    Summary

    It's only when she watched Madeleine become a vampire that she finally understood it.

    She saw a childhood the way it could be, the experiences of a teenager and young woman that Claudia had to fight every step of the way to have. The good, the bad, the ugly. And now she sees a beautiful vampiress open her yellow eyes on the table, trembling but brave. And it's not Claudia's story, but she tucks it inside of her to keep anyway.

    or: In the wake of Madeleine's turning, Claudia reflects.

    Summary

    Madeleine has taken to the gift like a duck to water. That's my woman, I knew she would. She likes to learn from me, and I like to teach her. I'm a good teacher, I think. A kind one. We bound about the fields surrounding the cottage, practicing her new vampiric speed, jumping around from tree to tree and rolling over each other like kittens. There hasn't been a day since we arrived where my cheeks haven't ached from smiling.

    Summary

    She tries to write on herself as well, dragging the pen wildly over her legs and across her arms, gouging deep into her stomach. It's no good, the wounds keep healing, stitching themselves back together like that awful piece of flesh between her legs. From the surface, nothing's gone wrong.

    Summary

    They take off from the bloodied train car and shoot straight up, like an arrow aimed at the sky. The clouds splash against her skin, beads of water knotting in her hair and sliding down her cheeks like fresh tears.

    Summary

    "It's gonna be okay," Louis says. "We're free, remember? We're all right. You did good."

    "Fuck you." Her voice is a stranger's, flat and dead. "I should've bought an extra dose of arsenic and laudanum for you, you know that?" She regrets the words as soon as she's said them, even though she shouldn't regret a thing. "You make me sick."

    Summary

    "Everything dies." Daciana laps at her throat with a shining tongue and Claudia can feel her own blood sizzling, red bubbles popping inside her. "Immortality is just another fairytale, child. Didn't your fathers didn't tell you that?"

    Summary

    What matters is the metal under her hands, pressing into her skin, steady and sure. The higher Claudia goes the more it creaks under her weight, but she's light enough she knows it won't break, a sharp-beaked bird perched in her iron tree.

    Summary

    And they'd all been laughing, slapping her back so hard she almost fell over, tossing jokes back and forth, smiling, proud. Like it really hadn't occurred to them, or to their fucking Maitre, why this might have been a bad idea.

    "Don't like windows--" Claudia brings her shoes down hard, the vibration rumbling through her calves. In the audience she can see Madeleine's red hair glinting, her eyes darkly watchful. 'When they're closed!"

    It's the x on the map, the crush of gravity, ugly as an egg dropped from an airplane. Claudia couldn't break it if she tried, and all the gods and devils help her, she's tried.

    Summary

    The girl coughs, a bubble of blood popping on her lip, scratched-up throat rippling. Claw marks from some wild thing, maybe, only there are human-shaped fingerprints fading on her legs, crawling over her like spiders.

    Summary

    “You want something from me,” she said, looking up.

    Claudia stood by the window, in her usual place, framed in lamplight and shadow. Her silhouette had become familiar now. Small. Precise. Still. “I gave you the truth,” she said without turning. “That’s all I got to give.”

    “No,” Madeleine refuted. “Not all.” Her hands were steady, though her heart was not.

    Claudia’s eyes met hers -- those deep, unreadable eyes, dark and bright at once, like cathedral windows catching light from some unseen blaze. “You already know.”

    (or the conversations before Claudia brings Madeleine to Louis).

    Summary

    The invitation had been pure impulse — a predator’s instinct to keep its prey close. She hadn’t expected Madeleine to accept, just as she hadn’t expected her to sit with the audience that night, watching the grotesque play.

    (Claudia goes on that motorcycle ride with Madeleine and starts a dangerous waltz of longing and predation.)
