They finially got to their destination. The place they were staying for the night was a nice house. it looked huge on the outside.

Q and S lead us up to the door and inside. Once Brett and Sam got inside they looked around. At first they saw a big entrence with a large staircase going up. to the right was a living room and connected was a kitchen in the back. To the left was the dinning room.

"Holy fuck, were in a mansion." Sam said.

S just walked straight to the kitchen leaving the guys with Q.

"Well im not gonna do a tour but this is the living room, you guys can wait here till we get dinner ready." She said motioning to the couches.

Both boys put their bags down by the door. They could see two other bags similar to theirs in the living room. They were a bit smaller. They took their jackets off and leaned them on their bags.

"Looks like they were just stocking up for a big trip. Maybe their headed somewhere near Wonderland." Sam said nudging Brett.

"I dont know man. They don't even like us." Brett said looking around the room.

"Well Q likes us, we were talking. She said we were nice but S just doesn't do well with new people." Sam said.

"You don't say." Brett says sarcastically.

About 15 minutes later Q calls them in to eat. Once the boys sit down, their jaws drop in shock from the food infront of them.

They had beans, broccoli, carrots, soup and some chicken. They didn't know how the girls cooked food bacuse the power was out. But they didn't ask very many questions when they started to eat up.

Q just laughed and dug in herself. S stared at the boys giving them a discusted look, before she started to eat herself.

After 30 minutes the group moved to the living room, they were sitting down with beers in their hands. They agreed to finially introduce themselves.

"Okay, well ladies first." Sam said with a smirk.

S just rolled her eyes and went to file her nails. Q took the lead.

"Okay, well my name is Quinn Fabrey, Im 18 and I live here in Scarbrough, I go to Maplewood High School. I got droped by my parents a year ago, so S here and her family took me in. Umm I'm a cheerleader, and I played on the Girls volleyball team." She said smiling, then she looked to Sam.

"Okay, im Sam Pierce, were also 18 and we live in whitby. Umm, we go to Henry Street Highschool. We were on the football team, Brett here is actually captain of the team." Sam said patting Brett on the back.

Brett noded. Then Q turned to Brett.

"Um, Im Brett Pierce, like Sam said im 18, and from whitby, I guess i went to Henry but not anymore. I played football, umm oh, we have a little sister named Isabella, shes 11. And I swear she's the most amazing person you'll ever meet. She's the one who keeps us in check." Brett said smiling, but them his smile dissapeared from the tought of her.

Both Quinn and S noticed. Then Quinn cleared her throat and nudged Santana in the stomach with her elbow. silently telling her to go.

"Oh, well im Santana Lopez, I'm also 18 and I live here in this house, or I used to. I went to Maplewood high and was also on the cheerleading team, I was the captain actually. Plus I was captain of the soccer team to." She said looking up.

The room was silent for a second before Quinn spoke up.

"So you guys are brothers then?" She asked to make convorsation.

"Yea were twins actually. Faternal." Sam said.

"No shit, dipshit. You both have the same last name and age. Plus your hair is a little brighter then Bretts but your faces look completely different. Expecially with your big fat lips, like jeaze did you get lip injections?" Santana asked.

Sam just got up angry. "Whatever." He said then he left.

Santana just rolled her eyes and went back to doing her nails.

"Um Brett, come help me grab some pillows and Blankets." Quinn asked

Brett justs noded.

They walked out of the living room into a long hallway to a door at the end, they walked in and it was the laundry room. Brett looked down to his watch and noticed it was almost 7. They didn't get very far, but it was a good start. He just wanted to get to his baby sister.

Quinn started to give Brett blankets and pillows to hold.

"Sorry about Santana, she doesn't like new people. and she has this bitchy attitude to hide her real self. I promise you shes a nice and genuine person once she lets you in." Quinn said grabbing another few blankets.

"Its okay, I get it." Brett said following Quinn back to the living room.

Once they got back in they saw santana on one couch. Quinn dropped four blankets on the floor and give one to santana and another went on the other couch. then they gave everyone each a pillow.

"I guess you and Santana can have the couches. Me and Sam will take the floor." Brett said to Quinn.

"Thanks-" Quinn said as Sam walked in. But Santana cut her off.

"Of course you men will take the floor. Not only is that the respectful thing to do, but its my house. So if you have a problem then leave." She said turning over.

Sam just inhailed sharply. "You know what? I'm sorry I was rude and slapped your ass, but you don't have to be a bitch all the time. For God's sake, we saved your fucking life today. Brett helped you out the window and I caught you when you fell from 8 feet up in the air. So maybe say thanks and just shut the fuck up." Sam said getting really angry.

Brett quickly stopped him. "Stop Sam, its okay. let's just all go to bed."

Sam noded, Quinn got on the other couch and Sam took the spot next to Quinn on the floor. So Brett took the spot next to Santana of the floor. The guys set up their beds. Sam got in while Brett went to blow out the candles. He left one lit so they had some lights.

"Okay its 9 now, so if we wake up at 7 that gives us a 10 hour sleep. Then we'll get up and leave early. Night everyone." He said closing his eyes.

Quinn and Sam both said goodnight, Santana stayed silent.


About an hour later, Brett was unable to sleep, he was laying there thinking about Izzy and how scared she must be. He prayed she was okay. The others seemed to have had no problem falling asleep, Brett could hear Sam snoring and he saw Quinn passed out. He didnt hear much from Santana. He just assumed she was asleep.

That was until he heard someone sniffiling, like if they were silently crying. Brett sat up looking around to see who it was until he heard Santana move. He looked up to her on the couch, she was facing in so he couldn't see her face. But he could see with the small amount of light that it was her, she was shaking.

Brett got up and tapped her sholder. This caused her to jump a bit and turn to face him.

"Hey are you okay?" He asked her.

She just coverd her face and mumbled a "No" into the blanket.

"Wana talk about it?" He asked sitting on his knees infront of the couch.

She looked up to his face. Brett could see the worry in her eyes.

"Im j-just scared." She said wiping her eyes.

"Of what?" He asked in a gentle voice, not wanting Santana to block him out.

"Of everything going on, my parents, my brother. Me and Quinn. What do we do now? The world is literally falling apart. And I never got to live my life. I'm still a teen I should be going to party's getting wasted. Not worrying about if i will have food or a warm place to stay, or if I close my eyes long enough someone might come and bite my face off." She said in a low weak voice sniffiling again.

Brett just sighed and stood up. He sat down beside her on the couch. "May I?" He asked motioning to lie beside her.

At first she was hesitant, but then she noded. Brett layed down beside her, he wrapped his arm around her. She snuggled up to him and put her head on his chest. Holding her is what made her feel safe and warm. Brett then moved the blanket so they were under it.

"Tell me a little about your brother." Brett wispered as he started to rub her back.

She sniffled again and snuggled closer to him. She inheiled, catching some of his sent. It was weird but his sent was so comforting. She let go of her breath and spoke.

"My brothers name is Mateo, hes 11. Hes my favorite person besides Quinn. Growing up my parents were buisness people. I basically grew up with nanys until Mateo was born. as soon as he was able to walk, we became close. I mean I love my parents but they basically abandoned us. The only family I had was him. So its hard being away from him. I'm supposed to be his big sister but I'm basically his mom. And then Quinn came to me a year ago, crying about how her parents kicked her out. So she also moved in. Thats been my family for a while. Just those two, but, hes gone. And I'm so scared for him." She said starting to cry again.

"I see." Brett said. "Well my sister is also 11. She's also gone right now. I'm very protective of her, so is Sam, but we just have this bond. She's all alone right now. Thats where we're going, to get her." Brett said sighing.

Santana kept siletly crying. "Yea, Mateo is somewhere alone to. I just can't sleep knowing hes alone and scared." She said wiping away her tears.

"How about you get some rest, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow. A lot of walking." Brett said.

"I can't sleep, I havnt slept since two nights ago, before any of this happened. I'm to scared." She said snuggling into him more.

Brett leaned back to look at her face. Her eyes were swolen and red, same with her lips. He just wanted to kiss her pain away, make her feel safe. He was worried she hadn't slept in over 40 hours.

He slightly turned so he was cradling her more. "How about this, ill stay up and watch while you sleep. You do need it if were gonna make a journey tomorrow. You'll feel so much better, I promise." He said softly to her.

"You promiss to stay? She asked quietly.

Brett frowned at her tone, she sounded so weak, so vulnerable. He kinda wished her bitchy attitude was back. No one should ever feel so scared to sleep in their own home.

"I promise i will stay right here. I'll take first watch, and I'll protect you. Nothing will happen, and I, I promise well find your brother." He said higging her tighter to show he means it.

Santana just sighed, like if a weight was lifted off her chest. "Thank you." She said.

About 15 minutes later of Brett rubbing her back, he could tell she was sleeping. So he got comfortable himself and starting to dose off. 'What a big day we have tomorrow'. Brett thought. All he had to do was ask Santana where her brother was. Maybe they could go with them to their safe house.
