Short filmTranscript
00:07300 years ago, at my wedding to Julian, he attacked me, desperate for the drop of precious
00:13progenitor blood on my brain.
00:17He left me for dead, and slaughtered my entire family.
00:22As I lay dying, I was found by the vampire prince, Cassius.
00:27He took me home.
00:28He cherished me.
00:31My weakness, my lost power, known of it mattered.
00:37He even threw us a lavish wedding.
00:39When I became pregnant against all odds, he fed me his own blood every day, even though
00:45it weakened him.
00:47I thought he was my salvation.
00:51Until today, when I overheard him talking to his underline.
00:56Parasite is nearly whole.
00:57300 years of waiting are finally over.
01:00Soon Lilith will be reborn in her womb, and I can finally give her the perfect, immortal body she deserves.
01:07And Lady Selina?
01:10She's just the vessel.
01:11Once again with me.
01:12Lilith saved me.
01:14I owe her everything.
01:15Once Lilith is born, I'll drain every last drop of ancient blood from Selina's body, and give Lilith true immortality.
01:34I stood outside Cassius' study, listening.
01:40A chill crept up from my feet, and settled deep in my heart.
01:44Strange.
01:46Strange.
01:47Vampires don't feel the cold.
01:48300 years of a loving marriage.
01:50All of it.
01:51An elaborate lie.
01:53I thought back to that night.
01:54300 years ago.
01:56My former feelings.
01:57Lilith.
01:58Betrayed me at all that.
02:00Stole the sacred progenitor blood from my veins, and massacred my entire clan.
02:05And now, history was repeating itself.
02:08I had fallen into a man's trap.
02:10Again.
02:12Inside the study, the conversation continued.
02:17Isn't that a bit cruel, my lord?
02:19After all, she's been the prince's wife for three centuries.
02:21That title was always meant for Lilith.
02:24I let her enjoy it for 300 years.
02:27Besides, if I hadn't found her, she would have died at Julian's hand anyway, wouldn't she?
02:32What if she finds out?
02:36She won't.
02:37She's too in love with me.
02:38Even if she suspects something, she won't dare believe it.
02:41And now, she's addicted to my blood and the elixirs.
02:45She can't survive without them.
02:49She won't.
02:50She's too in love with me.
02:52Even if she suspects something, she won't dare believe it.
02:55And now, she's addicted to my blood and the elixirs.
02:58She can't survive without me.
03:00I covered my mouth and stumbled back to my room, shaking.
03:04My handmaid, Clara, brought in two goblets.
03:07One held Cassius's blood.
03:09The other, the special elixir he'd found for me, said to protect the fetus and help it grow strong.
03:16My lady, the prince is so good to you.
03:19He specifically told me to watch you drink them every day.
03:22Good to me.
03:23I touched my swollen belly, and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
03:27When he first saved me, I had almost no power, more fragile than a human.
03:33Cassius fed me so much of his own blood.
03:35And even used his precious heart's blood to mend my spirit.
03:40Later, when I mourned for my clan, he spared no expense, building me a perfect replica of the castle I
03:46grew up in.
03:47He kissed my forehead back then, whispering softly.
03:51I would do anything to see you happy.
03:55That was why I fell for him.
03:57It's why I was willing to risk everything for him.
04:00Even the near impossible danger of a vampire pregnancy.
04:06That was why I fell for him.
04:08It's why I was willing to risk everything for him.
04:11Even the near impossible danger of a vampire pregnancy.
04:15But now I see it, it wasn't me he cherished.
04:18It was my body, the vessel.
04:21Suddenly, all the things that never quite made sense clicked into place.
04:25No wonder he was moved to tears when I became pregnant.
04:29No wonder this child, which should have taken two centuries to turn, was nearly due after only one.
04:36I grabbed the goblet of blood, and drained it in one go.
04:41As for the oven, I poured it onto the floor.
04:44My lady!
04:46What are you-
04:47Shh!
04:49Trust me.
04:51Don't say a word.
04:54She looked at the resolve in my eyes, and finally nodded.
04:58She was half vampire.
05:00Her father was one of my own.
05:02Cut down with the rest of my clan.
05:04Her loyalty was absolute.
05:07My belly clenched again as the thing inside me moved.
05:10More violently this time.
05:12As if it were desperate to claw its way out.
05:26Can't wait to get out?
05:29Too bad.
05:30Your little plan is about to go up as smoke.
05:33I went to my vanity and pulled an old map from the back of a drawer.
05:37I found it.
05:38The sunstone sanctuary.
05:40A forbidden place for our kind.
05:42Rumored to be filled with deadly, sacred light.
05:45But it was also the only place that could purify a corrupt soul.
05:49If I could survive its holy fire.
05:51I could kill the parasite in my womb for good.
05:54I would rather die than be a pawn in Cassius's game.
05:58I stared at my reflection.
06:00A fire of vengeance burning in my eyes.
06:03I swore an oath.
06:04If I survived the holy fire.
06:06I would burn the crimson court to ash.
06:10And I would make Cassius pay a price he would never forget.
06:13For all eternity.
06:19And I would make Cassius pay a price he would never forget.
06:23For all eternity.
06:25Just as I hid the map.
06:27A sharp, tearing pain ripped through my abdomen.
06:30Something inside me was thrashing wildly.
06:35I couldn't let it grow unchecked.
06:37I had to suppress it.
06:39I desperately called upon what little remained of my ancient bloodline's power.
06:43Trying to cage the parasite in my womb.
06:46A spray of black blood erupted from my mouth.
06:50Splattering across the delicate silver music box on my vanity.
06:54It was a gift from Cassius for our hundredth wedding anniversary.
07:00I wrote this melody for you.
07:01So whenever you hear it you'll remember the beautiful moment we first met.
07:06I had been moved to tears.
07:08And I treasured it.
07:10How ironic.
07:11I reached for the music box.
07:13Ready to hurl it into the fireplace.
07:16Just as my fingers were about to release it.
07:19The door flew open.
07:35Selina?
07:36I heard you cry out.
07:37What happened?
07:39Cassius rushed in.
07:41His eyes immediately locking onto the music box in my hand.
07:44His face paled.
07:46It's nothing.
07:47Just the baby kicking a little hard.
07:52You know I was just thinking.
07:54The diamonds on this box are lovely.
07:56Why don't we have them reset into a new piece of jewelry?
07:59My tastes have changed a bit since becoming pregnant.
08:02No!
08:03I wanna save this box for-
08:08Save it for who?
08:13For-
08:14For our child it has sentimental value.
08:17A lie.
08:18That is not what he was about to say.
08:21A tide of fury washed over me.
08:23And I lost all control.
08:25With all my might, I threw the music box toward the fireplace.
08:30No!
08:31No!
08:31Cassius screamed.
08:32And without a second thought.
08:34He plunged his hand into the roaring flames to snatch it back.
08:38The fire engulfed his hand.
08:40The smell of burning flesh, filling the air.
08:44But he seemed to feel no pain.
08:46His only concern to protect the box.
08:51But he seemed to feel no pain.
08:53His only concern to protect the box.
08:56When he pulled it from the fire, one corner was charred, revealing the inscription inside.
09:03To Lilith, my eternal beloved.
09:06I laughed, a bitter, mocking sound.
09:09Of course, the music box was never for me.
09:12The token of love I had cherished for 300 years was a gift for another woman.
09:18Hate and humiliation consumed me.
09:20I swept all the jewelry Cassius had ever given me off the vanity and onto the floor.
09:25This is all for her, isn't it?
09:27I'm just a substitute.
09:28A vessel!
09:31Selene, what are you doing?
09:33Calm down.
09:34He didn't listen.
09:36Just kept throwing his cell.
09:37Called mementos into the fire.
09:40Finally, Cassius' mask of tenderness cracked.
09:43Enough!
09:44Keep this up, and I'll throw you in the silver cells myself.
09:57I froze.
09:59The silver cells.
10:00Even a prince as powerful as him grew weak there.
10:04He wanted to lock me, his pregnant wife, in that place.
10:07Seeing my pale face, Cassius' voice softened again.
10:12Selene, listen to me.
10:13Stop this foolishness.
10:17i'll give you anything you want new jewelry my heart burning with pure hatred he tried to soothe
10:24me but i just closed my eyes refusing to look at him i even knocked the goblet of blood he
10:30offered
10:30me from his hand it splattered all over him and the last shred of tenderness vanished from his face
10:38fine have it your way
10:44take her away the silver cells were in the castle's deepest dungeon their walls forged from pure silver
10:51for a vampire it was hell on earth the heavy silver door slammed shut and i collapsed onto the freezing
10:59floor the heavy silver door slammed shut and i collapsed onto the freezing floor
11:09the guard was a grim faced bloodthrob he looked at me with what might have been pity my lady
11:16why must you provoke the master
11:19just then a wave of powerful evil energy surged from the enemy
11:23to my horror i saw the guard's normal gaze turn vacant his lips twisted into a bizarre cruel smile
11:32and his voice became sharp and grating finally i can finally control things out here that wasn't the
11:39guard's voice her soul was already strong enough to possess a human the bloodthrob's eyes turned vicious
11:47with a wicked grin he grabbed me and slammed me onto a rack covered in silver spikes
11:54her soul was already strong enough to possess a human the bloodthrob's eyes turned vicious with a wicked grin
12:01he grabbed me and slammed me onto a rack covered in silver spikes the silver spikes pierced my skin and
12:08agony shone through me
12:09i was pinned to the rack unable to move
12:15ah what exquisite pain
12:18you know for the last hundred years in your room
12:21i've had to endure every moment of you and cassius's intimacy
12:25now it's your turn to taste a little pain
12:31the brand seared a black mark onto my eye
12:34the pain was so intense i nearly blacked out
12:37parasite i'm just taking back what's mine
12:41cassian was always mine
12:44she used the thrall's hands to pick up a silver dagger
12:47then slowly carved the word whore into the flesh of my other arm
12:51the silver blade sizzled against my skin
12:54look at this beautiful wound listen to that lovely scream
12:59and the smell of burning flesh
13:01so delightful
13:03you should feel honored to give everything for my rebirth
13:09look at this beautiful wound listen to that lovely scream
13:13and the smell of burning flesh
13:16so delightful
13:17you should feel honored to give everything for my rebirth
13:22the torment was absolute
13:24my heart hammered against my ribs
13:26threatening to stop at any moment
13:28my vision blackened
13:30my consciousness fading
13:31just as i was about to pass out
13:34cassius
13:35in his chambers
13:36suddenly woke from his sleep
13:38he glanced at the moonlit window
13:41then at the empty space beside him in the bed
13:43the strange unease washed over him
13:48go to the silver cells and check on silver
13:50i've prepared her favorite ruby necklace
13:53if she's ready to apologize let her out
13:56that thrall also secretly under lilith's control
13:59bowed respectfully
14:01a moment later he returned
14:04master
14:04the lady is still throwing a tantrum
14:06she refuses to see you and
14:08said some very unpleasant things
14:11cassius's face darkened
14:13if she's not sorry
14:15then let her rot down there until she comes to her senses
14:18meanwhile
14:18in the silver cells
14:21i had completely lost consciousness
14:24sensing her host's life force fading
14:26lilith was forced to stop the torture
14:29she needed me alive
14:31at least until the moment of her birth
14:34a warm energy flowed from my womb
14:36mending my damaged heart
14:38she was feeding her own power back into me
14:42just enough to keep my heart beating
14:47she needed me alive
14:48at least until the moment of her birth
14:51a warm energy flowed from my womb
14:53mending my damaged heart
14:56she was feeding her own power back into me
14:59just enough to keep my heart beating
15:01pain pulled me back to reality
15:03i opened my eyes to find myself still tied to the rack
15:08my body covered in wounds
15:10awake
15:11good
15:12that was just the appetizer
15:14now for the main course
15:17a violent slam came from my belly
15:19as if something was trying to tear its way out
15:23every impact was agony
15:24feel that selena?
15:27it's me
15:27feel that?
15:28that's for the hundred years you've restrained and suppressed me
15:32now i'm going to make you pay back
15:34a hundred times over for every ounce of Cass' affection you enjoyed
15:37every kiss, every sweet word, they were all meant for me
15:40far away in his chambers
15:42Cassius felt a phantom pain and shot upright in red
15:51master, what's wrong?
15:55i thought i heard so
15:57never mind
15:58probably a nightmare
16:00selena
16:01selena is stubborn
16:01maybe then she'll learn not to be so much trouble
16:06but i remained in the silver cells
16:09enduring inhuman torture
16:10every second in eternity
16:16but i remained in the silver cells
16:18enduring inhuman torture
16:20every second in eternity
16:24just when i thought i would die there
16:26a familiar figure appeared silently outside the center
16:32when she saw my broken, bleeding body, she gasped
16:35my lady, what happened?
16:38i couldn't speak
16:39with a trembling finger
16:41i scrawled two words into the dirt on the floor
16:44potent blood
16:46this is the last of the potent blood
16:53using my last ounce of strength
16:55i took the vial and drank it all
16:57powerful energy surged through me
17:00the wounds began to close
17:02my strength returning
17:03it would only last a few hours
17:06but it would be enough
17:07a few hours
17:08enough to get to the sunstone sanctuary
17:11enough to kill the disgusting parasite in my womb
17:22with my power surging back
17:25the iron shackles were useless
17:27they snapped in two with a sharp claw
17:31my lady, where are you going?
17:32to the place where this all ends
17:39clara, if i don't make it back you must live
17:42get away from this place
17:44far away
17:45and with that
17:46i vanished from the silver laced cell
17:51master!
17:52master something's happened
17:55kasha stirred
17:56his face struck
18:03what is all this commotion?
18:05the lady
18:05she's gone
18:06the silver cell is empty
18:07impossible
18:10where would she go without me?
18:12in this entire world of our kind
18:14she has nowhere to run
18:16no one to protect her
18:17she's probably just sulking in a corner somewhere
18:22but master, we've looked everywhere
18:23there's not even a trace of her scent
18:25what did you say?
18:30but master, we've looked everywhere
18:32there's not even a trace of her scent
18:34what did you say?
18:35you've looked everywhere?
18:38looked everywhere?
18:39yes, from the dungeons to the highest tower
18:42every single corner
18:45tear this place apart if you have to
18:49find her
18:55soon the entire crimson court was in an uphole
18:59after a fruitless search
19:01a thought struck cassius
19:03he strode to a jewelry box
19:05and pulled out a necklace set with a blood red gem
19:07it was his wedding gift to me
19:09infused with a drop of his own blood
19:12allowing him to sense the wearer's location
19:15he clutched the necklace
19:17closing his eyes to focus
19:19a moment later
19:21they snapped open
19:22his face draining of color
19:24the northwest
19:25she's heading for the hallowed temple
19:29a moment later
19:30they snapped open
19:31his face draining of color
19:33the northwest
19:34she's heading for the hallowed temple
19:36he activated the necklace's link
19:38his voice a low hiss into the gem
19:42selena
19:44what game are you playing?
19:46stop this nonsense at once
19:48come back now
19:49and i will forgive you
19:51i was struggling through a forest of thorns
19:53when the necklace on my chest grew hot
19:55and cassius's angry voice echoed from it
19:59i stopped
20:00looking down at the chain i once thought was a symbol of love
20:03my eyes filled with scorn
20:06forgive me
20:08what right did he have
20:11to forgive me
20:16it glinted once in the moonlight
20:18one was swallowed by the darkness
20:22cassius felt the connection sever
20:24the color drained from his face
20:29i had already reached the outskirts of the temple
20:32before me stood a grand
20:34white sanctuary
20:35glowing with a holy
20:37solemn light under the moon
20:39this was it
20:41the legendary hallowed temple of light
20:46this was it
20:47the legendary hallowed temple of light
20:50i took a deep breath
20:52and took the first step
20:53instantly
20:54a pillar of searing holy light
20:56slammed down from the sky
20:57striking me
21:00i cried out
21:01as fire seared through my body
21:02my skin began to smoke
21:04and sizzle
21:05so this was the power of holy light
21:08it was as terrible as they said
21:10but i gritted my teeth
21:12a vampire's healing is strong
21:14and the burns began to mend
21:17no you're insane
21:18you'll kill us both
21:22then we'll die together
21:29a second beam of light struck
21:31more powerful than the first
21:33i coughed up blood and fell to my knees
21:36but i could feel the light had also seared the parasite within me
21:39her soul was weakening under the assault
21:43it's working
21:45i wiped the blood from my lips
21:47struggling to stand
21:48just then
21:50a shadow blurred past
21:54it's working
21:55i wiped the blood from my lips
21:57struggling to stand
21:58just then
22:00a shadow blurred past
22:02selena
22:05the third beam of holy light was gathering in the sky
22:08more terrifying than the last two combined
22:11as it was about to fall
22:13he cashed his dove in front of me
22:15taking half the blast with his own body
22:18he spat a mouthful of black blood
22:20and crashed to the ground
22:22but the other half still hit me
22:25already exhausted
22:26i couldn't take any more
22:28i collapsed
22:29an unimaginable pain tore through my abdomen
22:32like something was ripping me apart from the inside
22:37selemi
22:38why
22:40why
22:40why would you hurt yourself like this
22:42because
22:43i'd rather die
22:44than be your vessel
22:46shock and guilt flashed in his eyes
22:50i don't know what you're talking about
22:52i
22:52i
22:53i can explain
22:54but before he could touch me
22:56lilith clawed her way into the world
23:01with the sound of tearing flesh
23:03lilith emerged from my body
23:05the agony almost made me pass out as blood poured from the wound
23:09she scrambled toward cassius
23:12blind to her own monstrous form
23:14the holy light and premature birth
23:17had made her a twisted hybride
23:19half vampire
23:21half human
23:22she had a vampire's fangs
23:24but her body was frail and skeletal
23:26a pale wisp of a thing
23:29cassius
23:30help me
23:32horror and disgust ward on cassius's face
23:34seeing his reaction
23:36lilith's pleas became more desperate
23:41cassius
23:42she tried to kill me
23:43she sobbed
23:45pointing a bony finger at my dying form
23:49she brought me to this awful place to burn me with holy light
23:53if you hadn't come
23:55i would have never seen you again
23:57cassius's expression shifted to one of pity and pain
24:00he turned his fury on me
24:03selena for centuries i have treated you well
24:07all i asked was to use your body to bring lilith back
24:11how could you be so cruel
24:15cruel
24:16i let out a wretched laugh
24:18my only regret is that i didn't kill her completely
24:21completely
24:21silence
24:23cassius slapped me across the face
24:26my weakened body flew back from
24:28slamming into one of the temple's stone pillars
24:31lilith fanned the flames
24:33tugging weakly at cassius's sleeve
24:36cassius
24:38i feel like i'm fading
24:41i need more power to hold this form
24:44her greedy eyes landed on me
24:46her ancient bloodline
24:50if i had it
24:51i could become a true vampire
24:54you promised me
24:55cassius was silent for a moment
24:57then gave a slow deliberate nod
24:59fine
25:01i will get it for you
25:03he walked toward me
25:04a flicker of conflict in his eyes that quickly turned to cold murder
25:08three hundred years
25:10i was good to you
25:12draw a shock
25:13a silver blade from his fault
25:16now
25:16it's time for you to serve your final purpose
25:19i closed my eyes
25:21my heart felt like despair
25:22is this how it ended
25:24killed by the one who betrayed me
25:27he won't let it
25:28but he won't die
25:30stop
25:32my deep voice
25:45i opened my eyes to see a tall figure standing over me
25:49he had hair as black as ink and deep violet eyes
25:52dressed in a dark noble cloak
25:55he radiated an ancient and immense power
25:58who are you
26:00cassius snarled
26:01picking himself up
26:03the man ignored him
26:05turning to look at me
26:06when i saw his face
26:08a strange sense of familiarity washed over me
26:11don't be afraid
26:12he said gently
26:14you're safe now
26:16he bent down and lifted me into his arms
26:19don't you dare take her
26:21but the man shot in a single dismissive glance
26:25with just a look
26:27cassius
26:27a prince of his own court
26:29was frozen in place
26:30bound by an unseen force
26:33a mere descendant dares to act so brazenly in my presence
26:37the man's voice carried the weight of ages
26:42try that again
26:43and i will wipe your crimson court from existence
26:48i don't know how long i was out
26:50when i awoke
26:51i was staring up at a magnificent gothic ceiling
26:54its black marble columns carved with intricate roses
26:58the entire room hummed with an ancient mystic energy
27:03to my astonishment
27:05not only were my wounds healed
27:07but even the gash in my stomach had vanished without a scar
27:10and memories
27:11long lost memories were flooding my mind
27:14the memories julian stole when he took my progenitor blood
27:18they were all coming back
27:20the man who saved me was dorian
27:22a powerful progenitor vampire
27:24it was at my 200th birthday celebration
27:28i had wandered off and stumbled upon his ancient castle
27:31he didn't turn me away
27:33instead
27:34he welcomed me with a gentle kindness
27:37we spent a blissful time together
27:40i sometimes caught a complex
27:42loving look in his eyes
27:44but i was already engaged
27:46we both understood
27:47and never crossed that line
27:49before he entered one of his long slumbers
27:51he gave me a drop of his own progenitor blood
27:54as a coming of age gift
27:56to protect me
27:57he said
27:59i never imagined
28:01that very gift
28:01would bring about my moment
28:03you're awake
28:04holding a crystal goblet
28:05filled with blood
28:06that smelled intoxicatingly sweet
28:08my own heart's blood
28:10it will help you recover your strength
28:11i took the goblet
28:13my gaze complicated
28:16you
28:17how did you find me?
28:20he said
28:21without a trace of hesitation
28:23because i love you
28:25the moment i awoke
28:27i went to find you
28:28i never expected to see
28:31his eyes flashed with a dangerous light
28:33you had a fiancé then
28:34and i was about to fall into slumber
28:37i couldn't give you any promises
28:41but now selena
28:42please give me a chance
28:44let me take care of you
28:46dorian
28:47i looked at his handsome
28:48intense face
28:50unable to meet the raw emotion
28:52in his eyes
28:53right now all i want is revenge
28:55julian stole my bloodline
28:57and slaughtered my clan
28:58cassius used and deceived me
29:00for three hundred years
29:01i will make them pay
29:03i will help you
29:05he said instantly
29:07your enemies are my enemies
29:09over the next seven days
29:10under dorian's care
29:12my strength returned
29:13with incredible speed
29:15just as i was preparing
29:16to hunt down julian
29:17an unexpected visitor arrived
29:22selena my love
29:23i finally found you
29:25his face a mask of anguish
29:27and regret
29:29these past years
29:30i have lived every day
29:31in repentance
29:32i've missed you so much
29:34i don't know what came over me

29:42without you have been
29:43a living hell
29:44if my memories
29:45hadn't returned
29:46i might have actually
29:47been moved
29:48by his performance
29:49but now
29:50i could see right through it
29:51to the greed and calculation
29:53in his eyes
29:55his body was rejecting
29:56my progenitor blood
29:57he couldn't control
29:59his power
30:00that was the only reason
30:01he had come
30:02looking for me
30:03julian
30:04i said
30:05are you done
30:06with your act
30:08you look mithrin
30:09the pain of my stolen blood
30:12the murder of my entire family
30:14today
30:16you will pay for it all
30:19dorian handed me a longsword
30:21forged of black obsidian
30:22the blade gleamed in the castle's candlelight
30:25it was forged from the bones
30:27of an ancient demon
30:28it's poison to our kind
30:30use it
30:31end this
30:32his veneer of remorse shattered
30:37if you won't do this
30:38the easy way
30:39then don't blame me
30:41for what comes next
30:44you think a little
30:45restored power
30:46makes you a match
30:47for me
30:48i am an ancient
30:50thousands of years old
30:52in a flash
30:53his hand shot
30:54through my throat
30:55he sidestepped
30:57the obsidian sword
30:58carving a sharp arc
30:59through the air
31:00its tip just grazing
31:01his cheek
31:02a thin line of blood
31:04appeared
31:04and he screamed
31:06in pain
31:08that was just
31:09the beginning
31:10he said
31:10he was in the attack
31:13the agony
31:14i felt
31:14when you tore
31:16my blood from me
31:18i'm going to return it
31:19to you tenfold
31:21julian dodged clumsily
31:23horrified to find
31:24that despite his superior age
31:26he was losing ground
31:27no
31:28this is impossible
31:35i consumed your progena blood
31:37my power should be
31:39far greater than yours
31:40a shame it never truly belonged
31:42i lunged
31:43aiming for his heart
31:44it twisted him
31:46with a blade
31:47to a deep gash
31:48in his shoulder
31:49black
31:50corrupted blood
31:51gushed out
31:52at the same time
31:53the blood in my own veins
31:55began to stir
31:56he felt something
31:57inside him shift
31:58fighting to escape
32:00no
32:01no what are you doing
32:03he screamed
32:04looking down at himself
32:05and terribly
32:07a single
32:09perfect drop
32:10of crimson blood
32:11seeped from his chest
32:12and flew through the air
32:14merging back
32:15into my body
32:16it was my progenitor blood
32:18stolen 300 years ago
32:23and he was sent flying
32:25in the back of his head
32:27his body began to convulse
32:29his skin turned in a deathly white
32:32in a stark contrast
32:34an incredible surge of power
32:36exploded
32:37within
32:39so this is the true power
32:41of a progenitor
32:42julian
32:43refusing to give up
32:44lunged one last time
32:47dorian simply waved a hand
32:49and he was sent flying
32:50in the back of his head
32:52dorian smirked
32:53you overestimate yourself
32:55then he looked at me
32:57savine
32:57allow me to dispose of him for you
32:59you needn't dirty your hands
33:01i didn't have dapject
33:02julian was dragged away
33:04and hurled into the chasm
33:05behind the castle
33:06a bottomless
33:07dark abyss
33:08let him enjoy an eternity
33:11of solitude and hunger
33:12down there
33:13julian's screams
33:14faded into nothing
33:15vengeance was mine
33:17but the triumph i'd expected
33:20felt hollow
33:21instead
33:22thinking of my fallen family
33:24a wave of profound grief
33:26washed over me
33:27father
33:28mother
33:29my brothers and sisters
33:31they were never coming back
33:35selene
33:36dorian sensed my sorrow
33:37and gently pulled me into his arms
33:39i know
33:41even revenge can't fill the void
33:43of losing the ones you love
33:44they're all gone
33:46all of them
33:47i choked out
33:48the grief i'd suppressed
33:49for three hundred years
33:51finally breaking free
33:52i'm the last one
33:55no
33:56you're not alone
33:57from now on
33:59i will always be with you
34:00for a hundred years
34:02a thousand
34:03for all of eternity
34:06i will never leave you
34:07his words were like warmth
34:09seeping into a frozen heart
34:10but having been betrayed twice
34:13i couldn't give my trust away
34:15so easily
34:16i leaned against him
34:17lost in thought
34:19this time
34:21can i believe him
34:24the next evening
34:25i returned to the ruins
34:27of my family's estate
34:28the once den grand castle
34:30of the dracal clan
34:31was now just a pile of rubble
34:33overgrown with thorns
34:34and weeds
34:35i knelt in the center
34:36of the ruins
34:37and performed the ancient
34:38rite of mourning
34:39i whispered their names
34:41father
34:42mother
34:42my kinsmen
34:43i have avenged you
34:45julian has paid
34:46for his crimes
34:47the night wind
34:48moaned through the wreckage
34:49as if the souls
34:51of my family
34:51were answering me
34:52the ritual
34:54ended late
34:55into the night
34:55i dragged my weary body
34:57back to dorian's castle
34:58but that night
35:00the nightmares returned
35:01in my dreams
35:02it was back in that night
35:04of blood
35:04three hundred years ago
35:05julian and his army
35:07surrounded our home
35:11the sky was red
35:13with fire
35:13the ground slicked
35:14with blood
35:15i watched as a silver dagger
35:17pierced my father's chest
35:18as my mother died
35:19before my eyes
35:20as my people
35:21fell one by one
35:23no please
35:25let them go
35:27please
35:27but it was useless
35:29blood stained everything

36:07i said
36:08testing her

36:09my favorite emerald ring

36:11a flicker of panic
36:12crossed clara's face
36:13my lady
36:14i i left in such a hurry
36:16i forgot it
36:16i'm so sorry
36:17my hand moved stealthily
36:20toward the nightstand
36:21where a glass of silver
36:22zen laced water
36:23sat
36:23i see
36:24i said
36:26nodding calmly

36:31clara approached
36:32without suspicion
36:33i snatched the glass
36:35and threw the water
36:36in her face
36:36the moment the silver
36:38hit
36:38clara shrieked
36:40how could you know
36:42you wretched thing
36:43when the transformation
36:45was complete
36:46it wasn't clara
36:47standing before me
36:48but the snarling face
36:49of lilith
36:50because i've never owned
36:51an emerald ring
36:54clara was with me
36:56for centuries
36:56she would have known that

37:02lilith cackled
37:04maniacally
37:04too bad
37:05your loyal little servant
37:06is already dead
37:07what did you say
37:09my mind went blank
37:10lilith's smile
37:11grew more twisted
37:12that traitor
37:13i tortured her to death
37:14in the silver cells
37:15for letting you escape
37:16she was still whispering
37:18about protecting you
37:19right before she died
37:20pathetic
37:21clara
37:22the last of my people
37:24dead
37:24because she tried
37:25to save me
37:26rage and grief
37:27erupted inside me
37:28like a volcano
37:29i lunged forward
37:30and wrapped my hands
37:31around lilith's
37:32throat
37:32for the pain
37:34you caused me
37:34in that dungeon
37:35and for clara's life
37:36you will repay
37:38every drop of pain
37:39and clara's life
37:40in blood
37:44my fingers tightened
37:45lilith's face
37:47began to turn purple
37:48she clawed at my wrists
37:50but my grip
37:51was like iron
37:52whoa wait
37:53she choked out
37:55you hurt me
37:57and cassius
37:58will never forgive you
38:00i laughed
38:02a cold
38:03sharp sound
38:06cassius
38:07right now
38:08right now
38:08i have more than enough
38:09power to kill you both
38:10after the morning ritual
38:11the souls of my ancestors
38:13had found peace
38:15and their remaining power
38:16had flowed into me
38:17the pure blood
38:19of the dracal clan
38:20coursed through my veins
38:21stronger than it had been
38:22three hundred years ago
38:23just as i was about to snap her neck
38:25the door burst open
38:26selena i'm begging you
38:27stop
38:27don't hurt her
38:29i've made her my adoptive sister
38:30what happened before

38:36watching the scene
38:37with cold amusement
38:38adoptive sister
38:39you finally have your precious love back
38:42and you won't make her your mate
38:44cassius flinched
38:46it's not like that
38:46she and i are not
38:48seeing his discomfort
38:50i understood
38:51he couldn't accept
38:52lilith's new
38:53monstrous form
38:54he wasn't going to keep his promise
38:56as cold-blooded as ever
38:58no wonder lilith
38:59had been desperate enough
39:00to come after me
39:01if you truly want my forgiveness
39:03then you can suffer
39:06every torture from the silver cells
39:08just as i did
39:09then i'll consider it
39:11the silver cells
39:13confusion clouded cassius's eyes
39:15torture
39:17selene what are you talking about
39:20his gaze shifted to lilith
39:22who went pale
39:23her eyes darting around nervously
39:25lilith
39:26tell me
39:27is what selene said true
39:34i i was only
39:36lilith stammered
39:38unable to form a sentence
39:40cassius didn't give her the chance
39:42he placed his hands on her temples
39:44his eyes glowing with an eerie red light
39:46he was reading her memories
39:48lilith screamed in agony
39:50as the spell took hold
39:51cassius's face grew deathly white
39:54i knew what he was seeing
39:55silver daggers carving humiliating words
39:58into my skin
39:59hot iron branding my flesh
40:01my own cries of pain and despair
40:05no
40:05cassius's hands began to shake
40:07no
40:08this isn't real
40:10it can't be
40:11when the spell ended
40:13selena
40:14i didn't know
40:15i truly didn't know
40:18i'm so sorry
40:19i thought it was just simple confinement
40:21i never meant for you to be tortured like that
40:23he didn't know
40:24i looked at him with utter indifference
40:26then slowly pushed up my sleeve
40:28revealing the scars that would never fully heal
40:31you see these
40:31do you still think you can be forgiven
40:34i started toward lilith again
40:36cassius still blocked my path
40:38he opened his mouth
40:39but no words came out
40:41don't kill her
40:42he pulled an ancient looking cross from his coat
40:46she saved my life once
40:48she's the reason i'm alive
40:50if you want revenge
40:52i will die in her place
40:53the moment i saw the cross
40:55my heart skipped a beat
40:56the design was so familiar
40:58just then
40:59the sound of slow clapping came from the doorway
41:02what a performance
41:05cassius
41:05you truly are a fool
41:07that cross belongs to selena's family
41:12dorian's words fell into a dead silence
41:15what
41:17that's impossible
41:19lilith gave this to me
41:22idiot
41:23dorian strode over
41:24and snatched the cross
41:25look closely
41:26you can see the faint initials engraved here
41:29sd
41:29this is the sacred heirloom of her house
41:31passed down through generations
41:33as he spoke
41:34a long buried memory surfaced in my mind
41:37a rainy night
41:38over four hundred years ago
41:40i was wandering in the forest
41:42and found a young vampire
41:44torn apart by werewolves
41:45and clinging to life
41:46i took pity on him
41:48and carried him to a small cabin
41:49using all my precious herbs to heal him
41:52it took over three months of constant care
41:54to pull him back from the brink of death
41:57one day
41:58i returned from gathering supplies
42:00to find he was gone
42:01the family cross i had placed on his chest
42:04for protection was gone too
42:05i assumed he had simply left after recovering
42:08i was a little sad
42:09but i didn't think much of it
42:11over the years the memory had faded completely
42:13until now
42:15it was you
42:16you were the one attacked by werewolves
42:19that cabin
42:20the girl who took care of me
42:23that was you?
42:25no it was me
42:27i saved you
42:29she did nothing
42:33but her lies were pathetic
42:35in the face of the truth
42:36i took the cross back from dorian
42:38my gaze fixed on them
42:40found callius unconscious
42:41took him while i was away
42:43stole my family heirloom
42:44and passed yourself off as his savior
42:47lewis had no more lies to tell
42:49i i
42:50cassius just stood there
42:52a storm of shock
42:53regret
42:54and a strange
42:55wild joy
42:56warring on his face
42:57four hundred years
42:59i've been thanking the wrong person
43:01for four hundred years
43:03you damned liar
43:04you made me misunderstand her for centuries
43:08no
43:09cassius let me explain
43:11i love you
43:12everything i did was for
43:14enough
43:15cassius was in front of her in an instant
43:17because of you
43:18i hurt my true savior
43:20this is all your fault
43:22with a sickening snap
43:23he broke her neck
43:24her body went limp
43:25and fell to the floor
43:26her eyes wide with disbelief
43:29she never imagined
43:30cassius could be so ruthless
43:32after dealing with lilith
43:34cassius turned to me
43:36tears streamed down his face
43:38selena
43:39my savior
43:40i finally found you
43:42please
43:43forgive me for everything
43:45come home with me
43:47i'll spend the rest of my existence
43:49making it up to you
43:51his belated devotion
43:52meant nothing to me
43:53it was too late
43:56the three hundred years of imprisonment
43:58using our child as a vessel for lilith
44:00clara's death
44:01none of it could be undone
44:02i turned to leave
44:04needing to be alone
44:06look out
44:07i spun around just in time
44:09to see a mangled figure lunge
44:11from the shadows behind me
44:12it was julian
44:13he had somehow clawed his way out of the abyss
44:16a demonic revenant with long claws
44:18aimed straight for my heart
44:20if i'm going down
44:21i'm taking you
44:23with me
44:25in that split second
44:26a familiar body moved to shield me
44:29a wet
44:29tearing sound filled the air
44:31as julian's hand
44:32plunged deep into dorian's chest
44:34looking into his deep
44:36devoted eyes as he stumbled
44:38i held him
44:39and my own tears finally began to fall
44:41idiot
44:42his face went pale
44:44but he still gave me a reassuring smile
44:49a progenitor's healing is formidable
44:51dorian's wound was not fatal
44:53but my heart was in turmoil
44:56why
44:57you could have dodged that
45:02because i promised i would protect you
45:07julian roared in frustration
45:09you think it's over
45:13i'm not dead yet
45:14he charged us again
45:15this time
45:16i didn't move
45:17i held out my right hand
45:19and a deep crimson light
45:21gathered in my palm
45:22it was the oldest
45:23most powerful ability
45:24of the dracula bloodline
45:25strong enough to unmake
45:27an ancient vampire
45:28julian's power was a flickering candle
45:30against my inferno
45:31i didn't kill him quickly
45:33i stripped his power away
45:34piece by piece
45:35letting him feel true despair
45:37mighty julian shriveled
45:39into a common bat
45:40trembling on the floor
45:41you will live out the rest of your days in this form
45:45and you will never forget the lesson you learnt today
45:48with julian's final defeat
45:50the weight on my soul finally lifted
45:53the pain of centuries receded like a tide
45:56replaced by a profound sense of peace
45:58my power settled
45:59stronger and purer than ever before
46:02cassius looked at me with an even deeper obsession
46:05reaching out to touch
46:06go cassius
46:07let's pretend i never saved you
46:09and never disturb my life again
46:11i stepped away
46:12ignoring his ashen face
46:14i turned and helped dorian away
46:17months later
46:18dorian was fully healed
46:20during his recovery
46:22he had been shamelessly direct with his affections
46:25i'd gone from blushing to being completely used to it
46:29this morning he presented me with another bouquet of roses
46:32selena
46:34will you accept my love today
46:36he asked with a smile
46:39i will
46:45i will
46:46that's all right
46:47that's all right i'll just ask again tomorrow
46:48dorian's hopeful smile thought
46:50what
46:51then erupted into pure joy
46:52are you serious
46:53you said yes
46:55i couldn't help but laugh at his rare loss of composure
46:59you heard me correctly
47:01i will make you happy
47:02dorian said
47:03pulling me into a fierce embrace
47:07i'll guard you with my life
47:09the news spread like wildfire
47:11the progenitor dorian was to take selene
47:14the dracal princess
47:15as his mate
47:16clan leaders from all corners of the world
47:18came to witness the unprecedented ceremony
47:21the ancient castle was decorated in splendor
47:23more magnificent than it had been in centuries
47:29today i declare in my name as progenitor
47:32that selena will be my mate
47:34my equal in status and power
47:36he bit his own wrist and in front of everyone
47:39made a blood oath
47:40if i ever betray this vow
47:41may i walk into the sun and be consumed by holy fire
47:45the oath sent a shockwave through the vampire world
47:48a progenitor
47:49willing to stake his very existence on a promise
47:52such devotion was unheard of
47:54in the distance
47:55cassius watched us
47:57his gaze vacant and broken
47:59his body was covered in fresh scars from silver burns
48:02he had foolishly believed that by punishing himself
48:05he could earn my forgiveness one day
48:07instead
48:08he got an invitation to our wedding
48:10i ignored his shattered expression
48:12and confidently took dorian's hand
48:14how does it feel
48:16i smiled
48:17it feels strange
48:18and it feels wonderful
48:20we stood together
48:21looking out over the domain that was now ours
48:24with dorian by my side
48:26i looked toward a new dawn
48:27ready to embrace a future
48:29i would build with my own hands
48:31now
48:31a new one
48:32one of love
48:34and empire
