Beca was screaming in agony as she felt her flesh rip and her bones pop out of place for the last hour. The hybrid was chained to a wall with silver around her ankles and wrists as she struggled against them vigorously. Jake watched with pity as Zara stood next to him outside of the two way mirrored room. "I don't think she's getting used to the change any time soon. Every full moon she just gets worse." Jake pointed out as Zara huffed under her breath. "She's coming to terms with what she has now become, doesn't mean she's gotten used to the pain that comes along with it. She will get better and control herself more than our own species will ever learn too." Their conversation ended short once Beca let out this powerful roar, making them both look towards her in shock. "One thing is for sure, she's getting stronger and stronger each turn. What happens when she finally does lose control and rips you to shreds?" Jake said with a smile at the pleasant thought. Zara rolled her eyes at her incompetent help as she grabbed two blood bags and entered the room. As soon as Zara entered Beca's animalistic yellow eyes turned on her and she let out a deep growl. Charging towards Zara over and over again, but the chains stopped her each time at the rough pull. "Beca I know you can hear me in that hybrid brain of yours, so listen up. You can control yourself at every full moon, it just takes a little bit of practice. Then, eventually you can change on your own without your bones breaking. You'll be in full control of yourself." Beca's chest heaved as the silver burned her wrists and ankles to a crisp. Zara had to admit she was a bit afraid of what Beca might do to her every time she came in to have their little chats. She was still determined to get her lover under control, no matter how long it took. Jake watched as he saw Zara pick up a blood bag, making Beca thrash away from the wall even more in anticipation. Her blood lust grew more and more each full moon. Jake's eyes widened as Zara decided it was time to get in close contact with Beca for the first time. "Zara what are you doing?!" Jake was prepared to get inside the room before the princess herself stopped him from entering. "If you enter this room she really will tear me to shreds. Just watch..." Jake grew nervous as Zara stepped closer to an angry Beca, her sharp teeth baring menacingly as the blonde put her hand against her chest finally. "You will get blood when you decide it's time to calm down." Beca kept thrashing around as Zara huffed in frustration as the brunette went to bite at her. Zara gasped as she quickly retreated towards the other side of the room as Beca roared once more. "Well I think it's time to hit the old books once more, don't you agree princess?" The blonde nodded with disappointment as she left Beca in the room by herself to roar as loudly as she could, her flesh burning with each tug of the silver chains.

Zara threw a book roughly at the wall behind where Jake was sitting making him chuckle as the blonde grew even more frustrated. "I just don't understand it! I've been doing every thing these stupid old books have been telling me to do and yet nothing! Beca is still turning uncontrollably and every day she has to be chained down like a common dog because she wants to tear us apart. What am I doing wrong?" Jake set down the book he was currently reading to assess his disheveled princess. "Well maybe you aren't a certain little red headed human she so desires. It could also be these books aren't the key to everything that's happening to Beca. Isn't there witches old enough to help you with matters like this?" Zara glared at him even mentioning that harlot Beca is currently obsessed with. On the other hand she hadn't thought about asking witches for help. She thought she could do it herself, but I guess this proves that she doesn't have the willpower or the knowledge to do so. "Well for being a lap dog you do have a good point. I could ask around without being suspicious to mother. It would take a couple of days, could you handle Beca by yourself? If I decide to leave that is. Most witches do love to be surrounded by their roots." Jake threw a fake smile on his face as he nodded at Zara. "I can handle my maker, just be quick princess."


Beca groaned as she opened her eyes still chained by the silver on the wall. "So, how did it feel this time around?" Jake asked Beca with a soft smile as he entered the metal room. "Well I don't really remember that much, expect my fucking body is killing me. Where's Zara?" Jake chuckled softly as he unchained Beca, the brunette hissing at the slight pain as she fell to the floor gently. "She went to New Orleans. We thought it would be best if she went to the head of the coven witches. They could help figure out what's happening to you more than we can at the moment." Beca groaned as she stood up slowly, reaching over to grab some of her clothes that she thankfully took off before the change. "Well, where are these so called witches?" Jake shrugged his shoulders as Zara didn't really tell him much, but from what he learned about witches on his own time, they tend to hover near New Orleans. "The princess didn't tell me where she was going, but I have a good idea it might be in New Orleans. Anyways, how thirsty are you right now?" Beca nodded as she let out a sigh of worry. "I could eat a whole village or two if I wanted. I don't know why, but every change my blood lust grows stronger and this time I don't think I'll be able to control it. Whatever Zara finds out she needs to find it quickly before I snap your neck and find the nearest city to rip apart." Jake looked at Beca worriedly as her eyes turned bright yellow at the thought. "Well how about I take you to your very secured metal room and I'll find some dinner choices for you." Beca swallowed hard as she eventually nodded, having Jake escort her to a room Zara built just for her. Beca knows Zara is just doing this for her because she still thinks Beca will grow to love her afterward, but in all honesty there is not a day that goes by that she doesn't think about Chloe.

"What good are you witches if you can't even find what I need?" Zara shouted at them as the witches coward in fear. "Princess, with all due respect this is going to take time and without your mother's permission it makes it even harder for us to get the materials we need." The blonde rolled her eyes as she grabbed one of the witches by her neck as the others gasped loudly. "I can get you what you need without my mother's permission. All you have to do is tell me what you need." The witch nodded as Zara let her fall to the ground without much care. After the witch caught her breath she let out a hoarse response. "We will need her blood for starters, but either than that we can give you a list of books we need and materials. Be warned princess, by the end of this there will have to be a sacrifice to get your loved one back in control of herself." Zara nodded as she took out her phone to call Jake. Jake felt his phone vibrate as she watched Beca tear through numerous amounts of blood bags before him. He answered immediately once he saw it was Zara calling him. "Yes princess?" Zara threw open the cavern door as she marched the streets of New Orleans. "I have a bit of a problem, the witches need more time and before you even ask I have no idea how much they need. What I can get for them is a vial of Beca's blood, which you can send right on over. After that I'll be on my way back to her. How is my love anyways?" Jake rolled his eyes as Beca was covered in blood, searching the ground for more, but when she came up empty she let out a loud roar. "She's doing...okay to say the least. I don't know how long I can keep supplying her blood bags before she wants the real thing princess." Zara huffed as she entered another witch territory to find them in shock at her presence. "I told you to give her anything she wants. Find some humans and let her have her way with them. Just make sure you clean up after her, I have to go now. Give all my love to Beca." Jake was about to argue, but Zara beat him to it by ending the phone call all together.

Beca thrashed around the room as her head ached in severe pain and her body continued to boil in need. She needed more blood and she needed it now. Beca's ears perked as she heard the metal door open and the brunette turned around quickly. "Hi Beca, I'm Kim." There was no fear in this blonde woman's eyes as Beca's own eyes turned yellow on their own accord. "Why aren't you scared of me?" The blonde smiled at her as she spoke calmly. "I was told not to be." Beca shook her head as she looked through the two way mirror as she assumed Jake was on the other side of. "Where are my blood bag Jake?! I will not feed on humans I have told you this!" When no answer came from the speaker, Beca decided to keep space between herself and the woman. Of course she was wearing a nursing outfit, which immediately reminded her of Chloe. "Will you feed on me now?" Beca scoffed as she shook her head in defiance. "No, I will not." Kim looked at her curiously as she slowly unbuttoned her blouse in front of Beca. "Why? Jake said you needed help and I'm willing to help you." Beca's eyes immediately trained onto the woman's breasts as she felt her self control lack at the sight. "Listen to me, you need to get out of here right now, because if you don't I am going to kill you." The woman smiled at her softly as she approached Beca slowly. "You can feed on me Beca, I promise you I won't feel anything." All Beca could do was roar at the woman in protest as she fled to the other side of the small room. Kim stopped suddenly which made Beca look at her weirdly. "W-Where am I? Who are you?! Why are you covered in blood?! Please, please, don't hurt me." Kim looked around frantically as she finally found the door behind her and slammed her fists against the metal door in panic. "let me out! Please, I won't tell anyone, just please let me out!" The woman's pleas fell silent to her ears as soon as she heard the blonde's blood pump in fear. Beca growled in hunger as she tore into the woman's throat. The woman let out a screeching scream as Beca drunk her until there was nothing left. Her body eventually fell limp inside of Beca's hold as the brunette let her body fall to the floor. There was a moment of clarity as she stared at the dead woman's corpse. Beca let out a soft gasp as she wiped her mouth off of the woman's still warm blood off of her lips. "What have I done?" Just then Beca fell to the floor in defeat. Her blood lust got the best of her and she let it happen. She is a monster...
