Santana's POV
"Are you feeling better?" He asked as I let my face fall, staring at my legs. "You want me to remove the blanket from around your body?" I remained silent; I don't need to waste energy trying to talk to him. I was already weak; I don't need his pity. I'm still tied to the chair with these gloves on my hands. My wrist is sore and I can honestly say not being able to use your hands is horrible, especially when you need to scratch, or when you want to wipe your tears away. Every time they let me use the restroom, I stretch my hands inside the gloves as best I can. But as soon as I finish the gloves attach themselves again to the armrest of the chair.
It has been a while now. I think I've sat in this dark room for three days now. I've noticed this because he's not in here all the time. His stupid bodyguards or whoever they are staying here watching me. This is the third time he's talked to me, so I've figured it was already the third day I'd been in this horrible place.
"I think your girlfriend is playing with your emotions, or with her elements. At first, she got you almost killed. However, I do not blame her; you were ripped away from her. Now look at you," He said walking closer to me. "You are not cold anymore, and you are looking beautiful kiddo." He removed a strand of hair that was covering my face and as soon as I felt his touch, I shook my head back. "Ah Santana, you're not going to talk today either?"
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. The door of the room opened and someone tall entered. I moved my head to the left slyly and saw his figure walking towards us. He has my necklace around his fingers and a blue bracelet on his wrist. I'm so done with these fuckers, being part of this clan, no way in hell. My heart beat a little faster when I noticed my necklace was not shining. Is Quinn okay? Something was wrong and I'm sure he's delivering the bad news.
"Mr. Lopez," He started with a shaky voice. "I think you should see this."
He walked closer to the tall guy and snatched my necklace from his fingers. I couldn't see the guy's face, but something was familiar about his tall skinny body. "When did this happen?" He said inspecting my necklace.
"I… Mr. Lopez, I think it happened three days ago." The boy said.
"Why the hell are you telling me this now Axel?" Axel?
I took a deep breath and shook my head. "You fucking traitor! Quinn trusted you! How dare you help him?"
Axel turned and looked at me with a smile on his face. "Nice to see you again, Santana."
"Fuck you! I swear when I get out of this, I'm going to freeze your shitty ass!" I yelled and he laughed.
"That will not be good." He replied shaking his head.
"So my daughter can speak now?"
"Don't call me like that." I snapped and he started walking closer to me.
"That's what you are Tana."
"Unfortunately."
"Whoa, Axel, this bond with her mates is really strong. Look at her defending her like she's the best thing in the world." I shook myself on the chair and moved my arms, trying to release myself with every ounce of strength I had left. I failed miserably and stayed calm, I couldn't wait to get out of here and kick my own father's ass.
"She's more than you'll ever be." My voice cracked but I managed to sound strong at the same time.
"Well, excuse me." He said mocking my voice. "Do you know why your necklace isn't shining?" I stared at him and then he smiled. "You don't know. What kind of girlfriend are you?" He grabbed a chair and pulled it in front of me. "Axel, can you please block her spells?"
Axel walked closer to me with a blue orb on his hands. He smiled and threw the ball towards me. I closed my eyes and the blue sphere vanished as soon it touched my skin.
"I am going to remove your left glove, okay." He said and I just stared at my hand. "I need to see if it's true, I need to see why your necklace isn't shining."
He removed the string that was wrapped around my wrist and then untied the glove from the chair. He slowly removed the heavy gray glove from my left hand. I quickly closed my first and punched him in the face with all the strength I had left. A blue sparkle hit me and I couldn't move my hand anymore.
"Mr. Lopez, are you okay?" Axel said and he just nodded. He spit blood on the floor and smiled at me.
"I guess I deserved that." He licked his lips that were now drenched in the red substance, fixed his shirt and tie and thanked Axel for immobilizing my hand. "Now, can you open your hand?"
I chuckled at his question and closed my first harder. My knuckles were white but I was glad the glove was not around my hand. I was enjoying making his life harder. He looked at Axel and another blue spark left his fingers opening my hand. I struggled a little but at the end, my hand stretched open. Axel moved his fingers and the palm of my hand was left visible.
"Sir, what should we do now?" Axel said and I quickly looked at my hand. I could see white dots running back and forth on my index, middle and ring fingers. I'm not sure why this was happening, but I hope it meant something good for us and thus something bad for them.
"There's nothing we can do." He said shaking his head. "We have to wait for her new power."
Power? Quinn is getting a new power? So this is how it looks like when you're about to get a new power... I smiled and they both looked at me with a weird expression.
"Take that grin off your face." He said. "You didn't know this? That your mate has only two powers?"
I knew about her two powers, and I know she's supposed to have three, but I'd never seen the process.
"Yes Santana, your girlfriend is getting a new power." He said shaking his head. "What a decent time to get it, right?" I could sense the sarcasm in his voice.
"When is she getting it?" I said, even though I didn't want to talk to him, I wanted to know when Quinn was getting a new power.
"You really don't know anything about this?" He laughed. "Well darling, you're getting her power as well. It's almost complete, once the dots run to your pinky. It's about a few seconds before they move to your thumb and then to the palm of your hand."
"How do you know all of this?" I asked shaking my head. I was so mad at him for doing this to me, doing this to us. I just wanted to punch him again.
"I've watched Faunxes since you were a little girl. I've seen this process several times. Anyway, it was time for your girlfriend to get her new power already." I remained silent and he resumed his speaking. "Why didn't you ever tell me Santana?" His voice was low and if he wasn't a shameless monster, I could almost say he cared.
"Tell you what?" He grabbed my necklace and caressed the star and the sparkled half-moon.
"That you like girls." His voice was low again and he turned his head quickly to the side to look at Axel and moved his left hand so he could dismiss him. Axel, placed the glove back in my hand and undid the spell. Afterwards Axel followed his instructions and left the room. "I thought we could have any type of conversation."
"Well, you thought wrong. You were never there. How could you expect me to have any type of conversation with you?"
"You are wrong. I always took care of you." He smiled. "I have to admit that I took extra care of you when the Fabrays moved to Ohio and I noticed they were Faunxes." He said placing my necklace around his neck. "I was there, watching when you took that basket to their house. I saw how Quinn's little hand started to shine as soon as she looked straight into your eyes. Then all my questions about you were answered.
"I always noticed the pain in Quinn's eyes when you were with Brittany. I was there waiting, waiting for the right moment. Waiting for you to tell me… you liked girls.
"I was there when you saw Brittany with Sam, I was there when Quinn came back from France, I was there when the blackout happened. It was confusing for me to understand why there were two Quinns. I thought the division of bodies was something Quinn could never handle." He said scratching his head. "However, it took me a few minutes to figure everything out. In addition, I was intrigued. I was almost sure you couldn't fall in love with the two girls.
"I have to admit it was a surprise for all of us, when Quinn's family didn't detect us. Because Faunxes normally have a tracker you know, they have it in their basements. But because you are my daughter, and you are a mate, the tracker didn't work."
I looked at him and asked him to explain better what he was saying. Maybe I hadn't understood well what he had just said. It all seemed like too much information.
"When you were a kid you used to sneak in the family room so you could watch horror movies, remember that? Well, all of our family is in this business. Killing Faunxes, of course. This is what we do. These demonic possessions things are normal for us. You grew up being vulnerable to all weird and supernatural things.
"The day we were going to baptize you into this your mother came home early from New York and we couldn't do it. We waited for the full moon the next month and we initialized you. For some reason your process was never completed."
"Thank God." I breathed out.
He laughed loud and then stared at me. "Yeah, Santana, thank God. I understood everything when I noticed the way Quinn looked at you. Her eyes revealed every inquiry I had, everything you weren't able to see. She wanted to protect you all the time, like you were something she needed… someone she always needed around." Fuck, how the hell did he noticed all this shit while I was completely clueless?
"We are doing this because this is not normal." He said, snapping me away from my thoughts. "Faunxes are not normal. There's no such thing as magic and wizards. God created humans, not freaks. If we find a vampire or a werewolf we kill them too." I frowned at the thought of vampires and werewolves. Now I know everything's possible, and well a few months ago I didn't have any magic. "We killed them because we are doing the right thing. We are keeping this world safe from those demonic things. Making a better future."
"What did they do to you?" I snapped and he removed my necklace from his neck. "You can't kill people because you don't like their lifestyle, they were born like this, and you can't tear two people who are in love just because you think you're making a better future."
"They did it once."
"What are you talking about?"
"One of your girlfriend's kind killed my first wife." I couldn't believe what I was hearing… He had been married before? Then again I didn't know anything about him. "Ever since, I swore I was going to avenge her death, even if it took me a life time."
"So all of this is because they killed your wife? What a shocker! She must have deserved this, I mean she was probably trying to kill a Faunx, and they of course defended themselves. That's what I would do."
"Whoa, you impress me Santana. You think as a Faunx, You speak as a Faunx, Congratulations!"
"Apparently, you don't know shit about Faunxes. Moreover, I can't understand the hate towards them, I mean you can try to revenge your dead wife, but what's left of the other one? If I was gonna to bet on something, I'd say you're jealous of them. Jealous of what we are and jealous of this huge bond we have with our mate. Just because you can't understand something; doesn't mean it's wrong."
"Maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong. Either way that's why we take their sparkles off their bodies, so they can't feel their mate's feelings anymore. So they can be normal like us."
"Who wants to be normal these days?"
"Many people Santana. We are doing them a favor."
I took a deep breath and raised my head a little. "How do you kill them?" I asked. My voice shaky, I could feel a knot tying in my stomach. I was tired of his shit, but I needed to know if he tried to kill one of our Family.
"We normally cut off their hands, or remove their sparkle." He talked about this as if he was explaining something normal, like if he were used to all of this. Allegedly, he is used to all of this. "They die instantly, if we cut off their hands, they bleed to death. And if we remove their sparkle they forget about the bond they had with their mate. They become humans, with normal feelings, they're not in love anymore. Eventually their mates die, in about," He stretched his hands so he could count using his fingers. "Two weeks? Yeah, two weeks."
A tear rolled down my cheek. "Why did you kidnap me instead of Quinn? Why would you want to kill her?" Tears were rolling down my cheeks while he did nothing but stare into my eyes. "Why can't you let us be happy if you admit to seeing everything? You know how much she loves me. Why can't we be happy?"
"You are my daughter Santana, and I want the best for you. I always have."
"Kidnapping me is not the best for anyone. You can't do these things if you really care about me."
"I had to; I wasn't planning to do this to you, until that day when Charlie knocked on our door. Quinn is powerful, more powerful than any Faunx I've ever met and killed. She has something special and I can't figure out what just yet. We couldn't start you to the clan because she was your mate. It was your destiny to be with her; nevertheless, destiny can be changed. I needed answers and this was the best way. I need to know why Quinn is so special... I just want to know why her light sparkle means so much."
"Are you going to kill me?"
"Of course not. I just want to remove your sparkle so we can live together as a family. You'll forget about her and she will die."
"That will never happen. She won't let anything like this happen. And I'm sure I'll never forget her, even if you remove my sparkle."
"Oh, come on Tana, I've seen this so many times. There's no reason for you to try and convince me that you'll still love her after I remove your spark." He stood from the chair; pulled a napkin from his pants and cleaned the corner of his mouth that was still red because of the punch. "That was a great punch, you are stronger-
He stopped himself from speaking. What is going on? I knew him enough to know that every time he interrupted himself he needed a moment to think. He goes into a deep thought world and doesn't like to be bothered until it's done. I however could care less and proceeded to talk to him. Asking him what was happening.
He walked to a desk on the corner of the room and pulled out a gold translucent rock. I had never seen it before, but it had so many sparkles running inside the round crystal material. He pressed it tight in his hand and smiled at me.
"I need to hurry." He said and I stared at him. What was next? "Or it will be too late." I looked at my hand and a bright white light emerged from my left glove. The light covered the room and he ran towards me. I can see how nervous he was. "Fuck!"
"What's going on? Is her power complete?" I said with a smile on my face. "Our power is complete?"
He stood in front of me for a moment, processing everything I was saying to him. After a while, he ran his hand over his hair and nodded. "Yeah Tana, you have a new power already."
"What is it?" I asked, smiling deviously.
"I am not going to try and figure it out. I will not remove the gloves. They are close and you-"
"What?" I said instantly. Who is close? Is Quinn close? "Holly fuck, it's true, they are close, Quinn is close, my chest… I…" I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. The pressure in my chest wasn't prominent anymore. My muscles ached a little, because all the pressure I'd been putting on them. Nevertheless, he was right. I felt stronger and I could almost feel the blood flowing perfectly through my entire body. "You knew they were close right?" I asked. "You knew they were close when you stopped yourself from talking, you knew I was stronger." I relaxed my muscles and stopped feeling weak. I'd been talking for a while now and after I punched him, there was no way I could feel this strong, unless she was close that was.
"I think I got distracted a little because of our talk." He said sitting again on the chair in front of me.
"You know you have no chance with them. I can feel her close, and I know she's not going to be happy about this. You have no chance of winning, father."
"Do you think we don't know how to protect ourselves? We do have powers."
"Says the one who gave me a speech about being normal and not freaks?" I replied harshly.
"Well, every time we kill a Faunx we get their first power. We use that power along with the stone to convert it, to make it natural and not demonic like your girlfriend."
"You're a fucking psycho. You give me this speech about freaks and you use their own powers to kill Faunxes? You're a hypocrite!"
"The powers don't last much, just four days. But it's the best for all of us. We can kill them, give em' a taste of their own medicine."
"Are you really thinking you can beat my family?"
"Santana, I am your family!"
"You're just a piece of shit."
I bit my lips when I saw his hand lunging towards me. He slapped me hard, so hard I could easily bet I had his fingers marked on my right cheek. I could feel the burn in my face, my chest felt numb again and another white spark escaped from it. My heart beat fast and my hands didn't feel too sore anymore.
"You're not getting it, are you? Hit me again, please do so my girlfriend feels this and finds me faster."
He looked at his hands and placed the mineral in front of my chest. I could see many colors running inside the stone. But for some reason they weren't shiny and happy as they looked in the wall. They were almost colorless and their movements were slow. The colors weren't synchronized with their mates, they weren't shining and dancing with each other, they were… dead.
"Are those dead Faunxes?" I asked and he just smiled.
He moved the rock forward and placed it in front of me. "Dead sparkles, darling." He corrected me. "Now listen to me, everything will be alright, you are going to wake up in an hour and everything will be alright."
"No! Stop!" He was placing the stone closer to my chest. As soon the stone touched my body, I couldn't move or breathe. The stone was absorbing all my white sparkle and I knew there was no way back, this was the end. My chest pained me horribly and I wasn't sure if I could handle it anymore. My eyes felt numb and heavy. I watched how he rolled the stone towards my left arm. The minerals passed my shoulders, biceps, forearm and he stopped it on my wrist.
The glove was bright white and I could only see how the sparkle vanished from my body. I close my eyes and hoped Alexandre or Louise could hear what I had to say, if they're really looking for me. I finished whispering and my eyes couldn't resist the pain anymore. I gave in, and fell asleep.
Quinn's POV
My boots splashed with the water from the river I was running in. The water was on top of my ankles and I tried to keep a steady pace, my family was behind me. I wanted to run; I tried to run as fast as I could. The small river was situated in between two big mushy rocks about twenty feet tall. I could hear the echo of all of us running, hitting the rocky walls. There was less splashing of water coming from my family, I could hear them stopping. I just kept running, trying not to fall on the unstable surface.
I looked to my right while I kept running and saw the panther running next to me. She growled and I smile back at her. I was first able to walk and move about three hours ago. I know Santana's close to us. I just need to keep running where my heart tells me. I'm guiding my family and I'm going to find her.
Eagles were flying over me. The rest of the animals were running on top of these big rocks. I feel protected. I quickly jumped into a tree that fell across the small body of water. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I could feel myself falling. Before my body touched the water, in less than a second, I moved my fingers, the water moved to the side, and I fell to the rocky ground.
Are you okay?" I could hear Frannie saying from behind me.
"Yes!" I said. My heart was beating fast and I was closer to Santana, I could feel it. "Alexandre, Louise can you hear something?" If I feel this strongly, I'm sure we're close to her.
They stood there for a minute and then shook their heads. I looked at Dad who was out of breath sitting on a rock; my Aunt and her mate were standing next to each other while Peter and Kyle stood on top of the tree I had jumped. I turned my head to the side and looked at the panther, she growled and then she looked at Frannie and Lucas who were just listening to the animals.
"Quinn," Frannie turned with a smile. "Look at your hand." I watched how the dots moved to my pinky. A smile appeared on my face instantly. The dots a grouped themselves in my palm. I had to admit I was excited to know what kind of power I was going to inherit.
The bright sun wasn't shining anymore, I looked at the sky, and it was almost dark now. It was noon a few minutes ago, now everything was dark. I had the green sphere with San's words on my left hand. I looked at my left hand and then back again at my right hand. My hand opened itself and a bright translucent sphere was falling from the sky. We all looked up to see what it was. The sphere was like a bright lantern in the dark sky. I looked up and opened my hand. I can't wait to see what kind of power I was acquiring.
The sphere stopped at the palm of my hand and started to spin only a few inches away from my skin.
"What are you waiting Quinn, grab the orb." Frannie said with a smile on her face.
I slowly close my hand, the sphere was spinning slowly, in seconds, my fist was closed, and the sphere entered my skin. When I opened my hand, the light moved towards my thumb and my green bracelet started to shine.
I took a step towards Frannie and she grabbed my hand in hers. "Now what?" I said.
Lucas walked closer to me. "Move your fingers Quinn."
I left my hand open in front of my face and moved my index and middle finger. I looked at my hand and nothing happened. I closed my eyes and looked at the panther in front of me. 'You like the new power?' She said… What?
"Did you just?" I said.
'Frannie, your sister received a special power.'
I looked at the panther and then at Frannie. "Can you understand what she's saying?" Frann said and I nodded. For some reason I could understand the panther. I scratched my forehead and my fingers electrocuted me slightly.
I looked at my hand dumbfounded. There was electricity around my fingers. I moved my head to the right and noticed Frannie's smile.
"Well, I think you can copy our powers." She said clapping.
I turned and when I looked at Alexandre and Louise, I instantly fell to the rocky ground. I brought my hands to my ears so I could cover them. There were too many sounds around me at the same time.
I can hear the water, the air, the leaves falling from the trees, the animals running and eating, I can even hear my heartbeat and my family's. I covered my ears harder and tried to focus hard so I could block the noise away. Fuck! I removed my hands from my ears as soon as I could hear my surroundings normally again.
"Quinn? We can't see you." Alexandre said.
I put my hands in front of me and smiled when I realized. I was invisible. I quickly moved my fingers and appeared back in front of my family.
"If I'm correct you're copying our powers. Mimicry, I think is the correct term to describe your new power. Ability to copy or absorb powers or skills."
I collapsed and he smiled at me. I couldn't believe this. This makes me have more powers than Louise and even Alexandre. "Is this possible?" I asked him.
"I haven't met a Faunx with this power, but yes Quinn, it's possible."
I took a deep breath and moved my fingers. In seconds, the black sky was back to its normal orange color.
"Do I have to look at you to get your powers?"
"I don't think so Quinn," Alexandre said. "Just focus on which power you want to copy."
"How close do I need to be to get the power?" I asked again.
"No idea. I guess we'll figure it out."
I closed my hand and smiled. "Okay, let's get my mate."
I ran, my bracelet shining bright on my wrist. I had to admit I was utterly pleased with my powers. I can almost do anything now. Suddenly the smile I had on my face vanished, I felt a huge pound on my chest. I looked back and noticed all of our family felt it too.
"Something is not right." Alexandre said.
I looked at him and noticed that he and Louise were focused on their hearing power, so I moved my fingers and in seconds I was listening exactly what they were hearing. We were a mile closer from where I received my last power. My heart's telling me she's closer but the pain in my chest is telling me otherwise.
Suddenly, I heard San's voice in a whisper. "Tell her that she will always be my galaxy."
My heart was beating faster than ever. I collapsed on the floor and instantly Louise arms were wrapped around my body. I've never heard her voice like this. She's different, like if something dreadful had happened to her.
A bright green light escaped my chest, blocking every inch of the small river we were running on top of. The tall rocks were greener. I felt the water running through my hands, and when my eyes adjusted to the clarity, I saw a pair of boots that matched mine in front of me. Same skinny black jeans and same jacket. I smiled at the same but obviously different smile I saw on her, a smirk and a quirked eyebrow. Her hair was messy and shorter than mine was. She knelt in front of me and dried a tear I didn't know was there.
"I missed you, Quinn. I missed seeing your face." Charlie pulled me in for a warm hug and I cried on her shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her and melted in my safety. If that makes any sense.
"I missed you more Charlie." I pulled back and she was smiling at me.
"Let's get our girl okay?" Charlie said standing up, pulling my hand and helping me stand along with her.
I looked back at our family and they were smiling. Dad walked next to us and hugged Charlie. After a few seconds he teletransported back home to get her bracelet from Mom.
Charlie walked closer to Frann and gave her a hug. "Three days." She said and Frann wiped her tears.
"I'm glad to see you Sis, I don't like the situation we're in, but I missed you."
"I think you'll be able to survive this battle now. I mean, we all know you weren't going to make it." Charlie said and Frann punched her in the arm.
"Well I was missing this, and if you keep talking nonsense you'll have no arm to battle the clan."
"Be quiet Frannie, I can electrocute you now." Charlie wiggled her eyebrows and Dad's black smoke appeared in front of us with an orange bracelet shining brightly in his hand.
"Welcome back my daughter." He said locking the bracelet on her wrist. "Now let's get my other daughter."
We started running again and my heart was beating faster. I looked over at Charlie and smiled. I really missed her.
I stopped abruptly and Charlie stopped running too. We looked at each other's and instead of running to the right we changed directions on the river and headed left. After a few more minutes the river road was over and we started walking deep into the forest.
Peter and Kyle were on top of the trees and the panther and the animals were running along with us. I stopped myself in front of a small wooden bridge and Charlie walked towards me out of breath.
"Can you feel this?" She said touching her chest. I nodded and she caressed my bracelet. "She's there. Right after the bridge." I looked down and noticed the pit below us.
The bridge was simple but dangerous. There were ropes tied to the side of the bridge on the rocks. The wood that worked as a floor needed to be replaced and I'm positive it's not safe to walk in. There was no chance in hell they could cross that bridge.
I saw how a black sparkle flew on top of my head and hit a barrier at the end of the bridge. The barrier vanished and Alexandre showed himself on the other side.
"Quinn, Charlie take the mates and turn invisible and walk on the bridge. The rest of us can just teletransport here." We did as Alexandre said and in seconds, all of us were on the other side.
"Axel they're here." I heard a few meters away and saw a blue sparkle coming after Charlie.
"Be careful!" I yelled and Charlie blocked his spell with a swift move of her fingers.
"Nice Charlie."Frann said throwing her red sparkle between us. "Now ladies, it's not the time to," She threw another red spark and smiled. "Be careful, I love you all."
Frannie ran inside the forest and Lucas followed her with his hands charged with electricity. I wasn't sure when the fighting had started, but I looked to my right and saw Dad fighting with a tall guy. Louise was fighting with a girl in a hoodie and Alexandre was nowhere to be found. Peter and Kyle were on the trees avoiding whatever they were throwing at them.
I looked at Charlie and noticed the big house in the middle of the forest.
"You are late." I heard a voice and when I looked back, it was Axel standing there with a blue sphere in his hands, ready to attack.
Charlie reacted quickly, there were two balls of orange spark on her hand and almost instantly Axel was on the floor. "How could you betray us?"
He moved his hands and Charlie stopped them instantly. "I guess you are Charlie." He said trying to stand up.
"I guess you are a dead guy." Charlie formed her three –ball spark and I held her hand stopping her.
"You know that spell is to, to kill him Charlie?" I said and she nodded and turned furiously at him. She dropped the balls to the ground and straddled him.
"I thought you were gay." Axel said nonchalantly and Charlie punched him in the face. He growled and she punched him repeatedly.
I tried to stop Charlie but she was focused on him. A few seconds later I felt something hit my shoulder, I can feel blood running inside my jacket sleeve. I turned around and saw a girl smiling at me. She raised her hand and threw me one of their spells. I grabbed her ball and bumped it back to her. She quickly jumped and I missed it. This pissed me off. I turned around to focus on Louise. I placed a hand on top of my shoulder, and healed my arm.
This power is definitely going to be my favorite. Another sparkle flew next to me and I turned to look at Charlie. She was cleaning her hands with leafs from a tree. Her knuckles are covered in blood and she has an angry face.
A ball of fire landed next to us, exploding and taking us to the ground. I couldn't hear anything because of the explosion. A few rocks scratched my face and when I opened my eyes, all I could see was fire in front of us.
My ears still hurt and the white noise was prominent. I felt dizzy and weak. I looked at my leg and noticed my pants were on fire. Moving my fingers, I grabbed the fire from my leg and held it in my hand creating a ball.
Everything around me was moving is slow motion. Elise was fighting with a huge muscular guy; Julie was behind her with one of the clan in between her legs. Sparkles were running over the air, I avoided a few and ran towards a tree and rested my back, taking a deep breath.
Charlie ran towards me and blocked a gold spark that came my way. "Fucking bastard." I ran towards Flich and blocked another of his gold sparks. I looked at my right and Alexandre was now behind a guy, Louise was moving her hands in a corner and Lucas' forehead was healed of bleeding.
Charlie was next to me and she threw Flich a spell. He fell on the floor but stood up quickly. I wanted to hit him so bad. I hate him because he took my mate. He was going to pay for this.
He threw an electric sparkle and I created a ball of water and with Charlie's help we controlled the air and sent the spell back at him. He yelled and fell on the floor on his knees. Shaking his body with electricity.
'This is one is mine.'
The panther said jumping from above us and falling on top of Flich.
I grabbed Charlie's arm and pulled her inside the house. "Let's go, he's dead." When I opened the door with my sparkle in hand I noticed Frannie and Lucas there, fighting. Lucas was on the floor and a guy was hitting his body. Lucas punched him back and electrocuted him. The struggled for a moment and then he punched Lucas in the face.
Charlie walked towards him with a big orange spell, the guy was immobile on the floor. "Hey asshole, I still need to have a fight with my sister's mate, so fuck off."
Frannie on the other side of the room was getting beat up horribly because of Lucas' feelings. I turned to her and she yelled in pain. I sprinted towards her and punched the guy she was fighting. His fists started to grow a few inches, so I quickly focused on whatever he was doing and I copied his power. He opened his eyes widely when he noticed that my fist was also getting bigger like his. I punched him on his stomach and he fell on the floor gasping for air.
We were now in the living room and I knew there was still a fight outside the house. I turned and Frannie was on the floor covered in blood. My heart picked up its pace and my hands started to shake. Charlie was pinned to the wall fighting with a brunette. "Charlie!" I yelled and she looked at me quickly. The brunette took this moment to stab Charlie in her abdomen and then she ran into the hall.
Charlie fell on the floor and I could feel the stabbing on my stomach. I opened my jacket and saw the big red spot on my abdomen. I tried to focus on Louise powers but it wasn't working. I was too weak, or I don't know what was happening.
"Quinn!" I heard and when I looked at Frannie she was pressing her wound on her neck yelling at me. "Don't fall … asleep." My eyes were heavy and I was sure we lost a lot of blood. I turned my head to the side to see Charlie on the floor, without her jacket pressing her wound with her fingers.
'It's okay Quinn, everything… will be alright.' Charlie said slowly.
I opened my eyes once again and I saw Louise walking towards Frannie and me. She placed one hand on top of Frann and one on top of my abdomen. As soon as she started healing me, I focused on her power and completed Charlie's healing.
Charlie stood and started to heal Frannie, she lost a lot of blood. Charlie moved her hands synchronized, she was crying and I could feel how much it hurt her to see Frannie like this. I shook my head and walked over to where Lucas was, he couldn't move. His eyes were red from all the crying and I know he was trying to save Frann but he couldn't do anything which made him feel that much more useless. After a few more seconds, they both stood up and smiled at me.
'Thank you.' I read Frannie's mind and I gave her a hug. Charlie joined and we held each other for a few seconds.
Frannie saw a sparkle coming her way and she pushed Charlie and me. The sparkle hit the ceiling and then hit Louise. She collapsed and instantly I had a three –ball spark in my hand. I threw them to the guy who attacked us and he fell on the floor. My hands are shaking and I can't breathe properly. I saw how his sparkle disappears from his chest, and didn't realize what I did until Louise placed a hand on my shoulder.
"It's okay Quinn." She said and I walked closer to the body on the floor. I looked at his face and noticed it was Axel's mate. My heart beat fast and I could only think about how I threw that spell to my best friend's mate. Which means Axel is going to die too.
'Quinn,' Charlie turned me to look at her. 'Santana needs us. We need to find her.' I nodded. 'Also, he was your ex's best friend.'
I nodded and entered to the other room, Lucas, Louise, Frannie and Charlie were all behind me. I stopped and thought about Aunt Elise's power and used the x –ray vision to look outside. Dad was alive and fighting, Alexandre was doing the same with Peter. Aunt Elise and her mate are fighting as one. I was glad everyone was okay so far.
I turned to Charlie and she smiled at me. "Santana is downstairs. In the basement."
I looked back still using Aunt's Elise powers and saw her seated on the chair. I inspected the room and saw a tall man inside with her.
I heard a big explosion coming from outside. The explosion pushed us to the wall and we fell on the floor. There was a fire in the living room and kitchen. Charlie moved her fingers and pulled the fire away from us.
"I'm going outside. They need me." Louise yelled and Frannie followed her along with Lucas.
I grabbed Charlie's hand and directed us to the basement door.
It took Charlie's sparkle and mine to open the door simultaneously. Charlie entered and a ball was flying towards her. I placed a barrier and she walked closer to the tall man. The ball hit my green barrier and it vanished.
"About time Quinn." I've heard that voice before, but where? "But I'm afraid you are too late." My bracelet burned my wrist so much I had to take it off.
'What are you doing?' Charlie said playing with her bracelet around her fingers. I know it was burning her too.
"What are you talking about?" Charlie said walking closer to him.
"My daughter doesn't have a sparkle anymore." He said and I froze at his words.
'Did he just say daughter?'
'I, I.'
I pulled a ball of fire in my hand and threw it to the ceiling. When the fire fell, I was able to see his face.
"Mr…" I said. I was speechless. My heart was beating fast and my chest was undergoing a horrible pressure, even though I'm with Santana in the same room it feels like we're miles apart.
"You!" Charlie yelled. "I can believe this shit. You kidnapped her! Your own daughter!"
'Charlie, be careful.'
"I don't give two shits Quinn." She yelled and he looked at us with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, you can try but you can't have Santana back."
"You're lying!" I was the one yelling this time. I walked towards Santana and touched her face. She was sleeping or passed out. I pushed her hair back and kissed her forehead, cheeks, nose and lips. "Babe please, please wake up. We're together now. We're together."
Tears were rolling down my cheeks when I saw how fragile she looked. I wasn't used to seeing her like this. I looked around in the basement and found her necklace on top of the desk. I moved my fingers and grabbed it. Charlie was in front of him with her hands charged of electricity and an orange ball in the other hand.
I placed the necklace around her neck but she didn't move. I looked at the necklace and the only thing shining was Charlie's and my spark inside the half-moon.
"Please Santana, tell me you love me. Tell me you still love me." I grabbed her face and pulled her into a kiss. She didn't respond and I stopped kissing her and removed her hands from around the gloves. I placed them together and brought them close for a kiss. "San, tell me you still love me."
After a few more tries, Santana opened her eyes and stared at me for a good ten seconds. She stared into my eyes. She moved her head to the right and saw him in a corner with Charlie standing in front of him. She had a confused look on her face and I could tell she was scared.
"San babe, are you okay?"
She sat straight for a moment in the chair and looked at me with big piercing brown eyes. "Who are you?" She whispered.
