"HELP HER!" He shouted as he looked up at us.

His pleading cries and scared eyes took us out of our confused state before Lestat and i rushed down the stairs and took the girl from his shaky arms, just as Louis de pointe du lac started to lose the ability to think straight due to sheer panic.

————
Lestat was the one to take the young girl out of Louis's arms.

He rushed up the stairs again until he got to our bedroom. He placed her down before he took three huge steps back from the girl.

Louis ran into the room before I did and he rushed straight over to her.

He screamed as he looked from the girl to Lestat

"Help her!" He said "You can turn her!"

As soon as the words came out of Louis's mouth I also took a step back from by the bed.

Lestat and I stood almost shoulder to shoulder as we watched Louis kneel beside the girl who was barely hanging onto life

"Why did you bring her here?" I asked

Louis looked at me

"Because you can help her!" He said

"Its against the rules- she is but a child- we cannot turn children" I argued

"She's going to die if you do not Vic!" He shouted back

At that Lestat stepped in

"She's right, you should have taken her to a hospital not brought her here" he said

"Lestat you have to turn her! You've turned people before, you have to be the one to do it!" Louis continued shouting

Before that night Louis had never expressed his desire to add another to our family.

He had stormed out the night prior however. He had shouted about leaving to fix his business and had never returned.

"She's not going to be here much longer- please Lestat you have to turn her!" He pleaded again

It had only happened a few times. Only once or twice in our lifetime, and only when in private, but Lestat turned to me as his eyes clearly pleaded me to tell him what to do.

Usually he was confident and self assured, but in these odd few moments I found myself remembering that he was only a few years older than me.

I looked from the two men, not sure what to do, not sure what to say.

Suddenly it was as if a switch turned in Lestat as he saw that I too was unsure what to do.

He turned to Louis with fury in his eyes

"You have to drain her- I can't believe that you would bring her to our house!" He shouted "I can't believe you would ask what you have of us"

Louis stood up as he moved away from the girl and he moved towards Lestat.

"Please!" He pleaded as red hot tears started to pour out of his eyes "please help her- help me please" he said

I heard the girl mutter in pain once again. I made my way around the bed as I sat next to her.

She was black, covered in ash and reminance from an obvious fire she had been pulled out of, and she looked so young.

I could hear her laboured breath and realised that she must have inhaled a lot of the smoke from the fire.

"The whites- they set alight her house- it was my fault! I demanded my business back- it's all my fault" Louis cried

"I turn her and then she will be what? A lap dog?!" Lestat shouted back
