My eyes are stone…
*eyes flutter up*
My skin is cold,
Yet my heart beats warmly.
Pumping hot liquid through my veins.
I was hungry, but you were full.
So, I sleep
But you refuse to sleep.
Still I love you.
For me, you are stone and cold.
You refuse to move.
You stand there cold.
Still I love you.
*Violin music*
My Queen…
You move!
Now, I know you’re awake.
You hunger.
You love me!
Then, he comes!
Who is he?!
He is not our keeper!
You were stone.
You were cold.
You refused to move for me…
Yet you move for him!
*Akasha raises her hand and let’s Lestat drink*
Still I ---
I hate you!
I hate you!
I hate you!
I hate you!
I hate you!
* Rage overpowers him. Hate flowing through his veins. He walks to his queen and new lover. A wicked smile on his face. He pulls Lestat away from his queen. He snaps his neck and rips off his blonde head. Akasha looks at him wide eyed and shocked. I HATE *Pulls sword out from it’s holder and cuts off her head.* YOU!
*As Akasha turns to dust, Enkil walks out off into the distance.*
I was talking to Lestat today.
Yeah, we’re back together.
I know you wouldn’t approve,
But he did love us.
He loved me first,
Because it was just me and him in the beginning,
But he loved you, too.
You were his little girl, too.
Our little girl.
Do you remember when we were a family?
I know in your last days, you wept over your mother,
But did you really remember her?
You were only five.
So young.
Was it such a bad trade?
Two fathers for one dead mother.
Lestat is bold and proud.
He is an actor.
He wears a mask.
Hiding his true feelings.
He did love you.
He grieved you.
No matter what you think,
He didn’t arrange for you to die.
He wept as I did on that fateful day.
I love you, Claudia.
You were my little girl,
And still are.
I will never forget you.
A part of you will always be in my heart,
And a part of my soul will always be missing
Because it is with you.
They say a vampire can’t cry…
But I shed tears for you the night you died
and every night I think of it.
And here I am crying now….
*Lestat places a single pink rose on Claudia’s grave.*
I see Louis has visited you.
*Looks around.*
I never meant to harm you.
I loved you.
You were my little girl.
Mine and Louis’.
Too bad you take so much after me.
If only you had been more like Louis.
Kind, soft spoken, gentle, and sweet.
Remember, when we’d hunt our victims and they’d
Look admiringly at the beautiful father and daughter.
We looked so much alike…
I wish the similarities ended there, though.
That’s why you had to die.
We were too much a like.
Both needing to be the center of attention.
Both wanting Louis all to ourselves.
*Smirks.* But in fairness,
you did try to kill me…
Twice. *Laughs*
Like father, like daughter.
*Lestat walks away and catches up with Louis*
