Chapter 38: The Next Time Around

Lakeside Chateau, 6:30- Morning

[Beck and Tori]

Beck arrived home just in time before the sun came over the horizon, he saw Ellie and Cynthia gathered in the living room sitting on some chairs, it looked like they were talking a lot. He went inside there first to see if Tori was among those two, when he couldn't find her in there he asked the girls where she was, Ellie responded

"She's in her room Beck, where else would she be."

"What? Now you have a problem with me Ellie?" Beck asked her.

"No…why would I have a problem with you?"

Beck walked out of the living room and went upstairs to go find Tori.

Master Bedroom, Upstairs

Up in his and Tori's bedroom Beck found Tori lying down on the bed, He closed and locked the door behind him. He walked in and placed the trash bag full of blood bottles on the floor to talk to Tori. He took a seat on the far side of the bed and gathered his thoughts, he wanted to pick the first right words to get started on what happened earlier.

"Tori…I want to tell you something, I found Daniel tonight…he made himself appear before me when I killed my second person tonight. He told me a lot of stuff about himself, and I don't even know how he knows, but he knew about me and my life in high school. I would have gone head to head with him but Isaac stopped me. He said he was tracking me from the moment I left the house, as Isaac had me restrained me in one of his, I guess 'Techniques' I began to question everything that was happening.

Like…I don't know if my love for you is greater or lesser than his, hearing his journey just to find you made me think. There's no way that I can match that…so what if we find this Sikowitz guy, so what If he's able to remove this horrible curse on us, if anything this whole journey to him will only be because of the knowledge Daniel shared. It would have nothing to do with me, your or these people who became our partners. And one more thing…me and Daniel are gonna end up fighting eventually, I don't know when and I don't know where…but all I know is who ever walks out the winner, deserves you. Look I brought some blood for you and I to drink, I'm gonna be in the bathroom cleaning up."

Beck stood up and turned around to see if Tori had moved, she didn't. he figured that she was still mad at him for what he told her before he left to collect blood, he made his way to the door when he heard movement behind him. Beck felt Tori's hand grab his, as he turned his head to see her; He was thrown back on the bed with such a force that he actually felt pain. Tori had her own air of anger and sadness that was on par with Beck's swirling vortex of anger, he moved back some on the bed as Tori got closer.

Everything went quiet, Tori got close up to his face and whispered something into his ear, what she said had a reverse impact on Beck, instead of a vortex of searing hot air, the room got real cool. The lamp light went dim on it's own, the glowing white eyes of Tori's thermal vision and new bright glowing blue eyes from Beck's met.

Beck's Consciousness

Beck was transported to a world much like a dream, in it he saw a young man who he knew to be Excel, he was in warriors armor and over that he wore a white long trench coat with blue electrical designs on it. His long flowing silver hair tied in low pony tail was utterly breathtaking to Beck, unlike in his other dreams where the dream people seemed to be aware of his presence, nothing like that happened in this one.

Beck saw Excel fighting a beautiful voluptuous dark skin girl with flowing silver hair just like him, but unlike him she had long pointy ears, it then hit Beck…this was the elemental who would become his wife. Excel was fighting his girlfriend in a sparring match, Excel chose to use only his steel claws while his girlfriend used a sword crafted from the trunk of magical trees of their time.

Excel was inhumanly fast, so fast that it almost felt like he was toying with his girlfriend, but his girl had a trick of her own, she planted magical seeds on his sabatons and just waited for them to grow into constricting vines, they grew faster than he was able to move or could detect. As he ran around her, he tripped and fell on his face. His girlfriend took her time and straddled him, with a smug look on her face she flicked Excel's nose and showed off her "false" fangs to him. Excel chuckled and laughed with her, the dream began to end and only whiteness blurred everything.

Were Beck and Tori truly the same as this legendary pair from so many centuries ago, or was there a lesson to be learned from this vision. Beck awoke in the dark and found Tori stroking his hair, his head resting comfortably between her thighs, he looked up and saw the smile on her face. Could Tori truly be this forgivable to him, maybe instead of learning something from a couple many millions of years ago…perhaps he could learn something from the very person bearing a smile for him right now, even though she has done nothing to make him so angry.

"Tori…I'm such a horrible person…I've done nothing but make you feel bad this entire time. I really, really don't deserve you...but there's no way I'm ever letting someone like Daniel have you again, So i Promise never to make you feel like this ever again."

Tori said nothing except cradle his head in her arms, she leaned down and gave his forehead a kiss and his nose a flick from her fingers. Beck smiled and hugged her, even though both of them were really hungry, Beck still undressed Tori and Tori undressed Beck. The small amount of light glowing through the lining of their window that posters and newspapers covered up said much about what exactly was trying to escape from within them, to bathe in the sunlight like tree leaves, rather than grow in darkness like tree roots.

"I Promise…"

(!) "Not Sure when the Next update will be, Damn Simon City ate up a lot of time."
