AN: Yay an update. it took a bi and some rewrites before I was happy with it, well to be honest I'm not a 100% happy with it but it is definitely a 1000x better than what i had originally scribbled down.

As always i own nothing but the plot. All mistakes are mine and mine alone.


Thunder and lightening crashed all around, but Ray still had enough control to keep it from striking the ground as she sat on the floor of the old family cellar that she and Puck and converted into a covered but still open crypt, talking to her mom.

"Oh mom, you would adore Quinn's daughter, She looks exactly like her. Cute as a fucking button. Beth is so smart mom, so fucking smart. Again just like her mother. Good thing too as the father is a dim-witted fool. The fucker is so threatened by me. He picked a fight with me twice now. Broke his hand the first time, so this time he pulled a knife. A fucking knife! He managed to slice me once with it before I knocked him out. It felt so good to beat the crap out of him. It was like I was beating the crap out of father." Ray began to break down. "I'm so sorry we left you with him mom. So fucking sorry." Ray continued to cry before finally passing out from the wound.

Five minutes later that's exactly how Puck found her. Hissing at the scent of his sister's blood, Puck crouched down and gingerly lifted ray up and blurred at vampire speed back to the house, and up into Ray's room. Laying Ray down on her bed, Puck quickly removed her boots and ripped the rest of her shirt off of her, leaving her in her jeans and bra. He barely held in a snarl once he saw the gash across her rib cage.

"Oh My God." Quinn gasped once she saw the extent of Ray's injury.

Puck grabbed the first aid kit from Quinn and quickly opened it, grabbing the items he needed.

"Ok Quinn, you are going to see some things that will startle you as well as confuse and or possible scare you. I need you, Ray needs you to not be freaked out ok? At Quinn's nod Puck continued. "Ok im going to have to hold her down, so what I need you to do is take the first bottle and mix it with the second bottle." Puck watched as Quinn quickly followed his directions before continuing. "Now I need you to shake the mixture before I have you pour the solution into her gash. It's going to flush the area, and its's going to cause Ray extreme pain, but it needs to be done. You ready?" At Quinn's nod, Puck hooked his arm under Ray's chin and grabbed her arm locking it within his hold. "Now Quinn." Quinn steadied herself and began to or the mixture into the wound. At the first contact, Ray let out a deafening roar and snarled. Quinn jumped but saw that Puck had his sister held tight and continued pouring the solution until Puck told her to stop. Steady growls could be heard coming from Ray the entire time. Once Puck could only smell his sister's blood he told Quinn to stop, just as she had poured the last of the bottle. Ray's growling had stopped and now she was muttering curses. Puck had loosened his grip on his sister once she had started cursing.

"Alright sis, I need to stitch you closed. There were faint traces of deadman's blood mixed with vervain on the blade. You wont heal as fast as you normally would."

"Fucking Hudson." Ray growled out, but relaxed so her brother could do his job.

Three dissolvable and twelve stitches with a whole lot of cursing later, Puck gently cleaned the area and slapped a waterproof bandage on before telling Ray to go shower. He and Quinn quickly cleaned up the garbage and as she was taking the first aid kit back, he stripped the bed of its sheets before remaking it with black silk sheets. Accessing the hidden compartment in Ray's bar, Puck grabbed two bottles of blood quickly heating both to body temperature and leaves them in the changing area of Ray's shower. Pouring himself a drink, Puck sits down on Ray's couch and closed his eyes for a minute. He could hear the girls quietly talking about Beth not being able to calm down. Ray came out of the shower dressed in her silk sleep pants and a sports bra. Going over to the built in panel, Ray accessed the menu to lock down the house.

"I can keep the worst of the storm away from rest of the town but not here. Duckie has already done a protection spell for the house. I just locked down the rest of the house keeping it water tight and enabling the underground phone lines. It's going to get bad Noah. I'm sorry."

"It's ok Ray. You're keeping the town safe as well as everyone here safe."

Before anything else could be said, the twins heard the Unholy Trinity coming up the stairs, along with a very upset and frightened Beth. As soon as Beth reached the top of the stairs she looked around for Ray. Once the tiny tot spotted the vampire, the tiny blonde ran as fast as her little legs would carry her to Ray. Bending down Ray picked the little girl up and once she had the tiny tot against her chest, Ray began to purr for the littlest Fabray.

"Santana you should call your parents and let them know where you are and that you are safe. Use the house phone. It's grounded as well as insulated so you will be ok to be on the phone while all this lightening is happening."

Ray sat down on the couch cradling Beth against her and cued up the Disney movie that was still in the DVD player and let it play. Halfway though the movie Puck got up to make everyone dinner. Brittany and Santana were curled up on the other couch lost in their own world. Quinn was still in shock over what had happened less then an hour ago. Glancing over at the head cheerleader, Ray can see that the girl is in shock. Getting up very carefully so she doesn't wake up Beth, Ray gently puts Beth down in her playpen and covers her with a blanket. Both Ray and Quinn had decided to move the playpen into Ray's room after Ray had bought a proper crib that could be converted into a toddler bed. When everyone was home, Beth was glued to Ray's side so it had made sense to move the playpen into Ray's room. In the short amount of time that Quinn and her daughter had been living with her and Noah, Beth had become very attached to Ray. After she had covered the tiny tot with her blanket, Ray made sure to tuck the teddy bear in beside her. Ray had bought two of them and 'dressed' them in her old t-shirts effectively covering the bears in a combination of her and Quinn"s scent as she had had Quinn lightly spray her perfume on them. Ray had come up with the idea after the tiny tot had a few night terrors and the only way the two could get her back to sleep if she was surrounded by both the smell of her mother and Ray. Ray watched as Beth snuggled into the bear with a small smile before standing back up and quickly going to her bar and pouring a drink for Quinn. Sitting back down beside the HBIC, Ray handed her the drink.

"Here. It will help with the shock. I know you have questions and I promise I will answer them after dinner. All I ask is that you remember one thing; I would never hurt you or Beth. I would die before ever letting any harm come to the two of you. Can you do that for me Quinn? Can you keep that in the back of your mind during our discussion later?" Ray asked in a gentle but hushed tone.

After a few moments had passed Quinn nodded her head. Ray let out the breath she had been holding before turning her attention to Brittany.

"Duckie, did you bring those items I asked you to?"

Brittany looked up at Ray's voice and nodded. She tossed Ray a small black cloth bag. Quinn looked over at Ray as the quarterback opened the bag.

"Remember this morning how I said I would have something to protect you and Beth?" At Quinn's nod Ray continued. "These are those items. They are identical to the crosses that you both already wear. Once you put them on they will be unbreakable. The one for Beth is designed to stretch as she grows with out restricting her in anyway until it needs to be replaced in a couple of years."

Before Quinn could reply the intercom buzzed.

"Ray, there are two police officers that have braved the weather to come talk to you and Quinn about the fight. They should be here any minute."

"Thank you Noah. We will be down in a few. Please make some coffee."

"Already done sis. Dinner is just about done. I'll put both yours and Quinn's plates in the oven to keep them warm."

Ray thanked her brother and carefully put on a button up shirt, leaving it loose knowing that the police would want to take pictures, documenting the injuries sustained during her fight with Finn. While Ray was putting her shirt on, Quinn was using Ray's mouth wash to remove any traces of alcohol on her breath even though she had only had a few sips of the whiskey that Ray had poured. Ray downed the rest of the glass, popped a mint and then carefully picked Beth up who had woken when the intercom went off.

"Hey cutie patootie, lets go play with some of your toys downstairs."

Beth clapped her hands happily and began to babble as Ray carried her down the stairs. Quinn watched with a small smile on her face as her daughter radiated happiness while Ray interacted with her. As frightened as she was earlier of what had happened earlier, Quinn believed Ray when the Quarterback told her that she would never hurt Quinn or her daughter. Quinn could see that Ray already loved and adored Beth, treating her as if the tiny tot was her own child. In the short time that mother and daughter been living with the twins, Ray had bonded with Beth in a way that Finn never had in the entire 18 months that Beth had been alive and living with her father. Not noticing where she was, Quinn looked around confused for a moment before realizing that she had followed Ray into the living room on autopilot while lost in her thoughts. Ray was sitting on the floor with Beth, as the little girl played with her toys while they waited for the police to arrive.


This most chapter is mostly filler but it does give Quinn a peak as to what the twins are. As for Finn, i have some plans for him...(insert evil giggle and smirk) but they wont be revealed for oh possibly 2 chapters.

As always reviews are welcome unless you are going to criticize for the sake of trashing and well you know what you can do with that and preferable dont lube yourself as you shove it sideways. Till next time my lovely readers,
