Game Of Thrones Season 8 Trailer: 6 Big Hints (& 7 Questions We Have)

7. What's Arya Running From?

The trailer begins with a bang, with Arya in a state of sheer terror, fleeing through the halls (and maybe Crypts) of Winterfell, dagger in hand and blood strewn over the face. We've seen Arya running from enemies before, but never looking quite so scared.

So, yes, the obvious answer is she's running from the undead, but is she being chased by a White Walker, or a bunch of wights? Or, given how terrified she is, could it even be some reanimated Starks that are coming after her?

There might be some method to her madness too though: we've seen Arya lure the Waif into a trap using a similar tactic, so might she be luring a White Walker to a point where it can be killed (and the wights with it)?
