Short filmTranscript
00:00One week before the wedding, Camila flew from New York to Los Angeles to help me get everything ready.
00:05That night, while she was still in the shower, her phone rang.
00:08Water hissed behind the half-open bathroom door.
00:11Steam drifted into the room.
00:13The damp heat made me uneasy.
00:14And the succubus mark beneath my collarbone began to warm,
00:17warning me that someone's desire was getting close.
00:20Vivian, check who it is for me.
00:21I smiled and picked up a phone.
00:22I'm afraid I'll find some hidden man on here.
00:24Even as I said it, I thought it was ridiculous.
00:27After all, Camila hated men more than anyone I knew.
00:30She had been my friend since childhood, and like me, she was a half-blood succubus living quietly among humans.
00:35Half-blood succubi could smell desire, enter dreams, and when hunger or emotion pushed us too far,
00:41draw a little energy from a kiss, a touch, or the warmth left behind in someone's dream.
00:45Camila was proud, cold, and openly hostile toward men.
00:49She looked down on flirting with men.
00:51She looked down even more on feeding through intimacy, so I never guarded myself against her.
00:55I showed her photos from my wedding dress fittings, drafts of my vows,
00:59even the private dream boundaries between Luca and me that I had never told anyone else.
01:03I thought she was the last person in the world who would ever use my weaknesses against me.
01:06But when I unlocked her phone, I saw a message from the contact pinned at the top of her list.
01:11Baby, want to come into my dream and fuck me tonight?
01:14I'm all ready.
01:14Below it was a photo, black bunny ears, a velvet corset, pink handcuffs, a thin chain engraved with succubus contract
01:21marks.
01:22In one corner of the photo, I could just make out a hotel key card.
01:25My fingers tightened around the phone but Luca, impossible.
01:28He's my fiance.
01:30How could he possibly be in contact with my misogynistic best friend?
01:34Then the man sent a voice message.
01:37I've missed you, Camila.
01:39His voice was low, rough with the rasp of a man who had barely dragged himself back from the edge
01:44of desire.
01:44Don't torture me only in dreams tonight.
01:46You know I can't handle that tail of yours wrapped around my wrist.
01:49I froze.
01:50That voice was too familiar.
01:52So familiar that every drop of blood in my body went cold.
01:56It was not some stranger.
01:58It was my fiance Luca.
01:59It really was him.
02:00Los Angeles was cool on winter nights, but the hotel room was too warm.
02:05The sound of water from the bathroom hit my nerves again and again, wearing down the last of my reason.
02:11I stared at the private account on Camila's phone, an account I had never seen before.
02:15I read the chat between her and Luca, all those bold, intimate messages hinting at dreambinding, and all I could
02:22think was how absurd it was.
02:23Luca, my fiance.
02:25The man who knew I was a half-blood succubus and still held my hand and told me he loved
02:30me.
02:30I even tried to make excuses for them.
02:33Maybe the voice only sounded like his.
02:35Maybe it was a cruel prank.
02:37Maybe some low-level glamour has stolen Luca's voice to sabotage our wedding.
02:43But now his profile picture and Camila's were a matching pair.
02:47In the chat, he called her baby.
02:50Tonight I bought a brand new clitoral ring.
02:53I thought you hated being controlled.
02:55If it's you, I'm willing.
02:57I can't wait to be fucked by you.
03:00Tears welled up in my eyes, and my hands trembled uncontrollably.
03:04The man who was supposed to marry me in a week actually cheated on me with my best friend.
03:11I stood there, stiff from head to toe.
03:14Some numb instinct made me scroll upward.
03:16She never enters your dreams, does she?
03:19She's too clean.
03:20Too boring.
03:21Who can do it as well as you?
03:23It's unforgettable.
03:24In that moment, what chilled me more than the flirting was that every line.
03:29Camila used to tempt him stepped directly on secrets I had told her myself.
03:32I had told her I refused to cry into my lover's dreams.
03:36I had told her Luca was terrified of abandonment.
03:39I also had told her that I wanted to save my virginity for our wedding night.
03:43She had taken all of it and turned it into a knife.
03:47When Camila first met Luca, disgust was written all over her face.
03:51She looked him up and down, a dark red glint flashing in her eyes.
03:55The kind only half-blood suckered by hat.
03:58So you're the human who wants to marry Vivian?
04:01Luca smiled and offered his hand.
04:02I'm at Luca.
04:03Camila did not shake it.
04:04She only stared at him, her mouth cold.
04:07Human men's promises are worthless.
04:09If you ever hurt her, I'll make sure you dream every night of being torn apart by your own desire.
04:14Later, Luca complained to me about it.
04:17I only held back because she's your friend.
04:19Otherwise I would have thrown her out of my club.
04:22Every time he mentioned Camila, his dislike sounded so real.
04:26So real I never doubted it.
04:28Back in the hotel room, I stared at the words until my fingers started shaking.
04:33Half-blood succubi could smell desire.
04:35Even through a scream, I could smell it now.
04:38Desire leaked from those messages.
04:40Hot and sticky and burning.
04:42This was not a misunderstanding.
04:44This was Luca's real desire for Camila.
04:46An impatient sexual desire.
04:50The shower stopped, as if the phone had burned me.
04:52I locked it at once.
04:54Then I picked up my own phone and video called Luca.v.
04:57A few seconds later, the screen lit up.
04:59Baby.
05:00Luca's familiar face appeared.
05:01He was in Chicago, or so he had told me, meeting investors for a new private club.
05:05The camera shifted, and several partners sat behind him, raising their glasses at me.
05:10Surprise call from the bride-a-be.
05:12Don't worry, at Vivian.
05:14We're watching him for you.
05:17Jackson's friends mentioned you about 800 times tonight.
05:20If he keeps going, we'll be forced to hear the entire wedding vow speech.
05:23I looked at the man smiling gently on the screen.
05:26His eyes were clear.
05:27His voice was soft.
05:28He looked like nothing had happened.
05:30Sweetheart, did you miss me?
05:32He leaned closer to the camera and lowered his voice.
05:36I'm almost done here.
05:37I'll be back with you before the wedding.
05:39I promise.
05:41My heart felt like something had sneezed it.
05:43It hurt, but some desperate part of me still refused to give up.
05:47I paused, then asked like it was nothing.
05:50Luca?
05:51What do you think of Camila?
05:54On the screen.
05:55His expression froze for the briefest second, only one second.
06:00Then he was natural again.
06:02That crazy man-hating snob?
06:05He gave a short laugh, his tone full of disgust.
06:07If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even want to hear her name.
06:11But I was staring into his eyes.
06:13For one second, Luca's pupils darkened.
06:15That was what happened to humans after a succubus dream had wrapped around him.
06:19He thought of Camila.
06:20He thought of the feel of her tail around his wrist.
06:23He thought about the pleasure of having sex with her.
06:25And even his breathing became a little heavy.
06:27Luca looked away.
06:29Baby.
06:30Babe.
06:31I have to go.
06:32I'll call you later.
06:33I'll bring you a gift when I come home.
06:35The video ended.
06:36The lie was gentle.
06:38That made it hurt more.
06:39The wedding I'm looking forward to may never happen.
06:44I sat beside the window, staring out at the damp night.
06:47My chest sank inch by inch.
06:49Behind me, the bathroom door opened.
06:51Vivian?
06:52Camila had already changed.
06:54She usually wore black suits and ankle boots.
06:56And most days she could not even be bothered with lipstick.
06:59Tonight, she was in a fitted dark red velvet dress.
07:02Her long hair lay wet over her shoulders.
07:04Her lips were the color of blood.
07:06A thin black tail flashed beneath the hem of her dress.
07:09Then disappeared almost at once.
07:10I saw it.
07:11She knew I saw it.
07:12Succubi only lost control of their tails when they were starving, aroused, or about to hunt.
07:17But Camila only walked toward me as if nothing had happened.
07:19She looked almost like a stranger.
07:21Do you have someone you like?
07:22Her hand paused in the towel, drying her hair.
07:24I wanted to warn her.
07:25I wanted to tell her the man was unreliable.
07:27But before I could speak, her face went cold.
07:30Out, Vivian, we're friends, sure.
07:32But you don't get to forbid me from having desire just because you're getting married.
07:36That's not what I meant.
07:37Then what did you mean?
07:39Her eyes slowly flushed red.
07:40Not hurt, but the dark red of an angered succubus.
07:44Do you think you're the only one worthy of being loved?
07:47The only one men should worship?
07:51I'm worried about you.
07:53Camila laughed.
07:54Worried about me?
07:55She stepped closer.
07:56The scent of black roses and absinthe rose in the air.
07:58You were never worried about me.
08:00She lowered her head to my ear, her voice low and cruel.
08:03You just can't stand the idea that one day I could take something from you.
08:08Then she grabbed her bag.
08:10Vivian, you disappoint me.
08:12I chased after her.
08:16Camila!
08:17As the elevator doors slid shut, the look she gave me was cold, cold enough that I finally understood.
08:22This was not only betrayal.
08:24This was hatred.
08:26I stood in the hotel hallway, my mind a mess.
08:30Camila was a succubus.
08:31She would not be fooled easily by a human man.
08:34But what if that man was Luca?
08:36Luca, the image from her phone still burned in my mind.
08:39Black bunny ears, pink handcuffs.
08:41Succubus contract sigils.
08:43Then I remembered the hotel location Luca had sent in the chat.
08:46I grabbed my car keys and rushed downstairs without even taking a coat.
08:50The streets of Los Angeles were empty and cooled deep into the night.
08:54I drove all the way to a private hotel in West Hollywood.
08:58The moment I parked, I saw Camila's car.
09:02Then my whole body went rigid.
09:05Luca, who was supposed to be in Chicago on business, walked out through the hotel's revolving doors.
09:10He was wearing the black coat I had chosen for him.
09:13Camila stepped out of the shadows and walked toward him.
09:16She did not throw herself into his arms like an ordinary lover.
09:19She only stood in front of him, lifted her eyes, and looked at him coldly.
09:24Luca's throat moved.
09:25The next second, he reached out, caught her by the waist, and pulled her close.
09:31Camila laughed softly.
09:33Her black tail slipped from under her dress and slowly wrapped around his wrist.
09:38Luca looked down at it, and his breath deepened.
09:41He did not pull away.
09:42Then they kissed in front of the hotel.
09:45Not a misunderstanding, not glamour.
09:48Not a similar voice.
09:50It was Luca, it was Camila.
09:53Cold.
09:55Not with you here.
09:58How did you explain leaving to Vivi?
10:00She depends on you so much.
10:02How did she let you go?
10:03I threw a little tantrum.
10:05That was all.
10:07She rose on her toes and bit his throat.
10:10You still don't know how much she cares about me, do you?
10:14I left just now.
10:16She's probably still scared I'm angry, scared I'll ignore her.
10:19She gave me the spare key to your wedding house.
10:22She even asked me to keep your wedding ring safe.
10:27She trusts me more than she trusts you.
10:31That was when I heard something inside me crack.
10:34The person I trusted most had just used my trust as a trophy in front of the man I was
10:40supposed to marry.
10:43Camila's tail was still wrapped around Luca's wrist for a succubus.
10:46That was an act of possession.
10:48It was also a silent hunt.
10:50She said she hated men.
10:52She said their desire was cheap and filthy.
10:54But now she had her tail wrapped around my fiancé's wrist in a possessive loop.
10:59Luca could have pulled free.
11:00He did not.
11:01His thumb even stroked her tail once.
11:03Camila narrowed her eyes slightly.
11:05Didn't you say you hated me most?
11:07Luca looked down at her.
11:09I do hate you.
11:10Then why do you keep coming into my dreams?
11:12Luca did not answer.
11:13Her tail nimbly slipped into his crotch.
11:16Caressing his already erect penis, Luca reached out his hand.
11:19And I thought he would push her away.
11:21But to my surprise, he reached under her skirt and inserted his fingers into her vagina.
11:26Camila squeezed his fingers together in unbearable discomfort.
11:30Then collapsed limply against him.
11:34Good boy, you've put on a penis-locking ring so early.
11:36Admit it, Aunt Luca.
11:38You like that I look down on you.
11:40You like that I hate men, but I only let you close.
11:43You like that this is stolen, dirty, and impossible to show in daylight.
11:48Luca caught the back of her neck.
11:50Shut up.
11:51Camila lifted her face.
11:53Then make me.
11:55The next second, Luca kissed her.
11:57The kiss was urgent and rough.
11:59His hands expertly kneaded her breasts.
12:01And Camila's face was full of enjoyment.
12:03Your penis is hard.
12:04It's hitting me, you little slut.
12:06Luca smiled happily and reached her hand.
12:09Under her skirt.
12:10You're not even wearing underwear.
12:12Be careful the water doesn't drip onto the floor.
12:14I sat there.
12:16Fingers clenched around the steering wheel.
12:19Half-blood succubi could smell desire.
12:22So I knew better than anyone.
12:24Luca was not fully controlled.
12:26He was sinking in with his eyes open.
12:28He picked her up and carried her into the hotel.
12:31Hurry up.
12:32Vivian will be looking for me soon.
12:36I remembered the first time I confessed my identity to him.
12:40It had been another wet, rainy night.
12:43I told him I was not entirely human.
12:46I dreamed differently.
12:48I could sense desire.
12:50If I was too hungry, I could draw a little life from someone's dream.
12:55I thought he would be afraid.
12:58Instead, he held my hand.
13:00So you've been forcing yourself to endure it all this time?
13:02I nodded off.
13:04His eyes turned red.
13:05Vivian, you don't have to pretend to be normal with me.
13:09If you're hungry, take it from me.
13:12I almost cried.
13:12Luca, a donor gets weak.
13:16Then I'm willing.
13:17He had sounded so serious.
13:20Serious enough that I thought the world had finally held me gently.
13:23Later, he pursued me so openly that all of West Hollywood knew about it.
13:28I mentioned once that I liked jazz, and he booked out Midnight Bar that same night.
13:34I said church bells frightened me, and when we passed the Cathedral of St. Viviana, he covered
13:41my ears.
13:42When my first business failed and I hid in the attic of the old house refusing to see anyone,
13:47he stood outside in the rain all night.
13:49He pulled me out of my shame as a half-blood succubus and told me again and again.
13:53You are not a monster.
13:57Vivian, you just haven't learned how to love yourself yet.
14:01Back in the car, those memories were too heavy.
14:04Now those memories hurt more than the betrayal itself.
14:07The man who once told me I was not a monster was now proving that monsters could wear the face
14:11of love.
14:14I remembered the first time I confessed my identity to him.
14:18It had been another wet, rainy night.
14:21I told him I was not entirely human.
14:24I dreamed differently.
14:26I could sense desire.
14:28If I was too hungry, I could draw a little life from someone's dream.
14:33I thought he would be afraid.
14:36Instead, he held my hand.
14:38So you've been forcing yourself to endure it all this time?
14:41I nodded off.
14:42His eyes turned red.
14:43Vivian, you don't have to pretend to be normal with me.
14:47If you're hungry, take it from me.
14:50I almost cried.
14:51Luca, a donor gets weak.
14:54Then I'm willing.
14:55He had sounded so serious.
14:58Serious enough that I thought the world had finally held me gently.
15:02Later, he pursued me so openly that all of West Hollywood knew about it.
15:06I mentioned once that I liked jazz, and he booked out Midnight Bar that same night.
15:13I said church bells frightened me, and when we passed the Cathedral of St. Viviana, he covered my ears.
15:20When my first business failed and I hid in the attic of the old house refusing to see anyone, he
15:25stood outside in the rain all night.
15:27He pulled me out of my shame as a half-blood succubus and told me again and again,
15:31You are not a monster.
15:35Vivian, you just haven't learned how to love yourself yet.
15:39Back in the car, those memories were too heavy.
15:42Now those memories hurt more than the betrayal itself.
15:45The man who once told me I was not a monster was now proving that monsters could wear the face
15:49of love.
15:52I looked up and saw Luca having sex with Camila through the floor-to-ceiling window upstairs in the hotel.
15:58Camila's face was flushed, her red dress was lying at the feet, and she was only wearing sexy lingerie.
16:04I picked up my phone and called Luca.
16:07When the phone rang, Camila saw my name and her face cooled at once.
16:10She reached for it.
16:12Luca lifted the phone out of her reach.
16:13I told you, I don't ignore Vivian's calls.
16:16Jealousy flashed through.
16:17Camila's eyes, the call connected.
16:20Baby, miss me?
16:22I bit my lip hard enough to keep the sob from escaping.
16:26He was right in front of me.
16:27He was answering my call while playing with Camila's tail with his fingers.
16:33Even the penis was still inside her.
16:35Camila stared at my name on the screen and suddenly smiled.
16:39She tiptoed and kissed Luca's sensitive urlo.
16:43Deliberately moaning.
16:45Luca's fingers paused, her tail hooked around his buttocks and slowly rubbed against them.
16:50Through the phone, I heard his breath turn heavier.
16:53I'll be back tomorrow.
16:55I bought you a gift.
16:56You'll like it.
16:58I looked at him for the first time.
17:00I understood that tenderness could be a blade.
17:05Luca, do you love me?
17:07He stopped moving for a second.
17:08Of course.
17:10Then would you betray me?
17:12Silence fell on the other end, right in front of me.
17:16Camila suddenly dripped the wax from a nearby low-temperature candle onto Luca's lower abdomen.
17:22Luca let out an excited groan.
17:27It was quiet, but I heard it clearly.
17:32Vivian, don't overthink.
17:35I'll be back by your side before the wedding.
17:38Camila's tail wrapped tighter.
17:39She held a candle dripping wax onto Luca's body little by little.
17:43From his collarbone, chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and finally onto his lower abdomen near his penis.
17:50Be good.
17:50I have something to handle.
17:53I'll call you later.
17:55The call ended.
17:56He had just lied to me with the same voice he used to promise me forever.
18:01After the call ended, Luca caught Camila by the waist and leaned down to her ear.
18:06You did that on purpose.
18:08Camila laughed.
18:09Of course.
18:10Isn't that exactly what you like?
18:15Luca gripped her chin.
18:17Camila.
18:18You're gonna drive me insane.
18:21She placed her finger in Luca's mouth and stirred it gently, red light in her eyes, teasing and cruel.
18:26Then go insane for me.
18:28He fucked her hard, with a frenzied excitement.
18:31The semen was ejaculated on her body, some of it staining the glass window, making it particularly noticeable.
18:40I sat in the car until dawn.
18:43When the first light fell, Camila came out of the hotel, her mouth bright as if she had just drunk
18:48from a dream.
18:49Luca followed behind her.
18:50A few partners walked with them, laughing and talking.
18:54Camila acts so untouchable.
18:56But put her in a dress and she's not that far behind Vivian.
19:00Camila laughed and smacked his arm.
19:03Don't compare me to Vivian.
19:05A delicate little princess like her?
19:08What can she do except be spoiled?
19:10Luca did not argue.
19:12He only smiled.
19:14That smile was the last straw.
19:16Camila opened the passenger door.
19:18That was my seat.
19:19Every time, Luca had opened that door for me and said it was reserved for his fiancée.
19:24Now Camila was about to sit there.
19:26I suddenly did not want to endure another second.
19:28I pushed my car door open and walked toward them.
19:31Luca saw me first.
19:32His face went white.
19:33At Vivian?
19:35Camila's smile froze.
19:38I took off my engagement ring.
19:40Inside the band was the vow Luca had written by hand.
19:42I will never betray you.
19:44I threw the ring into his face.
19:46We're done.
19:48Luca.
19:49I don't want you anymore.
19:50As soon as the words left my mouth, heat surged through my chest.
19:54A dark red contract mark slowly surfaced beneath my collarbone.
19:57My skin felt as if fire had kissed it.
19:59I froze.
20:00Luca saw it too.
20:01His pupils shrank.
20:02Vivian?
20:03Your mark.
20:04Camila's face changed.
20:05I looked down at the succubus blood mark that had never appeared before.
20:09The next second, I smelled the desire of everyone around me.
20:13Shock.
20:14Fear.
20:14Jealousy.
20:15Greed.
20:16Guilt.
20:17And on Luca, regret so strong it was almost bitter.
20:20So betrayal could awaken a half-blood succubus.
20:23So when pain reached its limit, blood would tear away the final layer of disguise for me.
20:29Mila stared at my collarbone.
20:30Her shock turned into envy.
20:32How did you awaken?
20:34Why you?
20:35She had always thought I was a weak half-blood succubus.
20:38Too scared to feed.
20:40Too scared to cast glamour.
20:41Too scared to enter someone else's dreams.
20:43That was why she dared take my fiance.
20:46That was why she dared step on my feelings to prove herself.
20:48I smiled because you pushed me this far.
20:52I turned to leave.
20:53Luca grabbed my wrist.
20:55Vivian!
20:55The moment his palm touched my skin, the contract mark burned.
20:59I saw his desire.
21:00It was not lust.
21:01It was fear.
21:02He was afraid I did not want him anymore.
21:05But this time, I did not soften.
21:07Don't touch me.
21:09The color drained from Luca's face.
21:12Vivian, listen to me.
21:13His hand was still shaking.
21:15It wasn't me who started it.
21:17It was Camila.
21:20She entered my dreams.
21:22She amplified what I already felt.
21:25She said it would only happen once and you would never know.
21:29Camila snapped her head toward him.
21:30Luca!
21:31But he had finally found an excuse and he shoved all the blame onto her.
21:34Vivian, I really love you.
21:36I was influenced by her.
21:38I looked at him.
21:39Once, I had thought Luca understood betrayal better than anyone.
21:43He had told me his mother betrayed her marriage and left with his father's best friend.
21:46His father did not want him.
21:48His mother did not want him either.
21:50He said he felt like an old suitcase kicked from one door to another.
21:54Back then, my heart ached for him.
21:56I stayed with him through one nightmare after another.
21:59When he dreamed of being abandoned, I took his hand and let him out.
22:02I never took more life from him than I needed.
22:05Even when hunger left me cold all over, I only kissed his forehead while he slept.
22:10And took a little harmless warmth from the edge of his dream.
22:13Now he was telling me he cheated because someone tempted him.
22:17I suddenly laughed.
22:19At Luca.
22:20Luca, you're pathetic.
22:24You don't even have the courage to admit you're rotten.
22:27Camila suddenly laughed too.
22:29Half hate.
22:30Half madness.
22:31Now you're blaming me?
22:32She walked toward Luca.
22:34Who was the one holding my tail last night and refusing to let go?
22:38Shut up.
22:39Who said At Vivian was too clean and you couldn't bear to use those thoughts on her?
22:44At Luca.
22:46Do you want me to repeat every word you said in my bed?
22:48Shame flashed through Luca's eyes.
22:51The last warmth in my heart finally died.
22:55So she had not led him astray.
22:58He had not been controlled.
22:59They had shut me out of those dreams a long time ago.
23:02One of them enjoyed being tamed by a proud succubus.
23:06The other enjoyed dragging the man I loved down from his pedestal.
23:09I got into my car to leave.
23:12Luca rushed in front of it like he had lost his mind.
23:15Vivian, you can't go.
23:16You said you would never leave me.
23:18Camila ran after him, grabbing his arm, her voice sharp.
23:21She doesn't want you anymore.
23:24Why are you chasing her?
23:27Luca, look at me.
23:29I'm the only one who can accept the real you.
23:32I looked coldly at the two of them tangled in front of my car.
23:35One betrayed me.
23:36One used me.
23:37Perfect match.
23:38I stepped on the gas.
23:40The car lurched forward.
23:42Luca's face went white.
23:43Camila screamed and dragged him out of the way.
23:46They fell hard onto the ground.
23:48Both of them a mess.
23:49The engine roared as I drove out of the parking lot, leaving their voices behind.
23:54In the rearview mirror, they looked ugly and helpless, still trying to drag each other down.
23:59I did not stop.
24:00I did not look back again.
24:02The city was waking up around me, but something in me had already gone cold and quiet.
24:08I returned to the wedding house.
24:10It was the house Luca and I had bought together.
24:12Only my name was on the deed.
24:14At the time, Luca had held me and said,
24:18What's mine is yours.
24:19What's yours is still yours.
24:21Vivian, the greatest achievement of my life is making you happy.
24:25Now, everything in the house seemed to laugh at me.
24:28The matching keychains by the door.
24:30The jazz playlist we had tested for the wedding in the living room.
24:34The wedding dress hanging in the bedroom.
24:36And in the mirror, the dark red mark under my collarbone.
24:40Growing clearer and clearer.
24:41I did not take much.
24:43Only the black pearl necklace my mother had left me.
24:46And an old book recording the taboos surrounding Succubus' true names.
24:49I had just reached the door when Luca caught up.
24:52The mark from my slap was still on his face.
24:54His eyes were terrifyingly red.
24:56Vivian, where are you going?
25:00He blocked the doorway, his voice shaking.
25:03This is our home.
25:06You said you would stay with me forever.
25:09I looked at him and found it almost funny.
25:12You also said you would never betray me.
25:15His face turned pale.
25:17I walked around him, but he suddenly dropped to his knees,
25:21grabbed my hand, and pressed my palm to his face.
25:24Hit me.
25:25Curse me.
25:26Do anything you want.
25:27Just don't go.
25:30Please.
25:30If this had been before, I would have softened.
25:33But now, all I smelled in his regret was selfishness.
25:36It was not that he could not lose me.
25:38It was that he could not accept being abandoned.
25:41I pulled my hand free.
25:43Luca.
25:43You lost me with your own hands.
25:47I opened the door and saw Camila standing outside.
25:50Her eyes were red.
25:51Her makeup was ruined.
25:53Compared to Luca, the pain Camila brought was duller.
25:56And much deeper, Camila raised her hand and slapped me across the face.
26:00Pain burst open.
26:01Luca froze.
26:02So did I.
26:03Camila looked as if she had finally torn off years of disguise.
26:07Her voice was sharp and shaking.
26:10Vivian.
26:10Why is everything always better for you?
26:14Why does everyone circle around you?
26:16Why did the sucker for a blood choose you too?
26:20The red in her eyes grew darker.
26:21Her black tail lashed restlessly behind her.
26:24Do you know how much I hate men?
26:27The way they look at me makes me sick.
26:29Their desire sticks to me like mud.
26:32Camila looked at Luca and laughed while crying wild and broken.
26:36But Luca was different.
26:38He loved you.
26:40The more he loved you, the more I wanted to take him.
26:44I didn't like him.
26:45I just wanted to prove that you could lose to me too.
26:48Mila stared at me.
26:49Tears in her eyes and no softness in her face.
26:52Do you know the funniest part?
26:54The first time I entered Luca's dream, it wasn't because I wanted him so badly.
27:00It was because you, you sent me the playlist for your first dance.
27:05And asked which song fit the wedding better.
27:08I looked at that message and suddenly wanted to know.
27:10What would happen if I stole your groom from inside his own dreams?
27:15At Vivian?
27:16The more you trusted me, the more I wanted to destroy that trust with my own hands.
27:21My heart sank slowly.
27:23So that was it.
27:25Camila had not suddenly fallen in love with Luca.
27:28She hated me.
27:32I remembered the year we applied to college.
27:34She had hugged me and cried, saying she did not want us to separate.
27:38Back then, I had already received an acceptance letter from a top school on the East Coast.
27:43My admissions counselor said it was the best opportunity of my life.
27:47But Camila cried and asked me.
27:49Vivi, will we grow apart?
27:51If you go to New York, what will happen to me?
27:53At that time, I truly believed we would always be the most important people in each other's lives.
27:59So I turned down the acceptance.
28:01I stayed in Los Angeles and went to the same local university as her.
28:04It was the first time my parents were disappointed in me.
28:07My counselor also talked with me for a long time.
28:10But I had thought it was worth it.
28:12Because Camila had said,
28:14Vivian, let's never be apart.
28:16Back in front of the wedding house, looking at her face twisted by jealousy.
28:20I finally understood.
28:21Maybe the sacrifices I had thought were precious had only given her another reason to hate me.
28:26Camila, my voice was very quiet.
28:29I never tried to compete with you.
28:32But you treated me like your enemy the whole time.
28:35Camila laughed even more bitterly.
28:37Because you never have to compete.
28:40People hand everything to you.
28:43She raised her hand to hit me again.
28:45This time, I caught her wrist.
28:47The succubus mark under my collarbone burned.
28:50For the first time, I did not suppress my power.
28:53If she wanted to tear open every old wound, then I would finally look directly into hers.
28:59I saw the deepest desire inside Camila's heart.
29:03She wanted to become me.
29:04She wanted to be accepted by a family like mine.
29:07She wanted to be praised by counselors.
29:10She wanted to be seen by friends.
29:12She wanted, when Luca looked at me, to tear my face out of his eyes.
29:16I saw more.
29:17I saw her sitting beside my wedding dress.
29:21Fixing my veil while leaving the scent of black roses in Luca's dreams.
29:25I saw her helping me choose wedding vows while secretly texting Luca.
29:30She said never betray.
29:31Did that make you laugh?
29:32I saw that every time she hugged me, comforted me.
29:36Or said she would stay with me until the wedding was over.
29:39There was a vicious thought hidden underneath.
29:41She wanted to watch me put on the dress, then push me down herself.
29:45So her so-called hatred of men, her pride, her cold disdain, had only been armor.
29:52Under that armor was jealousy rotting for years.
29:55I let go of her wrist.
29:58My palm came down hard.
30:00Her face turned with the blow.
30:02She staggered back, covering her cheek, staring at me in disbelief.
30:08My tears finally fell.
30:10Not because of Luca.
30:12Because I had buried years of friendship with my own hands.
30:16Camila.
30:16From today on, we are not friends anymore.
30:21The red light in her eyes trembled.
30:23I turned to Luca.
30:25He stood there, looking as if he wanted to come closer, but did not dare.
30:30I smiled faintly.
30:32You two really are a good match.
30:35One uses love as an excuse.
30:38The other uses jealousy as a reason.
30:41People like you should stay tied together.
30:45Don't let either of you escape.
30:48When I walked out of the wedding house, my parents had already arrived.
30:52My father stood outside.
30:54He saw the slap mark on my face and the succubus mark beneath my collarbone.
30:58He asked nothing.
30:59He only opened his arms.
31:01Vivian.
31:02Dad's taking you home.
31:04I ran into his arms and finally broke down.
31:06Dad.
31:07I'm not getting married.
31:10I don't want Luca anymore.
31:12I don't want Camila anymore.
31:14I don't want any of it.
31:15My father patted my back gently.
31:16Then don't.
31:18You will always have a home.
31:20Behind us, Luca tried to step forward.
31:24Vivian, please.
31:26Let me talk to you one more time.
31:28My father looked at him, his voice cold.
31:31You've said enough.
31:33Camila stood behind Luca, one hand pressed to her cheek.
31:36For once, she had no clever words.
31:39I did not turn back.
31:40I let my father lead me into the car.
31:42The wedding house, the dress, the rings, the dream boundaries I had once protected for love.
31:47All of it stayed behind me.
31:48Through the car window, I saw Luca standing in the driveway, finally realizing that begging
31:52at the door was not the same as being allowed back into my life.
31:56The car pulled away.
31:57This time, I was not running.
31:59I was leaving.
32:01The day after I went home, Luca came to the house.
32:05I did not see him.
32:07I only heard my father's furious voice downstairs.
32:11Get out.
32:13She doesn't want to see you.
32:15The door slammed shut.
32:16My mother brought hot cocoa to my room and sat beside my bed.
32:22The wedding is canceled.
32:24Your father has contacted the planner, the venue, and the lawyers.
32:28The cancellation and the end of the engagement are being handled.
32:33The engagement gifts, the deposits, and the expenses both families prepared have all been
32:39settled.
32:39My mother gently held my hand.
32:42As for Luca, he refuses to accept it.
32:46He keeps saying the wedding will go on as planned.
32:50But that has nothing to do with you anymore.
32:53I leaned against her, my chest tight and sore.
32:57Mom, Luca isn't even the one I hate most.
33:00I just can't understand why it had to be Camilla.
33:04Why it had to be the person I trusted most.
33:07My mother stroked my hair.
33:09Some people hate you not because you hurt them,
33:13but because you make them see what they don't have.
33:16I held the mug with both hands.
33:19The heat did not erase the pain, but it reminded me I was still alive.
33:23Outside my room, Luca kept calling.
33:26Inside, I finally stopped answering.
33:30The day before the wedding, Vivian did not answer a single call from Luca.
33:35Luca sat alone in the empty church, staring at the wedding scene.
33:39Vivian had spent three months preparing, from dusk until deep into the night.
33:43White roses covered the pews.
33:45The jazz band was still rehearsing.
33:48Every time the bells of the Cathedral of St. Viviana rang, his face grew paler.
33:52Church bells weakened the dream glamour left by Succubi.
33:56That meant every ring made him a little more sober.
33:58He finally began to understand.
34:00Vivian truly was not coming.
34:02Camilla went to him.
34:03She wore a white dress.
34:05Looking like a poor imitation, she stood in the candlelight.
34:08Her black tail held tight, though red still lingered in her eyes.
34:11Luca.
34:12Well, even if Vivian doesn't come, you still have me.
34:16Luca looked at her dot, the face that had once seemed exciting, fresh, and dangerous now only made him tired.
34:21You?
34:22He laughed once, his voice cold.
34:25What do you have that could compare with her?
34:28Camilla's face went white.
34:31You wanted me to.
34:34Luca stood, his eyes full of self-loathing.
34:36Yes.
34:37I wanted you because you made me feel like I didn't have to be responsible.
34:41Because you said you didn't care.
34:43Because you made me feel like I could briefly become a piece of trash and pay no price for it.
34:49He moved toward her step by step.
34:51But you will never be Vivian.
34:55Luca's voice echoed through the empty church.
34:58She could be shaking from hunger and still refuse to take one extra bit of life from my dreams.
35:07She knew I was afraid of being abandoned.
35:10So she stayed with me through every nightmare until I woke up.
35:13And you?
35:15You only amplified my desire and watched while I destroyed her with my own hands.
35:20Camilla's eyes reddened.
35:22That was still your choice.
35:24The words pierced Luca's last excuse.
35:26He stumbled back.
35:28Yes.
35:28It was my choice.
35:35So the person who deserves to die most is me.
35:38Camilla reached for him.
35:40Luca, I can stay with you too.
35:42He threw off her hand.
35:43Don't touch me.
35:45Every time I touch you, I feel a little dirtier.
35:48That sentence drove Camilla completely over the edge.
35:51Red light flared in her eyes.
35:52The candles in the church flickered hard.
35:55She lunged forward, grabbed Luca by the collar, and kissed him.
35:59It was not love.
36:00It was one last hunt to prove she was still desired.
36:03Luca froze against his mouth.
36:05She said viciously,
36:06That's not what you said last night.
36:10When you were holding on to me and refusing to let go, you didn't sound so disgusted.
36:14Luca shoved her away.
36:15Camilla staggered back.
36:17Her eyes red enough to bleed.
36:18Luca ran out of the church, wanting to find Vivian.
36:21Camilla chased him into the rain.
36:26The rain before dawn came down hard.
36:28Luca ran toward his car, soaked through, his hands shaking as he tried to call Vivian again.
36:33Pick up!
36:34Please, Vivian!
36:35Pick up!
36:35Only the cold, busy tone answered him.
36:38Camilla got into the passenger seat before he could lock the door.
36:43You can chase her all night, but she won't come back.
36:48Get out.
36:49No.
36:50Look at me.
36:52Red light filled her eyes.
36:54Luca gripped the steering wheel.
36:55Trying not to look at her, Samela tried to trap him with succubus glamour.
36:59In the illusion, Luca saw Vivian walking toward him in her wedding dress.
37:03Her veil was soft.
37:05Her eyes were gentle.
37:06Her eyes were gentle.
37:06The church behind her was filled with white roses.
37:09Luca.
37:10For one second, Luca forgot how to breathe.
37:12But when that version of Vivian came closer, he suddenly woke her.
37:16No.
37:18She will never look at me like that again.
37:21Camilla screamed and grabbed his arm.
37:23Why her?
37:25Why is it always her?
37:27Because she loved me and I destroyed her.
37:29The car swerved.
37:32He yanked the steering wheel.
37:33The car crashed into the iron railing beside the road.
37:37In the distance, the bells of St. Viviana rang.
37:40Camilla's illusion shattered.
37:42Blood, rain, and broken glass spread across the road where a wedding should have begun.
37:49Before my flight took off, I received a video call from a friend.
37:53I did not want to answer.
37:55But the call came again and again.
37:58So I finally swiped the screen.
38:01In the frame, Luca lay in a hospital bed.
38:04His face was ashen.
38:06Gauze wrapped his forehead.
38:07The moment he saw me, his eyes reddened.
38:13He started crying as soon as he said my name.
38:16I know I was wrong.
38:18I really know I was wrong.
38:20His voice broke, like the little boy who had once been trapped in nightmares.
38:25It wasn't that I didn't love you.
38:28I was greedy.
38:30I thought that as long as I hid it well, I wouldn't lose you.
38:34I thought you would always forgive me.
38:38But I was wrong.
38:40He cried until he could not continue.
38:43The friend beside him sighed.
38:46Vivian, he was trying to go find you.
38:48Camilla stopped him.
38:49They fought over the steering wheel.
38:51And the car crashed.
38:53Camilla still hasn't woken up.
38:56Luca keeps calling your name.
38:58Could you maybe-
38:59No.
38:59I cut him off.
39:01The other side went quiet.
39:02I looked at Luca.
39:03It was not that my heart did not hurt.
39:05But pain did not mean going back.
39:08Luca,
39:09Luca, you and I are over.
39:11I have him after any of you for helping him hide this from me, because I still remember
39:15our past friendship.
39:17But that does not give you the right to speak for him.
39:20From today on, we are no longer friends either.
39:24Luca fell apart on the screen and called my name.
39:28Vivian!
39:28Don't hang up!
39:31I really can't live without you!
39:33I looked at him.
39:34For the first time, I did not soften.
39:37You can.
39:38You just aren't used to living with the consequences of losing me.
39:42I ended the call.
39:43Then I blocked everyone connected to him.
39:45When the plane rose into the clouds, the cold rainy night of Los Angeles was left far
39:50behind.
39:51My mother held my hand.
39:53My father sat on my other side, pretending to read a travel guide, though his eyes were
39:58red.
39:59Vivian, if you want to sleep, lean on me.
40:02Or on me.
40:04I'm not really reading this thing anyway.
40:06I smiled.
40:07I'm okay.
40:08This time, I was not pretending to be strong.
40:11I had been badly hurt.
40:13But I had not died in that betrayal.
40:16I had my parents.
40:17I had a home.
40:18And I had the courage to keep walking forward.
40:21The city below grew smaller and smaller, until Luca, Camila, and the wedding that never
40:27happened became a cluster of lights behind the clouds.
40:30I pressed my palm over the mark beneath my collarbone.
40:34It was still warm.
40:35But it no longer felt like a warning.
40:37It felt like proof that I could keep moving forward.
40:42Over the next two months, we went many places.
40:46From the white sands of New Mexico.
40:49To the red rocks of Arizona.
40:51From the neon of Las Vegas.
40:54To sunsets along the Pacific.
40:56My succubus mark grew steadier.
40:59I stopped being afraid of my bloodline.
41:02I learned how to build boundaries in dreams.
41:06I learned to read desire.
41:08I learned not to make myself responsible for the emptiness inside other people.
41:13One night in Arizona, my father found me sitting outside the motel alone.
41:19Nightmare again?
41:21Not exactly.
41:22Then what is it?
41:24I think I'm scared that if I accept this part of myself, I'll become like Camila.
41:30My father sat beside me.
41:33Power doesn't make you like her.
41:36What you choose to do with it does.
41:38The first time my black wings fully unfolded was in a motel outside Las Vegas.
41:43That night, the moonlight was cold.
41:45I woke from a nightmare and felt a faint tearing sensation behind my back.
41:50In the mirror, I saw a pair of black wings slowly open.
41:54Not evil, not a curse.
41:56Only proof that I had finally stopped denying myself.
41:59My mother knocked softly at the door.
42:02Vivian?
42:03Are you alright?
42:04I looked at the reflection in the mirror.
42:06For the first time, I did not hate what I saw.
42:09Yes mom.
42:10I think I am.
42:11I finally understood.
42:13I was not a monster.
42:15The monsters were the people who used love and desire as excuses to hurt others.
42:22Two months later, I returned to Los Angeles.
42:25As soon as I reached the house, I saw Camila.
42:28She had lost a lot of weight.
42:30She stood outside the fence, looking in again and again.
42:33She was not wearing heavy makeup.
42:35And she was not in one of those bright, eye-catching dresses.
42:38Her tail was gone.
42:40Or rather, she was forcing it to stay hidden.
42:42Too afraid to let it appear in front of me.
42:44My mother's face turned cold immediately.
42:47What are you doing here?
42:49Camila looked startled.
42:51When she turned and saw me, her eyes reddened at once.
42:54Vivian, can I talk to you?
42:56I did not want to go.
42:58But I knew some old wounds had to be stitched by my own hands.
43:02Or they would keep rotting under the skin.
43:05You don't owe her anything.
43:08I know.
43:09I looked at Camila through the fence.
43:12The girl who once walked into my room without knocking.
43:15Now stood outside like a stranger asking permission.
43:20Ten minutes.
43:20Camila nodded quickly.
43:22As if afraid I would take the words back.
43:27We walked to a corner cafe.
43:29We had come here all the time.
43:31She ordered an iced latte.
43:32I ordered hot cocoa.
43:34She used to laugh at me and say I was still a child.
43:37Now she sat across from me, stirring her cup again and again.
43:44Camila looked at me across the table.
43:46Have you been okay these past two months?
43:48I did not answer.
43:50She lowered her head.
43:51I haven't.
43:52The people from our old circle won't talk to me anymore.
43:55Even the counselor from our college application year called me.
43:59Her voice shook.
44:00She said, Camila, losing at Vivian is something you'll regret for the rest of your life.
44:05I didn't understand at first.
44:08Then she told me that the year we applied to college, you could have gone to that top school on
44:12the East Coast, but you turned down the offer for me.
44:15She said, everyone knew I was the only one who kept pretending I didn't.
44:20Camila cried.
44:21Vivian, I was so jealous of you.
44:25You had a good family, parents who loved you, great grades, beauty, and even succubus blood that felt cleaner than
44:34mine.
44:35You didn't have to take anything.
44:37People loved you anyway.
44:38And no matter how hard I tried, I felt like your shadow.
44:42She looked up at me, so I wanted to steal from you once.
44:46Her voice sank.
44:48Actually, that night, when I asked you to check my phone, it wasn't because I trusted you completely.
44:53I knew Luca might message me.
44:55I should have taken the phone, but I didn't.
44:58For one second, I even wanted you to see it.
45:01I wanted to know what your face would look like when you realized I could make the man you loved
45:07lose control, too.
45:08So even the beginning of my heartbreak had been staged by her own hand.
45:14Camila could not quite meet my eyes.
45:17I wanted to see you lose to me once.
45:21But now I know what I stole wasn't Luca.
45:24What I destroyed was the best thing you ever gave me.
45:28She cried so hard, she almost could not breathe.
45:30I'm sorry.
45:32Vivian, I'm sorry.
45:33If this had been before, I would have felt sorry for her.
45:37I would have handed her tissues.
45:39I would have held her.
45:40I would have said it was okay.
45:43But now, I only looked at her calmly.
45:46Some apologies came too late.
45:49Too late did not undo the damage.
45:51Too late did not erase betrayal from memory.
45:54Camila, I stood.
45:57Don't come looking for me again.
45:59Her face went white.
46:00Vivian, I regret it.
46:02I looked at her.
46:03Then live with what you did.
46:06Don't make me digest it for you.
46:08I turned and left.
46:09Behind me, she sobbed my name.
46:13Vivian, please, I don't have anyone else.
46:16I stopped for only one second.
46:18Then I kept walking.
46:19Once, those words would have chained me to her guilt.
46:22Now, they only proved I had been right to leave.
46:25I did not look back.
46:28Later, people said Luca sold his private club in Los Angeles.
46:32He went to Chicago and left their shared circle completely.
46:35Some people said he was trapped by nightmares every night, in those dreams.
46:40Vivian walked toward him again and again, only to turn into black smoke before he could touch her.
46:46Vivian, wait.
46:48But the dream Vivian never stopped.
46:50Every night, he woke with his hand stretched into empty air.
46:54He stopped attending parties.
46:56He stopped answering old friends.
46:58The man who once knew exactly how to smile for every room now sat alone until dawn.
47:03Afraid to sleep and more afraid to wake.
47:05Others said he found a succubus contract lowyer and tried to trade half his life for Vivian's return.
47:11The lowyer looked through the old contract book, then closed it.
47:14Succifiber contracts can trade in desire, memory, dreams, pain, and time.
47:21Then take it!
47:23That is not the problem.
47:25Luca's face was pale.
47:26Then what is?
47:28They cannot trade in another person's free will.
47:32I don't need her forced.
47:35I just need a chance to see her.
47:37If she does not want to return, no contract can bring her back.
47:41Luca lowered his head.
47:42For the first time, there was no one left for him to blame.
47:46Because Vivian did not return for one simple reason.
47:49She did not want to.
47:53Half a year later, I opened a dream counseling studio.
47:56I specialized in helping people trapped by desire, nightmares, and low-level succubus contracts.
48:02I no longer denied my succubus blood.
48:04I no longer treated my ability like a curse.
48:07I could see desire.
48:08And because of that, I could also see sincerity.
48:11That rainy night, my last client sat across from me, fingers twisting together.
48:16Will this contract make me a bad person?
48:19No.
48:20But letting someone else use it to control you will hurt you.
48:24How do I know if what I feel is mine?
48:27I looked at the faint contract shadow around their wrist.
48:30Real desire leaves you with a choice.
48:33Control takes the choice away.
48:35The client slowly nodded.
48:37Did you learn that from books?
48:38I smiled faintly.
48:40No.
48:41From losing something I once thought I couldn't live without.
48:44After the client left, the bells of the Cathedral of St. Vibiana rang.
48:49Once, those bells had made me weak.
48:53Now I only stood by the window and watched rain fall through the streetlight.
48:58The succubus mark under my collarbone warmed faintly.
49:02This time, it was not warning me of a contract, hunger, or someone else's desire.
49:09It was only reminding me that I finally belonged completely to myself.
49:13My father called.
49:15Coming home for dinner?
49:17I smiled.
49:18I am.
49:19I live a real life.
49:21And my parents' love is real too.
49:25After I hung up, I turned off the lights in the counseling studio.
49:29The glass door reflected my shadow.
49:31Black hair, red lips.
49:33A faint dark gold light in my eyes.
49:35Behind me, a pair of black wings opened softly in the reflection.
49:39Then folded away.
49:41For a moment, I stood still and looked at myself.
49:44I remembered the girl who used to hide every sign of hunger.
49:48I remembered the girl who refused to enter the dreams of the man she loved.
49:53Because she thought love should never become control.
49:56I remembered the girl who trusted her best friend with wedding dress photos, vow drafts,
50:04keys, rings, and every soft place in her heart.
50:08That girl had been hurt.
50:09But she had not been foolish for loving sincerely.
50:13The foolish ones were the people who mistook her trust for weakness.
50:17The phone buzzed again.
50:19For one second, an old reflex made me glance at it.
50:22It was not Luca.
50:23It was not Camila.
50:24It was only my father sending a picture of dinner.
50:27Your mother says if you don't come soon, I'll eat your portion.
50:29I laughed for the first time that night.
50:33Don't you dare.
50:34The ordinary warmth of that message was worth more than every dramatic vow Luca had ever made.
50:41I pushed the door open and walked into the rain.
50:44This city was still bright, intimate, and dangerous.
50:49Desire was everywhere.
50:51But I would never lose myself in someone else's desire again.
50:57Luca, Camila, all the love that had vanished in midnight dreams.
51:02It was all behind me now.
51:04My life did not need me to look back.
51:07Even if betrayal had made me stumble once, I would keep walking forward.
51:12Luca's voice once told me.
51:15Vivian, you are not a monster.
51:17Camila once asked me.
51:19Vivian, we'll never be apart, right?
51:21Back then, I had believed both of them.
51:24Now, I no longer hated myself for believing.
51:27Love had been real on my side.
51:29Betrayal had been real on theirs.
51:31And I did not have to carry both.
51:33The rain softened the city lights.
51:36The succubus mark beneath my collarbone glowed once, calm and steady.
51:40I looked up at the sky.
51:42I belonged to myself.
51:43No one answered, because no one needed to.
51:46The answer was already in the way I kept walking.
51:49Behind me, a pair of black wings opened softly in the rain, then folded away.
51:55I was not running from desire anymore.
51:58I was not starving myself to prove I was good.
52:01I was not waiting for someone else to tell me I was safe to love.
52:04I was alive.
52:05I was free.
52:06And I would never again mistake someone else's hunger for my home.
52:10I was like, oh, my God.
52:11I was like, oh, my God.
52:12I was like, oh, my God.
52:12I was like, oh, my God.
