AN: okay-I've struck inspiration so it's time to kick this story in the rear and move it on- I've been stuck for the last couple of days. I had a basic plot line and even a few scenes already written down but I've now got another sub-plot linked to the main one that will try and liven this up (I hope :/ )
AN2: this is just a short chapter, still filler sort of stuff, but I now have an actual plan for the next few chapters so hopefully it will get better… yeah I'm not happy with this fic at the moment

First Vision
"Hey have any of you seen Talwyn?" Rachel asked the rest of the girls and Sam as she approached their table in the cafeteria.
They all shook their heads, Rachel sighed; Quinn pulled her down to sit next to her "Relax Rach, she's a typical moody teenager who's pissed off with a parent"
"Thanks for reminding me" Rachel folded her arms and rest her head on them on the table
"Just give her some space Rae" Santana tried to comfort her friend
…
"Hey kiddo, what ya doing out here?" Puck walked up the steps of the bleachers. Talwyn sat with her knees bought up to her chest, with her arms wrapped round and her head resting on the top.
"Hey Uncle Noah"
"Err, not out here remember"
"Sorry; Puck. That means you can't be calling me kiddo either"
"Sorry; T. So why are you not with the rest of us?"
"Moth-Rachel" even if no one else was round it was best to keep up with using first names; just in case
"Oh she got a soccer try out. What's so wrong with that?" he sat down next to her
"I wanted it to be my thing; she's going to be better than me because she's actually played before, I don't even know the rules, I just wanted to try something different. Let's face it, coach will compare us and that means she'll get a place on the team and I won't"
"She wouldn't do that to you, she cares about you and she wants you to be happy" he put his hand comfortingly on her shoulder
"… I know… it was really cool the way she stopped the slushy attack" she peered at him and gave a weak smile
"Yeah" he chuckled "definitely one of her best, come on" he stood and pulled her up "I'll tell you about some of her more spectacular stopping of slushy attacks"
"Okay" she picked up her bag and slung it over her shoulder "Thank you"
"For what?" he asked turning back to her
"Even though you didn't say it, you reminded me that there're bigger things than soccer out there right now, and we need to be vigilant… and I need something to bond with Rachel over"
He smiled at her then walked back and hugged her, then pulled away again "in the words of your mother; let's go"
He then led her back to the cafeteria and to their table; the rest of them had just finished talking about what could do for their glee club audition.
"So anyway I'm talking to Ava, Mia and Emily after lunch, I want on Monday morning for us to strut our way down that corridor making every head turn. Me and Britt are in; anyone else?"
"I'm in" Quinn announced "I can go with you to talk to them next as well"
"I'd like to be one too" Tina spoke up shyly
"Really?" Puck asked in a low tone
"Yeah, why"
"Nothing just imagining you in a Cheerios uniform" he quickly glanced at her up and down. This just got him a god old slap to the back of the head from his wife "Ow, hey, aren't I allowed to have these thoughts about my w-girlfriend"
"Thoughts: yes, voicing them: no" she smiled at him and he leaned in to kiss her
Santana interrupted "Yeah Tina, you should join us, What about you, Mercedes?"
"Nah, I was one before, and even though I'm more physically capable now, it's just not my scene"
"Okay, what about you; Rach? If they make me captain be my second in command again?" she said confidently
"No thanks I think Britt's got that covered and don't get too ahead of yourself San, however I will think about joining the squad, maybe next week, I want to see how some other things play out first" She glanced at Talwyn who was looking down at her food, possibly just to avoid Rachel's gaze or she just wasn't paying attention. Rachel let out the lightest of sighs.
The rest of lunch went smoothly despite any mother daughter tension.
….
"Hey girls, we want to talk to you" Santana and the other 3 soon to be cheerleaders approached Emily Ava and Mia in the locker rooms
"Sure, what about?" Ava asked looking up at her from the bench she was sat on
"It's about the cheer squad, we think you're good but there's more that could be done. You need a name and uniforms, and we want to join the squad too" she gestured to Quinn, Brittany and Tina behind her.
"Well the name and you guys on the squad can be sorted easy, but we can't afford uniforms, we have no money for the club at all. We don't even have a coach so we're not even recognised as a real team" Mia explained
"Yeah but if we had a coach, then we'd be given minimal funds that would pay for travel to competitions, but like Mia said we aren't recognised as a real club so we don't get anything" Emily added
Santana paused in thought "I think I can get us a coach, and uniforms are sorted"
"Uniforms? Just like that? How comes you care so much?"
"My family were from this area, and they were on the cheer squad, I really want to return it to it's former glory"
"Oh yeah I heard they were 6 times consecutive national champions, before the school burned down, the coach was Sue Syvlester or something" Mia started
"Sylvester" Quinn jumped in to correct
"Oh yeah, she went missing around the time the old building burnt down"
It was sad for them, when they thought about the fact no one knew the truth. The entire supernatural group had, had moment where they felt uncomfortable, remembering the battle. Brittany and Santana were yet to step in the choir room, the old one (which looked exactly the same) was scariest moment for them in the fight, the moment they were closest to the end.
None of them had been in the auditorium yet, they knew they would probably do their audition performance in there, and they weren't looking forward to the rush of memories they would all experience (minus Mercedes and Talwyn)
They also realised they were lucky that the school no longer had old copies of the year books with photos of them in it, because the books were destroyed with the library and the rest of the school in the fire.
The group spent the rest of their free period organising a schedule over the weekend so that Santana would have the group owning the school by the end of the next week.
….
It was now later; that evening
"Hey"
Rachel looked back over her shoulder to see Santana stepping out onto the patio, sliding the door closed behind her, Rachel smiled "Hey"
"Thought I'd find you out here; full moon, lima. We always had our talks here. So what is it this time, visions?"
"No, just wanted to sit out… no visions… just feelings"
Santana dropped herself down next to her friend "Feelings?"
"Just the usual; worry, trouble. But I think that's just being back here"
"Of course you're going to have those feelings, I'm having them too"
"I know, it's also the fact that we're still not sure of what we're up against"
"I'm sure we'll know soon enough"
They sat in silence for a few minutes before Santana stirred
"I'm being called" she tapped the side of her head "Britt want's me-" she started to stand up
"Yeah okay, don't want to know anymore"
"K, night" she left Rachel to herself in the silence, staring up at the moon
"Don't panic" Quinn's voice in Rachel's head startled her
"You just scared the crap out of me, what's wrong?"
"Tal just had her first vision, but it sounds horrific, so I'm assuring her it was a dream"
"Okay, I'm coming up now, just locking the back door now, would you like some water or anything"
"No thank you but Talwyn might"
"Okay, just getting her a glass" a few seconds later she slowly opened the door to the bedroom. Quinn was holding Talwyn as they sat in the middle of the double bed, Quinn waved Rachel over.
Rachel offered the glass to her daughter who took it thankfully "I'm sorry, it just really shook me up"
"What did you see?" Rachel asked cautiously rubbing Talwyn's back
"It was dark, I think in the woods or somewhere and you two were there, there were some dead bodies, their cold dead eyes were staring at me; I knew you hadn't killed them, then, we were attacked and both of you were hurt and I was scared because I couldn't act, I was frozen, . Then the dream jumped and… nothing"
"What?"
"N-nothing" she had rapidly calmed and was now blushing, she got up settling the glass on the bedside table
"go on" Quinn playfully whined
"It was about…err um, Alex" Talwyn sat on the edge of her own bed
"Oh yeah?"
"We were just talking in the choir room… It wasn't a dream was it" her tone changed
"I'm afraid I don't think so, sorry Tal"
"It's okay"
"Do you remember anything else from your… vision?"
"I'm not sure, maybe 3 figures, I couldn't see their faces, I think they were a family, I'm not entirely sure"
"That's brilliant T; you're giving us information that can help… are you okay?"
"I'll be fine thanks, goodnight" she got under her covers and turned to face the wall, the other two in the room followed suit and the house was at rest again.
….
On the edge of town in a wooded area, 3 figures dressed in black stood over their victim as its life faded away. The 3 moved round the body together; a tall woman with long blonde hair, a man of similar height with dark but greying hair and boy in his late teens with curly brown hair. They moved to a specific spot; muttering strange words and joining hands.
The earth in front of them started to shake and shift and crumble…
Okay, disappointing I know but; the last little bit is the very tiny start of a sub-plot I came up with. I hope I can start making this better now, a bit more drama and action is needed I think
