True to her Daddy's word, 30 minutes later, roughly ten minutes into class, the twins were called out of class to Figgins' office.
"No I will not agree to this! This is a joke, there is no way that those two could pass two Spanish exams with out cheating."
"William, I have just gotten off the phone with Super Intendant Harris and it's out of our hands. The only stipulation I had, and the terms were agreed to, was that the exams were not from this school, so there is no possible way for them to cheat. The exams will be randomly selected the day of the exams from three different school boards in three different states. As it is completely anonymous due to them being shipped over night. And as you know William," Figgins continued before Schuester could object. "The other school boards across this great nation have different Spanish curriculums, if anything, the odds are stacked against these two students, and we are setting them up for failure."
Ray and Noah had been having a silent conversation with one another, that only twins seemed to be capable of, as Figgins shot down all of Schuester's objections. Noah was trying to convince Ray to tell the curly haired teacher off in Spanish. Ray was trying to convince her brother to wait until they had aced their exams.
"And when will they be taking the exams?"
"Wednesday. Sue Sylvester has even volunteered to proctor. Something about ensuring that there was no that two of your 'mouth breathers' would be slipped the answers by anyone from the Glee Club. This is not up for discussion. It has already been decided and will happen as stated, on Wednesday."
Mr. Schuester got up with out a word and stormed out of Figgins' office. Ray and Noah smirked at one another as they watched him leave.
"Thank you Principal Figgins. To be honest if I had remembered before transferring back to McKinley, Noah and I would have requested to take the equivalency exams before the year started. Noah and I have been fluent in Spanish since we were ten years old, and to be perfectly honest, Mr. Schuester butchers such a beautiful language."
Principal Figgins looked at Ray for a few minutes. He was pretty sure that the girl was stoned, but no aroma of cannabis wafted from the Quarterback, and she didn't have the glassy manic stare induced from chemicals. Puck was hiding his smirk as Ray gave Figgins a small smile during his inspection. Finally he cleared his throat.
"You two are to report to coach Sylvester's office."
Once they were a few feet away from Figgins' office, Ray broke out into a fit of laughter as Puck let loose the laughter he had been containing.
"He totally knew you were stoned sis."
Ray snorted before responding. "Oh I know. He looked completely stunned when I voiced my opinion of Schuester's teachings."
"I think he is still trying to get used to Ray as opposed to that pretentious suck up 'Rachel' from freshman year."
"Yes well 'Rachel' was your fault and that stupid bet. Which I'm pretty sure you cheated at." Ray grumbled.
Puck smirked at his sister. Of course he cheated. He had been tired of losing to his sister. However had he known the backlash Ray would go through, he wouldn't have cheated. Hindsight was always a bitch.
Arriving at coach Sylvester's office the twins greeted Becky before continuing into Sues actual office.
"Ah yes PuckerBerry twins. Have a seat." Sue waited until the two had sat down before continuing. "I'm sure by now that you have been informed that I volunteered to proctor your exams this Wednesday and I bet you are wondering how \I knew about this, as you have just found out yourselves."
"Not really Coach. I just assumed Duckie told you that I had called my daddy. Well that and the fact that you have bugged Figgins' office." Ray replied.
Sue smirked at the girl. She did indeed have Figgins office bugged. She could tell that the vampire was stoned, and had even laughed at the girl's comment about Will butchering the language.
"All right you two heathens, get out of my office and try to stay our of trouble."
Ray softly laughed as she and Puck left Sue's office. The siblings decided to go to the weight room instead of study hall. As the twins left her office, Sue called coach Beiste and suggested that maybe the team should just work stamina and weights for practice. Sue had noticed the date in the twins file and felt it was too risky for full contact given the two vampires volatile tempers. After Sue explained that it was the anniversary of their mothers murder, Beiste agreed to run passing plays and cardio for the team practice. And that she would limit the contact as much as possible.
Once off the phone, Beiste looked out the back window of her office into the weight room and saw the twins already working out. Ray was currently decimating the heavy bag as her brother held on to it to add more resistance. Tn minutes later Brittany came running into the weight room. Beiste watched as the bubbly blonde had a frantic conversation before the twins took off running from the room. Shannon, sensing trouble, got up to follow them.
Ray and Puck didn't have far to run. As soon as they burst through the door of the weight room they could hear the yelling match between Finn and Quinn. Finn was waiving around paperwork as he yelled at the HBIC. Seems Russell tried to file paperwork against Quinn earlier this morning and Ray's lawyer struck first, thanks to the compelled office clerk at the courthouse.
"You are not taking my daughter from me Quinn! I have every right to see her. I'M HER FATHER. I don't care what this fucking paper work says. Your farther agrees with me that she shouldn't be living with that freak. God only knows what she is learning while living in that house."
"Are you kidding me Finn?! You went to my father? You went to the man who kicked me out because you couldn't figure out how to put a condom on properly and knocked me up. The only reason that waste of skin is helping you, is because he despises Ray's fathers and his own narrow minded hypocritical views regarding Ray. Ray has been a better parent to Beth these past few days than you have been these past 18 months as a father. Ray is twice the man you could ever dream of being and she is a girl!"
Finn raised his hand and was about to slap Quinn when Ray grabbed his wrist, squeezing until she heard a pop.
"Now I know you weren't about to hit the mother of our child Finn, especially not in front of all these witnesses who happen to be recording the two of you." Ray growled out as she let go of the taller teen and spun him around to face her as Brittany and Santana guided Quinn closer to where Puck was standing. Finn was shaking out the tingling sensation in his hand as he glared at Ray. Ray had applied enough pressure when she squeezed moments earlier to pop the joins in his wrist causing his hand to instantly become numb and feel like it had fallen asleep.
"Fuck off Ray! This is between me and Quinn." Finn snarled.
"Yeah I can't do that Finney boy. You see, when I see a poor excuse of a father threatening to strike the mother of his child simply because he doesn't like what she has to say, I have a problem with that. You know what else I have a problem with, a guy who attempts to physically harm a woman, especially one who is half his size and as I just mentioned, the Mother of His Daughter. Now here is what you are going to do. You are going to walk away down that hallway right now, and if you ever pull a stunt like this again..., I'll have your stupid ass arrested and you will never see Beth again."
Finn glared at Ray. He knew he had to walk away from the situation, but his pride wouldn't let him.
"Why should I listen to You Ray? Huh? You're nothing but a freak, and that's all you ever will be."
Ray started laughing at the taller teen. Once she had stopped laughing Ray got into his personal space and give Finn a condescending smile.
"Well this 'freak' happens to be the Quarterback and Captain of the football team. This 'freak' happens to be best friends with 1/3 of the unholy trinity, friends with a second member, oh and I happen to be living with them both. But I'm just a freak right? Hmmmm... I think I know why you're so obsessed with my being a 'freak'. I know you've seen my dick in the locker room, you've seen how big I am, you jealous you don't measure up? Scratch that, I know you don't measure up. In fact I'm surprised you were even able to impregnate Quinn let alone satisfy her. You know between your lack of equipment and early arrival issues."
Ray smirked at the giggles and laughter she heard in the hallway and watched as Finn's face turned almost purple in his embarrassment and anger.
"Walk away Finn. Go run to Russell to lick your wounds and tell him that the 'freak' beat you again. However hear me on this; You ever come near Quinn again with anything other then a pleasant attitude and good intentions, I will slap you with a restraining order so fucking fast your head will spin and you can kiss your daughter good bye."
Coach Beiste had been watching the interaction from the doorway of the weight room and decided to make her presence known.
"What's going on here?"
"Nothing Coach. Finn was just leaving." Ray replied as she stared at Finn, daring him to say otherwise. After a minute Finn snarled and stormed down away, kicking a locker as he stomped away. Once Finn was out of sight Ray spun around and looked Quinn over.
"You okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine." Quinn replied softly.
Ray noticed Quinn rubbing her arm where Finn had grabbed her before Noah had got there.
"Did he do that to you?" Ray asked with deceptive calm as she stared at the bruise that was forming.
"Ray.."
"Did. He. Do. That?" Ray growled out.
"Yes he did Ray-Bear." Brittany answered quietly.
"Ray growled and had to close her eyes to calm her inner beast that was rattling at it's cage in an effort to be set free, demanding vengeance for Finn daring to put his hands on their soulmate, marking her, hurting her.
"He will be dealt with." Ray said with a deadly calm tone that made Noah pale. "When you get home, come see me, we'll get those bruises taken care of."
Brittany was genuinely scared of Ray in that moment. She had never seen her friend like this before. Ray worked hard at being 'human' and I was as if 'Ray' wasnt in control, that the 'vampire' was in control at the moment and that would be very dangerous. It would be as if Ray's humanity had been turned off. Brittany let out a small whimper of fear at that thought and curled into Santana who was still standing beside her. Quinn heard the normally bubbly blonde's whimper and looked up at Ray and was shocked at what she saw on the quarterback's face. Without thinking Quinn reached up and cupped Ray's face.
"Look at me Ray." Quinn demanded softly.
"Ray looked down at Quinn unblinkingly, and the head cheerleader had to suppress the ripple of fear that she felt as she stared into the quarterback's eyes. Ray's beast was peeking out making her normally brown eyes, were pitch black with rage.
"Come back to us Ray," Quinn demanded softly. "Come back to me. You're scaring Duckie, and you're starting to scare me."
At the words that she was scaring her mate, Ray closed her eyes again and counted to ten before letting out a deep breath. Opening her eyes once again, Quinn could see that they wre once again the soft warm brown that she was coming to adore. Ray reached up to cup one of Quinn's hands on her cheek and whispered out an apology. Quinn smiled softly before dropping her hands from Ray's face.
"Duckie? I'm so sorry Duckie. I didn't mean to scare you."
Brittany turned around and saw that the vampire was genuinely upset that she had scared her best friend. Brittany could hear the thunder rumbling and smell the wet earth from the rain storm that was happening due to Ray's emotions. Brittany launched herself into the Quarterback's arms, crushing the vampire in a bear hug.
"You can't kill him Ray." Brittany whispered in the vampire's ear.
"I wasn't going to Duckie," Ray began before the fey interrupted her.
"You can't maim him either."
"Dammit Duckie, you take away all my fun. Fine I'll just have to prank him and compel him and no I'm not telling you what my plan is."
Ray got a far off look as the fey pouted at her. Seconds later a loud was heard followed by the smell of ozone and the school vibrating. A minute later a second crack was heard and the lights went out in the school.
"Ray what did you just do?" Brittany whispered.
"You'll see. Lets take a walk to the front doors, shall we?"
Ray and Britt made their way to the front doors, with Puck, Quinn and Santana following close behind them.
