Quinn groaned, as she woke up. She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling as she remembered what had happened in the prior hours. She stretched on her bed, before sitting up. She almost screamed when she saw Rachel standing at her desk chair, reading a book.

Rachel looked up. She gave Quinn a smile and placed the book down.

"How are you feeling?" Rachel asked, her eyes on Quinn.

Quinn shrugged. "I could be better."

Rachel nodded her head. She stared at Quinn, who stared back.

"There is something you need to know," Rachel said, standing up.

"It was October, 1655 when I got really sick. My mother prayed that I would be okay. Medicine was scarce. She wished for me to get better, but many people had already died. There was no hope, when a vampire walked into my home and told my mother that she could save me, but told her that she may never see me again. My mother wanted me to live my life, so she said yes," Brittany told the other vampires.

"Did you ever see your mother again?" Ally asked, a small frown on her face.

"Once I was in control of my urges, I went to visit my family one last time, to say goodbye."

"Who was the vampire?" Shawn asked, sitting forward.

"Her name was Dani. She helped me control myself before letting go my own way."

"Where is she now?" Marley asked, her eyes wide with wonder. Shawn leaned over and kissed her temple.

"She is living with her mate. I don't know who it is, but I've seen her in passing, but she'd always be alone," Brittany answered.

Quinn stormed into the living room, freezing when she saw the group of people sitting there. Her eyes went to Santana and Brittany.

"Rachel is my mate," Quinn said, a frown on her face.

Santana nodded her head. "Yes."

Quinn ran her hand through her hair. She sighed. "How is this fair?"

"What?"

"I'm human. I age. Rachel is my mate. If I don't change, she'll watch me grow old and die," Quinn told them, glaring at the ground.

"You don't have to change," Rachel said, her voice a whisper.

"It's not fair to you. You've waited over four hundred years for me," Quinn said, her eyes on Rachel.

Santana watched Rachel turn to her. "It's not the first time I lost my mate."

"What are you talking about?" Ally asked, frowning.

"Have you guys heard of the Mate's Blessing?" Rachel asked, waiting until she saw the head shakes, "Sometimes, if a vampire's mate dies, they can be reborn."

"So if Quinn dies of old age, she'll come back?" Hailee questioned, looking to the human in the room.

Rachel shook her head, as she looked to Quinn. "The mate has to be human, and the way they died have to supernatural based."

"You lost your mate, supernaturally based?"

Rachel nodded her head.

"Quinn, you've been reborn multiple times, and each time, Jesse has killed you."

"You kidnapped me to keep me locked up," Biff whined, as he watched Jesse look over his plans.

"Will you shut up?" Jesse asked, glaring at the reflection.

Biff held his hands up. "I'm just asking."

"I should have just taken Marley, she would have been easier to control," Jesse muttered, glaring at the other vampire. "We have weeks."

"A week for what?"

"To kill Quinn again."

Glee

"You've been reborn at least ten times. And each time, Jesse has been the reason you died."

"The best friend you killed when you change," Marley whispered, her eyes shifting from a frozen, pale Quinn, to a sad, still Rachel.

"The first Quinn. You had another name back then, but it was you. You've all been different, but you always had hazel eyes," Rachel whispered, looking at Quinn.

"How did we not know of this? We've been with you for years," Sam interjected for the first time, a frown on his face.

"I'm good at keeping secrets. You guys were dealing with your own problems, controlling your thirst, looking for your mates. I didn't bother you and you didn't bother me. You guys have met the other versions of Quinn, you just didn't know it was her. As I said, they all looked different."

The six other vampires sat in silence as they tried to process that.

Quinn got Rachel's attention. "What has he done to me?"

"The first time, he cut you and left me to feed off you. The second time, we stood at a cliffside and he held you. When I tried to get to you, he slit your throat and let you fall off it. The third time, he drank all your blood. The fourth time," Rachel stopped, staring at the ground.

"Don't do this! Please," Rachel begged, looking at a tied up "Quinn" and Jesse.

Quinn was drenched in gasoline, her eyes closed.

"Please," Rachel whispered.

"As long as she's alive, she'll always have your heart," Jesse said, turning the match on and dropping it.

Rachel tried to run to save Quinn, but Jesse grabbed her and held her.

"The fourth time he held me back while I watched you burn," Rachel whispered, a devastated look on her face.

Quinn looked like she was going to be sick.

"I can stop," Rachel whispered, only looking at Quinn.

The human shook her head. "No, I need to hear this."

"He drained you the fifth and sixth time, saying you tasted so sweet. The seventh time, the seventh time he made me kill you again."

Rachel felt his breath on his face. He looked into her eyes. "You want blood."

Rachel's eyes dilated. "I want blood."

"Not just any blood, you want her blood."

"I want her blood," Rachel whispered back, her eyes turning to Quinn.

"Make it hurt."

"I'll make it hurt."

Rachel walked to Quinn and stood in front of her. The human looked scared. Rachel leaned forward and kiss Quinn's neck. When the other girl relaxed, Rachel went in for the bite.

Quinn froze, while Rachel drained her. It didn't hurt, but then she gasped, when Rachel used her vampire strength to drive her hand into Quinn's abdominal.

"You died in my arms. The seventh time, the seventh time, she, the seventh time he snapped your neck when you told me you loved me."

"I-" Quinn shook her head, leaving the house. She walked out to the backyard. Rachel followed her. She saw Quinn sit on the steps.

"Quinn?"

"I'm sorry, it's hard hearing that I've died multiple times," Quinn whispered, staring at the ground.

"I know," Rachel responded, sitting next to Quinn.

They sat in silence for a few seconds. "What was the eight time?"

Rachel stared at the ground.

"You have five minutes before she runs out of breath," Jesse said, grinning.

"Damn it, why can't you just leave us alone?" Rachel snapped, glaring at her sire.

Jesse's smile was wiped off his face. "Because I love you, and if you love someone, you fight for them. And I'll fight your mate every time."

"It's not fair, she's not a vampire, this isn't fair!"

Jesse stared at Rachel for a second, before looking down. "You have four minutes."

"Jesse, don't do this, please!"

"Time is ticking Rachel. She's going to die."

"He didn't outright kill me?"

"He buried you, he killed you. I found your body minutes after your heart stopped. It had been too late."

"He's obsessed with you, that's why he keeps doing it. His sire messed him up, giving him a twisted look on love," Quinn whispered. "What's the ninth?"

"He poisoned you and I had to watch you die slowly, and painfully."

"I dream about these things sometimes," Quinn told her, looking up at Rachel. "I remember waking up like I was drowning. I couldn't breath. I think I remember these."

"I tried to protect you. I thought if I didn't talk to you like I did the others, maybe he'd leave you alone. But he always went after you, and you kept having asthma attacks because I would reject the mating call."

"But you stopped?"

"Because staying away wasn't helping you or me. It was hurting us."

"I don't want to be a vampire," Quinn told her, wrapping her arms around herself.

"I know. And it's okay. All of us are going to do what we can to make sure you live a long life."

"If I do, then you'll be alone forever," Quinn said.

"I know."

"I wish you never told me."

"Quinn" giggled as she wrapped her arms around Rachel. The older girl kissed her lips. "I love you."

"And I love you. Our stars have aligned."

"This is not normal," Quinn told her love.

"Since when did we do normal?"

"Do you believe in fate?"

"I believe that we are destined to be together. If we lost each other, we would find each other again," Rachel said, a grin on her face.

"I only want you. I want no one else."

"And I only want you."

Quinn kept her arms around Rachel. "This is the best feeling."

Rachel pushed herself against Quinn and closed her eyes. "It is."

Quinn closed her own eyes and followed Rachel to sleep.

"We have about two weeks before Jesse does anything," Rachel told the group of vampires and Quinn.

"Two week? How do you know?"

Rachel looked at Quinn as she answered. "With the exception of the first time, Quinn always dies on February first, the day before her seventeenth birthday."

"I'm sixteen," Quinn whispered, her face turning green, "my birthday is in two weeks."

"Quinn?"

The girl in question shot up and ran to the closest trash can, throwing up.

Brittany shot up and ran to her daughter, running her hand on the girl's back.

Rachel turned to the others. "Jesse has a plan, he always does. We have to be ready for anything."

Glee

"What are you thinking?" Brittany asked Santana, who had been watching Quinn sleep.

"Fate. Why we came here of all places. Why did we come here at this time, just to get mixed up in all this. If we had moved to another place, Quinn wouldn't be in danger. Do you think this is our fault?"

Brittany wrapped her arms around Santana. "No, this is Jesse's fault. He is the one who wants to hurt Quinn. He is the one who kills her every time."

"Do you think he had anything to do with Quinn's birth parent's deaths?"

"I don't know. We don't know what caused the crash. But right now, we have to worry about Quinn and keeping her safe. We have to find a way to stop Jesse."

"He has Biff on his side."

"And Quinn has Rachel, she has Marley, Finn, Mercedes, Sam, Puck, Kitty. She has us. Jesse isn't going to win this time."

"It's happened before. And Quinn has never survived it."

Brittany gently pushed Santana against the wall and looked into her eyes. "The difference between all the other times and this one, is that you and I are here to protect Quinn. Rachel told someone about what happened. All those other times, she kept it a secret, and it always backfired. This time we are ready. This time Rachel isn't alone."

"We're going to beat him," Santana whispered, a smile appearing on her face.

"We are going to beat him. And we are going to make him pay. Because Quinn is our daughter, and no one hurts her."

"No one hurts our baby girl."

A Week Later

"Everyone now knows," Jesse commented, grinning.

"Why don't you ever give up?" Rachel asked, shaking in anger.

Jesse laughed. "You know, I can do the unexpected and kill Quinn now, when no one is ready."

"Why don't you?" Rachel asked, glaring.

The older vampire shrugged. "I don't want to break tradition."

Rachel scoffed. "You're disgusting."

Jesse grinned. "And you're really mean. I want to play a little game right now."

Rachel frowned, and before she knew it, Jesse has her pressed against a tree, his hand around her throat.

"I'm still older. I can still compel you," he whispered, laughing when Rachel struggled against him. He looked into her eyes. "You're going to tell Quinn the truth about who made her forget about Biff. And you're going to tell her what really happened to her parents."

Jesse released Rachel and watched her.

"I'm going to tell Quinn who made her forget about Biff and the truth about her parents."

Jesse grinned, as Rachel disappeared.

"This is going to be fun."
