One moment, Jesse is in Des Moines, alone in the attic of a condemned townhouse. She'd heard of a supposed haunting and made her way over to investigate before the building was torn down. She's standing there in the attic, trying to reach out to something, anything, and suddenly there's a loud bang, a flash of white light that hurts her preternaturally sensitive eyes, and she falls some thirty feet to the ground to land amid a heap of rubble.
For a moment, she thinks that the demolition has happened ahead of schedule, but the other ruined buildings around her quickly put the lie to that idea. She frowns, and puts her head to one side, listening intently. There's no real sound of any human activity - certainly nothing like enough signs of life for what should be a bustling metropolis. Something is very, very wrong. And - she's hungry, for perhaps the third time in her entire existence as a vampire. She shouldn't be, she fed perhaps two months ago - but there is a pain in her gut as if her body is trying to eat itself. She must feed - and soon.
She focuses, and picks out the nearest human sounds, heading towards the person as quickly as she can. No-one will see her, she can move as fast as she needs to. She'll pump the person for information first, and then for blood.
