To make matters worse, Alan is now being pursued by a terrifying threat known as ‘the taken’: an evil force that can construct itself into human form, flocks of birds, or even inanimate objects. Unfortunately, the once idyllic setting of Bright Falls is suddenly fraught with danger as darkness has enveloped the pristine mountainside town like a suffocating cloud of smoke. Shine your lightĪlan quickly discovers that his search for Alice won’t involve filing a police report and scouring the lake for any signs of her existence. He awakes behind the wheel of a wrecked car one week later, dazed, confused, and desperate to find Alice. Instinctively, Alan dives into the lake’s depths but shortly loses consciousness. Concerned for Alice’s safety, Alan rushes back to the now pitch-black lodge, flashlight in hand, only to catch a glimpse of his wife being dragged into Cauldron Lake’s murky waters by some mysterious figure. In the midst of trying to calm down, Alan suddenly hears Alice let out a spine-tingling scream. Incensed at Alice’s actions, Alan storms out of the lodge into the night air knowing that Alice won’t follow due to her fear of the dark. Unsurprisingly, despite Alice’s good intentions, a lover’s tiff ensues. Even though this trip was supposed to let Alan escape the pressures of having to write and other day-to-day distractions, it turns out Alice had other ideas, who hoped the change of scenery would help encourage Alan to finally break through his writer’s block for good. Upon arrival, Alan discovers a typewriter awaiting him in the lodge’s study.
