Chapter 17: Hardly a Competition
Beck and Tori
After some comforting words and a passionate kiss, Beck stood up from the floor and walked over to look himself over in a mirror located in his closet and grab some clothes to wear. His body became a bit more muscular, his skin color became a bit less pale than Tori's- he had managed to retain some color in his skin. Nothing much else had changed from the outside, it was in his DNA where there was the most change. Their room light bothered his eyes a bit, almost like when staring at a flashlight's light long enough there's the light after impression that won't go away from the eyes.
"The lamp light looks and feels kind of strange to me Tori…is that normal?"
"Well it isn't the sun Beck, it's light won't hurt you, it'll become tolerable the more you're around it- I Promise"
Beck walked out of their room and checked the next room to see if Isaac and Ellie were around, Tori followed closely behind holding his hand firmly. The door wasn't locked so Beck and Tori walked right on in, the sheets of the bed were folded neatly- there was however a note on the bed with an envelope next to it. Beck grabbed the Note and read it aloud,
To Beck and Tori:
Me and Ellie want to thank you two for allowing us to stay the night at your parents house. I really enjoyed cooking for everyone last night, I only wish Tori could have joined us. I know we may only be 1 year apart in age but you two are really grown up for your ages, tell you what, there's this party being thrown over in the city in this location, Kalispell Ave, E 1st St Building 700 on Sept 8th.it would be really cool if you and Tori could come along, you guys won't regret it."
"What do you think Tori, do you think we should go? He did make food for us…me actually" he asked Tori.
"We aren't really doing much at the moment Beck…I guess if you want you go, I can't argue with you. Not after what you had to see."
She had a point there, still he wanted to get used to using his new abilities and they had plenty of time before the party. The couple stepped out of the room and headed outside, Beck remembered the envelope on the bed and took it with him- he opened it while Tori lead them outside the house.
The Woods
Walking out of their home and into the night, Tori wanted Beck's first time as a vampire in training to be memorable- unlike hers where she had to teach herself everything. There was a nice spot in the woods located a few miles away from their home where there was circular space with no trees or bushes, it was perfect for teaching. Inside the envelope Beck had tore open were 500 dollars, it was payment from Isaac to Beck. He quietly folded the bills and stuffed it in his jean pockets. Tori turned both her hands into claws and sliced away at a nearby tree, her claws ripped chunks of the tree and soon had it falling down on the ground.
The force of it when it fell shook the ground beneath their feet and threw snow that had been on the ground, into the air. It was like they were in the center of the a snow globe and they were the little figurines. Tori's fingers turned back to normal, she turned to him and asked him if he could replicate what she did. "Sure Tori I would like too…but I don't know how I transformed my fingers the last time."
"There are two ways Beck, the first and easiest way is to think of something or someone that makes you angry. Take that feeling and direct at your fingers when you want your blades to come out. The second and more advance way of doing is to manipulate your bone structure in your fingers to change into blades- the second way I have down pretty easy, so it might take you a while for you to learn how to…"
Tori went quiet watching Beck staring at his fingers, they transformed into steel claws before their very eyes. Was he thinking about something painful? Or was he manipulating his bone structures as Tori told him? Whatever he was doing it was working, when his fingers were done changing- Beck stared at his weapons of death and slaughter with an almost sultry smile. He walked up to a tree nearest the one where Tori had messed up, with one mighty swing like he was swinging a bat or at a punching Bag at the gym. Beck tore the majority of the tree and sent it flying into other trees where it crashed and created a loud ruckus, he did it with little effort. Even pumas and lions who scratch at a tree take time to tear the bark off of the tree trunk.
"I can't believe this…not even Daniel was this powerful when I bit him, just a bit more stronger than me…. Still I need to be sure. Hey Babe…how about we compete, see if you can keep up with me"
Did Beck hear her right? was she asking him to compete with her as Daniel and her competed long ago, whatever she was up to, he felt something powerful at his core. Like the desire to prove to her something about him was truly special and rare- or maybe it was to humiliate her. "Fine Tori…let's compete" he answered confidently, Tori winked at him and took off running at a fast pace yelling out "Catch me!"
Beck closed his eyes and took off running after her, his speed increased and increased till it look like he was barely trying. They swerved past trees, bushes and boulders they came across. They left a snow storm behind them in their running, Tori couldn't believe it- even his speed was greater than hers. There was something else up her sleeve, she stopped in her tracks and jumped as high into the air as she could. She left a gale of air behind her on her aerial ascent, Beck looked up at the sky and saw her hovering above the trees. He gave it his best attempt and jumped as well, what he left behind was a loud sonic boom and 10 foot crater on the ground.
Tori saw Beck coming up straight up at her, They glanced at each other for only a short of a few milliseconds before he passed her entirely.
