(Glee x Far Cry 5 Crossover)
Gunshots whistled through the air around Santana. Santana opens and closes her eyes, groaning at the pounding headache bang against her head. It's not a bed that she's on and she's moving, so it has to be a car. Santana opened her eyes, blinking away the blurriness. She's in a car, a pickup truck, she could tell by the high roof and the type of seats. Santana turns to look at who's driving seeing two people in the front seat, both firing out the windows. There was a black guy, black mini afro with glasses, and dressed in a bulletproof jacket. In the passenger seat, there was a blonde girl in just a plaid shirt. Santana practically cheered that she wasn't with the peggies but rolled her eyes at her situation. All Santana knew was she needed to get free so she could go and find Quinn.
Earlier Today
Santana Lopez stood looking around at everyone, uneasiness settling in. She was outside of the large Seed family cabin, it was nice, but there were heavily armed guards guarding the estate. She has no idea where her precious Jeep is, and she could get a signal. For a small county, there was a massive militia, the only thing keeping her sane was Quinn Fabray. She watched from a distance her girlfriend, who was in a heated conversation with her mother.
She sends a text message to her mother and Rachel, both letting them know she made it to Hope County.
Mama:
Be safe. I love you, baby.
Santana replies with an I love you too and a promise to call later.
A couple of weeks ago, Quinn received a letter from her mom. Judy asked for Quinn to visit her and Frannie (Quinn's older sister) in Hope County. Quinn was against it at first she hasn't heard or seen from Judy or Frannie in 7 years. She never got a reason why they left.
Santana was confident that Judy and Frannie got themselves into a militarized religious cult. The first warning sign was everyone on the way here told them to stay away. The second warning thing was the militia running around. And the third weird thing was when they meet the Seed family. However, Santana was glad this religious whatever didn't discriminate against anyone because if they did, she's pretty sure they'd be shot dead.
"Santana." She internally groaned before turning to see the Seed family approaching her. There were four of them: creepy (Joseph), asshole (Jacob), sociopath (John), and pretty princess (Faith).
"Joseph right," She questioned, putting on her typically unfazed facade, something she mastered at a young age. Santana is never one to keep her mouth shut, but this whole situation is off for her.
"Father Joseph." He corrected her with an unadulterated tone.
Santana eyed him suspiciously. "Okay."
"Judy told us you and Quinn grew up in Lima," John asked. Santana glances at him if she had to say anyone was crazy, she'd say it's him.
Santana nodded. "Yea, my foster family live there. I've known the Fabray's my whole life." Santana shots another glance at Quinn, who was still in an argument with Judy.
"Judy mentioned that you were like her third daughter," Jacob asked.
"I was always Judy's favorite, but I wouldn't say the same about Russell."
"She mentioned that. In Eden's Gate, we accept all, even people who've done the worst of the worst." Joseph says with an underlying conceited tone. "You'll just have to us confess, cleanse, and join us."
Santana wondered what exactly Judy and Frannie told them. It most likely would've been about the shit she did in high school. Her foster parents weren't the best, and neither was Quinn's parents. The Fabray's and the Lopez's were partners, business partners. The only thing to solidify the partnership was marriage, marriage between her and Quinn. Only things never went as planned.
"So I've heard." Santana's phone vibrates, she pulls it out to check it. It was her mother again, asking for exact locations. She shook her head before sending it.
Faith speaks up, "Judy told us you and Quinn live in New York. But she never mentioned what you guys do."
"Quinn is Payton Jones's apprentice, she just passed the bar, but as you can tell, I was in the military," Santana informs them. She was wearing a plain white shirt, black jeans, and army boots. She gave her army jacket to Quinn, who got cold in the car was wearing her army jacket. It was a confidential unit that operates under the jurisdiction of the military.
"What unit?"
"Special forces." Santana kept it short, not wanting to go any further.
"Are you guys married?" John asked.
Joseph speaks up, "I'm sorry if it seems like we're prying for information. We rarely get guests from outside of the county."
"Especially in-laws." Faith cheered.
"Excuse me?" Santana looked at him, confused.
"Judith, didn't tell you both?"
"Tell us what?" Quinn asked, walking up, joining Santana's side with a pained expression. Santana gives her a look to see if she's okay, and Quinn nods, then Quinn gives her the same look, which they answer with a nod. The unspoken communication between the two doesn't go unnoticed by the Seed family.
"Frannie and I are married, we got married a month ago. I thought Judith told you in the letter." Joseph reveals to them with a smile. Quinn looked at them in an indifferent expression to hide her surprise.
Santana was trying her hardest not to think that her future in-laws were the dumbest people she's ever met, and there's a lot of people, for example, Finn or Puck or Sugar or Mr. Schue. These were moments like this when she wishes she would've stayed home and dealt with Rachel's constant singing all day or dealing with her overly protective mother.
"Are you both okay?" John asked Quinn and Judy with a smile. Santana glared at him every time he speaks it's always laced with a dark undertone.
"Of course John, Quinny and I were just, clearing the air," Judy answered with a smile. Quinn was trying to figure out what to say or do.
Santana clears her voice before wrapping her arm around Quinn's waist, "I guess congratulations are in order."
"Yes, congratulations, I guess I should say, Welcome to the Family!" Quinn smiles genuinely, placing her hand on Santana's stomach.
"We're delighted to have the family together." Joseph smiles, which Quinn returns.
"Expect dad," Quinn points out. "Or is he somewhere here."
"Actually, he is here. He's in the process of cleansing his soul," Judy confessed. "What about your family Santana? How have they been?"
Santana glances at her irritated, Quinn strokes her hand up and down her girlfriend's back to keep her collected, "They're great."
"Russell mentioned that you found your birth mother. I heard that she was a mayor of a small town."
Santana clutched her jaw in irritation, she didn't like everyone knowing her business.
"I think it's time for us to tune in, we've been driving all day. Do you think you could point us to the nearest hotel, " Quinn asks.
"Of course, but we thought you guys could visit the church tonight for our service." Judy frowned slightly.
"We would love to, but we've been driving for 13 hours from Las Vegas." Quinn apologized, "We'll be in town for a few more days. We will have plenty of time to hang out as a family."
"A few days? Quinny that too short."
"I promised my mom I'd visit. She's been calling and texting me nonstop." Santana spoke up.
"There's a motel in Fall's End," Joseph says. "There are signs that will lead you to the town. Your Jeep should be out front."
"Thank you." Santana forced smiled.
"We'll see you in the morning for breakfast." Faith smiled.
Santana and Quinn started walking toward the front.
"You have got to be kidding me, this is essentially a fucking cult," Santana whispered to Quinn.
"My mom is trying to convince me to stay. I can't leave her, but I might not have a choice. I haven't seen Frannie yet, but she's married. They're going to be apart of our family."
Santana looks at her, "Your family, you mean." She breaks out into a smile.
Quinn shoves her shoulder, playfully, "Oh shut up, it's you and me, remember." She points to the dog tags around her neck that were, in fact, Santana's. Santana wears a chain of a diamond ring she planning to give Quinn on it.
"You and me," Santana vows, smiling at Quinn. Quinn smiles brightly at Santana, before leaning up to kiss her on the cheek. Santana and Quinn have had many ups and downs, but they were magnets and always came back to each other. They weren't married or engaged for that matter, Santana is waiting for the right time, which she's slowly starting to realize is never.
Meanwhile, over with the Seed family, they watched the couple climbed into the Jeep, before pulling over. Judy walked off to find her oldest daughter.
"Do you believe they can be saved?" Faith asked Joseph.
Joseph nods, "It is the mother's wishes, so they have to be. I believe their hearts are heavy, but anyone can walk the path to salvation."
"I like Santana," Jacob speaks out. "However, I feel like she'll become a problem if anything happens to Quinn."
"We must do this strategically. They're already skeptical of us." Joseph assures them, "Faith, try to break down their guard, get them to trust you."
"Yes, Father."
"We'll deal with them after tonight's service," Joseph explained.
Santana walked downstairs to the Spreading Eagle searching for a drink. As soon as Quinn hit the bed, she fell asleep. Santana smiled at her girlfriend grabbing her other military jacket. Santana collapse in a stool in front of the bar.
"How can I help you, hun?" A lady with short blonde hair that stopped at her shoulders, she had blue eyes and she was dressed extremely casual.
"You pick, just something strong." Santana smiled at her. She watched as the blonde reached for Jack Daniel's. "Good choice."
The lady placed the shot in front of Santana, "You must be new, I haven't seen you around here before."
"My girlfriend and I are visiting her family." Santana takes the shot down it. "Santana Lopez." She held her hand out. Santana was starting to let her guard down, Mary May didn't give her the vibes the Seed family did.
"Mary May Fairgrave. I run this place, you and your girl just rent a room upstairs." The blonde filling up her glass again. "You in the military?" She gestures down to her jacket.
"Yes, thank you. I did not want to stay with her family." Santana breathes a sigh of relief. "The special forces."
"Special forces huh. How's that working for you?"
"Good, it pays extremely well. I can't complain." Santana smiles. "You up for a drink? My treat."
"Why not." She pours two more shots.
"Have you lived here your whole life?"
"Born and raised. My father loved this place, it used to be a good place. Everyone knew each other and it's was peaceful for the most part until they came."
"They?"
"The Seeds." Dread filled Santana again just thinking about the family. She couldn't shake the feeling things were going to get worse before it got better. "They came here and changed everything."
Recon, she needed to know what was happening. "What happened?"
"They started that cult with Joseph being the leader of it. They've been taking our people, taking our property."
"Has anyone tried to stop them?" Santana asked. She regrets not looking at the folder of documents about the cult, her unit was looking into.
"We've tried getting a resistance together but it's easy said than done." Santana nodded. "I just hope you get out before The Collapse happens."
The Collapse? "The collapse?"
"Something the Seed and the peggies have been going on about."
"Peggies."
"Peg for Project at Eden's Gate." Mary May explains. "They're the follows of that fucking family. You want another one?"
"Nah, I'm good. I'm gonna turn in for the night." Santana tells, "It was nice meeting you."
"Same. How long are you going to be in town?"
"A few days." But Santana was hoping to speed up that process by leaving tomorrow. She wanted to get Quinn far from here, things could take a turn for the worst. Santana wasn't going to have Quinn in danger if she could do something about it.
Mary May smiled, "Alright soldier."
Santana walked upstairs heading to her room. Santana opened the door to her hotel room and finds Quinn sitting against the headboard reading a book. Quinn smiled brightly pushing her book aside when she saw Santana. Santana throws the deadbolt on the door before joining Quinn.
"Where have you been?" Quinn asked her girlfriend. Santana crawls up to her kissing her. "You've been drinking."
"I only have three shots." Santana shrugs laying down on the bed. "What you reading?"
"Just Crime and Punishment. Why didn't you wake me?"
"You were sleeping."
"I woke up 10 minutes after you left." Quinn lays her head on Santana's shoulder, running her hand under Santana's shirt tracing her abs.
"I'm sorry, I needed a drink."
"It's okay." Quinn shrugged.
Santana sighs, "Q I think we should leave tomorrow."
"Why," Quinn asked looking at Santana.
"I was talking with the bartender and she gave me some insight into this place. Your mom and Frannie are apart of a cult. This has to be the place my team was deciding on whether or not to go investigate." Santana tells her. A few months ago, Santana's unit got an offer to take a mission against a cult somewhere in the northern states. Santana didn't look into it much because, at the time, she and Quinn were on vacation.
Quinn hummed, "You sure?" The blonde wasn't going to argue with Santana on it when Santana has a feeling about sometimes, 9 times out of 10 its accurate and she was kind of waiting for Santana to bring it up again.
"Yes." Santana pauses, "If you want to stay with your family I get that but I need you to be safe. I don't think it's safe here. I would say let's go now but I know the Seeds are watching us."
"Why do you think that?"
"I just have a feeling," Santana whispered.
Quinn goes to reply to her when two peggies kick in the door taking Quinn to Santana by surprise. Santana throws her weight on top of Quinn rolling them off the bed.
"Stay down." Santana reached for her bag searching for her gun, groaning when she didn't find it. She had to do this old fashion, one on one. Santana waited for one of the peggies to walk towards them. Santana kicked him in the knees take his legs out before kneeing him in the face.
Santana quickly grabbed the guy using him as a shield for the bullet flying towards her. The guy threw his gun to the side putting his fist up.
"Come on." He beckoned Santana closer. Santana put her fist up, swinging at him before dodging left and right missing two punches. Quinn who was still in the corner looked for anything to help. Santana missed a punch and got punched in the face. The guy thinking quick on his feet took the opportunity to grab Santana putting her into a chokehold. Santana tries to get out of the chokehold by slamming them against the wall but fails. Quinn thinks quickly grabbing a chair in the corner of the room and slamming it into the guy before kicking him in the crotch. The guy's grip loosens around Santana giving a chance to break free. Quinn moved to Santana who was coughing heavily.
"Are you okay?' Quinn asked. Santana glanced at the guy who was reaching for his gun, making it back to his feet.
"The gun, Q!" Santana shouts to her out of breath.
Quinn runs for the gun beating him by a second and shooting the guy two times in the chest. He falls to the floor with a thud. Just as Santana tries to reach for Quinn she sees Faith appear in the corner of the room. Faith doesn't speak just throwing a ball of green mist at Santana knocking her out like a light.
"Santana!" Quinn shouted as Santana passed out.
In the next chapter, I will explain more in-depth about the cult. Thank you for reading and until next time.
