Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles Page #4

No!

Then take her, Louis, end her suffering!

End yours!

No!

Now...

...are you happy?

My God!

To think you...

...are all I have to learn from.

In the Old World...

...they called it the '"dark gift. '"

And I gave it to you.

Don't go that way, Monsieur.

It's the plague.

- Go back the way you came!

- The way I came...

Mama.

Please help us.

Papa left us and didn't come back.

Please, wake Mama, Monsieur.

My philosopher. My martyr.

'"Never take a human life. '"

This calls for a celebration.

There's still life in the old lady yet.

Come back!

You are what you are!

Merciful death.

How you love your precious guilt.

Her blood coursed in my veins...

...sweeter than life itself.

And, as it did, Lestat's words

made sense to me.

I knew peace only when I killed.

When I heard her heart in that terrible

rhythm, I knew what peace could be.

All I need to find you, Louis,

is follow the corpses of rats.

Pain is terrible for you.

You feel it like no other creature,

because you're a vampire.

You don't want it to go on.

No.

Then do what it is in your nature to do...

...and you will feel as you felt

with that child in your arms.

Evil is a point of view.

God kills indiscriminately...

...and so shall we.

For no creatures under God are as we are.

None so like Him...

...as ourselves.

I have a gift for you.

Come.

Please.

- She's here.

- What are you saying?

You need...

...company...

...more congenial than mine.

Remember how you wanted her?

The taste of her?

I thought I'd killed her.

Don't worry.

Your conscience is clear.

Claudia.

Listen to me.

You're ill, my precious.

And I'm going to give you

what you need to get well.

No.

You want her to die then?

That's it. Yes.

Stop!

Stop!

Enough!

I want some more.

Of course you want more.

Gently, chrie.

They're so innocent.

They must not be made to suffer.

Good.

Yes.

All right, now.

Stop.

That's enough, chrie.

You must stop before the heart stops.

I want more.

I know.

But it's best in the beginning...

...lest the Death takes you down with it.

You've done very well. Look at you.

Not a drop spilt. Very good.

Where is Mama?

Mama's gone...

...to Heaven, chrie, like that sweet lady...

right there.

They all go to Heaven.

All but us.

Do you want to frighten our daughter?

I'm not your daughter.

Oh, yes, you are.

You're my and Louis' daughter now.

You see, Louis was going to leave us.

He was going to go away.

But now he's not.

Now he's going to stay...

...and make you happy.

Louis.

You fiend.

One happy family.

He did it to make you stay with him?

Perhaps.

He knew me. He knew I would love

her more than the waking world.

But there was more to it.
