Days after Marius pulled me from that cell; I was dragged back into the recording studio with Lestat. I could not help but laugh at my childish best friend. In the one week I was locked away he wrote a whole new album of music for us both. I was glad that he did, it gave me something to focus on other then a nagging in the back of my head that was Marius. Lestat and I sat in the booth and recorded all the instrumentals first, and then meshed it all together, and then we sang. I love singing with him, he has such a unique style to his voice that mirrors mine so beautifully. We were perfect together, musically anyway. He could never be anymore to me then my best friend and confidant.

Controlling the Thirst….
I’ve never been so pissed off in my life. I thought Marius simply turning me, then making me his mistress, and then suddenly flipping around and refusing to touch me was bad enough. No, he goes and sticks me in a damned 4 x 4 cell; no light, no sound, and I can’t even have my music to occupy me! With this damned bond, I can feel his emotions. He’s upset he stuck me in here, what the fuck Marius! YOU stuck ME in the cell! Get over it! I’m the one that’s mad!! What else could I do, I sang. I sang every heartbreaking, emotional, heart pulling song I knew in my head. I felt his distress and I felt his want to let me out of there. Yeah, let me out of here Marius, you’ll be the first one I bite!
A Difficult Lesson
I knew that taking Mary through her journey of exploring her gifts wouldn’t be peaches and cream. No. It would be tough, sometimes unbearable, not just for her but for me as her maker. But I am determined to make her into a better, well-rounded, powerful vampire. Afterall, she was created with my blood… the blood of Akasha. And it was Akasha I feared the most in Mary’s regard. For the culling is soon to be underway and if Mary is to survive, she must be taught properly.
For I took her out and showed her how to awaken her Glamour Gift; bending the will of mortals and creatures to her own. She channels the power that is naturally within her, through her music. She did well, some trouble at first but she’s getting better. The Glamour Gift taps into your own individual energy, which can come from whatever feeds it, to project outwardly. For me, I use my love for Pandora, which has always been the source of my greatest power. But I also use the love of my entire family to fuel it. For Mary, it is the love of music that fuels her… the source of her energy and power. She will need to practice the Glamour Gift more until she perfects it.
Drown in Sorrow
I grew up a simple life in the town called Minoc. My father was a prominent public figure. A Proud Governor and business man. My Mother was a simple woman with a love for music. I was born December 19th, in our Estate outside of town. The first child of the Drown family, and my father’s pride and joy. I was doted upon by the entire town. Jokes were made that I should have been the little princess! Mother started teaching me music really young. She sang to me every day, and every night before I went to sleep. I loved her so much.
By the time I reached ten I was along side mother playing her piano, and the lute, and the flute. I sang loud and performed little shows for mom and dad. Daddy asked me to start playing and singing for those visitors that would come every week to talk business. Oh how I loved it all. the bright warming smiles, the applause at the end of my little show. Vibrant, so alive I was at that age. How I wish I could go back to those days, where I am loved, where I am safe and nothing could hurt me.
