Chloe and I spent the last month planning our trip to Yellowstone to see my grandmother. That left us with two weeks left of the semester, and tensions were high between most of us. Aubrey and I had been fighting to the point of nearly prying each other's eyes out with a spoon. Chloe and I had barely spent more than a few moments a day alone together, normally right before one of us fell asleep. Sadly the next two weeks were set up to be the same exact way. Tonight looked like it would turn out the same way when I walk into the apartment and Aubrey is alone reading her text book.
"Chloe is at a study group till late." Aubrey says and I nod, I really don't feel like going down to my shitty dorm with Kimmy Jin tonight. Instead I make my way down the hall to Chloe's room, leaving the door cracked for her, I curl up in bed and instantly fall asleep.

I'm not sure how long I have been asleep for but suddenly Aubrey is screaming and my eyes snap open. Chloe comes running into the living room in her pj's as Aubrey is on the back of the couch freaking out, I keep looking around trying to figure out why Aubrey is so upset, all I can really think of is how tired I am.
"Chloe oh my god Chloe how did that even get in here?" She screams and suddenly I realize she is talking about me…
"Aubrey… I need you to sit down for a moment…"
"I was cuddled up to it Chloe! It's a fucking wolf!" I can't remember if I've ever heard Aubrey cruse, well besides at me or while Stacie and her are, well I just don't want to think about that.
"Aubrey… It's Beca."
"Shut the hell up Chloe, I'm not going to fall for that." Aubrey snaps and Chloe rolls her eyes and suddenly she is standing next to me on all fours, in wolf form. Aubrey hits the floor, I snicker and Chloe waps my nose with her paw. She changes back and looks at me, expecting me to do the same. I roll my eyes and change back.
"I can't believe you!" She yells at me and I turn red.
"I didn't mean to. I sleep walk."
"What?" Chloe looks at me, fear in her eyes. "Beca why didn't you ever say something about it. You could have been hurt, god Beca someone could shoot you if they saw you in wolf form out here." She pulls me close, holding me.
"I'm not a big fan of people knowing." I answer, hugging her back.
"I should get Aubrey up…" She says after a few moments.
"Do you have to?" I ask and look up into her blue eyes, begging her to just hold me longer. She smiles and kisses the tip of my nose.
"God Beca you are so cute." She smiles and I roll my eyes.
"Get her up, I'm not cute." I state and Chloe laughs at me. I watch her move over to Aubrey and pick the blonde's head into her lap, she whispered to the woman and after a few minutes finally Aubrey's eyes opened.
"Welcome back Blondie." I smirk and she blinks at me.
"What in god's name are you?"
"Walkers." I state and Chloe nods.
"We are from two prominent families of walkers, my family tends to be more mythical creatures."
"While mine are normal everyday zoo animals really, mainly predators but a few things like horses and others."
"You are a wolf too though?" Aubrey looks up at Chloe a little confused but mainly hurt. "Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"I haven't told anyone before."
"It's not something we are supposed to allow others to know about too. The only reason Chloe and I know about one another is, well they say when you find your mate as a walker you might not know right off, but there is a pull."
"Mate?" Aubrey's eyes shot wide.
"Yes, it's why I was hoping you would be more open toward Beca sooner or later." Chloe smiles looking at me. "I love her."
"And I love Chloe." I look at Aubrey. "I promise you can hate me all you want but we both want what's best for Chloe right?" She nods. "Then we should be fine right?"
"Why the hell were you cuddled up next to me?" She glares at me and I turn red again.
"I sleep walk, and I tend to cuddle…" At this Aubrey bursts out laughing and nods.
"Alright Mitchell, I'll let it slide. I can deal with this. Just next time, keep your wet nose off the back of my neck. It's not nice to wake up your cuddle buddy that way." She smiles at me and I smile back, we'll be ok.

a/n: I know it's short, and it's been forever, but I had to have Aubrey know before the next chapter.
