Tell me your thoughts about it :)
It's been two stressful and tiring weeks for Beca, between training in the middle of the night, going to class and the Bellas practices, and that's only from Monday to Friday; Saturday and Sunday were the worst. Megan made her fight using the skills she learned in the week, which meant her body covered in bruises and being so tired that she couldn't even lift a finger. Sure, she learned a lot of things and she even use her healing without passing out, something that happened a lot when she used it the first few times, but still, she can't remember how it is to sleep for six hours straight. The brunette hadn't even the time to talk about the kiss with Chloe nor to see her more than five minutes between classes or between the little breaks in the training. Talking between the Bellas practices was impossible, Aubrey was always talking to the redhead about the choreo, because they need to be perfect at the finals next week. Beca can't quite understand how they made it to the finals, but there they are, following Aubrey's orders.
It was a nightmare.
When the alarm goes off Beca curses and blindly reaches to turn it off. She opens her eyes and rolls into her back, groaning at the pain.
"Jesus…"
The brunette steps out of the bed. She frowns as she hears a muffled voice coming from the bathroom.
She walks towards the closed door and listens. It's Stacie.
"Come on Meg, as I already told you the other day, she's fine, nothing weird happened. Maybe it was just a moment, I don't think the prophecy-" Stacie is interrupted, probably by Megan, but as the tall brunette starts to speak again Beca is already out of the room.
She's pissed, Stacie and Megan are always hiding something from her and she can't take it anymore. Beca's lost in her thoughts when she bounces into someone.
"Uh sorry" the brunette looks up. A tall blonde guy is smiling at her.
"Oh don't worry. You're Beca right?" He asks with a British accent.
Beca frowns "How do you know that?"
He laughs "We're in the same philosophy class"
There is something in the way he laughs that makes her believe that he's lying. She reads he's mind but he's only thinking about how short she is.
Asshole.
Beca clears her throat "Right…and you are?"
He grins and extends his hand "I'm Luke"
Beca shakes his hand, she still has a strange feeling about him "I'm gonna go-"
"Can I invite you the breakfast?" He's still gripping at her hand.
"I'm not hungry thanks. Now can I have my hand back?" She eyes the guy who takes back his hand and takes a step forward.
"Really? You seem like you'd need a coffee, I know a place let's g-"
"Beca!"
Stacie is running towards them and the small brunette uses the distraction to take a few steps away from Luke.
As the tall brunette reaches them her eyes widen, she recognizes the guy. She's sure he doesn't know her but it's only a matter of time before he senses her.
She needs to take Beca away.
"Here you are, let's go" Without waiting a response she takes Beca's arm and drags her away, not before smiling at Luke who seems annoyed. Stacie is sure she just ruined his stupid plan.
"I was talking to her!"
Stacie ignores him and keeps walking with Beca "Well you're not anymore, bye!"
As they turn the corner Stacie whispers "Teleport us at Aubrey and Chloe's now"
Even if Beca is still mad at her she recognizes the fear in Stacie words so she does as she's told.
"Who the hell was him?"
Beca said as they're pop in the middle of the girls' room. Beca's words are followed by a scream.
"What the hell?!" Aubrey jumps then sighs as she sees Stacie "Are you insane?".
Chloe stirs confused "What's going on? Why are you in full Aubrey mode this early?" she mumbles as she opens her eyes which widen as they land on Beca.
"Oh hi!" Chloe smiles and jumps out of the bed, running towards the small brunette to hug her.
As Chloe's arms wrap Beca's waist the brunette realizes how much she missed the redhead.
"Hey you" She hugs her back sighing.
"Not that I'm complaining but why are you here this early?" Chloe says as she pulls back because she couldn't restrain herself anymore from kissing the brunette and that can't happen now because she's sure she wouldn't keep it pg-13.
"Yeah, Stacie, why are we here?" Beca asks raising her eyebrows.
"That Luke you were talking to, is the protector of one of the Destructors"
"They have them too? When I was supposed to know that?! I mean everyone in this college could be a threat and I don't know that? This sounds ok to you, to your precious Council?!"
Beca shakes her head taking a deep breath.
"I'm really tired of getting to know those things by accident. Why can't you tell me all at once?"
Stacie sighs, she can't wait till Beca's birthday, she's sick of having this conversation with the brunette.
"Bec, how many times do I have to tell you? You need to wait five more days"
"Your birthday is in five days?!" Chloe's frown bends to create a surprised look.
She gains a glare from everyone and her frown is back.
"Right, not relevant now"
Beca scoffs "Of course, in the meanwhile keep talking about me by my back"
"What are you talking about?" Stacie asks, she's been so stupid talking to Megan in their room, now it makes sense why Beca left the room.
The small brunette looks incredulous at Stacie "Wow…I-I'm done with your lies" after that Beca storms out ignoring the calls.
She teleports in her room to take her phone she left charging before and then she teleports herself in a place she discovered at the beginning of the year.
The smell of the trees hits immediately her nose. She sighs and lays down closing her eyes. The sun is rising, there is a light breeze that moves the grass and the leaves of the trees making a sound that calms the small brunette.
She only wants to know why she has these powers and why she's supposed to be the one who'll defeat the Destructors. Is really hard to understand?
She doesn't know how long she stays there but her concentration is interrupted by a cat who jumps right in her stomach scaring the shit out of her.
"Jerk"
The black cat is looking at her with hate.
"What? You scared me, come here little one" she raises her left hand but the cat just stares at it. Beca rolls her eyes then an idea crosses her mind. She tries to control the cat which paw after paw, it reaches Beca's hand. She pets it and then she tries to push a little her abilities and makes the cat walk with its hind feet. Beca chuckles at the sight. She stops when the cat is near her and she pets him again gaining purrs from it. Her mind goes back at what Megan did two weeks ago with that rock, she's tried several times without succeeding, her eyes land in a small rock, she lifts it and she tries change its shape.
Beca's staring at the small rock for five minutes now, the cat is sleeping in her lap and she finds really hard to not jump by the excitement when the rock shifts into a cat.
"Finally!" she stands up moving carefully the cat who again glares at her.
"Sorry!" she walks away, she has to tell Chloe what she did.
She's about to teleport herself when she notices, to her surprise, that the cat is following her. She stops and smiles at the little cat "Miss me already? Come on" she lifts it gaining a cute mew.
She reaches Chloe's room and knocks. The door is immediately opened.
"Beca! You scared us!" the redhead lunches herself in an attempt of a hug but she's stopped by the sight of a little black cat into the brunette's arms.
"Is that?"
Beca smiles "Yep"
Chloe squeals and reaches to pet the cat. "And guess what? I did it" Beca hands the rock shaped into a cat to the redhead who looks at it before taking it with her free hand. Her eyes widen when she connects the meaning of what's on her hand.
"You did it!" Chloe kisses the brunette who can't stop smiling. Chloe pull back as she hears foot steps.
Stacie and Aubrey walks in looking from Beca to the cat at whom the tall brunette scoffs "I bet you like where you're know, right Alex?"
At Stacie's words the cat changes into a blonde girl. A very naked blonde girl. Chloe takes back her hand which fortunately was on the girl's hair. The same can't be said about Beca's right hand which is right below the girl's ass.
Chloe lifts an eyebrow, Beca seems to take a lot of time to register what is happening. Her eyes are scanning the girl's body, apparently without actually seeing until they meet with two grey eyes.
"Hey there! Not that I'm complaining but can you put me down?" The girl says with a thick British accent. Beca blushes and literary drops the girl who groans in pain "I thought it wasn't necessary say gently, but apparently I was wrong" the girl mumbles.
"What are you doing here Alex?" Stacie asks giving a blanket to the girl.
"Hi Stacie! Oh well…unfortunately I'm not here with good news. But we'll discuss that after I have more clothes on"
Not wanting to wait more Beca snaps her fingers and clothes appear on the girl who turns to the small brunette grinning "Oh you're really good"
Beca clears her throat scratching the back of her neck "I added the snap only for scene"
"That was cool" The girl grins and looks around but is stopped by Stacie's voice.
"So?"
"Oh right! Hi, I'm Alex, don't worry I know who you are" She says looking at Aubrey and Chloe.
"We need to speed up everything Stacie. I need to give Beca the letter, if I have your consent. Megan gave me this for you"
Alex gives a letter to the tall brunette who quickly opens it and read it.
Beca, Chloe and Aubrey stay patiently in silent, well Beca not so much, she's dying from the waiting.
"I-I don't understand, why now?"
"I made Luke talk and they're moving. They'll be here tomorrow"
Stacie's eyes widen "Your brother?"
"Step-brother please"
"Luke is your br-step-brother?" Beca asks.
"The asshole, yes. But I'll tell you everything later. So Stacie? Can I?"
"Yes sure"
Alex gives another letter to Beca who skeptically takes it.
When she reads her name in the envelope and her hearts skips a beat.
That's her father's handwriting.
Beca looks up "How…What…?"
"What is it Bec?" Chloe asks as she steps next to the small brunette.
"T-This is from my father"
They're interrupted by Megan who appears in the room. But it's not really her, it's like a hologram.
"Alex, Stacie, bring the girls to safe place, you know where, Alex. Bumper and Luke are coming for you. Do not fight with them. It's an order"
Megan's figure disappears. Stacie moves first.
"Alex, watch the hallway. Girls take some clothes, just a change. Come on"
Beca folds the letter putting it in the back pocket of her jeans.
Alex shifts back into the black cat out of the room while inside the girls move towards the wardrobe.
"What's going on? I'm scared"
Chloe whispers at Beca while they're taking some of the redhead's clothes. The brunette takes Chloe's hand and looks into her eyes.
"I have no idea, but I'm not gonna let anything happen to you" Beca kisses Chloe and then she steps back, taking the bag full of clothes.
"Come on" Beca waits for Chloe at the door. They join Aubrey and Stacie "Ready?"
"Yes, but what's going on Stace?" Beca asks worried, she still has her hand in Chloe's and squeezes it as she waits for an answer.
"I really don't know Beca, but if Megan said that you need to be in a safe place, I'm gonna get you there" Stacie opens the door and waits until everyone is out, she steps out and unlocks the door.
Alex is waiting for them and the end of the hallway. When the girls are a few steps away from her they watch as she's thrown against a window but an invisible force.
"Alex!" Stacie shouts, she starts to run towards her but immediately stops as Luke and a brunette guy turn the corner smiling as they're eyes land on the girls.
"Well, well, well…look who's here for the party" the brunette says. Beca keeps Chloe behind her and Aubrey on her left while Stacie is in front of them, the tall brunette turns and locks her gaze with Beca's briefly, then she turns back towards Luke and Bumper.
"Run away with them, we'll see you in five minutes, if I'm not back go away, Megan we'll reach you"
"I'm not l-"
"Beca please"
"Luke come on, let's kill the others and take The Adamas"
"You're the chosen one Bumper, so go on" The blonde says with an evil smile.
Bumper shrugs at Luke's words and runs towards Stacie who dodges the punch and kneels him.
Or at least she tries.
As she brings her knee to Bumper stomach he disappears and appears behind her hitting her on the head. She falls unconscious on the floor.
"Stacie!" Aubrey tries to run towards the tall brunette but Beca stops her.
"I'll handle them" the small brunette leaves Chloe's hand ignoring the redhead's protests and drops the bag on the ground.
Beca steps forwards frowning. Locking her eyes with the brunette guy. This Bumper shouldn't have powers, yet he just teleported himself behind Stacie. Maybe that was the reason Megan didn't want them to fight.
"Are you coming with us voluntarily?" Luke says smirking.
Beca laughs "Oh I'm sorry but I'm gonna kick your asses. Voluntarily"
She throws Luke at the end of the hallway and uses her speed punch Bumper in his stomach, before gripping at his shirt and lunching him against Luke who tries to stand up and gets hit by a flying Bumper groaning in pain.
"Alright I'll get Alex" Beca speeds and takes the unconscious cat going quickly back to Chloe and Aubrey.
Beca turns when she hears something moving and sees Luke and Bumper standing up. She quickly gives the cat to Chloe and easily lifts Stacie.
"Put a hand on me"
As Chloe and Aubrey do it, Beca teleports them in the first place nearby that comes through her mind.
"Seriously? The mini golf of Patty's?" Aubrey asks raising her eyebrows. Beca glares at her before laying down Stacie who starts moving.
"Well excuse me if I didn't think about a fancy hotel"
They're attention is caught by the disgusting sound of gagging. They turn the faces just in time to see Chloe throwing up. Beca steps beside her stroking her hand on her back "Are you ok?"
Chloe closes her eyes and takes a deep breath before speaking "I am now. I don't want to do that anymore, it was awful"
"Sorry…I needed to get you out of there and that was the fastest wa-" Chloe stops her placing her finger on her lips.
"I would have kissed you but…just shut up, you were amazing. You're hot when you use your powers" Chloe winks and smiles as Beca's cheeks become scarlet.
"What happened?!" Stacie, fully awake, is watching from Alex to Chloe and Beca, Aubrey is kneeled next to her with her hand on her back.
"Well…apparently Bumper has powers and they knocked, both, you and Alex, out and I…handled the situation, it was weirdly easy"
Stacie sighs and takes her head between her hands "Megan is going to kill me. Of course it was easy, you're you and they are…"
Stacie makes a disgusted face "Them. We need to wake Alex up"
The little cat is laying near Chloe, sleeping. Beca shakes it gaining a mew, she shakes it again and this time the cat jumps making an irritated sound.
The cat spends a few seconds to understand where it is and when it sees that it's safe it shifts back in a human form. Beca quickly gives her a shirt and a pair of pants.
"Thank you. Uhm… what happened?" Alex asks as she puts the clothes on.
"We're ok, that's what matters. What's the next move?" Beca says looking at Stacie for support.
"We need to go…" Alex puts a hand on Beca's head and the imagine of a house in the middle of nowhere near a lake appears in front of her eyes.
"There"
Beca's eyes widen "How did you…?" the brunette misses the glare Chloe gives at Alex who steps away from Beca more than the necessary.
"I can only if I interact with someone with powers"
"Oh…but how am I supposed to bring you there if I don't know where it is?"
"You'll be able to, don't worry. You'll be a little tired after that, just for information"
Beca rolls her eyes "Awesome" she turns to the redhead who has a terrified look on her face.
"We need to do that again right?"
"I'm so sorry Chlo"
Chloe sighs "Fine"
They put a hand on Beca who closes her eyes and hopes for the best.
They land on grass, the wind hist their faces and the smell of wood goes through their noses. The house is in the middle of a little open area between the woods. The lake is behind the wooden house and is so vast that it's impossible to see where it ends.
"Let's go inside" Alex, Aubrey and Stacie walk towards the house as Beca checks on Chloe who is a little pallid.
"How are you feeling?"
"Like shit, but I'm not gonna puke"
Beca smiles at the redhead who starts walking to the house.
"Wow" Beca says as she steps inside. It's the typical house of a lumberjack, vaulted wood ceiling and walnut floor. As you walk in there is a huge pace where there are two sofas where five people would sit comfortably on without being shoulder to shoulder. On the left there are the stairs to go up and down and the kitchen with a table. On the right there is a fireplace, at the bottom of the room there is a grand piano near a big window from where you can see the lake.
"What is this place?" Chloe asks as she look around.
"I didn't know about this place" Stacie says as she looks around too, with Aubrey by her side.
"It's Megan's, I think. No one knows about this place, even the Council"
Beca quirks an eyebrow, that's a strange thing, Megan keeping something hidden from the Council.
"The rooms are upstairs, chose one. I think there are five so…I know you are tired but first I think we should talk. First, you need to read the letter Beca"
The letter.
She's almost forgot about it. Beca reaches for it from the back pocket of her jeans. Her hands hare sweating. She looks up and meets Stacie's eyes. The tall brunette nods.
"Open it"
She feels Chloe stepping closer to her and a hand is placed on her waist.
Beca's hands are shaking as she opens it.
"Hi Beca, if you're reading this it means I'm dead and that you died too…"
