Short filmTranscript
00:00After I died, everyone realized the countdown above my sister's head was mine.
00:05Everyone in the pack could see the death mark above my sister's head.
00:09They all knew.
00:10She would die on her 20th birthday.
00:13We were twins, wearing the same face.
00:15And yet, only she had that countdown hanging over her.
00:18So Stella became the most precious person in our household.
00:22The good snacks were hers.
00:24The pretty dresses were hers.
00:25Even the bedtime stories mom and dad told belonged to her.
00:29I pitied her.
00:30And I resented her for having all of it.
00:33Then, her 20th birthday finally arrived.
00:36Afraid I would cause trouble, my parents locked me in the storage room.
00:40They had forgotten I'd been sick for a week.
00:43Mom, let me out! My head really hurts!
00:46That's enough. Your sister is dying today.
00:49Can't you manage for just one day?
00:52But I feel terrible.
00:55Outside, the entire pack had gathered around the house.
00:58Keeping silent vigil.
01:00From somewhere deep in the woods came the sound of howling.
01:04The clan sending Stella off.
01:06In the storage room, my wolf was fading with me.
01:40My body went suddenly weightless.
01:43Through the old wooden door, I could see the warm glow of the living room lights.
01:47Mom and dad were pressed close to Stella on the couch.
01:50Mom, dad, is Ivy really okay?
01:55I heard her say her head hurt.
01:57Don't worry about her.
01:58Exactly. She's not really sick.
02:01She's just putting it on for sympathy.
02:03Stella pressed her lips together and said nothing more.
02:06But the crease in her brow only deepened.
02:09I knew.
02:09She'd always felt she owed me something.
02:12For as long as either of us could remember,
02:14every bit of warmth in that house had been piled onto her.
02:17We were born on the same day,
02:20but we might as well have grown up in two different worlds.
02:23I had to watch and wait even for a bowl of hot vegetable soup,
02:26let alone new clothes or new toys.
02:29I was an adult now, but as thin as a 15-year-old.
02:32But Stella would always sneak her snacks and new clothes to me.
02:36Whenever mom and dad came down on me,
02:38she was always the first one to step in.
02:41She always said,
02:42Ivy, I'm sorry.
02:44It's because of me that you get treated this way.
02:46But our parents saw it differently.
02:48Right now, in fact,
02:50Have you already forgotten what happened on your 18th birthday?
02:52Stella's 18th birthday.
02:54That was the day our family,
02:56against all habit,
02:57splurged on a cream cake.
02:59Mom had lit the candles with careful, trembling hands.
03:03Dad held up the old camera he'd had for years,
03:06trying to capture one of the few birthdays Stella would ever have.
03:09I watched from behind the door.
03:11The candlelight caught Stella's face.
03:13She closed her eyes to make a wish.
03:15My parents blinked hard against their tears.
03:18And then I ran out.
03:20Maybe I just couldn't bear losing the one person
03:22who'd always been gentle with me.
03:24I grabbed the cake and overturned it.
03:27Cream smeared across the floor.
03:28I don't want to see you throwing her a birthday party!
03:31I still remember the look on my parents' faces.
03:35Stop! Dad, stop hitting her!
03:37It's my fault!
03:39This is my fault!
03:42That night, Stella crept into my room
03:44and pressed a small piece of chocolate into my palm,
03:47one she'd been saving away.
03:49There was a red welt on her wrist
03:51from where a chair had caught her when she got between us.
03:55Ivy, I'm sorry.
03:58I was already dead,
04:00staring dumbly at my own transparent fingers.
04:02The storage room door was still shut
04:04and saw myself curled among the clutter inside.
04:07My death had come before Stella's countdown memory came flooding back.
04:12When I was very small,
04:13before I knew the countdown to Stella's death had already begun,
04:17I had truly hated her.
04:19There was only one piece of candy in the house.
04:21It was Stella's.
04:22The only apple got sliced in two.
04:24The bigger half for Stella,
04:26the smaller for me.
04:27New clothes always went to Stella first.
04:30By the time they reached me,
04:32they were worn thin and patched over patches.
04:34Bedtime stories too.
04:36Hers.
04:36I would crouch outside the door with my arms around my knees.
04:40Why couldn't they read one to me too?
04:42One summer when I was five,
04:44a neighbor brought over a chicken.
04:46At dinner,
04:47mom carefully lifted both drumsticks
04:49and placed them in Stella's bowl.
04:51Why does Stella get both drumsticks?
04:53I want some too!
04:55I want some too!
04:56Ivy!
04:57What is wrong with you?
04:58Don't you know Stella isn't well?
05:00Don't you...
05:03Don't you know...
05:04Stella...
05:04I didn't know.
05:05All I knew was that Stella's face was always pale.
05:09Why don't you just die?
05:11Give me back all my things!
05:15Let her learn.
05:17Let her understand what she can and cannot say.
05:20Fifteen more years.
05:22The next morning,
05:23I eavesdropped on my parents talking.
05:24I know.
05:26Mom's voice was wet with crying.
05:30That was the moment I understood.
05:32Stella was really going to die.
05:34That number above her head,
05:36visible to every wolf in the pack,
05:38was her death mark.
05:39Now, mom and dad guided Stella back to her room.
05:44Maybe...
05:44Maybe we should let Ivy out.
05:46Let her wait a little longer.
05:49After Stella goes,
05:50we'll make it up to her.
05:51We will.
05:54He walked to the kitchen,
05:56took a small piece of bread from the cupboard,
05:58and carried it toward where I was.
05:59We'll be back to her.
06:12I love you.
06:16I love you.
06:23I love you.
06:49To be continued...
06:57It's alright, Dad. You don't need to make anything up to me. You never will get the chance.
07:04Then came a faint sound from the living room.
07:06I wanted to see Stella.
07:09Where's Ivy?
07:10Ivy is... she's sulking. I put her in the storage room to think things over.
07:15You did what? You locked Ivy in the storage room?
07:23Ivy is your daughter, too!
07:25Yes, I know Stella's had a cruel fate since birth, that terrible death mark. I know you grieve for her.
07:32But what about Ivy? Is Ivy's life worth nothing?
07:36They were born on the same day. What has she ever been given?
07:41Mom! Mom, I never meant to...
07:44Night fell. Stella's door stayed closed.
07:47Never mind.
07:48She put her lips close to the gap.
07:50Never mind.
07:52Ivy, Grandma's right here with you, don't...
07:54Something's wrong.
07:55What?
07:56Mom didn't understand, and stepped forward to cross the threshold.
08:00He said it in a hush, like something fragile might break.
08:03Dad put a hand out and stopped her.
08:07Wait.
08:07He stood in the doorway without moving.
08:10Stella leaned around Mom.
08:12Ivy, can you hear me?
08:14Sister's okay.
08:16Sister's not gonna die.
08:20In the corner, my body didn't move.
08:23There was no rise and fall of breath.
08:25The smile on Mom's face went rigid.
08:28Ivy.
08:32No!
08:33No, that's not right.
08:35I can't be right, that can't be right.
08:56Dad dropped to his knees beside me.
08:58He reached toward my face, checking for breath.
09:01Linda.
09:02Come feel.
09:03Just come and feel.
09:06Mom sat on the floor and didn't move.
09:08One second, two, three.
09:10That's not possible.
09:12She was pounding on that door yesterday.
09:14I heard her.
09:15Stella stood in the doorway with one hand braced on the frame.
09:19She watched it all happen and went white, all the way to nothing.
09:23Her mouth opened.
09:24No sound.
09:26Grandma grabbed the door frame to steady herself.
09:29Dad finally raised his head.
09:31He looked at Mom and his voice came apart.
09:34Linda.
09:36Tell me she just fainted.
09:38Tell me she's gonna wake up.
09:45She scrambled up and threw herself down beside me.
09:50Ivy, wake up.
09:51Mommy's here.
09:53Mommy's right here.
09:54Open your eyes.
09:56Mama will make you a steak.
09:58Mama will buy you a dress.
09:59We'll go to the amusement park you always wanted to go.
10:02We'll go right now, this very second.
10:04You're scaring me, Ivy.
10:06Mama was wrong.
10:08Mama never should have locked you in there.
10:10Mama knows that.
10:12Just open your eyes.
10:14Yell at me.
10:15Hit me.
10:16Do anything you want of me.
10:18Just open your eyes.
10:19Dad pressed his fingers to my neck again.
10:21Held them there for a long time.
10:25She's gone.
10:27Ivy is gone.
10:30The hand Stella had on the door frame was shaking.
10:33Her whole body was.
10:36When Stella came to, it was already noon.
10:39Mom sat at the edge of the bed, eyes swollen nearly shut.
10:44You're okay, Stella.
10:45You're alright.
10:45Stella looked at the ceiling for a long time.
10:47Where's Ivy?
10:48Mom's tears came again.
10:51Ivy, she...
10:51Mom couldn't get the rest out.
10:53Stella sat up and threw back the covers.
10:56Stella, don't.
10:57You just fainted.
10:58You need to stay.
11:00Where is she?
11:02Where is Ivy?
11:05In the living room.
11:07Your father is with her.
11:09Stella pulled free and ran.
11:11In the living room,
11:13Dad was still on the floor with me in his arms.
11:15He'd stopped crying.
11:17He just sat there.
11:18His eyes not focusing on anything,
11:20Stella stopped in the middle of the room.
11:22She looked at Dad.
11:23She looked at me.
11:24She stood very still.
12:00To be continued...
12:18Look at me. I'm Stella.
12:20He looked at her for a long time.
12:22Ivy's fever broke. She'll wake up soon.
12:25Dad, she's dead. Ivy is dead. Can you hear me? She's gone.
12:31He pulled me tighter.
12:34Stop saying that! Get out! Get out. Let Ivy sleep.
12:39Stella sat down on the floor and put her face in her hands and couldn't breathe.
12:53Grandma came out of the kitchen carrying a cup of water.
12:56She knelt in front of Dad and held it out.
12:59Drink something.
13:01He didn't take it. She set the cup on the floor.
13:03Let go, Frank. Let her lie down.
13:06He was choking on it.
13:07Mom.
13:08His hands shook, but he held on.
13:10She's not dead. She's only...
13:12She's dead.
13:13Frank, your daughter is dead. You kept her in that room all day. She was sick. She died. She died.
13:20No. No. I just wanted her to be quiet for a bit. I didn't want her disturbing Stella. I didn't
13:26know she was sick. I didn't know.
13:28You knew.
13:29Grandma's voice was heavy with it.
13:30She called out. She said her head hurt. You heard her. Linda heard her. You just decided not to believe
13:37it.
13:38Mom came running from the hallway and collapsed at Grandma's feet.
13:41I'm so sorry. Hit me. I'm the one who killed her.
13:49Grandma looked at the three of them. Linda on the floor. Frank shattered. Stella against the wall. She raised her
13:56head.
13:57She could see me?
13:59But she looked away just as quickly. She pressed her cheek to my forehead and closed her eyes.
14:05One tear, burning hot, fell onto my face.
14:12The sound of crying drew the neighbors.
14:15Karen pushed the door open and looked at Grandma holding me, then at my parents and Stella on the floor.
14:21All this weeping. Don't tell me it's actually...
14:24Get out!
14:26Get out! Get out of this house!
14:27Karen stepped back, but her curiosity won.
14:30It's Stella. Well, what a cruel thing fate is.
14:34Poor Ivy will be left all alone now.
14:37That isn't Stella.
14:38Grandma's voice cut through the room.
14:40Mom was on her feet. She went for Karen's face.
14:43Say one more word and I'll tear your mouth off!
14:47I'm just saying what's true. It was always supposed to Stella.
14:50Your whole family lived like it was Stella. Best of everything for Stella.
14:53And now the one who dies isn't the one who was supposed to, and the one who wasn't supposed to...
14:57Shut up!
14:58Stella's voice ripped across the room.
15:00She was on her feet, right in front of Karen.
15:03Don't you say another word about my sister.
15:05Not one word.
15:08Karen went quiet.
15:09She grabbed her bag and left.
15:12Knock, knock, knock.
15:24She's like, no, she's like, no, she's like, no, she's like, no, she's like, no, she's like, no, she's like,

24:29find yourself parents
24:30who know how to love you
24:32be a happy little girl
24:34can you do that for me
24:35i nodded hard
24:37crying freely
24:39grandma
24:39right here
24:41she answered
24:42her voice thick
24:43grandma will always remember you
24:45always
24:46the light came
24:47the first thin ray of morning
24:49reached through the window
24:50and lay across my body
24:51which was growing fainter
24:53i reached out one last time
24:55toward her face
24:56as always
24:56i touched nothing
24:58in the growing light
24:59i dissolved
25:00bit by bit
25:01going transparent
25:02my wolf stirred beside me
25:04it lifted its head
25:05and looked at the world
25:06for the first time
25:08and the last
25:09i turned toward the light
25:10and let it take me
25:11up and up
25:12further and further
25:14grandma's voice faded
25:15behind me
25:16the old farmhouse
25:18disappeared below
25:18everything became
25:20a soft and gentle white
25:21i closed my eyes
