[ As she sees it? The "normal" world is a very small part of how reality really is. The way she found Polaris wasn't bad at first. It was fun. Only once they met the Not-Mother did they realize how bad things could be. There's things in Bright Falls that feel the same way. Something tells her they've only scratched the surface of this story Alan apparently doesn't remember writing. ]

Well, you wrote me into the story... thing. Right? I have to be here. [ A glance is meant to show she's not necessarily angry. Just stating a fact. ] I couldn't really run away. So, I guess you're stuck with me. Until I'm not in it anymore.

[ She quickly speeds off, not much caring for the rules of the road. Not that she drives reckless, but she figures there isn't much point in trying to adhere to speed limits if Take are coming out of the literal darkness after them. Which does happen a few times as they make their way out of town and through the woods. She doesn't know the exact way, but she trusts Polaris' vague guidance.

She swirves the jeep around a fallen tree and swears under her breath.

« Great, they can chop down trees. »

It takes a few more bumps--rather, Taken--until they are seemingly in the clear. Jesse slows the jeep, rolling down the window and sticking her head out to glance around. The air is still heavy, but it doesn't feel like something is inside it.

« Can whatever this is only go so far so fast? »

She pulls back into the jeep then looks at Alan before back to the road. ]

Soo... what is it? The thing that's apparently hunting you. It's not from our world. Is it?
