What does Andrea do with, or to, Tori?

Andrea destroys Tori's belongings

Andrea stepped further into the bathroom, you assumed to get a closer look. "Drea, please," you said as you walked toward the bathroom. "Let's just sit down and talk through this, you don't need--"

"Oh, we are WAY past talking, hon. Tori apparently agrees with me, otherwise why would she put me in here? The worst part is that I can see ALL her thoughts and you know what? She actually is attracted to you! At some point or another, she was going to try to steal you away from me, I know it! She did this channeling garbage with a cow and got naked in front of you?! She's a monster, Pete! A freak! The best thing she's ever done is give me her body so I can give her precisely what she deserves!"

"Drea, don't even--"

Before you could speak a full sentence, let alone react, Andrea ran out of the bathroom holding the jug of bleach you'd kept under the sink. She hurried into the guest bedroom and slammed the door. You'd never seen Drea behave anything like this, but it was like the channeling made her totally snap! Her scorched-earth approach to Tori's presence had only just begun, though she seemed to fail to realize that she was lighting a fire under you as well!

You ran to the bedroom door, grabbing the handle and trying to push it open, but Drea had not only locked it, it seemed like she might've pushed the shelf in front of it. Pounding on the door, you kept jiggling the handle. "Drea, stop it! This is insane!"

No answer. For a while, you didn't hear anything, unsure what she might've done. Your biggest fear is that she might try to harm herself, knowing that Tori's injuries would carry over after a channeling. You started to pound against the door with your shoulder, knowing the inner door frames on the older house weren't the most durable. A good hit ought to do it...

You started hearing crashing, snapping sounds after a while. "Drea!" you shouted, but again no response. You heard plastic and metal slam into each other, the cracking of glass, the ripping of fabric. With a loud grunt, you slammed into the door and the frame snapped, letting the door swing open a little as the shelf blocking the door skidded forward. One good shove, and the door was open, letting you see the carnage Andrea had unleashed in such a short amount of time.

Tori's laptop and phone had both been crushed, it seemd like one had been smashed against the other until they both looked inoperable. Piles of Tori's clothes were covered in bleach, staining beyond repair. Other garments had been torn, making sure they were unusable. Worse than all of that, Tori's messenger bag and duffel, filled with her veterinarian supplies, looked like they had been crushed, ruining the contents within.

You looked in horror at Tori's form. Andrea's face had fixed into a sort of maniacal grin, like she was enjoying the opportunity to utterly decimate her rival for your affection. She'd ripped off her shirt and bra, and crudely wrote 'FUCK ME' on her chest and stomach. "I'm just getting started, hon. I think I need to take Tori out on the town now! She's got nothing worth anything here now, but it's just the tip of the iceberg. I need to make it really stick, though!"

You took a step into the room, but Drea took a step back. "Ah ah ah, you stay right there! These words I wrote? They're not for you. You're mine. But Tori here, I'm going to give her away to whoever wants her. I'm sure I can find a nice guy or five to give her what she needs, don't you think? If I do my job well enough, she'll be too embarrassed to show her face in any town in a hundred mile radius! She might as well move to Spiral City once I'm done. Maybe I'll cut off all her hair, maybe some crazy tattoos. The sky's the limit, right? And then when it's all done, I'll be generous, I'll pay her bus fare to anywhere far away from here."

"Andrea, you do any of that, and we're done. You have to realize that, right? The only one behaving like a monster here is you, and I thought I loved you, but... I don't love this. There's no way I would ever forgive you if you did any of that--I shouldn't forgive you for what you've already done! But you can stop right now, calm down, promise to pay for the damage you'd caused, and we'll work through this like adults."

Andrea paused for a moment, looking at you in disbelief. She almost seemed like she couldn't comprehend your logic. How could it be that if she got rid of Tori that she was the one punished? She should be the hero that saved the relationship in that case! For a moment, it seemed like she might be considering your words, but then she turned to look at the window... it was already partly open, it wouldn't take much more for her to lift it up and get out of the house. If she got enough of a head start, you don't know if you could catch her in time to stop her plans!

Does Drea escape? Do you keep her inside? Does she just come to her senses?
