Chapter 2

Five days later, Quinn and Rachel's paths met again. At the top of a building Quinn studied the brunette who was with Noah and Finn. They were talking in low voices, Rachel smiling at Finn and Quinn found it the cutest kind of smile. Quinn didn't know what to think about these kids, they were courageous enough to chase her and fight evil every day. After all this time they were still alive, so it meant something: they didn't want to die.

For a reason that she couldn't understand she felt drawn to Rachel; she knew a lot of things about her, and the rest of them, but she was only attracted to her in a way that didn't make sense. Rachel was gorgeous; she was the kind of beauty that you don't necessarily see at first because you are captivated at first by her aura. Rachel's aura was bright as the sun; she could easily make someone smile if that person let herself be drawn to her. But that doesn't mean that Quinn felt okay with what was happening. It was strange, and maybe, she was even scared. Quinn shook her head, turning to leave when something caught her eye. She frowned when she noticed yellow eyes hidden in the darkness of the alley where the three kids were.

In a few seconds, the beasts growled and attacked them. They looked like the Cailean from few days back, but they were bigger and by that stronger, way more capable of ripping your head apart in only one move. Not thinking any more, Quinn jumped from the top of building, in her fall she released her sword from its sheath in her back. When her boots hit the ground she made enough noise for the beasts to hear her; that way they would be distracted for a few seconds enough that the kids could run away and it worked, the four beasts turned and looked at her.

Rachel caught sight of Quinn, and Noah lunged at the first wolf he could, and in a scream started to fight with it. Finn stepped in front of Rachel, took his spear and beat the second wolf.

Quinn tried to catch the other two's attention drawing them to her, who instantly attacked. Rachel gasped when she realized what was going on. She took her own sword and ran after them.

The blonde took the first wolf easily; she ducked and buried her sword in the beast's heart making him die in a painful whimper. The second one attacked her and in a move of his head made her fly backward and hit the nearest wall. She grimaced at the taste of blood in her mouth; she quickly stood up and saw Rachel fighting the beast. Finn and Puck were not in danger, so she ran to help the brunette. She jumped on the beast's back and in a move of her hands she broke his neck. The animal fell on the ground, dead. The other two beasts that the boys were fighting backed off and ran. Quinn was about to chase them when someone caught her arm.

When she turned she saw two big brown eyes looking at her with something that made Quinn feel warm inside of her, her stomach twisted and she gulped realizing that Rachel was touching her.

"Let them go." Quinn was simply speechless, her instincts telling her to run after the beasts, but something else, her heart, was telling her that it didn't matter. To stay, Rachel let go of her arm when the boys reached them. "Well that was... something" said the Mohawk-haired boy high fiving Finn who was laughing. Quinn glared at them.

"This is not a game." she said. Noah looked at her.

"Yeah, well I'm happy I'm still alive so-" Quinn rolled her eyes

"You should have run when I distracted them!" Finn frowned and waited for Rachel to say something, but the girl was just staring at Quinn. Noah on the other hand, didn't stay silent.

"Well it seems that you were the one who went flying like a bird into the wall, so next time you let us handle it."

Quinn eyes went bigger, "Are you kidding me right now? I've been around much longer than you kid. I know what fighting is and what it means." she took a step toward the boy and said, "For you, it's just like a party or video game isn't it?" Noah was about to say something when Rachel stopped him.

"Enough! This is neither the time nor the place to be talking about what we should have done or not. So you two, stop it." Quinn took a breath to calm herself. Her blood was boiling, not used to be talked to like this by a bunch of humans.

"Guys, go wait over there. I need to talk to Quinn." Finn took Noah by the arm, making him move back and they walked towards the corner of the alley, stopping under the pale light, making sure that they could see the girls.

When Rachel was sure that they couldn't hear her, Rachel speak "Thank you. I owe you." Quinn stopped looking at the boys in the corner, surprised by the brunette's words. She looked at her.

When she saw Rachel smile gently, she let the ghost of a smile appear on her face. "Maybe." They stood in silence simply looking at each other; Quinn tucked her sword safely on her back under her duster.

"Who are you ?" Quinn laughed at the same question that the girl had asked her the first time they met. "I need to know if you are a threat to us or not. It's stupid of me to ask, because you could easily lie and pretend that you are on our side and then betray us. But I feel like I could trust you enough to hope that you would choose to tell me the truth." Quinn looked uncomfortable at that. She knew that it had already been a huge risk to leave everyone alive after they first saw her, when she was supposed to kill anyone who would know about her existence. She sighed, looking away for a second before turning her gaze back to the girl before her. She couldn't understand about what she was feeling whenever the tiny girl was near her, but she knew that she would never hurt her. She just couldn't.

Sensing that the blonde was not sure about how to answer, Rachel brought her hand on Quinn's arm, who tensed instantly. "Look, think about it okay? In this world, everyone could be helpful. We are not living anymore, we are only surviving, and it's the only way to defeat death." Rachel smiled one last time at her, squeezing the blonde arm. "I'll see you around, if you're interested." She then walked toward the two boys who were waiting and with one last look, they all left.

Qinn remained in the middle of the alley, confused and without knowing what to do.

Trust or not ?

Two nights after, Quinn stood again on the same rooftop as before. It had always been the right thing to stay in the dark, without being seen, and she was suspicious because she knew that humans could be as dangerous as the evil kind. Humans were simply animals in cage made of flesh and bones, waiting to let their inner beast break free. She didn't know why she had decided to take the risk, to let herself trust and help them, but she just couldn't stay away from the girl. The previous night it had been hard to not come, to just stay in the dark, it almost made her go crazy. Could it all be a trap, a way for the kids to catch and kill her? Maybe they had heard about her and her kind and they had decided to kill them all. Or worst, Father had charged them to catch her in exchange of their lives being saved. She swallowed hard at the image in her head, but decided to give them a chance; to give Rachel a chance.

She gets up quickly and jumped off the roof, making her way into the alley in silence. Everything was quiet, as usual. 'Maybe too quiet?' she thought, but dismissed the idea quickly telling herself that she could defend herself if she needed to.

She found herself in the middle of the alley, waiting on the same spot. She closed her eyes; letting her senses tell her if any danger was around. She heard nothing, sensed nothing but, she did smell something; strawberries, a perfume, a natural sense of vanilla near. Rachel. She was here.

She opened her eyes and saw the brunette looking at her from the corner of the alley. "Surprised that you came." The girl looked calm, maybe too calm. Quinn quirked an eyebrow and the feeling that Rachel hadn't come alone washed over her. Her ears perked at the sound of people hidden in the darkness. The other kids. Of course they wouldn't let Rachel come alone, they didn't trust the blonde girl and it was natural. Quinn wouldn't trust herself too if she was them.

"Your friends are here." Rachel nodded, looking at Quinn who was tense. "You don't mind, do you?"

Quinn shook her head and went into a fighting stance. The kids moved, reaching for their weapons.

"We all discussed this, you. We came to the conclusion that you are in fact not human, or if you are, you are only partly. Am I right ?" said the brunette.

"Let's just say I'm special."

Rachel rolled her eyes, crossing her arms on her chest. Quinn looked annoyed at the brunette's decision, but then she smirked. Her plan was not to kill them, but to teach them a lesson and maybe they will understand that she was not a threat. "Shall we ?" Quinn jumped and in a swing of her leg hit Finn in the chest who backed away and fell on the floor. "Too easy." Mike and Blaine came up behind her and tried to hit her, but she kneeled and made them fall on the ground.

Tina came closer with Puck following her and in a kick hit Quinn in the back, but the blonde didn't moved and in a spin of her legs she made her fall, making Puck fall on top of her in the process. She winked at the boy and pushed him two feet away. Everyone was on the floor now, she got up but someone caught her from behind. It was Rachel. She may be tiny but she was strong. Being that close to her was destabilizing, Quinn's body didn't fighted or Rachel would be flying toward the end of the alley. It was like electricity was going through her body, she felt trapped but in a way that it wasn't hurting her. She felt content.

"Listen, I won't hurt you if you come with us." Quinn tried to move but found herself chained, Mercedes helping Rachel. Quinn had been so distracted by what her body was feeling near the petite diva that she completely forgot to stay on guard. Suddenly she felt a nibble on her neck, she fell on her knees and in a few seconds she couldn't move. She was paralyzed. Every muscle of her body was on fire at the contact of the poison making it way on her bloodstream. She wanted to talk, but she couldn't. With her head bowed to the ground, she could only breathe. For the first time in hundred years someone catches her, a bunch of kids;humans.

Rachel moved toward her, Quinn couldn't look at her. "Now you have no choice."

Quinn stands on the edge of a building, the sun is shining. She watches the birds, fly around her. She calls them and they flutter up from unseen places. Their silhouetes hiding the sun as they fly. She simply stays like that, until she feels tired of doing it. In a motion of her right hand she make a first one fall. Then another and another. Their little bodies fall from the sky until they land near her feets. Some of them still alive on the floor, rest their letting their breath of life escape their lungs one last time. She can feel them dying, she always felt things die around her. It had been created to be a strengh but in the end it was more a curse than aynthing else. She remember fighthing and feeling people dying around her, every breath of life coming to an end.

She extends her arms over the edge and picks a bird out of the crowd. She calls to it with her thoughts and the bird flies over obediently toward her. With her hand in the air she let him land on her fingers and pecks a little at his open palm before stepping into it. The bird looks at her, and Quinn can feel the tiny body tremble. She knows that any animal can sense when something or someone is there to hurt him, and now the bird must sense that it's a dangerous situations for him. Angry, Quinn tightens her fingers around the bird's body, she can feel his heartbeats and it makes her sick. Sick because she can feel everything that the bird is feeling. Fear, every heartbeat beats with fear. For a moment she stops what she's doing. She is shaking, her other hand curled in a fist. She closes her eyes and tries to make her thoughts go away, she wants this sickness to stop. She never asked for this.

Without opening her eyes she closes her other fist, and let the feathers fall and the blood ooze out of the broken animal.

When she woke up, Quinn sat in a cell with only a table in front of her, a door and no windows. She could move her body now but she decided to stay still. Now that she was there it would be a good idea to find out more about them and why they had drugged her and took here.

She was brought out from her thoughts when the lock of the door was sprung, and the it slowly heaved open. Finn and Noah came in hauling Quinn to her feet, her hands still bound in the force field cuffs, her legs the same but separated so she could shuffle.

"Some people want to see you" they said shortly and led her outside the cell. Mike and tina were there too with a blonde boy with his arm around Mercedes shoulder. Sam, it was Sam. She quirck her famous eyebrow at him, making him brought the sassy girl closer to him.

The two boys led her to what looked like an elevator, and it really made Quinn wonder for how long they had been around town and if there was other humans besides them. After a short ride upwards, they came to a long corridor that leaded to what looked like a conference room. A table was in the middle with multiple shleves and at least thousand of books sat there. From the corner of her eyes, she notice Rachel stading next to a window looking outside, the sun has risen and it gives the illusion that everything outside is still normal. No fights, no deaths. Only the simple sun rising over the city that never sleeps.

Finally Rachel, arms crossed, turned toward them. Finn and Puck still holding her by the arms. With a little nodd of her head, the boys shoved Quinn into the centre of the room and left. It was then that she noticied that Rachel and her were not the only persons in the room. With a quick glance she noted the presence of a boy wtih glasses seated in a wheelchair. Artie. A man with curly hair who looks more older than the kids, a tie and a jacket. She mentaly rolls her eyes. William Schuester, it couldn't be anyone else with those horrible jackets. And finally a woman with short blonde hair in a blue gym tracksuit, was looking at her with a serious gaze. Sue Sylvester. With all eyes fixed on her, Quinn looks at Rachel who stand still for a few seconds, before she finally talks.

"Well" Rachel sighed, "Let's get over it, shall we ?"
