Chapter 3
A/N: There are no yet defined ships in this story; especially for Tori and Beck who are sex feeders (succubus and incubus) so they will end up with a variety of people throughout the story, however there may be some pairings by the end.
"I can't believe she spilled soda all over me." Tori growled, shoving her front door open roughly. Beck laughed as he stepped in behind her, gently shutting the door and locking it, "she's a psycho! I saved her reputation. It's not like I was trying to get into her pants." Tori threw her bag onto her bed and peeled off her shirt, tossing it into the hamper followed by her jeans.
"Come on Tori, cut her come slack, humans are touchy about being succubus-ed." Beck tosses his bag onto her bed and pulls out her computer chair "besides you totally rock the sticky skin look." He winks at her in an over done manner.
"Ha, ha." Tori utters as she unhooks her bra and toss it into the hamper, followed by her panties cringing at the sticky feeling on her skin, "I'll be out in a few minutes."
"I'll be here." He spins around in the computer chair and turns on her laptop, "password still 'goawaytrina'?"
"Yep." She stepped across the hall and pushed the bathroom door shut behind her. Once she got the water the right temperature she hopped into the shower and rinsed as much of the soda from her face and hair as possible and started to soap up. By the time she was done Trina was home, her ranting muffled by the blow dryer.
When Tori pulled open the door Trina was standing outside, "I know you need extra time in the bathroom to make yourself look attractive, but I have to piss and you have a bedroom with a mirror."
Tori rolled her eyes at her, took off her towel and tossed it over the shower curtain rod before walking out, "whatever Trina."
"Put some clothes on!" she screamed slamming the bathroom door shut.
"Put a better personality on!" Tori grabbed her robe from her door when she stepped into her room, shrugging it on and tying the belt around her waist, "anything interesting going on?"
"Not really." Beck replied, "any word on the Fae that died?"
Tori sighed and slumped down on her bed, grabbing a pillow and wrapping her arms around it, "they still haven't found whoever it was, but both Dark and Light are pointing fingers at each other, as usual, and nobody wants to accept the blame. And they didn't want to tell me, but they've been trying to pin her death on me." she buries her face in her pillow, she could still see her body every time she thought about it, all hallowed out with a smiling dopey grin n her face. She had pleasure in her final moments, apparently. But Tori could still hear the scream.
Beck sighs and shuts her laptop, standing up and crawling onto the bed beside her, he pulled her back against his chest and hugged her, smoothing her hair down until she thought she might have fallen asleep, and then her phone rang. She sat up and grabbed it from her night stand, "hey Cat."
"Tori! It's horrible I was just walking home past that club and there was a woman she was-it's so horrible Tori! She was dead! It looked like a wolf attack!" Tori pushed Beck aside and stood up pressing the phone tighter to her ear.
"Are you at home now? Are you okay?" she asked in a rush.
"Yes…but Tori I'm so scared." Tori promised to be there soon. She shed her robe and pulled on a matching set of undergarments, dragged on some jean shorts and a tank top and grabbed her phone.
"Come on Beck, Cat found a dead body." Tori said before pushing open her window. She stepped onto the roof and hopped from the roof to her tree and climbed down. Beck followed her, hiding in the shadows to slip down to his car before her mother spotted them. When they got to Cat's she was curled up in her large bed surrounded by her stuffed animals while Jade tried to talk to her to calm her down. Jade was shaking like a leaf and looked like she was a few inches from death herself.
"Beck…" Cat murmured. He sat down beside her and put his arm across her shoulder, pulling her closer. Tori walked up to Jade and tugged on the sleeve of her jacket so she didn't touch her skin, she tilted her head toward Jade's room and the girl followed her mutely.
Tori sat on the end of Jade's bed while Jade crawled up next to her pillows, "you need anything?" Tori whispered.
"N-no." Jade bit her lip and pulled her knees up to her chest. Tori lay back across her bed and stared at Jade's ceiling, "it was in the same place as the Fae you found." Jade whispered, "a council member of the dark Fae, they're pointing fingers at Trina now, saying that your family is corrupt."
"They always say my family is corrupt." Tori exhaled until her stomach had caved in on itself and then she hauled in a deep breath, "you okay?"
"I can't quit seeing her. It's one thing to see attacks like that in the movies, but her face was torn to shreds; they only knew who she was because she was tattooed from collarbone to toe. God Tori, who the hell would do that to somebody? Why? It's not right." Jade murmured. Tori sat up and moved to be beside Jade, cautiously putting her arm across Jade's shoulders.
"Not going to do anything, I swear." Tori murmured, pulling Jade closer. Jade leaned into Tori's embrace and curled up, head tucked under Tori's chin and hands curled up between them. She didn't let herself cry but she wanted to. Tori gently rubbed circles on Jade's arm, fighting to keep her touch normal. Soon Jade slipped to sleep and Tori left her in her room, after tucking her in and shutting off the lights.
Cat was asleep in her room and Beck stood outside staring at Tori was dread on his face, "a wolf and then a succubus? This is bad, Tori." Tori nodded her head slowly. Tori knew it was bad, she wasn't an idiot.
"Something is going on and it's time my mom explained." When they reached her house her mother and father were waiting in the living room looking appropriately scolding. Tori crossed her arms over her chest and stared at them defiantly, they stared back with no reaction. They were locked in the staring contest for five minutes before the Birch heaved a great sigh and stood up.
"We don't know what's going on, but you and your friends should never go anywhere alone. You and Beck are strong and you need to protect people like Robbie and Jade before they get killed in the crossfire. And keep an eye on Cat, the last thing I need is a crazy fairy on my hands."
Tori nodded her head and then trailed Beck up the stairs to her room, Tori sat down on her bed. She felt like she'd been physically drained of energy and all she wanted to do was collapse. She looked up at Beck to ask if she could steal some feed from him, but he was already in front of her, leaning down to kiss her. As soon as their lips met Tori's fingers curled in his shirt and she pulled him back onto the bed with her, hastily unbuttoning the shirt and pushing it off his shoulders.
Feeding between an incubus and a succubus was tricky, but could be done, but not just through kissing like a normal feeding, but Tori was already feeling more energized. Beck broke the kiss and yanked her tank top off, kissing her neck as he undid her shorts and pulled them off.
Tori grabbed his face, kissing him hard as she flipped them over, straddling his hips as she worked the buttons of his jeans, she shoved them off with his boxers and sat up so he could lift his hips and get them off while she attacked his neck with kisses and nips, her hands exploring his muscular arms and chest. He reached around her back and popped her bra off, tossing it aside followed by her underwear before he slid his hands in her hair and pulled her mouth back to his in a crushing kiss. Tori grinned and tugged on his hair, kissing him roughly.
Beck reached over to her night stand and grabbed a condom. He broke the kiss to open it and Tori slid it on him, Beck grabbed her hips and guided her down slowly, lifting his hips to meet hers. Tori's eyes lit with fire and then turned blue, Beck's were a matching shade and it filled the air around them as Tori kissed him hungrily, hips moving rhythmically.
Her body was humming with pleasure, his was practically vibrating. He pushed her back onto the bed and kissed her roughly, one hand pinning her to the mattress as he thrust in and out of her until she suddenly sat up and grabbed him, kissing his lips roughly and pulling back, her eyes turning bright blue Beck's eyes screwed shut and his nails dug into her hips as he thrusted one final time, the pair both gasping and cutting off the feeding.
Tori's nails dug into Beck's shoulders as she hung half off her bed, his hands holding her hips to keep her from sliding off. She grinned at him happily as he pulled them both into a sitting position, "second best to getting a full feed. I didn't take too much did I?" Tori asked nervously.
"Not at all." He teased and kissed her cheek. She laughed and slid off of him, standing on wobbly legs, catching her self on the bed, "And I see I'm not losing my touch."
"Damn good feed." Tori agreed, regaining her stability and marching over to her dresser. She found a pair of underwear and tugged Beck's shirt on over her head before crawling back into the bed. Beck rolled the condom off and tossed it into her garbage can, grabbed his boxers and tugged them on before lying down beside her, "thanks, again. It's a shame we haven't can't just share chi between us."
"Anytime. Don't like having sex with me anymore?" Beck joked. It didn't take Tori long to fall asleep after that, but it was anything but peaceful. She tossed and turned, having a strange dream about being chased by a wolf and having her face ripped off. When she woke up to Beck shaking her she lashed out, punching him straight across the jaw.
"Beck! I'm so sorry!" Tori squealed, lurching up to grab his face and inspect the damage. He laughed and pushed her away gently, "God I'm so sorry…"
"It's fine. You were starting to cry so I thought I should wake you up, we have to get to Cat's and pick her up for school and then go get Robbie and Rex." He whispered, "come on, up." He pushed her gently out of her bed, she grabbed clothes and went into the bathroom to shower. Beck had already showered and was dressed in some jeans and a spare shirt that had been left here. He went over to Trina's room and knocked on the door to wake her up.
The Birch wanted all of them to stick together the next few days, and Beck wanted to keep good on his word, "Fuck off!" Trina growled.
"Come on Trina, get up." Beck pushed open the door and flicked on the light, Trina threw a karate trophy at his head, he managed to side step it at the last minute, "get up Trina, your mom wants all of us to travel together."
"Fantastic." Trina groaned, rolling over so her back was facing him. He shook his head and walked away from her door, heading down to the kitchen where David Vega was making breakfast.
"Morning, sir." Beck greeted, pausing in the living room.
"Good morning Beck, are the girls up?"
"Tori is, Trina threw a trophy at my head." Beck shared, David nodded.
"Well feel free to get some water, breakfast should be ready soon." Beck nodded and went to the fridge grabbing himself a glass of water and sitting down in the living room, a few minutes later Tori came down the stairs beaming and skipping the last two. Trina trudged down behind them still in her pajamas.
"We need another bathroom." She announced slumping at the table, "Princess Tori keeps hogging it morning and night."
"Tori what have I said about taking the bathroom."
"Sorry I just really needed a shower." She bit her lip hoping she wouldn't need to explain, "besides I was out by the time Trina actually stumbled out of her bed. She just likes to complain in the morning."
Beck looked over at the pair bickering at the table and shook his head, about to comment, when the Birch stepped out of the back room. She was dressed in a white pair of slacks, a green button up shirt and a white jacket. She only wore clothes like that when there would be a meeting.
"What's going on?" Beck asked.
"There's been a discovery of a fairy child who's in quite a predicament. He lives with his light fae grandmother but his parents are dark fae. We'll be discussing where he gets taught and protected today." She didn't look happy about it.
"Who is he?" Tori asked as Holly sat across from her. Beck got up and joined the table as David set the pan of eggs and plateful of pancakes on the table.
"He's a siren, and that is all I'm saying." Holly snapped, Tori nodded ducked her head, "are you going to pick up the others after this?"
"Yes." Beck answered, "Jade and Cat are getting ready now and Robbie and Rex are eating with their family."
"Good." The rest of the meal was silent, Trina left early to get changed and Tori camped out on the couch while Beck helped wash dishes.
"Tori, are you really wearing that to school?" Holly asked, glancing at her daughters dark attire. Dark wash jeans, a white shirt and a white jean jacket with black heels, her makeup was dark and her hair was straightened around her face giving her a sharp and dangerous look.
"Yep."
"Did you feed last night?" Holly asked, looking toward Beck who ducked his head and gulped nervously.
"Yes." Tori answered shortly.
Holly narrowed her eyes at Beck who rinsed his last plate and moved away from David as fast as he could, though he knew his daughter needed to feed and he was okay when it just meant kissing another Fae or a human he also knew that to feed from another like her meant something else. Beck wanted to run before David could shoot him. Trina came down the stairs shortly after and Beck rushed out the door to his car. Trina and Tori came out shortly after and piled in.
Jade and Cat were the last on their stop, but there wasn't enough room without someone doubling up, which is where the argument started. Trina would not let anyone sit on her lap, Cat bounced to much to be sat on or to sit on somebody, Robbie's, lap. Which left Jade on Robbie's lap, but Jade refused to be that close to Rex.
"For the love of fuck." Tori groaned, she switched spots with Trina and pulled Jade into the car and onto her lap. Jade grunted in response but didn't complain too much. They pulled up beside Andre at the same time so they had to all get out on Robbie's side so Andre could get his stuff out of his backseat.. Once Robbie crawled out Cat followed and Jade slid happily away from Tori and followed them out, stopping short which caused Tori to bump into her, "what?"
"Robbie and Cat didn't move fast enough." Jade mumbled and then pulled herself out, reaching back in to help Tori out of the car. Tori smiled at Jade in thanks and went to the trunk to get the bags out. She handed Jade her bag and then grabbed her own before walking over to Andre.
"Glad to see you two getting along." Andre joked, slinging his bag over his shoulder and tucking his keyboard under his arm. Tori laughed and fell into step with Andre, heading toward the school, "what's with the clown car routine?"
"Jade's car broke down, Robbie's mom is out of town and my mom wants to save gas money." Tori answered, "what's with the keyboard?"
"Wanted some more time to practice than just in class." Andre shrugged, Tori held the keyboard for him while he opened his locker and got out his books and then handed it back once he was done. He started telling her about his grandma's bout of saneness while she got her things out.
"Just out of nowhere she was clearheaded and not screaming about the helicopters on the ceiling? That's so great Andre!" Tori beamed, "maybe she'll start to get better and better now."
"I hope so." Andre said, they talked about classes on the way to Sikowitz, "are you guys doing anything tonight? I was thinking about heading over to Nozu for their singing competition and some sushi."
Tori bit her lip, she had to protect her friends, but she didn't want to keep turning Andre down every time he asked to hang out, he was one of her best human friends, "Sure, how's Nozu tonight sound?" she asked everyone else. Nods and murmurs of agreement circled the small tired group. Tori sat down beside Andre as the rest of the class filed in and Sikowitz entered a few moments later. He looked as tired as the rest of the gang.
Sikowitz was claimed by Beck; much like Jade was claimed by Cat and Robbie by Rex, which meant he knew everything that was going on. Tori couldn't believe she hadn't thought about getting him to school as well.
"Today you can use this period as a study hall, my neighbors kept me up all night." Sikowitz said and then walked over to three chairs and turned them into a bed. Nobody protested and everyone broke off into their little groups. Andre started practicing his keyboard while the rest of the gang circled up and just sat around silently, none sure what to say around Andre, the only one not in the loop.
Tori's mind buzzed with nerves and it took her at least thirty seconds to register that her phone was vibrating. She pulled it out and saw Trina's name, "what's up sis?" she asked.
"Tor, they tried to attack mom! We need to leave, all of us. We've got passes, as soon as the bell rings." Trina said and then hung up. Tori texted everyone else quickly, her heart hammering in her throat. What the fuck was going on? Why were people dying, and her mother? A few minutes before the bell a human girl walked in with passes for all of them, and one for Andre.
"My grandma fell. Neighbor took her to the doctors." Andre explained. Tori nodded her head in sympathy, and quickly rushed out when the bell rang. They were ordered to go to the way station, neutral ground for light and dark Fae. When they got there the place was in chaos, torn down the middle by dark and light elders and other important figures. Tori went straight to the bar where Lenny was sitting polishing the glasses out of nervousness.
"Miss Victoria." He squealed upon seeing her, "your mother has asked you wait out here."
Growling she stormed over to a table and sat down, glaring daggers around the bar, Trina was nervously tapping her heel on the floor and everyone else sat in silence around them. Cat was the only one not on edge, but she never was outwardly, people got nervous when she was jumpy. With good reason. Cat fairy heritage made her a very deadly weapon, as did her mental instability, when she was jumpy she was likely to cause a lot of destruction.
Tori stared around at their small group, aside from Cat the only other one with a supernatural advantage was Trina who had supernatural speed and strength from her wolf-shifting genes. Tori knew she and Beck could hold their own in a fight, Tori was a bit stronger than he was, she assumed from her dads wolf-shifter genes, but she was still basically as fragile as a human. Jade and Robbie were screwed if anything went wrong with them around and Rex may be powerful as a mesmer but stuck as a puppet he was essentially useless.
Tori's stomach was twisting with nerves just sitting there. Where is my mom? Where is my dad? She knew her mom was probably okay if she told Lenny that she wanted them to wait out here, but the Leprechaun seemed terrified when she showed up. Tori found her gaze swinging through the small bar, trying to find anyone she recognized. There were a bunch of Dark Fae elders she knew, and a lot of light Fae adults, but in all they were the only ones still considered kids, the only ones not important. Her gaze swung over to the door when it opened, the Comanche walked in. He was the dark Fae leader, and the vice principal at her high school.
There was a hush to the murmur as he moved through the room, eyeing everyone with contempt and hate, when his eyes landed on Tori she shuddered, his gaze made her skin crawl. The vampire had always made her jumpy, and today when he grinned was no exception. The dark fae bowed their head respectfully, most of the light Fae looked away but Tori held his gaze evenly.
"You would make a good leader, Victoria." He told her appearing in front of her in a blink, "where is your mother?"
"Your guess is as good as mine is, Dickers." She replied coolly. Trina kicked her leg under the table.
"That's a shame leaving her daughter here without protection." Trina growled at him in warning and he chuckled.
"As if you could hurt me here. There's a spell enacted so we can't harm each other." To prove her point she swung her fist at his stomach and it was stopped about four inches from contact. She sat back in her original position and crossed her arms. Since Tori was the one who took an interest in the Fae politics that put her as next in line to compete in the Stag Hunt if her mother dies among other families, that meant that she was also well known amongst the council and her dislike for the Comanche wasn't a secret.
"That's a shame; I'd love to mess up your pretty face." Tori rolled her eyes, "Your mother called me here, so where is she?" he asked, grabbing her jacket and hauling her out of the chair. Tori lifted an eyebrow and ran her hand across his palm a subtle light seeping into his cold dead skin. She at him winningly until he dropped her and retreated backwards with a glare, rubbing his hand and shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Tori smirked triumphantly.
The storeroom door opened beside the bar and Holly came out and gestured for Dickers to follow her. His guard went with and Tori saw her dad shut the door. She scowled and sat back down to wait impatiently, tapping her foot against the floor rapidly. Beck tried to rub her knee to soothe her but it didn't work so he gave up and went to get them drinks. Tori stared at that back door, wishing she could be a fly on the wall in that room. She heaved a sigh and leaned her chair against the wall behind her, staring at the door as if that would magically make it open.
