Vampire Journals Page #2

---

I'm not here to enforce the law.

I'm here to serve you.

Yes.

Please, it's very important

to avoid a scandal.

The last thing any of us

wants is a scandal, my friend.

You and Dimitri

may dispose of her.

Let's get this over

with quickly, Cassandra.

The smell is disgusting.

I shall have to use

a liter of perfume

to find anyone to dance with me.

You don't appreciate the

smell of death, Dimitri?

I find it intoxicating.

Yes.

You're a depraved little b*tch.

Join me, Dimitri.

It's a shame to let

her go to waste.

What troubles you, child?

The wanderer you prophesied.

I faced him tonight.

At last, he has arrived.

He held the Blade of Laertes.

Draw him close to you.

Fear him not.

You are the stronger one.

You will prevail.

Excuse me.

You're Sofia

Christopher, aren't you?

You perform with the symphony.

Uh, yes, I am.

Can I help you?

My employer offers

his deepest apologies

for frightening you last night.

He asked me to

convey he was merely

seeing you safely to your home.

Oh, uh, I guess I

did sort of overreact.

His name is Monsieur Ash.

He's a wealthy

patron of the arts.

A bit eccentric, perhaps,

but a most gentle man.

He was quite taken

by your performance

and wishes to engage you in a

private recital at Club Muse.

Oh, really?

When?

Tonight, if possible,

for a fee of $1,000.

Tonight?

Uh, sure.

That's great.

I'll come around with

the car just after sunset.

OK.

That's great.

Zachary!

What are you doing here?

Hoping to see you.

You're going somewhere?

Yes.

The most amazing

thing happened today.

This woman stopped

me on the street

and hired me to play at

that place, Club Muse.

Club Muse?

This woman, she was

out in the daylight?

Yeah, it was daytime.

That man who followed

me, he's the owner.

He's a patron of the arts.

They're paying me $1,000

for one solo recital.

Sofia, you must come

with me and listen

carefully to what

I have to tell you.

Tell me tomorrow, OK, Zachary?

I've gotta go now.

Sofia, please, don't

get in that car.

Zachary, I'm nervous

enough as it is, OK?

I like you, but you're not

my boyfriend or anything.

So don't get bossy, OK?

ZACHARY NARRATING: The woman

in the car was no vampire,

but she reeked of evil.

I should've stopped her,

but something held me back.

With shame, I realized I

hesitated in the knowledge

that she would lead

me to his lair.

She crossed the threshold

of her own free will.

To intervene in

that moment would

have jeopardized my quest.

[LAUGHTER AND CHATTING]

This place is beautiful.

It suits our needs.

You may begin.

[PIANO PLAYING]

Please, continue.

[PIANO PLAYING]

ZACHARY NARRATING:

The hours passed.

Mortals came and went.
