The Progenitor Avenged Her HD

Short filmTranscript
00:00300 years ago, at my wedding to Julian, he attacked me, desperate for the drop of precious
00:06progenitor blood in my veins. He left me for dead and slaughtered my entire clan. As I lay dying,
00:13I was found by the vampire prince, Cassius. He took me home. He cherished me. My weakness,
00:21my lost power, none of it mattered. He even threw us a lavish wedding. Even though it weakened him,
00:27he fed me his own blood every day when I became pregnant. Against all odds, I thought he was my
00:34salvation. Until today, when I overheard him talking to his underling. The parasite is nearly
00:40whole. 300 years of waiting are finally over. Soon, Lilith will be reborn in her womb,
00:48and I can finally give her the perfect, immortal body she deserves.
00:53And Lady Selina? She's just the vessel. Lilith saved me. I owe her everything.
01:02Once Lilith is born, I'll drain every last drop of ancient blood from Selina's body and give Lilith
01:08true immortality. A chill crept up from my feet and settled deep in my heart. 300 years of a
01:16loving marriage. All of it, an elaborate lie. History was repeating itself. I had fallen into
01:22a man's trap. Again. Isn't that a bit cruel, my lord? After all,
01:27she's been the prince's wife for three centuries. That title was always meant for Lilith. I've let
01:33her enjoy it for 300 years. Besides, if I hadn't found her, she would have died at Julian's hands,
01:39wouldn't she? What if she finds out?
01:41She won't. She's too in love with me. Even if she suspects something, she won't dare believe it.
01:48And now, she's addicted to my blood and the elixirs. She can't survive without them.
01:54I covered my mouth and stumbled back to my room, shaking.
01:59My handmaiden Clara brought in two goblets. One held Cassius's blood. The other,
02:05the special elixir he'd found for me, said to protect the fetus and help it grow strong.
02:10My lady, the prince is so good to you. He specifically told me to watch you drink them
02:14every day. Good to me? I touched my swollen belly and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
02:22He had been good to me. Anyone who saw us would have sworn he was madly in love.
02:27Later, when I mourned for my clan, he spared no expense, building me a perfect replica of the
02:33castle I grew up in. He kissed my forehead back then.
02:39I would do anything to see you happy.
02:41That was why I fell for him. It's why I was willing to risk everything for him.
02:46Even the near impossible danger of a vampire pregnancy. But now I see it. It wasn't me he
02:52cherished. It was my body. The vessel. No wonder he was moved to tears when I became pregnant.
02:58No wonder this child, which should have taken two centuries to term, was nearly due after only one.
03:05I grabbed the goblet of blood and drained it in one go. As for the other, I poured it onto
03:10the floor.
03:11My lady, what are you...
03:13Shh. Trust me. Don't say a word.
03:17My belly clenched again as the thing inside me moved. More violently this time. I know now, this wasn't my
03:23child. It was Lilith's soul.
03:25Can't wait to get out? Too bad. Your little plan is about to go up in smoke.
03:32I went to my vanity and pulled an old map from the back of a drawer. I found it. The
03:38Sunstone Sanctuary. A forbidden place. Rumored to be filled with deadly, sacred light.
03:44It was also the only place that could purify a corrupt soul. If I could survive its holy fire, I
03:51could kill the parasite in my womb for good.
03:53I would rather die than be a pawn in Cassius's game. I stared at my reflection. A fire of vengeance
04:00burning in my eyes. I swore an oath. If I survived the holy fire, I would burn the crimson court
04:07to ash.
04:09And I would make Cassius pay a price he would never forget. For all eternity.
04:21I couldn't let it grow unchecked. I had to suppress it. I desperately called upon what little remained of my
04:28ancient bloodline's power, trying to cage the parasite in my womb.
04:36It was a gift from Cassius for our hundredth wedding anniversary.
04:40I wrote this melody for you. So whenever you hear it, you'll remember.
04:47The beautiful moment we first met.
04:50I had been moved to tears. How ironic.
04:56Selena! I heard you cry out. What happened?
05:00It's nothing. Just the baby kicking a little hard. You know, I was just thinking. The diamonds on this box
05:06are lovely.
05:06Why don't we have them reset into a new piece of jewelry? My tastes have changed a bit since becoming
05:11pregnant.
05:12No! I want to save this box for...
05:16Save it for who?
05:18For our child. It has sentimental value.
05:22He was lying. That's not what he was about to say.
05:25A tide of fury washed over me, and I lost all control.
05:29With all my might, I threw the music box toward the fireplace.
05:33No!
05:34The fire engulfed his hand, the smell of burning flesh filling the air.
05:39But he seemed to feel no pain, his only concern to protect the box.
05:43When he pulled it from the fire, one corner was charred, revealing the inscription inside.
05:47To Lilith, my eternal beloved.
05:53The music box was never for me.
05:55The token of love I had cherished for 300 years was a gift for another woman.
06:01Hate and humiliation consumed me.
06:04I swept all the jewelry Cassius had ever given me off the vanity and onto the floor.
06:10This was all for her, wasn't it?
06:13I was just a standing.
06:15A vessel fell!
06:18Selene, what are you doing? Calm down!
06:21Just kept throwing his so-called mementos into the fire.
06:24Enough!
06:26Keep this up, and I'll throw you in the silver cells myself.
06:30I froze.
06:31The silver cells.
06:33Even a prince as powerful as him grew weakly.
06:36He wanted to lock me, his pregnant wife, in that place?
06:40Selene, listen to me.
06:42Stop this foolishness.
06:44I'll give you anything you want.
06:47New jewelry?
06:48I bit my lip, refusing to speak.
06:51I could only stare at the music box in his hand, my heart burning with pure hatred.
06:56He tried to soothe me, but I just closed my eyes, refusing to look at him.
07:02And the last shred of tenderness vanished from his face.
07:06Fine.
07:07Have it your way.
07:10His voice, ice cold.
07:12He waved his hand.
07:14Take her away.
07:15The silver cells were in the castle's deepest dungeon, their walls forged from pure silver.
07:21For a vampire, it was hell on earth.
07:24The guard was a grim-faced bloodthrall.
07:28My lady, why must you provoke the master?
07:31Just then, a wave of powerful, evil energy surged from within me.
07:36To my horror, I saw the guard's normal gaze turn vacant.
07:42Finally, I can finally control things out here.
07:45That wasn't the guard's voice.
07:47It was Lilith.
07:48Her soul was already strong enough to possess a human?
07:52He grabbed me and slammed me onto a raft covered in silver spikes.
08:04The Lilith-controlled thrall hissed.
08:07Ah, what exquisite pain.
08:11You know, for the last hundred years in your womb, I've had to endure every moment of you and Cassius'
08:18intimacy.
08:19Now it's your turn to taste a little pain.
08:22You, you, you, you, Parasite!
08:30Parasite?
08:31The pain was so intense, I nearly blacked out.
08:34I'm just taking back what's mine.
08:37Cassius was always mine.
08:39If my own transformation hadn't failed, I would be the one sitting on the prince's throne.
08:44She used the thrall's hands to pick up a silver dagger, then slowly carved the word whore into the flesh
08:53of my other arm.
08:54The silver blades sizzled against my skin.
09:00Look at this beautiful wound.
09:02Listen to that lovely scream.
09:05And the smell of burning flesh.
09:08So delightful.
09:10You should feel honored to give everything for my rebirth.
09:14My heart hammered against my ribs, threatening to stop at any moment.
09:18My vision blackened, my consciousness fading.
09:22Just as I was about to pass out, Cassius, in his chambers, suddenly woke from his sleep.
09:30Go to the silver cells and check on Selina.
09:33I've prepared her favorite ruby necklace.
09:35If she's ready to apologize, let her out.
09:39That thrall, also secretly under Lilith's control, bowed respectfully.
09:44Yes, master.
09:45He returned.
09:47Master, the lady is still throwing a tantrum.
09:50She refuses to see you and said some very unpleasant things.
09:56If she's not sorry, then let her rot down there, until she comes to her senses.
10:03Meanwhile, in the silver cells, I had completely lost consciousness.
10:07Sensing her host's life force fading, Lilith was forced to stop the torture.
10:12She needed me alive, at least until the moment of her birth.
10:16A warm energy flowed from my womb, mending my damaged heart.
10:20She was feeding her own power back into me, just enough to keep my heart beating.
10:24Pain pulled me back to reality.
10:26I opened my eyes to find myself still tied to the rack.
10:29Awake?
10:30Good.
10:31That was just the appetizer.
10:34Now for the main course.
10:35A violent slam came from my belly, as if something was trying to tear its way out.
10:40Every impact was agony.
10:43Feel that?
10:44That's for the hundred years you've restrained and suppressed me?
10:47Now I'm going to make you pay back.
10:50A hundred times over.
10:52For every ounce of Cassia's affection you enjoyed.
10:56Every kiss.
10:58Every sweet word.
11:00They were all meant for me!
11:03A horrific scream ripped from my throat, echoing through the silver cells.
11:09Cassius felt a phantom pain and shot upright in bed.
11:12Master, what's wrong?
11:14I...
11:14I thought I heard something.
11:16Never mind, probably a nightmare.
11:18Selina is stubborn.
11:20Maybe then she'll learn not to be so much trouble.
11:22He lay back down and was soon fast asleep.
11:24But I remained in the silver cells, enduring inhuman torture every second and eternity.
11:30Just when I thought I would die there, a familiar figure appeared silently outside the cell door.
11:36Clara...
11:37My lady?
11:38Using an invisibility spell to slip past the guards...
11:42My lady, what... what happened?
11:45I couldn't speak.
11:49This is the last of the potent blood.
11:51Using my last ounce of strength, I took the vial and drank it all.
11:56It would only last a few hours, but it would be enough.
11:59A few hours.
12:01Enough to get to the Sunstone Sanctuary.
12:04Enough to kill the disgusting parasite in my womb.
12:08My lady, where are you going?
12:11To the place where this all ends.
12:13Clara, if I don't make it back, you must live.
12:17Get away from this place.
12:19Far away.
12:20I vanished from the silver-laced cell.
12:24Master! Master! Something happened!
12:27Huh?
12:29What is all this commotion?
12:31The lady, she's gone. The silver cell is empty.
12:35Impossible.
12:36Where would she go without me?
12:38In this entire world of our kind, she has nowhere to run, no one to protect her.
12:42She's probably just sulking in a corner somewhere.
12:44But Master, we've looked everywhere.
12:46There's not even a trace of her scent.
12:50What did you say? You've looked everywhere?
12:52Yes, from the dungeons to the highest tower.
12:54Every single corner.
12:57Tear this place apart if you have to!
13:00Find her!
13:01Soon, the entire Crimson Court was in an uproar.
13:04After a fruitless search, a thought struck Cassius.
13:08He strode to a jewelry box and pulled out a necklace set with a blood-red gem.
13:12It was his wedding gift to me, infused with a drop of his own blood, allowing him to sense the
13:18wearer's location, closing his eyes to focus.
13:21The Northwest, she's heading for the Hallowed Temple.
13:25He activated the necklace's link.
13:26Selina, what game are you playing? Stop this nonsense at once!
13:31Come back now, and I will forgive you.
13:35At that moment, I was struggling through a forest of thorns when the necklace on my chest grew hot, and
13:41Cassius' angry voice echoed from it.
13:44Forgive me? What right did he have to forgive me?
13:46It glinted once in the moonlight, then was swallowed by the darkness.
13:51Cassius felt the connection severe. The color drained from his face.
13:56Selina, what are you doing?
13:58I had already reached the outskirts of the palace.
14:02This was it. The legendary, hallowed Temple of Light.
14:14So this was the power of the night. It was as terrible as they said.
14:19I gritted my teeth. A vampire's healing is strong, and the burns began to mend.
14:24Lilith, within me, let out a terrified scream.
14:28No! You're insane! You'll kill us both!
14:32Then we'll die together, I sneered, forcing myself forward.
14:37A second beam of light struck, more powerful than the first.
14:41I coughed up blood and fell to my knees, but I could feel the light had also seared the parasite
14:46within me.
14:47Her soul was weakening under the assault.
14:50It's working.
14:51Just then, a shadow blurred past.
14:54Selina!
14:55A third beam of holy light was gathering in the sky, more terrifying than the last two combined.
15:02As it was about to fall, Cassius dove in front of me, taking half the blast with his own body.
15:08He spat a mouthful of black blood and crashed to the ground.
15:11But the other half still hit me.
15:14Already exhausted, I couldn't take any more.
15:16I collapsed.
15:17An unimaginable pain tore through my abdomen, like something was ripping me apart from the inside.
15:23But I managed a weak smile.
15:29Selina, why?
15:31Why would you hurt yourself like this?
15:34Because I'd rather die than be your vessel.
15:38Shock and guilt flashed in his eyes.
15:42I don't know what you're talking about.
15:44I can explain.
15:45But before he could touch me, Lilith clawed her way into the world.
15:49With the sound of tearing flesh, Lilith emerged from my body.
15:53Blood poured from the wound.
15:55She scrambled toward Cassius, blind to her own monstrous form.
15:59The holy light and premature birth had made her a twisted hybrid, half vampire, half human.
16:05She had a vampire's fangs, but her body was frail and skeletal.
16:09A pale wisp of a thing.
16:12Cassius, help me.
16:15Horror and disgust warred on Cassius' face.
16:18Lilith's pleas became more desperate.
16:21Cassius, she tried to kill me.
16:24She brought me to this awful place to burn me with holy light.
16:28If you hadn't come, I would have never seen you again.
16:31Selina, for centuries I have treated you well.
16:34Well, all I asked was to use your body to bring Lilith back.
16:38How could you be so cruel?
16:40Cruel?
16:41My only regret is that I didn't kill her completely!
16:45Silence!
16:48Cassius, I feel like I'm fading.
16:51I need more power to hold this form.
16:54Her ancient bloodline, if I had it, I could become a true vampire.
16:59You promised me.
17:00Fine.
17:02I will get it for you.
17:03He walked toward me, a flicker of conflict in his eyes that quickly turned to cold murder.
17:09Three hundred years.
17:11I was good to you.
17:13Now, it's time for you to serve your final purpose.
17:17My heart filled with despair.
17:19Was this how it ended?
17:20Killed by the man who betrayed me?
17:22I won't let it.
17:23I won't!
17:24Stop.
17:25A deep voice resonating with power cuts through the air.
17:28In the next instant, Cassius was thrown aside,
17:31the silver blade clattering to the ground.
17:33I opened my eyes to see a tall figure standing over me.
17:37He had hair as black as ink and deep, violet eyes.
17:41He radiated an ancient and immense power.
17:45Who are you?
17:46The man ignored him, turning to look at me.
17:48When I saw his face, a strange sense of familiarity washed over me.
17:52Don't be afraid.
17:53Don't be afraid.
17:54You're safe now.
17:55He bent down and lifted me into his arms.
17:58Don't you dare!
17:59Take her!
18:00With just a look, Cassius, a prince of his own court, was frozen in place, bound by an unseen force.
18:07A mere descendant, dares to act so brazenly in my presence.
18:11Try that again, and I will wipe your crimson court from existence.
18:18To my astonishment, not only were my wounds healed, but even the gash in my stomach had vanished without a
18:24scar.
18:25And memories, long lost memories, were flooding in.
18:28I were flooding my mind.
18:30The man who saved me was Dorian, a powerful progenitor vampire.
18:34It was at my 200th birthday celebration.
18:36I had wandered off and stumbled upon his ancient castle.
18:39He didn't turn me away.
18:41Instead, he welcomed me with a gentle kindness.
18:44We spent a blissful time together.
18:46I sometimes caught a complex, loving look in his eyes, but I was already engaged.
18:51We both understood and never crossed that line.
18:54Before he entered one of his long slumbers, he gave me a drop of his own progenitor blood as a
18:59coming-of-age gift.
19:00To protect me, I never imagined that very gift would bring about my ruin.
19:05You're awake.
19:06The familiar voice came from the doorway.
19:08Dorian entered, holding a crystal goblet filled with blood that smelled intoxicatingly sweet.
19:16My own heart's blood.
19:18It will help you recover your strength.
19:23You... how did you find me?
19:25Because I love you.
19:26The moment I awoke, I went to find you.
19:29I never expected to...
19:32You had a fiancé then, and I was about to fall into slumber.
19:37I couldn't give you any promises.
19:40But now, Selina, please give me a chance.
19:43Let me take care of you.
19:46Darian?
19:49Right now, all I want is revenge.
19:52Julian stole my bloodline and slaughtered my clan.
19:56Cassius used and deceived me for 300 years.
19:59I will make them pay.
20:01I will help you.
20:03Your enemies are my enemies.
20:05Over the next seven days, under Dorian's care, my strength returned with incredible speed.
20:11Just as I was preparing to hunt down Julian, an unexpected visitor arrived.
20:18Selina, my love.
20:20I finally found you.
20:24These past years, I have lived every day in repentance.
20:28I've missed you so much.
20:30I don't know what came over me back then.
20:34To have hurt you so.
20:38Please, forgive me.
20:40Come back to me.
20:42These 300 years without you have been a living hell.
20:46If my memories hadn't returned, I might have actually been moved by his performance.
20:51But now, I could see right through it.
20:54To the greed and calculation in his eyes.
20:57His body was rejecting my progenitor blood.
21:00He couldn't control its power.
21:02That was the only reason he had come looking for me.
21:08Julian, are you done with your act?
21:11The pain of my stolen blood.
21:14The murder of my entire family.
21:17Today, you will pay for it all.
21:20Dorian handed me a dagger forged of black obsidian.
21:24It was forged from the bones of an ancient demon.
21:28It's poison to our kind.
21:31Use it.
21:32End this.
21:33When Julian saw the dagger in my hand, his veneer of remorse shattered.
21:38If you won't do this the easy way, then don't blame me for what comes next.
21:44You think a little restored power makes you a match for me?
21:48I am an ancient, thousands of years old.
21:52In a flash, his hand shot toward my throat.
22:03That was just the beginning.
22:06The agony I felt when you tore my blood from me.
22:10I'm going to return it to you, tenfold.
22:15Julian dodged clumsily, horrified to find that despite his superior age, he was losing ground.
22:27No!
22:28No!
22:29This is impossible!
22:30I consumed your progenitor blood.
22:33My power should be far greater than yours!
22:45A shame.
22:46It never truly belonged to you.
22:51Black, corrupted blood gushed out.
22:54At the same time, the blood in my own veins began to stir.
23:00He felt something inside him shift, fighting to escape.
23:05What are you doing?
23:15It was my progenitor blood, stolen 300 years ago.
23:30An incredible surge of power exploded within me.
23:34So this is the true power of a progenitor.
23:37Julian, refusing to give up, lunged one last time.
23:42Dorian simply waved a hand, and he was sent flying backward.
23:46You overestimate yourself.
23:49Selina, allow me to dispose of him for you.
23:52You needn't dirty your hands.
23:55I didn't object.
23:57Julian was dragged away, and hurled into the chasm behind the castle.
24:01A bottomless, dark abyss.
24:04Let him enjoy an eternity of solitude and hunger down there.
24:10Vengeance was mine, but the triumph I'd expected felt hollow.
24:15Instead, thinking of my fallen family, a wave of profound grief washed over me.
24:21Father, mother, my brothers and sisters.
24:24They were never coming back.
24:27Selina.
24:31I know.
24:33Even revenge can't fill the void of losing the ones you love.
24:37They're all gone.
24:39All of them.
24:40The grief I'd suppressed for 300 years finally breaking free.
24:45I'm the last one.
24:48No.
24:49You're not alone.
24:50From now on, I will always be with you.
24:53For a hundred years.
24:55A thousand.
24:56For all of eternity.
24:58I will never leave you.
24:59His words were like warmth seeping into a frozen heart.
25:03But having been betrayed twice, I couldn't give my trust away so easily.
25:07I leaned against him, lost in thought.
25:10This time, can I believe him?
25:14The next evening, I returned to the ruins of my family's estate.
25:18The once grand castle of the Dracul clan was now just a pile of rubble, overgrown with thorns and weeds.
25:26I knelt in the center of the ruins and performed the ancient rite of mourning.
25:43The night wind moaned through the wreckage, as if the souls of my family were answering me.
25:49The ritual ended late into the night.
25:52I dragged my weary body back to Dorian's castle.
25:56But that night, the nightmares returned.
25:59In my dreams, I was back in that night of blood 300 years ago.
26:04Surrounded our home, the sky was red with fire, the ground slick with blood.
26:11I watched as a silver dagger pierced my father's chest, as my mother died before my eyes, as my people
26:18fell, one by one.
26:26But it was useless.
26:29The blood stained everything.
26:32My lady, wake up!
26:37Clara was looking at me with concern.
26:40Clara?
26:42How are you here?
26:44I thought...
26:45I managed to escape.
26:49I've been looking for you for so long, my lady.
26:52I studied her, but something felt wrong.
26:55The face and voice were the same, but her expression, something was missing.
27:00Clara.
27:02Did you happen to bring my favorite emerald ring with you?
27:05A flicker of panic crossed Clara's face.
27:07My lady, I...
27:08I left in such a hurry, I forgot it.
27:11I'm so sorry.
27:13Her answer sent alarm bells ringing in my head.
27:16I never owned an emerald ring.
27:21I see.
27:22Come here, Clara.
27:24Let me see if you were hurt.
27:30The moment the silver hit, Clara shrieked, her features twisting and melting.
27:39You damned bitch.
27:41How did you know?
27:43Because I've never owned an emerald ring.
27:46Clara was with me for centuries.
27:49She would have known that.
27:51So clever!
27:53Too bad your loyal little servant is already dead!
27:56What did you say?
27:59That traitor?
28:00I tortured her to death in the silver cells for letting you escape.
28:04She was still whispering about protecting you right before she died.
28:09Pathetic.
28:10Clara.
28:11The last of my people.
28:13Dead?
28:13Because she tried to save me?
28:15Rage and grief erupted inside me like a volcano.
28:19I lunged forward and wrapped my hands around Lilith's throat.
28:22For the pain you caused me in that dungeon!
28:25And for Clara's life!
28:27You will repay every drop of pain and Clara's life.
28:31In blood!
28:33Lilith's face began to turn purple.
28:35She clawed at my wrists, but my grip was like iron.
28:38Wait!
28:39You hurt me.
28:42And Cassius will never forgive you.
28:47Cassius?
28:48Cassius?
28:52Right now, I have more than enough power to kill you both.
28:56After the morning ritual, the souls of my ancestors had found peace, and their remaining power had flowed into me.
29:03The pure blood of the Dracul clan coursed through my veins, stronger than it had been 300 years ago.
29:10Just as I was about to snap her neck...
29:13Stop!
29:14Have a great day!
29:16...
