A/N: Appreciating the follows and reviews, starting to feel a little more confident about this. I guess it helps to motivate me knowing people are actually waiting for more. Hopefully this chapter will lead to less of the movie scenes and more personal scenes with Bella rehearsals and whatnot. Hoping for some development, lets see where my brain takes me. Please keep reviewing, constructive criticism always welcome, and of course compliments as well. Again I don't own any characters or songs or any of that jazz, I just use them for my own guilty pleasure.
Hood Night
Once Chloe and Aubrey finished sorting through the auditions, they had to act fast in order to have the new Bellas ready for Aca-initiation night. One by one the two seniors kidnapped the girls from their dorm rooms, throwing a hood over their heads and leading them to the decorated rehearsal room. Chloe couldn't help but take advantage of the chance to let her hands linger on Beca's body as they guided her out of the room. Chloe mouthed a quick 'sorry' to her obviously disturbed roommate, before shutting the door.
All the girls were gathered in the candlelit room, separated and lined up. Chloe gave Aubrey one last hopeful look and Aubrey gave her a determined one in return before they moved behind the girls.
"The sopranos." Aubrey's voice was loud and clear as she and Chloe ripped the hoods off of the girls heads, saying each one's name in time. "Jessica, Mary-Elise, Lily" Chloe couldn't help but feel the same rush she did the same night four years ago when she was standing there, hood over her face, tingling with excitement.
"The mezzos, Cynthia Rose, Stacie, Kori. And our altos, Fat Amy, Denise, Ashley, and Beca." Aubrey moved over to the makeshift alter and took a large goblet, handing it to Chloe. "We shall begin by drinking the blood of the sisters that came before you"
Chloe moved up to Beca and Beca was quick to protest. "Dude, no!"
Chloe leaned in, barely catching a whiff of the girl's shampoo, almost sure it was a man's. "Don't worry, it's Boone's Farm" She gave her a quick wink and handed it to her before passing it along down the line.
Chloe and Aubrey went to stand back in front of the group of girls. Chloe felt that tingling again as she spoke the words she had heard those years ago. "Now if you will place your scarves in your right hands"
Aubrey had the girls go through the pledge and after Fat Amy finished off the 'Blood of the Sisters', Chloe and Aubrey led them to Aca-initiation Night.
Later that night
Once they reached the party, Chloe noticed Beca was quick to break off from the group as one of the new Trebles made his way over to her in a rather irritating way. She heard him caw her name and winced a bit, her eyes scanning the crowd. They landed on her friend from the shower and she quickly sidled up to him, pressing her lips against his. Looking back up at Beca, she noticed how the guy felt comfortable with her, like he could just waltz up to her and start making all these inside jokes.
She hated guys like that, guys who thought everything was a story, like it was just some movie where the boy would say the perfect thing to the girl, and the girl would pretend to hate it but secretly love it, and then after he makes a mistake, he has to chase her down in the airport and stop her by getting on the plane with a kiss.
It was the same old song and dance and Chloe knew it that relationships like that never last. She had had an experience like that before, and all that taught her was that the dramatics should be saved for the movies. Upfront honesty, openness, and affection. That's what built relationships, and that's how Chloe lived her life.
The second she saw the guy leave Beca, Chloe made her way up to her. "Hi!" Grabbing her hands, she pulled her close, their faces only inches away. "I am so glad that I met you" Chloe moved closer, their lips only centimeters apart now. "I think that we're going to be really fast friends"
"Well you have seen me naked..." Beca smirked and winked.
Chloe flushed and let go of her hands, moving back a bit. She swallowed and regained her usual cheery smile. "So are you excited to be a Bella? I mean I know you aren't really too interested in it, but you have an amazing voice and we could really use your help." She looked over at Aubrey, talking to Fat Amy. "I mean Aubrey would never admit it, but she was pretty impressed with your audition, and I mean I was blown away"
It was Beca's turn to flush now and she smiled a bit. "Thank you so much, I mean I've always been into music but I've never been too much of a singer"
Chloe smiled at Beca's pink cheeks and caught a glimpse of the Treblemaker coming back. She turned to Beca. "Well I'm gonna go get a drink, this ginger needs her jiggle juice!" She turned and gave her booty a shake and a smack before going to find her boy.
After snuggling up under his arm and taking the drink, she began to talk to him about the new Bellas. She found herself talking more about one in particular but then the music was turned on and she let the booze and the music take over her head.
Chloe spent the night drinking and dancing and ended up going back to his place. In the morning, after she gathered up her clothes and ran her fingers through her hair a couple times to try to tame her ginger mane. During her walk of shame across campus, her mind went to the inevitable Bella rehearsal that afternoon. It was time to see what these ladies could do.
