Chapter 11: A Flash in The Night

Beck's Bedroom

It was late and Beck's mom would be getting home soon, Beck walked into his bedroom and saw Tori walking out of the building with her trunk to wait for a taxi to take her to an unknown location. When the taxi did come, All Beck wanted to do was cry- and that's what he did. It was all truly over, his last and only friend perhaps in forest lake- utterly gone.

There was still time to go back to school and work out, Bexk even thought about jumping into the pool to take a swim. He didn't worry about what his mother though when she saw that he wasn't at home, she knew that most times he stood late helping kids with projects or helping around the school- he was in many ways a genius.

Esmeralda High School, Pool

Beck placed his clothes in a locker and locked it, he walked out into the pool area wearing swimming trunks and a towel draped over his shoulder. There were still so many students at school, most of them located at the pool area. Beck jumped into the pool, but not before turning on the radio someone left behind to a different station. Beck loved alternative, but what he loved more was music not even in English- a song playing by a Swedish band called Secret Service was just starting. Beck turned up the volume and began to swim around.

Outside of the school, Marc and Tony started a fire in a dumpster that was situated close to some cars belonging to the gym teacher- it was to get Mr. Adryan away from the pool for only a while. Tony came running into the pool area to tell Mr. Adryan about the fire. With the gym teacher out, Marcus came in shouting, telling everyone to leave. Beck knew it meant trouble only for him, he swam to one of the corner's of the pool and got out. He ran back to the locker room and went to unlock his locker, Marcus and Tony came and dragged Beck back to the pool.

"Let me go! You god damn bastards! My back stop! STOOPP!" all the shouting and pleading in the world wouldn't persuade his bullies to stop.

"Tony grab his arms and legs, then throw him when I say go….GO!"

Beck was thrown back into the pool and had no way out this time, Marcus squatted down and grabbed a bundle of Beck's hair. He pulled out a razor blade from his coat pocket and told Beck,

"Alright listen up pretty boy…you fucking messed up my nose and face a few days ago. So this is how things are going to work out…if you can hold your breath for three minutes, I'll just give you a small cut on your cheek. And if you can't…I'll mess up your face with this blade- how's that sound to you?"

"Three minutes? But that's impossible…I can't hold my breath that long" pleaded Beck.

"Well that's your problem not mine, now take a deep breath and…here we go!" shouted Mathew.

He dunked Beck's head in the water and kept him there, Marcus said nothing but inside of himself Tony felt this was taking things to far. Beck did his best to continue to hold his breath, Tony needed to say something.

"Marcus this is a really bad idea, maybe we should just let him back up and go," Marcus didn't like the idea one bit and responded, "Unless you want to continue breathing air then I suggest you shut up!, you didn't have to come with me, I could have done this all by myself"

Beck was running out of air and was about to pass out quickly, above the water there was a sound of a crash and wall plaster breaking on the floor. Screams and struggle were heard, mostly of terror and pleads from the boys. Far away the severed head of Tony fell In the water, then his severed torso. Lastly, Marcus's head came off and so did the arm holding down Beck. Beck came up for air and held his body up on the edge of the pool, blood stained hands cupped his cheeks and he saw who it was that saved him. Tori's eyes were amazing, even if there was blood around her face- she helped him up out of the pool and hugged him.

Oregon Amtrak

Sitting comfortably inside a train, Beck looked out a window eating some starburst. Situated under him was a trunk. Inside of it was Tori, Beck received a text message on his Iphone from her. It read "I love you Beck…Kiss" Beck smiled and texted her right back… "I love you too Tori… Bigger Kiss"

Beck finished his last piece of candy and watched the sun set over the hills and forest of the Oregon state. Where the two were heading only time would tell.

Story Details

One In The Same- both films basically end the same way, except the actors don't have cell phones like in this story. Both of them end with the female actors spelling K.I.S.S in Morse code on the trunk, then the boys reply back with the same answer.

Let The Old Dreams Die- there was an epilogue for LTROI that was written by the original author John Ajvide Lindqvist, but my continuation is completely different and original….that begins in chapter 12.

A Flash in The Night- this chapter was dedicated to the song that Secret Service made for the original film.
