Aubrey was sitting at the edge of one of tallest campus building in Barden, looking for a specific human being she was assigned to.
"Aubrey! What are you doing here? If someone sees you sitting there, they would start getting suspicious!" It was her best friend for years, more like centuries now, Chloe Beale. They're the same and she knows Aubrey more than Aubrey knows herself. The redheaded Angel, yes they are both Angels from up above, tried to pull her away from the edge.
"I just want to see what she's doing, I can feel that she's excited and I wanna see what makes her feel that way!" Aubrey reasoned out. What she's doing is technically wrong because she's risking for people to be suspicious about her.
Angels like them looked exactly like human beings but they have enormous wings at their back. It cannot be seen by a normal human being and only their fellow Angels can see them. Aubrey and Chloe are not the only ones at Barden but they are the only ones from Barden Bellas.
Though if somebody does see her at the edge or the building, it will not only raise suspicion of who she is, it will also raise the suspicion as to why she's in Barden when she's suppose to be at a Law School at Boston and studying law at her last year. Chloe's suppose to be at Boston too studying Medicine.
In every century, they're assigned to one particular human being who's suppose to be their partner in that lifetime. So in Aubrey's case, she already had three partners in her life and all of them are dead now but the current one is studying music at Barden. She already met her but it was only brief because they really don't much have time and reason to talk to one another.
"But do you really have to sit on the edge of the building? Why can't you watch her like what normal people do?" Chloe said but sat beside her best friend.
In their lifetime, they have already become any body that they can be and they frequently change their name ever time they reach the age of seventy five so that nobody would be suspicious. They choose different professions in every lifetime that they are in too.
"We're not like anybody, Chloe. What are you even doing here? Aren't you suppose to be in LA with your alt girl?" Chloe's mate was Beca Mitchell who's starting her music career as a producer. They knew the moment Chloe saw Beca and Aubrey saw how Chloe's eyes bright up that she's the one for the redhead.
"Yeah, but she's busy and I'm bored Bree." Chloe sighed and rolled her eyes. The redhead is always the more energetic one between them, she gets bored easily and the one who always has to do something. "So have you seen her yet?" Chloe chimed and stick her neck out as if trying to find who Aubrey is looking for.
"Yeah, there she is" she simply gestured with tipping her head as if Chloe would find what she's looking for. But since they're not humans, Chloe found who's Aubrey is talking about.
"She has grown from that little innocent Legacy into this hot and wonderful lady, Bree!" Chloe exclaimed and it made her smile and so proud of her legacy. She had three partners now but none of them made Aubrey feel the way Emily Junk has made her feel. Just by the first time they met at the lodge of Fallen leaves where Aubrey briefly worked, she knew Emily would be different.
The process is that they don't know who there next partner would be until they meet them personally and they would feel this deep pull in their hearts and a sudden pain that would run through their veins, very brief yet they know that it's the indication they've met their new mate. They weren't given a heads up if it's a woman or a man, they just instantly feels the signs and that's it. Aubrey has waited for another few decades before she met Emily. She wasn't even expecting it since she has long gone thought that there would be no more, but Aubrey don't make the rules so she really has no say.
When she first laid eyes on then a freshmen Emily Junk, she first felt a strong pull in her heart that made her seek out meeting the eyes of one young Emily. Then when she did meet her eyes, she felt the jolt of electricity ran through her veins. From there Aubrey knew she found her, she found her new mate but another thing happened when she first saw Emily smiled at her, her heart skipped about two to three beats and that never happened before.
She remembered that moment where Emily gave her first sweet and innocent smile at Aubrey. She almost froze at her place at how it melted her heart, but those where pressing times for the blonde, she wasn't able to dwell in celebrating since she has an organization to build again. But Emily hasn't left her mind since then, every time she would have an opportunity to meet the Bellas, her mind would always go to the youngest one.
She's so drawn to her like a magnet she can't get off, but she always has to restrain herself since she's still a minor. She can't also tell her that she's her mate, Emily has to find her and they should go through the process of normal relationships. That is why she kept her distance from the brunette but now that she's almost done in college, Aubrey can't no longer help herself anymore.
"Yeah, isn't she wonderful?" Aubrey said with most soft tone that she only use when she's talking about Emily. The younger brunette just came out of a building, a few blocks away from where Aubrey is and she's genuinely laughing. Aubrey can feel her happiness, that's another thing, they can feel their mate's emotions but they don't know what's running on their mind.
"Yeah she is, I'm so excited for you guys. I feel like Emily would be different this time Bree." Chloe said confidently as they continue to watch her from where they are. But their smiles dropped when they saw who came out next after Emily and probably the reason why she was laughing, Benjamin Applebaum.
"What the f-"
Aubrey quickly stood to go to the couple but Chloe is faster in stopping her. "Bree, you know we can't", they can't cheat their destiny by telling directly their mate who is in a relationship that they're the one who's meant to be. This is the part that Aubrey hates, to see her mate with another person, yes, they might not be the end game but it still hurts for the blonde to not be the reason why Emily is happy, when she's not the one to hold her when she's sad, it hurts her to wait for Emily to finally find her.
Chloe knew what's happening inside her friend's mind because she has seen this scenario multiple times, it has even happened to her a few times. She knows it sucks but they can't do anything about it. She looked back to the couple who's walking side by side towards their direction.
Emily looked happy while talking to Benji, she thought that their relationship wouldn't last and she's surprise that it did. Chloe looked back to her friend who's fuming with anger and jealousy but can't do anything about it. She just held her hand to prevent her from breaking the rules, as if what they're doing now isn't enough to get them in trouble.
No words could ever comfort Aubrey at the moment, the reason that it's not advisable for other Angels to do what they're doing is so that they could save themselves from the pain the Aubrey is experiencing at the moment. The blonde finally looked away, finally regretting what she has done. She shouldn't have come here, but she just longed for the brunette to finally be part of her life and now she would just see her with somebody else.
"Come on, this is a terrible idea anyway." She said with a dejected tone. She turned her back and walked away from the ledge, Chloe stared for a little bit longer with a sad smile to the couple before following her best friend.
But little did they know that Emily knew someone was watching her the moment she step out of the building. She can feel it, she can feel an unexplainable pull in her heart that she only feels whenever a certain blonde is around.
Emily just finished her requirements for graduation when she met Benji at the registrar's office. He just submitted his and was telling about a funny story about his new girlfriend whom she loved so dearly. Their relationship might have been short before but they stayed friends.
They were just outside the building when she felt a sudden weight in her heart, a heavy feeling, like jealousy or something that she can't explain. It was weird, one moment she was very happy and excited because she's finally graduating then this feeling.
She looked around to see what's happening, Benji is still talking but Emily is not listening anymore. She can't be mistaken that the pull she's feeling is because of Aubrey Posen. She felt it the first time she saw here and every time she sees her so she can't be wrong.
Then she looked up to one of the building when she caught a glimpse of blonde on top of the building. It was brief but she was quite sure that it is who she thinks it is. But it can't be because Aubrey is suppose to be at Boston and she's so excited to tell the blonde that she would visit them once school is over.
Emily knew that Aubrey Posen is special the moment she laid eyes on her. She's always excited every time the blonde would come to visit. Her little crush started when she was still a freshman and she thought it would go away. Even if Aubrey is not regularly at the house, Emily always finds herself thinking about the blonde and what she might be doing at that moment.
She finds herself being enamored by the blonde, though in her heart she felt like she has known Aubrey before she just doesn't know how could that happen. She can feel a sense of familiarity and security every time that Aubrey is around and she can't wait to see her again.
She smiled at herself, she could probable wrong but something inside of her tells her that she's right.
"Are you still with me Emily?" Benji who's talking beside her brought her back from her thoughts.
"Huh? Uh yeah. Hamsters?" Emily was just thankful that a quarter part of her is hearing the unending story of her good friend about a hamster named Tupac.
