Catch her!

That horrible dream again. Good thing vampires don't exist in real life.

And I certainly won't find any here, at Stone University.

Famous artists, politicians, and scientists of the country have studied

within these walls.

And I was lucky enough to receive a special scholarship.

Most students here come from wealthy families.

But I'm an orphan.

So I won't waste my only chance at a better future.

Ready? Let's give this year's victim a proper welcome.

Poor little orphan.

She has no idea what we're going to put her through.

Looks like she stole that bag from her grandmother.

At that moment, I knew I wouldn't be making any friends here.

And then, she appeared.

Kristen Stone.

The most desirable girl at the university.

Daughter of one of the most powerful women in the country, and the Academy's

main patron.

You've ruined my clothes.

And... my skin.

I'm sorry, let me wipe it off.

Lick it off.

But the most popular girl on campus turned out to be a real monster.

A monster with a nice neckline, though.

What did you just say?

I said, lick the paint off my skin.

With your tongue.

Darling, is this new girl bothering you?

I'll deal with her.

I've got this.

She just doesn't get how things work around here yet.

I get it.

You're a jerk.

I like that sharp tongue of yours.

You're going to need it when you lick the paint off.

Go!

Ask your boyfriend to do it.

I'm here to study.

You've picked the wrong enemy little orphan.

You smell like young blood.

Wow. The new girl just challenged stone herself.

Looks like the orphan won't make it to the ritual sacrifice.

You'll regret this.

But for now, live.

Too soon.

My first day at the university was a disaster.

But these predators won't break me.

I'm staying here, no matter what.

Don't worry about her.

She doesn't have many days left.

I can't believe that little orphan humiliated you like that.

Is Kristen Stone losing her touch?

My touch is none of your business.

I'm going to turn that little upstart's life into a living nightmare.

What if we release a swarm of bats into her room?

That'll knock the nerve right out of her.

Doubt it.

Ugly creatures are basically her best friends from the orphanage.

I liked her, actually.

Not many girls can stand up to Christine Stone herself.

Say that again?

You heard me.

She's cute.

And brave.

Did you really think she was going to lick the paint off you?

That was too far.

Even for you.

Nobody in this university dares to refuse Christine Stone.

Especially not an orphan.

So exactly how are you planning to teach her a lesson?

In a way where the entire academy watches that little orphan crawl on her

knees before me.

I hoped yesterday's confrontation with Christine was behind me, and I could

just focus on studying.

Hey, orphan.

But Christine Stone turned my life at the university into hell.

Maybe at least the ice cream you'd agree to lick?

Long time no see, orphan.

I missed you. I didn't. I have more important things to think about than

you.

You're so naive.

Your studies and everything in this university depends on me and on whether

you do what I want or not.

And what exactly do you want from me?

Obedience. If you want to survive at Stone University, remember three rules.

What rules?

Rule one.

You do everything I say. What are you talking about?

Rule two, no questions. I speak, you do.

And rule three, always obey me.

There we go. Good girl.

Rule four, don't touch me. Your touch disgusts me.

Do you even know who my mother is? One word from me and you're gone.

I know that without your mother, you're nobody.

I've seen worse at the group home. A spoiled rich girl's twisted rules don't

scare me.

I said stop.

And right then, when things seemed like they couldn't get worse, the most

humiliating moment of my life arrived.

The orphan's only been

here two days, and she's already seducing the queen of the university?

I'll explain to this witch that the Queen has a king, and crossing him is

very dangerous.

I told you, just don't break the rules.

Give it back right now, you pervert!

How interesting.

I wonder what Director Grey will say when he finds out the new girl is

shamelessly seducing other girls instead of studying.

But she's the one who won't leave me alone.

Do you really think the most desirable girl at the university is hitting on

you?

Sweetie, looks like you've been watching too many adult films.

I wanted to disappear into the ground from shame.

And of course, I had no idea what was about to happen next.

Chris, what are you doing? Stop.

Thank you.

Looks like the orphan's charm works on guys and girls.

It's not her charm they're drawn to.

It's her human blood.

What's gotten into you, Stan? Does she really appeal to you that much?

Chris, this is too much, even for a witch like you.

Go. Now.

I'll handle the rest.

I was looking for a friend, and I think I found one.

But I still didn't understand why was he protecting me.

You'll regret this, Stan.

You won't do anything to me, Chris.

We're family, even if it's just cousins.

You? Maybe not.

But that little orphan had better not show her face at the university

tomorrow.

The next day, art class had a new surprise waiting for me. You're working

with me today. There are no free spots left.

Kristen again, that she-devil.

I was afraid to even imagine what she'd come up with this time.

Kristen, should we expect another strip-seize from the orphan?

Seems like it's the only way she knows how to get attention.

You're making me a laughingstock on purpose.

Sitting next to you, disgust is me.

You don't have a choice.

Though, I'll admit, yesterday at the pool, I went a bit too far.

Should I take that as an apology?

I never apologize.

I don't have time for your half-apologies.

The project review is tomorrow.

If I don't submit my sculpture, I'm out.

You'll work on your project later.

Right now, I have other plans for you.

What was that?

Don't mind it. I dropped something.

Let's see if you're actually talented.

Enough to deserve the Stone Scholarship.

I didn't know where this change in Kristen

was coming from.

I tried to focus on the clay, but it was difficult.

Good start.

Let's see what comes next.

Beautiful lines.

Who taught you to work with clay?

No one.

Self-taught.

The shelter had some old textbooks and materials.

Let me show you.

I've done this hundreds of times.

Hundreds of times?

But where?

My mother is obsessed with art.

She taught me.

But she says my hands are too rough for delicate sculptures.

Don't listen to her. You have perfect hands.

I mean technique.

I knew Kristen was crossing a line,

but...

I didn't want her to stop.

I have to go.

That orphan thinks she can seduce my fiancé.

But those who come after what's mine don't live long.

To finish my project, I worked through the entire night.

But someone kept distracting my thoughts Someone I was supposed to hate

Your

lines are perfect

Do

you want me to continue?

Yes

I didn't understand what was happening to my body.

Because Kristen is a girl and my worst enemy.

So why were these fantasies so sweet?

So will you be mine?

Yes.

I had to get control of myself.

Christenin is a danger.

I was supposed to despise her, but instead all I could think about was her

lips.

That was my real hell.

I'd barely slept, but the sculpture was finished.

I even let myself think that everything would be alright.

Not bad, orphan.

Thank you.

What did you just do?

Looks like the orphan's in trouble again.

Stop whining. That sculpture was hideous anyway.

Consider it a favor. I saved you from embarrassing yourself in front of the

director.

My hope that things would be all right shattered with that sculpture.

And my place at the university was suddenly at risk.

I'm barely holding it together.

Don't look at her. Force himself. Don't look.

Hold yourself together.

It's almost impossible.

I want her blood.

I couldn't figure out what was happening.

Did Kristen Stone actually want to kiss me?

But why now?

And why so suddenly?

I can't hold back anymore.

I want... Want what?

I want...

What

the hell?

Mother? Good afternoon, Mrs. There's nothing good about this, Miss.

The Stone Scholarship funds well-bred ladies, not girls like you.

But I was just... Go back to your classes.

I did not fund this university so you could chase after every worthless girl

who walks through the door.

I am not worthless.

Mother! And fix your hair!

I have told you a hundred times, wearing it down doesn't suit you.

You are here because of me.

If I see anything like this again, you will be gone from this university and

sweeping the streets.

But Mrs. Stone... And clean up your blood.

It reeks through the entire university.

Mrs.

Stone, what an honor. You're as enchanting as ever. Time has no power

over you.

Deal with that.

It should be studying, not corrupting my daughter.

Good heavens.

Did this girl really dare to behave like that?

I'll teach her proper manners, Mrs. Stone.

Miss White.

This is a respectable university.

Looking to get expelled before your first exams?

But it wasn't my fault.

My sculpture was destroyed.

I worked on it all night.

And then... Mrs. Stone personally believed in you.

What am I supposed to tell her now? That you're making a spectacle of yourself?

You'd expel me over one mistake?

We might.

But first, you'll be punished.

My office.

Now!

I am so sick of her always finding fault with everything and deciding everything

for me.

What hairstyle to wear.

What to study.

And now who I can and can't kiss.

I hope kissing me is still on the list.

What are you doing here?

Missing my fiancé.

Much better.

I'm not your fiancé, Victor.

We broke up, remember?

I remember us taking a break.

But no one cancelled the engagement.

I also remember what you used to love when I did certain things to you.

Victor, stop.

Or what?

There's the Christine Stone I know.

Damn it.

Yes.

I don't think this is a good idea.

Seems like your body thinks differently.

Victor, damn it. Not now.

No, I can't. Stop.

What the hell, Kristen?

It's because of that orphan, isn't it?

Have you switched leagues?

I saw the way you looked at her in the pool.

Eva has nothing to do with this.

Eva? She has a name now?

We are engaged, Kristen.

Our families arranged it before we were born.

So whether you like it or not, you will marry me and your precious Eva's blood.

I'll savor it in a few days at the ritual.

The orphan is done.

She's pushed me too far.

do you see this woman this is the extraordinary mrs stone she

paid for your scholarship and for everything in this university i

know and i'm deeply grateful to her grateful

you were hitting on her daughter in front of everyone is that what you call

gratitude

a misunderstanding.

I'm not that kind of girl. Please give me another chance. I'll do anything.

What a woman.

I honestly don't know what you could possibly do to make her forgive you.

Tell me, how many years did you live in the group home?

All 18 years of my life.

I never knew my parents.

That explains why you have no idea how real ladies conduct themselves.

Very well.

Organize an art hall and we'll consider you reformed.

But the ball is in three days. I can't do that alone.

You won't be alone.

I'll help.

But Miss Stone... I said...

I will be Eva's assistant.

Why did you volunteer to organize the ball with me?

Because I wanted to.

Why, all of a sudden?

You've been humiliating me this whole time, and now you want to save me?

I intend to do whatever I want with you.

Saving you is not on the list.

I should have pushed her away.

But my heart was pounding and my body had gone still, waiting to see what she

would do next.

Admit it.

You're trembling right now not because you're scared, but because I'm this

close. Am I right?

Don't count on it!

We're organizing the ball together, that's all.

Whether there's anything more than that isn't for you to decide.

It infuriated me that Kristen acted like the whole world revolved around her.

And at the same time, I couldn't take my eyes off her.

Kristen is mine.

Stay away from her, orphan.

I'll admit, I get it.

Kristen is hot.

But are you really willing to die for her?

Because if I see you with her one more time, that's exactly what will happen.

Kristen? Kristen means nothing to me. And yet you seduce her every single day?

But she's the one who won't leave me alone!

Victor, she's right.

Kristen has been going after her.

Are you saying my fiance chose some girl over me?

I didn't know why Peter and Joey had taken my side.

It didn't matter. The ball was coming, my chance to stay at the university.

That is, if Victor didn't find a way to get rid of me first.

What the hell is going on here?

You almost killed her and she's the sacrifice for the ball. You can't touch

her before the ball. It's the law. Break it and they'll kill us.

You're both cowards.

And here I thought we were friends. We are friends.

That's exactly why we're keeping you from making a mistake.

My only mistake is you two.

No matter.

I'll find someone with more nerve to get rid of this orphan.

After yesterday's scenes, all I wanted was to get the ballroom ready.

And forget about Kristen and her unhinged fiancé.

But not thinking about Kristen was simply impossible.

You missed my touch so much you decided to fall on me?

Next time, just ask.

Don't break my ribs.

You have a very high opinion of yourself and your touch.

Maybe.

But I'm not quite the heartless witch you think I am.

I don't think about you at all.

I have far more interesting things going on.

Your personality is something else.

Did you think you could survive a group home with any other kind of personality?

You're either strong or you get crushed.

Funny. My mother has the same rules as your group home.

If you want to survive, you have to be stronger than everyone else.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

Sorry.

I grew up without parents, and that's why I had to be strong.

But it must hurt in a different way to have family and still have no one to

lean on.

Eva, you're so tender.

I didn't understand what was happening between us, but that kiss became the

best moment of my life.

Victor, calm down. We were just getting the ballroom ready. I can see your

preparation.

You, you sneaky little liar.

What are you doing?

Let go!

You want to fight on equal terms?

Let's go then.

Victor, it won't be equal. Stop.

Kristen! She'll be fine.

Come on. Come at me.

You think because Kristen kissed you, it means something to her?

It does mean something.

If Kristen truly loved you the way you tell everyone, she wouldn't have kissed

me.

Love, don't make me laugh.

Let me make this clear.

Kristen is my fiancé.

She belongs to me.

And if I want, you will be mine too.

You smell so sweet.

But I will not allow you or anyone else to take what is mine.

Have you completely lost it over your jealousy?

The ball is in two days. Have you forgotten?

I've forgotten nothing, darling.

But I've decided to spill a little blood early.

Stop it!

Oh, look.

Another hero lover.

Victor, you're breaking every rule. Look who's talking!

Enough.

Really?

Have you thought about what happens tomorrow at the ball when your new

girlfriend finds out the truth?

What will you do then, my dear fiancé?

You should shut your mouth and go, Victor.

I'll go.

With you.

Unless you want me to tell your little orphan more than she needs to know?

You're out of your mind!

What a pair those two are.

You okay?

In one piece?

I'm fine, but... What truth was Victor talking about? What am I going to find

out at the ball?

Don't listen to him. He just wanted to scare you. Stan, I asked a question, and

I'm not leaving until you tell me everything.

All right.

It's your life, and you deserve to know the truth.

So you're saying the ball decides what happens to the scholarship students?

Yes, it's an old tradition.

I'm not its biggest fan, but that's just how things are here.

Has anyone ever actually lost their scholarship?

Not exactly lost it.

Don't stress so much about the scholarship.

It's not worth it.

It absolutely is.

You belong here. You have rich parents.

But I'm alone.

I've always been alone.

Don't say that.

I'm your friend and I will always protect you.

Like at the pool.

And like today in the ballroom.

A friend.

Do I actually have a friend at last?

For just a moment I felt safe.

And I let myself relax.

Why are you crying?

I'm just... I'm so tired.

From day one, everything has gone wrong.

It feels like the whole university is against me.

Not the whole university.

I will always be on your side.

Keep your hands off her, Stan.

Cool it, Kristen.

Eva was upset.

And I was just supporting her.

With a kiss?

There was no kiss.

But what does it matter to you?

Your fiancé almost killed me.

Right, Kristen.

How is the fiancé, by the way?

Did he give you permission to be here with us?

You're driving me crazy.

Kristen, stop!

Is that the best Kristen Stone can do?

Or are you embarrassed in front of Eva?

What is he talking about, Kristen?

Ignore him, Eva.

Just step back.

I'm settling this with this idiot once and for all.

Are you sure you have enough strength for that?

It doesn't take strength to beat someone like you.

Strange.

Where does Kristen get the strength to fight guys like an equal?

But her abilities were the least of my concerns right now.

Suddenly I felt like a pawn.

Because neither Kristen nor Stell actually cared about me. They were just

competing to see who was stronger.

Stay away from her.

Not a chance.

This is my university.

So it'll go the way I say.

It's not your university.

It's your mother's.

And she's going to sacrifice Eva tomorrow.

Are you going to let her?

What are you going to do, Kristen?

I don't know.

But I'll find a way out.

Whatever it costs me.

There was just one night left before the ball and I still had to undo what Victor

had destroyed.

So tonight I was staying late in the main building again.

I had no idea my new discovery would once again threaten my future at the

university.

Always 18.

Always orphans.

And why is the blood type listed?

You've gone too far, young lady.

Director Grey!

I'm sorry. The Dean's office said I could take extra candles from the attic.

For the ball.

Then take the candles.

For the ball.

Not snoop through documents.

But those girls.

My photo is in there. I want to know... I thought you wanted to organize the

ball.

So you could stay at this university.

Not dig around after girls you don't know.

Was I wrong?

No, you're right.

Then go and get to work.

And stay out of things that don't concern you.

I couldn't explain it.

But that discovery made my skin crawl.

Who were all those girls?

And what are they hiding from me?

Kristen humiliated me in front of the entire university.

And for whom? For some orphan?

Victor, you're overthinking it. Soon that little witch will be sacrificed and

all your problems are solved.

You don't get it!

Because of her, I'm no longer king of this university.

And now I'm just the doormat who got traded in for a fling with some girl.

You'll always be king to me.

Magnificent and ruthless.

Magnificent and ruthless?

Stacy, you're a genius.

Thank you.

I really am a genius.

But why?

Because I'm going to bleed that little orphan tonight.

And then everyone will see I'm still king.

And no one crosses me.

Are you serious?

They'll execute you. Nobody touches the sacrifice before the ball. Only Amanda

Stone drinks her blood first. It's the law.

I won't be the one touching her.

You will.

I can't bite her, Victor.

I'm afraid to even imagine what would happen if the older stone found out.

Or the younger one.

Why would they need to find out?

You know I can't resist you.

But what about the sacrifice?

She's needed so our clan has its life force.

We'll find a replacement within a couple of hours.

Everyone dreams of studying at Stone University.

Do this tonight, and I'll reward you right now.

You always said nothing could happen between us, because you're Kristen's

fiancé.

Who thinks about a fiancé when a girl as hot as you is right in front of him?

So will you do this for me?

Yes, Victor.

Yes.

Better to go for her at night.

People are so defenseless in the dark.

Not this orphan.

She always has either Kristen or Stan orbiting her.

Looks like they're both occupied right now. You should hurry.

I worked on the ball preparations until midnight.

But my thoughts were far from festive.

Those girls in the photographs.

I couldn't get them out of my head.

Why had I always heard about girls arriving on scholarship, but never about

what happened to them after?

I was certain those were the last seconds of my life.

But who would have thought that Kristen Stone would be the one to save me?

Are you hurt?

No, I think.

I don't know. Who was that?

I didn't get a good look.

Lean on me.

Thank you.

But what are you doing out here at night?

I heard a scream.

And got here that fast?

I was nearby, coming from the dorm to check on the ballroom.

I'm starting to wonder if I'll even live to see the ball.

You will.

What if whoever that was comes back?

They won't.

I'm going to be by your side from now on.

I don't know if it was the adrenaline from the attack or whether I was finally

letting myself admit what I wanted.

Tone shifting to intense desire.

But I wanted her.

I wanted Kristen Stone, my sworn enemy, here and now.

Kristen?

Listen, I want this right now.

But I need to know that you actually want it too.

I want it.

If you're not completely sure, it's better we don't.

It's just... I'm a virgin.

Your first time should be something special.

We don't have to rush.

You're right.

My first time should be special.

And that's exactly why I want it to be with you, Kristen Stone.

Ready? Ready for what?

For this.

Yes,

Kristen.

Yes.

For one night, I let myself believe I could be happy.

but reality caught up with me faster than I expected.

Shall we go to the ball together?

The ball?

You know, I've been thinking, what if we skip it?

What do you mean, skip it?

I'll lose my scholarship.

I know what you're risking, but losing you scares me far more.

What if we run away from here, together?

I knew it.

You're ashamed of me.

What are you talking about, ashamed?

I kissed you in front of my own fiancé. So he's still your fiancé?

Not exactly.

It's complicated, Eva.

I think it's actually very simple.

You're either engaged or you're not.

Have you called off the engagement to Victor?

No.

And do you intend to?

I can't.

I knew it. I'm just a toy to you.

A little fun before the wedding to someone who's actually in your league.

But I'm offering to run away with you, Eva.

Just the two of us.

Kristen, you will never understand.

I spent 18 years working toward this university, and now you're asking me to

throw it all away?

It's not what you think. I... Get out.

What?

You're throwing me out?

I said get out.

Catch her.

After my fight with Kristen, the nightmare came back.

But I had to pull myself together.

Because today is the ball.

The one that decides my scholarship and my entire future.

Stan?

What are you doing here?

I wanted to surprise you.

I planned to leave it on the silt and go, but you woke up early.

Take it.

It's for you.

You scared me half to death.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

But maybe my gift will help you calm down.

Open it.

This is... for me?

Yes.

I wanted to make this day special for you.

Stan, that's so sweet of you, but you really didn't have to.

Tonight is your first ball at the university.

Maybe your first ball ever.

I wanted you to feel like the most beautiful girl in the world, because you

are.

I've never had a beautiful dress before.

Only worn out jeans from charity donations.

Stan, it's stunning, but I can't accept it.

You deserve the best of everything, Eva.

And I'll give it to you.

Why can't I see you in the mirror?

I knew you wouldn't leave her alone.

How dare you barge in here? I told you, stay away from me!

Eva, you need to hear this.

Kristen!

I said go.

Eva, this is really important.

Goodbye, Kristen.

The great evening has arrived.

Tonight, by ancient tradition, we will drink the blood of the sacrifice, and

every clan will renew its vampire strength.

But do be gentle with our sacrifice.

After all, it is her last night.

The orphan looks like she's been wearing couture her whole life.

She won't be enjoying this luxury for much longer.

Eva, you look breathtaking.

Shall we dance?

I'd love to.

Especially since I have you to thank for how I look tonight.

You've made me the happiest guy in the whole University me how

Trust me

everyone in this room wishes they were me right now

Something interesting is about to happen.

Are you out of your mind?

You've destroyed the whole room.

I decorate it through the night.

None of that matters.

We need to get out of here.

I'm not going anywhere.

This is my ball.

Why can't you let me be happy without you?

You heard her, Kristen.

She said, leave her alone.

You bastard.

You know exactly what's about to happen.

Stop it!

Both of you, do you hear me?

Mrs. Stone, my apologies.

I'll get them under control and we'll proceed to the main event.

Don't bother.

The ritual will take place right now.

What ritual?

Catch her.

It's you.

The woman from my nightmares.

Believe me, your nightmare is only beginning.

You little witch!

You've only made me angrier!

What do you think you're doing?

Mom, I'll explain everything.

No one crosses Amanda Stone.

Go. I know how to save you.

Stan, what about Kristen?

We left her there alone.

Don't worry about her.

She's one of them.

And what are you?

Me?

I'm just saving you.

Is Amanda Stone really going to kill her own daughter?

She has to.

If you want to keep your power, you do whatever it takes to be respected.

No one defies me.

And those who dare, pay for it with their lives.

Mom, I never meant to defy you.

Look at yourself.

What is this outfit?

What is this hair?

You disrespect me and the sacred ritual just by the way you look.

Mother, I respect you and the ritual. It's just, Eva, I love her.

You love her.

Then tell me, Kristen, is love for a human worth dying for?

You wouldn't.

You won't kill me, would you?

Mom!

I burn anyone who questions my authority, even if that someone is my

own daughter!

The rightless fire of death!

The only thing a vampire can use to kill another vampire.

With no chance of resurrection.

I warned you, Kristen.

You'll pay for your little inventions with that beggar.

Mom! No!

Mom!

You'll be safe here.

Safe? You must be joking.

I'm not.

As long as you're with me, you really are safe.

Nothing will happen to you.

How am I supposed to know that? You're one of them too, aren't you?

You mean, am I also a vampire?

Yes, Eva.

I'm a vampire too.

You won't escape punishment with that cheap trick.

The Righteous Fire of Death will find you wherever you go.

The Fire of Death is righteous.

And the truth is, I've done nothing to deserve it.

Charming Mrs. Stone, are you all right?

I'll always be here to save you.

Don't worry about me.

Worry about her!

Attention!

Whoever finds the orphan will receive one million dollars and

my lifelong patronage.

Time to go.

Victor! Wait!

Where are we going?

To collect our reward.

I know where the orphan is.

Stan! No!

Don't do this!

I hate doing this, Eva.

But I have to.

I'm a vampire.

You're so tempting when you're frightened.

Stan!

You said you were my friend!

I'm not your friend.

But I trained for a long time to learn to control myself.

So I won't touch you.

Get changed.

I'll turn around.

If we're not friends, why won't you touch me?

Because I like you, Eva.

Not as a friend.

As a girl.

Stan, I didn't know you felt that way.

Now you do.

I never lied to you, Eva.

I genuinely hate being a vampire.

And I hate the ritual at the university.

But I can't change any of it.

But what is the ritual for?

Every year, Amanda Stone chooses a sacrifice.

Always an orphan.

So no one comes looking, and on the night of the solstice we drink her

blood.

It gives each clan strength for another year.

So all those girls in the folder in the attic?

Yes.

They died.

But you're with me, so you'll be fine.

You are with me, aren't you?

Stan, I... You bastard.

You slept with her after all.

Kristen! Stop!

Did you sleep with her?

Answer me!

What if I did?

What will the mighty Kristen Stone do about it?

Then I'll kill you.

Kristen, watch out!

Eva, I... Stan, what

have you done? She could die!

She won't.

Let's go.

She'll come around in a few hours.

So we have time to disappear.

And finally enjoy just us.

Stan.

About us.

Don't say it.

I have to, Stan.

I only see you as a friend. Nothing more. I'm sorry.

All right.

I hear you and I respect your decision.

But we still have to leave. But Kristen!

If Kristen found us, her mother won't be far behind.

Amanda Stone won't stop until she kills you.

Believe me.

She'll be fine.

Do you really think her mother would hurt her own daughter?

But you, we need to get you somewhere else.

This road looks familiar.

Where are we going?

Somewhere you chose.

What are you talking about? I didn't choose anything.

That's the university!

Stan, what are you doing? Turn around!

I told you.

You'd be safe as long as you were with me.

But you chose that coward Kristen.

Stan?

What are you saying?

You still haven't figured out that Kristen is nothing but trouble for you?

Thank you, Stan.

50% is yours. As agreed.

You can't do this to me!

You did something far worse to me, Eva.

Not so fast, witch.

You know, I almost feel bad handing you over to Amanda Stone.

I could have had far more fun with you than she will, but money is more useful

to me than fun right now.

Mrs. Stone!

We found the orphan!

Let go of me, witch!

We expect a proper reward.

You'll get what you deserve, Victor.

And you'll get what you deserve, Eva.

Mrs. Stone.

Perhaps we wait until nightfall.

There's still time for the spell.

If we do it this evening... For the spell and

the clan's power, we'll find a new sacrifice.

And this little witch's blood, I will drink myself.

But we haven't done that in a thousand years.

You always said extra sacrifices attract attention, and that's dangerous for us

in the modern world.

The only dangerous thing is arguing with me.

I said, her blood is mine now.

Mine alone.

Are you really so afraid of me that you can't wait until nightfall?

Me?

Afraid?

The last one who said that to me died along with their entire clan, so now

it's your turn.

It healed!

Shut up. It must be some mistake.

What the hell?

Impossible. She... This cannot be.

I killed them all.

But my enchanting Mrs. Stone, the bite vanished.

Which means... What does it mean?

That I'm also...

A vampire?

This means nothing! Did you hear me?

We'll simply kill you in a different way.

And in the meantime, put her in a cell.

But the Blade of White Hope is only for killing primordial vampires.

Does that mean Eva is a descendant of the...

Shut your mouth or your life will be even shorter than hers.

Tonight we kill the orphan with the blade.

If anyone discusses this or even thinks about it, I will kill you and your

entire clan.

Is that understood?

Remember, I hear every word and every thought in this university.

go of me.

All I wanted was to study.

Nobody ends up in a prison cell just for wanting to study.

What are you doing here?

I just can't leave you alone for long.

With your luck, it's dangerous.

What I mean is... How dare you come to me after everything you've done?

Everything I've done?

My mother was ready to burn me because I saved you.

Don't pretend to be some savior.

You lied to me.

You kept lying to me.

You made me believe in your feelings.

And the whole time, you were a vampire.

I'm not the only vampire here, it seems.

Am I right?

What? How do you...

Kristen, I saw what happened in the hall.

I wanted to help, but it turned out you were handling things pretty well on your

own.

Kristen, I have no idea what happened in that hall.

You're a descendant of the Coldwood clan.

The first vampires in history.

The ones who gave life to all of us.

Which means you are...

I told you.

I hear every thought and every word in this university.

And I forbade anyone from speaking of this on pain of death.

You finally changed your hairstyle.

Good.

At least you'll die looking decent.

I'm not going to die, Mother.

I'm going to fight you fairly.

as befits vampires of our standing.

Kristen, watch out!

You want to play fair, daughter?

Very well.

But I don't think you'll enjoy it.

All you were ever required to do was listen to

me and follow the rules.

And what did you do instead?

I listened to you, Mother. I followed the rules.

But then I fell in love.

Fell in love?

You truly love me, Kristen?

And again, your hair is an absolute disaster.

Just like every decision you've ever made.

You traded your status for a fling with a girl from a shelter.

And you forgot your obligations.

I didn't know my obligations include protecting your ego.

You will do what I say.

So I can become the same stone cold witch as you?

I'm a stone cold witch, am I?

Let me remind you.

It was this stone-cold witch who gave you your name, your power, and your

legacy. And you traded all of it for an orphan.

I didn't trade it for an orphan.

I traded it for my happiness.

Mother, I am happy with Eva.

And that feeling is worth everything.

Then consider that you chose your own death along with her.

I don't care.

Eva hates me.

So I'd rather die than live without her.

Go ahead.

No! Kristen, no! I love you too!

You

felt

it. You felt your power, Eva.

It won't last.

I will kill you the same way I killed your parents What are you talking about?

It

was

me who killed them And that nightmare of yours, it's no nightmare.

It's just your mother getting in the way of me finishing the job on you, too.

She extinguished the rightful spire with her bare hands.

If that's true, you will pay for my parents' deaths.

I don't think I'll be paying anything.

Let the Blade of White Oak ritual begin.

Open that damn book of spells and read!

Enchanting Mrs. Stone.

But the ritual must be performed at night. I don't care!

We do it now!

Say your goodbyes, little orphan.

This is the blade of white oak.

The only thing that can kill a primordial.

Impossible!

You don't even know how to control your own power! Not yet.

But I'll use it a hell of a lot better than you.

Oh no!

I'll help!

This is between her and me.

And now what?

Are you going to kill me?

No.

I just need to stop you.

Because every move you make is aimed at harm and killing.

Enough. Hey!

Amanda!

My enchanting Mrs. Stone!

She beat her!

The orphan beat Amanda Stone!

Your Majesty!

My queen.

Stop it. What queen?

Queen of the vampires.

Honestly, I still can't wrap my head around any of this.

I can.

Centuries ago, there was a clan called the Coldwells. Your ancestors.

The first vampires in the history of humanity.

A clan of kings and queens.

And then your mother decided to take their power.

She organized a coup and killed every member of the First Blood clan.

But your mother saved you.

She gave you a new name and managed to hide you in the group home at the cost

of her own life.

And then I grew up and walked straight into your mother's hands all by myself.

You had

to.

Otherwise you never would have met me.

It was worth it.

My queen.

Your majesty.

Your majesty.

Your majesty.

Your majesty.

From this day forward, the solstice ritual is abolished.

Forever.

Not one more girl will ever be sacrificed within the walls of this

university.

Or beyond them.

But... Where will the clans get their strength?

I am the last primordial descendant. And I am the source of that strength.

The sacrifice ritual only became necessary when every member of my clan

was killed.

But now...

The more strength I share with the other clans, the stronger every vampire in our

world becomes.

So there is no need to kill anyone.

Shall we dance?

Only if you promise to stop fighting people over me.

That I cannot promise.
