THE LAST VAMPIRE | Lestat | Interview with the Vampire

The Blood Bags in the Fridge

"Lestat?"

"Lestat?!"

"My love where are you- ah there you are"

I walk over to him as he sits on the couch clutching his keyboard.

Rachel walks up the stairs as she goes to place my families photo album back in its original place.

He stares into space as he stares at nothing in particular. He holds a distant look on his face as his instrument sits close to his chest.

"My love?" I ask as the rain slaps the roof

I sit beside him as he continues just looking ahead

"How was the interview?" He asks

I waver, remembering Molloys last words to me before he left my Paris apartment.

"Its whether you accept it or push it down now- that's the question"

"It was eventful..." I admit "It was... hard. Speaking of her again and the way she left the world believing that I hated her for her accusations-"

I cut myself off as I felt his hand rest on my thigh

"Do you ever think of her?" He asks after a minute and turns his head to face mine "Do you ever picture her face right before they..."

"Everyday" I say honestly to stop him stuttering over his words.

It quiet for a moment before I look at the wooden keyboard in his hands

"Have you been practicing all day?" I ask

He looks down at his lap, as if forgetting he was even clutching the object.

"Yes, I need to practice before I leave for tour. I have been trying to distract myself- for the past week you have been staying in the apartment I have been lost." He admits

I smile sadly as he grips my hand in his. We had only been in different locations in Paris for the week. After we cut ties with the Paris coven (helped by Santiago hating us for Claudia making the audience dislike him), after the trail, Lestat wanted to move into Magnus's home- his makers home. Magnus was long gone and his home sat empty with all the memories of Lestats past. Lestat owned this house, Magnus's house, that we sit in now and I owned the apartments... we are very sentimental people.

"I do not know how we spent two years away from each other back in 2010" He continues

"We were grieving- are grieving" I say as I swallow "it's what our kind is like- we think we know everything because we have seen so much, but we need another to understand our loneliness" I say as I bring his hand to my lips and kiss the back of it "I used to dislike Madeleine as I knew she was created to replace me. However now I hope that she never experienced that vampiric loneliness as she had Claudia all her short vampiric life time. She was Claudia's medicine to that loneliness as well... now we are each others, every vampire needs another just like how Louis has Armand even if it is false and he does not know it-"

"-We swore not to try to explain it to him- the way it was us that saved him from being killed alongside Claudia... it took so much strength to control the minds of the audience in order to vote banishment and not death like they did to her.... He should be allowed some peace in his life even if false" Lestat speaks quietly

I nod as he moves the board off his lap and onto the floor.

"Come, it is almost morning- we should rest in our coffin-"

"Actually... I have something I wanted to confess" I say "I had pushed it out of my mind, tried to kid myself that I did not do it, but alas I know I did and Molloy brought up the dishonesty between us again..." I say
