A/N: Sorry for the wait guys! It's been hectic but I hope you enjoy this update. Last we left off Quinn had declared that she was back on the market. Literally, I wrote Quinn in a way that, she's not wanting to die. But she would rather die than be shackled off into a forced marriage like her mom. So a lot of her fear about ending up like her mom plays into this whole story about why it's so difficult for her to just find her lover already.

But yes, just a quick commentary to my reviewer but I hope you like this!

310 days left...

"Did you hear? Quinn is back on the market."

"Really?"

"Yes, shes back and now she's game for either team."

"God, I knew that Christian families bred secretly repressed gays in their households."

"I think I am going to ask her out."

"Quinn only comes to you."

"Well, she seems desperate enough."

Quinn walked through the halls timidly. Everyone had been staring at her as if she were a piece of meat. The girls and boys of McKinley High were all smitten by her. She was scared of walking through the halls alone that she had to wait for Mike to come by all the time and walk her to class. She dreaded a new boy or girl coming up to her and asking to take her out on a date.

She couldn't do it. She couldn't take hearing the whispers, listening to the cheap methods of asking for a date, or the idea of being with anyone at all.

Time was going by. It was going by faster than Quinn could even think. She was just thanking god that she would not have to deal with college on top of this. Then again, she wouldn't be missing too much because without a mate, she'd be...right...dead.

Quinn turned a corner and walked into the cafe. She saw Brittany and Santana looking at the lunch laid before them longingly. This was it. Nationals were only five days away. Then Regionals were the week after. Once those stressful things were out of the way, Quinn could be on her merry way looking for a mate.

Brittany turned her head to Santana before placing her head on the dark haired girl's shoulder. She let out a sigh.

"Hey, guys, how are you doing?" Quinn asked as she sat down. Maybe, I should enlist their help.

"Enlist our help with what?" Santana asked as she rolled over the lettuce, her free hand through Brittany's ponytail. Brittany seemed to look paler than usual.

"Is she okay?" She stared hard at Brittany, who was barely lucid.

"Everything in the spring bothers us," Santana answered as Brittany buried her face into the crook of her neck. "The days are getting longer and we don't have enough time to hunt for food."

Quinn stared, somewhat thankful that Vampires were sensitive to seasonal changes. Nymphs had always been welcoming of every season that nothing ever really brought them down.

She stared at Brittany and Santana. They had come a long way to get where they were. Santana surprisingly could not live without Brittany, no matter how much of a bitch she was. They had been together for centuries, never dying. A fatal deal with Satan damned them to an eternity of bloodsucking from scraps of animals. However, that didn't seem to matter because they were together. They hunted together, fought together, and lived together.

It had became a wonder that they remained so secretive to the world. Quinn knew one day they would just pick up and leave for awhile before coming back again.

They defined soul mates. They truly were together forever and not because they had to be, but because they wanted to be. So, who cared about playing as teenagers in little cheerleading uniforms from a small town? They didn't, as long as they were together, it was always going to be okay for all eternity.

"So, Q? What did you need our help with?" Santana continued. Quinn blinked, trying to remember what she was thinking of. Brittany whispered into her ear causing Santana to let out a snort. "Okay, baby, rest up, we've got Cheerios until late again." The blonde nodded before closing her eyes. Santana suddenly turned her attention to Quinn. "So, you need to find a mate before your 18th birthday is that it?"

Quinn's jaw dropped. It was always astounding that Brittany knew more than she let on. She didn't know how to respond with Santana staring at her with a dirty smile.

"You want our help finding you one, don't you?" The dark brown eyes carried a slight glint that was barely noticeable. Quinn gulped. "It's okay, Q. No one wants to die and in your case die alone. It is just funny that you would think to enlist us for help."

"Well, I didn't have too many options," Quinn mumbled as she looked down to her fingers. Leave it to Santana to make her feel so awkward. She was supposed to be top dog, unwavering to anyone. "You and Brittany are the only ones that understand how dire this situation is."

Santana wrinkled her nose at the way Quinn spoke. It was so proper. "God, Q. Stop being dramatic. Look, we will help you find at a mate as long as you do something for us."

Quinn felt a weight lift until Santana had started attaching the strings. "What?" she didn't want to ask.

"Help us find more prey," Santana licked her teeth with a smile. Brittany's ears perked at the sound of prey.

"I can't just do that! They are innocent animals. I can't just bring them to you." Quinn protested vehemently. She cultivated life and all that was around her. Leading a defenseless animal to be dinner for Santana and Brittany would be against what she was. However, she had to weigh her options because she noticed two things; one: her deadline was getting closer and two: Brittany and Santana were not going to live long without blood.

Santana's eyes said it all as she stared hard at the blonde. Quinn stared at Brittany, who was nestled closely against Santana. She was weak and tired but she kept going. The blonde never left Santana's side and neither did Santana. They were meant to be together. Goddamnit. Just because I sympathize.

"Okay...fine, I will help," Quinn conceded. "Just as long as you comb through all the people that want to ask me first. I don't wanna deal with that awkward meet and greet stuff."

Santana let out a relieved smile that was barely noticeable. She kissed Brittany gently and muttered something. The blonde held Santana even more tightly.

305 days...

Quinn stepped into the gymnasium and wondered how anyone could possibly find this place suitable. The lights were artificial, the air was artificial, and the people were clearly artificial. Everyone held PDAs, cellphones, iPods, and any other electronic known to man.

God, this is where they placed Nationals? It's killing me. Quinn tried to remain calm but she suddenly found the desperate need for the outdoors.

Sue had made them practice outside the whole week and she was so glad. She was alive, she felt the air under her arms, through her hair, in her face. It was nature.

Now, the bleary lights were suffocating Quinn. She could barely breathe the intoxicating air of perfumes, deodorants, and food. They blended into each other with a horrible taste.

"Are you okay, Quinn?" Brittany asked as she studied the girl. Quinn turned to the other blonde and saw the comforting eyes stare at her. Brittany placed her hand on Quinn's back. "You look like you can't breathe."

Quinn shook her head. She was still a Fabray. No matter what, she was always going to remain strong. She had to perform well or Sue would have her head. "I am perfectly fine Brittany."

"Are you worried about the competition because Santana says she's nervous too."

"No, I just need to focus that's all. I am a nymph, so I am used to being outside." Quinn gave a reassuring smile. Brittany nodded, understanding what she meant.

"Thank you for helping us, by the way."

"It's no problem; you guys are a great deal of help too." Quinn smiled and hugged the taller girl. "Come on, let's go follow the rest of the team."

"Q, this is it," Sue said as she appeared out of nowhere. Both of the blonde slightly jumped at the sight of the older woman. "With this victory in our pockets, I would be able to get that hovercraft that I've been petitioning Figgins to let me have. I know that you have been quite distracted with other business. Namely that godforsaken Glee club. I have let it slide during practice but this is the real deal. If you screw this up it will be back to the bottom for you. Don't expect anymore privileges from the Cheerios anymore."

Quinn sighed as the woman walked away from them. She remained confident.

A loud sound of thunder crashed and shook the building. Quinn jumped at the sound. Goddamnit, I have to stop that. A crowd screamed and everyone turned their attention. Quinn looked over and frowned as the entrance was blown open by a sudden gust of air.

The fresh outdoor air reached Quinn and she inhaled it gratefully. That wasn't enough for her though. She wanted it more and she didn't know why. More air flooded in and Quinn shut her eyes. In the distance, Quinn could hear humming. It was soothing her heart as she filled her lungs with air. It sounded like a goddess singing to her. Her spirits started to uplift itself and the crashing thunder was easing in her heart.

Good luck, Quinn. You are going to do phenomenally...

Quinn shot open her eyes and looked around frantically. The melodious and amorous voice filled her mind. It was so distinct that Quinn thought she was only imagining it. She looked for the source of it but everything seemed to calm down.

Her heart ebbed with ease as the window caressed her one last time. She smiled brightly before continuing her way to the Cheerios' station to prepare.

Quinn felt a tug at her heart as she did the routine. Her body tensed on its own and she couldn't understand why. The sound of rain hitting the windows perked her ears. She felt something off as she somersaulted three times into her teammates' arms.

Gravity loosened its grip around her and let her float up into the air. She took her time to do it gracefully and perfectly. She landed upright and felt the other girls pick her up. In a single shot, she used her powers to lift her, making it easier for the girls to toss her up. She spun around in the air but still felt that tugging feeling in her heart.

It did her no good. There was a chance that she would messed up the final jump. It was complicated. The one that Sue Sylvester would become an icon for if Quinn landed it perfectly. A somersault and split in the air was all Quinn had to do.

Quinn spun around in the routine, staring off into the crowd with a million watt smile. That's how Sue wanted to see it.

Relax, control your powers...

The voice came back again and Quinn almost lost her footing as she stepped into the hands of the other girls. It was the final leap.

You can do it, Quinn...

Quinn bent her knees and shut her eyes. She felt the other girls' hands push her up and she launched herself into the air.

You can do it...

Quinn nodded to the voice and let the weight on her heart disappear. She felt the ground disappear beneath her. The sound of the crowd went silent as she got higher up into the air. Quinn tucked her legs in quickly and spun around. A breeze picked up and surrounded Quinn. She smiled and opened her eyes once the somersault was done, she kicked her legs apart to launch into a split. The air was like cushion underneath her as she brought her legs back together and proceed to gently float into her teammates' arms.

The crowd roared again as the glittering air brushed across the whole floor. The ground gleamed with a refreshing scent of natures that left Quinn smiling. Her feet found the floor.

Quinn looked around and saw Sue smiling brightly at her. It was a success; the Nationals title was theirs. Quinn smiled inside, one thing down, one more to go.

Good job today...you were more than fantastic...

The soft voice lulled Quinn to sleep that night.

Rachel blew into the aulos softly as she sat with the window open. The soft melodious sound floated into the empty night. The sound would eventually find its way to its owner. She suddenly stopped and stared out of her window into the dark, starry night. She smiled to herself as she felt her heart beating along with someone else's.

"Good job today...you were more than fantastic...," she whispered softly into the night.

So that was the end of my latest update! I just thought about the story even further so the update might take awhile but yes, I might change some parts dramatically but hopefully updates will still at least come. Thanks for getting to this end. Review!
