Short filmTranscript
00:00On my wedding day, my fiancé sacrificed me to a demon lord, all to keep his crown.
00:07Alaric was arrogant, possessive, and suffocating.
00:10I tried to escape countless times. He always dragged me back.
00:16You belong to me. Only me.
00:20His tail coiled around me.
00:22Then one day, I finally slipped free.
00:25I ran back to the kingdom.
00:26Nathan greeted me with a smile, and drove a dagger straight into my heart.
00:33Did you really think I'd marry you?
00:36Use her corpse as bait. We'll lure the demon out.
00:39I was bound to a cliff, barely breathing.
00:41The moment he saw me, every trace of Alaric's cold arrogance shattered.
00:46Emilia!
00:48His massive black wings snapped open. He dove.
00:51Kill him.
00:55A storm of burning magic tore through the air.
00:58His wings were pierced.
00:59His tail severed.
01:00Blood soaked head to toe.
01:02He kept flying toward me.
01:04Kill him.
01:06He whispered, and gently took my hand.
01:08But he had nothing left.
01:10In the same instant, a volley of spells ripped through his chest.
01:14With his last breath, he spread his wings around me.
01:18Then he fell.
01:20When I opened my eyes again, I was back.
01:23Back to that night, I was forced to become the demon lord's bride.
01:27His arms wrapped around me.
01:29His skin burning hot.
01:31His touch achingly gentle.
01:34Whatever you're about to say, I don't want to hear it.
01:37I will never let you go.
01:41You were destined to be my bride.
01:45Maybe this truly was fate.
01:47A second chance.
01:49This time, I would take back everything that was stolen from me.
01:53And the man I truly loved.
01:56If I remember right, the last face I saw before I died was his.
02:01Alaric.
02:02The demon lord.
02:03My husband.
02:06Amelia, don't be afraid.
02:08I can save you.
02:09If I can't drink my blood, you'll heal.
02:14Stop running.
02:15If you hate my tail, I'll never touch you with it again.
02:18Those spells should never have hurt him.
02:20He's a demon lord.
02:22He took every hit to shield me.
02:24He despised humans.
02:27He gave his life, for one.
02:29Right up until he plummeted off that cliff, he was still trying to save me.
02:34I jolted awake.
02:35Shot upright.
02:36Gasping.
02:37My back was drenched in cold sweat.
02:40Outside.
02:41Bright sun.
02:42Bird song.
02:43The world absurdly peaceful.
02:45I sat frozen on the bed.
02:47Unable to separate dream from reality.
02:49Then, a knock at the door.
02:51I knew this room.
02:52I'd lived in it for a year.
02:54Alaric's palace.
02:56I stumbled to the mirror.
02:57Day seven.
02:58Seven days since I married Alaric.
03:01Our wedding portrait sat beside the calendar.
03:04My hands shook as I picked it up.
03:06Every ugly memory came flooding back.
03:09I hate you.
03:10You tore me away from the man I loved.
03:13One day I'll kill you.
03:16You won't.
03:18Can't you see it?
03:19Stop going back to Nathan.
03:23He's the one who gave you to me.
03:26His cold hand had brushed the tears from my face.
03:30Careful.
03:31Tender.
03:32I am your destined one.
03:34I'd just closed my eyes and pretended to be blind.
03:37Death.
03:38And I practically was.
03:40Blind enough to nearly lose the man who truly loved me.
03:44The knocking grew impatient.
03:45The door swung open.
03:47I expected Alaric.
03:48I spun around and found Nanny Margaret instead.
03:52She looked me up and down.
03:54Lips pursed.
03:56What are you sulking about now?
03:58The Lord already agreed to your demand.
04:00What more do you want?
04:01I blinked.
04:03What?
04:04Demand.
04:06You begged and cried to attend your ex-fiancee's coronation.
04:10The Lord said no, so you threw a fit.
04:12Now you're playing dumb?
04:14Disgusting.
04:15I lowered my eyes.
04:17So, this is the day I came back to.
04:20Last time, I'd spent this entire day screaming at Alaric for blocking my invitation to Nathan's
04:26coronation, not knowing it was Alaric who was trying to spare me from watching Nathan
04:31announce my own handmaid, Rosalie, as his new partner.
04:36I'd called Alaric every name I could think of, told him to go die.
04:40And when I'd tried to poison myself that night, he hadn't hesitated.
04:44He'd used his own heart's blood to make the cure.
04:48A man like the Lord, and he ends up with her.
04:51What rotten luck.
04:53I picked up the flowers and the gown from the sofa, and dropped them straight into the
04:58trash.
04:59Margaret went rigid.
05:00What are you doing now?
05:02I looked up.
05:03Where's Alaric?
05:04Margaret turned away.
05:05I don't know.
05:06No one in this palace would ever tell me where he was, because every time I went looking for
05:11him, something went wrong.
05:13Fine.
05:14I'd find him myself.
05:16I moved through the halls from memory, room by room, until I pushed open the door to
05:21his study.
05:21The smell of blood hit me like a wall.
05:25Alaric sat on the floor, shirt off, surrounded by a pool of dark red.
05:29His black tail cast faint, flickering light.
05:32Head bowed.
05:34Face drained of color.
05:36Dangerous.
05:37Breathtaking.
05:38I'd known drawing his blood caused pain.
05:40I hadn't imagined it looked like this.
05:42He heard the door and didn't turn around.
05:44Get out.
05:45I didn't move.
05:46His aura exploded.
05:48Savage.
05:50Suffocating.
05:52Do you have a death wish?
05:55He saw it was me.
05:56The threat died in his throat.
05:58He turned away fast, scrambling to hide his tail.
06:01Hands clumsy with something that looked almost like embarrassment.
06:05Seeing him alive, it should have made me happy.
06:08Instead, my voice cracked.
06:10Alaric.
06:11Does it hurt?
06:12His hand stilled, then a cold laugh.
06:17Not your concern.
06:18What do you want this time?
06:21That's not...
06:22I just wanted to...
06:23Don't!
06:24He pushed himself toward the desk, putting distance between us.
06:28Leave.
06:28I paused, looked at the way he flinched back, then lifted my chin.
06:33No.
06:34No?
06:35Then what exactly are you planning to do?
06:38Stay?
06:41I'm warning you, don't push me.
06:44I crossed the room and walked straight to him.
06:46He turned his face away, flawless features half-swallowed by shadow.
06:51Unreadable.
06:52Then I was against the wall.
06:55Don't.
06:57Unless you want to spend the next three days in bed.
07:01I reached up and cradled his face in both hands.
07:07Your eyes are beautiful.
07:11Like gemstones.
07:16Can I kiss you?
07:17Something moved through his expression.
07:19Complicated.
07:20Searching.
07:21After a long moment,
07:23Amelia.
07:25I'm not stopping you from going to Nathan anymore.
07:28You don't have to say things you don't mean.
07:30I mean every word.
07:32Enough.
07:33Out.
07:34I knew I couldn't push too hard.
07:37So I dropped my gaze,
07:38accepted the loss,
07:40and stood to lead.
07:41I fell straight into his arms
07:43and kissed him directly on the mouth.
07:48I hadn't even registered the impact
07:50before Alaric made a sharp, strangled sound.
07:53against my lips.
07:55Amelia, you.
07:56He looked like he was about to combust.
08:02He didn't answer.
08:04Eyes squeezed shut,
08:06cheeks flushed an alarming shade of red,
08:09breathing ragged.
08:10You're burning up.
08:11You're burning up.
08:11Do you have a fever?
08:14He grabbed my wrist.
08:15The next second,
08:16I was outside the study.
08:17The door slammed in my face.
08:19Alaric?
08:21Are you angry with me?
08:22It was an accident.
08:24I just wanted to apologize.
08:26I'll come back later if you...
08:28The door flew open again.
08:30My hand was seized.
08:31I was back against the wall.
08:33Where do you think you're going?
08:35His voice was rough.
08:36His robe half open.
08:38Every line of him taught.
08:40To find someone else.
08:42His skin was scorching.
08:44His breath came uneven.
08:46Do you know what happens
08:47when you provoke a demon in heat?
08:51What kind of woman does this?
08:53You started it.
08:54And now you want to walk away
08:55to another man?
08:56His thumb traced my lower lip.
08:58His eyes had gone deep red.
09:01Go ahead.
09:02Blame me for this.
09:03You always do.
09:05Amelia.
09:06I'm telling you now.
09:08If you leave,
09:09you can still make it to Nathan's dinner.
09:12He let go.
09:13Turned to walk away.
09:14I stared at his retreating back.
09:18Why would I go have dinner
09:19with someone else?
09:20You're the one I want
09:21to have dinner with.
09:22I hesitated.
09:23Then added,
09:24Darling.
09:25The word landed
09:26like a match strike.
09:28Alaric wrenched his arm back
09:29and put three full steps
09:31between us.
09:32Amelia.
09:33I'm right here.
09:34He laughed.
09:36Sharp.
09:37Humorless.
09:38Last time you called me that
09:40it was to pull off my scales
09:41and send them to Nathan.
09:43His eyes cut into me.
09:45So what is it this time?
09:46My heart?
09:49I grabbed his hand
09:51and refused to let go.
09:52That's not why.
09:54We're married.
09:55It's a completely normal thing
09:57for a wife to call her husband.
09:59He still didn't believe me.
10:01His gaze swept over me
10:03then flicked to his watch.
10:05If you don't leave soon,
10:07you'll genuinely miss...
10:08Do you want me to go see
10:09another man that badly?
10:11I rose onto my toes
10:13and looped both arms
10:14around his neck.
10:15I never wanted to see him.
10:17I only want to see you.
10:19And I'm starving.
10:21I haven't eaten all day.
10:23Something flickered
10:24in those calm, still eyes.
10:26I rushed out to find you
10:27and wore the wrong shoes.
10:30My feet are killing me.
10:32A long silence.
10:34Then a sigh.
10:35The sound of a man
10:36surrendering to something inevitable.
10:38He crouched down
10:39and carefully took my ankle
10:41in his hand.
10:42Let me see.
10:43He examined my foot
10:44with quiet focus.
10:46I looked down at him.
10:47How did I never notice
10:49how absurdly handsome he is?
10:52What if I kissed him right now?
10:54Would he push me down immediately?
10:56Should I?
10:57I'm going to.
10:58Just once.
11:00Just...
11:02Amelia, did he agree?
11:03Why aren't you answering?
11:04Did he say no?
11:05Play on his sympathy.
11:07Make him feel sorry for you.
11:08Amelia, it's all just strategy.
11:10I know you hate him.
11:12But once we have his blood,
11:13we can be together.
11:15Forever.
11:16My chest seized.
11:18I looked up.
11:19Alaric was already looking at me.
11:21His eyes had gone dark.
11:23Terrifyingly dark.
11:24He looked at me
11:25for one long moment
11:26then let out
11:27a short contemptuous laugh.
11:29He dropped my ankle,
11:31stood,
11:31and walked away.
11:33Alaric,
11:34it's not what you heard.
11:36It's fine, Amelia.
11:38Go to him.
11:38I told you
11:39I won't stand in your way.
11:41His back was trembling.
11:43I bit down hard
11:44and ran after him,
11:45wrapped both arms
11:46around him from behind.
11:47He went rigid.
11:49I didn't give him time
11:50to pull away.
11:51I turned him around,
11:52pulled his hands apart,
11:53and kissed him.
11:55Messy,
11:56desperate,
11:57graceless.
11:58He tried to resist.
11:59Worried about hurting me,
12:01he couldn't bring himself
12:02to push hard.
12:03He stood there,
12:04frozen,
12:04and let me make a fool
12:06of myself against his face.
12:07Then I pulled back
12:08and looked him dead in the eye.
12:10I was wrong about Nathan.
12:12I'd lost my mind.
12:14Alaric,
12:15I swear,
12:17from now on,
12:18there is only you.
12:20He looked at me
12:21from under heavy lashes,
12:22then looked away
12:24with a small,
12:25bitter smile.
12:26You've said that before
12:28more times than I can count.
12:29This time is different!
12:31He turned the ring
12:32on his finger,
12:33said nothing,
12:34didn't believe me.
12:35I watched his hand,
12:37and then I remembered.
12:38The demon-mate bond.
12:40He'd asked me for it.
12:41Every time,
12:42I'd refused.
12:44I want to form the bond
12:46with you,
12:47tie myself to you,
12:48permanently.
12:49Yes.
12:50And from the crystal
12:51on the floor,
12:52Nathan's voice rang out again.
12:55Amelia,
12:56I'm drunk.
12:58Come pick me up.
12:59I glanced at the antique clock.
13:00Half past eleven at night.
13:02I picked up the crystal
13:03and smiled sweetly into it.
13:06Of course, Nathan.
13:07I'm on my way right now.
13:09Just wait for me, okay?
13:10Don't move.
13:11I'm coming, I promise.
13:12I dropped the crystal,
13:15switched it off,
13:16and tossed it across the room.
13:17Let him wait all night,
13:19preferably forever.
13:21A chill crept up my spine.
13:23I turned around.
13:25Alaric stood in the doorway,
13:27bare-chested,
13:28towel around his shoulders,
13:30completely still,
13:31watching me
13:32with dark,
13:33unreadable eyes.
13:34What?
13:36He didn't answer,
13:38turned and walked back
13:39into the bathroom.
13:41The door slammed.
13:42He'd heard the voice message.
13:44He'd misunderstood.
13:46I rushed after him,
13:48and the bathroom door
13:49swung open
13:50before I could knock.
13:51Alaric, I...
13:52The words died.
13:54He'd changed out of his robe,
13:56just a towel at his waist,
13:58hair dripping,
13:59water trailing down his chest,
14:01following the lines
14:02of his abdomen
14:03all the way down into...
14:05I completely forgot
14:06what I was going to say.
14:08Going out?
14:09Mm-hmm.
14:12Wait!
14:13No!
14:13No, I'm not!
14:14He stepped closer.
14:15Are you coming back?
14:17I'm not going anywhere.
14:18I'm not picking him up!
14:20My legs gave out.
14:21I slid straight
14:22into his arms.
14:23Amelia,
14:24what's wrong?
14:25It must have been the steam.
14:27Too much heat,
14:28not enough air.
14:29Come sit down.
14:30Let me get you water.
14:31He leaned down
14:32to hand me the glass,
14:33his warmth
14:34radiating against me,
14:36his jaw
14:36right there
14:37at eye level.
14:38The line of his throat
14:40and above that,
14:42I was suddenly
14:43very thirsty
14:44and having
14:46significant
14:46trouble breathing.
14:48I shook my head hard,
14:49stood up abruptly
14:50and walked away.
14:52Behind me,
14:53Alaric opened his eyes.
14:54Something glinted in them,
14:56sharp
14:57and quietly amused.
14:58I'd been sleeping
14:59in the guest room
15:00since the wedding.
15:01All my things
15:02were in there.
15:03I went to collect them.
15:04I was deep
15:05in the closet
15:06when his voice
15:07came from the doorway.
15:10Getting clothes
15:11or going to Nathan?
15:13He was watching me
15:14with that carefully
15:15controlled expression,
15:16the one that barely
15:18covered the ache
15:19underneath.
15:20It's cold outside.
15:22Remember to...
15:23He paused.
15:24Wear a coat.
15:25He turned
15:26and retreated
15:27into the master bedroom,
15:28shutting the door
15:29behind him.
15:30Three minutes later,
15:31I shoved that door open
15:32with both arms
15:33full of clothes.
15:35Alaric looked up.
15:36I glared at him,
15:37breathless.
15:38Help me!
15:39I have too much!
15:40I'm about to drop everything!
15:42He stared for a beat.
15:44What are you doing?
15:45I dumped everything
15:46on the floor.
15:47Isn't it obvious?
15:48I'm moving in.
15:49I pushed his clothes
15:50to one side of the closet
15:51and hung all of mine
15:53next to them.
15:54Alaric hadn't said a word.
15:56He'd just followed me
15:57around the room
15:57like a shadow.
15:58Amelia, what's this?
16:01Lipstick.
16:03How do you use it?
16:05How does anyone
16:06use lipstick?
16:07You put it on your lips.
16:09Can I help you
16:10put it on?
16:11Before I could answer,
16:12he kissed me.
16:13He kissed me
16:14until I had to push him back
16:16just to breathe.
16:17I thought you were
16:18helping me with my lipstick.
16:19I did.
16:21His eyes were dark
16:22and full of something
16:23consuming.
16:24Your lips don't need it
16:25anymore.
16:27Alaric,
16:29I was blind for a long time.
16:30I did things that hurt you.
16:32But that's over.
16:34I'm going to love you
16:35the way you deserve.
16:38I don't believe you.
16:39Then what would it take?
16:40He stood,
16:41lifted me up,
16:42and his tail
16:43curled around me.
16:45Maybe start by showing me.
16:47The next morning,
16:48voices outside
16:49pulled me awake.
16:50Nathan.
16:51Standing in the courtyard,
16:53arms crossed,
16:54wearing the expression
16:55of someone
16:55who'd been kept waiting
16:56and expected the world
16:58to apologize for it.
17:00Amelia!
17:01Do you know how long
17:02I've been standing out here?
17:03Why didn't you come
17:04to meet me?
17:05I was busy studying
17:06the diamond on my ring finger.
17:08When had Alaric
17:09put this on me?
17:10Last night?
17:12Nathan exhaled
17:13with theatrical patience,
17:15his smile generous
17:16and condescending
17:17all at once.
17:19I came personally
17:20to take you home.
17:21You must be so relieved.
17:23I don't love you anymore.
17:25What?
17:26I straightened up.
17:27Nathan,
17:27I loved you once,
17:29but I mistook
17:30gratitude for love.
17:31You have no place
17:32in my heart now.
17:33Please go.
17:34A flicker of guilt
17:36crossed his face.
17:37Gone almost instantly,
17:39replaced by volume.
17:41Amelia!
17:42Two years ago,
17:43I saved you from drowning!
17:45You owe me your life!
17:47My parents have always said,
17:49I'm your savior
17:50and you owe me a debt!
17:52The Ashford family
17:53had spent years
17:54pouring that idea into me,
17:56drop by drop,
17:58until I believed
17:59and I believed it completely.
18:00And because Nathan
18:01had saved me once,
18:03I had followed him
18:04into everything.
18:06Not this time.
18:07He killed me.
18:08We're even.
18:09I opened my mouth
18:10and felt the temperature
18:12drop around me.
18:13I glanced up.
18:15Alaric stood
18:16on the second floor balcony,
18:18hands in his pockets,
18:19watching.
18:20Stop performing, Amelia.
18:22I know you hate Alaric.
18:24You're desperate
18:24to come with me,
18:25aren't you?
18:26I'm not.
18:27I love Alaric.
18:29What?
18:30You're so right.
18:31I can't survive
18:33a moment away from him.
18:35I want to tie myself
18:36to him forever.
18:37I love him so much.
18:39One second without him
18:41and my heart just stops.
18:44Footsteps behind me.
18:46Alaric.
18:47I turned
18:48and arranged my face
18:49into delighted surprise.
18:51Darling!
18:51When did you get here?
18:52I only just noticed you.
18:55Oh no!
18:56You heard everything
18:58I just said,
18:59didn't you?
18:59Every single
19:01embarrassing word of it?
19:02Alaric's hand
19:03settled at my waist.
19:05Every word.
19:06Nathan looked like
19:07he was about to catch fire.
19:09You're lying!
19:10You despise this creature!
19:13Enough.
19:14Alaric's arm
19:14tightened around me.
19:15His eyes moved to Nathan.
19:18Flat.
19:18Final.
19:20You entered this palace
19:21only because I allowed it
19:22out of courtesy.
19:23Let me remind you
19:25of something
19:25you seem to have forgotten.
19:26You were the one
19:27who offered her to me.
19:30Willingly.
19:32To keep your crown.
19:33A sacrifice made
19:35cannot be unmade.
19:36Now get out
19:37and don't come back.
19:39Ever.
19:39And found himself
19:41lifted by his collar.
19:43Alaric was about
19:43to throw him
19:44through the gate.
19:46Wait.
19:46Amelia.
19:47I knew it.
19:49You still...
19:50Alaric's grip
19:50on my hand
19:51went rigid.
19:53Nathan.
19:55Don't come
19:55looking for me again.
19:57I'm married.
19:59I have no interest
20:00in contact with you
20:01and I refuse to give
20:02my husband
20:02any reason to worry.
20:04I waved a hand.
20:05Go quickly.
20:06Don't keep turning around.
20:08We have dinner.
20:10The grip on my hand
20:11softened instantly.
20:12Nathan tried
20:13one more time.
20:14Alaric glanced at him.
20:16One glance.
20:17That was all it took.
20:18Nathan went pale,
20:19shut his mouth,
20:20and left.
20:22The gate had barely
20:23closed before I was
20:24against the wall.
20:25Now.
20:27as my wife,
20:30are you prepared
20:31to fulfill
20:32certain responsibilities
20:33to your lord?
20:35I smiled
20:36and reached up
20:37to hook my arms
20:38around his neck.
20:39Are you jealous?
20:42Jealous?
20:44Why would I be jealous
20:45of a coward
20:46who doesn't know
20:46the first thing
20:47about love?
20:48So you do,
20:49do know.
20:50Have you loved
20:50someone before?
20:52My stomach dropped.
20:55Wait, seriously?
20:57There was someone?
20:58He lifted me
20:59onto his lap
21:00and his tail
21:01wound around me.
21:02Now it's my turn
21:03to ask.
21:04Are you jealous?
21:05His lips
21:06found mine.
21:07I have never
21:08loved anyone else.
21:10Only you.
21:12Will you leave me?
21:13I'm not leaving you.
21:15I promise.
21:16Then prove it.
21:18The sky was already
21:19lightning at the edges
21:20when I finally
21:21fell asleep.
21:22The last thing I felt
21:23was his lips
21:24on my forehead.
21:25I have so many gems.
21:27So much gold.
21:29Everything humans love,
21:31I'll give it all to you.
21:32Stay with me.
21:33Be mine.
21:34Forever.
21:35I was too exhausted
21:37to answer out loud.
21:38I slept deeply
21:39and dreamed
21:40in pieces.
21:42In the dream,
21:43I was 16.
21:44My parents were gone.
21:46Suddenly,
21:46terribly gone.
21:47The Ashford family
21:48took me in.
21:49They wanted my parents'
21:50estate.
21:51So they told me
21:52over and over
21:53that Nathan
21:54had saved my life.
21:56No.
21:57It wasn't Nathan.
21:59It was a demon.
22:01He hadn't hurt me.
22:02He'd spread those
22:03vast black wings
22:04and carried me down
22:05from the mountain,
22:06back to the human kingdom
22:08and left me there
22:09safely.
22:11Nathan's mother
22:12slapped me
22:13across the face.
22:15What demon?
22:16It was Nathan.
22:18Nathan saved you.
22:19You owe this family
22:21everything.
22:23She didn't stop
22:24until I stopped moving.
22:26Stupid girl.
22:27I'll beat it into you
22:28if I have to.
22:30Life in the Ashford house
22:31was a long cruelty.
22:32She dismissed the servants
22:34to save money
22:35and gave me the work instead.
22:37Dishes.
22:38Cooking.
22:39Leftover food.
22:40Nathan's old clothes.
22:42The floor outside the door
22:43for a bed.
22:44Anyone in that house
22:45could hit me
22:46when they felt like it.
22:47It hurt so much.
22:49I cried myself to sleep
22:50almost every night.
22:52You said you'd protect me.
22:54You said you'd come back
22:55when I was grown.
22:56Where are you?
22:57It hurts.
22:59It really hurts.
23:01Alaric never came.
23:02Before I could find him
23:03the Ashford family
23:05made me a test subject
23:06in their dark magic laboratory.
23:08They drained my blood
23:10and replaced it.
23:11They rewrote my memories.
23:14They locked me in a room
23:16with no windows
23:17and no light.
23:19Slowly
23:20his face began to fade.
23:23Every time I slept
23:24he grew a little blurrier
23:26a little further away.
23:28I fought it.
23:29I refused to let him disappear.
23:32I stole a needle
23:33and drove it into my arm
23:35to stay awake.
23:36I used a stone
23:37to beat my own legs.
23:38I carved wounds
23:39all over my body
23:41just to hold on
23:42to the memory of him.
23:44But their experiment
23:45succeeded anyway.
23:46Alaric became my enemy
23:48in my own mind.
23:49And Nathan
23:50became my savior.
23:52The lost memories
23:53returned all at once
23:55and the pain
23:56was so overwhelming
23:57I couldn't breathe.
23:59Then a hand caught mine.
24:01I opened my eyes.
24:03Alaric
24:03watching me
24:04with an expression
24:05something quiet
24:06and terrified
24:08and
24:08completely undone.
24:11The dream shattered.
24:11I was back.
24:13And this time
24:14I wasn't alone.
24:15I lunged upright
24:17and locked both arms
24:18around his neck.
24:19Before he could say anything
24:20I was sobbing so hard
24:22I couldn't catch my breath.
24:24You lied to me.
24:25You said you'd come right back
24:26with the gem.
24:29I waited
24:30and waited
24:30and I couldn't find you anymore.
24:32What was I supposed to do?
24:35What was I supposed to do?
