Louis returns home, incredibly sick. As he lay in bed, the vampire enters the room and Louis pulls a gun on him, demanding to know why he's there. The vampire says that he's here to answer Louis' prayers, and offers him a new life. Louis seems hesitant, but Lestat assures him that he'll give him a choice, and leads him away to talk.
