Vour - an essence that brings your own fears to the surface by creating illusions, sounds, anything to scare you to the brink.Comparable to books by R. When this happens, they enter your brain and the real you, the emotional you, is hidden in a place called a fearscape. You're destined to stay in your horrific dreams while the Vour lives through your body. Emotionally awful for you and terrifying for others too because they adapt to human existence and no one knows they are living among us (and, of course, a major personality change occurs - and not for the good most times). When Reggie - number one good gal - and Aaron (her faithful sidekick) decipher a journal's cryptic messages, Reggie determines how to turn the tables and defeat the Vours in her personal dilema. However, in doing this, Reggie opens her brain and body to their influence. This particular essence, however, was not controlling Reggie as they do other humans - her control over "her fear" enabled her to enter their territory (fearscapes) while they were still in control of their hosts. Going in and locating the lost souls of those that have been invaded brings her ability to the attention of the Vours. Their one rule - the Winter Soulstice was the only night the fear spinning vours could take over their human hosts.
