The Vampire Chronicles: Gabrielle de Lioncourt

She seemed dimly fascinated by all of this, but it didn’t really matter to her. What mattered to her was what lay before her now. And when her death was finished, she was unstoppable. There was no wall that she could not climb, no door she wouldn’t enter, no rooftop terrain too steep. It was as if she did not believe that she would live forever; rather she thought she had been granted this one night of supernatural vitality and all things must be known and accomplished before death would come for her at dawn.
