Hey guys, I changed the rating to M, but I probably won't post anything worthy of M until tomorrow, but who knows? Sorry I didn't post this morning, but I am super busy. Yesterday's chapter name is 'Just One Yesterday' by Fall Out Boy, and today it's one of the opening lyrics to 'Fourth of July', also by Fall Out Boy. Again, I don't own anything, and thanks for the reviews. - IntenseFanGirl

Chapter 6: You and I were Fire

Beca POV

"Chlo?" I cried out into the darkness, I wasn't sure if it was dark or I was blind. Echoes of crying out and pain seemed to fall around me like shards of broken glass. I heard a door click nearby me, but when I turned to look, all that I could see was darkness.

I blinked, once, twice. The bed was cold and empty except for me, but I could still smell the faint scent of her fruity perfume. I didn't imagine it, the drinks, the stagger home, Chloe slipping into my bed, the kisses. Her cherry chapstick mixed with the taste of alcohol on her lips to create some sort of intoxicating cocktail. Her soft hair under my hands. When we kissed I thought we both wanted it. Each kiss burning yet still so gentle. Yet here I was, alone as the sunlight snuck through my window shades like burning tendrils. I closed my eyes, I'm just so tired. Of this life on a path leading to nowhere. Of letting people in and trusting them, only to wake up to them leaving. Well I am done, I guess I fucked it up this time, but I am done. I shouldn't have let her in so easily, let her see the parts of me that I had never let anyone see before. She must have been more drunk than I thought if she had so easily slipped into my arms like that. I fucked up, and there's not going back now. Chloe probably hates me, and probably even got all the other Bellas to hate me too. I felt a burning in my throat, and I didn't swallow it down. I let it build up inside me until it came pouring out, each acidic drop burning as it fell down my face. Thank god Kimmy Jin wasn't here or I would probably be yelled at for being an overdramatic white girl. A horrible hiccup of a laugh escaped my mouth through all my sobs. I was shuddering with hysterical laughter and pain. I couldn't stop, both laughter and tears just kept pouring out of my body until suddenly, I was empty. Hallow. Completely devoid of anything, any feelings, thoughts, energy, anything. I was just nothing, yet at the same time I was somehow everything. I clawed at my chest, trying to get rid of this awful feeling, but it was hopeless.

The room was silent, and suddenly I could hear pounding thumps like heavy footsteps, and the sound of something sharp ticking on the floor outside. The strong scent of dog slithered under the door and towards me, and instinctively I curled up and hissed. If I had fur on my spine it would be standing straight up, but the best I could do was puff up my tail. The door was not locked as far as I could tell, and suddenly the door was busted in. A massive cream colored wolf-like dog bounded into the room and ran straight at me. I screamed and cried out in pain when it pounced onto my torso, pushing me down on the bed. It's sharp white teeth gleaming inches from my face. I struggled to grip its sides, but it's front paws held me down. I kicked and screamed, hoping that someone would hear me, anyone, even Chloe.

"Please, please don't kill me." I whimpered when my voice cracked and could not scream anymore. Hazel eyes locked into mine, and I could see them soften, I felt like I had seen those eyes before. It leaned back and closed its previously gaping maw. Sitting down on my stomach, it growled at me, pulling back its lips to reveal its teeth once more. I heard rapid footsteps coming up to my door and both the wolf and I, because judging from pure size and appearance this dog had to be at least part wolf, turned to look at the new arrival. Stacie stood panting at my wide open door, her high heels dangling from one hand while she leaned over to catch her breath. Still looking as flawless, even with rumpled clothes that had obviously been taken off and quickly put on, she smirked at the scene before her. I took the opportunity to push the wolf off of me, and grabbed my paper weight from my desk just in case I needed to hit it with something heavy. The wolf yelped and snapped its jaws at me.

"Aubrey, calm down. It is not Beca's fault that you had to play 'Big Bad Wolf' and come here to threaten her. I think she deserves a little more explanation." Stacie rolled her eyes at my dumbstruck expression. Aubrey's a wolf? Hell yeah I need an explanation.

Ooooooo cliff hanger over here. I probably will have time to write some more tomorrow, 'cause I think you guys probably need an explanation too. However, my parents are coming back from Chicago tomorrow night so I'm not sure exactly how much I can write. Lots of love, and be sure to leave reviews on whether or not you like Aubrey as a werewolf
