This was so not what she expected.
Santana was on her way to pick up her little brother Tony but stopped when she saw how some boys were harassing a girl.
She stepped in and told the boys off. The boys were pretty much ready to flee with their tails stacked between their legs. But this one boy, probably the leader, thought it would be funny to give Santana a push goodbye. Normally that push wouldn't have been that bad, but to Santana's never ending luck she hit her head in the fall.
The last thing Santana thought before everything went back was how she was gonna rip that kiss a second hole if she ever saw him again.
When she woke up next she was startled. She didn't recognize her surroundings. She was outside and the sky looked really weird. It was the nicest shade of blue she had ever seen but under the heavenly blue shone in quick phases a deep read and threatening tone through.
As she stood up she noticed she wasn't in her own clothes anymore.
Instead of her skinny jeans, red v-neck shirt and leather jacket she wore rather dark gray sweatpants with a matching dark gray shirt. Her shoes where missing and she was bare foot but the ground under her feet was warm and soft so she didn't mind it much.
All around her she could see wide space and almost no vegetation. In the distance she noticed a huge tower standing tall in the flat land. It's top glowed, kind of like Sauron's tower only that this top glowed a soft blue and didn't give you the stink eye all the time.
A groan brought her out of her LOTR thoughts and she quickly looked around. About twenty feet away from her was a girl with short blond hair and a dark creamy colored outfit, much like her own and groaned as she got up from the ground and looked around. Their eyes meet and Santana's dark brown eyes meet with hazel eyes with a golden shine to them.
The girl's eyes were as confused as she thought her own were. She didn't know where she was, how she got her or even why she was brought her.
She slowly made her way up to the girl.
"Hey." she said carefully. The girl gave her a quick once over.
"Hi," she said her eyebrows furrowed still seizing her up "do you have any idea where we are?" she asked and her voice was really nice. She never thought this much about a voice but this girl had really nice diction and a soft nasal tone.
"I have no idea. The last thing I remember is going all Lima Heights on these guys. I'm Santana by the way." Santana stretched her hand out to greet the girl.
"I'm Quinn," she said as she shook Santana's hand ,"and now that you say it the last thing I remember is driving my car. And I was definitely not wearing this." Why that she pointed with a disapproving look at her sweat suit. Although this situation was more than creepy and weird Santana couldn't help but chuckle at Quinn's distaste of her clothes.
"Yeah well me neither. Where do you think could we be?" Santana asked. She had a slight idea where they could be but didn't want it to be true.
"I really don't know Santana and I think before we make ourselves crazy with guesses we should try to find out more about this place. What do you say?" Santana liked Quinn instantly and now she knew why. She had this HBIC aura around her like. She was as much a Queen Bee as Santana was a self proclaimed "prodigy of badassness".
" I guess it's the best we can do for now. I guess the most obvious destination would be blue tower over there. I mean the terrain is like flat and there is almost no vegetation so we can see what's coming our way and well we just don't have a better spot to start and look for answers."
"Sounds good enough to me. Let's go."
And like that both girls made their way towards the suspicious tower. The tower was pretty far away, which gave the girls enough time to get to know each other better.
Quinn was from Connecticut and had just started at Yale and was in the Creative Writing program. She said she also had the chance to study law but that writing was her passion and she wanted pursue that career. She was twenty one years old and had just planned send one of her manuscripts to a publishing house.
Santana told Quinn about herself, how she lived with her mother and little brother in Lima Heights and went to Ohio State and studied computer science. She knew she didn't look the part but she really enjoyed computers and programming and all that stuff and well maths was just too easy for her so she had been pretty much on top of her class.
About half way to the tower Santana stopped suddenly and started to point to a small kind of reddish spot about 200m away from them. They walked over and found a girl lying on the ground not that unlike Quinn and Santana themselves some time ago. She was rather petite and had long brown hair. She wore the same clothes Santana and Quinn wore just that her clothes were red.
Quinn got on her knees and shook the girl.
"Hey come on wake up. Are you alright?" at the sound of Quinn's voice the girl jerked upwards taking in a huge breath. She looked around frantically.
"Where am I? Who are you? Why..." Santana didn't want to hear this girl rambling anymore because seriously this girl had the most annoying voice.
"Take a chill pill hobbit. We don't know where we are either. Just calm down and tell us if you're alright." the girl still looked like a dear caught in headlights when Santana added, "oh and by the way I'm Santana and that," she pointed to Quinn, who was still kneeling next to the girl ," is Quinn."
The small girl seemed to relax a bit at Santana's words and grabbed Quinn's offered hand to pull her up.
"I'm sorry for rambling but I'm really confused about our whereabouts. And I think it doesn't help to wake up in some strange place. I'm Rachel, Rachel Berry and it's nice to meet you."
"So Rachel, " Quinn asked her , "we want to search around this place a bit more to find out exactly where we are. We are heading towards that tower over there. Want to come with us?" Rachel smiled a huge smile at Quinn, and Santana thinks she saw the blond blush a bit at the smile she was given.
"Thank you guys. I would love to. I don't want to be stuck here all alone."
The girls started walking again and this time they didn't find anyone and only stopped when they reached the huge tower. It was made of white marble and was at least forty meter high. The exterior wall was adorned with pictures of what Santana thought were angels carved in the marvel. It looked absolutely beautiful to say the least. Just as the girls were about to reach the big wooden double doors leading to the inside of the tower the door sprung open and out came the most beautiful woman Santana had ever seen.
She had shining, golden blond hair, pale creamy skin, a very toned body, legs to die for and the most innocent and serene smile. After her initial learning Santana started to notice that those weren't the only striking features of the woman. Santana saw that attached on her back were two giant white wings and her eyes were the most intense shade of blue the brunette had ever seen.
The three girls were all rooted to the spot looking at the woman in front of them. She couldn't be older than themselves.
"Hello travelers," she greeted them , "Welcome to Serpahim Tower. Let me guide you inside." She smiled at them and her smooth voice enchanted Santana immediately. Quinn on the other hand was skeptical.
"Why should we follow you? I mean we just woke up here and don't know how we got here and now you stand in front of us with your big ass wings and want to guide us into some tower. What the FUCK is going on here? And why the hell should I follow you into that tower?" Quinn was yelling at the end of the sentence but the woman's face in front of her still looked calm.
"Well Quinn Fabray I'm sorry that you are so confused but I think you know pretty well where we are.
You three are in Limbo. It's the stage where souls get before it's decided if they are going to heaven or to hell. You are here because you are dead and I'm going to be your guide through the tower to determine where you belong. My name is Brittany and I'm a Seraphim under the order of Archangel Sylvester."
Quinn, Rachel and Santana looked at each other stunned. They were dead and it seems even now their journey has just begun.
