Short filmTranscript
00:00My name is Helen Silvermoon, werewolf princess, heir to the Silvermoon throne.
00:04Three days ago, my father was assassinated.
00:06His body wasn't even in the ground yet,
00:08when the Darkmoon family stirred up humans to deface his memorial portrait with stones.
00:12A human council representative spits into the camera.
00:15Moonbridge Project is racial segregation.
00:17Moonbridge Project conspiracy, werewolves are pressing humans, trending worldwide.
00:21My grandfather turns off the television.
00:23He is the Silvermoon, Alpha King.
00:25The Darkmoon family is pushing to abolish the coexistence agreement.
00:28The Saint Moon Parliament votes in three weeks.
00:31Your crown heir's trial is being accelerated.
00:33Helen, go to Silvermoon Academy.
00:35As a human, find proof that the Darkmoon family is sabotaging the peace.
00:40Otherwise...
00:40Otherwise, Silvermoon falls.
00:42Darkmoon rises.
00:44The agreement collapses.
00:45Humans become slaves.
00:46I push the inhibitor into my vein.
00:48The liquid is silver, like liquid moonlight.
00:51Three seconds later, I can no longer smell werewolves.
00:54Three minutes later, I become a human.
00:56The gates of Silvermoon Academy open before me.
00:58Did you hear?
00:59Two transfer students today.
01:01Another Moonbridge kid walking right into the...
01:03A hand-holding coffee.
01:04Coffee pours all over me.
01:06A scream explodes.
01:11Are you freaking blind?
01:12She sniffs the air around me.
01:14Chelsea, look.
01:16Director Nillison said one of the transfer students today is the daughter of a human cleaner.
01:20That's you, right?
01:22No, it's not.
01:22I get shoved hard.
01:24A passing girl catches me.
01:27Emily Nash.
01:28Transfer student.
01:30My dad is the cousin of Human Council Chairman Nash.
01:33There are only two transfer students today.
01:36What about your father?
01:37He's dead.
01:39Oh, so you are the cleaner's daughter.
01:42The laughter stings.
01:44We have class.
01:45Mrs. Werber's class doesn't allow turdian sis.
01:47Abigail, human girl.
01:49No one asked you to speak.
01:51You're helping her?
01:52First, I am not the cleaner's daughter.
01:54Second, you know nothing about who I am.
01:57And third...
01:57Slap, my face stings.
01:59I lift my head and look into her eyes.
02:01You'll regret messing with me.
02:03You'll regret coming to Silvermoon Academy, Moonbridge freak.
02:09You shouldn't have helped me.
02:11Chelsea is the werewolf princess of the Darkmoon family.
02:14So is her sidekick.
02:16No one dares to go against them.
02:17I know.
02:19Then why...
02:20Does no one dares makes it right?
02:22Mrs. Pamela walks into the classroom.
02:25Today we're talking about the origin of the Moonbridge Project.
02:2730 years ago, the Silvermoon Alpha King founded the Moonbridge Project,
02:31admitting 100 human students every year.
02:33This is a hand of friendship extended by werewolves to humankind.
02:36What do you think about the negative rumors spreading online about the Moonbridge Project?
02:39The Moonbridge Project may have some...
02:41Some discrimination?
02:41Some areas that need adjustment.
02:43Like what?
02:43Gurg-tul-a-u, eip-jul-adren-grac, athro-a-ru-react, no-chal.
02:50What?
02:51Werewolf students should not deliberately use ancient werewolf language to isolate human classmates.
02:56Chelsea glares at me.
02:58What did she say?
02:59My grandfather's voice echoes in my head.
03:01As a human, find proof.
03:03This is your heirs' trial.
03:05Ancient werewolf language.
03:06I don't understand it.
03:08Mrs. Connor, if you can't understand ancient werewolf language,
03:11I suggest you transfer schools.
03:13I lift my head.
03:14Calm.
03:14Steady.
03:15I'll learn.
03:15Not the language, but your secrets and conspiracy.
03:18That's what I came for.
03:31Helen Conler.
03:33A converted storage room.
03:35Wait.
03:36Isn't Conley the cleaner's daughter?
03:38She should live in the cleaner's dorm with her own kind.
03:41Ms. Zoe is right.
03:42The cleaner's dorm is outside campus next to the Forbidden Forest.
03:45An extra 20-minute walk.
03:46I don't argue.
03:47I grab my backpack and turn toward the east exit.
03:50Zoe's voice floats after me.
03:52Let's see how long she lasts.
03:54My phone buzzes.
03:55Campus forum.
03:56Full moon festival eve alert.
03:58After moonrise tonight, werewolf students may roam the campus freely top comment.
04:02Full moon festival night equals hunting season.
04:0512 humans got clawed last year.
04:06Abigail catches up to me.
04:07The old scar on her arm turns pale in the setting sun.
04:11Tonight is the eve of the full moon.
04:13Tomorrow night is the moonlight hunt.
04:14You have to hide-
04:15All human students must return to their dorms immediately.
04:18The footsteps in the hallway grow heavier, denser.
04:21Around the corner, Zoe leans against the wall.
04:23A baseball bat in her hand.
04:25Well, well.
04:27Two humans.
04:29Heading back to your dorm?
04:31Her pupils turn gold.
04:32I can walk you there.
04:36Abigail steps in front of me.
04:38Her pupils turn gold.
04:40She grins, bearing her thanks.
04:42If you attack a human right now, the cameras will catch it.
04:45Cameras?
04:45You didn't know?
04:47Chelsea controls the surveillance room.
04:49The baseball bat seems high.
04:52Abigail screams.
04:54I reach out.
04:55Block.
04:55The sound of bone cracking travels from my arm into my brain.
04:58It hurts, but I don't scream.
05:01Your arm!
05:04I'm fine.
05:05My werewolf hearing catches a conversation from the other side.
05:08Chelsea's voice.
05:10That Helen girl.
05:11She doesn't smell right.
05:13Three weeks until the parliament votes.
05:14No mistakes until then.
05:16Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
05:25You?
05:28No one can see this.
05:30Hurry back to your dorm right now.
05:32Night falls.
05:33Laughter and screams drift from the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
05:37I sneak deep into the Forbidden Forest.
05:39Moonlight is shredded by the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
05:43The screams grow closer.
05:44Not humans being hunted.
05:46Werewolves laughing.
05:47Then I see him.
05:48A man chained to a tree.
05:50No, not a pure human.
05:51His ears are pointed.
05:53His pupils glow gold in the moonlight.
05:55A hybrid.
05:55Werewolf and human.
05:56His clothes are torn.
05:58His face is streaked with dried blood.
06:00He's been here a long time.
06:01I step closer.
06:02Who are you?
06:03Did Chelsea chain you here?
06:06A human girl?
06:08Run.
06:09If they find you, you'll be killed.
06:11Like he hasn't had water in days.
06:13His lips tremble.
06:14His eyes lock on something behind me.
06:16Footsteps.
06:17Not heavy.
06:17But rhythmic.
06:18Like a hunter's.
06:19I turn around.
06:20Principal Connor stands in the moonlight.
06:22Silver hair.
06:23Golden eyes.
06:24No expression.
06:25Helen Connler.
06:27Curfew time.
06:28You shouldn't be here.
06:32I release the inhibitor.
06:34My pupils turn silver.
06:35Silver moon werewolf aura radiates from me.
06:38Connor looks at me.
06:39His eyes are complicated.
06:40You are.
06:41Follow me.
06:42That hybrid.
06:43His name is Martin Cohen.
06:45He was a teacher here last year.
06:46What did he see?
06:47The full story of how Chelsea set up a human student.
06:50He recorded the whole thing.
06:52He wanted to testify.
06:53And then?
06:54The next day, the video disappeared from the internet.
06:57Martin was chained in the Forbidden Forest.
06:59Why didn't you save him?
07:01Because before I could save him, the Dark Moon family would have replaced me.
07:05I tried to get help, but even your father couldn't stop them.
07:08My father?
07:09Your father, Crown Prince Ash, came to Silver Moon Academy in secret.
07:13He met with Martin.
07:14He met with him?
07:15What did they say?
07:16Martin gave the evidence to your father.
07:18Three days later, your father was assassinated.
07:21Where is the evidence now?
07:23Destroyed by the Dark Moon family.
07:25I stand up.
07:26What about Martin?
07:28What else does he know?
07:29He's useless now.
07:31Chelsea kept him alive for one reason only.
07:33To fish for what?
07:35To fish for you.
07:36Outside the window.
07:37A miserable howl echoes from the Forbidden Forest.
07:43The next morning, Abigail bursts into the cafeteria.
07:46Her face is pale.
07:49That teacher.
07:51The man in the Forbidden Forest, he's dead.
07:53My hand freezes mid-air.
07:55How?
07:56The cleaner said.
07:57Before dawn, Chelsea's people went into the forest.
08:00Then they said Martin tried to escape.
08:02He was dealt with.
08:03Dealt with.
08:05I put down my fork.
08:07Chelsea knows I went to the forest.
08:09She knows Martin might have talked to me.
08:10So she silenced him.
08:12Helen?
08:12You're crying.
08:14I touch my face.
08:15It's wet.
08:16Not fear.
08:17Ratten waited so long.
08:18My father waited so long.
08:20Human girl, serve us well at the luncheon.
08:23Hope you don't get too tired.
08:25Past her smug face.
08:26My eyes lock with Chelsea's arrogant, provoking, certain.
08:30My fist clenches under the table.
08:31Too tired to run from the moonlight hunt.
08:37The Grand Hall.
08:39Crystal chandeliers.
08:40Silver cutlery.
08:41Werewolf students wear evening gowns and tuxedos.
08:43Like a flock of proud peacocks.
08:45Human students are servers.
08:47I'm assigned to carry trays.
08:48Chelsea sits at the head table.
08:50Server.
08:51We're out of wine.
08:52I walk over.
08:53Pick up the bottle.
08:54Pour.
08:54The full glass of red wine on my tray.
08:56Pours all over Chelsea's gown.
08:58The room goes silent.
08:59Are you blind?
09:01That's Miss Chelsea's gown!
09:02Kneel.
09:04Clean it.
09:05Chelsea repeats herself.
09:06Kneel.
09:07My grandfather's voice echoes in my head.
09:09Above the throne, trust no one.
09:11But before the throne, never kneel.
09:12Miss Chelsea, I came here to learn.
09:15Not to shine shoes.
09:16You know what happens at Silvermon Academy?
09:18When you talk back to a student council member?
09:20I don't answer.
09:22Then you're expelled.
09:26The room erupts.
09:27Chelsea.
09:28She's a new student.
09:30Expulsion requires a vote by the disciplinary committee.
09:33Principal Connor is right.
09:34Then not expelled.
09:35Demerit.
09:36School rules allow a reprimand instead of a demerit.
09:39First offense, reprimand.
09:40Second offense, demerit.
09:41Will you do?
09:42Fine.
09:42Connor turns to me.
09:43Don't give her another chance.
09:45Understood.
09:46Connor leaves.
09:47I stand alone in the empty Grand Hall.
09:49The crystal chandeliers go out one by one.
09:51The luncheon ends.
09:52You're looking for death.
09:54I know.
09:55Chelsea won't let this go.
09:56I know.
09:57Then why?
09:58Because once you kneel, you kneel forever.
10:02Emily stares at me.
10:04Who are you?
10:05At the end of the hallway, Chelsea's figure flickers past.
10:08She's watching.
10:09I watch her leave.
10:10I don't look back.
10:11One secret for another.
10:13Emily blinks.
10:14What do you mean?
10:15The roof.
10:16Now.
10:22The roof.
10:23The wind is strong.
10:24Emily leans against the railing.
10:25Her back to me.
10:26I'm not Councilman Nash's cousin.
10:28You already knew, didn't you?
10:30The silverware.
10:31Nobles don't hold their forks wrong.
10:33My dad is a cleaner at Silver Moon Academy.
10:36I know.
10:39How do you know everything?
10:40Because I'm not human.
10:41Because I smell the laundry detergent on your clothes.
10:44But I don't say that.
10:45Why lie?
10:46Because the Moonbridge Project tells humans you can, but the system tells us you don't belong.
10:50If I came in as an ordinary human, I'd live in the basement.
10:53I'd get bullied.
10:54I'd get hunted.
10:55I didn't want that.
10:56So you lied.
10:57So I survive.
10:58Do you know what it feels like to be pushed around?
11:02I know.
11:02I just experienced it today.
11:05I won't expose you, but you need to do one thing.
11:09What?
11:09Stop bullying the other human students.
11:12Why?
11:13If I look weak, Chelsea will crush me even harder.
11:16Because you need me.
11:18She freezes.
11:19What are you?
11:21Someone who can change the rules.
11:23Chelsea or me?
11:25She stares at me for a long time.
11:27You are better than her.
11:30Abigail slams the roof door open.
11:34Helen!
11:34Check the forum.
11:35You're first on the Moonlight Hunt list.
11:41The campus forum explodes.
11:43The Student Council officially releases the Moonlight Hunt activity list.
11:46First name, Helen Connor.
11:48Abigail shoves her phone in my face.
11:50You're first on the list!
11:52I see it.
11:53Hard to miss.
11:54You're still smiling?
11:56Run!
11:56Run from what?
11:57I have class this afternoon.
11:58Class?
11:59Do you even know what's happening tonight?
12:01Helen, you're going to die!
12:02No, I won't.
12:03Chelsea won't let me die.
12:05Dead is boring.
12:06She wants to humiliate me in front of everyone.
12:08Make me beg on my knees.
12:09Then what are you going to do?
12:11I won't, Neil.
12:12Not today.
12:14Not ever.
12:15Then I'm coming with you.
12:16Whether you like it or not.
12:18You're a student.
12:18At school, you study.
12:21But...
12:22But...
12:23No buts.
12:25Helen!
12:26Who the hell are you?
12:27Abigail shouts after me.
12:29I don't look back.
12:30Mrs. Pamela's class doesn't like late Tummers.
12:33But my shadow in the sunlight.
12:35Longer than it should be.
12:36Like a wolf.
12:41Afternoon.
12:42Last period.
12:42Mrs. Pamela is lecturing on werewolf history.
12:45Chelsea isn't here.
12:46Zoe isn't here.
12:47The seat behind me is empty.
12:48After class.
12:50Chelsea changed the rules.
12:51Tonight isn't a hunt.
12:52It's a public execution.
12:54Everyone will be in the square watching.
12:56She wants you to kneel in front of everyone.
12:58Thanks.
12:59You're still going?
13:00Not going means dropping out.
13:02Dropping out means failing the trial.
13:03Failing the trial means the silver moon.
13:05Royal family loses.
13:07You care that much about staying in this school?
13:09I look at her.
13:10I care about fairness.
13:11Emily is quiet for a long time.
13:13Then I'll help you.
13:14How?
13:15Chelsea put me in charge of the surveillance room.
13:17When the hunt starts tonight, I'll turn off the cameras in the square.
13:20But I'll keep the footage.
13:21In case you need it.
13:22Why are you helping me?
13:23Because I said I choose you.
13:25I want to choose myself too.
13:30Eight o'clock at night.
13:31The moon rises from behind the Forbidden Forest.
13:33Silver light floods the square.
13:35Hundreds of werewolf students form a circle.
13:37Chelsea sits on a raised platform, like a queen.
13:39I'm pushed into the center of the circle.
13:40Zoe stands behind me.
13:41Baseball bat in hand.
13:43Helen Connor.
13:43Chelsea reads my name.
13:44You are accused of insulting student council members,
13:47violating school rules, and talking back to faculty.
13:50All lies.
13:50But no one dares to speak.
13:52Punishment.
13:53The moonlight hunt.
13:54The rules are simple.
13:55You run.
13:56Zoe chases.
13:58Until she catches you.
13:59And after she catches me?
14:00Chelsea smiles.
14:01After she catches you, you kneel and apologize.
14:05And if I refuse?
14:07You don't have the right to refuse.
14:08Chelsea waves her hand.
14:09Zoe rushes towards me.
14:13I dodge sideways.
14:14Zoe's base ball bat slams into the ground.
14:16The stone cracks.
14:17Gasps from the crowd.
14:20Zoe grins.
14:22Fast.
14:24But you won't be so lucky next time.
14:27She charges again.
14:28Faster.
14:28I duck low and slip under her arms.
14:30Zoe's boot slams into my lower back.
14:31I hit the ground.
14:32Roll twice.
14:32Push myself up.
14:33Blood at the corner of my mouth.
14:35Zoe laughs.
14:36Get up, cleaner's daughter.
14:38I stand.
14:39Weren't you fast just now?
14:41Chelsea claps from the platform.
14:43Lovely.
14:44Continue.
14:45Zoe charges again.
14:46This time I don't dodge.
14:47The bat smashes into my shoulder.
14:49The sound of bone cracking.
14:50The crowd goes silent.
14:51I don't fall.
14:52That's it?
14:53Zoe's face twitches.
14:54She raises the bat, aiming for my head.
14:56Enough.
14:57Chelsea stands up.
14:59Helen Conley.
15:01I'll ask you one last time.
15:02Will you kneel?
15:03I wipe the blood from my mouth.
15:04Dream on.
15:08Chelsea's face darkens.
15:10Then keep going.
15:12Zoe lifts the bat again.
15:13Principal Connor walks into the square.
15:15The crowd goes silent.
15:16Stop.
15:17Chelsea glares at Connor.
15:18Principal, this is a student council activity.
15:21The moonlight hunt is a student council activity, but school rules prohibit deadly weapons.
15:26A baseball ball isn't a deadly weapon.
15:28It is to a human.
15:30Chelsea grinds her teeth.
15:31Connor, you-
15:32Tonight's hunt ends here.
15:33Connor looks at me.
15:35Helen Conner, come with me to the infirmary.
15:37Zoe looks to Chelsea.
15:38Chelsea waves her hand.
15:39Get out.
15:41I walk past Chelsea.
15:43Her voice follows me.
15:44Low.
15:44You can't win.
15:47I stop.
15:49You won't keep winning.
15:50Your father couldn't win.
15:52Neither can you.
15:56The infirmary.
15:57Connor closes the door.
15:58Pulls the curtain.
15:59Take off your jacket.
16:00What?
16:01Let me see your injuries.
16:02A werewolf royal's healing speed a normal person would notice.
16:05Are you helping me or setting me up?
16:07If I wanted you dead, you'd still be in the Forbidden Forest.
16:10I take off my jacket.
16:12The bruises on my shoulder are already fading.
16:14The bone crack is closing.
16:15Connor glances at it.
16:16Wrap it.
16:17Don't let anyone see.
16:18Chelsea knows who I am.
16:19She knows you're suspicious, but she doesn't have proof.
16:22A werewolf pretending to be human on campus, that's espionage.
16:26School rules allow execution.
16:28Right now, the only way she can prove who you are is to force you to shift.
16:32So that's why she keeps pushing me?
16:33Yes.
16:34Every time you hold back, she gets more suspicious.
16:37The moment you can't hold back anymore, she wins.
16:40Then what do I do?
16:41Find the evidence.
16:42Before she forces you to shift, find the Dark Moon family's plan.
16:46Where?
16:46The abandoned archives, cabinet C7.
16:48After the Full Moon Festival, when the moonlight fades us, Silver Moon Werewolf can unlock it.
16:53Why are you telling me this now?
16:54Because until today, I wasn't sure you could last this long.
16:57And now?
16:57Now you're even more stubborn than your father.
17:02The next day, I tell Abigail the plan.
17:04Tonight, at 2 in the morning, Chelsea's people will be resting after the Full Moon Festival.
17:08The archives will have only two guards.
17:10How do you know?
17:11Connor told me.
17:12Abigail is quiet for a long time.
17:14You trust Connor?
17:15I don't trust anyone, but he's the only lead I have.
17:17What if he's lying?
17:18What if this is Chelsea's trap?
17:20Then I'll still take the risk.
17:21Abigail takes my hand.
17:22Then I'll take it with you.
17:24Late night, I change into dark clothes and slip out the window.
17:27Abigail follows.
17:27Go back.
17:28I said I'm going with you.
17:30We cross campus, dodging the patrolling werewolves.
17:33The entrance is hidden in a fire access tunnel.
17:35The door is locked.
17:36Chelsea's birthday.
17:38Wrong.
17:38The Dark Moon family's founding year.
17:40Wrong.
17:41Date of cessation.
17:42Three incorrect attempts will trigger the alarm.
17:45The Dark Moon family is pushing to abolish the coexistence agreement.
17:48The Full Moon Parliament votes in three weeks.
17:50I enter the date.
17:54The door opens.
17:55Steps descend into darkness.
17:56It swallows everything.
17:58Abigail turns on her phone flashlight.
18:01I'm scared.
18:02Stay close to me.
18:0320 square meters.
18:04Walls lined with metal cabinets on all four sides.
18:07Cabinet C-7.
18:08The drawer opens.
18:09A brown paper envelope.
18:10I tear it open.
18:11A single document falls out.
18:13Abigail leans in to look.
18:14Her face goes white.
18:15What is this?
18:16The Dark Moon family's plan.
18:18I open the file.
18:19Page 1.
18:20The divide plan.
18:21Page 2.
18:21The assassination plan.
18:23Page 3.
18:24The takeover plan.
18:25Helen.
18:26We need to go.
18:27Sirens blare.
18:28Footsteps outside the door.
18:31Caught you, little thief.
18:35Helen.
18:36Did you really think I didn't know you were coming?
18:39Abigail's face drains of color.
18:40Helen.
18:41We...
18:41You go.
18:42The ventilation shaft.
18:44Climb out.
18:45Take the evidence.
18:46I'm not leaving.
18:47You have to.
18:48The evidence is more important than me.
18:50Abigail looks at the ventilation shaft.
18:52Then at me.
18:52You'll die.
18:53No, I won't.
18:55Run.
18:55Give this to the other Moonbridge children.
18:58The whole world will see who Chelsea really is.
19:00What about you?
19:01I'll stall her.
19:02Abigail is crying.
19:03But she climbs into the ventilation shaft.
19:05The door slams open.
19:06Chelsea stands in the doorway.
19:08The ventilation shaft?
19:09Go after her.
19:10That useless human girl.
19:12She won't get far.
19:13She's already gone.
19:14I'll catch her.
19:15No, you won't.
19:16By the time you catch her, the evidence will be uploaded to the cloud.
19:19Chelsea's smile disappears.
19:20Teach her some manners.
19:21Zoe lunges forward.
19:23Her fist slams into my stomach.
19:25Is that all you've got, Silver Moon Princess?
19:27Chelsea steps closer.
19:28I lift my head.
