As much as I would like to own them, all the characters of Glee belong to Fox - I own nothing. No copyright infringement intended. This is purely for entertainment purposes. All writing is my own. I do not own GLEE, it's plot or it's characters.

Chapter 11, wow. I can't believe it! Anyway, much love as always to everybody who added Rise to their story favourites and alerts. Much appreciated. Plus, as it's Pezberry week (woo!), I thought I'd add a little more Pezberry interaction in this chapter, in the form of a duet. The song that I used is the track of the week on my Tumblr, so go check it out (plus it's pretty obvious which track I chose).

Also, I just wanted to let you know about a couple of things. My blog over on Tumblr is finally up to scratch, because as a precaution due to the purge on here, I wanted to make sure that it's backed up and that if it is purged, you still have a place to continue reading it. Also, I post story artwork there as well as my DeviantArt account, and a new thing that I'm trying, a track of the week. I just posted Santana's 'Kick Ass' playlist there too. So, just hit me up (look below for details). I also sorted out my twitter account so if you want to come talk to me, or want story exclusives, come message me.

Now that's over (phew), here are the details:

Tumblr - Shinodafan94 (Blog: Lost In The Echo)

Twitter- AliciaKFan94

DeviantArt - Shinodafan94

I hope you come and say hi, as I update my Tumblr blog frequently and check my twitter regularly. Come say hi, I won't bite. Or, at least not like Santana and Quinn would lol. Peace! :D

Santana giggled as Brittany tickled her with kisses.

"B-Britt, p-please" She stuttered.

Brittany laughed and kissed her way down to her girlfriend's stomach. She momentarily stopped and looked up at Santana's bright red face. Breathing a sigh of relief, Santana wasn't prepared for her girlfriend blowing a raspberry on her stomach. She laughed even harder as her girlfriend blew even more raspberry's.

"Baby, stop!" Santana laughed.

"Magic word San"

Santana tried gaining her composure. "Please..."

Brittany chuckled and placed one last kiss to her girlfriend's stomach and looked up at her. Santana smiled back and watched as Brittany turned her attentions to the gauze pad on her girlfriend's otherwise perfect stomach. Positioned to the left side, just above her hip, the pad was extremely damp.

"Baby, it's already soaked through" Brittany said seriously, looking at the blood-ridden pad.

"I know, but it should be fine, shouldn't it?"

Brittany nodded and lent down, kissing the top of the gauze pad carefully. "Does that feel better?"

"Yeah" Santana breathed out, trying to control herself, but rapidly failing. She gasped when she felt one of Brittany's hands trail lower and graze her crotch. "Oh, Dios mío, ayúdame" She wheezed, Brittany feeling herself grow ever more aroused at the sound of Santana somewhat moaning in Spanish.

"How about we try some sexual healing to make you feel better?" Brittany purred, letting her hand run dangerously over her girlfriend's appendage.

Santana gasped and was about to let Brittany continue when her phone went off on the nightstand. "Shit" She blindly reached for her phone, cursing as she located it. "Joder! Idiota estúpido! Whoever it is better have a good fucking reason for invading my tiempo de intimidad con mi novia super caliente! Fucking cockblock!"

Brittany blushed when she heard Santana rant in a mix of English and Spanish. She watched as Santana squinted at the screen. "Glasses, babe" She said.

Santana looked at her and smiled, reaching over for her glasses that were on the nightstand. "Thanks"

Brittany acknowledged her thanks with a kiss to her patched up stomach. Santana looked back at the screen once she had put her glasses on. Seeing the screen better, she found a text from Rachel of all people.

"Who is it?" Brittany asked, rubbing soothing circles over the gauze pad with one of her thumbs.

"Rachel, of all people. Your best friend never texts me"

"What does it say, is it serious?" Brittany asked, already getting worried about her best friend.

Santana reached one of her hands down and cupped her girlfriends face. "She's probably fine. I'm just getting round to reading it." Santana watched as Brittany nodded in response, so she looked back at the text.

-Berry-

'Hey, I know I don't text you very often, but I didn't have a choice. Quinn left her phone in her room, and I found Brittany's phone in my purse for some strange reason. Anyway, none of us wanted to disturb you so I text you. Me and everybody else wanted to know if you wanted to come downstairs and hang out. It will do you good.'

Santana chuckled, trust Rachel to write the longest text ever, using full words as well.

"What did she want?" Brittany asked, breaking her from her thoughts.

"She said that she couldn't text you because your phone was in her purse."

"So that's where it went!" Brittany exclaimed, interrupting Santana.

The latina smiled and continued. "Anyway, she wanted to know if we would come downstairs and hang out with everybody, and that it would do me good"

Brittany looked up at her girlfriend. "Are you up for it?" She asked, slightly motioning towards her still healing wound.

Santana sighed and thought about it for a few moments before answering. "Let's go" She said. Brittany grinned happily and helped Santana up. She went over to the latina's dresser and picked out a fresh white tank top. Helping her on with it, she stood back to admire the woman before her.

Stood in a pair of loose fitting jeans, her converses, and a tank top, Santana watched as Brittany smiled and pulled her towards the door and downstairs.

When Santana and Brittany reached the main area, Santana homie-gripped Matt.

"What's going on?" She asked.

Matt grinned. "Rachel's set up a mini karaoke bar."

"Oh, dear God! Guardar todos nosotros!" She sighed dramatically.

Matt laughed. "I know, but I got your back S"

Santana homie-gripped him again. "Thanks, and I've got yours. Just know that if you perform, the video camera is so coming out. I know you have an addiction towards singing Rihanna songs!"

Matt flushed a bright red colour, and Santana laughed, patting him on the back. "Don't worry, I won't tell anybody"

"Who told you about that?"

"A little sugar sweet birdy told me" She winked, knowing fully well that Sugar knew everybody's little secrets. She felt a tug on the edge of her tank top and saw Brittany looking at her cutely. "What is it, Britt-Britt?"

Brittany pointed over to Rachel and Quinn, the blond girl holding the diva upon her lap and kissing her like no tomorrow. "Can we please go and see what Rach has set up?" She pleaded.

Instantly giving in, Santana nodded. "Ok, let's go see what their doing"

Brittany squealed in delight as she dragged her girlfriend towards their best friends.

Santana grinned as she was pulled up to Rachel and Quinn. She moved behind Brittany and wrapped her arms around her, pulling the blonde's back to her front. Brittany cleared her throat as she felt Santana nuzzle into her shoulder.

Rachel and Quinn broke apart from their impromptu make out session and Quinn blushed bright red whilst Rachel licked her lips.

"Sorry about that" Rachel said from her place on Quinn's lap.

"It's ok Rachie" Brittany smiled innocently.

Rachel smiled back and let out a sigh of relief. She looked down at her girlfriend who was still blushing. "Quinn, are you ok?"

Santana smirked. "Yeah, you ok Blondie?"

Quinn blushed an even deeper shade of red whilst Rachel frowned and playfully slapped Santana on the arm. "What?" She squeaked.

Knowing what had happened, as she was located upon the blond girls lap, she spoke up. "Stop hassling my girlfriend and sit down. We are all here for a reason, Santana."

"Yeah, whatever Berry" Santana said as she moved to sit down next to Quinn on the couch, pulling Brittany into her own lap.

Rachel smiled at the couple and turned back to her own girlfriend. "You ok baby?" She whispered.

"I think so"

"Ok, but how about we take care of it a little later? Hmm?" She asked, rocking on Quinn's lap a little, feeling the blond's response through the jeans that she was wearing. She bit her lip and decided to ignore her girlfriend's evident bulge for now. "We are definitely sorting this out later" She purred into the blonds ear seductively. Quinn shakily nodded and Rachel lent in, placing a loving kiss on her lips before sitting up once more.

"Ok, so is everybody ready?" She asked excitedly. Quinn chuckled at her girlfriend's eagerness and ability to quickly switch from downright seductive to excited in a matter of moments.

The was a chorus of yes' and nods. Rachel smiled triumphantly, and Quinn felt her heart melt at the sight. The brunette kissed Quinn once more and stood up, smoothing out her skirt, asking everybody who wanted to go first. Quinn instantly held her hands over her lap as Brittany shot her hand up. Santana smiled and gave her a quick kiss before letting the excited blond stand up in front of everybody.

A few moments later, the opening notes of Whitney Houston's 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' started playing. Santana grinned, knowing that her girlfriend was about to kill it on stage. Brittany watched as Santana clapped for her, so she grabbed the microphone and started singing. The entire way through the song Santana's smile never faultered, in fact it grew impossibly wider whenever she heard Brittany sing 'she' or 'woman' instead of the original 'him' or 'man'.

When Brittany finished, she bounded up to Santana and sat back down on the latina's lap. "That was amazing babe!" Santana gushed, kissing the blond in appreciation.

Brittany giggled. "Thank you. Did it make you feel a little better?" She asked shyly, letting one of her thumbs caress the spot where Santana's wound was through her tank top.

Santana nodded, reveling in the feeling of Brittany's soothing thumb over her aching wound.

"Come on Santana" Santana was brought out of her girlfriend-induced haze by Rachel.

"What?" She asked, dazed.

"Come on, we're doing a duet"

Santana's eyes buldged at the idea. "What?"

"Yes, I know for a fact that you are a good singer, and it will do you good to have some fun!" Rachel huffed, her hands on her hips as she stood in front of Santana imposingly.

"Please, at least do it for me." Quinn said as she turned to her best friend, silently pleading for her to at least try to bond with her brunette girlfriend.

"Yeah, please Sanny! Do it for me too!"

Santana took one look at Brittany's face and knew she wouldn't be able to resist. She sighed, "Ok, ok. I'll do a duet with you"

Rachel bounced up and down exictedly. "Thank you Santana!"

"Yeah, yeah. Let me get up a minute" Brittany got off her lap and helped her up, kissing her before rejoining Quinn on the couch.

Quinn and Brittany looked at each other and smiled. Both knowing exactly what the other was thinking, Quinn pulled out her phone from her jean pocket and handed Brittany hers, which she had just fished out of Rachel's purse.

"Ok, what song do you want to do?"

Santana thought for a few moments before Mercedes cut in. "Whitney girl! Just as well keep it going!"

Santana laughed. "Thanks 'Cedes" Mercedes nodded in acknowledgement.

"I guess it's Whitney night" Santana shrugged.

Rachel smiled. "The official Whitney Houston karaoke night is underway!" She said excitedly as she selected a song.

Before Santana could even begin to think about picking a song, the opening notes to 'So Emotional' started playing through the speakers. She sighed and picked up a microphone, ignoring the dull aching throb above her abdomen.

[Santana: spoken]

I don't know why I like it, ha

I just do

Ooh, ooh. Hee

I've been hearing your heartbeat inside of me

I keep your photograph beside my bed

Livin' in a world of fantasies

I can't get you out of my head

[Rachel]

I've been waiting for the phone to ring all night

Why you wanna make me feel so good?

I've got a love of my own, baby

I shouldn't get so hung up on you

[Santana and Rachel]

[Chorus]

I remember the way that we touched I wish I didn't like it so much, Oh

I get so emotional, baby

Every time I think of you

I get so emotional, baby

Ain't it shocking what love can do?

[Rachel] Ain't it shocking what love can do?

[Santana and Rachel] Ain't it shocking what love can do? Hee

I gotta watch you walk in the room, baby

I gotta watch you walk out, mm-hmm

I like the animal way that you move

And when you talk, I just watch your mouth

[Chorus]

Oh, I remember the way that we touched I wish I didn't like it so much, (No, no, no)

I get so emotional, baby

Every time I think of you

I get so emotional, baby

Ain't it shocking what love can do?

I get so emotional….

[Santana] Oh baby

[Santana and Rachel] Oh, oh yea!

Eventhough both Quinn and Brittany had their phones out recording them, Santana and Rachel didn't seem to mind, so they threw caution to the wind and gave the song all they had. When the song finally came to an end, Rachel and Santana nearly collapsed on one another, hugging each other in excitement. They were then met with a round of applause from everybody in the room.

When Santana collapsed back onto the couch, Brittany sat back on her lap, kissing the now exhausted latina. "That was really good Sanny!" She said, peppering Santana's face with kisses.

Quinn laughed as Rachel repositioned herself on her lap. "Yeah, but I think it wore her out!"

"Definitely" Tina agreed from her place beside the couch.

Brittany nodded in agreement as she kissed Santana's cheek. "So good" She whispered into the latina's ear.

"Good one Rach. That was pretty epic" Santana said as she smiled. Reaching her hand up, both her and Rachel high fived.

"It was pretty amazing wasn't it?" Rachel beamed. Quinn smiled and wrapped her arms around her a little tighter.

"It was out of this world baby" Quinn said as she buried her face into Rachel's shoulder. "I'm so proud of you" She mumbled.

"Thank you" She grinned. "So, who's next?"

As soon as the door closed, Brittany pressed Santana up against it. Santana groaned in pain and Brittany instantly pulled away.

"Britt..."

"Are you sure you want to do this? Your still hurt San" She said as she hugged herself tightly.

Santana reached out and pulled Brittany to her as close as possible. "Britt, I'm more than ready. I've been waiting over a week for this. I needs to get my lovin' on. I know you've 'gone down' on me, but I really need this, and I know that it's gonna hurt a little, but I can assure you both you and I will feel much better when we're done. I really need to feel you, and not just from the outside, but from the inside too. I need to feel your body, Britt."

Brittany looked up at her and saw the seriousness in her girlfriend's eyes. "Are you completely sure?"

Santana nodded and let her hands grip Brittany's waist a little tighter to excentuate her point. "Yes"

Brittany grinned and cupped Santana's face, pulling her in for a heated kiss. Santana pulled Brittany as close as possible, and the blond smiled as she kissed her, feeling Santana's ecitement down below. She let her hands drift down below to Santana's belt, but was stopped by a pair of strong tan hands.

"Wait" Santana said as she pulled away and walked over to her iPod dock. She fumbled around for a few moments and then the sleek opening to Ciara's 'Like A Surgeon' started drifting out of the speakers. She walked back up to Brittany and returned to her place up against the door, pulling the taller girl towards her.

'Head back eyes close

deep breath let it go

bare with me i'll take good care'

Brittany kissed Santana sensually, but pulled away slightly so that she could sing the next part against her girlfriend's lips.

'I'm an expert other girls just can't compare

I'm highly recommended

don't need a second opinion

you'll be all better baby once i'm finished

so be a good patient be patient

stay under my observation

and holla back in the morning'

Brittany pushed herself up against the latina as she sang the words, kissing her fully once she finished the verse. When she came to the pre-chorus, she pulled Santana with her and laid her down on the bed.

'When it comes to love i'm like a surgeon i'ma true tactician

I'ma make your body better when we get in the right position

I'm like a surgeon i'ma make yo body jump

Everytime my body pumps (uh huh uh huh)

She sang as she left feather light kisses up her girlfriends body. She looked up at Santana and tugged on her shirt, silently asking for permission to undress her. Santana nodded and arched up when Brittany kissed her bare stomach, proceeding to then pull the whole shirt off. She pulled her own off, as well as her own jeans, now naked except for her underwear.

'I'm like a surgeon until yo reflexes leave your knees

My Loves like anesthesia I'll rock you fast to sleep

I'm like a surgeon ooh yes i'm fully qualified

Lay yo head back on that pillow and relax yo mind'

"You sure?" Brittany asked, looking up at Santana's face, which was now a deep shade of red.

"Yes" Santana wheezed, desparately needing Brittany to move her hand lower.

Brittany saw how her girlfriend was tensing everytime that she moved near her appendage. She smiled and started to undo the belt, this time not being stopped. She unbuckled the belt painfully slow, and unzipped the zip at the same speed, feeling Santana squirming below her.

"What do you need Santana?" She asked, stopping her movements to look up at her girlfriend again.

"Britt...please..." Santana whined.

"I asked, what do you need Santana?"

Santana rolled her eyes back as Brittany demanded what she wanted. God, she loved it when Brittany got aggressive.

"T-t..." She stuttered, her eyes fluttering at the feeling of Brittany so close to her crotch.

"I asked-" She was cut off mid-sentence by Santana calling out what she wanted.

"Fucking touch me Brittany!" She yelled.

The blond smirked and sat up so that she could straddle Santana, making sure to be careful enough so that she wasn't sat directly on top of her girlfriends painfully obvious erection. Santana watched as Brittany unclasped her bra and threw it on the floor behind her. The blond leant forward and managed to pull Santana's bra off before she let the girl lay back down on the bed. The latina's eyes fluttered once more when she felt her girlfriend move, her wetness soaking through her underwear on onto her thighs.

"Your so wet already, B" Santana groaned, her hands now holding onto Brittany's hips tightly.

"You are too" The blond girl replied, earning a loud moan from Santana as she cupped her through her boxers. "Are you wet for me too baby?" She asked, leaning down so that she could whisper into the latina's ear, gently nibbling on the earlobe.

Santana managed to catch her breath long enough to answer her girlfriend. "Yes" she groaned as she felt Brittany start to tease her through her boxers, which were starting to feel extremely constricting. "Britt...just touch me properly, please. Don't tease."

"Do you want it bad Santana?" Brittany teased.

"So bad..."

Brittany smiled and felt that she had teased Santana enough, and sat up.

"What are you doing?" Santana wheezed, wondering why Brittany had gotten up off her. She was answered when she watched Brittany take off her panties and move back to straddle her. The blond sat on top of her once more, and finally pulled down her boxers. She groaned as she felt herself spring free of the constricting material.

Brittany smirked and reached up behind her girlfriend, managing to pick up a blue foil packet off the nightstand. Santana sighed in relief when she saw what was in Brittany's hand, knowing that she was so close to finally getting her loving on.

She let her head hit the pillow as she felt Brittany dip her hands and get to work below. She almost came and moaned rather loudly when she felt the blonds hands finally touch her sex. She heard Brittany moan in response when she ground down on top of her. Her eyes rolled back in pleasure when she felt Brittany's wetness come into contact with her erection.

"Your so wet" She groaned as Brittany slid up and down her length.

"I need you Santana" She said, feeling Santana grab her hips tightly to hold her in place.

"What do you need Britt?" She asked.

Brittany moaned when she felt Santana buck up into her a little. "You. Inside me. Now"

Santana didn't need to be told twice, and lined herself up with Brittany's entrance, both of them groaning loudly when Santana entered.

Building up a steady rhythm, Santana held onto Brittany tightly as they moved as one. The blond lent down to place a chaste kiss on Santana's lips before sitting back up. Santana watched as Brittany's pleasure rose. The taller girl moaned, causing Santana to pick up the pace a little more. Panting heavily, Brittany lent down a little so that she was relatively close to the latina's face, and looked deep into her eyes, not just feeling the physical connection of what they were doing, but the emotional and mental connection it gave them as a couple.

"I love you" She whispered, looking down at Santana's sweaty face.

"I love you too" And they met halfway with a chaste kiss before Brittany pulled away and moaned loudly.

"I-I...oh God, right there Santana!" She breathed, knowing that she was close to climaxing.

"Does that feel good?" Santana asked, picking up her pace even more.

The blond moaned again in response and Santana knew that they were both close to the edge.

"I'm so close baby!" Brittany panted as she moved in sync with her girlfriend.

Holding Brittany's hips tightly, Santana let out a loud moan as she started to feel Brittany clenching down on her. "I'm so close too, Britt. Come for me baby" She urged, and with one last thrust, Santana went deep enough to hit the dancer's coveted g-spot. Brittany's walls convulsed, and she collapsed down onto Santana, who still needed her release.

Burying her head into Santana's neck, Brittany placed a soft kiss to the warm skin, whispering into her girlfriend's ear. "Come on, you can do it baby" She purred, knowing that Santana was close to releasing.

Santana grunted, and Brittany started to feel her own pleasure rising again. "Your so tight, B" Santana groaned, knowing that she was about to fall off the edge.

Brittany smiled and placed another kiss before moaning rather loudly as she felt her pleasure rising by the second. "Fuck me, Santana" She moaned, and that was all the latina needed, falling off the edge and riding out her orgasm, her rapid thrusts eventually coming to a stop.

Brittany traced patterns on Santana's bare chest as she cuddled up next to her with her still inside her. Feeling her girlfriend's member go a little soft, she wiggled a bit.

Santana felt her heartbeat slow down as she lay down, holding her arms tightly around Brittany's sweaty frame. When she felt Brittany wriggle, she moved to pull out, only to be stopped. Brittany placed a firm hand on her shoulder and told her to stop. "Don't." She said, holding her girlfriend down. "I want you to stay inside me for just a little longer"

Santana just nodded, knowing that they both needed to feel the physical connection just that little bit longer. "Ok" She sighed, placing a kiss to the top of Brittany's head as she let her finger's play with strands of her beautiful long blond hair.

After a few more moments of silence, Brittany spoke up. "Santana?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you ok to go again?" She asked innocently.

Santana chuckled. "I thought you'd never ask"

The next day, just after noon, Santana was sat in the TV room with Sam, discussing the TV series that they were watching. Quinn was also sat in the room, just enjoying the banter of her two friends. Blaine and Quinn looked at each other knowingly and smiled before looking back at the screen.

"No way man, the films are so much better than the series!" Sam exclaimed from his comfy bean bag on the floor.

Santana shook her head in disagreement. "No, I'm telling you now, that the TV series kicks ass, no question about it!"

The films and shows in question, were the Blade trilogy, and the Blade series. "Says who?"

"Says me. Plus, I reckon that no matter which way you look at it, both the series and the films are as good as each other. Although, I have to say that I am so much better at kicking ass than them."

Santana was interrupted by Brittany and Rachel entering the room, snacks in hand. Brittany beamed at Santana and joined her on the lay-z-boy couch that she was sat on. Rachel moved over to Quinn and sat on the blonds lap, as there was only room for one in her individual lay-z-boy chair.

"As I was saying-" Santana was immediately interrupted once again by the door opening. Kurt stuck his head around the door and looked at the occupants of the room, smiling at his boyfriend before focusing on Santana.

"Sorry to interrupt guys, but Tina and Sugar found something that's really important that they need us all to look at now"

Santana looked at the members of her team that were scattered around the room and then looked back at Kurt. "We'll be there. Give us a minute"

Kurt nodded and closed the door, leaving them alone once more. "Come on guys, let's go. I'll be back in a minute, Britt" She said as she kissed her girlfriend's cheek.

Brittany smiled and pulled her girlfriend into a loving kiss before letting her stand up.

Rachel and Brittany watched as everybody left the room except for them. Sitting down into Quinn's lay-z-boy, which was now warmed up thanks to the blond, Rachel debated on going to see what they were doing that needed everybody to go together.

"Britt, do you think we should follow them?" She asked, biting on her nails in apprehension.

"Why?"

"We're supposed to be finding out what they're hiding from us."

Brittany was paying attention, but also not paying attention. Something had caught her eye. She lent down and picked up Sam's discarded bottle of drink, which was still half full. Sniffing it, she pulled away and scrunched her nose up at the smell.

"Eew!"

Rachel was brought out of her thoughts mid-rant as she turned to face her best friend. She saw Brittany holding a bottle of so-called energy drink.

"Britt, what are you doing?" She asked.

"Haven't you ever wondered what they were drinking?"

Sure, Rachel had wondered what the strange red liquid was, but she never questioned it. She just went on Quinn's words and left them to it. But, now that they had full access to it without their girlfriend's there to see them, Rachel was slightly curious as to what the drink was.

She got up and sat next to Brittany on the couch. The blond extended the hand which she was holding the bottle in and let Rachel have a sniff. The brunette recoiled in disgust, holding her arm up to her nose.

"Eew, that smells horrible!" She shrieked.

"I wonder what it tastes like" Brittany said, examining the bottle in her hand.

Rachel recovered in time only to be too late. "Britt... no!" She yelled, too late to stop her friend from taking a long sip of the drink.

Brittany instantly recoiled and gagged. "Ugh, that's horrible!" She said, scrunching her face up in utter disgust.

"What do you mean?"

"It's like something salty, I don't know. It's definitely not sweet!"

"Here, pass me it" Rachel took the bottle from her friend and took a similar swig of the thick red liquid, only to gag herself at the horrible taste. "Ugh, I've never tasted something so sickening in my whole life! That's disgusting!" She said as she held the bottle away at arms length.

"What do you think it is?" Brittany said, eyeing the bottle in her friend's hand.

"It tastes like... I don't know... blood almost. God, no wonder they said we wouldn't like it!" Rachel said, still recoiling in disgust.

Brittany took the bottle into her hands and examined the special label that was attached to it. "Rachie, why does it say 'O-Negative' on it?"

Rachel took the bottle once more and looked at what her friend had read. "I don't know, but I'm gonna put it back where it was. I'm never tasting it ever again." And with that, she put the bottle back down next to Sam's beanbag.

"Come on, let's go see what our girlfriend's are up to" Rachel said, pulling Brittany out of the room.

The two made their way down the hallways, and finally heard the sound of voices. She put her finger to her lips, motioning for Brittany to be quiet and stood ever more closer to the door so that they could just make out what was being said.

On the other side of the door, Tina was about to start explaining what she and Sugar had found.

"Ok guys, so we all know Sugar has street contacts. Best part is, they've really helped us with this mission, and they've just helped us again. Sugar?"

Sugar nodded and smiled at the Asian girl before taking over the explanation that she had started. "My contacts helped us before, but this time I got an anonymous tip saying that Joe and Rory have been sighted with Jesse St. James over on the other side of the city. This is our first break since the last mission we went on, and it's our only tangible lead so far."

"I suggest we take it and see what happens. We haven't had anything to go on since that night when Santana got hurt and Joe got away with new-born Rory." Tina added.

"I agree. This is our best lead yet, and I'll be damned if Joe get's away again after what he did to me. How soon can we move out?" Santana asked from her seat in between Blaine and Quinn.

"I would say as soon as night falls." Tina agreed.

"Oh no!" Everybody turned to Artie. "You are not going anywhere, Santana"

"Why not?"

"Because you still aren't fully healed. Your wound is still open and you seem to be taking an awful long time to heal. Your not ready to be over exerting yourself. Your still limping around now, and trying to fight something might tear open the parts of your wound that has already healed."

"Fine" She thought for a few seconds before speaking up again. "Quinn, your in charge."

"What?" The blond asked in surprise.

"You heard me. Your in charge of leading the team, but I want you in constant radio contact."

"I think your vulnerable if you let all of us go. I want to make sure your safe. S, you have to have someone stay behind" Artie said.

Santana looked at the boy and sighed. "Ok, ok. Whatever. How about I keep two people back?"

"Fine with me, as long as they can protect you" He said, crossing his arms across his chest.

"As I'm leading the team, maybe I should pick who stays behind." Quinn said from her place beside Santana.

"I am still here you know. How about this. I choose someone, and then Quinn can choose the second person. Your all just as talented and skilled as each other, so I'm no way picking based on either of those. I pick Tina. I know for a fact she's able to protect me" The Asian girl beamed, loving the fact that she could stay behind and work the tech angle from her lay-z-boy in the cinema room.

"Alright, Blaine, your up. As for everybody else, your in the field tonight. As usual, teams will be set up on the way there. Be ready to leave by nightfall" Quinn said, looking over to Santana for approval of her orders. The latina nodded. She wouldn't have trusted anybody else to lead her team instead of her.

"Yeah, meeting dismissed. Good work tech freaks." Santana said as she stood up.

Rachel's eyes went wide and signaled for Brittany to leave with her down the hallway. The two friends ran away, hoping that they wouldn't be caught snooping. They ducked into the kitchen and pretended that they had gotten up to get snacks and have a toilet break.

As Brittany busied herself with making a sandwich, she felt a strong pair of arms wrap around her waist from behind.

"Hey Britt-Britt" Santana whispered.

Brittany smiled and giggled when Santana kissed the sensitive spot behind her ear.

"Hey Sanny"

"What are you doing?"

"I was hungry so I was making a sandwich."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah"

"Can I have a bite?"

Brittany giggled and finished making the sandwich. She turned around in Santana's embrace so that she was pinned up against the counter. She grinned and told Santana to open her mouth. "Open your mouth San"

The latina nodded and opened her mouth, awaiting the sandwich. She closed her eyes as she was fed by her girlfriend. She groaned at how good it tasted.

"Hmm...that was good babe"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah" Santana smiled evilly and lent forward, capturing her girlfriend's lips in a heated kiss.

Ever since the night before, she found her libido and urges reacting and growing without her consent. Last night had been unlike any other. They had made love for the first time since Santana had been injured, and both the physical and emotional connections had been as intense as the first time they made love together. That meant, Santana couldn't keep her hands off her girlfriend, and that as she slowly kissed her way down Brittany's jaw, for the first time she had to try and control herself from releasing her fangs. Her skin smelled tantalizingly good at that moment and Santana buried herself into Brittany's shoulder.

"How long before you finish that sandwich?" She asked.

Brittany grinned, knowing exactly what Santana wanted to go and do. "Not long"

Santana growled against her girlfriend's neck, holding her tightly. "Eat the sandwich now, Britt. And hurry, because I don't think I can hold myself back any longer"

"Ok" Brittany said as she ate the sandwich as quickly as possible.

Once finished, Santana grabbed her hand and led her up to her bedroom, ready to enjoy herself in a way that she only could with Brittany.

Nightfall...

Santana, Tina and Blaine were stood outside waving the team off.

"You got the video cams on your guns ready?" Santana asked.

Quinn nodded. "Yep"

"Good. What about head cams?"

"We're all set up, wired and ready to go."

"Good. 'Cedes, as Quinn is in charge today, your moving up the chain of command. Today your Quinn's second in command, so that means you are second most important person on the team. Got it?"

Mercedes nodded. "Loud and clear S"

"Right, so me, Tina and Blaine will all be working from here. Well, from our lay-z-boy's, but that's not the point. We'll be working the tech angle from here, and I'll still have final say on stuff got it?" Everybody nodded. "Quinn, you know your plan of action?"

The blond nodded. "Yep. We're meeting the contact at the meeting place and we're gonna head over to where our marks were last seen."

"I think you guys are ready. Move out! Quinn, come here for a sec." As everybody got into the van, she pulled her best friend to the side. "I know that both me and Tina are not gonna be with you, but I trust you to lead the team. Mercedes has your back and if you need me, I'm gonna be locked into the feed the whole time. Us three are gonna go and get wired now."

"I know, thanks San. Take it easy"

"I will" she replied as they pulled each other in for a hug. "Now go chase that lead" Santana said as she pushed Quinn towards the van.

The three watched the team drive off and made their way towards the equipment room to wire themselves ready to listen to the mission feed.

"San, you ok with staying behind?" Tina asked as the three of them walked down the hallway.

"I can't say I'm alright about it, but I trust what Artie says, and if he says I'm not fit enough to go on a mission, I'm not gonna second guess his words. Today we'll just have to sit back and let them do the work."

"I'm definitely not complaining" Blaine laughed, opening the door.

"Me too" Tina said.

"Me three" Santana added as they walked into the room and started wiring themselves up. "Hey, T?"

Tina looked up from what she was doing. "Yeah?"

"Do you think you could link me in with the video feed through my iPad?"

"Yeah, I don't see why not."

"Cool. I'll go and get it out of my meditation room"

"I'll come too, makes it easier"

"Fine with me. We'll meet you in the cinema room Blaine. I call the couch."

"And I call the lay-z-boy" Tina said, sticking up her hand.

Blaine just rolled his eyes and began to exit. "Yeah, yeah" He sighed, leaving.

The two girls laughed as they finished up and headed for Santana's meditation room.

"So, S. Now that I have you on your own, I wanted to ask you something."

"Right, what was it?" She asked as she unlocked the door.

"You seem to have this glow about you today. Not to mention Brittany does too. Did you two do something last night?"

"Why'd you ask?"

"Me and Kurt were just curious that's all" She said as she watched Santana make her way over to her tech set-up.

"If you must know, last night I had the most intense love making session I've ever had. It was almost as good as the first time me and Britt did it together."

"Really, S?" Tina said, raising an eyebrow and crossing her arms.

"What? It was really good. And I'm not just saying that. I mean it was really mind blowingly good. I had the most intense or-"

"Too much information S! Really!" Tina interrupted.

Santana laughed. "Ha, just because my love life is super hot, doesn't mean I can't tell people about it."

Tina just rolled her eyes as Santana found what she needed and left the room. Locking the door behind her, the two women made their way towards the cinema room.

Santana made herself comfortable on the couch whilst Tina made herself comfortable in the lay-z-boy next to it.

"T, can you link me into this iPad too?" Blaine asked, holding up his very own. "It's just that I want to watch Kurt's video feed."

Tina nodded. "Hold on a sec. There, you should both be linked in. When they turn their feeds on, they should appear on the screen. Then you can choose whichever one you want to follow."

Santana nodded. "Good work" She said as she high-fived the Asian girl.

"Thanks T. Oh, I also got you guys drinks. San, I got you your real stuff as well"

"Thanks Blaine" Tina said, thanking him.

Santana nodded in agreement. "Yeah, thanks Alpha."

The boy just nodded and Santana looked back at what she was doing. Something caught her gaze out the corner of her eye. She reached forward and picked up Sam's discarded bottle.

"Guys, didn't we say not to leave half full bottles laying around?"

Tina and Blaine looked up from their iPads to see Santana looking at the bottle.

"Yeah, it's basic 101 knowledge of the do's and dont's that we have in place." Tina said.

"Yeah, but this bottle is left on it's own. Didn't we leave Rachel and Brittany in here on their own when we went to the meeting in your tech room?"

"Oh God, we did" Blaine said in shock.

"Shit. What if they tasted it? We've told them time and time again not to, maybe this time they thought that as me and Quinn weren't there they would. Shit. I hate to think what would happen if they tasted this stuff. It's pure blood."

"Let's just hope they haven't" Tina said as she tapped away on her iPad. "Hey, the feeds now on!" She said and Santana and Blaine both looked down at their iPads.

"Looks as if Quinn's worked fast. Looks like she's found out where they've been spotted."

"Yeah. I'm gonna open communications." Santana pressed her earpiece with her fingers. "What have you got for me Quinn?"

"The contact reckons that last night they were spotted here setting up something. It's some kind of canning factory. Other than that I can't say anything else."

"I can see you through your gun cam. Tina and Blaine are also linked through earpieces and iPads. We're with you, just not physically. Anyway, who've you got in your team?"

"Matt, Sugar and Mercedes."

"Good. Glad you actually remembered to keep your second in command with you at all times." Santana laughed, proud of how Quinn remembered to keep Mercedes with her at all times.

"Fuck you S"

"Love you too Fabray" She chuckled.

Quinn chuckled too. "But really, it's good to know that you three are watching us. It's good to know your backing us from home-base."

"I know. Anything to keep myself occupied."

"Where's Rach and Britt?"

"I think that their coming back from the store now. Good job they weren't there when you guys shipped out"

"I know. S, can I tell you something?"

"Yeah, what is it?" She asked as she watched Quinn move deeper into the factory.

"Being in this place, I have a bad feeling"

Santana looked over at Tina who was listening in on the feed. From what she could see, Blaine wasn't. "Go ahead Q. Tina's the only other one listening in. What do you have a bad feeling about?"

"I just do, you know. This place looks like it hasn't been touched in years. Surely there would be some signs of someone being in here."

"I'm sure it's all good, but make sure everybody's watching their backs."

"I will"

"What's the other team look like?"

"Artie's in the van so Puck's leading the other team. Sam, Mike and Kurt are with him and last hing he said was that it was quiet on his side of things."

"Good. Know that we've got your backs, Q"

"I know. Can you do one thing for me?"

"Yeah, sure."

"I know it may sound stupid, but can you tell Rach that I love her? I just have a bad feeling about something and I need to make sure she knows"

Santana smiled. "It's not stupid Q. I'll let her know"

"Thanks San"

"No problem. I'm gonna let you go. We're watching your every movement and we're listening in. Let me know if anything changes."

"I will" And Quinn signed off.

"You get that T?"

"Yeah. It is strange. We'll just have to hope that it runs smoothly"

Santana nodded, and thought for a few moments before Brittany and Rachel entered the room. Brittany walked up and wrapped her arms around Santana's neck from behind.

"Hey, baby" She whispered, kissing the side of Santana's face.

"Hey" Santana said, kissing Brittany's hand. "Oh, Berry"

"Yes, Santana?" Rachel asked, rolling her eyes as she sat down on the far end of the couch.

"Quinn told me to tell you she loves you"

"Aww, where is she?"

"Some of the others went out. Me, Tina and Blaine decided to stay in"

"Oh, ok"

Brittany smiled and kissed Santana on the top of the head before joining her on the couch and snuggling up next to her.

Brittany kissed Santana's ear and told her that she was getting up to get a snack. Rachel then decided to join her. Santana watched as the two women left the room and then looked over at Tina.

"How long ago did we speak to Quinn?"

"About half an hour"

"Shit" Santana tapped away on her iPad. "Q, what's happening"

"Nothing much. We're still searching. This place is absolutely huge."

Santana breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. Keep looking. I told Rachel that you loved her"

"Thanks. That means a lot S."

"I know. I'd want you to do the same for me to Brittany."

Santana, Tina and Blaine jumped when they heard a blood curdling scream in the form of Rachel.

"What the fuck?" Santana said, looking at Tina puzzled.

"Maybe we should go check it out." Blaine said.

"S? You ok?" Quinn got no reply as Santana had jumped up with both Tina and Blaine in tow, and left the room.

Santana ran down the hallways, knowing that she had to make sure her best friend's girlfriend was ok. They stopped when they reached the main room where everybody hung out.

Santana stopped dead in her tracks. Stood next to her girlfriend, who was being restrained by a rather large vampire, Rachel in a similar position, was none other than Dr. Jessica Rivera. Santana felt her blood run cold.

"Ah, Santana. Long time no see"

"You fucking bitch!" Santana lunged for her but was held back by Tina and Blaine.

"Miss Lopez, I suggest you restrain yourself, or this pretty blond will feel the wrath of Kobejitsu tradition."

"You wouldn't"

"Oh, but I would. Is this your girlfriend Santana?"

"Fuck you!"

"How's that working out for you? Have you used your wonderful appendage on this thing here?" She asked, gesturing to Brittany.

"She has a name, you bitch. She's not a thing, and you don't deserve to know what the hell I do in my private time."

"Touchy! And what might her name be?"

"Brittany"

"Ah, what a pretty name" She sneered, letting her pointer finger trail down the side of Brittany's face.

"Don't you dare touch her!"

"Oh, but I'm going to anyway" She smirked.

Santana looked Brittany straight in the eyes. The blond shed a tear and Santana felt her heart break at the sight.

"I'm assuming that this pretty little brunette stood next to her is Quinn's girlfriend am I right?" Santana nodded. "And what might be her name?"

"Rachel"

"Nice. If you want to see these two safe, you three had better come with us, no question and without a fight."

Santana looked the evil woman straight in the eye and wished nothing more than to drive her sword straight trough her stomach and ash her.

Jessica watched as Santana stayed quiet. "Just what I thought. Now, if you don't mind, Finn requires our presence."

Santana, Blaine and Tina begrudgingly followed Jessica out of the building with Rachel and Brittany, who were being held tightly against their will.

As she was shoved into the back of the van, Santana really wished she had her sword. She found it strange how Jessica never even made a move to go and find it, but shrugged it off, hoping that Quinn would find out what happened and rescue them, bringing her sword with her.
