"Lestat! Would you let me read! Why don't you go with David to the cimena?" He asked as he tried to get his book from me. I pulled it out of his reach so he sighed and rolled his eyes at me.

"Lestat! Iam not in the mood to play games with you. Give me my book and go do something you enjoy." I smiled at him and dropped the book. I watched him as he up and get his book from off of the floor. As he stopped next to me I grabbed his left sleeve and turned him towards me. His eyes locked with mine for a moment. That was all I could stand. I grabbed him by his lapels and pushed him against the desk.

"Go do something I enjoy Louis?" I heard myself say as I tore at his cloathing playfully. He left himself open to suggestion by saying that statement that way and I was going to sieze the opportunity with both hands. I cupped his head gently with my hands and captured his lips with my own. I closed my eyes when I heard him moan. His body went limp in my grasp as I let my tongue caress his. I vaguely felt his hands on my hips through my passion driven mind. My fingers fumbled with the damn buttons on his shirt. I was impatient with his cloathing! I tore his cloathes off. My need relaxed slightly but it rushed back hotter than before when I felt his naked body against mine. A moan of fustration found its way out when I felt my cloathing against his flesh. I started to tear at my cloathes when I felt Louis's hands on mine. He broke off the kiss.

"Let me love." His voice was soft and seductive. One look into his eyes revieled his calm characteristic wasy of dealing wih me. I did not want him to undress me! He took his time about it and I wanted to feel him now, in my arms! But he called me love. I nodded and let him take over.

He gently touched my hair and my neck. I closed my eyes and reeled against the empty air. He used one hand to steady me. He ran his fingers against the silk on my chest. I could not help but moan against his neck. He pushed me away a little so he could watch me. I knew he enjoyed watching me as he made love to me. His fingers started working the buttons on my shirt. As soon as my button let go it's cloth Louis bent towards me and kissed the exposed flesh. I moaned in estacy as he continued his task. I felt him pull my shirt from my leather pants. My mind reeled so I grabbed a hold of his hair. I heard him whimper in pain. My eyes shot open and I saw him lay his head against my chest. I could not figure out why he was whimpering; my mind was drugged on his touch. I felt his fingers clawing at my hands and wrists. It finally dawned on me! I was pulling his hair. I let go and he instantly fell to his knees. His hands were covering his hair protectively. I was crazed by the idea that I had hurt him viciously. I knelt infront of him and carefully embraced him.

"Mon amour! Louis I'm sorry! Did I hurt you badly? Let me see!" I was hysterical. I tried my best to curve my strength around him but he made me delirious. He drew his hands away to check for blood. I was tryingto see if I had hurt him but he pushed me away and stood up. I looked up at him. There was anger in his eyes but it was extinguished when he came up to a solution in our situation. He picked me up and lead me to his bedroom. He sat me down on his bed and headed towards his closet. I watched as he removed the false floor and I heard him move things around. A trimpuhant sound came from him as he found what he wanted. I watched as he turned around and and came towards me with heavy chains. He attached the chains to the bed and then he attached them to my wrists. I wanted to tell him that I could break loose but he did not give me a chance. He pushed me down on the bed and crawled up on top of me. I felt my hands twist around the chain. He looked at the chains and then to me.

"Lestat I love this bed. I do not want it torn to pieces! So behave yourself or I'll stop!" I nodded but I knew I was going to have a hard time doing that. I wanted to touch him. No, I corrected. I needed to touch him. I forgot any other thoughts I was having when he kissed me again. Passionate on the lips, like a human would kiss their lover. I moaned and wrapped my arms around him. Louis let his hands roam over my body. I closed my eyes and all I could see was this brilliant red light, I felt him pull my leather pants off carefully. I felt my body shiver. He stopped for a moment to remove my shoes. I damned myself for putting on so many layers of cloathes. Each piece was an obstical for him to conquer! My body jerked impatiently and the chains whined. Louis stopped and looked up at me. He moved to my hips and sat on them as he checked the chains and the bedposts.

"Louis! This is insufferable! Please love! Finish what you've started! Please!" I cried out as he stopped moving. I opened my eyes and looked up at him. "Louis I swear if I break your bed or chains I'll buy you new ones! Please finish this!" I pleaded as his green eyes looked into mine.

"It's not the chains I'm worried about Lestat. I just realized that I'm going to have to tear your shirt off of you. It's a very nice shirt." I was crazed by that.

"Louis are you crazy?! Tear my shirt off! I need you! If you don't, I will! I will buy you thousands of these shirts if you like them so much! Please!" I cried but he got off of me. I sat up instantly. I reached for him but he stepped out of my grasp. I moaned as I felt the chains strain against my wrists. If he lets me go I will take him against his will, if I need to!

Suddenly I heard him laughing to himself. Was he laughing at me? I looked up at him. His eyes held a devilish look and he rubbed his hands together. The smile on his face held some devilish secret inside.

"Louis, my love please..." Before I could finish my sentence he crawled back on top of me,

"Lestat? Will you object to my idea of raping you? I want to rape you. Just this once please? I've always toyed with the idea of raping you. Can I?" He asked sincerley as he brushed a few stray hairs from my face. I closed my eyes and moaned. I would walk through fire if he asked me to.

"Louis, do whatever you want to me! If you want to rape me then..." He cut me off as I felt his hand hit my face. The blow was not what stun me, it was the fact that he actually hit me. He never hits me unless I am hurting him without realizing what I was doing to him.

"I did not give you permission to speak." He said as he grabbed my shirt and ripped it from my body. I was delirious with need. I moaned and I let him push me underneath him. He kissed my neck and his lips sucked my skin into his mouth. If he would only bite my skin I would finally get him to take more blood from me, but he did not. He kissed and sucked all the places that came in contact with his lips. His hands roamed up my arms and he grasped my fingers within his own. He moaned as he tore his lips from my thigh. I felt my blood quicken as he brushed his body seductivily against mine. He let go of my hands and leaned down to whisper his demands in my ear.

"Lestat take my blood. I need you to. Please make this rapture." I closed my eyes at his request. I was crazed. He quickly released me from the chains. I cruelly grabbed his hair and forced him underneath me. I nuzzed his neck, treasuring his gift. I heard him muffle a gasp of pain. I realized that I was pulling his hair again.

"Louis, I'm so sorry. Forgive me love but I need you so much. Please!" I let go of his hair and gently cupped his chin away from the artery I found. I eased down his body and kissed the flesh that covered the artery. All I could see was that artery becoking to be bitten into. I felt his hands pull my neck down. I closed my eyes to the idea of us sharing blood at the same time. I opened my mouth against his neck as I felt him suck at my neck. I beared my fangs to his skin. Oh this is estacy!

Part 3

I just finished licking the salt from his neck when I felt him push at my chest. I thought that he was just trying to stop me from taking him so quickly but he shoved against me harder.

"Lestat! Get off of me! Quickly! I have to get dressed and so do you!" It took awhile for it to sink in.

"But Louis why...?" I could not make sense of what he was telling me. He grew impatient and he hit me with all of his strenght. Usually that could not move me but I was too dazed to respond normally. I was shoved to the opposite side of the bed.

'What did I do wrong?' I watched him dig around for his cloathes and he got me some new ones from the closet. He soon started tossing cloathes at me as he hopped around trying to get his pants on.

"Louis?"

"Hurry up and get dressed Lestat! Marius is at the door!" Marius? Suddenly I sensed him. Louis had me so distracted that I did not sense anyone coming. As soon as Louis finished throwing on his cloathes he rushed out of the room. I heard him open the door.

"Marius! Come in! I am so sorry about making you wait. Please have a seat. How are you? How was Russia? Armand? Daniel?" I heard my lover ramble on nervously as he tried to collect himself. I reached for one of his robes and made my way downstairs to greet our guest.

"Well hello to you too Louis! Russia is cold. Armand and Daniel are off and about seeing Moscow. I decided to leave them alone for awhile but everyone is fine. Louis I know you love reading Keats but will you let me sit on his work?" Marius pointed out. Louis looked at the chair and there was another copy of Keats that he had left behind when I started my games. He blushed and went to go retrieve his book.

"I am so sorry Marius. I..."

"Marius how are you?" I asked as I made it into the room.

"Fine. How are things..." Marius stopped speaking when Louis dropped the book and whimpered in pain. We both looked at him. Louis gently started to rub his wrists and tried his best to stop his tears.

"Child what...?" Marius started but I cut him off as I placed myself between them.

"Louis what happened? Please let me see your wrists." I asked soothingly as I gently peeled his hand away and shoved his sleeves off. I was in shock. His wrists were swollen where the bones were trying to heal.

"How did you break your bones Louis?" Marius asked him as he shoved me out of the way to examine Louis closer.

"It was an accident Marius. Lestat..." Louis started to explain but Marius had turned his attention to me. I could feel his power as well as his anger as he came towards me. He shoved me against the wall and I could not fight back because nothing was making sense. How did Louis break his bones?

"How dare you hurt Louis? What do you need to feel your power Lestat? If you wanted to I am always willing to show you what power is!" Marius shouted at me. I did not realize that Louis was grabbing at Marius's hand before it struck me.

"Marius. Lestat and I are both to blame!" Louis cried out as he got himself between the two of us. I was still trying to figure out how Louis had broken his bones. I was seeing the present but my mind was still trying to figure out the past.

"Louis how did you break your bones?" I asked when I could not come up with any answers. Marius looked at me furiously as Louis wrapped his arm around Marius and lead him away from me.

"It is not anythig life threating Marius. Lestat and I were sharing an intimate moment when you showed up. I guess I took Lestat away from his senses because we did not hear or feel you comming. I tried to get him off of me when I knew you were waiting downstairs but he was not prepared for my sudden change of heart. That is the truth and if you do not belive me you can read my mind. It is all there as I just explained." Slowly the images came to my mind. The scene played out exactly how he said it did.

"Louis I am so sorry. Forgive me amour."

"Naturellement Lestat." He said lovingly. Marius let Louis lead him back to the chair and soon they were in a conversation about all the younger vampires hanging around here. Halfway through their conversation David came home.

"Hello Marius. How are you doing?" He asked as he closed the door and came into the room. Usually I would be questioning him about the movie but my mind was still on Louis.

"Fine David. How have you been?" Marius asked as he bandaged Louis's wrist with some of scrapes of my silk shirt from Louis's bedroom.

"Good are you ready to share your story with me?" David asked as he sat down infront of Marius with a blank book and pen in his hand.

"Not tonight David. I am busy taking care of Louis."

"But Marius..." I was getting frustrated.

"Enough David!" I exclaimed as I took a chair and placed it behind Louis so he could sit down.

"Please Marius! There is no need for you to do this. I am fine, really." Louis had grown uncomfortable with all the attention centered on him. He pulled his wrists away and went to go get something from the house.

"Marius, I simply must have your narrative. Please! I have Pandora's and Armand's. Yours will complete the series." David said as he clicked the pen so it could write.

"You are a self individual David! Louis is hurt and all you care about is your stupid series! Well now I will not give it to you!" Marius got up and went to go find Louis.

"See what you have caused?" I scolded as I went to go get dressed and find Louis and Marius.

Part 4

I found them sitting underneath a tree talking softly to each other. I cleared my throat to announce my presence and they looked up at me. The anger in Marius's eyes had vanished and Louis's eyes held nothing but love for me. I sat down a few inches away from both of them because I did not want to risk offending either of them by sitting too close.

"Lestat go get Louis someone to feed on. He is not healing fast enough." Marius said as he continued his conversation with Louis. I nodded and went back inside to make sure Mojo had water and food to eat. I gave him more water and was getting ready to leave when David came up behind me. He wrapped me up in his embrace and nuzzled my neck as he gathered his thoughts.

"Can I come with you?" He asked in a soft whisper.

"No. I do not have time to watch over you. Now let me go! I have to get Louis blood." I said as I stepped outside and went hunting.

Finding a loathsome, violent and ignorant human is not that hard to do in Paris. I found Louis's victim and dragged him back to our residence. I watched as Louis feed on him the best he could considering that his wrists were still trying to heal. I felt so guilty. I just sat there and waited for someone to address me. They talked about anything that came to their minds once Louis had finished feeding. I decided to get rid of the body so I found a rat that was across the yard and ripped it in half. I let the rat's blood fall onto the puncture wounds of the body and then spit on the wound to seal it up. I left the body outside the local tavern in the alley after I made sure the body did not have any identification on it. As soon as I had burned the id I rushed back to Louis.

By the time I got back dawn was comming. Louis was placed in his bed fast asleep with the curtains drawn. I found Marius in my bedroom preparing himself to go to sleep and David was in his room sleeping alone. I decided to sleep with Louis but I changed my mind and fell asleep in the living room knowing that Marius was still awake in my bedroom.

The next evening Marius, David and I woke up at the same time and I went to go check on Louis. I was checking his wrists when he grabbed at my neck. His hands came up and gave my neck a violent twist.

I was ever so glad that my body's natural instincts to follow the motion kicked in. If I had been mortal my neck would have been snapped like a twig and Louis would have never known about it. I watched as his hands fell back into its resting place and he was once again motionless. I got up and left the room.

I meet Marius and David downstairs. David was trying to finish off a narrative he began ealier and Marius was leafing through Keats. I decided to entertain our guest while Louis was still asleep. I had some time before Louis would wake up and have to feed.

Marius and I had a hard time finding something to talk about. We tried discussing Keats but I could not develop an opinion of the man. If anyone wanted to argue that man's ideas they would have to argue with the world's non-living expert on Keats, Louis.

We went from astrology to the zodiac but none of the subjects we covered were strong enough to keep a conversation going. Finally an hour after sunset Louis came downstairs and he and Marius got into a discussion about Keats. The discussion had its moments. Marius would agrue ancient philosophies and Louis would try to discredit them the best he could but I soon got tired of listening to their conversation. To excuse myself I said I was going to get Louis something to eat and Louis decided to join me. Marius left to go check up on Armand and Daniel. We left David at home so he could work on his narrative.

Louis and I were silent while looking for his first victim. I did not want to do something that might upset him. Yes he might be weak but I love him. I felt a strong urge to take him and make him mine but one look at his pale face made me change my mind. The intesity faded but the need was still there. We soon bumped into a few potiential victims in the alleys behind a strip joint. Louis fed as I watched his skin color from the warm blood. After he had finished off his second victim we disposed of the bodies in a garbage site. My poor Louis if the stench was unbearable for me I could just imagine how bad it was for him. When we finished burying the bodies we headed back home.

A few blocks before we arrived I gave into my need and kissed him infront of the world. He quickly pushed me away and disappered down the street. I decided not to follow him, after all I did embaress the poor creature. I knew he would return home by dawn so I did not worry about him. I entered my home to find David going through Louis's library.

Part 4b

"David? Need something?" I asked as I did my best to control my temper. David going through Louis's library was a violation of Louis's privacy. I took it offensively.

"Oh I'm looking for Cloudia's journal. Do you know what it looks like?" He asked as he continued to go through selves of Louis's books.

"Yes I do. Unfortunately it's not here. Louis keeps it somewhere else. I never asked. Cloudia was his companion maybe a daughter to him. All that survived of her existance is with him somewhere safe. Why do you want it?" I asked as I sat down on Louis's desk and waited for an answer. David figeted for a moment with his bow tie before he looked at me.

"My friend Arron Lightner wants to see it." It was a very lame excuse and we both knew it.

"Oh I see. Now do you mind telling me the truth?" I asked as I watched David's face mask itself in uncertainty and fear.

"It is true Arron asked me for her journal."

"I see, but I have three questions for you David. First, why would Lightner be interested in Cloudia's journal? After all his area of concern is witches and their past. My second question is why are you still working with Talascma? (*I know I can't remember how to spell it! A thousand apologizes oh great readers!*) What Armand and Pandora have given you should be enough to shut those monks up for awhile. My last question would be why are you looking for her journal when you can ask Louis or myself for information?" I asked as I sat down and waited for him to reply.

"Because..."

"Because he knows I'll never give him the answers he is looking for. Cloudia has already been discussed and I will not go into further detail." I turned around to find Louis standing in the doorway looking directly at David. Louis was furious. I got up and took the book from David's hands.

"Where is the book Louis?!!!" David shouted as he ran straight towards him. I tried to stop him but I did not react quickly enough. Luckily Louis had already moved out of David's way.

"It is safe from your human associates. It is not here. I am not that trustworthy of anyone to have it here." Now I was confused. What did Louis mean by the book was safe from David's human associates? They did not have it? If not what do they have?

"A friend of mine ran a few tests on the journal. It turns out it was written in the last century. The book was left out in the weather to make it appear older than it really was. I want that book Louis and I swear I will retrieve it!" David exclaimed as he left the room and went into his bedroom.

"Louis is it true?" I asked as I started to place Louis's books back on the shelves. He did not answer me as he picked up some more books. He was quiet and I knew he was not going to tell me. I placed the books down and walked over to him. I took the books from his hands and tossed them on a nearby chair. I quickly took his chin and forced him to look at me. There was pain and anger in his eyes.

"How dare you let him touch my books! Cloudia's journal belongs to me! Not those worthless human history collectors! What will they do to it? Did you honestly think I would ever give you her journal? As long as I am alive her journals will be in my possession." He muttered angerly. I wanted to comfort him for some odd reason. I knew then as I know that Louis would always be my reminder of those troublesome sixty years. Louis carried all of those painful memories and concious. I will not allow David to use Louis's memories for those scientists's entertainment. Tommorrow I am going to demand that David stop hurting my beloved Louis.

But until tommorrow evening I had this chance to talk to Louis privately. I know that I should have taken the oppurtunty to talk to Louis about Cloudia but the pain already there in his eyes was too much for me to stand. I wrapped my arms around his waist and held him.

I was a coward. I realized this when I felt his cold flesh. I was a coward because I always hurt him instead of dealing with problems. I made him into a vampire because I did not want to be alone in this hell. I helped him create Cloudia because he was going to leave me. Cloudia was an attempt to keep him with me. Unfortuantely after Cloudia's death I really lost him. He withdrew and grieved violently.

He helped clean out many useless vampires. Armand was the only survior because he was forwarned. Louis always protects the ones he loves.

"Louis?" I whispered into his shoulder.

"What Lestat?" I felt his fingers touch my hair. The sensation made me re-word my question.

"If I had not made Cloudia would you have..." I could not bring myself to finish the question.

"Would I have what?" He asked as he held me a little closer. He always knows how to comfort me. I drew strength from him. I closed my eyes and dared myself to finish the question.

"Would you have gone mad like Nicholi? Am I really so hard to live with? Please tell me the truth." There! I forced those thoughts past my lips. I trembled slightly but Louis held me closer. For the longest time he did not answer me. Fear was clawing me from the insided. I never dared to ask him this question out of the fear of what he would answer.

"I do not know Lestat. I know I am the weakest of our kind. I've read everyone say that. I do not know why I was the only one of your children to survive. Well I'll correct that, before David to survive. I think the reason why I do is because I am such a ghost that no one is threatened by me. The twins can kill me with a thought. David can kill me. Armand and Daniel can kill me. Marius, Pandora, Gaberialle, Santiago or anyone else who cares to do so. The reason they do not is because they are too indifferent or because of you. Nicholi? Lestat I never knew him. All I know is he went mad and killed himself. Maybe so many losses have made me stronger than he was. Maybe you had more experience making vampires. Maybe during the time that past between him and I you grew wiser. I do not know.
Are you hard to live with? In the beginning you were. You needed company but Cloudia never wanted to stay with you. You were cold to her Lestat. Yes, you loved her in your own way but she grew to hate you.
I might as well tell you now. I am going to be leaving soon and go home to New Orleans. It is becoming very difficult to stay here. I love you Lestat. You should know that but if we stay together for much longet our relationship will suffer. I do not know why I can not stay with anyone for too long. You first, then Cloudia and then Armand. If I stay a century with anyone it went well." My heart froze when he mentioned Armand.

"Did you love him?" Why did I ask that question? It was none of my business! The hell it wasn't! Louis is mine! I had to let him go otherwise I would have crushed his bones.

"Who Armand? I really don't know. I think we were together out of necessity. I had lost Cloudia and he had lost his traditions. We did not know who or where to go to..." I interrupted him inpatiently.

"Did you love him?!" He did not answer me. He just stepped away from me and left the house.

"Louis!" I shouted as I tried to follow him but he disappeared. Dawn was almost here. He would probably sleep in the ground until the sun went down. I wanted to find him but what would it accomplish? I decided to let him have his space. He would be back in a few nights.

Part 5
