Lestat has always been the one to control everything. Ever since his heart darkened from constantly being abandoned by his loved ones throughout his immortal life. He lost his pure self long ago and didn't dare to dream of getting it back.
Daphne...
"Oh don't deny it, I won't bring up the body to our daughter, this is the last time she will get away with it, do I make myself clear." His voice was suddenly cold and distant as he pulled the strings. I gasp and lose my breath when he pulls them so tight. I can't even get words out to make him loosen them.
"Do I make myself clear, Sweet?" He leaned close to my ear and whispered. I nod my head a few times and feel him tie off the corset. Once again when I turn around he isn't in my room anymore.
This is absolutely ridiculous how he thinks he can barge in when he pleases. I understand but my god he needs to learn to respect people. One day I will tell him this and I don't care how mad he gets.
Just as I was about to pull on my black boots someone came and knocked on my door.
"Yes?" I spoke and watched the door open to reveal Louis wearing a nice green velvet coat. His hair resting on his right shoulder. His green eyes are bright emeralds. He looks rather handsome.
"Daphne I hope you rested well because you may have a handful with Claudia tonight." Louis laughs and came to sit next to me.
"Yes of course and I'm fully prepared." I patted him on the shoulder and got off the bed. I was close to the opened door when I see Claudia finishing putting on her pair of black boots. They match mine. The girl wants to be just like me.
Sometimes she gets angry because she can't have the same hair color as me, I would then have to explain to her that I wished I could have her golden curls. That usually calms her down before she could have a horrible tantrum and destroy everything in her path. God knows I've seen enough of those to last me all eternity.
"Mama, may we finally start on our garden tonight?" She hopped right off her bed and wrapped her arms around my waist. Her little head only reaches my elbow. Her adorable hair had been pinned to be away from her eyes. I guess that was by Louis' doing.
"Yes, we may but only if Louis can join us?" If I have to endure this then so shall the man who claims to be her father. Louis was now gaping at me with fury but not the kind of fury to want to rip my neck apart with his teeth.
"Claudia, I would be glad to help." Poor Louis is afraid to tell her no. I understand the feeling. There have been times when Claudia has asked me to do unspeakable things suck as to restrain one of her prey to a chair so that she can bleed them out with a small pocket knife.
When I had refused she rushed to Lestat and cried tears of blood. That alone startled her and me. I never knew vampires cried, let alone cry dark crimson tears. I ran to her while she clung to Lestat and apologized over and over and told her of course I will held him still for her.
That's when I realized that she had a growing talent that makes vampires and humans alike fall under her spell. Now, this was very much Lestat's doing. He has taught her all that she needs to know and more about how to hunt and kill people for the fun of it.
This pushed me to confront him about his methods and that always end us up fighting and me getting so frightened by him that I would cry. Lestat would be so ashamed that he would bring me into his arms and beg for forgiveness. His soft kisses on my face and the back of my hands alone would make my fear and anger flutter away and all would be over with.
There is something truly off with that man. Not because he happens to be a vampire but because there is something so much deeper that I can't grasp. There is an unknown issue within him that no one knows of. I didn't even know he had a father in New Orleans until Louis told me when he was explaining how he met Lestat. Let's just say that it was a strange story.
"Now run along and pick a path in the back while I and Louis gather the seeds." I gently squeeze her shoulder before she let go of me and ran as fast as she could down the hall and then out the back door. The wind she made slammed the door closed and made me flinch but with a smile on my face.
"You are good with her," Louis said as he offered for me to take his hand. I gladly took it and we walked down to the kitchen.
"Well someone had to become a mother for her and I happened to be the only one qualified for the job," I spoke while digging through the drawers. I can't seem to remember where I placed those various seeds. They were in a small burlap bag. They can't be this hard to find.
"If my so-called opinion even matters, I think you are the best mother she could have ever asked for, Sweet." And there he stands. Right next to the back door holding the bag of seeds in the palms of his outstretched hands.
"Thank you, thank you both, what would I possibly do without either of my vampires?" I placed my hand on top of Louis' shoulder and my other hand on Lestat's wrist. His eyes bore into mine before Claudia bursts through the door once again.
"Good, now let us begin!" She took ahold of Louis and pulled him along with her outside. I can feel the hot night air from where I stand. They must not feel it the way I do because now a small amount of sweat has decided to form on my exposed chest and I haven't even been outside yet.
"I think the real question is, what would we do without such a loving human like you?"
