"A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness."
John Keats
"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams."
Ashley Smith
Chapter 1:
For centuries, the Salvatore brothers have lived amongst the rubbled town of Cashton Falls. Hidden amongst the dark forest surroundings, the identity of those living there remain a secret.
"Are we ready?" Mr Schuester yelled amongst the loud chatter of the glee club.
The club scanned the bus and each replied with a quick nod. Mr Schuester then looked to the bus driver, giving a signal that they were ready.
The team were travelling to Sectionals, held a few towns over. With the tightness of budget, the club were able to afford the cheapest and dirtiest bus to take them.
"Man hands get out of my face because it's starting to get exhausting to look at you." Santana retorted as she finished with a cringe.
"Yeah RuPaul, Finn is mine and mine only." Quinn stated protectively, as she kissed Finn.
The rest of the club as usual, laughed in reply to Santana's statement whilst Mr Schuester looked at them each disapprovingly. As per usual the trip required another chaperone, which in this case is Miss Pillsbury who decided to meet the team at a station to meet up.
As the bus came through the rubbled, secluded town of Cashton Falls, the bus came to a serious halt sending the driver and the passengers flying forward.
"Is everyone okay?" Mr Schuester asked with concern vivid in his tone.
"What's going on Mr Schue?" Sam questioned.
"I have no idea Sam. I need Finn, Puck, Sam and Mike to come with me to check out the bus. The rest of you though, stay put!"
As as majority of the guys left the bus the girls sat hunched together as the bus was now filled with the icy cold winter air.
"Well isn't this just fucking dandy." Santana muttered angrily.
"Mr Salvatore, a bus has just been reported at the Oldmoore woods. Would you like us to investigate?" Damon Salvatore licked his lips at the thought of fresh blood.
"Yes Cassie, bring them back and we'll decide what to do with them later." Damon dismissed her as he joined his little brother in the parlour.
"There has been a sighting of a school bus near Oldmoore, up for some fresh blood little brother?" Damon smirked as Katherine braced the two with her presence.
"Did someone say fresh blood?" Katherine asked seductively as she wrapped her arms around Damon.
"You know it." Damon grabbed Katherine playfully as Stefan glared.
We can't fix the engine with out the proper tools, so we've got no working engine and we've got four flat tyres." Finn stated as the guys hopped back on the bus.
"So what do we do now, sit here and wait till someone finds us? Lets face it, we'll end up dying here so we might as well get used to the idea." Quinn had lost all hope and was now sitting motionless.
A knocking on the window startled the club from their hysteric state.
"Hi I'm Cassie and I have a property not so far away... So if you'd like you can come stay with me until you can get help?" Cassie brushed her blonde locks away from her face as she smelt fresh blood amongst the group.
Mr Schuester glanced amongst the group of young adults. He only wanted the best for the students and was unsure whether to trust Cassie.
"We'll be fine, I'm sure they're
sending out help just as we speak." Mr Schuester smiled back at Cassie as the rest of the group groaned.
"What the hell Mr Schue, we've got no food, water or any warm clothes. We're all stuck in some ghost town and now you're giving up the only way of getting out of here. Well done..." Artie finished as the group nodded.
"Looks guy we just can't go trusting the first stranger we see. I've made the decision and that's final." Mr Schuester sighed, head in hands as the club argued back.
As the day turned to end, the bus was getting colder and the conditions were getting worse.
"Mr Schue we need to try atleast look for help tomorrow, because we can't continue on like this. It's freezing cold and all we've got is a few snacks and a bottle of water each. We'll be lucky to see next week."
"I know... Look I'll take a few of the guys and we'll go look around this town for help. Just hang in with me guys..." Mr Schue stated as the stress washed over him. He had no idea what to do anymore.
"Damon, I'm going to need some back up tomorrow to bring all the humans back... They decided to play it the hard way."
"Very well Cassie, my brother and I will accompany you tomorrow with a few others and we'll use them as slaves for the time being." Damon motioned for Cassie to leave as he sat on his bed.
Things were just about to get interesting... He thought, with a smirk evident on his face.
As the morning sun glistened through the narrow windows of the bus, the club arose. Sleeping arrangements had not been entirely comfortable and most of them complained about sore backs.
"I'll take the boys and we'll go do some exploring around the town. No one leaves the bus for what ever reason! You have been warned and I expect you to follow my rules. The girls nodded with most of them being half asleep, they then decided to return to their peaceful slumber.
The knocking on the bus window startled two of the girls, Quinn and Rachel. The two girls locked each other in the eyes, clearly unsure what to do in this circumstance. Quinn being the stronger one of the two, stood up cautiously to investigate. When she saw Cassie she sighed with relief, this girl doesn't give up, Quinn thought with a humorous laugh.
She opened the door and began,
"Look Cassie we don't want to accept your invitation, so run along like-..." Quinn let out a strangled scream as she felt a pair of arms rip her off the bus.
"Feisty, I find that sexy." Damon whispered in Quinn's ear as he had her pinned against her chest.
"Quinn are you okay?" Rachel asked with concern in her voice as she walked to the stairs. She saw Quinn's shoe dropped on the bus stair and screamed as she was dragged off the bus and onto the roof.
"HELP!" She screamed as she kicked and punched her poor attacker. She then spotted Quinn in the same position with a fist stuffed in her mouth to shut her up.
"What are you going to do to us?" Rachel asked as she stared into the hazel eyes of her attacker.
"Well it wouldn't be that fun if we told you our plans now, would it be?" Quinn's attacker replied as Quinn continued to punch and kick with all her energy inside her.
As they walked hidden, inside the forest's entrance, a black mustang came clear into view. Quinn was thrown into the back seat whilst Rachel was gently placed along with Quinn in the back.
"You're too soft, brother." Damon said as he sped along the cobbled stone road.
Exhaustedly, the girls curiously glanced amongst the town. As they grew nearer to their destination, they were astound by the town's historical beauty.
The car stopped at a breath taking estate situated in the heart of the forest, impossible to find but extraordinary to see.
Once again, the girls were ripped out of their place, but this time were thrown over the backs of their kidnappers. As the walked through the estate, fear washed over them as eyes followed their every move. They were taken to an old room filled with dust and broken floorboards. The door locked with a click and the two girls clutched each other.
"We're screwed..." Quinn stated as they were enveloped in darkness.
But after all, Everything Is Not What It Seems...
