Lestat Interview With The Vampire Novels & Stories

"Well? Don't keep me in suspense, what is it?" Elizabeth asked with furrowed brows, grabbing my arm and leading me toward our first lecture for the day. As we walked through the hallway, we got a few curious stares which I tried hard to ignore. Gosh, when would people learn to mind their business? Anyway, I let Elizabeth in on the plan. "Well, Sylvain is a vampire with super hearing, probably beyond the limits of even a werewolf. So, I was thinking, maybe we should talk about sketchy things like the Demon and see if he'd try listening in."

I looked at Joseph, surprised, and I could see the seriousness of his expression as he stared at her. I saw Ruby’s face fall even more and now she was biting on her lower lip. “Ruby?” I asked, staring back at her. “What is it? What did you see?” She lifted her gaze to meet mine. “I had a vision this evening,” she told me, her voice trembling slightly. “I’m not really sure how to tell you and I’m so sorry, Tessa…” “What is it?” I asked again, suddenly extremely nervous. She took a deep breath before answering. “Penny is a vampire…”

The bell above the door suddenly rang. A customer had entered. Or so she thought. The moment Elara looked up, her entire body stiffened. Three men dressed in black stood inside the shop. She recognized them immediately. The vampires. The same ones who had visited years ago. Their leader smiled politely. "Good afternoon." Elara didn't return the smile. "What do you want?" The vampire's expression remained calm. "Such hostility." "Answer the question." The man's eyes gleamed with amusement. "You've grown."

It was spacious, big enough to accommodate the six of us as we had a little chat. “Gina, you’re always too kind.” Orville settled down on the bed to the left and crossed his legs. “Dante, Simeon, Ellemea, these are Doctor Gina Alejandro and Cesar Revere, the best pack doctors we have,” he said proudly. “Vampires,” Cesar said without a visible expression on his face. “We haven’t seen one in a long time.” He was tall with mocha skin and a full beard. His hair was plaited to the back, a style I knew was common among members of the African Kingdom. He wasn’t North American and was most likely a citizen of Luca’s kingdom. Cesar was dressed in a plain T-shirt and jeans, nothing too fancy.

"The mortals are being eaten alive like they are a meal." "But is that not what they are?" I watch as the Vampire Hunter starts to shift uncomfortably at Lestat's words, making him pull that dagger even closer to reach. I only but look at him and shake my head; he cocks his head and whispers to me, "What?" "Play nice," I speak under my breath, well that is just pointless for Lestat, and my beloved can hear me as clear as the light of day. Shifting my focus back to Lestat's observation, there are only one species that come to mind, "Wolf?"

That is the advantage of his Obfuscate abilities. The sun has already set by the time we reach the inn. Orpheus was right when he said that there are so many vampires in here. I think there are only Vampires here. I can't even pick out a human being. How can I help you gentlemen?" a busty grey haired female on the receiption asks us with an amused smile on her face that gets me wondering what is amusing on us. "We are looking for someone. His name is Lazarus. He is a vampire," Orpheus tells her.

This vampire had her hostage. The man shuffled his foot. “This is the part where you introduce yourself as well.” His Romanian accent excites her to her core, but she quickly shakes her head. “I’m nobody.” She replied and he gave her a smirked look. “You aren’t though.” He eyed her softly before locking gaze with each other. For a moment, both of their hearts picked up in pace but the man quickly stepped back and averted his attention. “You’re some kind of demon.” He hissed.

"Jesse, what's been bothering you? I can see it in your eyes. Please, tell us." Jesse sighed, his gaze fixed on the dancing flames. "There are things you all need to know," he began, his voice heavy with emotion. "Secrets that have haunted me for centuries." We leaned in, our curiosity piqued. Jesse took a deep breath, steeling himself for the revelations that were about to come. "I am not just a vampire," he confessed. "I am a descendant of an ancient bloodline, one that holds immense power and a dark legacy." Gasps filled the air as we absorbed his words.

“She and Raif told The Outsiders that my son’s blood was the cure for vampirism! And you want me to calm down?” “Yes.” Drake glared at me. Then his head snapped up toward her. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, stalking Lance and his family like that?” She shrugged, slinking toward me, and stopped, folding her arms over her chest. “I wanted to see the woman who stole your heart.” She scoffed. “Color me surprised when I found out she was human.” Selestra took a deep breath while circling me and then ran her finger along my shoulder and down my arm. “But last night, I saw that she’s a vampire now. At least she’s on equal footing with me now.”

I wanted to see that place. It was just two hours into day break, everyone had gone to sleep. I hurried into the kitchen and drank a whole bottle of a special liquid Edmund and Hillary introduced to us. It was called vamscren and it allowed vampires to walk in the sun for a while without being affected by it. Somehow, vamscren made me feel a bit better about becoming a vampire as I didn’t have to always be limited by the sun. The vamscren was made from dragon tears and Edmund and Hillary, along with Dana, arranged with the manufacturers to always supply it to the castle, so we never ran out. After drinking, I got my cloak and flew out of the castle, to see my former town.
