I am one of those who where killed. Head partially severed, partially electrocuted then dumped barely alive in a pool of piranhas.
What remained of my body was never found. Now I pay the same favors through others I posses. My name was Annabelle Taylor. Friends called me Belle. But now, my name is Piranha.
