Tori moved into his arms. "Nothing stalkerish about what you just said. I want to be with you, Jacob. You make me feel alive. When I'm with you, I'm something more. I don't want to die. We have a lot of things to do and dying isn't on my list of things to do right now. I want to make love with you, Jacob. Everywhere, explore new places together  and make love there too. We can't die too, Jacob. We just fucking can't." Tori started sniveling, fighting the tears and then she got angry with the circumstances. She jumped back from him.<br/><br/>"Hold on, Jake," Tori said, putting her hand up like she was stopping traffic. "Hold on. No bodies so we have to believe everyone is alive. The land bridge being washed away was a natural occurrence. We have established the house has no power during the day. I don't know where the fuck Fish and Brandi are but I know they were here. My god, that monster had me fuck both of them, you too. We have some options. For one thing, I  know my mom will call the police if I'm not back home soon. I don't miss work and between her and my boss, someone is bound to come looking for us."<br/><br/>Jacob had picked up the drop cloth and stood looking at her as if she had lost her mind.<br/>"Where will they look?" he asked as if her head had just fallen off.<br/><br/>She bit her lip and shrugged.<br/>"Well, didn't you tell someone where you were going?"<br/><br/>"Yeah, Fish, Brandi, Greg and Shanna," he retorted.<br/><br/>"Shit,"<br/><br/>"Exactly."<br/><br/>"So what do I really want to do? Hmm.I guess we walk out. and toss a match on this place as we leave. But Jacob, we need to get out of here before sundown. There is a full moon tonight.That will ramp power up. We can sort of look for the others as we go. " Tori said, glancing uneasily over her shoulder at the open garage door.<br/><br/>Jacob covered the vehicle and then took her hand to lead her out. Tori looked at Jacob . Over his shoulder, in the rafters of the building she stared at an assortment of gardening tools. An old fashioned scythe, a cross cut saw along with some hoes and shovels swung just over their heads. She shuddered and hurried toward the door. Out of the corner of her eye, Tori caught the glimpse of the sunlight glinting on metal in the nearest  horse stall.<br/><br/>Tori frozen in place.<br/>"Jake," she whispered. "What is that?" She pointed with a shaking finger.  She eased to the opening in the door while Jacob stepped into the stall.<br/><br/>"Fuck, fuck, fuck. Motherfucking fuck." he yelled, pulling at his hair.<br/><br/>"What is it?" she asked from around the knuckles in her mouth.<br/><br/>"Brandice. She caught a shovel through the throat." he answered.<br/><br/>"Is she..."<br/><br/>"Dead? yes, I think." he answered.<br/><br/>Tori stepped up behind him, peering around his shoulder. Brandi was on her back and the shovel had fallen from the rafters. It was as if she were a bug that had been pinned through the throat. Her eyes were fixed open and a lake of blood surrounded her.<br/><br/>"Jacob, we have to get out of here."
