I don't know why, but I had to do a Supernatural story and this just came to mind. First attempt, hope you'll like it.
10-year-old Santana and her 12-year-old brother Cristofel where running and playing through the boat of their father's army. Suddenly there's fog, so much that Santana can't even see her brother and he's standing next to her. She feels his arm on her shoulders holding her in a protective way and then a soldier runs to the person driving the ship.
"Stop! Stop!" he yells and both Santana and her brother look at each other.
"Stop the boat!" he keeps yelling. Eventually Santana's father 'Teniente' (Lieutenant) Anibal Lopez comes out with Coronel Jason Puckerman.
"What's wrong soldier?!" the Lieutenant asks him with authority.
"My lieutenant a boat... our brother boat sunk." the soldier tells him and both Lt. Lopez and Coronel Puckerman share a worried look. They all made their way to see if what the soldier said was true and everyone gasp at what they saw. The boat was burning, and there were pieces and parts of the boat and their soldiers floating on the sea. Lt. Lopez starts breathing heavily, and they all knew he was enraged.
"What's the nearest island?!" he screams and everyone stays quiet. While Santana's father was going on a rampage she started to hear a whisper and she looked to see if it was her brother, but his attention was to his father.
'Help her...' she hears again and starts to look around.
'Floating...' she hears clearly and then runs to the side of the boat to see if someone was calling her. And then she sees it, she sees a girl floating in a piece of wood from the burning first she looks sad because a girl just died, but she saw the girl move and look at her.
"Papa! There's a girl! She's alive!" Santana tells her father interrupting her and runs to where she is and she points at the girl. Her father starts screaming at the soldiers to go down and get her out of the ocean. Santana keeps looking at the girl, and her father puts his hand on her shoulder.
"Good job." he tells her and although he's not smiling, she knows he means it.
She sees when the soldiers take the girl out of the water and drape her with some towels. Once they bring her on the boat Santana makes her way to her, she witnesses how they let her go once she's on board. Santana carefully makes her way to where the girl was left and sees the girls blonde hair. She then takes her hand and starts brushing it off, to see her face. She gasps when she sees what's dangling on the girl's neck, she shakes her head not believing it. When she hears her father's voice she quickly grabs the girls necklace, and rips it off her neck.
"Santana, what are you doing?" he asks.
"I was just seeing if she was ok." she tells him and he nods.
"Well then, I'm sorry but she's going to the cell downstairs." he says as the soldiers pick her up and Santana looks at him confused.
"Why?" she asks him and he looks down.
"Because she's an enemy, and she harms people. So to take precautions she's going to the cell." he tells her and she shakes her head.
"How do you know she's an enemy?" she asks him and he looks at her his jaw clenching.
"Santana. Enough! She's going to the cell and that's final." he tells her and starts walking away. She looks at the necklace she ripped off the girl and see inscriptions. Santana knows them by her father's teachings. People that wear this type of necklaces are people who are either stronger or enemies. She grips it and then puts it on the pocket of her dress.
It was midnight and Santana couldn't sleep thinking of the girl being their enemy. And that once she arrived to Spain they would probably hang her. She was deep in thought when she heard footsteps, she saw a shadow passing carefully by her room; she doesn't know why but she gets out of bed and walks out to see who it was. She quietly opens the door and wind hits her. She sees dirty footsteps and her eyebrows furrow in confusion. And then someone grabs her from behind and she makes an attempt to scream but the person covers her mouth with their hand.
"Shhh... if you scream they'll kill us." Santana hears a voice she doesn't recognize say, and she turns around, immediately meeting blue eyes. Then fire comes out of nowhere, and it almost hits Santana. Then more and more fire comes and the soldiers start to come out.
"Come on." the girl grabs her hand and leads Santana down to the cell. The girl makes her sit and then starts walking to go outside, but Santana grabbed her hand.
"Where are you going?" Santana asks her and she looks troubled at first, but then shakes her head.
"Nowhere." she says and they both smile at each other. Suddenly someone starts making their way down where they both where and when he sees them he smiles.
"Blueberry... who's this?" he says and Santana takes the girl's hand and squeezes it. The girl doesn't answer and he grows impatient .
"Answer me! Who's this?" he asks her and she shakes her head.
"You stupid, insolent, bastard!" he screamed and the girl looks at him and with her hand pushes him, making him fly to the other part of the room and land on a hook. Santana's eyes go wide, while the girl is still panting. And then the girl starts to cry and Santana stands there looking at her not believing what she did.
"I'm sorry you had to see that." she tells Santana, who's still in shock.
"I'm going to die when we get to where we're going right?" she asks and Santana was about to answer when her father comes in.
"Santana are you alright?" he asks her and Santana nods.
"Ok. And what are you doing out of the cell?" he asks the girl and she's about to answer but Santana went ahead.
"She saved my life." Santana tells her father, and he looks at her daughter with a shocked expression.
"Look." she points to him the proof and he's even more shocked when he sees one of the intruders hanging from the hook dead.
"See she's not an enemy, she saved me." Santana tells him and he clears his throat.
"Thank you. For saving my daughter." he tells the girl and starts walking out when Santana asks him.
"She's not going to die when we get home, right?" she asks him and at first he was going to tell her that yes, that's what happens to enemies, but when he looked at the girl he sighed.
"We can work something out, but only because you saved my daughter's life." he says and walks out. Santana then smiles at her, but then stops when she sees the girls frown.
"I thought you would be happy." Santana tells her and the girl looks at her and nods.
"I am happy, grateful even, but..." she looks at where the man was hanging and tears fell down her cheeks. Santana starts shaking her head and hugs the girl.
"You did that to protect me." Santana tells her and then kisses her cheek.
"What's your name?" Santana asks her sitting next to her and she sees how the girl lights up.
"Brittany. What's your's?"
"Santana Marie Lopez."
At that Brittany frowns and Santana pats her back.
"What's wrong?" Santana asks her.
"Nothing, it's just a long name." she tells Santana and they both chuckle.
6 Years Later
Brittany's training one of the Lopez's new horses, she can't believe that Lt. Lopez saved her life, and she mostly can't believe that she lives with her best friend. She knows she's supposed to be one of the maids but once in a while she just likes to do outdoors activities. When she finishes with the horse, she leads him back to his stable, and as she opens the door she manages to break the handle.
"That's why my brother always asks you to do his job Britt." Santana says and Brittany smiles at her. And then puts the horse in the stable.
"Could you give me that metal screw?" Brittany asks her, making Santana smirk. As she grabs it she walks up to Brittany and hands it to her, fingers touching and they both smile at the feeling. Brittany's the first one to take her hand back and Santana looks at her as she bends the metal screw like paper and sticks it to the stables door.
"What brings you here?" Brittany asks as she wobbles the door with her two fingers to secure the stable door won't open, and Santana smiles.
"Mmmm... maybe my best friend." Santana tells her standing way too close. Brittany can't help but be aroused. And she's even more aroused when Santana wears those dresses that make her now cleavage look extraordinary.
"Hey baby Blue." Sam, one of the stable boys says, and Brittany and Santana immediately separate. Brittany can see Santana's annoyed and chuckles.
"Hey ass Blue." Brittany tells him and Santana covers her mouth to not laugh loud. Sam looks at her and scoffs.
"Anyways... I came here to ask you something." he tells Brittany.
"Ok, what is it?" Brittany asks him and he smiles.
"Want to come with me and the guys to the brothel?" he asks her and Brittany immediately nods.
"Sure. If I don't go I'll get in trouble with Rosario. Come look for ?" Brittany tells him and he nods and leaves. Brittany looks back at Santana and sees she's looking at everything else except her. Brittany doesn't know why every time she goes to the brothel to see her friend with benefits or like they say here 'Amante', Santana gets like this. Then Santana starts walking away but Brittany grabs her by her arms.
"Where are you going?" Brittany asks her confused and she attempts to face look at Santana's face but she doesn't let her.
"Why do you care?" Santana spats and Brittany's taken aback.
"I always care, you're my best friend." Brittany tells her and Santana nods.
"Forget it. Have fun with that 'puta'." with that said Santana walks away and Brittany gets mad by Santana's outburst. Without knowing she clenches her jaw and puts her hand in a fist, and starts a fire in the hay.
"Shit!" Brittany grabs a bucket of water and puts the fire out. She then puts her hands on her head and sighed.
"Brittany! Time to clean up." she hears the main maid scream and makes her way back to the house. After bathing and putting her clothes on, she stood in front of her chair in the dinner table waiting for Lt. Lopez to arrive. Two minutes later he arrives with his two daughters and son. As always Santana sits in front of her; her little sister Isabela sits next to me, and her brother next to her. Leaving the main seat to Lt. Lopez, they all as always say grace and feast.
"So Santana how where piano lessons?" Lt. Lopez asks her oldest daughter she smiled in politeness.
"It went great papi, my teacher said I'm very advanced." she tells him and then looks at Brittany.
"Wow, and that comes from Schuester." he says impressed and Brittany looks back at her and she averts her eyes. This doesn't go unnoticed by the main maid seated at the other end of the table.
"Papi, I want to learn piano or maybe violin." Isabela tells him and he chuckles and caresses her little daughters cheek.
"And you will, when you're older." he tells her and she pouts.
"But I am older I have this many years." she tells him showing seven of her fingers. Everyone at the table chuckles and then it's the brothers turn.
"Did you do your chores Cristofel?" he asks his only son and Cristofel looks at Brittany.
"Umm... Yes, of course. Everything's done." he tells his father and his father looks at him and smiles.
"Very good hijo, someday this will all be yours. That's why I'm training you." he tells him and Cristofel nods. After that last interrogation, they all eat and both Santana and Brittany stole quick gazes at each other. When they all finish, the Lopez family gets up and Lt. Lopez goes up to Brittany.
"Brittany can I have a word?" he asks and Brittany feels scared as to why he wanted to talk to her. Brittany sees Santana give her one last glance and leave.
"Sure."
"Come to my study." he tells her and walks away. Brittany grabs the plates and puts them in the sink so she can quickly wash them.
"What you're doing is a crime you know?" the main maid says and Brittany turns and smiles at her.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Brittany I'm telling you this because I love you, and don't want you to get hurt. Santana Lopez is not for you, and we both know that although you saved her life when she was 10. The Lt. won't care once you cross the line, and we also both know of what you would do to him. They need their father, especially Isabela. So please think before you do anything with the young Lopez." with that said she left and Brittany knew it was true. Sometimes she hates what's she's capable of, but for Santana and her family she'll do anything. Even if she ends up hurt.
Once Brittany finished cleaning the dishes, she walks to Lt. Lopez's study and she knocks on the door. She hears him scream 'Come in.' and she slowly opens the door and gets inside.
"You wanted to talk to me Lt. ?" Brittany asks him and he nods and gestures her to sit down.
"It has come to my attention that you've been going to the brothel." he tells Brittany and she closes her eyes, because she knows the brothel is as off-limits as his children. She hears him sigh and shake his head.
"Brittany I know about your condition, and I don't want people to freak out or anything. You know what they would do to you if they knew about it, and you're my daughters best friend. So I'm sorry but you're not going to the brothel again." he tells her and she shakes her head and grips the chair's arm in anger.
"You can't do that." Brittany tells him gritting her teeth, and he looks shocked at her tone.
"May I remind you Brittany that I'm the head of this household,and what I say goes. Am I clear?" he asks her and she's trying to calm down. She feels herself get angrier and angrier and the only thing that comes to her mind is to leave. As she runs out of the study, she passes Santana and runs out of the house.
When Brittany's deep in the woods, she sees a tall old tree and punches it, making the tree break and fall. Then Brittany realizes, why would he mention Santana? Brittany starts to chuckle when she realized why she would look at her that much on the dinner table.
"Brittany.." she hears Santana's voice and Brittany sighs.
"I don't want to talk to you now Santana." Brittany tells her and walks past her.
"Why not?I'm your best friend." Santana asks making Brittany stop and look back at her with an incredulous look.
"Are you?" Brittany asks her and she looks taken aback by the question.
"Of course I am."
"What kind of best friend tells her father that her one and supposedly only 'best friend' goes to a brothel?" Brittany questions her and Santana stays quiet, making Brittany scoff.
"You know what forget it." Brittany tells her and Santana grabs her hand and kisses her. Brittany starts kissing her back, but then remembers what the main maid told her and pushes her back gently. Santana looks at her frowning and with tears in her eyes. And when she sees that Brittany won't look at her, she runs back to the house. Brittany knows that she's doing the right thing, she knows that she doesn't want to hurt Santana or any of her family, and if Santana knew that she wasn't just strong but had other powers that she could not control. She would run to the hills, all Brittany had to do was look for distractions and control herself and her anger.
What do you think? Should I keep going?
