"Yeah well, she runs things pretty good, beside she and her partners been there to help us make it here." Brittany said. "That's good to know, unlike Jeff there, he's trying to run the things in this group acting like a leader and shit." Sugar commented looking Jeff who is with Alana.
"Yeah right, leader my ass. I'm so glad that Santana beats the shit out of him." Cassandra said. "Agreed." Ricardo joined in. They all laughed. "Hey come on guys. He's not that bad." Broody said. "Sorry son, but they are right about him. He was about to knock me down earlier." Derek commented.
"Hey sweetie, how old are you?" Holly asked turning to Rachel changing the subject.
"Hi. I'm seven," Rachel answered.
"Is Santana your mom? If she is that mean Alana is your other mother?" Holly asked. "No. Tana's not my mom." Rachel answered.
"Oh sorry honey..." Holly said genuinely. "It's okay."
"It's just you look familiar." She muttered. "Where is your parents?" She asked again. Cassandra nudged her. "What?" She said to her sister. "I don't know. She was on a trip to New York or something since then I never seen them anymore." Rachel replied sadly.
"Oh my god, I'm sorry sweetie. I didn't mean to –" Holly said. "It's okay. You didn't know." Rachel replied. "And yes my mom is a famous Broadway star, me want to be just like here when I grow up." Rachel said in pride.
"Oh yea? That's great Rachel." Holly encouraged. "Oh so that's why you seems familiar. My sister here loves Broadway and couldn't stop to watch those shows." She shrugged when the others smiled in sympathy at the little girl.
"Shut up sis." Cassandra said rolling her eyes playfully causing the others laughing at her.
"So where you guys come from?" Santana asked when they sat across the campfire in the night. On the other side, there are Jeff, Alana, Ryder, Sebastian, Blaine, Broody and the others.
"Most of us just from the city..." Holly answered as the others nodded their heads. "I'm from Dayton... was visiting my aunt when the worlds gone crazy." Josh said. "I know those two kids, looking from their blazers that's Dalton Academy's how they ended up with you guys anyway?" He asked.
"We found them when we was hunting, they were trapped with the teacher or something, they been with us since there." Puck answered. "That's good of you then." He said smiling at them.
"Yeah, and thanks to you guys we made it out the city." Broody said. "Don't mention it..." Santana muttered shrugging. She was sitting with Rachel in her arms. Alana keep looking at her all night. The others noticed it but stayed quiet while Jeff keep staring at the fire.
"Santana can I please talk to you?" Alana asked. Santana glaced at her with a raised eyebrow but nodded her head. Jeff just looked at them. "Rach, you stay here alright, I'll be right back." She told Rachel softly. "Okay, be careful." Rachel said and went to sit with Quinn and Brittany.
Santana walked with Alana far enough so the group won't hear.
"I thought you were dead..." Alana said. Santana just stared at her, "Look Santana, I can't ask for your forgiveness after what I did. I – I just want to say that I really am sorry..." She said. Santana chuckled humourlessly. "You're right. You can't ask for my forgiveness. So what do you want Alana?" She asked coldly.
"I just want you to know that I – I don't know San, I just feel so awful after everything and then you're here. I just want to know what are we?"
"That's it? That's all you want to say? Are you fucking kidding me?!" Santana said raising her tones, the others were near them turned to look at them but quickly looked away when the latina glanced at them.
"First of all, we're done, we're over. So just – just stay away from me alright? And secondly, you're damn right that you must be feel super awful after what you did to me. This world is fucked up Alana, just – just don't push me alright? There's enough bad things happened don't add another one in my list. And tell your boyfriend there to stay away from me or I will kill him do you hear me? I will end him and I don't even care about it." Santana said and walked away leaving Alana in tears. "Santana wait!" She called grabbing her hand. Santana pushed her arm free. "Don't touch me." She said quiet yet dangerously. "I already told you just stay away from me, I can't even look at you right now. Just – just don't." Santana said and walked back to the campfire.
"Are you okay?" Rachel asked as she saw Santana making her way back. Santana smiled at her, "I'm okay Rach. Come on it's getting late, let's get you to bed." She said giving Rachel a hand. Rachel pouted, "But Tana... I still want to see the fire." Rachel whined. "Oh come on baby girl. It's getting late munchkin. How about I'm going to sing you some song in the tent. I know you love to sing." Santana said grinning at the little girl.
Rachel put her hand on her mouth in dramatic way. The others laughed at the little girl's gesture shaking their heads. "Yes! I love it when you sing. Come on Tana." Rachel said grabbing Santana's hand and dragging her to the tent eagerly. Santana chuckled and let herself being dragged by her.
Quinn smiled looking at them, she really fond of them so far because they've been together for months. And she grew to love the group like her own family.
Alana watched them go to then tent, "Who is that little girl?" She asked Ryder, "Oh that's Rachel..." He replied. Alana rolled her eyes, "I know her name is Rachel. I mean who is she to Santana? Because I don't know her." She said. "Oh, she just been with Santana and her friends since all this started, and they even came to Lima together. Santana told us that she found Rachel in her house by herself so she took her since then." Ryder explained. Alana nodded, "Oh..." was all she said.
Brittany and Quinn shared the tent with Santana and Rachel. They found Santana sing a song to Rachel while the girl laying on Santana's lap trying to sleep. They smiled looking at the latina's sweet gesture to the girl.
"Hey..." Brittany said smiling at her. Santana smiled back at the two blondes. "Are you okay?" Quinn asked. "Why wouldn't I be okay?" Santana said. Quinn rolled her eyes, "Yeah, right." She muttered. Santana chuckled, "Yeah I'm fine Q. I'm touched that you actually care about my feeling." Santana joked placing her hand on her chest.
Quinn rolled her eyes once more, "Oh I'm not Lopez, was just asking.." She said shrugging. "Right..." Santana muttered. "She's sleeping." Santana said to the two blondes.
They both nodded, "You really do care about her huh?" Quinn asked. "Of course I do, Q. Don't tell me you don't 'cause I know you do." Santana replied. Quinn sighed, "Yeah..." She muttered and went to lay next to Rachel. Quinn placed a kiss on her forehead, "Good night you two..." She said to the other women and close her eyes.
"Night..." Santana and Brittany muttered.
"So your wife huh?" Brittany asked sitting next to the latina. Santana shrugged, "Ex wife." She said. Brittany laughed but close her mouth with her hands realizing that Quinn and Rachel had fall asleep, "What's so funny?" Santana asked with a raised eyebrow, "Oh nothing. We're in the middle of the apocalypse Santana, I don't think you could find a lawyer to place the divorce." Brittany said still holding her laughter.
Santana chuckled, "Touche," she muttered. "Yeah well she knew, that we're done, that's it. Beside she got that bastard with her." Santana said sighed. Brittany placed her hand on the latina's shoulder smiling at her when Santana looked at her. "You're gonna be okay, right?" Brittany asked softly. Santana squeezed Brittany's hand, "Yeah, I will Britt. I got Rachel here with me and you." Santana said. "Also I got the group they're my family now. Thank you." She added. Brittany smile and kissed her on the cheek. "Anytime... Good night Santana." Brittany said and laying on the sleeping bag.
Santana touched her cheek smiling when Brittany turned around so she wouldn't see her. "Good night Brittany," She said and lay on the sleeping bag wrapping Rachel in her arms gives her a kiss on the cheek and fell asleep.
The next morning, Puck, Derek, Broody, Ricardo and Sam were scraping the red Mustang for Parts. "Look at them vultures, fine go super clean it." Ryder said while Sugar was right beside him. "I know right, look at those murderers." Sugar joined in. "Sorry guys, the R.V's going to need these parts." Derek said. "Yeah and I might be able to do something with the extra stuff here." Puck said.
They sudden'y heard a couple girls scream. "That was Rachel!" Santana said. Santana, Puck, Quinn, Broody, Ryder, Derek, Jeff and a few others run to the direction of screaming. They see the kids running away from something. Rachel goes to hug Santana once she saw her. "What's wrong?" Santana asked. Rachel points at the direction. They headed there and see a walker eating a deer with a few arrows on it. Puck, Sam, Ryder, Broody, Ricardo and Derek were beating the walker down, then Santana chops its head off with an axe. "That's our first one here." Derek said. "They're probably moving out of the city." Broody said.
They suddenly hear ruffles in the bushes they were ready with their weapons, suddenly Leroy coes out of the woods. "Son of a bitch, that was my deer. Look at tit all gnawed on by this Filthy, disease ridden, motherless, proxy bastard." Leroy said while kicking the walker.
"Give it a rest it's not helping." Derek said. "What you know about it old man, you take that stupid mullet and go back to your trailer." Leroy said to him. "I've been tracking this deer for miles drag it back to the camp cook us some Venison, you think we can chop off the bitten part over here?" Lerouy said pulling out the arrows out of the deer.
"We can't risk that." Jeff said.
"It's a damn shame, I got a dozen squirrels so it'll have to do." Leroy said. The walker's head suddenly starts moving. "Oh god..." Holly said and ran back to the camp.
"Come on people what the hell?" Leroy said shooting the walkers head with an arow. "Aim for the brain you guys know nothing." He said. "We know a lot." Puck said and they walk back to the camp.
"Hiram, Hiram get your ass out here I got us some squirrel here where you at!" Leroy was yelling. "Leroy we need to talk to you." Jeff said. "About what?" He asked. "Hiram, something happened in Columbus." Jeff answered. "Is he dead?" Leroy asked. "We're not sure." Santana answered. "Is he or is he ain't?" He asked once more. "It's not easy to say this so I'll just say it." Santana answered. "Who the hell are you?" Leroy asked looking at her. "Santana Lopez this is Puck." Santana answered.
"Santana Lopez... Puck you got something you want to tell me?" Leroy asked furiously. "Your brother was a danger to us all, drew a gun at the other's face, so we handcuffed him onto the roof on a piece of metal, he's still there." Santana explained. Leroy was wiping a little bit of tears off his face. "So let me get this straight so you two handcuffed my bestfriend to a roof and you just lef him there!" Leroy yelled. "Yeah." Puck said.
"The guy had it coming he was being an asshole." Sam said, Leroy just looked at Sam and he threw the squirrels at him and ran towards him. Puck pushes Leroy to the ground and Santana helped him with it. Leroy then drew out his knife and started swinging at Puck and Santana, Puck dodged it and grabbed Leroy's arm and kneed him in the gut while Sam grabs him by the neck. "You best let me go!" Leroy yelled. "Choke holding is illegal." He continued.
"Calm down." Sam said. "Now I would like a calm discussion on this topic, you think we can manage that?" Santana asked. Leroy was breathing heavily and Sam lets go of him. "What we did was not on a wim, your bestfriend doesn't work really well with others." Santana explained.
"It's not their fault I had the key I dropped it." Broody said. Leroy was tearing up and shook it off trying to got back up. "If it's suppose to make me feel better it ain't." Leroy said. "Maybe this will I chained the door shut that leads to the roof with a padlock so the geeks won't get to him." Broody said. "It's gotta count for something." santana said. "Hell with all y'all just tell me where he is so I can go get him." Leroy said. "I'm going back." Santana said receiving few looks fro Rachel and Brittany. "Me too." Puck added also receiving few looks from the group. Leroy just walks off. "Yeah me too." Broody said, "My day just getting better and better." Leroy retorted shaking his head looking at Broody.
"Santana are you serious about going back for Hiram?" Quinn asked as she approaching Santana while She and Puck were gearing up everything getting ready for the trip back to Columbus.
"Leaving a person handcuffed dying of thirst or starving is no way for a human being to go." Santana said. "Are you kidding me? You gonna leave us and Rachel just for that asshole there?" Quinn asked, "Hey!" Leroy yelled giving her a glare. Quinn glared at him back. "You know it's true, that's not worth it Lopez." Quinn continued. Santana sighed. "Beside it's not just about Hiram, we dropped our supplies in the Van remember, the guns, foods?" Santana answered.
"We went through hell to get here, San. To hell with the guns and the supplies." It was Brittany who said that. "This isn't just about it Brittany, it's about that guy we left there on the roof." Santana answered, they all stayed in silent, processing the things and Santana turned around, "Where's Rachel?" She asked. The girls pointing the tent, "Well she's not happy that you're going to leave her." Brittany answered. Santana sighed and went to see Rachel.
Santana walked towards Rachel, she look sad that Santana was going. "Don't worry sweetheart, I'll be bakc before you know it okay?" Santana asked as she approached her. "We just got here San, do you really have to go?" Rachel asked quietly. Santana nodded and kissed her on the forehead. "Yes honey, I bring the others with me so we gonna be okay, beside I always come back when I leave right?" She told her gently. "Yes." Rachel murmured. "See? Ever since I met you I'll always be lucky so don't worry I'll be back before you know it." Santana said pinching Rachel's nose making the girl giggle. "Okay Tana." Rachel finally said and give her a hug, Santana wrapped the little gilr in her arms tight.
She then walks outside to Puck and Ryder, "Are you guys ready?" Santana asked. "Yeah.." Puck answered. "I guess." Ryder murmured. Santana then made her way to Sugar, "So you know our way there.." She started, Sugar looked at her wide eyes. "What? I – I'm not going back there." She quickly said. "Oh come on Sugar, you're the expert of the directions out there." Santana said. "Oh come on..." Sugar tried but receiving few looks from the others. She sighed, "Fine.." She grunted Santana grinned at her.
"Okay bring a few backpacks for the supplies and let's head out." Santana called. Broody, Leroy and Josh join up to and they ride off into the truck.
They stop by on some train tracks just away from the city, there was a broken freighter with a cart attached to it. They all run into the entrance of the city.
Back at the Camp
"Derek have you seen Rachel?" Quinn asked. "She went with Jesse down to the Quarry, something about catching frogs." Derek said.
Down at the quarry, Rachel was with Jesse by the water. "I'm not getting anything." She said. "Yeah, it's been a while I guess we're going to have to do it the old fashion way." Jesse goes into the water.
"Okay Rach look, the key to it is that I'm going to scare some of them off and make them scatter make it easier to catch them okay." Jesse said. "Okay." Rachel answered. "Then you two have to scoop em up when you see them alright you with me?" He asked making serious face. "Yeah." Rachel said. "Hell yeah now you show me your mean face." Jesse said showing her his grr face. "Grrr." Rachel growled softly. "Come on Rachel you can do it GRRRR." Jesse said again. "GRRRRR" Rachel growled louder smiling at him. Jesse laughed at the little girl in front of him.
"Okay here I go." Jesse said. Jesse slowly puts the bucket down into the water and then he drops into the water deeper on purpose and starts spreading the water in Rachel's direction, she was getting a little wet from the splashes, but she didn't care she was having fun.
Holly, Cassandra, Beiste, Brittany , Alana and Marley were washing clothes, while Derek and Jeff were doing a watch. "You know I'm starting to question the division of labor here." Holly said. "Why do women always have to do the cleaning work?" She asked. "Well not all the women." Alana said shrugging. "Since the beginning of the time." Brittany said joking. "It's just us Girls." She added.
Santana/Puck and company make it to the fence that heads to the city. They go in and figure out a plan. "Hiram first or the supplies?" Santana asked. "Hiram first, we ain't having this conversation." Leroy replied.
"We are, Sugar you know the layout better it's your call." Santana said. "Hiram's closest, The R.V are behind the building on the street where Hiram's on, Hiram's first." Sugar replied. They run in further into the city.
The women were still washing the clothes as they were talking. "I miss my guns and survival knife." Cassandra said. "I miss dancing and my studio." Brittany said. "I miss my Coffee maker with built in filter and grinder." Alana said. "I miss texting." Marley said. "I miss my Vibrator." Cassandra said. Everyone give her a funy look and smiling then they start laughing a little. "Me too..." Beiste added quietly. They all burst out laughing. Cooter Beiste's husband walks down to them. "What's so funny?" He asked. "Nothing Cooter just exchanging stories." Cassandra replied. "Is there a problem?" She asked. "Nothing that concerns you." Cooter replied. "This is work not a comedy club." He said smoking his cigarette. They just looked at hi and continue working on in silence.
Quinn comes down to see Rachel and Jesse. "Hey Rach what did Santana and I tel you about leaving Derek's side?" She asked. "Jesse said we could catch frogs so –" Rachel said but she was cut off. "It doesn't matter what Jesse says it's what san and I say, come on go back to the camp." She said. "Okay..." She said with a sigh and walking away. "I'll be right behind you." Quinn called behind.
When Rachel left, Quinn turned on Jesse, "Hey Jackass you better stay away from my girl, I thought Santana made it clear the other day. Just watch it Jesse or I will tell the group who you trully is." Quinn threatened. "You shouldn't put all that on her." Jesse replied shaking his head. "Don't tell me what to do you had no privilege for it and Rachel is my little girl so I have every right to tell you for her sake." Quinn spat.
"Hey come on I won't hurt that little girl, I don't know how it appears to yo but –" Jesse trying to say but was cut off by her. "How it appears to me what is there like gray area here let me expand it, you stay away from Rachel, Brittany and my group, especially that little girl, you don't look at her or talk to her." Quinn said. "Come on I don't think that's fair, I didn't do a thing to you or her or anyone here." Jesse said.
"Shut up, shut up, I know you didn't but you're a murderer before all this happened I can't trust you with my girl there so just listen to what I said you son of a bitch." Quinn said angrily and walks off.
The others in the city make it inside the building, they checking for any walkers. No sign of them the walk further into the building after Leroy shoots one with his crossbow and made their way upstairs.
As the women were still washing the clothes, Cassandra had enough of Cooper just looking at them washing. "You know what? You don't like seeing laundry done then why don't you pitch in and do it yourself." Cassandra said as she tossed the wet shirt to Cooper. Cooper throws it back at her. "It ain't my job Missy." Cooper said.
"Cassandra don't." Holly said trying to hold her sister. "Then what is your job Cooper? Laying on your ass smoking ciggerates?" Cassandra spat. "It sure as hell ain't listening to an uppity smart mouth bitch tell you what?" Cooper said as he walk towarsd her. "Hey that's not nice to say that to anyone!" Marley joined in. "Why don't you shut your damn mouth, little girl." Cooper said to Marley.
"Come on Shannon." Cooper said grabbing her wife's arm. "HEY!" Jake yelled walking toward him. "What did you just say to my girlfriend?" Jake said. "You heard me or is that you're too stupid to understand that?" Cooper said mocking the teenager.
"Screw you! Let me tell you something old man nobody speaks to my girlfriend or anybody else around here like that!" jake said. "Oh yeah? What are you going to do about it?" Cooper said slighty pushing Jake. "That's what I thought now run off and go back study some more little boy." Cooper muttered. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Jake yelled and puches him in the face but it hardly does anything because Cooper way too big for him. Cooper goes and punches Jake right n the jaw knocking him down. "JAKE!" Marley yelled as she runs to Jake's side while Jake's holding his jaw feeling that if it's okay. "Are you crazy?! He's a kid you bastard!" Brittany shouted in disbelief that he really did punch a kid.
"He had it coming." Cooper said as if he didn't do anything wrong and he grabs Shannon's arm and forces her to come with him. As the other women start arguing Cooper slaps Shannon in the face.
Everyone goes crazy, then Jesse stepped in and drags Cooper away and starts beating him into the ground. "You put your hands on your wife or anybody else in this camp one more time I will not stop next tim. DO YOU HEAR ME!" Jesse yelled as he puched him in frustration earlier. "Yes..." Cooper said faintly. "I'll beat you to death Cooper, believe me I will." He said giving him one final punch to face and then kicking him. Shannon runs to Cooper side as he was on the ground.
Back in the city, the grou[s head up to the roof. "HIRAM! HIRAM!" Leroy yelled. They head to the roof as they make it there, all they see is a bloody saw and a severed hand. "Oh god..." Ryder said. He throws up because of the sight of the hand. "NO! NO!" Leroy yelled.
