Just like any other night in the last 10 years, I sat in my penthouse with my many servants and closest Companion, Armand.
I don't go out much anymore. Too risky. And with all these new vampire books and movies, people are actually wanting to be turned. They'd spot me like a needle in a haystack.
Growing bored I decided to read. Like opening old wounds, I chose to finally open Daniel's newly published book about my life.
Retelling it was one thing. But having it materialized in my hands was....
A feeling.
I was interrupted by the sound of glass breaking in the dining room down the hall.
"Ahh-" I hear one of my human servants scream.
Here we go...
Armond begins to get up to handle it when I push him back to his seat.
"I got it" I said.
Just then, as if I was light as a feather, I was flipped on my ass.
"You stupid muthafucka" the velvety feminine voice said.
The voice that could bring me to my knees in any lifetime.
The voice that left me out in the cold like I left Lestat in that landfill.
The voice that broke my heart.
She was back for me.
I look up and there she is. Not a day over 23.
"Bey.." I said amazed.
"The fuck you smilin fa?" She spat.
"Damn woman it's been 52 years! I can't say I'm not happy to see you-" I was cut off by Daniel's book being launched at my head.
Armand and Tetris began to hold her back as she continued to yell obscenities at me.
"Okay, okay! What's the matta'?" I said my accent coming through due to me feeling nostalgic.
"What's the matta' ?" She said mocking me as she removed their hands from her a took a seat.
"That fuckin book. You got all eyes on me right now tellin them bout how a certain Beyincè killed a man in cold blood" she shouted.
"That is not what he said" Armand said softly.
She shot him a glare.
"I know I slipped a little but there's no way they'll prove it, I gave barely any details and if they do dig too deep I'll just; tell em I knew your great-great grandmother. " I said shruggingly.
But she wasn't satisfied.
"They want the archives Louis. That means the diaries. Logs, census records, birth certificates, death certificates." She said.
"I will handle it girl." I said.
"You better. Cause I did that shit for you. I did everything for you." She said looking me in my eyes.
I began to feel guilt. She dealt with so much of my shit back then, and when she left I hated her as if she didn't deserve her freedom from me.
I sat down infront of her , grabbing her hands.
"I'm just....to be honest, I'm glad I did it. How long did it take you to find me? I tried to get in contact for years but they were all dead ends." I said smiling at her.
But I wasn't met with the same enthusiasm.
"I know about your attempts. And It was a straight shot." She said nonchalantly.
I had to think about it but then it hit me.
"You didn't look for me did you?" I asked.
She dryly laughed.
"Didnt. Have. To." She said not even blinking, snatching her hands away.
N just like that. All the rage, flooded.
"So....THIS WHOLE TIME, YOU KNEW WHERE I WAS AN YOU? You knew how.....empty I felt without you and you move on ?"
"Oh don't flip this on me. Not after everything. Not after Claudia." She brought her up.
The nerve. She abandoned her just like she did me.
"Oh you don't get to bring up the kid you became of mother figure towards just to up and leave!" I shouted.
"You did that Louis. You. You had me runnin for you. You let the devil in our bed. You let him turn a lil girl-" she started
"Bey You know I wasn't in my right sta-" she cut me off.
"You let him manipulate us, compromise us." She said lowly
"You let em beat me. You let him turn me."
"Bey...please." I pleaded for her to stop. I just wanted her back. But I knew she was deeply still disturbed by what I let happen to her.
"You let em turn me into whatever the fuck this is and you knew I didn't want it. You're selfish Louis!" She teared up.
She looked up at me once more. I was now also crying.
"I left because I knew that if I didn't leave when I did. I woulda been in somebody's landfill in a box too." She said before stepping into the darkness of the balcony.
"And the worse part is, I stayed away because I still love you. My first everything. If I took your calls, payed attention to your late night whispers, I'd be right back in your bed." She said then disappeared into the night.
