Point Pleasant – Season 2, Chapter 2: "Blinded"

Isabelle had seen the horrors Point Pleasant was about to face years ago: The death. The destruction. Her whole family torn apart. She had tried to help her mother see it too, but she knew deep down she couldn't stop it. Nobody could. Deep down, the darkness was their destiny…

Meg Kramer held her daughter, but offered no comfort as they stood outside of what was left of their home. As the walls crumbled down around them, everything that ever held importance to them was gone… One young girl had destroyed their town, their home and their lives andher fallen daughterhad seen it all coming...

It took him a while to realize what had happened, to come to where he was. It was as if he had been in a coma for months on end, out of touch with everything good in this world. His veins were sending blood through to his golden heart. Jesse Parker could feel something once more. Something or someone had made his heart start beating again…

Finally awake and panic-stricken, the lifeguard shouted for help at the top of his lungs. They worked.

"Mom, do you hear that?" Judy shouted as she looked up at her mother. She was looking towards the house. Meg Kramer did not respond, only trying to bring her squirming daughter's body closer to her own.

"…Jesse…" she muttered. Her eyes were watering as she searched for a sign her mother could even hear what she was saying. Or, was she hearing voices now too?

Judy felt like she was about to explode. Her pupils dilated, zipping and zapping from one side of her skull to the other, she put her finger to her dry lips, and then, without another second's thought, made a break for it. Her mother's grip wasn't tight. As she ran towards the fiery blaze, she half-heartedly covered her face. Taking one look back, she realized her mother's arms were still held in that same position. She still thought her daughter was there, in her arms. Tears began to form in the corners of her eyes. Meg Kramer was somewhere else entirely. She looked to her father, Ben, blinded. His eyesight had been taken from him. Taken from him by one young girl who had destroyed their town, their home and their lives… Judy turned back, facing the destruction she had caused, and went inside, shouting Jesse's name…
