99 heartbreaks the mate you ignored dailymotion #shortfilms #drama
Transcript
00:00At midnight my soul floated out of the basement bedroom door was shoved open a brother Scott barged in scoffing
00:07when he didn't see me
00:09Aren't you a little old to be playing hide-and-sneak and throwing tantrums normally I would have argued back
00:15But this time I just floated beside him unable to make a sound Scott called my phone it went unanswered
00:23He casually flipped through the journal on my desk there was only one thing written inside 99 the number of
00:29times
00:30They had let me down over the veers Scott didn't get it. He frowned tossed the journal onto the floor
00:35and left a voicemail
00:37Stop with the stupid games Miranda wants your homemade cookies. So get back here and make them for her. It's
00:43her graduation day
00:45Don't you dare ruin it?
00:47Get home within the hour and I'll forgive you Scott pocketed his phone and returned to the living room
00:53Chelsea's not in her room and she's not answering her phone. She always does this. We've spoiled her
01:00No one contact her this time
01:04Let's teach her a lesson
01:05She can cool off on her own
01:08And she'll come crawling back tomorrow Miranda drifted over her face a mask of concern
01:13Dad, don't say that
01:16What if something really happened to Chelsea? Maybe I should text her
01:21You know Chelsea and I are so close
01:23She lowered her eaves
01:25I watched as she pulled out her phone
01:27Her slender fingers tapping on the screen
01:29Hope you enjoyed getting marked up by those rogues
01:33Who are you screwing now?
01:34The party was a blast by the way
01:36Thanks for not showing up
01:38It would be so much better if you'd just drop dead
01:40After sending it, she deleted the message and typed a new one
01:44Sister, are you okay?
01:45We're all so worried about you
01:47We're all Zy Ryder with you
01:49If you're mad at us, just take it out on me
01:51Please, just come home
01:52She held the phone up for everyone to see
01:55What a perfect portrait of a caring, considerate sister
01:58Mom pulled her into a hug
02:01Her voice dripping with sympathy
02:03You're always so kind, Miranda
02:05This has nothing to do with you
02:07Chelsea is just being immature
02:09Immature, a bitter laugh escaped my ghostly form
02:13Though no one could hear it
02:14In their eyes, it was always Miranda
02:16Who'd even remember today was my Distinguished Service Award
02:19Only given once every two years
02:21Knowing they'd all celebrate her graduation
02:24I told them not to come to my ceremony
02:26I never tried to compete with Miranda for their affection
02:29But just as I was about to leave for the ceremony
02:32The front door crashed open
02:33Three rogue wolves
02:35They moved fast
02:36Get your hands off me
02:38One already had my wrist locked behind my back
02:41I kicked, connected with someone's shin
02:43He swore and shoved me into the wall
02:45My shoulder hit the doorframe
02:47They dragged me to the basement
02:49How did you get a key to our house?
02:51One of the men dangled a keychain in front of me
02:54It was Miranda's
02:55Your precious little sister handed it over
02:58Said you're expendable
03:00Since mom and dad only care about her anyway
03:02The little silver keychain she'd had since she was twelve
03:05I'd recognize it anywhere
03:07My blood ran cold
03:12You bitch!
03:14Liar!
03:15Miranda would never...
03:18Slamming me against the concrete wall
03:20Forearm pressed to my throat
03:22Don't bother struggling
03:25You're not leaving this basement today
03:26I won't tell anyone, I promise
03:28Please just don't kill me
03:30In the end, they ignored my pleas
03:32Pinned me down
03:33Violated me
03:34And bit my neck wrong
03:36Taking countless photos amidst their foul talks
03:39Fought all my life
03:40And in a struggle
03:41My head slammed against the corner of the table
03:44My blood gushed out instantly
03:46Terrified
03:47I fled
03:47I found the last of my strength
03:49Dragging myself across the floor to my phone
03:52And try to call
03:53Mom
03:54Every werewolf senses mortal danger in family through the pack bond
03:58Yet they all thought I was just seeking attention
04:01Not only did they decline my calls
04:03But they even sent me a message
04:06Faking suffocation again?
04:08Drop the act
04:09Your father and I don't have time for your drama
04:12We've already severed our pack link to you
04:15Only my mate, Ryan, picked up
04:17Help me
04:19Ryan, I'm dying
04:23Chelsea, cut the drama
04:25This is Miranda's big day
04:26There's a limit to your attention seeking
04:29I already told you I'd make it up to you with a graduation present
04:32But, Ryan, I was already dying
04:34A bitter smile touched my lips
04:36Too bad
04:37You'll never get the chance to make it up to me
04:39Within 24 hours
04:41The stench of decay will start to drift from the basement no one ever enters
04:45Miranda always said she wished I were dead
04:47So no one would compete with her for your love
04:49Now, her wish has come true
04:51My spirit was trapped in the living room
04:54Forced to watch their cozy family scene
04:56My father, usually an early sleeper
04:59Stayed up
05:00Sitting with Miranda as she opened graduation gifts
05:03My mother was picking out stunning dresses online
05:06Promising a whole new wardrobe for Miranda's trip
05:09Mom, I already have so many clothes
05:11My closet is full
05:14Then we'll put them in Chelsea's room
05:17She's always so focused on her duties
05:19She never buys new clothes anyway
05:21She doesn't need the closet space
05:24Is that okay?
05:26Chelsea will be upset
05:27Miranda, you don't have to be so timmed
05:29This is something Chelsea should do for you as her older sister
05:33Scott sat nearby
05:34Diligently shelling pistachios for Miranda
05:37I couldn't say a word
05:38Just watching the warm scene unfold
05:40Turns out, a spirit can cry
05:42The warmth was theirs
05:43The loneliness was mine
05:45But Chelsea's still not back
05:47And she's not replying to my texts
05:50Is she still mad at us?
05:52I feel so terrible with her not here
05:54At the sound of Miranda's voice
05:56The three of them finally shifted their attention from her
05:59And remembered me
06:00Dad frowned instinctively
06:04Don't mind her
06:05She just wants us to revolve around her
06:09When will she ever grow up?
06:11Mom's face showed a flicker of impatience
06:14It's just a distinguished service award
06:16They give one out every two years
06:18You know Miranda's college graduation only happens once
06:22Why must she throw a tantrum on a day like this?
06:26Mom, don't say that
06:28Chelsea will be sad if she hears you
06:29She had to practically beg for that award
06:35Oh, did I just say that out loud?
06:39I knew Miranda was never innocent
06:41Growing up, my grades were always better than hers
06:44Yet even with Mom
06:45Dad and Scott wrapped around her finger
06:48Miranda would still make up lies about me plagiarizing
06:51Dad never questioned it
06:52He just beat me
06:53I'd long told myself I'd find my mate someday
06:56I finally know what it felt like to be someone's first choice
06:59Just once
07:00Two years with Ryan
07:02And his heart still drifted to Miranda
07:04I should have been sad
07:05Maybe I was just numb
07:07My soul was too numb to feel pain
07:09The housekeeper brought out a platter of desserts
07:11All of them Miranda's favorites
07:13Naturally, they stopped talking about me
07:16Miranda, college must have been tough
07:18Here, eat more of your favorites
07:20She smiled brightly
07:22Boasting about he achievements in college
07:24She'd already landed an internship
07:26At a top investment bank on Wall Street
07:28Her future was boundless
07:30Dad and Scott listened
07:31Showering her with praise
07:33And I just floated silently to the side
07:35The clock struck one in the morning
07:37I still hadn't appeared
07:38Caught
07:39Save this for Chelsea
07:40She can have it when she's done with her tantrum
07:42And comes back
07:43Let's not have her think we only favor Miranda
07:46See?
07:46We saved some for her
07:47I stared at the tart slices
07:49Feeling nothing
07:50Scott thought for a moment
07:52Then reached for the plate
07:53Suddenly Miranda shrieked
07:55And snatched it from the back
07:56From where it rested near a gift
07:58Mom!
07:58It hurts!
08:00This gift!
08:01It's silver!
08:03Dad, Mom, and Scott
08:04Immediately rushed to her side
08:06Seeing the red burn-like mark
08:08On Miranda's palm
08:09They panicked
08:10We weren't around any humans at the party?
08:12Which werewolf would send a gift made of silver?
08:15That gift box
08:16Is that Chelsea's?
08:18Mom
08:20Please don't blame Chelsea
08:22The gift was on my bedside table this morning
08:24I'm just happy she was willing to give me a present
08:27I knew it!
08:28That's why she's been dragging her feet and not coming home!
08:33She was plotting to hurt Miranda!
08:36How could I have such a vicious sister?
08:37Enough!
08:38Stop arguing and get Miranda to the pack healer!
08:41Dad kicked the gift box
08:43The one Miranda had stolen from my room
08:45And slammed his hand on the table in fury
08:47We're out of gauze
08:48I'll get some from the basement
08:49Miranda's eyes darted around
08:51She grabbed Scott's arm
08:53Don't go!
08:54The healer will have gauze!
08:55It hurts so much!
08:57If Scott had taken one step closer to the basement
09:00He would have smelled the overwhelming stench
09:02But it was not to be
09:04At Miranda's words
09:06The family hurried away
09:07Leaving only my spirit floating in the empty living room
09:10I wanted to scream that I hadn't done anything
09:13But I could no longer speak
09:15And I knew that even if I could
09:17They would never believe me
09:19So be it!
09:20The housekeeper
09:20Hearing the commotion
09:22Came out to clean up the mess and sighed
09:24Miss Chelsea
09:26Why do you never learn to protect yourself?
09:30My spirit floated back to my room
09:32Seeing the journal on my desk
09:34A flood of memories washed over me
09:36When I was ten
09:37Our family held the decennial bloodline awakening ceremony
09:41That day would determine every cub's future status and power within the pack
09:46Scott was first
09:47His wolf form was pure black
09:49A symbol of power and future leadership
09:52Dad looked at him with undisguised pride
09:55When it was Miranda's turn
09:56Her wolf was a rare snow white
09:58Possessing a natural aura of peace that calmed all the pack members around her
10:03Mom held her
10:05Calling her the family's treasure
10:07Not wanting to disappoint my parents
10:09I stepped onto the awakening platform filled with anticipation
10:12But when my wolf form appeared
10:14Everyone fell silent
10:15My wolf was just an ordinary gray wolf
10:18No special abilities
10:19No rare coat color
10:21So plain that I would be lost in a crowd of pack members
10:24From that day on
10:25I became the family's common one
10:27Someone not worth investing resources in
10:30Even after I achieved the highest academic honors
10:33They still believed bloodline determined everything
10:35Scott and Miranda enjoyed all the favoritism and resources
10:39And I, like my wolf's bloodline
10:41Was ordinary
10:42Expendable
10:43My spirit followed Miranda to the healer's clinic
10:46Before long, my mate Ryan burst in
10:48He rushed straight to Miranda's side
10:50Grabbing her hand and anxiously examining the red mark on her palm
10:54How did this happen?
10:55What did the healer say?
10:56Ryan, don't be like this
11:00It's not Chelsea's fault
11:01She probably just wanted to surprise me
11:05And forgot for a moment that we werewolves
11:10Can't touch silver
11:11The more understanding she acted
11:13The darker Ryan's face grew
11:15Chelsea?
11:17Where is she hiding now?
11:20Miranda
11:20Don't be sad
11:24I'll make sure to teach her a lesson for you
11:26We hadn't completed our mate bond
11:28So he couldn't sense my death
11:29Much less know that I was right beside him
11:31Watching him in silence
11:33After leaving the clinic
11:34Ryan called my phone
11:35When it went unanswered
11:37He left a message
11:38Chelsea, how could you be so vicious?
11:40Using silver to harm your own sister?
11:41I always thought you were kind
11:42But you'd do something like this out of jealousy
11:44I was on my way to give you your award gift
11:46It's a family heirloom
11:47A pendant to congratulate you
11:48But now, you don't deserve it
11:49Consider this your punishment
11:51You'd better pray Miranda is okay
11:54Otherwise, consider our mate bond ceremony cancelled
11:57I listened to his accusations
11:59My heart too weary to even feel a thing
12:01I should have known long ago
12:03We'd fought over Miranda countless times
12:05During hunting training
12:06He only watched her agile moves
12:08When I tripped
12:09He just called me clumsy
12:10At meals
12:11He never recalled I couldn't eat spicy food
12:13Yet baked over 20 desserts just to please her
12:16I argued with him about these things countless times
12:19You're overthinking it
12:20I just think of Miranda as a little sister
12:22His coldness made me feel like a possessive lunatic
12:25But I loved him deeply
12:26I thought he was the moon goddess's gift
12:28Mine alone
12:29I was wrong
12:30My parents loved Scott and Miranda for their bloodline
12:33Why did Ryan love her?
12:34I didn't know
12:35And now, I'd never have the chance to find out
12:38Because now, whether I fell or was beaten
12:40I would never feel pain yet
12:42After midnight, dad, mom, and Scott finally returned home
12:45Exhausted
12:46I floated in a corner of the living room
12:48And heard my mother sigh
12:49It's a shame Ryan's bloodline isn't strong enough for Miranda
12:53They'd be perfect together
12:54Look how attentive he was at the clinic
12:56Yes, Ryan is quite capable
12:58And I think Miranda likes him too
13:00It would be perfect if they were mates
13:02But these things are guided by the moon goddess
13:04Don't overthink it
13:06Ryan's bloodline isn't worthy of our precious white wolf
13:09It's better to let him be with Chelsea
13:11Their gray wolf bloodlines are a better match
13:14Even if he completes the mate bond with Chelsea
13:16He can still dote on Miranda
13:19Then looked up and noticed the house was dark
13:22A faint, metallic smell hung in the air
13:24Looks like the moonstones in the house have run out of energy
13:27Scott, go to the basement and get a new one
13:29Scott grunted in agreement and strode toward the basement
13:32The closer he got, the stronger the metallic smell became
13:35His wolf instincts made him frown
13:37But he dismissed it as a dead rat in the house
13:40What's that smell?
13:41Dad and mom followed him toward the basement door
13:43Scott pushed it open
13:45A thick, nauseating stench of blood and decay rushed out to meet them
13:49In the darkness, a body lay in a pool of dried, blackened blood
13:53Its eyes not fully closed
13:55Scott stopped dead
13:57Chelsea?
13:58Scott froze
13:58My name a choked whisper on his lips
14:00But dad was the first to react
14:02His stunned expression twisted into a scowl
14:05Chelsea!
14:07Are you out of your mind?
14:09Have you had enough of this?
14:10Pulling a stunt like this just for attention
14:13Mom chimed in, her voice sharp
14:15Get up!
14:15Do you have any idea how disgusting you look?
14:19You'd stoop to playing dead just to steal Miranda's spotlight?
14:22My spirit floated beside them
14:24Watching them yell at my cold corpse
14:26They still didn't believe I was dead
14:28They thought this was just my latest ploy for sympathy
14:30Scott finally snapped out of his trance
14:33He strode forward and kicked my arm impatiently with the toe of his boot
14:36Stop acting! Get up!
14:38My body shifted slightly on the floor
14:40But otherwise, I was still
14:42That sent him over the edge
14:43Get up!
14:43Scott bellowed
14:44And his next kick sent my body rolling over
14:47The impact revealed the fatal wound on the back of my head
14:50Along with the countless bite marks scarring my neck
14:52For the first time, I saw true panic on their faces
14:55Panic for me
14:56Her body
14:57Mom's voice trembled
14:58She was finally realizing something was terribly wrong
15:01Why is it so cold?
15:07Dad's expression finally shattered
15:09A werewolf's body temperature is naturally higher than a human's
15:12If I were faking it, my body couldn't possibly be this cold
15:15It's stiff
15:16Drop the block
15:17Dad said, his voice raw
15:19We blocked our pack link to Chelsea
15:21Drop it now
15:22Let's see if she can fake being alive
15:26It was the only way to be sure if a werewolf was truly dead
15:30Dad, Mom, and Scott closed their eyes
15:33Concentrating
15:34Trying to find my faint light concentrating
15:36Trying to find my faint light within the pack's spiritual bond
15:40One
15:41Two
15:42Three
15:43Scott's eyes flew open first
15:45All the color drained from his face
15:47He staggered back a step
15:50Dad went rigid
15:51His lips starting to tremble uncontrollably
15:56Mom's face
15:57A mask of scorn and anger moments before
16:00Dissolved into pure terror
16:01Where my life force should have been
16:04There was only a cold, silent void
16:06I watched their expressions
16:08Wondering if they could feel even a fraction of the pain I had endured
16:11No!
16:12Impossible!
16:16Chelsea!
16:17While my family home descended into chaos
16:19Ryan was blissfully unaware that I was gone
16:22He had gone back to the clinic to see Miranda again
16:25My watching as he gently changed the bandage on her hand
16:29Does it still hurt?
16:30Ryan's voice was softer than I'd heard it in a long, long time
16:34Not anymore
16:37Not when you're here
16:39Chelsea went too far
16:42When she finally shows, I swear I'll make her regret it
16:49Don't blame Chelsea
16:50She was probably just desperate for everyone's attention
16:53The sight of her pain only tightened the knot of protectiveness in his chest
16:57Miranda, you're too kind
16:59She hurts you like this, and you still defend her
17:04I just worry about her
17:10Chelsea has been so lonely her whole life
17:13She just needs to be loved
17:16What she needs is a lesson
17:17Not love
17:19Selfish people like her only know how to hurt others
17:25Look at your hand
17:26Look what she did to you
17:31Ryan, I'm scared
17:34What if my sister hates me?
17:36She won't get the chance
17:38I'll protect you
17:40I won't let anyone hurt you
17:44Including Chelsea
17:49I floated nearby, listening to them paint me as a villain
17:52They spoke of my viciousness, my selfishness
17:55But who among them knew I was already a cold corpse?
17:58Ryan
17:58Miranda said softly
17:59There's something I've always wanted to tell you
18:02What is it?
18:02I know you'll differently about me
18:04She said, her cheeks flushing
18:06And I...
18:07Ryan was silent for a long moment
18:09Miranda, we can't
18:10Why not?
18:11Miranda looked up, her expression wounded
18:13You don't love Chelsea
18:14The entire family can see it
18:16My ghostly form stilled
18:18I didn't expect his answer
18:19I don't love her
18:21Do I?
18:22Ryan hesitated
18:23Then shook his head as if to clear it
18:25Chelsea is my mate
18:26We're supposed to have our mating ceremony soon
18:29Then cancel it
18:30Miranda said urgently
18:31You said it yourself yesterday, didn't you?
18:34That if anything happened to me, you'd cancel it
18:36No, Miranda, I can't
18:37I only said that to teach her a lesson
18:39Ryan lowered his head, avoiding her gaze
18:42I've always thought of you as a little sister
18:43My mate is Chelsea
18:45It will only ever be Chelsea
18:47Miranda stared at him in disbelief
18:49Fresh tears spilling from her eyes
18:51My spirit heard his confession
18:53But my heart felt nothing
18:54Ryan, I'm already dead
18:56Your love is far too little
18:57And much too late
18:58Ryan, I always knew Chelsea was more likable
19:02I don't blame you
19:03It's my fault for not being good enough
19:06Miranda cried, clinging to him
19:08Ryan hesitated, not pushing her away
19:10Just then, his phone rang
19:11It was Scott
19:12That must be Chelsea
19:13She's probably home
19:14A flicker of relief in his eyes
19:16Miranda, don't cry
19:18I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind
19:20He answered the phone
19:21But it wasn't news of my return
19:22It was
19:23Ryan, Chelsea's dead
19:24What the hell kind of mate were you?
19:26Ryan's eyes widened
19:27Chelsea's dead?
19:29The phone slipped from his numb fingers
19:31And clattered to the floor
19:32He finally understood
19:33I wasn't throwing a tantrum
19:35I wasn't fighting for attention
19:37I was never coming back
19:41Ryan sped home
19:45Arriving to find Dad in my room
19:47Clutching my journal
19:48He opened it to the first page
19:50And his hands began to tremble
19:52Seventeen, tenth birthday
19:54The whole family forgot
19:55Only the housekeeper remembered
19:57And bought me a small cake
19:59Twenty-three
20:00Miranda got a paper cut
20:01Mom and Dad stayed up all night with her
20:04I had a broken bone
20:06And had to lie in bed alone
20:10Thirty-two
20:11I won first place
20:13In the Pax Science Fair
20:16But Mom and Dad went to watch
20:18Miranda's hunting trials
20:20Ninety-nine entries
20:21From childhood until now
20:24Every single one was dated
20:25A detailed account of their neglect
20:29The three of them huddled around the journal
20:31Tears streaming down their faces
20:36Forty-five
20:37At the Bloodline Awakening ceremony
20:39I became the most common gray wolf
20:41Dad was so disappointed
20:42He turned and walked away
20:44Without a single word of comfort
20:48Forty-eight
20:48Our anniversary
20:49Ryan spent the day helping Miranda pick out a dress
20:52Are we still going to have our mating ceremony?
20:55Moon Goddess, please show me the way
20:58Fifty-two
20:59Mom said it would be better if Miranda were their only daughter
21:03It would be better if Miranda were their only daughter
21:06Mom, it was my birthday
21:08The last entry read
21:09Once it hits ninety-nine
21:10I'm done hoping for their love
21:12It's probably going to hit ninety-nine tomorrow
21:14They won't remember to come to my award ceremony
21:16They only care that it's Miranda's graduation
21:21What have we done?
21:27Mom slumped to the floor
21:29Sobbing hysterically
21:30Chelsea, I'm sorry
21:31I'm so sorry
21:33Scott picked up the journal
21:34His hands shaking as he flipped through the pages
21:36Every number was a needle piercing his heart
21:39We owe her so much
21:40She remembered everything
21:42And we just took it all for granted
21:44Ryan stood frozen in the doorway
21:46A silent witness to their grief
21:48He remembered the past two years
21:49How I had so cautiously tried to share my academic achievements with him
21:53I had craved his attention
21:54But he had always been distracted by something
21:56Or someone else
21:57I'll hold a funeral for her
22:00The grandest funeral the pack has ever seen
22:03I want the entire pack
22:06Elaine to know that Chelsea was our most outstanding child
22:09But it was too late
22:10An apology can't bring the dead back to life
22:12I was too tired to care
22:14A week later
22:15My funeral was held
22:16All the werewolves who had missed me at the award ceremony
22:19Came to pay their respect
22:20They mourned me
22:21Calling me the pack's most brilliant researcher
22:23But my family had never known that part of me
22:25All they knew was a troublemaker
22:27Who fought with Miranda for their affection
22:29Ryan knelt before my grave all night
22:31Chelsea, I was wrong
22:33I was so wrong
22:35I thought I didn't love you
22:36But now I know I'm nothing without you
22:39Come back please
22:41Yell at me
22:42Hit me
22:43Just come back
22:44But I could never go back
22:46Mom placed a platter of my favorite desserts in front of my headstone
22:49She had finally remembered that I loved mango tart when I was little
22:52But she remembered far, far too late
22:54Dad and Scott knelt beside her
22:56Repeating my name like a prayer
22:58They swore they would spend their lives atoning for their sins
23:01But I didn't need their atonement anymore
23:03The funeral was grand
23:04Only Miranda wasn't there
23:05She claimed she wasn't feeling well and couldn't come
23:08In reality, she was at home
23:09Celebrating
23:10Celebrating that there was finally no one left to compete with her love
23:16While sorting through my belongings
23:18Dad found my moonstone
23:20If a werewolf dies nearby
23:22A dimmed moonstone will record their final memories
23:26The realization hit him like a physical blow
23:29He quickly called Mom and Scott over
23:31Ryan followed them
23:32A silent shadow
23:34He said, his voice trembling
23:35They're saved in here
23:39We have to see what really happened that day
23:45They gathered around the stone and placed their hands on it
23:53It began to glow
23:56And an image of my final moments flickered to life
24:00I was at home
24:02Getting ready to leave for my award ceremony
24:09When I heard a noise downstairs
24:14Two strange rogues had broken in
24:16She's here
24:17Stick to the plan
24:18One of the men spoke
24:19Dangling a keychain with Miranda's signature charm at it
24:22You sure no one's going to come looking for her?
24:28Relax
24:28The whole family's at the little sister's party
24:32No one gives a damn about this one
24:33Miranda said if we just rough her up and take a few pictures
24:36Remember
24:37Don't actually kill her
24:39Just ruin her reputation
24:42In the vision
24:42I backed away
24:43My face etched with terror
24:45Who are you?
24:47Why are you doing this to me?
24:48Don't be scared, little wolf
24:50It'll be over soon
24:51It'll be over soon
24:52Ah!
