    Summary

    When Santino and Allesandra approach Amadeo this time, he flings himself at them immediately. Santino almost flinches back at the suddenness of the movement, but Amadeo falls against Allesandra instead of attacking. Instead of trying to sink his claws or teeth into her, he begins to cry into her chest.

    Or, a choice to do nothing is still a choice, and no one intends to choose to save Amadeo.

    Summary

    Sometimes, the thought of being eaten alive is a comforting daydream to drift off into. It's better than the reality of being pointlessly consumed, of being torn apart not for nourishment but for the sake of a lesson taught instead. When Santino looks at him sadly, telling him he wishes it could be different, he is content to imagine being drained dry while listening to the squeaking of the rats that lap up his blood. At least the rats would be honest in their hunger.

    Or, Armand discovers that it is easy to become nothingness underground.

    Summary

    The file is heavy and over full of paperwork. It looks like they just jammed assessment scores, IEP meeting notes, foster home documents, and anything else that could possible be relevant in there and called it a day. Jesus, nobody actually reads all this shit do they?

    Amadeo –– DOB: 11/11/2001, SID#: 15351973 –– attends high school.

    A multimedia story told through academic and personal documents.

    Summary

    The early years of Armand's Children of Darkness leadership goes a dramatically different way.

     

    And above all else, Armand was good at crushing things together with his hands and forcing them to remain still. So why was the dead boy's name haunting him now? A name so blasphemous it never should have been even spoken by the one who gave it, much less given to Armand. Armand had successfully banished that name for what, sixty, seventy years now? But all of a sudden it followed him on the wind nightly, a one-word affront to the order of the universe. And it kept growing.

     

    Amadeo, Amadeo, Amadeo. He would have to tell Allesandra, maybe even have to send word to Rome. This was untenable. Amadeo. Something was digging awful fingers into his ribs, tearing about in his guts. He could not abide it or allow it to continue. Amadeo. Amadeo. It stank horribly of love.

    Summary

    Daniel does not understand why Armand still has fond feelings about his time in Venice. Armand explains by telling his story.

     

    "You know nothing of Amadeo. Louis knew nothing of Amadeo, Lestat knew nothing. Even Marius did not know him, Marius who was always painting an angel's face over his. No. Everyone who knew Amadeo is dead. I alone carry him, when he is anything more than ashes in the dark."

    Summary

    Leader of the Roman coven Santino stops the heretic Marius’s self indulgent fledgling Amadeo from being burned for his sins when he discovers the potential he has inherent in his humility, his obedience, and his remarkable strength.

    (I was speculating about Armand’s backstory in amc iwtv and re reading some of the vampire Armand and cooked this little thing up)
