Hey guys! Sorry for the no update for a long time since... well forever, but you know. School, honors and friends. But here you go!

"Rachel, do you need this?" Finn was holding up a light pink notebook with a huge gold star with Rachel's name on it in her cursive handwriting. Rachel shook her head as she entered her closet and stuffed all the clothes she needed. Rachel had discarded all skirts since she had a feeling that they would be doing a lot of running. Rachel's gaze turned to her hand as her fingers grazed something cold. Her tears started again as she lifted up a recent picture of the Glee Club over the summer. It was of all twelve of them, plus Matt before he transferred to another school in Texas. They were all in their summer clothes such as tank tops and shorts. It was one of the funnest days of Rachel's life. It was that moment in time when Mercedes' statement at the beginning of the year was true.

They were family. Nothing was ever going to break them.

"Rach?" Finn found her in her closet, huddled up in the corner as her knuckles turned white holding the picture of New Directions. Finn immediately took her in his arms as she curled into his chest and clutched his shirt, her tears coming down in streams.

"Rachel. Rachel look at me." Finn used his hand to lightly make Rachel face him. Once she did, her tears started up again as Finn kissed her forehead lightly.

"They're going to be okay baby, but we have to get out of here now. Hey, hey. Everything's going to be okay baby. Everything's going to be okay." Finn rocked Rachel back and forth for a few minutes before helping her up.

"We have to go Rach. I have to grab a few things from my house then we're going." Rachel nodded as she wiped the remaining tears and zipped up her duffel bag, grabbing her wallet and phone before taking one last look into her room and closing the door.

She definitely wasn't seeing it for long time.

Now the nervous couple was in Finn's room as Finn gathered around to grab some stuff, throwing in some clothes and his lap top into the duffel bag that was on his bed. Finn took Rachel's hand and squeezed it as they made their way to the car. Rachel had left her fathers a note and Finn his mother. Finn threw his stuff into the trunk and tugged on her hand, only to feel her resist.

"I have to go to the bathroom okay?" Finn nodded as Rachel let go of his hand. Finn rather reluctantly watched as she disappeared back into the house. He really didn't want to let her out of his sight. She had close brush with death today and only then did it hit Finn how serious the situation had been. She had almost died. Finn would never know how to react if that actually happened. The moment he saw her with the gun pressed against her head, he felt like his whole world was collapsing around him. Finn brushed his hand against his face and felt a bit of moisture. Fuck. Was he crying? Men don't cry. Men do not cry... But when all that you love in life was about to be ripped away from you, then what? Finn looked to the distance and saw the familiar McKinley High School building when he suddenly heard something that made his blood run cold.

It was a gunshot and Quinn's scream.

The masked man had entered the room again, this time aiming not for Rachel Berry, but the rest of New Directions. He couldn't let his plan get ruined.

He couldn't let her live.

So he had to make sure no one was getting in his way. Starting with that pathetic little Glee club of hers. He had spent months trying to learn about her life (Star of New Directions, honor student, slushy target, mortal enemy of Quinn Fabray, liked some guy named Finn, broke up with him, dated some guy named Jesse, broke up with him then started dating Finn.), asking people around Lima about information about her, plotting this whole thing so it wouldn't go wrong. What he wasn't expecting was her boyfriend to come behind him and whack him with the fucking fire extinguisher.

"All of you, shut the fuck up!" The masked man yelled as everyone tried desperately to calm down their sobs. He was so screwed. He was pretty sure Schuester pressed that damn emergency button! The fact that he looked more confident and he came inside the room telling everyone that it was going to be okay tipped him off. Without warning, he grabbed the closest blonde cheerleader and held the gun to her head.

"Follow me. Any of you try to run little Ms. Head Cheerleader here gets it okay?" Puck clenched and unclenched his fists as he saw fear pass Quinn's eyes. No one laid their crummy little hands on his baby mama if he could help it. The masked man started walking out of the room, eyes on all of them as they followed him out of the school and into the forest near the school. After a few minutes they reached a clearing in the forest.

"Line up!" Everyone scrambled into a line as he cocked the gun, Quinn gulping. Suddenly, the sound of sirens were heard. The masked man muttered the word 'Shit!' under his breath before placing a finger over the trigger.

"Listen up, all of you are not to tell anyone what happened today okay? If you do, I will find out." Puck snickered for a moment but the masked man caught him and pointed the gun to him, the loud bang echoing throughout the forest, as well as Quinn's scream. The bullet missed him by inches, grazing his skin as it impacted the tree behind him.

"I will find out. Like the fact little Ms. Santana and Brittany over are going to make out after school today at 4:07 in the ladies restroom, our local fag-" Kurt let out a heartbreaking sob "-had plans with a boy named Darren today, or that Tina and Mike had plans of sleeping together tonight." Everyone now looked terrified. First he had almost shot Puck, now he was telling them that he was watching them?

"I know what's happening with you guys. I know. So you even try telling anyone, I will take you out. One by one. By the way, nice Spongebob boxers cripple." Artie looked shocked. How the hell did he know that? His shirt was tucked into his pants, and it was a spur of the moment decision this morning. They couldn't do anything but watch as the masked man ran away into the darkness, a bleeding Puck on the ground and bear a secret that would change their lives.

He ran and ran and ran until he couldn't run anymore. He finally reached the specific tree before using a branch to elevate himself and climb up all the way to the top to a secluded tree house that he had built when he first moved here. It had light and running water, (he was quite skillful with his hands) and on the wall were all the things he needed to know. He was a tech-savy geek since he was in the AV club so he had 13 different monitors. One for each room of each Glee club member. It took him long to plot each one, and the hardest was Berry's since she just had so much stuff in that lame-ass room of hers and he had enough of watching Rachel and her boyfriend playing tonsil hockey to last him a lifetime. He pushed himself away from the monitors and instead looked at all the stuff tacked to the wall. They were schedules, articles, receipts, the whole nine yards. If he was going to kill someone and not get caught, he better do it right. His temper suddenly raged as he punched the wall, causing some of the stuff on the walls to fall off when suddenly something caught his eye. He looked outside the window and saw the paramedics wrapping a bandage around the bullet's graze on the mohawk boy on the ambulance and growled as he grabbed the radio and the floor and tweaked it so he could hear their entire conversation.

"Who shot him? Did you see the guy?" The paramedic was asking as Quinn sobbed, holding Puck's hand as he moaned and groaned. The teacher looks hesitant, he thought as he continued to watch and listen in.

"No, we didn't see him." The policeman who approached them frowned.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." The policeman sighed before leaving to inspect the bullet that was lodged into the tree. The Glee club just stood there in silence until the sirens had faded in the distance.

"Why didn't you tell them Mr. Schue?" The geek in the wheelchair said. The teacher shook his head.

"He's watching guys. I know it." Damn right he was. He smiled in victory as he reached into his pocket and lit a cigarette. Berry on the run, fear of all the Glee club members?

This was going to be a piece of cake.
