(Scene fades to later in the day at sunset. Aunt Bree is seen pacing back and forth in front of her house as Andrew and Leo come home)

Andrew: Bree? Are you okay?

Leo: What happened? What's going on?

Aunt Bree: Leo, Andrew! It's Rachel, she's gone!

Andrew and Leo: WHAT?!

Leo: What do you mean gone?!

Aunt Bree: I mean, she's gone! She's missing, she's not here!

Andrew: Then... where could she be?

Leo: (gasps in realization) Granny's house! That must be where she is!

Aunt Bree: Then let's go! (she, Andrew, and Leo head over to their horse-drawn wagon and climb on. Bree grabs the reins) You know, Leo, if it weren't for you being such a stubborn idiot, this probably wouldn't have happened! (Leo looks away in shame as Bree whips the reins and the wagon takes off into the forest)

(Scene fades to the gate of Granny's house at twilight. Jake is seen walking on the path when he stops in front of the gate. He decides to go visit Granny and see how she's doing, so he carefully opens the gate and jogs up to Granny's house, but he stops when he hears loud snoring coming from inside the house. Jake slowly approaches the house and knocks on the door)

Jake: Hello? Granny? It's Jake, your neighbor. (knocks on the door again) Granny? (opens the door and looks into the house, only to see that it's super dark inside The snoring he hears is even louder and it sounds like it's coming from the bedroom) Granny? Are you alright? (a loud belch is then heard from the bedroom, causing Jake to jump in surprise. The snoring continues when Jake sees the bedroom door creak open and Vanilla walks out. He meows and trots up to Jake, happy to see him) Vanilla? (kneels down and pets the cat. He then notices something in Vanilla's mouth) What've you got there? (takes whatever Vanilla has and sees that it's Rachel's silver bracelet. Vanilla then gestures for Jake to follow him into the bedroom. Jake stands up, slowly follows the cat to the pitch black room, and carefully approaches the bed) Granny? (stops near the front and gently shakes the shoulder of the figure lying in bed) Granny, are you okay? Ugh, it's so dark in here. I can't see anything. (takes out a book of matches from his pocket, goes over to the dresser, and lights a candle with one of the matches. He takes the candle and walks back to the bed to see Vanilla trying to pull off the covers) Vanilla, what are you doing? (Vanilla pulls away the covers completely to reveal Mason in his wolf form lying there sound asleep wearing Granny's clothes with an extended stomach. Jake silently gasps in shock the moment he hears strange muffled noises coming from Mason's belly) Oh no! You couldn't have eaten Granny! (sees a small piece of Rachel's red cloak dangling from the right corner of Mason's mouth. He extracts the fabric from Mason's lips and examines it along with the bracelet before his eyes widen) ...and Rachel?! I gotta do something... but what? (Vanilla points his paw at the nightstand drawer. Jake opens it and takes out a large pair of scissors. He looks at the scissors, then at Mason) Oh, I cannot believe I'm gonna do this. (kneels on the bed and begins to cut open Mason's stomach with the scissors) Oh Rachel, please be okay. Please be okay. Please be okay. Please be okay. (once he stops cutting, Rachel is seen struggling to climb out through the hole in Mason's stomach) Rachel? Rachel, is that you?

Rachel: (pops out of Mason's stomach while gasping for air) What, huh? Oh my gosh! Jake?

Jake: Yeah, hold on. I got you. (grabs her hands and pulls her out)

Rachel: Oh Jake, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (she and Jake hug tightly) It was so dark in there, I was so scared! (looks back at Mason's open belly) Wait, Granny! She's still in there!
