EXT. EMBER'S TOWN - DAY
13 year-old EMBER walks alone down the empty dirt paths of
her home town. Memories filling her head in place of the
silence.
FLASHBACK to EMBER as a 5-year old running around a small
fenced in yard with her FATHER.
FATHER
Gotcha!
FATHER wraps his arms around EMBER
EMBER
EEK!
Giggles as she wiggles free from her FATHER's grasp
SCENECHANGE to 5-year old EMBER and her 10-year old brother
BRANDON sitting in his bedroom. Inaudible yelling in the
distance, the door SLAMS shut and there is silence. EMBER
looks at BRANDON worriedly.
BRANDON
It's ok, he will be back. Until
then, I'll protect you.
BRANDON hugs EMBER
SCENECHANGE to EMBER and BRANDON growing up over the course
of the frozen memories. BRANDON holding EMBER on her bike.
Next flying a kite. Running around the yard.
SCENECHANGE to 13-year old EMBER and 18-year old BRANDON
sitting on the backyard porch steps.
BRANDON (CONT'D)
I really wish you could understand,
but it’s too difficult to explain.
It is really important for me to
continue training elsewhere. I’ll
come back and visit still, I love
you and I will never leave you
forever.
Hugs EMBER, then get's up and leaves the scene
A muffled shouting is heard in the background and a door
slam, making all quiet.
EMBER
You better come back.
