Nicolas sighted, keeping his hands in Eleni’s gentle grip. No. Tiago would not go mad and it wasn’t an infatuation he had developed “I won’t make others. I don’t need others. I only wanted him. My Santiago. I watched him. It’s not something that hit me one night. I saw him come here before. I read his poems. I felt his heart! Eleni, I felt in love with him! With his heart. With his hopes, his dreams, with his pain and his sadness. I felt in love with all of it” he didn’t know what else he could add yet he feared.he feared Armand with all his might because he knew what he was capable of.
“Do it according to the rites? Like it was done with me, Eleni? When all of you feed on me? Would you allow the rites on someone you love because I can’t. I couldn’t allow it. I couldn’t bear it to see him suffer. I couldn’t stand there and watch him go through the pain n of dieing and not being there for him” he rose his head sighting miserably as he couldn’t sense Tiago. Not with the whole maker and fledgling barrier “Don’t allow him to hurt Tiago” Nicolas couldn’t explain why he felt this so intense. He didn’t feel it like this with Lestat and between them laid years of mortal love, he shared Lestat’s blood and still. Something inside him was still broken over Lestat. He kept quiet over what Eleni said about Lestat. He didn’t know how he could explain them that he had chosen a dignified way for him to part from Lestat. The split was there. Lestat was going to leave either way and Nicolas had felt he belonged to the theater, to the Coven, to Armand. Even though he had been the unlucky choice “I know I’m not like you are. Maybe I am mad but I am not mad in the way you think I am” he felt trapped inside this room when everything inside him cried to barge through the door and look for Santiago “I wish I was dealt with something else. Indifference, for example. Detachment. I feel and I feel you all and it’s exhausting and I can’t turn it off. I wish I could but whatever I am and you all think I am, don’t stigmatized Tiago with it” for what was worth, Nicolas felt resigned in the wake of what Armand was preparing for him. He had heard of the old punishments. They made him cringe. The floggings, the taking of fangs, entombment “I know my words have little value but perhaps you can see the truth in my mind or in my heart” Nicolas meet Eleni’s gaze.
Eleni watched him carefully. "Perhaps not in that manner exactly, Nicolas, but at least let him be approved by the coven master! You usurped Armand's control, and now he has to regain it however he can. Or others will start doing the same, don't you understand? Don't you understand how dangerous this was?" She reached out, touching his arms. "Oh, Nicolas, I wish you'd just waited. One night, Nicolas, you've known this man for one night, and you threw away everything that we were trying to build here. You have to think things through and stop reacting to everything with your heart, mon ami."
She placed a hand on his chest, watching him. "Nicolas, I cannot stop Armand. You know this. None of us can. He is the Coven Master, and if he is to maintain order, he must enforce the rules. I do not know what his punishments will be, but I do know that you and Santiago will both have to endure whatever it is. Can you do that, Nicolas? I do not think he will destroy Santiago." At least she desperately hoped not. If Armand destroyed him, then it would break Nicolas completely. He was already cracking on the edges.
"I do not doubt your love for this one, Nicolas. But you must have known there would be consequences." She looked at him sympathetically. "If you weren't prepared to face them, then perhaps you should not have returned with him. You could have gone, taken him someplace else and then returned later. Just to give Armand a bit of... time." She touched his face. "Oh dear boy. I wish there was something I could do or say to make this go away..."

Nicolas circled the study he had been sent to, feeling like a lion trapped inside. The uncertainty ahead killed him and he feared. He feared Armand's ruling. No. It could not happen. He had pull inside this theater. The hell he had. He just came back with a fresh fledgling without asking consent from Armand. Like that would had ever happened. And if it would happen, would Armand want it to be done according to the rites? No. He could not bare to do that to Santiago. Not like that. Never like that. Fire. For the law breaker and his progeny. The old law came to his mind on and on and Nicolas felt like he would break through from this room, go and retrieve his lover from their clutches. They wouldn't harm him. They wouldn't do what they've done to him.
He had played the smart card. Provide arguments why they should accept Santiago, what he meant for him and now Nicolas was left to wait for judgment. His train of thoughts broke when he heard a move behind the door and a familiar face coming inside.
"Where is he? Tell Armand, I accept any penance he can come up with. I accept anything but he will not harm Santiago. Eleni, I beg you, tell me he is fine because I swear to you, I will go mad if something happens to him and I will take everyone with me" well, he wished everything came much calmer but the waiting game was agonizing "Please, let him harm me not him" he stood before Eleni waiting for any news that would provide hope.
Eleni shook her head, bowing it slowly. "Oh, Nicolas. You do not know what you have done. You have proven that you are a liability. You made one, yes, but what is to stop you now from making more?" Eleni tried desperately to get him to understand. He had proven that he could not obey Armand's edicts. And Armand worried that it would happen again, and again.
"Then you should have come to us! Appealed for his turning, not done it without any sort of preparation. That is how things happen in a coven, Nicolas. You must run it by our leader first." How could she make him understand. "Instead, you impulsively turned him and now it may be the end of you both." She hoped that Armand would not destroy Nicolas. Eleni had grown quite fond of him, truly.
"You fell in love? You knew him for all of one night, Nicolas! If every vampire turned every human that they found appealing or beautiful, that they felt attracted to, we would be overrun with vampires." She took hold of his hands as he reached out for her. "Nicolas, you acted impulsively. This is what the danger is, child. You cannot afford to be so impulsive. You must think things through." She bit her lip lightly, not enough to draw blood, but hearing Nicolas speak against Lestat so... "You wanted him to leave, remember, Nicolas?" She watched Nicolas carefully.
"I do not know what the punishment will be. Only Armand can decide that, it is not my place." She reached up, touching his hair gently. "Oh, Nicolas... I hope that he is not too harsh upon you. Or your young one. I know you did not do it to harm anyone, but it can be a danger to us all. What if he goes mad? Some young ones do. Just as you did. Some even worse. I have seen young ones turned that became completely feral and had to be put down. That is why humans must be observed before they can be turned. For a long period of time, not merely one night. The old ways may seem barbaric to you, Nicolas, but they work. There is a reason the method was used for centuries...”

What had Nicolas been thinking? Bringing home a brand new vampire after having been gone for a few days? Armand had been up in arms - and so had she, truthfully. She was glad that he had come home, but wary of the new vampire that he had brought. She approached Armand’s chambers where Nicolas had been instructed to wait.
She opened the door and watched Nicolas turn to face her and immediately demand to know where ‘he’ was. “Who, Nicolas? Armand? Your new - fledgling?” She sighed softly, reaching out to touch Nicolas’s shoulder. “You know that Armand does as he pleases. I do not think, however, that he intends the youngling harm. Laurent has taken quite a liking to him, you know. And you know how Armand always listened to Laurent.”
She offered a smile that she hoped was comforting. “Why did you do it, Nicolas? You know Armand forbade it. Why did you do this? If he hurts the youngling, then it is because you disobeyed. What will I tell Lestat if Armand hurts you? Nicolas, what will it do to me? To the rest of us? You are our family now. Why did you do this, Nicolas?”

"And I thought you'd never ask. Again" Nicolas grinned pulling gently Eleni close to him and together, following the music that kept playing "Our theater lives once again" he said as he followed the rhythm of the song, the stage almost set for the first performance of the evening.
“Ah, how could I not ask you to dance again?” Eleni smiled, resting a hand on his shoulder as he accepted her hand. She could not help the curiosity that crossed her face at his revelation, however. “What do you mean, the theater lives again?”

Character Development Questions
“When I was taken from Rhoshamandes’s enclave. When our little coven was ripped apart. I was terrified. How could I not be? Ripped away from my Maker, my Siblings. I could hear their suffering. Suffering with me as I suffered, in darkness. Pain. Hunger. I was so very afraid. Were they going to kill us? Would my Siblings live? Would I?” A soft sigh escapes her lips slowly. “I feared for myself. I feared for Eugenie. I even feared for Allesandra. And later I would fear for Everard. We were all of us broken. Torn apart, forced into servitude… and I would remain in a constant state of terror for centuries as I watched my Siblings be destroyed slowly.” Eyes slowly rimmed in red, though she did not allow the tears to fall.
“Allesandra… she was the worst. She lost all sense of who she was before we were taken. And she took that out on us all, Everard especially. He had but to look at her wrong and she would attack him. My poor Everard.” A soft, sad smile crosses her features. “My fear was lessened greatly when he escaped. I did not have to fear for his life anymore. For his sanity. He was free.”
