Quinnie
Quinn eyes widened in realisation at the two un-dead beings in front of her; there stood her parents looking exactly the same as they did moments before she killed them all those years ago.
She flung the door to slam it shut and ran into the house, she tried to get to the basement to get her weapons, but Russell had caught his foot in the door before it could close properly and had shot after Quinn, grabbing her by the back of the t-shirt as her fingers brushed the door handle of the basement door.
He through her on the sofa and sat in front of her on the coffee table, Judy stood behind her putting her hands firmly on Quinn's shoulders holding her in place
"You're dead, I killed you, this can't be real, I killed you! and we buried you!"
"Yeah well, things can change, and you can change so we're going to try this again-"
"What again?"
"Don't interrupt your father Quinnie"
"He is not my father and you are not my mother!"
Russell huffed "She's completely brain washed you, as I was saying, we are going to try this again. You are going to leave her-"
"Never!"
"Let me finish!" he slapped her across the face as Judy continued to hold her down "You are going to leave her, we are going to take you somewhere safe and they will be taken care of-"
"You can't!" tears fell from Quinn's eyes
"Then you will be able to take your rightful place"
"No we're not trying anything again; I have my rightful place with my family, my wife-" he stood up and slapped her again "My daughter-" another slap that drew blood from her lip, which quickly healed "And my friends"
He raised his arm again but Judy stopped him "Russell, enough!" he looked at her and his cold eyes softened; he nodded his head and sat back down on the table.
"I won't go with you, you can't make me"
"You'll go with us honey" Judy spoke softly making Quinn uneasy. Russell pulled a dagger from behind him; it had been sheathed on his belt.
"This is like your weapons; it can take life from any creature just as easily as yours. Now if I have to I will take you from here at knife point, if you then make the situation more complicated, we will kill you and wait here for you 'family' to get back and we will murder them too, do you understand?"
She just slowly nodded her head and kept her mouth firmly shut while she tried to hold back tears.
He looked up at Judy and signal for her to make the next move, she pulled out a syringe and jammed it in her 'daughters' neck, Quinn cried out in surprise then went limp.
"Those hunters did well at creating a serum that actually works" Russell casually noted as he picked up Quinn.
Judy agreed "You didn't need to threaten her with the knife" she said as she crushed the syringe in her hand and through the remains into the fire place.
"I need her to know that we're more of a threat to her and them this time" They left out the front door and got in their car, the same Bentley they had from the time before.
…
"Quinn we're back!" Rachel called out as the she, Talwyn, Brittany, Santana, Puck and Tina piled in through the door. There was no reply and she noticed the abandoned laptop on the sofa, Rachel now stood at the bottom of the stairs "Quinn?" she ascended them and casually approached her bedroom "Quinn?" she asked again opening the door, the room was empty.
Rachel furrowed her brow and went back downstairs; Talwyn came out of the kitchen "She's not in there"
Puck returned from the basement "She's not down there either, and her stuff's still here"
"That's odd" Rachel said confused "She didn't say she was going anywhere" she paused for a moment "She's too far away for away for me to speak to her telepathically"
"I'm sure she's okay Rae, she probably went out for a jog or a fly or something" Brittany tried to reassure her
"Yeah, probably" she still hadn't un-furrowed her brow "I'm going to check in with home" she said grabbing the laptop from where Quinn had left it.
"I'll start a fire" Santana said, moving towards the fire place, the others settled around the room as Rachel opened the laptop.
"That's odd, it's still on and the battery is half drained, it was fully charged this morning…Quinn isn't that forgetful" Rachel voiced her thoughts
Santana lit the logs in the fireplace. In the light of the flames Santana noticed a fine dust on the stone base, after closer inspection she realised it was finely crushed glass and plastic. Then she noticed a needle she picked it up and turned to the rest of the group as Rachel connected with the other side via their personal webcam chat room system that Tina had been in charge of creating.
"Hey Sarah" Rachel looked at the screen and the state of the girl worried her.
"Oh thank God, you're online" Sarah gasped
Sarah looked battered and bruised "What's happened?"
"The castle was surprise attacked, by outcasts and those other super naturals who oppose us"
"Sarah you have a cut on your face" the rest of the people in the room gathered behind Rachel to see the other girl on screen
Sarah was also breathing heavily "They had weapons, like the vampire's weapons, half our army was wiped out"
"No!" Rachel cried out helplessly
"We fought them off, they're all dead but more could turn up. Our vampire army took minimal damage and few loses but the werewolves..." she shook her head and held back tears "The werewolf captain of the guard and general are both dead, the generals family perished too. The vampire leaders are alive."
Brittany put a hand over her mouth to supress a sob, she knew the generals children very well and was good friends with his wife.
"What about the other council members" Tina asked still in shock
"We're all bit battered, except Kurt and Blaine they're in the infirmary, they got hurt pretty bad but it looks like they're going to be okay. Kurt got in a sticky situation and Blaine jumped in to rescue him. The barracks are gone, they got burnt down and half the rest of the castle is heavily damaged"
"Okay, promote Arren to captain of the werewolf guard and Zola, promote her to general of the werewolf army. We're coming back"
"No, Rachel that won't do any good, what's done is done here now and we'll be ready if any more show up, besides we captured the leader before he was killed. He said it leads back to Lima, the head of this… it… he said…" she swallowed "Fabray's"
Rachel stood up abruptly throwing the laptop from her lap letting it fall to the floor "Quinn!"
Puck grabbed the laptop and Tina grabbed Rachel "Calm down Rachel, we don't know for sure"
"What else did he say sis?"
"A bunch of crap about history being fixed, that we need to die for it to be fixed, I'm not really sure what that means"
"I do" a panicked Rachel being held by Tina spoke up "Quinn's parents organised the last army to destroy us so Quinn could sit on the throne alone… they're back, Quinn was right to suggest necromancy when Mr Lester spoke to us"
"You really think it's a possibility" Puck asked Rachel nodded
Sarah spoke on the screen "They're not at the top of this then, whoever brought them back to life are"
"Rachel, I'm sure Quinn is fine, they couldn't have struck so quickly" Brittany tried to comfort everyone, hope barely hanging in her voice
"Erm, Rach? I found this in the fire place" Santana held out the needle
"What is it?" Sarah asked from the laptop
"It's a needle; I think it's from a syringe. There was glass and plastic in the fire place"
"A syringe, what for?"
"Perhaps a sedative, if the people we're up against can bring things back from the dead then they could probably come up with stuff that can affect us, they probably enchanted the weapons too. The only others who we know of who can do that; work at the base, and I doubt they betrayed us… I hope no one betrayed us" Santana hoped
"No, with the amount of security no one could betray us without us having found out in the process" Puck said confidently
"Guy's I'll speak to you later for updates but I have to get down to the infirmary and check some of the damage around the castle" Sarah brought their attention back to the laptop on the coffee table
"If you need the space; use our private quarters to accommodate as many as possible" Puck offered
"Of course, Good luck to all of you" she said sadly before signing off
"Okay Rachel what's the plan?" Santana turned but Rachel wasn't there "Rae?"
A few seconds later Rachel burst through the basement door, in her armour
"Rachel; where are you going?" Tina asked
"To find her" she stated simply
"We're coming with you" Santana stood moving towards the basement
"NO! I'm going by myself"
"Rachel you just can't go alone and be her hero every time, you need help, you don't even know what you're up against!" Puck started
"Mother" Talwyn, finally spoke up, getting her attention "Please let us go with you"
"Us? You think you're ready T?"
"If I wasn't ready, you wouldn't have brought me here" she said confidently
Rachel smiled and nodded "Get ready" the others looked at her hopeful "Go and get changed!"
"What about Sam and Mercedes?" Brittany asked
"I don't want to leave it any longer, she could be in real danger… come on let's move guys" they hurried downstairs and Rachel pulled Talwyn upstairs. She pulled a chest similar to her own, out from the walk-in-wardrobe "We had this made for you shortly before you're birthday… we had both types made; werewolf and vampire because we didn't know what you'd be" she pulled out another box of similar size but flatter and a longer wooden case "You were training with mum with these types of weapons I believe" she gave a weak smile
Talwyn opened all the boxes, the first contained armour similar to her mum's complete with helmet, they chose to wear their standard armour, not the armour with the gold detailing because it made them stand out as the more important members of the group.
The second box contained a shiny shield with the latest emblem that represented the group, It was a wolf head (same as the tattoos the wolf elder council members all had) placed over a circular pattern that was apparently an ancient vampire symbol (the one the vampire elder council had as a tattoo)
The third box contained a standard sized sword; it was a similar design to Quinn's short swords and Sam's claymore, as if all 4 swords could be part of a set.
"Here I'll help you get ready… if you want" Rachel added hesitantly
"I'm definitely going to need some help" she tried to say playfully as possible but the situation dampened the mood
"Okay we'll start with thin clothes underneath…"
…
Just 8 minutes later and they were assembled down stairs, Rachel was helping Talwyn ensure her armour was securely on; she then gently put the helmet on her daughters head proudly
"If at any point I tell you to stay, or stop, you do it. Got that?"
"Yes"
"I don't want to put you in immediate danger and I don't want you disobeying me because you're a rebellious teenager and that's what rebellious teenagers do" she gave a weak smile
"I'll do my best"
"I know you will" she kissed the bare part of her daughter's fore head "As for the rest of you… the same thing goes, if at any point I give you a halt command I expect you to obey, whether I'm at risk or no… Got that?"
They all agreed reluctantly
"Okay then, let's go"
Soooo... What dya think?
