[30kHz alarm blaring loudly (inaudible to humans)]

[Quiet footsteps]

[Ragged breaths]

[30kHz alarm stops]

[Ruffling of sheets]

Unknown Hunter: [Far away]Wh— No, how did—

Luminita: Hello.

Unknown Hunter: What? Where are you!?

Luminita: Hiding, and throwing my voice for good measure. Please tell me you weren't expecting something else.

Unknown Hunter: But… But how did you—

Luminita: I'll never understand how people like you so consistently underestimate me. Even as a human, it happened so often… and now, I have so many more tools at my disposal. As you may have heard.

Unknown Hunter: Oh, can it, bloodsucker. Are you really already this egotistical?

Luminita: I'd like to think not. But we both know the obvious utility of continuing to relentlessly talk to you in the manner in which I am presently doing, don't we? Did you think that I was going to spare you this treatment? Is that why you decided to break into my home uninvited and come for my head?

Unknown Hunter: Hnng… Perhaps I trusted you too much. So much for principles, huh?

Luminita: This is self-defense and you know it, hunter. The door is always open if you'd prefer to leave. Oh, and by the way, I'm taking your continued invasion of my home as consent to be recorded.

[Unknown Hunter laughs]

Unknown Hunter: What, so the law can save you? You’re really delusional, you know that? You don’t get special privileges for being a good person’s corpse.

Luminita: I’m not going to the police, don’t be ridiculous. I haven’t relied on them since they gassed my friends back in ‘68. No, I’m recording for my research. It’s my first time, you see— valuable data.

Unknown Hunter: [Strained]...You are so full of shit. You think you’re safe? You think you can dodge what’s coming to you?

Luminita: I don’t exactly have a choice but to try. Wouldn’t you?

Unknown Hunter: No, because I didn’t let some fucking parasite crawl inside me and use me like a puppet. You didn’t have to do this to yourself.

Luminita: But I did, and we’re all going to have to live with that now.

Unknown Hunter: One of us will, and it won’t be you.

Luminita: I’d prefer both, really, though I do intend to keep my promises regarding my own life. To be entirely honest, I’m not sure how you’re meant to factor into that particular equation. Do you know my life better than I do?

Unknown Hunter: I’m not a delusional fucking bloodsucker, so yeah, I think I do.

Luminita: Well, I suppose the perspective makes sense. We all have our limits. For me, it was the love of my life being horrifically violated and brainwashed by a racist Victorian Satanist, but I suppose—

Unknown Hunter: SHUT UP! You’re never gonna get it, stop kidding yourself. There’s always gonna be another excuse, I’ll just… I’ll just have to show you.

[Rummaging]

Luminita: I really think you’d be better served by—

[A bag plops on the floor]

[Luminita faintly growls]

Unknown Hunter: Yeah, got real quiet all of a sudden, huh? You think you’re so different?

Luminita: [whispering] No, no, no, no, no…

Unknown Hunter: You can smell it, yeah? Bet it’d taste so good, huh? Orgasmic, even?

Luminita: Don’t… I am not so… so… no. No… no—!

[Loud banging noises]

Unknown Hunter: There you are, bloodsucker!

[Knife tears through Luminita's back]

Luminita: AAAAAGH!

Unknown Hunter: Now take THIS!

[Knife stabs the floor]

Unknown Hunter: GOT— Wait, no. Fuck. FUCK!

[Bag pops]

[Loud slurping noises]

[Unknown Hunter laughs]

Unknown Hunter: Wow, you really can’t help yourself. I can hear you down there, you know.

[Slurping continues]

Unknown Hunter: Pathetic. And to think I used to respect you.

[Slurping peters out]

[Luminita growls]

Unknown Hunter: Alright, then. Come on out so—

[Luminita slams Unknown Hunter against a wall]

Luminita: AB-. Like if sour gummy worms were made of cider. They say it's a delicacy; I suppose I should thank you.

Unknown Hunter: I—

Luminita: But that cut on my back will take an hour to heal, too. So I would say we’re even.

Unknown Hunter: S—[Muffled]

Luminita: And you’re right about one thing. I have been holding back, and I am this close to taking you. So we’ll be parting ways now. Look into my eyes.

Unknown Hunter: N-no, I… I won’t… it's… no, it’s… r-right, up, uh… orange… I… oh… n-no…

[Luminita sighs]

Luminita: Eight seconds. That’s impressive. I’m not sure I could’ve even managed that.

[No response]

Luminita: Ce mizerie… Alright. Here’s what’s going to happen. You’re going to leave, you’re going to go back home, you’re going to lay down in your bed, and you’re going to leave no trace of the path you took to get here. You are going to forget about where I Iive, and forget…

Unknown Hunter: Yes…?

[Luminita groans]

Luminita: And you’ll remember everything else. You can… take the experience… however you’d like. I won’t take that from you. Now, go. At whatever level of awareness is safe.

Unknown Hunter: Yes, mistress…

Luminita: Don’t push it.

Unknown Hunter: Okay…

[Footsteps]

[Door closes]

Luminita: Finally. Now, where did I leave that…

[Luminita yawns]

Luminita: Ah, there it—
