Another chapter...
Summary: Tori has seen ghosts for awhile now and she thought that she was the only one who could. Maybe she was mistaken...
The only sound heard in my room was my TV. Beck and I were watching some old TV show. Beck was getting some snacks for us downstairs. After I told Beck about the ghost trying to kill me, he definitely wasn't leaving me alone any time soon. It was probably good too, because Trina wouldn't want to look after me and my parents were out of town so Beck was really the only one who could look after me.
Suddenly it sounded like something had shattered downstairs. This was followed by some words of Beck which I shouldn't repeat. I couldn't help but giggle a little.
"Everything going okay down there?" I asked him giggling. A grumble was heard.
"Just peachy." Beck said very sarcastically. I laughed a little more before continuing to watch the TV show.
The old TV show wasn't that bad to my surprise. It was actually really funny. Of course, my laughs didn't last long. My least favorite ghost of all time appeared. I looked at him with big eyes. What was he going to do with me?
I opened my mouth to scream Beck's name, but the ghost quickly moved towards me and placed a hand over my mouth and nose. The hand didn't go through my face and I could feel it. This indicated how powerful this ghost actually was.
His other hand reached out and grabbed my neck. His hand squeezed with a lot of pressure. This ghost was trying to strangle me. I started to kick and I attempted to pull his hand away, but he was too strong. That same suffocating in the closet spread over my body again.
Why did Beck have to be such a klutz sometimes? My eyes wanted to close. Again I didn't want to let go without a fight. I wasn't going to give this ghost what he wanted even if it meant suffering for it.
Even though there wasn't much oxygen in my brain, I came up with a pretty good idea. I bit in his hand and the ghost felt it. Powerful wasn't necessarily always a good thing. He was so shocked that he let go of my mouth and nose.
"Beck." I managed to choke out since the ghost was still strangling me. The ghost put his hand on my mouth and nose again. I bit in his hand again but this time it didn't work. My struggle against him started anew, but luckily for me I heard footsteps reaching my room.
Beck entered my room. His eyes immediately caught mine. He quickly ran towards me. To my surprise, he started punching and kicking the ghost like he could actually see him. The ghost disappeared and Beck stopped before wrapping his arms around me.
"I really can't leave you alone for a second." Beck said. "I can't believe that he was going to strangle you to death."
My whole body was shaking. I couldn't really respond to Beck, but he understood. "Could you see him?" I asked Beck with a shaky voice after a couple of minutes.
Beck looked at me. "Yeah, I could. Is that a bad thing?" He asked, but he already knew the answer.
I nodded. "That means he is extremely powerful. Those sinisters really need to eat him already."
"I completely agree with you on that one." Beck told me.
"I just don't really understand what he has against you. He doesn't even know you. At least, I didn't recognize him. Why on earth does he want so badly that you die?" Beck asked.
"I don't really know. The last time, that ghost didn't like me because I was helping people into the light. Chris told me that there are more ghosts like that. They don't want to kill me, but they really don't like me because I'm helping people." I explained Beck.
He looked at me with concerned eyes. "Are you saying that more ghosts want to kill you? It's official, I'm making sure that you are never alone again." He said. I laughed a little at his over-protectiveness.
"You're going a little overboard now. I'll be fine. Now it's probably best that you don't leave me, but in the future I will be okay on my own. So now no more overly protecting me, okay?" I asked Beck.
He looked at me doubtingly.
"Okay." I repeated a little louder now.
He grumbled a little. "Fine, but I won't be leaving your side now." He told me. I nodded in agreement and I rested my head against his chest again.
"Are you coming down with me to get the popcorn?" He asked me. I nodded. I really didn't want another near-death experience. One was enough for a day.
We walked downstairs. Beck got the popcorn and I got the drinks. The ghost from earlier showed up again. He looked at me with anger. I swallowed loudly.
"Beck, he's here again." I told him. He quickly pulled me close to him. His eyes were scanning the room if there was any sign of the ghost, but he couldn't see the ghost this time.
The ghost smirked. "Sweet of your boyfriend trying to protect you from me. It may be working for now, but I'll get more powerful." His smirk grew and his body started to transform into a younger version of him in front of my own eyes. "Recognize me now?" He asked still with that very annoying smirk.
I swallowed. I very well knew who this guy was. "Alex Hastings?" I asked. Alex nodded with that creepy smirk. That smirk really needed to be wiped from his face.
"I'm getting back at you. Revenge is sweet." He told me.
"For what?" I asked him. I had no clue how I had harmed him in any way. We were really good friends until he moved to some place in North Dakota. What grudge could he be holding against me?
"You'll figure it out. You're a smart girl." He told me. He disappeared. I was so confused.
Beck looked at me. "I know who he is." I told him.
Yeah, I'm done with this chapter and this twist to the story. Hope you liked it.
