A/N: Just thought I would add a bit to my disclaimer Anne Rice owns the first song it's from her book the Queen of the Damned. Static-X owns Cold.

When I first looked down at his cold lifeless form I couldn't, I wouldn't believe.

"Louis! Louis!" I cried. "I'm here, I'm back!" He just stared up at my with those vacant eyes and I realized that he couldn't hear me. I wasn't reaching him. With that I started screaming at him ordering him to wake up that instant. I grabbed him and shook him and shook him. I made so much noise that Gabrielle came back. My mother pulled me of him and held me tightly in her arms stopping me from continuing. I fought half heartily for a moment but I knew she was right. I had seen this unseeing look countless times on the faces of Akasha and Enkil. They could see and yet they could not.

I knew at once that I would try to revive him. I had awakened the ancient ones I would bring him back. From the on I was possessed. I quickly went down the stairs and told the others that I would handle it. they gave me disbelieving looks. I think that I must have been mad I forced them to leave every one of them. They didn't really struggle just faded out into the night. I stared at the street until you couldn't have even known that they were there. They were gone and I had much to do.

The first thing that I changed was his bed it was wrong. I admit that it was nice as far as beds went but he always preferred coffins. So that is what I got him a plain white coffin. Through the Internet, they never ask any questions. It was there the next day. I quickly moved him into it. I tried stimulating him with everything I could think of. I sat with him and read him his favorite books one night. I sat with him and talked of old times. Once I bought a violin and played it for him as I had for the Queen so long ago. Even throughout my playing he didn't stir.

One night I came in and I just started singing. I sang a song that had once woken the great mother. If the words could wake her then surely they would have some effect on Louis. My voice rang out clear, I hit each note of the haunting melody.

Mother and Father,
Keep your silence,
Keep your secrets,
But those of you with tongues,
sing my song.

Sons and daughters
Children of darkness
Raise your voices
Make a chorus
Let heaven hear us

Come together,
Brothers and sisters,
Come to me.

He did not stir, he did not wake. I found myself even more frustrated then before and for the first time in a long long while I found myself slightly doubting my ability to get through to him. Whenever I thought about these things I would brush them from my mind. Though now it was getting harder and harder to do this.

I was losing hope it had been a week and still I had yet to get through to him. "What is it that would save you." I pleaded with him. "You must tell me what to do." He never replied simply stared at me with those beautiful but blank eyes. On night I decided to try something else I knew of the film version of my books. It was very very different but nothing had seemed to work so I decided to try it. I bought the soundtrack and played it for him. I turned the volume up until it was defining. The walls shook with every pound of the bass.

We kiss
The Stars
We writhe
We are

I walked closer to him my bare feet treading softly on the wood floor. I knelt down beside him in his coffin and whispered his name slowly. 'Your name' My eyes ran over him slowly, it was strange how even in this coma-like sleep he remained so beautiful. 'Desire' I ran my hand over his bare arm and a slight shiver ran through my body. 'Your flesh' I stopped and looked at our skin together. We were the same, made from the same ancient blood. We were bonded together, for eternity. 'We are'

The next verse rang out even louder then the last. The singer becoming lost in the tremendous feeling that the song induced. 'Cold' My hand was still resting on his arm and I noticed that indeed he was. 'We're so cold' His arm now was colder than mine. It was colder then any of the others. Cool like rock and yet it couldn't be warmed. 'We are so' I brushed of the thought that this was like death feels like. He wasn't dead only sleeping. 'Cold' He could be awakened. 'We're so cold' He would be awakened.

Then I did something. I lent over him, and ran my tongue softly over my own lips moistening them. 'Your mouth' I went to say something my lips formed the words but nothing came out. 'This words' I gave up thinking and lowered my mouth to his. 'Silence' A lone tear slid slowly down my cheek as I pressed a firm yet brief kiss down upon him. 'It turns' I stood up quickly and started to leave. I was almost at the door when I heard a strange sound. 'Humming' It was so faint at first that I didn't really notice but it grew. I turned around in time to see him slowly rise from the coffin a strange grin on his face. 'We laugh' He looked around and flexed as if getting accustom to his body. He turned back and slowly walked towards me. I couldn't of spoken at that time, I was frozen to the spot. he reached me and put a hand behind my neck jerking me towards him. 'My head' His lips met mind violently. they were ripping not caressing and It felt good. It felt incredible. I moaned as he started licking and biting his way down my body his hands everywhere at once. I pushed him away momentarily looking at his face for a moment before leaning back in and licking my blood from his dark lips. That was all it took he was back on me double hard. He ripped my neck and hurriedly lapped from the fount gushing out of me. 'Falls back'

It takes allot for me to lose consciousness and that did it. I came to on a bed and I could sense his presence but it wasn't only him. There was a mortal in the room hiding somewhere. Louis came forward and met me with a kiss. it wasn't as desperate as earlier but it wasn't like Louis normally would have kissed. There was something different in his eyes as he greeted me grabbing a girl roughly by the hair.

"Thought you would need a boost, lover." He said throwing the red haired girl over to me. His tone was almost mocking but I was so very hungry. I could feel her heart beating against my chest. Every pulse pulled at me more and more drowning out threw rest of the world until it was just the two of us. I raised her head she looked a little familiar but I was to hungry to think that much about it. I normally had a fairly large degree of control but at the moment I didn't care. I sunk my teeth into her gasping when the sweet fluid filled my mouth. I gulped it down to have it instantly replaced by more. I was lost in the swoon her heart pumping her life into me. Until I started to see the images. They bombarded me demons, vampires, ghouls, witches, and a small blond girl that I recognized almost instantly.

I painfully pulled away and threw her body down. She lay on the ground, head thrown back, a dark red trickle ran slowly down onto the ground. That quickly ebbing stream pulled at me it took all my will power to jerk my head away from the body who's life was drifting away. Looked back towards Louis who smiled again at me waved and left. Leaving me alone with the dying girl.
