Yes I know Marius is crazy for letting me in his house. He really should know better. This feels wierd, this talking to myself. No one will probaly read this unless I force them to. I hope I dont get in trouble for borrowing him from Anne Rice. I could just as easily make up a name for him but that might actually make sense so therefore I will not. If I get in trouble I will change his name and not mention his background. I like his personality and that is why I used him. It makes sense for the position. Do I need another disclaimer?????? I own very little and certainly not Marius or the Motts applesauce company. That would be a very good thing to own! I mean how often does someone get a ton of money and all the apple sauce you could eat? Weird topics anyone?

I followed the very human yet inhuman being through the well light rooms. These rooms had extrodinary artifacts littered through out them. It is not cluttered yet the displays are quite random. You might find a book on the works of Salvador Dali along side a very ancient looking mace on one shelf. Then on the wall to one side of a hallway there might be a unknown classical piece showing the gods Aries and a man their might be a enlarged photo collection of skyscrapers in New Yok City.

When it dawned on me that I was visiting Marius the first thing to come to my mind was that this was a vampire! A real vampire that I had read about in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. If what the books had said were true and Marius was really this man I feel that I have little to fear. He has little reason to kill me. Plus that doesn't seem to be his objective at all. Not the way that he smiles at me. He has something important to tell but I don't know wether or not he will be entirely truthful. Not with that Mona Lisa smile he has at the moment. Right as I was thinking this Marius pointed out a lovely set of jade chairs in the middle of a gigantic circular shaped room. the entire wall was a mural covered with figures of heaven and hell. The devil was over one door frame and god the other which they had entered through. The floors were entirely mosaic. In the center there was a gigantic silver fountain of water. Red water mind you. and what was even better was that this red water ran through some of the crevaces of the mosaic flooring. The ceiling was covered with scarlet colored fabrics which also draped over the silver door frames.

"It must have taken you years to contrive this room, Marius. It is so fasinating."

"It did. I am glad that you admire it for I have yet to show it to Lestat. I made it for him." I started to stare at him with credulity. He gives me his mind warping smile. I settle down from the idea of there being a Lestat. Even though I was looking right at proof. He points again at the jade chair to the left of the fountain. The hellish side. "Please sit down we have much to discuss."

And I did.

"Thank you, Rachel. I will anwser what ever questions you may have now. I must tell that I never lie but while this is true I cannot awnser all questions that you may ask. It may effect the outcome of your fate, child. What is it that you wish to ask?"

"Where am I? What am I doing here? Do you have any food I'm hungry? And what exactly do you mean by influencing fate? Can I have some clothes to wear? I am cold still. What about Lestat? He actually exists? Do you live here alone? And is that red water suppose to represent blood? You know like the life force of people. The lives of people interconnecting betwix god and the devil or heaven and hell? That is what I get from this room. It seems more like my style. We are alike in artistic tastes I think. Lots of people hate mine because they find it negative but really it is just the truth......"

He smiled again at me and puts his hand up and starts laughing at me. Not in a negative way. I guess he is either nearly angelic or it is just that in my eyes he can do no wrong. Either way I am entirely infactuated and incessantly blabbing about this nearly omnipotent man. I know he sees my envy for him he can read minds if it wasnt already a blatant fact. "Fine than obviously you have more than a few questions. Yet I feel I obligated to quell your requisitions since I have brought you here. I shall bring you to the baths and display my hospitality with a robe and a meal."

"Nothing would please me more than to accept your kindness."

He leads me down the corridor that led out of the beautiful room by the hell door.
