Sorry this took so long school caught up and well you know, anyway.
I would like to say that there is some homophobic bullying in this chapter. I myself I'm not homophobic but the character (Karofsky) is so just bear with me. Anyway on with the story.
"Protect her." A voice called out from the darkness
"What?" Sam asked
"Protect her."
"Hello?"
Suddenly Sam felt like his world was spinning, like he was falling down a deep dark pit with no end, forever spinning and spinning into the darkness, never stopping. The walls were closing in, Sam kept falling and falling never ending. The darkness was going to sallow him whole. Until...
"SAM WAKE UP!"
Sam was awoken from his dreams by a shake, when he opened his eyes he met the worried gazes of Puck, Artie and Blaine.
"Dude, you alright?" Puck asked worryingly.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Sam asked unsure.
"You were screaming in your sleep and I mean seriously screaming, we called Blaine here to see if he could get how you were feeling but he couldn't read you." Artie answered with the same look of worry that Puck had.
"I was screaming?" Sam asked.
"It was kind of scary, I mean you are one of the easiest people to read and yet I felt nothing," Blaine admitted shyly. "Were you having a nightmare?"
"I don't know, I just remember pure black. That's it. Is that bad?" Sam said.
"I don't know, maybe we should take you to Miss Pillsbury." Blaine said feeling sorry for Sam.
"Who is Miss Pillsbury?"
"The schools guidance councillor, she helps people come to terms with their powers and shit like that." Puck answered in a shrug.
"Guys, it wasn't that bad just one dream," Sam said, even though he felt pretty good that he cared for them, he would never admit it though, that was too girly. "So Breakfast?" He was meet with nods of enthusiasm as Puck and Artie went to get ready. Blaine just stared at him. "What?" Sam said with a hint of venom in his voice.
"There is something you aren't telling us about that dream. I couldn't read you during the whole thing and honestly that scares me even more than the screaming." Blaine said looking at Sam in concern the whole time.
"All I remember is black," Sam answered quickly. He was not ready to reveal the first part of his dreams because one, he didn't recognize and two because he didn't know who the her he was referring to.
Blaine was still not satisfied with Sam's answer but he felt it wasn't he place to push it, so he nodded his head and left the room without so much as a goodbye. Sam then started to get ready and left the room not even caring that Puck and Artie were still getting ready.
He was too freaked out by that dream. Who is he meant to be protecting? Who was the man telling him to protect her? Was it just a dream?
Sam just shook it off and went to get ready and then went to get breakfast with Puck and Artie.
Puck was keeping an eye on Sam. He was worried for him, he would never voice it but the incident this morning kinda freaked him out. He was really starting to like Sam and no not like that. Puck's heart belonged to another but yet again he would never voice it. Basically Puck is emotionally retarded. But still he was worried, he had never seen someone freak out as much as Sam had. They totally downplayed it, he was thrashing about in his bed screaming his fucking guts and sweating like crazy.
After the once again teleportation down to breakfast due to Rory, forced Sam to hold back his sick. He made a quick dash to the bin, almost is he himself had gain teleportation and hovered his head over it. Luckily nothing came out. You'll get used to it, they said when he first teleported. Yeah like that was ever going to happen.
Sam moved himself from the bin and made contact with his friends smiling faces. 'Some friends they are,' Sam thought, 'Didn't even ask me if I was ok.' Sam walked past his friends and went straight to get his breakfast, once again an apple and a bowl of oatmeal.
Once he sat down, Santana being the nosy git that she is asked. "Is that all you ever eat?"
Sam answered back straight away. "If I want my body like the perfection it is then yeah." Sam said as he took a bite of his apple.
"My body is perfection," Santana said glaring at him, he could feel heat rising off her. "My guess is that under that shirt is a big hot mess like a pillsbury dough boy." Santana said smirking. "Or like Finn." Santana said under her breath but it was loud enough for the table (Puck), to burst into laughter.
"Santana." Finn whined. "Why have you always got to drag my body into your insults?"
"Because, you can't expect to eat a sloppy joe for lunch every day and get away with it." Santana said back ignoring the glare coming from the Ice Queen herself.
"Santana," Quinn said slowly. "If you mention, my boyfriends body one more time, I will make you do something you don't want to do understand."
Santana quickly nodded, but she knew that Quinn made that threat everyday and yet here they were. "Anyway back to my original point." Santana said in an annoyed tone. "Let's see under the shirt." Santana said her eyes gleaming with mischief.
"No Santana." Sam said taking another bite out of his apple, he didn't really want to encourage the Latina and seemed to miss the glare that was aimed at him from a certain mohawked young man. "I'm not taking my shirt off for you, I'm not a stripper."
"Come on, just one peek so I can make fun of it all the time." Santana said whining.
"No, if you put it like that." Sam said turning his head away to face Artie, eager to start a conversation about something else, anything else that didn't involve his body. Luck was not on his side though, when Santana realized what he was about to do, she quickly moved in for the kill.
"If you don't show me, I will burn your top off." Santana said, nobody except Sam looked at her, it was like this was expected from the Latina.
"..."
"Speechless, Sammy. I've backed you into a corner. Take off the shirt." Santana said playing with a flickering of a flame in one hand.
At Santana's words and Sam's movement of his hand to his shirt, all of the girls turned their interest into this conversation.
"Oh, come on!" Sam exclaimed. "I will take it off, just not in the cafeteria ok?"
"No, that doesn't work for me," she gestured to herself, "or my girlies ok? So take it off!"
"Fine Satan, you can have your satanic ways." Sam huffed making an annoyed face.
"It's my satanic ways or it is no fun!" Santana said playfully.
Sam decided it was better to get it over with so he quickly took off his shirt and watched as all the girl's jaws dropped and the boys looked like they were going to kill him.
"Wow..." Brittany said dreamily.
"Washboard abs." Quinn muttered under her breath.
"Better than Mike's" Tina said quietly but it was enough for all the girls and Sam and Mike to hear it.
"Can I touch them?" Sugar asked to no one in particular.
"I could stare at them all day." Mercedes admitted.
"You have yet to comment Satan." Sam said grinning as the girl in question was too hypnotized by the eye candy in front of her.
"No comment." Santana quickly said tearing her gaze away from his abs to his face. "You can put your shirt back on now."
Sam quickly put his shirt back on, to avoid anyone else oogling at his abs, this was meet with swift disappointment from the girls and sighs of relief from the boys.
"Lets go to Schue's before he rants at us again." Mercedes said dramatically. Everyone agreed and got up to leave but their plans were halted when a Indian man blocked their way.
"PUCKERMAN! LOPEZ!" He bellowed. "My office now!" He took off and reluctantly Santana and Puck followed. Everyone else just shrugged and continued walking or rolling in Artie's case.
"Who was that?" Sam asked Artie.
"Principal Figgins. He is probably the worst principal in the whole world but he has to be principal because his power sucks." Artie answered holding back a laugh.
"What is his power?" Sam asked curiously.
"Ability to track money saving options." Artie said fully laughing. Sam soon joined in.
"Why did he ask for Satan and Puck?" Sam asked.
"You've already taken on calling her Satan." Artie said in a dead serious voice. "I believe you are fighting in rather well, anyway they were called because he probably just walked into another one of their infamous pranks. Last time, they some who managed to set his office on fire without actually burning anything. It was pretty impressive."
They soon reached Mr Schuester's class after making their journey though the windy corridors with Sam just tagging along hopelessly lost. They were found waiting outside the door as Mr Schue was taking to a ginger woman inside.
"Who's that?" Sam asked to the group.
"Miss Pillsbury. She's married to Mr Schue." Matt said. "The bell hasn't rang yet, so they are perfectly allowed to talk before class and in our opinion, flirt the pants of each other."
"She is the guidance counsellor who can read minds right?" Sam asked which was only greeted with a nod from Artie. He was about to ask when they actually could go in when he heard a noise from behind him.
"FAG!" A deep voice bellowed, Sam turned around to be met with a gorilla like man. The gorilla like man marched up to Kurt and got all up in his face. "When are your parents going to sell you back hmm? I bet they hate having you for a son, you're disgusting!" Sam was disgusted at the gorilla man's words, he was about to get all up in his grill when Rachel appeared.
Yes, She appeared and marched right up to the gorilla man. She didn't even look back or around her, her glare was focused on the man in front of her. Sam was just thinking 'Oh my god! she going to get hurt'. She stared him right in the face. They had a staring contest right outside Mr Schue's door. Neither blinking and neither moving away. Finally the gorilla man, as if he was in a trance backed away followed by the rest of his group.
Rachel wordlessly hand a tissue out of her bag to Kurt and walked into the class. Sam was completely confused at the situation. He wasn't the only one.
"Who was that?" Sam spat out.
"David Karofsky, he is in the year above. He has like a personal thing against Kurt." Finn explained.
"Rachel stood up for me." Kurt breathed out in amazement.
"I don't get why she did that." Matt said utterly confused.
"Yeah, man we would have totally gotten involved if it wasn't for her." Rory said looking apologetically at Kurt.
"True dat." Artie said nodding his head.
"Thanks but shall we just get inside. It's just Rachel in there." Kurt said opening the door. When he opened the door, Miss Pillsbury looked like a deer caught in hide lights, which was even more effective because of her big doe eyes. She quickly made her excuse and left the room.
Kurt walked in and seeing Rachel sitting by herself, as a way to pay her back for standing up for him to Karofsky, Kurt took the empty seat next to her. Rachel did her own impression of a deer caught in headlights before she looked away and moved seats. Kurt looked hurt so when everybody else came in, Blaine sat next to Kurt taking Rachel's empty seat.
When everybody was in Mr Schuester did a quick head count and got to fourteen. He counted again same answer fourteen. Mr Schuester than realized who is class was missing. His two most infamous troublemakers.
"Guys, where is Santana and Puck?" Mr Schuester asked his class.
"Principal Figgins called them away." Quinn answered.
"For what?" Mr Schue asked.
"We don't know, for once." Mike said.
"Ok, I'll sort that out later. So we are just going to do the same thing as yesterday." Mr Schuester said with a bunch of hand movements that weren't necessary. "So you know where you are going right?" This is met with chorus of Yeses.
The rest of the class stood and walked away. Rachel reluctantly walked up to Sam and motioned for him to follow her. Sam got up and followed her out. The school was still a massive maze to Sam, and he was still wondering how everybody else knew where they were going. They once again reached giant oak door with the big old brass handle. Rachel entered the room sitting at the table they were sitting at. Sam followed suit and started to get all his stuff out.
Sam looked over at Rachel's work. It looked like she had finished everything and Sam was a tad annoyed.
"You did all the work?" Sam asked astounded.
She took out her notepad and wrote 'You still have to finish your drawing.'
"Thanks, but that doesn't make me feel any more important." Sam said annoyed.
She started writing again 'You are also presenting it =)'
"Ok, deal." Sam said smiling.
Sam worked in silence as Rachel started to read a book. Alice in Wonderland. Sam loved to draw. He wasn't the worst. Apart from being a superhero, his number one dream was to be a comic book writer and drawer. When he was younger he designed his own superhero. He was called Sam Man. His power was to be able to transform into a fish, a goldfish. In hindsight, he really should have picked a better hero.
When Sam was finished, he wanted to ask Rachel the question he had been wanting to ask all day. "Why did you stand up for Kurt?"
Rachel took out her notepad and wrote 'Its personal'
Sam read it out and said."Do you like have a crush on Kurt because 1) he's gay and 2) He's taken by Blaine."
This managed to make Rachel slip a smile. She quickly covered it up with her hands and started writing again. She wrote 'Like I said it's personal'
"Do you ever tell anybody anything personal?" Sam asked.
She wrote 'No'
"Why not?" Sam asked.
She wrote 'Its personal.'
"Everything is personal, I think only the teachers know your last name." Sam said.
She wrote 'My full name is Rachel Barbra Berry'
"Well my full name is Sam Andrew Evans."
She wrote 'Nice to meet you Sam Andrew Evans'
"You too Rachel Barbara Berry." Sam said with a smile on his face. "Why Barbra?"
She wrote 'Barbra Streisand, my idol.'
"Who's she?" Sam asked completely bewildered at the name.
She wrote 'It doesn't matter.'
He was about to ask another question, when the bell rang and she darted out quicker than Flash can run. He had no choice but to follow considering he was totally lost. He ran out the door to see that he had lost her. 'Great' Sam thought 'How the hell am I going to get out of here.'
Suddenly Rory and Sugar appeared in front of him, he was shocked. He should really get used to that feeling because it seemed to be happening a lot. He looked at them, waiting for an explanation.
"We figured she would leave you stranded." Rory said shrugging.
"So we thought we would come and get you." Sugar said shrugging as well.
Rory took Sugar's hand again and outstretched his hand towards Sam. Sam still didn't like the idea of teleporting. "Can we walk?" Sam asked.
"Sure." Rory agreed and started walking, pulling Sugar along for the ride.
"Chicken." Sugar muttered under her breath.
When they finally reached the lunch area. Sam jumped straight into the queue and got himself a chicken salad sandwich and some orange juice. When Sam reached the table, he asked the question that had been on his mind for a while.
"Who is Barbra Streisand?" Sam asked, the reactions were a bit mixed.
Kurt spat out his juice, Blaine started choking, Mercedes was looking at him shocked, Tina was just flashing invisible, Puck and Santana(they must have gotten back from Figgins at one point) gave him glare that just screamed why did you bring it up, Finn wasn't paying attention, Quinn looked indifferent, Mike and Matt stopped mid high-five to listen to this conversation, Brittany was just happily smiling along and Artie started to rub his head.
"Who. Is Barbra. Streisand." Kurt said. "Did. He. Seriously. JUST. ASK THAT!"
"Yeah, what's the big deal?" Sam asked.
"Don't get him started." Santana moaned.
"Kurt, honey, just leave him be. He was just asking." Blaine said trying to stop Kurt from hyperventilating.
"But she is so amazing!" Kurt said in a huff.
"Where did you even learn her name." Mercedes spoke up. "No offence, but I didn't take you for the Broadway type, more the comic book nerdy type character."
"Oh so she was on Broadway. Cool." Sam said before going back to eating his food.
"Yeah, but where did you learn her name?" Mercedes pushed it once again.
"Rachel." Sam said.
There was a collective gasp amongst the table. Rory and Sugar, who has just gotten back from the queue sat down and noticed the tension. "What's up guys?" Rory asked unsure.
"Yeah, because Kurt looks like he's about to give birth." Sugar added in, Rory looked at her. "Sorry Aspergers."
"She spoke to you?" Kurt asked astounded.
"No, she just wrote down what she wanted to say again." Sam explained.
"Then why ask about Barbra?" Kurt asked genuinely confused.
"Her middle name is Barbra after Barbra Streisand." Sam explained. " Apparently she's like Rachel's idol."
"She likes Broadway?" Kurt questioned.
"I guess." Sam confirmed.
"And she never told me?" Kurt stammered out.
"She doesn't talk, how could she tell you?" Sam questioned.
"Still, no one here has the same dedication to Broadway as I do." Kurt said and he noticed Blaine's hurt expression. "Sorry honey, but you know it's like my religion."
"That I do." Blaine said in a sigh.
"So, did she tell you anything else?" Quinn asked adding her voice into the mix.
"No, just that." Sam said.
"You are really bad at being a spy." Quinn said agitated.
"I'm not a spy." Sam defended himself.
"Sure." Quinn muttered under her breath.
Mercedes felt the tension built was unbearable so she quickly changed the topic.
"Do you know if they have any tater tots?"
After lunch they quickly made their way to the gym.
"Puck, Satan?" Artie said. "Why were you called to Principal Figgins office. Normally you brag about what you did to us and this time you didn't."
"The douche bag, said we posted a private video of Sue's online." Santana said laughing.
"The video is the funniest thing ever." Puck said laughing as well.
"Did you post it?" Brittany asked. "Because getting in trouble for something you didn't do is bullying."
"No we didn't Britt, but whoever did is a legend." Santana said still laughing.
"He says that if he doesn't find the culprit, he's gonna blame us. Not like we care." Puck said still bursting into hysterics.
"What is the video?" Finn asked.
"Prepare yourself." Santana said walking. "It's bound to be the funniest thing ever."
There was a long pause before Santana finally gave an answer."Coach Sue, dancing, to Olivia Newton-John's physical."
It takes a minute for everyone to imagine that in their heads...
And then to burst out laughing...
And then to fall to the floor...
And then to rush to the computer suite...
Well just Kurt and Blaine...
"Guys, we've got class!" Quinn screeched down the corridor.
"Don't want to be late for Sue!" Mercedes screeched.
"Yeah and if you see the video, you won't be able to look her straight in the eye!" Sugar furthered.
"Fine." Kurt said in a sigh as he walked back with Blaine. "But straight after class we are seeing it!"
"Trust me." Puck said as he patted Kurt on the shoulder."It's worth the wait."
With the promise of watching the funniest video after class, sprits were running high when the group of misfit teens ran into the gym. Wait they realized was them absence of one of their teachers and the glare of another.
"Which one of you posted that video of Sue online?" Mr Schuester asked his class furious. "We know it wasn't Puck or Santana, so which one of you was it?"
"What makes you think it was one of ours?" Mercedes questioned. "It could have been any of the years."
"Well, Sue seems to believe it was someone in this class." Mr Schuester explained. "But I'll let it go for know. Considering though that Sue isn't here and Coach Bieste is still on her trip, I thought we could do some team building exercises today."
This was meet with some cheers, some whoops, some moans, some groans and one hand in the air.
"Yes Rachel." Mr Schuester said but yet he was greeted with silence. "You don't have to do it Rachel but maybe now would be the time to show everybody your power." Everybody now turned to face Rachel. "I believe I've been your teacher for years and yet I don't know your power."
Rachel looked horrified, her eyes went wide, her mouth was just hanging open and she was sitting straight up. After what felt like forever, Rachel started to shake her head, slowly moving at first but it became more vicious like she was trying to shake something off.
"Rachel, calm down." Mr Schuester said walking over to the girl who was clearly freaking out. "Why don't you go outside for a while, to calm down."
Rachel jumped from her seat and ran as fast as her legs could carry her.
"Mr Schue," Finn questioned, "You don't even know her power?"
"No." Mr Schuester said honestly. "I was just told that she was talented but extremely shy."
"So, does anyone know?" Matt asked.
"Just Mrs Pillsbury." Mr Schuester said.
"Not even Figgins?" Mercedes questioned.
"I don't think so." Mr Schuester answered.
"So, no one really knows?" Tina contemplated.
"No." Mr Schuester answered, he took notice of the kids shocked faces. "So team building?" Some reluctantly, some happily, some indifferent, got up and stood in the middle of the hall. "So, we need to get into groups, and because there is only 15 of you because Rachel left, we need to make three groups of five."
"So Finn, Rory, Santana, Artie and Tina in one group."
"Brittany, Sugar, Mike, Blaine and Matt in another."
"And, Sam, Puck, Mercedes, Quinn and Kurt in the last group."
The group got into their smaller groups, except Santana, who looked like she was full of white hot rage. "I'm not with Britts or Puck?" She said with a subtle hint of venom in her voice.
"No, I think it's better for everyone's health and safety if you aren't in the same group as Puck and it just worked out that way with Brittany."Mr Schuester said with a lot of jerky hand movements.
"No, that doesn't work for me."
"Santana-"
"No!" She screamed, her hands engulfed in flames. "I want to be with Britt or Puck!"
"Santana, you could hurt-" Before Mr Schuester could finish, a flame shot of her hand. He dodged but at the same time, the door open revealing Rachel who had just came back. The flaming ball of fire, which was originally aimed for Mr Schuester's head, due to Rachel's small size, it hit her in the stomach and she was flown backwards.
"Mi estrella!" Santana cried out. "Lo siento mucho! Mi estrella!" Santana ran over to Rachel's body and held it in arms. She checked for a pulse. "Kurt!" She shouted. "Help her please!"
Kurt ran over and took the unconscious girl out of Santana's arms and started to heal her, Blaine went over to support Kurt. Everybody else seemed frozen in place.
"EVERYBODY GET OUT!" Santana screamed.
Scared about getting the Latina's wrath, the quickly complied leaving the hall at once, most likely to go back to their dorms and freak the fuck out. Santana, Kurt, Blaine and Mr Schuester stayed. Santana was openly weeping, Kurt was healing back to normal, Blaine was holding onto Kurt's hand for dear life and Mr Schuester was just hovering over them with a constipated baby look on his face, that Finn was infamous for.
Rachel started to breathe again, taking long breaths. Kurt breathed a sigh of relief whilst Santana was still crying and shouting I'm sorry over and over again.
Mr Schuester spoke first. "Why don't we put her in her dorm, let her rest."
Kurt and Blaine nodded whilst Santana selfishly snatched the small girl out of Kurt's hands and placed them in her own, she then stood up with Rachel and led the way, to which the three men could only follow. Santana was silently crying the whole way.
When they finally reached their dorms, Santana walked in, head held high and walked straight to Rachel's room, Mr Schuester and the two boys followed.
"Its locked." Santana said plainly.
"Puck!" Mr Schuester shouted for him to come, it was meet with the pounding of footsteps before Puck appeared in front of him. "Could you use some acid sort of thing to get the door down?"
To this Puck etched the infamous Puckerman smirk on his face that just meant trouble. "Sure thing Mr S."
"To a point where it can still open and close." He explained.
"No fun." Puck said under his breath.
Anyway Puck did his magic and they walked in, taken back by what they saw.
Drawings of them and everyday life filled the walls, posters from Broadway were scattered throughout the room, there were a few photos of the desk, a few of a younger Rachel, one of which contained a younger Santana, there was countless books in bookshelves around the room, and in one corner there was a guitar, piano and a microphone set up. The overall theme of the room was yellow and pink, the bed sheets were yellow and pink and so was the furniture and walls. There was an art easel to the left of the door and to the right was the wardrobe.
Santana placed Rachel in the bed and uttered a single command. "Leave."
Kurt, Blaine and Puck left immediately, Mr Schuester lingered in the hallway but before finally leaving. When they went back to the common room they were greeted with one question from Sam's mouth.
"Is she okay?"
"I healed her," Kurt explained, "And Santana is with her."
"I think this goes without saying, but class is dismissed. I want all of you to get an early night's rest. Don't go in to Rachel's room, I think Santana just wants to be alone with her right now." Mr Schuester said.
"Why?" Brittany questioned.
"Yeah, Santana and Rachel have made not contact since they came here." Mike said explaining what Brittany meant.
"I'm just guessing but I think they knew each other before they came here, there was a picture of Santana and Rachel on Rachel's desk. They were a lot younger." Blaine explained for Mr Schuester this time.
A silence fell over the group, they had to many questions and too little answers.
"She has two gay dads." Santana said as she emerged from Rachel's room.
"What?" Quinn asked because normally Santana was the bluntest person she had ever met, but she was not talking any sense right now.
"That's why she stood up for Kurt today." Santana informed them.
"Is she okay?" Sam asked.
"She's sleeping," Santana answered and then she went back to Rachel's room.
"As I was saying class is dismissed. Good night." Mr Schuester said as he left the room.
Nobody was really up for anything, so they all just went back to their separate dorms, to totally sleep, yes totally.
Sorry but I couldn't help adding in all about Sue's physical video, and a little Pezberry friend ship. Don't worry this fanfic is totally still Samchel.
Anyway completely sorry for late chapter, it was hard to write I kept changing and changing the story line. I was going to add in another couple getting together but it just didn't fit.
Anyway please Review
