Disclaimer- I now, thanks to the glories of the festive season, own but a mere copy of this wondrous film. Unfortunately, the actual rights still dance outside of my grasp.

A loud knock pounded through the silence and Nika jumped, smothering a shriek behind her clammy palms. Staggering to the door, she peeped through the peephole and felt her stomach drop to the floor as a bunch of yellow daisies invaded her view. Horror swam through her veins and she backed away slowly. Gradually, the polite tapping crescended into a horrifying series of quiet clicks and scrapes. Somebody was picking the lock. Nika's second shriek was muffled again, this time by a large hand grabbing her by the mouth and pulling her into the shadows.
"Nika" his voice was harsh but gentle and Nika felt all of her fear dissipate even as the icy chill in his demeanor terrified her. It was 47.

Author's Note- Many many thanks to all of those who reviewed when I was gone. My apoligies at the chapter's general shortness. Thanks again everyone!
