"Oh, death! You are so cruel. Why did you take the life of this young innocent child? You should have taken me instead. I'm old and frail and I have nothing to live for". Nalan, Sarah's mother wailed uncontrollably at the funeral.
She and her granddaughter Cher had been involved in a ghastly motor accident that claimed Cher's young life. "Be careful what you wish for. My brother is only carrying out the task assigned to him. He is the conveyor of souls and I'm Spell, I grant wishes". A young woman wearing a black hat and red lipstick said as she dropped a red rose on Cher's casket. She then walked to the side and sat down on a bench.
After the funeral service, Sarah walked up to Spell and asked, " do you really grant wishes? I want my daughter back. I can't bear this pain in my heart". "It is done. This is the price." Spell gave Sarah a rose petal and walked away.
That night, Sarah was roused by a nightmare. In the dream, she saw Cher running towards and embracing her tightly. She turned to find her daughter sleeping by her side. Terrified, she remembered her conversation with spell, and immediately, Spell appeared as though Sarah's memory had conjured her presence.
"It is time to take back my rose. A life for a life. I have to return a soul to my brother after taking from him. If you do not give me a name, I will take her back". Spell pointed at Cher who was sleeping so peacefully. " No! Take me instead" Sarah pleaded.
An hour later, Cher woke up to find her mother lying dead. She quickly ran to get Nalan. Nalan was so confused about what was going on. She had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease three years ago. She didn't remember that Cher had died only a few days ago.
"Do not leave me alone with Cher. Please wake up. What are we going to do without you?" Nalan shook her daughter's dead body. "I told you to be careful. You wanted Cher to live a long and fulfilled life. Now her mother is gone. Who is going to take care of her? You are old and frail. I can grant your wish, I can take you and bring Sarah back". Nalan turned to find Spell cross-legged on a chair.
"Take me now. I have nothing else to live for". Nalan walked up to spell who was now smiling fulfilled.
