"What do you want from me! You haven't done enough to me!"

Beca was screaming around, in the gray area.

"I'm far from finished, you'll want to die when I'm finished with you" says 'beca' around her.

She looks around, no shape anywhere, she starts running, away... As hard as she can, until her muscles in her body start to burn.

Then she stops. A light, a white grayish light in the distance...a voice... Not her voice. Slowly she walks up until she can see better what's there. A blond woman, and.... CHLOE! As fast as she can she runs towards her, until she stops. She cries... Why? Slowly she comes closer until she hears her voice....

"I don't know her anymore..."

"Calm down, Chlo, it's all right, you can tell me anything." Aubrey puts a hand on Chloe's shoulder that goes away in terror.

"Chloe talks to me, what did she do?"

Slowly Chloe puts her hair aside, the side of her neck is blue, purple with bite marks.

Aubrey's scared.

"Beca?"

Beca's heart breaks when she hears this. "This isn't real. Why are you showing me this?"

"Because of course this is real, do you really think she'd forgive you for what you did?"

"That wasn't me! If I get my hands on you mother fucker..."

"Then what!" "Beca" stands in front of her with the machete in her hand, pushing against the closed wound in Beca's side. The sample of the machete fire in her side. She's holding her teeth together, with her fists clenched.

"I thought so" as soon as the machete came, it was gone too.

Beca looks up, no sign of Chloe... a tear rolled down her cheeks and then fell to the ground.

"I knew there was something wrong with her, Chloe I'm sorry, I'm done!" Aubrey stormed out of her room.

"No, please, I love her, you can't do this to her, it's not her fault!"

"She's a danger, look what she's done to you, maybe it'll get worse, we have to do something before it's too late." She takes a syringe out of the drawer in the hallway. She searches a load until she runs into a small bottle.

"Aubrey, what are you doing? What have you got there?"

"I'll take precautions, if you can't do it, I'll do it" with the needle she goes into the bottle to put the fluid in the syringe. Once inside, she makes a quick run to the room where Beca is, right now, Chloe is chasing Aubrey, with tears running down her cheeks. When she arrives, Aubrey puts the syringe behind her back, with an accelerated heartbeat she beats. No answer. Slowly she opens the door, and is met by two glowing grey eyes. Aubrey's breathing goes fast.

"hey..Beca..I need to talk to you." She starts as she slowly steps inside, CHloe stays outside, she can't see what Aubrey's going to do to her lover.

Beca looks at Aubrey, with a grin that slowly starts coming on her face, she gets up. her eyes pierce Aubrey's soul, step by step she walks forward.

"What is it?"

"I don't want to do this, but... But you leave me no choice." Confident and with a straight back, Aubrey looks at Beca. Before she knew it, she felt a pain shoot go through her face.

Chloe's on the ground, why did it have to happen to Beca, her Beca... too far in her mind, she suddenly sees a figure running past her.

"Beca! Wait," she gets up and walks into the room where she's met by an Aubrey standing up.

"What happened, what did she do?"

"She hit me before I could catch her." With one hand against her cheek, she and Chloe run out of the room.

"Whoever that was, it wasn't Beca... whatever it is... Whatever it is inside Beca's body, it has to come out."

Beca looks around, the gray color that was there first, now colorful. the hospital they've taken over. how did she get here? it didn't matter to her. she walks out of the hallway to the middle of the hospital. in the middle a clearing, with a piano on top, black. she walks towards it, looks around her to see if she sees someone coming, closer and closer to the piano she finally sits on the stool behind it. her fingers slide over the keys. and starts playing.

I can hold my breath

I can bite my tongue

I can stay awake for days

If that's what you want

Be your number one

I can fake a smile

I can force a laugh

I can dance and play the part

If that's what you ask

Give you all I am

I can do it

I can do it

I can do it

But I'm only human

And I bleed when I fall down

I'm only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

'Cause I'm only human, yeah.

Her fingers slide over her keys. The emotion in her voice, with her eyes closed and a tear escaping her eyes, she plays on, no idea of Chloe and Aubrey watching. Chloe looks full of bewilderment, with tears gliding down her cheeks, Aubrey slowly walks towards Beca with the syringe in her hand.

I can turn it on

Be a good machine

I can hold the weight of worlds

If that's what you need

Be your everything

I can do it

I can do it

I'll get through it

But I'm only human

And I bleed when I fall down

I'm only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I...

a pain in her neck, she stops playing. and looks behind her, with her hand they go to her neck pulling out a syringe. she stands, Aubrey walks slowly backwards.

"I'm sorry Beca, or whoever you are."

staggeringly she tries to go to Aubrey, her image gets blurry

"wa- what happens..." with a bang she falls to the ground, her world turns black....
