If you were the last vampire on earth... it would be enough. Just you and me. Me and you. YOU AND ME!
"You, my love, are beauty itself"
OR
The retailing of Lestats life told by the closest person to the man himself- the only vampire on earth who kn...
As I looked at her I recognised her- she was familiar.
"Hello" the woman said.
It was a simple word. A word of greeting but it gave nothing away. It didn't tell us if she hated us or liked us... it was just her saying hello.
"Hello" I said back, warily "I'm sorry, do I know you?" I asked
The woman's face changed then and a smile broke her previously mysterious aura
"Yes, dear, I believe we met a few weeks ago- you asked me about a family?" She started
She looked down as she started routing through her purse
"A family?" I repeated
"Yes- the Meyer family wasn't it?" She said as she looked up at us again
I gasped as a smile took over my face
The once uptight and cautious air left me and I smiled at the woman as if she was an old friend
"Yes- we met at the sensor house didn't we?" I asked
She nodded, quickly, with a smile "yes, yes that's it! I work with the records between the 1700s and 1900s. You got referred to me by my colleague"
I nodded
"Yes that's right" I said with a smile
"Well I have been keeping my word Miss and I have been keeping an eye on the Meyer family" she said "so when these new files came in I thought that I would pass them onto you in person"
I smiled at her as I nodded.
She passed me the papers she had dug out of her purse as I spoke.
I glanced at the stack and saw the Meyer family name- my families new name.
"Thank you for that- I just wanted to make sure that all was ok with them- I haven't had a chance to go over to Germany, but I was planning on taking a trip soon. They are... family in some distant way and I think-"
I cut myself off as I looked back at her from the document in my hand.
She held a solumn look on her face.
I immediately closed my mouth.
I knew that look. I had seen it many times in my life- both when I was human and not.
I had seen it when I was 13, when my parents told me they lost their third baby- that I wasn't getting another sibling like I had hoped for.
I had seen it at 24- when the family doctor sat infront of me and told me they could finally give my condition a name- that they had heard of a newly named desease in Europe... when they told me I had cancer.
I had seen it when Lestat told me we couldn't look for my family when I first turned- that I was a newly turned vampire and my bloodlust would be too strong.
I had seen the same look of empathy many times when being told news I never wanted to hear. I knew the look the woman in front of me wore like I was looking into a mirror and seeing the faces that held it before.
"Who?" I asked quickly, my tone changing
The woman tilted her head at me
"How did you know?" She asked
I let out a laugh but not in humour
"I have been told more then once that someone had died or something bad had happened... just tell it to me straight. Who died?" I asked
The woman swallowed before she straightened herself
"Unfortunately there was an accident, someone logged the deceased into the family file so I did some research and... and it seems that your family was targeted- the police said their house was valuable and maybe that was why- but ultimately they didn't find who did it, but... it was a group of people- probably religious nut jobs- that was what was reported. They left crosses all over the house and they wiped the... victims blood all over the walls- I'm sorry I will spare you the details but I wanted you to know that the family is no more" the woman finished
I stood still as I just looked at her
"No more?" I repeated "what do you mean no more?" I asked
"The Meyer family is no more- they are all gone" she said "there were no survivors"
'There were no survivors'
