13 Griffin Way, Sunday Night

The taste of the priest's blood still sang in Louis' mouth as he ran back to the home whose keys had been among the belongings in the apartment where he woke up with that same priest the morning before.

He was the most vile of all sinners, and he knew it, damned even among those doomed to walk as vampires. The fact he knew Lestat would take pride in what he'd done made it sting even more.

He wondered, dimly, where Lestat and Claudia had gotten to; he hadn't seen them since the tavern the night before. With that thought on his mind, he started exploring the house, searching for signs of any residents living, dead, or otherwise.

The agongy was over, and Claudia would not dwell on that particular unpleasantness. The vampire woman was beautiful and she was her mother for all eternity, to live with her as she was made to do.

"Maman," she murmured, tentatively, but with increasing fascination as she stepped forward, towards her. "Maman, you are mine as my fathers gave you to me."

"Maman?" Eliza asked, kneeling before the beautiful child. She looked as a porcelain doll. She reached up to carefully brush a single blonde curl away from the girl's face. "Have you no mother, little one?"

How heartbreaking, to be an eternal child with no mother's comforting embrace.

She shook her head, her little blonde curls shiny and brilliant. "You were made for me, to be my maman now. You are my love and I will cherish you always," she said, her voice small, gentle.

Tilting her head slightly, she reached up to cup her new maman's cheek. "Love me, maman, love me forever."

Eliza's heart was breaking; the child was so desperately in need of a mother. She reached out, pulling the girl into a tight embrace.

"I shall, little one," she said, sniffling against those golden curls. "I shall be your maman. For always."

If she were doomed (and damned) to haunt the edges of night. then she would at least keep this child safe. Loved. Protected.
