In a moment of abject weakness, he reveals himself to another human, an act strictly forbidden. And one that doesn't come without consequences. Jessica's dream morphs into her waking life. She no longer knows if the horror she's experiencing is real or if it is the dream. Now she fears for her very life and has no one to turn to and nowhere to run.
