Where The Blood Lies

Chapter 18: I'm Alive

Beca woke up with some pain, but nothing she couldn't handle. She got up with a groan and heading to her bathroom. Beca lifted up her shirt to find all of her wounds finally healed, except for one, which is only halfway healed. Beca put her shirt down in a huff as she headed downstairs to the refrigerator, to see she only had one blood bag left. Beca sighed as she made her morning warm coffee. "Woah Becs, you look deader than usual. You okay?" Jesse asked her concernedly as he started to make himself breakfast. Beca shrugged as she chugged down the rest of her stash of hospital blood. "I'm better than I'll ever be I guess. I'm gonna head out, don't wait up." Beca still felt hungry, but she can always get blood later. Jesse looked after her concerned as he followed her to the door. "What? Becs you're still hurt you can't-" Beca shrugged her jacket on as she opened the door to leave. "Jess I'll be fine, I just need to go for a walk okay?" Jess sighed heavily, nodding at her hesitantly. Beca smiled at him softly as she finally left the vacant house. Beca sighed as she walked to the one place she knew Luke was going to be at. Ever since they reunited Beca could feel his presence, egging her on to come and find him. She wanted to rip him to shreds and she knew she couldn't do it in the condition she was currently in. Which is why she's going to play nice until she gets her chance. "Over here hottie!" Beca's jaw clenched at the sound of Cheryl's annoying voice. Beca turned her head to see Cheryl smiling at her with her elongated teeth with no shame. "Hurry up now, you're making me miss my nightly snack, and trust me when I say I will get cranky when I don't get what I want." Beca rolled her eyes at Cheryl's obvious double meaning to that sentence towards her. "Where is he Cheryl?" Beca tried to keep the anger out of her tone, but who is she kidding? Cheryl chuckled at her lowly as she ushered Beca into a back door leading to a lit warehouse. "What is it with you two and warehouses?" Beca asked with a roll of her eyes again as she walked side by side with Cheryl. "Oh look who finally decides to grace her sire with thy presence. I didn't hurt you that bad now did I Becky? You always did like to over dramatize things." Beca stopped in front of him to see two half naked woman tied up in front of them. Beca looked at them emotionlessly as they looked up at her in fear and pleading eyes. "Well lets get the pleasantries over with shall we? I know you like to have relations with humans Beca, but now that we've come to an agreement, I thought what was the harm in having a nice refreshing truce toast together? Obviously you can have the first pick, you were never shy in that department." Luke told her with a cheshire smile, making Beca feel sick to her stomach. "I'll pass Luke." Luke's smile dropped into a confused frown. "Come now Beca, I know you're still injured from what I did to you, I can smell your seeping would from here. You should realize now that me hurting you and your precious human was for a reason. That reason was us. Father and daughter, we ruled the centuries together! Bloodshed was all we knew, bodies grew under your own hands! I just don't understand why you're so hesitant now?" Beca remained silent as she stared at him emotionlessly. Luke sighed as he approached Beca slowly. "Don't tell me you don't miss it my child. You were so happy...happy to be free of what society told us who we were. What humans told us who we were." Beca chose to remain silent as she stared at him in disobedience. Luke growled in anger as he stepped towards one of the women, who cowered fearfully because of him. Luke grabbed her face which caused her to whimper loudly. Luke smiled at her widely as his eyes turned black, looking into the frightful human's eyes. "Don't you want her to feel better? She's in pain. Ask her to feed from you." The woman sighed as her body relaxed and she turned towards Beca robotically. "Please feed from me, I want to make you feel better." The other woman beside her sobbed as she tried to get out of the rustic chair with frantic need. Cheryl smiled as she used her speed to keep her in place. "Let them go Luke, you've clearly had your fun. Compel them to leave or I will." Beca said with a hoarse growl, making Luke sigh with impatience. "What is wrong with you?! Ever since that stupid boy you sired left you and made you turn your emotions back on, you've been nothing but a pain in my ass!" Beca growled loudly in anger as her eyes turned black and she charged towards Luke in a vengeance. Luke caught her in his arms and putting her into a headlock easily. Beca growled loudly as she trashed around, but due to no success. She was so weak from all of the blood loss during her sleep, she couldn't fight him off. "Stop it! I'm done with this nonsense Beca! I need my ravenous ripper back and since you won't come back willingly, I guess I'll have to do everything myself now won't I?" He nodded towards Chery who let go of the other still struggling girl to come up behind the one in front of Luke and Beca. "Don't worry Beca, she won't feel a thing now." Beca's breath grew harsh as Cheryl pulled out a knife from her jacket pocket and sliced the poor woman's throat open easily. Blood spilled all over her own neck, as she gargled to breath properly. "Look at all that blood Beca, doesn't it smell so enticing? One little taste won't hurt you, I promise my child." Beca struggled in his grasp as veins grew underneath her eyes and her mouth salivated with hunger. "No matter how many innocent lives you take, I will never submit to you willingly!" Luke growled in anger as he pushed a weak Beca to the ground. "You will do what I say! Drink her now or I will find your human again. I will kill all that she loves and I will make you watch as I turn her into my own! She will blame you Beca. She will blame you for what she will become! Now drink!" Beca whimpered as he kicked her towards the lifeless woman in front of them. Beca sat there making no move to sink her teeth into the woman. "I won't!" Luke growled in anger once more as he turned Beca around to face him. He made Beca look into his eyes as he was forced to use compulsion on his only true child. "Turn it off Beca. Turn your emotions off now." Beca looked at him blankly for a few seconds until she turned around with a look of hunger at the lifeless woman. Beca felt instant relief of her hunger as she dug her teeth into the woman's oozing neck. Beca sighed out with a moan of pleasure as she sucked the woman for all that she's worth. Luke smiled at her in victory as Cheryl held his hand. Luke looked towards the other woman, seeing as she finally got free of her restraints and sobbed in relief. She looked up at him in fear as she realized he had caught her trying to escape. She quickly took off the rope and headed for the exit behind them. Luke made no advancement towards the woman, but Cheryl had other plans. Luke stopped Cheryl dead in her tracks making her look at him in confusion. "Beca? Your dinner is making a run for it." Beca let go of the woman's neck she was currently feeding on with a harsh breath. Blood ran down her face as she quickly turned around with an animalistic snarl, looking straight towards the running woman. Luke smiled at his creation as she used her speed to stand in front of the woman right before she made it to the door. The other woman cried out hysterically as Beca stared at her with a manic smile. "Please don't! Please! I-I!" Luke chuckled as the woman begged for her life. "Oh you poor soul, she can't hear you anymore." Right then Beca charged towards the woman and sunk her teeth in, tearing the girl's neck apart with her sharp canines. The woman screamed loudly as Beca growled into her neck, drinking her until her heart stopped beating all together. Beca dropped the lifeless woman on the ground without another care in the world, looking at Cheryl and Luke with a satisfied smile. "I want more..."

"Beca it's been a few days now and you're making me worried. I know you used to do this when it was just me and you, but you have Chloe now-" Jesse was interrupted as Chloe herself bursted through the door. He hung up the phone and looked at Chloe in desperation. "Was she at work?" Chloe sighed in worry as she shook her head at him. "She's still not answering? Oh god Jesse, what if Luke got to her? How could you let her go by herself when you know she was weak?!" Chloe screamed at him with a sob as Jesse looked down in shame. "I'm sorry Chloe I thought-" Chloe's loud ringtone interrupted them both as she dug her phone out of her pocket quickly. "Hello? Aubrey? Yes I'm at Beca's-what? What do you mean she's there?! I'm sorry for yelling but-never mind I'm coming back to the hospital." Jesse and Chloe both ran towards the door and headed to the hospital together.

"So your girlfriend decides to go MIA for a couple of days and then she acts like nothing happens? Chloe I'm sorry to say this but you seriously need to find better people to date." Aubrey said as she tried to keep up with the pace Chloe was currently walking at. Chloe paid her comments no mind as she went to the location Aubrey told her she was at. "Aubrey, I need to speak with my girlfriend alone so please stop following me." Aubrey huffed as she rolled her eyes at her best friend and turned around to continue her shift. "Don't say I didn't warn you from the beginning Beale." Chloe bursted into the cancer ward as she got a few weird looks from the other nurses there. Chloe saw Miss Rose at the front desk and she immediately walked towards her. "Miss rose? Have you seen Beca?" Chloe asked her desperately. Miss Rose looked at her weirdly as she pointed towards the room Beca was currently in. "She's doing a routine checkup on Mr. Winsome, but I'm sure she wouldn't mind a little company from a sweaty redhead." Chloe thanked profusely her as she swung open the door. Chloe sighed in relief as she saw Beca in front of her. "Oh thank god Beca, you didn't answer any of my calls and I got so worried. Jesse told me you left two days ago on a walk and I thought Luke got to you..." Chloe's rambling drifted off as she finally looked down to see what Beca was doing. Beca's hands were covered in fresh blood, making her stomach drop in fear. "Beca? What are you doing?" Beca still didn't answer her as she went over to the sink and washed her hands off nonchalantly. Chloe felt her heart beat speed up in fear. "Beca please answer me, you're starting to scare me." Beca turned off the water and dried her hands, her back still facing Chloe. "I've never realized how delicious you smell until right now. You know, I've always thought of ripping your throat out every time I saw you. Now I finally get the chance." Beca turned around, making Chloe gasp as Beca had blood around her mouth. "Beca, no!" Beca smiled evilly as her eyes were black and her teeth sharp as a razor blade. Chloe tried to make a run for the door, but Beca beat her to it. Beca cocked her head to the side at Chloe with a pout as Chloe backed up into the room in fear. "Aww what's wrong Chloe? Do I not look cute to you anymore?" Chloe shook her head in fear as she tried to get as much space between her and Beca as possible. "Beca stop, this isn't you, this isn't-" Beca growled in anger as she used her speed and strength to knock Chloe into the wall harshly. Chloe groaned in pain as Beca sniffed her neck with a moan. "I've always been like this Chloe...I've just never shown you who I really am." Beca licked Chloe's neck, making Chloe shudder fearfully. Beca pulled back to look into Chloe's bright blue tearful eyes, smiling at her sinisterly. All of a sudden they heard a loud knock on the door, making Beca let go of her instantly. "Beca? Chloe? What's going on?" Chloe dropped to the floor in pain as Jessie looked at them in shock. "Beca what the fu-!" Before Jesse could finish his sentence Beca used her speed one last time to crack Jesse's neck, making his body fall to the floor instantly. Chloe tried to scream but nothing came out as Beca left without saying anything else.
