Santana was kind of perplexed. If what Brittany said was true she was really dead. She would never get to go to Breadstix again, never see her best friend Puck and... oh god. She would never see Tony again. She was on her way to pick him up so if she really was dead no one would be able to make it to get him. He would be all alone and possibly crying. Her heart clenched when she thought about her little brother being all alone in the world. Up until a few years her grandmother helped her care for her little brother but since she came out her grandmother cut all ties to her and left Tony to decide for himself who was more important to him.
He chose his big sister. And since then she was the only one that cared for him. Her father died when Santana was young and her mother was a doctor so she was rarely home and that left Santana to care for Tony. Every day when she came home after school she would start making dinner and then pick Tony up from school. They ate together and then it was homework time for both of them. After that they either went to play in the park or stayed in and played or watched a movie. It was often pretty draining for Santana to manage her brother, school and glee club but she always managed. And well she just really loved her baby brother so she didn't really mind kind of raising him.
Santana was still thinking when a hand gripped her own and squeezed hard. She looked up and saw Quinn still looking at Brittany.
"So girls will you follow me or do you rather want to stray around in Limbo longer? I can guarantee you that all that's out there is grass and flat land. Well perhaps you'll see a unicorn but they are rather shy so going with me is your best shot to move on." Brittany's voice seemed to vibrate inside Santana and she felt the urge to follow the girl/angel wherever she wanted her to so she moved and pulled Quinn behind her.
"Where do you think you are going Santana?" Quinn hissed as she was pulled up to Brittany. Rachel had grabbed Quinn's other hand and just tagged along.
"Well I don't want to go Unicorn chasing so I think it's best to follow her. I mean really it sounds crazy what she says but it would make sense that we are dead. I mean look at where we are, our clothes and the weird way we kind of did something dangerous before we came here." Santana tried to reason but Quinn was still unwilling to go.
"What the fuck? Santana I was driving my fucking car. I mean if I was unconscious they could have taken me anywhere!" Santana laughed at that.
"Well Quinn interesting that you don't even know how you could have gotten unconscious. Don't you get it ? You probably crashed. Oh and I can't wait to hear why the hobbit is here?" Rachel looked uncomfortable that the focus was now shifted to her.
Santana shot her a look that said "spill it hobbit" so she did.
"Well I was swimming until I kind of got a bad cramp and the next thing I know is waking up here with you two there." Santana nodded.
"Well that works. The midget drowned, Quinn got in a car crash and.. wait how the hell did I die? I mean this guy pushed me and I fell. And really? I mean I know I landed on my head put it was a rather slow fall and..." She was still mumbling when Brittany stepped in.
"You are right Santana Lopez the impact on your head wouldn't have killed you under different circumstances. But you had an aneurism in your head. And it burst when you hid you head and you died of that aneurism."
Suddenly Santana started to laugh kind of like a madwoman. Quinn and Rachel looked terrified and even Brittany lent her head a bit to the side like a puppy that didn't understand something his owner was doing. A curious look on her face. But Santana was still laughing and it took about five minutes until her laughter subsided and she was able to choke some words out. "My mother is a neurosurgeon and I said that I had some bad headaches sometimes and she never even looked at it. And I never had time to go to the doctors. How ironic." She was now shaking her head and balling her fist.
Santana took some deep breaths and looked over to Quinn and Rachel.
"So I think now that we have got that thing right we can all agree that we are really dead? Because I kinda don't want to wander all around Limbo I'd rather follow Britt here into this tower and see what's going on there. Are you coming or not?"
Quinn and Rachel looked terrified and clung to each others hand desperately and looked both kind of white but still nodded and followed Santana and Brittany who we're already a little a head of them marching up to the tower.
The large wooden door was still wide open and Brittany kind of floated graceful up to it. Santana was right behind her and a few steps behind her the "Faberry-Cuddle-Party".
If you like stark contrasts you should visit a seraphim tower Santana thought when she entered the big marble tower. The inside was dark and she couldn't see anything. She followed the light glow of Brittany's wings and thought about how this may have not been her best idea. She shouldn't trust girls just because they are hot and have white wings. Just as she was about to just turn around and run away into the darkness lights flashed all around her. At first Santana was blinded and had to put her hands up to shield her eyes from the sudden brightness. When she could see more or less she looked around and saw Quinn and Rachel still clutching each other about two steps to her left.
Santana supposed since she just went into the big tower she would find herself in some kind of great hall but instead they were in a rather small room. It kind of looked like a posh directors office. The floor was plastered with dark wooden boards. The walls where painted white in contrast to the floor which gave the room a kind of eerie atmosphere. Santana kind of stood in the middle and to her right was a large trophy cabinet filled to the brim with well trophies. If Santana was honest the whole room was full of cabinets with trophies, the only place that was trophy free was in front of Santana. Because there was huge desk made out of black wood, Santana thought it kind of looked like charcoal. Behind the desk sat a pretty tall woman with short white blond hair and huge gray wings. And if Santana said huge she meant it. In comparison to her wings Brittany's were like a babies. This had to be the Archangel Brittany was talking about earlier. She looked intimidating, callous and deceitful. All in all again a huge contrast to the sweet image Brittany presented with her calm smile, sweet voice and innocent demeanor.
Her eyes were golden like really shiny golden and it kind of creeped Santana out. Out of the corner of her eyes she could see that Quinn and Rachel looked both as terrified as she felt deep inside. Of course she wouldn't let her exterior betray what she felt inside. She was Santana "Badass" Lopez and had spent her whole life building walls around her to keep anyone from seeing what's inside her.
"Lucy Quinn Fabray, Rachel Barbra Berry and Santana Lopez. You stand now before Archangel Sue Sylvester. She will be the one to judge whether you will be send to Heaven or Hell." Brittany spoke. Before the blonde could open her mouth again Archangel Sylvester was already speaking.
"Okay just to get this clear I already have a pretty good picture of who you are and what you did. You know how they say God sees everything? Well that's true. And since each of you has a different crime they committed on earth each of you has a different color of track suits. So let's start with Lucy Q over there. You know I kinda like your attitude but you know what's pretty nasty? Envy. I mean really girl get it together you had it all.
Now to you loud mouth. You know red is associated with love and all that humanly pile of crap but really down here it stands for something that was you doom. Selfishness. You were the most self-centered little diva.
And now to my favorite gray one. Taco Bell you have your color because you were a total bitch to everyone your whole life. I mean really what did people do to you that you always cut them down? I personally would have send you straight to Hell but well I couldn't give you a black suit because someone thinks you really do have a heart. But be sure that we'll see about that." She gave Santana a quick once over as she said that and then looked at Brittany and the blonde Seraphim nodded and walked to the girls.
"Okay as Archangel Sylvester told you just now we know more about you than you yourself but we still think that we have to do some sorting tests to be sure you deserve where we put you. Because really we can see your deeds but we still don't know why you do them. And here we will check that. Now if you please follow me I'll show you to your chambers."
Wait what chambers, Santana thought?
"Wait Brittany what chambers? I thought we are going to get sorted and then down to Hell or well Heaven for that matter?" Quinn and Rachel were silent. They didn't mind Santana taking charge.
"Yes I did say that and that's exactly what will happen but this isn't something that happens in an instant it is a process and for that we need to give you room to sleep."
Quinn arched an eyebrow. "We are dead why would we need sleep?" Brittany had to chuckle at this. She had been asked this. Each and every single human that she has guided to the tower has always been confused about the sleeping question. Brittany found it odd to wonder about so unimportant facts when you were just told you are in a tower with some angels that decide of you land in heaven or hell. A raspy voice brought Brittany out of her thoughts.
"Oh come on Quinn does it really matter if we fucking need to sleep? Santana glared at Quinn and then turned her head to Brittany, "I mean although I know I'm gonna end up in hell I would much rather know how long we are gonna stay here and what kind of freaking sorting things you want to expose us to?"
Santana was agitated. Was she the only one worried about this whole being in a tower full of judgmental angels and a creepy golden eyed archangel? And now Brittany was looking at her curiously. Her head tilted to the side adorably, her eyebrows slightly crunched as if she was trying to figure something complicated out. When their eyes met Santana couldn't stop thinking just how beautiful Brittany was and her eyes were so calm and gentle that she couldn't understand how she could be of the same species like that Arch-bitch Sylvester. Her thoughts of Sue Sylvester made Santana break her staring contest with Brittany and replay what she had said. She herself, Quinn and Rachel had all kind of sinned on earth. But it seemed that it was expected here that people sinned the only thing they cared about was how deep your sins ran and if you really are a horrible person or if you just had some pretty shitty luck in life and were forced to do some things. Then again what happened to murderer and people like that?
She didn't even want to think about that. Right now all Santana knew was that Sue Sylvester didn't like her at all. More like hated her guts and she was stranded in a tower with two other girls one selfish loud mouth and a yellow envy monster who clung to each other for deer life. Santana looked up to the other girls sighed and then looked up to Brittany again waiting for her to either answer her questions or at least do anything.
Brittany on the other side was still deep in thought and intrigued by Santana who was the first human to seem to not ask that simple question. To many others it may seem so insignificant but when you live as long as Brittany has and have witnessed so many people going through this stage it is remarkable to meet a person that seems to be different.
Brittany still didn't know what it was but she going to find out what made Santana Lopez different and she wouldn't stop until she found out. Brittany noticed now the girls waiting stares on her and smiled.
"So please follow me know to you quarters. I'm sure you'll find them quite comfortable."
And with that she turned and walked away motioning for the girls to follow her.
Santana sighed and walked after Brittany. This was going to be interesting.
