Oh I just loved the "if I turn you will you be mine?" Very skillfully woven, indeed a great tale.

Very nice! Good observation about the vamp ratios and the whys...

And cool for Guillermo... he already had that vamp appeal!

Bluedahlia3 - Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! (and you were right )

Yeah, not bad, for a human!

You guys are really stirring up my muses. Thank you so much!

Claudia’s interest was piqued, she wanted a taste of this brash gangster. She slipped behind the privacy screen with the small basin. There wasn’t much, but she savored that exquisite mouthful. Rage, defiance, and will bathed her senses. Mmm, courage – that heady mixture of fear and resolve… And there was lust; bloodlust – right down to his marrow. The tumultuous living cocktail was almost too much and Claudia began to swoon. She braced herself with one hand against the wall and held back tears. She couldn’t let this one go.

Wow -- I really like how you described her reaction to tasting G's blood. That was powerful. I kind of guessed that "Claudia" was the head Cleaner, but is that because of the real actress's name? For some reason I recall other fics naming the head cleaner Claudia too. Interesting.

And we do need more fics from the female vamp POV. Kudos to you for going there and doing it so well.

There is more to Claudia and Guillermo's story. ClaudiaMuse started talking and it was like, Really!?! Who would have thought? Now if a certain scribe would just finish the transcript.

Hi again,

I just read through the comments you got for this part already and can only see - I agree!! Finally a female vampire POV, and boy I understand the difficulties they would have with mortal men. (And the other way around, mortal women + vampire men- how will they ever settle for less afterwards?)

Thanks for giving Guillermo some more background! I'm interested to know what he would have felt about the movie(s) they made of his death...

[nutmegger911]

Hi Tam,
Exploring the lady vamp POV was a lot of fun. Claudia has more to say, I just need to get it all down. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Nutmegger

This is great!

You have given us such rich wonderful detail in Guillermo's backstory

Fabulous

[nutmegger911]

Thanks, Jen

Guillermo has quite a history he's told me about. Now if I could just get it posted.

Maybe this is just me, but when you named her Claudia, I immediately thought of Claudia Black who was the Lead Cleaner.

Also, there is the fabulous look at the trials and tribulations of vampire love, from the feminine perspective.

Thank you!

Jenna

[Marigold]

This was fantastic, Nutmegger!

I really like Claudia, and it was great to see some of her backstory.

Excellent point about the male-female vampire ratio. I never even thought about this, but what you wrote makes a lot of sense.

Guillermo has quite a history he's told me about. Now if I could just get it posted.

Did you ever post the story? I'd love to read it!

Thank you!

[nutmegger911]

Thanks, ladies, for commenting - especially on the POV. For some reason Claudia Muse found a voice and was willing to share.

Jen - Thank you so much. You are always so supportive of my little stories. And yes, Claudia and Molly have their names for a reason.

Marigold - I actually did start writing the rest of the story and then got side tracked. Maybe I'll see if I can find it and beg a beta to help me get going again on this one. Thanks for inspiring me.

This story does raise a bunch of questions about the relationship between G and Claudia. I wonder why he decided to become an ME? I guess it meshes pretty well with the Cleaners.

Whatever her reasoning, I'm glad she turned him. And I'm glad he decided to take on the persona of Guillermo.
