Chapter 1 - The Struggles of a Normal Young Adult

Chloe Beale. 21 years old, senior at Barden University, studying pre-med, hoping to get into Med School after she graduates, co-captain of the Barden Bellas, an a cappella group that's been her second family for four years now.

Chloe is medium height, slim but she has muscles from all the hours she's spent in the gym, she has wavy red hair and ocean blue eyes almost everyone envies, a dazzling smile and the type of kindness very few can have. Chloe sees the good in everyone, she knows no one is 100% bad, nor is everyone 100% good, she knows that.

Chloe's best friends are the Barden Bellas. She absolutely loves those girls, they make her life so much better. Especially Aubrey Posen, her best friend since they were both 9 years old. Aubrey can be a little too controlling, which is okay really, Chloe knows she doesn't mean that in a bad way, it's just the way she is. Overall, Aubrey is a great captain, she wants the best for the Bellas.

Aubrey is studying pre-law, hoping to be a partner in her father's law firm. Aubrey studies a lot, she's very hard working, she's no shame in staying up past 4 studying for a very important test. Chloe doesn't see that as a problem, since she usually stays up around that time studying for her finals too.

Chloe got home in a sunny afternoon. Home was the Bellas House, one Chloe loved walking into, it was so homey.

Chloe had a towel over her shoulder, a water bottle in her hand, her phone on her arm and a yoga mat under her arm.

"Hey guys!" she called into the house as she got in, closing the door behind her.

"Hey Chlo!" a voice spoke from down the hall.

"Anyone taking a shower?" Chloe asked.

"Nope, all yours," the same voice said.

Chloe smiled and walked upstairs to the room she shared with Aubrey. She put her stuff down, grabbed a change of clothes and went down the hall to the bathroom.

The redhead took her hair out of the ponytail it had been in, took off her clothes and turned on the water. She waited a bit before it was at a satisfying temperature before she got in, humming as the warm water hit her shoulders.

She ran her fingers through her hair, getting it all wet before grabbing her shampoo, squirting a good amount on her palm before massaging it into her scalp, shutting her eyes, enjoying the treatment she was giving herself.

"Chlo?" a voice came from outside.

"Yeah Stace?" Chloe answered.

"Do we have brown sugar? I wanna bake some cookies," the girl, Stacie Conrad, another good friend of Chloe's, asked through the door. Of course, with the shower on, Chloe could barely make out what she was saying.

"Stacie I went shopping yesterday, we should have brown sugar," Chloe tried speaking in a higher volume so Stacie could understand her.

"Okay!" Stacie said and left. Or at least Chloe thought she left because she didn't say anything else.

Chloe washed the shampoo before grabbing her shower gel. She washed her body thoroughly, put conditioner on her hair, combed through with her fingers before she turned off the water and left, wrapping her towel around her body.

When Chloe finally left the shower, she made sure to brush her hair, dry it and curl it before she finally made her way back downstairs, where she could already smell the cookies Stacie was baking.

"Smells delicious already, Stacie," Chloe smiled, taking a seat on the couch in the living room, grabbing the remote.

"Thanks!" Stacie smiled. "Hey, you know what I was thinking?"

"No, what?" Chloe asked with a frown.

"You know the big storm? The power will probably go out, we'll be all here, we should have our own Bella night! We could sing, we could drink, we could light the fire, it'd be fun!" Stacie said.

"You know, Stacie, that's not a bad idea," Chloe said with a thoughtful look.

"Yeah?" Stacie asked.

"Yeah. I have to talk to Aubrey, though," Chloe said. "I'm pretty sure she'll like it."

Stacie smiled, proud of her idea. She dried her hands and checked the oven to see that her cookies were almost ready.

Chloe turned her attention back to the TV, grabbing a pillow and hugging it. She could feel cramps coming and she knew her period was due by the end of the week.

"... the storm just got stronger, we'll have winds at 60 mph and it will rain for a few days, so stay dry people." the weather man said and ended with a smile.

"Thank you, Lonnie!"

Chloe sighed as she listened to the other news. She hated when there was a storm coming, especially by the end of the summer. Usually those storms were the worst because of the high pressure in the air mixed with humidity, it was not fun.

"We should stock up on food." Stacie said.

"Stacie, it's a storm, it's not a hurricane," Chloe laughed.

"Chlo, winds at 60 mph! We need to stock up on food, we live in a house with 9 girls!" Stacie said.

"Well, you're right when you put it that way," Chloe agreed with a tired sigh. "I can't believe I gotta study Calculus in an hour. Ugh."

"You chose it," Stacie said. "Enjoy your freedom while it lasts. Eat a cookie."

"Are they ready yet?" Chloe asked eagerly.

"I'm gonna take them out of the oven," Stacie said, putting on her oven mitts.

Chloe smiled and clapped her hands. She loved Stacie's cookies, the brunette was a great baker. Her velvet cupcakes were simply amazing.

The door opened and Aubrey, Jessica and Ashley got in. The three placed their purses in the coat closet before greeting the two in the kitchen and living room.

"Hey!"

"Did you know the skies are getting super dark?" Ashley commented with a disappointed look.

"Already?" Chloe asked.

"Yeah," Ashley said.

"Hey, Stacie had an awesome idea for tomorrow night, tell it Stacie," Chloe said to the busty brunette.

"We could have a Bella night! You know, light the fire, eat s'mores, drink some cheap wine, sing, talk, you know, stay together in the living room when the power is out," Stacie spoke, using a spatula to put her cookies on a plate.

"That's a great idea," Aubrey spoke.

"I like it!" Jessica said.

Chloe looked at Stacie and shot her a smile.

"Great! Tomorrow morning, I'm going to the store to stock up on food, candy and wine," Stacie said. "We should have a fondue night tomorrow!"

"O-M-aca-G, yes!" Chloe said.

"We're all sitting in front of the fire, some fondue, even chocolate fondue… that'd be really nice!" Stacie said.

"Stacie, you're a genius!" Chloe said.

"You can pay me with sex later," Stacie said, holding out the plate of cookies for Chloe to take one.

The redhead laughed loudly, as did the other girls. Jessica and Ashley left to go to their room and Aubrey sat down next to Chloe.

"I know it has been a while since I last slept with anyone, but thanks Stacie, I'll pass," Chloe said.

"You don't know what you're missing," Stacie said with a wink before offering a cookie to Aubrey.

Chloe chuckled and shook her head.

"We made out like once on a dare, Stace," Chloe said.

"You enjoyed it, don't deny it!" Stacie said, placing the plate of cookies on the coffee table before sitting on the other couch. "Jess! Ash! We have cookies!"

"Well yeah I enjoyed it, you're a great kisser," Chloe said. "But you're looking for a hookup, I'm looking for something serious. I'm looking for someone to tie the knot with!"

"I can tie something else on you, though," Stacie winked and smirked.

"Thanks Stace, I know you must be amazing in bed, you keep sexting me ever since that party, but no thanks," Chloe said. "I want to get married."

"Yeah, I don't want that. Maybe in the future when I'm like 35 and I need to settle down," Stacie said, grabbing a cookie with a thoughtful look. "So I guess I can hold on to your number and call you when you're 38." another wink.

Chloe laughed along with Aubrey.

"Stacie, Chloe is probably gonna be married when she's 38," Aubrey said.

"I know but in case she's not, she can be my backup. What do you say Chloe?" Stacie wiggled her eyebrows.

"Okay, I guess," Chloe rolled her eyes. "But I want kids, Conrad."

"That's okay, as long as you're the one to carry them or we adopt them," Stacie said.

"Deal," Chloe said, shaking Stacie's hand while Aubrey shook her head and laughed.

"Chlo, you do realize you just made a deal to marry Stacie if you're single when you're 40, right?" Aubrey asked.

"Yeah," Chloe said. "And I don't mind, Aubs. Because I know I won't be single when I'm 40."

Aubrey chuckled and shrugged.

oO0Oo

The next day, at around 6 PM, the girls were all home, waiting for it to start raining. The wind was getting stronger, the windows in the house was already shaking.

Fat Amy, an Australian girl who came to live in America in high school, was telling weird stories about storms back in Australia, scaring Jessica and Ashley, who were curled up against each other on the couch while Aubrey and Chloe worked on lighting the fire.

"Amy, stop! You're bumming everybody out!" Aubrey said.

"What?" Fat Amy asked, confused.

Stacie chuckled as she watched the two captains light the fire successfully.

"Great, fire is lit, I should get started on the fondue," Stacie got up and went to the kitchen.

"We should put the wine on the decanter," Chloe got up from the floor, following Stacie into the kitchen.

There was a lightning and 30 seconds later, thunder. The lightning made Jessica and Ashley jump and shake with fear.

"I didn't know you guys were so scared of thunderstorms," Aubrey commented with a frown.

"But don't worry, guys, we're all here," Cynthia Rose, a black woman with a shaved head said to the two, who nodded with smiles.

"Chlo, can you cut the bread please?" Stacie asked once she'd put the cheese in a pan.

"Sure," Chloe, placing the decanter on the counter and grabbing the bag of bread and a knife.

"See? We already make a great pair in the kitchen," Stacie said. "We'd be a great couple."

Chloe rolled her eyes with a chuckle.

"You're such a Barney Stinson trying to play Ted Mosby," Chloe said.

Stacie shrugged.

"We all wanted to sleep with Barney at some point," Stacie said with a smirk.

"Stacie, stop hitting on Chloe, Jessica and Ashley are getting scared and the storm is approaching!" Aubrey said.

"Stace, maybe you should light some candles before the power is out," Chloe suggested.

Stacie nodded and walked around the house looking for their candles, which were in random places throughout the house.

Once it actually started raining, the wind got that much stronger, doing a high whistling sound against their windows, pushing the glass, making Ashley and Jessica more scared.

Stacie managed to light some candles, she left three in the kitchen and three more in the living room where everyone was, she knew they didn't need candles upstairs, they all had their phones in case they needed to move around, and she put candles in the bathroom downstairs.

"Alright, candles are lit," Stacie said, sitting down on the couch next to Lily, a quiet Asian who could speak some very macabre things under her breath.

"Stacie, don't forget the cheese," Chloe said from the kitchen, knowing the brunette had already forgotten.

"Oh!" Stacie got up and ran to check the cheese. She turned off the stove and grabbed the black fondue pot.

Chloe chuckled and shook her head.

Stacie was halfway through the kitchen with the first fondue pot when the power went out. The busty brunette stopped and groaned.

"Great timing," she said.

"Come no, we're all starving!" Cynthia Rose said.

"I got the other fondue pot, guys," Chloe said, putting the two baskets with the bread on the coffee table, before grabbing the red fondue pot.

The 9 girls were all sitting around the table, listening to the wind and the rain hitting against the windows, eating fondue and talking. Chloe had brought the wine so they were all drinking wine. Of course, they had to open two more bottles.

Before they knew it, it was 2 in the morning, they had finished their 5th bottle of wine and they were still eating chocolate fondue.

"Guys, guys.. Who's gonna do all the dishes?" Chloe asked with a whine. She was already oozy, she got drunk on wine pretty fast.

"We'll do them in the morning when we can see what we're doing, Chlo," Aubrey promised.

"Great," Chloe said and blinked slowly, jumping when she heard a loud thunder.

"Hey how about we play Truth or Dare?" Stacie asked. Her speech was slurred and she had a crooked smile.

"You just want to play that 'cause you want to make out with Chloe," Aubrey said with narrowed eyes.

"You got me," Stacie said, "I dare you to dare us to make out, Aubs."

"Stace, I dare you to leave Chloe alone," Aubrey said.

Stacie threw her head back and groaned.

"You're such a buzz killer," Stacie said.

Aubrey offered her a sheepish smile.

The girls all jumped when they heard a strong wind that sounded like it would tear the second floor and attic down.

"I'm gonna check on the house," Stacie said and threw a wink at Chloe's direction.

Chloe blushed and giggled. She rested her head against the wall behind her for a few moments before standing up with some difficulty.

"I'm gonna help her," she announced, making the girls groan, because they all knew she'd go after Stacie.

"I hate the way Chloe gets when she's drunk," Aubrey said. "She'd never go after Stacie if she was sober."

"That's the fun in drinking! You do things you'd never do in a million years if you were sober!"

Aubrey rolled her eyes.

Upstairs, Chloe walked down the hall looking at her sides. Stacie must've gone inside a bedroom because she was not in the hall. Chloe was almost at the end of the hall when someone grabbed her waist from behind and she screamed and jumped.

"You jerk!" Chloe shoved Stacie, who was laughing.

"I knew you'd come after me," Stacie smirked.

"Don't flatter yourself," Chloe rolled her eyes before noticing Stacie had pinned her against the wall.

"I can't, you actually came after me. I know you'd want some of the Hunter," Stacie winked, running her hand under Chloe's shirt, rubbing small circles across her hip bone.

Chloe just bit her lip and didn't say anything, she just stared at Stacie's lips. The brunette got her message because she connected their lips, humming when the redhead wrapped her arms around her neck. She pressed Chloe up against the wall, kissing her harder, running her tongue across the redhead's lips, begging for entrance.

Chloe cupped Stacie's cheeks as she parted her lips, humming in appreciation when the brunette started a tongue war, one she'd have to admit she missed. Stacie was crazy to be more handsy, she loved that it was dark, she knew the girls wouldn't come upstairs so soon, but she wondered if it was too soon to invite Chloe to her bedroom.

Stacie trailed her kisses down the redhead's neck and hummed in appreciation when Chloe started moaning. The brunette started sucking on the other woman's neck, wanting to give her a hickey, hoping Chloe wouldn't give her a red flag.

Chloe pushed Stacie away from her slightly before reconnecting their lips. She moaned against the brunette's lips before Stacie pulled apart.

"Let's go to my room," she said.

Chloe nodded and the two stumbled into the room Stacie shared with Cynthia Rose, closing the door behind them.

Stacie took off her shirt and reconnected her lips to Chloe's. The redhead only pulled apart to take off her jeans before Stacie pushed her onto her bed.

"I knew you wouldn't resist me," Stacie said with a drunk smirk.

Chloe giggled and rolled her eyes, pulling Stacie closer to herself. The brunette took off Chloe's shirt, smirking when she saw the redhead hadn't been wearing a bra.

"Sexy, Beale," Stacie said, placing her head between Chloe's breasts, grabbing both with her hands, giving her hickeys.

Chloe was moaning under her, she grabbed Stacie by the hair and pulled her to her left boob. Stacie quickly bit onto Chloe's erect nipple, making the redhead moan a little louder.

A very loud crash coming from the attic made the two women in the bed jump and scream. Stacie sat up and looked up at the ceiling before placing her hands on top of her head. In her drunken state, she thought the ceiling was falling down.

Chloe grabbed her jeans and put them on in a hurry before opening the door.

"Chlo, where are you going?" Stacie asked.

"It sounds like a window broke, Stacie," Chloe said, walking out the door.

Stacie got up, put some shorts and a T-shirt back on and ran after the redhead.

"Chloe, you're naked!" Stacie said.

"I'm sure the broken window won't mind seeing my boobs, Stacie," Chloe rolled her eyes, going up the stairs to Fat Amy's room.

Chloe had been right, a window did break. Chloe heard a loud squeal that made her cover her ears. She saw something move amongst the broken glass and her eyes got wide. The thing moved out the window and Chloe's eyes widened even more when she saw a head. But it wasn't a normal head, it was green, it had long pointed ears, holes where the nostrils would've been, no mouth and eyes the size of chicken eyes. Beautiful sparkling dark purple eyes. There was no pupils, no white, the eyes were entirely dark purple.

Chloe stared into those dark purple eyes for a moment too long before she heard Stacie coming behind her.

"Oh God!" Stacie said when she saw the window.

"Stacie look!" when Chloe looked back at the window, the head was gone. The beautiful dark purple eyes were gone.

"Yeah, I see the broken window, Chlo," Stacie said. "You were right, let's go back to my bedroom."

"Stacie, we need to put some towels here or Amy's room will flood!" Chloe said.

"We can do that tomorrow, let's just go back!" Stacie grabbed Chloe's arm.

"Stacie, let it go! The moment's passed!" Chloe said. "I need to put on a shirt so we can get the girls to help us."

Stacie sighed as Chloe went downstairs to her room to get her shirt.

"Thanks a lot, storm! I was gonna get lucky!" She said to the broken window before going back downstairs after Chloe.
