Chapter 16: Once Bitten

Beck Oliver, Master Bedroom 11:30 morning

[Sept 6, 2012]

Sleeping in later than usual for him was Beck Oliver, last night could have been described in so many ways, but incredible and breath taking were the words he chose to describe the loss of his virginity to Tori Vega. What he couldn't describe yet was his body's descent into Vampirism, a journey which could make him stronger and balanced or out of control and dangerous.

Beck tossed and turned in his sleep, he had cold sweat beads forming all over his body. It was a normal reaction from the bite Tori had given him during their mating session, Tori had sat by his side the moment she got up from bed. Watching him flinch and grab on to the sheets was normal, she was only glad that he wasn't turned into a vampire by force- like her. Just as she knew the name, face and person who turned her into a vampire in 1865- she would have a lot of explaining to do to Beck when he awoke from the dream he was having.

Tori grimaced at a thought that Beck was going to be most affected by when he saw that point of her life, she kissed him on his lips and went into the bathroom to take a shower. When he awoke she predicted it would already be nighttime, it was then that she would help him in dealing with his new powers.

Beck's Dream Journey

[1865]

In the beginning of Beck's dream he stumbled in on the same room where he saw Tori getting bitten wildly by the shadow man that he could still not pull an identity out from, from there he followed Tori escaping her home and taking refuge in abandoned warehouse far from her town of Concordia, Kentucky. There she stripped out of her nightgown and underwent a terrible transformation, It was scary and horrifying to say the least. It was here where Tori's first victims were horses she tracked down with her heightened sense of smell, her savagery extended beyond animal and into towns where the last union soldiers patrolled for Confederate rebels.

The union soldiers mistook her for a young prisoner of war the rebels set free or lost.

[1880]

Fifteen years later after being turned into a vampire, Tori lived with some wealthy men in Virginia in the Progressive era. She shared a life of luxury and popularity of the wealthy men who took care of her and her needs. When ever the gents who killed for her and brought her enough blood to last her for months, they always ended up asking her to come to bed with them. She appreciated them helping her in continuing to survive, but she only went as far to allow them to hold her. Unsatisfied at her refusal to put out for them, Tori went on and lived by herself for ten years in South Carolina- she needed something to do when she wasn't killing people, so she went into mills to work as a child laborer.

[1909]

29 years after that era had passed, Tori was living with now ex boyfriend Daniel who she met on the road to Illinois. Tori had fallen in love with him and turned him into a vampire, he was 18 yrs old just a bit older than her- so that meant she could do more with him than with a grown man. Beck watched as they did everything together, played games, competed with each other and even hunted together.

One particular moment in Illinois at this time where they hunted was in a city called Cairo, the hanging of Will James "The froggie" was taking place. Daniel was one of a few white boys who was sympathetic to the "negro" at the time, he wanted Tori to help him kill as many people in the mob to send a message to the city of Cairo. After the murder of 10 white men, 5 white women and death of 1 white child- Daniel became obsessed with his and Tori's infamy. Tori only did it in protest of the hanging, but later on Daniel would become obsessed with murder and killing.

He wouldn't just kill to collect blood for him and Tori, he wanted to make a name for himself. At an apartment he and Tori stayed in, Beck came into view of Daniel plowing Tori from behind. He had to take a second look if that was truly his girlfriend, Tori Vega. Upon getting a closer look- Beck couldn't believe that it was Tori. And the hole Daniel was fucking her in was none other than her asshole. He couldn't view anymore and prayed for this dream to end right now- but it didn't, at least not yet.

There was a "tear" in the rest of his dream that skipped almost 46 years of her life, it got back on track with her and Steven in 1955, the boy who was now a man and presumed dead for a time made Tori happy. It was in this part of her life that he discovered he had like many men before him killed for her, but in the end had to sacrifice himself in order to seek freedom from her. The dream came to an end when they reached the point in time they were at now, Beck walked into an infinite white space, not knowing where he would end up or if he was going anywhere. He felt worse than a second choice, he felt like the last fucking choice in her life.

"What can I do…I can't compete with 147 years of living." He felt envious of her, Angry and Lied to. He fell on his knees and began crying, in the center of this infinite whiteness appeared a very transparent figure of a teenage girl in a beautiful white dress, long and flowing. She held Beck as if he was her brother and spoke words to him, some words he couldn't make out because what she was saying didn't sound like no language ever recorded. There was one word that he recognized, "Absolution" he wondered when this absolution would come if ever.

9:00pm

Just as Tori had predicted, Beck was finally waking up from his dream- and by the way his body looked more muscular and the color of his eyes had turned black, he had conquered the pain and was now a vampire. Tori was lying back on their bed headboard with Beck's head resting on her thighs. He had the sickest idea of grabbing Tori by her throat and crushing the life out of her, he sat up from his bed and stretched his arms out.

"Beck…oh thank G-" Tori stopped short of speaking in response to the 6 inch steel claws replacing Beck's fingers.

He turned and grabbed Tori by her throat and lifted her up with little trouble, Tori's hand turned into bone claws and her fangs came out in response to the danger. Beck's own Fangs came out with one major difference, they were made out of steel instead of bone. Beck and Tori hissed at each other, Tori didn't want to hurt him but she really couldn't break out of his hold- he was stronger than her. His face was scarier than hers and his weapons were far more lethal than hers, he flung her across the room where she hit her back on the wall.

"STOPP!" a voice yelled out to him from within his mind.

Beck's claws, fangs and monstrous facial features faded away, he doubled over in pain and fell on the floor. Tori's weapons and fangs too went away, she went over to him without worrying about being attacked again.

"It's ok Beck it's ok…just…just…"

Beck threw up a black tar like substance from his mouth, like black blood. He spit up the last few bits and sat back up, he leaned back on the wall and stared at Tori. "Don't look at me Tori… how could you look at me last night after he was FUCKING YOU IN THE ASS!"

"I'm sorry Beck…I really am…but that was over 103 years ago, I don't know if you saw it or not but I actually left him after he cheated on me with another girl. I've never seen him again after that…I don't even know if he's still alive or not." Beck didn't care about any of that, he put his hand up when Tori tried to get closer to him.

"You know what hurts the most about that Tori…is that I can't go digging in my own closet that's just as equally hurtful to throw at you…maybe because I haven't lived long enough to get my hands dirty, I don't why I'm even saying this to you Tori but…I still love you…but one day absolution will belong to me…ME!" Tori blinked and stood quiet, she had no idea what to say or think…she just wanted to cry.

"But don't worry about that now Tori…you want to help me with-" Tori threw herself at him and cried on him, she hugged him tighter than she ever did with any of the numerous men and boys in her arms. Beck held her with only one arm, caressing the back of her head so tenderly.

"whatever you have to do to get your absolution Beck, please do everything you can to make it yours…but please don't be mad at me…Please"

Beck had an emotionless face on and closed his eyes.
