Beca Mitchell never gave much thought to dying. Of course she knew it was coming, she was a human for Christ sakes. Humans died. But never in a million years did Beca Mitchell think her death would come at age 20, and especially not only at the hands of a werewolf and a vampire. A vampire she happened to be dating.
The death Beca Mitchell expected was, as she said, "titanic-esque". She was meant to die an old woman, warm in her bed. But reality doesn't always work out that way. The death she experienced was far from the falling asleep and white light at the end of the tunnel. The light was certainly there, but so was the feeling of drowning. Blood was blocking her throat and her skin was on fire, new pain blooming from each bite Bumper and his wolves scattered across her skin.
She didn't even register she was screaming until all that came out was a garbled noise blocked by crimson splattering against her chin. She was sure this was the end. She would die at the hands, well, paws, of monsters.
The light at the end of the tunnel didn't seem so bright when her name rang out against the trees.
Chloe.
Beca could find Chloe's voice in a crowd without a problem, but hearing it now… It was the sound of a miracle. Chloe would be there to get those dogs off, hold her until she passed quietly. A profound sense of relief settled over her, she could die happy.
Just as she began to relax, prepared to let death take her away, she felt pain start back up again. Someone was biting into her neck. But the soft lips against her skin helped clue her in to just who was draining her. Faintly the whimpers and sobs of her girlfriend rang into her ears and Beca tried to open her mouth to comfort her before her mouth was suddenly flooded with the distinctly metallic taste of blood.
Before long she felt a warmth start to spread through her even though her heart thudded to a stop.
Beca was at peace. The pain had stopped. Everything had stopped. But even in darkness she began to feel her body change, her muscles grew stronger, her skin colder and Chloe's blood in her system sharpened two of her teeth into razor points designed for the perfect predator. She was a vampire.
The brunette accepted this quickly. Chloe had saved her life, albeit by killing her, but now… She got an eternity with the redhead and the rest of the Bellas. Her train of thought was knocked off the tracks as she felt herself beginning to breathe again. Her lungs slowly filled with air before she exhaled and her eyes began to flutter.
Automatically, Beca sat up. She was met with Chloe's back, the redhead pacing made her smile slightly before she felt two sharp points digging into her lip. Her smile dropped and she brought a hand up to touch them before Chloe's hand was suddenly cupping her face.
"Beca… Oh my god, thank goodness you're alive…" Chloe cut herself off as she saw Beca's puzzled expression and a hand reaching for her fangs. The redhead jumped to explain but Beca's new mind moved a mile a minute. She knew what she was, accepted her fate, so to speak.
"I'm a vampire…" her voice was steady despite it being hoarse from the night before. Chloe just nodded, biting her lip. She opened her mouth to explain but again Beca cut her off. "You changed me." Chloe nodded once more. "Because… Because Bumper tried to kill me." Chloe looked as though she may cry and that confirmed that.
"Beca I'm sorry I never… I never wanted-" Chloe began but Beca cut her off with a needy and desperate kiss on the redhead's lips. "You saved my life." Beca whispered, cupping Chloe's cheeks when she pulled back enough to speak. Chloe just nodded, bright blue eyes shining with happiness at the sight of her lover up and moving.
Beca smiled as well, leaning in to kiss her again before her nose caught the scent of blood. A growl left her throat as the burning sensation of being hungry finally registered. She grabbed the cup Chloe had left on the side table for her and quickly downed it. The older vampire just chuckled and played with a strand of Beca's brunette locks.
"Ah yes, the newborn hunger… I remember what it was like… I should have given you the glass as soon as you woke up." Chloe smiled, unable to help the little giggle that escaped at seeing Beca with blood smeared around her mouth from her first feeding as a vampire. Beca licked her lips before swallowing thickly, glad the burning was soothed for a moment, "I should get used to that shouldn't I?" she asked, watching Chloe as the redhead wiped some blood from the corner of Beca's mouth and bring it to her own lips. The brunette was mesmerized by the sight of Chloe's tongue darting out to lick away the droplet.
Two of the redhead's fingers came to hold Beca's chin and bring the brunette's stormy gray eyes to meet her own. Chloe smiled almost predatorily and Beca took a moment to retract her fangs. Her own tongue ran over the now flat teeth as Chloe pulled her closer.
"You're a beautiful vampire, Beca…" she said. Beca didn't miss the small hint of guilt in the other woman's voice. She brought a hand up to push some hair back from Chloe's face before delicately kissing her lips.
"Thank you for saving my life, Chlo… I… I'm sorry for running out on you the other night." Beca looked down guiltily, remembering the look on Chloe's face as she had dashed out of the bella house and into the sunlight. Chloe silenced her apologies with another kiss.
"Beca, shh… It's okay… I should have handled that better… But now," she tucked a lock of hair behind Beca's ears before planting a gentle kiss to her forehead. "We have forever together."
Beca let herself completely relax, her eyes slipping closed. "Forever…" She whispered, her lips stretching into a dreamy smile. She began to notice her heightened senses. Chloe's fingers lightly drummed against her hand, the bella's moved around the house talking to one another, Cynthia Rose was playing the piano… A car passed on the street outside, children were yelling and laughing down the street, everything was so clear. The scents came next. Chloe smelled like the freshest flowers after the rain, each bella had a scent and the car on the street left a faint scent of gasoline behind.
Chloe seemed to realize that Beca was experiencing her new senses for the first time and she leaned down to press a gentle kiss right below her ear. When she spoke, her voice sounded like bells to the brunette.
"What do you hear?" She asked, tracing shapes on Beca's arms and over the tattoo of the grasshopper that rested on her inner arm.
"I hear Cynthia Rose playing the piano… Stacie's showing Aubrey something in a book… Fat Amy just broke an empty bottle of true blood…" Her fangs popped out at the thought of the synthetic blood and Chloe giggled, the sound branding itself into the part of Beca's brain labeled "Beautiful". Beca opened her eyes and watched Chloe lace her fingers with her own before she looked up at the redhead's face.
"Let's head downstairs, I bet you're starving and the girls will be glad you're awake." Chloe planted a gentle kiss on her cheek and helped her up from the bed. Beca held both of Chloe's hands, feeling like she would be wobbly on her feet after literally dying, but she found that she had never felt more steady in her life. Chloe smiled and moved to lead Beca out of the room, watching her as if she wasn't sure if she was real. Beca smiled a little and gave Chloe's hand a squeeze to help relax her. The redhead's smile only grew as she pulled her down the stairs. Amy and Stacie saw them first and both vampires ran to embrace the small brunette.
"Hey there wolfbait!" Amy cheered while Stacie picked Beca up off the floor and spun her around despite the brunette's protests.
"Nice to see you've joined the world of the dead." Stacie said when she finally set Beca down. The rest of the Bella's converged on them and Beca smiled at her new sisters. Cynthia Rose nudged her way to the front after Jessica and Ashley had released Beca from their embraces.
"Alright, Shorty, let's see 'em!" The dark skinned vampire said. Beca gave her a confused look before Flo piped up from Beca's left.
"The fangs!" she supplied. The brunette smiled a little and opened her mouth, letting the fangs pop out. She barred them playfully and Chloe laughed, pulling the smaller woman into her side.
"Damn! Look at those chompers," Amy said, getting in Beca's personal space to examine them.
"My fangs come from other people." Lily whispered almost silently, but of course all the other vampires heard. Aubrey just gave the woman a nearly concerned look before just shaking her head with a good natured roll of her eyes.
"We're all glad you're okay, Beca." Aubrey said, raising a brow at the slight shocked expression on the brunette's face. "I uh… Thank you, Aubrey… Thank all of you for coming to my rescue."
Beca's senses were flooded with a chorus of the girls telling her not to thank them. Stacie's voice stood out, "We're a family, Tiny. Family protects each other." The girls all chorused their agreements as aubrey led them all into the sitting room. The girls piled onto various couches and chairs and Aubrey stood in front of them.
"Alright, with the addition of Beca to the house I think it's a good idea for us to have a refresher on the rules." She clapped her hands together and the girls groaned.
"Noooo!" Fat Amy whined. Aubrey had her sheriff face on, "First up…"
"Yessss…." Fat Amy corrected in order to avoid Sheriff Posen's wrath, "Killing humans is not allowed within Barden lines, outside of barden you're dealing with a different sheriff who will certainly not be as merciful as me. Unless you catch a human attempting to rape and or murder, killing is prohibited." The blonde listed, pacing back and forth in front of her vampires. Chloe gave Beca an apologetic look and Stacie whispered to her, "Sheriff Posen is hot right?" Beca just chuckled, earning a stern look from Aubrey.
"Second…" She continued, "Do not attack the wolves unless attacked first. I will not have one of you die because you get grumpy. Werewolves travel in packs for a reason, no one goes out alone, two or more of you at all times." Beca frowned a little at this rule.
"Wait, so you're saying if I see Bumper in the street I can't kill that bastard?" She asked with a small growl, feeling a rage start to bubble inside her at the memory of Bumper's claws digging into her skin. Beca expected a glare from Aubrey to be directed at her but instead it was directed right at Chloe. Chloe bit her lip and pulled Beca close to calm her.
"Don't get too worked up, Beca… Rage and vampires don't mix…" Chloe whispered, Beca growled softly but allowed Chloe to calm her. When she met Aubrey's eyes again the blonde cocked a questioning brow as if to ask 'Are you done?'. Beca responded with a nod and the older vampire resumed her pacing.
"As I was saying before I was interrupted…"
That evening when the sun began to rise, Beca climbed into bed with Chloe. Her eyes were drooping and a few droplets of blood came from her nose. The redhead smiled fondly and got a tissue to wipe her progeny's nose before pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Goodnight, Beca…" she whispered, "I love you,"
Beca just smiled sleepily, "Mm… Love you too, Chlo… Forever." she whispered, throwing an arm over Chloe's hips to pull her close. The redhead settled for bed and pressed her nose against the top of Beca's hair, inhaling her scent.
"Forever."
Across town in the historic Treble Music Hall, a chorus of growling and snarling could be heard as the pack split in two. Uni, Bumper and Donald against Jesse, Benji and the rest of the boys.
Bumper snarled, eyes glowing and fangs barred at his pack. "What the fuck are you doing, Swanson? I'm the alpha here. Now you bitches better get back in line or-" He was cut off by Jesse getting in his face.
"Or what? You just got your ass handed to you by a bunch of vampires, Bumper." He growled, snapping at him threateningly. "You. Killed. Beca." he spat each word, an angry and vengeful fire brewing within him. Sure he resented Beca for choosing the vampires over him, but he was protective, and Bumper had taken away any chance he had with her.
Bumper stepped back slightly but started laughing when Jesse mentioned the former human. "What? You're still hung up on that fang banger? Well let me tell you…" he stepped so he was nearly nose to nose with the other man.
"When I sank my teeth into that little bitch… You know who she screamed for? Not. You." He smirked before Jesse growled, shoving Bumper back and preparing to attack him before Donald stepped between them, hand on either wolf's chest.
"Dudes, dudes." Donald said slowly, trying to diffuse the situation. "It's just one girl… Besides, I'm pretty sure that redhead turned her… So like, Bump, she's dead and Jess, you don't want a fanger… So like, it's in the past?" He tried. Jesse looked even more enraged and his features looked distinctly more animalistic.
"Beca… Is a vampire?" he asked slowly, turning to fully look at Donald and Uni who stood to the side of Bumper. Uni shrugged a little. "I mean, I saw that redhead bite her when the big one was trying to break my neck…. But Jess… It's like… Who cares? She's just a fangbanger."
This pushed Jesse over the edge and he roared, tackling Bumper back and snarling right in his face. Bumper yowled and tried to fight back but Jesse's sudden domineering will kept him pinned in place.
"If you or any of your bitches set foot in my pack's territory I swear I will tear you to shreds and leave you for the vampires to drain. Got it?" Bumper nodded a little and scrambled to his feet when Jesse let him up.
"You're gonna regret this, Swanson! I'm the best alpha this pack has ever had!" He said, stepping back with Donald and Bumper. Jesse just growled and looked to the rest of his pack. He nodded and several of them transformed, running the three banished wolves out of town.
When he calmed down some, Jesse took a seat on the old stage that was a centerpiece of the hall. Benji touched his shoulder, always trying to help, "You okay there, Jess?" he asked.
Jesse just nodded a little. "I can't believe he attacked her… I told him I had a claim on her!" Benji sighed a little, "Well I mean… You can't really control Bumper… But you're the alpha now! You could get any girl in town." He supplied, hoping his friend wouldn't stay hung up on the now vampire. Jesse just growled a little, before seeming to stare off into space.
"I need to go see the Bellas."
The following evening, Beca was fully embracing her new life as a vampire. She and Stacie had taken to racing around the sprawling yard, Beca testing her speed and Stacie enjoying the feeling of the crisp air whipping her hair around. Chloe and Aubrey watched from the porch, laughing at Beca trying to get her bearings at such a high speed and Stacie attempting to trip the smaller brunette.
Before long, however, their little game was cut short at the appearance of Lily at Aubrey's side. She said something nearly inaudible and Aubrey growled, calling everyone inside. Beca frowned and ran over to Chloe.
"What's happening?" The brunette asked, grabbing the redhead's hand as Aubrey made her way to the front porch, the rest of the Bella's following. Jesse and his pack were standing outside the gate. None of them looked enthused to be there and a few of them even looked like they wanted to bolt. Aubrey waved a hand to confine the Bellas to the porch and descended the stairs to stop half way down the path to the gate.
Jesse held up his hands as he opened the gate, he gestured for his pack to stay put while he took a few steps towards the blonde. Stacie growled softly, not liking the idea of a werewolf approaching her fiance. Jesse broke the silence first.
"I've come for diplomatic purposes as well as bringing a message."
"Where's your leader? His ego too bruised to come talk to me himself?" She smirked ever so slightly.
Jesse took a deep breath, clenching his jaw before he spoke. "Bumper is gone. I've taken over command as alpha." he explained.
Aubrey narrowed her eyes slightly. "I hope you're not expecting a congratulations." she replied. Jesse shook his head.
"I want to negotiate terms. Your terf is the house and its property, ours is the music hall and the square in front. Everywhere else is no man's land." Jesse said, trying to keep his eyes on Aubrey though his gaze kept jumping to scan the group of vampires for Beca. He finally spotted her tucked under Chloe's arm and resisted the urge to growl. At least she was alive. Even if it was only partially.
Aubrey thought over his terms carefully. "I agree, though if I see Bumper within ten miles of this town I won't hesitate to rip his head off." She said, holding out her hand for the wolf to shake. Jesse chuckled a little and shook the blonde's hand.
"Trust me, we wouldn't stop you." He took his hand back and looked over Aubrey's shoulder at Beca. Beca frowned a little and pressed herself closer to Chloe. The redhead shot Jesse a glare and moved behind the other girls. The wolf sighed and turned the leave, he waved a hand and he and his pack disappeared down the street.
The blonde led the others inside and called for a meeting to explain all that went on. Chloe pulled Beca into the kitchen and cupped her cheek.
"Are you alright?" she asked, tucking some hair behind the smaller woman's cheek. Beca nodded a little and tucked her face into the crook of Chloe's neck. "It was… It was just hard to see them again. I started thinking of that night and I-" Chloe cut her off with a gentle kiss.
"Hey. Beca. I will never let any of them hurt you. I promise you, forever, remember?" Chloe asked, letting a smile bloom onto her face. Beca couldn't help the way her own lips curved up at the corners. To Beca, Chloe was her own personal sunshine that lit up even the darkest night with just a look. The thought of having this beautiful creature by her side for the rest of eternity made Beca feel like her heart almost started beating again. She leaned up and kissed Chloe like her life depended on it, hands gripping Chloe's shirt as if she was clinging for her life.
When they broke apart, Chloe's icy blue eyes were blown wide with lust and she blinked a few times before grabbing Beca by the arm and hauling her up to their room in a flash. The door slammed and Chloe had Beca pinned to it with their lips crushed against each others.
Downstairs, Fat Amy chuckled and looked around. "So… Who's going to buy the earplugs?"
Back upstairs, Beca was pinned to the mattress with Chloe sat astride her hips. The brunette moaned and quickly reached up to rid Chloe of her shirt before flipping them. The redhead giggled at Beca's newfound strength and simply grabbed the collar of the brunette's shirt and tore it clean off. Not having to hold back her strength was definitely a turn on for Chloe.
"You're so fucking gorgeous," Beca growled out, quickly shimmying down the bed to drag Chloe's jeans down her long legs. The other woman watched with a small grin, sending her panties down her legs and kicking them off as Beca crawled back up her body. "Have you looked in a mirror?" The redhead asked, pulling Beca's bra off and moving her mouth across the smaller woman's breasts.
Beca's moans sounded like the most incredible symphony to Chloe, each sigh and whimper like a new instrument added to the orchestra that made up Beca. Chloe felt like a conductor. A touch here, a kiss there… A gentle nip to her neck, each one created a beautiful sound that Chloe could listen to for the rest of her life.
Beca wiggled out of her own pants and panties before ridding Chloe of her bra. Beca's hands quickly roamed over the older vampire's body before she tangled a hand in fiery curls to drag Chloe into a kiss that was downright filthy. Beca nipped at her lip and was greeted with the feeling of Chloe's tongue tracing over her lip.
"You're so sexy when you're on top…" Chloe breathed out, gripping Beca's hips. "But, I want to make you scream." she growled out before flipping them again. The brunette let out a long moan as Chloe's lips blazed a slow and torturous trail down her chest and over her stomach. Small love bites and bruises were left in her wake and Beca couldn't help the way her legs fell open to invite the redhead's kisses where she needed them most.
Chloe knew exactly what she wanted though she refused to give in right away. Her mouth moved over the insides of Beca's thighs before her fangs popped out and she bit down, drinking for a moment before pulling back and licking over the two small puncture wounds left on the pale flesh of Beca's thigh. The brunette above her was already panting, desperate for the release Chloe's talented mouth and tongue would bring.
"Chlo. Baby, please… Don't tease me," Beca begged. Her voice had dropped down an octave and the gravelly tone of her lover's begging worked like a rope around her neck to drag Chloe right between her legs. The first touch of Chloe's tongue made Beca jerk and let out a small squeak that she would deny later, but as the redhead found a rhythm, Beca's moans got louder and louder. Eventually she muffled herself in a pillow as her free hand gripped Chloe's hair, a telltale sign that she was desperately close to the edge. Chloe licked at her harder, wrapping her lips around Beca's clit and sucking until she felt Beca tense up and her thighs nearly close around her head.
When Chloe was finally released she took her time kissing back up Beca's body, leaving hickeys and love bites in her wake. When her lips met Beca's again, Chloe nipped her with a small giggle. "You taste delicious, baby…" she purred, kissing down over Beca's jaw before she was flipped onto her back. The brunette moved a hand down her body, fingers finding their way to Chloe's clit and starting to rub in slow circles.
"Mm… God you look so pretty like this," Beca purred, her lips finding their way to Chloe's neck. She kissed over her pulse point and Beca's fangs popped out. She groaned, kissing again as she moved two fingers into the redhead, rocking them at a quick pace that made Chloe keen.
"Oh god Beca…" she whined, rocking her hips desperately. The brunette just smiled and nipped over Chloe's neck, moaning when her fangs brought a few droplets of blood to the surface. Her tongue moved over the skin to wipe away the crimson just as her thumb made contact with Chloe's clit.
"Oh fuck! Bite me!" Chloe yelped, her hand gripping Beca's wrist while the other moved to tangle a hand in the brunette's hair to drag her down to her neck. Beca didn't need to be told twice as she sank her fangs in, drinking as she rocked her fingers faster.
Pure ecstasy burst behind Chloe's eyelids, she cried out as she reached her climax, body tensing around Beca's fingers before she came down. Her body slumped in Beca's grip as the brunette retracted her fangs and licked away any remaining blood as she slowly pulled her hand away and brought her fingers up to her mouth to lick away.
Both women lay panting together and Chloe pressed her forehead to Becas.
"I love you." she whispered, kissing her gently.
Beca returned the kiss and cupped her cheek. "I love you too. Forever." she promised, lacing her fingers with Chloe's.
Chloe just smiled and let her eyes fall closed before whispering against Beca's lips.
"Forever."
