Victor walks into the grand vampire banquet arm in arm with Ella. The other guests stare at them, so Victor tells her to remain at his side. Adela enters through the main doors amid drifting red rose petals. She confronts Victor for bringing a mortal into their gathering. Victor claims Ella as his own and steps away. Adela then isolates Ella in a corner and delivers a cold warning about Victor's cruelty.
Victor enters the castle banquet hall with Ella on his arm. The gathered vampires turn and stare at the mortal guest. Victor leans in and tells Ella to remain right beside him as they move through the crowd.
The massive front doors swing wide open. A cloud of red rose petals drifts through the air into the room. A vampire noblewoman named Adela makes her grand entrance wearing an elaborate purple gown.
Adela strides over and confronts Victor about breaking their laws by escorting a mortal. Victor firmly tells her that Ella is his. He tells Ella not to wander off and walks away for a moment.
Adela approaches Ella alone in a corner of the hall. She catches Victor's scent on Ella's skin. Adela smirks and warns Ella that she is only a temporary toy who will not survive Victor's boredom.
“Stay close to me.”
“Victor, bringing a human to an occasion like this, have you forgotten the laws of our society?”
“She's mine. I don't owe you or anyone else an explanation for who I choose to bring.”
“When he grows bored with you, not even your bones will remain.”
Adela stands over Ella in the corner of the hall with a mocking smile. She reminds Ella that Victor discards his human playthings quickly, promising that not even her bones will survive his indifference. With Victor gone, can Ella survive Adela's hostility on her own in a room filled with bloodthirsty vampires?
