Thunderstorms in Florida are cray and I was without internet for a week plus. So I literally wrote most of it on my phone here and there so my thumb muscles are super strong now. Also my work schedule has been cray I had to work like 10 and 11 hours some days and I'm on the shittiest shift at work. Despite all of that I worked really hard to try to get this chapter finished. So I appreciate all the reviews/follows/favs and all the people who read this story. I love you lots so thanks for hanging in there with me and my hiatus and bad editing cause I'm a lazy ass lol.

Part 1
"Brittany where are we going?"
"Shhh just follow me we are almost there."
Brittany grabs my hand and practically drags me down the stairs. I'm tripping over my own two feet and she is acting like we are trying to escape a fire or something. I notice how dark the room is becoming and the only light left is coming from the slight crack in the door. I'm starting to get kind of creeped out because it literally looks like we are descending into a dark abyss.
"Will slow down I can't see anything, and why is it so dark in here?
"San you're asking way too many questions just trust me okay." Britt replies.
I try to break free but damn she has a good grip on my arm and I can't get free. She is acting so strange, I wonder what has gotten into this girl. When we get to the bottom of the steps I stumble hard and if it wasn't for her holding me up I would be eating a face full of floor right now.
"Fuck! Brittany I almost bust my ass just now! What is so important that you had to drag me down here."
I hear her giggle and it pisses me off because she obviously thinks this is a game.
"Is this some kind of a joke? If so I would like to be let in on it." She just ignores me and drags me into the middle of the room.
"Just wait here San and I will be right back." Brittany tells me then turns and makes her way back towards the steps.
"Wait what do you mean wait here? Brittany you better not leave me down here!" I yell at her as she quickly walks past me and back up the stairs.
She gets halfway up the stairs and looks down at me sadly.
"I'm so sorry San but this needs to be done."
"Brittany you're acting super strange right now and it's scaring me."
"I'm not trying to scare you Santana, I'm just doing what's best for you." Brittany shrugs her shoulders and continue walking up the stairs.
I try to chase behind her but she is too fast and by time I get half way up the steps she slams the door shut taking the partial light with her. This has to be joke because Brittany would never leave me. I blindly continue to stumble up the stairs in a panic and when I finally reach the door it's locked.
I jiggle the door handle and push on the door as hard as I can and it still won't budge. I angrily start beating on the door and yelling like a mad woman.
"Open the god damn door Brittany! I don't find this funny one bit! I will never forgive you for this!" I scream as I continually pound on the door.
My arms are starting to burn and my fists are starting to ache due to the intensity that I am hitting the door. Finally realization hits me that she actually left me alone in the dark. I slide to the ground and rest my head against the door accepting my fate.
"Brittany!" I scream at the top of my lungs.
SANTANA POV
"Brittany!"
I jolt awake and the first thing that hits me is the repugnant smell of something decaying and I can't control the bile as it makes its way up my throat. I lean over and empty all of the contents out of my stomach then pinch my nose to keep from smelling the stench. My head is pounding and I can hear my blood rushing in my ears as I lean against the wall taking huge gulps of air through my mouth.
I refuse to breathe through my nose and I feel myself gag at the thought of that smell. It's pointless to try to survey my surroundings because it's so dark in here. To be honest I'm not even sure if this is another part of my nightmare or if I'm actually awake. Maybe if I pinch myself and feel pain I'll know I'm awake.
"Shit!" Yeah that hurt but what if I can feel pain in my dreams?
I think I'm awake though... oh my god what if I'm blind? That could be it and that's why I can't see anything. Like an answer to my prayer a small sliver of light shines through what appears to be the bottom of a door. Yes! I'm not blind but I have no idea where I am or how I even got here. I remember Quinn leaving and I thought she forgot something but came back, so I went down stairs to check it out.
Then I thought Brittany it was and... I let out a loud gasp as realize that it wasn't Brittany or Quinn in my house. I've been taken hostage! Those people Brittany warned me about must have found me. Oh my god where am I? What's the place Brittany mentioned a few times? Come on Santana think... oh I know, The Pits! It definitely smells worst than what she described and to think she had to spend most of her life living like this. My heart literally aches thinking about Brittany and the hell she must have gone through.
I haven't seen the outside yet and I just know that this place is the devil's mansion. The smell aside it has to be a million degrees right now I'm sweating by the gallons. I'm so grateful that Britt finally got out of this place and I can see why she never wanted to come back. Wait a minute does that mean that she won't even comeback for me? A part of me believes that she knows I'm here and is killing every evil thing that stands in her way, but there is also a little part of me that thinks she is long gone by now.
I know she thought leaving me was the best thing to do and it probably was but the selfish part of me is angry that she left me. Can you blame though look what happened, I just wish she would have stayed. I hug my knees tightly to my chest and bury my face in my lap.
"Why did you leave me?" I whisper sadly into the darkness as tears fall from my eyes.
BRITTANY POV
"Why did I leave her?" I whisper sadly while looking out the window.
Rock and I have been on this long and treacherous journey for what seems like forever. In reality it has been a whole day since Santana has been taken and we still haven't reached the Pits yet. We started out on foot but I quickly realized that there is an invention called a car that we could use. So Rock and I jacked this bad ass Range Rover and which I totally felt bad about but I need it to go get my lady... well Santana.
I figured the whole driving thing would be a human task I could easily conquer but I was definitely wrong. I almost ran us off the road and I kept making the jeep do these jerky movements by accelerating then breaking immediately afterwards. I was definitely embarrassed by this, but Santana made driving look so easy. Lucky for the both of us Rock was a way better driver than I am.
Maybe it's best that he is driving anyways because I probably would have floored the gas pedal the whole way to the Pits. That wouldn't be good because it seems that there are laws and a thing called a speed limit. Which is stupid because this is an emergency so why limit my speed? Rock tried to explain it to me but I still think it's a bunch of bullshit.
So here I am sitting in the passenger seat looking out the window and feeling sorry for myself and worried sick for Santana. Every second that goes by I'm becoming that much more of a nervous wreck. My thoughts have all been flooded of her and I'm barely keeping it together. If I don't receive at least one sign of hope I'm going to lose it.
"You're thinking way too much Blue and I can practically hear everything that's how loud your thoughts are. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, you did what was necessary to keep her safe-
"Yeah but I didn't keep her safe they took her and it's all my fault." I say cutting off Rock.
"The most important thing is your going to get your girl so no worries." Rock says casually.
"You damn right I am and besides if I didn't I would never be able to live with myself plus Quinn will definitely hunt me down and skin me alive." I say.
"Oh yeah that Quinn girl was super scary earlier." Rock says cringing at the encounter earlier.
Flashback
"She what? Brittany how could you let this happen?!"
"Quinn I-
"No B I don't want to hear any excuses get your ass up now and go get my best friend!" Quinn yells angrily.
"Wait a minute this isn't all Blue's fault." Rock interjects.
Quinn gives him an evil glare and he must admit it kind of frightened him a bit.
"Do I look like I give a flying fuck who fault it is? All I know is my best friend better get back here in alive, in one piece, and unharmed. If she doesn't there will be hell to pay! Am I making myself clear?"
Brittany and Rock fly to their feet and nod their heads furiously in agreement. Angry Quinn was quite a scary site and even though they knew Quinn couldn't hurt the both them they still didn't want to stay and find out her wrath.
"I will get her back Quinn even if I have to die trying." Brittany says with conviction.
"I know you will B but try to safe as well." Quinn says then sighs. She knew Brittany would get Santana back even if it mean sacrificing her self to do so. Quinn hugs Brittany tightly and says a silent prayer for her friends.
Brittany just nods then steps out of Quinn's embrace and heads towards the door with Rock following closely behind her. They both take a deep breath before opening the door and heading out on this long and treacherous journey.
End Flashback
"Quinn has every right to be mad because I totally screwed up. Santana will never forgive me but the least I can do is go and rescue her. She doesn't deserve any of this and I have already messed up her life enough. So as soon as I accomplish this I'm out of her life for good, before I ruin it any more than I already have." I say sadly.
"You didn't screw up her life."
I give Rock a pointed look.
"Look she is very lucky lady to have you come crashing into her life and to have someone like you care this much about her." Rocks says.
"That's very sweet of you to say but I can't help but think how unlucky she is to be put in this situation." I respond.
"I've learned a long time ago that things happen for a reason. This is just one of those times where fate has stepped in and I believe that things will work for the best." Rock says with the shrug of his shoulder.
"How can you be so sure? How can you just believe in fate like that?" I ask sceptically.
"I don't believe in fate but I do believe in you. I believe that your so determined and so damn stubborn that you will make fate work in your favor. You've been through so much hell in your life and you finally found a good thing in Santana. This is just an obstacle and since good things don't normally happen to us we need to fight like hell for it." Rock explains.
"I noticed you said we need to fight." I tease him giving him a small smile.
"Yeah I'm going to help you get the love of your life back. I must admit at first I thought you two together was disgusting."
I let out a gasp and give him a shocked look.
"No it's not like that. I don't care that you are two girls I thought it was disgusting that you had went all soft but I was wrong about that. It takes a lot of strength to not be selfish and put your own fears and needs aside for someone you love." Rock simply replies.
My face break out into a huge grin.
"Awww Rock you keep on talking like this you're going to make think that you care about me." I tease him.
I can tell that I just embarrassed him. I see his face turn kind of red and he rubs his neck awkwardly.
"I um do... care about you Brittany you're like the sister I never had." Rock admits.
"You called me Brittany and you say you care about me. Aw look at you showing your feelings." I tease him even more and nudge his shoulder.
"Oh shut up! I knew I shouldn't have told you that and now you're making me regret it." Rock groans.
"Okay I'll stop."
After a moment has passed I decide to ask him something I have always wondered about.
"So hey what's your real name or is it just Rock?" I ask.
"Uh no Rock is not my real name it's actually Brandon." Rock admits.
"Brandon... I like it." I say
"Well I'm glad someone does cause that name is terrible. Rock is so badass and Brandon is just... wrong." He says with a smirk.
"If you say so." I respond
As soon as I say this I see Rock turn off the road down a narrow path.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"We are almost to the Pits but we are going to enter through the side entrance so we have to come up through Molasses forest and we must go by foot." Rock says.
"Why can't we go through the front? I plan on killing everything that has touched or looked at Santana anyways and that's including my bitch of a mother." I say with conviction.
"Well for one that's just suicide to try to barge straight through the front door and second the Pits is technically sitting on a cliff so the side door it is. Unless you have a boat and some climbing equipment with you? If not I think our chances will be better going through the side door." Rock explains.
"Yeah I get that but wait how did we get here so fast? I don't remember falling asleep at any point." I ask curiously because even though it has been a full day it usually takes at least two days to get there or so I'm told.
"Oh that's because I drugged you." Rock says casually with the shrug of his shoulders.
"What the fuck Brandon?!" I slap his shoulder super hard.
"Hey! Stop the violence Brittany." Rock responds.
"You bastard! When did you drug me? How did you drug me?" I ask angrily.
"When we stopped at the gas station and you went in and got that nasty hot dog which by the way I wouldn't have eaten and you also got that big guzzler drink. I may have put something in it when you weren't looking." Rock says guiltily.
I let out a loud gasp because I knew it tasted a little weird but I thought it was just me.
"I knew it tasted strange, you asshole!" I yell hitting him again.
"Look I'm sorry Blue but you were so pitiful and it looks like you were on the verge of completely losing it. I just wanted to give you something that would calm you down and make sure you got some sleep. You need to be focused and well rested for this mission we are about to embark on." Rock explains.
"Fine. It's already been done but if you ever drug me again I will cut your balls off. Got it?"
I see Rock cringe at my threat.
"Yeah, yeah it won't happen again." Rock says.
"Good." I say just to get the last word in.
As we pull up to the edge of the forest I notice how dark and creepy it looks. Rock brings the car to a halt and looks over at me.
"Are you ready Blue?" I hear him ask.
"No... but I'm going anyway." I say.
We begin to get out of the car and Rock goes to the back seat to get some weapons he brought. He tries to hand me a sword but I don't accept.
"You know I don't use weapons." I remind him.
"Yeah I know but to get through this forest you're going to need something trust me."
For some reason I went against what I normally do and took the sword. As we begin to make I way towards the forest everything in my body screams that danger lies ahead. I push down that fear and together Rock and I enter the forest.
SANTANA POV
After what seems like forever I have finally managed to stop crying. I think the fact that I no longer can breathe out my nose and the slight headache that I have tells me it's time to dry my tears.
"What have you gotten yourself into Santana. Out of all the trouble you have gotten into over the years this definitely takes the cake. Next time I accidentally almost kill someone I'm not stopping to help them." I say aloud.
"Do you make it a habit of talking to yourself?" A small voice says.
My body immediately stiffens when I realize that someone else is in here. Oh my god I never even thought that I might not be alone. Oh my god what if a rapist or serial killer is in here with me.
"Who's there?"
After I get no response I strain my eyes to see but can't make out anything. A few moments later I hear shuffling as if something was coming closer.
"Who ever you are don't come any closer or I will be forced to take action."
Oh great Santana way to sound super badass I think while mentally slap myself.
The shuffling continues and it's getting closer and closer. I back up until my back hits the wall and think this is it whatever is coming close to me is going to kill me. I close my eyes and wait for my fate and within seconds I could feel cold air hitting my face as if someone was blowing or breathing on me.
Okay Santana no time to be a pussy whoever this is you can kick their ass or at least go out trying. After my little pep talk I slowly open my eyes and let out a gasp when I see tiny blue ones staring back at me.
"Boo!"
I think I shock myself and those tiny blues eyes when I burst into tears and cry even harder than before. It's just that this moment reminds me of Brittany's horrible attempt at scaring me the night of the accident. I remember how she startled me and I punched her in the face. God I missed that face... I missed her.
"Hey please don't cry I didn't mean to break you, It was just a stupid joke."
I hear the tiny voice say to me.
"Y-you didn't b-break me, you just reminded m-me of someone all." I say through my tears.
"Who is it?"
Geeze this kid is nosy but I need someone that's not biased to talk to too.
"Her name is Brittany." I reply.
"We had an assassin here named Brittany too but everybody called her Blue. She was so awesome but I haven't seen her in a while I hope she is okay." Bails tell.
So much for an unbiased conversation. Brittany apparently has everyone wrapped around her fingers but I don't blame them the girl is just that amazing. Also like Bails I hope she is ok and hopefully she is looking for me. My thoughts get interrupted by a small hand being thrust in my face.
"My name is Bailey but everyone calls me Bails whats your name?"
"My name is Santana." I say shaking his tiny frail hand.
"Are you a human because you smell human? That would be so cool cause I never met an actual human before. See I'm only ten and I'm not allowed out into the human world yet. I have to wait until I'm at least sixteen to go on missions but at least I'm not a girl I would have to wait until I'm eighteen. I hate the stupid rules that they have here, I'm not allowed to do anything." Bailey rambles out.
"Uh yeah I am human." I reply kind of amused by this kid's rambling.
"What's it like?" He asks.
"What's what like?" I ask confused.
"You know, what's it like to be weak and useless?"
"Excuse me I am not weak and useless." I argue.
"Well you're human so yeah you kind of are." He shoots back.
"What's it like to have a girl's name?" I retort back.
"Hey I don't have a girl's name! I'm a man thank you!"
"If you say so Bailey." I pronounce his name in a cute girly voice.
Even though its quite dark I swear I can see his little pout. This kid reminds me so much of Brittany its insane.
"You're kind of a meanie." Bailey says.
"Nuh uh." I say teasingly.
"Yeah huh." he replies.
I like this little kid I wonder if he can answer a few questions for me.
"So Bails can I ask you something?"
"You just did." He responds.
Okay smartass I think as I roll my eyes in the dark.
"I saw that." He says.
"How did you see that?" I ask.
"I have night vision duh. All of us Sambiens do it allows us to see in the dark."
So that means Brittany must have it to no wonder her eyes were glowing the night of the accident.
"Bails do you know how long I have been here?"
"No I don't know I got thrown in here this morning for being disobe- not listening and you were already in here but I thought you were dead like the others."
"Wait dead like the others? What do you mean by that?" I ask as fear rises in my body.
"Yeah this is where they normally dump the ones who didn't make it and they throw us down here with them as punishment." Bails explains.
"Oh my god there are dead people down here?" I ask in a panic.
"Well normally there are but I guess they must have cleaned up the place for you."
"If this is cleaning up here the place I hate to see it when it's dirty but I'm so glad I'm not down here with anything dead." I say the let out a sigh of relief.
"Nope just me and you." Bails replies.
"Hey Bails do you know how to get out of this place?"
Maybe this kid could help me sneak pass the guards and find a way to escape.
"Why are you trying to escape?" Bails ask me.
This kid is too smart for his own good.
"Yeah I can't stay in this place they will kill me." I tell him.
"I can help you on one condition."
"Sure what's that?"
At this point I'm willing to negotiate just about anything to get out of this hell hole.
"Take me with you." Bails says.
Now I definitely didn't expect that. I can't promise to take this kid with me, first of all that would be kidnapping and second he probably have parents somewhere who care about him.
"I know what you're thinking but please take me with you. You won't even have to worry about taking care of me or anything." Bails pleads.
"Look kid I-
Before I could finish my sentence the lights came on in the room. For the first time I am able to see Bails clearly and I suck in my breath as I take in his appearance. He looks underweight for a kid his age, he has dirt smudges all over him, his golden curls looked matted and dingy, his clothes are worn, and I can see slight bruises on his face an arms. I definitely can tell that this kid is being abused. Despite all of that there is a sense of familiarity about him he looks like a mix of Dennis the Menace and... Brittany.
"Please you have to help me. The guard is coming soon and with your help we both can take him." Bails says urgently.
I know I shouldn't make this promise but I can't just leave him here and he can help us both us escape.
"Okay Bails you've got yourself a deal. So what's the plan?"
"Okay the guard that's coming is a bit slow so I'm going to bait him and when he turns his attention on me you're going to kick him in his berries so that he will bend over, then I will simply snap his neck and we will be out for at least thirty minutes. This will give us enough time to sneak to the secret staircase that leads to the side door. Once we get there we are going to make a run for Molasses forest and we will figure out the rest there as we go. Okay so are you ready to set this plan in motion?"
I take in everything Bails just said and its clear that this kid has thought of escaping before.
"I'm ready and are you sure this plan will work?" I ask him.
"I'm almost positive unless you have a better plan?" Bails ask.
"Your plan it is." I agree.
"Okay I hear the guard coming now so pretend like you are asleep." He instructs me.
I hear heavy foot steps getting closer and closer to the door. My hearts starts to beat extra hard from anticipation and the adrenaline. The heavy foot steps stop just right outside the door and when the door slow creaks open I knew it was time to set our plan in motion.
Part 2
(Rock and Brittany are currently walking through Molasses forest. It's really dark and gives off this eerie feeling. The trees are all dead but yet they seem like they are alive thanks to the wind that is blowing their fragile limbs. The forest floor is covered in a blanket of fog and they can barely make out their feet even with their night vision on. There are creepy sounds that are echoing all around them and they are definitely not the only ones in the forest.)
BRITTANY POV
"I never knew this forest was this creepy."
"Yeah I'm not going to lie I'm kind of scared."
"I always use to see it from the sparring arena but I didn't dare attempt to come out here."
(Sounds of tree branches breaking and some something shuffling against the ground.)
"Did you just hear that?"
"The only thing I hear is your heart about to beat out your chest so calm down."
(another loud thud)
"No seriously I'm not joking I think I heard something."
"You're just being paranoid."
This time we both hear a loud noise as if someone is coming closer. We can hear the heavy thuds and the sounds of sticks breaking from being stepped on.
"Ah! Get off me!"
I click on the flashlight that Rock brought and shine it in his face.
"Will you get off me? You're a grown ass man yet here I am carrying you like a scared baby in my arms." I say scolding him.
"Sorry it's just the adrenaline that's all." Rock says then climbs out of my arms and dust himself off trying to salvage the rest of his pride.
"I can't believe you just did that I'm never going to let you live that down." I tease him.
"Oh come on give me a break. Don't act like you weren't about to shit your pants." Rock retorts.
"I was freaked but I didn't turn into a wuss like you."
"Leave me alone okay." Rock says sternly.
"Weave me awone." I mock him in a baby voice.
"Oh come on what are you two?" Rock can't believe Blue's antics.
"Maybe I am." I say and stick my tongue out at him.
As soon as I do this the flashlight blinks on and off a few times then dies.
"Shit. Did you make sure there were new batteries in here?" I ask.
"No but it's no biggie we will just use our night vision from here on out." Rock replies.
"Rock next time we go on a mission I'm going to make sure I pack the supplies."
"Blue if you think you can do a better job then please be my guess."
(Several foot steps are heard throughout the forest and seem to be getting closer.)
Rock grabs my hand and pulls me closer to him.
"Stay close to me. It looks like the Queen B has sent out our fellow assassins to take care of us." Rock tells me.
"It's nothing we can't handle." I reply confidently.
The foot steps seem like they have doubled in numbers and are approaching us fast. We stand back to back so we can have two view points and it will help us when they have to take them on.
(The foot steps are getting faster and faster then suddenly they come to a sudden forest is completely dark and silent except for two pairs of blue eyes and thundering heartbeats coming from both Rock and Brittany.)
All of a sudden the forest lights up by different shades of eyes. Rock and I can see that standing in front of us are five assassins, ready to go on the attack.
"Oh hey guys it's nice to see you again." I say trying to break the tension.
"What are you doing Blue?" Rock hisses at me.
"Just follow my lead okay." I tell him through gritted teeth.
"So this is a nice little reunion huh." I continue but get no response.
"Oh come on I know you guys missed me. I was the favorite you know."
I smirk when I hear several of them make growl. Yeah that's it get pissed that's what I want you to do.
"I see that there only five of you and that's definitely not fair. You're going to need at least five for more you to make this a fair fight." I egg them on.
"Are you trying to piss them off? If so I think it's working." Rock whispers angrily.
"The best offense is defense, I want them to be so pissed that they go on the attack. So they will be vulnerable and leave themselves open for us to take them down one by one... together." I reassure him.
"That's genius." Rock replies.
"Yeah I know. How do you think I beat your ass last time?" I say with a smirk.
"Okay guys and girls listen up this is how it's going to go down. Me and my boy Rock here are going to kill you all and this is your last chance to walk away before that happens." I announce.
After no one budges I figure I'd hit them where it hurts.
"So no takers I see. That's cool and since I have beat every last one of you before it shouldn't be hard to beat you again especially since I have Rock with me." I tell them.
That's the trigger that does it as five pairs of eyes all rush towards us.
"What now they are coming at us full speed!" Rock says in a panic.
"RUN!" I yell and strike off running.
Rock is stunned at first but quickly follows suit.
"This was your brilliant plan? To stir them up then haul ass, are you fucking kidding me?!" Rock yells in disbelief.
"No we are going to split up and take them out one by one. You go left and I will go right then we will circle back." I explain.
Rock nods his agreement then takes off left as I go right and sure enough the assassin split up in search for the two of us.
As I'm running I hear several foot steps gaining on me and I know that I need to ditch these losers. I quickly toss my sword aside and survey the area for a place to hide and a brilliant idea pops into my head. I run full speed then use all my strength to leap up and catch hold of a branch. I swing myself back and forth a few times just to gain enough momentum then on the last swing I flip myself up in the air and land gracefully on my feet on the same branch. I realize that I could have just climbed up the tree but come on how bad ass was I just now. Once I steady myself I carefully shuffle along the tree branch until my shoulder comes in contact with the tree trunk.
I shuffle my body close as possible and hug the tree trunk tightly as possible trying to blend in with the darkness. As soon as I get positioned I hear three of the assassins whiz right past the tree I'm on. The assassin that is trailing behind stops when he notices the sword that I dropped and bends down to picks it up. He then stands back up with his back facing me and surveys the sword. He falls right into my trap and its exactly what I wanted him to do. I bend my knees and take a giant leap off the tree branch estimating the distance perfectly. The assassin has no idea what hits him when my arms wrap around his neck and my legs are around his waist.
The momentum from the impact of my jump makes us stumble forward and suddenly we are falling to the ground. I definitely didn't think about this part but that's okay because I snap his neck before we even hit the ground. We take a hard tumble to the ground and I simply just roll off his lifeless body. One of other assassin finally notice what has happened and charges straight at me. I scramble over to the the sword in time enough to grasp it. I stand to my feet, lift the sword and takes a hard swing. I close my eyes as the sound of the assassins body hitting the ground rings in my ear. I toss the sword to the ground and wipe off my hands and I am reminded why I don't like to use weapons.
I turn to and see the third assassin staring at me with wide eyes and I give her a hard glare and she takes off running in the opposite direction. I take off myself to go find Rock and I wonder how he is doing with the others.
When I walk up on the scene I almost want to laugh because Rock looks like a punching bag in the gym. One is holding him and the other is throwing the punches and just as I'm about to help him out I see Rock go into total kick ass mode. He manages to kick the assassin in front of him square in the chest and he goes flying back then he digs his nails into the other assassin's forearm that is around his neck. He grips it tightly then pulls his neck free from the hold and flips the assassin over his shoulder onto the ground. While still holding onto his arm Rock places his foot down hard on the assassin's head then yanks his arm back harshly.
Rock let's go of the arm that he is holding, and looks over to the last assassin then back at me.
"I can take this last asshole you go ahead to the Pits and I will be right behind you." Rock tells me.
"Are you sure?" I ask.
"Yeah now go and get your girl."
Rock didn't have to tell me twice I run full speed towards the Pits
SANTANA POV
The door slowly creeks open and a large man enters and heads straight towards me.
"Hey fatso!"
The guard turns around walks over to Bails and hit him so hard it sends his tiny body flying into the wall.
I become so enrage I run and arm bar him in the guard crotch and he immediately doubles over in pain. I see Bails tiny body moving like lightning speed knocking the guard out cold. I look away as his huge body drops to the ground. This is our opportunity to make a run for it so I grab Bails by the hand and we slowly creep out the door and down the corridor. We are about to make it to the end of the halfway when I feel Bails tug me into a tiny closet that's in the hallway.
I'm about to ask him why we are in a closet but he put his hands to his lips quieting me. As soon as he does this I hear voices and it sounds like they are walking past us. As soon as the voices disappear I see Bails crack the door slightly and peak to see if the coast is clear. When the coast is clear he signals for me to follow him down the halfway.
This time we are moving at a faster pace down the corridor like there is someone that is chasing us. We finally make it the staircase and I look down and see that it is a winding one. It's going to be difficult to manuever down this staircase especially with little light. Bails must sense my hesitation because he holds his hand out for me to take. I grasp his hand in my own and we make our way down the stairs carefully but as quick as we can.
My heart is beating so fast from the fear of being caught. I really want us to make it out of here safely and I send up a silent prayer.
"We're almost to the bottom of the stairs." Bails announces.
I look and see the last of the spiral staircase and at the end of the staircase is a hallway leading to a big wooden door. Bails is the first to make it off the steps and he proceeds cautiously with me trailing behind him. He stops and looks both ways then continue walking at a brisk pace. Once we make it to the door he turns the nobs and see that it's locked.
"It's no biggie, stand back."
I do as he tells me to do and take a few steps back and watch as he kicks the door knob with so much force he breaks it. There is a hole where the door knob use to be and I see him bend his little head out and take a peek.
"It looks like the coast is clear so when I open the door we are going to make a run for it." He tells me.
I just give him a nod and mentally prep myself for this journey. I watch as Bails yank open the door and the cool breeze of the night hits us. Finally some fresh air to kill this sickening smell. Bails grabs my hand and we start to run out the door but as soon as my feet touched solid ground I feel my head being yanked back violently.
"Where do you think you're going bitch?" An angry voice snarls at me.
I feel myself fly back into a huge body and two arms grip me in a crushing hold. I can hardly breathe that's how tight the grip is. I see Bails run back towards me but I stop him because one of us has to make it out of here.
"No! Keep running Bails you have to get out of here." I say while struggling to free myself.
"I can't just leave you here." He says sadly.
"I need you to go and find Brittany she will rescue me." After I see him hesitate I yell with even more force.
"Go. Now!"
He gives me an unsure look then takes off and head towards the forest. I feel arms tighten around me squeezing me even harder so I lean my head down and bite my capture as hard as I can. I obviously didn't think he would drop me which was a mistake on my part. I fall hard to the concrete floor with a grunt and I look down and see that I have busted up my elbow.
"Stupid bitch! You bit me!"
"Yeah asshole you should learn how to treat a lady!"
He gives me a vicious snarl then grips me roughly by my hair and drags me down the hallway. The whole time I am clawing at his arms trying to get him to loosen the grip on my head but he just grips it even harder. I eventually stop fighting and he continues to drag me like I was a rag doll. When we round a corner my body slams into the edge of it and turns me on my side, but he just yank my hair for me to straighten myself, and continues down the hallway.
After what seems like forever we stop at this big brass door. He knocks on it three times before hearing someone say enter. He opens the door and literally throws me into the dark room after a few moments of silence lights began to flicker on all over the room. The lights are blinding at first and I squint my eyes waiting for them to adjust. When my eyes finally get use to the light I am shocked to see who is standing over me
Brittany POV
I'm running through the forest as fast as my legs can carry me. Some of the limbs from the trees are stinging against my skin as I go by them leaving welts. It's a good thing that I heal easily, if I this would be an ugly sight. I feel my lungs began to burn at the intensity that they are being used but I don't care, I would rather run out of breath than to stop. I continue running with stealth and grace jumping over some of the falling branches. I can feel some of the nocturnal animals eyeing me curiously as if I am some fool running wild through their home. Well I sort of am and I won't let anything detour me from my path.
"Oof."
Something comes plowing into me and it send me flying a few feet back and I land hard on my ass. I jump up in rage cause whoever just plowed into me was going to die. I spy the figure and I angrily make my way over to it and as I get closer I see what appears to be a kid slump over at the bottom of a tree. He must have made impact with the tree and here I am complaining about a bump on the.
"Hey kid you okay?" I call out to him.
I see the kid start to stir and come back around, he must have taken the brunt end of the collision.
"Yeah I'm fine... Whoa you're "The Blue" he says in awe.
"Ummm yeah I guess I am?" I respond a bit confused.
"You're a legend!" He tells me with excitement.
"I'm definitely not a legend." I argue.
"You totally are especially amongst the youngsters. We all want to be just like the legendary Blue who slays anything that gets in her way, if you cross her wrong you have to pay." He quotes in a booming voice like they would do in a trailer for an epic movie.
"What's your name kid?" I say with a chuckle.
He stands up in a hurry and brushes himself off, fixes his hair, then sticks his hand out with a beaming smile.
"The name is Bailey but everyone calls me Bails for short." He responds proudly.
"Well Bails you can call me Brittany and I'm definitely not a legend so don't refer to me as such. There will be no glamorizing or honoring killing in my presence no matter what the circumstances are. Got it?" I say sternly.
Bails nods his head frantically in agreement.
"Okay good now Bails do you think you can show me where the Pits is?"
"Oh yea I almost forgot! Santana wanted me to come and find you." He says as if it's nothing.
"Wait you have seen Santana? How is she? Is she okay? Did they hurt her? How did she look to you? Is she- "
"Brittany! She is okay for now but if we don't hurry she won't be!" Bails yells at me snapping me out of my panic.
He doesn't have to tell me twice I grab his hand and we are off running to get Santana.
"Well, well, well aren't you a pretty one."
I let out a gasp as I take in the woman before me. She is without a doubt Brittany's mother they have the same piercing blue eyes, golden blonde hair, and the same tall and slender body type. They could practically be twins if wasn't for the age difference and the fact that her mom is a she devil.
"Since you obviously know who I am and I definitely know who you are we can skip the pleasant introductions. Now tell me where my daughter is." The she says to me in a sickeningly sweet voice.
"I don't know where Brittany is and even if I did I definitely wouldn't tell you." I snap back.
"My darling Blue did good choosing you... well the best you could do for a human. You're a feisty one I like it but also very stupid, now tell me where she is and I might think about not killing you."
Brittany's mother gives me the same menacingly look that I have seen Brittany use a few time so by now I'm immune to it. I just turn my head and fold my arms against my chest refusing to acknowledge her.
She bends down and roughly grabs my face, turns it back facing her and sneers down at me. I see fire in those eyes and they have turned a darker shade of blue due to the rage.
"You worthless little bitch. You will look at me when I am talking and you will answer me when I speak to you!" She yells in my face.
That sounded just like something my mother would say to me... well besides the worthless little bitch part. It's obvious that this nut job has serious control issues too bad for her I never been one you could just control.
"Fuck. You." I grit out.
This made her snap because she picked me up by my throat and my body just dangled as if I weighed nothing. I clutched at her arms as my oxygen supply was becoming limited and tears sprang to my eyes. This sick bitch was getting major enjoyment out of me struggling. Then all of a sudden she dropped me and I really had no time to brace myself do I fell awkwardly on my hand. Sharp pain shot through me and my hand is pounding as I cradle it to myself. I didn't have time to check and see if it was broken before she grips my hair and drags me to the middle of the room.
"You think you're so special to Brittany don't you? Well you're wrong sweetie, for some reason my daughter has taken interest in you but I see pass all of that. You're nothing but a useless whore and you have nothing to offer my baby girl but a moment of pleasure. So don't get your hopes up sweetheart because my daughter is a runner and the first chance she gets she is going to leave you and never come back... oh wait she already did."
I'm not going to lie that last comment about Brittany leaving me hurt and I can't stop the fresh tears that spring to my eyes. I refuse to let them drop but it's proving to be a hard task.
"Looks like I struck a nerve but don't take it personally sweetheart I feel your pain. It's just in her DNA her father was a runner as well." Brittany's mom says casually.
"It's true Brittany did leave me but it's not for the reason she left you. You're an evil old hag who is miserable and wants everyone to suffer with you. You're not mad because people leave you, you're mad that they have the choice to leave while with yourself."
This comment earns me a back hand slap so hard that I am sent sliding right into a dresser. The contents of that dresser comes flying down all around me. I wipe the blood off with my lips then I see her charging straight at me so I grab the closest thing I can and strike her in the face with it. It happens to be a small lamp but it's good enough to do damage because she stumbles back and clutches her face. I waste no time and sprint towards the door as fast as I can.
I almost make it to the door I feel my self being yanked backwards by my hair and thrown against the wall. I hit the wall so hard that it knocks the wind straight out of me and leave me gasping for air for the second time. She grips me by the collar of my shirt and my eyes widen when I see her pull out a knife and put it against my throat.
"You know Santana I actually don't hate you but you let your heart weaken you but I can fix that for you, I'll just cut it out." The bitch tells me but at this point I don't even care.
Brittany took my heart with her when she left at least I know it will live on once I'm gone. I have nothing to lose because I lost the one person that was my everything.
"Go ahead and do it!" I turn my head to give her more access.
"Kill me! I scream and I think it may have shocked her.
"How sad of a person you are. You'd rather make your own daughter miserable with you instead freeing her and letting her live life. Brittany finally has someone who will love her for who she really is and not this stupid Blue shit. If you take that away from her she will never forgive you for that. You're not killing me because I won't tell you were your precious baby girl is at. You're envious because she loves me and that something that she will NEVER have for you."
I see true sadness in Brittany's mother eyes and I immediately regret saying it. This woman was lonely and behind all the evil and rage she just needs someone to love her unconditionally and be by her side even at her worse. I truly did feel sorry for her but then again she brought a lot of this on herself.
The knife is removed from my neck and the grip on my shirt loosens but before I even have the time to take my next breath I see the door flying off the hinges. Standing in the doorway is a very pissed off looking Brittany. I've seen her mad before but this was a whole new level. Looks like Blue was in town and I would have the biggest smile on my face but my lip hurt. Her eyes go a shade darker when she witness the scene before her.
"If it's me that you want, it's me that's what you're going to get." Brittany announces as she storms forward.
I'm working on the next chapter so I hope to have it to you soon. Next chapter will be the big reveal. Brittany and her mom will have a not so nice mother and daughter chat. Brittany will learn what happened to her father, and she might have a lot more in common with Rock than she thinks. Also she will be kicking ass and taking names for her girl Santana. I will try to have the next chapter up sooner. Thank you for reading!
