This is semi written in the killers perspective, i'm sorry it's so crappy but bare with me. Hope you enjoy it, i'll update soon.
Look at them, completely unaware of what's to come. They don't value the things they have, the secrets they keep from one another bring the very concept of friendship into shambles and the things they refuse to say make it that much easier to toy with them. Despite the fact they all contain flaws they do have their strengths, strengths that will belong to me. They say when you kill someone, when you take their life, a part of them stays with you, almost to haunt their unavenged deaths, but i'd like to think they become a part of me.
Studying your victims is the first part of any operation, getting to know the enemy, their flaws, their strengths, their every little movement. And so i began watching, observing, waiting.
Rain begins to pour from the sky forcing everyone to stay indoors. Sam finds comfort on the small bed with his hands behind his head as he attempts to find solace in a nice nap before everyone meets up later. Through the cracks in the walls it could be seen, the sadness that covers his face is apparent. He has been lying to himself for weeks now. His heart doesn't belong to Santana, everyone knew that, but more than anything he loved Quinn with an undying passion that seemed obvious the way he would always glance at her when she pretended not to care Santana was in his lap or playing with his hair. Sam contained something I wanted, heart. His compassion for everyone was unwavering, the way he accepted Kurt even agreeing to sing a duet with him knowing he was gay. Sam would give his life for any glee member in this house in an instant without any thought, even Finn. And we all know how much Sam has begun to hate Finn but something in the way he kindly asked to stay in Finn's room makes me understand that with so much compassion he is also capable of forgiveness. But not all of us can be so understanding and absolving.
Finn sits on the floor trying to fix the old television that sat in the corner of the room and with no luck he throws the remote on the floor out of frustration. I can tell he feels the guilt deep within his stomach crawling its way up. He shouldn't have broken up with Rachel over that kiss, he knows it, she knows it, everyone knows it but it seems too late for apologies by now considering Rachel is on an independent streak. Finn rises from the ground walking out of the room heading downstairs to the main room as he calls out for Puck and Mike, trying to bring everyone together. He was a natural leader, an admirable quality in a person. I hope one day i could be somewhat in charge of a group with an amount of ease that makes it seem natural, and i think that day may be sooner than i planned.
Mike and Tina on the other hand have something else that i wish i did and that was persistence. They managed to have a healthy and stable relationship, sure they had fights like any other couple from eating dinner solely at asian places to Tina's obvious inability to move on from Artie. They seemed happy, even now they wore smiles as Mike tried to teach Tina a few dance moves.
Moving on, i lurked beneath the floor boards where i could see the two former cheerios being a little more than just friends in their locked room. It was obvious they were more than just best friends, whether or not they would ever label it was another thing all together. The blondes legs are smooth, long, and begging to be touched as she lay there sprawled across the bed with the Latina right beside her. Always beside Santana, that was how it had been for the last two years. Brittany was the very embodiment of loyalty, the way she stuck by Santana during the worst of times even when she probably shouldn't have. Her level of devotion couldn't match anyones. If Santana said sex wasn't dating then Brittany interpreted it as truth and no one could tell her otherwise. Some may have thought she was naive or easily swayed but that was never the case. She would forever be attached to Santana in a way that hardly anyone could understand, but i could see the way the blonde stared at the Latina, the way her fingers craved her affection. Brittany was in love with Santana Lopez and even though i could see those three words desperate to leave her tongue she would hold back knowing Santana would never allow it or reciprocate it. She made sure not to disobey Santana knowing the consequences would be dire and more than that she knew it would only cause them to drift.
Which brings me to the feisty little Latina who always seems to have something snarky to say about everyone. Her tough exterior was a facade a mere shield to hide her emotional instability, raging jealousy, and undying love for a certain tall blonde. I've watched the way she protects Brittany from everything. She took lower level courses so she could be in the same class as the dim witted blonde and even did Brittany's spanish homework throughout the semester. When someone called Brittany stupid she made sure they would never be able to speak again. People thought she was a bitch and they may have been right but there is an ends to the means and her bitchy attitude only compensates for how weak she was when Brittany lingered around her. Showing emotions was something she refused to do as if it would cause not only her own destruction but also Brittany's. Santana the protector, Santana the defender, Santana the hopelessly fragile girl with nothing more but a heart that only becomes delicate in the presence of a slow blonde. I could only hope for a friend who would be willing to do anything for me, just the thought of feeling secure and calm knowing i had a knight in a skimpy skirt to safeguard me was a feeling i cant even begin to describe.
Before i get carried away i'll bring my attention to Puck. Puck has always been seen as the self proclaimed badass of McKinley, little does everyone know how truly sensitive he is. I've grown to like Puck, the way his intentions always seem to be good but his actions are never as qualified. It's obvious he has been trying to do the right thing, when he tried to give Quinn money to take care of the baby or how he even let her stay with his family. Yet everyone seems to focus on the fact that he stole his best friends girlfriend or that he went to juvie. If people paid more attention maybe they would see how much of a caretaker he is, the way he sticks up for glee when just a year ago he was throwing kids into dumpsters. His evolution goes unnoticed. He used to be just a stupid jock but now he has become a strong voice of the losers he used to pick on. He surprised even me with the amount of kindness he showed to Rachel, Rachel the girl who never seems to shut up and has kids wanting to light themselves on fire. Why would Puck show any kind or consideration to someone like her? It's simple really, he unlike the others can appreciate Rachel's voice and personality. No one see's the way Puck is capable of change, always improving himself even when obstacles get in his way.
Rachel, the girl who just seems much too big for McKinley is also the girl with the most determination. She knows what she wants and will do anything to reach her goal. That kind of assurance is something i could only sit from afar and admire. She is much more than just an amazing voice, she also has the strength to leave Ohio and become a star despite her recent fallbacks. No one truly gives her the respect she has earned and deserves and she just lets them treat her the way they do because she's being a good friend. But these people, they aren't her friends, she could be so much more than this glee club if only she could let go of them. Rachel is a girl that i've grown to not only admire but love.
Quinn on the other had is someone i cant help but loathe. She had everything the quarterback boyfriend the head cheerleader position but she gave it all up for what? A few wine coolers and a boy with a mohawk? She was pathetic but she always seemed to get what she wanted in the end. Such an innocent face that remains a lie. She cheated on both of her boyfriends and gave up her baby, her flesh and blood. People feel bad for her, they pity her, but me I cant help but look at her with disgust. Systematically destroying Quinn Fabray would be easy because she had already began to destroy herself.
When people see Artie they see nothing more than a nerd in a wheel chair but when i look at him i see a string voice being held back because of his handicap. Artie has a far better voice than any other guy in the glee club yet he never get's the male lead vocals at sectionals or regionals. His ability to say nothing about that shows his level of dedication, not wanting to start a fight or risk tearing up the club. Although he has a good voice he is blind to the obvious. He must know that Brittany isn't in love with him, that she doesn't care about him the way he cares about her yet he refuses to break up with her because what, she's a pretty girl? Artie should cut his losses, he doesn't need dumb blonde to hold him back because in the end she would only break his heart.
Kurt is the most courageous of the group even though some may think he is weak and fragile he proves to be the only one willing to fight for his beliefs and the things he wants. Just to be a friend of his would be an honor knowing he would do anything for them. He has been through the most, he knows what pain is, the way Karofsky bullied him would be enough to make anyone crack but not Kurt, Kurt who shines with bravery and courage, Kurt who never falters. He will be the most difficult to have.
The clock reaches five as the students find themselves reluctantly meeting in the dining room waiting for Mr. Shue to arrive with the lesson plans for the rest of the weekend. Sam is still asleep in his room as Finn, Puck, and Mike are working on a new song downstairs. Tina, Mercedes and Quinn are on the leather sofa talking about the latest episode of one tree hill and Rachel is standing by the old grandfather clock counting the seconds that Mr. Shue is late. Meanwhile Kurt sits on the floor trying to convince Blaine to have the warblers change outfits at regionals. Santana and Brittany sit on the love seat, the blonde twirling Santana's luscious brown hair as they wait.
Mr. Shue finally arrives out of his room with a stack of papers as he looks at the students gathered in the dining room, "well it's nice to see you guys came on time" He says with an elated smile as he lays the papers down on the table.
Rachel immediately cuts in with her usual bossy attitude, "And i wish i could say the same for you Mr. Shue, you are precisely three minutes and twenty eight seconds late."
Mr. Shue lets out a heavy sigh, he's already used to Rachel's behavior and ignores it, "Okay class well I've already drawn up some song selections and I think-" The lights begin to flicker causing complete silence among the students until they turn off completely.
"Okay nobody panic, I think the storm must have shut down the power lines. There's a generator in the back. Finn, Puck, grab some flashlights and help me out okay" Mr. Shue said before he headed towards the font door. Puck and Finn followed behind him as they went out in the rain hoping to find the generator.
Meanwhile the girls found candles but were disappointed when they had no matches. It was raining hard and to say the least they were a bit scared. Tina clutched Mike's arm as they walked towards the window while Santana stood up with her arms crossed, Brittany right beside her. Rachel was clamoring through drawers looking for supplies as if they were in the apocalypse ready to die. Quinn rose from her seat beside Mercedes as she spoke in a worry, "Wait you guys, where is Artie?" She didn't realize it earlier when they all arrived downstairs that he wasn't there and she began to grow anxious. "Brittany have you seen him?"
Brittany shakes her head as everyone begins to panic. Kurt stands up trying to calm everyone, "I'm sure he's fine, he probably went to look around the place." Santana steps to the center of the room uncrossing her arms as she looks to Kurt, "he's in a god damn wheelchair lady face, how far could he really have gotten?" Santana's words brings anxiety into the whole room as everyone begins to feel as if something bad has happened.
The lights begin to flicker again as they all look towards the front door hoping to see Mr. Shue and the other two boys. The door swung open as Puck came barging in, his jacket soaking wet from the rain.
"Where's Finn and Mr. Shue" Tina asks still holding on to Mike.
"I don't know they went to the back of the house to turn on the generator and I heard Finn scream and then the door to the back room closed so I got the hell out of there" Puck said with a spark of fear in his voice as he shut the door behind him making sure to lock it.
Rachel hands Puck a dry towel as she walks to the center of the room beside Santana, "Something is wrong, something is terribly wrong. We have to go and find Finn and Mr. Shue and make sure they are alright" She couldn't bear knowing something bad had happened to Finn, despite the fact they were not together she still cared about him.
Santana broke through the silence as she raised her voice, "Okay veronica mars how about you go look for your boyfriend outside in the cold dark rain where there might just possibly be a serial killer and all of us will stay right here in the safety of these four walls" Santana had watched enough horror movies to know when not to go searching for someone and this was one of those moments.
Before Rachel could even begin her rebuttal the lights went off causing everyone to shutter.
"Everyone stay calm, I'm sure the lights will co-" Mercedes' voice was cut short as everyone tried to search for one another in the darkness. A loud thump resonated within the room but it was much too dark for anyone to know what was going on.
The lights finally went back on, they were dim but they were bright enough for everyone to see the body hanging from the ceiling.
Quinn screams, it echoes throughout the halls and the rooms as they all stay silent looking up at the chandelier that Mercedes hung from, She wasn't even gasping for breath, the rope that had been wrapped around her must have snapped her neck killing her. Everyone was in a state of shock as they stood their completely traumatized and unable to move.
Kurt covers his mouth as tears begin to stroll down his face. His best friend is up there dangling and all he could do was watch, Blaine put a comforting hand on his shoulder almost to reassure him he wasn't alone.
"Holy shit, what the hell is going on!" Puck yells as he watches with the others as Mercedes just swings gently back and forth.
Rachel grabs Puck's hand as if it would ease the fear that caused her whole body to tremble. Similarly Brittany reaches for Santana's hand and it is the first time Santana actually lets her intertwine their fingers.
The lights flicker once more and then completely go out sending everyone into a panic. The front door opens with a bang as the rain begins to fill the doorway. All the girls scream trying to hide their obviously scared shouts but were unable to. Everyone begins to run in all directions out of fear, completely separating from one another. They knew they should have stuck together but in a moment of panic nothing makes sense and their minds were scattered.
