00:00Every wolf in the silver crown pack could see
00:02The death countdown hovering over my older sister Selena's head
00:06They all knew she'd be gone the moment she turned 16
00:10Since her birth, that flickering number has hung above her head like a ghost
00:14Counting down endlessly
00:16Naturally, she became the center of everyone
00:19And everything
00:20The best venison was hers
00:22The new dress
00:24Even mom's bedtime stories
00:26All belonged to her
00:28I felt for her
00:30But I also hated her for it
00:32Finally, the day of her 16th birthday arrived
00:35That very night my parents had been dreading for 16 years
00:39To make sure I wouldn't ruin anything
00:41They locked me in the storage room with a magic seal
00:44While I was burning up with blood fever
00:48Dad! Mom! Let me out!
00:51I'm burning up! My bones hurt so bad!
00:54Every wolf knows what that means
00:56My wolf spirit was waking up
00:58Through the door, I heard mom hiss through gritted teeth
01:01Enough, Amber!
01:03Your sister is going to die after today
01:05Can't you just endure this last day?
01:08But I feel so bad
01:10Before I could finish, the footsteps faded
01:14Then it went silent
01:15My wolf spirit whimpered
01:17Struggling to stand and trying to save me
01:20But in the room, there was no moonlight
01:22No fresh air
01:24And no one
01:25Slowly, the whimpering faded
01:27So did my breath
01:30My body suddenly felt light
01:32I drifted right through the door
01:34And floated into the warm glow of the living room
01:36The fireplace was crackling
01:38My parents were huddled close to my sister on the sofa
01:41Mom was gently patting her back
01:44Selina was wearing that blue dress
01:46The gift from Luna
01:47It was moonlit blue
01:49With delicate silver stars
01:51Dusted across the hem
01:52Her face was deathly pale
01:55And her lips drained of all color
01:57Mom, Dad?
01:59Is Amber really alright?
02:01I heard her crying out that her body hurt
02:04Ignore her
02:05Mom agreed to it
02:07As she reached out to touch Selina's cheek
02:09Fixing her hair
02:10She's just pretending to be sick, honey
02:12You know how she is
02:14Jealous
02:15Always trying to draw everyone's attention to herself
02:17But she sounded so scared
02:19Selina
02:20You only have one single day left
02:24Selina
02:25I'm begging you
02:26Please don't let her ruin this for you
02:29I knew she felt guilty
02:31Ever since I could remember
02:33All the love and attention in the family
02:36Seemed to belong to her
02:38Selina tried to make it up to me
02:40She'd hide the venison in my pockets
02:42And sneak her new wool socks under my pillow
02:44When Dad tried to hit me
02:46She'd throw herself in front of me
02:48Without a second thought
02:49She always said the same
02:51I'm sorry, Amber
02:53It's all my fault
02:55But our parents thought otherwise
02:57Mom sighed
02:58Her eyes filled with pity
02:59Don't defend her, Selina
03:01That child has been jealous of you
03:03Since she could walk
03:04And hates to see you happy
03:06Don't you remember your 14th birthday?
03:09I ruined everything on her 14th birthday
03:12And it was also the first time
03:13I truly realized that my sister was dying
03:16Dad traded that day's hunt for a small cake
03:18White frosting and 14 candles
03:21Mom lit them one by one
03:23While Dad held his old camera
03:25Trying to capture her while she was still here
03:29I watched her make wishes from behind the door
03:31The candlelight flickering on her face
03:33And the tears in our parents' eyes
03:37Above her head, the countdown number read
03:40730 days
03:43Two years
03:44Something inside me snapped
03:46I rushed out
03:47I didn't know what I was thinking at the time
03:49Maybe it was jealousy
03:51Or maybe I just couldn't accept the fact that my sister
03:54Who had always been so kind to me
03:56Was about to die
03:57I flipped the cake over
03:59Cream splattered all over the floor
04:01And the candles rolled into the corner
04:02Quickly burning out
04:04I don't want to see you celebrating her birthday
04:07I screamed like every other naughty kid
04:10I still remember the way my parents looked at me
04:13I didn't dodge at all when Dad slapped me
04:15One slap and two and three
04:17Mom stood there crying
04:19But she didn't stop him
04:20It was Selena who threw herself over me
04:23Like a mother wolf protecting her cub
04:26Stop hitting sister, Dad!
04:28Please stop!
04:29It's my fault!
04:30It's all my fault!
04:31That night, she sneaked into my room
04:33And placed half a piece of candy she'd saved into my palm
04:36There was a red mark on her wrist
04:38Scratched by the chair when she had rushed over to protect me
04:42I'm sorry
04:44She whispered, touching my swollen cheek
04:47I'm leaving soon
04:49From now on, no one will compete with you for things anymore
04:52Right then, in the living room
04:53Mom was stroking Selena's cheek with aching tenderness
04:56Her fingers brushing through her hair
04:58Selena, don't pay attention to her
05:01That child has always been jealous of you, you know that
05:04I froze
05:05Yes, she was right
05:07I really am jealous of Selena
05:09I was jealous that she had all their love
05:11Jealous that she got to wear new dresses
05:13Jealous that when she was sick, Mom would stay by her side all night
05:17Jealous that even if she only had one day left to live
05:21She was still the golden child
05:23I drifted toward my sister
05:25Reaching out to grab her hand
05:26I wanted to tell her that I really was burning up
05:30And it hurt like my body was on fire
05:33But my hand went right through her body
05:35Like it was passing through a cloud of mist
05:37I hovered there, staring at my transparent fingers
05:41Then, I looked back at the locked door of the storage room
05:45A faint light seeped through the crack
05:47I drifted through the door and saw my own body on the ground
05:50My skin looked deathly pale against the cold ground
05:53My spirit wolf was huddled around my heart
05:56Still and frozen
05:57There are still a few hours left on the death clock above Selena's head
06:01It turned out that death came to me first before her
06:06Memories flooded back like a relentless tide
06:08When I was young, I really did hate Selena
06:12If there was only one piece of candy in the house, it was hers
06:16But the only apple in the house went to my sister Selena
06:19She was always the first to get new clothes
06:22I wore her old ones, with patches layered over patches
06:26Even the bedtime stories belonged to her
06:28Mom's voice is very gentle
06:30But she only read those stories to Selena
06:33I'd huddle outside the door, hugging my knees
06:36Listening to those beautiful tales
06:38While my heart twisted in my chest
06:41Why just her, but not me?
06:44The summer I turned seven
06:45A neighboring pack sent a chicken as a peace offering
06:49At dinner, she pulled out two golden drumsticks
06:51And put both into Selena's bowl
06:53Eat up, sweetheart, you need to grow strength
06:56I stared at my own bowl
06:58Why does she get both? I want one!
07:01Amber Blackfield!
07:03How can you be so selfish? Your sister is sick, don't you know?
07:06Why is everything hers?
07:08Why don't you just die already?
07:09Give them back to me! All of them!
07:15She has to learn
07:17She needs to know the boundaries
07:18And watch her mouth in this house
07:20The next day, I overheard my parents in the kitchen
07:25Only nine years left
07:27I know
07:29Nine years! Only nine years left!
07:33That's all she has left
07:34That was when I realized
07:36Those numbers above Selena's head were never some kind of a game
07:39They were a countdown to the end of her life
07:43In the living room, Mom and Dad's eyes were swollen
07:46As they carefully took Selena back to her room
07:48As I watched, something sour and painful suddenly welled up inside me
07:52Maybe we should let Amber out
07:54Dad whispered, um, remained silent for a while
07:57Let her suffer a little longer
07:59Let Selena have a perfect birthday
08:01Just this one day, the last...
08:04We will definitely make it up to her
08:06At least, let Selena have a perfect birthday
08:11Just this one day, the last day
08:14Amber will understand us
08:16Dad didn't say another word
08:17He simply went to the kitchen
08:19Took a slice of stale bread from the cupboard
08:22And walked toward the storage room door
08:24Dad whispered to the door
08:26Amber
08:27Daddy brought you bread
08:29Will you eat a little?
08:31I was drifting right in front of him
08:33His eyes were all red
08:34And his hair was already graying
08:36He's only 38
08:37But he looked like 50
08:39Daddy
08:39I'm here
08:40I'm dead
08:42Will you open the door and see me?
08:46Amber?
08:46He called out again
08:47I reached out to touch his face
08:49But my hand went straight through him
08:51Not a sound from the room
08:54He sighed and pushed the bread under the door
08:56Be angry if you want
08:58When your sister is gone
09:00Daddy will make it all up to you
09:03I swear
09:03He turned and walked away
09:05He didn't open the door to check on me
09:07Watching his back, I said softly
09:09No need, Daddy
09:09You don't have to compensate me anymore
09:12You will never have the chance
09:16A moment later, Mom came
09:19Amber, don't blame Mom, okay?
09:23Your sister only has one day left
09:25Just...
09:26Let her have her way
09:30She wiped her tears
09:32Almost as if she were embarrassed
09:33Like crying was something to be ashamed of
09:37After she's gone
09:38I'll cook all your favorite foods
09:40Buy anything you want
09:42And take you wherever you want to go
09:46I'll do all of it
09:47I swear
09:49So just for today
09:51Please
09:53Stop acting out
09:55Okay?
09:56She waited for a while
09:57But the other side of the door
09:58Remained deathly silent
10:00The grief on her face
10:04You ungrateful brat
10:05You can't even hold it together for one night
10:09She muttered
10:10Her voice cracking with a sob
10:12You don't care about us at all
10:13We raised you all these years for nothing
10:18She turned around and walked away
10:20I drifted in the dark
10:22Staring at the spot where her tears dropped
10:23It's okay, Mom
10:24You don't need to keep those promises anymore
10:27By dusk, the light outside was fading
10:30Mom was putting up the birthday decorations
10:32And just as she finished sticking the birthday banner on the wall
10:35Someone knocked on the door
10:36Three slow knocks
10:38Only Grandma knocks like that
10:43Grandma Maeve stood on the porch
10:44She was tiny
10:45Wrapped in a dark wool shawl
10:47Holding a stuffed bag
10:49What are you doing here?
10:51To see Selena
10:52Her voice was low and gravelly
10:54Like stones grinding together
10:56She didn't wait for an invite
10:57She just walked right in
10:58As always
10:59She set the bag on the table
11:01Apples
11:01Four of them
11:02Bright red and perfectly round
11:04A small pouch of candied fruit
11:06A jar of blackberry jam
11:07It's her birthday tomorrow
11:09I wanted to be with her
11:13She's resting
11:14I'll tell her you stopped by
11:16Where is Amber?
11:18The question sliced the air
11:19Mom stopped
11:24She's in her room
11:26Doing her homework
11:27Grandma said nothing
11:28She just stared at Mom with those pale grey eyes
11:31She had once been the Pax Luna
11:33And those eyes had seen things others couldn't
11:35Homework
11:36Grandma repeated flatly
11:39I'll go see her
11:40Mom, wait!
11:43Mom blocked the hallway
11:44Standing in Grandma's way
11:45She's been acting out lately
11:48I put her in the cellar to calm down
11:50Just for a little while
11:51Mom's voice went up
11:53Just like when she lied
11:54Grandma stood perfectly still
11:56Just until tomorrow
11:57You know how she is
11:58She's just jealous of Selena
12:00She always tries to ruin everything
12:02Especially on a night like tonight
12:04You locked that child in the cellar
12:09Mom wanted to explain but said nothing
12:12Grandma's face darkened
12:14Inch by inch
12:15She took a step forward and Mom flinched
12:18Eleanor
12:18Grandma's voice was very, very soft
12:21But even louder than screaming
12:23Amber is your daughter too
12:24I know, but Selena
12:26Yes
12:27I know about Selena
12:29I have known since the day she was born
12:31The day that cursed clock appeared above her head
12:34I know you love her
12:35I know you want to give her everything before she leaves
12:38I know every minute with her is like water in your palms
12:41Ready to slip away at any moment
12:44But what about Amber?
12:46What has Amber ever had?
12:48Selena's handy downs patched and repatched
12:51Two pairs of shoes for the entire year
12:53Even your love
12:55You couldn't bear to give that
12:59You measured it out like it was something that would run dry
13:03You gave Selena the river
13:05And left Amber only the drops
13:07It's not like that
13:08I didn't
13:09Now, now on the last night
13:10You won't even let them see each other
13:13Selena is dying
13:15And Amber is her only sister
13:16Her only sister, Eleanor
13:18The only person in this house
13:21That Selena ever chose to love
13:23Not out of duty
13:25Not because of the clock
13:26But because she wanted to
13:30She grabbed mom by the shoulders
13:32Her fingers digging in
13:34You really think Selena can rest in peace
13:36Knowing her little sister is locked in a cellar?
13:40Is this the last memory, Emma
13:41You want her to have and die along with it?
13:47Mom slid down the wall
13:48And collapsed on the floor
13:49Curling into a ball
13:51I just wanted Selena to be happy tonight
13:54I didn't want Amber to ruin it
13:57I just wanted one night
13:59A perfect night
14:02Night deepened
14:03In the living room, no one moved
14:06Mom sat on the floor with face buried in her knees
14:09Dad sat in his chair, staring into space
14:12His hands hanging limp
14:14Grandma sat on the sofa
14:16Her back straight
14:17Eyes fixed on the cellar door
14:19At the end of the hallway
14:20Go get some sleep
14:22She finally said
14:23Her voice hoarse
14:25I just couldn't
14:26Dad didn't even react
14:28Grandma sighed
14:29She stood up slowly
14:31Walked to the storage room door
14:33And sat down on the floor
14:34Amber, grandma's here
14:37Don't be afraid
14:38My tears fell like rain
14:40Time passed by
14:41The fire in the hearth died out
14:43Moonlight crept through the window
14:46The sky brightened
14:47From black to charcoal
14:49From charcoal to slate
14:51Grandma walked to Selena's door
14:53She raised her hand to knock
14:55Hesitated
14:56Then stopped
14:57Finally, she spoke in a whisper
14:59Selena, it's time to wake up
15:01There were sounds inside
15:02And the door opened
15:03Selena stood there
15:05Alive
15:06I looked at the clock above her head
15:09The numbers had hit zero
15:11The numbers had hit zero
15:15But she was standing there breathing
15:17Her face was flushed with life
15:19Which I'd never seen in years
15:21Grandma?
15:22Mom?
15:23Dad?
15:23She looked down at her hands
15:25Turning them over
15:26Flexing her fingers
15:28I'm still here?
15:30Mom was laughing
15:31And sobbing
15:32And howling all at once
15:34She lunged at Selena
15:35Clinging her tightly
15:36Dad stumbled over
15:38Trembling
15:38Burying his face in Selena's hair
15:40You're alive
15:42You're alive
15:43Above Selena's head
15:45The death clock was gone
15:46There was nothing but air
15:48The countdown vanished
15:49But Grandma
15:50Standing behind them all
15:51Her face suddenly went deathly pale
15:54She whipped around
15:55Staring at the cellar door
15:56Amber!
15:57Open the cellar!
15:58Now!
15:59She said in panic
16:00Right!
16:01Amber's still in there
16:02Let her out!
16:03Selena's alive!
16:04This is...
16:05Oh, it's amazing!
16:06We have to tell her!
16:07Dad strode down the hall
16:09A smile breaking through his tear-stained face
16:12Selena followed barefoot
16:14Amber?
16:15Amber, did you hear?
16:17I'm okay now!
16:18The clock is gone!
16:19I'm not going to die!
16:20Dad walked to the cellar door
16:22He grabbed the iron handle
16:23Pulled it open
16:24And stopped dead
16:25His entire body closed
16:27The joy drained from his face in an instant
16:29He backed away
16:31And flying to his mouth
16:33No
16:36No, no, no
16:38What is it?
16:40Mom pushed past him
16:41Thomas, what's wrong?
16:43Move!
16:44Let me...
16:44She stepped over the threshold
16:45And looked inside
16:46I was curled in the corner
16:48Wedged between a broken rocking chair
16:50And a pile of firewood
16:51My eyes were squeezed shut
16:53The bread Dad shoved under the door
16:55Is still there
16:56Untouched
16:57Amber...
17:02Amber, wake up
17:03Baby, open your eyes
17:06Mom's voice broke
17:07She knelt beside me
17:08Her trembling hand reaching out
17:10She gave my shoulder a little nudge
17:12My body was limp
17:13I just swayed a little as she pushed me
17:15Her hand slid from my shoulder to my cheek
17:17No
17:18No
17:19No
17:21Thomas!
17:22Amber, she's just...
17:23She's just cold
17:24She's just sleeping
17:25We need to warm her up
17:26Her fingers jerked back
17:28As if they'd been burned
17:29She threw herself backward
17:31Collapsing onto the floor
17:35Amber
17:36Amber, baby
17:37Mom's here
17:38Wake up
17:38Look at me
17:40Mom will make you roast rabbit
17:42A whole one
17:43Just for you
17:44I'll buy you that dress with the bow
17:46Remember?
17:46The one at the trading post
17:48We'll go tomorrow
17:49First thing
17:51Please open your eyes
17:53You can hit me
17:55You can scream at me
17:56I don't care
17:57Just open your eyes
18:00Dad knelt beside her
18:02He pressed two fingers against the side of my neck
18:04The pulse point
18:05The only place that matters
18:07His fingers stayed for five seconds
18:09Ten seconds
18:10Fifteen
18:11Then his hand dropped to his side
18:13And he let out a sound I'd never heard
18:16She's gone
18:19Eleanor
18:21She
18:21Don't say it
18:27She gathered my cold, rigid frame into her arms
18:30Rocking me
18:31She didn't
18:31She couldn't
18:32She was yelling last night
18:34She was calling for me
18:35She's right here
18:36Selene stood in the doorway
18:37She gripped the door frame
18:39Shaking all over
18:40She saw her parents huddled and weeping
18:42She saw that tiny, cold body in the corner
18:45Her lips trembled
18:48Amber?
18:49She whispered
18:50Then her eyes rolled back
18:52And she collapsed
18:52Selene!
18:54The cellar room was a total mess
18:58Selene woke up at noon
18:59Mom sat by her bed
19:01Her eyes swollen red
19:03Thank the goddess
19:04You're okay
19:05You're finally okay
19:07Selene opened her eyes
19:09She stared at the ceiling for a long time
19:11Where's Amber?
19:12Mom's lips trembled
19:14Fresh tears welled up instantly
19:16Spilling down cheeks already raw from crying
19:19Amber!
19:19She couldn't finish the sentence
19:21Selene bolted upright
19:23Throwing off the covers
19:24Wait!
19:25Selene, you just blacked out
19:27You need to rest
19:28Where's she?
19:30Her scream tore through the small house
19:33In the living room
19:36Your father is holding her
19:39Selene pushed her aside
19:40And ran barefoot down the hallway
19:42In the living room
19:44Dad was sitting on the floor
19:45With me in his arms
19:47He wasn't crying anymore
19:48He just stared into space with hollow eyes
19:51He held me stiffly
19:52Like I was fragile glass
19:54Or a lifeline he couldn't let go of
19:56Selene saw it
19:58And her feet skidded to a halt
19:59She stood there in the middle of the living room
20:02Looking at me
20:03Then at dad
20:04Just taking in the whole farce
20:08Amber has a fever
20:10She had a bad fever last night
20:12But I am cooling her down
20:16See?
20:17She is less hot already
20:20She is cooling down
20:21She just needs a sleep
20:23And she will be fine
20:25By tonight she will be running around again
20:28You know her
20:28Cannot keep still for a moment
20:34Dad
20:35Dad, look at me
20:36I am Selene
20:41No
20:42You are Amber
20:43Amber is feeling much better
20:45And will wake up soon
20:46Dad
20:47Amber is dead
20:48She is dead
20:49Do you hear me?
20:51You are lying
20:53She is not dead
20:54She is sleeping
20:56She is just tired from the fever
20:58And she needs rest
20:59And if you wake her up
21:00I swear by the goddess
21:12Grandma stepped out of the kitchen
21:13With a glass of water
21:15She went over to dad
21:16Crouched down
21:17And held out the glass of water
21:21Drink some water
21:22Dad looked at her
21:24But didn't move
21:26She set the glass down
21:31And gently began
21:33To pry his arm open
21:35Let go, Thomas
21:39Dad's hands were shaking
21:40But he didn't loosen his grip
21:43Mom
21:44He choked out
21:47Amber is not dead
21:48She was just
21:49Grandma cut him off
21:50She is dead
21:51Heavy tears streaming down
21:53Your daughter is dead
21:54You locked her in the cellar
21:56For a whole night
21:57She got blood fever
21:58She needed moonlight
21:59Open space
22:00Someone to hold her
22:01During her first transformation
22:03But she died alone
22:04In the dark
22:05On the cold floor
22:06Every word hit him
22:07Like a physical blow
22:08Dad's face contorted
22:10As tears burst from his eyes
22:12His whole body shaking violently
22:14He shook his head
22:15I don't know
22:17I thought she was faking
22:19I just wanted Selina
22:21To have a quiet night
22:22I don't know
22:23You know
22:29She called
22:30She said she hurt
22:31She said she had a fever
22:32You heard her
22:35Eleanor heard her too
22:36You just didn't believe her
22:38Mom stumbled out of the bedroom
22:40Frozen in the hallway
22:41She told you
22:42She banged on the door
22:44To tell you
22:44She was burning up
22:45She said she had a headache
22:47She begged you
22:48To let her out
22:49She stopped for a beat
22:51You all heard her
22:52You just didn't believe her
22:55A knock sounded
22:56Through the afternoon
22:57A sharp
22:58Rapid rapping
22:59Mom opened the door
23:01With swollen eyes
23:02There stood
23:03Margaret Thorne
23:04The pack's biggest gossip
23:06A basket of herbs
23:07On her arm
23:08And blatant curiosity
23:09Written all over her face
23:11Oh my Eleanor
23:12What's all that noise
23:13Half the pack can hear
23:13The crying
23:14She peeked past Mom
23:15Into the dim room
23:16Don't tell me
23:18It's Selina
23:19The clock
23:20Get out
23:21But Margaret stretched her neck
23:23And stood on tiptoe
23:24Trying to see past
23:25The hallway at Grandma
23:26Sitting in the living room
23:27Holding something
23:28Wrapped tightly in a blanket
23:29Oh poor thing
23:31I knew she wouldn't
23:31Live through the night
23:32Sure enough
23:33Grandma spoke flatly
23:34From the sofa
23:35Her voice void
23:36Of all emotion
23:36It's not Selina
23:38Margaret blinked
23:39In confusion
23:39Not Selina
23:41She drew closer
23:42Squinting at the small shape
23:43Held in Grandma's arms
23:44Who is it?
23:45Then she caught sight
23:45Of my face
23:46Her eyes widened in shock
23:48That's
23:48That's the little one?
23:49Amber?
23:51Amber's dead?
23:52How could Amber die?
23:54Wasn't Selina
23:55The one who was dying?
23:56Mom suddenly snapped
23:57She stepped forward
23:58Grabbed Margaret
23:59By the collar
23:59And pushed her hard
24:00The herb basket
24:01Went flying
24:02Spilling dried lavender
24:03And wolfsbane
24:04All across the porch
24:05Get out
24:06Get out of my house
24:09I didn't say anything wrong
24:11It's Selina
24:12Who's going to die anyway
24:13Doesn't your whole family
24:15Revolve around her?
24:16Good food
24:17Nice clothes
24:18All for her
24:19Now look
24:20The one who died
24:22Isn't the one who deserved it
24:24It's the one who shouldn't
24:25Shut up!
24:26Selina stepped out
24:27Into the hallway
24:28Barefoot
24:29Eyes red and puffy
24:30Trembling from head to toe
24:32You dare say her name?
24:33You dare talk about my sister
24:35Faced with the wild
24:36Heart-wrenching grief
24:37On Selina's face
24:39Margaret was instantly frightened
24:41She wisely held her tongue
24:42And hurried away
24:43With her scattered herbs
24:44Quietness settled heavily
24:46Over the cottage
24:48Grandma handled everything
24:50She washed me
24:51With warm
24:52Pine-infused water
24:53An old ritual
24:54Practiced by the earliest
24:56Wolf packs
24:56For the departed
24:58She dressed me
24:59In funeral clothes
25:00Brought from the old lands
25:01Soft white linen
25:03Embroidered with delicate
25:04Silver blossoms
25:05Along the collar
25:06It was the most beautiful
25:07Garment I had ever worn
25:09The fabric felt gentle
25:11Against my skin
25:12Softer than anything
25:13I had known in life
25:15As grandma carried me outside
25:17Those silver flowers
25:19Glistened faintly in the light
25:20Let me do it
25:21It should be me
25:23Don't touch her
25:24Grandma never lifted her eyes
25:26You do not deserve
25:27To touch her now
25:28Mom leaned weakly
25:30Against the wall
25:30And sank slowly to the ground
25:32The farewell ceremony
25:34Took place at an altar
25:35Hidden deep within the territory
25:37Encircled by dense oak woods
25:39I rested inside
25:40A tiny pine coffin
25:41Clad in the white burial gown
25:43Grandma had prepared
25:44The tiny silver flowers
25:45On the collar
25:46Shimmered faintly beneath
25:47The dull daylight
25:48Kneeling beside the altar
25:50Mom stretched out her hand
25:51Longing to touch my face
25:53For the very last time
25:54Grandma gently held her back
25:56The pack elder walked over
25:58Leaning on his wooden staff
25:59Dressed in faded ceremonial robes
26:02His white hair drifted like
26:03Wispy smoke amid the misty rain
26:05He took the torch
26:07Glanced up at the overcast sky
26:09Without a single glance
26:10At anyone present
26:11And murmured an ancient prayer
26:13Under his brow
26:14After that
26:15He held the flame
26:16To the edge of the pine wall
26:17Flames lapped at the wood
26:19Timidly
26:21Mom lunged for the fire
26:27Three pack members
26:28Held her back tightly
26:29She thrashed
26:30Kicked and screamed
26:31Until her voice
26:32Barely sounded human
26:33Dad was slamming his head
26:35Against the ground
26:36Once
26:37Twice
26:37Again
26:38Blood oozed from his forehead
26:41Blending with the rain
26:42And staining the mud
26:43Beneath him pink
26:45Selena stood apart
26:46From them all
26:47She did not cry
26:48She simply watched the flames
26:50Devour the small box
26:52That held me
26:52Little by little
26:54I hovered in midair
26:55Witnessing everything
26:57I gazed at my elder sister
26:59That damned countdown
27:00Was gone for good
27:01Her face pale
27:02Yet full of life
27:04There was nothing there
27:05Then glanced above her head
27:07It was alright
27:08My sister was alive
27:09My death had not been in vain
27:11At the very least
27:13She survived
27:14The old wolves always said
27:15A life for a life
27:16And this time
27:17The goddess had taken mine
27:19In exchange for hers
27:20When the farewell ritual ended
27:22Grandma took hold of my ash urn
27:24She wrapped it gently
27:25In the soft inner fleece
27:27Of her shawl
27:27And held it close to her heart
27:29Mother
27:30Where are you taking her?
27:31Home
27:32To the old territory
27:34You can't
27:35She's our daughter
27:35We want her here
27:37With us
27:38So we can visit her
27:39Mom dropped her
27:40Music
27:40Please
27:41I'll visit her grave
27:43Every day
27:44I'll leave flowers
27:45Every full moon
27:46I need her with me
27:47I need to be close to her
27:48You need her now?
27:50Grandma stared down at the woman
27:52Clinging desperately
27:53To her legs
27:53Her tongue was cold as ice
27:55Where was this need
27:57When she was alive?
27:58It was quiet
27:59But where she was posted
28:00All of her
28:02I'm sorry
28:03I know I'm sorry
28:07Sorry?
28:08Grandma laughed
28:09She's dead, Eleanor
28:10Dead in the cellar
28:12And now you want to talk
28:12To me about sorry?
28:15She pried mom's hands off her
28:17These ashes are mine
28:18You and Thomas
28:19Will never touch them
28:20You lived with a living
28:21Breathing child
28:22For sixteen years
28:23Who loved you
28:24Who only wanted
28:25A little of your attention
28:26And you threw her away
28:29Now she's gone
28:30And you don't deserve
28:31To have her
28:31She turned toward the path
28:32Dad chased after her
28:33Mother
28:34Grabbing her arm
28:35Please
28:35Give her back to us
28:37I'm begging you
28:38Grandmother stopped
28:39In her tracks
28:39And slowly turned around
28:40She looked at her son
28:42At his bleeding forehead
28:43And his shattered face
28:44For a second
28:45A flash of pity
28:46Crossed her eyes
28:47Then it vanished
28:48Let go Thomas
28:50Mother
28:51Mother
28:52I said let go
28:54Grandma pulled away
28:55Adjusted the box
28:56In her shawl
28:57And disappeared
28:58Into the rain
28:59She didn't look back
29:00Not once
29:02Mom collapsed
29:03In the mud
29:03Dad fell beside her
29:05They clung to each other
29:06And howled
29:06Real or foul
29:08Primal
29:08Beastly
29:09And completely broken
29:10Selina stood under
29:11The ash tree
29:12Watching grandmother's
29:13Small figure
29:14Vanish into the grey woods
29:16She looked up
29:17At the weeping clouds
29:18And for a moment
29:19I thought she was looking
29:21Right at me
29:22Selina sat on the ground
29:23Hugging herself tight
29:25And buried her face
29:26In her knees
29:29The rain fell harder
29:31Grandmother returned
29:32To the old land
29:32By carriage
29:33It was a three hour journey
29:35Through dense forests
29:36Following a river
29:37That smelled of moss
29:39And cold stone
29:39I drifted beside her
29:41The whole way
29:42Watching her face
29:43She didn't cry
29:44Her jaw was set
29:45Eyes fixed straight ahead
29:47Her hands steady
29:48On the reins
29:49She looked like
29:50Who she used to be
29:51A luna
29:52The wolf that had led
29:54A pack through
29:54Three years of famine
29:56And a territory war
29:57But I could see her thumb
29:58Stroking the wooden box
30:00Hidden beneath her shawl
30:01A bottomless grief
30:02Tucked away inside
30:03It was dark
30:04When we returned
30:05Her cottage was small
30:07And weathered
30:08A single room
30:09With a stone fireplace
30:10A narrow bed
30:11A table
30:12And two chairs
30:13It was the kind of place
30:15That smelled of dried sage
30:17Pine sap
30:18And the trace
30:19Of decades of living
30:20She started a fire
30:21The flames caught quickly
30:23Casting a warm glow
30:24Against the walls
30:25She placed the box
30:27On the table
30:27Right in the center
30:29Then she lit
30:29Three white candles
30:30The old fashioned kind
30:32Made of beeswax
30:33That burned slowly
30:35The flames held steady
30:36Grandmother stood
30:37Before the table
30:38For a long time
30:39And then
30:40She looked up
30:41Directly at me
30:42Ambie
30:42Come here sweetheart
30:44I froze
30:47I froze
30:48Grandmother
30:49I mouthed
30:50You can see me
30:51She nodded
30:52I've always been able to
30:54She said
30:54Since I was a girl
30:55The moon touched me
30:57When I was born
30:58Or that's just what
30:59People always said
31:00I see things
31:01Others don't
31:03She reached out her arms
31:05Come child
31:05Come to grandmother
31:07Tears I thought
31:09Were long gone
31:09Welled up
31:10I drifted toward her
31:12Rushing so fast
31:13That my body
31:14Passed right through her
31:15I stood in front of her
31:16Looking down at my
31:17Transparent useless hands
31:19She held the air
31:20Where I was supposed to be
31:22It's alright
31:23She whispered
31:24Little one
31:25Her voice growing husky
31:26I can feel you
31:28Right here
31:29She closed her eyes
31:30A drop of tear
31:31Escaped from her wrinkled eyelids
31:33Sliding down her cheek
31:35To splash against the floor
32:04I drifted back into the space
32:06Stressed then toward the ceiling
32:07Then I made a small drifting motion
32:10With my fingers
32:10Like a falling leaf
32:15Grandmother understood immediately
32:16Unmoored
32:17Unfloated
32:18She whispered
32:19Nowhere to land
32:21I nodded
32:22She reached out
32:23Trying to stroke my hair
32:24Her fingers passed through my head
32:26And she slowly lowered her hand back
32:28I know sweetheart
32:29I know
32:30She stood up
32:31Her knees creaking
32:33And walked to a small cupboard
32:34In the corner
32:35She came back holding an apple
32:37A whole apple
32:38Here
32:38Eat sweetheart
32:39I don't have much
32:40But this is a sweet apple
32:42I picked it from the tree
32:43Behind the house this morning
32:45I've been saving it for you
32:46I stared at that apple
32:48In my eight years of life
32:49I had never had a whole apple
32:51To myself
32:52There was always Selena
32:53Always a knife slicing it in two
32:56The larger half going to her
32:57A thin slice going to me
32:59I'm not really hungry Amber
33:00She always trying to give me
33:02Bites of hers
33:04Have mine
33:06Trying to make up
33:07For what others had stolen from me
33:08But I had never
33:10Ever
33:10Had a whole apple
33:11A complete
33:12Perfect
33:13Uncut one
33:14All mine
33:14I drifted toward the table
33:16I couldn't eat it
33:18But I could smell it
33:19Its sweet scent
33:20Filled the space around me
33:21Is it sweet?
33:23I nodded
33:24Even though she couldn't see me clearly
33:26She smiled
33:27And then that smile
33:28Broke into a sob
33:29She whispered
33:30Great
33:31That's great
33:32Wiping her eyes
33:33With her shell
33:33As if she were angry
33:34At herself for crying
33:35Then she sat down across from me
33:40She talked all night
33:41She told me when I was three
33:43When she came to see me
33:44Asked for a story
33:45Asked for a story
33:47I climbed into her lap
33:48And asked for a story
33:49So she told me the tale of the mother wolf
33:51And the falling star
33:52Until I fell asleep in her arms
33:54When I was four
33:56It was winter
33:57I caught my first fever
33:58She stayed up for three nights
34:00Pressing damp cloths to my forehead
34:02And humming ancient moon hymns
34:04Until the fever was gone
34:05When I was five that summer
34:07My parents finally let her take me
34:08To the old territory for a week
34:10Just me
34:11Without Selena
34:11I had run wild
34:12Through the meadows
34:13Chasing rabbits
34:14Returning to the cottage
34:15Filthy and stained with grass
34:17Laughing until I was breathless
34:19Your laughter lasted the whole week
34:21Grandmother said
34:22Just after that week
34:23I never heard you laugh like that again
34:27I remembered every single thing
34:30She kept talking and talking
34:32Her voice grew softer
34:33And her eyes heavier
34:34The candles burned until turned into a small pools of wax
34:39Outside
34:40The sky began to brighten
34:41The edge of the horizon turned a dull gray
34:44Then silver
34:45Then the palest gold
34:46Grandmother stopped talking
34:48She looked at me
34:49And I knew she couldn't see me clearly anymore
34:51My edges were blurring
34:52Amber
34:53She whispered
34:54You're leaving, aren't you?
34:55I nodded
34:56She closed her eyes
34:57When she opened them again
34:58That's good
34:59You've suffered enough
35:00They were wet
35:01She was smiling
35:02Listen to me
35:02When the moon goddess
35:04Sends you out again
35:05Choose better parents
35:06Find someone who will hold you
35:08When you have a fever
35:08Find a father who will give you
35:10The whole apple
35:11Don't come back to this house
35:12There is nothing left for you
35:13Find a family who will truly want you
35:15From the very first day
35:17Grandma
35:17I said soundlessly
35:18I love you
35:21I'm right here, sweetheart
35:23I love you too, my Amber
35:25You were the best child
35:27The first ray of sunlight
35:28Pierced through the window
35:29It fell on me
35:30They had almost vanished
35:31I reached out
35:32Trying one last time
35:33To touch her cheek
35:34Her wrinkled skin
35:35Her tears
35:36Grandmother buried her face
35:37In her hands
35:38And began to sob
35:39I turned toward the window
35:40My body drifted uncontrollably
35:42Toward the light
35:43Higher and higher
35:44Further and further away
35:48The cottage became smaller
35:50The forest covered the whole land
35:52The entire land shrinking into a tiny patch
35:55Then I passed through it all
35:57The world turned soft white
35:59An ancient, solemn voice resounded
36:01Little wolf
36:02Do you want to try again?
36:05I thought of grandmother's apple
36:06The whole one
36:08Mine
36:08I thought of Selena's thin arms shielding me
36:11The shining candy in her palm
36:13Her voice saying
36:15I'm sorry
36:15I'm sorry, Amber
36:16I thought that teardrop mom left on the cellar's floor
36:19Mom holding my cold body
36:21Howling beside the altar
36:23I thought of grandmother closing her arms
36:26To embrace the void
36:28Yes, Ed
36:28I want to try again
36:30The warmth wrapped around me like a blanket
36:33As I closed my eyes, I felt it
36:36Grandmother lifted her head
36:37Run free, little wolf
36:39She smiled
36:41Goodbye, Grandma
36:42In the next life, I promise
36:43I will find a pack that loves me from the start
36:46And I will have the whole apple
36:48Every single time
