Chapter 8: When The Red Flows

Lake Forest Park, Beck's Apt.

Upon arriving back home, Beck was welcomed with the nagging of his mother who was on the phone with the principal. Beck faced serious consequences if he continued on fighting in school, for one thing his mother couldn't believe that her son could hurt anyone physically let alone even hurt a fly. Beck sat down on the kitchen table and listened to what his mother was telling him. He was listening to what she was saying in one ear, but letting it all come out the other ear, he didn't care if he broke marcus's nose or if he got suspended, he got what he deserved.

The only thing on his mind was what happened last night, he couldn't get it out of his head. The way he and Tori cuddled, they way she smelled and just how close they were now was all bringing a smile out of him and making him blush. If his mother knew there was a strange girl who got naked and jumped into bed with her son, she would tear the skin off his ass and probably do the same to the unknown Jane, of course that would never happen.

When the nagging was over in the kitchen, Beck walked back to his room to get started on homework. There was something Beck wanted Tori to take part in after he went outside to greet her, there was this thing that friends did to swear loyalty to each other. In his story that he was writing when he wasn't doing anything in particular, his characters all took part in a blood oath with loved ones and friends. Swearing loyalty to each other no matter what happens to them, he brought his kitchen knife with him just to be sure.

Outside in the courtyard Beck encountered Tori sitting on the picnic table waiting for him, she still wore the same sweater and jeans, the same beanie and had shoes on this time, like last time. He went over to her and sat next to her, there was a place he wanted to take Tori to in the school where they wouldn't be bothered and could be alone.

Recreation Room, Basement of Esmeralda

The pair traveled from the courtyard all the way to Beck's school, there was an unlocked door in the back where teenagers from school went to smoke, drink play and even have sex. It was surprising that no one had bothered to lock the door or clean the place out. Beck jogged all the way to the crumbling metal door, Tori just walked with no sign of hurry from her.

Inside, Beck closed the door behind them and began explaining to Tori what he did on the frozen lake today.

"Today Marcus and his stupid friend tried to push me into a hole In the ice, they said they wanted to watch me swim."

"Beck…" she said his name quietly.

"But then I did what you told me to do, I hit him hard. Then Tony came In and we started fighting…I hit Marcus so bad that he began bleeding from his nose"

"Beck…[Beck turns on lights] Well done Beck" Tori congratulated him with a smile and wink.

Beck smiled back in joy, he took a seat on an old couch that sat along side other sofas. But what Beck came here for was for nothing related to sex or other teenage activities. Beck was serious about the blood oath, he took the kitchen knife out of his coat pocket and held the blade close to his palm.

Tori went around checking out the room, she pressed buttons on an old 80's cassette radio and looked at posters on the wall that went as far back at the 60's. she was curious as to why Beck brought her here, she's never stepped inside a school so this was her first time. "What did you want us to do Beck…talk, maybe…kiss [giggles] just kidding"

Beck thought hard about what he was going to do, he gave it his best go and quickly slashed his own palm with the kitchen knife. He got passed the pain and closed his palm, Tori came around to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. Beck opened his hand and showed his blood to Tori, the brunette backed up slowly and watched the blood trickle down from his palm and drop on the floor. There were small growls coming from her, she did her best not to lose control…but she hasn't fed in a while.

"It's a blood oath Tori…you don't have to cut yourself, just prick your palm with my knife and then we mix…Tori…are you ok?" he said in response to her shivering.

Tori fell on her hands and knees and lapped up the blood on the floor like some thirsty dog. Beck was a bit shocked at what he was seeing, Tori looked up at him with yellow colored eyes and facial features that looked almost demonic.

"Beck…get out of here…leave me Beck…leave me!" Tori took off running out the door and headed back home, Beck was left alone. He was confused, maybe it was all a bad idea from the start.

Tori, Front of Diner

Tori ran as far back as to the diner she and Beck went in last night, she climbed up a tree and waited for someone to come out of it or from any other store. When they did, she would pounce on them whoever they might be. A couple who were arguing about the other cheating on them came out of the diner ready to go home, the husband was physically well built and wearing nothing but a black stretch shirt, black jean and boots. his wife, a blonde was attractive and searching through her purse for something.

The husband went over to open the door of his car, with the blonde just below Tori, the brunette made her move. "And I'm telling you that when I look into your eyes I can see that you're lying…"

"Crystal can you please just stop with the accusations already! You know I didn't cheat on you…"

"MALCOLM OH MY GOODD HELP ME! AAHHH! THIS BITCH IS BITTING ME!"

Shouted out his wife from pain and terror, The husband who was actually an off duty cop from another county dropped his car keys on the snow and went over to help his wife. With one powerful muscle packed kick to her head, the husband kicked Tori off his wife. Tori was only momentarily dazed before running off back home, the man had a concealed weapon [gun] with him and thought about shooting Tori, but his wife needed medical attention immediately.

"This wasn't over" he thought, now that he had a clear idea where she lived, he would be paying her a visit soon.

September 3, 2012, Sick day

Arriving home from school last night feeling sick to his stomach, Beck missed out on a school day. He was angry at himself for scaring Tori away, but when he though about it more while sleeping…it was her who actually scared him most of all. He read and wrote enough horror stories to now know what she was, but he needed vocal proof from her that she was in fact what she was.

Beck sat in front of his computer continuing his horror story called, "She's the right one for me" a story about a boy who falls in love with a vampire girl while being tormented by kids. He though it was ironic and funny since it mirrored what was happening to him in real life, he had the perfect ending for it when it got to that moment. He was enjoying the time alone when all of a sudden…there was a small knock on his front door. He knew it couldn't it have been his mother, she was off at work, and Marcus and Tony didn't know where he lived. He stepped out of his room to see who it was, he had a bat close by just in case things got out of hand.

Beck opened the door slowly, he wasn't surprised to see that it was Tori standing in front of him, smiling too.

"Hi Beck…" she said innocently with her hands behind her back.

"Hey Tori…" he responded, none to excited to see her.
