Short filmTranscript
00:00I died on my 16th birthday.
00:04A rogue was choking the life out of me behind the baseball field,
00:08while my parents cheered for my sister's home run 200 yards away.
00:12The storm came out of nowhere.
00:15I was crouched in a shadowed corner behind the baseball field.
00:20My wrists were tied so tight that the rope had shredded my skin.
00:25Blood trickled down my palms.
00:28A rogue Lucas walker stood in front of me.
00:31One hand pressed a knife to my throat.
00:34The other held my phone to my ear.
00:37Dad, please. I've been kidnapped.
00:41On the other end, silence.
00:44Then my mom's impatient voice.
00:47Are you serious? Your father is the alpha of the Ashwood Pack.
00:51Who would dare kidnap you?
00:52Mom, I swear I'm not lying.
00:55The crowd roared in the background.
00:58The crack of a bat.
00:59Grace was playing.
01:02Elena, I know you're jealous of your sister.
01:05But faking a kidnap just to steal attention and ruin her big day?
01:09Okay.
01:10You're even worse than I thought.
01:12Mom, please.
01:14No.
01:14He's going to kill me.
01:17Please.
01:18Please come help me.
01:22That's enough.
01:23I'm turning off my phone.
01:25Nothing matters more than Grace's game.
01:28My father's cold voice.
01:30The lie went dead.
01:32Lucas laughed.
01:33Low.
01:34Cruel.
01:35Guess I grabbed the wrong daughter.
01:37Who would have thought Alpha Samuel would put his adopted lowborn girl before his own blood?
01:45He did hit a point.
01:47My parents always put Grace.
01:48The child of a servant who passed away before me.
01:52Their own blood.
01:54Four hours earlier, I was mopping the floor.
01:57My job.
01:59Scrubbing the tiles my bare feet had walked across since I was a kid.
02:04Upstairs, I could hear them laughing.
02:06Mom, I'm winning today.
02:08No question.
02:11Of course you will.
02:13You're not Elena.
02:15When you are after something, you always get it.
02:20I stopped mopping.
02:22I stared at the floor.
02:24At my reflection in the wet tile.
02:27Pale.
02:28Tired.
02:29Invisible.
02:31They came down the stairs.
02:33All three of them.
02:35Grace in her brand new athletic outfit.
02:38My mother in designer clothes.
02:41My father in a tailored jacket.
02:44They looked like a family.
02:46And then there was me.
02:49You'll mop the entire house.
02:51Then do the laundry.
02:53That's what you get for stealing Grace's clothes.
02:57I opened my mouth.
02:59Closed it.
03:00I didn't steal anything.
03:02Yes, mom.
03:03My father barely looked at me.
03:06When you're done, go to the game.
03:09This game is very important to Grace.
03:11As her family, we'll all be there to support her.
03:16Grace paused at the door.
03:18Looked back at me.
03:20Smiled.
03:21Then she was gone.
03:23The door shut.
03:24I gripped the mop handle.
03:26Stared at the empty doorway.
03:31If we're a family, why do you only care about Grace's game?
03:35And couldn't remember today's my 16th birthday?
03:39I finished the house by noon.
03:41Then the laundry.
03:42Then the dishes.
03:44Then I stood in the kitchen, alone, and realized no one had remembered my birthday.
03:49I found the cake in the back of the fridge.
03:52Expired.
03:53Someone had forgotten it.
03:55Just like they forgot me.
03:56I found a lighter in the trash.
03:58I carried everything to the empty lot behind the baseball field.
04:02A quiet corner where no one would see me.
04:05I set the cake down.
04:06Lit the candle.
04:08Happy 16th birthday, Elena.
04:10I closed my eyes.
04:12Made a wish.
04:13I wish mom and dad would pay more attention to me.
04:16Trust me more.
04:17Love me more.
04:18I blew out the candle.
04:22Footsteps.
04:23I opened my eyes.
04:25A pair of worn shoes stood in front of me and crashed my cake.
04:30I looked up.
04:32The man was tall.
04:33Gaunt.
04:34His eyes glowed faintly well.
04:35On his forehead, a branded scar.
04:38The mark of a rogue.
04:41Are you?
04:43My name is Lucas Walker.
04:46Ten years ago, your father gave me this scar.
04:49Banished me.
04:50And made me a rogue.
04:53Behind him.
04:54Something flickered.
04:56A massive, wolf-like shape.
04:59Made of shadow.
05:01I tried to run.
05:02He grabbed me by the collar.
05:04And slammed me against the wall.
05:06My neckline shifted.
05:08The heart-shaped birthmark on my collarbone was exposed.
05:12Lucas looked at my birthmark and smiled coolly.
05:17The knife was cold against my throat.
05:20Lucas held the phone to my ear.
05:23Let me listen.
05:25The number you have dialed is not in service.
05:28Please check the number and try again.
05:34Then the beep.
05:36Lucas' laugh.
05:38They actually turned it off.
05:40Your own parents.
05:44Guess I really did grab the wrong daughter.
05:47I couldn't breathe.
05:49Couldn't think.
05:50Couldn't do anything except tremble and cry.
05:53Please, I thought.
05:55Please, someone come.
05:57But no one came.
05:58If your father isn't coming, then you shall die for him.
06:06He raised the knife.
06:15The blade hit the wall, dot an inch from my head.
06:18Lucas looked around, dot at the empty corner.
06:21On second thought, killing you right away seems dull.
06:24He turned his head back and howled.
06:26His bones cracked.
06:27Hands became razor-sharp wolf claws.
06:29Black mist curled from his palm.
06:31His eyes went pitch black.
06:34Something unnatural.
06:36Corrupted.
06:37Do you have any idea how I survived those ten years?
06:40I sold my soul to a dark witch.
06:42I'm the monster your father created.
06:44And since he's not coming,
06:47you'll have to do.
06:49The black mist poured into my skin.
06:52Poison.
06:54Fire.
06:55Ice.
06:56All at once.
06:58I screamed.
07:00Thunder exploded overhead.
07:01Lightning flashed dot.
07:03And somewhere far away,
07:04the crowd cheered.
07:05Grace hit a homeland.
07:08They found my body three days later,
07:10right at the front door of our house.
07:12While my parents were throwing a party to celebrate Grace's victory in the baseball game,
07:18Lucas put my body at the door.
07:20A final, sick joke for my parents to stumble upon.
07:24My body was wrapped in a torn blanket.
07:27Thought blood dashed soaked.
07:29Thought the stench was unbearable.
07:31A pack member spalled to me and rushed toward the house in a panic.
07:35Before long, my alpha father and Luna mother came to the body.
07:39One of the pack members put the blanket back.
07:41Then he fell to the ground and slew up.
07:44My face was gone, mutilated beyond recognition.
07:47My left arm severed.
07:48My neck blackened.
07:50My skin gray and decayed.
07:52The only thing intact was the heart-shaped birthmark on my collarbone.
07:55My parents stabbed closer and examined the body.
07:59Not a single patch of intact skin.
08:02Only the birthmark remains untouched.
08:04Whoever her parents are, this will destroy them.
08:07That's my birthmark!
08:08Do you not recognize it?
08:10My mother knelt beside my body.
08:12Her hands glowed with healing energy.
08:14She released it into the corpse.
08:16The light vanished.
08:17She was attacked by something deeply corrupted.
08:21Dark magic.
08:23It's beyond even me.
08:25Those careless parents are you.
08:27How can you not recognize me?
08:29Lucas thumped my body at our door.
08:32And you still can't tell.
08:34No one heard me.
08:35No one reacted.
08:36Of course.
08:38I'm already dead.
08:39My father crashed down.
08:41Put on gloves.
08:42Reached for my wrist.
08:43Removed my bracelet.
08:44The one I wore every day for three years.
08:47Finally, you'll realize it's me.
08:49Right?
08:50Look.
08:52This could be important.
08:53My mom Lingdian.
08:55The victim's initials.
08:56H and S.
08:57No.
08:58Those are your initials.
08:59I screamed at the top of my lungs.
09:02It's Hopper and Samuel.
09:04Mom.
09:04I made this for you when I was 13.
09:07And gave it to you on mom's day.
09:08Only you threw it in the trash.
09:11Just because Grace falsely accused me
09:13of stealing her allowance.
09:15Still, no one heard me.
09:18My father sealed the bracelet
09:20in an evidence bag.
09:22Run a DNA test.
09:24Uncle Daniel stepped forward.
09:26Samuel.
09:27Your kids, they're safe, right?
09:29Relax.
09:30Liam's at school.
09:31Grace is inside.
09:33Elena?
09:36Elena's fine.
09:37Probably wasting time somewhere.
09:39I don't know what to do with that one.
09:41I stood three feet away.
09:42I'm not fine.
09:44Mom.
09:45I'm dead.
09:46I've been dead for three days.
09:47And you didn't notice.
09:49Forgive me, Alpha, but I have to say,
09:51I think Elena's a good kid.
09:53It doesn't matter, Uncle Daniel.
09:55They'll never see it.
09:56You're seeing what she wants you to see.
09:58Elena is a natural liar.
09:59She's 16 and still hasn't awakened her wolf.
10:02She envies Grace for it.
10:03She's jealous of Grace's popularity.
10:05I haven't awakened my wolf because I barely eat.
10:08Mom.
10:08Because I'm treated like a servant.
10:11Because no one in this family has ever believed I'm worth anything.
10:15The front door creaked open.
10:17Grace peeked out.
10:19Mom?
10:20My mom's expression softened instantly.
10:24Sweetheart, go back inside.
10:26It's not safe.
10:27Grace hesitated.
10:29Okay, Mom.
10:30I just wanted to ask.
10:32There's a coding tournament tomorrow.
10:33Elena signed up, but no one can reach her.
10:35Can I take her place?
10:36My hands curled into fists.
10:38I spent months preparing for that.
10:41And now, you're going to take it from me, too.
10:44Of course you can.
10:45You're the best, darling.
10:47If Elena is just throwing away an opportunity like that, then you should take it.
10:51Grace smiled.
10:53Stepped into my mom's arms.
10:55Thank you, Mom.
10:56My mom held her close.
10:58Stroked her hair.
10:59Full of warmth and love.
11:01The same love she'd never once shown me.
11:04Mom, I've never thrown that opportunity away.
11:08I was going to show up and do my best and make you proud.
11:12But I'm dead.
11:14I can't hold on to anything anymore.
11:16My brother called Liam, the only one who remembered.
11:21Mom, do you know where Elena is?
11:22Her birthday was three days ago.
11:24My mom's face shifted.
11:29Right.
11:30It was her birthday.
11:32Don't tell me you forgot again.
11:33Grace looked at my mom with guilty eyes.
11:36Mom, this is my fault.
11:37If it weren't for my game, you wouldn't have forgotten.
11:40Elena must be so angry with me.
11:42No, sweetheart.
11:44This isn't your fault.
11:47Then she turned back to the phone.
11:49Yes, we forgot.
11:50So what?
11:51Three days ago was Grace's game.
11:54That came first.
11:55If Elena ran away over that, it's on her.
12:00She could die out there for all I care.
12:03She hung up.
12:03I stared at her.
12:05Then you got your wish, mom.
12:06My body is laying cold in your front yard.
12:09My mom said,
12:10Go back inside, sweetheart.
12:12It's not safe out here.
12:14Grace headed inside.
12:16My mom turned to my body again.
12:18This kind of dark magic usually tend to leave a mark inside the body.
12:22Bring me my silver knives.
12:24I'll extract her lunar cores and examine the remains myself.
12:27My body was pushed into a surgery room.
12:30With white gloves on, my mom was ready to take out the lunar core.
12:34She removed my upper clothing and gently adjusted my hair.
12:38Then her gaze drifted and stopped at my birthmark.
12:42My mother went still.
12:43Why does this birthmark feel so familiar?
12:47But her doubts only last for a second.
12:50She exhales and shakes her head.
12:54Forget about it.
12:55I'm just tired.
12:56Of course, she couldn't possibly recognize me.
13:00She calmly drove the blade into my skin and extracted my lunar core,
13:05stained with blood and still a glow.
13:08Mom, if you realize that the lunar core you're holding is mine,
13:13would you still be so calm?
13:14When she finished it and left the surgery room,
13:17my dad was waiting in the corridor
13:19and talking about how desperate the victim must be with Uncle Daniel.
13:23Time to go home.
13:25Grace must be scared alone at home.
13:28My father nodded.
13:30A subordinate rushed toward them,
13:32breathless and shaking,
13:34clutching a report.
13:35Couldn't look at my parents.
13:37Alpha, the DNA results are back.
13:39The victim is Elena Moore, your daughter.
13:44That's impossible!
13:46I ran the comparison three times.
13:48There's no mistake, Alpha.
13:50No, it can't be.
13:52My mother pulled out her phone,
13:54dialed my number.
13:55Pick up, come on, pick up.
13:57Don't do this to me, Elena.
14:00Mom faced reality.
14:02I can never pick up your calls again.
14:04The phone kept ringing.
14:07No one answered.
14:08My mother's face crumbled.
14:09She called us at the game,
14:11said she'd been kidnapped,
14:13begged us to save her.
14:15Her voice cracked.
14:18So she was telling the truth?
14:21We hung up on her.
14:23Turned the phone off.
14:24My father's face went gray.
14:26My mother staggered backward,
14:28collapsed to the ground.
14:30I didn't even recognize my own daughter!
14:32I cut into her body with my own hands!
14:35My father caught her,
14:38held her,
14:39tears falling.
14:41So she called you for help,
14:42and you ignored her?
14:44How could you do that?
14:46My mom couldn't stop crying.
14:49We thought she was lying.
14:51Elena always lied.
14:52She was always jealous of Grace.
14:54I wasn't lying.
14:56Not that time.
14:57Not any of the times you blamed me.
15:00But you never believed me.
15:02Then you said,
15:03How did you not recognize your own daughter?
15:05My father frowned.
15:07Wait!
15:07The bracelet.
15:09The victim's bracelet
15:10has H and S encrazed on it.
15:12That must be her initials.
15:14It can't be Elena.
15:17He pulled out his phone,
15:19showed the photo.
15:20See?
15:21The victim's name starts with H and S.
15:24There's been a mistake.
15:25My mother's eyes lit up,
15:27desperate.
15:28Yes.
15:31There's been a mistake.
15:33I watched them.
15:35No.
15:36There's no mistake.
15:37That bracelet is mine.
15:40You threw it away,
15:41and now you're using it
15:43to deceive yourselves,
15:44pretending I'm not dead.
15:46Liam came home an hour later,
15:48got his face pale,
15:49his eyes red.
15:51Elena,
15:52is she really dead?
15:55No.
15:56Look,
15:57the bracelet.
15:58This was found on the body.
16:00The engraving H and S.
16:02Those must be the victim's initials.
16:04It can't be Elena.
16:07That is Elena's bracelet.
16:11Don't you remember?
16:13H and S stand for your names.
16:16Harper and Samuel.
16:19How can you not recognize something
16:21that belonged to your own daughter?
16:24So the news is true.
16:26She called you.
16:28She begged you for help.
16:29And you ignored her.
16:33You're the reason she's dead.
16:35Liam collapsed onto the sofa,
16:37buried his face in his hands.
16:40Elena,
16:41my little sister,
16:43what did they do to you?
16:45I moved to him,
16:47wrapped my arms around him,
16:49pressed my lips to his hair.
16:51I'm here.
16:52I'm right here.
16:53But he can't feel me.
16:55My parents broke too.
16:57It was me.
16:58I failed my own daughter.
17:01Just thinking about what she went through
17:04on her birthday.
17:06Elena,
17:07I was wrong.
17:09I was so wrong.
17:10I watched them.
17:12So you can admit it in the end.
17:15But it's too late.
17:16I don't understand you.
17:18Elena is your daughter.
17:19Your blood.
17:20Grace is the child of a servant
17:21who passed away.
17:22Why have you always treated Elena
17:23like she didn't matter?
17:24Elena lies.
17:25She steals.
17:26What were we supposed to think?
17:27We were disappointed.
17:28Steals?
17:30What did she ever steal?
17:31That dress she's wearing.
17:33Elena tried to take it before.
17:35We caught her.
17:35Liam turned to Grace.
17:37His voice went cold.
17:39You think she tried to steal that dress?
17:41I bought that dress for Elena.
17:43Grace freezes.
17:45My parents are shocked.
17:46The room went silent.
17:48What did he just say?
17:51Go on.
17:52Explain.
17:53I recognized that dress
17:54the moment I walked in.
17:56I bought it for Elena.
17:57So how did it end up on you?
17:58And how exactly did you twist that
18:00into her stealing from you?
18:01Grace's face went pale.
18:03I...
18:04I was just jealous.
18:06Liam always treated Elena so well
18:09and I...
18:10My mother stood up
18:12and slapped her.
18:13The sound echoed through the room.
18:16We trusted you
18:18all these years
18:19and you were framing her?
18:22We raised you.
18:24Gave you everything.
18:26Treated you like our own
18:27and this is how you repay us?
18:28By scheming against Elena?
18:31So you finally see it?
18:33No matter how good you were to me
18:35I was always expendable.
18:37Elena is your real daughter.
18:39Your blood.
18:41I'm just a servant's child.
18:44If I didn't fight for my place
18:45I'd have nothing.
18:46From this moment on
18:47you are no longer part of this family.
18:51Grace ran out.
18:54The doors slammed.
18:57I stood there.
18:58A cold smile on my ghost lips.
19:01Finally, the truth.
19:02But it doesn't bring me back.
19:05That night
19:06my mom came to my room.
19:08She sat at my desk
19:09picked up my photo
19:11traced my face.
19:13Elena, I miss you.
19:14A tear slid down her cheek.
19:16I dreamed about you.
19:18You were asking me
19:19why I didn't come to save you.
19:21She opened my diary.
19:22I cleaned the entire house again today.
19:25In this home
19:26I live like a servant.
19:28Her eyes tightened.
19:29She turned the page.
19:31Dad says I'm a liar.
19:33Mom says giving birth to me
19:35was her greatest mistake.
19:37Maybe Grace is right.
19:39Maybe she's the real daughter
19:40and I'm just extra.
19:43A tear fell onto the page.
19:45Her hand shook.
19:46No, that's not true.
19:48You are my daughter.
19:49She flipped through the notebook.
19:51Faster.
19:52Desperate.
19:53Then opened a drawer.
19:54Pulled out older journals.
19:55A folded sheet slipped out.
19:57She picked it up.
19:58A design sketch.
19:59A bracelet.
20:01At its center.
20:02The intertwined letters
20:03H and S.
20:05She covered her mouth.
20:06Tears spill over.
20:08Unstoppable.
20:08As she remembers everything.
20:10I stood beside her.
20:12I stood beside her.
20:13Emotions tangled.
20:14And unreadable.
20:15You see it now mom.
