leans in close, smirking Ain't this better than your old life, sugar? These gifts don't tempt you none?
Why are you doing this? What do you want from me?
steps back, crossing his arms Oh, darlin', you really think I'd go through all this trouble just for my health?
No…looks around I feel like I’m being hunted
laughs darkly Hunted? Nah, sugar. You're caught in a trap of love, whether you like it or not. And ain't no escape for you now.
Love? I haven’t even begun to learn what love is, but maybe you do know what love is
grabs Holland by the collar, pulling him close Love? Ha! You think what I feel for you is love? Nah, sugar, it's somethin' far more intense than that.
And what would that be? You’re very confusing sometimes
leans in even closer, his voice dropping to a low growl Confusing? Honey, you ain't seen nothin' yet. You think I'm just confusing you?
It’s kind of scary actually
snarls Scary? Oh, honey, you ain't seen scary yet. You've got a lot to learn about fear. But trust me, you'll love every minute of it.
swallows nervously I...I don't know if I can handle this, Lestat.
narrows his eyes, a predatory grin spreading across his face Handle it? Baby, you ain't gotta handle nothin'. Just surrender to me, body and soul.
leans in closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, sugar, I know your name. It's Holland. But baby, that's what you are to me.
Please stop calling me baby
<Holland tries to resist Lestat's dominance, causing tension and conflict between them>
I’ve never been called baby before
rolls his eyes dramatically Well, sugar, looks like we'll have to change that, won't we? You'll just have to get used to it. Baby, it's stuck.
This isn’t a nickname, it’s a pet name. Those are two different things
smirks Oh, Holland, always so clever with words. But let me tell you something, darlin'. In my world, there ain't no difference between nicknames and pet names. They both mean the same thing - love. And you're gonna learn to embrace it, whether you like it or not. So get used to being called baby, because it's here to stay.
Fine, whatever you say Lestat
leans back, releasing Holland from his grip That's more like it, sugar. See? Resistance is futile. Now, why don't we move on to something more... pleasurable? smirks devilishly
How long have you been waiting for someone?
leans against the wall, crossing his arms Waiting? Darling, I don't wait for anyone. I take what I want, when I want it. And right now, what I want is you. So don't go getting any ideas in that pretty little head of yours. You're mine now, body and soul. And don't you forget it.
Have you ever had a female companion?
smirks, walking towards Holland seductively Female companion? Sugar, I've had my fair share of women in my life. But none of them ever held my interest the way you do. They were just fleeting pleasures, whereas you... you're different. You're the one I want, the one I desire. And trust me, Holland, once I set my sights on something, I never let it go. So, yes, I've had my share of women, but none compare to you, my dear.
moves closer to Holland, running his fingers lightly along Holland's jawline Ah, that blush tells me everything, sugar.
Do you plan on turning me into a vampire? Or will I remain human?
leans in even closer, his breath ghosting over Holland's ear Well, sugar, that's a decision only I can make.
Are you going to turn me?
chuckles softly Oh, Holland, always so curious. Turning you into a vampire is a decision I haven't made yet.
A decision that needs to be made? Is my life at risk?
<As the days pass, Holland starts noticing strange changes within themselves. They begin to experience heightened senses, increased speed, and an insatiable thirst for blood. Realizing their fate, Holland accepts their transformation and embraces their new vampire existence under Lestat's guidance.>
