The explosive finale to the Weekly Spooky summer horror saga!

Bella Taibon — vampire, cheerleader, and descendant of the powerful Taibon bloodline — is offered a second chance to undo her greatest regret. But accepting the Hellweaver’s compact means going back to 1889… and facing a deadly betrayal that shattered her family.

Now, armed with the memories and powers of her future self, Bella must fight to stop an alien vampire hybrid, save her bloodline, and kill the most dangerous creature she’s ever known: Thornton Jillian.

But as Bella rewrites history to protect her loved ones, the goddess of Perdition reveals her true plan… and Bella learns that winning her soul back may have doomed the multiverse.

A blood-soaked, time-jumping horror fantasy packed with betrayal, vengeance, and jaw-dropping reveals — you don’t want to miss the final chapter.

1
00:00:01.480 --> 00:00:06.360
She was a cheerleader than a vampire. Now Bella Tabon

2
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:10.080
has one shot to rewrite her past and stop a

3
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:14.759
betrayal that shattered time itself. But with God's watching and

4
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:21.440
monsters in her blood, changing fate could possibly destroy everything.

5
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:28.640

Ghosts and death. It is not recommended for the week

that way way.

10
00:00:53.479 --> 00:01:07.439
This is Weekly Speaking, Hello, my Spookyes, it's Wednesday, and

00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.959

spooky in your weekly I'm your host and narrator, Enrique Kuto,

30
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:28.240
face the final chapter, five souls, one ancient goddess, and

31
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:34.159
a game played across centuries of blood, betrayal, and resurrection.

32
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:39.680
Bella Tabon is the last hope of Strickfield, a cheerleader

33
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:44.240
turned vampire warrior, with one chance to rewrite her destiny

34
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:50.800
to stop the hell Weaver from escaping perdition forever. But

35
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:55.039
when family secrets run deeper than blood and the dead

36
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.919
won't stay buried, the price of a second chance can

37
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:04.240
get my expensive, and it might just cost the fate

38
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:11.199
of the multiverse. So get cozy. Our finale starts right

39
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:23.000
after this. Previously on Deadly Second Chances, Sin brought an

40
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.240
ancient tome to her Mother the hell Weaver containing the

41
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.319
Second Chance Compact. It grants hell Weaver the power to

42
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:36.680
escape perdition by offering second chances to five beings. If

43
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.639
three of those beings should fail, she claims their souls

44
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.840
and escapes perdition. Hell Weaver reserved the soul of Aides

45
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.840
Mary for failing to change her life for the better. However,

46
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.280
she failed to capture the souls of two mirons in

47
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.080
Jensen and Calvin. Once thought irredeemable, they were able to

48
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:02.759
make better choices and change their fates. Hell Weaver tied

49
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.840
the soul count at two to two when Laura Lee

50
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:09.520
Hardy believed she had changed her fate for the better,

51
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.919
only to have ultimately failed. Now her soul waits in reserve,

52
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:19.560
along with that of aids Mary, hell Weaver has left

53
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.360
Perdition in her astral form to make her final second

54
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:28.000
chance offer to the one and only Bella Tabon. In

55
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:39.920
the conclusion to Deadly Second Chances by Rob Fields, present

56
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:47.120
day perspective, Bella Tabon, Ainie and Me are cleaning out

57
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:52.480
a vampire nest just outside Strickfield. Felicia Mirren, the mutant

58
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:56.959
Spider Girl, has been helping us out on our missions.

59
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.680
Between the three of us, we take down a lot

60
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:03.319
of AI empires. When Ainy saw that article in the

61
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.399
Strickfield Journal about a school bus full of cheerleaders from

62
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:11.360
Ridgeway Heights that disappeared in the area we're in now,

63
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.480
she quickly came to me. From there we contacted Felicia.

64
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:22.399
The nest was numerous with the addition of the cheerleaders. Unfortunately,

65
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:26.480
there was no saving them since they claimed innocent blood

66
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:31.800
to seal their transformations. After we finished clearing the nest,

67
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:36.079
Felicia webbs the whole house and brings it down. Then

68
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.199
I use my cheap parlor tricks to start a roaring

69
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:44.800
bonfire and burn all that timber, making sure no vampires

70
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:50.279
are left. Hain't it funny? Three Strickfield High cheerleaders against

71
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.319
the Ridgeway Heights cheerleaders, and it ain't even about sports

72
00:05:54.399 --> 00:06:00.199
this time? Suddenly a bright light appears near us. If

73
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.600
I could pee, i'd have wet myself. You, I shriek,

74
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:12.600
hell Weaver smiles. You know of me, bella tabon Good?

75
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:19.959
Then no introductions are necessary. Who's this Bell's Ainie asks

76
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.480
in her mousey voice. It's her. I barely managed to say,

77
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:31.360
she's the hell Weaver. Aini and Felicia know I ain't kidding,

78
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:36.839
and prepare a fighter. Hell Weaver looks annoyed. Your powers

79
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:42.519
and weapons are useless against me. Stand down. I did

80
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:48.199
not come for battle. My say is with you, Bella tabon,

81
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:53.360
I vamp out and raise my claws. You want my soul,

82
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:58.639
you'll have to kill me first. Again, Aini and Felicia

83
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.680
are ready to fight by my side. Hell Weaver again

84
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:08.839
looks annoyed. There shall be a contest today, Tabon, but

85
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.399
not in this manner. I am here to offer you

86
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:16.240
a second chance to change your life for the better.

87
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:22.439
Ainy points right at her bells will never I shift

88
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:27.240
back to my human form and quickly raise my hand. Iine,

89
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.720
don't provoke her. You got no idea what hell Weaver

90
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:37.519
here is capable of. Wisely spoken, the demonic goddess says,

91
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.040
I show her I got brains too. You think I

92
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.759
don't know what you're doing. I don't know how you

93
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:49.000
found our families lost home, but I know you're using

94
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:54.720
the second chance compact. Quite correct, Hell Weaver assures me.

95
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.480
You might be surprised at what my daughter is capable

96
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:04.439
of fining, especially when it was your family's lost tome,

97
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:11.680
and now I freely offer you a second chance. I

98
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.839
narrow my eyes on her. You claim two souls, you

99
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.759
need one more, allowing you to escape from your prison

100
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:26.040
in perdition. I tighten my fists and shake you. Think

101
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:32.039
I don't know why you chose me specifically, hell Weaver chuckles,

102
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:37.559
and you shall accept my offer. I know your family

103
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:44.360
and its legacy all too well. M exactly why would

104
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:50.080
Bella accept? Felicia snaps. I answer her question because hell

105
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:55.320
Weaver here knows I can't refuse. Now. Aini and Felicia

106
00:08:55.399 --> 00:09:02.440
turned to me and shrieked. Together. What why? Ainy yells

107
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.960
if this hell Weaver is everything you've told me, Because

108
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:10.960
if I don't accept, she'll just offer the second chance

109
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.279
compact to someone she'll easily get her third soul from.

110
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:19.360
I sigh. I can't allow hell Weaver to escape Perdition.

111
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.000
She's the single most dangerous threat to the entire multiverse,

112
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:29.120
even worse than Patrick Gunter. That would be entirely on

113
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:33.600
me if she got out of perdition just for refusing

114
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.240
the compact. I ain't got a choice. Felicia's jaw drops

115
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.799
and her eight legs kinda shake, like she might have

116
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.679
just found out her fiance cheated on her or something.

117
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.480
Then she says to hell Weaver, you truly are a vile,

118
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:55.759
horrible monster. Silence mutant. You do not speak to me

119
00:09:55.960 --> 00:10:00.519
unless I command it. This correspondence is between Bella Tabon

120
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.440
and myself. I raise my hand in front of me.

121
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:10.120
You guys, please, Then I look at hell Weaver, fine

122
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:17.159
and fuck you, I accept. Hell Weaver chuckles again. Of

123
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:21.840
course you do. Now, all that I require is for

124
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:24.960
you to tell me where I shall place you in

125
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:29.120
your past. From there you shall have your opportunity to

126
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:33.360
change your life for the better. I point at her.

127
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:38.480
I know you're up to something. You have shown intelligence

128
00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:42.519
to determine why I might have chosen you. She replies,

129
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:48.000
But the real question is can you truly determine my

130
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:55.039
master plan and the role that you play. I will

131
00:10:55.279 --> 00:11:00.320
win your game, I promise her. You're staying in perdition.

132
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:08.159
Hell Weaver laughed scornfully. Enough, talk where shall I place you?

133
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.320
And know that I shall not interfere in any way?

134
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:17.320
Why would I when it is not in my best

135
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.360
interest to do so?

136
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:25.159
Don't go away, weekly, Spooky will be right back.

137
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.559
I gotta think for a moment. Then I remember the

138
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:37.320
day in eighteen eighty nine when I became a master

139
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.919
vampire and Thornton Jillian had the last laugh on me.

140
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:47.519
I swore revenge when he slaughtered my family, leaving me

141
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:52.360
as the last Tabon. It was our battle where I

142
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.159
killed him. First, I staked him by putting him on

143
00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:02.200
a tree spike. Then I decapitated him. I was badly

144
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:07.039
hurt and passed out from injuries and blood loss. Jillian's

145
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.720
blood dripped from his neck and into my injuries, turning

146
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.360
me while I was unconscious. Since then I used my

147
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:21.120
new powers to continue the Tabon way and save innocence.

148
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:26.600
My quasi undead life was never a happy one. However,

149
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:31.840
it was through meeting Aileen Donnerly and establishing my friendship

150
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:36.720
with her that gave my life meaning beyond being a tabon.

151
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:42.639
I tell hell Weaver where to place me. Suddenly Iine

152
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:46.600
comes and throws her arms around me. I hug her back.

153
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:51.320
I'm sorry, but I ain't got a choice. When we

154
00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.840
come apart, she's crying. Please find us when you return.

155
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:00.480
I could never forget you, Iini, I glance. It's over

156
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:05.840
my shoulder. Or you. Felicia. The giant spider points right

157
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:10.879
at me. You just make damn sure you win. I

158
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:14.879
look at hell Weaver, I'm the last one. You can

159
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:19.559
only offer the compact to five beings. When I beat you,

160
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:23.279
you're gonna stay in perdition from there. You can't use

161
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:29.879
the compact ever again, unless another way has already presented

162
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:33.799
itself for me to escape. Even should you change your

163
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.000
life for the better, hell Weaver counters, but be assured

164
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.320
that I shall have my three souls required. Try as

165
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:50.639
you will, you shall never determine my master plan. And now, Taybon,

166
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:59.759
I'm leaving present day as I know it forever. Eight

167
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:05.759
eighty nine, I wake up in bed at the Tabon

168
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:11.639
family home and Ravenhenge. Suddenly I smell the familiar sense

169
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.919
of breakfast I'd never forgot in all my years here,

170
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:23.440
and I ain't breathing. I shoot out of bed and

171
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:27.399
go to my full length mirror. When I don't see

172
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:33.360
another me staring back, I'm confused. I should be human

173
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:39.159
again in eighteen eighty nine, but I'm still quasi undead.

174
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:45.919
I'm still tainted with Thornton Jillian's vile blood. Also, I

175
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:52.519
remember everything Graham's once told me the second Chance compact

176
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:55.759
lets you keep your current brain when you go back.

177
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.000
My heart beats faster when I hear hey, Runt, you

178
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:06.200
coming down for breakfast. That's Nicholas, my asshole older brother.

179
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.360
Oh but I don't care. I changed my clothes and

180
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:14.519
race downstairs to find the family in the kitchen. Graham's

181
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:19.200
got breakfast ready. I go sit next to Grams. Better

182
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.799
eat good, little devil, he tells me. Then it's another

183
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:28.440
day's training. Yes, sir, I reply. It feels like a

184
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:34.320
vividly beautiful dream. But soon the Freddy Krueger of my

185
00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:42.840
dreams rears her head, Cassie, I gasp. Cassie's a vampire

186
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:48.440
alien hybrid from Treylond, her home world. Our family took

187
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:53.120
her as a deal with Dracula to save Grams. Cassie's

188
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:59.039
actually Dracula's daughter, and her mother was Treylond Royalty. Cassie

189
00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:02.120
was only a year old when our family took her,

190
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:06.360
and she looked like she was four. She grew into

191
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:10.159
a humanoid woman with long blonde hair past her ass

192
00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:15.960
and huge breasts, much like other treylonned females. She eventually

193
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:21.320
seduced Nicholas and started sleeping with him, unbeknownst to any

194
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:27.279
of us except for future me. Now, Cassie approaches the

195
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.200
table and lowers herself enough to let Nicholas see her

196
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:36.039
abundant cleavage, but her red eyes are right on me.

197
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.399
Gramp says, we're facing off today and training. She gives

198
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.960
me her evil smile. I'm going to fuck you up.

199
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:50.480
Gramps stands up and points at her. You will show

200
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:56.639
respect to your family, Cassilia. Cassie stands back up and

201
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:02.720
glares at him. Then she turns and leaves. Cassies refused

202
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:06.640
to eat with the family for some time. Now, I

203
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:13.519
remember she's getting her blood from innocence, and she'll betray

204
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:20.279
our family to Thornton Jillian. I gotta stop her. Unfortunately,

205
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:24.240
Nicholas is too pussy whipped to see through Cassie's evil.

206
00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:28.880
If I'm gonna save my family, I gotta stop her first.

207
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:38.480
Cassie wants to fight after breakfast, fine with me later.

208
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:44.559
I faced Nicholas in sparring matches before. I'll admit he

209
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:49.880
was always a better fighter, but he'd forget why Graham's

210
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:55.440
nicknamed me little Devil. He ain't winning against me today. However,

211
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.759
just when Nicholas thinks he's got me. I show I'm

212
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:04.599
my futureself with my worldly training. Boy, is he ever

213
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:10.599
surprised when I finally kick his ass? Where'd you learn

214
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:16.680
those moves? Runt Nicholas demands, getting to his feet. I smile,

215
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:22.200
my cute little devil, smile. Want to go again now,

216
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:29.359
Cassie appears. No, it's my turn. When this fight happened previously,

217
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.480
Cassie beat me within an inch of my life. I'm

218
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:38.319
ready to return the favor now, especially since I'm still

219
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:43.559
a master vampire. By the way, we train in lower

220
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:47.480
levels of the house, since Cassie can't be out in daylight.

221
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:51.720
Cassie doesn't wait for Gramps to tell us to fight.

222
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.680
She comes at me and starts laying into me. She

223
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:59.200
wants to kill me because I know the truth about her.

224
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:04.279
When Cassie started refusing to eat with the family, I'd

225
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:08.960
wondered how she survived. When I heard Shore Village, long

226
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:13.440
before it massively grew over the years to become Shore City,

227
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:21.640
was finding dead bodies frequently, I knew. I investigated Cassie

228
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:26.119
and found her washing herself in a lake. Her bloody

229
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.359
clothes were on the ground and she had blood all

230
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:36.799
over herself. Unfortunately I wasn't quiet enough. Cassie easily saw

231
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.599
me with her night vision and gave me her evil stare,

232
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.960
confirming what I knew about her killing innocence for food.

233
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:51.279
You're not safe yet, weekly Spooky will be right back.

234
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:59.960
Getting back to now, Cassie shows her speed and lands

235
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.279
hits on me. She sure ain't pulling her punches. At

236
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.079
one point, she clocks me good and knocks me on

237
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.920
my ass. I'm quickly back on my feet and lay

238
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:15.279
into Cassie myself. Oh the look on her face when

239
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.279
she sees I ain't just gonna stand there and die

240
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:23.160
for her. I love being my future self here. The

241
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.039
more Cassie and me fight, the more our hatred for

242
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.759
each other comes out. Cassie's learned from Gramps's training sessions,

243
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:34.559
for sure, because she's giving me a good fight. But

244
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:38.240
this ain't no sparring match. This is a fight to

245
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.680
the death, and it's quite evident when Gramps tells us

246
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:46.000
to stop fighting each other and we don't. Nicholas comes

247
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:49.799
up behind Cassie and tries restraining her, but she throws

248
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:53.680
him off easily. She goes full on vamp and comes

249
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:59.640
at me again today you die, Bella. Now we're truly

250
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:05.559
locked in mortal combat. Okay, immortal combat. Cassie and Me

251
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:09.000
throw everything we got at each other. We're both just

252
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:12.839
punching and kicking away. We can't keep our hands off

253
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.279
each other. All the hate we feel is coming out here.

254
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:19.880
We don't even listen to Gramps when he orders us

255
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:25.319
both to stop, especially when we're damaging shit little devil.

256
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.240
Gramps gasps when he sees how quick I heal up.

257
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.200
When Cassie lands what would have been a lethal scratch

258
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.880
on me, since the cat's out of the bag, I

259
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:41.720
go full vamp myself. Boy, does Cassie ever shit When

260
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.039
she sees why she ain't beating me so fast like

261
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:49.519
she expected. We both scream and keep fighting to the death.

262
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:54.160
When I remember everything Cassie did in my old timeline,

263
00:21:54.839 --> 00:22:00.200
especially learning she was secretly Thornton, Gillian's lover and our betray,

264
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:04.680
I know I gotta stop her. When we reach a

265
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.960
wooden fence, I break off a few planks and put

266
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.400
them together into a cross. Once I have faith, Cassie

267
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:15.480
holds her hands out in front of her and screams.

268
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:21.400
Then I touch my makeshift crucifix to her hands. Note

269
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:25.000
this does not work on me, along with the other

270
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:30.759
vampire weaknesses. Get away from me, Cassie shrieks, jumping back.

271
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:36.480
Get away, talk about sweet revenge. Cassie failed to kill me,

272
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.279
just like before. Now she sees her hands are burned

273
00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:45.400
and glares right at me. This isn't over Bella. I

274
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:51.240
will kill you, she swears, all of you. Gramps has

275
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:55.680
finally had enough of Cassie and banishes her from Ravenhenge.

276
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:01.039
The deal with Dracula be damned. Cassie's still vamped out,

277
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:05.240
ready to attack Gramps. I don't even think twice about

278
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:08.200
it and warp in between Cassie and him. I groan

279
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.480
a little when Cassie swipes her claws and catches me

280
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:14.920
under my chest. When I heel up again, I know

281
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.920
I got a stopper, and I especially don't care about

282
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:25.759
the pact with Dracula. This is my family. With all

283
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:29.720
the determination and hate I feel for Cassie, I scream

284
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.519
and drive one of the fence posts right through her heart.

285
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:39.319
Cassie gasps and just stares right at me. Eventually she

286
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:45.400
falls onto her back and passes out. Gramps and Nicholas

287
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:50.000
are still shocked at seeing I'm a vampire myself. That's

288
00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:54.599
when Grahams appears next to me. That's right, she's a

289
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:59.079
vampire herself. Should have been obvious, seeing she looks twenty

290
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:03.880
years younger than That was the deal Dracula made with

291
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.640
him after Thornton Jillian put Grams on death's waiting list.

292
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:12.319
Dracula couldn't have played the devil's advocate any better. That day,

293
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:16.799
he promised Gramps he would save Grams if the family

294
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:21.319
would take his daughter and keep her safe. He didn't

295
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:25.640
even care if Gramps trained her as a tabon. Truly,

296
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:29.519
Dracula cared for Cassie enough to entrust her to an

297
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:34.960
enemy like Solomon Tabon, the patriarch of our clan, as

298
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:40.079
a Tabon. Gramps would have said no, but Anathea was

299
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:43.359
his soulmate and he couldn't bear to be without her.

300
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.480
He knew we kids couldn't either, and accepted the deal.

301
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:54.160
Dracula sired Grams and taught her the vampire ways before

302
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:58.839
releasing her back to Gramps. Even though she was a

303
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:05.680
vampire now, Graham's was still Grams. Dracula handed Cassie over

304
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:10.200
to mom and Dad. Thornton Gillian eventually learned of Cassie

305
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:16.440
and planned his attack. When Gram's figure Gillian was targeting Cassie,

306
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:19.759
he contacted Mom and Dad and told him to bring

307
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:24.960
all of us kids to Ravenhenge Immediately. Long story short,

308
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:31.079
Gillian intercepted my family. Mom and Dad fought against him valiantly,

309
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:36.680
but Gillian killed them both before he could kill Nicholas

310
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:41.200
and me and take Cassie. Grams and Grahams arrived and

311
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:46.519
fought him off. Okay, Cassie had no part in killing

312
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:51.359
my parents, but she just never seemed to care. This

313
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:55.279
was why I refused to call her family or cut

314
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:59.400
her a brake. We would learn Cassie's alien half rendered

315
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:02.799
her an able to care, and being a vampire made

316
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:08.920
her much worse. She couldn't be redeemed. The older she got,

317
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:12.920
the more evil she became, the more she only cared

318
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:17.799
for herself. Come with me, little devil, Graham says in

319
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:23.920
her motherly tone and takes my hand, Just touching Rams again.

320
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:27.920
I can't help myself and come into her arms and cry,

321
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:35.079
Oh honey, she murmurs, holding me close. After I release

322
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:38.799
my pain and anxiety of carrying my family's deaths with

323
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:42.519
me all these years. I finally come out of her

324
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:47.319
arms and face her. Then, out of the corner of

325
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:53.640
my eye, I see Cassie starting to move. Let's take

326
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.920
Cassie to the dungeon and lock her up, Nicholas Grahams

327
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:01.839
tells him. But then the state comes out of Cassie

328
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:06.559
like something was literally pushing it right out of her. Suddenly,

329
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:10.519
Cassie gets back to her feet and vamps out again.

330
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:16.960
I'm going to drink you up, she hisses at Gramps

331
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:18.119
and Nicholas.

332
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:23.720
Did you hear that? Better check the locks on your doors? Weakly,

333
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:25.599
Spooky will be right back.

334
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:32.039
I vamp out again myself, like hell you will. Cassie

335
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:35.880
and me leap at each other again. She's so determined

336
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:39.160
to kill the rest of the family that she becomes

337
00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:44.119
that much more dangerous. She claws my face, temporarily blinding me.

338
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.880
I feel my healing factor working. When I hear Cassie

339
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:53.680
howling insanely, I quickly leap her way. I feel myself

340
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:57.720
collide with her and take her down. That's when I

341
00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:01.960
have my eyes back. Now how the family watches as

342
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:07.240
Cassie and I continue our fight to the death. Cassie's

343
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:10.960
no master vampire, but her alien side makes her just

344
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.680
as strong as me. We continue our fight until the

345
00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:19.920
later afternoon. We're both unstoppable and can push ourselves further

346
00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:25.680
than mortals. So much hatred between her and me. I

347
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:28.960
haul off on Cassie and give her everything I can

348
00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:33.720
throw at her. She betrayed our family. She turned to evil.

349
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:39.000
One way or another, I will stop her, and then

350
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:42.960
I see the means to stop her and lock her away.

351
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:48.400
You will never give my family to Thornton Jillian, you bitch.

352
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:53.599
I point at her. After I finish you, then I'm

353
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:58.480
gonna kill him. I shift back to human form, and

354
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:02.079
you can know that I was the one who ended

355
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:07.200
you both. Cassie screams one more time and lunges right

356
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:10.319
at me. I quickly duck and let her slam right

357
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:15.160
into a tree. She screams again from the pain. This

358
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:19.119
time I saw that sharp point sticking out of the

359
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:24.200
tree and drew her in the second time today, I

360
00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:29.559
staked her. Cassie can't pull the steak out and drops over.

361
00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:40.960
I hate you, she barely says before passing out. There's

362
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.400
no point in beheading Cassie since her alien side won't

363
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:49.039
let her die. Once I saw her get beheaded. Her

364
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:53.400
head flew right back over her body, and reattached itself

365
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:58.440
like it never even happened. When I lift Cassie's body

366
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:02.440
into my arms, Graham tells me to follow him. We

367
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:06.240
take her to the secret Tabon burial ground in Ravenhenge

368
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:11.480
and place her within her own vault. There, her body

369
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.000
will wither away like death and remain that way as

370
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.759
long as some dumbass doesn't open her vault and remove

371
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:24.319
the cross or steak. Go to hell, Cassie, I tell

372
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:29.720
her when we close and lock her vault. Gramps and

373
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:33.079
I don't say anything to each other, though I know

374
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.960
the family will want an explanation for why I'm a vampire.

375
00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:42.640
There's no point hiding it. After all, the whole point

376
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:46.599
of my coming back to this time was to save

377
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:50.519
my family, and God damn it, I will keep my

378
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:55.839
family alive, and Little Devil is already putting her own

379
00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:05.720
master plan together. Eight months later, the day finally comes

380
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:11.799
when Thornton Gillian attacks the Tabon family at Ravenhenge. Prior

381
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:16.720
to that, I trained like I never trained in my life.

382
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:21.720
I really let Gramps work me, never complained once. Nicholas

383
00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:25.559
still calls me runt, even though he knows I'm a

384
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:29.119
master vampire. But I show him I can match him

385
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:34.039
in fights. I know Nicholas has killed two master vampires

386
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:40.400
by himself. Technically I killed one. In fact, the biggest

387
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:44.240
threat to our family to date. I still remember how

388
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:49.000
Thornton Gillian slaughtered what was left of our family. I

389
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:54.119
already changed history by staking and binding Cassie During that

390
00:31:54.240 --> 00:32:00.279
initial fight, Cassie was seemingly on our side, then she

391
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:06.119
turned on us. Nicholas was fighting Thornton Gillian and winning.

392
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:10.519
It was Cassie who distracted Nicholas long enough for Gillian

393
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:15.799
to take his opening and kill him. All Cassie had

394
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:21.119
to do was flash her sexuality. Cassie herself didn't attack

395
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:25.000
the family, but she shared in drinking their blood with

396
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:30.119
Gillian after he slaughtered them. That was when I learned

397
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:35.359
she was Gillian's lover. Well, Gillian's gonna be on his

398
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:38.519
own when he comes for us. For a moment, I

399
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:44.200
almost wonder if he will without Cassie helping him. Nope,

400
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:48.839
this part of time does happen. I still never understood

401
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:53.759
how Thornton Gillian crossed the barrier into Ravenhenge which was

402
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:58.720
how he caught us off guard before. When Gillian surprises

403
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:02.240
Gramps while cutting firewood, I spring up out of my

404
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:08.000
hiding place and surprise that bastard back. Oh, I almost forgot.

405
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:11.920
Graham's was prepared too. You knew I had to tell

406
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:17.000
the family everything about my final fight with Cassie. Funny thing.

407
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:22.920
Grahams already knew I wasn't myself. Her Magic's actually told

408
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:27.519
her I was from the future. At first, Grahams forbade

409
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.720
me to talk about it, but I had to disobey

410
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:35.759
her and tell the family. When they knew I wasn't kidding,

411
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:40.160
I laid out my plan. Of course, Nicholas was pissed

412
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:44.079
at me. He always was a sexist pig, and no,

413
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:47.680
he never once turned on me. He just wanted to

414
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:52.440
be the big hero. No little runt turned master vampire.

415
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:59.200
The entire Tabon family in Ravenhenge comes and attacks Thornton Gillian,

416
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:04.039
throwing everything we've got at the second most powerful master

417
00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:10.039
vampire to exist, with Dracula being the king. Jillian proves

418
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:13.039
his power and keeps all of us on our guard.

419
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.920
Graham's is doing the most damage to him. She's nowhere

420
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:20.159
near as powerful as Gillian on her own, since he's

421
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:25.000
got many more years as a vampire over her. Her magic, however,

422
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:29.719
is the difference maker. Nicholas finally puts his sexist pride

423
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:33.000
aside and works with me. At one point, he lowers

424
00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:35.719
himself to all fours for me to leap onto him

425
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:40.559
off his back to fly at Gillian. Unfortunately, I ain't

426
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:44.280
as fast as I thought. Jillian easily sees me and

427
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:48.239
moves to swap me away, but I warp right behind

428
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:53.400
him and swot him away instead. When Jillian gets up,

429
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:57.079
he warps to Nicholas and snatches him close. No way,

430
00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:01.320
Lightning's gonna strike twice. I slip right underneath Nicholas and

431
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:04.960
actually grab Jillian by the balls. Believe it or not,

432
00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:10.039
this very move is why Graham started calling me little Devil.

433
00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:14.960
Nicholas got over confident during a sparring match. He was

434
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:18.360
clearly dominant over me, but I ended up doing to

435
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:22.440
him what I'm doing to Jillian. If there's anything I

436
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:26.519
learned in those days as the youngest Tabon, it was

437
00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:32.320
a male's most vulnerable point. When Jillian's screaming, That shows

438
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:36.239
even the second most powerful master vampire can be hurt.

439
00:35:36.280 --> 00:35:41.840
When you attack those two little jingleberries. Jillian lets go

440
00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:45.639
of Nicholas. He didn't run though. When I grab hold

441
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:48.559
of him from behind. Nicholas quickly wets a steak with

442
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:53.199
holy water and drives it right into his heart. Jillian

443
00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:56.360
screams again. He breaks my hold on him and knocks

444
00:35:56.440 --> 00:36:00.079
Nicholas away. Grams comes to Gillian when I make I

445
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:04.840
can scream again after another squeeze down there, and shoves

446
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:09.679
a handful of holy wafers into his mouth. Gramps snatches

447
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:13.199
me up before Jillian can and runs me to safety.

448
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:17.400
He puts me down and gives me a weird look.

449
00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:22.679
You wicked little devil. I smirk. He always said to

450
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:26.960
use my head, Gramps. Jillian is hurt bad and runs

451
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:29.480
for it. It's time to put an end to this

452
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:35.000
shit once and for all. I run after him. What

453
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:39.559
are you doing, little devil? Gramps yells behind me, this

454
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:45.760
ends tonight. I yell back. I'm burning with determination to

455
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:50.079
both end Jillian and make sure my family stays safe

456
00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:55.079
and alive. I just got them back, goddamn it. I'll

457
00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:59.320
die first before I ever lose them again. Knowing the

458
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:03.280
tab on Fitmily just sent Thornton Jillian running means he

459
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:08.079
never got to slaughter them. Most of all, I will

460
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:10.360
not be the last tabon.

461
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:17.239
If you thought that was scary, just you wait, weekly spooky.

462
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:18.760
We'll be right back.

463
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:30.639
One hour later. I finally find Thornton Jillian at one

464
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:34.360
of his nests. Good thinking, go to a nest the

465
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:39.199
family cleared out recently. Problem is, we tabons don't have

466
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:44.760
stupid tattooed to our foreheads. When Jillian sees just litl

467
00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:49.679
old me, he smiles like it's Christmas. You never should

468
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:54.280
have come at me alone, little girl. I ain't even

469
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:58.119
the least bit scared. A lot has changed since the

470
00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:02.000
last time you and me danced together. Asshole. Now I'm

471
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:06.079
gonna show you just how much. Gillian gives me a

472
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:11.440
weird look. You truly are a fool tabon. Had you

473
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:15.000
and I ever battled one to one, I would have

474
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:20.039
easily slain you. He bears his claws and vamps out again,

475
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:25.719
as I shall do this very night. Soon. The two

476
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:30.679
of us are showing our considerable skills. Jillian seems surprised

477
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:34.119
by my martial arts moves, even more surprised when I

478
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:37.800
can match him for strength, Having my future brain and

479
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:42.519
all my powers is a real difference maker. Like with Cassie,

480
00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:46.199
Gillian and me have a hell of a fight. Too bad,

481
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:48.880
I don't have any of that liquid sunlight from when

482
00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:53.280
we had our final fight in my original timeline. Determination

483
00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:57.000
fuels me. When I'm proving to be the dominant against him,

484
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:00.800
I'm beating the living shit out of him. At one point,

485
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:04.639
Jillian grabs hold of me and slices me below my chest,

486
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:08.800
just like he did during our original final battle. I'm

487
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:14.280
bleeding fast, but not for long, Thornton, Jillian will die

488
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:19.840
this day. I will make sure my family lives know this.

489
00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:23.320
When you die, you son of a bitch, you made

490
00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:26.800
me into what I am today, It'll be your own power.

491
00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:31.519
That'll be the end of you. Here and now. Suddenly,

492
00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:35.199
Jillian roars and gets back to his feet to snatch

493
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:37.760
me to him. I break his hold on me and

494
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:41.039
grab him. I turn him around and throw him into

495
00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:43.960
the very same tree where I ended him in my

496
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:49.440
original timeline. Jillian screams when the sharp branches come out

497
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:53.079
through the front of his chest. He tries to pull

498
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:57.440
himself free, but I don't let that happen. He glares

499
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:00.719
right at me as blood seeps out of his mouth.

500
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:08.480
I shall return Bella Tabon. I shall find you and

501
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:15.679
make it new more powerful tribe using your womb. I

502
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:20.199
raise my hands and give Jillian two middle fingers. I

503
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:24.360
can never have children. You saw to that yourself in

504
00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:29.400
a former life. And now I throw as much of

505
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:33.039
my hatred and rage into my final blow against Gillian

506
00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:37.880
as I possibly can, and knock his goddamn block clean off.

507
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:42.280
His head goes flying several yards into a field. I

508
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:46.199
quickly move and retrieve the head. I return to Gillian's

509
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:49.719
slain body and use my cheap parlor tricks to set

510
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:55.199
the body on fire. Then I dropped the head and

511
00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:59.960
set it on fire too. I know now that hell

512
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:04.079
Weaver will never claim my soul. Since I know I've

513
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:10.679
bettered my life, I've saved my family, and the Tabon

514
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:16.280
family bloodline is guaranteed to live on. I hope you

515
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:20.679
burn in everlasting pain and suffering while you're in hell.

516
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:30.239
Jillian two thoy and twenty. A part of me wondered

517
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:32.679
if hell Weaver would come for me at some point.

518
00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:38.400
I waited and waited, but she never showed up. I

519
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:42.400
ultimately wouldn't return to the present. I remembered until I

520
00:41:42.440 --> 00:41:45.440
got there on my own through the natural course of time.

521
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:51.039
Even though I killed Thornton Jillian and burned his body twice,

522
00:41:51.880 --> 00:41:56.199
I'm still a master vampire. I don't get it. If

523
00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:59.559
Hell Weaver returning me to eighteen eighty nine didn't restore

524
00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:04.199
me to human, then shouldn't killing Jillian myself have restored

525
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:09.360
me to human again? But no, I still have all

526
00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:12.719
my powers. I even learned some new ones over the

527
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:17.360
course of my do over. I guess Thornton Jillian still

528
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:21.400
has the last laugh on me. After all. I returned

529
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:25.000
to my family and told them what happened. Oh did

530
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:28.239
I ever catch hell from everybody for going after Thornton

531
00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:32.840
Gillian all on my own. On a more positive note,

532
00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:36.639
since I still have my monstrous appetite, I can enjoy

533
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:40.480
more of Graham's home cooking. Believe me, she don't mind

534
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:46.440
feeding me. Speaking of time itself, I would eventually lose

535
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:50.679
members of my family. Grahams and Nicholas both grew old

536
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:55.239
and passed on when their times came. Grahams did offer

537
00:42:55.360 --> 00:43:00.559
to sire them, but they refused. By the way, Nicholas

538
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:05.000
and I each found companions and got married. Want to

539
00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:09.280
hear something really crazy. It was one thing for Nicholas

540
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:12.840
and his wife to have kids since they're both mortals,

541
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:16.760
but I myself actually had kids of my own with

542
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:20.880
my husband. I definitely have stories to tell you about

543
00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:25.760
my marriage. Still, I guess I shouldn't bitch, since having

544
00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:30.000
kids is what keeps the Tabon family bloodline going. The

545
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:33.360
kids Nicholas and I made with our spouses have since

546
00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:37.000
grown up and taken spouses of their own, and they

547
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:42.280
are raising kids themselves. Then they took spouses and made

548
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:47.480
babies too. As for Grahams, she became the new head

549
00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:51.599
of the Tabon family. My sister in law, Veda, would

550
00:43:51.639 --> 00:43:55.840
die of old age a few years after Nicholas. After

551
00:43:55.920 --> 00:44:00.760
the family buried Veda, Grahams and I left Ravenhenge. Graham's

552
00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:04.519
Magic's told her about strange things going on in the

553
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:09.960
village of Strickfield, so we decided to move there. Since

554
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:13.199
other vampires have been trying to get into Ravenhenge to

555
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:17.239
gain Cassie's body, Graham's figured it would be better if

556
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:20.360
we took it with us and kept it locked away.

557
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:27.440
U sh it was only the wind. You're safe, weekly, spooky.

558
00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:28.920
We'll be right back.

559
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:41.280
One week later, Graham's and I settled into our new

560
00:44:41.320 --> 00:44:46.119
house in Strickfield. At our private burial grounds, Cassie's body

561
00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:49.639
is locked in its new home inside a new burial vault,

562
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:53.719
where it'll be safe and secure. I know more and

563
00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:58.320
more that I changed my life for the better. I

564
00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:03.159
got my family back right, and we're still growing. Speaking

565
00:45:03.159 --> 00:45:06.079
of family, I got to keep my promise to Aine

566
00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:10.639
and Felicia and track them down. I still remember the

567
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:14.079
exact times when I met both of them and can

568
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:19.159
just position myself. Yes, there were other changes to my timeline,

569
00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:23.880
but many stayed the same. Hopefully things with AINI and

570
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:28.960
Felicia can be the same again as before. I leave

571
00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:32.039
the house to run some errands for Grams. When I'm

572
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:39.039
crossing Gunter Square, there she is Hell Weavers, standing just

573
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:43.480
ahead of me. She don't waste any time. I know

574
00:45:43.679 --> 00:45:47.719
you must think that you have defeated me bela tabon.

575
00:45:48.760 --> 00:45:53.360
She raises her finger. I am here personally to assure

576
00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:57.320
you that you have not. I point back to her.

577
00:45:57.920 --> 00:46:01.320
I was your fifth and final soul in the compact.

578
00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:04.960
I changed my life for the better. You ain't getting

579
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:10.719
my soul face at Hell Weaver. You lost Hell Weaver

580
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:16.119
laughs scornfully. Yes, you have made quite the new life

581
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:23.760
for yourself, Bella Tabon. However, suddenly this sucubus looking demon

582
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:29.239
descends and lands next to hell Weaver. This is Sin,

583
00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:36.800
my daughter. She was the key to my salvation. This

584
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:41.400
sin looks just like her mother, only hell Weaver doesn't

585
00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:45.719
have a pointy tail. She's giving me a sinister smirk.

586
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:51.239
That's right, Tabon, and now my mother is free at

587
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:57.639
long last. I tighten my fists. Bullshit, I glare at

588
00:46:57.679 --> 00:47:01.519
hell Weaver. You came to me with the second chance compact.

589
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:06.320
I accepted it, and one which means you stay imprisoned

590
00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:12.559
in perdition. Hell Weaver chuckles. I see that you require

591
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:19.199
proof of my freedom very well. Suddenly hell Weaver's on

592
00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:22.760
me and grabs me. She's far too powerful for me

593
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:25.639
to break loose. When she easily slams me into the

594
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:28.639
ground with one hand, I can feel she ain't even

595
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:31.440
trying as she beats the living shit out of me.

596
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:36.320
Soon she pins me down. I can't break free. Are

597
00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:40.800
you satisfied now that I am no longer imprisoned within perdition?

598
00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:46.199
Hell Weaver asks, I did indeed gain the three souls?

599
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:51.440
That I required to finally escape perdition. How the hell

600
00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:54.960
could you have done that? I demand, I was your

601
00:47:55.039 --> 00:48:01.559
final soul. I beat you now, I hear sin laugh. Hey, Tabon,

602
00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:08.360
you ever heard of loopholes? Ah? Yes, loopholes are so

603
00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:13.639
easy to find in print. Hell Weaver agrees. It is

604
00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:17.800
true that I did not gain your soul. However, this

605
00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:24.760
was never about your soul. Tabon, you possess intelligence. Figure

606
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:29.199
it out. What are you going to do? Kill me now,

607
00:48:29.719 --> 00:48:33.960
I yell, I could easily end your immortality this day,

608
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:38.519
but I shall not. She lets me go and watches

609
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:42.880
me get back up. Go find and form your new

610
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:46.960
battle guard. You have until I have completed a new

611
00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:51.880
reality sphere and am ready to finally claim the multiverse.

612
00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:55.920
How did you gain your third soul? If it wasn't me,

613
00:48:56.639 --> 00:49:01.760
I demand again, you owe me that. Hell Weaver smiled

614
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:07.320
very well. Believing that you might not retain your soul,

615
00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:12.880
one close to you offered to take your place. There

616
00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:18.559
is nothing written within the compact preventing that. Hence the loophole.

617
00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:22.960
You were released from the Second Chance Compact to live

618
00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:28.519
your new life as you chose without consequence. Unfortunately, the

619
00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:33.480
one who agreed to take your place was not so fortunate,

620
00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:39.280
allowing me to gain my third soul, And now I

621
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:43.880
am free once more. I leave it to you to

622
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:49.119
learn who it was that took your place. Farewell, Tabon,

623
00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:56.639
we shall most certainly meet again. She turns to Sin, Now,

624
00:49:56.800 --> 00:50:03.360
my baby, do you understand the importance of following the rules? Yes,

625
00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:09.760
you're so right, mom, Sin answers as they fly away together.

626
00:50:11.400 --> 00:50:14.760
I'm too weak to pursue them, even at full strength.

627
00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:18.239
What could I do? Maybe I can stop Sin, But

628
00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:22.840
hell Weaver is a goddess. Now that she's free, the

629
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:27.440
entire multiverse is on borrowed time. I pray that AINI

630
00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:30.320
wasn't the one who struck the bargain with hell Weaver,

631
00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:34.719
But who else could it have been? I waste no

632
00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:38.719
time in quickly head back home and tell Grahams everything.

633
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:42.400
After we talk, I leave the house to begin my

634
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:46.960
quest of seeking out and putting together a new battleguard.

635
00:50:48.079 --> 00:50:52.079
As for Grahams, she's gonna call Ravenhenge and get someone

636
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:55.280
in the family to come to Strickfield to help her.

637
00:50:56.519 --> 00:51:03.159
Whatever the case, hell Weaver must be stopped. Not the end,

638
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:12.960
Bella Tabon saved her family she changed her fate, but

639
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:16.840
she didn't stop hell Weaver. Now freed from perdition, the

640
00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:20.599
Goddess has her eyes back on the multiverse, and a

641
00:51:20.639 --> 00:51:25.239
mysterious soul has already been sacrificed to let her escape.

642
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:29.079
Who gave up everything to save Bella? And can the

643
00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:33.679
Battleguard rise up before all is lost? The Second Chance

644
00:51:33.760 --> 00:51:38.280
Compact may be over, but the real horror is just beginning.

645
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:42.960

little bit more to hear their names at the end

667
00:52:47.320 --> 00:52:48.719
time for me to get out of here and get

668

670
00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:59.159
and next Wednesday. So until next time, my friends, for myself,

671
00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:03.360
for my execute to producers Rob Fields and Bobotopia dot Com,

672
00:53:03.679 --> 00:53:07.079
