Chapter 9: Can I Come In?

Tori and Beck, Beck's Apt

Tori and Beck looked at each other without saying much, Beck neither smiled or frowned. Tori on the other hand kept her smile on, she hoped Beck wasn't mad at her for running away from when he cut his palm last night. She hoped she would tell him everything about her but only…if he would let her in.

"Hi Beck…can I come in?" she sounded almost nervous when asking him.

Beck said nothing and only gestured her to come in, she wasn't about to step in without vocal approval from him. "You have to invite me in Beck, I need permission to enter your hou-"

"Or else what!?" Beck snapped at her, cutting her off.

"what happens if you walk in anyway? Is there something blocking your way?" Beck pretended to be a mime pressing his hands on an invisible wall in front of her.

Tori didn't think it was very funny, she stepped inside anyway to only show him something terrifying. Beck closed his door and locked it, he turned around to talk to her. The Brunette lowered her head, balled her hands into fists and began to shiver. Beck thought she was messing with him, trying to scare him for making her feel bad. That wasn't the case, Beck backed up till his back pressed on the door. There were growls coming from Tori, blood began to form and leak from her forehead, eyes, ears and nose. As a matter of fact it leaked from her back, hands and chest too.

"STOP! YOU CAN COME IN!….you can come in" Beck hugged her tightly, he though she was dying in front of his eyes.

"What are you Tori…really" he questioned.

Living Room

Sitting on a ottoman wondering what was going on with his girlfriend, Beck didn't know where to start. Tori sat on a couch just mere inches away from him, the blood stains on her face and on the rest of her body definitely didn't make it easy to look at her directly. Beck began with some questions he needed answers to,

"Are you a vampire Tori?" Beck began, Tori raised her eyebrow and looked down on the ground.

"I need blood so that I can continue living…so yeah Beck, I am a vampire."

"So then…are you like…dead?" he hedged, Tori lifted her head and stared at him with those dark brown eyes.

"No….can't you tell?" she answered.

"Sorry" Beck said, sorry that he would think that of her.

Tori took in a deep breath and spoke familiar words to Beck, "Hey Marcus…you scared now? What was that….I couldn't hear you! What the fuck you do you think about me now!" Tori pointed her finger directly at Beck's shocked face, he almost fell off the ottoman he was sitting on. Tori moved back to the couch she was sitting on. she looked and sounded as If she was talking to his bully directly.

"Those were the first words I heard you say Beck…"

Beck was confused, it sound like Tori was accusing him of wanting to murder Marcus. If that's what he sounded like when he spoke to himself, then it definitely sounded like he wanted to kill his enemy, not just hurt them. "I'm not a killer…" he replied in his defense of his own statement.

"No…but you would murder…if you wanted to…right?"

"Yeah…I would, maybe" he answered honestly.

Tori stood up from the couch and went over to sit on Beck, she grabbed his face and looked dead into his eyes.

"Beck I do it because I have to…if I don't…I'll be the one who ends up dead. Please Beck…just be me…be me for a while" Tori did a strange mind trick on Beck, this allowed her to transfer memories of her past life into his head.

Beck closed his eyes when Tori asked him to "be her" for a while, he had no idea what she meant by that. when he opened his eyes, he watched a scenario of Tori who had been sleeping on her bed late one night. Beck didn't know what time period he was in but by what Tori was wearing when she was sleeping, it told him it was probably before the 1900's. Beck's mind panned in closer to Tori, her bedroom was only lit by a simple candle. Her room was small enough for one bed and one window.

In Beck's peripheral vision, a black shadow came in through her window and pounced on her. Beck couldn't see very well who it was, but whoever it was he was attacking Tori like a wild animal. There was nothing he could do for her but watch her get bitten all over her neck and shoulders by this mystery man. The scene changed from Tori being attacked, to Tori attacking multiple people on the streets of an unknown city. Tori was relentless with the killings and carnage she left behind every time she moved from one town or city to the next. Beck opened his eyes to discover that Tori wasn't in his living room, while he was under the trance she took it upon herself to take a shower and wash off the blood that colleted under her stained clothes earlier.

Beck had turned his Ihome on to play a good old hard rock song. "Bat Country" by Avenged Sevenfold. Beck stood by the cabinet his Ihome sat on and bobbed his head back and forth. The water in the bathroom stopped running and there was an unlocking sound, Tori stepped out of the bathroom and walked into the living room wrapped in a towel. She held her blood stained clothes in one hand, she looked to Beck and bobbed her head back and forth with him, he walked over and grabbed the clothes from her.

"You can borrow some of my mother's dresses if she has any. I'll take these clothes and I'll put them in a bag for you ok" Beck assured her.

Tori handed her clothes over to him and walked into his Mother's bedroom. Beck grabbed a bag from the kitchen and threw in Tori's clothes in it, he tied it up and left it on the kitchen counter. He was curious about something, so he walked slowly to take a peek inside the opening of his mother's bedroom door. There, standing completely naked with her back turned to him, Beck saw bite marks on Tori's shoulders and back. He also saw black circular scars on her lower back and thighs too- was she shot at In the past?

Beck turned when Tori turned, he caught a glimpse of her womanly features far too fast and soon. Beck was blushing and turning red, he was getting something else growing in his pants. He had to do something or think of anything to make the boner in his pants disappear, it came soon when Tori stepped out of the room with a blue skirt and white shirt. They fit loosely on her but made her look good, she decided to pose for him to see what he further thought about her.

"Wow Tori you look really…uumm…" he couldn't find the words to say it, to embarrassed.

"go on Beck…don't be shy…[giggles]"

"You look really…sexy" Beck scratched the back of his head and turned the music off. He went into the kitchen to grab her clothes and hand it to her, Tori had an idea but she wasn't so sure Beck would like it.

"Hey Beck…do you want to come over to my house? I want to show you some things I collected." That idea didn't sound bad to him, Beck just needed a moment to save his story that was still open on his computer. He step into some shoes and walked out of his apartment to go next door with Tori. Unbeknownst to the couple, Malcolm, the husband of the woman Tori attacked last night was going over to pay her a visit.
