"When I interviewed Louis, he mentioned that Lestat was kept in a tower, but you said an Attic."

Millie nods. "It started with the Attic, over time as Lestat was growing accustomed to being a vampire, my father kept him in the towers"

Molloy writes the new information down in his journal. He looks back up at Millie.

"Did" Molloy stops before thinking. "Louis mentioned that he learned that Lestat was sexually abused by Magnus, did you ever find this to be true?"

Millie looks down at the wooden floors, she plays with her fingers.

Millie awakens in her bed. She notices she forgot to blow out the candles. She stands up, going around to blow out the candles when she hears the rough sounds of something hitting against the floor. It's coming from the attic.

Millie's heart races, running to the attic where she believes something is wrong with Lestat. She gets in the attic. Her eyes widen at the sight in front of her.

Her father, leaning against a bed. Pale legs of another being loosely wrapped around his waist. The wrist of the person is tied to the other edge of the bed. The person seems to be unconscious.

Quickly she recognizes the blonde hair, Lestat.

Her breath itches in her throat begging to be released. Magnus notices the change in atmosphere, someone being there who isn't supposed to. Magnus turns to the person.

———— Incoming Assualt————

Millie knows it's a losing battle to try and fight her father. But she will for the man she loves. Without thinking she runs at her father, jumping on him and slamming her fist down on his back, tears power down her face. Her knuckles turning red.

Magnus pulls out of Lestat, reaches his hand onto the back of Millie and throws her to the floor.

Millie, now laying on the floor, her head spinning, her knuckles bleeding. Magnus, looks down at her, Scoffs, puts his clothes on and leaves the attic.

Millie lifts her head the best she could. She stares at the body of unconscious Lestat. She crawls to the edge of the bed, lifts herself to her feet, walks around to the side of the bed. She sits on the bed, her hands pressed on Lestat's chest. "Les" she says tearfully.

"So your father sexually assaulted Lestat. How many times did this continue?"

Millie hesitates. "I've lost count. But between the years 1790 and 1793."

Molloy makes note. "How did the assaults stop"

Lestat lays on the new bed, in his new home in the towers. Millie sits beside him. Lestat caresses her back. "I'm going to kill him" he says blankly.

He hears Millie hold her breath. "You can't" she speaks. Her eyes become soaked with tears. Lestat clinches his jaw.

"After everything he's done you're going to protect him!?" He speaks.

Millie looks at Lestat. "It's not for him. It's for you. He's stronger. He'll kill you." Lestat calms a bit. He caresses Millie's face. "I will not take this abuse any longer, even if it kills me."

"Did Lestat kill him?"

"Yes. Lestat had bribed him with a prostitute. Lestat watched as Magnus was beginning to enage with her. He then opened the curtains. Magnus burned in that bed."

"That Easily?"

"No. It took several years to plan. Which is why the abuse finally stopped in '93."

Molloy nods, takes the last sip of his whiskey. "Shit." He pours himself more whiskey from the bottle on the coffee table. He takes another sip. "Did Magnus, did he ever assault you, sexually?"

"He would hit me. But no, just the ones in the attic, then the towers, and Lestat."

"Magnus never made a jester or a move to give you any suspicion that he may one day?"

"No, but he enjoyed punishing me by using Lestat."
