I've known there was something happening at night. I just--I didn't know what it was. My friend said not to go out. So, I didn't. [ The hand holding the flashlight makes a wide gesture as if it is supposed to explain everything. ] Do I have a choice? You can't shoot everything--we can't out run everything.
[ Jesse is pulled into the trees by his hand over hers. She doesn't pull away. Instead, her gaze moves around to look at where the Taken is. The fear seems to have been replaced by a panic and a haunted look in her eyes. It's not of denial or disbelief. The haunted look implies familiarity. Her gaze drops to the ground and then moves back up to him. ]
We can't stay here. [ The statement also seems to act as an answer to his question. ] Wake, we can't--
--Logging is a hazardous occupation!
[ Jesse visibly jumps as an axe sails through the air, lodging itself in the tree next to her. The words the Taken yell echo in the words around them. She looks side to side, clamping down on Alan's hand. It's so dark, and everything looks so different...
Polaris shimmers in the distance.
She knows the look of her friend anywhere.
With her hand still holding Alan's, she starts running in the direction Polaris pulls her. It may seem like she's running blindly to anyone else. Alan may not be able to see or sense Polaris. Maybe he can tell that Jesse isn't just darting in one direction in a panic. ]
