Lay Me To Sleep

Chapter Seventeen- Planning

The last thing I could remember was fighting with Lestat. Then complete darkness, like my minds eye drew a blank. I woke up from whatever sort of experience you'd call this, on the floor. My head was pounding and my neck was quite sore. I hadn't felt like this in a long while, not since Nina punched me in the face the night we met, my upper body just felt like I had been in a fight recently. But for the life of me I couldn't think of why.

Then it hit me. Nina was still asleep, she had blood all over her neck, but upon further inspection and a taste, I knew the blood to belong to Lestat. I tried not to linger on her beautiful pale throat for too long, as the craving for her grew immensely powerful. Hard to resist, but a part of me wanted to try her like Lestat had tasted her. Lestat always said creole blood was his favorite and I was starting to enjoy it very much myself.

If my suspicions were correct, I think I fought with Lestat and he snapped my neck. Lestat must've attempted to feed more from Nina without my knowing after he "killed me". Then tried healing her with his blood. Nina would live, that was all that mattered but Lestat... He would pay heavily for putting her in danger and hurting her, that was a sure thing. I needed to find him and neutralize him immediately. Maybe lock him up in the basement for a few weeks or just until I could get Nina safely away from him. Maybe I could go with her, we could be together if she wanted. I could protect her from Lestat and I could be practically human again.
First things first, find Lestat and make him pay for harming Nina. I truly loved Nina or was starting too if I didn't before, and for Lestat to just take her life for granted and to put her at risk in such a way was unthinkable to me.

I would find him and confront him.
