit! Break this control! Go back to your homes! NOW!" I hoped this would do something, break Talamasca's control.

A rabble of crazed mortals was quickly gathering outside of my townhouse. I frowned at David, "Is this more mischief from the Talamasca spirit of which you were warning us? I will not allow these demented humans to damage my home. Disperse them or I wi l incinerate them." Now it was Louis's turn to frown at me. "Surely you agree, mon ami?" I asked him. "I will give you a chance to end this peacefully, but then I will finish it, make no mistake about that. I also do not want all of this attention cal ed to us. Do you want the police to come here? I have at last regained some measure of my previous anonymity. I have no wish to relinguish it." Louis nodded. He understood that well enough. I loved to mingle with the mortal world, but I did not wish to actually participate in it. I looked around the room. Who would go out to face the mortals?

Nicolas was walking down a decerted (I know that's an sp!) street. **What killed Emily** kept running through his head. He heard a noise behind him. A small crowd of mortals, at least five or six. He looked at them, and watched as they ran forward, sc eaming and holding weapons above their heads. "Merde" Nicolas muttered. He looked at the one closest to him. Anger taking hold of his soul. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!?" he screamed. He glared at one and watched in astonisment as he was thrown into the air by some invisble force. "Good, you're learning." said a soft voice from behind him. He turned around and saw a young woman there. "Who are you?" he asked ignoring the oncoming humans. "Oh, just an earthbound demon. You know you're in a way on of us now. Though not completely yet...." She looked at the crowd. "You really should do something about that." She nodded towards them. "How?!" Nicolas said at being reminded that impending doom was running towards him. "Oh, easy, just concentrate y ur anger. All the hate and darkness deep within you.......Focus it on all of them." Nicolas did as she said. Some of the mortals dropped to the ground, other went up in the air.......The few that were left let our little fearful cries and ran away. Nic las looked at her "Will ther be more?" The demoness nodded "It's my job to get you to a safe place, for now... I doubt the vampire's houses will be of much use....But I'll take you there." She led Nikki through the streets. Their journey stopped abit away from a house that had a LARGE crowd of Mortals around it. "How the hell are we going to get in there?" "We, not we Nikki, you....I'll come back for you once your job here is done...You'll have to go through a window." Nicolas looked up. "You think hey won't notice me climbing up there?" The demoness rolled her eyes. "You don't climb, fly. Just think about rising off the ground or concentrate on the window, it's easy enough. and just go through." Nicolas did as she said and found himself afew in hes off the ground. "Thank you" he said to her. "No," an evil smile going across her face. "Thank you!" Nicolas flew up and threw the window, knowing that whoever was in the house could hear the crash of glass. He wondered now as he lay on the floor, h w he could do such things, and demons.......His thoughts trailed off...

The others actually responded very well, I thought, although, Christine seemed very unstable. Pandora looked willing to cooperate, which I appreciated very much and I made a mental note to thank her when we were alone together. I was about to suggest a ossible course of action when I sensed them. Humans, their minds obbsessing over something (I could guess what), approaching the house. At first, I thought they were crazy to attack so boldly in the middle of the night, until I remembered how sluggish T lamasca was during the day. He almost had human limits. I suspected it had something to do with where he harvested his energy from, but I wasn't sure, nor did I have time to speculate. Crazed as they were, the mortals might actually be dangerous to us. .if only from sheer numbers. At my side, Aysha caught their scent and growled low in her throat before lunging toward the door. I wanted to call her back, but knew she could handle herself with mortals. At least she would know when enough was enough an flee. The others, I wasn't so sure about...

I sat in the chair, listening to David relate his life story to us. I grudgingly have more respect for this fledgling than I ever would have for Lestat, despite all of his exploits. For David I withheld any further questions for Lestat until a future tim . I was not sure how to take this information that the Talamasca was run by a spirit of the same name. If that spirit was annoying as I think it was, it would make sense over the change of the Talamasca from being non-intervention to "warlike" I was n more afraid of spirits than other vampires, for we too are spirits, in the view of human eyes. As a mortal I paid respects to the family dead, however that was just for convention. There was no real conviction behind the rituals. However it caught my ttention that David said that Talmasca could influence minds over time, as Amel had affected the physical over 4000 years ago. Could Talmasca affect our minds too. If so, what if he go a hold of the new Queen of the Damned.. . .?

Nicolas walked on to the street, he was disoriented and confused. He looked around, a wagon without a horse drove by and shocked him, he watched it disappear in the distance. Where was he? This didn't look like Paris. He must have wandered off while e was drunk again. He looked about the street. The people weren't dressed as they were in Paris, he looked down at himself and realized he was dressed like the rest. He walked up to a women. "Excuse me, can you tell me the way back to Paris?" The wom n looked at him in an odd way and then laughed. "You'd have to go to the airport to get to Paris" "Airport?" Nicolas repeated. "Yeah, you know, airplanes, flying things." Nicolas looked at her quizzingly. The women snorted and walked away. "Airport.. ...." Nicolas repeated. He had to get back to Rolands, the night show would be starting soon and he didn't want to be late, with Lestat have disappeared in the night, it was harder to pay the rent, although Gabrielle said she would help with that. Nicol s was about to walk away when a middle agd women came up to him. "Sir, I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but overhear you conversation, you look lost." Nicolas nodded. "Look, I know where there's a shelter, you could stay there for the rest of the night." Nicolas looked at her, there was something odd about her. He mummbled something. "Excuse me?" The women said. "I'm hungry." Nicolas stated again. "Oh, well, I'll buy you something to eat, hmmm." As they walked the women introduced herself, as Emily W nters. She had lived in New Orleans since she was a kid. Nicki told her his name. As she was walking ahead of him rambling about this and that, how her husband had died of a heart attack and sometimes she wouldn't mind joining him, and how her son had b en arrested for drug use, Nicolas found himself eyeing her neck. She stopped suddenly and starred at him. "Oh, sorry, I wasn't quite listening." Nicolas said. "I asked if you felt like a hotdog or a hamburger." Emily said, the tone of her voice indicato g that she was irritated at having to repeat herself. Nicolas shrugged "Hotdog." He answered. Emily nodded and kept on walking. Nicolas grabbed her from behind, causing Emily to scream. Nicolas pulled himself away from something cold, Suddenly awear of his surrondings, he looked down at what he was holding in his arms. Emily, lay in his arms, a soft smile spread across her pale, dead face. Nicki dropped it, stuttering, had he done this? He shook his head, taking a step back, in utter confusion. He turned and ran. Tears streaming down his face, what had become of him, of this world, who had killed Emily.....He had to get back to Paris, back to Roland's.

I sat back and listened to David, fear creeping thru me. I wanted to curl into a ball and hide. Spirits. I hated spirits as a mortal. Though I dearly loved David, I hated spirits. There was always something evil about the spirits that surrounded him. Some hing evil about each and every spirit we came in contact with. There was times back when I was young when I would hide under the bed, afraid the spirits were going to come and rip me to pieces. I don't think David really sensed this evilness, but I could.

As we returned to the townhouse, I watched Lestat, eager to touch him, hold him, but hesitant. He seemed angry somehow...not at Christine, but at something. When I laid eyes on Pandora again, I understood...the child. Yes, Lestat's infamous conscience. .unwilling to allow the child to stay, he was still angry when rid of it. Would I never understand this paradoxical being? "Yes, Lestat, indeed, I believe this incident does have to do with what I must warn you all of. Come, sit and I will explain." T ey joined me as asked, even though Pandora still looked to Lestat for answers to her question.

"Please, we must not quarrel in this time of trouble," I began, holding up my hands, "There is indeed danger on the air. When once, I controlled the Talamasca, acting as Superior General, there was a spirit. He called himself Talamasca and claimed that e had controlled the leaders of the organization for centuries. He said that he had an old rivalry with Amel and that indeed, all humans should. I did not know at the time what he spoke of and told him I did not believe him. His ability to affect the p ysical realm was very weak, but as I neared the end of my time, I came to feel more and more that he could affect a person's mind better than he could affect their person. Now, I have thought on it and realize his purpose...destrution of all who house hi rival Amel!" I watched the others, trying to guage their reactions, hoping they understood their predicament...

After she was done, her eyes were wide and alert. "Claudia, what happened between you and Louis and Lestat?" She suddenly became silent again. Suddenly I felt the agony of Christines cries, I hurriedly carrie Claudia back to the townhouse. David greeted me and gave me a short synopsis of what happened to Christine. Lestat looked at me with disdain. I told him, "Do not forget your other daughter, Lestat." and put Claudia in front of me. "I would like to kn w what happened between the 3 of you." I felt like an outsider for a moment, since I was not fledgling or sire to anyone in this room. Still, I settled into a chair and asked David,"So what is happening that we would all get together?"

I watched in sheer horror as Pandora arrived, took the child from Christine, and drained her to her death. I had feared Claudia's reaction, and now this... It mattered not a bit that Pandora could be right about the child's probable future, it was not o r place to judge the innocent. I gave Pandora a look of sheer contempt as she left, carrying the body of the dead child. Then I turned, as David entered. At last, our reunion...but it was interrupted as Christine began raving again, and then ran from t e house. David took off after her, and telling Louis to wait there for me, I followed a discreet distance behind them. Suddenly, the air surrounding them seemed to thicken and grow darker, and the very stones of the street began to rise and swirl around their stricken bodies. I quickly flew over the scene, then swooped down, and grabbed each one of them with one arm, and we were clear of the disturbance. I set them down, and exclaimed, "Mon Dieu, what trouble will you next get into, Christine? You go rom one dire crisis to the next, as the rest of us go from night to night. You may not always have me to rescue you, you know," then I grinned at her, to let her know that I was not really angry at her. I get feel some guilt, after all, at deserting her for Louis, and also, some sense of responsibility for her, as I was her maker. "Come, let us return to my home. David, it is wonderful to see you again, even under such circumstances. I assume this scene has something to do with what you have come to w rn us about?" I awaited his reply, as we reached the townhouse. Pandora had returned, as well.

David came after me. Good old David. I always could count on him. I held him tightly, listening to him speak. I loved him so very, very much. Had things been different. Had we both remained mortal - he didn't know this, but when I was a child in the Talam sca I had vowed someday I'd marry him no matter how much he protested about our age difference. Suddenly, I felt something surround me. I screamed as something tore at me. Trying to pull David and myself apart. Wildly seeking help I projected what was hap ening to all the vampires I could reach. Of course not Lestat, for sire and child could not mentally contact each other. But I was sure every vampire in the world got the mental pictures and screams of horror. A world-wide call for help. But would anyone ome?

I watched as the girl fled, powerful for a fledgeling, but still confused in a fledgeling's inane way. She would be my key...but then David, the cursed meddler was chasing her down. Quickly, I called upon my spirits, more powerful than David's Candomble weaklings, to surround the pair in the street. The dog began barking furiously, but I paid it no heed. One by one I would catch them, ending with Lestat, the one who had foiled my plans from the beginning...

The spirits surrounded them, condensed so that they could affect physical objects. Soon the very stones of the walkway were flying up to drive these two imotals apart, that I could capture the girl and exact my revenge...

Christine watched as Pandora took the child, then turned and bid farewell to us, determined to leave. It reminded me of her tantrums when she was young, how she hated her fear and her mistakes so much, she would come running to me for consoling. I turne to Lestat. "A moment, please, my friend, I must go to her." I turned before he could speak and flew after her, Aysha following on the ground. Of course, the dog reached her first and jumped up, licking her face. I landed and pulled Christine into my arms. "Do not despair, dear. I do not believe it is madness t at affects your heart, but the very same thing that Lestat and Louis both often suffer from...Conscience. Do not leave, I fear for our safety and I understand your concern for the human child. Indeed, it is in the heart of some vampires to love humans t is way, just as a human will love a pet, only more so because the vampire was once human herself. Come, I need your help...and your love."

I let Pandora take the child, knowing she was right. That the child would be better off dead. Still, my heart broke. I sat and wrapped my arms around my legs. "I hate mortals," I said suddenly. "They commit such evil on their own children and never stop t think what will happen to them. All they care about is the power they have over them. Look how they cry for the right to have abortions. It's not about not having a baby. It's about the fact they have power over that baby's life." I sighed. "I should've eft like I was going to before." Looking at David for a moment, I headed for the door. "Let you all be rid of the curse that is Christine Holmes. Thank Pandora for me, will you?" I slammed out and began to walk slowly up the street. Crying still. Such an vil world we live in. *At least you have Lestat, eh, Louis? I'm not jealous. You two belong together. Take good care of the Brat Prince, please, my brother. I love you all.* I hoped that would at least partly repaired the damage I had caused. I am a terri le vampire. But yet, I cannot end my own life. I decided instead it was time to search for the Queens themselves and let them decide my fate.

I saw beads of blood sweat break out on my lovers face as he raged at Christine. His t mples throbbed an I feared an aneurism at any moment. I hated to see him this way and so I was angry too. I turned away, lost in my own thoughts. Of course I knew, in my hopes of reunion with Lestat that things of this nature were bound to occur. Why d d he have to make this one? I couldn't help but feel that he got himself into all of his own messes, but then, I already knew that. *smile* Where were the others? My Claudia...had she forsaken me? I felt Lestat's hand clamp down upon my shoulder, shak ng me out of my hazy thoughts. His face held that look of displeasure which said he hoped I wasn't being maudlin again. What can I say, he knew me as well as I knew him. That was part of our problem, I laughed to myself.

Note: A mortal child?...

Comments:
As I returned to the townhouse, I immediately sensed the prescence of a mortal child. She was sleepy and uncertain of her surroundings, but deathly afraid that her stepfather would return to claim her. I hurried to the door, Aysha bounding ahead of me. Suddenly, I stopped dead as I relized Lestat had come. He was ranting at Christine in his typically Lestat fashion. Memories of our time together flooded my mind. He was angry with Christine for rescuing the poor child. He was telling her she must be id of her before Claudia destroyed her fragile mortal life. Aysha was sitting at Christine's feet, watching the child with the same protective nature that is inherent in all German Shepherds...I feared she would defend this child with her life, now and I couldn't let anyone hurt my companion...she always did tend to attach herself to the worst likely candidates for her protection. Even so, as I came closer to put an arm around Lestat, I saw the child and instantly fell in love with her. The same protect veness came over me as Aysha. I turned to Lestat. "Why be rid of her? Since when did you care about rules or another's opinion...surely you can protect this child from your own creation..."

Christine and David took off to go strengthen themselves. Claudia was still quiet, and blocking herself off. I still did not know why she was so quiet, or not with Louis. Quick as a flash, she left for a while. I left too, although not to feed. I sta ked the city a little while, thinking of my nightmare of the Talamasca that haunted me. Are they coming back? I did not want to reveal my whereabouts now, since I lost that townhouse already before Ireland. Sometimes I think about going back. The count y's song twinged at my soul strings. After what seemed to be enough time to permit the hunt of the young ones, I returned to the Lestat's mansion. I found Lestat there with Louis. Lestat was shaking Christine, who held a child in her arms. A cursory look into her mind revealed her hunt, a d parts of her madness I could now begin to see. I knew she broke the rules of bringing a mortal here, just as Claudia did centuries before. I did not want Lestat to get it into his mind to create this one into a vampire either. The mortal child began o wake up from the screams and cry. I moved in between the two of them and took the child from Christine's arms. I cradled the child, cooing in her ear. I turned to Christine and softly spoke,"As much as you want to save this child, she is beyond repai . She may grow up into her father's image. Do you want that? I must take her, but she will feel no pain." With my eyes challenging Lestat, and giving images to the child of fields of horses and happiness, I took her by the neck and drank her blood. I her life were secrets that could not be told, of her daddy playing game with her in the bedroom, and later on the beatings. "Anytime I want," was his motto. He could never go to therapy and be cured. At least Christine did something right. When at las her heartbeat is last beat, I took her over my shoulder and left, just as David was coming in. I went into the cemetery of Les Innocents and gave her a good burial. Suddenly Claudia came to me. "How was she?", she asked in a sarcastic, yet innocent ma ner. "Just as you might have been." I replied. She looked well fed. I grabbed her hand and returned to Lestat's townhouse. . .

Lestat came and started to shout at me. I began to cry and hold onto the child. "I don't want to make her a vampire, Lestat. I just want her to have a good home! Where will I take her? To some mortal foster parent who'll rape her like her step-father?" Th child began to sob and call Lestat daddy. Begging him not to hit mommy again. She clung to me with her thin arms. "Please tell me you know a safe place for her! Someone who'll care for her and love her! If you can tell me of such a place I'll take her th re!" The child buried her face into my shoulder and cried, afraid that Lestat was going to hit me then hurt her. "Shush, little one. He's not your "daddy" - he won't hurt me. He's just scared someone might hurt you. Please don't cry." I looked to Lestat, egging, "Please, please tell me the name of someone I can trust to love her like she deserves and I swear I'll take her to them."

Louis and I arrived back at the townhouse, not long after sunset. At first, I thought that the others were all out on the hunt, but then I detected Christine, sitting in a darkened corner of the parlor, and rocking a small mortal female child. She was c ooning softly to the little girl. Louis and I stood aghast at this sight, with all of its seeming implications. "Christine," I finally exclaimed, "Have you truly gone mad? What is this folly? Do you seek to make another such as our tormented Claudia? forbid it! That child can not stay here! You must take her back, or get rid of her some other way, before the others return. Christine!" I practically shouted, as she ignored me. I approached her, taking her by the shoulders, and shaking her none too gently, "Christine, the child must go now, for her own safety. Do you wish to see our Sweet Daughter Death make a meal of her? Claudia suffers from none of the scruples that presently bind me to evil-doers and death-seekers. She will consume the child, and suffer not one pang of remorse over the deed. Now, get her out of here!" I pulled Christine to her feet, and shoved her in the direction of the front door. She appeared to be too attached to this mortal child for anyone's good. I did not want the c ild's death on my hands, nor to witness her impending demise.

After we awoke and Pandora made her decrees that we needed to feed, I went out. For awhile I was tempted to follow David, but I changed my mind as I heard the whimpers of a child. In an alley I found her. Beaten black and blue and clutching a tattered ted y bear in her arms. There was blood on her tiny white thighs. Scanning her mind I saw her step-father violating her tiny body. No bigger then Claudia, if not smaller. So easy to bend to his will. I knew where he was and I floated up to the window. He was eaning out to yell for her. I grabbed him and ripped into his throat, seeing no point to give someone so evil pleasure. Once drained I left his body in the wet cement of a nearby building that was being repaired. The child was still there. I took her into my arms. I didn't have the heart to kill her. I didn't know what to do. Her mother was dead, beaten to death by her evil husband. There was no one for this child now. So I took her back. I washed her and fed her. I'm sure that Claudia or Pandora would put an end to her life, but for now I could give her a few minutes of joy, right? I stroked her dark hair and sang her to sleep as I rocked her. Like if she was the child my barren womb would never produce. I was not looking forward to the others coming and t king her away from me, but I knew it would happen. But for now.... for now I could give her the love she never knew.

Comments:
"Indeed, you are correct, Pandora. I needs must feed and I will return, come, Aysha..." I smiled at the gathering and disappeared out the door, Aysha bounding behind me. Amazing, really, how she could keep up with me when I traveled too fast for mortal eyes. Even if she fell behind, she could always track me to my kill. I searched for my favorite kill...those who were ready for death. Perhaps a killer who no longer deserved life, or an elderly person, sick of this life and ready to move on...I could ive each one the death they so rightfully deserved. Tonight, I entered the dwelling of an elderly woman. She was bound to her bed, imprisoned by the IV in her arm and the misderected good intentions of her family. She was a prisoner in her own house an begged to be released... to see real beauty one last time. I went to her and ripped the IV from her arm. She looked drowsily to me and I took her in my arms. I knew how grinding age could be. I had been a mortal at 74 once. I held her close and conv nced her mind that she was dreaming, then flew up into the atmosphere, showing her the beauty of an unobstructed view of the stars. Her breathing was laboured, but her mind marveled at the beauty and at that instant, I sank my fangs, gently into her frai neck, careful that she should not realize what was happening...and she went happily to oblivion. I cradled her close until the last drop was gone, the death hitting me hard, but having little effect, here where gravity had little pull on my body. I dri ted over the Gulf of Mexico and released the body, caring little if it managed to float to shore, by that time it would be little more than a collection of rotted limbs and the powerful Mississippi would keep it away from New Orleans...
Silently, I returned to the townhouse.

When next I awoke, I realized there were more people here than I had originally thought. There was amongst us, a child and I realized, this must be Claudia...the child death whom Lestat had dreamed of so much. I had never told him this, but I had suspec ed that his dreams were the result of her survival. I had dreaded telling him this for fear he would seek her out and discover she still bore him ill will. I didn't know how their meeting had turned out, but as I gazed on her small figure, I discovered hat I had a great respect for this woman who had suffered the same fate when given the dark gift as I...made unwillingly, she had come to despise her maker. I no longer despised Lestat, but I could see how she could for though we were both made against o r will, she was infinitely at a disadvantage that I did not have to deal with...size. I bowed to her as any proper gentleman should do for a proper lady. "Good evening my lady...I fear we have not been properly introduced, nor you..." I said, looking at the other who had joined us the night before,"I am David Talbot and I am pleased to make your aquaintance...if you would be pleased to give me your names so that we may be on a more familiar basis..."

Comments:
(OCC damn it got busy all of the sudden) I was greeted at door by a young looking man, with the sould of an old one, and young woman too. Meanwhile a dog bounded up to me. I bent down to pet it and then sent it on its way inside. So this was Lestats m nsion. David invited me to let my guard down, which I did. Sudden messages from near and far came to me. I turned to David and said, "Lestat is in Paris...with Louis. He will come back as soon as he can. I am not inclined to trust his word. BTW, I think C audia will be making an appearance soon." Within 15 minutes there was another knock at the door. Claudia entered. She looked at Christine, a confusion of emotions over her face in a quick sucession. 2 sisters and a brother. What a father Lestat is. Meanwhile I began to feel dawn faster than I anticipated. Christine suddened grabbed Claudia in a hug, but reached out to David and me. "Come, dawn is upon us. Let us go down to the cellar." I grabbed some blankets. The cellar had an extremely mu ty scent. I picked a section of a futon on the ground, wrapped my self in blankets, closed off my presence, and dreammed. The nightmares of the Talamasca plundered into my dreams.

When I got there, I discovered that Pandora was there, and Christine, and David, as well. t had been a long time since David had been there, but it was almost dawn, so we must all retire, to pass the day in blessed darkness.

Louis and I had barely arrived in Paris when I received an urgent message from Pandora. She sensed danger in the city, and informed me that someone had arrived, someone whom I had not seen in quite some time. That could only be one person...my beloved D vid. How Louis would take this news, I could only guess. I told Pandora that we would return the following night. Then, I turned Louis to face me, and gently explained to him that our private interlude would have to be postponed. He understood that we must return to New Orleans, if Pandora sensed danger was in the air. Louis was extremely disappointed, but he did his best to remain in good spirits. We retired for the day, sleeping entwined in each other's arms, just as he so loved us to do.

I watched gleefully as the sun rose over Louisiana. David had sensed my menace...the damned man...but there was nothing even he could do when the sun soared over his location. I had 13 hours of daylight to gather my forces. Sluggishly, I shifted my con ciousness to Amsterdam where my temporary acting Superior General sat uncomfortably at his desk. His mind was easy to manipulate, but not strong enough to stand me for long. I remembered David when he was acting Superior General. I had thought his mind would be strong enough to stand me, only to find out he could resist me altogether, so I had laid low during his time and twisted the minds of those soon to ascend...it had worked, until he got out of control. Now my new protege was on his way but not ye ready. In the meantime... The call went out for agent teams to gather in New Orleans...no one knew what was going on, but like the fanatics they were...they didn't question orders.

I felt the thrill along my skin as my body warned me of the danger of the sun approaching over the horizon just as I heard the knock at the door. I gently stood up, placing Christine on her feet and went to the door. Outside, stood a vampire, her age fl wing over me like a powerful wave. there was power in that seemingly harmless body. Power I had no wish to fight with. I felt no menace from her, though. Actually, I felt very little from her. I sighed, "Lestat never closed himself to me. Please, do not think I mean you harm. I have come to help..." Behind me, Aysha woke and joined me at my side, her eyes calm. Better, even than I , the German Shepherd could sense that this vampire meant no harm...for the moment. **Yet another reason I keep the d g as my companion** I mused to myself...

Thoughts wisped through my mind. First Marius is no longer with me, and I am worried about Claudia. Now I waited for a response from this new young one. I could assume he was of Lestat, since Lestat seemed to love making fledglings. I then received a " essage" that he wanted me to meet him at Lestats mansion. This was going to get interesting! As I started to his mansion, the swampland smells and voodoo rhythms weaved a spell around me, while the warning of danger invaded my mind/ I came to the mansion, masking my presence until I was upon the door. It looked like the swamp had invaded the yard! I knocked lightly and waited for someone to open the door. Dawn felt like a few hours away. . .

I had just felt the inquiry of a very old vampire when Christine burst through the door and landed in my lap. She was so happy to see me! Her story spilled out in a raging torrent and I held her as I listened, gently stroking her hair. Anger welled as he related the cruelty of my predecessor, the Superior General, and I almost regretted giving up the position but the Talamasca would not have accepted my vampiric status even though it was populated with all manner of supernatural beings. When she menti ned Memnoch, I was surprised. I had thought him gone. "Shhh," I said softly when she finished her tale, "I'm sorry I did not respond sooner. It was only recently that I felt the danger. We must band together. I am sorry you have suffered so much and ray your death was not against your will. However, I cannot help but think of what one philosopher once said, 'That which does not kill us makes us stronger.' Indeed, you must be very strong." I mused at what she had been through. Gently, I called to he one in New Orleans who had responded. **Come to Lestat's townhouse if you please.** Perhaps there would be hope for us after all. I cradled Christine in my arms, wishing fervently that I had been there as any good father would have been. Together, w waited for the other to come.

As I flew towards New Orleans I heard a voice in my mind. DAVID! I sped up my flight until I was right there - bursting thru the doors and throwing myself into David's lap like I used to when I was little and scared of something a Talamasca member started to drill into me. Ghosts and witches could be very frightening to a small child, after all. I kissed him and hugged him. "David! Oh David! I've been looking for you for so long! I ran away from the Talamasca and lived on the streets - they couldn't catch e though. But the Superior General did finally after I met Lestat and Louis and everyone else and he raped me but Lestat killed him...." The entire story came pouring out at warp speed. All the way up to the Burnt One, Memnoch, the angel, and Niki. Then I rested my head on his shoulder. "I've missed you SO much, David! I kept looking for you the entire time I was running - I knew if anyone could help me it would be you."

I flung out my senses, trying to find any trace of my fellow vampires. Truly, New Orleans was devoid of the undead. I wondered at this and threw my senses further abroad. Far, far to the west I could feel a gentle glimmer, which I remembered from my yo nger days in the Talamasca, but it had the flavor of the undead to it. Had my dear, sweet Christine been killed? I hoped fervently that it had not been against her will as it had been against mine. To the east, I felt the prescence of Louis. In the ci y, there remained others, whom I did not know. They had age and power, but even they were in danger and I didn't quite know how best to approach them, so I hailed Christine directly instead..."My dear Christine...I am sorry I have taken so long to come t you, but we are all in danger. Come to the townhouse in New Orleans. I await you here." I sat back, hoping she would respond. I wanted nothing to happen to my dear Christine for I felt toward her as a very loving father does to his only child...

I floated outside the window. I lucked out tonight, my family had gotten together to celebrate the arrival of a newborn baby boy. I could hear them talking. They were going to name him Christain. After me. I felt the blood tears streaking my face and I ha to hold back sobs. The baby began to cry. I realize - damn it! He could sense me! He probably had the same talent I had. I mentally cried out to my family - *Don't let the Talamasca get him! They're evil! Evil! I'm dead because of them! Keep him far - fa away from the Talamasca! If you have any sense you'll run far away and hide. The baby is not evil! The Talamasca are!* I watched them look around confused and opening the window I entered, fogging their minds so they thought I was a ghoat. Christain wail d. "Look at me! I am dead and the Talamasca sent me to my grave. I was raped and murdered by their Superior General. It is not your fault. It is the Talamasca's fault. Leave this place and change your names. Hide. Go far away and hide or baby Christain wi l end up just like me!" With that I sped out the window and unfogged their minds. I sat nearby and listened to them babble. They thought I was an angel here to warn them and with that they were getting ready to leave. I would make sure - from far away - t at the Talamasca would never find my little nephew. I began to race back to New Orleans. Hoping to get there before the sun rose. But if I had to I'd make a stop-over in Texas. Then tomorrow night, onto Europe.

I watched, satisfied as the vampires scattered, each going their separate ways, oblivious to my eyes watching them. They would be easy prey, now. I mourned that I had not been successful in destroying them when I overtook Akasha's mind. Unfortunately, any escaped, thanks to that damned vampire Lestat. He knew too much of the spirit realm, but he still didn't know about me! I had been an enemy of Amel's since before time began and the fact that he had finally acheived some semblance of mortality infur ated me. I wanted so to reach out and destroy each and every undead creature beneath me, but my insubstantial hands could not touch them. However, my helpers could. The fanatics after which I called myself had lost their leader but would soon regroup. I would give them a new leader. They were all expendable anyway. Pitiful mortal lives meant nothing in the great scheme of things. The mortals think their realm is all that exists, but what else could come from such limited thinking. Yes, my fanatics ould touch them and hurt them, as could my warriors and mercenaries. Separate, I would take them down and torture the spirit Amel out of each of them, one by one. I laughed as I floated silently above the Earth, imagining God must have felt this way whe he completed his project...but now, his project was up for grabs and chaos could easily break loose. Good...I love chaos!

After the plane landed and we disembarked, Aysha at my side, I looked around slowly. It seemed like forever since I had seen New Orleans. Strangely, it seemed empty of vampire life. I wondered where everyone had gone and felt a stab of fear in my gut. f they were all gone, how was I to tell them of the danger? Somehow, I must find them and bring them back together. Separate, they had no chance of survival, but together, we might just pull through. Commanding Aysha to wait for me, I rose into the air and sent the call out, "Whoever should hear my call, there is great danger in the works for all living vampires, gather in New Orleans should you care to survive..." I wasn't sure if they would know it was me, but surely someone would answer the warning. I returned to the ground, called Aysha and sought out Lestat's old, dark townhouse to settle in and wait...

Aysha growled softly at my side and I silenced her with a gesture. The mortals on the plane looked nervously in my direction but knew better than to say anything. There had been a time that my ageless eyes had been in place in the face of a wizened old an, but that had changed greatly and my youthful countenance often made mortals very nervous. "Such eyes do not belong in the face of one so young" I had often heard whispered behind my back. Like Gabrielle, I had ventured out to explore the world, trav lling from place to place and learning as any good scholar is wont to do, but recently, many voices had begun calling to me. At first, I ignored their call until, I finally recognized the most persistent of them all...Christine. My little Christine who ad been my child when I had none. I had known of her danger in the Talamasca and would have been the instrument of her escape had Lestat, that blasted devil, not distracted me. I forgive him everything, though, even the taking of my life, for in death, have found life. From a distance, I kept tabs on the Talamasca, so knew of their recent loss of the Superior General. Of course, he had not been in as much control as he liked to think. Precisely the reason I declined the position so long ago anyway. No, the Superior General did not control the Talamasca. Just who did, though remained a mystery to me. One thing I do know, however, is that there is terrible danger afoot. I go to Lestat because others of our kind have always gravitated toward him. A my side, Aysha sighed gently, lost in whatever dreams dogs may have, my faithful companion always. In the distance, the lights of New Orleans began to draw close. I knew Lestat would not sense my prescence, being my maker, but I could feel those of sim lar blood to me in the city below. What a reunion this would be!

I couldn't find Niki - no matter where I looked. Sighing, I went to the townhouse. Making sure I was seen by no-one, I wrote a note to Lestat and the others. I explained I would be leaving for awhile. That I sensed we all were no longer close now that I w s no longer a mortal. I needed some time away from them. Time to sort things out. To show I hadn't gone mad - except with relief. I thought maybe I might just peek in on my mortal family and make sure they were all okay. I hadn't seen them in years.... It was a goodbye in a way. Time to break everything about my mortal past. Maybe I'd find David or something. I didn't know. "Hell, Lestat, maybe I can start another Theatre Des Vampires - Just kidding! Unless you wanted me to...." Sighing, I put the letter w ere I thought they would find it. Biting my finger, I put a bloody finger-print as the signature. I bet the Talamasca would love to get their hands on that. I took what belonged to me and left. Taking off into the sky, I aimed towards California....

I stroll toward the French Quarter, skimming the shadows, search for Claudia's presence. Where is she? She called out to me, and now she is not around. What is this, a game of hide-and-go-seek? I can go seek others if I need to. I search along the dance clubs and the waterfronts, but still I wait. IF she does not come soon, I shall go seek her siblings or father to find out what happened to her.

Louis and I sat in companionable silence at the dining room table. I suppose, had we been mortal still, we would have shared a couple of glasses of wine or sherry, but such as we were not, we simply sat, fingers interlaced, and lost in our own thoughts. Suddenly, a vision came to me and I spoke, startling Louis from his contemplation. "Nicki is not dead. Memnoch saved him. He is sending me these disturbing images." I frowned, "I grow exceedingly weary of this whole situation, Louis. What say you we scape for awhile, just the two of us? All here is relatively calm, and Claudia can take care of herself. She will be safe with Pandora. Perhaps this time apart will help her come to accept our togetherness, and when we return, we can be the family that I always longed for us to be. How about it, Louis? London, Paris, Rome, which one strikes your fancy?" Louis's face lit up at the thought of our going away alone, so it was only left for us to choose a destination. I hoped for Paris, myself, my old ho e town, so long ago...

"Really Nicki, you've disappointed me, not as much as your blood father, but still." Memnoch growled. Nicki's skin was charred and blistered, his hair burnt away, he grimaced in pain. "Why won't you just let me die?" "Where's the fun in that, Nicolas? ou're more useful to me here then taking up room in hell." Nikki looked at his surrondings and confortably luaghed, noticing that he was laying on an autopsy(sp?) table. Memnoch took a scalpel and slowly pushed it into his wrist, he held it close to Nico as' face "Drink." Nicolas burst into laughing. "I'm not that mad!" "At least I care about you Nicolas, I stopped the fire, I pulled you back into your body as you were making your descent to hell! I didn't see anyone trying to save you!! Not even your dea Lestat! He rather you rot in Sual all eternity then deal with you when he had a second chance!" Nicolas looked down at his scortched feet. "I didn't want to BE SAVED!" he hissed. Memnoch looked at him. "I'm just trying to help you." "You don't do anythi g for anyone unless they do something for you!" Nicolas was tiring of the devils company and tried to sit up, but finding the pain overwhelming fell back onto the table. "I'm offering you a choice Nicolas! Live a bleak existence here (since I refuse to le you return to hell, you're to valuable now) Were no one cares for your company, a horrible lonely existence! Or take my blood and have your vengence as you will!!! Have power, make fledglings..." Nicolas cut him off, "You think I would make others of you TAINTED blood?!" The two starred at each other in anger and hate. Nicolas was thinking things over in his head. "No angel will save you Nicolas." The devil mummbled. Nikki looked at him in saddness, he had nothing to loose (Except what little was lef of his sanity and soul).

When Lestat and I returned and found the townhouse empty, I was not surprised. I wondered if Claudia would return at all. Something told me she was alright, and that she was not alone. I mused about what had so startled Lestat earlier that night. Nicolas: my immortal brother. I had never really been a fan of his, and I figured Lestat knew this. So he had done away with himself eh? Well, yes, but this had reportedly happened before. Nicki was beyond help in my opinion, and only time would tell. Indeed the p st few days had been so full of new beginnings and strange occurances that nothing would surprise me. Ah well, such is life as an immortal. I laughed to myself as I sat in the dining room with Lestat at the big oak table. Well, the night was relatively mi dle-aged by this point and I wondered what he had planned. I knew only that I wanted some time when it was just us, maybe we could go off somewhere, or...oh....my thoughts stopped abruptly as he spoke to me.

I almost went into the sun, you know. I felt I was going to go mad. I don't know where I ended up, my mind blocked that out - but I remember feeling pain in my leg like burning. I remember hearing Niki's screams in my mind. I remember calling out to someo e for help. Some human looking down at me. Grabbing her and draining her dry. I think I need to get away from New Orleans. Go to France and visit all the places Lestat mentioned in his books. I wonder if his tower where Magnus made him still existed. I wo ld want to go there - for that's where it began for my blood father.... Yes, I'd ask him and go. Right after I found out what happened to Niki.

While waiting for Claudia's response, I went "shopping". I began a cursory mind scan for the right type of victim. I found him in the form of a dealer of kiddie porn in one of the more established neighborhoods. I caused him to wander thru the park, an sat on the bench waiting for him to pass by. He sat next to me, using the usual one liners. Making sure no one was around, I whispered to him a scene I might want, and could he get it for me? I slid next to him and took his throat. The blood was so robust, but the images of photographs he had in his brain of children sickened me. Some involved were younger than Claudia at the time of her death before Lestat took her. I could not handle it. Instead I covered his wound and broke his neck. I lit the bench on fire and fled the scene. The mind is not always a terrible thing to waste. . . At last I heard Claudia's response. She wanted to meet at my place. I told her to meet me at the French Quarter. I did not want to go back to my place just yet. . . .

I was content with Louis's answer, and for a long time we lay together in silence, just enjoying this new closeness between us. Suddenly, I sat up, clutching my leg, which had just been seized by a burning agonizing pain. Louis was alarmed, and wanted t know what was wrong. I clenched my hand on his arm until the sensation passed, and I had caught my breath again. A fleeting image had flashed through my mind along with the pain. "It's Nicki," I exclaimed, "He has gone into the fire, yet again." My f rst impulse was to seek him out, and see if he could be saved, but I shook off that feeling. "Perhaps it is for the best. Now, if only Memnoch will let him rest in peace..." I stood up, pulling Louis with me. "Come, let us return home." I put my arm round his shoulders, and he held on as we flew back to the townhouse. The lights were still blazing, but Claudia had not returned.

Nicolas choaked at the blood that had just been forced down his throat, the giver, Christine had disappeared into the night. He fell off the roof of the crypt feeling pain as her blood slid down into his stomach. Nikki got up off the ground and tried to run, he had to get away from the graveyard, he could Memnoch laughing at him, at his vain attempt to escape what would soon be coarsing through his body. Nikki hit a tombstone and fell. **She's piosoned me** he thought. He rolled over onto his back and saw Memnoch standing above him. "Oh really Nicolas, you can't escape me," he smiled. "It's only a matter of time before I'm in you." Memnoch laughed again. Nicolas got up and ran again. Perhaps if there was one creature he hated more then Lestat it w s Memnoch. He could feel Christine's blood entering his veins. It was slowly making sense, everything that had happened sence he got back all connected to Memnoch, in one way or another, the most being the devils angry persuit for Lestat. He realized h would have the need for more of the blood he had tasted, sweet yet stinging like venom. He entered the streets of town. He knew for some reason Memnoch had wanted him to taste that blood. **I'd rather go back to hell then succome to you** He thought. He had 2 choices as he looked at it, he could do nothing and wait to see what memnoch wanted or follow the first rule of dealing with the devil and destroy himself. Although the former seemed more rational, he decided on the latter. He knew his death c uldn't wait till sun-up, Lekaire's blood (what gave him the brief hold on sanity) would be long diluted by then.... Nicolas rummaged through his pockets, he had plenty of money (taken from his most recent victims) but nothing to start a fire. Happening u on a convience store Nickie was quick to buy a lighter. He walked out into the streets flipping it over and over again in his hands. He sighed. He bent over and lit his pant leg, almost immediately his leg cuaght fire, radiating a great glare of light. He heard humans screaming about him, he could feel someone trying to beat the fire out...Pain drove Nikki into unconscousness (now I know that's an sp, but I'm in a hurry, sorry). His last thought before falling into it's sweet darkness, wondering if his family could sense what had happened.

We lay on the damp bitter-smelling banks of the river talking...his hands wound in my long hair, and his heart steadily beating beneath my ear. Would I change it at all...was I happy?Lestats words rolled through my head. In many ways I did not want to answer his question. We had been over this in some form or another in each passing decade. There were moments of resentment on each of our parts, and times when in our anger I was sure we both wished none of what we are would have occurred. After some oments of this quiet thought I answered him. "For all we are," I laughed "We cannot predict the future.I cannot say that things would have been better had they been different, or not happened at all. They may have been radically reversed of what is now, b t would things have been better..would you and I have been happy? Lovers? I dont know Lestat." I reached my hand inside his shirt and caressed him lovingly. "Claudia...never would I change, despite everything. I would not want to change things between yo and I either. We have had our battles and sorrows, but look where we are now. As for the rest, it is as mortals say 'done and over with' I can only take from our past and look to our future. I am happy." With those words I lay quiet, my head on his ches as I looked out over the black water of the Mississippi.

Louis was not happy that I wanted to go out again, but at least I wanted to get away from the crowds that he loathed so much. We went outside. There was a full moon, and a slight breeze. "Come, old friend, let's fly!" Before he could protest, I caught him up, and we were off. I knew that he hated this mode of travel, but it was the quickest route... I set us down outside of the city, near the river. I laughed at his discomfort, and kissed him quickly. My spirits were lifting already. I grabbed his hand, and pulled him along with me, as I ran through the tall grasses at the river's edge. Then I flopped down in a slight clearing, with my hands behind my head, contemplating the night. Louis laid down next to me, and put his head on my chest. I free one hand, and stroked his hair. "Louis, if you had it all to do again, would you do it differently? Me, Claudia, Armand, any of it? I would not change anything, not Claudia, not Akasha, not Memnoch, none of it, for it all has brought us to this moment in time. Would you, Louis? Would you change any of it? Are you happy, Louis?" I waited for his response, feeling content for the first time in a very long while. The rest of the world seemed very far away right now...

Videos and documentaries flicker past my eyes and into my mind. I have locked myself into my townhouse, shunning all contact for the while, not seeking the company of others in this city, trying to shield myself from the pain. I have tried to reconcile with Marius, to begin anew, but what does he want? Another woman, and a fledgling to boot. What a slap in the face! I thought I was the true love of his "life". Well I can wait out this new temporary relationship. Otherwis I can survive by myself. I am used to being alone anyway . . Suddenly a lust for blood takes over me, not a need just a taste. It is about time I wander around anyway. I need to explore this city and let her entertain me for a bit. While scanning for a worthy victim, a cry of lonliness invades my being. It is Claudia. What has happened? I thought she was with Louis. I debate for a moment about meeting her, but I would rather have her as my first contact of kin after the pas couple of weeks. I sent out a question to her about where does she want to meet. . . .

"Go out?" I asked as he pulled me to my feet. "But we just were out Lestat..." I stared at him somewhat puzzled. Well, I should be used to his impulsiveness by now, I said to myself. I wished that simply loving him could ease his torments, but I knew real stically that he would have to work them out in his own way and also, that he would not tell me what was bothering him until he was ready. With his pleading for me to accompany him and his warm promise of intimacy I agreed to go with him. I kissed his che k lightly and said, "Where is is you wish to go? Outside the city yes? away from the bars and the noise? Maybe along the river we could walk." I let him take my hand and lead me outside. He seemed to pause as if testing the air, sensing things I could not detect. Well Lestat, I thought, I will not ask, I fear nothing when I'm with you.

I could sense that Louis was craving peace and privacy for us this night, but my maudlin mood was leading me to a craving for open spaces, and I was starting to feel restless and trapped. I stood up so quickly that I almost tumbled Louis onto the floor. I wiped the remnants of the blood tears from my cheeks, and grabbed Louis by the hand, pulling him to his feet. "Come, mon amour, let us go out and walk, outside the city. I need to be out in the night air, in the moonight. Will you come?" I smiled my most beguiling smile at him, "When we return, we will lay together, during our sleep, as we did yesterday." I waited for his reply.

So rare were these times when I saw him vulnerable. In a way it was beautiful, seeing him open and his motions stirred. I held him, and waited patiently as he lamented. At times I thought it was good that he and I couldn't read one another's thoughts. Wor s did what pure thought transfer could not - forced the speaker and the listener to observe the intensity of the emotion involved. Right now I sensed that my beloved was weary of his world. I couldn't help but think a smile inside my head. Not that I was n any way thinking him funny, as I watched his tears but being Lestat was never and could never be easy. I caressed his face and bent to kiss him. "I think, Lestat," I said quietly "That if Claudia wants to be with us, she will. I never got the chance to ell her what exactly we ...wanted. You know, for her to be included with our happiness. She has always been strong-willed. You know that, and at any rate, it may be best if you and I have time for just the two of us." I paused to readjust myself so that was almost lying beside him. I thought of what he had asked me,.."Dare I truly trust that these new deep feelings of yours are sincere? Can you honestly be satisfied with me and my values?" My hand traced slow and delicate patterns on the blood warmed skin of his face. I was not angered by his words, he had absolute reason to be wary. So often Lestat had been betrayed by his wanting of companionship and fidelity, and yes, I had been among th betrayers. "Lestat," I said quietly.."I dont know what the future holds. I can only tell you that I love you my friend. I love you more than anything ever I could have loved. You must come, in your own time to judge whether this is my truth or not. Your alues...yes I know them, and I must compromise and accept you as you are, as I should have done ages ago. It will not be easy, I know...but you are trying to accomodate me.. I can see it already. So it is I must accomodate you." I smiled at him but remain d silent, my eyes held his and I waited expectantly. I hoped secretly that he would take me into a more private room where we could spend at least part of our evening showing each other the depth of our feelings.

I met Louis, walking from the opposite direction, as I approached the townhouse. He kissed me very sweetly, but he could see that I was distracted. I put my arms around him, and held him to me, inhaling his familiar scent. "Louis, mon cher ami, I am fee ing quite pensive tonight. My mind is adrift in the past. Come, let us go in, and sit together." We entered the house, and made ourselves comfortable in the parlor. I laid my head on Louis's shoulder, for once giving the illusion that he was the stron er of we two. Louis stroked my hair, until I spoke again, "Do you think that Claudia will adjust to our new situation, mon cher? Dare I truly trust that these new deep feelings of yours are sincere? Can you honestly be satisfied with me and my values?" I turned my face into his neck, and felt one slow blood tear slide down my cheek. How I longed for peace, and consistency, some brief respite in my immortal existence. I did not want to have to destroy Nicki, but that day was fast approaching. Christine's sanity was in question, as well. Claudia had deserted us, at least temporarily. So much pain, so much conflict. I was tired, tired unto the pit of my soul. Could Louis really be offering me the peace that I sought, that I craved? I sighed and Louis tipped my face up to the light, and I waited for his reply.

I walked back to the townhouse feeling the warmth of the young scoundrel's bloodcourse through me. On the way I wondered about our futures, all of us. Claudia seemed intent to pursue her own ideals and not cleave to Lestat and I. When I thought of it now wondered if it was not for the best. She was right...we often still wrongly thought of her as a child and she was not. Part of me, didn't really mind. I had Lestat back, I thought, and I was going to do everything I could to preserve that. I smiled to my elf as I neared home, seeing Lestat approaching from the other direction. I walked to him and laid my arm lightly atop his. I used no words to greet him but instead offered him the warmth of a tender kiss.

After Louis left, I wandered the streets aimlessly for awhile, then I realized that I was in the mood for a mortal female tonight. Of course, black unredeemable souls are much more common among mortal men, but it is not impossible to find a woman who mee s my standards. I made my way down to the waterfront, and it was not long before one approached me. "Hey, pretty boy, wanna party?" I winced at the sound of her voice, cold and dead, and probed her mind, to discover if it matched her voice. Indeed, sh was a perfect prospect. She was a crack addict, and a prostitute, needing to score in a bad way. Right now, her blood was relatively clean. She had just been released from jail, after being arrested for leaving her 3 children unattended for 5 days. I truth, they would be better off without her. I smiled at her, and stopped walking, waiting for her to continue. She stroked my lips with the tip of one shaky finger, and a wistful note crept into her voice. "You have a nice smile, mister. I used to be beautiful, too." She screwed up her face into a grimace, that passed for a smile, and took my arm. Together, we walked into the nearby alley. At least she was an honest whore. There was no man waiting to jump me, as was frequently the case. She started to pull up her tiny skirt, but I stopped her with a hand on her arm, and shook my head at her. Sh looked confused, so I took her in my arms, and began to nuzzle her neck. Her skin was still clean, and smelled of institutional soap. I smoothed her hair away from her throat, and sank my fangs into her jugular, at the same time bringing one hand down ver her eyes. She relaxed in my arms, and sighed, as the unique ecstacy flooded her nerve endings. She died peacefully, and pleasurably. I gently laid her body down on the ground in the darkest corner, and walked back out into the soft moonlight. I wo dered if Louis had returned to the townhouse yet? I began to make my way back there, whistling. My mood had lightened coniderably. A good meal always has that effect, n'est pas?

The night air was rich and humid, and I wandered the streets alone for some time, glad that Lestat was not with me. I loved him, yes, perhaps now more than ever but I also cherished my private moments, when thoughts alone were my companions. As I walked I thought of Claudia. I wondered where she was now, and if I would ever have the chance to fully explain to her. I had not intended to hurt her, but then...Suddenly someone grabbed my arm! "You looking for trouble man?" the greasy youth asked me, "Or maybe, ou're out looking for some company?" He taunted with effeminate gestures. God how they made killing so easy, I thought. "Whichever you prefer," I smiled wryly "Trouble or company" He looked at me puzzled for a second then he slammed me against the brick b ilding by which I stood. "Listen pretty boy," He exclaimmed, his breath foul with stale liquer. "I ain't got the time to play no games witch you, now yous better play along nice or you'll be sorry man!" I should kill him for his grammer alone I tho ght. I grabbed him harshly and before I sank my fangs into him I let him see me for what I was and the terror in his eyes flooded my heart seconds before his blood filled my veins. He slumped in death to the ground and I leaned against the wall to steady yself as the blood-swoon hit me. I laughed and laughed. Ah Lestat, I am more your child than you know!

Memnoch stared at us both - then just - vanished. "He wants Lestat - and will stop at nothing to get him." I murrmered, to myself more then Nikki. Then looking to my mad brother, I took him in my arms and bit my tongue, shoving it deep in his throat as I et him taste the blood of one who has drank from a burned elder, Memnoch, and an angel. Just enough to entice him before I turned and vanished. Laughing. Yet - I was terrified. Memnoch around - Memnoch staring at us both. Memnoch saying to me and me only, *Bring me Louis....*

Nicolas turned around slowly, Memnoch, here? He looked into his granite face. "Today is such a bad day to be sane." Nickie muttered. He slowly bent down and picked up his violin, knowing that the stone eyes were watching his every move. Memnoch kept g ancing at Christine, then back to Nickie. Nicolas slowly took a step back. **So which one of us is he after Christine, me or you?** He luaghed, this was the first time he was actually confused who the devil was coming for. He took another slow step bac , standing now near the edge of the roof, an easy escape. "I'm not going back...." He said. Memnoch's silence worried him.

I called out to Pandora, not certain of weather she was in the city. "Pandora, where are you? come to me please!" I needed someone who would perhaps understand me. Niether of those two ever had, and I doubted they ever would. I deceided then that I would not go back there for some time. I needed to be away from them both for a while, and as long as I knew Louis was alright, I knew that I could stay away.

I shook my head at Louis, "Non, mon amour, you go ahead, and I will follow. Our styles, shall we say, are not the same..." My voice trailed off, as a sudden chill ran down my spine. Louis asked me what was wrong, but I just frowned at him, "I don't kno exactly. I have not had a feeling like this for centuries, as if I were mortal still, and someone walked over my grave..." I shook off the strange sensation, and smiled at Louis to reassure him, "It was nothing. You go ahead. I will be along. Then, erhaps we can spend a quiet evening together, here, in the townhouse. Would that suit your fancy?" I knew that Louis was not fond of the local nightlife, as I was. If this was to work between us,compromises would need to be made on both of our parts. on dieu, I suddenly felt so old! Such a mature attitude, so unlike my usual self-serving viewpoint. Perhaps there was hope for Louis and myself, after all. Perhaps. Only time could tell that tale. Louis left, to go and feed, and I followed soon after more out of habit, than any particularly great overwhelming need. Like the old ones, I was finding that I could refrain from feeding, on occasion, without being overtaken by the blood thirst. It was an ability that I greatly appreciated, at times, but onight, I needed the distraction of the hunt. I could not quite rid myself of the feeling that something was not right, out there, in my city. Perhaps it was Nicki...

I laughed, then I embraced Nikkie and kissed his cheek - for shock value more then anything. "We're all mad, brother. Just each in a different way." I danced on the roof top, then allowed myself to float in mid-air. "I came to see my insane brother. You w re the first of Lestat's children. His most beloved. Your death sent him into the ground. I wanted to see what was so special about you." I laughed again - then frozen in fear as I saw him. Standing behind Nikkie. His black wings standing so straight and tiff out of his back. "Hello, Memnoch."

Comments:
I sat there on the couch after she rushed out of the room. Wearing a smile of irony, and lost to my thoughts I did not attempt to go after her nor did I notice Lestat enter the room until he sat himself down beside me. I turned to him then "Why does it al ays have to be so difficult Lestat?" I asked him "Us with Claudia..You with Nicolas or me ...Me with you..Why can't our loves be simple? But no, we have to suffer the same obstacles to our happiness as mere mortals." I sighed and relaxed back into his arm for a moment, thinking. She'd run out of the room in the fashion of the child she claimed so not to be. Perhaps it was time - this time that I worried not about who accepted Lestat and I together. Perhaps she needed this time alone to be the woman she s wanted to be. I didn't have the answers. As he held me he ran his fingers through my hair and told me he was sorry it hadn't gone the way I'd hoped. Not much ever doesI thought. I rose from the couch and stretched. I was famished and I needed to f ed. I bent to kiss Lestat's cheek. "I need to go out now ...You... don't want to come with me tonight do you?" I said to him in more of a statement than a question.

Nicolas looked at her, laughing softly to himself. "You've reached me at at bad time." He laughed... "You know Christine, you can tell one is mad by their gestures, the way they talk, but those, they can be faked. But the eyes, you can tell one is mad b their eyes, nothing can come close to the way they look. But I look into your eyes, I don't see anything that even indicates you're mad.....Funny isn't it." Nicki said. "Now what do I own the Pleasure of this visit?" He asked sarcastically.

I felt the anger of the previous night return to me. So they had decieded to repair their realationship, and they expected me to be happy about this? "Excuse me my darling Louis," I said harshly,"If I refuse to be the maid of honor at your wedding. Oh, an , when is this time you speak of when Lestat and your self were so happy together. If recolection serves, I came into this acursed existance only because you claimed that you were going to leave Lestat. Of course our poor little brat could not have that, h no! better get Louis a new toy to keep him with me! Well, here I am Louis! Here I am! Why don't any of you understand, I am not a child anymore! I havn't been for quite some time. You can't buy my love with diamond rings, or porcelain dolls! You have ne er seen me as a woman, only as your little Claudia, your doll! Well, I refuse to be your play thing any longer! You cannot just put me aside when you find somthing you like better, it's not as simple as that, why can't you understand? Why?" With that I stormed uot of the room, passing Lestat in the doorway. Out the door I went and into the warm night air.

Surprisingly, Louis awoke before I did, a rare occurence indeed. I went to find him, and as I approached the parlor, I could hear him speaking softly to Claudia, but not softly enough... I silently got closer, and stood right outside the door, where I c uld overhear their private conversation, without being seen. Ever the Brat...

*Nikkie? Nikkie where are you?* I laughed and reached out my mind to find him. Then using the powers I gained during my ordeal with the elder vampire, Memnoch, and the angel, I flew to the spot where Nikkie sat. "Hello, brother-dear...." I purred.

Nicolas had left the scene of his latest crime and returned to his graveyard crypt where he rested for the day. The night had come and he sat on it's roof waiting. His head was pounding, much like that of a hangover. Nicolas knew he was sane, at least or the moment, he blamed the spell on Lekaire's blood, that was running through his viens. He looked up at the sky, the stars in their soft black blanket....Nikki liked insanity more, he didn't have to deal with a conscience. He heard Christine calling im, he didn't block his mind to her, but didn't bother to respond..... *let her find me herself* he thought. He knew soon Lestat would find out what he had done last night, but the likelyness of Lestat killing him was slim, if he was in spirit form again and didn't go to hell, imagine what he would do then. He waited, it was all a matter of time, before Christine foudn him, before Lestat killed him...... He watched the moon......

Comments:
I awoke the next evening before Lestat did, and slowy I slipped from his side to go and find Claudia. From the look on her face lastnight as I had left her I knew she expected my "News" to be bad. I sincerely hoped that she wouldn't feel that way once I t ld her. Hunger pulled at me as Lestat and I had fed early last evening, but I wanted to see my fair child before I went out. I found her in the library of the townhouse. Looking up as I entered, she smiled at me in a fashion that told me she was waiting t hear what I had refused to tell her lastnight. "Claudia," I said as she came to sit by me "... I ..didn't think it would happen, but.." She looked at me with impatient eyes. "Lestat and I - Claudia. He has agreed to try and have a new relationship with m , as it was all too briefly ages ago...as it should have been all along with us!" I couln't contain my happiness as I told her. I wished I could give to her the image of that kiss he had blessed me with lastnight. I let that vivid picture play in the priv cy of my mind and watched her face shift in emotion as I waited for her reaction.

My daughter pulled me into her apartment, and dragged me into the closet, just as the deadly sun was rising. Fortunately, it was a walk-in closet, so we made ourselves a nest on the floor, and covered ourselves with her clothing. Just before the death s eep overtook me, I received a reassuring message from Marius. He had rebuffed Pandora's advances, and vowed to remain with me. He would seek me out the following night. Hope swelled within me, and I fell into the sleep with a smile on my lips. My only worry was Dierdre...

I wanted to tell Lestat about Nikkie but we all went to bed. I snuck off and slept on my own, though I'd rather cuddle with Claudia. I had plans she couldn't know about. Throwing up a mind shield I slept. As soon as I woke the next evening I went out and ed swiftly. Then I slowly started to throw out my mental feelers. *Oh where oh where has brother Nikkie gone? Oh where oh where can he be?* I had my mind sheilded to all but the oldest and most powerful - and Nikkie.... I looked around and began to search for my insane dead brother....

I returned home, again to find my father passed out on the couch. I promised my self that tomorrow I would stop by First Street and visit Rowan and Michael. I was so tired, I realized that I had been awake for twenty four hours! I fell into the softness o my bed and instantly into dreams. I awoke at two in the afternoon, and after bathing quickly and throwing on a dress, I called a car to come and get me. It really was to hot to walk, even for me. I told Rowan about how I ascaped death at the hands of a v mpire infant with my natural flair for drama, and while she warned me of the danger that lied in my involvement with these creatures, she found my story rather humorous. I left, with a promise to return latter on that evening.

The sky began to turn crimson, and I became aware of the fact that my mother and I had been siting here for hours. "Come with me mother, I own a small apartment not far from here where we can spend the day. But we must hurry!" I said pulling her up and le ding her down the street to my little home. Once safely inside, we both realized that along with its lack of furnishing, there was no where for us to sleep. Then I knew what we must do,"Come, into the closet!" I said as I stepped into the darkness.

Louis and Lestat feturned home just before dawn. Louis said he had to speak with me. I tried to ask him what about, but he silenced me before I could. I knew that whatever news he had for me would most certainly not be to my likeing. So I closed my eyes t the sun with the knowledge that tommorow evening would be more unpleasant than this one.

Lestat and I entered the townhouse and saw Claudia sitting with Christine. She looked up with relief and ran to me. I scooped her up in my arms and reassured her that I was fine, and then expresed my own concern that we all needed to get to our beds! What a night it had been indeed. The reunion, Nicolas.... suddenly I was very tired and not just from the pull of the dawn. I looked at Lestat who had gone behind Christine and was bent to her ear. He would have his own time explaining to that one.... he looke up and caught my eye, and we smiled at each other. I bent low to kiss Claudia, and told her we would talk the next evening. She made as if to question me, but I escaped without answering. Quietly I made my way up the stairs, and in moments heard Lestat' heavy footfalls behind me. In the privacy of my little room we held each other close and laughed as we had in the old days. I kissed him as he had me earlier and we undressed each other slowly and lovingly. We settled down to sleep and he held me to him. My eyes closed as I thought of tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow....

I returned to Louis, taking his hands in mine, and pulling him up off of the bench, where he was waiting for me to return. I wrapped my arms around him, my dear sweet, serious, oh-so-sane Louis. Then I put one of my hands on each side of his face, and l oked into his eyes. "I am afraid that your older brother is quite mad. If he does not stop slaughtering mortals, I will be forced to send him back from whence he came. How or why he returned, I can not say. He does not deserve to live, but I have give him one last chance, for the sake of what we once had together. Have no fear, Louis, disgust is the only feeling which Nicki invokes in me, now. You are the recipient of my warmer emotions, you and our Claudia." I smiled at him to lighten the mood, an then I kissed him, a mortal kiss. "Let us return home. The sun will soon be rising. We will have to share our news with our girls tomorrow night." I laid my arm across his shoulders, and we turned back towards the townhouse, to beat the dawn.

I will return to my jungles, and my ruins. My love to you all Gabrielle I called a cab to the airport, and made it just before the gate closed.

Nicolas laughed, "Disgust is something you don't know Lestat." He called after him. Nikki dusted himself off. Turning his intrests towards the girl, his insane sister. "I'll keep on killing Lestat, every last one!" he muttered under his breath. He lau hed, even after all these years Lestat was still better then him, and he thought the devil had sent him back. Nikki thought for awhile, who had brought him back, surely not God, but if it was the devil, why had he been chasing him? **Sister? You're not what you claim you are, I can feel it....** Nikki looked behind him, making sure he wasn't being followed. He'd kill again, let's see what Lestat would do....He laughed, this was a better game then him and Cleopatra had played, of course, she had a bett r sence of humor. Lestat's words bothered him, lingering in his mind....... Lestat had beaten him at his attempt to flee, but killing, Nikki doubted it....He entered a night club.....

I turned to see Pandora's beautiful face, smiling expectantly at me. What was I to say? Wandering around the streets of New Orleans, I had finally decided that it was here that I belonged and here I would stay, with Luna. I had found a beautiful home in t e Garden District that desperately needed a loving hand. I hadn't restored a home in centuries. This was where I planned to settle with Luna, at least for awhile.

My eyes said everything, but still I explained, "There is a time and a place for everything, Pandora. Now is my time to live a normal lifetime with Luna. Once I have done this, I can be myself again. I can only survive this if I throw myself into somethin . I love to see you Pandora. I want to keep in contact with you, but now is not the time for us."

Claudia took me back to the townhouse. I wondered how long I could keep this act up. Maddness isn't always easy to fake you know. Yes, that's right, I'm faking being insane. Why? I don't know. It has something to do with Memnoch. Maybe if I can keep them ll on edge they'll all be perpared when he comes back. Or maybe it's the thought that Nikkie might still be alive. Or alive again. It's crazy.... I know. If I act crazy I'll probably be destroyed - But damn it - dying to save my beloved Lestat and his bel veds. I know he doesn't love me like before, but I love him. I do. I love him and would die to protect him. *Nikkie Nikkie you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Nikkie! Hey Nikkie!* Back in the townhouse I sat at the piano and began to play and sing. Serenade In Blue - I love that song. "When I hear that serenade in blue - I'm somewhere - in another world alone - with you, sharing all the joys we used to know - many moons - ago...." I love how well I sing and play now. I was great as a human I am a goddess as a vampire! "Once again your face comes back to me - just like the theme of some forgoten melody. In the album of my memory - serenade in blue. It seems like only yesterday a small cafe a crowded floor. And as we danced the night away I ear you say forevermore and then the song became a sigh, forevermore became goodbye - but you - remain in my heart - so - tell me darling is there still a spark? Or only lonely ashes of the flames we knew? Should I go on whistling in the dark - serenade i blue...." I did several other blues numbers after that. "I'm sorry if I bugged you, sweet sister, but I do so love music. There's very little I love more then playing and singing. It's my life, you know...."

I laughed inwardly, she really was quite mad. How had this come about, I wondered. The strain of being constantly chased by the Talamasca, along with the horror of what was done to her when they finally did capture her must have been to much for her then ortal mind to bear. She was not a bad companion, but I was afraid for her. Lestat is not as kind as he seems, and would not hesitate to put an end to her I knew. Any bond between the two had no doubt been disolved, at least in his mind, when she became on of us. Ah, the Talamasca. The mention of the order invoked the memory of Pandora. Pandora, my Goddess of the sky. What had become of her, I wondered, I had not seen her since we were in Ireland. Was she there still? I did not know. I felt that she was so where in the city, but I could not be sure. I did know that Christine and I had best arrive home soon, I sensed a dark presence nearby, which meant harm to all of us. I led her a little faster as we approched the town house, and only inside did I feel saf again. What had Lestat done with my Louis, I wondered. Dawn would be upon us in but a few hours, and they had not yet returned.

I stood there watching Lestat take flight in pursuit of this one we had come across. Nicolas. His other child from long ago. What was this I asked myself...Nicolas, Alive? Lestat had only spoken of him once or twice to me in our years together. He was hau ted by the painful memories and so I had left the idea of Nicolas die as I thought he himself had in Paris so long ago. Tonight when we had come upon him I could tell Nicolas was not right; the strange light in his eyes when he had spoken to Lestat distur ed me, and I was surprised when suddenly, Lestat took off after him as he did. Our night had been going so well and then this. Always Louis, I told myself there will be complications when you love one such as your Lestat. I laughed and walked over to sit n a nearby bench. Instead of dwelling on the sudden return of Nicolas, I thought of what I would tell my dear Claudia. How I hoped that she would be as happy as I when she learned of the reconciliation between he and I. Would it be possible to be a family once more as we had been all to briefly so long ago? I sat there in the darkness waiting for Lestat's return and dangerously letting my hopes rise.

Telling Louis to wait there, I flew ahead, and placed myself in Nicki's path. He was looking over his shoulder, when I stopped his wild run, by putting my hands on his shoulders, and drawing his body close to mine. I looked into his mad eyes, and shook y head, speaking softly, as to a child. "Nicki, what has become of you? Are you telling me that you truly did go into the flames, as I was told, but now Memnoch has sent you back? For what purpose, to punish me? If you do not stop these insane acts of carnage against the mortals, do not doubt, I will be forced to send you back." I searched his face, but could see no hint of remorse, or even comprehension of my words. I let go of is shoulders. "Go, the very sight of you disgusts me. For the sake of what we once meant to each other, I will let you live this night. Do not cross my path again." I turned my back on him, and began to walk back to where Louis was waiting. What a nig t of revelations this had turned out to be! What would happen next?

As Nikki was playing he heard something behind him. Footsteps he knew all to well. He stopped and turned, facing a bewildered Lestat. Nikki smiled. "Lestat," He luaghed. "Lestat, Lestat, Lestat... Still alive all these years." His eyes glowed softly s he approached Lestat, taking notcie of the vampire behind him. Nicolas noticed the slight resemblance the other vampire had to him. "Lestat, don't tell me you tried to replace me." He gestured towards the other. A wicked smile spreading across his fa e. "But why would Lestat seek me out?" Nicolas pouted his lips "Perhaps he found out about my little game? Hmmm....Decided to kill me yourself this time instead of letting Armand do it for you!?" Nikki growled. "I got a question for you Lestat, who d you think can run faster? A vampire who's drank the blood of God, or a vampire who's spent the last few centuries rotting in hell? I only ask because there's an insane sister of mine I would just to meet." He said. Nikki laughed "Tag, your it Lestat." He laughed and started running.

I spent so much time running, always having to look over my shoulder, that being a vampire - this freedom - is somethings more exhillerating then I can handle " I laughed a little louder. Kissing Claudia again, I loved kissing her. "But I will try to be better about it. I promise. Cross my heart and," I chuckled, "hope to die."

He did not see him go into the flames, so how does he know that he is tru y dead." I said with a slight shrug to my shoulders. " You my dear, need must act a bit more sane. For if you do not, I fear it will be your undoing. I doubt Lestat would suffer another mad child to live.And now that we are getting along so well, I would ate to see you die. Come now, let us return home and see if the others have returned yet." said I, taking her hand and leading her through the streets to our town house.

Louis returned to my side, after dispatching the stylish young man. He claims to hate to kill, yet he has never been able to master the art of restraint. Ah well, I love my beautiful boy, despite his shortcomings. We began to leisurely stroll home, down the less traveled streets. I was in no great hurry to discover if Claudia and Christine had torn each other apart, nor to have to disclose to them both the news that Louis and I were fully reconciled, and eager for a new beginning toget er. We were passing a quiet, dark street, when a sound penetrated my consciousness. I quickly realized that it was a street musician, playing a violin, albeit in a rather obscure location, if he desired profit from his talent. Then, I heard something so familiar in the haunting, mournful tune. The one playing was speaking from his heart and soul, through his music. Only once in my mortal or immortal life had I heard someone play like that. Surely, it was not possible for another to play such as my Nick did... Yet, surely equally impossible for the artist to be my Nicki, whose own madness had consumed him so long ago, a lifetime ago, it seemed. He was now nothing but a wistful memory, yet this music was calling to me, drawing me to go, and discover fo myself that it was not truly my Nicki. I turned to Louis, who was standing with a curious, waiting epression on his face. I had not spoken since I had taken his arm to halt our progress, as I listened to the mysterious, unknown musician. "Louis, I kno that it is not possible, yet still I must satisfy myself, as to the identity of this person. Do you remember when Gabrielle mentioned that she felt that she had received a message from Nicki? No, perhaps you were not there, when she told me. We dismis ed it as impossible, of course, but what if..." My voice trailed off, as I started slowly down that dark, empty street. Whomever I found there, I was afraid of my reaction. I motioned to Louis to follow me. Hopefully, he could prevent me from doing any hing impulsive and foolish. Then, I approached the young man, standing in the small circle of light shed by an old-fashioned gas street lamp. That face, those hands, they have haunted me for centuries. I was freed from the ghost of Claudia, by discover ng that she had escaped from Armand's trap, but Nicki, another casualty of Armand's warped sense of justice, had never ceased to torment me, always surrounded by those flames, those bringers of the final, true death. Yet my ears, and now my eyes, did not deceive me. Here, before me, restored to flesh, was my first love, my dearest, tormented Nicki. I stood, transfixed in shock, Louis at my shoulder, until Nicki noticed our presence. Slowly, he lowered the violin, and his eyes met mine. I could see tha the shadows of madness still possessed him. Then, my mind turned to reports that I had heard recently, in the mortal news, of mass scenes of wholesale slaughter, and I now knew the perpetrator. A strange, little smile quirked Nicki's lips, and he opene his mouth to speak.

I was so glad we went to see X-Files. Though it was hard to sit in that theatre. So many sweet mortal heart beats. Pound. Pound. Pound. Their heat surrounding me. I could smell their blood. From healthy to tainted. Ah - but I tried my best to watch the mo ie. Outside, I kissed Claudia again. "Thank you, sweet sister." I smiled. "You know, I heard a rumor that Nicky is alive. I picked up some sort of tremor. Do you think it's true?" *Nicky? You out there?* Oh I was looking for trouble tonight! *Nicky. Nicky come out of hiding! It's your sister! Child of Lestat! Come meet your mad sister!* I laughed. I think I am losing my mind. But I'm enjoying the trip!

I could tell that Christine was less than thrilled by my idea of seeing "Gone with the Wind". Well, I deceided, I want her to have a good time, so I had a sudden change of heart and told her I would rather see "The X Files". Much to my suprise, I rather e joyed watching Alfred the Butler tell Mulder about a small group of old men who planned to surrender all humanity to the aliens through the sting of a bee. I was a bit courious about how Mulder and Scully escaped from the Arctic, Scully being so weak from having the alien inside of her, but this was a movie, one must expect a few plot holes. I left the theater in a good mood. It would seem as though I, the living porcelain doll, would now have one of my own.

Nikki found himself bored. He had set his haven within the grounds of the dead, but the night was so long and proceding so slowly. He walked the streets, holding his violin in his hands. **Nikki, the disgrace of the family.** he thought. He smiled bit erly. It didn't bother him much, to have such a title. The mission came back in his mind, he'd already done enough killing tonight. He walked quietly, he found himself thinking of Lekiare. She was gone, but it seemed that her shadow, a small fragment of her, danced about in his mind. The streets were quiet.... He wanted to go home to France...Cause new chaos there. Find his old friends (if you could actually call them friends) if they were still alive. Boredom.......He lifted his violin and began t play. "God, even hell was more exciting then this." He muttered...........

I chuckled. Well, Lestat and I could not agree on everything. I, personally, thought Leo Di*CRAP*rio - as I called him - didn't have the talent to clean up elephant poop and when it came to Titanic I'd much rather see the 5-Tony Award Winning musical by M ury Yeston then the stupid James Cameron film. And while I was no huge fan of Vivan Lee either, I did agree to see Gone With The Wind. I hadn't seen a movie since City Of Angels. I really wanted to see something. Mulan, The Truman Show, and the X-Files mo ie especially. I told Claudia this as we made our way to the theatre. I also admited a great desire for her to pick out my clothing from now on. "You dress so beautifully, sister-dearest. I've never been good with clothing. I just throw on whatever's clea est." Of course, while running from the Talamasca I often had to go without new or clean clothing for months on end. I was lucky to get a cold bath in a polution-filled river at times. "Now though, that I'm a child of Lestat and sister to Louis, Claudia, abrielle, Nicky, and David, I really should attempt to make myself more presentable. I would hate to do my family dishonor by dressing like a slob."

I laughed at the thought of killing Leonardo DiCaprio. "No, Lestat is quite a fan of Leo, you know. I do not think he would be pleased by our killing him. Taking in movie is not a bad idea, but certainly not "Godzilla"! I know, we should go and see "Gone ith The Wind", nothing is better than a classic darlingdear." I did bot know if Christine shared my sentament, but it sounded lovely to me.

That laugh of his, I scowled to myself as I walked away with the young man. I led him to a deserted park near the opera house and we sat together on a lonely bench. He was unusually forward with me, and immediately demanded my affections. I hated this par really, it was better to just kill them quickly and almost without their knowledge than to play these games. I bent as if to kiss him along his cheek and he actually laughed and accused me of being shy. Shy? ME? I paused just a slight moment to consider that before I pierced his neck with my teeth. How very delicious he tasted, and as always I wondered in my head how I could ever have resisted the feeling that taking the blood brought me. Yes I may have wished that I didn't have to kill for it, but wishi g for easy pleasure is common enough, and the delirious extacy the blood brought was not to be denied. When I had filled myself of him, I dragged his body to a ravine and covered it with as much brush as I could find. I wasn't worried about anyone finding it, not may people came to this park because it was considered to be dangerous. I laughed at that thought. It was dangerous! I headed back up the hill to look for Lestat. We had both fed for the evening and now, I supposed that he would want to head home. At least, I hoped he had not gotten into any mischief while I was away from him. He couldn't have, I thought, it was only a hort time. Ah yes, but then again, I remebered.... this was my Lestat I was considing. My Lestat. How wonderful that sounded to my mind and my heart as I walked into the crowd and spotted him.

I smiled at my sister. "Beautiful, smart, and fun-loving. You, lovely Claudia, are true perfection." I kissed her hard vampire-lips. "What shall we do, beautiful one? I have already slaughtered a group of KKK members as they were about to kill a man and r pe his wife and children. I have to admit I love to take down the evil doers. Shall we go to an opera? Or the movies? We could see that mortal tripe Godzilla. Or mayhaps kill a famous person? I would love to break that Dicaprio freak's neck." I chuckled. We could really shock the world with that one. I think even Lestat wouldn't dare kill a famous person like that, even though Leo's a no-talent brat." I did a little dance around the room. "Perhaps we could go dancing. Your choice, dearest sister. Anything that will amuse you." I fell at her feet and kissed her pretty little hands. "Anything of your choice, beautiful, deadly Claudia. Shall we go kill a priest who's raped his alter boy and leave him cruxfied on his own cross? Or go shopping for new clothing? I would love to have you along - you have such exquisted taste in clothing...."

Louis led me to the opera house, where the crowd was just getting out of the late performance, and milling around in the courtyard. Ah, the sweet scent of mortal blood! It never fails to intoxicate. Even dressed casually, as we were, Louis and I drew m ny an admiring eye, both male and female. Louis selected an attractive young man, dressed in a well-cut, expensive suit. He led his victim away, casting a backward glance at me that forbade me from following them. I threw back my head and laughed out lo d, not caring who was staring at me. Then I stood back to wait.

Christine's words stung me, and I had to fight to keep my temper. I knew that she meant them as a complement, and that she could never know what she was saying when she said that all vampires should be as I was. For she did not know the pain of being me. forced a little laugh, "How wrong you are." I said shaking my head. So, she has seen Memnoch, at least she believes to have seen him. I was not certain how valid her claim was, but I decided against contradicting her. "If we need fear him, then I think i best that we do not venture out alone." I said very solomly. "I do not think that we should tell Lestat about all this, for I doubt that he would believe a word of it. Enough of this somber talk," said I pulling her from the couch. "Let's do somthing fun " I said, leaving it up to her what that thing would be.

When he looked at me...that satified gleam in his eyes I had to laugh. I merely found watching him to be so enjoyable. He asked about my desire to feed...where we should go. It really did not matter to me. Since becoming more accepting of my nature..losin that "mortal coil" as he called it, I cared not whether my victims were evildoers or innocents..though as he once said evil tastes better. I told him that I thought the opera was in town and that I would like to head over that way. Once we arrived there walked though the outside crowd with him at my side. Ah the rich snobbery hung in the air like fog and soon I spotted my delight across the room. A young man of about 19, dressed in a fine Italian suit. He was looking at me too, with undisguied interest. I approached him and began to talk with him about some type of opera trivia, and as I did so, I led him away from the crowd. I looked over my shoulder in a warning glance. I did not want Lestat to follow me as I led this dear boy to the most vivid "death cene" he had ever witnessed. His own.

"Ah Memnoch came after me not long after Lestat gave me the Dark Gift, sweet sister." I longed to stroke Claudia's golden curls. Such a beautiful vampire. Niether child nor woman. "I fear he will go after Lestat's other loves in order to make him mad with grief and eventually join with him. I don't expect you to sucumb, dear sister, but all the same - it's better to be safe then sorry as I said." I found myself fansinated by her, and instead of patronizing her by stroking her hair like if she was a child, took her hands in mine like I would any woman. I found myself staring at those little white hands. Marveling over them. "So beautiful and so deadly. You are the true perfection of a vampire, sister.... Created at an age where you didn't really know right from wrong. Evil and death in a sweet, innocent form. If only we could all be like you." I hoped my words wouldn't anger her, for I meant them all in a complimentory manner.

Indeed, the young man was gorgeous, on the outside. Inside, his soul was evil enough, and stained with enough innocent blood, to satisfy even Louis's twisted sense of moral decency. I grinned wickedly at Louis, and went to approach the young man. I inv ded his personal space, and trailed one finger down his cheek. I read his thoughts, as he started to threaten me, then my eyes met his, and he was lost. He was mine. I whispered to him that I had something to give him outside, in the nearby alley. He eadily followed me, and Louis trailed along behind us, keeping an eye out for other curious mortals. Once I had the young man out in the darkness, I caressed his beautiful face, and whispered in his ear, the last words that he would ever hear, "The gift hat I have for you, my friend, is death," he made as if to struggle, but it was too late. I sank my fangs into his throat, and drank deeply, and quickly. When he was drained, I tossed his body into a nearby dumpster, just another casualty of the drug tr de. Then I returned to Louis, waiting at the mouth of the alley. "Very satisfying, old friend! Now, what of you? Where do you wish to seek your meal?" I waited for his response.

Christine readily agreed to my plea, just as I knew she would. She warned me of Memnoch, I had assumed that his returning of Lestat's eye was a sort peace offering between the two, and that he had given up on him. so I asked:"Memnoch? What of him? What c use have I to fear him"

I jumped, startled at the sudden message in my head. Christine again. When has a fledgling ever gotten into so much trouble so soon? Something about Memnoch, and trouble for Lestat. I heard fragments of her messages to the old ones, challenging them. "She's going to get herself into something bigger than she can handle." I mumbled to myself. Though not from the old ones, they never harm Lestats offspring. I started toward the townhouse.

I watched the girl run. I found myself laughing. So many things had changed sence the night I had met Cleopatra, a night that seems now to of been centuries ago. I smiled, humming a tune in my head, walking away from the crime happily. I allowed my min to drift, I was like a Jack The Ripper,(a wonderful fellow to meet in hell), I was on a mission to perfect the world, to destroy the oddities. My mind stopped wondering......I looked up the street, the devil had stopped chasing me, for reasons only one can guess. The others took no notice of the grisly acts I was performing, and the only vampire who had given me sanity had disappeared into the night with a spirit. I'm free.....A long smile spreed across my face, of course I had ruined the opportunity f corrupting Dee's soul and mind. I walked to the graveyard where me and Cleo had sat after our first game....I'd make my haven here......Searching for crypt to stay in, I wanted one perferably old. I found one, dusty and undesturbed. Another night, a other game.... I have all the time in the world.....

I smiled softly at Claudia, thinking of my worries. I patted the couch for her to sit beside me. "I'm glad you want to be friends - I wanted to talk to you, sweet sister." Ah - I loved her already. I see now why Lestat and Louis love her so much. "I'm wor ied the Memnoch might go after Lestat's children, looking to weaken him and force him to join with him." I sighed. "I know I probably worry too much. But still, better safe then sorry, right, sister?" I found myself wondering if she would be insulted if I refered to her as my big sister. She is older then me, after all....

The basement nightclub he led me to was very busy! I had to move quickly to avoid all of the mortals who who attempting to get in or out of the same door at once. The music assaulted my ears when we were finally into the room and I looked about with inter st and smiled at Lestat as he too stood there taking in the scenery. He knew this was not my kind of place, but nonetheless, as he said, this was a night for new beginnings and I would have gone wherever he asked. Well, maybe not anywhere...this was Le tat after all, and I thought to myself, there were worse places we could have wound up than here. He pointed out the "tastiest creatures" he saw as if he were at some buffet, and I laughed with him. Indeed there, that young man by the wall...what was t in darkness that he was doing? Lestat informed me that he was a member of a local gang, and was pushing even his own limits by the activities he chose. "Drugs...Whores...Killing other people... he has done all of that Louis," Lestat said to me, "And yet look how absolutely gorgeous he is. Doesn't look like a criminal at all ...does he" I answered him. After my mistake earlier in grabbing the young girl and directing her toward Lestat, I knew that he most likely found this young man more suitable to his astes. I sat back in my chair watching the pulsing light show, feeling the music shake the table under my hands and I waited to see what, if anything he would do. Lestat was never idle for long.

I walked the streets, not wanting to return home where I would enevitably be alone with Christine. I looked at all the lovely things in shop windows. Things meant for woemen, not children like myself. I felt the old bitterness swell inside of me, the ange and resentment I thought I had long ago been rid of were resurfising. Why now, I wondered, all of a sudden? But I realized that this had, in actuality been building for quite some time. Hatered I felt suddenly, the need for revenge. But on whom should I ake it? Not Lestat, he had suffered enough on account of my misery. Certainly not my Louis, always so faithful and loving, even though I had always been so cruel to him. But who else was there? I knew suddenly that my affection for both at the moment was omewhat minimal. Louis had only just been returned to me, and almost imidiately he and Lestat had both deserted me! Suddenly I felt a bit of pitty for Chrsitine, for I realized that Lestat had deserted her also. Perhaps I should return home to keep her co pany, after all, what had she ever done to me? And it would most certainly be better than wondering about feeling sorry for myself. Upon entering the flat I found her, aparently deep in consentration. I aproched and desided to play diplomate. "Christine, e are sisters now, non? I think perhaps it would be befiting to us both if we were, or actually, if I were to try and get along a little better. " I gave he my most charming smile, although I doubted it was necessary.

I wandered the Quarter, pondering my revenge, and then it struck me. Some things are impossible, even for me. This is most likely one of those things. I don't think that I could ever find an enemie of Claudia who would be willing to assist me. I decided t give up that goal, and focus upon a new one, or rather an old one which had been pushed aside. Better to simply befriend one of these immortals and attain immortality. Yes, that should be simpler, but I came to the same problem. Who.....

As I walked thru New Orleans I realized how lonely I was. My trials and tribulations had seperated Lestat and I forever. We would never be the same. Though I loved him, I knew at the slightest sign of madness on my part he would have to kill me. I know no that was probably Memnoch's plan all along. Destroy me and weaken Lestat. Who would be next I wondered.... It had to be Lestat's children. Weaken him by taken those he loved from him. I wondered if the others realized this. I sent out the message to Gabr ille, knowing she was the strongest - emotionally at least - of Lestat's children, except for David. Telling her my worries that she, David, Claudia, or Louis might be next. Telling her that I was sure Memnoch would go after one of them to get to Lestat. egging her to be careful. Then I found a place to sit and stare at the humans going by. *David Talbot, where are you? I wish you'd come back to New Orleans. There's so much to tell you.* I sent this out - One by one I started sending out messages to all t e vampires that were alive that had ever been in Lestat's books. The Queens Of The Damned, Jesse, Kayman - I had done this before and I'd continue to do it. The bold fledgling who dared them to come and visit. To meet Lestat's insane new child. To kill me if they saw fit. And then I went home and waited for someone else to come. To tell them I would darken their doorstep no more if that was what pleased them, but to please come and talk to me now and again. I know my blood is too tainted at the moment to m ke a child. I would have to wait before I made another - a good, long time. Until Memnoch's blood was so diluted it could do no more harm....

I am not used to wanting the company of others. While a mother of three in my mortal life, I have no fledlings to speak of.

"Ah, Louis," I grabbed his hands, and spun him around, overcome by my sudden burst of exuberance, "I feel lighter than I have in countless years! Let us celebrate! Come with me to my favorite club. We can enjoy the music, while reveling in the heady at osphere of the human crowds, pulsating with the rich red blood that is our life's sustenance. Later, you may choose, and we can feed together. If you can restrain yourself, we will not even take their lives." I gave him a devilish smile following my la t comment, as he frowned at me. "Come, Louis, this is a night to begin again! Let us have no bad feelings between us." I kissed him firmly on the lips. I could feel from their twitching that he was fighting not to smile. "I swear, if you were mortal till, your brow would be deeply furrowed from all of the scowling that you have done through the years. Of course, we would all be dust, long ago, so that would be irrelevant!" I laughed out loud, and grabbing his hand, I began to pull Louis along behin me. At last, his own laughter mingled with mine. It remained only to tell Claudia and Christine of the renewed fervor of our relationship, and I preferred not to think about those unsavory tasks, not tonight.

I fed quickly, being in no mood for play this night. Afterward, I wandered the streets. Suddenly I caught sight of a familiar figure, sitting alone on a park bench. It was my daughter. I sat down silently next to her. She was radiating such an air of sadness and despair. I spoke not a word at first, just put my arm around her. She turned to me, and buried her face in my shoulder, sobbing wildly. I stroked her hair, and let her vent her emotions, before quietly asking her what had caused such grief.< r>

I ran away from Nikki out into the night, let him follow if he wa ted, I did not care. I returned to my apartment where I colapsed on the floor and began to sob. How could I ever take pleasure in such madness? I could not stand the feel of the blood drenched cat suit which I realized I'd been wearing for over week, I to e it off of me and changed quickly into jean and a sleevless velvet top. I burned the only evidence of my night of slaughter, and went out wandering the streets. My conscience was heavy, and it felt as if I carried the weight of the world upon my sholder . I ploped myself down onto a bench and I thought of how cruel I had been to my mother, turning her away, where was she now? No doubt she was happy somewhere, she'd probobly forgotten me. Again I felt the overwhelming lonlieness wich had driven me undergr ud, why do they always leave me, all of them, anyone I ever allow my self to care for? What had I done to deserve so much pain? I knew what I sould do, I sould end it all, sit right here on this bench and watch the sun rise. I didn't have the courage, so what then? I did not now.

He was telling me that he might be willing to agree to my hopes of our togetherness. I wanted to embrace him and run right back to the townhouse to tell the others, but, wisely I knew that this would not be a good idea. Christine would most likely not be appy to hear it, and I had no idea nor care really as to how the others would react. Except for Claudia. What would she say? It was true what Lestat was saying to me, Claudia thought of me as her own, and too in some ways, she thought of Lestat as her own Her selfishness was not something I despised, but merely a part of her to be acknowledged as a condition of what we had done to her while she was still but a child. Did I hope that she would find happiness with Lestat and I? Part of me wished more than a ything for us to be a family again, happily this time. Still another part was wary of that, because of the way Claudia used to play Lestat and I against each other. If he and I were to be together as contented partners, maybe this was not for the best. I ooked at Lestat, as I smiled thinking of the possiblities. "Your concerns are very valid my friend," I said to him. "Do you think we should discuss it with our fair daughter now, or perhaps we should wait? After all... you have...others to think of as wel " Christine. Nikki. He knew who I meant. How I wished it could be simple. I took his hand in mine and I stepped towrds him. "Lestat," I whispered, "I will do as you wish...I cannot know her reaction or speak for any of the others. If you as me if I think ur togetherness is possible, my answer is yes. How we go about that, I leave up to you."

I stopped walking, and pulled Louis into a secluded alcove. The full moon cast enough light, so that I could look into his eyes. I brushed his silken, raven hair away from his face, and laid my palm against his soft cheek. I felt my own blood tears ris ng, and fought to keep my composure. "Ah, mon cher, what could've been! Louis, do you honestly think that it is not too late for us to begin anew? Could Claudia understand and accept this? Would she be able to make her own space in our world of two? s there enough Louis for both of us? I am still selfish, as you know, and she has never lost the greedy nature of the little girl that she once was, so very long ago. I have spent much time with her. It is a pity that we have no Madelaine to offer her, this time. It's too bad that she has developed such a dislike for Christine. As you know, I was involved with her for quite some time, before I made her my latest fledgling. Now, it is not the same. Of couse, we have lost the connection that we had, b t there is something more... She is not quite right, since Ireland. She tells me that she drank the blood of both Memnoch, and an Angel. I fear for her sanity. Nicki's fate preys on my mind. I have digressed though, from our focus. You know that I h ve forgiven you already, for all of the past. You are ever my beloved. Do you think that we can put all of the bitterness behind us, and begin again? I am willing to try, if that is your wish." I knew that it was, by the way that his face brightened. I drew him into my arms, and rested my cheek against the top of his head. Perhaps, after the pain and turmoil of the past few months, we could finally find some measure of peace and happiness together.

SHE was with him now, with *my* Marius, that ancient, faithless bitch. Pandora had returned. I could sense her. She had left Marius alone and broken, for Santino, and now apparently she had returned, abandoned herself. I felt the pain rise up and fill my throat. I knew that she had power over him. Their relationship was complicated and centuries old. What chance did I have to fight her? I was torn between wanting to flee, and wanting to stay and take up the battle. My daughter had turned me away, nd I did not even know her present whereabouts. Without Marius, there were no further ties to keep me here. My undead heart felt as if it was breaking. Happiness had been within my grasp for the first time, since my daughter had cursed me with this imm rtality. Too briefly, better never to have felt its sweet caress at all. I went to hunt, to take out my frustrations on some unsuspecting mortal victim. Tonight, the moon was full, and I reveled in its light. My daughter had taken the sun away from me and so much more. I had never even told her how much I had lost at her hands. Perhaps I never will. It would only bring her pleasure, to know the true cost of her angry act.

I smiled as he turned to face me.**

I listened to his words. I felt his caress, his lips. My Lestat. He knew what he said would twist within my mind, but as is his style, he was saying it for a reason, and I knew it. as his hand slipped from my hair where it had been so lovingly a moment be ore, I caught it in my own and urged him to walk with me. "You're right Lestat. You always are, you know. I have wronged you, I have hated you and I have, by my own lack of effort, come close to losing you more than once." I said as we walked slowly, "The e is nothing I can do now to change any of that, nor can I expect your forgiveness easily." I turned to face him, looking more serious now. "Perhaps after all I am seeking not what we had, but what we could have had." Tears shone in my eyes and I l oked away from his face as I continued. "As for Claudia, I love her as I love you. A love whole and unto itself. She has seen enough in her immortal lifetime to decide whether or not she would want to be with us were we to come together you and I." I stoo there silent for a moment and then I added, "If you do not think it possible, I understand. I ask only that you Lestat, understand that I had to tell you."

Comments:
I looked at Louis, curiously. Were his memories not the same that I held? "Louis, of what time do you speak? You were never really happy with me. You never forgave me for giving you the dark gift. I offered you the death which you claimed to be seekin , but your humanity clung to its existence, at any price. For a time, you and I and Claudia were a family, after a fashion, but your guilt would never let you find peace. I do believe that you have at last come to terms with this immortal life, but you ave still preferred your solitary pursuits. You turned me away when I most needed you. I would have died, Louis. You came close to losing me forever." I stepped nearer to him, and put my mouth close to his ear, so that he could feel my breath on his c eek, as I lowered my voice, "Yet, I love you still, best of all of my children. You are the most beautiful in my eyes, the most worthy of the gift which I gave you." I caressed his face, burying one hand in his silken hair, and brushed my lips across hi . I felt a shudder run through him. Then I withdrew. "What of Claudia, Louis? She thinks of you as her own. Where does she fit into this cozy domestic scene that you are envisioning?" I could see that I had disturbed him, but I needed to know where h s mind was taking all of us.

Lestat took Louis away from me, and soon after Christine went out to feed alone. I caught her mental invitation, and paid it no attention. Did she think that I would like her any better now that she was immortal? I left soon after, searching the streets u til I found what I was looking for, a man who had killed in cold blood and would do so again. I did not feel like taking an innocent life this night. He went into a back alley to relieve himself, and I aproched him silently. Killling him quickly, I heaved his body into a dumpster and left him to the virmin.

I laughed quietly as my ill-mannered son spirited Louis away. Christine left soon after, something about feeding. The idea seem like a good one, and I soon followed suit. I roamed the quarter looking for a fresh young vessel filled with the delicious n ctar of youth. I found a derelict looking young man, lounging outside a bar. Stalking him from behind, I pulled him into a nearby alley and took care of my thirst.

I went on my own to feed, though mentally I let others know - especially Claudia - that they were welcome to come with me if they wanted. I practically was drooling at the thought of fresh, warm blood. I found a group of men in white hoods just outside Ne Orleans, burning a cross on the lawn of a home. They were about to go beat up the owners of the house - an African-American man and a white woman - two young children stood behind the woman, clinging to her legs as the KKK approached. But I stopped them y "magically" appearing in front of them. "Hello, boys - you small-minded crap heads looking for a fight? Well - you've found death!" With that I grabbed the leader and drank some of his blood before breaking his neck - the others began to run and I went fter them. Perhaps I got them all, perhaps I didn't. But I went back to the scene of the crime and used my powers to make the people in the house forget I was there - how hard it was not to bite into the necks of those little children - to drink innocent lood. I took care of the cross - putting out the fire. Then I took the bodies and thru them to the gators. One good reptile deserves another.... Sated, I headed again for New Orleans and began to wander about the streets. People were staring and I realize I was covered in blood - so I speeded up until I was a blur and used my powers to break into a clothing shop where I took some new clothes - leaving money for them - and then threw away the bloodied clothing. Once again I began to explore New Orleans.... br>

He stood there looking at me impatiently. "Lestat," I said, "I'm sorry. I was simply trying to be..." Sighing, I did not continue. I had rushed things, trying to please him, and as usual, I had wound up doing just the opposite. Standing next to him on the quiet street I turned to him and saaid, "When I was alone Lestat, hiding from the Talamasca, in fear for my life, as we all were....I didn't know where you were. I thought of all our past arguments. How unimportant they became in my eyes when I was faced ith the idea of not seeing you again." While he looked at me and waited for me to continue,I smiled at him softly. This I couldn't help... I longed to reach out and touch his face but rather, I looked out into the darkness and said to him "You ask what I ant Lestat? Perhaps you will call me a fool, but the answer to that question is simple. I want you, Lestat. You and I, the way it was long ago with us." I slowly faced him once more and waited not knowing what his reply would be.

Louis had a strange reaction to my teasing question. He broke from my side, and approached a young girl, who was standing outside a nearby club. She was obviously too young to get in. He spoke briefly to her, then appeared to be sending her in my direc ion. He leisurely strolled over to us, now returning my grin. I quizzically met his steady gaze, quirking my brow at him. What was his game? The girl was pretty enough, for a mortal, but when I searched her mind, there was no evil in it, just curiosit and admiration. Surely Louis did not expect me to harm this girl? Claudia and I had grown accustomed to playing our games with the more undesirable elements of human society. I spoke not a word to the girl, but looked at Louis, "What is this, my old riend, a bad joke?" I could see that the girl took offense, but I did not care. She did not know how lucky she was to escape with her life. I brushed past her, and continued down the street. I did not look back to see if Louis was followig me. I was nnoyed with him. We had just been reunited, and he had deflated my high spirits. I wondered what he had been trying to prove. At last, I stopped under a secluded streetlamp, and turned. Louis was there, as I knew that he would be. "So, what is it tha you want, Louis?" I asked him.

The evening went a little fast for me and it wasn't long before we were all together - Claudia didn't seem happy with me, though I would get along with all of Lestat's children. Even Louis seemed a little cold to me. Ah well - I'll give them time to get u e to having me around. Maybe then they'll start to like me and see that I'm not here to steal their places in Lestat's heart. None could do that. But simply be another of Lestat's adoring flock. The problem was now I was stronger then most - too strong fo a fledgling. I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't have problems with even the oldest of vampires. We shall have to see....

I stood there with him on the street in disbelief. We had been reunited less than two hours and here he was goading me in his usual style. I thought we would talk when we stepped out, that I would have the chance to tell him what I now wanted. Hunt with h m? When he knew I hated that? So he was testing me, was he? So be it. I smiled at him and said, "Whatever you wish Lestat," as we turned onto Bourbon Street. Outside of the Razzoo Club & Patio, I spotted a delectible young lady of about 17. Breaking comp ny from Lestat I approched her. When I reached her, innocently I said, "Aren't you....um...Lisa?? Jackie's cousin?" "No," she said,twirling her hair. "Well damn I thought you were! Too bad, because Jim is waiting over ther. That is who he thought you were he is supposed to meet her here. I guess she isn't going to show. Oh well" I said as I began to walk away. "Wait!" she said grabbing my coat. "You mean that blond guy over there?" she asked pointing to the tree under which lestat stood. "Yes," I said tea ingly..."that guy over there. How dissapointed he looks, oui?" She volunteered to go talk to Lestat, and I remained where I was for a moment before joining the two of them. Test me would he? He would find out that I had given serious thought to what I wan ed and I would do wahtever he required of me to prove just that.

I listened to Louis's simple explanation, his eyes reflecting the love which he still felt for me. I squeezed his shoulder reassuringly, trying to let him know that he was still my best love. Then I stood, taking his hand in mine, and pulling him to his feet. "Come, my old friend, let the two of us go ut alone together." I looked from Claudia to Cristine. I knew that they were not fond of one another, but surely they could be left together for some short time, without trying to destroy each other. After all, Lunadark and Gabrielle were still here to referee. I looked around again. "You don't mind if we leave you for awhile, do you?" Without giving anyone a chance to say a negative word, I pulled Louis from the room. We went out on Royale Street, and headed towards Bourbon Street. "How shall we am se ourselves, mon cher? Can you bring yourself to hunt with me, just this once?" I grinned wolfishly at him. He never did like to play the games with mortals, that Claudia and I were so fond of.

As Lestat held me to him in greeting I savoured the feel and the smell of him and did not want to let go. My time away, in fear of the Talamasca, knowing at any minute my life as I knew it could be destroyed, had opened my eyes to what I truly loved in th s life. Aside from dear Claudia, love to me meant but one word, Lestat.

Sitting on the sofa with him I offered a simply explanation as to where I had been. I had contacted his lawyers here in the city inquiring to his location. I had not known of course nor had they, of Lestat and Claudia's abrupt departure to Ireland. On their advice I took off to Paris hoping to find Lestat there. While there I of course got lost in my unfathomable memories,without finding Lestat. I returned to New Orleans several wee s later and it was not until I received word from the same lawyers, that I knew where Lestat had been. She of course sent word to him, informing him that I had been searching, and so here we all were again. Laughably confusing, yes, but no great mystery.< > looking around I was amazed at the surreal moment. There were so many of us here in the same room when a week ago we had been scattered and afraid. Little Claudia nestled close to my side and I wrapped my arm around her reassuringly. My eyes again settled on Lestat. I watched him as he smiled and laughed with the others. Beautiful he was. I cast a glance to this new one..his fledgeling Christine; my immortal sister. I laughed to myself. She was nothing to me, nothing but something of distraction to Lestat. I felt my eyes momentarily glow with jealousy and anger;emotions which did not suit me well. Lestat looked at me then, his face telling me how happy he was at our reunion. I returned his gaze with all of the love I felt and hoped t at somehow he would understand. If not I would tell him soon enough.

We returned to New Orleans, land of long balmy nights and forgotten dreams. It seemed that no matter what happened, there were always at least a dozen of the others around when one inhabited this city. But the smell of the powerful Mississippi always brou ht me back and I was powerless against it, just as I had always been powerless against Pandora's charms. I excused myself from the gaiety of Lestat and Louis' reunion and stepped out to find a quiet spot to feed.

All four of us returned to New Orleans, Christine and I, and Marius and Lunadark. We went at once to the townhouse, to be reunited with my beloved Louis. I burst into the parlor, where Louis and Claudia sat together. Louis stood up, smiling, and I clas ed him in my arms, kissing him on both cheeks. "Mon cher ami, how wonderful it is to have you back home. We were afraid that the Talamasca had captured you. Where were you? Of course, you could not follow us, not knowing our destination. Come, my boy sit with me, and tell me your adventures. I'll wager that mine were slightly more exciting." I winked at Claudia, who was frowning at Christine. I kept my arm around Louis, as I awaited his response.

Marius and I returned to New Orleans, with Lestat and Christine. Immediately, I sensed that the female vampire, who had broken Marius's heart, was also back in the city. Pandora. I said nothing to him, however. I wished to let our happy togetherness l st as long as possble, before *she* reappeared in the picture. I knew that I would lose him to her, if that was her desire, and that knowledge tore at my immortal heart.

My stay in Ireland lasted longer than I had planned and I felt relief once returning to my home in New Orleans.
Unpacking, my thoughts turned once again to Marius and our last words, words of anger and full of pain. I had hurt him once again, a habit I seemed unable to break.
I could feel him and the others scattered about the city, torn between going to them or waiting until another night, giving myself time to collect my thoughts.

I awoke with the sun, and after luxuriating inthe bath for a while, I slipped into a cool silk dress. Now was the time to plot. I went down stairs to find my father still passed out on the sofa. Normally I stayed with Rowan and Michael, but when I wanted to be left alone I came to Amelia street. It wasn't so bad since the renovation had been finish d. I thought of Mary Jane, and wondered if she would help me. I deceided against it, this was dangerous, and should be dealt with on my own. I walked out into the still cool morning air, I knew that later it would be sweltering hot and that the air would e heavy with humidity, but for now it was nice. Where should I begin? I knew that I could easily find her house, but I hear vampires get pretty nasty when it comes to that whole territorial thing. I stopped for a moment and thought: Why am going through a l this trouble just to get back at some stupid little vampire girl. I decided that the answer was plain ans simple bordom. I had summer off, even if I did have a priate tutor. On that I had insisted. I always get what I want now, at least when it comes to the family, I was the designee aftert all. I sat down on a bench in Jackson Square,a nd watched as the tourists began to appear. The many weird looking people destracted me for a moment, but then I was back on track. How do I get revenge. I decided it wou d be best to find an enemy of this child, rather than try to get to her through someone she loves, now all I have to do is find someone....

"You need not tell me now, it can wait, just as long as we are together." I told Louis, carresing his face. I was releived that all danger was past us, that the Talamasca was no longer braking down our door. Such agressiveness was not like them, they were meant to be scholars only, what was there motto...ah yes, we watch and we are always here. "I thought they had you, my love, I was so worried." Words could not express my feelings, they never could, clumsy tools that they were. "Lestat shall also be quite happy to see you. He had some buisness that needed to b attended to, he should be back by tomorrow evening." I realized that dawn was growing near, how long we hd sat in silence! "Come darling dear, let us sleep." I said taking his hand.

I could sense that Marius was tired, and tempted to give into the despair, which sometimes overtakes the oldest of us. "Mon cher ami, where would I be, without you? Come back to New Orleans with us, and share in the joy of Louis's return. You can make ny further plans from there." I could see that he was relieved to have the decision made for him, and we all prepared to leave. We would sleep through the day, awake and feed, and return to New Orleans the next night.

Lestat sat calmly, a half smile across his lips as he listned to me tell of Luna and my plans. He was the damndest creature! He said not a word, but I knew what he was thinking. It will not work, this peaceful life you are trying to lead. You are not mort l, no matter how badly you long to be so. But I couldn't help but feel lost in this new world of young vampires and new ways. They were so different than I and I could not help but feel out of place these days. Perhaps I had lived too long, I thought to m self as Lestat and I debated over wether we should go or not. Perhaps I had come to that point that so many creatures of darkness come to in which there is nothing left to live for. I wouldn't let this overtake me! I was not ready to end my reign just yet "So, what say you, Lestat?" I patted Luna's hand and gave her a wink,"Where do you think we should go?"

" And two: I will gain immortality, I don't whatI have to do, but I shall not die nd be forgotten by all but the Talamasca. That is not to be the fate of Mona Mayfair." I stoped there, shutting down my computer. I realized quite suddenly that I was horribly tired, what with all the time changes between Irland and here, I had not slept n over 24 hours. Ah well, often the best ideas come to us in our sleep. I slowly climbed the stairway to my room, and afte changing into a nightgown, colapsed upon the bed and fell instantly into sleep.

" And two: I will gain immortality, I don't whatI have to do, but I shall not die nd be forgotten by all but the Talamasca. That is not to be the fate of Mona Mayfair." I stoped there, shutting down my computer. I realized quite suddenly that I was horribly tired, what with all the time changes between Irland and here, I had not slept n over 24 hours. Ah well, often the best ideas come to us in our sleep. I slowly climbed the stairway to my room, and afte changing into a nightgown, colapsed upon the bed and fell instantly into sleep.

"Yes, my love. Lets do that, then we can decide exactly what our future will be" I took her hand and led her out of the small tavern to the rooms that Lestat was hiding out at. Christine and Lestat had been talking quietly when we entered but they looked p and smiled when they saw who it was. "Ah Lestat!,"I laughed. "So here you are. Have you fed yet? If not you should do so now for we need to talk and it may take awhile"

Marius went inside the tavern to seek his prey. I decided to wait for mine to come to me. I leaned against the outside wall, half in the shadows, and hitched up my skirt to show off my legs. I did not have long to wait. A slightly drunken, but clean a d attractive, man, staggered out of the door, and my eyes met his. I smiled invitingly, and beckoned that he follow me into the nearby alley. I knew that my invitation would not be refused. Sure enough, I heard his unsteady footsteps behind me. I turn d, and took him into my arms. I whispered sweet lies into his ears, and slid my hands behind his neck, pulling him down to my lips. I kissed and nibbled at the salty skin of his throat, as I felt the human passions rising within his body. As his arousa grew, I sunk my fangs into his flesh, and drank deeply as the death ecstasy overtook him. Gently, I laid his body on the ground, in the corner, as if he were merely asleep. Then I went back around the corner, to see if Marius was ready, as well.

I was horrified by what Niki did. He went into the bar and began killing the mortals within. Why was he doing this? I had never killed a mortal who did not need to die ihn order to fullfill my immortal cravings. I stood staring dumbstruck at the carnage, nd then my mind began to work. Weren't we a higher creature than these mortals? As higher creatures, did we not have the right to hunt them for sport as they did to the harmless dear in the woods, or the fish in the ocean? Why not be as cruel to them as t ey were to other creatures, and even to their fellow man? Whith that thought, I grabed the woman attemting to ascape, and bit into her jugular, letting her blood spray about as I droped her dieing body to the flore. I carelessly broke a mans neck, and let him fall as well. Ah! this was marvelous! Perhaps this was the way of true immortals, to not care, to kill in cold blooded fury. That had always been my problem, I cared to much! But not any longer. I killed until the flore was littered with my victims, a d them I began to laugh. I felt free, I felt as if all the world were mine, and I could do whatever I pleased, and have nobody to answer to. I looked down at myself, and at the rest of the bar, and at Niki, and saw that we were all covered in the blood of the dead. I head sirens in the distance, "Come, we must leave now!" I said grabbing his hand and pulling him out into the alley. "Where do go?" I asked him out of couriosity more than worry, for I knew how simple it would be to escape the police. I realized that I was nolonger the same Dierdre. his slaughter had changed me completly. Now I could have fun.

Luna agreed that we must feed as we had not done so in quite a while. We headed out to a local tavern to choose our prey. The tavern was dark and dusky and smelled of beer and bad food. A young waitress sat off to the side, taking her break. She was perfe t. I approached her table. "Is this seat taken, my dear?" She shook her head that no it was not. I sat next to her. "Arent you a little old to be coming on to someone my age?" She asked me sarcasticly. I laughed,"You, my dear, just looked like you could u e a little passion in your life. I thought I might be the one to give it to you." At first she scoffed, but then she looked up. Once our eyes locked I had her in my grasp. In less than twenty minutes, I was up in her room, holding the girl close to me swo ning with the passion I had promised her as I took her life blood.

I awoke with Luna curled up next to me. The cold mud of the earth surrounded us and from where we lay, I could hear the sounds of all the little creatures of the earth, the bugs, the groundhogs, the worms, moving about at their repetitive routines. It was a comforting sound. I have seldom slept in the earth and had never actually paid any attention to the noises. Luna still slept next to me as oversleeping is easy to do when one is underground. I pressed my lips against hers to awaken her. Her eyes flitted open and she returned my kissed. We dug our way out into the abandoned cottage that smelled of mildew and old wood. "Well, my dear? How are you faring? I daresay you are as famished as I?"

Nicolas blinked hard. The world had been a blur of colours. It seemed like he had been gone so long, and yet there at the other side of the table sat Diedre (sp? Sorry). He looked at her, as she looked at him, a moments confussion in his mind. He sm led in his way. "Let's go have fun." he said. She nodded and together they left the house. As they walked Nikki's mind slowly went through the past events. It was obvious Satan was getting closer, his time running out. The others were coming and in th losing of Lekaire he had sought out Diedre. He walked into a club, taking Diedrea's hand. He smiled at her showing his fangs. The slaughter began.

Claudia threw her tender body against me, and stepping into the house, I held her tighter.The smell of here golden hair in my face, the feel of her... though my ability to read thoughts was not heightend I could not mistake the love that poured from her m nd. She rained kisses upon my face and when she finally clamed down a bit she looked up at me with one of her innocent and inquiring looks, as if she had only just remembered I had been gone.

"Louis, my love," she said as she stoked my long hair absently, "you left me behind..why..I don't understand!" Petulant as ever my Claudia. How I loved her. I silenced her words with a small kiss upon her lips and pulled her close to me. I whispered in he ear, "Ssshh my sweet one, I will explain this all to you. For now....

We sat long into the night simply enjoying each other, but I knew the explanations needed to come forth, and it seemed in this house, explanations were never easy.

Perhaps it was some happless mortal who had found our dwelling and come to pay us a visit. That was most likely the case. Well, I shan't have to hunt tonight, I thought as I stood and walked to the door. I opened the door, " can I help you?" I asked. "Louis!" I ghasped, "is that really you?" All the misery of the past few evenings melted away as I threw my arms around him. "Oh my love, where have you been?"

I walked toward the darkened townhouse. It seemed so long since I had stood in this very street. The confusion of everyone leaving suddenly, I suppose made it seem like a longer time than it actually was. I knew Claudia was inside with Gabrielle, and my d sire to see my tender child was more than my immortal heart could bear. The only comfort I had known in the time when I was away was the fact that Gabrielle was with her in her loneliness.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I walked up the steps of the townhouse. Had any mortal been foolish enough to ring the bell at this late hour, I laughed to myself, Gabrielle would most likely have offered them much more than they would ever have expected. Wi h that thought on my mind causing me to smile, I rang the bell and waited for an answer.

I pulled the heavy drapes tightly across the window of the bedroom, in which Christine lay in restless slumber, on the bed. The thick material shut out every trace of the coming daylight. Then I lay down beside her, whispering softly to her, and strokin her tumbled curls. At last, she quieted, and murmured my name, and a small smile flitted across her lips. I felt that the crisis was past, and entered into my own daytime sleep, with my arms wrapped around her protectively.

We burrowed a sort of ne t for ourselves, and I curled up, against his chest, with his arms securely around me, listening to the comforting thud of his beating heart. We slept peacefully, and undisturbed.

Of course, I agreed with Marius, that we must remain here, until it was assured that the girl, Christine, was all right. I was not heartless, nor so selfish that I had lost my healer's empathy. So many events had transpired in such a short time, it almo t made my head spin. I had lived a peaceful quiet simple existence for so long, even while searching for my daughter, that the recent upheavals had unsettled me. I just longed to be alone with Marius, away from all of this strife, but that would have to wait. Other matters took precedence over our own personal desires.

I smoothed Christine's tousled blond curls away from her flushed cheeks. "My dear one, I have already dealt with the devil. I do not care to meet with him again. Our last encounter did not end pleasantly for me. I almost lost myself." I shook off the memories, "Now, what is this about an angel? It sounds as if you had quite a nightmarish experience. Rest quietly now, we will watch over you, and keep you safe from all of the terrors." I kept stroking her hair, until she slept peacefully again. Ove her head, my worried eyes met those of Marius. I shrugged. Only time would reveal if Christine was permanently scarred. She had already survived so many horrors in her short life, it was a wonder that she had survived.

I hope that this experience does not unbalance her mind, permanently. I have seen such a thing happen, in th past. Consider what happened to my Nikki. Christine was so newly made. We shall have to watch her closely for the next several weeks. She was muttering in her sleep about Memnoch, and angel's blood. We may have to destroy her, although that would sa den me greatly. We must think about the greater good, above our own personal desires." Marius nodded sadly, and we were silent, all three of us lost within our own private thoughts.

There are clearings in the jungles of africa, and south america that have never been seen by mortal eyes. Creatures such as no one has ever seen, and ruins of civilizations that were on the earth so long ago the there is no hi t of a myth of them left to modern times. I spent time in one of those temples in the congo just before I returned to New Orleans, there are some fascinating pictures in there, you should see them..." I went on about the things I had seen, and the places I had been until even I got sick of listening to myself. "I have gone on too far I'm afraid." I smiled at Claudia.

Marius, Lunadark, and I raced after Christine, through the absolute darkness of the Irish forest. We stumbled into a clearing, and came to an abrupt halt. I held up my hand to silence the others. The ancient one was scrabbling in the dirt, digging despe ately, until Christine's arm was exposed. He lifted her wrist, poised to sink his fangs into her flesh. Silently, I slipped up behind him, and holding him in my inescapable grip, I sank my own fangs into his neck, and drained him, until there was nothin left but an empty husk. I broke his neck, for good measure, and thrust his body at Marius. "Here, my old friend, burn this. I will free Christine." Marius and Lunadark cleared an area of brush, so that the fire would not spread, and the old one's cor se went up like so much dry tinder. Carefully, I cleared the dirt away from Christine, and cradled her limp body in my arms. I was the one responsible for her rebirth, and look what I had left her to! How could Pandora have been so derelict in the duty of Christine's protection, that I had charged her with? I would need answers the next time that I saw her. Silently, in the clearing, the three of us stood, and watched until the last embers sputtered out, and then we scattered the foul ashes, to insure his total destruction. Then, Marius, with his arm around poor bemused Lunadark, and I, carrying the tender burden of Christine, returned to the cottage.

Please don't refer to me by my real name, I hate it. Well, I don't have much to say right now.... You know, there are real vampires on this earth, and they do feed on life, but not blood. They feed on joy and happiness, leaving nothing but misery. They re everywhere in todays society. I'm back, but I'm going to stay away from here for this week, just to get everything under control. And I've sord of been jammed full of anti depressents. I'll be back probadly by this weekend. Thanx for all your conce n............

I ran into the night. Screaming as Memnoch's blood burned my veins. Was it possible that I was praying? Maybe. The world seemed to change. No longer a paved road but a dirt path, no longer the Irish country side, but a desert, no moon, but that horrible s n. I cringed, thinking I was going to die. But I didn't burn, except for the blood that was driving me insane. Something - someone touched me. A beautiful man with golden hair and white skin. At first I thought it was Lestat until I saw the wings. *Drink, and be healed of my brethern's evil.* A bloodied wrist was pressed to my mouth and I drank. Not the blood of God, but something as powerful as Memnoch's, perhaps stronger. Cooling my veins. I felt myself falling backwards, into cool nighttime soil of Irel nd. I dug into it, letting it cover me. I slept. And healed. And - And I prayed.

On into the night, we chased after the crazed Christine, Lestat, Lunadark and I. It was nearly morning when we finally caught up to her, a bloody mess trapped in a dead end alleyway.

"Those are not exactly up to date, and that's not really what I meant. Since when do the actions of a person tell us who they are, what is going on inside them. I would like to know you." I said, and paused, my words were asking for something much more ntimate than I had originally planned. "I apologize, I didn't mean to sound so intrusive. Please, tell me whatever you wish, but don't feel pressured."

"Tell you about myself?" I did not know what to say, or where to begin. There seemed so very much to tell, and yet I did not want to tell any of it. I was not in the mood for idle chatter such as this, my mind was precoccupied, and I wanted only to think. "Well...I...surely you have read the books. You must have learned much of me there." I did not want to talk, but I found that I did not want to be alone either.

Suddenly I heard a defening laughter, and the floor fell out from beneath my feet. I was falling down a semingly endless hole, when I felt his arms enfold me. I knew the feel of those arms, I remembered every curve of the body that was against mine. " I c n help you Dierdre, I can make it all stop." He said, that same tone in his voice that had decived me into thinking he cared so many years ago. "Stephan!" I ghasped, "How can it be? What do you want of me?" " I'm dead Dierdre, and I've come reclame you my love." He answered. "But you never cared for me, it was..." He cut me off before I could finish, "Things have changed, many, many, things. To think you've out lived both of us." He said his voice thick with irony. " Now what Stephan, would you see me dead so that I can join you and your mother?" I could feel all the old wounds resurfising, all the things I'd burried deep within my self, and never confessed to anyone. "No Dierdre, what use are you to me if you are dead?" That same old smile playing with his lips. " What use am I? What do you want of me? I asked you before, now tell me!" "All in good time my love, all in good time." Then he vaneshed, and I landed upon my own floor, I was completly alone. Had I dreamt the whole thing? What of my going undergro nd? I began to wonder just how much of the past few nights had been real, and what had been an allusion. I thought of Stephans betrayal, how he had decived me into loving him, and I knew that he meant to do it again, and that I was powerless to stop him. e had said he was dead, but how did he die? His words came back to me, " All in good time my love, all in good time."

I'm sorry that he did that to you guys. We should of seen the signs. He's in the hospital, we found him before he did anything to stupid. I think their going to keep him there for awhile though, to make sure he's alright in the mind, and won't try to hurt himself again. This isn't the first time though. I think it was the break up he just went through that sent him like that. I'm not sure when he'll be back, you know parents, of course they don't know Kief went there, he kept it pretty much a secret, they think vampire things influence him. I'll tell him that all you guys are worried about him, but you know, he might be stubborn to go back, man's pride an' all. Well I'm sure I've tied you up long enough. When my parents tell me when he's coming out of the ward, I'll e-mail you. Natasha Blight, Cheryl Sharron

I would not denie my friend her one wish, my real name is Kiefer Sharrom (Pronounced Charron). I guess 18 years was all my sane mind could handle. Goodbye my riends, I'm sorry.

Nicolas led me into town, and helped me feed. I offered to take him to my apartment. On our way there, I saw a strange man. He looked as if he were bekoning for me to come to him, then he disappeared. I looked away, and although I was startled, I did not say anything. We arrived at my building, and I led him inside. Once we were saftly inside, with the door locked. I turned to him and asked, "Now, tell me, why did you pull me from the Earth?"

"I simply can't remember anymore, my dear." I laughed uneasily, "So many things have happened, it has slipped my mind." I stared across the room, drifting in memory. "But tell me about yourself. I know so little of you." I smiled at the porceline-like reature with her curls like a doll.

"Yes, Marius, I believe..." I started to reply to Marius's question, but suddenly a filthy and disheveled figure burst up from the basement. It was roaring in anger, face red with blood rage. The three of us recoiled in shock, taking a few moments to r gister that the crazed form was, in fact, Christine. What had happened to her? She bore no resemblance to the immortal Christine that I had created. She was screaming incoherently, and raving about "the old burned one", and Memnoch. She raced past us lindly, and tore out of the door into the forest. I looked at Marius, but he seemed as dumbfounded as I felt. Poor Lunadark was completely confused by this occurence.

I lay in a dream state. The sun was shining, and I had my hair tied back with a violet ribbon. My mind must have been affected by that Mayfair girl thinking I was Dierdre Mayfair. This must be what it was like for her, I was so happy, nothing could go wro g here. Stephan was here, and he told me he loved me, but this time he meant it, and there was my mother, and she was happy too, and Sumer, ah my poor dead Sumer, she whispered in my ear and then she kissed me softly on the cheek, and we began to dance, a l of us in a circle, the way I used to do when I was mortal and still practicing under my mother. I had stoped before I had been made a vampire, and later had wished I had not. Here all my mistakes had been made right. I could do it all the way I should h ve...suddenly my comforting blanket of Earth was gone, and I had someone by the neck, although they easily broke free of me. I saw my hand in front of me, how quickly I had deteriorated! My hand was like that of a long dead corpse. I felt nothing but hung r as my senses once again awoke. I stared at the immortal man in front of me, and I tried to ask him who he was, but I could not form the words. He guessed my question as though he had read my thoughts, which he probobly had. He asked me if I wanted to go into the city and feed, which of course I did. I was about to leave, when suddenly I realized that I was not wearing any clothes. I looked about me, and found my catsuit hanging in a nearby bush. I quickly untangled it from the branches and put it back on Good thing it hadn't gone into the swamp as was intended. This small effort left me feeling exasted, and I knew that I could not make it back to the city on my own, letalone seduce my victm. This man would have to help me, for he had stolen me from my p radise, and surely he had a reason.

He walked through the streets, what had happened last night? It was all such a blur, he remembered seeing Lekaire back, and Cleopatra in rage, but the rest? It was clouded in a dark mist. He shrugged, other thoughts filling his mind. He would kill thi town he thought with a smile, he couldn't do it alone, not in his condition. Nicolas thought, the others were here, yes he could feel them, but none of them would help. A presence hit him them, not quiet alive, yet not dead, a vampire sleeping? He fol owed the presence, eventually ending in a swamp. He looked at the digusting atmosphere. "Now where are you hiding?" He muttered to himself as he walked around the mud and murky water. "Ah," a smile of satisfaction. "there you are." He pulled up the soi angrily, buring his finger deep in the soil. A pale, almost skeleton like hand made a grab for his throat. He dodged it easily, this vampire was weak. He grabbed the arm and pulled, watching that body emerge. The women, though bearly reconisable, was soiled. He smiled at her. "Are you hungry my dear? A city awaits." She looked at him, a puzzled look on her face. A wicked smile this time. "Nicolas de Lefent." He knew the answer befor she had asked the question.

I don't know how long I was down there. I knew the old one was there too. So weak. So incredibly weak. I longed for fresh blood. If only I was stronger. *I can make you stronger.* Memnoch said softly. *Drink. Lestat has had the blood of God. You shall hav the blood of the Devil.* I couldn't resist. I broke thru his flesh and drank. Blood like no one has ever tasted before. Hot. Burning. I felt strength in me and with a growl I broke away and pulled free of the chains. Power. Raw power. The Devil's power. t filled me and I roared. Where was the old one? I would kill him!

We moved slowly through the ragged old house so as not to cause any more of the beams to fall or the floor to fall in, for it sagged precariously. "Basement",I whispered to my two companions, not knowing if who, or what had brought her could hear us. "I t ink she is in the basement." Slowly, we made our way to the basement steps."Do you sense her down there, Lestat?"

I rushed through the night sky, my feelings of impending doom growing stronger by the mile. I landed near an ancient ruin of a house, just as Marius and his new mate, Lunadark, arrived. I looked at them in surprise. I had not known that Marius had stay d behind in Ireland. Marius was just as surprised to see me, returned so soon, but I explained to them about my premonition. Then we all went into the old house to search for Christine, not at all sure of who, or what, we would find there. I had to duc my head as we went through the doorway, to avoid the beam hanging down from the ceiling.

Marius and I rushed through the forest. He seemed to know just where to go to find Christine. We arrived at an old broken down house, just at the same moment as Lestat appeared before us, out of the night sky. I could see that Marius was surprised to s e him. He told us that he had had a premonition that Christine was in danger. Then we all stepped carefully over the threshold, picking our way through the debris on the floor.

I struggled against my bonds, but the old one knew how to bind a vampire so they wouldn't be able to free themselves. Ah - if only I had more of the old blood in me. Perhaps a drop from those known as The Queen's Of The Damned would free me. But, alas, t ey were not here. I heard Memnoch's laughter in my head. Telling me before long the old one would have all he needed and he would just kill me. Then I could take Nikki's place in Hell. I ignored him. Waiting to die.

"Well,"I laughed,"I have been known to. But it really is not my look. I tend to fit in much better in tailored suits, though." I pulled her to me,"Then it seems we can be on our way, just as soon as I feed. I can only imagine how horribly pale I must look at the moment." I fed on the first mortal that passed my way. We were heading towards the airport (I hate to fly and I didn't know if Luna even could) when I sensed trouble. It was Christine! "Christine is in trouble, Luna! We have to help her before we g . All the others are in New Orleans and she is all alone!" Luna nodded in agreement and we set out to find her.

"Louis is nowhere to be found, Gabrielle," I whispered, "He has vanished!" I comforted Claudia as best I could. Better that Pandora had left her as she was, then she never would have detected that whisper from Louis, and gotten her hopes up. Perhaps it ad not been Louis after all, but a false lure, to get us back here, or to get us away from Ireland... Suddenly, I had a terrible premonition about Christine. I realized that I had not heard a single word from Pandora, since we had returned. "Gabrielle, ook after Claudia for me, for a night or so. I must return to Ireland immediately. I have a very bad feeling that Christine is in mortal danger!" I left immediately, in order to make the trip before dawn.

I couldn't out-fly the vampire and was taken down by him. I screamed and tried to fight against him, but he changed me down and thru me into a dark pit of a basement. Sobbing hysterically. I knew I couldn't contact Lestat because a sire and chylde cannot alk to each other telepathically. In fact, I couldn't reach anyone. The vampire left enough flesh exposed that he could feed on me whenever he pleased. Bringing me only animals to feed on. I wanted freedom but he wouldn't answer. What was I to do? Nothing apparently. Just cry and hope to be rescued.

I walked into the townhouse once again, coming back from a quick feeding, to find Lestat and Claudia together, tears running down her cheeks. I looked around for Louis, but he was nowhere to be found. "Where is Louis?" I asked, "Don't tell me I've miss d him already." Claudia looked away, fresh blood tears running down her cheeks. Lestat whispered something to her, and turning to look at me made a face that could only be described as infinitely sad, and eternally resigned. I bit my lip and sigh. "Wh t a mess." I thought.

"Oh, Marius, we have the whole world before us," I spun around, in the moonlight, from sheer delight. "Where shall we go?" I threw my arms around his neck, and danced about him. "Let us go somewhere, first, where we can be alone together. I wish to know you, to learn from you. There are so many things for you to teach me!" I kissed him, holding his body close to my own. "Have you any castles, in which we can hide ourselves, away from the rest of this crazy world?" I thought of my little cottage, deep within the forests of rural Spain, and wondered if Marius could find contentment there, alone with me.

I burst through the door of the townhouse, only to find Claudia, reclining on a chaise lounge, with slow blood tears trickling down her china white cheeks. I went to her, and took her in my arms, to comfort her. "Don't cry, little one, I'm sorry, but I ave had no luck. There is no sign of Louis anywhere. Now, I seem to have misplaced Gabrielle, as well. It seems that we are alone again, ma petite chere, can you bear the company of your old papa?" I was hoping to cheer her up, and she did indeed manag a small smile, but I could sense the deep despair within her. I felt some of it myself, for Louis seemed to have vanished. I knew that the Talamasca had not captured him, so I could only assume that he had disappeared, for reasons of his own. I hoped hat he would soon return, for I was helpless in the face of Claudia's genuine anguish. Louis had always been her preferred companion.

Come look at the up and running, if not quite finished web page I have created. It's my first and I've been working really hard on it.

I've seen so many sites go down in such a fashion, it never bothered me much before. I will stay and try to keep this site alive instead of letting things take their course as I often do. I think that we should give the characters removed a second chanc , with so many gone we'll need more back. I'll see what I can do to get people coming here. I hope for the best for all of you who have moved on, but I will go down with this site, I refuse to abandon it, I won't disappear again. Farewell for now.

i regret to inform you all that the way circumstances are, i am discontinuing my characters for TBR. Mona is being moved to AMM, and TI, a new RPG. The story of kyle and mona will be transfered to these sites. Louis will not be played by me as we already ave one at AMM, and TI is still being developed. I enjoyed writing here. I thank you all for permitting it.

O.K. everybody, I am E-Mailing Claudia, Yasmin, Jami, and Phil, and offering to take over the ownership of this game, that no one seems to want to deal with, anymore. If they accept, bear with me, as I learn what I need to know. ~ Lin

I awoke on the floor of my little apartment. I realized that I had not been to any store, nor had I sought out Santino. I had meant to do it, but suddenly my detrmination failed me. A deep despair desended upon me, and I wanted to fall asleep and never wa e up. I decided then what I must do. I slowly walked out of the city, until I came to the swamp lands. I began to dig in the soft Earth. I dug a very larg hole for myself, then I stripped out of my cat suit and flung it into the swamp. I jumped into my ho e, pulling the dirt over me like a blanket. Ahhh, the dirt, the dirt will never leave me, I thought as I closed my eyes.

What can I say guys, I'm dissapointed. Some of you still refuse to email each other with storylines. Others don't post enough to really even start a story. This game can not work unless we cooperate with each other, but instead some of you have resorte to name calling and insults. We are supposed to be acting like adults, writing as the characters we love. The Black Rose was supposed to be a game far better than Blessed Darkness. The tables have turned and this game is nothing. Claudia gave me her ourth of ownership, and I must regretfully decline it. I'm giving her fourth and my fourth to Phil. I wish you guys luck because I can not stay. I'm resigning as Natalie Mayfair and Lekiare Nimsay.

I was surfing the wb today, and I came across this sight ( URL above ). It's Buffy the Vampire Slayer versus the Vampire Lestat, and I found it incredibly helarious and I wanted to share it.

I regret that I am quitting this game. I have to many responsibilities right now with my own game and the newsletter that will be ready for publication within 6 months. I have enjoyed my time here and I hand over my fourth of ownership to Yasmine.

I held Luna in my arms. "Where have you always wanted to live my dear? That is where we will go. You are so lovely. It has been a very long time since I have loved and been loved back. I must say that it will take some getting used to on my part, but you ust keep pushing and we will get there. So what say you? Where shall we go?" We left the cemetery in search of food. Luna followed me, not speaking. I could only presume she was deciding what she would most like with her new life, where she would like to e, now that she had someone to spend it with. We came upon a couple of drunkards and fed quickly. The liquor in the blood of the old man gave a happy tipsy feeling and I pulled Luna towards me."You have been thinking for awhile now. That is obvious. So wh re will it be? What will our life be like?"

I decided there was nothing that I could do to help the girl, so I left her to her fate. I wondered for a while, and then it occoured to me what I should do. I hopped on the next flight to New Orleans. Upon arriving, I quickly aquired an apartment with th money Armand had left me. I took the first descent thing I found. Then I went to a department store, I had been wearing the same thing for two nights, and bought a short, skintight black velvet dress. I also purchased a pair of very high heeled black sho s with black roses embroidered on them. I looked at my self in the mirror, and after applying a bit of red lipstick, I found my image quite satisfactory. I left the shop, and quickly sought out Santino. I had overheard that he was coming here, and I thoug t he could help me. " Santino, will you teach me? "
