Shadows gathered in the cold night, white mist forming every time they took a breath, the only thing signaling the presence of human beings in the environment. Every member of the Resistance dressed in dark clothing, they had to find a way to make it almost impossible for the humanoids to notice their presence. Using the element of surprise gave them a slight advantage to their opponents, addressing that say opponents where abnormally strong and fast. 'May be this wasn't such a good idea.'
Santana and Puck arrived at the front of the high school, both panting from the extensive running but remaining hidden from the naked eye. Santana took a look at her surroundings noticing that her troops had managed to arrive also at the front of the school. There where some moving cautiously from side to side using the never dying trees to hide themselves, while others just analyzed the area in front of them waiting anxiously for their leader's command. Santana spotted her two snipers and with a head nod she made the signal for them to go and find the right position in order to cover the group at the moment of attack. Both Johnny and Ruth nodded and rapidly armed themselves getting lost again within the hollow night.
Finally Santana took the moment to analyze the situation; she took a set of binoculars of the left side of Puck's dark pants.
"Let's see what we've got here." whispered the raven beauty.
She adjusted the binoculars and with calmness and a soft voice started informing her officer about the movements made on the premises of the school. Puck was her trusted officer and second in command, she trusted the man with her life. Not only was he her dearest friend but also the guy knew how to create plans of attack that where almost flawless. He was amazing at analyzing the situation with speed and almost every time his engaging plans managed to get her and the troops a victory.
"Ok… I see two hideously big guards at the front gates of the school, there are five seekers with those infected dogs walking the premises of the parking." Puck only remained in deep concentration.
"I don't see any movement of large groups of people; it just seems to be only those seven with the five dogs." Santana lowered the binoculars and looked at her friend.
"Doesn't it seem kind of strange? You're sure the informant said they were moving with the group of humans?
"Yes, Santana; he said they discovered a large group hiding in some dinner and instead of killing them they took them prisoners for some sort of infecting experiment."
While the two friends talked distractedly they failed to notice the incoming of a truck into the parking lot of the school. Only when some shouting was herd thru the silence of the night did the two stopped there rambling and realize something was going on at the school. Santana quickly used the binoculars to see the reason of movement. Searching frantically the change in the school premises did she notice that a truck had arrived at the school, the seekers where holding back there dogs to stop them from ravishing whomever had arrived and from the inside of the school came running other infected. She saw them open the back doors of the truck with force and start to reach the inside, suddenly out of the truck came the first sight of humans, they were chained from hands to feet and to one another making it impossible for any of them to flee. This made Santana inhale sharply and intensify the strength she was using to hold the binoculars in place.
"What is going on?" she herd Puck whisper a bit loudly
Without stopping to look at the scenery before her, Santana started to fill her officer in.
"I think the group of humans that the informant was talking to you about have just arrived and Jesus, there's some children and oldies…we need to head in Puck, this people cannot suffer whatever this bastards have in mind."
But while she talked something managed to catch her attention or perhaps someone, she really was certainly not expecting this. Santana watched how a long legged blonde appeared from the inside of the truck that was holding the prisoners. She instantly recognized the look on the girls blue eyes, showing pure fear and confusion. All the sudden her thoughts were transported into the past.
It was one of those mornings where waking up at 6:00 am just seemed sacrilege. It was pouring rain, the sky was as dark as the night before and the wind made a distinctive noise, familiar to a giant's growl. Santana knew this wasn't going to be a pleasant run but a routine was a routine and she wasn't about to skip a morning training because of the mood the weather seemed to be in. So she got up, dressed in her military exercise hoddie, put her iPod on and headed out the door.
About half an hour of running thru 'Lima Heights Adjacent' she decided it was time to head back home, the weather was becoming worst and even she knew when not to push the boundaries. But before she could have time to round back she felt something hard slam into the back of her knees, the force not being enough to send her flying but certainly enough to knock her into the pavement.
"Ouch! Fuck!" Screamed the Latina a bit disoriented
"Oh my God!" She herds the scream of a woman's voice. Santana still on the floor didn't realize what had happened, it was still raining and she couldn't see or hear well for that matter.
"Are you ok?" Shouted the female voice once again
Santana finally decided to actually try and find the owner of the voice and looking up from the floor she was faced with the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen, eyes that were filled with fear and slight confusion.
"Please tell me you're alright! I'm so sorry! I didn't see you because of this rain!" Santana could hear the distress in the other woman's voice.
Suddenly everything became clear, the woman heading out of her garage in reverse had not notice the Latina standing in the street, in consequence running over her with the back of the car. Santana started to get up from the pavement and felt the woman's trembling hands take her by the arms to try and help her stand up.
Fuck to say that this girl was beautiful was an understatement, she had long blonde hair that was dripping wet from the exposition to rain making it stick to the side of her angelic face, she was taller than her and looking down the Latina notice the amazingly long legs, the woman's skin was white as paper and looked smoother than satin, yet the most charming feature of the blonde was her eyes, they had a shape like no other and where aqua blue, engaging to say the least. Santana was unable to hold her stare.
"Jesus" whispered the raven beauty while passing an also trembling hand thru her wet ponytail.
Seeing the still anxious look on the blonde's amazing eyes she decided to rid her of misery.
"I'm ok, just a bit shaken up." She noticed how the woman relaxed; making her feel also more relax.
"Oh thank God! I thought you were badly hurt…look I'm so sooo sorry, I should have been paying more attention, but seriously in my defense I wasn't expecting someone in the middle of the street at this weather."
"It's ok, I'm ok!" snapped a bit the Latina
"Good" silence filled the air, only the pound of the rain was herd.
"Ummm, at least let me take you home. I'll feel much better knowing you're safe and making sure no one else runs over you."
The blonde started running back to her car.
Santana stood there not knowing what to do but suddenly the sound of a horn alerted her.
"Come on! I don't bite!" shouted the blonde from her car
The ride to Santana's house was silent, both girls not knowing what to do or how to cut the awkward silence. The Latina only talking in order to give instructions of where her house was, not 5 minutes passed and they were at the front of her house.
"Are you sure you're ok? I can take you to the hospital if you feel like something hurts?" the blonde being the one to start the conversation.
"Um no, I'm good. Nothing really hurts." The Latina didn't know why she felt so nervous in front of the blonde girl.
"Ok well… I'm Brittany." The blue eyed woman extended her hand to the Latina. Santana looked at it for a second and then shook it. She felt a bolt of electricity pass thru her hand.
"Santana" the Latina took her hand away almost immediately, noticing a slight pain expression on the other woman's face.
"Well Santana it's really nice to meet you, I'm so sorry for the circumstances in which we had to meet. Anything you need please don't hesitate to come find me, now that you know where I live. It's the least I can do." The blonde smiled sweetly and Santana had a hard time ignoring the butterflies that found their way into her stomach.
"Ok, thanks"
Santana's thoughts came crashing down to the present.
"Oh my God that's Brittany."
"Say what?" Puck was a bit confuse with his leaders statement
"One of the prisoners, it's a girl I met before the attack. She lived near my home."
Puck took the binoculars from the Latinas hands and looked to the scenario himself. After a small pause he said,
"Something tells me it's the blonde bombshell."
"Yes you asshole." The Latina just rolled her eyes, his officer always knew what she was thinking or seeing, sometimes it annoyed the hell out of her.
Puck was staring at her with a slight grin and before Santana could snap at him a loud shot was herd from the school, making both friends jump a bit and alerting the troops that had been resting on their sides. Santana quickly took the binoculars and looked at the front, her heart pounding forcefully inside her chest and her stomach making her a bit nauseous. She found the one person she feared had been killed but to her relieve the blonde was still up and chained, beside her a body of a young man. Santana watched how the blue eyed woman tried to reach down to the man but was stopped by the hands of one of the guards pulling her up by the hair. Her expression one of pure pain and her eyes crying desperately, the seekers moved close to the prisoners and used the dogs to inflict fear and make them start to move together thru the gates and into the building.
Santana was outraged; she couldn't take any more waiting her troops had to attack now. She wasn't gonna let any of this humans suffer any longer and now that she saw the blonde woman was one of the prisoners this mission had really become personal.
"Noah it's time to head into the premises, those fuckers are moving the prisoners inside the school and they just killed a young man." Her officer nodded and turned to the troops signaling that the wait was over and it was time for business.
Santana turned on her ear scanner; she used it to stay in touch with the base and some of her soldiers. This time it was connected to Johnny and Ruth's scanners, they were the ones that she needed to know were at the right location. Without her snipers covering them it would be almost impossible to reach the inside of the school without being killed.
"Snipers do you copy?" whispered the leader, not a second passed and she was answered.
"Yes mam" said a female voice
"Are both of you in position?"
"That's right mam, both Ruth and I manage to infiltrate the school surroundings, we had to take out to more seekers that were guarding the borders, but they were relatively easy. I think they were already injured by someone."
Santana thought about the shot and the young man on the floor besides Brittany. Perhaps that's what happened.
"Alright guys, we're heading in. It's there any more infected that we need to be aware of?"
"I don't think so mam, either way we'll be on the lookout."
"Thanks Ruth"
"Welcome, go get' em"
Santana nodded and took her machine gun out, looking at her officer that was also ready and at her troops that were all looking expectantly at her. She took a long and steady breath and made what she thought was a small prayer to the heavens; she hoped some being was able to hear.
The signal was made to head out and her troops started to divide in two while they ran, she told them not to engage head on, it was much better to attack from the sides. She believed they'll do what was told, they respected her authority.
Santana and Puck moved fast but silently, making their way into the side of the building, but the silence was soon disrupted by the loud barks and growls of a dog. Santana rapidly turned around and was faced by an incoming dog with saliva dripping from his mouth. She moved to a slightly bent position waiting for the jump of the dog. To her surprise the dog's attention moved to her officer and instead of jumping to attack her it jumped for Puck's throat.
"Noah look out!" Her officer quickly used the back of his shotgun to hit the infected animal on the face, it stopped the dog from biting his throat but it wasn't enough to stop the attack.
Santana took aim at the dog with her machine gun but before she could pull the trigger she felt the impact of a body. It took her by surprise making her lose her balance and hit the floor. Her machine gun went flying from her hands and when she manage to look up she saw a female seeker reaching down in order to pull her up the floor. Santana quickly used her legs to kick the bitch in her stomach, the hit only manage to move the infected woman slightly back.
At least it gave the Latina a second to get up the floor and run to get her machine gun. She was so close and when she reached down to get it she felt a strong hand pull her hair making her bend back. The seeker took that moment to hit her straight on the chest with an elbow sending the Latina to the floor. But before Santana could be pounded once again she felt her silver gun slip from her side, this was all the Latina needed to kill the bitch. She took the gun rapidly on her right hand and waited a second for the seeker to bend down and try to pull her up once more. When the infected female's hands found their way into her collar, Santana quickly used her left hand to make the space between them less and put her gun on the right temple of her attacker, without a second loss she pulled the trigger, making the bullet fly thru the head. The body went limp and collapsed onto the Latina. She quickly pushed it off her and got up to help Puck, she saw her friend trying desperately to shake the big dog off him.
Santana quickly ran to where her machine gun laid, took it from the floor and still running she kicked the animal's side with force. The big dog landed on the floor and before it could blink to get up she took aim and shot the hideous thing.
"Fucking ugly bastard!" she herd her officer say while getting up the floor
Santana quickly looked at her friend and reach her hand forward for her friend to get up.
"Are you alright?" asked the Latina
"Yeah babe I'm good, I almost had it you know."
"Sure you did Puckerman." Said the raven beauty with a slight grin
"Ok, let's keep going. Those people are still in there and there's no fucking way I'll let them get infected or killed."
Puck nodded and started to run forward, the Latina not far away, she only hoped that a certain blonde would still be unharmed.
