A Year Ago…
"Beca!" Chloe laughed and pushed her shoulder, "I can't believe we're doing this!" The redhead looked around at the others and chuckled
Aubrey approached the others and frowned. Beca ran her fingers through her hair and smirked over at the blonde.
"What's your deal Captain?" the Brunette chuckled and winked over at Chloe
Aubrey rolled her eyes and crossed her arms defensively, "don't you think it's a little fucked up to be pranking Jesse? It's not his fault he has a crush on Beca. "
Chloe frowned and looked at Aubrey with an uneasy frown. Going over to Beca she cleared her throat as she turned her attention to the Bella's.
"Jesse has been going after my girl, so I think a prank is needed to get back at his 'Treble' making ass. Just looking out for my girl Beca." Chloe stated sharply as Beca blurted out in laughter
"Chlo," Beca started. "I'm nobody's girl and I can handle myself."
"Whatever you say Becs."
Aubrey sighed deeply and began to walk to the stairs, "you guys are jerks!" The others laughed and ran to where the prank was going to take place.
"Jesse!" Aubrey called out as she reached the top of the stairs, sighing she walked to another room and looked around.
Getting into place Chloe laughed, getting under the bed next to Jessica. Ashley got into the closet with a camcorder and Beca stood at the end of the bed and smirked slyly.
"Shhh, he's here!" Chloe giggled and quieted down as the others followed her suit quietly.
Outside the room in the hallway Jesse walked quietly and looked around, holding a candle shakily.
"Beca?" He called out as he opened the door to the room the others were in, "Beca?" He asked quietly and closed the door behind him. "It's Jesse."
Beca smirked with her arms crossed as she looked at him, "Hey Jesse."
Standing in the kitchen Luke looked out the blinds and out the window. Sighing he continued to stare, not fully aware what was lurking outside the cabin.
"Bro's! Did you see that? The Dean said we were the only ones allowed up here this weekend." Luke sighed and looked over at his brother's Capella best friend, who was like a brother to them and shook him, "Benji!"
After no response from Benji he frowned and walked over to his unconscious body slumped against the counter. Luke let out a chuckle as he saw that Benji had consumed an entire bottle of rum that was about fifteen years old.
"You really out did yourself huh Benji!" He laughed and looked across the counter to see a note that was laying upside down, unreadable, he walked over and grabbed it. Turning over to read the note, he then groaned and placed it back on the counter.
"Benji, what has Jesse got himself into now?" He sighed and glanced at the note again. It read: 'Jesse, you look so hot in that shirt…but I bet you look even better out of it. Come to the guest room at 2:00 AM ;) Beca xxx'
Back in the bedroom Jesse smiled shyly and shifted his weight on each leg awkwardly as he spoke up, looking at Beca.
"I got your note." He said quietly
Beca grinned slyly, "I'm glad you made it."
Jesse looked down at his flannel and fumbled with the top button nervously, this time Beca spoke up.
"Maybe we should start with a little, you know, making out? Then we'll see where it goes from there?" Beca looked at Jesse with a suggestive smile and shrugged
Jesse then nodded and went to unbutton his flannel slowly. Beca let out a quiet 'oh hell yeah' as he unbuttoned the first of many buttons on his shirt.
Jessica laughed from under the bed and spoke aloud, "oh my god. I can't believe he's taking his shirt off!" Chloe let out a laugh in reply to Jessica's statement.
Jesse froze up and looked under the bed, "what?! Oh my god!" As Jesse exclaimed Ashley came out of the closet with the camcorder and smirked. "Ashley? What are you doing here?!"
As everything was falling apart Aubrey opened the door and Beca looked down, "Jesse. I'm sorry this is all outta hand but.." Aubrey interrupted her midsentence.
"Hey, Jess. Don't freak out it's just-" Aubrey got cut off by Jesse
"Beca?!" Jesse cried out before dashing out of the room
Aubrey growled and looked at the others, "prank."
"Damn…" Beca looked down embarrassed that the prank didn't go well, when suddenly she got a smack to the side of the head by Aubrey.
"You guys are jerks you know that?!" the blonde growled and ran after Jesse, "Jesse!"
Luke looked out the blinds to see someone out there and he ran out to see the others yelling out into the winter storm. "Guys there's someone outside!" Luke heard them yelling and he questioned aloud, "what the hell?"
Aubrey yelled out into the storm, "Jesse!" As she did, Luke passed by her roughly
"What the hell is going on? Where is my brother going?" He frowned as he looked at them questionably
"He's fine." Jessica spoke up and rolled her eyes, "he just can't take a joke."
"It was just a joke Jesse!" Chloe called out into the storm as she crossed her arms
Luke's thick accent came out in his anger, "what did you guys do to my brother?!"
Beca looked around nervously, "we were just messing around Luke. It wasn't anything serious."
"You Jerks!" Luke shouted at them before running out into the storm after his brother, "Jesse! JESSE!"
"Do we go after them?" Beca asked quietly and Aubrey quickly answered in a snappy tone.
"You know, I think that you are the last person Jesse wants to see right now Beca." Aubrey frowned and looked into the storm hopping her best friends would be okay.
Luke ran through the path in the forest looking frantically for his brother, tripping over rocks and stumps, swearing as his did. He jumped over a log and he continued to run quickly as he feared that Jesse could be in danger. He stopped to jump down to a hopefully, quicker path and continued to run as he felt something was very close behind him. Following Jesse's footprints he quickened his pace.
Breathing quick and hard he heard a snap but followed his brothers footprints, afraid that the snap was something dangerous to himself and his brother. As he followed the footprints he came face to face with an elk and froze up before running past the creature to hopefully find his brother quickly, not liking the noises he felt were following him.
"Damn it Jesse! Where are you?" He frowned and continued to search for his brother, jumping down another small cliff he took out his phone and put on his flashlight, continuing his frantic search. "Jesse?"
Looking around with his flashlight he was taken back when an elk jumped across the path right in front of him, shaking it off he continued to walk quickly. Luke looked around scared, and called out to his brother when he came across a totem. Turning it around he found a hole he could peer into, not knowing that it was a death totem, predicting his and his brothers own death. Afraid he placed it down quickly and looked into the woods nervously.
"Jesse!" Luke called out once again, looking above the path he hears the ignition of flame and a bright flare for a brief moment, looking back to the trail he continues to walk quickly. "Jesse!"
Luke continued his way down the path, unsure what the totem meant, unsure on how he saw his fate so clearly. He continued to think about it as he walked quickly down the path as he followed Jesse's footprints. Pushing a tree branch away he calls his brother's name once more when he finally sees him.
"Hello?!" Jesse calls out, only to be hugged and given his brother's jacket
"Jesse! You must be freezing! Take my coat Bro." Luke insisted as he helped him stand
Jesse shook his head as tears streamed down his face, "I'm such an idiot! I'm so dumb Luke…"
Not knowing that there was a creature behind them they hear a screech and quick footsteps close behind
"Jesse?"
"Luke?"
Both brothers look between each other and begin to run down the trail from whatever was chasing them. Screaming the two ran as quick as they could away from the creature that was chasing after them. Jesse fell on the bridge, Luke then has to turn around to help regain his brother's stance. Once Jesse was up they ran like hell. Luke's phone slipped from his pocket and had fallen under the boards of the bridge. Afraid that whatever was behind them was going to surely them, they were caught at a dead end and a long drop down behind them. A dark mysterious figure who bared fire approached the brothers slowly. Protectively, Luke put his arms out in defense, pushing his brother back, grabbing his hand and intertwining their fingers tightly.
"No," Luke cried out as the figure got closer and closer to the edge. "Shit! Get back!" He shouted at the figure again as Jesse slipped causing both to slip off the cliff. Luke was able to grab a loose branch and held on for his life. As he held onto his brother he had to hold onto the one thing keeping them alive, the loose branch began to give out from their weight.. "Hold on!" He cried to his brother as the dark figures hand reached for his own.
In that moment Luke let go, afraid the figure was going to harm him and his brother. As they fell his spine hit directly on a rock, killing him instantly. Jesse supposedly dead as well. The two were never found, their friends were now scared that they had died because of their cruel joke, and Benji, their brother was now brotherless.
