Daniel sighed. It had a long time since he had last seen Armand, and he really missed
him. Things just wern't the same, so one evening an idea hit square in the head. * What if
I went to see Armand and tried to work things out with him??* It was insane at first to
Daniel, but the more he thought about it the more resonable it became, so he made a few
phone calls, and viola! He found out they were all gathered at Marius' because of what
had happened to Lestat. So now he found himself at the foot of Marius' fromt door, not
quite sure what he was going to do. * I mean what do i say? 'Hey honey i'm home!' or '
It's me Armand let's takl eventhough i don't think you like me'* Daniel said to himself
quetly. He was just about to give up and walk away, when the door opened. Suddenly a
wave dread came over him, and he wasn't quite sure why. *Please God , don't let it be
Him please don't let it be Armand!* To Daniel surprise a boy answered the door. He
could not pin point the age, but he knew that he was one of them. Who's child he was he
could not tell, but for some reason he really didn't want to know.
"Hello. Can I help you Sir?" asked the boy.
"Um-yah. Hey. Is Armand here?" asked Daniel, the words almost stumbling out of his
mouth.
"Yes he is, can i tell him you are here?"
"No, I wan't to surprise him, where is he?"
"Out back in the garden talking to Marius."
"Thanks." Daniel said to the boy, not giving him much attention anymore, walking away
from the front porch and around the back.
"Your Welcome." Yelled the boy after him befor ehe closed the door.
Daniel reach the gate leading to the back of the house, and held his breath. *Here goes
nothing* he thought and opened the iron steel gate leaidng to the garden.


Daniel slowly walked through the gate, bearly touching the ground, not wanting to be
noticed. It was a rather large garden Daniel noticed. Grand huge Oak trees almost
touching with weeping wilows serving as a background. A small stone path lead around
the side of the building to yet another garden. Daniel decided to folow the path, and as
he rounded the corner he saw him. He was under one of the grand oaks talking to
Marius.
*Armand*. Suddenly Marius stopped in mid-sentence and looked towards for a moment.
He then turned back to Armand said a few words and left. Daniel took this as his chance
and slowly walked up to Armand, who was now sitting under the tree on a bench, and
cleared his throat.
"Hello Daniel." said Armand, nothing in his voice, but hardness.
"Hello Armand. I -uh- was wondering if we could talk?"
Armand turned looking at Daniel, with wtery eyes, but no tears being shed.
"You want to talk? What about Mr.Maloy? The weather? The news?"
"Armand, cut the crap. I had an insane notion that i could come back and we could sort
things out. Do you kow what it's been like for me?! I have done nothing but sit and think
for the past god knwos how long and think of how i could come back without it looking
like me begging or pleading tohave you back. To hell with this! It was a stupid idea
anyways!" Daniel turned to walk off, but Armand grabbed his arm and said "I'm sorry
Daniel."
"What did you say?" Daniel asked shocked.
"I shouldn't have said that it was very colous of me to do so. I understand where you are
comming from but on a diffrent angle. It is not like i have been suffering, but things are
diffrent now and you certainly must know that."
"It's not taht i don't know it Armand becaus i do, it's just that," danile sat down on the
bench next to Armand," It's just that I miss the way they were sometimes,and i just
wanted to see if i could come back. "
"You can Daniel you know that." He said. Just then the same boy that answered the door
came running out of the house. Armand got very uneasy and stood up.
"ARMAND! HURRY! COIME LOOK AT THIS!"
"One moment Begi." Armand yelled back.
"Daniel amy we talk inside? I am sure everyone will enjoy seeing you again."
"I guess so." Armand started to walk away, when daniel grabbed his arm.
"Armand... there are things..."
"Yes there are things that need to be said, but for now Daniel, let's let the past be gone for
now," and with that daniel got off the bench and together they walked into Marius' house.


Part 2

Daniel walked into what was a, to say the least, odd site. As usual Lestat had evryones
attention, but he wasn't sure just why. He looked at Armand to see a some what shocked
face come through his noramlly cool demenor. Later that evening he was brought up to
dta about what had happned, but for now it was a mystery. For a while evryone just
stared at him, not quite sure what to say or act, and no one really took notice of Daniel, or
atleast until Lestat started talking.

"Lestat?" Asked Marius
"Yes Marius?"
"We-how are you?"
"Fine you?"
Daniel foundthis an odd converstaion see ing how he was sitting on the floor, for what
seemed like a while, he only assumed that he had been there for a while.
"I'm fine, hank-you Lestat."
Lestat scanned the room.
"Hello everyone, Louis, Gabrell, Armand, Daniel? What are you doing here?"
Only then did everyone take notice of him. It was quite awkward for most people knew
what happened between them.
"Just came ofr a little visit Lestat," replied Daniel, but by then his attention had moved
else where. Else where was where the girl sitting at the piano and the boy, Bengi.
"Who are they?"
At first no one spoke up. Armand got very uneasy as well as everyone in the room and
stared from armand back to Daniel. The girl and Bengi were quite confused, but stil said
nothing. Marius spoke up.
"This is Cyble," he said pointing ot the girl, and then pointing to the boy " and this is
Bengi."
"When did they get here? Who's are they???"
No one spoke then armand said, "Mine."
Daniel turned to Armand with wide eyes.
"You-You- made them?!?!?!?"
"Daniel you must understand you-"
Daniel turned walking out of the room, "To hell with making up!" and slammed the front
door on the way out.
"How could i ahev been so stupid?!?!?! To think he just moved on! I am an idiot tothink
that i cuold come back!!!!!!" Daniel said to himself out loud, tears staring to well up in
his beautiful brown eyes.
* I actually thought i could make this work! God! I am a fool!!!! No worse then a
fool!!!*

“No you’re not,” came a voice from behind him. Daniel did not need to turn around to
know who it was.
“Yes I am. I was stupid tothink that i oculd come back and he’d be here, and would want
me back. I mean he moved on. I didn’t. Why couldn’t i have moved on Marius??”
He said, tears forming in his eyes.
“There si something i must tell you befor eyou start judging Armand: He did not make
them. They are of my blood, not his.”
“He- he- They- he didn’t make them?” Daniel ask stunned. He was certain that Armand
had mad them both on some insane notion.
Marius continued, “He did not have the, guts as you would say, to do it himself, so i did it
for him. Armand was angry at me, but i know he wanted companionship. The
companionship he did not have at the moment. He has a diffrent love for them, then he
has for you. You know that, Daniel.”
Marius paused for a moment before continuing. “Armand is still in the apartment. He
feels badly that he did not tell you about them Go to him, Daniel. He missed you.”
Daniel turned and looked at Marius, tears streaming down his face, “He misses me?”
“Yes, he does. He’s waiting for you to come back.”
“But.. what about them?? They’re his without the technicalities of haveing made them!
He still loves them, and i am sure won’t leave them for me!”
Marius starred at Daniel, and quietly said, *You must decide what to do, Daniel, not I*,
and Daniel walked away from Marius...knowing what he had to do now, would be the
hardest thing he had ever done.
