Time lapse after the riff off

I sigh sitting by Lilly as everyone screams at each other throwing insults before turning onme "Why do you keep flirting with her Beca, and Legacy why did you sing an original songthat's not how this works" Chloe yells causing everyone to stare at me.

"I don't know she's hot, she makes me nervous" I huff out glancing at Emily seeing she looksready to cry, I turn glancing at Lilly who nods and seems to move unnoticed to her, placingher hand on her back in comfort Emily looks back at her giving a small smile in thanks.

"Are you Aca-serious you have a toner for the enemy Beca?" I groan at that knowing she'sgoing to explode and be petty.

"I don't believe Beca can be trusted not to sabotage our chances to win worlds, as co caption Iwill take over fully and Beca you need to leave," Chloe says crossing her arms looking downat me "Legacy you will leave as well," she says glaring at her.

I scoff getting up and spot Lilly sneaking upstairs, I take Emily's hand pulling her with mebefore she cries "Fine Aubrey we will leave, better to get away from this drama and petty bullshit anyways" I call back.

"Go pack, you can stay with us," I say as Lilly comes in with her stuff Emily nods rushing topack, I quickly get my stuff waiting for Emily who joins me holding her head high after I tap

her chin mouthing head high no shame.

Walking out the door I slam it hearing a crack ring out from it before Lilly pops up "I leftgifts".

I nod leading us away "What was it?"

"16 skunks".

I frown looking at her "Where did you- never mind don't answer that" I say deciding I reallydon't want to know.

Walking to the house Lilly said was the prides I frown smelling cinnamon "Wolves" Lillywhispered.

I nod pulling Emily between us and head inside "Feisty mouse" I shiver hearing the wolf'svoice in my head.

Getting Emily inside I glare into the yard seeing them in the shadows watching "Not in themood tonight go away please" I turn going back inside.

Sitting down I see Lilly comforting Emily "Ems how would you feel about joining us in avery exclusive group?"

"Like The Bellas? You seen how that turned out for me," she says sniffing.

"Something different we would never abandon you or hurt like that, we would be a sort offamily that The Bellas could never be," Lilly says not blinking.

She sniffs nodding "I'd like a family I know won't leave me or hurt me".

I nod getting up turning her to face Lilly before I bite her instinctively knowing how tochange her when she passes out I catch her, following Lilly to the cave where we place her

down Lilly and I both strip shifting after placing our clothes down.

I nod my head to Emily and move to the opening of the cave to keep guard, Lilly and I taketurns guarding threw the night.

When the sun comes up Emily groans waking up I quickly shift re-dressing to meet her whileLilly stays in cat form, I walk up helping her up and leading her outside after grabbing Lilly'sclothes.

I lead her to the water sitting down and let her watch Lilly shift, sitting back I allow Lilly toexplain it to her.

Time lapse few days

Lilly and Emily ran off to allow her to adjust to her shifter side better I chuckle rememberingwhen we all shifted together to bond Lilly was a sleek black perfectly built panther, Emilywas all legs awkwardly stumbling with tan fur around her ears, and I was shorter and smaller

with slightly thicker fur that curled at the ends looking strangely unkempt.

Walking into the store I start buying food for us "Tiny mouse" I keep moving ignoring theGerman singer.

She comes up beside me grabs my cart and stops me "Tiny mouse so much food for a tinything" she says looking at my cart chuckling.

"Shut up you perfect angel" I groan coving my face.

"You live with the shifters I need to meet with the leader," she says smirking at me.

"Why?" I whine.

"It is customary when in another's territory to meet and come to an agreement so we can alllive peacefully" she states.

I huff smacking my head on the wall gently "Fine what works best?" she frowns looking atme before her eyes light up seeming to figure something out.

"I believe a dinner my pack and that pack, we feast after a successful agreement is made if anagreement is not reached we can either fight or make another meeting to try again".

I sigh "I will tell the pride when I get home, come to dinner at six pm".

I quickly rush away proud I managed not to embarrass myself more, but I slip fallingbackward hearing her chuckle I jump up rushing away.
