"… and thus the Police Precinct was saved by Vincent Keller. . . The war hero"
I switched off the TV. Once again I was all over the news and that cannot be pretty! The more people want to know about Vincent Keller the more complicated it gets.
My life? Anything can not be more messed up than mine, a twisted fantasy of fate or someone already in their purgatory. When I recall my past it appears like I am having a word about someone else. The fact it was my own life is almost blur. My early days in High School with JT, my past all seems like a dream which I have woken up from. Like I never had that life.
People talk about destiny and destiny leading their way how does that even stand for me? My own brothers had to be killed so that I can join the army and get this corrupted DNA and end up here as a beast?
To all the people out there I am a war hero with amnesia; to my parents I am probably dead. It has been 10 years since my life as a living monster, my Dark days. But I cannot recollect any of those memories.
The truth is I am rather a war machine, I kill to survive, to hide and to live. Did all those people I killed really deserve any of this? Most of them didn't know who they were working for or what they were after. May be they also had their reasons, may be they also had a family back at their homes. Why were they fated to be killed by me?
"The old Vincent would have never . . ."
Catherine voice chimed in my head.
There was something odd about that woman. She never seems to be terrified by me. I've never seen fear in her eyes. It's like she is one of them who made me, but the fact is she didn't expose me when she had a chance. It seemed very confusing, she seems like a puzzle – I can't figure if she wants to help me or she is in force with someone to kill me . . . and very recently control me.
She said I had lost my human side which I proudly defended that her family had brought me in this curse, but the truth is she not responsible for what her mother did. Neither am I for being this, inhumanly or whatever she likes to call me. Yesterday, she trusted me, a beast, and well, what other reasons did she have to save her friend. To save her friend. Only. This is what humans do. They form packs of "normal" people and hunt the "odds" of the society. And I am that odd she and her society want to shackle up and control.
She can't be trusted. She tried to save her father, the very man who had me captive and erased my memories. What a grand defense theory she built that night for preventing me from killing him. She stood between me and my handler and shot me.
I am a beast. I am not human. But that night when she looked at me she was not scared. Not at all. It seemed she had the very exact idea who I am and that version of me I cannot remember. She knows my secret and it's seemed like I had trusted her before. How come I trusted her? Why would agent Reynolds had to protect her from me? Had to erase my memory? Does that mean her and me . . .?
I was startled by the sound of the door of the boat house being closed. For a while I was deeply into my thoughts that I had lost the track of everything.
Tori came into my boat house. She gave me a one sided smile and her eyes focusing on me. She was finally recovering from everything that happened the previous day. This young girl had a lot on her. Being a beast, her father's death, her new life with me and yet again my past.
"How are feeling now?" I asked her.
She sauntered her way in and came to sit beside me.
"I feel absolutely fine now. Thank you for saving me Vincent. If you weren't there I can't even imagine what would have happened to me!"
She kissed my cheek to thank me.
I took her hand in mine. "Actually it's hard to believe but Catherine kind of saved you"
She pulled away her hand from my grip and looked away in distrust. When she looked back she still was not okay with it. But instead she gave a smirk.
"She was the one who caused all the trouble! She was obsessed with the jewel and arrested me then she shot me with a tranquilizing gun and when I woke up knocked me down!"
"About that . . ." I began, "You are just new in this. You have to be very careful with yourself, not letting an adrenalin rush on your blood."
She frowned, "They had guns!"
"Yes. You need to learn more about controlling it"
She finally smiled slightly. "Glad I got you here to teach me."
"And we must be careful about our public exposure Tori" I said, "That news paper thing just brought more troubles. Being uncovered like this is not safe. We also lost the necklace. We have no idea where to find it."
Her smile turned in to pursing lips and then another frown.
"I don't know what Catherine has convinced you last night but you certainly should not listen to her." She said sticking her eyes on me "this is your life Vincent, our life and we are not afraid of who we are. Especially we don't have anything to be ashamed of. And we must get our freedom. Those people who think we are disgusting, have not right to decide what's good for us! "
"You are right"
"And at least not Cat! Her mother made you this, her father tried to kill you! I mean who knows she is trying to get you weak so that she can finish her father's unaccomplished jobs. Otherwise, why would she keep him alive?"
I tried to figure this sudden outbreak of her. "Is this about Catherine?"
She raised both of eyebrows, looking upset. "I only know she has the lineage of all the bad guys who tried to make things worse for us. And now she knows the jewel can cease a beast's powers. I am worried about you. I don't know what so called past you two shared but I don't want her to take advantage of that."
"Tori!" I smiled at her. "I don't even know that past. And nothing cannot be stronger than this connection we share"
"I don't want to lose you."She enclosed me in an embrace. "If there is one person I need to understand me that is you Vincent"
She suddenly welcomed me in a kiss. There was something in her smell or her touch which caused me out of breath. There was this mysterious bond that tied me to her. But nevertheless I didn't feel like I should leave her as she entangled her tongue with mine. There was no undoing.
Except for a few minutes later my phone rang. It was JT. Man that guy always calls at the wrong time!
"Hey JT what is it?" I asked keeping my voice calm.
He said hurrying "I have some news you must come to my place as soon as possible!" and he hung up.
Tori looked at me rising one eyebrow curiously.
"We should be going" I told her. "I think JT found something important for us."
Author's Note: I confirm you this is Not Vincent/Tori fanfic. This is just the present situation and things are about to fall apart soon. Hope you follow me in the next chapter. Thank you for reading this.
