She sat there. Sitting at the fire place reading her book...the name of the book had warn away....unknown of the title, she read it anyway....the book fascinated her. The fire place roared, and all of a sudden she heard a scream...Mina got up and stood there for a few minutes. She wore a bright blue gown...it swayed with every movement she made. Her hair was long and wavy...up in a pony-tail. Startled, she slowly walked to her mothers room. The door had been open a crack, just enough to see inside. What Mina had seen shocked and scared her. It was her father, his mouth was pressed against the neck of a woman...drops of blood landed on the floor, and in his arms was the cold dying body of her mother. Mina couldn't help but scream. Her father ,Lestat, looked up and saw her. Dropping her mothers dead body to the ground. Lestat moved to the side disappearing in the spot the light of the kerosene lamp didn't touch...she opened the door letting her hair loose....and landing next to her mothers body. She picked up her mother's head and looked at it ever so solemnly...she held it in her arms letting out a tear for the one she loved. She felt a cold hand go on her shoulder, Mina became stiff all of a sudden, she slowly turned around. She saw him. Lestat glared at her with his evil red eyes. Crimson blood flowed from his lips. Mina stared into his eyes....she was entranced and couldn't move, inside she was screaming, she stood up and not breaking eye contact with her father; Lestat rapped his arms around her saying "Do not be afraid my dear, a brief moment of pain, and everlasting life will be yours." Mina stared at him slowly nodding her head. He tilted her head to the side. Her eyes left his and wandered off to the distance.She could feel his cold breath on her shoulder, she shuddered, as she felt his teeth press into her skin and pierce it. A yelp escaped her mouth. Slowly she felt the life leaving her body, as she was about to collapse to her knees, he lifted up his head. Lestat took his wrist and bit it; he put it up against her mouth, "Drink." he said. Mina had no choice or she would surely die, she put her hands on his arm and slowly sucked the blood from his cut wrist. Mina felt a pain coming from her heart. Meanwhile, someone pounded and knocked down the door. Lestat glanced behind and pushed Mina to the floor, diving out the window, for it was no one but a vampire hunter. Mina blacked out not seeing the face of her rescuer only knowing that he had cleaned up the messed Lestat left and took Mina to her bed and closed the curtains so no light could get in during the morning. Mina woke up later that night wondering why she was not dead. Mina knew what had happened, but it didn't bother her. For she longed to know who rescued her and why he didn't kill her. For now was a vampiress of the night, forever to live in darkness.
