Chloe's POV

Day 001

I found myself in a dark room as my head was in pain from crying that my supposed best friend betrayed me. Were we even friends? Or was I just her mission? Was it all some sort of twisted game for her? I trusted Beca with my secrets, my love (whether she was aware of it or not), my life, and yet here I was in some sort of basement. The hit to my head was nothing compared to the emotional pain I felt.

There wasn't much to indicate where I could possibly be; the walls were plain, except for one that was a brighter shade of gray than the others. The only thing in the room was a bed, which I was laying in. In the corner of the room on the ceiling was a camera that can move, meaning that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find a blind spot. Not that I had anything on me that I could use to escape if there was one.

I wasn't sure why I was here. Hydra wasn't taking in prisoners as far as I knew. Or was this part of Beca's game?

Part of me was still in denial at the fact that Beca was apart of Hydra, I mean, how could she be? Our families had been apart of SHIELD for generations, Hydra was the exact opposite of SHIELD! Every SHIELD agent learned that Hydra was the enemy, it is basically drilled into our heads at the Academy. So how is it that Hydra still exists? And was hidden within SHIELD... Ugh!

I hadn't realized that I'd fallen asleep til I jumped at the sound of a tray scraping the floor. I looked over to see food and water, but I didn't bother moving towards it. After a few minutes of just staring at the food, the wall it was next to started to become more transparent until it was completely see through, and awaiting me on the other side was Beca Mitchell. There were so many emotions I felt once our eyes met: anger, betrayal, sadness, confusion, and worst of all humiliation.

"Well, aren't you gonna eat?" she asked as plain as day, as if the current circumstance that we were in was completely irrelevant. Angry, I charged at her, only to end up running into the invisible wall that separated us.

"You fucking coward!" I yelled as the tears started flowing again. "You can't even face me without a shield to protect yourself with, or are you that afraid that I'm gonna kill you once I get out of here?!"

"Oh please, we both know that in a fight between the two of us, I could easily kill you without hesitation." she scoffed. "Especially since there's still a sliver of you that believes that I'm still on your side, that we're still BFF's, that I actually still care about you, and that's your greatest weakness, Red." she winked at me before looking at the food. "Now I'd eat up if I were you, you're gonna be in for one hell of a session later." she smirked.

"Almost sounds as if you care." I mumbled barely loud enough for her to hear it. She rolled her eyes and sighed.

"You're lucky I convinced them to let me feed you. If it were up to them, you wouldn't get food until next week. It's a bit of a thank you for being so entertaining over the years." she stated. I walked over to the tray of food, picked it up, and threw it to the wall.

"I don't care much for your twisted hospitality. I'd sooner starve myself to death than let you bait me." I stated proudly as I crossed my arms.

"You're gonna regret that, Chlo." my heart broke at the sound of her using my nickname so coldly.

"I hate you, Beca..." I whispered to myself. She got up from her chair and walked up to the barrier.

"What did you say?" she demanded. I was seething.

"I hate you Beca Mitchell!" I yelled at her. There was a look in her eyes that was a mix of anger and sadness. She turned away, grabbed a tablet, pressed a few buttons which disabled the wall, and glared at me.

"You know, the wall was for your own benefit. It prevented me from going too far, but screw it." she said as she tackled me to the ground. Suddenly a door opened revealing Jesse and Benji.

"Beca stop!" Jesse barked as he pulled her off of me. Before I could get up, Benji injected something into my arm, and I started falling asleep.

Day 017

Battered. Bloodied. Bruised. Those words basically summed up my appearance. I hadn't seen Beca since the incident on the first day, and for some twisted reason, I was missing her. Usually the person who came to talk to me, trying to convince me to make things easier on myself by telling them of whatever intelligence I knew or to join Hydra, was Jesse. Apparently he was apart of it too, which was more surprising than Beca being a Hydra agent. Usually the one who was beating me to see if it would break me was Bumper. He enjoys it so much, Jesse or Benji have to monitor him so he doesn't go too far.

At the moment, Bumper was beating me, trying to get me to cry out for his out twisted pleasure. Whenever I'd look at Jesse or Benji, they'd look away as if it was making them uncomfortable.

"I'm amazed your little girlfriend managed to pull off betraying you. I actually thought for a split second that she was gonna shoot me, as if I'd let her though." Bumper sneered.

"Beca wasn't my girlfriend..." I mumbled. He smirked.

"Could've had me fooled." he raised his fist when Jesse cut him off.

"That's enough, Allen." Jesse said sternly. Bumper shrugged them left.

"You don't seem like a Hydra agent, Jess." I commented. He gave me a little smile.

"Not everyone who's here wants to be here." he stated.

"What about Becs?" I whispered. He looked at me then looked at his hands.

"We all have our reasons whether they're good or bad." he stated with a stoic expression. I nodded.

"Where is she?" he looked me in the eyes and sighed.

"You miss her don't you?" he asked softly.

"Of course I do." I answered honestly.

"She's been on a mission for a while now," he started gathering his things and started heading out the door. "besides," I looked up at him. "she's still upset about what you said." Before I could ask him, he pushed the button on the tablet that activated the wall, and left me alone with my thoughts.

Day 039

"What's your reason for being apart of Hydra?" I asked Jesse. Despite us supposedly being enemies, we did get along pretty well.

"I joined to help a friend." he stated. I looked intently at him wondering who this friend was and if any person would be worth joining this organization of psychopaths.

"Why?" he smiled.

"Well, it was to help one friend, but I was grateful that it gave me the chance to help another friend who was in the wrong place at the wrong time." he chuckled as he shook his head. "He looked so lost, it was adorable, but very dangerous of me to have saved him, but people do crazy things for the people they love right?"

"Benji?" I whispered.

"Yea..." he answered quietly even though there was no one around to hear us. Sure there was the camera, but it had no audio from what Jesse had told me.

"Why are you being so nice?" I asked. He smiled at me.

"Mainly 'cause I have no reason not to be." he leaned closer to me. "Plus, I'm under orders to." I frowned.

"Hydra's orders?" I hissed. He shook his head.

"Hydra wouldn't care about whether or not I was being nice to you. Actually, they'd want me to be coldhearted to you. Besides, I'm not entirely loyal to them. I'm loyal to someone else." he shrugged.

"Who?" He opened his mouth to answer, but was cut off by the door being kicked open.

"Beca!" he gasped as the brunette walked down the stairs and stopped as soon as she was next to him. She glared at him while he was starting to panic.

"What are you doing, Swanson?" she barked at him.

"I, uh, well, um..." he stammered out before she grabbed him by the collar and threw him across the room.

"Benji has been looking for you for the past hour." she said softly before activating the wall. I sat on my bed thinking about what Jesse had said. Who was he willing to risk his neck for besides Benji? I couldn't really say since I had no idea who else was in Hydra. After what felt like 10 minutes, the wall disappeared to reveal Jesse to be long gone and Beca sitting patiently.

"Hello Chloe." She said in a pained voice. I furrowed my brows and frowned. I notice the cuts and bruises that littered her face and neck.

"Are you hurt Beca?" I asked, concern lacing my voice. She opened her mouth to say something when a figure stepped out of the shadows.

"Well look at that Becs, she still cares." the voice said before laughing. The figure finally stepped into the light to reveal Beca's older sister, Rachel. The older Mitchell shared the same physical features as Beca, same chocolate brown hair and steel blue eyes, but she always seemed much more untrustworthy.

"Shut it." Beca barked at her.

"I'm just saying, you must've really had her whipped for her to still care." Rachel stated as she walked over to Beca, grabbing her by the neck, and bashed her head into the table. I yelped at the sudden action and started banging on the invisible wall.

"No! Stop it! You're hurting her." I kept yelling as the tears started to flow down my cheeks. Rachel kept on bashing Beca's head in until she was unconscious. I froze once Beca fell to the floor.

"Relax, she's been through much worse than that. So, don't you worry, you're little girlfriend will be just fine." She turned to the door and left.

"Beca! Please Becs, wake up!" I cried out. A few moments later, a few people came, picked her up and left. I slid to the floor shaking as the whole episode kept playing in my head.

Please Beca, be alive and safe.

Day 081

It had been weeks since I'd seen either Mitchell. Jesse had told me that Rachel was being punished by their parents for even attacking Beca while Beca was in the hospital in critical condition. I was worried sick. Any anger I felt towards Beca immediately flew out the window and it was replaced by guilt. Jesse had said that everyone had their reason for being apart of Hydra, and Beca's was her family. She was forced into joining. I wasn't entirely sure if that was the truth since when I asked Jesse, he refuses to answer, and I was pretty sure that I was still in denial.

Today things were different. Jesse had mentioned that the superiors were working with something called an Obelisk, it had the power to turn people to stone.

"You need to keep stalling." he told me. I looked at him confused.

"You know I wouldn't give up any and all information I have." I stated.

"I know, but from what I've heard, they're getting a little tired of housing you. And they have two options for you since it's quite evident that you're not joining Hydra so willingly."

"What are my options?" I asked. He leaned in.

"The first is that they test the Obelisk on you."

"But that will kill me!" I exclaimed.

"Well, maybe..." he sighed. "Apparently there have been some cases where people have survived and are able to hold the Obelisk without getting hurt. And they are very willing to test it out on you to see if you're... special. As Whitehall said 'Discovery requires experimentation.'" You stare at him shocked.

"And the other option." he started to look uneasy.

"They make you comply." he whispered looking at everywhere but at me.

"What does that even mean?" I asked.

"I'm not entirely sure of the process, but I have a feeling it has something to do with brainwashing." he started fiddling with his fingers. I was about to ask him more when the door opened to reveal Beca with a distant look in her eyes.

"Jesse..." she muttered. He gathered his things.

"I guess my time is up. Maybe I'll see you around." he whispered and I looked at him confused.

"Aren't you coming back tomorrow?"

"No, I was merely a replacement for Beca, but now she's stable enough to talk to you, so I won't be coming back unless she's not available." he sighed.

"Well, it was nice hanging with you." I smiled at him. He smiled back and left. Once the door closed, Beca walked over to the table and sat down. Her injuries were fading but there were new ones.

"So how are you feeling?" I asked cautiously. She looked at me with a small smile on her lips.

"I've been through worse, so this is nothing." she stated. I shook my head.

"Why didn't you ever tell me about Rachel abusing you? I mean, didn't your parents ever notice?" I snapped at her.

"They did it too..." she whispered.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I couldn't." And for the first time since we had known each other, I had never seen the great, sarcastic, cocky Beca Mitchell look so... so...

Broken...
