Chapter 4:

What in the world would Quinn want. I mean she basically said she wanted nothing to do with me. She thought that I would hurt her. Who the hell would hurt her? She seems as if she keeps a bunch of her feeling tucked away until they come spilling out of her. Maybe she wanted to apologize?

'Yes, where at?' I respond with, and almost like she was waiting by the phone she responded within a minute with an address.

...

I typed the address in my GPS and it brought me to an old church. I stepped out of car, walking through an old cemetery that gave me the creeps. I grabbed the door of the church and entered. There were many pews on both sides of an aisle and stain glass windows covering the walls.

I could hear footsteps coming from a side room. I see Quinn appear from the corner room. Her hair in a loose pony tail, a black leather jacket , jeans and black boots. She had her arms folded as she walked in my direction.

" This place looks old but unique" I break the silence, and I sit in one of the pews.

She unfolds her arms and looks around at the walls, "Yeah, I like to come here to think sometimes. I feel safe here. It's quiet and no one ever comes here, besides me" She smirked and I could feel and smile start to form on my face.

"So, I asked you to come here so I could apologize, and I don't apologize often. What I did last night wasn't cool, and you were just trying to be nice and I had to go ruin everything" She looked down and she sat beside me.

"It's okay, It's okay Quinn. I've been shot down before and I can handle it" I chuckled softly.

"That's not the point San, I need to learn to get my emotions all under control. Things are just different and not easy like they have been. I shouldn't have been to rude to you. " She drifted, and I smiled in my mind when she called me 'San'.

"Well, trust me Quinn, no hard feelings." I smiled at her, locking eyes with her for a brief moment. "Can I ask you something, Quinn?" I asked and she nodded with assurance.

"How did you exactly meet Finn?"

She frowned a little bit. "I knew that question was coming, so I have always been a werewolf. It was me, my mom and dad, my older sisters Franny and Veronica. Finn was dating Veronica, they were a pretty serious thing actually. "

She got up from beside me and started walking around.

" Well, one day we were all, including Finn out hunting. Hunting for anything to eat, there was a point where we could rarely find anything to eat. Well, we came across a group of vampires-" She sniffles, breaking my heart a little. "Those vampires were awful, just awful Santana. We didn't do anything to them! We were simply hunting, and me and Finn were the only ones that made it out alive."

She paused, and I didn't know what to say, then she continued,

" After that moment Finn became like my only family. At first he made me feel safe and protected, but then he quit letting me have any fun and I was a kid and I'm still young. He loved my sister Veronica so much. I know he was just trying to keep me safe, but now I'm getting sick of it" She sighed and sat back down.

"Finn and I have never gotten along actually, but when I was last here, you weren't in his pack yet. When did this tragedy happen?"

"About fifteen years ago, I'm still the newest one in his pack. He rarely keeps me out of his sight. I'm surprised I could sneak out to meet you. " she glances up at me.

"I'm sorry to hear about all of this Quinn" I was never really good with sympathy, which really sucked at this moment. I really wanted to just comfort her.

"It's fine. I'm fine." She wiped her nose. "They are all buried here though, that's why I like it here, follow me"

I followed her as she took me to the back, behind the church. The memorials were newer back there. I watched her walk, the way her hips swayed. I watched her eyes wander. She was beautiful. We come up on a couple headstones, she just stared at them.

"Here they are, my family" I smiled a little, but I could see the hurt in her eyes.

" I'm meeting your family, and we haven't even been out on a date yet " I joked and we both chuckled.

"You're really great Santana" I heard her whisper, and in that moment I could feel our bond growing stronger.

...

The next day Alec came into town. He had been staying in South Carolina with his girlfriend, but they had recently broken up, so he was glad to come back to New Orleans. He was crashing in my apartment until he had his own place, which I was perfectly fine with.

I hadn't talked to Quinn since we were together at the church yesterday and I kept wondering what she was up to.

Alec, Puck and I went to the gym and had a quick workout then it was time to feed. Down on the Main Street of New Orleans there was a band. Perfect. A singer, a drummer and a guitar player. Three for three. No one was really around, that would care anyway, or no one we couldn't compel into not seeing anything.

Puck grabs the drummer, pinning him against a brick building, immediately digging his fangs into his neck. This action sent the singer and the guitar player running. Alec grabs the frightened guitar player by surprise and forcefully connects his fangs into the guitar players neck and then that leaves the singer for me. I grab him and force the blood from his neck into my mouth. As the blood hits my taste buds, something catches my attention from the corner of my eye. A blonde watching from a distance. Quinn.

I throw the singer's body on the ground and I walk over to Quinn, leaving Puck and Alec.

"Do vampires always do that to innocent people?" Quinn asks, while folding her arms across her chest, stepping away slightly and continues, "I don't even know why I'm doing this, I mean it obviously means nothing to you that I told you about my family. Vampires will be vampires" She shrugged and turned like she was going to walk away.

"Quinn wait-" I say and I grab her arm and she turns to face me again, "We need to feed, and sometimes we cannot control our cravings."

"Yes, and this is exactly why I shouldn't have expected more from you" Quinn says as our faces get further away from each other.

"Quinn, stop. We just need to feed, just like werewolves need to hunt for food. You telling me about your parents and family meant so much to me. You started to open up, and that is something I do not do very often. I admire that about you. "

I catch Quinn's eyes and her lips start to form a smile. We just stare into each other's eyes for a few moments until a loud voice interrupts from inside the store nearby.

"Quinn? Where'd Quinn go?" I hear Finn ask, as his voice gets closer to us two. If he found us together he would trap Quinn away, and I would never see her again.

I let go of Quinn's arm and I grab both of her hands, "Listen Quinn, meet me tonight at the pier by the lake around nine. I want to talk"

She nods and lets go of my hands, running to meet Finn inside. I watched her leave and I remember the feelings of her hands. I smile and go to catch up with Alec and Puck.

...

I get to the pier a little bit early, and there has been no sign of Quinn yet. I was a little bit worried that she would stand me up, but I wasn't too worried, yet. I go down to the pier leaning against the railing looking up at the soon to be dark sky. I could not wait to talk to Quinn, I wanted to know everything about her.

I glance down at my phone for the time. 8:58. My phone read and I sighed. I couldn't see any nearing people in the distance and the city was going to quiet down soon. I look out at the lake and I watch as the water ripples when the wind blew a little bit. I pull my jacket together some more as the sun went completely away and the air seemed to cool off.

I glance at my phone again, 9:02, it read. Ugh, I'm being stood up. I decide to not let my nerves get the best of me and I wait it out a little longer. I fiddle with my fingers, waiting for Quinn to make an appearance. Please come, I kept thinking.

A couple more minutes went by, and I finally heard footsteps approaching the pier. It was dark, so I could only make out a body figure approaching me.

Finally it spoke, "Sorry I'm late, Finn kept asking questions, again him being controlling and all."

My nerves finally relax in my body and a worry free smile appears on my face. The werewolf has her hair down, wavy, falling to about the middle of her back, to finish her hair look, she had a loose beanie hat on the crown of her head. She was wearing black leggings, black converse shoes, and a red sweatshirt. She was stunning , just in her casual apparel.

I checked my phone and the time read, 9:12. "It's fine, I actually just got here not too long ago" We smiled at each other.

"It's a little chilly out tonight" She says and leans against the railing, looking over it to the lake. I looked at the profile of her face. I liked the way she could just spark a conversation. She came off shy when I first saw her, but she is anything but shy.

"Yeah, it was pretty nice earlier, now it's cooled off. Sorry about earlier by the way" I look out at the view, standing beside her.

"You don't have to apologize. I understand what you vampires have to do" she chuckles , " I feel like every time we talk one of us is apologizing to the other" She smiles up at me. We were about the same height, me being just a little bit taller.

" Yeah, I've noticed that too" I smiled and looked out at the lake, I could feel her watching me, "I use to come here all the time, years ago. I use to sit for hours and just look out at the lake"

"It is really nice, I've been here a couple times, mainly just in passing though" Quinn says.

"Come, follow me. I want to show you something" I say, and her face brightens up as she follows behind me, like it was an adventure.

We walk off the pier, and into the surrounding grasses. There is a faint path that we walk through that takes us into the woods, but it is still on the outskirts of the lake. Making our way through the woods we dodge trees, sticker bushes, and holes. Quinn almost fell once but caught herself and recovered with a laugh. Finally we make up to the ladder.

"Woah, is that yours?" Quinn asked while looking up to the top of the ladder to find a little tree hut. I nod.

"Yes, my I sister and I use to come here all the time years ago" I grab ahold of the ladder and begin climbing up, again Quinn following me. We reach the top of the ladder and enter the old tree hut. It was a comforting feeling though.

"You know, if Finn knew I was here and with you, you vampire, he would trap me away forever"

"Don't worry, this can be our little secret. Our new place" I smiled and looked out the tree hut window at the view of the lake.

"What about your sister though?" Quinn asked.

"I haven't actually spoken to my sister in forever. We aren't exactly on good terms" I confess. It felt easy to tell her these things.

"Tell me something Santana, tell me about your family, you know about mine" she whispered softly and sat down, leaning her back against the side of the tree hut. I sit down beside her.

'Well, " I let out a sigh "As Finn as probably told you my family and I were the original vampires. "

She nodded, "Finn did tell me that, but tell me like what happened with your siblings"

I then continued, "Well, you know Puck, when he was turned, his parents soon died because of, well, werewolves. My family took him in to train him when we found him sneaking around with my youngest sister Maria, my older brother Alec and I put an end to that, and when Maria was old enough to get away from us, she did just that. My oldest brother Joseph died years ago, me and my brother Alec are probably the closest, and well you already know Hayden" I give Quinn and wink and smirk and she just laughs.

"Ahhh, Hayden" she hides her face in her hands and shyly smiles at me.

I laugh, "It's okay, I'm surprised we just never actually met back then. I mean I did try my best to avoid werewolves, but you were dating my brother"

"Again, only for like a month San, besides Hayden and I being together didn't cause any harm, like if we would"

Was she implying that we could be together? Probably not, I'm seeing too much into it. She was just talking about Hayden and probably didn't think too much about it.

After the small silence she spoke up again, "So, tell me something else. Do you have any crazy ex's?" She giggled and glances up at me waiting for a response.

"Well, I do have this one ex- girlfriend, her name was Brittany, she was absolutely insane. Nice girl, don't get me wrong, but not for me and once I broke things off with her she stalked my every move for about a year after. I guess she gave up though after that year."

Quinn smiled and raised her eyebrows, "Wow, I don't have any crazy ex's. I guess that's a good thing though" I smiled and nodded.

She pulled out her phone, checking the time. 11:47. It read. "I should probably be heading back San, so Finn doesn't throw a fit and send out a search party. I had fun tonight, thank you for bring me to 'our new place'" She laughed and stood up from her spot.

I followed and stood up after her, "No problem, I had a great time learning some new things about each other. Like how damn cute you are in the beanie" I laughed and pulled the beanie hat right off of Quinn's head, leaving her hair a little messy underneath. "Hey!" Quinn yells, trying to grab for it back. "Nope" I mumbled and started running down the ladder from the tree hut with Quinn following me.

"Give me back my hat!" She yells chasing after me in the dark woods on our way back to the pier. "Catch me" I yell back at her. "Fine, but this might change your mind" I stop running and I look back at Quinn. Her eyes dilating into a darker color, and changing form, her teeth start to form rough edges and sharpen up and her skin turning darker. She was turning right now. Quinn's wolf form comes running after me and I immediately start sprinting, though I could hear her getting closer. Finally, she jumps grabs my hat, avoids attacking me but lands on the ground. She looks up at me, still in her half wolf form. I've never seen her this way.

After a moment she slowly transitions back to looking human, normal, although still on the ground, I kneel down beside her. "I told you to just give me my hat back" she says with a smirk.

"Maybe I wanted to see you in your wolf form" I suggest, her not believing it. I help her up off the ground, her looking back to perfection. With our faces inches apart, I close the gap between us and connect our lips. At first Quinn didn't react, then after a couple seconds I felt her plump lips kissing back. Nothing ever felt more certain in my life. Our first kiss.
