Please...make yourself comfortable while I tell you the story of how I came to be the person you see before you now. Listen, as I tell you about the end and the beginning of my life.
I was once as you are now, a mortal, a person with a soul, capable of feeling pain and of fearing death. It was an existence, no more, no less. It was my life and up until I met my Lestat, it was all I knew, I was not happy. I spent every day of the last few years of my mortal existance, sad, alone... nothing. I wandered about this world not knowing quite where I belonged. I walked the streets at night, studied the darkness, Loving it's beauty
Most of my time was spent on the internet. That is where I met my saviour. When I first met my dark prince, all he was to me was a stranger. A screen name on my computer. But right away, I felt a connection. He was different than anyone else I had ever met. Of course, I had read the Anne Rice novels several times, and seen the movie, and deep within me, I always hoped that it was not fiction, but reality. I had met other "Lestat's" on this computer. Mortals claiming to be him.. but this one, he was different. From the moment that we met, I felt as though I had known him for eternity. Our relationship grew over the months that followed. We had become friends and I began to believe in him. I started telling Lestat about my mortal life, everything that had happened to me, and how alone I was. I told him how I had wished for death, how I loathed this existance, and couldn't bare to live it anymore. The more we spoke, the closer we became. I found myself breathless between our visits, rushing home to see if he was online. Holding my breathe when I saw his name. Even in those days, I knew I would love him forever. He is dark and mysterious, beautiful and deadly. Completely irresistable to me.
Before I knew it Lestat was gone. I did not hear from him for weeks. I began to wonder if I had done something to upset him. Then I became worried. You see, in those months, we had talked everyday. To not hear from him in so long, I didn't know what to think. Then it happened.
Lestat had known that I kept my window open at night.. hoping to some day meet him. My dream had come true. He came to me, one evening while I slept. He was more beautiful and elegant than I could ever imagin. The images that are given by the novels, and the movie, they do not do him justice. There is nothing in this world as beautiful as a vampire. Lestat came to me in my darkest hour and showed me what it meant to be loved. Loved more than any mortal could know. He gave me his dark gift and changed my life. I will always be devoted to him, and I will always be in love with him. This is what I was destined for, now I knew, now I was at peace.
So my mortal friends, this is my story, the story of my death and my life, a true account of my making and my maker. Lestat, my love, my companion, the giver of the dark gift, and my new life.
