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...
I glance to my right as I make eye contact with Daniel.
We had moved location and were now walking through the local park.
It was night and I had insisted it.
Daniel agreed under the conditions that we were not out for long and that he could take his portable mic with him.
I had agreed... I needed him to see something.
"I'm surprised you of all people do not know the answer to that question Molloy" I say "Haven't you been spending the past months surrounded by my kind?"
Molloy chuckles
"That I have, however I've been given different answers from Louis- he never told me straight- can an immortal meet mortality and even true death?" Molloy asks once more
I waver before I answer
"Yes." I say "I was not all too aware of how one of my kind could meet their demise back then, but I knew we could" i admit
"Lestat was a.... Cautious man. He never truely settled anywhere- I like to think he was settled with me, but I will never know the absolute truth- and due to his fear of being alone, he never explained to me all the ways we could die." I sigh as we continue walking down the path "He didn't want to imagine my death- he did not want me to worry about him ever leaving me..."
I look to the side as I remember Lestat in the old days
"I knew we could die through the sun, I knew we could die through the stake and I knew that non of it mattered as long as Lestat was by my side"
I look back at Molloy with a sad smile.
"To love someone so beautifully that your only worry is them... that was us... that is us" I smile as the words exit
It's quiet for a second, the only sound being the night animals who cling to trees or scurry into bushes.
It was quiet for awhile until Molloy spoke again
"Sometimes I find myself feeling sorry for you" he says suddenly
My head snaps to his as I let out a dry laugh
"And why would that be?" I ask with a smile, not believing him
"You've been conditioned to forget... since our session talking about your fight with Lestat you haven't mentioned his flaws once" Daniel said "It's like you have been trying to push them away- like you feel that you have exposed to much of his dark side and you are trying to take the words back... tell me, Victoria, why haven't you mentioned the woman Lestat took while you grieved your family?"
I stop.
My feet don't allow me to walk even another tiny step forward.
"Don't... don't bring up pieces of my life that I do not want to discuss yet" I seeth "you say you feel sorry for me yet you delight in me reliving my past grievances... The woman you speak of was nothing to me, ment nothing to me, because I didn't know of her"
I start walking once more- Molloy walks to next to me in silence
"I had spent the month before almost entirely in silence. I hadn't spoken to anyone, I hadn't so much as glanced at Lestat... it was my fault he was driven to be with another woman" I spoke quietly as I crossed my arms
"It's no secret, Victoria- I don't like you very much and you are only speaking to me for the same reason I am speaking to you- to complete this interview- and I have no doubt that after this is all over we will go our separate ways and might not see each other ever again... but even I can tell you it was not your fault Lestat took up a mistress"
I flinch away at the word, as if it burnt me even to hear it.
"Lestat was cruel- he only thought of himself- you can admit that to me and I will not judge you for it" Daniel edges
He even went as far as to place a hand on my arm... that was the move which sold him out.
Suddenly the man beside me wasn't trying to comfort me, he revealed himself as trying to get me to break.
I look down at his hand on my arm in disgust
"You want me to admit that I loathed him, you want me to curse him out and spit on his name... but I won't" I say "Lestat had his flaws, like any other man, but so did i... and arguable what I did was worse then any mistress he could have taken, it was worse then any promise he could have broken... I committed the worst sin of all" I swallow as I step away from Molloy
"You can say it, Victoria- it might bring you some peace" Daniel said, emotionlessly and matter of factly, from the side of me
"I...
I killed him..."
"Say it, Victoria: you killed who?" Molloy pushes
I glare at him, knowing his game, but feeling just enough emotional exhaustion to continue playing as the part he wanted me to stand as
Yet I wavered for a second... just a second.
I had never said it out loud before... but tonight I was going to

"I killed him... I killed Lestat De Lioncourt."
