Chapter 22: The Blood Lights

Tori and Beck, 11:30 Morning

Inhaling and Exhaling long series of breaths like both of them ran cross country, Beck held himself up on his hands while Tori, laying underneath him tried to catch her breath. They had rocked their pool table and cleared it of the billiards, each and every one of them were inside a hole. Beck and Tori shared one last passionate kiss on their pool table before Beck pulled out of her, he was amazed at just how much different it felt a third time around. It was erotic, hot, pleasure filled and strangely…taboo. Beck lifted his pajama pants back up around his waist and handed Tori her panties she had dropped when they decided to have sex on the pool table.

Tori rolled her white shirt down that was over he breasts back down and casually lifted her panties up her legs and her black button skirt as well, she threw her hair back out of satisfaction and asked Beck if he had the time with him. Beck didn't need no clock to tell him the time, their basement had a small window that looked out into the frozen lake. It was still early in the morning, which meant they couldn't venture outside just yet. Beck closed their game room door and walked back upstairs with Tori. There were a myriad of things they could do while the sun set. Watching TV was always the standard, they could train with other vampire abilities, or they could talk. Beck though watching some TV while talking would work.

Living Room

It was pointless to try to eat some snacks since eating normal food would only make Tori throw up, and all of It was basically tasteless to Beck now. Beck grabbed the remote on top of the cable box and turned the TV on, he changed it to a channel where they showed a certain sponge character cooking up something good. Since it was moving on into 12 in the afternoon, a show came up called Glorious. It featured a teenage girl called Gloria and all her friends who attended a school of mystical arts. They were mages in training.

"So Tori, are there other things you wan to teach me. Like how to fly or transform into a bat…hey wait a minute! Can you transform into a bat? I bet you can" he said like a child meeting someone famous or just his favorite hero.

"No Beck I can't turn into a bat, because if I could then you would actually be having sex with a bat…would you like that on your conscious babe, having sex with a bat" Beck actually thought about it, Tori could only chuckle. But she got serious just as quick.

"Beck look and listen to me…I love you, I love you so much that I don't want anything horrible to happen to you ever again. But I also shouldn't baby you, you're a man after all Beck and men shouldn't need women to protect them, at least not all the time"

"Tori…you're the only other girl whose ever called me that…a man. My mother called me her "perfect man" when I was living with her…look i know what you're saying Tori. You're probably so used to protecting the people you had feelings for that you forgotten what it was like for people to protect you."

Beck scooted over closer to Tori, embracing her in his arms and resting his face on her head. She raised her head so she could kiss him on the lips, Beck closed his eyes and decided to tell her what he meant by absolution would be his.

"Tori…you remember when I told you that absolution would be mine after I woke up from transforming. I meant that when the time came to protect you from someone or a group of people that are truly evil, truly terrible…I would revel in killing them, I want to take pleasure in the ultimate act of defense- protecting the one I love."

Tori smiled and took Beck down with her to rest on the couch, Beck spooned her and kissed her cheek and temple. "you really want to protect me that badly Beck…you really do?"

"I do Tori…I want to protect you, the way a man is suppose to protect his future wife. I also want to make you feel good, every day, night, anytime." Tori reached over to grab his butt and pull him closer to her, Beck placed a leg over her own and hugged her as tight as she wanted. The couple fell asleep with the TV still going- but that didn't bother them.

7:00 pm

When the sun finally set, it was dark enough for the couple to go outside. As soon as Beck woke up, he shook Tori to get her up. She sat up from the couch and rubbed her eyes, Beck stood up and walked over to the kitchen sink to splash some cold water on his face. With his eyes finally awake as well as himself, he was eager to find out what Tori was going to teach him tonight.

Tori stretched and yawned, when she did, her fangs grew out and went back in when she closed her mouth.

"It looks pretty dark out Beck, I guess it's no surprise that I want to teach you something new. Tonight we're going to learn if you have night vision and thermal vision like me…or if you'll once again surprise both of us with a strange power."

Beck smiled to himself and went upstairs to grab his shoes to go outside. Tori didn't mind going outside without shoes so she went out to go wait for him, with shoes on his feet Beck closed their home door and traveled into the woods with Tori.

The Woods [The Sticks]

Inside the area Beck nicknamed "the sticks" for the abundance of trees, Beck was eager to learn how to look at the world like marines in battle or like snakes who use thermal vision to hunt. At their spot where Beck surprised Tori by surpassing her in speed, power and ability- she decided to explain to him how to activate his special visual spectrums.

"This is a lot different than forcing your fangs or claws out Beck, a lot more energy consuming than running and attacking. To activate night vision, take all of the energy stored in your body and run it up to your eyes. I know it sounds odd but try to imagine all of your energy building up in your eyes, when you feel a "heaviness" on your eyelids- open them. Open your eyes and you'll have night vision available to you. After you have that vision down, simply roll your eyes and thermal vision will be waiting for you. Go on and take a stab at it already."

An hour went by and Beck was still having trouble trying to get the whole "energy" in the eyes thing going. Slicing and knocking down trees was far more easier than trying to acquire night vision. He tried and he tried but still nothing was happening, Tori went out further into the sticks to sharpen her claws and punch some trees. Beck tried something else to help him, the only thing ironically that could make him stronger is what made him weaker- the thought of his bullies. The way they laughed at him, picked on him and beat him up in school made him cry but also got the energy flowing into his eyes. With the sensation of heaviness on his eyelids, Beck fought through it and opened his eyes.

What he had gained was something so ancient, he was the only one who had it in the entire world. Tori came back with a buck's severed head nestled under her arms to show Beck how to make weapons from horns. Standing In the center of the Sticks with his left eye glowing red like a streetlight and his right eye glowing white like a bright flashlight- Tori was amazed and curious at what Beck had at his disposal.

Story Details

The Blood Lights- is the name of Beck's ocular gift, it was originally the name of Oskar's "Dojutsu". Japanese for eye technique. How Beck achieved his ability is different from Oskar, Oskar obtained his eye technique inside his and Eli's house. He ran outside in the sun (covered in bed covers) and into the woods out of fear for wanting to kill Eli with it.
