All Tori could do was gasp, to ease the tension Beck made a lame joke:
"You never told me you like long princess gowns"
"Cuz I don't have one, aaaaahhhhh, I'm so confused!" she yelled.
"Hey, Tori relax!" he said cupping her face and fortunately, she didn't shake it away.
"Didn't you say you have an aunt here?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Maybe, she can explain this"
"Yes, you're right; maybe this is all a huge misunderstanding"
She took the scroll and put the rest of the stuff up on the table.
They soon heard the door creak
"What are you two doing here?" asked Melissa.
"Nothing, we were just heading out" said Beck a little too quickly. He led the way out followed by Tori and Melissa. The rest of the tour was boring and then they went back to their hotel where they had a nice dinner.
"Yo, Tori, why are you not saying anything?" asked Andre munching on his fries.
"Huh? What?" asked Tori.
"He was asking you about the tour" said Beck eyeing her carefully.
"It was good" she replied, lying. The rest of dinner went quickly, with Beck staring at carefully and Tori trying not to think about too much. They went up to their rooms and they were so tired; all of them fell asleep except Tori and Beck. Tori, on finding her roomies asleep, packed a small bag, with flashlights,the scroll, her cell phone, emergency numbers, the gift she bought at the airport and a map. She quietly snuck out but not too quietly, since someone heard her. Tori was almost to the elevator when she almost screamed on finding a hand on her moth.
"Sshhh" the voice said "Please don't scream" Tori released a breath she didn't know she was holding when she heard that voice.
"Beck! What are you doing here at 12am?"
"What are you doing here?" he asked "Don't bother answering that cuz I already know, and I'm coming with you"
"You can't"
"Why not? I'm not letting you roam the streets of some foreign town alone!"
"Oh and when did you start caring about me?"
"I don't know, now come on!" he said trying to hide the embarrassment. They came out of the hotel gates and Beck took the map from her, who knows where they were walking or for how long?
"My legs are paining, can we have a rest?" Beck whined.
"Stop it, we've only been walking an hour and we're almost there" he said. "Your fault for wearing heels"
"Well, excuse me for wanting to make a good expression on seeing my ant"
"Look, we're hear"
He pointed to a small house. Tori ran towards it and tried to find the doorbell. Beck ran up to her and held her by the arm and pulled her around getting incredibly close.
"Wait, a sec, its 1 am"
"So?" she reached out for the doorbell and rang it. After about a minute, a girl with brown hair, much like Tori's who was in her 20's. She had a surprised look on her face which quickly turned into joy.
"Mom, mom, please come!" she shouted. To their surprise, who else but Melissa to come out.
"I'm sorry we must have the wrong house" said Beck, pulling her away.
"No, Tori, I'm your aunt"
"How do u know me?"
"Come in, I'll explain"
They went in. "Rose, sweetie, go make some drinks, and Tori, Beckett, sit down"
"How do u know my name?" he asked
"Tori, I assume you're here because of the scroll right?"
Tori nodded and handed it to her, meanwhile Rose came back with the drinks
"Here" she said giving it to both of them. Tori drank it fast while Beck took HUGE gulps and both were done in a second. But soon after that, for them, the world started spinning and their minds went blank.
She woke up to the sounds of the birds on the windowsill, weird right? For her, it was her alarm clock that did the chirping. She lifted her head up and opened her eyes to the bright morning sunlight, what did she see? A huge room with a small desk and a cupboard full of books and scrolls. Moreover, her bed was king size, well, queen size with a thousand cushions and pillows and soft pink sheets. She found herself wearing a light blue gown with her hair in a bun. You would have thought it was lovely but for her, it wasn't, she didn't recognize this place, it was neither her bedroom nor her hotel room, heck she didn't even know what she was wearing. In agony and confusion she screamed, making the birds fly away far into the distant mountains.
ooohhhh a huge twist!
