Her Soul for Revenge

On Halloween, Juniper frets about her plan to kill Kent until Zane’s excitement overwhelms her. They tease one another about wearing revealing costumes.

In a nightmare sequence (that she doesn’t initially realize is a dream), Juniper exercises to work through her nerves until she hears Zane’s voice. She follows it to the nearby lake, where she sees a bloody face emerging from the water. She flees the lake, only to find the bloody creature on the shore. It reaches for her as she “wakes,” finding herself in the mine. She hears the Deep One’s voice calling as tentacles slither toward her. She urges herself to wake up for real; the Deep One asserts that she isn’t dreaming. The tentacles begin to suffocate her.

Zane shakes Juniper awake on the shore of the lake. When she explains what she saw, Zane calls the red creature a Watcher, which feeds on the fear of others. He urges her not to let it overwhelm her if she sees it again, as this will make her vulnerable. He explains that the Deep One can create powerful illusions but can’t touch her while it’s trapped, no matter how real it feels.
