Seeing the handcuffs had brought the dark thoughts back into Jacob's head, the nice clean slate he'd started with after the bath was already starting to fade as his soul started to feel dirty just being in that place, and then hearing Tori mocking the voice of someone scared and chained down had made it only worse. By the time the made it up to the art studio, he could almost feel that dark spirit hoovering behind his head again, and he didn't like it.<br/><br/>Tori wrinkled her nose. "Who would want to hang a picture like that?" she asked.<br/><br/>"You don't want to see these, then," Jacob said as he leaned the canvases back against the wall. The ones he were looking at were particularly morbid, pin-ups with mutilated bodies. He watched on as Tori leafed through them, her face contorting with disgust. Jacob stared down at one, the girl looked like Tori, or maybe just someone related, but the resemblance was definitely there. Images started flashing in his head of the Tori-esque figure writhing in either pleasure or pain as the knife's blade teased her flesh. He shook his head and cleared the disturbing image before Tori could turn and see the reaction.<br/><br/>They blocked the door open and moved back to the hallway. Jacob stayed close to Tori , he felt tension in the air, and didn't want her getting sucked into any more rooms, like last night in the basement. He placed his hands on her exposed hip, the feeling of her warm skin against his was atleast a little reassurance. She felt it, probably thinking he was trying to get in her pants again, and turned in order to check his pupil dilation, he looked fine and shot her a warm smile back.<br/><br/>" You good to check outside or you wanna take a break before we go checking around outside? I wouldn't mind a 'nap' on the bed before we start outside, we've been searching all morning and we've cleared most of the house...well with the exception of the flooded basement...What do you say? You wanna fool around alittle? see what happens?" Jacob said, not able to keep a smile from cracking on his face.<br/><br/>"Jacob! You know how dangerous that is...I mean its not like I don't want to....but..." Tori trailed off, showing her consideration of  the subject.<br/><br/>"Tori, it's day time, we haven't seen a single orb yet....I don't think it's able to watch us...and if we don't find out, how will we know....I promise....scout's honor....If either of our eyes start to go crazy we'll back right off." Jacob said, and before she could answer, he'd reached down and scooped her under her legs, landing her in his arms as he hoisted her up like a new bride, and starting to walk toward the bed chamber.
