Short filmTranscript
00:04300 years ago, at my wedding to Julian, he attacked me, desperate for the drop of precious progenital blood on
00:11my body.
00:14He left me for dead, and slaughtered my entire family.
00:19As I lay dying, I was found by the vampire prince, Cassius.
00:24He took me home. He cherished me.
00:28My weakness, my lost power, known of it mattered.
00:33He even threw us a lavish wedding.
00:36When I became pregnant against all odds, he fed me his own blood every day, even though it weakened him.
00:44I thought he was my salvation.
00:48Until today, when I overheard him talking to his underarm.
00:52Parasite is nearly whole. 300 years of waiting are finally over.
00:56Soon Lilith will be reborn in her womb, and I can finally give her the perfect immortal body she deserves.
01:04And Lady Selina?
01:06She's just the vessel.
01:08Lilith saved me.
01:10I owe her everything.
01:11Once Lilith is born, I'll drain every last drop of ancient blood from Selina's body and give Lilith true immortality.
01:30I stood outside Cassius' study, listening. A chill crept up from my feet and settled deep in my heart.
01:40Strange.
01:42Strange.
01:42Vampires don't feel the cold.
01:44300 years of a loving marriage.
01:46All of it.
01:47An elaborate lie.
01:48I thought back to that night.
01:50300 years ago.
01:51My formal feelings.
01:53Lilith.
01:54Betrayed me at our wedding.
01:55Stole the sacred progenitor blood from my veins.
01:58And massacred my entire clone.
02:00And now, history was repeating itself.
02:04I had fallen into a man's trap.
02:06Again.
02:07Inside the study, the conversation continued.
02:12Isn't that a bit cruel, my lord?
02:14After all, she's been the prince's wife for three centuries.
02:17That title was always meant for Lilith.
02:19I let her enjoy it for 300 years.
02:22Besides, if I hadn't found her, she would have died at Julian's hand anyway, wouldn't she?
02:27What if she finds out?
02:31She won't.
02:32She's too in love with me.
02:34Even if she suspects something, she won't dare believe it.
02:36And now she's addicted to my blood and the elixirs.
02:40She can't survive without them.
02:43She won't.
02:45She's too in love with me.
02:47Even if she suspects something, she won't dare believe it.
02:49And now she's addicted to my blood and the elixirs.
02:53She can't survive without me.
02:55I covered my mouth and stumbled back to my room, shaking.
02:58My handmaid, Clara, brought in two goblets.
03:02One held Cassius's blood.
03:04The other, the special elixir he'd found for me, said to protect the fetus and help it grow strong.
03:11My lady, the prince is so good to you.
03:13He specifically told me to watch you drink them every day.
03:16Good to me.
03:17I touched my swollen belly, and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
03:22When he first saved me, I had almost no power, more fragile than a human.
03:27Cassius fed me so much of his own blood, and even used his precious heart's blood to mend my spirit.
03:34Later, when I mourned for my clan, he spared no expense, building me a perfect replica of the castle I
03:40grew up in.
03:41He kissed my forehead back then, whispering softly.
03:45I would do anything to see you happy.
03:49That was why I fell for him.
03:51It's why I was willing to risk everything for him.
03:54Even the near impossible danger of a vampire pregnancy.
04:05But now I see it.
04:10It wasn't me he cherished.
04:12It was my body, the vessel.
04:14Suddenly, all the things that never quite made sense clicked into place.
04:19No wonder he was moved to tears when I became pregnant.
04:22No wonder this child, which should have taken two centuries to turn, was nearly due after only one.
04:30I grabbed the goblet of blood, and drained it and then go.
04:34As for the oven, I poured it onto the floor.
04:38My lady! What are you-
04:40Shhh!
04:42Trust me. Don't say a word.
04:48She looked at the resolve in my eyes and finally nodded.
04:51She was half vampire.
04:53Her father was one of my own.
04:55Cut down with the rest of my clan.
04:57Her loyalty was absolute.
04:59My belly clenched again as the thing inside me moved.
05:03More violently this time.
05:04As if it were desperate to claw to me out.
05:10My belly clenched again as the thing inside me moved.
05:12More violently this time.
05:15As if it were desperate to claw its way out.
05:19Can't wait to get out?
05:21Too bad.
05:23Your little plan is about to go up in smoke.
05:25I went to my vanity and pulled an old map from the back of a drawer.
05:29I found it.
05:30The Sunstone Sanctuary.
05:32A forbidden place for our kind.
05:35Rumored to be filled with deadly, sacred light.
05:37But it was also the only place that could purify a corrupt soul.
05:41If I could survive its holy fire.
05:43I could kill the parasite in my womb for God.
05:46I would rather die than be a pawn in Cassius' game.
05:50I stared at my reflection.
05:52A fire of vengeance burning in my eyes.
05:55I swore an oath.
05:56If I survived the holy fire.
05:59I would burn the crimson cork to ash.
06:02And I would make Cassius pay a price he would never forget.
06:05For all eternity.
06:11And I would make Cassius pay a price he would never forget.
06:14For all eternity.
06:17Just as I hid the map.
06:19A sharp, tearing pain ripped through my abdomen.
06:22Something inside me was thrashing wildly.
06:27I couldn't let it grow unchecked.
06:29I had to suppress it.
06:31I desperately called upon what little remained of my ancient bloodline's power.
06:35Trying to cage the parasite in my womb.
06:38A spray of black blood erupted from my mouth.
06:41Splattering across the delicate silver music box on my vanity.
06:45It was a gift from Cassius for our 100th wedding anniversary.
06:51I wrote this melody for you.
06:53So whenever you hear it, you'll remember the beautiful moment we first met.
06:58I had been moved to tears.
06:59And I treasured it.
07:01How ironic.
07:02I reached for the music box.
07:05Ready to hurl it into the fireplace.
07:07Just as my fingers were about to release it.
07:10The door flew open.
07:22Athena!
07:27...
07:27I heard you cry out, what happened?
07:30Cassius rushed in.
07:31His eyes immediately locking on to the music box in my hand.
07:35His face paled.
07:37It's nothing, just the baby kicking a little hard.
07:43you know i was just thinking the diamonds on this box are lovely why don't we have them reset
07:48into a new piece of jewelry my tastes have changed a bit since becoming pregnant no i want to save
07:54this box for save it for who
08:04for for our child it has sentimental value a lie that is not what he was about to say
08:11a tide of fury washed over me and i lost all control with all my might i threw the music
08:17box toward the fireplace cassius screamed and without a second thought he plunged his hand
08:25into the roaring flames to snatch it back the fire engulfed his hand the smell of burning flesh
08:31filling the air but he seemed to feel no pain his only concern to protect the box
08:41but he seemed to feel no pain his only concern to protect the box when he pulled it from the
08:47fire
08:48one corner was char revealing the inscription inside to lilith my eternal beloved
08:55i laughed a bitter mocking sound of course the music box was never for me
09:01the token of love i had cherished for 300 years was a gift for another woman
09:07hate and humiliation consumed me i swept all the jewelry cassius had ever given me off
09:13a vanity and onto the floor this is all for her isn't it i'm just a substitute a vessel
09:20selaine what are you doing calm down he didn't listen just kept growing his son called mementos
09:27into the fire finally cassius's mask of tenderness

09:52he wanted to lock me his pregnant wife in that place seeing my pale face cassius's voice softened
09:59again selena listen to me stop this foolishness
10:05i'll give you anything you want new jewelry my heart burning with pure hatred he tried to soothe me
10:13but i just closed my eyes refusing to look at him i even knocked the goblet of blood he offered
10:19me from his hand it splattered all over him and the last shred of tenderness vanished from his face
10:26fine have it your way
10:33take her away the silver cells were in the castle's deepest dungeon their walls forged from pure silver
10:40for a vampire it was hell on earth the heavy silver door slammed shut and i collapsed onto the freezing
10:47floor
10:57the guard was a grim faced bloodthroth he looked at me with what might have been pity my lady
11:03why must you provoke the master just then a wave of powerful evil energy surged from the enemy to my
11:12horror i saw the guard's normal gaze turned vacant his lips twisted into a bizarre cruel smile and his
11:20voice became sharp and grating finally i can finally control things out here that wasn't the guard's voice
11:29your soul was already strong enough to possess a human bloodthroth's eyes turned vicious with a wicked
11:35grin he grabbed me and slammed me onto a rack covered in silver spikes
11:41her soul was already strong enough to possess a human the bloodthroth's eyes turned vicious with a
11:48wicked grin he grabbed me and slammed me onto a rack covered in silver spikes the silver spikes pierced
11:54my skin and agony shot through me i was pinned to the rack unable to move
12:02ah what exquisite pain you know for the last hundred years in your room i've had to endure
12:09every moment of you and cassius's intimacy now it's your turn to taste a little pain
12:15you you parasite the brand seared a black mark onto my arm the pain was so intense i nearly blacked
12:23out
12:24parasite i'm just taking back what's mine casein was always mine she used the thrall's hands to pick
12:32up a silver dagger then slowly carved the word for into the flesh of my other arm the silver blade
12:39sizzled against my skin look at this beautiful wound listen to that lovely scream and the smell of
12:47burning flesh so delightful you should feel honored to give everything for my rebirth
12:55look at this beautiful wound listen to that lovely scream and the smell of burning flesh so delightful
13:03you should feel honored to give everything for my rebirth the torment was absolute my heart hammered
13:11against my ribs threatening to stop at any moment my vision blackened my consciousness fading just as i
13:18was about to pass out cassius in his chambers suddenly woke from his sleep he glanced at the moonlit
13:25window then at the empty space beside him in the bed a strange unease washed over him
13:34go to the silver cells and check us alone i've prepared her favorite ruby necklace if she's ready to
13:39apologize let her out that thrall also secretly under lilith's control bowed respectfully
13:46a moment later he returned master the lady is still throwing attention she refuses to see you and
13:54said some very unpleasant things cassius's face darkened if she's not sorry then let her rot down
14:01there until she comes to her senses meanwhile in the silver cells i had completely lost consciousness
14:09sensing her host's life force fading lilith was forced to stop the torture she needed me alive at least
14:16until the moment of her birth a warm energy flowed from my womb mending my damaged heart she was feeding
14:24her own power back into me she needed me alive at least until the moment of her birth a warm
14:37energy
14:37flowed from my womb mending my damaged heart she was feeding her own power back into me just enough to
14:45keep my heart beating pain pulled me back to reality i opened my eyes to find myself still tied to
14:51the rack
14:52my body covered in wounds awake good that was just the appetizer now for the main course a violent slam
15:02came from my belly as if something was trying to tear its way up every impact was agony feel that
15:10selena
15:10it's me feel that that's for the hundred years you've restrained and suppressed me now i'm going to make
15:17you pay back a hundred times over for every ounce of cass's affection you enjoyed every kiss every sweet
15:23word they were all meant for me far away in his chambers cassius felt a phantom pain and shot upright
15:29in
15:29my heart
15:34master what's wrong
15:39i thought i hurt you never mind probably a nightmare selena is stubborn maybe then she'll learn not to be
15:47so
15:47much trouble
15:50but i remained in the silver cells enduring inhuman torture every second in eternity
16:07just when i thought i would die there a familiar figure appeared silently outside the sand
16:14when she saw my broken bleeding body she gasped
16:18i couldn't speak with a trembling finger i scrawled two words into the dirt on the floor
16:27potent blood
16:29this is the last of the potent blood
16:36using my last ounce of strength i took the vial and drank it all powerful energy surged through me
16:43my wounds began to close my strength returning it would only last a few hours but it would be enough
16:50a few hours enough to get to the sunstone sanctuary enough to kill the disgusting parasite in my womb
17:00enough to get to the sunstone sanctuary enough to kill the disgusting parasite in my womb
17:06with my power surging back the iron shackles were useless they snapped in two with a sharp crack
17:13my lady where are you going to the place where this all ends
17:21clara if i don't make it back you must live
17:25get away from this place far away and with that i vanished from the silver laced cell
17:33you must be able to die
17:34master master something's happened
17:38cassius stirred his face dark
17:45what is all this commotion the lady she's gone the silver cell is empty impossible
17:52where would she go without me in this entire world of our kind she has nowhere to run no one
17:58to protect
17:59she's probably just sulking in a corner somewhere
18:03but master we've looked everywhere there's not even a trace of her scent what did you say
18:12but master we've looked everywhere there's not even a trace of her scent what did you say
18:17you've looked everywhere looked everywhere yes from the dungeons to the highest tower every single corner
18:26tear this place apart if you have to find her
18:37soon the entire crimson court was in an uphole after a fruitless search
18:43a thought struck cassius he strode to a jewelry box and pulled out a necklace set with a blood red
18:48gem
18:49it was his wedding gift to me infused with a drop of his own blood allowing him to sense the
18:54wearer's
18:55location he clutched the necklace closing his eyes to focus a moment later they snapped open his face
19:04draining of color northwest she's heading for the hallowed temple
19:10a moment later they snapped open his face draining of color northwest she's heading for the hallowed temple
19:17he activated the necklace's link his voice a low hiss into the gem
19:24selena what game are you playing stop this nonsense at once come back now and i will forgive you
19:32i was struggling through a forest of thorns when the necklace on my chest grew hot
19:35and cassius's angry voice echoed from it i stopped looking down at the chain i once thought was a
19:43symbol of love my eyes filled with scorn forgive me what right did he have to forgive me
19:56it glinted once in the moonlight then was swallowed by the darkness cassius felt the connection sever
20:04the color drained from his face i had already reached the outskirts of the temple before me
20:13stood a grand white sanctuary glowing with a holy solemn light under the moon this was it the legendary
20:21hollowed temple of light this was it the legendary hollowed temple of light i took a deep breath and
20:32took the first step instantly a pillar of searing holy light slammed down from the sky striking me
20:39i cried out as fire seared through my body my skin began to smoke and sizzle so this was the
20:46power
20:46of holy light it was as terrible as they said but i gritted my teeth a vampire's healing is strong
20:53and the burns began to mend no you're insane you'll kill us both then we'll die together
21:09a second beam of light struck more powerful than the first i coughed up blood and fell to my knees
21:15but i could feel the light had also seared the parasite within me her soul was weakening under the
21:21assault it's working i wiped the blood from my lips struggling to stand just then a shadow blurred past
21:33it's working i wiped the blood from my lips struggling to stand just then a shadow blurred past
21:44selena the third beam of holy light was gathering inside more terrifying than the last two combined
21:50as it was about to fall cassius dove in front of me taking half the blast with his own body
21:57he spat a mouthful of black blood and crashed to the ground but the other half still hit me
22:03already exhausted i couldn't take anymore i collapsed an unimaginable pain tore through my abdomen
22:10like something was ripping me apart from the inside
22:16salami why why would you hurt yourself like this because i'd rather die than be your vessel shock and
22:25guilt flashed in his eyes i don't know what you're talking about i i can explain but before he could
22:34touch me lilith clawed her way into the world
22:39with the sound of tearing flesh lilith emerged from my body the agony almost made me pass out as blood
22:46poured from the wound she scrambled toward cassius blind to her own monstrous form the holy light and
22:54premature birth had made her a twisted hybrid half vampire half human she had a vampire's fangs but her
23:02body was frail and skeletal a pale wisp of a thing
23:07cassius help me horror and disgust ward on cassius's face
23:12seeing his reaction lilith's pleas became more desperate
23:19cassius she tried to kill me she sobbed pointing a bony finger at my dying form
23:26she brought me to this awful place to burn me with holy light if you hadn't come
23:32i would have never seen you again cassius's expression shifted to one of pity and pain
23:38he turned his fury at me selena for centuries i have treated you well all i asked was to use
23:46your
23:46body to bring lilith back how could you be so cruel cruel i let out a wretched laugh my only
23:55regret
23:56is that i didn't kill her completely silence cassius slapped me across the face my weakened body flew
24:04back to the back one slamming into one of the temple's stone pillars lilith fanned the flames
24:10tugging weakly at cassius's sleeve cassius i feel like i'm fading i need more power to hold this form
24:21her greedy eyes landed on me her ancient bloodline if i had it i could become a true vampire
24:30you promised me cassius was silent for a moment then gave a slow deliberate nod fine i will get
24:38it for you he walked toward me a flicker of conflict in his eyes that quickly turned to cold murder
24:44three hundred years i was good to you
24:48so i had shot a silver blade from his fault now it's time for you to serve your final purpose
24:55i closed my eyes my heart filled with despair was this how it ended killed by the one who betrayed
25:02me
25:03he won't let it or he won't die stop
25:08my deep voice detonating with power cut through the air in the next instant cassius was thrown aside
25:16the silver blade cladowing to fly i opened my eyes to see a tall figure standing over me he had
25:25hair as
25:26black as black as ink and deep violet eyes dressed in a dark noble cloak he radiated an ancient and
25:33immense power who are you cassius snarled picking himself up the man ignored him turning to look at
25:41me when i saw his face a strange sense of familiarity washed over me don't be afraid he said gently
25:50you're safe now he bent down and lifted me into his arms don't you dare take her
25:56but the man shot in a single dismissive glance with just a lick cassius a prince of his own court
26:04who was frozen in place bound by an unseen force a mere descendant dares to act so brazenly in my
26:11presence the man's voice carried the weight of ages try that again and i will wipe your crimson
26:20hope from existence i don't know how long i was out when i awoke i was staring up at a
26:27magnificent
26:28gothic ceiling its black marble columns carved with intricate roses the entire room hummed with
26:35an ancient mystic energy to my astonishment not only were my wounds healed but even the gash in my
26:42stomach had vanished without a scar and memories long lost memories were flooding my mind
26:49memories julian stole when he took my progenitor blood they were all coming back the man who
26:55saved me was dorian a powerful progenitor vampire it was at my 200th birthday celebration i had wandered
27:03off and stumbled upon his ancient castle he didn't turn me away instead he welcomed me with a gentle
27:10kindness we spent a blissful time together i sometimes caught a complex loving look in his eyes
27:18but i was already engaged we both understood and never crossed that line before he entered one
27:24of his long slumbers he gave me a drop of his own progenitor blood as a coming-of-age gift
27:30to protect me he said i never imagined that very gift would bring about my mind you're awake holding
27:38a crystal goblet filled with blood that smelled intoxicatingly sweet my own heart's blood it will help
27:44you recover your strength i took the goblet my gaze complicated you how did you find me
27:54he said without a trace of hesitation because i love you the moment i awoke i went to find you
28:02i never expected to see his eyes flashed with a dangerous light you had a fiance then and i was
28:08about
28:08to fall into slumber i couldn't give you any promises but now selena please give me a chance
28:17let me take care of you dorian i looked at his handsome intense face unable to meet the raw emotion
28:25in his eyes right now all i want is revenge julian stole my bloodline and slaughtered my clan cassius used
28:32and deceived me for 300 years i will make them pay i will help you he said instantly your enemies
28:40are my
28:41enemies over the next seven days under dorian's care my strength returned with incredible speed
28:48just as i was preparing to hunt down julian an unexpected visitor arrived
28:54selena my love i finally found you his face a mask of anguish and regret
29:01these past years i have lived every day in repentance i've missed you so much i don't know
29:06what came over me back then to have hurt you so please forgive me come back to me these 300
29:14years
29:14without you have been a living hell if my memories hadn't returned i might have actually been moved by his
29:20performance but now i could see right through it to the greed and calculation in his eyes
29:26his body was rejecting my progenitor blood he couldn't control his power that was the only reason
29:33he had come looking for me julian i said are you done with your act you look mithrin the pain
29:42of my
29:43stolen blood the murder of my entire family today you will pay for it all dorian handed me a long
29:52sword
29:52forged of black obsidian the blade gleamed in the castle's candlelight it was forged from the bones
29:58of an ancient demon poison to our kind use it end this his veneer of remorse shattered
30:08if you won't do this the easy way then don't blame me for what comes next
30:15you think a little restored power makes you a match for me
30:19i am an ancient thousands of years old in a flash his hand shot through my throat
30:27he sidestepped the obsidian sword carving a sharp arc through the air its tip just grazing his cheek
30:34a thin line of blood appeared and he screamed in pain
30:39that was just the beginning i said
30:42pressing the attack the agony i felt when you tore my blood from me
30:48i'm going to return it to you tenfold julian dodged clumsily horrified to find that despite
30:55his superior age he was losing ground no this is impossible
31:05i consumed your progena blood my power should be far greater than yours
31:11a shame it never truly belonged i lunged aiming for his heart
31:15he twisted his head but the blade tore a deep gash in his shoulder
31:20black corrupted blood gushed out at the same time the blood in my own veins began to stir
31:27he felt something inside him shift fighting to escape no what are you doing
31:33he screamed looking down at himself and tear a single perfect drop of crimson blood seeped from his chest
31:42and flew through the air merging back into my body it was my progenitor blood stolen 300 years ago
31:53it was my heart of crimson blood
31:53julian let out a soul shatter and cried
31:56his body began to convulse his skin turning a deathly light
32:02in a stark contrast an incredible surge of power
32:05exploded
32:08so this is the true power of a progenitor julian refusing to give up lunged one last time
32:16dorian simply waved a hand and he was sent flying away
32:21dorian smirked you overestimate yourself
32:25then he looked at me
32:26savine allow me to dispose of him for you you needn't dirty your hands
32:30i didn't have dapject julian was dragged away and hurled into the chasm behind the castle
32:35a bottomless dark abyss
32:38let him enjoy an eternity of solitude and hunger down there julian's screams faded into nothing
32:45vengeance was mine
32:47but the triumph i'd expected felt hollow
32:50instead thinking of my fallen family a wave of profound grief washed over me
32:57father mother my brothers and sisters they were never coming back
33:04celine dorian sensed my sorrow and gently pulled me into his arms
33:08i know
33:09even revenge can't fill the void of losing the ones you love
33:13they're all gone all of them
33:15i choked out the grief i'd suppressed for three hundred years finally breaking free
33:21i'm the lost one
33:23no
33:25you're not alone
33:26from now on i will always be with you
33:29for a hundred years a thousand for all of eternity
33:34i will never leave you
33:36his words were like warmth seeping into a frozen heart
33:39but having been betrayed twice
33:41i couldn't give my trust away so easily
33:44i leaned against him lost in thought
33:48this time
33:49can i believe him
33:52the next evening i returned to the ruins of my family's estate
33:56the once den grand castle of the dracal clan
33:59was now just a pile of rubble
34:01overgrown with thorns and weeds
34:03i knelt in the center of the ruins
34:05and performed the ancient rite of mourning
34:07i whispered their names father mother my kinsmen
34:11i have avenged you julian has paid for his crimes
34:15the night wind moaned through the wreckage
34:17as if the souls of my family were answering me
34:21the ritual ended late into the night
34:23i dragged my weary body back to dorian's castle
34:26but that night the nightmares returned
34:28in my dreams
34:30it was back in that night of blood
34:31three hundred years ago
34:33julian and his army surrounded our home
34:39the sky was red with fire
34:41the ground slicked with blood
34:42i watched as a silver dagger pierced my father's chest
34:45as my mother died before my eyes
34:47as my people fell one by one
34:50no please
34:52let them go please
34:55but it was useless
34:55the blood stained everything
34:57my lady
34:59my lady
35:00wake up
35:01a familiar voice pulled me from the nightmare
35:06clara
35:07i shot up
35:08my eyes flying open
35:09how are you here
35:13a familiar voice pulled me from the nightmare
35:19clara
35:20i shot up
35:21my eyes flying open
35:22how are you here
35:23clara was looking at me with concern
35:25i managed to escape
35:26her eyes read zen rim
35:28i've been looking for you for so long
35:30i studied her
35:31but something felt wrong
35:33clara
35:33i said
35:34testing her
35:35did you happen to bring my favorite emerald ring with you
35:37a flicker of panic crossed clara's face
35:40my lady
35:40i
35:40i left in such a hurry
35:42i forgot it
35:43i'm so sorry
35:44my hand moved stealthily toward the nightstand
35:47where a glass of silver
35:48zen laced water sat
35:50i see
35:51i said
35:52nodding calmly
35:53come here clara
35:55let me see if you were hurt
35:57clara approached without suspicion
35:59i snatched the glass and threw the water in her face
36:03the moment the silver hit
36:04clara shrieked
36:06how could you know
36:08you wretched thing
36:09when the transformation was complete
36:11it wasn't clara standing before me
36:14but the snarling face of lilith
36:16because i've never owned an emerald ring
36:20clara was with me for centuries
36:23she would have known that
36:27so clever
36:28lilith cackled maniacally
36:30too bad your loyal little servant is already dead
36:33what did you say
36:34my mind went blank
36:36lilith's smile grew more twisted
36:38that traitor
36:38i tortured her to death in the silver cells for letting you escape
36:42she was still whispering about protecting you right before she died
36:45pathetic
36:47clara the last of my people dead because she tried to save me
36:51rage and grief erupted inside me like a volcano
36:54i lunged forward and wrapped my hands around lilith's throat
36:58for the pain you caused me in that dungeon and for clara's life
37:02you will repay every drop of pain and clara's life in blood
37:09my fingers tightened lilith's face began to turn purple
37:14she clawed at my wrists but my grip was like iron
37:18well wait she choked out
37:21you hurt me and cassius will never forgive you
37:25i laughed a cold sharp sound
37:31cassius
37:32right now i have more than enough power to kill you both
37:35after the morning ritual the souls of my ancestors had found peace
37:40and their remaining power had flowed into me
37:42the pure blood of the dracal clan coursed through my veins
37:45stronger than it had been 300 years ago
37:48just as i was about to snap her neck the door burst
37:50selena i'm begging you stop don't hurt her
37:53i've made her my adoptive sister what happened before can't we just put it behind us you're
37:58the only one i want as my princess i slept back watching the scene with cold amusement
38:03adoptive sister you finally have your precious love back and you won't make her your mate cassius
38:09flinched it's not like that she and i are not seeing his discomfort i understood he couldn't
38:16accept lilith's new monstrous form he wasn't going to keep his promise as cold-blooded as ever no wonder
38:23lilith had been desperate enough to come after me if you truly want my forgiveness
38:28then you can suffer every torture from the silver cells just as i did then i'll consider it
38:35the silver cells confusion clouded cassius's eyes torture
38:40selene what are you talking about his gaze shifted to lilith who went pale her eyes darting around
38:48nervously lilith tell me is what selene said true
38:58i i was only lilith stammered unable to form a sentence cassius didn't give her the chance he
39:06placed his hands on her temples his eyes glowing with an eerie red light he was reading her memories
39:11lilith screamed in agony as the spell took hold cassius's face grew deathly white i knew what he was
39:18seeing silver daggers carving humiliating words into my skin hot iron branding my flesh my own cries
39:25of pain and despair no cassius's hands began to show no this isn't real it can't be when the spell
39:35ended selena i didn't know i truly didn't know i'm so sorry i thought it was just simple confinement
39:44i never meant for you to be tortured like that he didn't know i looked at him with utter indifference
39:49then slowly pushed up my sleeve revealing the scars that would never fully heal you see these
39:55do you still think you can be forgiven i started toward lilith again cassius still blocked my path
40:00he opened his mouth but no words came out don't kill her he pulled an ancient looking cross from his
40:07coat
40:08she saved my life once she's the reason i'm alive if you want revenge i will die in her place
40:16the
40:16moment i saw the cross my heart skipped a beat the design was so familiar just then the sound of
40:23slow
40:23clapping came from the doorway what a performance cassius you truly are a fool that cross belongs to selena's
40:31family dorian's words fell into a dead silence what that's impossible lilith gave this to me
40:44idiot dorian strode over and snatched the cross look closely you can see the faint initials engraved
40:50here sd this is the sacred heirloom of her house passed down through generations as he spoke a long
40:57buried memory surfaced in my mind a rainy night over 400 years ago i was wandering in the forest
41:04and found a young vampire torn apart by werewolves and clinging to life i took pity on him and carried
41:10him to a small cabin using all my precious herbs to heal him it took over three months of constant
41:15care to pull him back from the brink of death one day i returned from gathering supplies to find he
41:22was
41:22gone the family cross i had placed on his chest for protection was gone too i assumed he had simply
41:28left after recovering i was a little sad but i didn't think much of it over the years the memory
41:33had faded completely until now it was you you were the one attacked by werewolves that cabin
41:41the girl who took care of me that was you no it was me i saved you she did nothing
41:54but her lies were pathetic in the face of the truth i took the cross back from dorian my gaze
42:00fixed on found callius unconscious took him while i was away stole my family heirloom and passed yourself
42:06off as his savior lewis had no more lies to tell i i cassius just stood there a storm of
42:13shock regret
42:15and a strange wild joy warring on his face 400 years i've been thanking the wrong person for 400
42:23years you damned liar you made me misunderstand her for centuries no cassius let me explain i love you
42:33everything i did was enough cassius was in front of her in the instant because of you i hurt my
42:39true
42:39savior this is all your fault with a sickening snap he broke her neck her body went limp and fell
42:46to the
42:46floor her eyes wide with disbelief she never imagined cassius could be so ruthless after dealing with lilith
42:54cassius turned to me tears streamed down his face selena my savior i finally found you please forgive me for
43:04everything come home with me i'll spend the rest of my existence making it up to you his belated devotion
43:12meant nothing to me it was too late the 300 years of imprisonment using our child as a vessel for
43:19lilith
43:19clara's death none of it could be undone i turned to leave needing to be alone look out i spun
43:28around
43:28just in time to see a mangled figure lunge from the shadows behind me it was julian he had somehow
43:34clawed his way out of the abyss a demonic revenant with long claws aimed straight for my heart if i'm
43:40going down i'm taking you with me in that split second a familiar body moved to shield me a wet
43:48tearing sound filled the air as julian's hand plunged deep into dorian's chest looking into his deep
43:55devoted eyes as he stumbled i held him when my own tears finally began to fall
44:01idiot his face went pale but he still gave me a reassuring smile
44:08a progenitor's healing is formidable dorian's wound was not fatal but my heart was in turmoil
44:15why you could have dodged that
44:21because i promised i would protect you julian roared in frustration you think it's over
44:31i'm not dead he charged us again this time i didn't move i held out my right hand and a
44:38deep
44:38crimson light gathered in my palm it was the oldest most powerful ability of the dracula bloodline
44:44strong enough to unmake an ancient vampire julian's power was a flickering candle against my inferno
44:49i didn't kill him quickly i stripped his power away piece by piece letting him feel true despair mighty
44:56julian shriveled into a common bat trembling on the floor you will live out the rest of your days in
45:02this form and you will never forget the lesson you learned today with julian's final defeat the weight
45:09on my soul finally lifted the pain of centuries receded like a tide replaced by a profound sense of peace
45:16my power settled stronger and purer than ever before cassius looked at me with an even deeper
45:22obsession reaching out to touch go cassius let's pretend i never saved you and never disturb my
45:28life again i stepped away ignoring his ashen face i turned and helped dorian away months later dorian was
45:37fully healed during his recovery he had been shamelessly direct with his affections i'd gone
45:43from blushing to being completely used to it this morning he presented me with another bouquet of roses
45:50selena selena will you accept my love today he asked with a smile i will
46:02i will that's all right i'll just ask again tomorrow dorian's hopeful smile faltered then erupted
46:09into pure joy are you serious you said yes i couldn't help but laugh at his rare loss of composure
46:16you heard me correctly i will make you happy dorian said pulling me into a fierce embrace
46:24i'll guard you with my life the news spread like wildfire the progenitor dorian was to take selene
46:31the dracal princess as his mate clan leaders from all corners of the world came to witness the
46:36unprecedented ceremony the ancient castle was decorated in splendor more magnificent than it had been in
46:45centuries today i declare in my name as progenitor that selena will be my mate my equal in status and
46:52power he bit his own wrist and in front of everyone made a blood oath if i ever betray this
46:57vow may i
46:58walk into the sun and be consumed by holy fire the oath sent a shock wave through the vampire world
47:04a
47:04progenitor willing to stake his very existence on a promise such devotion was unheard of in the
47:11distance cassius watched us his gaze vacant and broken his body was covered in fresh scars from
47:17silver burns he had foolishly believed that by punishing himself he could earn my forgiveness one
47:23day instead he got an invitation to our wedding i ignored his shattered expression and confidently took
47:30dorian's hand how does it feel i smiled it feels strange and it feels wonderful we stood together
47:37looking out over the domain that was now ours with dorian by my side i looked toward a new dawn
47:43ready to embrace a future i would build with my own hands now a new one one of love and
47:50empire was just
47:51beginning
