Chapter Text
The lights flashed, pink, white, teal over and over again, crowds of Aliens and their pets swarmed in the venue pushing and shoving to take their seats.
A new pet caught their 'eye', a rookie at first but they grew. And grew. Bea was introduced to the eyes or some replacement for an eye to other aliens the moment she was born.
Always being under their watchful 'eye', born to be forced and forced to be born.
She was a hit immediately once she entered, everyone rooted for her yet they still loved one person more than her.
Luka.
But Bea never minded at all
She loved him too, just as much as the aliens loved him.
Bea couldn't get enough of Luka, she always aspired to be just like him one day. Really you could say it was love at first sight, seeing him on a billboard from the unattended open door in the Anact Garden. Bea never stopped loving him since, growing up and living off the hopes to meet him one day, tell him how much she loved him and wanted to be with him. Yet she never understood why she couldn't meet him. Bea pleaded with her owner multiple times to she him but it were only pain inflicted on her when she didn't let it go. Bea wanted to be with him, but it would be her death if she did.
The chords started, the lights flickered off before starting up softly, dimly lighting up the stage. Bea slowly walked further onto the stage before seeing all the Aliens before her, at all sides. She didn't know what was going to happen but she knew she had to win whatever this was. For Luka, she kept telling herself.
A frightened woman stumbled onto the stage, holding onto the mic as if that was her will to live. But it would be the reason she did the opposite.
Bea hummed softly into the mic, commencing the song, leaving no time for the other woman to gather her thoughts and form into words. Bea shot her a look, a look of disappointment and hatred, she wasn't going to loose to this slut. Not for anything, not even let her have the dignity to prove herself at least a bit good by singing even one part.
Soon it was over, Bea turned over to the woman who seemed to have lost her mind, screaming in fear before trying to run frantically off the stage. Yet it were too late, the Aliens quickly shot her down, hitting her leg first before killing her off with a clean shot to the head. The woman's body laid still on the edge of the stage, if she were just a bit quicker she could've at least made it off the stage and hid. The thought made Bea's head spin, not with fear. With obsession, she loved the feel of not dying, knowing that she was better than 'that'. Bea giggled to herself before the lights cut off.

After Bea's guardian took her back to her room, locking her in without saying another word. Bea didn't mind though, she walked over to her desk that stood in the corner of her room, not at all lighted or visible from afar. maybe that were best, then her owner wouldn't take it away either. Bea sat down and grabbed a spare paper, turning it around it were a printed picture of Luka's return announcement, at least it had his face on it, anything to make her seemed 'seen' by him even if it wasn't actually him.
"I know I can't talk to you but I want to hear you and see you. At least once."
