Title: True Colours
Summary: Members of the Glee Club, along with Sue, Becky, Emma and Karofsky, find themselves in a dangerous situation when McKinley high is taken over by an armed gang and a school shooting commenses. As food supplies become scarce and the criminals keep the place in lockdown, the group finds itself becoming more and more desperate and their true colours shining through. Queue lots of angst, tears, sacrafices and selfishness, guilt, pain and, of course, huge declarations of feelings.
Pairings: Finn/Rachel, Quinn/Rachel, Brittany/Santana, Mike/Tina, Sam/Mercedes, Sugar/Artie, Kurt/Blaine, Kurt/Karofsky and Will/Emma.
Warnings: Violence, stong language and scenes of 'sexual nature'
Things you should know: Dave never left McKinley, never tried to hang himself and he's still bullying Kurt. Quinn hasn't been in a car accident, she's perfectly healthy and going to Yale. Finn and Rachel are still engaged, only it's not planned to be as early as after regionals like in the actual show.
A/N: I've wanted to do a school shooting for a while, and to hopefully show some characters up to be who they truly are. So I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter One - Finn.
School started out as normal. Math first period. I think we were doing trigonometery. It's really hard. I honestly don't know Mike's getting A's and Puck can sit there not really listening yet still tell the teacher what X is equal too. I tried really hard to concentrate, but today was just one of those days that I couldn't focus. I kept zoning out on Ms Herman and imagined what would happen if she eventually got to the point were she just had her head filled with so much math, if she filled it with anything else, it would just burst. I had to stop myself from laughing at the thought of her head exploding to stop myself looking too weird. Then I was thinking about this absolutely amazing sandwich my mom had made me for lunch and then before I knew it the bell had gone, signalling the end of class.
Then it was football practise, Spanish, Rachel rambling on about something or another. I don't know what it was exactly, it's kinda hard to keep concentrating once she starts to speak really fast. But she never seems to notice that I'm not keeping up with her, she's normally just too excited about whatever she's telling me. I don't mind that she doesn't notice though. Whatever make her happy makes me happy, right? That seems like something a good fiance would think.
Then Glee.
And that was where it all began to change.
I mean, it started off as normal. Mr Schue gave us a theme of the week, and then Quinn got up to tell us something.
'I got into Yale!' She finally blurted out, her cheeks flushed and her smile as wide as I've ever seen it. I felt my smile widen with her, but for some reason I felt Rachel stiffen beside me. Shock, I guess. Maybe even jealousy, but I'd thought Rachel had grown out of that. But then I remember she hadn't got her letter from NYADA yet and put two and two together. I put my hand on her knee reassuringly and felt her hand close around mine. I looked at her, and she looked at me, only when she smiled she couldn't quite catch my eye. Her attention was quickly diverted away from me when Quinn began a speech. It was a beautiful speech, it really was. And it made so much sense, especially coming from somebody with a past like Quinn Fabray.
But I noticed something: we she said it she wasn't speaking to all of us. She was speaking directly to once person, to Rachel.
'You can't changed your past, but you can let go and start your future.' She ended and people applauded enthusiastically. Members of Glee followed Sam and Mercedes in enveloping her into hugs, patting her on the back, smiling and congratulating her. I looked at Rachel quickly before going to hug her myself, and notice that she again wouldn't meet my eye. Her hand had moved too: it was no longer over my hand, but rubbing up and down her opposite arm quickly whilst she stared at her lap.
Worried, I guessed. Again about not getting her letter from NYADA. It was understandable, but she could at least try to be happy for Quinn. Sometimes I never quite understand the way my girlfriend works. I got up, walked towards Quinn and hugged her, telling her I was proud of her and how much she deserved it after these past two years of nothing but struggle. She thanked me, but moved away to stand a bit further from me than was normal for two friends. I shrugged it off again, and started to walk back to my seat next to Rach, who still hadn't moved from her own, when it began.
The incessant sounds of streaking, like things being shot repeatedly through the air quickly and stealthily. Something that couldn't be ignored. Piercing through the busy hum of McKinley high school, stopping as soon as it had started, and leaving nothing but an impenetrable silence in its wake. I cast a look around at my fellow students and teacher, unable to move a muscle or speak a word. It seemed like the same thing that gripped myself had gripped everyone else too. And I knew from the looks of utter terror on their faces that they had guessed the same as I have.
It was the sound of bullets.
A/N: Thanks for reading guys! Next chapter will be update soon, I hope you liked it:)
