Heya! Sorry for the long wait! Seriously, January and February are the death of me! So many exams...hopefully I can go back to regular updates in March. Don't be mad at me. #Puppyface#
And HELLOWW to the new followers 'course!
I'm sad that no one suggested the PoV for next chap...hopefully I'll make the right choice, but you can still tell me what you think.
Little shoutouts:
PC31-Said-we-got-a-dirty-one: I'm happy you like it and review every chapter! I think you're on the right track with stepmonster 2.0's identity-or not? ;)

Abby the Bat: You know you can review in German?! I will answer you, ERNSTHAFT ;)
Summery: Stepmonster 2.0
Beca grew up with her mum after her father left them. She lost contact to him a while ago but now he wants to bond again. Why? Well she has to find out, but why does she have to go to Barden, where he's teaching when she wants to have a go at being a DJane in LA? Bonding, with her father and his new family? Now that is something she doesn't want to do, more so since she knows that her stepsister, or how she prefers to call the unknown girl, stepmonster 2.0 is attending Barden as well.
Pairing: Beca/Chloe and Friendship: Chloe/Aubrey and Jesse/Beca
Disclaimer: If I would own Pitch Perfect, there would be Bechloe!

Chapter 5: Predators and Preys
Beca's PoV:
The next day starts pretty early for us Bellas and for that we have to thank our one and only true Aubrey Posen, who made it her goal to get us all out of our beds at 9am and though I know that Jesse and me where most likely the last to leave Aca-Initiation-Night, we sure must be all tired.
By the time I made it back to my dorm the sun was peeking at the sky. I guess I had about three hours of sleep, at least I was so out of it that I didn't think or dream about Chloe.
Her behaviour was strange, I mean, first she is all bubbly and flirting and then just in the blink of an eye she is distant and that is not a character trait that fits her.
Everybody up, aca-bitches! 10am at the practise room, the smaller gym on the east side of Barden. And I mean 10am, sharp! (Aubrey)
Hell, I really have to get up or I won't be on time. Good thing that my dorm isn't on the west side. It should take me a little more than 10 minutes to walk there.

The small gym turns out to be not as small as it looked from the outside. There are multiple rows of seats facing the not so tiny practise space, but Aubrey had put up 2 rows of plastic chairs, facing a whiteboard and some kind of a picture wall.
I was two minutes early but still I was the last to enter, and by the look on head-bitches face, my blonde tyrant thought the same.
Here's the thing, I would never admit it out loud if someone were to ask me, but I love pictures. They fascinate me and sometimes I wish I could take pictures as good as I mix songs. I am an amateur at it though, there are only a few pictures that I am proud of.
I study the picture wall together with Fat Amy and we agree that we don't look like Bellas at all, seeing the ex-Bellas all lined up in front of us. I let my eyes linger on a picture from last year and see Aubrey and Chloe in the back of the picture, their smiles not quite reaching their eyes.
That confuses me, I mean, they are so hyped about a capella, right?
"Okay, take your seats, everyone." It's crazy how we all just do what Aubrey tells us to, hell, she doesn't even look like she is enjoying herself right now. Something seems to be wrong. Chloe hasn't looked at me since I entered and right now she is watching the floor so intently that I fear that there are some gross stains on it.
Suddenly Chloe looks up and her blue orbs linger a second on mine before they follow Aubrey who is walking to an empty chair on the left.
"As you all can see, Kori is not here today. She let herself be trebled last night and had to leave." Aubrey takes the empty chair and moves it to the side.
"Wow, the vow you made us do was real." I don't know if it's a statement or a question, but it leaves my mouth before I can stop myself.
"Of course I was serious, Dixie Chick serious! You can make out with whoever you want, as long as he's not a Treblemaker." She is pacing the room, making us sure we all understand her. Well, I have to say, Aubrey knows how to lead a group.
"That is gonna be hard!" Stacie, a tall brunette that is sitting in the row in front of me says confidently and I can't help myself. I like her, just for challenging my new best frenemy.
"He is a hunter!" She finishes off, making a gesture towards her lower regions.
"Your pussy is a dude?" Hell yeah. Somehow I think this a capella group isn't going to be as boring as I thought.
She doesn't answer, only looks confidently back to Aubrey and how else could it be, head-bitch has still not said enough. She rambles on about how bad the Trebles are, that they take the power from us if we let them penetrate us. Gross, now I have stupid pictures of power sucking guys while...you know what I mean.
Aubreys voice brings me back, well I have to actually thank her for that, and she seems to still has something to announce. I look over to Chloe and see that she is fixed on Aubrey and now I know the reason why. Aubrey is givingMary Elise an intense glare and I can feel the gears turn in my head. Seriously?
Mary Elise starts to squirm under Aubreys intense glare. She even tries to apologise, but Aubrey has none of it. All eyes are on Aubrey as she makes Mary Elise go and the looks follow Mary Elise who has to take even her chair out with her. I am the only one that looks at Chloe, who has gone back to watching the floor.
"Was this really necessary?" I feel like I have to defend that girl, she was crying as she ran out of the gym for god sake.
Aubrey doesn't take any of this and she sounds as she wants to prepare us for a war. Chloe is giving her a strange look and their eyes meet for a moment. The look they share is all the confirmation I need, something happened that led to this vow.
I seem to have zoned out yet again, cause the next thing doesn't fit, or does it? Aubrey is making gagging noises and Chloe is at her side in an instant. She seems concerned but the rest of us is just confused.
Rest of Bellas practise goes over really fast. We learn about Aubreys panic attacks which lead to gagging due to her sensible stomach and share a laugh over what happened at the last ICCA finals, Aubrey puking all over the first rows.
Chloe hands us out the schedules for practise and I hate the fact that we are gonna have to do something for our fitness nearly as much as Fat Amy. The songs we pick from are all older than me from what I can see and I get a bit annoyed by that. Again I don't stand a chance in an argument against Aubrey and I get kinda frustrated.
Seems like Aubrey is the one to "tune" us, making us do all funny sounds with our mouths while Chloe teaches us the choreography. In between we run up and down the stairs of the tribunes and we actually practise to walk in pumps. I nearly fall down and honestly? I can't see myself as a Bella at all.
I watch Chloe trying to help us all with the choreography, we are all so different personalities that I fear we will never make it and this is just the first practise for god sake.
Chloe has a lot to do, especially with Stacie, who can't stop touching her goodies at all. I would laugh at this whole thing, but then I see Stacie bending over and lifting one leg up high. At first I smile as I see Cynthia Rose checking her out without hesitation but Chloe stops right next to her and by the look on her face she likes what she sees a lot.
How am I to compare with a gorgeous, tall brunette that obviously has a thing for sex? I feel jealous and I know that. It's not like I know that feeling very well but I do know it. It's the same feeling I got when I heard that my dad replaced me and my mom with stepmonster and stepmonster 2.0.
This time though I can do something about it. I let myself mix up the choreography and Chloe is there in an instant.
"Well, I thought you were the best in remembering the moves, guess I was too fast to assume." She stands right behind me, so close that I can feel the warmth radiate off her. Her words feel like a bullet through my heart, apparently I had impressed her and now I'm just as bad as the others.
"No, I can do it." I try to save myself from the wrong choice I made a few moments ago. "I mean it, I can do it on my own, I was just a bit unfocused."
"You can let me help you, you know? I won't bite." With that she steps incredibly closer and her arms snake around my torso, her hands grabbing my wrists from behind. She moves my arms through the motions and I can see myself in the mirror in front of us blush, I did it better with her help.
Suddenly the tight grip on my arms vanish and just as I contemplate on doing more mistakes I can feel her hands moving to my hips. She holds on tight to me yet again and my body is flush against hers. I feel myself heating up from the inside as she moves our body along to the choreography, my ass sometimes grinding into her, not that I can help it.
My thoughts start to wander and I can imagine us dancing that close on a party while listening and singing along to Titanium.
