"why are we doing this anyway?" asks Amy who's carrying Beca in her arms.

Aubrey ran away after she gave Beca a remedy, to fetch Amy, since, next to Beca, she was the strongest of their group. Chloe who stayed with Beca and held her head on her lap to reassure the brunette and her.

"What happened?" Emily shouts when she sees Amy running, together with Stacie they run towards her.

"It's okay, she's not dead, just unconscious for a long time to come up with a plan."

"what have you done with her, what plan?!" Stacie asks right away...

"Nothing bad, girls, she'll be all right, hopefully."

Stacie's eyes are getting big

"what do you mean, hopefully"

"Beca has been taken over by a demon," says Chloe holding Beca's hand, next to Amy.

"You gotta be kidding me."

"Does this look like a joke?"

"this is dicksy-chick serious" says Aubrey.

"for now I need you guys, go find some kind of handcuff rope whatever you can find."

Emily and Stacie nod and walk into a side hallway to look for them.

Arriving at Beca's room, Amy carefully puts her on the bed. "I've already told you, I've seen a documentary, about demons, how to summon them and drive them away."

Aubrey and Chloe are looking at Amy. "Maybe, no idea, but handy, how to drown a demon" Chloe who has grabbed a chair to sit next to Beca's bed, hand grabbed, she rubs Beca's palm with her thumb.

"You're not gonna like this..."

"Don't like what?" With a serious look, she looks at Amy.

"To kill a demon, you have to kill the demon."

"Yeah, I know, but how?"

"Chloe you don't understand, to kill a demon, you have to... you have to... you have to kill Beca."

the world is standing still, time has stopped moving. words that slowly penetrate her. slowly replayed in her head. again and again and again until it subsides. stopped rubbing Beca's hand, she looks at Aubrey, tears at the point of escape.

"No, no, Aubrey tell me this is a joke, Amy?" She looks at them both, the tears that used to be in her eyes slide down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry Chloe... I'd rather not have wanted this, even if I don't like this little Hobbit, I wouldn't have let her." She stands next to Chloe, with a trusted hand, she puts it gently on Chloe's shoulder. Before she knew it, Chloe cries in her side. She gets down on her knees and hugs her friend.

"We're there-- what is it?" Emily walks in with hospital cuffs and a roll of bandages.

"Beca's as good as dead," says Amy.

through the words Amy uttered, Chloe starts crying even louder, causing Aubrey to look at Amy roughly.

"what do you mean?" with a lump in her throat, she looks at everyone, Stacie walks slowly towards Beca.

"To save Beca, we have to kill her," says Aubrey.

Emily and Stacie look at each other, then at the crying Chloe, not a clue about the tears rolling down their cheeks right now.

"I can't say goodbye to short steck yet."

"she could have achieved so much, if all this didn't happen or if all this is over, she was like a sister to me, there's no way out" with the last bit of hope she looks at everyone.

"Well, maybe we can save her, anyway one hundred percent sure someone has to kill her, maybe we can save her, we're in a mother fucking hospital, enough aperture to save her"

Chloe's looking up. "you're right, I won't leave it at that."

Beca's head moves slowly, slowly she blinks her eyes and looks around.

"shit, Emily, where are the cuffs?"

"here" she throws to Aubrey "Amy Stacie hold her, Emily binds her legs" everyone gets up in no time. Emily grabs the bandage and ties Beca's legs to the back of the bed, while Aubrey and Stacie both tie one hand to the top end of the bed with two pairs of handcuffs.

"wa- what's going on, Amy let go of me, guys, what is this!" Beca tries to get loose frustrated she moves, with all the strength she's got in her she tries to untie herself, but it doesn't make sense.

"Aubrey, why are you doing this to me?! Amy! Untie me" furiously she moves on the bed.

"sorry short steck"

"Amy i sweer to god if you don't untie me now"

"Beca, please." Chloe looks at her and stands in front of her bed. Her gaze locks with Beca's. Again, time stops, in a good way, something they haven't had for a long time. The Brunette has stopped resisting.

"It's all right Beca, but for now you have to trust me, just as I trust you, please."

Beca looks at her, all she does is nod, she knows that something is wrong, that this is a precaution, but her heart breaks every time she sees the pain in her friends' faces, even more of the pain that can be seen in Chloe's eyes.

Noticing that Aubrey had walked out of the room, she sees Aubrey standing at the end of her bed, again with a syringe in her hand.

"Beca you know I don't like you, but this hurts me as much as it hurts you, you know we both love Chloe very much and we would do anything for her, you know that"

Beca's eyes grow big at the sight of the regret in Aubrey's hands. the first calm heartbeat starts beating very fast, breathing starts to get harder, a body that is first in the trans through Chloe's blood beautiful eyes, tries to get away from the cuffs at the bedside.

"Aubrey you don't have to do this, I'm stuck, I can't do anything, Emily Stacie please I can't hurt anybody, I can't hurt anybody like this"

With fear in her eyes she looks at Chloe, tears run down her cheeks. She can't handle the pain she sees and in a quick walk she walks out of the room, Amy, Stacie, Emily follow her.

"You've hurt her so much already, I won't let you hurt her any more, because of this hassle the first happy Chloe is probably gone."

"Aubrey we both know it's because of the whole situation, not just me, once this is all over, old Chloe will be back too, I'm sure of it, but now... please I'm begging you, not the syringe."

"sorry Mitchell, better to be extra careful than getting killed in my sleep."

Slowly she steps forward, Beca trying to free herself, eyes that used to be steel blue, now glowing grey looking at Aubrey. With the movement of the head harder to get the syringe in, Aubrey gives a hard blow against Beca's jaw.

"now we're quite"

by the blow dizzy, confused, her body begins to rest, her head stopped moving. Aubrey turns her head a bit to the side to have a good spot for the syringe. Slowly she pushes it in and injects it into Beca's neck.

"I really hope you make it, for you, but especially for Chloe."

Aubrey walks out of the room, met by everyone at the door listening.

"What did you give her?"

"A general anaesthetic, anaesthetic, she's asleep, her whole body's sedated, she can't do anything except breathe."

"Why are you doing this to me!" Again in the gray cold, cold world, she gets down on her knees and cries when her world turns black.
