I awaken from my slumber still angered by the events of the previous night. That whole encounter with Michael and how he wanted me to make him into a full vampire infuriated me!, "I am not the one he should be asking! He should ask that woman who seduced him and stole his heart!" This I say to myself as I pace about the parlor. Lestat has long since left me to my thoughts and gone out on his own nightly prowl. Perhaps I should have gone with him? It would have taken my mind off of last night's encounter anyhow.
I decide that there is no sense just being gloomy and cooped up in this apartment for the whole evening. Instead, I decide to take a walk to my favorite spot, the park.
There are not as many people here as there was last night, just a few artists finishing up their works of the river and it's ships and a few friends sitting around laughing. I find a seat far away from them all and enjoy the solitude and listen to the water as it laps against the bank. The sound is so soothing that I do not hear Michael approach. This alarms me so much that this half-mortal should come so close without my knowing that I stand upon noticing his presence.
"I'm sorry if I'm intruding, but I really need your help."
I stare at him menacingly and grit my teeth while saying,"If you have come to ask again, the answer is still the same so you are wasting your time!"
"No, I understand and I won't ask you about that anymore. It's just that, I can't get away from her. She is with me always and has control over me and my body because her blood flows in me. I don't know what to do! You must help me!"
I stare at this pitifull half-mortal for a long time then let out a long sigh. "Alright, I will help you."
"Good! Come with me!" he says enthusiastic of my resignation to finally help him.
He grasps my arm with his hand and pulls me off the bench back towards town. He takes me into a nightclub and I am at once ill at ease. I do not fit in here or even if I do, I don't really wish to be here at all. The music is deafening to my fantastic ears and the bright lights zooming everywhere hurt my vampire eyes. I am led by him up a flight of stairs to the chambers above. When through a set of doors I realize that this is an apartment.
The apartment is dimly lit with candles everywhere. I look to my right to ask Michael a question, but he is no longer there. This doesn't phase me, but I am a bit curious as to who or what really led me here. I start to walk through and I find myself in a bedroom with a bed adorned with white silk sheets, draped with a white lace canopy over the entire bed. There are candles all around then I see a figure on a blacony. The person turns around and enters the room. It is a woman, Matthew's woman, the seductress of captivating beauty.
She walks over to me and smiles. I look at her with no emotion on my face, blocking my thoughts from her.
"You must be the ever infamous Louis?" she says charmingly.
"Yes, I am Louis. Why was I brought here?" I ask, for the most part, sure of her intentions.
She moves in closer and takes off my coat and unbuttons my silk blouse. Her hands caress my chest then move to unzip my pants when I grab both of her arms in my hands.
"No!.." I say, not with total conviction, but I know if I let her it will lead to greater consequences.
She looks at me, marvelling at my strength for I can read her thoughts as clear as night. I free her hands and she continues on her course anyway, not heeding my unwillingness for this to go on. She slips my pants to my feet then sits me down on the end of the bed, pulling my pants from my feet and throwing them aside. She disrobes me of my blouse then lays me on my back. She lays over me and kisses me deeply with great passion. I return her kiss with the same amount of desire.
She pulls of her nightgown revealing to me that she wears nothing on underneath that covering. She kisses me again, her lips travelling to my throat and her breasts press against my chest. I moan a bit when her lips touch my throat and her body responds to my sound. She takes her leg and begins rubbing it against my cock, getting it hard and erect.
Then, I turn over and lay her on her back kissing her deeply while tenderly caressing her breasts with my hands. I spread her legs gently with my hands then I begin slowly licking just outside of her, teasing her with each flick of my tongue.
She arches her back in response and I penetrate her with my tongue, deeply caressing inside of her. She moans aloud and her body moves to greet my tongue. Then I begin to work her with my hand, slowly at first, then faster as the passion within me grows. I move back up to reclaim her lips to mine as we kiss and the room becomes heated.
I position myself between her legs and thrust into her forcefully with my cock. She cries out in exhiliration with each lustfull push deeper inside of her. She licks her lips and clutches the sheets with her hands as our bodies move as one. Then I slowly withdraw from her and exhaustedly lay down beside her.
Just then the candles blow out as a breeze blows into the apartment. With my vampire eyes I can still see everthing picture perfectly. She lays on top of me and presses her lips to mine. Gently at first, then her kisses become sultry and wild. Her lips travel again to my throat and I gasp aloud. I feel her lips firmly press against it then, suddenly, her teeth penetrate my throat and quickly begin withdrawing blood.
Being the strong vampire I have always been, I immediately throw her off me and she slams against the wall with a loud Thud. I get up and redress myself. She stands as I am finishing buttoning my white blouse. There is anger in her eyes and they flash at me a bright purple, her vampire eyes. She lunges at me again stupidly and this time I pin her against the wall.
"You made a grave mistake when you tried to take my blood! I don't know who you are or what your name is, but I want nothing to do with you for that crossing! Try that again and I will guarantee an enternity of immense pain!" I say quite angered that she had dared to try such an act on me.
She spits blood in my face. "My name is Milanthe! And I will never rest now that I have tasted your soul!"
With that I just let her go. She throws on the nightgown then runs out of the room and disappears.
I shake my head to clear my mind as I finish redressing myself then leave that dreadfull place behind. I get back to the apartment and find Lestat seated in my chair talking to someone seated across from him. He looks from that person to me and a mystified look crosses his face.
"What on earth happened to you!?" he asks and stands to walk over to me.
"What do you mean?" I say, playing the fool as if I don't know what he's talking about.
"You have blood all over your lips and it has trailed down your chin onto your white blouse! That will never come out you know! I always thought you were the more careful one!" he says, disgusted at me. I laugh at this for I realize now that he is having a fit over the ruined blouse and doesn't suspect a thing of this night's encounter.
"Well, anyhow, come, this girl here says she is a good friend of yours?" he says and points to the young lady who was seated across from him. I recognize the girl right away.
"Regina, it is good to see you again." I say politely and take her into my embrace while Lestat looks on questioningly. "It's alright Lestat, I met her years ago after I left Nora and before I returned to you. I heard her cries in my head and went to her. Her father was abusive and her mother was a drunk that stayed out all evening and was hardly ever home. I took her away from all that."
"Yes, that is like you, Louis. But what I don't understand is, where did you leave her and why are you here now?" he says then turning to Regina.
"I left her in care of her grandmother in England and told her that if she ever wanted she could come to here and visit me."
"So, you told her how to get here and where we lived?" Lestat asks, looking to see if Regina is trustworthy.
I laugh and put my arm around Lestat. "It is alright, she wouldn't tell a soul because she knows of both our power, especially yours from the tales I have told her." I laugh again and he joins in this time.
He bends down to look her face to face and say,"It is nice to have a child among us again, especially a child that wants to be with us."
When he says that it takes both of us back to our child, Claudia. The one with the doll-like curls and the irritable temper. The one who turned on Lestat then abandoned me to go to Madeline in return for my seeking companionship in Armand which I still regret to this day. I have always felt that if I had resisted Armand's temptations that she would still be with me today.
I sigh deeply and turn my thoughts back to Regina. "You may stay here as long as you like." I say to her warmly. She smiles at me and I lead her to my room. I put her to bed then I go back to the parlor where Lestat is standing before the fireplace deep in contemplation. I go up to him and stand beside him.
"I know you are thinking of Claudia, but you must put her behind you now. You cared for her, that much I know, but she turned on you and now she is gone from us both. Now we must move on." I say softly to him to help ease his pain.
He looks at me and I see a single blood-tear trickle down his cheek. "Louis.." he whispers softly.
I tenderly take him into my arms and we embrace eachother for a long time, comforting one another in this painful rememberance. Then Lestat looks at me questioningly. "What happened this evening?"
I knew he knew! I look away from his face to the flames. He turns my head so that I face him once more.
"Louis,..tell me what happened." he says in a concerned manner.
I let out a long deep sigh then sit down with him before the fire and proceed to tell him of this night's events. After I am done telling my story I look and his face is hard.
"I would have killed her right there if I were you. Now she threatens to never stop until she has you again!? I will track her down and put and end to her!" he says, getting up and slamming his hand down roughly on the table.
I stand immediately and hush him, pointing to Regina's room. He then understands and his anger recedes.
"No Lestat, I would rather do it on my own."
"Will you stop her, for good?" he asks me.
I nod my head knowing that is the only way to stop this mad woman or whatever she is. With that settled we embrace once more then he goes to his room and I go to mine as dawn steadily approaches.
