One of the best feelings in the world for myself is running through the forest, leaving the world behind. Leaping over fallen trees, bounding through the landscape full force, zig sagging through the trees. All four feet pounding into the soft dirt, oh right, I'm different. I was born as a walker, all that really means is I can change into what my spirit animal is. My mother was a tiger while my father happened to be a lion, one would think I would be some kind of large cat. Hell even the zoos had managed to make a Liger, or Tigon, so what am I? I am a wolf, cliché I know. I take after my great grandmother, she was Alpha of a pack that once roamed Yellowstone. I have very large shoes to fill as you can tell. Walkers are pretty rare, I had never met any that were not blood relatives of me. That's why when I caught scent of the female walker in my forest I knew I had to do something. That is how I found myself watching the wolf in front of me, I was down wind so she couldn't smell me. I waited till she laid out in the sun before jumping out pinning her to the ground snapping my jaws next to hers in a warning. The wolf didn't struggle just laid still under my weight, after a moment she gave a quick lick to the underside of my chin. I backed up sitting down on my haunches, teeth still bared. The she-wolf crawled up to me whining, I flicked my tail and stood up giving a light nip to her muzzle in a sign of acceptance. Looking up at the sky I shake myself out, giving the new wolf a single growl before running back. I have plans in an hour and showing up as a wolf would not tide well.

I knock on Chloe and Aubrey's shared apartment door, stretching my sore muscles one last time before the door opens.
"Hey Beca, Chloe isn't here just yet. Come on in though." Aubrey said letting me in.
"You know where she went?"
"For a run, I was expecting her back by now." I follow Aubrey into the kitchen, I loved their kitchen it was big enough to fit 5 people comfortably and for everyone to be working. Aubrey and I had bonded over the last few months by cooking with one another. I was teaching her main course foods while she in return was attempting to teach me to bake. Needless to say I still made hockey pucks instead of cookies and I did exactly what she said step by step. We concluded I was cursed.
"Well let's just start dinner, when she gets here then we can start the movie. What time is Stacie getting here?" Every week the four of us got together to eat and watch a movie, Chloe and I were trying to open Stacie and Aubrey's eyes that they were both into one another. Again needless to say we were failing.
"Aubrey!" Chloe yells as she opens the door. I turn to look at her just like Aubrey said she was sweaty from a run and covered in dirt.
"What the hell happened to you, Red?" I laugh, wetting a wash cloth for her I turn back to her tossing it her way.
"I ran into a damn raccoon on the running path and tripped as I walked backwards away from it." I raise an eyebrow at that before laughing.
"Raccoon? In the middle of the day?" Aubrey scoffs. "Sure Chloe, go get cleaned up and we will start the movie when you are done." Aubrey drops the conversation, letting Chloe walk into the bathroom.
"Red ever manage to do that before?"
"Never, I guess sometimes I forget she's special." Aubrey smirks and I chuckle.
"Special eh?" I smirk back.
"I can hear you!" Chloe yells from the bathroom, Aubrey rolls her eyes and nudges my hip to keep me focused back on making dinner.

Four hours later I found myself waiting outside my boyfriend Jesse's door. I could hear him stumbling over Benji's magic kit again, unable to suppress the laugh, he caught me trying to hide the laugh.
"Beca! Hey." He pulled me into his arms kissing me. I looped my arms behind his neck smiling into the kiss.
"Hi." He grinned back at me and proceeded to pull me into the room.
"So I have major movie night planed out, starting with The Shining, Jack's version of course, followed by everybody's favorite The Lion King, and ending with Jaws two." He was beaming at me while I was dying on the inside.
"Jess can't we just hang out and not watch a movie? I just saw a movie with Aubrey and Chloe." I groan and he looks like a kicked puppy.
"You watched a movie with Chloe?"
"And Aubrey." I correct him.
"Why would you do that? You hate movies? Why wouldn't you save your one movie day of the month for me?" I stood corrected, the puppy was drop kicked, I sigh.
"Jesse, please? Can't we just jam or something today? You always say you want to take time and play songs with me." I try not to whine. He gives in nodding, leaning over he grabs an acoustic guitar and hands it over to me.
"I really wish you had thought about me and watched a movie with me instead." He says handing over the acoustic before grabbing his own. I shake my head and start strumming on the guitar, letting thoughts of the other walker flood my mind. Who was she? Where did she come from? What was she like? Would I ever see her again? I let my thoughts float back to Aubrey and Chloe from the afternoon, the three of us had been curled up on the floor watching A Bugs Life after we finished our dinner. It was perfect and I wish I was back there instead of here with Jesse glaring at me each time I messed up a song.

A/n: Alright tell me what you guys think, I'm trying to branch out a little bit more. No promises on how well this will turn out, end game will either be Chloe/Beca and Aubrey/Stacie, or Aubrey/Beca/Chloe.
