she'll be your ruin.

You have spirit, Sofia,

and a fierce will to live.

They will serve you well

in the centuries to come.

The hour has arrived to taste

the blood of your master.

No!

Please, don't!

I will have you, Sofia.

Embrace me willingly,

and I vow not

to spoil that

portion of your soul

which is the wellspring

of your artistry.

No!

I beg of you, Sofia.

I have no wish to defile

the music in your heart.

Stop!

You will be mine forever.

Zachary.

I'm sorry, my beloved.

Come to me.

Our lives can be redeemed.

Ahh!

Let go of me!

Where's Ash?

I said, let go of me!

Where's Sofia?

Take me to her!

I'll point you to his lair,

into the secret tunnels.

But first, you must

agree on three things.

I could kill you right now for

delivering her into his hands.

Oh, that would be

a foolish waste.

What are your conditions?

First, you must promise

not to betray my confidence.

You have my word.

Second, you must take Sofia

and leave this country never

to return.

I will leave when Ash and all

of his bloodline are destroyed.

I will not stand

between Ash and his fate.

Sofia, you rest at the

threshold of mortality.

Tell me your desire,

life or death?

Life.

Will you take me

as your master,

honor and obey me

until eternity?

Yes.

My blood will

suffuse you with life.

You are mine now, Sofia.

Cry, Sofia.

Let your sadness pass.

May I help you?

ZACHARY NARRATING: I had no

blade to finish him with,

so I did the next best thing.

I was too late.

She had tasted his blood.

He was immersed in her, which

gave me a moment's advantage.

Zachary!

Come with me!

Master, you're wounded!

Go after them, Cassandra.

Lead me to them.

I'm too weak to fly.

Yes, Master.

Do not falter, Sofia.

Keep moving.

I can't!

It hurts!

It is the coming of the dawn.

We must find shelter.

CASSANDRA (OFFSCREEN):

Master, this way.

Zachary!

Deliver Sofia to me, and I

promise you safe passage.

I can't go on!

I'm dying!

You must keep moving!

[SOBS]

Sofia, come to me!

You'll make a pretty

prize for my master.

Sofia, come to me.

The dawn approaches,

and soon it will

be too late to seek sanctuary.

Strike the first

blow, Cassandra.

Deliver me from

the hands of fate.

[SCREAMS]

Zachary, help me!

We must find a

resting place quickly.

Quickly!

Inside here.

We will lie here today.

Tonight, we'll find

a safer sanctuary.

Thank you, Zachary.

Do not thank me, Sofia.

I brought you no salvation.

Why?

What's going to happen to me?

Only one thing is for certain.

Never again will you feel

the warmth of the sun.

ZACHARY NARRATING: I had

stolen her from Ash's lair.

I could offer her protection,

teach her to survive.

But I was not her true master.

Her life, like mine, would

be an endless nightmare.
