King Rachel 1/3

Santana's POV

Walking down the hall with my posse (Rulin&schoolin) ...AHH life is good.

Then SHE comes around the corner all bubbly and shit.

I can tell the second she sees us,Her eyes go all dark and she slows up a little,she gets this LOOK on her face. It's not fear or hatred, its more like...wariness is the only way I can describe it. Like she's looking for something.

Then just like that, her head starts to bop like allways ,but her eyes never leave the three of us for more than a second.

Britt says ..High Rach...all happy and smiling, because thats just the way Brittany is you know :-).

Quinn just mumbles Short Stack or something close to that.

But I just had to be me and the first thing out of my mouth is...Mornin Man-Hands stay out of my way today i dont want you ruining it.

...aaannd THERE IT IS!
I knew it, I knew I saw it yesterday- her eyes went black,her breath caught,her stance changed, but it was fast ..real fast. I know no one else saw it, but I was looking for it. And it WAS there..Deadly, yep, Deadly.(And real fucking scary)

OH god I think I just got aroused! I dont fucking believe it, wet for Berry?


Rachel's POV

I had a perfect morning today :-)!

I woke up from a nice dream about Barbra at exactly 5:21.

Brushed my teeth, did my morning routines, and was on my elliptical at exactly 5:29.

Had breakfast (pancakes), sang three songs, and put on my new shoes,then Daddy gave me a ride to school.

Then I just HAD to turn that corner..sigh..oh well it was nice while it lasted (hehe).

The "UNHOLY TRINITY" Ha, if they only knew. haha, It's the one thought I have before SHE opens her mouth and pisses me off.

I look at Quinn who looks a bit bored,,then Britt who is just smiling and softly singing to herself as allways :-),

But then as I look at Santana I see her staring at my eyes... HARD.

Damn, I did'nt guard myself fast enough, she saw it.
Before I could lose my glare she caught it.
Yes I know I have a certian look in my eyes at times,but only a few others in my life have ever seen it.
And now I know, she's seen it twice in as many days..sigh.

I don't know why I've let her catch me unguarded so often, but I seem to be holding on to the feeling a bit to long lately
As soon as I catch her eye, I calm and get my control back...hmm...sigh.

Time to tell Dad I need a week at "Vocal Camp" :-\

But I have a busy day today, with two dance classes, a vocal class, and then helping out at the shelters kitchen tonight.
I'll talk to Dad and Daddy about "camp" after school.
Now though I'd better head out.


Santana's POV

Damn I hate driving through the "REAL" Lima Heights Adjacent at night, but I needed my chronic for the weekend and it was still early enough I knew I'd be home in plenty of time...

So here I am with a flat tire, in THE worst part of town, backed up against a wall,surrounded by five gaint smelly looking BASTARDS with my top torn, a bruise on my cheek, and thinking ..well it was a fun life...tears running down my cheeks.
My arms wrapped around my knees,and crying like a fucking baby.


Rachel's POV

Just finishing up for the night when Sally(she's nice),comes running into the kitchen yelling about, Tazz's gang has someone trapped out back, and she heard crying..girl crying.

SHIT..Oh well, allmost a whole day of peace.
First things first,I tell Sally to finish shutting down for the night before calling the hubby, and then waiting INSIDE untill he gets here.
And yes I'll tell her all about it tomorrow...sigh.

I take off my apron and head out back to (Fix What Needs Fixin) lol I love that one.

I round the corner and take in the scene quickly.
Tazz is standing back a bit against the side wall,three of the others I see are standing over whoever is on the ground up against the wall, just sort of standing there.
Then I see a man I've never seen before,must be a new Ganger.
He's the one talking to the girl...saying some pretty nasty shit too.

In a short little break in the noise, I krik my neck a bit rolling my head over my shoulders.

The effect is emmediate,
Tazz hears it first, jumps away from the wall and yells... STAND DOWN!
His three boys that I know, back up.. go behind him.. and just stop.. they stand there, eyes darting, just looking around...watching.

This one I don't recognise, He's 280 maybe, and built solidly and a bit MEAN looking.
He turns around to see all four of his new friends just sort of standing a bit behind this 'TINY LITTLE GIRL'...and he laughs...

I took him down in under 3 seconds. hahaha easy too.
Hmm I don't like resorting, but he was a bad one..I could smell it. He had to go :-(.


Santana's POV

I'm not really sure of whats happening now.
One second there's a wall of meat standing over me,then I hear a sharp STAND DOWN and all of a sudden I have a fairly clear view.
Exept for the one that had hit me,and he was busy telling me all the ways he was gonna" hurt cha"..then he turns ..and he laughs.

I turn to see what he's laughing at... And I see...Rachel?

"Little Rachel Berry", Standing there with her fists all up on her waist, looking all mad and shit.
She looked at the big one, (the leader I think)- softly says STAY...and dissapears... thats all I can think of, one second she's standing back there and the next she was on him. I hear I little popopop and he falls down like a wet noodle.

It's quiet, Then I snap out of the shock and I start to shake.
Oh it's there now,
I can feel the fear getting to me and I start to cry what seems like rivers.
Berry's immediataly standing there next to me, talking soft trying to get me to calm down.

I hear a soft (It's ok Sanni), you just wait here and I'll be right back,OK?

Then I see the strangest thing I've ever seen..little Rachel Berry walking towards these four big men.
And THEY look scared,not just normal scared either,like shit-eating scared.
The big one steps up just a bit and starts rambling on about.

{ He was a new guy, just up from Tampa, didn't know the rules,got drunk and then hit this girl and tore her top, it all happened so fast I couldn't stop it,I was just about to when you came}.
Then he stepped back in line real quick and stood there with his head down.

Then I heard it...Rachel's Voice...Holy Shit I just got wet..again...her voice is deep,
It's got a little rasp to it when she says.
Get 'THAT' out of here and fix her tire 'NOW'...and then she TURNS HER BACK on them like they don't exist.

She turns to me and starts walking, and looks at me... and there it is,
That LOOK , In her eyes, It's not the same deadly look though, its more of a calm look...it's scary in a whole new way,
Then her eyes go to the first look, then to ...resignation?
Then out pop the bubbly eyes I see every day at school,and she's bouncing about on her heels like everythings all normal and shit..WTF?


Rachel's POV

Damn! Not sure how I'm gonna handle this one, There's not a chance I can cover what Santana just saw,she's going to start asking questions as soon as the shock wears off.

There's no way she's going to be able to reconsile what just happened and what she sees every day at school...SIGH..Well first things first,make sure she's ok then get her home,I'll just act like it's nothing special and see how this goes.

-
Santana, you ok?
Mmm,Yes I think so.
Can you stand up for me?
Yes I think so(stands up slowly)
OK let me see you..ahh a little smack to the face huh? (a little smile)
Yes and it hurts..a lot (wipes the last of her tears away)
K, You just wait here for me for a second, OK?
Mmhmm.

Santana's POV

This Rachel is...Different,She's treating me like a child,not like the bitch she knows that I am. Like normal and shit, there's no wariness there,It's more like...Care. Thats what it is all right...CARE.

She tells me to wait here for just a second,I'm scared, I don't want her to leave, not even for a second,but I just nod my head and sit and wait.

I see Rachel turn around and it's THERE again. That voice.
She starts talking to the big one about tires or something, I'm not really sure, that's all I can hear is that VOICE and it sends chills into me...deeeeep into me, like bone deep.
I'm not sure but I think I just fell in LOVE with Rachel Freaking Berry...OH SHIT.


Rachel's POV

OK! I have all I need here, so I tell Tazz to get the tire fixed and clean the area up.
It 's time for me to get Santana out of here and call my dads to tell them I have a ride.

I help Santana into the passenger seat and buckle her up,hehe a bit surprised she just goes where I move her without even a peep.

As I'm about to close her door I hear a little soft... RACH?

-
Yes Santana?
