Where The Blood Lies

Chapter 14: The Meeting

"Are you hungry Beca?" Zara asked her as she stood there looking at the blood on Zara's mouth. Zara licked her lips as she saw Beca's veins start to form on her face, her eyes jet black. "Just a little taste will drive you wild my handsome prince." Zara said seductively, as she got her own lips closer to Beca's unmoving ones. Just as their lips were about to touch Beca glared at her angrily and pushed her away roughly.

Beca woke with a start, her eyes jet black with lust. "You should really tell that pet of yours to lock the front door before he leaves." Zara said as she came out of Beca's bathroom wearing one of Beca's rock t shirts and her boxers. Beca glared at her as Zara nonchalantly laid down next to her, with a shit eating grin on her face. "Maybe you should learn to knock, and ask before you decide to borrow peoples clothes." Zara looked at her with a mischievous smile on her face as she tried to lay down on Beca's chest. Beca rolled her eyes as she got up quickly to put some pants on, making Zara fall flat on the bed after her. "Well that was uncalled for." Beca sighed heavily as she was already annoyed to be babysitting the royal brat again. Beca opened her closet roughly to put on a simple black t shirt. "Put your clothes back on and meet me downstairs, so we can get this stupid plan over with." Beca said in annoyance, as she walked downstairs to use Jesse's bathroom.

Zara came down still in Beca's clothes as she opened Beca's fridge making her own cup of blood. "I still don't understand why you drink this filth, it's so much better from the vein." Beca drank her own warm blood from her mug as she swallowed it down. "The council wants to meet with you, so I suggest you act as a princess for once and do as you're told." Zara huffed as she sat down at Beca's kitchen table. "Oh please, you're starting to sound like my mother." Beca swallowed down the last bits of her warm blood as she put her mug into the sink. "Look all you have to do is nod and agree with what they're saying. It's not that hard, okay?" Zara rolled her eyes once more but nodded nonetheless. "Fine but I'm not doing it because my mother wants me too. I'm doing it because you want me too." Zara said as she used her vampire speed to stand in front of Beca closely. "You do want me to do this, don't you Beca?" Zara smiled as Beca didn't move away from her this time. "You've always known how to make me bend over backwards for you." Zara said with a smirk on her face. Zara licked her lips as she locked her eyes onto Beca's own. "I have to go to work, and I expect you to be out of here by the time I get back. You know where to go tonight, be there and do what you need to do. I'll meet you there." Beca left without another word leaving a pouting Zara behind her.

"Chloe are you even listening to me?" Aubrey asked Chloe as she was too busy making eye contact with Beca. Beca smiled at her knowingly as Chloe smiled back at her with loving eyes. Aubrey nudged Chloe hard making her almost drop her stethoscope in her hands. "Aubrey what the heck?!" Aubrey groaned in frustration as she snatched the stethoscope from Chloe's hands. "Honestly Chloe, how do you expect us to pass our final exam when you can't stop making googly eyes at Beca every five seconds." Chloe's cheeks reddened in embarrassment as she looked at Aubrey cheekily. "I'm sorry Aubs, it's just that she looks really cute today." Chloe said as she quickly glanced at a smiling Beca. Chloe knew she heard her, by the way she was smiling while checking a patient's blood pressure. "Ok Chloe I understand she's cute, now can you please focus and help me check if we have all of our equipment for tomorrow." Aubrey said pleadingly as she searched both of their duffle bags. Chloe nodded as she helped Aubrey set their equipment in the right order. "Don't worry Aubrey, we are totes gonna ace our tests tommrow." Aubrey nodded as she sighed heavily. "I hope so, if not I'm gonna have to use my other degree and become a foot doctor." Chloe chuckled while Aubrey half heartedly glared at her.

"Did you remember to trace the meat around the woods for tonight?" Beca asked Jesse as she watched him scarf down a whole bowl of oatmeal. He nodded while he swallowed the bit of chewed food in his mouth. "Yes Becs, don't worry about me. Just worry about your sexy vampire princess for tonight." Jesse said playfully as he winked at Beca with a knowing smile. Beca rolled her eyes immediately with a groan of annoyance. "Ugh, please don't remind me. Oh and by the way, can you please remember to lock our front door when you leave?" Beca asked him with a glare. Jesse smiled at her cheekily, with guilt in his eyes. "Sorry Becs, I was in a rush this morning." Beca sighed as she sipped her daily dose of warm blood in her coffee thermal. "Yea well the princess as you so call her, paid me a visit this morning." Jesse grimaced with apologetic eyes. "Aw man I'm really sorry Becs. I promise to remember tomorrow." Beca chuckled light heartedly as he continued to consume his whole bowl of oatmeal that was in front of him. Jesse always gets like this when the full moon hits. All his sudden mood swings and diet habits come out to play. "Hey Jess?" Jesse hummed as he came up for air. "Benji is staring and I think he's a little impressed." Jesse's face packed as he turned slowly to look at a smiling but gaping Benji staring right at him. Benji waved at him excitedly as Jesse swallowed his last bite of oatmeal. Jesse smiled at him nervously and wiped his mouth with his sleeve quickly. Beca tried to cover her laughter but loud chuckles came out, making Jesse glare at her in embarrassment. "Beca we have a little problem." Beca tensed at the voice as she saw Zara clear as day sit next to them. Jesse's eyes widened as he too tensed up. "What the fuck are you doing here?!" Beca heatedly whispered towards her, as she eyed everyone cautiously around her. Zara looked at her with worry but her face changed when she saw Jesse beside her. "Oh hello Scooby Doo, catch any cats lately?" Zara asked him with a humorous grin. Jesse frowned confusedly as Beca stood up and pulled Zara up with her roughly, pulling her to the exit of the cafeteria. "I'm getting real tired of your shit Zara, once again what the fuck are you doing here?!" Beca screamed at her as she pushed her up against the wall roughly. "Fuck Beca! I wouldn't have come back here if it wasn't something serious!" Zara yelled back at her as she pushed Beca off of her, making Beca stomp backwards to catch herself from falling. "What do you mean something serious? What happened?" Zara bit her lip nervously. "I was in a meeting with one of the half breeds and they told me that Luke is almost in charge of the council." Beca's face dropped in shock. "What?! What do you mean he's almost apart of it?!" Beca tried to whisper but it came off as more of a shout. Zara shook her head in surprise. "I don't know Beca! All he said was that his master Luke is so close to taking over the council. It's only gonna take a matter of days. Mother is not going to be happy over this news. She didn't even like Luke to begin with, and now she's gonna find out that he's been kissing their asses for the last decade since she's been in New York!" Zara was completely freaking out by now and Beca had to hold herself together not to find Luke and completely rip him apart with her bare hands. "Calm down! Now listen, we are gonna meet with the council and see what's going on. Then after that I'm gonna find Luke and rip him to shreds." Beca hissed with a snarl as she walked away from a gaping Zara.
