A/N- I'm so so so so sorry! I started this last Thursday, but then I had a dance show on Friday and Saturday, and Sunday was Father's Day. And now this week I have a dance camp and when I get home, I just want to sleep. I know those really aren't good excuses, but anyways... here's the chapter. This is the last one in flashback, I think.
Chapter 6
August 18th, 2008
The Fabray Barn
Lima, Ohio
"Ok, I have the perfect idea for tonight!" Brittany exclaimed excitedly.
"It's not blinding someone again, is it?" Santana asked with a bored tone of voice.
"Santana, did you forget that we aren't supposed to talk about that? And no, it only involves us now," Brittany continued. She waited a few seconds to add suspense. "I learned how to hypnotize people."
"Is that safe, Britt?" Tina asked. "Where did you learn to do it?"
"My brother taught me how," Britt said proudly. "It's perfectly safe, and it actually works. We can do it when it gets darker."
Around 10 or so, the girls turned off the TV and gathered in a circle. It was quiet outside except for the crickets chirping because the men doing construction in Britt's yard had left. Because Britt's family had decided to build a gazebo to host parties in, workers were there all day, digging a huge hole.
"Britt, you can hypnotize us now," Mercedes said.
"Ok," Brittany said. She got up, closed all the blinds and turned off the lights. "Close your eyes, and listen as I count down from 100." Her smooth voice started to count, and the girls could feel themselves relaxing. "Ok, now I'm going to go to each of you and tell you what you need to do." Britt went to Quinn first. She placed her hands on her shoulders and whispered in her ear. Suddenly, Quinn jumped up.
"Britt, stop!"
"Quinn, what are you doing? You're ruining the mood!" Slowly, the other girls started to wake up, and looked at each other. Brittany and Quinn argued like this a lot, mostly about small, unimportant things. As the yelling continued, the girls were startled to see Quinn push Brittany out the door.
"Just leave Brittany! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!" Quinn shouted. Brittany stormed out the door and let it slam.
Around one in the morning, Santana rolled over and sat up. "Hey guys? I just had the weirdest dream. Brittany was lying in –"
"A well? Covered in leaves?" Tina finished. "With – "
"Her hands crossed like she was dead," Mercedes finished. "Did we all have the same dream?"
"Oh my god, where's Quinn and Britt?" Tina jumped up. Suddenly the door swung open. Quinn stood in the doorway, looking flustered. "Quinn! Have you seen Brittany?"
"No, I was hoping she was in here," Quinn looked around frantically. "I haven't seen her in a while either. We both went outside and started to argue some more. Then she just disappeared. I assumed she went back to her house next door but… I don't know. I heard a loud crash and got worried."
Santana looked around. "Well, I bet she's just with some of her soccer friends. You know, the ones in high school." She said the last part a little bitter.
But the morning came, and Brittany still wasn't back. Mrs. Pierce had asked if they had seen her, and they said no. She had called her soccer friends, other girls at school, her brother, and finally, the police.
And now, four years later, Brittany still hasn't come back.
Ooooo! What happens next? To tell you the truth, I still don't know what happened to Ali (the actual girl from the books). I haven't finished reading them yet!
Thank you to Jackie, beverlie4055, and pinkcrazyness for reviewing.
Once again, thank you to everyone who had favorited this and put it on story alert. If it wasn't for everyone's support, I wouldn't update at all. Once again, I don't know when I can update next. My dad kinda took away my computer and won't let me use it at night anymore so... I'll do my best!
Review!
