                                  -----------


Hallo everybody, 

My name is Honey Isabella Mayfair. I'd like to tell you the story of my live, as
so many of my kind have done until today. Well, my kind...they...I mean, we are
what the human call immortal. We feed of the blood from the evildoer and do not
touch the innocent. 

But I will start from the beginning, when I was born in a hot summer's night in
New Orleans.
My mother was called Cold Sandra for she only played with the people around her.
She liked going out with many different men and so I grew up under the eyes of
my grandmother, who was called Great Nananne. My grandmother taught me how to do
magic, for I was a born witch, as she was. I learned everything about magic that
one can learn in the world. I knew how I could curse people and I was able to
talk to the ghosts of people who died long ago. I was about six years old, when
my mother was pregnant again, but I wasn't much interested by this news for I
was about to go to school, something my mother had never done. 

In school the other pupils feared me, because my long hair was fairy blond and
slightly locked and my skin had had the colour of honey (that was the reason,
why I was called Honey...grandma called me Honey in the Sunshine). I was quite
tall for my age and I used my enormous magic powers in my lessons. I was often
told off from Great Nananne for that, but she couldn't keep me off doing it. 
On a mild winters day my little sister Merrick Marie Louise Mayfair was born,
but as I said, I was not interested in such things. Magic was my most beloved
free time activity and nobody was able to stop me. 

When I was about fourteen years old, I met an interesting man on one of my night
time strolls through the streets of New Orleans. I was walking through the
Garden District, when I became aware that a man followed me. I used my Mind Gift
to watch him. He was tall, with hair blond as mine and violet blue eyes. He
watched me. He thought I was interesting too. I walked a couple of blocks before
I mumbled a curse under my breath. It hit him hard, but he only smiled and
turned away.

Only a few nights later I saw this man again, when I went on a night time
stroll. He sat in the Cafe du Monde. I walked past him and when I turned around
to look at him again, he had vanished. I could not sense his thoughts. For a
moment I was confused but then I went on. He caught me near the Rue Royal. He
hit me hard in my neck and I lost my consciousness. When I came round I lay on a
beautiful bed with blood red curtains. I watched silently and as I thought, the
man was here in this very room. He came to the bed and lifted the curtains. His
face broke into a smile and with his soft voice he said "You're too beautiful,
darling...but tell me, why you have gone out to look for me?" I gave him a weak
smile. "I was fascinated by your eyes and your looks. I have never seen such a
beautiful man", I answered. He looked astonished and then he laughed. "You are
sweet...Honey", he said and I knew at once that he had read my mind. "Who are
you?" I demanded. He smiled mildly. "Well, I might tell you, but then I will
have to kill you, Honey." he told me. "I don't fear death, Monsieur." I said and
than I broke through the barricades he had built around his mind. He looked
embarrassed, because I dared to do such thing. "Monsieur Lestat de Lioncourt." I
smiled and sat up. My head began to ache and he handed me a glass of water.
"Thanks." I said. He did not answer but sat down beside me. His right hand now
touched my face and I heard his soft voice whisper in my head: "Honey, you will
become a child of darkness, when you are old enough. Until the time has come, I
wish that you come here every night to study the history of my kind." I looked
up into his bright eyes and nodded. "I promise I will come, but Great Nananne
would want to know, where I go every night, Lestat." I responded. He gave me a
soft kiss and said: "Well, tell her, you found a teacher...for let's say
French?" he said. I laughed and returned his kiss. "Okay, I'll do as you wish,
master..." I murmured, while he held me in his arms. "Then sleep well. I will
take you home." he said and under his soft words I fell asleep. I woke with a
start early in the morning. "Where have you been, Honey?" demanded Great
Nananne. I watched her in silence. "I was out!" I answered after a while and
left my bed. "You shouldn't go out at night, Honey. There are evil men outside.
You should stay here." she said in her strong ageless voice. I looked at her and
said: "You won't stop me going to my lessons, Great Nananne. Even if you try to
curse me...you know I am strong enough to break your curses anyway. And now
leave me alone!" She looked astonished, but she left to look after Merrick. I
went to school, as I usually did, but in my mind I only thought of Lestat. I did
not obey old Nanannes words when I left the house that night. I went back to the
Garden District. I knocked on the door of the house in the Rue Royale. "Come in,
Honey!" I heard a voice in my head. I walked over the lawn to the front door. It
wasn't locked. I opened it and went right into the drawing room in the first
floor. I found Lestat there and another Blood drinker was with him. He was
nearly as beautiful as Lestat. His eyes were bright green and his long hair was
jet black. He looked at Lestat. "This is Honey, Louis!" Lestat told him. I
smiled and touched his hand. "Hallo, Louis de Pointe du Lac.", I said. "You have
told her my name?" Louis asked Lestat. He shook his head. "No, I read your mind.
It is quite easy for me for I am a Mayfair Witch.", I told him. Louis smiled
vaguely. "Ah, Honey, do you like to go out hunting with me?" Lestat asked me.
Louis' smile vanished. "Are you crazy? She is a human! She surely does not want
to see you hunt." Louis said. "Oh, it would be a pleasure to see you hunt,
Lestat." I answered and looked down at my clothes. I wore a shiny silk dress.
Lestat nodded. "I see, you need dark clothes. Take these trousers and this
pullover." he said and handed me the clothes. I opened my dress and it fell to
the ground. I only wore a little slip under my dress. Lestat smiled at me and
Louis' face went flaming red. I slipped into the trousers and the pullover. "To
whom do these clothes belong?" I wanted to know. "Well, the trousers belong to
Jesse, but the pullover is mine." Lestat said. He put his arm around me und
lifted me up. We left the house and he took me down to the river. In one of the
pubs he searched the evildoer. I sensed a man, who had committed a murder
lately. Lestat had sensed him too and looked at me. "Do you like to bring him to
me?" he asked me. I merrily nodded and went into the pub. I talked to the man
and offered him my body. I bewitched him and he followed me. We went down to the
river bench, where Lestat hid in the dark. I sensed Lestat and I let him know
that the man was his meal. Lestat sneaked nearer and nearer and then he bit the
man into his neck and drank the blood that poured out of his veins. Lestat
smiled and his marble white skin looked now a little bit more human. He took my
hand after he had thrown the dead body into the river. Slowly we walked back to
Rue Royale. Louis returned shortly afterwards. "She is a natural, Louis. She
does not mind killing." Lestat said smiling. Lestat had settled himself on the
sofa and I had sat beside him, but I went drowsy, because it was quite late. "Do
you want to sleep?" Louis asked me. I nodded. "You can sleep here. I don't think
your Grandma would mind. Yesterday she sent me off with the help of an old
ghost. I won't like return to her house without her permission." Lestat said. I
laid my head on his leg and he stroked my head. Shortly afterwards he lifted me
up and brought me to the bedroom. For the first time I realised that this great
four poster bed had silk hangings. The shiny blood red colour was quite
handsome. Lestat smiled and kissed me good night. I slept until the late
afternoon. When I woke I was quite hungry. I walked through the whole house and
looked at every picture and every portrait. I fell in love with this house while
I searched for food. At last I found an old man, who sat outside on the stairs.
He got a little shock, when I came out of the front door. "Oh...I did not know
that we had guests...sorry about that, Miss.", he said. I smiled mildly. "May I
ask you for some food, Mister? I am quite hungry." I said. "I will walk to the
grocery and buy some food for you, Miss.", he said and in a second he was gone.
I went back into the house and to the bathroom. I cleaned my face and teeth,
before I took the receiver from the telephone and dialled my own number. "Yes?"
said a squeaky little voice. "Merrick, it's me, Honey. Can you call grandma?" I
asked. "Sure!" my little sister said and smashed the receiver down on the table.
Only a second later Great Nananne was on the phone. "Honey?" she asked. "What do
you think?" I answered. "You'll come right back home, Honey. Your mother has got
hysterical fits, because you did not return last night." she said. I smiled. "I
won't come back for a few days, Nananne. Perhaps I will never come back." I said
and put the receiver down. The old man had come back and he had brought fresh
food. I smiled at him and told him to take the meal together with me. We ate the
fresh fruits and talked little. When sundown drew near the old man stood up. "I
have to leave, Miss. I'm only allowed to be in this house till sundown." he
said. I nodded. "You may leave, but I'll have to stay." I said and escorted him
to the front door. I went out into the backyard, where I watched the beautiful
sun go down. I heard footsteps on the front door. Someone walked trough the
house and came outside into the backyard. "Who are you? What are you doing here
in this house, silly little girl?" a deep voice asked me. I felt strong fingers
grip my shoulders. "Leave her, David!" Lestat called. I turned around and freed
myself from the grip of the stranger. Lestat took me into his arms. "David, this
is Honey Isabella Mayfair. She will become my new companion...in a few years,
when she has tasted all the good things life can offer..." Lestat said. David
only nodded, but he did not respond. 

I did not return to the house of my grandmother for nearly four years. Nearly
every night of these four years I went out to hunt with Lestat. I learned
everything about the history of the vampires. I learned from Lestat, Louis and
David, who once belonged to the order of the Talamasca. But I also learned from
other Blood drinkers who came to visit Lestat, Louis and David. There was
Armand, who once was the leader of the order of Satan's children, Jesse, who
also was a member of the Talamasca, Maharet and Mekare, the two oldest living
vampires, Khayman, who was as old as the twins, Marius, who was Lestats master,
but not the vampire who made him, Santino and Mael, who had been a druid. I
enjoyed these years. I was the only human in this coven of Blood drinkers and it
was my privilege to sleep in Lestats four-poster. Nobody else was allowed to
come to this room. When I was about sixteen, Lestat showed me what real love
meant. Late at night he came into his bedroom. He laid himself down beside me
and kissed me. That wasn't irritating. He often kissed me. But then he looked
into my bright green eyes and said in a soft voice: "Tonight...you will become a
woman, my dear Honey." I looked at him without fear and whispered: "But only,
when you will do this. I would not allow a human to touch my body." Lestat
nodded and he began to pull of my clothes. He kissed every part of my bare skin
and I began to wind me. I shivered and Lestat took of his clothes to. I felt his
hands everywhere on my body and I knew that this was a sin, but I also was sure
I'd like this sin. Then he was above me and kissed me. He penetrated me and I
gave a faint scream. He moved slowly and touched me lightly. I screamed when I
reached my orgasm. I nearly fainted. When I came round, Lestat still lay beside
me. His hand stroked my sweaty hair. He smiled at me. "How do you feel now?" he
asked me. I looked at him in silence and then I kissed him. "Weary...and my
stomach hurts a little bit...but it felt really good, Lestat." I answered him. I
kissed him again. "I love you, Lestat." I said. He still smiled. "I love you,
too, Honey." he whispered. He put his arms around me. I fell asleep in his arms
and when I woke, Lestat was still with me. I tried to look on my watch, but it
was to dark. I looked around. And than I realised, that Lestat had took me with
him to his sarcophagus. I felt no fear, because Lestat was with me. I fell
asleep again and I only woke, when Lestat lifted me up. "Sorry, I thought I
should not leave you alone, but there was no possibility to stay." he said. I
smiled. "It is okay, Lestat." I answered. "Oh, Honey, you're so sweet." We were
back in the Rue Royale. Louis and David had gone out for hunting. I sat down in
the drawing room and looked up to Lestat. He watched me. I smiled at him.
"Honey?" he whispered. I read his mind. He was about to give me the blood. I
shook my head. "No, Lestat. I'm not old enough." I said. Thanks to god he obeyed
me. 

As I have already said, I did not return to my grandmothers' house for nearly
four years. Lestat said that I was even prettier than four years ago. I wore a
shiny black silk dress and Lestat had told me that this hot summer's night, in
fact it was my eighteenth birthday, should be the day, when I should drink the
dark blood. I said that it was okay for me, but that I would like to say goodbye
to Great Nananne, Cold Sandra and Merrick. Lestat said that it was okay, but
that I should not tell them, what I was about to become. So I went to the house
of Great Nananne early in the morning. Lestat had left the house with me and had
gone to his hiding place. But I knew that he would be with me, while I was in
Nanannes house. I opened the front door and called: "I'm home!" Great Nananne
came running out of her boudoir. "Honey in the Sunshine...I don't believe it..."
she screamed. She looked at me and I penetrated her mind. I saw what she saw. My
fairy blond hair was even longer for it had grown in the past four years and my
green eyes were blazing in the sunlight. I smiled at her and brought her back
into her boudoir. She laid down on her bed. I stood near the window. "Great
Nananne...I told you...I won't come back...I have only come to say goodbye to
you, Cold Sandra and little Merrick..." I said. "Say goodbye? You did not say
goodbye when you left four years ago, Honey in the Sunshine!" said a cold voice
behind me. I did not dare turn around, but I knew that Merrick stood in the
doorway. "Don't speak to me like that, Merrick!" I demanded. I stood there
upright in the sun and then I turned. My eyes were blazing in cold fire.
Merrick, who was twelve years at this time, looked at me in cold fury. "You left
without telling anybody where you were about to go. I hate you...mum hates
you..." she shouted. I was able to read her mind easily. "You don't hate me,
Merrick...you are not yet able to hate...you do not even know what hate is...and
mum doesn't know it either" I answered her calmly. She looked astonished. Great
Nananne watched me in silence. Under her breath she mumbled old magic verses.
She was about to control, if I was her Honey in the Sunshine. I gave her a weak
smile and said: "Don't do this, Nananne... you will regret it...for I learned to
use every bit of magic I possess." She looked at me with widened eyes. "Are you
going to have a go on Great Nananne, Honey?" Merrick asked. "No, I won't,
Merrick. As I said, I will only say goodbye...I am going to leave this world
entirely..." I answered. I hugged Nananne and Merrick and than I went to search
my mother. As I thought I found her in the backyard. She started to scream when
she saw me. "Honey...Honey...Honey" she screamed. I bowed my head and gave her a
faint smile. "I only came to say goodbye, mother..." I whispered. Her light eyes
became dark. "You can't leave me, Honey...not yet...please stay with me for a
while...tell me where you have gone in these past years..." she whimpered. I
looked at her and considered the matter silently. Than I said calmly "I can't,
Mother and you know that...please don't keep me here...I will go to a happier
place..." "Are you taking drugs, Honey?" Great Nananne asked. I turned to her
and shook my head. "Why should I? I am with the ones I love more dearly than my
own life. And as they are about to leave, I will go with them." I answered. "I
saw you last night...you were out with a tall blond man...he is the reason, am I
right?" Merrick asked. I looked at my little sister. "Sorry, little sister, but
I wasn't out last night. I did in fact did not leave the house for a whole week,
because we had visitors." I explained. I looked up into the sky. The sun hurt in
my eyes, because in the last four years I had only seen her for minutes when she
had gone down or up. I normally slept all the day, because I spent my nights
with my friends. "You are quite pale, Honey. Do you want to eat something?" Cold
Sandra asked me. I shook my head again. "I must leave now!" I said and turned
around. I left the house in silence though I heard the three women weep in the
backyard. I walked through New Orleans although I was pretty tired. I said
goodbye to all my beloved places. I would never see them in daylight again.
After midday I went back to Rue Royale and went to Lestats bed. I laid down on
the bed and fell asleep. At sundown I woke with a start. I sat bold upright and
listened in silence. I heard Lestat and Louis enter the house. There was another
blood drinker with them, someone, who was much older than Lestat. The three of
them entered the bedroom. I wore only a slip and a bra, as I always did at this
time of night. Lestat smiled at me. "Tonight, as your birthday present, you will
become one of us." He said and kissed me. Louis also kissed me and then I saw,
who the third blood drinker was. It was Marius. The tall blond man with the
magnificent blue eyes smiled at me. "I am here to become your dark father, my
dear Honey in the Sunshine. I do as Lestat bid me to do." he said. I gave Lestat
a curious look. He still smiled. "I like reading your mind and communicating in
silence with you, Honey...that would be impossible if I become your dark
father...but if Marius does it, we will be like brother and sister...I will be
able to read your mind as I have always been..." he said. I nodded and looked at
Louis. "Say goodbye to little Honey in the Sunshine, Louis." I said. Louis
replied nothing. He and Lestat flanked the bed and Marius kneeled beside me. I
put my arms around his neck and then I felt his teeth pierce my veins. I became
rigid but Lestat told me to look into his eyes, because I had to stay awake, if
I did not want to die. I looked into his violet eyes and smiled. "Here, drink!"
Marius said. I felt his wrist on my mouth. It was dripping with blood. I sank my
mouth and teeth over it and began to suck the blood. When I could not drink
anymore my body became rigid again. I shivered over and over, but Marius held me
steady and drank my blood again. Over and over again he did this. He drank my
blood and he gave it back to me. Then the shivering stopped. Marius lifted me up
and took me to the bathroom. There he cleaned my body, because all the human
fluids left my body and dripped all over me. I tried to hold myself steady, but
I was weak and hungry. "We will go out to hunt as soon as possible, Honey."
Lestat told me. Naked and wet I flung myself into his arms. He kissed me and
when I kissed him back, I ripped my tongue up at my sharp little teeth. The
wound healed almost immediately. Louis started to rub the water of my body. I
thanked them and than I looked at me for the first time. My skin was now as
white as Lestats and my green eyes were shining in cold fire. I looked at my
hands and noticed that my nails were quite shiny. "You should get yourself
dressed." Marius said. He was whiter than ever, if this was possible. I walked
into my bedroom, to be exact it was Lestats bedroom. I slipped into black
leather trousers and a black leather top. Lestat gave me a high collared leather
cloak. I put on my leather boots and than I went out with them. I was fascinated
from everything I saw. Lestat smiled. "My little newborn Honey in the Sunshine."
he whispered. I flung me into his arms again. He kissed me and then he said "We
have to leave now...you need to drink, Honey." We left Rue Royale and got down
to the river bench. As usual, when I had gone out hunting with Lestat as a
human, I went into one of the pubs. I lured four men outside with me and then I
got hold of the first. I sucked his blood with such violence, that he died after
a few seconds. The second also died very quickly. Number three and four I
brought to Lestat. He got hold of them and they died in silence. We threw the
dead bodies into the river. I laughed and laughed and laughed. Lestat watched me
in silence. "How strong I am now..." I said. He nodded. "Marius gave you all the
power he possesses. You are just as strong as I am." he said. I smiled. "Let's
go for a walk, Lestat." I whispered. Lestat took my hand and we walked in
silence along the river bench. I felt the quiet of the night with all my sins
and I thought I should feel scared. "Oh no, Honey...Darkness is your new
home...you don't have to feel scared. You are strong even for a vampire who is
newborn. And you have strong friends." Lestat said in barely more than a
whisper. I smiled and turned to him. His violet blue eyes were shining in the
darkness. "Your eyes are shining, too, Honey...I love your bright green eyes."
He whispered. We walked back to the Rue Royale.
