Hi Guys so I may be taking a small break from writing, I have a lot of personal issues going on and to be completely honest, I'm lucky I have a strong willpower otherwise I wouldn't be here right now.
Chloe arrives with Beca still blindfolded and moves next to Aubrey at the front of the group.
"The Sopranos, Jessica, Mary Elise and Lily. The Metsos, Cynthia Rose, Stacie and Cory. And our Altos, Fat Amy, Denise, Ashley and Beca." Aubrey says ripping off everyone's blindfolds. Beca feeling a flashback coming along as Aubrey rips her blindfold off.
"Welcome Beca Mitchell, to the League of Angels." Dr Harrison says as she takes off Beca's blindfold. Beca couldn't remember what had happened, she just remembered Dr Harrison saying she could take the pain away then going to sleep and she woke up here, in the sandy pit.
"W-What am I doing here Dr Harrison?" A nine year old Beca asks, fearing for her life. Dr Harrison looks down upon her new student.
"You're here to learn to let go. My name is Uriel and I'll be your teacher. Here comes Michael, the leader and your master." Uriel bows slightly as Michael approaches. Beca's fear spikes as she looks at how scary Michael looks.
"You must be Uriel's new student." Michael says, looking Beca up and down and seeing how scared she is.
"There is no need to be afraid. I'm Michael and I'm the leader of the League of Angels. We are a group of assassins that will train you to kill bad people like your father and stop people like your mother and sister from getting hurt. Understand?" Michael adds calmly and Beca's fear drops dramatically as she agrees with Michael, she wanted to stop other kids from losing their families like she did. She feels the tears pool in her eyes as she thinks about her mother and sister but she pushes it back and pretends to be strong. Michael sees this and admires it, knowing that Beca was going to be different from other students, she was going to be a fast learner, a good killer and an excellent leader when he passed.
"You are no longer going to be called Beca. Your name is now… Azrael. Be sure to live up to that name, it stands for something that you'll soon find out. I have great hope for you as for now, I leave you with Uriel for you to get settled, training will start tomorrow." Michael says before starting to walk away but he stops and turns around.
"Oh and Azrael… Always bow before your superiors. Uriel." Michael turns and walks away, as soon as he does Uriel kicks Beca in the ribs making her collapse to the floor in tears.
"That was for not bowing Azrael. You have much to learn. Get up and I shall show you your quarters." Uriel growls and Beca clutches her ribs as she tries to stand but can't. She looks up at Uriel and glares before gritting her teeth and standing up. She wasn't going to let Uriel get the better of her so quickly, she had to be strong and she knew that.
"Beca. It's your turn." Chloe smiles gently, holding the chalice up in front of her. Beca looks to her.
"Don't worry it's Boones Farm." Chloe shrugs, Beca takes the chalice and takes a sip of the drink before Chloe moves on to Ashley. All the girls take a drink and Chloe turns to the front with Aubrey. "Okay girls, please place your scarves in your right hand." Chloe says, everyone follows the order.
"I, sing your name." Aubrey starts to say the oath. The girls all copy, singing their various names in different pitches, making Beca, Aubrey and Chloe cringe.
"Promise to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a Bella woman." Aubrey continues on with the oath after taking a deep breath and giving Chloe a side glance.
"And I solemnly promise to never have sexual relations with a Treblemaker, or may my vocal cords be ripped out by wolves." Aubrey adds out of impulse and hate for the Treblemakers. Everyone pauses for a moment, looking to each other before repeating what Aubrey had said. After they finished, Aubrey spoke again.
"You are all Bella's now." The light in the gym turn back on and all the girls cheer and laugh while Fat Amy grabs the chalice and finishes the Boones Farm before walking over to Beca with Stacie. "You're Beca right? I'm Fat Amy." She say, her smile brightening.
"Yeah that's right, pleasure Fat Amy." Beca answers with a small smile and the shake of Amy's offered hand. Stacie goes to speak again when Chloe jumps between the three, facing Beca.
"Time to party, let's go." Chloe beams before running off to be with Aubrey. Beca looks to Stacie and Fat Amy, shrugging as they all follow the other girls out of the gym and to the courtyard where a small party is being held.
"I don't know what I'm doing here." Beca says to Stacie as the Bellas arrive at the amphitheater. Stacie smiles and nudges Beca a little.
"We're living the dream. I still can't believe they let me in." She says almost unconfidently.
"I'm going to get you a drink, I think you need to get out of this level." She adds sarcastically as she turns and leaves. Beca manages to escape the crowd and make her way to the back of the amphitheater to meditate a little, refocus on the mission and allow herself to switch off her emotions completely but her thoughts are interrupted by a redhead calling her name.
Chloe runs up to Beca and grabs her wrists firmly.
"Hi." She says sweetly, pulling Beca towards her, to the point where they were mere inches from kissing, Beca pulling away at the last second feeling nothing finally.
"I'm so glad that I met you." Chloe confesses as she leans in, Beca doesn't panic, she remains calm and tells herself to pull away if Chloe gets too close but she relaxes when Chloe touches her forehead to hers and speak again, not moving any closer.
"I think we're going to be really fast friends." Chloe adds as she pulls away slightly. Beca shows off a bright smile.
"Yeah, well you saw me naked so." Beca replies sarcastically with an additional wink. Chloe smirks. "Okay well I'm going to get a drink. This ginger needs her jiggle juice." Chloe admits as she steps away. Beca watches as she shake her butt before slapping and clicking her fingers.
"Make good choices." Beca manages to get out before Chloe disappears into the crowd. Moments later, a song is played over the speakers and Beca recognizes it immediately, 'Keep your Head Up' by Andy Grammar.
"WE ARE THE KINGS OF CAMPUS!" Beca hears Jesse yell from the other end of the amphitheater, realizing that he is a part of the Bellas rival team, the Treblemakers. She looks around and notices Fat Amy dancing on the edge of two aisle seats, attempting to twerk, Beca was guessing from whatever videos she saw online, trying to 'keep up with the times'. She then looks further past Fat Amy to see Chloe making out with a tall brunette guy that Beca recognized from Jesse's posse earlier on. Tom laughed as Jesse pushed Chloe over. 'So why hook up with an asshole?' Beca asks herself before looking away.
"Beca, come party." A drunk Stacie and Aubrey approach the brunette. Beca didn't want to party nor did she want to be at this party. She hated that party scenes and only hung around them when it was for the League.
"No thanks, I'm good but you guys go ahead." Beca tries to hurry the girls away so she can escape the alcohol fuelled rage fest growing in front of it. Watching these sorts of parties, with drunk students makes Beca feel sad for the world.
"Come on!" Aubrey whines and Beca glances at the blonde with wide eyes, the day before during auditions, Aubrey was glaring at her and now the blonde wanted Beca to party with her. Not going to happen.
"Sorry, Aubrey, not in the party mood but don't let me spoil your fun. Look there's Chloe, go party with her." Beca points out the clearly drunk redhead across the aisle and the two drunk girls into front of her smile at each other before walking away to go meet up with Chloe.
"God Michael why must I get these targets?" Beca mutters to herself as she starts to walk to a quieter part of the party, knowing that she had to stay around in case Chloe wanted to open up more in her drunk state.
The party was winding down and Beca decided after not being able to spot Chloe that was going to head back to her dorm room. As Beca made her way across the quad, she hears a girl yell out and Beca immediately pricks up, jumping into Azrael mode as she rounds the corner to see Jesse pinning Aubrey against the wall, trying to make a move on her. Aubrey clearly not interested didn't matter to Jesse as he continued to shove his tongue down her throat, holding her wrists so she couldn't push him back anymore.
"Get away from her asshole." Beca says as she walks toward the two. Jesse detaches his lips from Aubrey's and turns to Beca, growling at the interruption.
"This doesn't concern you Mitchell, fuck off." Jesse orders and Beca crosses her arms over her chest, standing still and not moving an inch.
"Didn't you hear me Mitchell. Fuck. Off." Jesse says again as he turns back to Aubrey. Beca still doesn't move and instead decides to rile him up.
"Or what? You'll hit me. I'd like to see that. Try it Swanson. Come on." Beca urges him to do it, waiting for that sweet moment from attacking to defending herself that is Jesse attempting to hit her. Jesse growls again and let's Aubrey go. The blonde falling to the ground, her back against the wall, she was more drunk than Beca thought.
"Get the hell out of here or else." Jesse grits through his teeth, getting up in Beca's face but Beca still doesn't move. Jesse turns back around when Beca speaks up again.
"I'm not moving." Beca replies calmly and Jesse curses loudly before turning back to the smaller brunette, his fist clenched and moving toward Beca's face but Beca moves out of the way of the thrown punch. Beca waits for Jesse to throw another punch and he does which Beca dodges again. Jesse attempts another punch and Beca dodges a third time but this time grabs his wrist and twists it in an unnatural direction causing him to cry out in pain.
"Go home Jesse." Beca shoves Jesse back before moving toward Aubrey to help her but also aware of Jesse trying to king hit Beca from behind. The assassin blood lust requiring attention, Beca needed to let Azrael out of the cage for a moment and she does so moving herself to kick Jesse in the ribs causing him to stumble backward before Beca steps around and does a spinning kick to his face, knocking him out cold.
"Al'ahmaq. (Asshole.)" Beca mutters in Arabic before moving back to Aubrey.
Chloe hears knocking on her apartment door and gets up to go answer it, thankful that she was starting to sober up after leaving the party a couple of hours before and not drinking as much as the others. She opens the door to find Beca carrying Aubrey fireman-style.
"Uh hi, forgive me for the late night door knock but I thought you may want your best friend back. I found her with Jesse Swanson's tongue down her throat." Beca says outright and Chloe moves aside to allow Beca into the apartment, directing Beca into Aubrey's room where Beca places Aubrey carefully on the bed. The two girls leave the room to allow the blonde to sleep off the alcohol in her system.
"Thankyou so much for that. I figured she would have known better than that." Chloe mumbles apologetically to the shorter girl and Beca waves it off.
"Jesse wasn't exactly stopping when she asked. It's okay, he has been dealt with. I just wanted to make sure Aubrey got home okay, even if I had to carry her. She is innocent in this, she tried to push him away and no innocent people should have to suffer, especially through something like abuse." Beca replies and Chloe nods her head, losing all focus as she meets the other girl's eyes. Beca smirks before speaking again.
"I should go but I'll see you round Chloe." Beca lets one side of her mouth form a half smile and Chloe grins before nodding widely.
"Definitely." She says excitedly before practically jumping on the brunette and hugging her. Beca tenses under the contact.
"Uhh what are you doing?" Beca asks and Chloe steps back thinking that Beca didn't want to be hugged but when she sees the genuinely confused look on Beca's face, she answers verbally.
"I'm hugging you silly. What? Have you never been hugged before?" Chloe laughs but stops suddenly when Beca doesn't laugh, Chloe watches as Beca's mind turns over and over in her head.
"Not for a long time Red, anyways I'll see you round." Beca says before walking out the door, leaving Chloe to think about what Beca meant. 'How long was a long time?' 'Who was the last person to hug her?' 'Does Beca just not like hugs or do people just not show her affection?' Chloe thinks over in her head before deciding to head to bed herself and sleep off whatever alcohol she too had in her system.
Sooooo… Azrael comes out to play for a minute and honestly Jesse is a dick and deserves it
I know I made Jesse a sort of bad guy in this one but this story was planned that way, I knew I wanted a worse Jesse than what we are used to.
Another important flashback in this one. Well all the flashbacks are important because it contributes to what Beca has forged herself into now, a warrior, a killer.
Be sure to review as I love to read them and PM me if you have any cool ideas and I'll be sure to answer!
Thanks Guys.
