Two hundred years later, in San Francisco, Louis tells a reporter how he became a vampire. Throughout his story, Louis expressed his desperation to survive and to see that he has no choice but to take people's life, something that causes great uneasiness.
In the course of history, they find a girl next to her mother's rotting corpse. Lestat calls her Claudia (Kirsten Dunst), who by mistake and misfortune Louis transforms into a vampire. Claudia falls in love with Louis after several years of to living with him and Lestat. Louis is convinced that their mutual affection is that of a father and daughter, but eventually they become lovers.
Claudia eventually becomes furious with Lestat after realizing that she'll never grow up.

One night he meets other Vampires under a bridge, Santiago and Armand, who run a theathre known as Theatre des Vampires. Armand invites Louis and Claudia to his coven where he offers Louis a place to stay as long as Claudia leaves him. Lous refuses to leave Claudia and on his way out he is warned by Santiago that the other vampires know that she murdered Lestat and would take revenge.

The next morning Louis is saved by Armand and tries to save Claudia, but it's too late as she has been burnt to ashes. Louis takes revenge by burning all vampires while they sleep. Armand helps him escape and once again offers him a place by his side, Louis, realizing Armand was behind Claudia's murder refuses and leaves him.
