Carpe Noctum, Seize the Night
Hello, goodbye
(Maggy’s PoV)
The wind blows through my curly hair as I walk through the dark streets of New Orleans. It’s midnight, I think by myself as I hear the bells of a church nearby. Before you start preaching that it’s not safe for a woman to wander through a city alone at night, I know and I don’t care. I know how to defend myself and I don’t have a fear of the dark either. In fact, if it wasn’t for my obligations during the morning, I would stay awake almost the entire night and sleep until at least one in the afternoon. I hate mornings, thank god for coffee.
I’m pleasantly surprised when I hear someone call my name. I can recognize that voice immediately, it belongs to my friend David Talbot. I turn around with a smile but that smile fades when I see an unfamiliar your man instead of the old, British gentleman I had expected to see. How the hell did this strange dude knew my name?
“Excuse me?”
“ It’s me Maggy, David. David Talbot.
“ Yeah right,” I mutter before wanting to turn around. He stops me.
“You are Magdalena O’Hara, usually called Maggy. You’re twenty-seven, born and raised in New Orleans. The people you care for the most are Merrick Mayfair, Jesse Reeves, Aaron Lightner and me. You’re part-time Talamascan and studied the Mayfair witches with Aaron and vampires with me and Jesse.”
My mouth dropps. How could this stranger know all of this about me? Unless he was telling the truth...
Yes, I’m actually willing to believe this, I’ve seen stranger things in my life so far. I take a closer look at the guy standing before me and quickly gaze into his eyes. Even though I’ve never seen him before, there’s something about him that seems oddly familiar. I raise my hand and touch his check
“David?”
He smiles.
“Yes Mags? Oh my god David what happened to you?!” I scream before hugging him.
“So let me get this straight,” I say as we enter a house in the Rue Royale. “You switched bodies with a guy who steels them and you’re now forever young because the vampire Lestat, whom most people only know as a fictional character, made you a fledgling in your current body?”
“ Yes.”
“And you’re friends with him?”
“ Yes and Jesse and Merrick are too,” another voice answers me. I look around, see someone else standing in the doorway and realize this is the infamous Lestat de Lioncourt himself.
The blond hair, the blue eyes covered by violet glasses…He completely fits the description in his books. But he hasn’t shown up alone. There are three others standing behind him: a dark-haired guy with beautiful green eyes, undoubtedly Louis de Pointe du Lac and two women who are smiling at me. I let out a high pitched scream before running towards them.
“Merrick! Jesse! How have you been? Wait a minute, you two are paler than usual.’
“We’re vampires too. Don’t be afraid, we would never harm you.”
“ I know you wouldn’t,” I say with a shrug before hugging them.
“Wait, am I the only human here?”
“ I’m afraid so, love,” Louis says with a soft voice. “But as Jesse, said we would never harm you. David does have some bad news for you though.” I look over at my old friend. He sighs, looking sad.
“Aaron is dead.”
“What?!”
“He’s murdered and I have reason to believe you are in danger.”

This is a story I've just started writing. Since I'm busy now with reposting most of my old and my two current stories (about Bam Margera and Ville Valo) I don't know how regular I'll update this fanfic.
