(Lestat p.o.v)
It was the year 1990, a year in which rock music continued to rise in popularity. More genres of rock music presented themselves in this era, such genres included alternative rock, metal, hard rock, classic rock, and other genres. What a fascinating year it was for music, and of course rap and pop music started to rise in popularity as well. Some artists I found to be quite interesting, yes I do love rock music very much but one artist outside of the genre captured my attention, and that was Aaliyah. What an excellent singer she was! I would listen to her music to help calm me down or just to relax. I was lucky enough to meet her at one of her concerts in Los Angeles, she was a lovely young woman and I was thrilled to hear that she loved my music as well. Ah! she was very kind. I adore that woman. But, I could go on forever can I.
As for my band, well, we certainly grew in popularity. Our albums continued to sell millions of copies worldwide, played in music stores every day, and what I loved the most was when my fans covered my songs. Oh how wonderful they were! It always warmed my cold heart to see them sing my songs. That was another thing I loved about being a musician. To my surprise my band was the second biggest hit next to another rock band called Nirvana. I do adore their music of course but what I didn't understand was why they seemed to be better than I was. Perhaps some people were more interested in alternative rock than my genre of music which was heavy metal. I wanted to see this band for myself, just to see how better they were than I was.
To my luck they were performing a concert right here in Los Angeles, I bought tickets for myself and my bandmates, it was time to see who our rival was. And that day came quickly. My band and I sat in the front row where we could best see them. Yes, we did get noticed by our own fans. I can't say no to them, I love them dearly. Every now and then we stopped to say hello to them and sign a few things for them. Even take pictures with them, which I really loved to do.
The concert began later that evening, the band started their set with a song called "Smells like teen spirit" one of there most popular hits. and as they continued their set I began to realize why they became number one on the charts. The concert lasted for about an hour and a half, it was a great set I had to admit. Before I could leave with my band the lead singer recognized me, the legendary Kurt Colbain. "Well if it isn't the vampire Lestat!" he said jumping off the stage to greet me. He shook my hand. "You performed greatly Mr.Colbain, I must say I am quite impressed." I said. he smiled at me. "Ah thanks man! and I gotta admit I do love your music as well." he said. "Ah why thank you, I appreciate it." I said. He was very kind, I could sense he was a good man. I read his mind just to see if I was right, and I was. "Oh and....I know my band is number one right now. I love it of course but..... I don't have to be number one to be a great musician. I don't know how that happened.... but what I can tell you is that as long as you got fans who support you no matter what for what you do its all good." he said. I smiled. I felt better once he had said those words. He was right, you don't have to be number one on the charts. "I could not have said it better myself." I said.
Suddenly I heard a voice call out to him, "Hey Kurt! mind if I steal your amp? Mine fucking snapped again." said the voice. which was a womans voice if I wasn't mistaken. "Yeah Jes, take it. I got tons of amps anyway." he said to her. "Thanks bro!" she said taking the amp. But before she could run off with it she saw me. Noticing that her brother was talking to me. "Oh my god! if it isn't the vampire prince himself!" she said. I chuckled and blushed slightly. I loved that! No one had ever called me the vampire prince before. She came over to greet me. "Lestat this is my sister Jesse, and Jesse....(Laughs) Well you already know who this is." he laughed. I did not know he had a sister, and might I add that she was quite beautiful. "Nice to meet you Lestat." she said, extending a hand for me to shake. I took her hand and kissed it. She blushed. "What a gentleman." she said. I winked at her and made her blush even more. "Well I'm gonna head backstage. I'll see ya'll later. great to see you Lestat." he said. I nodded and he walked off.
I spent some time with miss Jesse, who was very kind. I had just met this woman and I already adored her. But then something happened that I did not expect. A man hidden in the back of the arena aimed a gun at Kurt as he was leaving the stage. I caught sight of him, "what's wrong Lestat?" asked Jesse. She turned to see what I was looking at. I yelled for her and Kurt to get down as the man started firing shots. The bullet flew right towards Kurt, I was about to take the shot when Jesse jumped in front of me and took the shot to her gut. "NO!!!" yelled Kurt. I growled and used my preternatural speed to reach the man, I sank my teeth into his neck before he could try to shoot me. I quickly wiped the blood off my face and ran back to Jesse. Kurt was holding her in his arms. He was in tears. "Kurt, tell the others what happened. I will look after your sister." I said. He nodded and ran off.
I felt her pulse, she was running out of time. So I did something that I never thought I'd have to do. I gave Jesse the dark gift, giving her my vampiric blood and bringing her back to life. Soon enough her eyes snapped open and he gasped while sitting up. I caught her. "It's alright Jesse, I'm here." I said. She sighed in relief and embraced me. I held her in my arms, she was now a vampire. "You saved my life Lestat." she said pulling away. I sighed. "I know, but I made you into the creature that I am. What will your brother think when he sees you like this?" I asked. "Hey, don't worry about my brother. I can deal with him." she said. "are you sure?" I asked. she nodded. "Trust me, I can. besides he will have to deal with it like he does with everything that I do or whatever happens to me." she chuckled. I laughed a bit. "I really owe you Lestat." she said. I chuckled. "No, you don't have to." I said. She smirked. "Nonsense, you deserve something for saving my life." she said. "And what would that be?" I asked. "This" she said and kissed me on the cheek. I was surprised at first but then I pulled her in for a kiss, kissing her passionately. I pulled away. "I should not have done.." I was cut off by another kiss. Which I gladly accepted. "Don't worry about it, and I know you have a crush on me." she said. God she had read my mind! I liked that. I smirked at her and she blushed. "I know we just met Lestat, but who doesn't believe in love at first sight. And part of me thinks that were meant to be together. with that being said. Will you be my boyfriend?" she asked.
"Yes, and will you be my girlfriend?" I asked. she laughed. "Is that even a question, of course I will!" she laughed. Our lips met in another kiss. "Now come on, let's get out of here." she said. I gladly took her hand and left with her. I had just met her but I knew I would love this woman for all eternity.
