"Okay, I'm calling it." Aubrey finally says after five hours of grueling rehearsal time. A question plaguing Beca's mind however, she had seen the video of Aubrey vomiting, she had done her research on the Barden Bellas and found it amongst her research.
"Hey, uh Aubrey did we just learn the same choreography from that video?" She points out observitively and is silenced when Aubrey slams her hand down on the piano.
"Okay, don't forget to pick up your performance schedules. We have a gig next week, that's right, next week." Aubrey answers and Beca smirks because she knew that the answer to her question was yes.
"It's Sigma Beta Theta's annual fall mixer." Chloe adds with a nod, stealing a glance from Beca whose head turns away when their eyes meet.
"Hands in Bellas." Aubrey commands and everyone looks around at each other.
"Hands in Aca-bitches!" Aubrey demands and the girls all hastily put their hands in.
"Sing Ah on…" Aubrey speaks but is interrupted by Fat Amy singing well, 'ah'.
"No, no, no, it's actually on three." Aubrey finishes and Fat Amy's face turns a small shade of red.
"One, Two." Aubrey counts and on three half the girls raise their hands singing 'ah' while the other half do it on four.
"Okay, we will work on that first thing next time." Aubrey smiles awkwardly, rubbing her temples. All the girls turn and leave, including Beca until a voice calls her back.
"Beca, a word." Aubrey call outs and Beca turns around praying this was going to be short so you could go confront Jesse about being in her room.
"Sup." She says quietly, walking back to Aubrey. Chloe stands by at the door waiting for Aubrey and watching the interaction with Beca.
"You know you'll have to take those ear monstrosities out for the fall mixer?" Aubrey asks and Beca smiles sarcastically.
"You really don't like me, do you? I mean I've caused you enough trouble for the Bellas already right? Only reason I'm here is because of Chloe I'm guessing." Beca replies, a small snark of attitude obvious in her voice. She knew she was tugging on the tail of a wild tiger but she just loved playing with the tail as both Beca Mitchell and Azrael.
"I don't like your attitude." Aubrey replies, trying to remain calm and blink away the image of strangling the girl in front of her.
"You don't even know me." Beca replies straight away and Aubrey smiles now, knowing she had leverage on the smaller brunette, she knew a lot more than Beca thought she did.
"I know you have a toner for Chloe." Aubrey snarks and Beca almost bursts out laughing at the stupidity that Aubrey was throwing out.
"A what?" She laughs.
"A toner, a musical boner. It's distracting." Aubrey admits. Beca stops laughing and goes into full serious mode to match her new nemesis in front of her.
"Yeah, that's not a thing and I'm not in love with Chloe. We are just friends and will stay that way. Besides you're not the boss of me." Beca replies before walking away. Aubrey left stunned at the comment about her best friend. She watches as the hobbit walks away.
"I can see your toner through those jeans!" Aubrey yells out and Beca turns around, backing out of the room at the same time.
"That's my dick!" She yells back before leaving.
"Hey!" Beca turns around at the familiar voice behind her. Chloe runs up and matches step with Beca as they walk back to Beca's dorm.
"So you love me huh?" Chloe jokes and Beca's face remains serious. Her eyes darting around the courtyards, searching for Jesse and his friends. She wanted to find out why they were in her room.
"Ah no, sorry to disappoint but I told you, I don't do relationships. You're the first friend I've had in a long time." Beca replies as the girls continue walking into Baker Hall.
"What happened to your last friend?" Chloe asks out of curiosity and Beca stops walking, turning to look at the redhead. Chloe halts in place as Beca gazes at her.
"She died." Beca says in her usual unemotional tone before she walks off, leaving Chloe to ponder what had just happened.
Beca walks into her room to meet a few guests that she wasn't expecting.
"What's up Mitchell? Nice room." Jesse grins and Beca puts her bag down in place, standing with her arms crossed over her chest.
"So trespassing in people's rooms is your thing now Jesse? Seriously just get out. All of you." Beca retorts before opening the door and holding her hand up to usher the guys in her room out.
"Nope, just yours and I believe if my memory serves me right, I owe you a little something for the other night. Two actually, because you took Aubrey away when we were starting to have some fun then you gave me this." Jesse replies angrily, pointing to his black eye. He turns to the other three guys in the room.
"Get her." He says and Beca steps her right foot back into a ready position as the guys walk toward her.
"You don't want to do this otherwise I promise you, you'll end up with worse injuries then Jesse and Jesse, I'll bury you." Beca warns and the guys hesitate before walking toward her again. Beca drops her head, knowing that probably wouldn't have worked anyway.
Tom lunges at Beca. She fights him off before kicking them in the head. She turns around and takes a punch to the face, her lip split open. Bumper goes to punch her but she blocks his attack. Donald grabs Beca from behind and pulls her in for a bear hug. Her arms couldn't move. She struggles against the grip. Bumper goes to punch Beca again but she jumps up and with both feet kicks him in the chest sending him flying backward. She lands and pulls her body weight forward, flipping Donald over her head and ground. She turns to Jesse whom is starting to approach but Tom was blocking her way. She saw a knife glisten in his hand. He lunges and Beca dodges all the slashes he makes with the knife. Tom kicks Beca and she lands on her back on the floor. She saw the glow of the knife as it is thrust down toward her leg. Beca reacts and catches Tom's wrists to stop the knife plunging her leg. She uses his body weight against him as she kicks her feet up into his stomach and flips him over the top of her. She moves over and punches Tom in the jaw, knocking him out. Beca gets up and turns to Jesse who glances at all of his friends on the ground.
"Your choice right now Jesse. You can join them or walk away." Beca stands, waiting for him to make a move. Jesse looks down at his friends as they start to stand up, holding the parts of their bodies that Beca had injured. Tom, his nose. Bumper, the back of his head. Donald still lying on the ground, winded.
"This isn't the end Mitchell." Jesse says as he walks past Beca, helping his friends stand up.
"Let's go guys." He adds as they leave. Beca looks at the blood from Tom's broken nose on the ground then to her shaking hands.
"Azrael." Beca turns around to find someone wearing all black and a mask standing behind her. It was a League of Angels assassin, or used to be as Beca knew the voice all too well.
"Amitiel. Long time no see." Beca says to the other girl in the room. Amitiel moves over to Beca's desk chair and takes a seat, putting her feet up on the desk and taking off her mask. Beca remembers the jade green eyes and raven black hair on the fair skinned 25 year old.
"I go by Amy in the real world now and you're Beca right?" Amitiel asks. Beca nods her head as she tries to push back all the memories of her and Amitiel when they were younger.
"Michael has put out an order on you. Why are you here?" Beca asks, crossing her arms over her chest. Amitiel points to her own lips.
"You got a little something there. The great Azrael can be hit I see. And I'm here because I wanted to visit you. I know Michael has the kill order out on me but I still wanted to see you." Amitiel stands up from the bed and makes her way toward Beca whom was touching her lips and bringing it back to reveal blood. Her lip was cut open. She looks up when Amitiel is right in front of her.
"I missed you." Amitiel says. Beca takes a step back when Amitiel tries to reach out a hand.
"You tried to kill me." Beca states firmly, crossing her arms back over her chest again. Amitiel steps forward again and their eyes meet.
"I thought Michael had gotten to you. Gotten his hooks in you. But you're out now so I can do something I've been wanting to do since I first met you." Amitiel says before reaching forward and taking Beca's cheeks in her hands and planting a kiss on her lips. Beca steps back almost immediately throwing her hands up.
"What the hell was that? I don't do relationships, or emotions. You know that. I shut them off eleven years ago. They haven't come back on since." Beca replies and Amitiel steps back. A little disheartened by Beca's refusal.
"He still has his hooks in you. Are you on task now? Who is the target?" Amitiel shoots out question after question. Beca notices the knife on the ground that Tom had not but ten minutes before.
"I'm giving you a chance right now Amitiel. Turn yourself in now or I'll fulfill Michael's order." Beca warns and Amitiel takes a step back, slightly shocked at the choice Beca has put forward to her.
"Come on Az, you know we have something special. Come with me, turn your back on the League. They aren't your family, I was the closest thing to family for you in that hellhole." Amitiel responds. Beca's gaze meets Amitiel's and she flicks her switch off before running toward the knife on the ground, jumping and rolling to grab it, avoiding the throwing knife that Amitiel throws at her and throws the knife in Amitiel's direction only to miss as Amitiel escapes out the window.
"Fuck." Beca whispers to herself as she stares at the open window and knife sticking out of the window framework. She moves up and rips the knife out the woodwork and shuts her window, locking it also. She shuts her door and locks it before pulling out her phone.
"Michael, we have a problem. Amitiel was here." Beca says into the phone.
Once upon a time a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me
And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Chloe's singing is interrupted by a knock on her door.
"Come in." Chloe yells out and turns to the door to find her blonde best friend was the one on the other side.
"You really do love Taylor Swift don't you?" Aubrey teases as she steps into the room. Chloe nods her head as she turns the music down.
"What's up Bree?" Chloe asks as both girls sit on the bed. Aubrey takes a deep breath.
"I just want to tell you to be careful with Beca. I don't like her and she told me earlier that you guys are friends and that is all you'll be." Aubrey says and Chloe takes in a deep breath herself. Aubrey takes one of Chloe's hands in her own to show support.
"We had a moment the other night in her room. Before I brought her to initiation. She was showing me something awesome and she was working out and I got all hot and bothered. I was so close to kissing her Bree but she pulled away. That moment though, we just blended for a second, it is unexplainable but I know she feels something for me too, even if it is small. Problem is, she doesn't do relationships or any emotions for that matter. She has her moments then she'll act almost robotic like when she brought you and Stacie home, she was so nice then all of a sudden, it's like a door shut in her mind and she went robotic again." Chloe explains and the only words that Aubrey caught were about Beca bringing her and Stacie home.
"Beca brought Stacie and I here after the party? I thought it was Jesse, I remember he and I were kissing then black." Aubrey tries to remember what else happened that night but can't.
"Yeah, Jesse was going to try have sex with you while you were pretty much passed out and Beca came and got you away from him. I do have a question though, did Jesse have a black eye when you were lip locked with him?" Chloe asks and Aubrey shakes her head as a response.
"No, he didn't." She adds and Chloe inhales sharply.
"So it was Beca, she lied to me." Chloe concludes and the two girls sit and wonder why the short brunette had lied to the both of them.
So don't hate me! It will all make sense when some flashbacks come in and with the future, especially the Amitiel and Beca thing. Don't panic.
Next chapter will be a major Bechloe moment, not a kiss or anything but it'll still be major.
Thanks for being so supportive again and be sure to review.
