When I walk over to her…..she is gone…all I feel is a flurry of wind……
This bothered me for days. Did someone cast a spell on me? Was I being haunted? Are those drunken backroom whispers are they right? Is death openly chasing you here…more than any other place? New Orleans had one of the highest murder rates in the country…was I next? Was I finally gonna get what I wanted? Did I really want death…..it was so close now. I thought I was starting to chicken out.
The thought hit me on the way to work. I came down here to die. If you invite death more than once…chance was death was going to accept your invitation…it was the proper thing to do…polite even….
So I let death read my mind because I knew death could. I let my brain do all my talking. “You want me.” I said. “You want to take my soul, go ahead…there is nothing…I have no fear….I have no care…if this world got vaporized, if volcanoes suddenly erupted and everything got pulled under I wouldn’t care.”
What I had not expected was for death to answer me back. I didn’t expect to hand out flyers and hear that soft voice like caramel in my head. Asking me why did I feel this way.
“Why do you want death so much? You are so young and fresh….why would you want your time line to stop…don’t you realize the final act of what it is you are asking?”
The tourists are waiting for the pamphlets. I look around and the lights of the Quarter are glittering under the darkness of the sky. This voice I think as I hand them the pamphlets, the voice only comes at night….
“Of course silly…I can’t travel by day…..”
“Why not?” I whisper.
“Because I am already dead……”
“Are you a ghost….?”
“Answer me this question first….why do you want to die so bad?”
“Because life has no meaning for me anymore……”
“Shane…… turn around………”
So I turn around. And there she is. The eyes the hair. She was gorgeous. A dead thing so beautiful but dead. Her skin was pale despite her tan. Her eyes they are too glassy, her skin feels soft but not warm and not cold.

Another new story! How lucky can we all get? Number 1, I love vampire shit. Number 2, I love Sharmen. Number 3, I love New Orleans. This is good. You are well on your way to becoming the master of the AU writers. In my opinion, you already are.
Wow you made my day! So thrilled you started another one of your so far truly, truly amazing fics and I see no reason, after reading this first part, to doubt that this one wouldn’t be!
Everyone’s said it all. Love all your AU’s. I know I’ll love this one. Sharmen vamps, Excellent.
