When 20-year-old Charlotte de Alexandre meets a mysterious man at a party, a whole new world that she never knew existed begins to unravel in front of her very eyes and she begins to have different experiences that span for centuries.
(I love this scene. I hope you will enjoy this Rosalies)!
We arrived at a party, filled with people. I could see Lestat looking around, searching for his prey for that night. I did the same too, waiting to see if I could find some really evil men or people in general.

"The trick is not to think about it. You see that one? Widow St. Clair. She had that gorgeous young fop murder her husband." Lestat explained, gesturing to an older woman, caked in makeup with two poodles on her lap. A handsome young man was with her, though he wasn't as handsome as Lestat.
"How do you know?" Louis asked. "Read her thoughts." Lestat replied. Louis looked at him for a moment. "Read her thoughts." He repeated. I looked at Widow St. Clair closely and soon enough, I could see it. I saw in her mind just how she got the man to kill her husband. I have just gained a newfound power. I looked at Lestat in amazement and he smirked, knowing I just gained telepathic powers.
Louis was also looking. "I can't." He said after a moment. "The dark gift is different for each of us. But one thing is true for us all, we grow stronger as we go along. Just take my word for it." He explained in a quiet whisper as we made our way to her. "She blamed a slave for his murder. Imagine what they did to him. Evildoers are easier, and they taste better." Lestat put forth. I nodded in agreement. That's what I've been doing all these years.
"Au chante, monsieur." Widow St. Clair greeted Lestat, who kissed her hand. "Monsieur, au chante." She said to Louis, who also kissed her hand. I stood there awkwardly. "Madame." I muttered. She didn't look at me and instead directed her attention to Lestat and Louis. I looked at Lestat and we began to communicate telepathically.
"I'll take this gorgeous young fop. You look for any evildoers."
"Alright, chérie."
After a moment, I excused myself and began to look for any victims. I could feel eyes on me so I looked around and saw a man staring at me. Drunk no doubt. I read into his thoughts. He was indeed a creep. I walked outside and heard footsteps following me. I knew it was him who had been following me.
I looked around and I could see Lestat and Louis with their victims in close proximity to me. If I needed help, they'd be able to come. The man slowed down as I stopped. I could feel his presence behind me. "Greetings, mademoiselle. Such a pretty lady you are." He slurred, walking towards me. I turned around and pinned him to the ground. Before he could react, I was already biting down and drinking his blood.
As I finished, I was about to go inside to look for another victim when I heard screaming. It was Widow St. Clair screaming. I took a peak and saw that Louis had killed her poodles and was drinking their blood. Merde. I quickly ran over and twisted her neck, breaking it and killing her. Lestat caught up to us shortly after.
"Whining coward of a vampire that prowls the night killing rats and poodles, you could have finished the three of us!" Lestat seethed. "You've damned me to Hell!" Louis shouted. "I don't know any Hell." Lestat said through gritted teeth.
Louis angrily lunged at Lestat and grabbed him by his collar as Lestat flew to a tree. Lestat wasn't mad. He was chuckling. I sat there on my knees by Widow St. Clair's body in shock. I couldn't hear what Lestat was saying since the tree was a bit further away and they were drowned out by Louis' yells.
Again, Lestat flew to the other tree closer to me as Louis kept a firm grip on him. He was still giggling. I stood up and went to both of them to either calm the situation down or teach Louis about some things. By the time I got there, Louis had let Lestat go.
"Feed on what you will. Rats, chickens, and poodles. I'll leave you to it, and watch you come around." Lestat chuckled. I looked at Louis sympathetically, knowing it was difficult for him as a newly born vampire.
"But just remember, life without me would be even more unbearable!" Lestat called from behind him as he walked away.
He wasn't wrong. I don't even know what my life would be like without him. I don't even want to imagine it.
(Lestat and Louis do be cracking me up. This scene is great. I hope you guys enjoyed this! See you soon)!
