Name: Victoria Lynn Swann
Vampire or Human: Human
Age: 25
Biography: Victoria lived the average life that any young girl lives, except for a small descretion. She was too smart for her own good. Along with growing up knowledgable, she was also quite creative with a very vivid imagination. As a teenager, she could entertain herself for hours putting on plays, or even writing her own plays, as well as novels. When her parents died of the plague, they left her their inheritance money, along with a place to call her own. Now, living alone, she's trying to find what wants do with her life. Or rather, she's trying to find her calling. She's very unsure about what she should next or where she should go from here. Sometimes, she just wants to travel the world, but she doesn't want to do it alone.

Vampire or Human: Human
Age: Nineteen.
Biography: I have always had this thing about standing out in a crowd. Whenever I could, I would dye my hair crazy colors, and just start walking around town. It's very fun to see the reactions of others as you run around with random things in your hair, and patterns on your face. I guess you could say that I'm still in that rebellious phase. Whatevs. I don't give a damn what you, or anybody else thinks. My parents' don't pay attention to me anymore, and I'm glad. Have a nice life. See you next year... I roll my eyes at you! HAH!! Oh. I also dubbed myself slightly crazy.

Lestat describes himself as a six foot tall man. He has thick blond hair, not quite shoulder length, and that is slightly curly, which appears white under fluorescent light. His eyes are gray, but they absorb the colors of blue or violet easily from surfaces around them. He has a short narrow nose, and a mouth that is well shaped but just a little too big for his face. His mouth can look very mean, or extremely generous. But it always looks sensual. He has a continuously animated face. Lestat's fingernails look like glass. When starved of blood, he states he looks like a "perfect horror": with shrunken skin, veins like ropes over his bones.

Throughout his long life, Lestat is plagued by common philosophical questions, such as "Are my actions good or bad?", "Is there a God?", "Am I in His plan?", "What happens after death?", and "What makes a person happy?" He finds himself more in love with humanity than ever before, despite his relationship with mankind being savage. For a while, he saw life as "the Savage Garden," filled with beauty and death

It was simple really. That Lestat had made up in his mind and he was positive of just that. And what was claimed to be in such simplicity? This damned situation Louis had got him into. It wasn't difficult to fool him, was it? Lestat was sure of that-he knew Louis had his weak spots while Lestat had been utterly convinced he, himself had none.

There she lay. The small, doll-like girl that had obviously droven Louis into a fit guilt and depression after feasting off her. Why couldn't he see that they were all just apart of the circle of life? How could he deny the fact that every single, solitary human could behave just as horribly as any vampire could? Lestat felt sickened that Louis even had got him to question himself sometimes. Perhaps, what they were was agaisnt nature or "God's Way". Perhaps, they weren't suppose to be this way-it was some flaw in the system of life.

But what's the use in crying over every single little mistake.

"Always whining, Louis." Lestat mummbled in the bitter french accent he gave forth, though he was obviously speaking to no one. His eyes snapped back to the girl for a moment. How filthy she looked, dirt covering her hands and face-a raggedy dress laying agaisnt her skin. He knew something must had happened to the poor child beforehand, but honestly he saw that as no concern of his any longer.

Her skin was most likely very pale under the filthy dirt that lay apon it. Locks of golden brunette waves lay caressing her beck and face in such a lovely manner. How small....so very and small and doll-like she was. He tilted his head like a confussed puppy, a plot finally evolving in his mind-slowly but surely.

Lestat rose to his feet, setting his composure in a calm like manner and forcing his voice into a serene and empathetic tone aswell. Louis wouldn't see through his diguise-it was far to clever. This is what he had to do to make him stay? Honestly, he scolded himself for even putting out this much effort but knew he did it without regret. He stepped into the other room, a candle in hand and tapped Louis on the shoulder. "I have to show you something."





{Sorry, It's not very good, Johanna. I know it's nto exactly how everything happened but I didn't tihnk you'd mind the changes....hopefully.}

Claudia was just a five year old girl, no known philosophy, and still truly just a baby. Just a couple days before she had been in her own home, trying to wake her mom from her deep sleep, little did she know her mother was dead from the disease sweeping through that area. She was crying when she heard a noise in her home, seeing a young man who was watching her. "Please Monsieur, Mamma won't wake up. Please help me," She had whispered, and hugged the young man. After that, she didn't really remember much. She just felt a pain, and then everything had gone black.

She had a poor family, Claudia did. They didn't have very much money, so she always wore torn clothes, or mainly an old nightgown, and she was always so dirty, not having anywhere to bathe. She had honey blonde hair, that fell in curls down her back and on her shoulders. She had bright blue eyes, and a kind heart. Or so for now she did.

But for now, she was asleep. Sick. Her dreams were dull, blurry. It was just that night she saw the strange man in her house, and that shocking pain that flew through her body like a disease. She had never gotten into other's business, or talked to strangers. Her mother always told her it was wrong. Until that one night, her mamma wouldn't wake up, and she was desperate for help, and the one hope for that help did nothing.
{It's fine, it's really good. =D I like the changes and it was a fine setting. And I'm sorry it's so short... It's hard to write for somebody who's out and asleep....}

Victoria Swann would describe herself as hard-headed, talkative, and creative. But, physically, she wasn't that strong. She was lean and tall, with just the right curves accented upon her simple figure. With long legs, it was rare to have such hips, but she had a beautiful hour-shaped figure that made her long legs look even better. Her lips were full and plump. Most would say they looked too big, but she loved her lips. Her lips were usually just nude without any lipstick though because lipstick made her lips even bigger than they were. Her face was a round shape that worked nicely with a set of blonde bangs. Her hair was down to he breasts and the hair was straightened.

Her face was set with a nice pair of icy blue eyes, the color of a calming sea after a storm. Her lithe footsteps were quiet and almost unheard down the cobble stone sidewalks. Victoria's black heels were clicking on the cobble stone sidewalks, but other than that, her form was silent. She was clad in a nice black dress that any local woman would wear. Victoria's black dress treaded the ground and her fan was put up in her black purse that was tied around her wrist. It wasn't a real purse, but it was one of those nice clutches.

The night was so calmingly eerie as she walked that even goosebumps appeared upon her arms and neck. The dress treaded the ground in a very dainty manor while she watched a few remaining people calling for carriages and women stumbling out of dance parlors. Her eyes locked upon the front window of a dance parlor and watched as a few women so shamelessly danced around in skimpy bustiers and garders while the men chanted and tried to touch their thighs. Her eyes looked quite disgusted at the sight of such pigs in the parlor and she quietly scoffed as one man that had come out extended his hand to her in greeting. She shook her head, particularly annoyed, and continued on the cobble stone streets alone.

The night was still so young and her sapphire blue orbs stared up at the rather large moon that had protruded from the sky. It was such a beautiful thing, the moon. Night was her favorite part of the day. A smile touched her graceful features while walking along the sidwalks. She was living alone for now, and had yet to find herself a boyfriend, much less a decent man to possibly wed. Many of the men in these parts weren't as dainty and classy, nor as charming, as they seemed to be when she first got here. At first glance, it was streaming with men, but the more she looked, the more she saw just how crude the men were. Well, at least the ones she had met.

At twenty-five, she was still so fresh that most men would gawk at her as she walked by, and most threw themselves at her, but she ignored them. Before her mother had passed, she'd set Victoria up on dates, but she always came home early and her mother just couldn't understand why. Both her parents had thought something wrong with her, but Victoria just wanted to wait..wait for that perfect person. A smile tinged her lips as she saw a young boy following his mind hand in hand while chattering away by something he saw yesterday. The boy looked at Victoria with wide hazel eyes and smiled. His cheeks were stained red and she gave the mother and the boy a smile before continuing on her way.

Louis de Pointe du Lac...


The child had been so small, so helpless and trusting. Alone, frightened, slowly succumbing to the plague that killed her mother; no wonder she had clung to the beautiful stranger for protecton and comfort, placing her life in his hands. And he had betrayed her.

A horrible guilt bubbled up in Louis's throat as the memory assaulted his mind, tinged with shame and a bitter self-loathing. It wasn't so much the act of feeding upon the little girl that horrified him, although it was reprehensible in itself. It was the alien sense of relief and - to his disgust - even pleasure that coursed through him as the child's warm blood passed from her veins to his; that bloodlust terrified him, more so because he knew it lay dormant inside him, ready to erupt again.

Louis shifted uneasily and stared down at his smooth hands, flexing the fingers as if they were unfamiliar to him. Are these the hands of a murderer? Has the last spark of my humanity finally vanished, now that I have- I have killed? Where has my morality gone? Yet he still regretted it and wished he could turn back time - surely that should count for something? Surely, if he was still consumed by guilt at the thought of the kill, - no, the murder - that should prove he still held some vestiges of his former humanity? Or was it just wishful thinking... Maybe he was an abnormality, the only vampire who hated to take human life.

He walked over to the antique mirror, flecked with grey and tarnished as it aged. His light eyes stared accusingly back at him, no words needed to convey their reproach. He twisted his fingers in his thick shoulder-length dark brown hair, tugging a few strands gently out and watching as they grew back almost at once. His fingers tapped a restless rhythm, da da dum, da da dum, da da dum. Mur-der-er, mur-der-er, mur-der-er.

Lestat appeared at last and touched his shoulder lightly, sounding perfectly serene and untroubled in contrast to the turmoil inside Louis's mind.
"I have to show you something."
Louis raised his head, staring into Lestat's searching eyes. The older vampire seemed concerned for him - maybe he was starting to regret his earlier actions. Maybe it was Lestat who needed to change his ways. He got slowly to his feet, trusting his companion once more.
"Lead the way."

((Would you say Louis' or Louis's? I went with Louis's but it bothers me every time I see it! And obviously, I know Louis didn't really kill Claudia, but at this point he thought he did, right?))
((I think it would be Louis'... And at this point yes, he thought he killed Claudia. =] Nice post!))
((Hehe, ok, I'll change that in my next post then. And thanks! I think everyone's starting post was good... let's hope it stays that way xD))
{I'm sure they will. Hopefully.}

Lestat's glistening grey eyes peered over at Louis-whom seemed to be bothered with quite a bit of passion. It was difficult for him to fathom Louis' views and takes on human life. Louis always seemed sickened to even know that Lestat didn't feel guilty in the act-he wondered what Louis would feel if he thought and knew Lestat enjoyed it. Curious really....how Louis had sat there as if he felt he had committed the most dastardly crime a gentlemen could committ.

Lestat however believed there to be worse then this. This...this was mere survival wasn't it? Wasn't it just the circle of life? One creature surviving off another? Of course, he didn't doubt that Louis would disagree and argue that vampires are not meant to be on earth-that they go agaisnt everything that is natural-that they were not apart of what "God" had planned....God? Lestat often doubted the exsistence of such a being. Yet, he always seemed to wonder and ask himself questions about him. He shook off the feeling that began to overcome him-Louis was always confussing him wasn't he? Making him question himself.

He set his eyes on Louis, once again studying him and his behavior-which seem much unsettled-but wasn't that common, as always? When bothered or depressed Lestat by a small stretch could even describe Louis to look sickly. How that bothered look lay on his seemingly pale skin. How those once bright and joyful blue eyes-so light blue they almost appeared like clear azure crystals-now were darkened and weary with his own personal pain and suffering. Long lengths of dark hair combed back-a lock or two caressing the sides of his face while he weeped. Was he really as miserable as he appeared?

"Lead the way." the bothersome vampire Louis replied in a voice that almost seemed painful to seep out yet oh-so-beautiful when it had. Lestat nodded, a candle-stick still present in his hand as he led Louis into the darkness of the hallway eventually finding themselves in the room of the sickly, dying porelain doll.

A self-ammused smile appeared on the gorgeously pale face Lestat as he stepped into the room. Long laced sheets hang loosely from the ceiling-the small girl not revealed just yet. He knew Louis wouldn't feel well with the predicament-the girl becoming a vampire-the very thing Louis seemed to loathe with such a passion but he knew if he played his cards right he could reel him in. He stepped over to the bed, setting the flickering candle on a small table nearby. Slowly he took the laced curtiant, opening it and revealing Claudia whom lay inside. "Ma chère," he beckonened softly as he peered at the small girl with a smile-revealing only a bit of his pearl-colored fangs-then gazed over at Louis, "See all is well, my Louis."
