Okay guys so I'm back with another chapter. Now, I'm warning you all to make sure you read the whole chapter because some of you may panic about halfway through. Please don't, read the whole thing before you panic haha. That's all I can say. I can tell you though that everything will be revealed soon.
Beca moves to the back of the van.
"Ashley, Cynthia Rose. I need you to move for a second." Beca asks of the two girls and they both comply standing up and moving out of the way. All the girls watch as Beca kneels down and pulls the seat up.
"What the?" Jessica whispers as Beca pulls out an automatic rifle and five 30 round magazines. Beca pulls the cocking mechanism back on the rifle, puts one of the magazines in and flicks the cocking mechanism back forward again, loading the weapon.
"I need you guys to do exactly as I say. Put your windows down, I need all of them down." The Bellas listen to Beca and all of the windows in the van go down.
"Fat Amy, how good are you driving when you are ducked down?" Beca asks and the only response she gets is a thumbs up from Amy in the driver's seat. Beca moves back down to Chloe near the front of the van, handing Chloe the magazines.
"I need you to hold these for me. I trust you. When I say, just hold one out and I'll do the rest." Beca reassures and Chloe nods. Beca moves up to Fat Amy.
"I need you to step on it and if they start shooting, duck down and do your expert defensive driving." Beca orders, patting Fat Amy on the shoulder then turning to Aubrey, who looked like she was going to vomit.
"Aubrey, hey, we're going to be okay. I promised you I wouldn't let anymore of the Bellas get hurt and I'm going to stick to that as much as I can. You are all going to live through this okay?" Beca comforts, placing a reassuring hand on Aubrey's knee. Aubrey's jade green eyes meet Beca's and she instantly starts to relax a bit more, putting all of her faith and trust into Beca. She nods and Beca smirks before she notices the other van is starting to pull up alongside the back of the Bellas van. She notices Raphael driving and two other assassins in the van with him, Etheriel and Castiel.
"Shit shit shit!" Beca yells out.
"What is it?" Stacie asks, she had been the only one that hadn't been shocked by Beca's revelation because she had already known part of the truth. She reacted well to the rest because she had time to process that everything that was happening was actually real.
"Michael sent sharp shooters. Top marksman. The vans are bulletproof but just be careful everyone. Stay seated, put your seatbelts on, bend down and grab the back of your calves when I say." Beca calls out and all the girls give out a quick verbal okay.
"Amy, whatever you do, don't let them onto your side. That's where the fuel container is." Beca says and Fat Amy gives a thumbs up again. Beca watches as Raphael's van start to pull up next to the Bella's van. She watches as Castiel puts his window down and both him and Etheriel load their weapons.
"Everyone Get Down!" Beca yells and she ducks with all the Bellas as both assassins unleash hell on the Bellas van. Bullets fly through the windows and some of the girls cry out in shock that they are actually being shot at. When the shooting stops, Beca pops her head up quickly to see them reloading, she takes her chance and straightens up, aiming her weapon and firing, hitting Etheriel in the arm then the head. Castiel checks on his fallen brother and Beca watches his face go dark before he brings his weapon around and fires. Beca ducking again but not before taking a shot to the shoulder.
"Ahh!" Beca cries out as the force of the hit knocks her to the ground, the rifle falling out of her grip. Chloe turns her head from her position and locks eyes with Beca lying on the floor of the van, her hand covered in blood from the bullet wound to the shoulder. Beca gives her a reassuring nod, telling her that she is fine before rolling over and grabbing her rifle again. When the firing stops again, Beca straightens up and fires one shot, hitting Castiel in the head.
"Amy go! Floor it!" Beca yells out and Fat Amy, puts her foot down on the gas pedal, the van taking off, away from Raphael's. Beca looks up and notices Raphael isn't trying to keep up, instead he is pulling back slightly. She watches as he winds down his window and brings out his gun, aiming it for the back right tyre. He fires and the target is a hit when the Bellas hear a load bang and the van starts to lose control, turning to the left, Beca knew what was next.
"Everyone, hold on!" Beca calls out as the van tips over and starts rolling. Beca not being strapped in is instantly knocked out with a hit to the head.
When the car stops rolling, the Bellas find they are on their side. They all unbuckle their seatbelts, most of them holding their hands to their heads and necks from the whiplash of the crash. Chloe instantly starts searching for Beca.
"Ah, Beca?" Chloe groans. A loud bang catches her attention for a second but it was just Cynthia Rose, opening the back emergency door of the van, the girls start to file out while Chloe continues searching for Beca.
"Becs? Call out if you can hear me. Beca?" Chloe calls out but there is no response. She starts making her way out of the van when she finds Beca toward the back. Chloe crawls to her, ignoring the pain in her head and finds Beca lying on her front.
"Becs? Oh God." Chloe says as she rolls Beca over to find, Beca's head had been cut open and was bleeding severely, her lip split open, her shoulder that was shot was dislocated, her ribs were disfigured which meant they were broken and her left leg was bent awkwardly at the knee. She was covered head to toe in bruises and cuts.
"Beca?" Chloe says again, checking her pulse and finding Beca doesn't have one.
"Shit! Aubrey! Stacie! Help!" The redhead cries out for her friends. Aubrey appears next to Chloe in seconds, followed by Stacie.
"She's not breathing." Chloe cries and Aubrey immediately goes to work doing CPR on Beca.
"Careful, I think her ribs are broken." Chloe reminds Aubrey and her best friend nods as she adjusts slightly and continues CPR, Stacie giving the breaths. Chloe starts to cry when Beca doesn't respond.
"Come on Beca." Chloe urges but Beca still doesn't respond. Aubrey and Stacie stop giving the CPR and Chloe watches as they head out of the van, their heads dropped. Chloe leans over and kisses Beca's forehead then her lips.
"Beca, I promised that I would never leave you but you can't leave me. I love you Beca Mitchell. Please don't leave me." Chloe begs but Beca doesn't respond to Chloe's words. The redhead bursting into tears as she kisses Beca once more before heading out of the van, every step away from Beca cracking Chloe's heart more and more.
As Chloe stands up outside the van and notices all the Bellas in the other van that was parked.
"Miss Beale." Chloe turns to see a man to her left. He was about 6 feet tall with chocolate brown eyes, he reminded Chloe of Tom except with a shorter, business like haircut.
"My name is Raphael. I need you to come with me." He asks, holding out his hand. Chloe looks back to the van then to Raphael.
"What about Beca?" She asks, and Raphael glances at the van. Chloe's chest aching just mentioning Beca's name.
"Azrael made her choice to go rogue and she died for it. Her death will go in vain for our leader but it was the choice she made and the choice she died for." Raphael answers and Chloe feels anger rise in her, refusing to take Raphael's hand. Raphael takes a deep breath and brings out his other hand, holding the gun.
"Please come with me Miss Beale." Raphael asks again and Chloe glances at the gun before staring into Raphael's eyes. She reaches out and takes his hand and he escorts her to his van where the rest of the Bellas are. Most of them with dried streams of tears running down their cheeks. Aubrey and Stacie must have told them about Beca. Raphael gets into the driver's seat and starts the van, driving away from the crashed van and heading back to the League.
"Hi, would you be interested in joining our Acapella group?" Chloe asks Beca as she hands her a flyer.
"Oh, right this is like a thing now huh?" Beca replies, realising she probably just completely compromised the mission, she was supposed to get closer to Chloe not push her away but she watched as Chloe bit her bottom lip and Beca smirks a little.
"Oh totes, we sing covers of songs without any instruments, it's all from our mouths." Chloe says nervously. The shorter girl smiles awkwardly, not knowing how to interact with normal people, she hadn't interacted with someone outside of the League in eleven years.
"Yikes." Beca says. Aubrey smiles as Chloe explains the groups on campus.
"We sing all over the world and compete in national championships." Chloe intrudes over Aubrey. "On purpose." Beca replies sarcastic and unemotionally again ….
"The key is to lift the bar as you're pulling up, let the momentum from your pull get you up then just hook on the next set of hooks. Like this." Beca explains before taking the bar and showing Chloe the action. Beca lets go and Chloe grabs onto the bar and pulls herself up, hooking on side of the bar onto the second rung but the other side slipping, Chloe falls but Beca catches her. The girls pause in that moment, staring into each other's eyes, Beca holding Chloe by her hips. Chloe reaches up and moves a loose, sweaty strand of hair from Beca's face but doesn't remove the hand instead leaving it settled on Beca's cheek. Both the girls feel gravity pulling their faces closer and Chloe eagerly leans forward, placing her lips on Beca's and noticing that Beca was responding. They pull their lips apart and Beca touches her forehead to Chloe's.
"W huna aietaqadat lm almalayikat la wujud laha. Bed ant jamilat mthl 'ay almalak. (And here I thought Angels did not exist. Yet you are as beautiful as any Angel.)" Beca hums in Arabic.
"Do you love me too Beca?" Chloe says quietly. Beca stops at the doorway and holds the handle, taking a deep breath she turns back to the redhead and replies. 'She is drunk anyway. She won't remember by the morning.' Beca says to herself.
"You scare me. Because you have this ability to make me feel again and I don't want to. I don't know what love is Chloe." Beca says before leaving, shutting the door behind her. Chloe sits on the bed shocked at what she had just heard but shortly passes out on the bed.
"Please, I need to be with my sister, where is she?" Beca asks, the paramedic watches her burst into tears and his gut twists.
"I'm sorry sweetheart." He says, kneeling down to meet Beca's level. Beca looks deep into his eyes and it clicks in her head.
"No, no, no! NO! Hailee No!" Beca becomes frantic as she runs over to the ambulance holding Hailee. She looks in and finds Hailee, lifeless on the stretcher.
"Hailee, please no." Beca says as she gets in and grabs her sister's cold, pale hand and placing her head on Hailee's chest.
"Hailee, wake up please. I need you. Please don't leave me!" Beca squeaks as she bursts into hysterics.
Beca's eyes spring open and she takes a deep inhaling breath only to find breathing hurts her a LOT. She tries to sit up but struggles immensely. She uses her good arm to hold her ribs as she sits up and makes her way out of the tipped over van, being careful of all her injuries. As she gets out, she looks up at the sky, realising it is about mid-morning. She searches around but doesn't find the Bellas, instead she sees tyre tracks doing a U-Turn.
"Raphael." Beca concludes that he came and got them and took them back to the League to be executed. Beca looks at her body, noticing her shoulder was dislocated and her left knee was dislocated. She limps over to the side of the van which is actually the roof. She stands directly in front of the van, her left hand on the roof, she turns her body before slamming her right shoulder into the van, popping it back into place. She grits her teeth as the pain radiates through her and when the pain settles down, she moves her arm carefully.
"Now the knee." She says as she repeats the process, slamming the outside of her left leg into the van, her knee popping back in, she again grits her teeth, the pain being substantially worse than her shoulder. When the pain subsides again, she moves her leg carefully as she did with her shoulder. Once her limbs were functional again, she finds all of her weapons in the van and puts them in their correct holsters. She also finds the rifle and extra magazines and she moves to the edge of the road, looking down the road leading back to the League.
"Here we go again." She says before stepping off, walking back toward the group that is holding her friends and the love of her life.
Okay guys, as I said there will be a big reveal soon and it is going to change everything and as I said, it does have to do with a reoccuring theme throughout the story.
Also, the way Beca loads her rifle is the correct way because I was in the Army and trained to use rifles, not everything is like movies, you actually have to cock the weapon back to allow the round in the chamber to release and when you put the magazine in and let the cocking mechanism go, it puts a new round in the chamber of the weapon. If you knew that already then that's cool but if you didn't well you just learnt something new.
Please Review your thoughts as I do read them all and it is you guys who influence to keep writing. I've been thinking of new story ideas since this one is nearly over, if anyone has any ideas then please let me know.
Until next time.
