Hey! This chapter is mainly just explaining what's going on with Britt and her vampireness-ness and it explains the history of the girls. Drama will occur soon don't worry. OoOoOoOh what's even going oonnn? Enjoy! Sorry it's not perfect I only get the laptop for a little while. xx
I woke up in bed, it was still dark out and the moon was still bright and full. I was just about to try to get back to sleep when I realised what had just happened.
Pfft, It had to be a dream...
I came home and passed out from... hunger?... I guess? and I had a weird dream.
Yea that was it!
"Hi"
WHAT THE HELL!? I sat up straight to see Santana casually sat on top of my drawers, Rachel leaning by the door frame and Quinn stood slightly beside her. All three of them had said it at the same time.
"Guys! Stop it with this sneaking around thing and scaring the shit out of me" I said desperately.
"Sorry, we did handle this rather badly. It's not how I saw it happening at all" Rachel said.
"Not so smart are you now berry?" Santana chuckled.
"So, this isn't a dream. Okay, I'll accept that. You obviously don't want to drink my blood so we're good there.. ... Hold up you said that I was a vampire?"
"Yea kinda... we didn't bite you though don't worry about that" Quinn smiled lightly.
"Then who the hell did, i don't know any other vampires around here? And why are you like all normal? Like why aren't you hiding from the sun? Why do you have jobs? Rachel why the hell do you go to school with me? Don't get me wrong I like dance class with you but i mean vampire's dont age? Like what about getting famous? What about Kurt is he a vampire?"
Those were the first questions that popped into my mind... Out of ALL the questions i could have asked those were the ones that escaped out of my mouth.
"What? Lady Hummel? No way! He's as human as he is gay!" Santana stated.
"I'm sure going to miss him! He's the only person I've ever met with as much talent as myself. Well apart from Santana here, but she'll never admit how good she is. Wasted potential if you ask me."
"Hello? Earth to vampires! Are you gunna answer my questions?" I said smartly.
"Well firstly, I think Santana's attitude is already rubbing off on you. Secondly, we have jobs because we need money! I go to school because i enjoy learning about the arts and drama. I've joined drama, dance and singing schools a lot over the years. I never get tiered of it! And one day i'll get famous ! I'll just have to dramatically fake my death when people start to realise i never age!" Rachel beamed.
"You'd like that wouldn't you Rachel?" Santana mocked.
"We still try to live as normally as we can, we're still kind of human-" Quinn started to explain until Santana butted in.
"Except we live forever, we have powers and every now and again we have to suck someones blood" Santana blurted.
"Santana, relax" Quinn said quietly.
"Sorry it just, it's not always ideal really is it?" Santana mumbled.
"No it's not Santana, for Rachel and myself either." Quinn said.
Santana looked over apologetically but i was to wrapped up in this big mess to think properly.
"Guys please can you explain things more from the beginning, you said I'm kind of vampire, what does that even mean?" I know i get confused easily but this shit is worse than algebra.
Rachel jumped forward and an arm reached out sideways dramatically.
"Well, a long, long, long, long, long long long-"
"She gets the point dwarf" Santana sighed.
Rachel dropped her arm and continued.
"A human woman Elizabeth, and a vampire male, Henry fell deeply in love. Now this can never really happen seen as though humans can only fall for humans and vampires can only fall for vampires. Its only happened on like 2 occasions because of the big soul mate, destiny thing but I mean can you just imagine the drama?! Although on second thought that would be quite thrilling! Anyway, it was their destiny to be together."
"What about twilight though? That was a story of love between human and vampire?" I quickly asked.
"Oh my God, those movies are such a load of shit! They ridiculed the vampire community. Sucking animal blood? That's just dirty, and it doesn't help us live anyway." Santana shook her head . "Britt forget everything you ever knew about vampires. We are here to give you the gospel truth."
I nodded to let Rachel continue.
"Well they conceived a child, a baby boy. Elizabeth had to raise him herself because of course a vampire never ages and it would just be the biggest mess to ever occur... Henry wanted her and their son to live a happy, human, normal life and the story has it that Elizabeth wanted the same for their child too. So, Elizabeth stayed human along with her child and never spoke of vampires again.
Thus why the child never knew he was the son of a vampire and thus, why no family stories have been passed down. Anyway, the boy grew up, reproduced, and well... Britt long story short it turns out that you, are the last remaining relative of his family with the vampire gene. You're a pure bred. Which is very, very rare. Theres only been one other case of a pure bred before and that's um... ." She paused. "That's Santana."
I looked at Santana. She was looking at me with such deep brown eyes with such worry... she was sucking me in... ... Awkward choice of words there...
"Okay so why am I only just turning into a vampire now? That's what the huger is right? And why did this not happen to any of my other relatives? They were human... As far as I know... Oh my god what about my little sister? Does she have the gene?"
"No, it's just you. Your sister doesn't have the gene. This is YOUR destiny! This is only happening now because it takes something to trigger the vampire gene." Rachel finished.
"What do you mean something triggers it? And thanks but I believe that we choose our own destiny!" I added firmly.
"Well Brittany, in your case you actually kind of do choose" Santana hopped of my draws and was instantly sat next to me on my bed.
"I know this is confusing, trust me I know. We all find it strange, but we've had a long time to adjust to the idea. We've been waiting for you. You see because you're a pure bred and lived most of your life human. You can choose whether you want to be a vampire or not. Also, your vampire gene was triggered by..." She stopped and looked at me with so much sadness. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and never let go. "Your vampire gene thing was triggered by me"
What?
"What do you mean?"
"We'll leave you two alone" Quinn said, and in the blink of an eye they were gone.
"I didn't wanna tell you this, ugh, its gunna sound weird but um, we are kind of destined to be together..."
I looked at her blankly until it sank in. Suddenly it all made sense. I smiled widely without realising.
"You're taking this rather well!" She giggled.
"Well, no its just that it makes sense I mean when I saw you I just knew I had to be with you... Man its crazy to think that so soon but I've never been so sure of anything in my whole life"
Santana's smile was bigger than I'd ever seen it. God I wanted to always make her smile like that.
"So tell me more about this vampire stuff!"
"Well, I've been around for a while. Have you heard about the american revolutionary war?"
"No" I was quite embarrassed. Should I know? "I'm not very smart!" I added.
"Yes you are!" She took my hand and my whole body came to life. Wow. "Well, that stuff doesn't matter anyway. You see I am apparently the most powerful vampire there ever was and ever will be because as you know like yourself, I'm a pure bred. The first ever. But at first I didn't know or care what that meant."
"So as a pure bred you had a choice right?... And you chose to become a vampire? From what I can tell you don't seem to like it very much. Apart from when you were teasing me up on the rooftop. Thanks for that by the way."
She looked at me apologetically then smiled.
"Well it does have its perks, you should have seen your face. Things were a little different for me. I knew of my fate from being a little girl. I was dead set on choosing to stay as a human because well, come on who wants to suck blood? But in the end I chose to become a vampire."
"Why?" I asked as I stroked her hand.
"Because of you." She whispered. "You triggered my vampire gene."
"What? What do you mean? I thought you were like, really old?" I asked
"Haha, yea you definitely weren't born back then. See, being a pure bred and knowing of my family and fate I was exposed to everything. A family friend who was a vampire, he was like Rachel and he could see the future..."
"Woah hold up, Rachel can see the future? ... Ooohh, yep, yep. That makes so much sense"
"Yep, but she's not always right though..." Santana stated.
"God she always seems it to me" I gasped "She saw me coming didn't she!?"
Of course!
Santana just laughed, she was still holding my hand and I clung to it tighter.
"Well, when I was 18 he showed me a vision he got, it was a vision of you. I couldn't tell what year you were in, or how we would even meet. All I could see in the vision was your eyes, your beautiful blue eyes, and all I could feel was, love. He told me that you were my soul mate but we were in different lifetimes. Although, I didn't think it would take this long to find you... He said that it was our fate, our destiny to be together and if my vampire gene was triggered I could change into a vampire to one day, get to you. See, once I saw you in that vision my hunger kicked in because vampire gene had been triggered... It seems that meeting your soul mate does that..." She grinned at me and my heart melted. "I had a year to think it over, if I sucked someone's blood in that year I would turn into a vampire. If not, the vampire gene would die, I would stay human..."
"And never have met me" I finished. "I'm glad you did it San. I think you're the most amazing person I've ever met."
I wasn't even scared of her. She was still, just Santana... Just a little older than I thought. Santana looked at me softly and I could tell she was glad I said person and not vampire.
I blinked and she was instantly closer to me, this super speed thing was kind of hot! She placed her hand around my neck, leaned in slowly and planted a small but loving kiss on my lips. My whole body trembled. How could a simple small kiss do this much to me?
It wasn't enough, I needed more of Santana. I crashed our lips together again and my tongue slid in her mouth automatically. I had never felt so much passion in my life. We were like two lost puzzle pieces finally put together.
The sunlight woke Santana and I up. We laid in bed in complete awe of our night. Santana pecked me on the forehead before she spoke.
"I have waited far too long for this, but it was worth it."
I stroked Santana's face.
"I can't believe this is happening... In a good way though, wait you sleep?" I wondered aloud.
"Yea everyone needs sleep!" Santana said simply.
"Yea silly question." I can be so stupid sometimes.
Santana put her arm around me and pulled me in tighter.
"It wasn't a silly question at all Britt-Britt"
Relief swept over me knowing Santana didn't think I was dumb , I also really loved that new nick name...
I wanted to lie like this forever, but I had way more stuff to ask..
"Sorry to ruin the moment but, I have more questions..."
"Shoot!" Santana grinned.
"meeting you 6 months ago triggered my vampire gene thingy jiggy wig wob ?" I asked.
Santana giggled.
"Yes, your vampire gene thingy jibby wib wob"
"And if I suck someone's blood in the next 6 months i will become ... A vampire"
"Correct. Rachel wanted to tell you as soon as you met me. But I didn't let her. When I saw you, saw you face to face properly. I could just see how full of life you were and I didn't want to take that away. That's why I was so distant with you. I can understand why Henry didn't want to bite Elizabeth... I mean I'd waited so long for you but I just got so, so scared. I don't think id ever been as scared in my whole life when I met you. I mean you were finally in my life and I didn't know how to deal with it. Rachel couldn't tell what year you were in either, sometime her visions just come in flashes. She had SO many visions of you, they were what kept me going, and she knew she'd bump into you one day... But she just didn't know when. It was excruciating to wait but God when I saw you I thought it would be best to let you live as a human. When your hunger got worse though you just deserved to at least know the truth."
I could see Santana had been suffering for too long. Santana was feeling venerable and scared I could tell she wanted to change the subject.
"Anyway back to basics, if you do decide to suck someone's blood in the next 6 months, your fangs actually form as soon as you touch the human skin with your teeth...and that makes it easier to ... um suck the blood, then when you're a vampire you can get out your fangs any time you please, it's a cool party trick!" She joked.
Six months to choose whether or not to be a vampire?
"Santana I don't wanna kill anyone!" I blurted. An eternity murdering people?
Santana chuckled softly.
"You have such a pure innocent heart, I love that about you! We don't kill people Britt, we suck blood out of them, yes. But not enough to kill them and we do it as little as we can. But we do need blood to survive. If we happen to be very hungry we kill bad people. Before I met Quinn that's what I would do. But Quinn can erase people's memories so we suck a humans blood, not too much! and then Quinn takes away that memory and I replace it with a new one... a better one."
A wave of relief came over me.
"Wow you guys can do that? So Rachel can see the future, Quinn can erase memories and you can...give memories?"
"I have mind control, I can control emotions, I can make you feel things pain or sadness, I can plant thoughts and memories, I can make people do things. I'm also the fastest and strongest vampire ever" she winked when she said that last part.
"Oh my god you better not have used your powers on me" i gasped.
"No Britt I haven't! Rachel, Quinn and I try really hard to never use our powers unless its necessary."
"Wait so cos you guys are vampires, is that why you're so hot? Like flawlessly hot? Like seriously you're really beautiful" I asked honestly.
Santana burst out laughing and covered her mouth. It was the loudest id ever heard her laugh, it was music to my ears.
"Hahaha, no you must just think that about me, which I'm totally flattered by because the feeling's mutual. But really? Did you forget that Rachel's also a vampire because she looks like a garden gnome."
There was a bump behind my bedroom door.
"Santana!" It was Rachel. "I heard that! And I'll have you know, some people find me very attractive."
"Well stop eavesdropping and get away from behind the door! Go back to the lounge and practice your golden globe speech or something, I can hear you breathing! Helloooo, heightened senses!?... And Jesus, that means you too Quinn." Santana yelled.
"Ugh, I hate how powerful you are!" Quinn playfully shouted.
Santana could tell the two girls had left and we both burst into laughter.
"Now I get why you knew I was outside the other day!" I grinned. I knew that was too weird! "You three have a very special friendship!" I giggled.
"Yea well we take best friends forever to a whole new level!" Santana said.
I could tell Santana loved them, as much as she teased them. She really cared.
"How did you meet them?" I asked.
"Well, with Rachel I was learning about music and stuff, still trying to live as much of a humanly life as I could...So that wasn't all a lie what I told you at the bar. I just don't study anymore, I couldn't be bothered to keep going to school's and doing the same thing over and over and bla-bla. So now I just stick with having a job. Rachel was an aspiring actress, still a human, and we were in a little jazz band that played in a few bars to get a little money. She was annoying as hell but man she knew exactly where her life was going. I actually think that's why she can see the future as a vampire now. Sadly though...she didn't see that one night after a performance she was going to get jumped in an alleyway. She was stabbed nine times."
Santana's voice trembled and she paused, she closed her eyes at the thought.
"I could smell the blood and I could smell death. I got there so quickly that the two men that jumped here were still there. I killed them both instantly. Rachel was still alive but barely. God she was so desperate to live and she definitely wasn't going to survive...so i did the only thing i could...i bit her. I didn't know if that's what she would want but i couldn't let her die."
"I think she seems to like it! It's a dramatic life style" I tried to lighten the mood and I could tell Santana appreciated the effort.
I took Santana's hand and examined her face. I explored her jaw line and her flawless lips, her nose and the crinkle's on her forehead she was making from frowning at her memory...Then I saw the sadness in her eyes.
"You saved her Santana." I said. "What about Quinn?"
Hopefully it would be a better story than Rachel's.
"Well I met Quinn before Rachel and she was already a vampire. As a human, Quinn was happily married and just had a child, a girl named Bethany. They were very poor and disease and sickness was plaguing the town. Although it scared her love was enough for the Fabray's! Ironically, Quinn didn't know that sickness and poverty was the least of her worries. There was also a vampire in town too. Her name was Marie. Quinn liked to help the sick on the streets and that's when she met Marie. Quinn thought Marie looked ill and offered to help her. They introduced themselves and all was going well until for some unknown reason, Marie just bit Quinn. Didn't suck her blood or even kill her. Just bit her. Quinn had read story books about the undead before, so she had an idea about what she was turning into. She turned into a vampire almost instantly. It's not even painful, a burst of power flows through you and then boom. Fangs and eternal life. Anyway, Marie turned to her afterwards and laughed. Just laughed in her face."
Santana was so disgusted that she was shaking with anger.
"Quinn was distraught and left her child and husband behind, she just ran. She couldn't be around them anymore. She didn't want Bethany to be around her when she was now a blood sucking vampire. When she left it destroyed her. Quinn was in a forest when I found her. I don't even know how long she'd been out there. She was just sat up against a tree staring up at the sky with tears streaming down her face. I entered Quinn's mind to try help her, to try calm her mind and make her feel happy. When I got inside her mind it was so painful in there I felt like I was dying... And I live forever so, you can see what I'm getting at here. I picked her up, cradled her and got inside her mind again to calm her down. I made the weight on her heart lift for a while and promised we would find the vampire that did this to her. It took a little while but we got her. We smashed Marie into a thousand pieces. Just like she did to Quinn inside. That's also why I think Quinn can erase memories. Because more than anything she just wants to forget! Forget about abandoning Bethany, forget her old life and what she had, forget that she's a vampire and forget her little baby's face."
I felt so sorry for them all. I didn't even know what to say! They had all gone through so much loss and heartache that living forever and having powers just didn't seem like a big enough reward for all the pain.
You might be able to tell where this is going! But i'm excited! What is Brittany gunna chose? I mean I wouldn't wanna have to disappear from my own life and live in the shadows forever... but if I had Santana I would jump at the chance lol
