Beauty and the Beast

Puck

Puck stood at his locker talking to Finn when he felt tension in the air and stiffened. He looked around for the source only to find the same kids he saw every day. He shook the feeling off and told Finn to go to class they would discuss the engagement later.

He was walking to the Nurse's Office when he saw a girl that he had never seen before which was very rare in this little town. She was looking down at a piece of paper and mumbling to herself. He noticed her tight jeans, timberland boots, and white tee shirt with a purple flannel shirt over it. She had long chocolate brown hair that was up in a high pony-tail.

"Excuse me Miss are you lost?" He walked up to her with his famous smirk. She was tiny and had to look up at him.

She smiled at him. He was taken aback by how pretty she was. "Yes I'm new here. This isn't the first time I've gotten lost today to be honest."

He watched as her hand started playing with a necklace around her throat. "Where are you going maybe I could help?"

She handed him her schedule. He glanced over it; she was in three of his five classes. "English with Miss Pillsbury. Come on this one is upstairs." She followed him and he noticed she didn't try to flirt with him at all.

They stopped in front of the door, "I didn't get your name." She took her paper back smiling at him.

"I didn't get yours either so fair is fair." She reached for the door handle but he stopped her.

"Puck. Noah Puckerman. You'll hear it a lot in this town just remember who I was today." She smiled at him.

"Well Puck my name's Rachel Berry and you won't be hearing my name ever." She walked into classroom leaving a surprised Puck.

Rachel

She was surprised he didn't smell Hunter on her or maybe it was her size that always threw people off. She was nervous and it was more than first day jitters.

She had woken up to her dad's truck stopping out in front of the school. "Have a good day baby Blaine'll pick you." She smiled at her father as she hopped out just another school on a long list. She looked up at the building remembering why they were here.

Flashback

Blaine, Leroy and Rachel were sitting in a hotel room. They were discussing new cases; Blaine pointed at a spot on the map. "Sebastian said no Hunter goes into this town not even to pass through alone. I think we should check it out."

Rachel looked at their father. "Yeah okay but I think while we're there we'll take a little vacation okay?" They nodded but Rachel had to ask.

"What do you know about this place?" She glanced at her brother before meeting her father's eyes.

He sighed. "It's protected and we technically aren't allowed to go there without asking the Elders. I'll call them. We need a place to stay and rest for a while."

End Flashback

They weren't allowed to hunt, their weapons had to stay hidden at all times and they weren't allowed to talk to the Pack at all. She hadn't broken that rule he had. She was walking out of the school after five classes of boredom. She bounced down the steps as she saw her brother's bike parked at the curb.

She didn't feel the eyes on her as she quickly walked to the boy in black jeans and a Carhart jacket. He handed her a helmet, she hopped on the back and left the gawkers behind.

They arrived at the hotel that was just inside city limits. Blaine waited for her to get off before dismounting his Dyna. "How was your day, did you see the weres?" He said it in a whispered voice.

She laughed. "Yeah, I saw a lot of them actually. I just wish I could hang out in bed all day like you do." She said it with fluttering lashes making fun of him.

"Hey I worked on my bike and I cleaned all the weapons." She walked into the hotel and there laid every weapon they owned on the bed.

"No you didn't I see blood on the machete." She threw her bag on the floor; she had homework but what was the point.

He groaned and picked up the weapon and started cleaning it again. She watched him until she heard a knock on the door. Blaine cussed and started moving stuff. "Chill I got it."

She opened the door and stepped out without looking up. "How can I help you?" She looked up into hazel eyes shit.

He smiled down at her. "My mom sent me over here with some food for your family." He was smiling at her.

"Um Thanks." She took the containers from his hands feeling uneasy about this if her father saw he'd kick her ass. "Tell your mother we appreciate it but she really doesn't have to."

He nodded at her. "I will. Do you need a ride to school tomorrow?" She shook her head.

"Um no actually I'm not going to school tomorrow thanks for asking though." He nodded at her before leaving. She watched him walk across the parking lot to a red Ford truck.

She went back inside to find Blaine staring at her with an open mouth. "That was one. What was he doing here?"

She moved the containers so he would notice them. "His mom sent food over." Blaine hopped over the bed to grab them. She pulled them away. "Go get a plate you animal."

Puck

He didn't know why he offered to take the plates to the Berry family but it had been worth it when she had walked out. He had noticed that she didn't look happy to see him but still smiled at him. When she came out of the room he smelled blood, Axe, and her, it took him off guard.

He didn't know why her room smelled like that and wasn't going to ask her. She looked kind of nervous and kept glancing behind him or toward the road. The next day he noticed she wasn't there so she hadn't lied about not coming to school. He went into the choir room and heard something he never thought he'd hear.

"My abuela said that they asked the Elders for permission to stay and they agreed." Santana was sitting next to Brittany. Puck took his seat next to Quinn who smiled at him.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" They all looked at him shocked he didn't know what was going on for once.

Quinn answered first. "That new girl is a Hunter and her family is staying here for a while apparently the Elders owe the older man something."

Puck became angry he finally realized why she had looked at him like that. "You've got to be fucking kidding me." He stood up grabbing his book bag and left the room.

He headed for the hotel where the Berry's were staying only to find an empty room. He called his mom. "Hey ma where did the Berry's move to?"

He heard his mother sigh. "They're not here to hurt us Noah relax. The daughter is healing from something and Leroy called in a favor from us. To answer your question they moved into the house across the street from us so we could keep an eye on them."

He hung up growling and went home. Pulling in the driveway he got out and looked across the street where he saw a bike and an old Dodge truck. He also saw Rachel standing outside on the phone and pacing. He took a deep breath; he could smell her and undertones of blood.

He started to head across the street when he saw her father come out of the door with a smile on his face. He heard the man ask, "How is he?"

Rachel smiled at him as she placed the phone in her back pocket. "Okay. Keeps wanting to know if I'm still losing a lot of blood."

"And?" The man walked down the steps toward the truck dropping the tailgate. He noticed that both were easy and laughing like they were used to being so close to death.

She shrugged and moved toward her father. "It stops and starts but you know how hard and long it takes for these things to heal." She reached for a box but her father grabbed her hands.

"Go sit down. Rest, I got it. Baby girl." He decided to introduce himself and let this man know he was being watched. He jogged across the street.

"Hey man you need help?" He asked it without inflection in his tone. The man who was muscular and had Rachel's eyes looked at him.

"Yeah if you don't mind, Rachel'll show you were to put them. Oh by the way I'm Leroy, Puck." Leroy walked off with two boxes. He picked up two of the boxes.

"Lead the way princess." He watched as her left arm crossed her body like she was holding something in. She walked into the house with him right behind her and took him to the kitchen. He went back out to the truck and met her at the door and followed her down the hall to an office like room. He was about to head out when he heard Leroy shout, "That's it. Rachel put the office stuff away first."

He watched as she pulled a box cutter out of her pants pocket and cut open a box. She placed the cutter down on a desk and started pulling books out and placing them on shelves. "Here let me." He said it because he saw her wince when her elbow hit her stomach. "Does your dad have a certain way he wants these?"

She sighed. "Yeah by race and then the year the book was written." He raised an eyebrow and looked her. "I know you know so don't even play act with me right down."

He nodded and did as she said with the books. He saw her sit in the floor and open the other box. He finished and saw that she had folders piled up on each side of her. "What are those?"

"All the cases we've worked on. Some are before me and my brother. I've separated the still open and the closed ones. Will you put these on the desk?" He took them, from what he could see there was only ten folders. He placed them down and waited form her to hand him the others which she did and told him to place in a file cabinet behind them.

Rachel

She couldn't help the fact she almost passed out. It had been a long day and she didn't eat lunch. So when she stood up from the floor and started toward the kitchen; her knees buckling from wasn't a big surprise to her. She woke up to Hazel eyes staring down at her.

"These scratches aren't going to heal without the proper herbs. My Nana should have them. I can't believe she's survived this long." That was Noah no Puck. She frowned.

"Yeah we were pleasantly surprised when she woke up without a fever. The bleeding slowed but that's about it. The wounds look infected and won't close. She'll have scars." That was Blaine.

"Why did she go to school if it's this bad?" Puck asked she could hear the frown in his voice.

"The Elders wanted her to and I couldn't disagree or they wouldn't have allowed us to come here." Her father's voice was rough. She felt a hand on her forehead. She shifted, groaning and felt the pain shoot up her back.

She opened her eyes and that's when she saw the hazel eyes looking down at her. "Does it feel like your bones are shifting?"

She sat up pushing the boys away from her. "No. I moved wrong that's all." He father moved forward.

"We need you to be honest with us so we can help you." She shook her head and placed a hand on her stomach.

"No my bones aren't shifting it feels like my wounds keep reopening." She noticed the relief flood Puck's eyes as she said that.

"You should be okay then I'll go see my Nana and get you those herbs." They watched as he stood up and left.
