There, on his hands and knees, was Lestat rolling up our new rug.

As he stood and pushed the rug forward with his foot i could see the body inside of it. It was pale- drained- but the blood red stain on the rug did not go unnoticed, even in its rolled up log.

"Lestat." I said sharply

The man turned and looked up the stairs before he saw me.

His face lit up as he smiled at me

"Good Night, my love, sorry I was intending to have had this moved by the time you awoke-" He started as if it was nothing

"Why is there a drained body in our home?" I asked

I saw the way he wavered, although he tried to hide it

"Well, it's what we drink, my love... It wasn't supposed to happen here, but we were hungry-"

He didn't get to finish his sentence before i was in front of him with my hand around his throat

"My love?" He questioned, the bastard almost looking aroused and not at all intimidated

"Tell me you did not" I spoke with a growl

He looked at me and blinked

"Fine, i will spell it out. That body, behind me" I said as i gestured to the carpet with a nod of my head "Looks sloppily drained- there is blood everywhere on the rug and i am almost certain that there are multiple bite marks as if the person draining him was inexperienced.... Next there is the fact he is in our home. You dislike draining someone in our home, you once said this space is our sanctuary not our dinner plate- which means that you lured the man here in order to make it easy for him to be killed. You did it to trap him, not because you needed to- if it was one of us we could have drained him and hid the evidence while stood in the middle of a crowd, but you were helping someone else- someone new to our life" I finished as I squeezed his neck once more, letting him know, for certain, that i was angry and not in the mood for his games "Tell me you did not turn him" I spat

He looked at me, unanswering, giving me the answer i was expecting.

I growled as i used my strength to push him away from me, he did not go far but he moved enough for the message to get across.

I stepped away for good measure as i turned my back to him.

"You turned him!" I shouted as i span back around and pointed my finger "You seduced him and turned him, didn't you?!" I growled

Lestat took fast steps towards me, his temper growing by the minute at my reaction

"He chose our life- he chose us!" He growled back at me as he tossed my pointed hand away "I did not force him!"

"He probably wasn't even in the right mind to chose to become like us! I can't believe you- you've ruined his life!" I screamed

Lestat gritted his teeth as he took a step closer to me. I quickly stepped back however he had already turned and grabbed the nearest object, a lamp, and destroyed it against the wall- directing his anger on something other than me.

I shook my head as the anger grew in me by the second

"I did it for us!" He growled as he turned back to me "The three of us can be together for centuries- it could be like it was with Nicky-" He tried to reason as he lowered his growling tone and tried to appeal to my emotions

I simply shoved him away and cursed at him

"I never knew Nicky like that!" I argue "I know Louis! I considered him a friend before you-" I started to loose my breath "You ended him- you've ruined his life! The one person I asked you to stay away from!"

"Since when did you care about him?" Lestat countered with increasing anger

"Since he had started to confide in me last night... we had started to really get along" I said as I realised it myself and my voice broke "He seemed lost- frightened- he has lost his sibling like i have lost mine-"

"Now the two of you are siblings" Lestat said, catching my attention

It's quiet for a moment

"What did you just say?" I asked in a whisper, disbelief in my words

"The two of you are now siblings- I created both of you so techniqually you share blood- you two could be good for each other, you can replace-"

I screamed as i grabbed a picture from off the wall and smashed it over him.

He stumbled back

"I didn't want another sibling! I wanted a friend and now you've taken that away from me!" I started to see red through my blood tears but also my ever growing anger

"No one can ever replace my sister- someone I lost because of you!" I growled

I breathed heavily as Lestat looked at me with fragments of glass littering his suit

"You have me! Why did you turn another?" I cried "You had me- We could have spent another happy 100 years just us, but you had to ruin that! Am i not enough, Lestat?!" I cried

I looked at him as he dropped to the floor, sliding down the wall until he sat in defeat, unsure how else to convince me that turning Louise was not for his selfish needs.

"Well?!" I continued to scream at him

He didn't answer as he continued just looking ahead, blankly

"Am i not enough for you?!" I cried once more in a lower volume

When he didn't answer again I screamed before I angrily wiped the red tears off my face

"I told you- i warned you that i would not forgive you and you still did it!" I shouted into the silence as he still sat there just looking off blankly "Why did I ever think that you could have changed? I hope you think you've chosen well... I hope you're happy now" I ended (🎶)

I couldn't stand looking at him any longer, he almost looked sorry for himself as he sat there in the mess he had created.

I opened the door and walked into the night not sure what i would come back to... unsure if i would even come back at all.

 unsure if i would even come back at all
