Reunion
Plot summary: The year is 2022 and The New Directions are about to gather for their 10 year high school reunion. The group believes that Santana is dead after she went missing but little do they know Santana was turned into a vampire before she was supposed to start college.
It was a late night at a Cincinnati night club, people were dancing and flirting. The bartender watched all of this. She envied the people out on the dance floor and she envied the couples both gay and straight embracing each other and showing signs of affection. She had a true love like that once. The thoughts of Brittany and her glowing blonde hair and pretty green eyes came into her mind.
Around 1 a.m., her shift ended. People around the bar knew her as Antonia. But the name given to her in human life was Santana. Santana a name that different meanings in Hispanic Catholic communities. Some considered a variation of Santa Ana which in English meant Saint Ann, mother of Mary. Or considered the meaning to be holy.
Santana Lopez was never holy in her human life. She had a reputation of bullying others to keep her popularity. But there was one person who brought out the best in her, and that was Brittany S. Pierce. She was the love of Santana's life.
Santana came home to her dark apartment which the Good Vampire Network had provided for her. She drank a little bit of packaged blood and headed into her coffin. On the inside of coffin she kept a flashlight. She closed the lid after climbing in and turned on the flashlight on the top of the coffin was a picture of her beloved Brittany taped onto it.
She often thought of the past and this night she thought back to graduation night back in 2012. She and Brittany had come out to the school and most people had accepted it. They loved each other deeply and both worried about the future causing a breakup. Santana had been accepted into several colleges and finally decided to attend her father's alma mater, University of Miami. Brittany decided to attend cosmetology school.
"The night of graduation was a huge party at Rachel Berry's. The Glee club drank and remembered the past. Brittany and Santana sat outside on Rachel's back porch looking up at the stars.
"I can't believe we finished high school today." Santana said.
"I know." Brittany said feeling a bit down.
"What is it? Santana said.
"I worry about us. What if we can't last having a long distance relationship." Brittany said.
"Don't worry, once you finish cosmetology school you can come down to Miami and we will be together all the time."Santana said putting her arms around her.
"I hope so". Brittany said.
A few weeks later, Santana flew to Miami for orientation. Her parents were supposed to go with her on the same flight, but a work obligation for her father changed the plans. Instead Santana flew to Miami by herself and to be joined by her parents the following day.
Upon arrival in Miami, Santana was in awe of the beautiful city. She managed to sneak into a night club with a fake I.D. There she had fun and got cell phone numbers from guys and girls. She was only hoping for friendship from the girls, her belonged to Brittany. She didn't know that he was watching her.
Around midnight she left the club and started to walk down to her hotel room. He grabbed her from behind and took her an ally. She struggled and he held her against a wall and then she saw the fangs come out. She screamed a bit and then he opened his mouth wide and bit on the side of her neck. He drained her and turned into a vampire. She awoke in his lair and screamed.
She saw him standing near the bed and she was able to get a better view of him. He was tall and had dark hair and piercing green eyes.
"Hello my progeny." He said.
"What did you to me." She asked in fear. The fangs came out again
"You are vampire." He said.
"What you are fucking with me ?, She said.
He dragged her out of bed and dragged her to a table in which she saw a wine glass filled with blood. He put the glass her near and her fangs came out. She cried in horror.
Her maker's name was Hunter Kennedy. He had been a vampire for 150 years. He had been turned shortly after arriving in America from Ireland. He was extremely cruel vampire. He decided to turn a young woman every five years and train her to be a killer. But with Santana he failed. She refused to kill and only drank packaged blood. Eventually they parted ways and Santana was alone.
A year later after being turned, she managed to make it to New York. There another vampire, Jenna spotted Santana one night breaking into a blood bank to steal blood. Jenna revealed herself to Santana and told her about the Good Vampire Network. The Good Vampire Network was underground movement of vampires who had either given up killing innocent people or didn't want to kill. They feed on human volunteers, or drank packaged blood or animal blood. The only killings of humans that the organization ever did were those of people who deserved it like rapists, child molesters and people who have harmed the innocent. They had deep ties into the government which allowed members to change identities whenever needed. Santana became Antonia Martinez to the human world. Santana and her new vampire friends kept track of her friends and relatives through the Internet. They learned that Santana had reported missing to the Miami police 48 hours after she didn't meet up with her parents. Search parties happened and the local media in both Lima and Miami covered the story. Brittany had been interviewed by papers and news stations.
Santana had once watched one interview online that had been archived on the news station site. In the video, Brittany was interviewed in Lima. She looked tired. The news reporter visited her in her home. Santana managed to make a copy of the interview onto a hard drive and she watched it often just to hear Brittany's voice.
The interviewer, sat down on the front of Brittany's house. Brittany had been wearing a custom t-shirt with Santana's face on it that said missing.
"Now Miss Pierce. Tell me how has it been since your girlfriend went missing three months ago." The female reporter asked.
"It's been difficult, I hope Santana is alive out there and hope somehow she can come back to us. Please Santana come home if you are watching this or if someone is holding her please let her go." Brittany pleaded.
Back in the coffin, Santana wept thinking about the past. She tried not to but she thought about her past often. In the past ten years she moved around frequently, working night jobs like bar tending or sometimes caring for people in nursing homes. At the bars, owners noted that she looked like an 18 year old but since she had legitimate government ID's, they believed she was older than 18 and allowed her to work. Santana sometimes laughed that she was really 28. The year before she decided to come back to Ohio because it was familiar to her. She was about two and a half hours from Lima. But she never drove up to Lima. She thought about it countless times. She imagined seeing her hometown again even though it would have to be at night. Three years before, her parents Miguel and Sonya made the painful decision to have Santana declared dead after seven years of being missing. Santana was informed of this by a GVN member who had ties to the vital statistics offices in Ohio. Santana felt there was some truth to her parents decision, their child was dead in a way.
Finding out about the reunion
The next night was Santana's night off from the bar. She had her laptop on the couch. She went on a McKinley's alumni's site. On the homepage, she noticed a large banner announcing the reunion of the class of 2012. She sighed in a weird way. She went to the next web page which detailed the reunion information. The reunion was going to he held at the high school in a few months and she cried when she a "In Memory" tribute to her.
Santana made the decision to go back to Lima to see somehow see her old friends from afar without revealing herself. She wanted to see Brittany one more time. Santana would have to plan her trip carefully and find ways to hide herself from the people of her human life.
