Chapter 12: On The Train

Amtrak Train, Seattle to Whitefish, MT 7:00pm

Sitting down quietly watching trees and hills pass by him as the train sped on to it's next location, Beck took his Iphone out to check out the time. It was seven In the night and Beck could only imagine the shock and terror his mother was feeling now when she came back home to find he wasn't there. He felt terrible about leaving her, but he would have died knowing he let Tori go- and that was something he couldn't live with, not for a second.

Staring down at the trunk next to his feet, Beck thought about one important question to himself, "When is it going to be my time? Why am I always being rescued? Why can't I do anything for anyone" it was a question that was born the moment he realized just how much power Tori had at her disposal. He stood up out of his seat to do some thinking while staring out of another window- it was beginning to snow heavily. Beck closed his eyes and wondered, wondered what kind of life was waiting for him at their next stop.

In the darkness of the other side of the window, Beck opened his eyes and saw an image of a man almost as pale as Tori, he had long silver hair, wore a white shirt and had piercing blue eyes. Whoever it was he came to share some comforting words with him, Beck checked his left and right to see if it wasn't some type of prank- there was no one on the last car but them two.

"Do not cut yourself short of the strengths and abilities you cannot see yet, for I can promise you the time when she screams for help…absolution will belong to you…my grandson"

Beck felt a little better, and a little light headed…actually he felt like he could faint at any moment- and he did. When he woke back up, he awoke up back on his seat and confused. There was a message on the intercom by the train conductor, "10 more minutes till we arrive at Whitefish Amtrak station, all passengers are asked to check twice when disembarking the train. We hope you enjoyed the train ride all the way from Seattle and hope you all have a nice night."

Beck knelt down to open the trunk that held Tori inside, it was already night time so there was no danger of her coming out now. He undid the snaps of the trunk and opened it, Tori lunged out of it and pounced on top of Beck with her weapons out and ready to do damage, her fingers had turned into bone claws and her fangs came into view. Beck felt the sharp claws interlocking with his fingers, he dared not move for he feared losing a finger. Tori's eyes were so black they seemed to pierce his soul, her fangs looked as sharp as knives.

"TORI! TORI! IT'S ME!….it's me Beck…Don't hurt me Tori…please" He pleaded with her.

Tori's fingers returned to normal, her fangs retracted into her mouth and all her vampire facial features were gone. She propped herself up on Beck and smiled, Beck breathed a sigh of relief when she changed back to normal. He sat up and hugged her, hugging was good- but Tori just wanted suck face. That worked too for Beck, a moment to stick his tongue in her mouth and hers in his is what they needed.

"C'mon Tori we gotta get off of this train, we just crossed into a city in Montana…where are we gonna hide?" he asked her, Tori knew there were many options available for her since she was young and female- but she was taken now. She couldn't go sleeping in the houses of different men anymore, she belonged to Beck- now it was her turn to provide him with a home and protection. She grabbed the trunk and lead them out the back of the train car, she scoped out an area away from the city that had a home- it bordered a frozen lake.

"Hold on to my back Beck and whatever you do don't let go ok!" Beck held on tightly to her waist and prepared himself for whatever she had planned, Tori held on to her trunk and squatted- with a great power she leaped up into the night sky.

Outside

Beck almost lost all of the air that had been circulating in his lungs with that giant leap into the sky, when Tori was at her peak, she "flew" away from the frozen lake and into the middle of some woods. He kept his eyes closed the whole time, he could tell they were very far up from any land and dared not look down.

Using a special ability located in her pupils, Tori could basically switch between normal vision to Thermo vision and Telescopic vision. When she was in normal vision her pupils were normal, using thermo vision her pupils glowed white- and when using telescopic vision her pupils dilated. When there was a good landing spot, Tori stopped flying and slowly descended back to ground- Beck would be squeezing her half to death if she herself wasn't so strong.

"are we back on the ground Tori? Is it ok to walk now?…" he asked calmly, trying not to sound scared or nervous for her.

"Yes Beck we're back on the ground… and look we're in luck, there's a house nearby and there's no one inside of it right now." she turned to look at him, her pupils were glowing like lasers.

Beck's teenage boy fascinations with heroes and villains and everything unnatural wouldn't let her continue until he asked about her abilities, "I guess you weren't lying about flying when you came to visit me…guess I should have believed you more Tori"

"Don't worry about that now Beck, it's only going to get colder from here on now."

Beck didn't feel right about everything his girlfriend was doing for him, he felt like such a child- no, more like a burden. Now was the time to do something for her, he grabbed the trunk from her and held it all the way till the couple got to the house. Both Beck and Tori couldn't believe their luck, to come across any kind of home- they came across an abandoned small Chateau.

"Man all of this is heavy…but I can't drop it like some little girl…I just can't not in front of her!" he argued in his head, "Hey babe…race you to our new home…ready…GO!"

Tori was frozen in place and with a big smile on and rosy pink cheeks, he had called her his "babe" she knew why it felt so different from all the words of endearment men called her. He never lusted after her, he was trying honestly and sincerely to make her feel good, and displaying what strength he had- even if it only meant carrying her trunk. Beck, surprisingly had beaten Tori to the front door of the Chateau, she didn't mind losing so long as it was to him. Beck placed the heavy trunk on the ground and turned the knob, it was unlocked - the door opened by itself.

Tori scoped out the interior of the home with her Thermo vision, it appeared empty to her now, but any sign of trouble from a lingering thief or wild animal and Tori would be there to make easy work of them. Beck entered first and searched for a light switch on the walls, his hand then rubbed against something familiar and flipped it up with his index finger. Like a godsend, the lights in the house turned on all at once. The interior of their new home was beautiful and modern, the outside looked very English but inside of it had all the luxuries of the twentieth century. Beck gathered all his strength and took the trunk into their new home- something felt very odd to Tori, why out of all the places to find refuge would this place be here?

Not to far from their home, standing on the frozen lake was a boy in dark clothing. His Pupils glowed white as Tori's did, he smirked and vanished into the wind.
