My Family Locked Me Away.Then The Freeze Really Came

🎥
Short filmTranscript
00:00I wandered for 20 years. After reuniting with my birth parents, they only wanted me dead.
00:06They lured me into a bunker, thinking they could trap me forever.
00:10But they didn't know. The frozen apocalypse is real. They're the ones who will freeze to death.
00:15I saw a post on Reddit today. Our real daughter found us.
00:19But we love our adopted daughter more. We don't want her in our lives.
00:23She only wants our money. How can we get rid of her forever?
00:26I am a reborn person. I know the frozen apocalypse starts in three days.
00:30I felt sorry for the real daughter, so I left a comment.
00:33Tell her the world is ending in three days. Lock her in a bunker with three years of food.
00:38The poster liked my comment.
00:40The next day, I went to my parents' villa. I was about to warn them, but they grabbed my hands
00:45first.
00:45Joy, the frozen apocalypse is coming.
00:49We are sending you to a bunker to stay safe. I was shocked. I thought of the post. I asked,
00:54Mom, Dad, how do you know? They looked serious.
00:58Joy, we were reborn. It sounds crazy.
01:01But the world ends in three days.
01:03I felt relieved. I thought they were reborn too. But then, I felt something was wrong.
01:08It was too similar to the Reddit post. I tested them again.
01:11Let's stay here and turn the villa into a fort. My dad cut me off immediately.
01:15No, we must stay to help the government. We will use this house to help refugees.
01:18I felt a chill. A real survivor would never help others first. They would only care about staying alive.
01:24I tried one last test. Where is your adopted daughter, Mia? I will take her to the bunker with me.
01:29No!
01:30My mom cleared her throat. Mia is very weak. She needs us to care for her.
01:35My dad nodded quickly. You are our real daughter. We want you to live.
01:40My heart sank. If I took Mia, their plan would fail. Now, I am 100% sure. My parents are
01:46not reborn.
01:47They are the people who wrote that post. I forced a smile and nodded.
01:50Okay, I will go to the bunker alone. They looked so relieved. They were happy.
01:55I need one day to buy supplies. I will go to the bunker the day after tomorrow. They agreed quickly.
02:00That night, I checked the Reddit post again. The poster wrote,
02:03The plan is working! She's going to the bunker in two days!
02:06The comments were laughing. She actually believes the world is ending.
02:10You guys are so mean. Poor girl. My parents replied coldly.
02:14Poor? She's a beggar from a small town. She only wants our fortune.
02:18She should be grateful she has a bunker to live in. I stared at the screen and smiled.
02:23They hate me. They want to lock me away forever. They built a cage for me.
02:27But they have no idea. The frozen apocalypse is actually coming.
02:31The next morning, Dad spoke to me.
02:33Joy, the bunker is ready for you. It's hidden and safe. We will get you when the government is done.
02:39I pretended to agree and nodded. I have too many supplies to move. I need help organizing everything.
02:44Mia ran out looking very annoyed.
02:46Do it yourself! You're so annoying!
02:48She clearly knows the truth too.
02:50I ignored her and spoke to my parents.
02:52Fine. I'll hire some outside help. I'll just spend more of your money.
02:56My parents panicked immediately. They don't want me talking to outsiders. They are afraid of a scandal.
03:01No, don't hire anyone!
03:03Dad said.
03:03Family should do it. It's safer.
03:05This was exactly what I wanted. I spent the whole day bossing them around.
03:08Dad, get the truck. Buy steel and comment. Reinforce all the bunker walls right now.
03:13Mom, go buy military MEDs and tuna cans. Get tons of bottled water too.
03:18Mia, buy polar coats and sleeping bags. They must be the warmest ones available.
03:21They hated every second of it. But they wanted me gone so they obeyed.
03:25They drove three trucks back and forth. They were sweating and exhausted all day.
03:30I just watched them and didn't help. I made them build my fortress for me.
03:33When the freeze comes, I will be safe inside. And they will be locked out.
03:37At night, Dad finished the iron door. The light at the entrance was fading.
03:42He patted the heavy metal door and smiled.
03:44There. No one can get in or out. There's just a small hole to drop off food.
03:49I looked around at my mountain of supplies. The bunker was packed with food and water.
03:54There were coats, bags and generators. There was fuel and plenty of medicine.
03:58I have enough to survive for three years. Mom spoke to me without much care.
04:02The freeze might last a lifetime. If we can't come, we'll send someone with food.
04:05Let's just leave. This place is gross.
04:08The three of them turned to walk away. Suddenly, white flakes fell from the sky.
04:12It started slow, then turned into a heavy blizzard. Mia screamed in shock.
04:17Snow? In Portland? In this season?
04:22My parents froze, looking very confused. I turned around with a light step.
04:26The snow has arrived in Portland. The freeze couldn't be far behind.
04:31When I was leaving, Dad smashed my phone on purpose to cut me off from the outside.
04:36But I had a backup phone hidden in my bag. I turned it on. A warning from the National Weather
04:41Service.
04:42Temperatures will drop sharply in 24 hours. Parts of Portland could hit minus 15 Fahrenheit.
04:48Residents should prepare now.
04:49Then I checked that post again. The OP was now writing as Mia.
04:53My dumb sister really believes the end is coming.
04:55She went to the bunker like a good girl. So easy to feel. Now she's out of the way.
05:00It's just the three of us now. Mom and Dad really love me. Some comments laughed at me. Some said
05:05they felt bad for me.
05:06Mia saw the nice comments. She fired back. She should have known better.
05:10My parents never went looking for her. She still showed up shamelessly. She deserved it.
05:15Someone else commented.
05:16Portland is getting so much snow. What if the freeze really is coming?
05:19Mia snapped back. You're as dumb as she is. Maybe I'll lock you both in there.
05:24I closed the app. I turned and walked to a small hidden hole. Deep in the bunker. One I had
05:29left on purpose.
05:30It was just big enough for someone to slip through. After I was reborn, I first made sure my adoptive
05:36parents were ready.
05:37Then I left for Portland to find my birth parents. But my birth parents built this bunker themselves.
05:42It was stocked with supplies. Bringing my adoptive parents here was the safest choice.
05:47When I got to their house, they were surprised. They pulled me inside.
05:51Joy, why are you back? Weren't your birth parents good to you?
05:55Mom, Dad, I'm here to take you somewhere safe.
05:57I kept it short. I didn't want to scare them. I just said I was taking them to a shelter.
06:02They packed a few clothes and came with me. By the time we headed to the bunker, the sky was
06:07already dark.
06:08Just as we got close, I spotted someone nearby. I quickly pulled my parents into the bushes.
06:13I looked closer. It was Mia. My heart jumped. What was she doing here?
06:17Did she see the snow and start to think the freeze was real?
06:21I took my adoptive parents around the back. We crawled into the bunker.
06:25I whispered, Mom, Dad, stay here. I'll go check things out. Keep quiet.
06:29Just as I walked toward the entrance, my phone buzzed. It was an update on that post.
06:35I opened it and understood right away. The comments were full of people pushing her.
06:39This is boring. You have to tell her the truth. Tell her the end of the world was a lie.
06:44Yeah, you need to see her break down and cry. That's the fun part. Don't let her sit in that
06:49bunker forever.
06:50She needs to know how dumb she is. Believing the freeze was coming. What a joke.
06:54I smiled coldly and put my phone away. I walked straight to the entrance. As I got close, I heard
07:01Mia's annoyed voice outside.
07:02Joy, you dead in there? I answered coldly. What do you want?
07:07My voice surprised her. She jumped. Then she scoffed. Joy, I'm here to tell you the truth. There is no
07:13freeze.
07:13Me and Mom and Dad made it all up. We found that bunker on purpose. It's a cage. We wanted
07:18you trapped in there forever.
07:20So you could never bother us again. She thought I would cry. She thought I would beg. But I was
07:25calm. I know.
07:27Mia didn't believe me. Please. How could you know? The freeze is real. It's coming tonight at midnight.
07:34Mia laughed like I told the best joke. Joy, you are such an idiot. You small town girl. So innocent.
07:40I told you it was a lie and you still believe it. Mom and Dad wasted their time building that
07:45cage for you.
07:46For a fool like you, if I told you to go die right now, you wouldn't even wait a second.
07:50She laughed again and walked away. Mia, I told you the truth. You didn't believe me. That's on you.
07:57My adoptive parents and I put on thick arctic parkas. Mom, Dad, the freeze hits at midnight.
08:02There will be heavy hail. Don't be scared. We're safe here. They held my hand. Their eyes were steady.
08:08We don't care what happens. As long as we're together, we're not afraid of anything.
08:13Back at the house, Mia went live on TikTok.
08:17The idiot actually told me tonight at midnight the freeze is coming. She's so brainwashed by Mom and Dad.
08:24This time, no one in the comments felt bad for me. It was all mockery.
08:28Haha, she's already hallucinating in there. Go see her tomorrow morning. She'll be crying and begging you then, Mia replied
08:36smugly.
08:37Tomorrow, I'll show her the comments. Let her see how dumb she is.
08:40Come on. Let me count down for my idiot sister. It's 11 59. One minute left.
08:47I watched Mia laugh like a maniac on her live stream. I watched the viewers join in.
08:53My smile turned cold. My heart pounded faster and faster. The freeze was finally coming. The last 10 seconds. The
09:02comments started counting down.
09:0310, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The countdown stopped. The comments went quiet. I held my
09:15breath and listened. 10 seconds passed. No hail. Nothing. Everything was normal.
09:2130 seconds later, the comments exploded again.
09:24That's hilarious. Where's the end of the world she promised? It didn't show.
09:28She must be crazy. She was so sure about the time. Now she looks so stupid.
09:32There's no freeze. She's a complete idiot. Now she finally knows it. She can rot in that bunker forever.
09:38Inside the bunker, my adoptive parents heard nothing. They held my hand, nervous.
09:43Joy, what's going on? You said midnight. The end of the world, it didn't come.
09:50I didn't say anything. I just listened closely to what was happening outside. One minute passed. Two minutes. Five minutes.
09:58Nothing was wrong out there.
10:00Mia's live stream kept getting more popular. More and more people came in to make fun of me.
10:05I can't breathe. Midnight is long gone. Where's the end of the world? Did it blow away or melt in
10:11the sun?
10:12This person must be crazy. She was so sure about midnight. Now she looks like a total fool.
10:18Mia started mocking me without holding back. See? What did I say? There's no damn end to the world.
10:23That idiot is just brainwashed by mom and dad. If I knew she was this easy to fool, I wouldn't
10:27have bothered buying all those coats and meds.
10:29I could have just made up some lie about debt and she'd believe it.
10:32A bunch of people joined in. They called me a country girl. A fool who dreamed too big.
10:37My adoptive parents were scared. Their voices shook.
10:40Joy, what's going on? Did you get the time wrong? Is it really tonight?
10:45Mom, dad, I can't be wrong. It's tonight. Midnight.
10:50But I even started to doubt. Maybe because I was reborn, the timeline changed. Something was off.
10:56Then I heard it. A loud bang came from outside the bunker.
11:11Then came a loud crackling sound. Like hard things hitting the iron door. My heart jumped.
11:16I went to the door and listened. I turned and grabbed my parents' hands.
11:20Mom, dad, the freeze is here. It's hail. Big hail is falling.
11:25They tensed up too. They listened. It was the sound of hail. Their eyes went wide.
11:30The freeze was real? I almost laughed. They still thought I was imagining things.
11:35The hail got louder. I heard rocks sliding down the hill. I pulled my parents back inside.
11:40I turned on the diesel heater. Outside, the temperature dropped fast.
11:44Inside, it was warm. It didn't affect us at all. I opened Mia's livestream again.
11:49The mocking was gone. Now people were screaming in panic.
11:57Help! Hail is really falling. Hail the size of fists. The glass on my balcony is all smashed.
12:01Help! I was getting my package downstairs. I saw two people get hit in the head. Blood was everywhere. They
12:06just fell and didn't move.
12:07Oh my god. This isn't normal hail. Is the freeze really coming?
12:10Mia was still trying. No way! It can't be the end of the world. It's just hail. It'll pass in
12:15a few hours. Don't all get as dumb as joy!
12:18Someone posted a video online. In it, fist-sized hail was falling hard. Cars were dented. Branches were breaking.
12:26People ran in the snow in heavy coats. Under the video, everyone cursed Mia.
12:31Still talking tough after all this? Are you blind? Wait till you freeze like a dog. Then you'll know if
12:36it's real.
12:36Mia tried to fight back. But soon, she couldn't act tough anymore.
12:45In just 10 minutes, the temperature dropped to minus 50 Fahrenheit. I opened my phone. CNN was already reporting the
12:54freeze.
12:54On the news, Portland was frozen. A wasteland. Stores were empty. Temperatures across the US were below minus 50. Water
13:02and heat were gone. Everything was in short supply. The country was in a state of emergency. My adoptive parents
13:09tore up. They held my hand tight.
13:11Thank god you brought us here. Otherwise, we…
13:14I patted their hands.
13:15Don't worry. We're safe here.
13:18Mia's livestream and her posts were now the most popular thing online. Everyone was mad at her.
13:23The people who made fun of me now turned on her. They cursed my birth family. They blamed them for
13:28everything.
13:29You got what you deserved. You called your daughter an idiot. Now you see she wasn't lying. The freeze is
13:35real.
13:35A family with no heart. To get rid of your own daughter, you made up a lie and locked her
13:39in a bunker. Now the end is here. That's what you get.
13:43Mia was furious.
13:44None of your business. So what if she knew? She's still an idiot locked in a bunker. We have money
13:50and a house. We're doing way better than her.
13:52But no one believed her. I live near your house. I saw your windows smash. Your heat is gone too,
13:57right? Now you're worried?
13:58What good is money or a house? You can't buy food now. Good luck starving.
14:07Two days have passed. The freeze got worse. Temperatures kept dropping. Everyone was scared. Mia went live again.
14:13Does anyone in Portland want to help? We don't have much food left. Our heat is gone. Can someone bring
14:19us food and supplies? Please. We'll pay.
14:22The comments were all hate. No one offered to help.
14:25Who would go out in this cold to help you? You get what you deserve.
14:29Why don't you go ask your daughter for food? She has three years of supplies. Maybe she'll be nice and
14:34give you some.
14:35Someone hit Mia where it hurt.
14:36It's funny. If you hadn't gone to mess with her, maybe she'd let you in the bunker. Now? Don't even
14:42think about it. You burned that bridge yourself.
14:45Mia read the comments. She was mad but couldn't do anything. Me and my adoptive parents were safe and happy
14:51in the bunker.
14:51We used the generator for power and heat. We ate warm tuna and MREs. One morning we were eating breakfast.
14:58Then I heard banging on the bunker door.
15:01Mia and my birth parents were yelling. Joy! Get out here! Open up!
15:05Joy, we're your parents! Let us in! You ungrateful brat! Are you just gonna let us freeze and starve?
15:10I went to the door and looked out.
15:16Mia and my birth parents were bundled up. But their faces were pale. Their lips were blue. Their hair and
15:22eyebrows were covered in frost.
15:24They walked a long way to get here. Why should I let you in? I said through the door.
15:29Because we're your parents! We gave you life! You have to take care of us! It's freezing out here! Let
15:37us in or we'll die!
15:38Joy, don't be a bitch! Open up! There's enough supplies for all five of us! If you don't open up,
15:43I'll get people to tear this bunker down!
15:45I laughed.
15:45Get people? You think anyone will risk their life to help you in this weather?
15:49Mia had no answer. My birth mom changed her tone.
15:52Joy, I know I was wrong. I'm sorry we lied to you. Please forgive us. Let us in. We'll make
15:58it up to you. We'll give you everything we have, okay?
16:00Everything you have? The world is over. What good is your stuff and I don't want it?
16:05I paused and said each word slowly. And you think putting me in this bunker was your idea?
16:13Mia and my birth parents froze. I kept going. You were the ones who posted on Reddit, asking how to
16:19get rid of your daughter.
16:20And the one who gave you the idea? To lie and say the freeze was coming? That was me.
16:25What?
16:26Their faces changed. They couldn't believe it.
16:28No way! It couldn't be you!
16:30I laughed at them. I never thought the person posting would be my own parents.
16:35I felt bad for that daughter. I wanted her to have a safe place. Turns out I was that daughter.
16:41Isn't that funny?
16:42My birth dad pulled a crowbar from his bag.
16:44You little snake! You tricked us! I'm breaking this door down! I'll drag you out and let you freeze!
16:55I wasn't scared. They built this door the way I told them. Thick steel and concrete. A crowbar wouldn't do
17:00anything.
17:01Even a cutting tool would take forever. He hit the door a few times. Then he was out of breath.
17:05They walked so far already. They were tired and frozen. Their bodies were giving out.
17:10Soon he collapsed in the snow, gasping for air. My birth mom and Mia weren't much better.
17:15They leaned on the wall, shaking. They could barely stand.
17:18I said coldly,
17:20If you go back now, you might make it to the house. You could still survive. If you stay here,
17:26it'll be too late.
17:27They were mad, but they couldn't last.
17:29A few minutes later, I heard footsteps. I looked through the crack.
17:32They were helping each other, stumbling down the hill, cursing me the whole way.
17:36My adoptive mom sighed,
17:37Good thing they left. I would have felt bad.
17:39I nodded, but I knew better.
17:41My birth family was greedy and mean. They wouldn't give up that easy.
17:47My birth family didn't give up. They came up with something even worse.
17:51They went live on TikTok. They blamed everything on me.
17:54The title of the stream was horrible.
17:56The freeze is here. My sister Joy is hoarding supplies. She caused this whole disaster.
18:00I clicked on it. Hundreds of thousands of people were watching.
18:04Mia was crying on camera. She wiped her tears for sympathy.
18:07Everyone, please judge it for me. It was her idea. She told our parents to lie to her. To lock
18:14her in this bunker.
18:15She knew the freeze was coming. And she told no one. If she said something, people would have been ready.
18:22The whole country wouldn't be like this.
18:25She knew what was coming. She only cared about herself. She made us build this bunker for her. We bought
18:30three years of supplies. And she keeps it all for herself.
18:34The comments exploded.
18:38People were already upset. Now they were angry.
18:41Dad?
18:41They cursed me in the comments.
18:43She knew and didn't tell anyone? How selfish is that?
18:46People are freezing out here. She's hiding in a bunker? Why does she get to do that?
18:51Mia saw the comments. She smiled a little.
18:53I know everyone is suffering. So are we. We gave her three years of supplies. That bunker has everything. Food,
19:00water, heat. She's keeping it all for Hall herself. That's not fair.
19:05If Joy didn't post that reply, telling us to lie and lock her in, we would have never thought of
19:10it. But we bought all those supplies. We paid for everything. Now she's using it all. The world is suffering.
19:16And she's comfortable in there. That's not right.
19:19We're not trying to take her stuff. We just want her to share. So more people can live. But she
19:25locked us out. She told us we deserved it.
19:28This is what we bought. 500 boxes of MREs. Dozens of barrels of fuel.
19:34People saw the list. They got even angrier.
19:36She has all that? That's so wrong!
19:39Why does she get a bunker for 50 people? Give it up! Split the supplies!
19:44Joy, come out! If you have any heart, share the food!
19:48I watched the stream and laughed. I saw what my birth family was doing. They were using the internet to
19:53turn people against me. Let them come after me. My birth family would sit back and watch. If people couldn't
19:59get in, at least my name would be ruined.
20:01Mia kept talking. We went to the bunker before. She kicked us out. She cursed at us. She said we
20:08deserved it. We're too scared to go back.
20:10She paused like she was thinking. If anyone is brave enough, I can tell you where the bunker is. But
20:15for safety, I'll only tell 10 people. You can try first.
20:18People rushed to sign up. Everyone wanted the location. Mia picked 10 people and sent them. Then she cried at
20:24the camera again.
20:25I hope you get the supplies. Share them with everyone.
20:31By the afternoon, I heard footsteps outside. I looked through the crack. 10 men in heavy coats were walking toward
20:37the bunker. They had hammers and crowbars.
20:39Joy! Get out! Give up the bunker! Open up! Share the supplies! Or we'll break this door down and throw
20:48you out in the cold!
20:49They swung their tools at the door. My adoptive parents went pale. They grabbed my hand.
20:55Joy, what do we do? Joy, can they get in?
20:59Don't worry. They can't get in. This door is bulletproof.
21:03Even in good weather, they couldn't break it. Out here in the freeze, they'll tire out fast.
21:08They hit the door for a while. They got tired.
21:11Joy, we know this isn't easy. But it's so cold out here. People are starving. Just give us some supplies.
21:17We'll leave and won't bother you. No. These supplies are mine. Why would I share it with you?
21:23Mia sent you here. If you want supplies, go ask her.
21:27I went back inside with my parents. I learned my lesson last life. I won't be soft again.
21:34Last life, we hid in a cellar in a small town. We had enough supplies to last a while.
21:39Then a little girl came to our door. She cried and said her family was dead. We felt bad and
21:44let her in.
21:45We didn't know she would betray us. She told hungry people where we were.
21:49They broke in. They took our cellar. They threw us out.
21:52We froze to death in the cold.
21:55So this life, I won't make the same mistake. I won't be soft on anyone.
21:59The noises outside stopped after a few minutes.
22:01After they left, my birth family's stream was still going.
22:04Mia saw that the men couldn't get in. She cursed me even more.
22:07Everyone saw that, right? She has no heart. People are suffering. She won't even share a little food.
22:13I laughed coldly. I pulled out my phone. I went live on TikTok. No makeup, just me.
22:18When my birth family and the viewers saw me, they froze.
22:24Mia was shocked. She pointed at the screen.
22:27How do you have a phone? How can you go live?
22:31I knew you posted that thread. Of course I was ready.
22:34Millions of people flooded my stream.
22:36Joy, you selfish brat! Give up the bunker!
22:39Share the supplies, or we'll make you pay!
22:42I didn't fight back. I told the whole story. Everything from the beginning.
22:46When people heard how my birth family wanted to lock me away forever with a lie about the end of
22:51the world, they got quiet.
22:53They say I'm hoarding supplies, but they bought all of this to trap me here.
22:57They say I didn't warn anyone, but they didn't believe me.
23:00They thought I was crazy. What was I supposed to do?
23:02People saw the truth. They started cursing my birth family instead.
23:05Someone asked me,
23:06How did you know the freeze was coming?
23:08Because I lived through it before.
23:10The freeze will last three years, but the government is working fast.
23:13Fema is already helping.
23:15Stay home for a few more days.
23:17Heaters will come soon.
23:18People with no heat at home will go to rescue shelters.
23:21Hearing this, people cheered.
23:22They started thanking me.
23:24Thank you, Joy. You're a good person.
23:27It was their fault. They're so evil.
23:30Joy, stay safe.
23:31Joy, you liar! You're just hoarding supplies! Don't believe her!
23:36I watched Mia freak out. I smiled coldly.
23:41I laughed.
23:42Okay, Mia. If you're so mad that I'm in the bunker you built, then come here tomorrow morning.
23:47Let's see what you can do.
23:49Mia was mad.
23:50You think I'm scared? Fine. I'll be there.
23:52Joy, tomorrow you better give up this bunker. Or else!
23:55I shut off my stream. My heart was racing. I dared them because I knew something.
24:00Tomorrow, the temperature would drop to minus 100.
24:03I couldn't wait to see their faces.
24:05The next day, it was noon before I heard anything.
24:08I looked through the small hole.
24:10My birth family helped each other, stumbling up the hill.
24:12They looked worse than last time.
24:14Their eyes were empty.
24:15They used their last bit of strength to climb.
24:17My birth dad yelled weakly.
24:19Joy, get out here. Open up. Give us the bunker.
24:23Joy, you bitch! Open up!
24:25If we die, we're taking you with us!
24:27I walked to the door.
24:28You really don't give up.
24:29You know I'm not giving you this bunker.
24:31And you still came.
24:32Enough talk!
24:33This bunker is ours!
24:35We bought those supplies!
24:36Why do you get to keep them?
24:38You locked me in here yourselves.
24:39You worked so hard to trap me.
24:41Now you want my place?
24:43Isn't that funny?
24:44Don't get too proud!
24:46Even if you survive three years, when you come out, we'll crush you like a bug!
24:50With just one word!
24:51My voice went cold.
24:52That's if you live three years!
24:55The End
24:56the End
24:56The End
