Here my new story, I hope it's gonna catch some of you! I try my best, I look forward and apologize for my mistakes, still not english! Obviously I don't own Glee and Arrow. Give it a chance..
NEW CITY, 2018
This city was my home. I know everything about it, every street, every corner, every.. just everything.
It was my house for 19 years until it wasn't anymore.
Now here I'm, I don't know what changed, but I'm gonna find out because I came back and I'm not gonna leave any time soon.
I'm walking in the darkness of the night, it's late and only bad people are around, I move on the roof of houses, I jump on windows and run in balconies. Until I find what I was searching, I hide under a tree and look inside the window, a man working on papers sitted on his couch. I keep looking at him until the front door opens and an older man enters and I'm even more caught.
That's my family.
My father and my brother, my mom lives in another city now, I know they divorced three years ago. They don't know I'm here, they don't even know I'm still alive, it has been a week since my arrive and all I've done is looking at them, following them.
After they went to bed I leave my spot, I walk toward my house, I live in an abandoned little factory, I stole some blanket and I feel like home, it's better that where I was before.
Another week here and I detected everything, the difference from before it's me, but now I'm not gonna be on the wrong side of justice, I'm gonna help, I'm gonna do something good, I'm gonna use the wrong of me to help. My father is a police man and he risks every time to be shot because the police in this city it's not that good and my brother is a lawyer and for what I saw in these two weeks, he likes cases he shouldn't take.
Tonight I'm gonna patrolling around, it's just me, it's all I can do, run around and hope to be in the right place at the right time, and tonight it's so. I hear a girl screaming, I cover my head with my black sweatshirt's hood and I start running, I see them, three men, two of them are punching a man and the other one is holding the girl. I get down the building, jumping down the emergency stairs in silence, I take a knife off my boot and walk to them, the girl is screaming against the man's hand, I turn one of them and I punch him in the face knocking him off immediately.
The other one leaves the man on the ground and comes to me, I turn my body and kick him in the face making him fall, I turn to the one with the girl, he's holding a knife to her throat, she's crying, I throw my knife and it sticks on his shoulder making his knife fall. The girl helps up her boyfriend thanking me while they run away, I look at the men on the ground one last time and then after I've taken my knife back I walk away, the police is gonna be here soon.
I take the newspaper in the morning and all they wrote it's that someone stabbed a delinquent, can you believe it?!
Now I have to do something I still don't have the courage to do, but I promised myself I'd do it today, now or never. I walk slowly on the empty little street, a hat on my head to hide my face, I look around and just few people are around, I turn and walk on the grass, I stop and I see it.
My grave.
Santana Lopez
18 Ott 1994 – 2013
Beloved daughter and sister.
I sit in front of it and stare at it, what's inside? Is it even something in there? Or they just buried an empty coffin? I don't know how to feel about it, I mean I died, lot of parts of me died, I'm not the same person, but I really don't know how to feel about a grave, it's real, it's right in front of me. And then it's another reminder of who am I now, of what happened.
I stand up and walk to another grave, this is the one I didn't want to see, I start crying and I don't cry easily, I sit and I just.. I cry.
Brittany S. Pierce
4 May 1992 – 2013
Wonderful daughter and sister.
I miss her so much, she didn't deserve to die, if she hadn't followed me, it was my fault, I convinced her to follow me and all of this happened.
"I'm sorry Brittany, I'm truly sorry, I miss you so much and I wish you haven't followed me that day, I ruined your life, you were the good one, all the good that's in the world and I just.. I'm sorry"
While I clean my face I hear someone in distance, I turn and God, I think I have hallucinations, I stand up and hide behind a tree, I walk closer and I see her, she looks like her, she could be her if I didn't know she's dead. Brianna, Brittany's sister, she's 19 now, what's she doing here? I see two boys talking to her and they don't look like they're here to visit someone, I put my hand on the knife I hide under my shirt on my belt, but then I see them exchange something.
What is she doing? It's drug? What the hell it's happening? The Pierce family was always so pure and happy and clean for God's sake, I have to understand what's happening, she can't do drug. I see her leave the spot and walk out the cemetery I immediately walk to the boys and I turn one of them from his shoulder.
"What the hell do you want?"
"Stay away from Brianna Pierce" I say and they laugh.
"It's business, she asks and we sell" He says smirking to me.
"You probably didn't hear me, because if you did you wouldn't have said that, so we try again" I take their wrists, one each for my hands and I twist them, they start shouting "So.. Stay away from Brianna Pierce"
"OKAY, OKAY" They scream together and I free them.
"Good, if she comes asking for something just send her away, I'll know if you don't"
They nod and run away, I look around and then leave too, I have things to check, I haven't see the Pierce residence yet, I didn't want to, but now I have to, I walk to their house, it's not even that far from here, they wanted to be a little outside the city, out of the city caos. The house is empty, where're they? It's sunday, they always spent sundays at home with the kids, maybe now that Brittany is gone and Brianna it's 19 they don't do it anymore. I look inside the window, it seems a bit neglected and I can't ask around what's happening, I'm a police captain daughter and after what happened people know my face.
I open the window with my knife and I enter, I look around and there's dust everywhere, maybe they don't live here anymore, I walk to Brittany's bedroom, the door it's locked, I turn the key and open it, everything it's the same, all plasticized, they didn't move a thing. I close the door again and go to Brianna's, it's a bit different, almost the same, it doesn't look like a 19 years old girl room, where is she?
I look in the other rooms and everything it's the same, all untouched, I walk into the kitchen and I see a pack of letters, they're opened, I take them and I start to read. The first thing I notice it's that they're from the Pierces, why would they send letters to their own house? After have read them all, I sit and try to process everything. It seems that some time after Brittany's death they started to travel, leaving Brianna at home alone, now they're practically living outside the country, they've abandoned their daughter here, Brianna didn't want to leave with them so they just let her live here alone.
They send money to her every month, but they don't ever visit, just few times in years, I can't believe it, they don't even know Brianna is using drugs then, I put the letters back on the table and leave, on my way out the propriety I see Brianna walk inside the gate, I follow her until she enters the dependance. I look inside and she lives there, some photos are around, some plates in the sink, some book, a pc and other things, she sits and rolls herself a cigarette, it seems like she's used to getting high. I leave trying to control myself, I really would like to enter and tell her one thing or two, but I can't, I don't know how but I'm gonna find a way to help her.
Another night on patrol, I slept like three hours in two days, I don't feel tired, I know how to stay awake even when I'm sleeping, but I know that my body need more rest, I jump from here to there, it seems like a quiet night, maybe they were tired too. But as soon as I thought that I hear an alarm start ringing, I run there and a gang was robbing a market, they're five, three inside and two outside.
I jump on the roof of the market and then I slide down a light pole, I kick one of the boys immediately and he falls, the other one runs to me and he tries to punch me, he fails, I punch him on his ribs and he falls down too. I enter the market and I see the other boys around, one on the cash desks and the other two are taking some electronic things, I jump on the desk and kick his face knocking him down immediately making the money fall on the ground. The other two run into the corridors and hide, they don't know what I'm capable of, I start walking and I take my knifes out, I walk until I hear a movement, I jump on the furniture and see him run, I throw my knife at him and it sticks on his knee making him fall.
I jump down on the ground and I go find the other one, I know where he is, I throw my knife near him to scare him off, he jumps out and start running I take the first thing I find and I hit him on the head, knock out with a mixer! I hear the sirens getting near, I take my knifes and run off the scenes, I jump on the pole and slide up it until I can jump on the roof and run away without someone seeing me.
It's morning and I take a newspaper to see if they wrote something about the robbery and what I see it's.. There's a photo of me on the front page, well, a photo of me with a hat and hood on, so you can't even see if I'm a boy or a girl, the market must had cameras on, but anyway, I start reading and they talk about the robbery, but the article focus on what captain Lopez says, what my dad says, "the thieves were already on the ground when we arrived, two of them knocked out with some bruises and one with a knee injury caused from a knife. The cameras caught what happened and we have had confirms that it's not the first attack from this person, what I say it's that whoever is doing this, it must stop and surrender itself to us. The police is in charge, whoever this person is it's not part of the police department so it's a criminal itself".
My God, my dad is a jerk!
Things never change, he always chased me, I was a bit a rebel when I was a teenager, I never listened to him or my mother. I was always out, I came home always too late to be that young, I went out with people he didn't approve and he got me with joint sometimes. They didn't know what to do with me, they tried to talk to me so many times, but I never listened to them.
It started because of my brother, not that it was his fault, it was nobody fault, but I always felt out of my family, they wanted me to be like him, my brother is like perfect, he was the perfect boy, the perfect student, the perfect boyfriend, yeah that type. He was on top grades at school, than he went to college to be a lawyer, he had a perfect girlfriend and never on trouble, everything I was not.
What I was? A trouble maker!
I barely passed high school, I skipped classes so many times, I hated my professors and they hated me. I'm gay and it wasn't a problem for my family, but sleeping around it was, especially when I flirted with my brother's girls, we fought so many times. He hated me for that, we went to high school together, we're only two years away, so I knew everyone he knew.
The only positive thing it was that I was an happy person, always free and happy and full of joy, things that I'm not anymore. I really made my parents flip once, I was caught stealing from a shop, a shirt, I just wanted to, we didn't have money problem, I was tired of them telling me to be more responsible, more like my brother and to stop my silliness and I just acted of effect, I wanted to do something really silly, not that getting high wasn't enough. The shop's manager stopped me and call my father, he knew I was the detective Lopez daughter so he called him instead of the police, but my dad was so mad that he put me on jail for like four hours before my mom came and told him to free me. I could never forget how mad they were, how they shouted at me and how grounded I was for that.
Anyway they loved me so much, I know what I did was really wrong, but I love them as much they loved me, I was bad and they tried really hard to put some judgement in me, they never stopped because they saw the kind of person I was and they didn't want me to fall in really bad habits.
Anyway, he wants me on jail now so nothing really changed! But come on I was helping, if I were an agent they would be proud of one girl taking down three boys. I put down the newspaper and walk out the room, from today I'm gonna follow Brianna, I wanna see what she does, I know it's hypocritical for me to make her stop smoking, but now I know, now I'm different and I won't let her do my same mistakes, she's better than me.
After a week of following her I learned lots of things, the only bad thing she does it's the joint, she graduated top grades and she won a scholarship for college, she's now studying something like MIT, she's a technology genius. She goes visit Brittany's grave sometimes and she cries everytime, she doesn't really have close friends, but she talks to everyone, she doesn't go out on nights and she stays home mostly reading books. She talked to her parents and she seemed indifferent to them, my dad went to her house yesterday, it looks like they kept in touch, she helped him with something on his pc and then they had dinner together, he left then but I'm happy to see my family it's there for her, she's a lovely girl and she deserves everything in this world.
Anyway she doesn't need me to follow her, I don't need to worry, she just gets high sometimes it could be much worse, and if it gets worse I'm gonna think something about it. Right now I have to think about how to improve my patrol situation, I can't stay up all night running around hoping to be lucky and be where I should be. While I walk away I start hearing something, what's this noise? I stop and look around, nobody is here, I focus and I look up, it's something in the air, after some second I see a drone and it's coming my way. What the hell? Maybe it's just some kid playing, I keep walking and now I'm almost sure it's following me so I turn to the little park, trees are good for this situation, it keeps following me so I hide behind one and the drone comes to me, but when it arrives there I'm already on the tree, I throw a knife on the center of it and it goes flat down on the grass.
I jump down the branch and remove the camera from the drone, then I take it in my hands, who the hell is following me? Then when I turn it I see a name on its side, Brianna.. That little..! She's so fucking smart, I don't know how she found me, but she did so, she's a genius. I take the drone and sit on a bench, what am I gonna do? Does she know who I'm? I go back to her house and I leave the drone on her gate with a note "don't follow me again" then I leave.
Another night patrolling, it's been awhile since the market robbery, I feel it in the air, tonight something it's gonna happen, too quiet. As I predict I see a black car with no license plate on it, I start running, I have to follow it, it stops some block away, I see two men get out of it and making their way to a jewelry, it's closing. They put out their guns and enter, I follow them immediately, I lean on the door and I see them in front of the desk waiting for the manager to put everything on a bag, I kick the door taking them on surprise, I throw a knife to one of the man hand making his gun fall and kicking the other man hand making its fall too.
I shout the manager to run, I hear him push something, since nothing happened I suppose it's the silent alarm for the police, I kick the guns away from them and we start fighting, I'm not worried about two men who are not trained, but I have to move before the police comes here it's a small shop they could get me. I knock the two men out easily and walk out the shop, a police car sees me and starts chasing me, I can hear my dad from the speakers on the car yelling me to freeze. I keep running into the city, taking all the right little streets so I can finally lose them, once I turn in a little corner I see them keep going on, not even the time to think "good" that I hear a movement behind me, I turn and attack immediately the person, I take them for its neck and push it on the wall.
It's Brianna, I immediately let her go and I turn, I hear her coughing and gasp for air, I start walking away when she speaks.
"Santana?".. "Santana?" I stop.
"Why are you here?" I ask trying to change my voice.
"'Cause I want to know who you are"
"It seems you think you already know it"
"Of course I do"
"How?"
"Someone forced my friends to stop selling me joint, thanks for that, and nobody cares about me, I have like no friends a part your brother and father. But they said a woman with dark hair, they specifically said a hot woman kicked our asses and who does it better that Santana Lopez? You told me that yourself long time ago. I know you Santana, I know your body like no one else because I wanted to be like you, we grew up together remember? So when I saw the photos of this mysterious person going around the city and kicking asses I knew it was you. Then I followed you with my drone, one that you own me by the way, and I saw your hair and I was BAHM GOTCHA!"
"How did you find me here?"
"Oh well it was easy, I created a link to the police radio so I could hear their calls and I knew you were going to be there so I just went there, then, well I was a bit lucky, when I heard the sirens I run away and we both knew the best way to hide in this area it seems"
"You're smart"
"It seems so, can you turn around now?"
"Are you sure you want to see who I'm?"
"Well if you're not her it could be really awkward and dangerous, but you could have killed me before my long speech and if you're her then I'm gonna be really happy and relieved"
"You're not gonna be happy" I say turning to her.
"Oh my God" She's shocked, did she really knew? "I thought it was you, but I didn't think it was really possible"
"Were you bluffin?"
"Just a bit, what the fuck!" She runs into my arms and we start crying "It's real right? You're alive and here"
"We should go now, the police it's still around"
We walk in silence, why isn't she asking about Brittany? Is she going to tell her parents? My parents? What am I gonna do now? Why did I reveal my self? Once at her house she makes coffee and we sit on the couch, she looks at me and I feel like I'm ready to cry.
"I know" She says looking down, I keep looking at her "I know she's dead"
"Brianna I'm sorry, so sorry" I start crying and she takes my hand.
"I know, you loved my sister, maybe not as a lover, but you loved her really much" I nod my head "I know my sister, you're here and she would have done everything to come back to me, if she's not here it only means a thing"
"I'm sorry Brianna, I'm so fucking sorry"
"I know, can you tell me what happened? I already know she's dead, I want to know it's how"
I look at her and take a deep breath..
So, this is the first chapther, let me know if you want to read more!
