In the late hours of the night, Miya Ford had a dream. Snow was falling, a fierce wind howled, and she heard Sophia crying. Darkness engulfed her, blinding her vision. She ran desperately, her legs pumping furiously.

Suddenly a hand burrowed out from the ground and clutched her ankle. She stumbled and fell. As the wind stripped the snow away from the ice, she looked down and saw Sophia trapped beneath.

"Mommy, mommy, save me."

Sophia was struggling, crying out for help.

She pounded on the ice with all her might, but to no avail.

"Use this."

Suddenly, she felt a gun being thrust into her hand. She looked up to find Chadwick Taylor clad in black.

He said, "Come, let me show you."

He taught her how to load the gun, how to shoot.

Clutching the gun, she aimed at the ice, and just as she was about to pull the trigger, the ice shielding Sophia morphed into living, breathing people.

"Mommy."

"Mommy."

"..."

After a long struggle, Miya Ford eventually became the executioner.
