Revelation
The next morning, the glee club want rehearsing, they were researching again. They couldn't focus on anything until they knew their friends were safe. They were in the library when Mr Schu walked in, concerned look on his face. 'What is it Mr Schu? Finn asked.
'Gather round guys, I think I found what all of this is about.' They all sat around the large table in the middle of the library and Mr Schu began; 'So, I found this text, it's got the earliest publish date of any of my books and it talks about a final coming, the end of good if you prefer. I had lots of books shipped here when I found out I would be a whitelighter in a school. We could hide the books here and no one would be suspicious.'
'What does it say?' Sam asked, and Mr Schu quoted directly from the book;
'And like a plague of boils, the race of man covered the earth. But on the third day of the newest light will come the harvest, when the blood of men will flow as wine, when the master will walk among them once more, the world will belong to the old ones, and hell itself will come to town.'
'Well that's cryptic.' Mike stated.
'What does it mean Mr Schu, third day of the newest light?' Quinn asked,
'I'm not sure. I think it has something to do with the solstice, its in about nine? Yeah nine days time.' He worked out.
'So three days after the solstice and what? Hell comes to town?'
'That's what it looks like.'
'But why is this demon sending others to kill us now if hell is coming in just over a week?' Brittany questioned. 'Maybe she wants to kill us first, get us out of the way?' Santana thought.
'Maybe, or she just wants you weak enough that you cant do anything to stop it.' Mr Schu pondered.
They all looked at each other in silence for a moment, when the doors to the library burst open. 'Holy shit! What are those things!' Finn shouted, as three white faced, red eyes creatures walked into the room.
'Grimlocks!' Quinn shouted.
'Everybody out, go out the back!' Santana shouted, and they all ran, 'Meet in the choir room!' She called, as she, Quinn and Brittany, along with Mr Schu, stood to face the Grimlocks. 'How did we dot his last time Q?' She whispered.
'Potion.' Quinn swallowed.
'Right, don't suppose you have any on you?'
'Nope, sorry.' Quinn replied, the Grimlocks were getting closer.
'Okay so power of three spell,' Santana said, gripping the other girls hands. Then Brittany collapsed to her knees, she couldn't breathe. 'Brit! Brit come on get up.' She hauled her to her feet, and Quinn froze the Grimlocks in the hope of helping her. It worked, their hold was broken and Brittany was left gasping, but at least she could breathe now. 'You're okay,' Quinn said, holding her up.
'Come on guys. The power of three will set us free, the power of three will set us freeā¦.' Then the other joined in. 'The power of three will set us free, the power of three will set us free,' And then with a scream, the Grimlocks evaporated. 'Shit, you okay Brit?' Santana asked, and Brittany nodded. Quinn unfroze Mr Schu and then they went to the choir room.
'Oh thank god!' Kurt said as they came through the door. 'Are you guys alright?'
'Fine, thanks.' Brittany smiled.
'What were those things?' Sam asked.
'Grimlocks.' Quinn told them, 'A faction of underground demons. They feed off of people's auras, good people.'
Santana was looking down. 'What is it?' Rachel asked.
'They, they killed someone I cared about, that's all. I don't want to talk about it.' She sat down next to Rachel who put her hand on her knee. 'So what now?' She asked.
'Well I actually had a theory, if you guys are interested?'
'Of course Puck, what do you have for us?' Mr Schu said, sitting down with the rest of the glee kids as Puck went to the front of the room. 'Well, I was looking on the computer in the library and I read about this, this demon. His name was Abax or something like that.'
'Do you mean Abraxas?' Quinn asked, standing up.
'Yeah that's the dude. But anyways, it said that he has the power to reverse time. Maybe it's him and he's reversing all of the spells you guys have done?'
'It's a good theory, but the demon of illusion said 'she' is bringing them back, not 'he''
'Maybe she has recruited Abrax-whatever, to help her?'
'Maybe Puck, good work by the way.' Santana complimented. 'But, we have exactly nine days until hell comes to town, or whatever, so how do we stop it?' Everyone remained silent.
