Short filmTranscript
00:02The Christmas lights in the city are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, Carmen.
00:08Come on, you can't deny that you're at least the tiniest bit curious.
00:12You know we mustn't.
00:14Not even to pick up some more books?
00:16You've re-read that one like ten times.
00:18This one is my favorite.
00:20You're such a hopeless romantic, Carmen.
00:23You know you'll never meet a man who reaches those standards in this tiny city.
00:27Not even Marcy?
00:28For the love of God, Carmen, tell me you haven't resorted to actually marrying him.
00:33It's been decided for me.
00:34Exactly.
00:35You don't want to fall in love for yourself, the slow and beautiful way.
00:40The elders have everything planned out for us.
00:42We'll live, marry, and die in this little city without seeing the outside world.
00:47You've already seen it.
00:49It was like the first breath of fresh air.
00:51The way that the Christmas lights shone.
00:53They had little decorated cakes in these things called bakeries along the streets.
00:57Oh, Carmen, if you only saw the clothes that they wore.
01:00It's so much more stylish than these.
01:03Centuries ago, the elders prayed to Sibbele.
01:05The hidden city of Eden was created, and leaving became forbidden.
01:09I don't know, Pa, May.
01:12In a month, you're to be wed.
01:13Then eventually you'll have children.
01:15And after that, you'll live a blissful and boring life here.
01:19It's not at all as they described, Carmen.
01:21I even have some human money to spend.
01:24You can buy some books and look around the markets.
01:26The Christmas lights are the prettiest thing I've ever seen.
01:29And we can go late at night.
01:31Live for once.
01:32Carmen, live for yourself.
01:34Very well.
01:35When?
01:36We can go in two days after the Christmas celebration.
01:39And slip away from the party as if we went to rest.
01:42And if my father comes to check on me?
01:44I'll be staying at yours, and you'll be staying at mine.
01:47We definitely won't be caught.
01:48I can't believe I'm doing this.
01:50Good morning, Dad.
01:52Good morning, daughter.
01:55What are you thinking about?
01:56I was daydreaming about the outside world.
01:59Those books will only encourage something you can never see, Carmen.
02:02Yes, but why?
02:03The time of wars has passed.
02:04Are we supposed to live out our entire lives here?
02:07Yes.
02:10Your mother was a curious soul who ventured into the outside world.
02:14She didn't come back.
02:16That evil world of selfish and little-minded people took her from us.
02:21I just wanted to see it once.
02:23Could something be beautiful and evil?
02:27My father thinks the outside world is dangerous.
02:32Fear is the main reason we have been stuck in here for years.
02:35I long to see the truth for myself.
02:39We'll have to be careful and mask our scent.
02:42Will they be able to tell?
02:43Even without masking, they might not even notice.
02:46We don't have a distinctive scent as fairy folk, but it's sweeter and more alluring than that of a human's.
02:51But we can never be too careful.
02:55No, not that one.
02:56I don't want the blue and red flowers together.
02:58Here, these white ones will complement it.
03:00The tables were set in the middle of the clearing.
03:02You two, I thought you'd never get here.
03:04I'm still lacking some of the herbs for the ritual.
03:06Can you two stop by Alice's and grab some chamomile and rose water?
03:09We'd be happy to.
03:11And don't overwork yourself, Jerome.
03:13Did I not say where to put those blue poppies?
03:17The city of Eden isn't exactly a city.
03:19It's more a vast living garden.
03:21We have houses, ponds, streams, and a few trades.
03:24An antique shop that sometimes brings in lost books.
03:27Currently, our runner is Marcy.
03:30Carmen, Pamela, how can I help you?
03:32Is it Marcy you're looking for?
03:34That's not necessary.
03:36Jerome sent us for rose water and chamomile.
03:38Oh, I was supposed to bring those down earlier.
03:42It's no bother.
03:43We can bring them down for you now.
03:45Is that Carmen?
03:48Indeed, it is.
03:50I'll walk you two back.
03:52What?
03:52You and your non-existent muscles?
03:54I'm appalled you'd view your future husband that way.
03:56Hey, when's the last time you went outside the village?
03:59The month is almost up, and then I'm back out again.
04:02Do you not like being outside of Eden?
04:03Each trip shows me how big the world we're missing really is.
04:06I've seen one not so different from here.
04:08People are kind and interesting, and their world is fascinating.
04:11Sometimes I'd never leave Eden.
04:12Other times I find it suffocating.
04:14But the elders are not to be disobeyed.
04:17I almost felt guilty for wanting to leave Eden.
04:20But I just want to see it.
04:21This way my curiosity will be satisfied.
04:23Then I'll come right back.
04:25Spend the rest of my life contentedly in the hidden city of Eden.
04:28Here you are, Jerome, as you requested.
04:30He is a keeper, Carmen.
04:32Hear that, Carmen?
04:32I am a keeper.
04:36Okay, guys, this looks good.
04:38I think we are okay for help until we start baking some of the cakes tonight.
04:41I'll lend a hand myself.
04:42Actually, I'm looking for someone who doesn't finish all the stuff they cook.
04:46Jerome, that's asking too much of me.
04:47You can rest now if you feel like it.
04:49Breakfast is almost ready anyway.
04:51I made some food for you.
04:52You know what?
04:53I really, really love chicken.
04:54You do not say.
04:56Look, the apple tree helped me grab them, Carmen.
04:58You are too short to reach the apples anyway, piff squeak.
05:02Marcy, I will eat all of your chicken.
05:05Cannot believe you would make a threat like that.
05:07We need to talk.
05:08I cannot right here.
05:09Would you mind if I talk to you?
05:11Marcy, now isn't exactly the best time.
05:13Carmen, I have very little time left.
05:15Okay.
05:15I cannot marry you, Carmen.
05:18Okay, are you okay though?
05:19I have fallen in love with someone else.
05:21Just not someone from Eden.
05:22She is gone, Carmen.
05:24I went to meet her a few days ago.
05:25And her friends said that she just disappeared.
05:27I have to find her.
05:29Have you left Eden so many times?
05:30I know, this is stupid.
05:32But I can't control myself.
05:34It all happened so fast that I didn't even realize it.
05:37I know it's selfish and terrible, but I can't stay here, Carmen.
05:40I've seen all sorts of things outside and heard rumors about those places.
05:43We're trapped here, Carmen, just like animals.
05:45They say it's to protect us, but who exactly is it protecting?
05:49What happens when war spreads again and this forest burns in a fire?
05:52The city will be lost and our people will die in seconds.
05:55Marcy, my mother had left and never returned.
05:58We are not free in here, Carmen.
06:00When will you leave?
06:01Tomorrow night.
06:02So are Pame and I.
06:04We've long planned to sneak out.
06:05I just want to see the world outside.
06:07Maybe we can even help you find your long-lost lover.
06:10Absolutely not.
06:11I am not dragging both you and Pamela into my mess.
06:14I will help you two sneak out, but before the night is over, you must come back unnoticed.
06:19Marcy, you will never be allowed back in?
06:21I have to find her, Carmen.
06:22It's settled.
06:23Tomorrow night, Pam, Marcy, and I will sneak out of the city of Lost Eden and enter the world that
06:29many condemn and disdain.
06:30I just want to see it once to experience it once.
06:33A bird can only see the outside world if it's trapped in a cage.
06:39I cannot believe that idiot would fall in love with someone outside of Eden.
06:43It is romantic, I think.
06:45Yes, a forbidden love that gets you cast out of the city and possibly killed.
06:49How utterly romantic.
06:54I have never felt such excitement, Carmen.
06:59It will be fine, Carmen.
07:01You two look gorgeous.
07:02Are you okay to stay at Pamela's tonight?
07:04I will not be home until late after the festivities.
07:07Yes.
07:10My, I still remember when you two were small children.
07:12Time moves so quickly.
07:16Good evening.
07:21Would you do me the honors?
07:23Yes.
07:24Are you two set for tonight?
07:25You having the masking potion?
07:26Why, of course, darling.
07:30Did you taste the chocolate ganache?
07:32And probably ate half of it in the process, I suppose.
07:35I pray the gods will keep showing us their kindness.
07:39That is all.
07:40You may return to the party.
07:42I do not feel too well.
07:43I think I might go back to the village and rest.
07:46Are you okay?
07:47Would you like me to walk back with you?
07:49No, that is all right.
07:50I think I am just a little tired.
07:52I did not sleep well last night.
07:54Very well.
07:55I will see you sometime tomorrow.
07:58Are you ready?
08:01Keep all your dreaminess until we reach the human world.
08:04We have to focus now.
08:06It will help with your scent, just in case.
08:08Ready?
08:09It is over here.
08:12This is the border to the city of Eden.
08:14I can feel it.
08:15We step through here and then we will be in the human world.
08:18It is exactly the same to return.
08:20I breathe deeply before stepping through.
08:24We have stepped out.
08:28The outside world felt exactly the same as the city of Eden.
08:31I do not know what I was expecting.
08:33The air to feel different.
08:35The only difference was the sheer adrenaline that ran through my veins.
08:38Oh my God, it is so pretty.
08:40Is it everything you expected?
08:43Come on.
08:43Here, these are amazing.
08:51Thank you for convincing me to come tonight.
08:53Watch, the wolves are starting to come in.
08:56Can we go listen?
08:57After we can go on the big wheel?
08:59Wait, we go up in that thing?
09:01You are actually serious, oh my God.
09:04Do not tell me you are actually scared of this.
09:06Look at it.
09:07Even the trees of Eden do not reach that height.
09:10Stepping into town, my body instantly froze.
09:13That scent of wild lilac and morning grass, I had searched for four years.
09:18It was her, my mate.
09:19I almost lost control and rushed to her, but I had to stay calm.
09:23I was hesitant to come, but vampire sightings unsettled me.
09:27Werewolves and humans coexist harmoniously here.
09:30We protect them, they accept us.
09:32As an alpha, I ask for nothing more.
09:35As one of the ten alphas, I have waited long for my mate.
09:38At 22, she finally found her in my hometown.
09:41In that moment, I longed to find her immediately,
09:44but had to stay calm, letting things unfold naturally.
09:47You okay, man?
09:48I do not want to scare her away, you moron.
09:51I cannot risk this.
09:52She is here.
09:54Our Luna.
09:54I follow the scent carefully.
09:56Seeing that, it led towards me, the fair is weird.
10:01Do not be scared, Carmen.
10:03This is the least scary night of evening, if anything.
10:06Wow, it is beautiful.
10:09His golden eyes revealed him to be a werewolf.
10:12Chiseled features, dark brown curls.
10:14So handsome.
10:15I was lost in fantasy until pain's whisper pulled me back to reality.
10:19Carmen!
10:20That wolf is staring at you very intensely.
10:22After this, you guys gotta go.
10:24What the fuck?
10:35Just our luck to come in the middle of a vampire attack.
10:37Do not look.
10:38End of the road, guys.
10:39Dude, you must be joking.
10:41Can you not send us up again?
10:42I cannot let two beauties get away now, can I?
10:48You are going to have to do a little more than kick me, loves.
10:58Mate.
11:00I have been looking for you.
11:02Mate.
11:03My mind flashed back to the book I read about werewolves.
11:06The magic of the mate bond.
11:08Soulmates.
11:09Two pieces that fit inexplicably together.
11:11The other half of your soul.
11:13Carmen, what is going on?
11:15There must be some kind of mistake.
11:17There is no mistake.
11:18I am the alpha of the Willow Creek.
11:20And you, my love, are my mate.
11:22The name rang a bell.
11:23Vaguely, I believed it was one of the main packs of the country.
11:26This realization only sent shivers through my body as the full extent of what was happening
11:30dawned on me.
11:31I do not even know your name.
11:33Garfield.
11:34Jesus.
11:35Do not be afraid, my love.
11:37This is one of the best things you will ever experience.
11:40I will not pressure you into anything.
11:42We can take it at your pace.
11:44That did not sound like it corresponded to what I had read about their kind.
11:48I pushed myself out of the seat and out of his grip, grabbing onto Pamela's wrist as
11:52I dragged her down after me.
11:53I think she got the memo as we began to sprint through the town in the direction of the forest.
11:58Wait.
11:59Carmen.
12:00I saw to my dismay that the wolves had brought the entrance of the city.
12:04I let out an exasperated growl and turned down random alleyways until I was completely
12:08lost.
12:09I turned to Pamela only to see that she was no longer with me.
12:12Something felt off.
12:14Maybe it was my fear at being alone in a strange city.
12:17I was so overwhelmed and defeated that I almost cried and wished I had never left Eden.
12:24I walked quietly down the deserted street, feeling uncertain and afraid.
12:28I did not know what to do now.
12:29Perhaps hide a while and try to go back to the entrance.
12:32I only hoped Pamela had made it back to the forest.
12:35It is dangerous to wander by yourself, little one.
12:45I should have gone to Specsavers.
12:47Come on.
12:48I'm not half as tasty as I look.
12:50I beg to differ, love.
13:07Stop.
13:09Finish it.
13:11I watched his life leave his body.
13:13I mourned the loss of a mate I never had the chance to meet.
13:17Shut up.
13:17Let her mourn.
13:18She will soon follow.
13:19I am so sorry, Carmen.
13:21I tried.
13:22I tried to save you.
13:24No.
13:26Nymphs have remarkable healing powers.
13:28I had practiced in Eden, on a fallen bird, on Pamela.
13:31I knew I could save his life.
13:33I focused on all the energy bubbling up inside my soul and I gathered it in the palms of my
13:38hand.
13:38I heard the gasps and disbelief of the vampires behind me as a green glow emitted from my hands
13:43and I focused it over his chest.
13:45Feeling his body begin to patch itself up until my hands.
13:48I could feel the cells that made his body come together and repair.
13:52Breathing in the magic that I poured into his body until he was patched up again, I fell
13:56back cold and trembling.
13:58Well, this is a game changer.
14:00I was grabbed from behind and pulled from his unconscious body, down the cold street away
14:04from the mate who laid cold and unmoving but alive.
14:08That's the seventh hole you've punched in four days.
14:10You'll find her, Garfield.
14:12They're keeping her alive.
14:13They're keeping her alive because of what she can do.
14:16But I have no idea what kind of suffering she's enduring, all because I failed to save her.
14:22You were against eight vampires.
14:23It's a miracle you weren't killed.
14:25But I have to ask, what exactly is she?
14:28She's my mate.
14:29That's all there is to it.
14:31No ordinary person has those healing abilities.
14:34Plus, her scent human, but sweeter.
14:37Something was off.
14:38Son, I heard about the attack.
14:41Two wolves injured, six humans dead.
14:43It wasn't your fault, Garfield.
14:45It's not the attack, father.
14:46I found my mate last night.
14:51The vampires overpowered me.
14:53I was second from death.
14:55Then she put her hands over me.
14:56A green glow emitted from her hands, and she healed me.
14:59Alan, describe her to me.
15:01With all due respect, sir, wouldn't the alpha be better suited for this?
15:04No.
15:05The mate bond warps his reality.
15:07I need to know what you saw.
15:08Was there anything odd?
15:10Haunting.
15:11Unearthly beauty.
15:12She smelled human, but more alluring.
15:15Captivating.
15:15I think you may have encountered a forest nymph.
15:18Where am I?
15:19Not a cell, a guest room?
15:25Where am I, please?
15:27Vampires took you.
15:28You're just outside South Dakota.
15:30Why am I not in a cell?
15:31Do they mean to harm me?
15:33This room does not mean safety.
15:35You would have been better off in the cells.
15:36What does that mean?
15:38It means you've been claimed by one of them.
15:42The strange girl's words resonated through my mind again and again.
15:46Claimed.
15:51He is waiting for you.
15:53Who?
15:54Master Cavan.
15:56Master?
15:57You would be careful not to take that tone with him.
15:59Cavan is one of the kinder ones.
16:01You are lucky.
16:02Anyone that kidnaps young victims, claims them, and then feeds on them is not kind.
16:08They will break your spirit.
16:09You are terrified of them.
16:11You are crazy not to be.
16:13Maybe I am.
16:18That will do, Miriam.
16:20You are dismissed.
16:22Hello, love.
16:23My name is Cavan.
16:24It is very nice to officially meet you.
16:29I picked a docile one.
16:30A lucky find.
16:32I wish I could say the same for mine.
16:34My eyes fell on the bruised and scared-looking girl sitting by his side, and I wanted to grab his
16:38steak knife and stab him through the throat.
16:41Where am I?
16:42Why, my love?
16:44You are home.
16:45Oh, dear God.
16:46I do not believe I understand.
16:48I have claimed you.
16:50You are mine now.
16:51You do as I say, and you do not question my authority.
16:55This was going exactly as I had planned.
16:57I understand.
17:00This is Lily and Darcy.
17:02It is a pleasure.
17:03We greet our guests, Lily.
17:05Hello?
17:06And these are the twins, Melissa and Shira.
17:10Hello.
17:13Tomato soup.
17:15Do not worry, love.
17:16His hand was gripping her arm tightly enough to bruise.
17:19Dark, angry welts stood out clearly against her white skin.
17:22She turned, glaring at him with as much fury and hatred.
17:25He derives some kind of joy from her pain.
17:28Pretty.
17:28Is not she?
17:30She would be prettier without all the bruises staining her skin, no?
17:35I could hear the venom in his voice before he spoke.
17:38I view it quite differently, Shira.
17:39Shira, she's like my personal human canvas.
17:42I can paint bruises and blood on her as I please.
17:45She's too helpless to stop me.
17:46I think she even enjoys the attention.
17:48She's becoming a masterpiece with every strike.
17:50I saw rage I had never seen enter her eyes, and I almost wanted to leave the table.
17:54Stop fucking twitching.
18:01My breath hitched as I registered the pure anger radiating off Darcy.
18:05I followed her quietly, intensely,
18:07my anxiety spiking at the wild look in her eyes.
18:12Your human needs to be taught manners.
18:15Like my docile little one.
18:17I wanted to shrug it off and spit out insults,
18:19but I just sat there looking dazed and afraid.
18:24Screams of anguish and terror shook the entire room
18:26and vibrated through my ears and body.
18:28Such a dramatic...
18:30Hum.
18:31We walked down the empty hallways I had come through earlier
18:34until he stopped outside a door.
18:36I guess he brought me to an empty study for fear that we'd be overheard.
18:39I had been planning what lies sounded the most believable all morning.
18:43So, what are you?
18:45What do you think?
18:46I just saw you bring a wolf back from the brink of death.
18:50It looked like magic,
18:51but you are not a witch.
18:53If you were something other than a normal human,
18:55it would entitle you to a security and protection
18:58that would highly profit you.
19:01And if I do not tell you?
19:02If I do not like those, I claim,
19:04they suffer.
19:05You would not.
19:06I like to be on the receiving end of that, no?
19:09I suppose not.
19:10Damn it!
19:11I am getting nowhere with you.
19:13I am not sure what I am.
19:14I have always had these capabilities,
19:16but I was hidden away for exactly that reason.
19:19Interesting.
19:20Where did you hide?
19:21In that little town?
19:22Yes.
19:23Carmen, are you telling me the truth?
19:26What reason would I have to lie?
19:28Very well.
19:29What are the names of your parents?
19:31Why?
19:32So I can cross-reference your information, love.
19:35Anna Cambridge.
19:36She is a baker married to Thomas Cambridge.
19:38I am going to double-check the information I am receiving.
19:42Carmen, are you even from that village?
19:44Everything I am telling you is the truth.
19:46You are dismissed.
19:48You should go help Lily clean herself up.
19:50After the stunts she pulled today,
19:53she is in the room across from yours.
19:55I left the room quickly.
19:58Lily.
19:59Ever heard of knocking?
20:00Oh, forgive me.
20:03Why are you here?
20:04I do not need your help.
20:05I've been patching myself up for weeks.
20:07If you're only looking to be friends with me,
20:10we clearly don't share the same mindset or aspirations.
20:13What makes you say that?
20:14The way you act, as if you were not kidnapped,
20:17and forced into coming here like a docile little girl.
20:20I am far from docile,
20:21but I know I have a better chance at escaping if I earn their trust.
20:25Nymphs can be very manipulative and coercive.
20:27It is something that is ingrained in us.
20:29Earn the trust of vampires?
20:31Or at least not be so badly hurt that I can barely walk.
20:34Nymphs can be very manipulative and coercive.
20:36It is something that is ingrained in us.
20:38You have been here for a day.
20:39You have Cavan.
20:40Cavan and Darcy are in every way different.
20:43I cannot avoid pain with Darcy.
20:45I do not want to fight with the only potential friend I might make here on the first day.
20:49We're in the same situation.
20:51Turning against one another would be one of the most unwise choices we could make.
20:56Okay, maybe you do have a little bit of sense.
20:58Driving you away would only benefit him.
21:00I could heal her, but I could not risk revealing that part of myself yet.
21:04So, what and who do you know so far?
21:06I have met Cavan, Darcy, and the twins.
21:08Try to win Cavan's trust.
21:10He is the kindest out of the others.
21:12The twins are okay, unless you get on their bad side.
21:16Darcy is just plain evil.
21:18Stay clear of him.
21:19You have not met the rest of us.
21:20Other than the servants, there are three more that are claimed.
21:24Ella and Simon.
21:25Ella and Simon siblings claimed by the twins.
21:27And Allison.
21:29Claimed by Paul.
21:30They are away for a few days.
21:31I met someone this morning.
21:33A girl in a sundress.
21:34That is Miriam.
21:35She does odd jobs.
21:36She is okay, but a bit weird.
21:38Do not let the others know you intend to escape.
21:41The longer you are here, the more brainwashed you become.
21:44I will not.
21:45So we need to form a plan to get the bloody hell out of here.
21:49Pamela and Masi stood unsure of what to do.
21:52They had been living with the wolves for the past 24 hours, refusing to return without Carmen.
21:56The Alpha had given them rooms in the packhouse instead of a cell and at least treated them with respect.
22:02The heavy oak door groaned as it slid over the marred wooden floor.
22:05Garfield stepped into the room, and Pamela could not help but notice the bags under his eyes.
22:12I am sorry for calling you here.
22:14I think it is time we had a talk.
22:15Pamela stayed silent while Masi was the one to stand up and voice his thoughts.
22:19Have you found her, or any leads?
22:21The Alpha gave him a tired and defeated look, but there was anger behind it.
22:25No.
22:26Pamela could still sense that Carmen was alive.
22:28Call it intuition, or something stronger that connected them.
22:31Even if you do find her, what do you plan to do with her?
22:35I do not understand the weird fascination you have with her.
22:38She is my mate.
22:40Do you have any idea what that is?
22:42I have a small grasp on it, but I do not fully comprehend it.
22:45A mate bond is sacred to my kind.
22:47It is a bond formed between a wolf and their chosen mate, chosen for them by the moon goddess.
22:52Carmen is my mate, the other half of my soul.
22:55Without her, I will eventually die.
22:58Without her, I feel empty and incomplete, and that will not fade until I find her.
23:02And you decided that gives you some kind of ownership of her?
23:05I never aspired to own her.
23:07I see her as my equal.
23:08All I plan to do is keep her protected.
23:10If you have never felt the mate bond, you would not understand.
23:14To part from me would damage her also, now that we have met.
23:17This sounds like absolute bullshit.
23:19Would you rather she died?
23:21I know it is difficult to understand, Pamela, but he speaks the truth.
23:24The mate bond is remarkable.
23:26The way he spoke of the bond was almost as if he had experienced it.
23:29I suppose I might mention that I am mated to one of your pack members.
23:32That is why I am here.
23:33You are mated to which member of my pack?
23:36Lily!
23:37Everything suddenly felt more complicated with yet another mate bond thrown into the mix.
23:42With Lily's help, I had determined that our chances of escaping were slim.
23:45It was not that security was tight, but they never gave us privacy or a chance to try.
23:50We had a set routine, breakfast with our masters, then locked in our rooms until lunch.
23:55The only free hour was between 5 and 6 in the common room under their watchful eyes.
24:00Most of my time was spent learning every nook and cranny of the room,
24:04down to the little cracks in the wall behind the cupboard.
24:06It was my third day here and I had not thought of anything.
24:09I did not have enough information to form a real plan.
24:12Kevin seemed okay for now, but it would not last.
24:15I had to escape before he decided I was settled in.
24:18I had decided that if I could get a message to Garfield, I would.
24:21I would much rather be in his arms right now.
24:24I felt a shiver of anticipation as I remembered his dark stormy eyes and the way my heart sped up
24:29around him.
24:32In Eden, I had only read about these feelings in human books.
24:35Now that I felt them, it both excited and terrified me.
24:38My heart yearned for a man I had only just met.
24:41If the mate bond was as magical as they said, should I really be running from it?
24:45But what if he was as insanely possessive as the books claimed?
24:48Nymphs are creatures of freedom.
24:50That kind of rain would suffocate me.
24:52I missed home.
24:53The wild fields of heather and lavender.
24:55My father's blueberry pancakes.
24:57Jerome wrapping tinsel around our Christmas tree.
24:59I missed the little pigeon on my window.
25:01The wild doe in the forest.
25:03The way I could ask them where the berries grew.
25:08Some nymphs are blessed with the power to speak to animals.
25:11I inherited it from my mother.
25:13Suddenly, an idea struck me.
25:14Could I not get a bird to deliver a note?
25:17It was risky.
25:18I did not even know where to tell it to fly or how far Garfield's territory was from here.
25:23It is six.
25:24Over the last three days, I had gotten to know Lily a bit better.
25:27I needed to know if she knew where the town was.
25:30Security was not exactly tight, but the vampires were observant.
25:33We were watched, not locked.
25:35Lily, do you know where the Littlewood pack is situated?
25:38Her eyes narrowed, and I felt I might have hit a sore spot.
25:42Why?
25:43I have an idea.
25:44I know a way to get a message there.
25:46The alpha of the pack will come to retrieve us.
25:49And why exactly would the alpha of my pack come to save you?
25:52I am mated to him.
25:53Luna, my deepest apologies.
25:55I was unaware.
25:56Please do not treat me any differently.
25:57I just need to get a note out.
25:59For that, I need to get outside.
26:01It is not impossible.
26:02But what exactly do you plan to do?
26:04Trust me.
26:05I know what I am doing.
26:07Fine.
26:07But only because I am desperate.
26:09I have a mate I want to get back to soon.
26:11I am afraid he is going to do something stupid like come to find me.
26:14What is his name?
26:16Marcy.
26:17Could it be?
26:18The chances were insane, but my gut screamed that it was the same Marcy I knew.
26:22Lily.
26:23Did Marcy come from the forest?
26:24From a little city called...
26:26Eden.
26:27Oh my God.
26:28You are one of them.
26:29No, holy shit.
26:30You are Carmen.
26:31One of his best friends.
26:32What the hell are you doing here?
26:34It is a long story.
26:36He ignored me at first.
26:37I blocked his path every day like an absolute fool.
26:41Then, just to chase him, I pretended to trip over a basket.
26:44The way he rolled his eyes when I twisted my ankle, it nearly killed me.
26:48But he sighed and carried me back anyway.
26:50I even forced him to watch a movie.
26:52The rest is history.
26:54So romantic.
26:55Just like a novel.
26:57Please.
26:58That is nothing compared to how you met Garfield.
27:00In the middle of a vampire massacre?
27:02And then you just ran for it?
27:04Don't remind me.
27:05I was terrified out of my mind.
27:08Our alpha has been waiting a long time.
27:10I'm glad it's you.
27:11What is he really like?
27:12Leader of the top ten packs.
27:14Took over at eighteen.
27:16Undefeated in combat, human or wolf.
27:17Those who questioned his age paid the price.
27:20He is a born ruler.
27:21I'm a nymph.
27:22I can't even kill a chicken.
27:24Will he be disappointed?
27:25But he's just a man.
27:27A man alone for four years.
27:29Ruthless to enemies, but gentle to his own.
27:31Story time is over.
27:33Back to your room, love.
27:34Hey, can I go out to the gardens tomorrow?
27:37Fresh air?
27:38Or trying to run?
27:39No, just want to see the flowers.
27:41I'm going stir crazy.
27:42Sure.
27:43I'll join you.
27:44Wear something pretty for me.
27:46His breath felt like a viper on my skin.
27:48Disgusting.
27:49Garfield makes my heart race, but this place suffocates me.
27:52Do I want love or just to go home?
27:55I wrote down my location, told Garfield I was safe.
27:58Hesitated, then added one last line.
28:00Human clothes are so warm.
28:02In Eden, the elders saw this comfort as a threat.
28:04Breakfast in a few minutes?
28:06You can head down.
28:11Idiot!
28:11Do you have a death wish?
28:13Please, Miriam.
28:14It's our only way out.
28:15This life, it's not living.
28:17I've been here five years, but I have a family.
28:19A sister, parents.
28:21Then help me.
28:22Just give it back.
28:23Pretend you know nothing.
28:24How will you deliver it?
28:25Birds, I can speak to them.
28:27Magic?
28:28And this Alpha, he'll save us?
28:29He will come.
28:31Too dangerous on you.
28:32Cavan sniffs like a dog.
28:34Cavan smiles at me more lately.
28:36That smile makes my skin crawl.
28:37Interesting.
28:38He hasn't even had a taste yet.
28:39Keep your hands off what's not yours.
28:42But mine is broken.
28:43So dull.
28:44Just checking.
28:45You seemed a bit too excited.
28:47Thank the gods for Miriam.
28:48My obedient little doe.
28:50Settling in well?
28:52Settled or not?
28:52I need to feed soon.
28:55That is why you're here, love.
28:57Is that it?
28:57You ripped me from my family.
28:59Treat me like a soulless blood bag.
29:01You want to abuse me like Lily?
29:02Cavan, I'm not stupid.
29:04I'm losing my patience.
29:05Let's try a different approach.
29:07What are you?
29:08How did you heal him?
29:11Cavan, calm down.
29:13You'll kill her.
29:14Get away now.
29:15She's mine.
29:16Jesus, you've completely lost it.
29:18He told me he wants to take me.
29:20Steal me from you.
29:22Stop stealing what's mine.
29:23Do it now.
29:24Run.
29:26The halls grew unfamiliar, stretching like a maze.
29:31Here's the note.
29:32I've been here a lot longer.
29:34I get certain perks.
29:39I need a messenger.
29:40Can any of you help?
29:42Is that human speaking?
29:43No, she is a nymph.
29:45I will deliver it, nymph.
29:47Where to?
29:47Littlewood werewolf pack near the north.
29:50To whom?
29:51To the alpha.
29:52I won't fail you.
29:55Aurora.
29:57Oh, no.
29:58What did you do?
29:59Run away.
30:00Leave me.
30:01We're in this together now.
30:03If I die, so be it.
30:04I refuse to live like this anymore.
30:06Lily, come here.
30:09I will not allow you to harm my Luna.
30:15Her hatred gave her strength.
30:23It would have been so much easier if you'd stayed the docile little doe.
30:32Let's make this more interesting.
30:34I wonder how you feel knowing it's your fault she's dead.
30:40No, no.
30:46A gift from the gods.
30:47We heal wounds, but we store them.
30:49And we can inflict...
30:51Feel his pain.
31:01We need to run.
31:02I've been holed up in these wounds for days.
31:05The only thing I feel is nothing.
31:07If I let my guard down, the memories slice through my soul like knives.
31:11Alpha, you've been holed up for days.
31:14You need air.
31:15I tried to grasp onto emptiness to block out the rage in my soul.
31:19Alpha, I think you should look at this.
31:21It's about the Luna.
31:24Luna.
31:29This is for you.
31:33Garfield, I'm in a manor outside South Dakota.
31:36Near the woods.
31:37Vampire territory.
31:38Lily is with me.
31:39Sorry I ran away.
31:41I was terrified.
31:42But I need your help, Aurora.
31:43How was this delivered?
31:45A bird.
31:46My little love used a bird to send a note.
31:48Are the warriors ready?
31:49On standby, Alpha.
31:53I know where she is.
31:55The vampire nest.
31:56Let's go get our Luna.
31:58Yeah, let's do that.
31:59Here is town.
32:00The wolves will pass through there.
32:02Fear chases us, but hope is ahead.
32:09Oh dear.
32:11Miriam?
32:15Wolves coming in hours.
32:17We need to hide.
32:18Andrea, this is it.
32:19Five years of torture didn't break her.
32:22It forged her into steel.
32:23Vampires after you?
32:25Son, come quickly.
32:29Tell the town.
32:31Stake out.
32:32Anyone saw them?
32:33Keeps their mouth shut.
32:37We kicked those fuckers out.
32:39Revive this town.
32:41So, you finally escaped those fuckers.
32:44Huh?
32:44An emotion ran through this room.
32:46Oh.
32:51How many medics do we have?
32:53Two here.
32:53One from the sub pack.
32:54A hundred rifty wolves with a few hundred staying to protect the pack.
32:57Good.
32:58Drive to the border.
32:59Then run the last seven miles.
33:01We need to be in peak condition.
33:02Also, Beta.
33:03I think you two might want to come to the cellar.
33:06Damn it.
33:06Not now.
33:12Those eyes.
33:13Her eyes.
33:15But filled with nothing but void.
33:17Who is he?
33:18Laken.
33:19I'm Carmen's father.
33:23The vampires have entered the town.
33:26They want all the humans in the square in ten minutes?
33:28I expected this.
33:29You three stay here and stay hidden.
33:36The waiting is torture.
33:37Can Garfield make it?
33:38It'll be okay, Luna.
33:40Call me Carmen.
33:41The title makes me feel awkward.
33:43As you wish, Carmen.
33:45Will he be able to defeat them?
33:47Garfield is a top leader.
33:48There may be casualties, but the vampires will not win.
33:51We sip tea while humans line up for judgment.
33:54The guilt eats away at me.
33:55We should hide.
33:56I feel like sitting ducks.
33:58No point.
33:59They'd sniff us out in seconds.
34:00They just can't pinpoint us yet.
34:02So what do you suppose they'll do?
34:07Don't think about it.
34:08Just hope the wolves get here first.
34:10We have surprise on our side.
34:15You think they'll believe we're here without a plan?
34:17Let's hope they do.
34:2320 minutes.
34:2420 minutes until what?
34:26They segregated the town in half.
34:2820 minutes to give you up.
34:30Or they slaughter half the population.
34:35His eyes were darting everywhere but at us, and I knew exactly why.
34:39Andrea hadn't come back.
34:41She was still out in that square.
34:43One of the people handed a death sentence in the next 20 minutes.
34:46If we didn't show.
34:48If they don't show in the next 20 minutes,
34:50I'll go.
34:52No one ever wants to be the one to sign someone's death warrant.
34:55But there was no way I'd let innocent people die for my sake.
34:59I couldn't speak for Lily and Miriam,
35:01but I wasn't about to sit here like a sitting duck
35:03while they butchered innocent people outside.
35:06I let out a long breath, feeling anger bubbling up in my chest, itching to be unleashed.
35:11I just couldn't wrap my head around how they could act like this.
35:15Stripped of any morality or humanity.
35:18To march into a town and threaten to wipe out half its people.
35:22To run wild and turn the fortress into a living nightmare.
35:25They knew exactly what they were doing and how to do it.
35:27And that just stoked the fire in me even more.
35:30It shocked me, honestly.
35:31I never thought of myself as an angry person,
35:34and yet I'd felt more rage and frustration.
35:36This past week than in my whole life in the city, or in Eden,
35:40I couldn't tell if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
35:42Had I just been living in a fantasy this whole time,
35:45and now here I was, thrown into the brutal reality of it all.
35:48Staring straight at the evil in this world.
35:51And somehow I'd become exactly what I swore I'd never be.
35:54A bird locked in a cage.
35:56But this time, it wasn't the elders holding the key to my cage.
35:59It was the vampires.
36:00I remembered Darcy's dead, cold eyes.
36:03I remembered Cavan's eyes, lit up with pure madness.
36:06I remembered every word they threw at us like knives.
36:08I was so done feeling helpless,
36:10so bitter at being treated like I was nothing.
36:12I'm going.
36:13Maybe it was a suicide mission.
36:15Scratch that, yeah.
36:17It was definitely a suicide mission.
36:19But right then, I was way too blinded by my rage to care.
36:22Luna, what are you doing?
36:23Get back inside.
36:24You can't do this.
36:25It'll be okay.
36:26I knew it wouldn't be.
36:27But something deep in my soul kept pushing me forward.
36:33What I saw next pretty much confirmed I'd made the right call.
36:37Darcy had both hands wrapped around a little kid's neck,
36:39the child sobbing in terror.
36:41Darcy.
36:42His gaze snapped to me, ice cold, merciless.
36:45But I already knew I wasn't powerless anymore.
36:47Darcy was in my face in seconds,
36:49and then I was airborne, tossed like a rag doll.
36:51My back slammed into the wall,
36:53white hot pain exploding down my side.
36:55I heard my shoulder crack and hiss through my teeth.
36:58How could you be such a freezing earth hole?
37:01Does scaring people out of their minds actually make you feel better?
37:04Does it make you feel powerful, terrorizing people who can't even fight back?
37:09You've mixed up fear with love, Darcy.
37:11If you're that starved for love, scaring everyone around you isn't the answer.
37:15They don't look up to you.
37:16They don't admire your power.
37:18They're just terrified of you.
37:20His fist crashed into my stomach and I stumbled back,
37:23only for his knuckles to smash into my mouth again and again.
37:26It's not them who's afraid, Darcy.
37:28It's you.
37:29You're terrified of never being loved,
37:31of being alone forever,
37:32of being left behind and forgotten.
37:34You're right, Carmen.
37:36I am scared of being unloved.
37:38But it's kind of ironic, isn't it?
37:40My soul's so soaked in darkness,
37:42no one could ever love me.
37:43Yeah, can't really argue with that.
37:45So where does that leave me, Carmen?
37:47Ever tried therapy?
37:49He slammed my body into a good measure
37:51and I felt one of my ribs snap under the pressure.
37:54Warmth started seeping into my hair
37:56and I watched my golden strands slowly turn red.
37:59Game over, Carmen.
38:02The pain hit first, sharp and blinding.
38:05But I didn't scream.
38:06My body went slack, my bones just refused to move.
38:10Everything suddenly felt so heavy.
38:12And then the darkness wrapped around me, soft and quiet.
38:14No pain, no guilt, no fear, no anger.
38:17Just peace.
38:18In those final moments, it hit me.
38:21I was dying.
38:22Panic flickered through me as the faces of the people I loved most flashed by.
38:27I almost wanted to laugh at the last image that popped into my head.
38:31I'd just turned nine,
38:32and decided I'd make pancakes for myself before my dad woke up.
38:36It started off so innocent,
38:37I totally forgot to put oil in the pan.
38:40Still,
38:41I stayed weirdly optimistic,
38:42grabbed a handful of blueberries from the fridge and tossed them in.
38:46Never even noticed the smoke filling up our tiny kitchen.
38:49Carmen, what on earth are you doing?
38:50How about I teach you how to make pancakes,
38:52so you don't burn the house down?
38:54I remembered my goofy little smile,
38:56the kindness in his eyes.
38:57Even after losing his wife,
38:59he poured his whole life into his only child.
39:01I tried to push back against Darcy's grip to fight my way out,
39:04but it was too late,
39:06and I slipped under,
39:06sinking into the dark.
39:08Come on, Carmen.
39:09Wake up.
39:09You are not dying in some damn alley.
39:12Everything hurts,
39:12but I'm not checking out.
39:14Not here,
39:14not now.
39:15Stay awake.
39:16I am not passing out again.
39:18Not giving him that.
39:19Body's done,
39:19but I am not letting go.
39:21Not yet.
39:22If this is all I've got left,
39:23then fine.
39:24I'll hang on with my damn fingertips.
39:26Time to sleep,
39:27Carmen.
39:28That voice again.
39:29No, no, no.
39:30Get it together.
39:31Move.
39:31Look at you, Carmen.
39:33Real classy.
39:34Bleeding out in a corner like trash.
39:36Thought you were out cold.
39:37Shame I didn't get to claim you.
39:39Get away.
39:40Just get away.
39:40Fighting him again is suicide.
39:42Focus, dammit.
39:43Can't see straight.
39:44Can't even feel my legs.
39:45Up.
39:45Come on, up.
39:47One step,
39:47then another.
39:48Just don't fall.
39:49Just keep moving.
39:50Empty streets are better than being anywhere near him.
39:53Every step sounds like a countdown.
39:55Great.
39:55Slow and pathetic.
39:57That's me.
39:58Where do you plan to run?
39:59Carmen.
40:00Anywhere you're not,
40:01that's where.
40:01Just get to the damn gates.
40:03Yeah, stare.
40:04Can't blame you.
40:05I don't even recognize myself.
40:06Look at this mess.
40:08If I saw me coming,
40:09I'd run the other way too.
40:10Little's still open up,
40:12see what the fuck she is.
40:13And I'm over here barely soon.
40:15Some of them are there.
40:16And how the hell are we supposed to win this?
40:20It smells like the whole town's been bled out and left to rot.
40:23That scream.
40:24They're still alive.
40:25We're not done yet.
40:26I'm not done yet.
40:27The wolves.
40:28The wolves are here.
40:30Finally.
40:31Someone's here.
40:32I don't have to hold this alone anymore.
40:33Of course.
40:34Should have known it wouldn't be that easy.
40:39I think it's time to end this, Carmen.
40:41He really thinks this is it for me.
40:43Over my dead.
40:44Well, yeah.
40:44That's the point, isn't it?
40:46No, no, no.
40:47Don't you dare touch me again.
40:48Wait.
40:49They're back.
40:50That can't be.
40:51Dad.
40:52It can't be him.
40:54Death?
41:03Please get up.
41:04Please.
41:05No, no.
41:05That sound.
41:06That snap.
41:07He's not getting up.
41:08I just watched my dad die and I can't even scream.
41:17And now even Darcy's gone.
41:19Ripped apart like he was nothing.
41:21What the hell is left after this?
41:23Of course it's him.
41:24Of course it had to be him.
41:26I don't even know if I should hold on or push him away.
41:29I'm so sorry, Carmen.
41:30I'm sorry it took me so long.
41:32Let them finish it.
41:33I can't take in one more thing.
41:34Not another scream.
41:36Not another scream.
41:37Whatever else is broken, he's warm.
41:39I shouldn't feel safe here.
41:40But I do.
41:41And that scares me even more.
41:43If I think too hard, I'll shatter.
41:45So don't think.
41:46Just breathe.
41:47In.
41:48Out.
41:48Match him.
41:49Stay here.
41:51Garfield.
41:52I know.
41:53There's nothing he can say that will make this hurt less.
41:56And nothing he says would reach me anyway.
41:59One thing's done.
42:00The vampires are finished.
42:01That part of the nightmare is over.
42:03But I can feel it.
42:04This was just the opening act.
42:06The real storm hasn't even started.
42:08First night with the pack.
42:10I didn't sleep.
42:11I just fell apart.
42:14Dad's gone.
42:15My mentor.
42:16My rock.
42:19The kindest soul I ever knew.
42:22Snuffed out.
42:26It's not fair.
42:27This is on me.
42:31He walked out of Eden after me.
42:33Just to drag my dumb ass out of trouble.
42:35He walked out of Eden after me.
42:35He walked out of Eden after me.
42:36He walked out of Eden after me.
42:37He walked out of Eden after me.
42:37He walked out of Eden after me.
42:38He walked out of Eden after me.
42:38He walked out of Eden after me.
42:38He walked out of Eden after me.
42:40He walked out of Eden after me.
