Claudia laughed.

"I don't know what I like to play yet." She said with a shrug of her shoulders. "It's somethin' to do with my nights, I guess. Y'know, all of the books about fictional vampires don't talk about how boring living forever can be."

She seemed proud. Of course, she didn't do much of the decorating. But some of the assorted clutter was hers.

"Thank you. Take a seat wherever."

Claudia settled, reaching out telepathically to Louis as she did. Warning him what he'd be coming home to, but telling him that she had it handled.

"Been thinkin' of taking up piano again." She said with a shrug. "It's been a while."

— heavy curtains that they could close come sun up. There was also a balcony.

"Welcome to our lair!" She said excitedly.

"Not really."

She fought a grin as she led her up the stairs and to their apartment, throwing her keys down on the table.

It was nice, really. The walls were covered in art; paintings and photos. Books were littered around the place, making it look lived in. Their windows had —

━ she didn't instantly rush off in search of the first human to sink her fangs into. She waited for Lestat.

Although, she had to tense her jaw, trying to stop her fangs from dropping.

"C'mon, hurry up!" Okay, so she wasn't waiting patiently, but there was a time when she wouldn't wait at all!

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 8h

"That suits me just fine."

With a serious nod, she turned to march out of the door. She was instantly hit with the sounds and smells that came from mortals. Her eyes darting from person to person, pupils dilating like a kitten that caught sight of a mouse.

Unlike when she was first turned, ━

"Really?" She raised an eyebrow, climbing into the bed.

"Are you sure you don't want to drink? I could grab you somethin'."

━ holding it open for her.

"We're on the second floor. No eating the neighbors, that's the rule." She said that with a roll of her eyes.

"He might not be home when we get there."

The building they were renting was nice, on a busy street. Enough that they could be right in the middle of everything; her 'brother' could mingle with humans and Claudia could get an easy snack.

She walked over and unlocked the door, ━

Claudia looked at him. But then sighed and left the room, coming back with two stuffed animals. She threw one in his direction.

"I didn't think you'd be such a baby when it comes to pain."

━ was a strange thing to say. Humans liked the sun.

Ah, well. She's sure some humans prefer the dark.

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 1d

Claudia couldn't help it. She laughed.

It wasn't a mean laugh. No, it was as if she was so delighted by hearing something so painfully optimistic that she couldn't hold it back.

"Yeah? Well, I... I just like that the sun sets earlier."

She didn't realize until after she said it that it ━

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 1d

"Yeah. Took a lot to get him to leave."

She sounded pained when she said that, clearly remembering something unpleasant. But then she shook it off, focusing on moving.

"He'll like you."

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 1d

"Yeah."

She made a face, scrunching up her nose.

"I told you my maker was companions with the man who pulled me from the fire, right? It's a really long story, but basically, let's say he was in a similar situation that you were. Thought it was love, but it wasn't. We ran away together."

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 1d

"He's..."

She hesitated, trying to decide how to explain. Her eyebrows furrowed.

"Kinda like a brother, I guess."

Claudia continued to walk. Maybe she was nervous because Ivory hadn't been around other vampires at all. Louis would be safe, of course. He was a pushover.

But even he was a bastard. Every vampire she's ever met had been.

"It's just me and one other where I'm staying."

━ but she had a feeling that neither of them would allow that. Either because she'd be too rabid or because she'd overindulge and make herself sick.

One day, she told herself. One day.

Claudia took her coat, shrugging it on. She fussed with her hair, making sure that it was exactly as she wanted it. Of course, she was a messy eater so her clothes might even have to be burned by the end of the night, but still.

"Yes. Where are we goin' tonight?"

She itched to hunt on her own, ━

"Follow me."

She turned, going slower this time. Clearly in no rush. To be fair, the sun wouldn't be up for a good long while.

"Keep your mind guarded, okay?"

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 1d

Taking a deep breath, she looked her up and down. As if sizing her up; something she hadn't done so far.

"Alright. Why don't you come back to where I'm stayin'?"

𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆 @dolllikesister.bsky.social · 1d

She paused.

"I do. But, uh, they're..." She frowned a little. "I'd introduce you, but be careful. Yeah? We're predators by nature."
