The Choir room was full as Mr. Shue was in another rant about building teamwork and chemistry for nationals since lately it seemed like some of the kids in glee club hated each other which was mostly due to the fact that Quinn had practically refused to sing beside Santana or Sam and Rachel although claimed she was over Finn every time Quinn sat next to the tall boy she sang a ballad with a force and passion that was enough to convince everyone they were in hell.
"Okay class, Today we will be discussing the bonds of family. I know some of you are not on good terms with one another…"
"Maybe if you actually enforced the PDA rules around here there wouldn't be a problem" Quinn mumbled from the back of the room as she stared at Santana who was sitting firmly on Sam's lap as they kissed completely unaware that the whole class was staring at them.
"Break it up you two, this is a learning environment not the back seat of a pick up truck" Mr. Shue said as he pulled another chair from behind him placing it next to Sam as Santana rolled her eyes giving a heavy sigh and took a seat.
"Well since none of you are really willing to try and rebuild that chemistry we used to have I've decided that we should all take a break this weekend, kind of like a vacation" The excitement broke out as everyone clapped hoping they would get to go somewhere fun.
"So where are we going? Disneyland? Miami?" Mercedes said with enthusiasm as she pictured herself drinking a pina colada on the beach side.
"No, not exactly but i promise you it is much better than any of those places… besides our budget is kind of tight… anyways a friend of mine has a mansion just east of the river, he said the house used to be owned by a famous musical teaching institution from years ago so the place has a piano, drums, horns, any instrument you name it they have it, isn't that great?"
The class seemed a bit disappointed that it wasn't out of Ohio but they were grateful, it wasn't every weekend they could stay at a mansion, it could even be fun.
"also i've taken the liberty in inviting Kurt and Blaine, so that they can know there is just friendly competition among us, so i expect the best behavior out of all of you okay" Everyone seemed excited about getting to see Kurt even though Mercedes and Rachel seemed to be the only ones who actually spoke to him besides Finn of course.
"So sign these permission slips and this weekend prepare yourself for a fantastic singing and dancing weekend!"
After all the permission slips were passed out the class left hoping this weekend would pull them together so they could be as close as they used to before all the drama had taken over.
It's six a.m. when the bus arrives at the mansion, the road was long and forsaken, there wasn't another house for miles. The tall blackened gate that had figurines of lions on the top of each spike was intimidating but alluring. Mr Shue took out his clip board as he read the names off the roll sheet, "Okay gather around everyone, Lauren never turned in her permission slip and she wasn't at her home when we went to pick her up so she wont be joining us." Puck let out a groan his obvious disappointment written on his face, he was hoping this vacation would give him the opportunity to finally claim Lauren as his but it seemed impossible now. Mr Shue ignored Puck's grunt and continued, "so just say 'here' when i call your names:
Finn (right here, he said in a mumble as he shoved his hands in his pockets)
Mike (his hand went up catching Mr. Shue's eye as he turned around looking up at the tall building with a pout planted on his face)
Quinn (here, she said with a feigned smile trying to hide the fact she was watching Sam and Santana from the corner of her eye)
Sam (Sam I am, his dorky nature seemed fully intact as he chuckled to himself)
Tina (here, she said as she wrapped her arms around Mike's waist)
Brittany (what? She said completely unaware of what was going on but Mr. Shue regarded it as normal behavior and continued)
Rachel (Present, her tone was upbeat the obvious excitement in her voice)
Puck (Puckasaurus in the house)
Mercedes (that's my name don't wear it out)
Santana (are you seriously wearing another vest, she said as she continued to file her nails)
Artie (this house is dope Mr. Shue)
Blaine (i'm right here)
and Kurt (me too)
"okay well everyone's accounted for, now settle in and at five we will have our first brainstorm session, have fun guys" And with that everyone bolted into the house searching for the best rooms. Mr. Shue just watched as the kids ran into the house excited and he felt that this weekend would truly be great for them. He was hoping they would learn to be there for each other like they used to be and more than that he was hoping for them to become a family again.
Mike and Tina were the first to run up the stairs claiming the biggest master bedroom that looked like the size of the McKinley high gym. They threw their bags on the floor as Mike ran around the room doing back flips from excitement while Tina watched him for a moment but then she made her way outside leaning against the banister staring down below at Artie who rolled himself through the doors. She loved Mike but there was just something about first loves that she couldn't truly get over.
Kurt picked a room down stairs with two beds as Blaine reluctantly strolled along, "room mates?" Kurt said the excitement pouring through his smile and brightened eyes as he ploped on the bed. Blaine only gave an elated smirk resting his bag on the table, "of course, besides now i can finally tell if you're a boxers or briefs man" he said playfully as he sat on the bed across from Kurt's. Laughter filled the room as Kurt threw a pillow at Blaine.
Quinn stands in the middle of the huge doorway looking up at the chandeliers and paintings but her gaze is immediately caught by Sam and Santana who were sitting down on a leather couch in the dining room across from her, their tongues down each others throats, Santana's claws up his shirt and she feels her heart sink. Quinn's eyes soon fall to the ground as she wallows in her own self pity but is immediately surprised when Mercedes loops her arm through hers pulling them both in the direction of the stairs, "Come on baby girl, don't get hung up on that blonde boy, he'll realize he's been acting like a fool and apologize" Her words were comforting but they weren't enough to make the hurt inside her chest subside. They found a room next to Mike and Tina's with three beds. Rachel was already in the room, her perfectly aligned luggage already sorted out into the drawers as she welcomes Mercedes and Quinn, "i'm so glad we could all be bunk buddies, i've already come up with an itinerary for the evening as well as a sleeping schedule and if any of you snore i'd appreciate it if you told me now so i can prepare the wax that i will be shoving into my ears when i sleep" Rachel's smile was wide and Quinn stared in disbelief at the level of crazy Rachel actually was but Mercedes soon cut in, "listen girl, we are not following no itinerary okay, we're just gonna get loose and have some fun" Mercedes sat down on the floor taking her boxes of jewelry out from one of her bags while Rachel sighed but gave a small smile as she brushed by Quinn exchanging a look of endearment as she headed outside hoping to find Mr. Shue and go over the plans for the night.
Finn found a small room that to his surprise had somehow managed to fit two beds but he didn't pay much attention as he looked out the window staring at the trees that surrounded the house. His thoughts were mostly consumed by Rachel even though he would never admit it, he kind of missed her although lately he had been acting like a jerk. His thoughts were interrupted as Sam knocked on the open door, "Hey man, listen Santana said she prefers sleeping alone so could i maybe share your room… i kinda don't want an empty one all by myself, this house freaks me out." Finn nodded his head as Sam threw his bag on the floor and hopped on to one of the beds trying to relax even though he was aware that this room would be filled with nothing but tension. After all Finn was the one who kissed Quinn ruining their relationship, he hadn't forgotten about that and it still stung even if he wasn't dating the blonde anymore.
Brittany stood on the steps of the staircase as she tried her best to drag her luggage across but was failing miserably. Artie was at the bottom sighing as he soon spoke, "Brittany for the last time there is no elevator, i cant have a room upstairs" He sighed, giving up on explaining his incapability of walking to her. "But i want a room upstairs so i can stare out the window at the birds in the trees" she said with a pout that Artie couldn't help but give in to. "fine, i'll just find a room down here, we'll meet up at noon okay" Brittany nodded in victory as she finally managed to get her bag up the stairs.
Santana was leaning against the doorframe to a small room on the other side of all the others her arms folded as she watched Brittany finally make it up the stairs, "Hey Britt, I found a room for us" She said with a niceness that was hardly ever seen. She took Brittany's bag and hauled it inside the small room placing it next her own. Brittany immediately went towards the window where she pressed her face against the glass watching the birds that tweeted from the trees a smile crawling on her face. Santana sat on the bed her legs crossed as she grinned at how happy the birds made the blonde, it was the only reason she chose the room. Brittany soon backed away from the window as she looked around, "there's only one bed San" She said with a dumb found look across her face. Santana rose as she closed the door with a slight bang then walked closer to Brittany, "…oh i am fully aware" a seductive smile soon overtaking her features as their giggles echoed in the hallway.
Puck was standing just outside Santana and Brittany's door as the biggest grin formed on his face, "i guess i'm missing some girl on girl action" He walked across the hall passing by Rachel, Quinn, and Mercedes' room. He stopped abruptly as he saw Quinn and Mercedes sitting on the floor laughing but his eyes were glued to Quinn's smile, it was broken and he felt his heart ache as hers did. Their eyes locked and he quickly kept walking hoping to avoid the awkwardness of it all. He threw his back pack on a dusty sofa sitting down with his shoulders slumped and legs apart exhaling deeply. Already he wished this weekend would be over.
Mr. Shue walked through the door frame hoping to leave his luggage in the small room downstairs when he was immediately met with the fierceness of Rachel who was quick with the questions, "Oh there you are Mr. Shue, i have many concerns, first off what will be served for lunch because i am just considering my fellow glee club members and i've noticed that myself and Noah eat only Kosher meat and Brittany is allergic to peanuts and for some reason Santana really enjoys bread stix but my second concern is whether or not we should all come up with our own lyrics for new songs or maybe we could all gather around in a circle and take turns expressing our feelings through musical numbers and…" She was cut off by Mr. Shue who tried his best to calm her, "Those are all great concerns Rachel but i've already taken the precautions and as far as song choices we will discuss them later, right now just settle in and try and have some fun for once, no worrying and no lists okay" He said with a smile as Rachel seemed disappointed at the lack of structure and hurried back up the stairs to her room.
Mr Shue went to his own room staring out the window as the gates closed, the bus driver would be back in two days to pick them up. "This is going to be a great weekend" He said to himself with a wide smile. Little did they all know what they were hoping to be a few days of goofing off and singing was going to turn into a weekend of trepidation and horror.
Everyone is settling in and unpacking, some are gossiping and trying to take their minds off of others, while some are trying to get some sleep after the long bus ride over, but beneath the floorboards someone is watching them. Someone who knows them all very well and is craving nothing more than the sound of their screams. While they all remain oblivious to the upcoming torturous games, someone continues to watch them taking notes on how to systematically tear them all to pieces.
Okay so I decided to do a horror glee fic. It will have multiple chapters and it will probably contain a lot of cheesy horror movie stuff but I really hope you all enjoy it. This was kind of rushed so please forgive me for incoherent thoughts and errors. I appreciate reviews and input.
