All Jacob could think about as they trudged through the soppy mud of the backyard was of Brandi's suicide attempt a couple of years back. Hearing Tori say she thought she saw someone 'flying' was enough to send fear shivers up his own spine, as someone 'jumping' or 'falling' might look like that to Tori, in the state of mind she was probably in after seeing Shanna almost fall to her death. Jacob said a silent prayer, hoping beyond hope that it had indeed been a bird or something else, just as long as it wasn't Brandice committing suicide.<br/><br/>The beams of their flashlights barely made it more than a few feet in the heavy sheets of rain. "FISH? FISH?....You find her?" Jacob called out as they closed the distance and finally Fish's skinny silhouette could be seen  as he rounded the corner of a tome and then was gone again. "FISH?"<br/><br/>Huge clashes of thunder made his voice almost disappear over the cacophony of storm noise, and Jacob pulled Tori into almost a run in order to catch up to Fish. Suddenly just as they took the corner, a bright blue lightning strike lit up the sky and for a brief second Jacob breathed a sign of relief seeing Fish trying to place his coat around Brandi's shoulders, atleast she was still alive, he thanked god.<br/><br/>"Brandi....ooh god.....shit girl, you really had us worried there..." Jacob started to say but as they came closer, his flashlight caught the worried look on Fish's face. "What is it? Brandi are you OK?"<br/><br/>"Something's wrong man...she ain't talking....and look at this..." Fish said and lifted his jacket off of her torso so that Jacob and Tori could see. Brandi's face was stone white and her thick mascara had run down her cheeks making her look like a Norwegian blackmetal singer, but it was the eyes themselves that really showed how shaken up she really was. Brandi was staring straight ahead, not looking at anyone, just staring and shivering.<br/><br/>When Fish opened the jacket though, a whole other level of fear hit them. Her black top was ripped down the middle and her bra hung shredded. Her normally pale breasts hung out and she seemed not even to notice as Jacob and Tori's flashlight beams examined her. Her left nipple piercing had been torn out and her torso was now covered in her own blood, as hundreds of small slashes covered her from the neck down.<br/><br/>Fish only held the coat open long enough for Jacob and Tori to get a look, the rain was coming down even harder now and it began to wash some of the caking blood from Brandi's form. It looked almost if someone had used a razor blade to write something on her abdomen. 'Get used it' is what it looked like it said, but in the low light and heavy rain it was hard to make out.<br/><br/>"Come on....Let's get her inside" Jacob said solemnly.
