Short filmTranscript
00:01At midnight, my soul floated out of the basement.
00:04My bedroom door was shoved open.
00:06My brother Scott barged in, scoffing when he didn't see me.
00:11Aren't you a little old to be playing hide and sneak and throwing tantrums?
00:15Normally, I would have argued back.
00:17But this time, I just floated beside him, unable to make a sound.
00:20Scott called my phone.
00:22It went unanswered.
00:24He casually flipped through the journal on my desk.
00:27There was only one thing written inside.
00:3099, the number of times they had let me down over the veers.
00:33Scott didn't get it.
00:35He frowned, tossed the journal onto the floor, and left a voicemail.
00:39Stop with the stupid games.
00:41Miranda wants your homemade cookies, so get back here and make them for her.
00:45It's her graduation day.
00:47Don't you dare ruin it!
00:49Get home within the hour, and I'll forgive you.
00:52Scott pocketed his phone and returned to the living room.
00:56Chelsea's not in her room, and she's not answering her phone.
00:58She always does this.
01:00We've spoiled her.
01:02No one contact her this time.
01:06Let's teach her a lesson.
01:08She can cool off on her own, and she'll come crawling back tomorrow.
01:12Miranda drifted over, her face a mask of concern.
01:16Dad, don't say that.
01:19What if something really happened to Chelsea?
01:21Maybe I should text her.
01:24You know, Chelsea and I are so close.
01:26She lowered her eaves.
01:27I watched as she pulled out her phone, her slender fingers tapping on the screen.
01:32Hope you enjoyed getting marked up by those rogues.
01:35Who are you screwing now?
01:37The party was a blast, by the way.
01:39Thanks for not showing up.
01:40It would be so much better if you'd just drop dead.
01:43After sending it, she deleted the message and typed a new one.
01:47Sister, are you okay?
01:48We're all so worried about you.
01:50Rawls, you ride it with you.
01:51If you're mad at us, just take it out on me.
01:54Please, just come home.
01:55She held the phone up for everyone to see.
01:58What a perfect portrait of a caring, considerate sister.
02:02Mom pulled her into a hug, her voice dripping with sympathy.
02:06You're always so kind, Miranda.
02:08This has nothing to do with you.
02:10Chelsea is just being immature.
02:12Immature?
02:13A bitter laugh escaped my ghostly form, though no one could hear it.
02:17In their eyes, it was always Miranda.
02:20Who'd even remember today was my Distinguished Service Award?
02:23Only given once every two years?
02:25Knowing they'd all celebrate her graduation, I told them not to come to my ceremony.
02:29I never tried to compete with Miranda for their affection.
02:33But just as I was about to leave for the ceremony, the front door crashed open.
02:37Three rogue wolves.
02:39They moved fast.
02:40Get your hands off me!
02:42One already had my wrist locked behind my back.
02:45I kicked, connected with someone's shin.
02:47He swore and shoved me into the wall.
02:49My shoulder hit the door frame.
02:51He dragged me to the basement.
02:53How did you get a key to our house?
02:55One of the men dangled a keychain in front of me.
02:57It was Miranda's.
02:59Your precious little sister handed it over.
03:02Said you're expendable.
03:04Since mom and dad only care about her anyway.
03:07The little silver keychain she'd had since she was 12.
03:10I'd recognize it anywhere.
03:11My blood ran cold.
03:16You bitch!
03:18Liar!
03:19Miranda would never...
03:22Slamming me against the concrete wall.
03:24Forearm pressed to my throat.
03:26Don't bother struggling.
03:29You're not leaving this basement today.
03:31I won't tell anyone, I promise.
03:33Please just don't kill me.
03:34In the end, they ignored my pleas, pinned me down, violated me, and bit my neck wrong, taking countless photos
03:42amidst their foul taunts.
03:44I fought all my life, and in a struggle, my head slammed against the corner of the table.
03:49My blood gushed out instantly, terrified.
03:51I fled.
03:52I summoned the last of my strength, dragging myself across the floor to my phone, and try to call...
03:57Mom.
03:59Every werewolf senses mortal danger in family through the pack bond, yet they all thought I was just seeking attention.
04:06Not only did they decline my calls, but they even sent me a message.
04:11Faking suffocation again?
04:13Drop the act.
04:14Your father and I don't have time for your drama.
04:17We've already severed our pack link to you.
04:21Only my mate, Ryan, picked up.
04:23Help me.
04:24Ryan, I'm dying.
04:28Chelsea, cut the drama.
04:30This is Miranda's big day.
04:32There's a limit to your attention seeking.
04:34I already told you I'd make it up to you with a graduation present.
04:37But, Ryan, I was already dying.
04:39A bitter smile touched my lips.
04:41Too bad.
04:42You'll never get the chance to make it up to me.
04:45Within 24 hours, the stench of decay will start to drift from the basement that no one ever enters.
04:51Miranda always said she wished I were dead, so no one would compete with her for your love.
04:55Now, her wish has come true.
04:57My spirit was trapped in the living room, forced to watch their cozy family scene.
05:02My father, usually an early sleeper, stayed up, sitting with Miranda as she opened graduation gifts.
05:09My mother was picking out stunning dresses online, promising a whole new wardrobe for Miranda's trip.
05:15Mom, I already have so many clothes.
05:17My closet is full.
05:19Then, we'll put them in Chelsea's room.
05:23She's always so focused on her duties.
05:25She never buys new clothes anyway.
05:27She doesn't need the closet space.
05:30Is that okay?
05:32Chelsea will be upset.
05:33Miranda, you don't have to be so timmed.
05:36This is something Chelsea should do for you as her older sister.
05:40Scott sat nearby, diligently shelling pistachios for Miranda.
05:43I couldn't say a word, just watching the warm scene unfold.
05:47Turns out, a spirit can cry.
05:49The warmth was theirs.
05:50The loneliness was mine.
05:51But Chelsea's still not back.
05:53And she's not replying to my texts.
05:56Is she still mad at us?
05:58I feel so terrible with her not here.
06:01At the sound of Miranda's voice, the three of them finally shifted their attention from her and remembered me.
06:07Dad frowned instinctively.
06:11Don't mind her.
06:12She just wants us to revolve around her.
06:16When will she ever grow up?
06:18Mom's face showed a flicker of impatience.
06:21It's just a distinguished service award.
06:23They give one out every two years.
06:25Do you know Miranda's college graduation only happens once?
06:29Why must she throw a tantrum on a day like this?
06:33Mom, don't say that.
06:35Chelsea will be sad if she hears you.
06:37She had to practically beg for that award.
06:42Oh, did I just say that out loud?
06:46I knew Miranda was never innocent.
06:48Growing up, my grades were always better than hers.
06:51Yet even with Mom, Dad and Scott wrapped around her finger.
06:55Miranda would still make up lies about me plagiarizing.
06:58Dad never questioned it.
06:59He just beat me.
07:00I'd long told myself I'd find my mate someday.
07:03Finally know what it felt like to be someone's first choice.
07:07Just once.
07:08Two years with Ryan, and his heart still drifted to Miranda.
07:11I should have been sad.
07:13Maybe I was just numb.
07:14My soul was too numb to feel pain.
07:17The housekeeper brought out a platter of desserts.
07:19All of them Miranda's favorites.
07:21Naturally, they stopped talking about me.
07:23Miranda, college must have been tough.
07:26Here, eat more of your favorites.
07:28She smiled brightly, boasting about he achievements in college.
07:32She'd already landed an internship at a top investment bank on Wall Street.
07:36Her future was boundless.
07:38Dad and Scott listened, showering her with praise.
07:41And I just floated silently to the side.
07:43The clock struck one in the morning.
07:45I still hadn't appeared.
07:47Caught.
07:47Save this for Chelsea.
07:49She can have it when she's done with her tantrum and comes back.
07:51Let's not have her think we only favor Miranda.
07:54See?
07:54We saved some for her.
07:56I stared at the tart slices.
07:57Feeling nothing, Scott thought for a moment, then reached for the plate.
08:02Suddenly, Miranda shrieked and snatched the pain back from where it rested near a gift.
08:06Mom!
08:06It hurts!
08:08This gift, it's silver!
08:11Dad, Mom, and Scott immediately rushed to her side.
08:14Seeing the red, burn-like mark on Miranda's palm, they panicked.
08:18We weren't around any humans at the party.
08:21Which werewolf would send a gift made of silver?
08:23That gift box, is that Chelsea's?
08:27Mom, please don't blame Chelsea.
08:30The gift was on my bedside table this morning.
08:33I'm just happy she was willing to give me a present.
08:35I knew it.
08:37That's why she's been dragging her feet and not coming home.
08:41She was plotting to hurt Miranda!
08:44How could I have such a vicious sister?
08:46Enough!
08:47Stop arguing and get Miranda to the pack healer!
08:50Dad kicked the gift box.
08:51The one Miranda had stolen from my room and slammed his hand on the table in fury.
08:56We're out of gauze.
08:57I'll get some from the basement.
08:58Miranda's eyes darted around.
09:00She grabbed Scott's arm.
09:02Don't go!
09:03The healer will have gauze.
09:04It hurts so much.
09:06If Scott had taken one step closer to the basement, he would have smelled the overwhelming stench.
09:11But it was not to be.
09:13At Miranda's words, the family hurried away, leaving only my spirit floating in the empty living room.
09:20I wanted to scream that I hadn't done anything, but I could no longer speak.
09:24And I knew that even if I could, they would never believe me.
09:28So be it.
09:29The housekeeper, hearing the commotion, came out to clean up the mess and sighed.
09:34Miss Chelsea, why do you never learn to protect yourself?
09:39My spirit floated back to my room.
09:42Seeing the journal on my desk, a flood of memories washed over me.
09:46When I was ten, our family held the decennial bloodline awakening ceremony.
09:50That day would determine every cub's future status and power within the pack.
09:55Scott was first.
09:57His wolf form was pure black.
09:59A symbol of power and future leadership.
10:02Dad looked at him with undisguised pride.
10:05When it was Miranda's turn, her wolf was a rare snow white,
10:08possessing a natural aura of peace that calmed all the pack members around her.
10:13Mom held her, calling her the family's treasure.
10:17Not wanting to disappoint my parents,
10:19I stepped onto the awakening platform filled with anticipation.
10:22But when my wolf form appeared, everyone fell silent.
10:25My wolf was just an ordinary gray wolf.
10:28No special abilities.
10:30No rare coat color.
10:31So plain that I would be lost in a crowd of pack members.
10:34From that day on, I became the family's common one.
10:38Someone not worth investing resources in.
10:40Even after I achieved the highest academic honors,
10:43they still believed bloodline determined everything.
10:46Scott and Miranda enjoyed all the favoritism and resources.
10:49And I, like my wolf's bloodline, was ordinary, expendable.
10:53My spirit followed Miranda to the healer's clinic.
10:56Before long, my mate Ryan burst in.
10:59He rushed straight to Miranda's side,
11:01grabbing her hand and anxiously examining the red mark on her palm.
11:04How did this happen?
11:05What did the healer say?
11:06Ryan, don't be like this.
11:10It's not Chelsea's fault.
11:12She probably just wanted to surprise me
11:16and forgot for a moment that we werewolves can't touch silver.
11:22The more understanding she acted,
11:24the darker Ryan's face grew.
11:26Chelsea?
11:28Where is she hiding now?
11:30Miranda, don't be sad.
11:35I'll make sure to teach her a lesson for you.
11:37We hadn't completed our mate bond,
11:39so he couldn't sense my death,
11:40much less know that I was right beside him,
11:42watching him in silence.
11:44After leaving the clinic,
11:45Ryan called my phone.
11:46When it went unanswered,
11:48he left a message.
11:49Chelsea, how could you be so vicious?
11:51Using silver to harm your own sister?
11:52I always thought you were kind,
11:53but you'd do something like this out of jealousy.
11:55I was on my way to give you your award gift.
11:57It's a family heirloom,
11:58a pendant to congratulate you,
11:59but now you don't deserve it.
12:01Consider this your punishment.
12:03You'd better pray Miranda is okay.
12:05Otherwise,
12:06consider our mate bond ceremony canceled.
12:08I listened to his accusations,
12:10my heart too weary to even feel a thing.
12:13I should have known long ago.
12:14We'd fought over Miranda countless times.
12:17During hunting training,
12:18he only watched her agile moves.
12:20When I tripped,
12:20he just called me clumsy.
12:22At meals,
12:22he never recalled I couldn't eat spicy food,
12:25yet baked over 20 desserts just to please her.
12:28I argued with him about these things countless times.
12:31You're overthinking it.
12:31I just think of Miranda as a little sister.
12:33His coldness made me feel like a possessive lunatic,
12:36but I loved him deeply.
12:37I thought he was the moon goddess's gift.
12:40Mine alone.
12:41I was wrong.
12:42My parents loved Scott and Miranda for their bloodline.
12:44Why did Ryan love her?
12:46I didn't know.
12:47And now,
12:47I'd never have the chance to find out.
12:49Because now,
12:50whether I fell or was beaten,
12:52I would never feel pain yet.
12:54After midnight,
12:55dad, mom, and Scott finally returned home,
12:57exhausted.
12:58I floated in a corner of the living room
13:00and heard my mother sigh.
13:02It's a shame Ryan's bloodline isn't strong enough for Miranda.
13:05They'd be perfect together.
13:06Look how attentive he was at the clinic.
13:08Yes,
13:09Ryan is quite capable,
13:10and I think Miranda likes him too.
13:12It would be perfect if they were mates.
13:14But these things are guided by the moon goddess.
13:17Don't overthink it.
13:18Ryan's bloodline isn't worthy of our precious white wolf.
13:21It's better to let him be with Chelsea.
13:23Their gray wolf bloodlines are a better match.
13:26Even if he completes the mate bond with Chelsea,
13:28he can still dote on Miranda.
13:32Then looked up and noticed the house was dark.
13:34A faint, metallic smell hung in the air.
13:37Looks like the moonstones in the house have run out of energy.
13:39Scott, go to the basement and get a new one.
13:41Scott grunted in agreement and strode toward the basement.
13:44The closer he got, the stronger the metallic smell became.
13:48His wolf instincts made him frown,
13:50but he dismissed it as a dead rat in the house.
13:53What's that smell?
13:54Dad and mom followed him toward the basement door.
13:56Scott pushed it open.
13:57A thick, nauseating stench of blood and decay rushed out to meet them.
14:02In the darkness, a body lay in a pool of dried, blackened blood.
14:06Its eyes not fully closed.
14:08Scott stopped dead.
14:10Scott froze, my name a choked whisper on his lips.
14:13But dad was the first to react.
14:15His stunned expression twisted into a scowl.
14:18Chelsea!
14:20Are you out of your mind?
14:22Have you had enough of this?
14:23Pulling a stunt like this just for attention!
14:26Mom chimed in, her voice sharp.
14:28Get up.
14:28Do you have any idea how disgusting you look?
14:32You'd stoop to playing dead just to steal Miranda's spotlight?
14:35My spirit floated beside them,
14:37watching them yell at my cold corpse.
14:39They still didn't believe I was dead.
14:41They thought this was just my latest ploy for sympathy.
14:44Scott finally snapped out of his trance.
14:46He strode forward and kicked my arm impatiently with the toe of his boot.
14:50Stop acting! Get up!
14:52My body shifted slightly on the floor,
14:54but otherwise I was still.
14:55That sent him over the edge.
14:56Get up!
14:57Scott bellowed,
14:57and his next kick sent my body rolling over.
15:00The impact revealed the fatal wound on the back of my head,
15:04along with the countless bite marks scarring my neck.
15:06For the first time,
15:07I saw true panic on their faces.
15:09Panic for me.
15:10Her body.
15:11Mom's voice trembled.
15:12She was finally realizing something was terribly wrong.
15:15Why is it...
15:19so cold?
15:21Dad's expression finally shattered.
15:23A werewolf's body temperature is naturally higher than a human's.
15:26If I were faking it,
15:27my body couldn't possibly be this cold.
15:30It's stiff.
15:30Drop the block.
15:31Dad said,
15:32his voice raw.
15:33We blocked our pack link to Chelsea.
15:35Drop it now.
15:37Let's see if she can fake being alive.
15:40It was the only way to be sure if a werewolf was truly dead.
15:44Dad,
15:45Mom,
15:45and Scott closed their eyes,
15:47concentrating.
15:48Trying to find my faint light,
15:50concentrating.
15:51Trying to find my faint light within the pack's spiritual bond.
15:55One,
15:55two,
15:57three.
15:58Scott's eyes flew open first.
16:00All the color drained from his face.
16:02He staggered back a step.
16:04Dad went rigid,
16:06his lips starting to tremble uncontrollably.
16:11Mom's face,
16:12a mask of scorn and anger moments before,
16:14dissolved into pure terror.
16:16Where my life force should have been,
16:18there was only a cold,
16:20silent void.
16:21I watched their expressions,
16:23wondering if they could feel
16:24even a fraction of the pain I had endured.
16:26No,
16:27impossible.
16:30Chelsea.
16:32While my family home descended into chaos,
16:35Ryan was blissfully unaware that I was gone.
16:37He had gone back to the clinic to see Miranda again,
16:40my watching as he gently changed the bandage on her hand.
16:44Does it still hurt?
16:45Ryan's voice was softer than I'd heard it in a long,
16:48long time.
16:49Not anymore.
16:52Not when you're here.
16:54Chelsea went too far.
16:57When she finally shows,
16:59I swear I'll make her regret it.
17:04Don't blame Chelsea.
17:06She was probably just desperate for everyone's attention.
17:09The sight of her pain only tightened the knot of protectiveness in his chest.
17:13Miranda,
17:13you're too kind.
17:15She hurts you like this,
17:16and you still defend her.
17:25Chelsea has been so lonely her whole life.
17:29She just needs to be loved.
17:31What she needs is a lesson,
17:33not love.
17:35Selfish people like her only know how to hurt others.
17:40Look at your hand.
17:42Look what she did to you.
17:47Ryan, I'm scared.
17:49What if my sister hates me?
17:52She won't get the chance.
17:54I'll protect you.
17:56I won't let anyone hurt you.
18:00Including Chelsea.
18:05I floated nearby,
18:07listening to them paint me as a villain.
18:09They spoke of my viciousness,
18:10my selfishness,
18:11but who among them knew I was already a cold corpse?
18:14Ryan,
18:14Miranda said softly.
18:16There's something I've always wanted to tell you.
18:18What is it?
18:19I know you'll...
18:20differently about me.
18:21She said,
18:21her cheeks flushing.
18:22And I...
18:24Ryan was silent for a long moment.
18:25Miranda, we can't.
18:26Why not?
18:28Miranda looked up,
18:28her expression wounded.
18:29You don't love Chelsea.
18:31The entire family can see it.
18:32My ghostly form stilled.
18:34I didn't expect his answer.
18:36I don't love her.
18:38Do I?
18:39Ryan hesitated,
18:40then shook his head as if to clear it.
18:42Chelsea is my mate.
18:43We're supposed to have our mating ceremony soon.
18:46Then cancel it.
18:47Miranda said urgently.
18:48You said it yourself yesterday, didn't you?
18:50That if anything happened to me,
18:52you'd cancel it.
18:53No, Miranda, I can't.
18:54I only said that to teach her a lesson.
18:56Ryan lowered his head,
18:58avoiding her gaze.
18:59I've always thought of you as a little sister.
19:00My mate is Chelsea.
19:02It will only ever be Chelsea.
19:04Miranda stared at him in disbelief,
19:06fresh tears spilling from her eyes.
19:08My spirit hurt his confession,
19:10but my heart felt nothing.
19:11Ryan, I'm already dead.
19:13Your love is far too little
19:14and much too late.
19:16Ryan, I always knew Chelsea was more likable.
19:19I don't blame you.
19:20It's my fault for not being good enough.
19:23Miranda cried,
19:24clinging to him.
19:25Ryan hesitated,
19:26not pushing her away.
19:27Just then, his phone rang.
19:29It was Scott.
19:29That must be Chelsea.
19:31She's probably home.
19:32A flicker of relief in his eyes.
19:34Miranda, don't cry.
19:35I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind.
19:37He answered the phone,
19:38but it wasn't news of my return.
19:40It was-
19:40Ryan, Chelsea's dead.
19:42What the hell kind of mate were you?
19:43Ryan's eyes widened.
19:45Chelsea's dead?
19:46The phone slipped from his numb fingers
19:48and clattered to the floor.
19:50He finally understood.
19:51I wasn't throwing a tantrum.
19:53I wasn't fighting for attention.
19:55I was never coming back.
19:58Ryan sped home.
20:01Ryan sped home.
20:03Arriving to find Dad in my room,
20:05clutching my journal.
20:06He opened it to the first page,
20:08and his hands began to tremble.
20:10Seventeen.
20:11Tenth birthday.
20:12The whole family forgot.
20:13Only the housekeeper remembered
20:15and bought me a small cake.
20:17Twenty-three.
20:18Miranda got a paper cut.
20:20Mom and Dad stayed up all night with her.
20:22I had a broken bone
20:24and had to lie in bed alone.
20:28Thirty-two.
20:30I won first place in the Pax Science Fair.
20:34But Mom and Dad went to watch Miranda's hunting trials.
20:38Ninety-nine entries,
20:40from childhood until now.
20:42Every single one was dated,
20:44a detailed account of their neglect.
20:47The three of them huddled around the journal,
20:50tears streaming down their faces.
20:54Forty-five.
20:55At the Bloodline Awakening ceremony,
20:58I became the most common gray wolf.
21:00Dad was so disappointed,
21:01he turned and walked away
21:02without a single word of comfort.
21:06Forty-eight.
21:07Our anniversary.
21:08Ryan spent the day helping Miranda pick out a dress.
21:11Are we still going to have our mating ceremony?
21:13Moon Goddess, please show me the way.
21:17Fifty-two.
21:18Mom said it would be better
21:19if Miranda were their only daughter.
21:22It would be better
21:23if Miranda were their only daughter!
21:25Mom, it was my birthday.
21:27The last entry read,
21:28Once it hits ninety-nine,
21:29I'm done hoping for their love.
21:31It's probably going to hit ninety-nine tomorrow.
21:33They won't remember to come to my award ceremony.
21:35They only care that it's Miranda's graduation.
21:40What have we done?
21:46Mom slumped to the floor,
21:48sobbing hysterically.
21:49Chelsea, I'm sorry.
21:50I'm so sorry.
21:52Scott picked up the journal,
21:53his hands shaking as he flipped through the pages.
21:56Every number was a needle piercing his heart.
21:58We owe her so much.
22:00She remembered everything,
22:01and we just took it all for granted.
22:03Ryan stood frozen in the doorway,
22:05a silent witness to their grief.
22:07He remembered the past two years,
22:08how I had so cautiously tried to share
22:10my academic achievements with him.
22:12I had craved his attention,
22:14but he had always been distracted by something
22:16or someone else.
22:17I'll hold a funeral for her.
22:20The grandest funeral the pack has ever seen.
22:23I want the entire pack
22:25had lain to know that Chelsea
22:27was our most outstanding child.
22:29But it was too late.
22:30An apology can't bring the dead back to life.
22:32I was too tired to care.
22:33A week later,
22:34my funeral was held.
22:35All the werewolves who had missed me
22:37at the award ceremony
22:38came to pay their respect.
22:40They mourned me,
22:41calling me the pack's most brilliant researcher.
22:43But my family had never known that part of me.
22:45All they knew was a troublemaker
22:47who fought with Miranda for their affection.
22:49Ryan knelt before my grave all night.
22:51Chelsea, I was wrong.
22:53I was so wrong.
22:54I thought I didn't love you,
22:56but now I know I'm nothing without you.
22:59Come back, please!
23:01Yell at me!
23:02Hit me!
23:03Just come back!
23:04But I could never go back.
23:05Mom placed a platter of my favorite desserts
23:08in front of my headstone.
23:09She had finally remembered
23:10that I loved mango tart when I was little.
23:12But she remembered far, far too late.
23:14Dad and Scott knelt beside her,
23:16repeating my name like a prayer.
23:18They swore they would spend their lives
23:19atoning for their sins,
23:21but I didn't need their atonement anymore.
23:23The funeral was grand.
23:24Only Miranda wasn't there.
23:25She claimed she wasn't feeling well
23:27and couldn't come.
23:28In reality, she was at home,
23:30celebrating,
23:30celebrating that there was finally
23:32no one left to compete with her love.
23:36While sorting through my belongings,
23:38Dad found my moonstone.
23:41If a werewolf dies nearby,
23:43a dimmed moonstone will record
23:45their final memories.
23:47The realization hit him
23:48like a physical blow.
23:50He quickly called Mom and Scott over.
23:52Ryan followed them,
23:53a silent shadow.
23:54He said,
23:55his voice trembling.
23:56They're saved in here.
23:59We have to see what really happened that day.
24:06They gathered around the stone
24:07and placed their hands on it.
24:14It began to glow
24:17and an image of my final moments
24:19flickered to life.
24:21I was at home,
24:23getting ready to leave
24:24for my award ceremony
24:30when I heard a noise downstairs.
24:35Two strange rogues
24:36had broken in.
24:37She's here.
24:39Stick to the plan.
24:39One of the men spoke,
24:41dangling a keychain
24:42with Miranda's signature charm
24:43at it.
24:44You sure no one
24:45is going to come looking for her?
24:49Relax.
24:50The whole family's
24:51at the little sister's party.
24:53No one gives a damn
24:54about this one.
24:55Miranda said
24:56if we just rough her up
24:57and take a few pictures,
24:58remember,
24:59don't actually kill her.
25:01Just ruin her reputation.
25:03In the vision,
25:04I backed away.
25:05My face etched with terror.
25:07Who are you?
25:08Why are you doing this to me?
25:10Don't be scared,
25:11little wolf.
25:12It'll be over soon.
