<P> Claudia and Louis flee New Orleans and head to Europe, where Claudia's research has indicated vampiric activity . They are embittered and disillusioned when the only vampires they come across are mindless, unintelligent beasts who have no moral compass and are a far cry from the sophisticated vampires that Claudia and Louis are . Eventually, the two head to Paris to embrace civilization and find happiness again . The wedge between Louis and Claudia grows larger than ever as Claudia spirals even further into maddened fury at the torturing thought of being trapped within the body of a little girl forever . </P> <P> Everything changes when the two find the Théâtre des Vampires, a group of vampire mummers disguising themselves as humans playing vampires in a theatre onstage for a mortal audience . Claudia is repulsed by these vampires and what she considers to be their cheap theatrics . Santiago, a prominent figure among the vampire coven, suspects Claudia and Louis of killing their maker which is strictly against the rules of the vampire lifestyle . Eventually, Claudia and Louis meet Armand, a charming and handsome vampire who Louis becomes enchanted by . Armand falls in love with Louis, and Claudia hears Armand telling her telepathically to leave Louis as a companion . Feeling threatened, Claudia sinks into a sort of paranoid insanity, finally forcing Louis to create his first vampire, a woman named Madeleine, to care for Claudia when / if he leaves with Armand, severing ties between them, seemingly for good . </P> <P> Shortly after this, the Parisian vampires abduct the three of them and take them to the Théâtre des Vampires, where it is revealed that Lestat is alive and has sought revenge for Claudia's crimes against him . The punishment for any vampire who attempts to kill their own kind is immediate death . Lestat's plea to be allowed to take Louis away is ignored as Louis is sentenced to an eternity of starvation, locked inside a coffin . Though Louis's life is spared, Claudia and Madeleine are left to die in a room where they cannot escape exposure from the sun, which of course is fatal to any vampire . Claudia is burned to death and turned to ashes, her death spurs Louis - who has escaped his prison with Armand's help - into a hostile rage that inspires him to take vengeance on the vampires, torching the Théâtre des Vampires and setting it ablaze before killing all the vampires inside . He escapes the scene with Armand and the two vampires leave together . It is Claudia's death that finally turns Louis cold and away from his "mortal passion," a death that Armand forever mourns . </P> <P> More of Claudia's relationship with Lestat is revealed in Lestat's eponymous autobiography, where he describes her fondness for playing with her victims as he did, and his sorrow at the turn their relationship took . Still, he reiterates his statement made at the end of Interview with the Vampire, that Claudia "should never have been one of us ." </P>
