Chapter Two: Revelation

Brianna dropped the letter in shock. She couldn't read it any further. Reese was dead. Now she had to go to New Orleans. She ran to the phone and dialed Squid's cell phone number. It rang three times before he picked it up.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Alan! Oh my God," Brianna cried.

"Bri, honey, what is it?"

"R-R-Reese i-is d-dead," she stuttered.

"WHAT!?" shouted Squid into the phone.

"Reese is dead Alan! Dead! We gotta go to New Orleans now!"

"Alright just calm down Bri," Squid whispered hearing the terror in Brianna's voice. He heard the phone fall from her hand and onto the floor. "Brianna?" he asked. No answer. "Brianna!?" he asked again a little louder. No answer. "BRIANNA!" he shouted.

"Alan... That must mean Jason's..." whispered Brianna. The cold realization hit Brianna like when she was seventeen and on a suicidal streak. This hurt worse than the blade cutting through her skin. Worse than watching the blood splatter onto the ground. Jason was kidnapped.

Memories flashed through Brianna's mind.

* Flashback *

"Mommy! Yer back!" cried out little four year old Brianna Lyn Barlow-Synch. In her mother's arms was a little child asleep. Brianna blinked at the little child in her mother's arms. "What's dat?!" asked Brianna curiously as she pointed to the little child. Her mother laughed.

"It's yer little brother Jason," whispered her mother calmly.

"Ooh! Can I see!" squealed Brianna. SHe wanted to see what a baby looked like. He rmother laughed again and lower the little child in front of Brianna. Brianna giggled as the baby cooed in its sleep. "Mommy! Where's daddy?"

"In the garage. He'll be here in a minute," Brianna's mother said as she walked the sleeping baby boy into the other room. Brianna ran through the house looking for one of her older siblings. "SARAH!!!! MARK!!!!" Brianna said excitedly.

* One Year Later *

"Sarah... Get Jason into the closet ok?" whispered Brianna pushing the door shut. Their father was drunk again. "Hurry!" she hissed in a low voice. Sarah stared at her little five year old sister. She was going to take their father's blows. She was too young, but Sarah did what she was told. Brianna had always taken charge in bad situations. Sarah took Jason from his crib and went into the closet and shut the door.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YA!" shouted their father with a slur.

Brianna couldn't hold the door open any longer and she fell to the ground as the door slammed into the wall. Her father stared wildly around the room. He found Brianna... Brianna took each strike, hoping her father wouldn't find Jason. She hit the ground. Screams. Blood. Pain. Darkness.

* One Hour Later *

Brianna woke up in her bed with little one year old Jason giggling at the end of her bed. Sarah was wipping blood from Brianna's forehead and crying at the same time. "S-Sarah?" Brianna asked raspily.

"Hush, mom went to get some bandages for you," Sarah whispered.

Brianna smiled slightly and turned her head slightly to see Jason. Tears slicked down her cheeks. Jason. Her little savior. She was going to protect him no matter what.

* End of Flashback *

"JASON!" screamed Brianna.

"Bri! Calm down! Dammit! I'll be home in a little bit ok!" Squid yelled into the phone over Brianna's cries. There was no answer from Brianna only crying. Squid hung up his cell phone. Brianna was in tears now.

How long had it been since she had to worry about her brother?

Years.

Who would do this? Who!

Brianna covered her face in fear of Jason's little life. He was her brother and she would die for him because he was her little savior. She would gladly die for him, but there was another person in this world that would give Brianna second guesses.

Alan.

Whoever was hurting her like this would regret it. They were never going to forget the pain they'll suffer. When you mess with Jason you mess with Brianna... And no one lived to tell the tale who picked on her little brother.
