The Last Vampire on Earth ?? | OC x Lestat | Interview with the Vampire

Thank you for 16k- I can't believe how many of you are enjoying my book I appreciate it!!!

—————————————

Tearing my gaze away from the window I spoke

"Tell me, my love, do you enjoy our travels?" I asked as I lulled my head to the side.

We had stayed in our New Orleans home for a few months after Lestats attempted murder- he needed to recover and I had decided to try to pack the few items that held value to us.

Now we sat on a train rolling through fields as we made our way to Paris.

Lestat looked up from a book he was writing in and gave me a little smile

"je voyagerais n'importe où tant que tu es à mes côtés" he muttered as he lazily reached his hand over and touched my chin, giving it a loving touch

(I would travel anywhere as long as you're by my side)

I wanted to mutter something back, but instead I settled for a small smile.

I wasn't feeing myself- I didn't know why- but I felt conflicted about everything that had happened.

Lestat, seeing the hesitancy in my eyes- or maybe he did not I am unsure- let go of my chin and gave me a small smile before standing

I looked up at him as he stood tall above my sitting form

"I'm going to find myself a drink- do you care to join me?" He asked as he extended his hand and fixed his suit jacket

I gave him a small smile before I shook my head

"I am alright my love, but go enjoy your meal- you need all the strength you can get" I said

Lestat took a moment to smile at me for caring about him before he lent down and captured my lips in his.

For some reason it felt different- I didn't want it to end, I needed it to keep going forever. Yet Lestat pulled away too soon and I found myself moving forward to capture his lips with mine once more.

Lestat allowed us a second kiss before he smiled and pulled away.

"ne t'inquiète pas mon amour, je reviens bientôt" he spoke before he exited the train carriage

(Don't worry my love I will be back shortly)

I watched him go as I sat back and touched my lips that were pressed against his only moments before.

I sighed as I sat back in the seat and looked out of the trains window. The scenery flew past the vehicle as I rested my head on the glass.

I was not sure what was making me feel  unusually uncertain around Lestat.

I guessed it was because of my part in his death. I don't remember it clearly, I don't know why I did it- why I stabbed him- or how it happened, but when i saw his eyes go still as he lay dying in my arms I couldn't help but feel a little bit-

"les passagers du wagon suivant sont tous pleins de drogue - ils ont un goût horrible" Lestat complained suddenly as he opened the door to our seats

I jumped a little as the door opened unexpectedly

(The passengers in the next carriage are all full of drugs- they taste awful)

I sat up a little in my seat before I smiled at him and nodded.

"It's the 1950s my love, drugs are used to help people forget the wars going on" I spoke with a shake of my head "yet it means their blood tastes truly awful" I confirmed

Lestat sighed as he came and sat next to me once more.

He looked at me before he shrugged his arm over my shoulder.

"Let's get married" he said out of nowhere as he lounged

My head snapped to him- not expecting the idea that came seemingly out of nowhere.

"Marriage?" I repeated "now?"

"Yes, let's get married when we get to France- you would prefer to get married in your birth place, right?" He asked me.

I looked at him, just blinking before I smiled "yes, my love, but what about you- don't you want to get married elsewhere, because of Nicky's memory" I said

Lestat closed his eyes at the name for merely seconds before he opened them and stared straight at me

"You are the only thing in this world which someone could hold against me- Louis and Claudia- they used to mean something to me in the tiniest form imaginable; but now they are gone and I do not disapprove of you sending them away- but because it's just you that I love... I want to show the whole world, I want you to carry my last name forever" he said

Forever

The word, for some reason, repeated itself inside my head- I used to long to be attached to Lestat forever, but did I want that now?

I took a moment, one that didn't go unnoticed by Lestat, before I smiled at him

"Of course I will marry you in France" I said

His face lit up as our lips crashed together

As our lips met I realised something I would never forget. I wasn't afraid of Lestat- I wasn't afraid of being tied to him for my whole life- in fact it's what I lived for. The only reason I had ever doubted us was because of Louis and Claudia, before they came into our life I was happy... and now that they were gone I could be happy again, right?
