Chapter 3

Rachel sat awkwardly in the living room blushing like a beet and trying her best to avoid looking in Quinn's direction. Quinn sat relaxed at the other end of the couch staring at Rachel and giggling.

Don't look at her. Don't look at her. Even if she is staring at you with those eyes…

Rachel glanced over to Quinn who only continued to stare at her and smirk. She winked at Rachel and the small girl quickly diverted her eyes to…anything other than those eyes.

Oh god oh god, she can hear me. How can she possibly hear me over that?

A loud crash and moan came from the back room.

"I'm use to it. They do that several times a day." Quinn responded.

"Huh?" Rachel looked at her confused.

Oh yeah, she can hear me.

"Yep."

Okay Rachel, think about something else other than Brittany and Santana having sex. Don't think about sex. No sex. Sex. Sex with Quinn. No! No! NO!

"At least buy me dinner first." Quinn teased.

"Can you please not do that?" Rachel begged. "Can you get out of my head please?"

"I can't really help it. It's just as hard for me to stay out as it is for you to control your thoughts."

"Is that why you get so many headaches?" Rachel asked.

"Yes. When I'm around a lot of people, it's like being in a loud crowded room. That's why I usually just stay around the house with Santana."

"Why is she locked up?" Rachel was actually very curious about that. "She's not dangerous is she?"

"Not dangerous like in a violent way." Quinn explained. "Her power can be pretty destructive though. She's new to her power too, like you, and can't really control it yet."

"What can she do?"

"Well, like Brittany, her power affects you physically."

Another loud crash and a series of loud grunts and moans interrupted Quinn. She smiled and shook her head before continuing.

"Let's just say she's very…seductive. As you may have noticed, she's very attractive."

So are you.

"Thank you."

Oh god shut up Rachel!

"So when you're near her, you can really feel her pull, and she uses that to get you close. After that, with a touch, she can…well manipulate your senses and…turn you on so to say."

Another loud crash sounded but Quinn continued.

"Now, she can do more that. More than the sexual manipulation, but she doesn't really know how. Nor does she really care to know how. When you get to know her you'll understand. She really enjoys sex."

"But why lock her up?"

"Um well, when we did move her in, she managed to sleep with practically everyone on our floor and broke up a marriage downstairs. So until she gets it under control, we can't really let her out."

"So Brittany…are they together?" Rachel asked hesitantly. Quinn nodded. "She doesn't mind Santana's power I guess, must be a plus." She joked.

"Brittany doesn't let Santana use her power on her." Quinn stated.

"But I thought she couldn't control…"

"They're in love."

"What?"

"They're in love." Quinn repeated and shrugged. "We didn't know this could happen but when Brit found Santana, they really connected. After a while, once they really bonded and fell in love, they found out that they can mute each other's power."

"Because of the connection." Rachel nodded, taking it all in. "So how will I find out what it is that I can do?"

"We'll have to wait and see what triggers it. From the look of it, it may have been anger or something."

They sat on the couch in silence. Well, other than the sounds of Santana and Brittany's obnoxious sex.

"So, what am I suppose to do? Stay here?"

Quinn looked at Rachel shyly and nodded.

"Yes, that's what Brittany wants."

"But why? Do you guys need me for something?"

Quinn nodded and now was the one avoid eye contact.

"My headaches."

"What am I suppose to do about those? Isn't that what Brittany's for?" Rachel asked.

"She thinks…" Quinn took a deep breath. "She thinks you're my mate."

"Excuse me?"

"She thinks that because she can mute Santana's power that means they're mates of some kind. She said when she met Santana she felt this connection. I don't know, it's dumb." She finally looked up at Rachel. "Just stay around for a few day, entertain Brit's theory."

"Do you want me too?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah, for Brit…"

"No, I mean…mute your power?"

Before Quinn could answer, Brittany came out of the room with Santana in hand.

"Hey, sorry about that." Santana said to Rachel. "I can't help it sometimes."

"I fixed it." Brittany said smiling back at Santana. "Did Quinn finish explaining everything?"

"Yeah." Rachel said clearing her throat and breaking eye contact with Quinn.

"So, are you gonna stay?" She asked hopefully.

Rachel glanced at Quinn before looking back at Brittany and giving her a small smile.

"Yeah, I'll stay for a bit."


Rachel moved in the next day. She only took a few things from her little apartment. Honestly, she didn't really mind the move. Her apartment was crap anyway. She was however nervous.

She was moving into an apartment with three girls she didn't really know, and with the intention to fall in love with a stranger.

I agreed to fall in love with her so I can heal her headaches? Tell her to take an aspirin. No, I'm helping her. I'm being selfless. Plus she's very pretty. Those eyes.

Quinn cleared her throat, snapping Rachel out of her thoughts.

"Sorry." Rachel said shyly.

The two girls were on the way back to the apartment to move in Rachel's things in. Quinn had insisted on driving because Rachel's car was a piece of crap. Rachel's thought, not Quinn's, Quinn had simply agreed with the thought.

"It's okay. I'd rather listen to your inner conflicts and compliments than Santana's sex thoughts all day."

"What about Brit? What does she think about?"

"Santana…and ducks." Quinn laughed.

The two girls pulled up to a stop light, another car pulling up beside them.

"So where will I be sleeping? You guys only have three rooms and it would be pretty rude to insist I stay and then make me sleep on the couch." Rachel rambled.

"No, you'll be in Brit's…" Quinn took a deep breath and put her hand to her head. "…Brit's room. She sleeps in Santana's room anyway."

Rachel looked over to Quinn.

"Are you okay? You look like you're going to be sick." She asked concerned.

"It's loud."

"What?"

"The yelling."

Rachel looked at Quinn and then to the car beside them. The woman in the car, though Rachel couldn't hear her, was clearly yelling at the man beside her. She continued to look around and saw that on the other side of the car was a man yelling into his cell phone.

"Quinn, do you want me to drive."

"No." Quinn shook her head.

The light turned green and Quinn drove off.

There were only two people; I could only imagine a room full of people.

"It's not the greatest thing. I try to avoid that."

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"I said I'm fine." Quinn snapped.

"Okay, sorry."

They continued to drive, Rachel trying to stay as quiet as possible. It was hard to keep her thoughts quiet, but she didn't want to bother Quinn. She settled on singing along in her head to the song on the radio.

They were a few blocks from the apartment when Quinn turned the radio all the way down mid song. Rachel looked over to her expecting her to say something.

"I like hearing you." Quinn admitted shyly. Rachel blushed and went back to looking out the window and singing in her head.

They finally pulled up in the parking garage and got Rachel's few boxes up to Brittany's room. Rachel was unpacking when she heard a light tap on the open door. She turned around to see Quinn standing there.

"Are you hungry? I'm ordering Chinese."

"Yeah, that sounds fine. Thank you." Rachel said and went back to unpacking.

"Hey Rachel?"

"Yeah?" Rachel said turning back around.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier. It's just when things get too loud, I get a little mean I guess."

"I understand." Rachel nodded. "You were mean when I first met you remember?" She joked. "Turns out you're not so bad."

Quinn smiled shyly.

"I'll go order the food."

"Ok." Rachel smiled.

Quinn walked out of the room and Rachel let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

She's so sweet.

"Thank you." Quinn responded back.

Rachel only laughed and went back to her task at hand.

This is going to be interesting.
