Update woo! Lol on a serious note 2014 is over and definitely not one of the best years that I've had so I want to start off this year right and that includes finishing up this story. I honestly stopped writing this story partly due to laziness, working on other writing projects, and I have been going back and forth from where I am now to living in Orlando. So I've been living life and trying to be happy you know.
How is everyone doing? Happy New Year, Happy Brittanuary, and Happy Birthday to meeee, my fellow Capricorns, and all January babies! :D
With that being said here is an update and I hope everyone is still hanging in there with me.
TRIGGER WARNING! - There will be an opening scene that will imply the attempt of a sexual assault but it won't be graphic I promise. I just wanted to put this warning because I know its a sensitive subject.
There will graphic violence and language.
I do not own Glee
(Previously on STAHTM: Brittany's mother invites the whole gang to an awkward dinner and like expected everything goes terribly wrong. From Brittany suspecting her mother of trying to poison Santana, to the shocking reveal that Bails is actually the love child of Rock and Rayne. Things get even worse as Bails storm out of the room and all hell breaks loose. This leave Brittany to battle many opponents in an epic showdown with her mother. When it looks like Brittany is going to be defeated by the evil witch, Santana comes in wailing a frying pan and saves the day. So now we pick up where we left off.) ;)
("Brittany!")
"Choose your weapon!"
"Really guy? After all these years you should know by now that I don't use weapons." I say side stepping the guard and entering the arena.
I size up my opponent and roll my eyes dramatically when I see who I'm up against. Some puny runt of a kid who barely looks fourteen, and from the paleness of his face might pass out at any time.
"Okay let's just get this over with, I need a nap."
The kid before me choose the bo staff as his weapon and by the way he's holding it I can tell he is an amateur. Here I am sixteen years old still stuck in this crappy place and not allowed to go on missions. Any boy my age would have been out in the real world by now, but I'm a girl so I have to wait another two years. I think its complete bullshit because I'm better than every assassin here and keeping me here is only stunting my growth as an assassin.
So here I am, not about to break a sweat beating up this poor kid.
"Remember the rules, the first person-
"Into submission loses, blah, blah, blah. I got it let's just get on with it already." I say with a slight annoyance.
"Fight!"
The kid begins to hesitantly walk towards me and the closer he gets I can see that his body is literally shaking with fear. It makes me feel really bad for him because he obviously is no where near ready for missions.
"Is this your first spar?" I ask.
"N-no but I've lost every fight and my opponents were no where near as skilled as you."
"Thanks for the compliment but you will lose this one too. However I will give you a few pointers to help you with your next fight. So show me what you got."
"Okay."
I watch as he wildly swings the bo staff at me and I almost laugh at how terrible his posture is but I manage to keep my composure. I simply just dodge the swing and give him a gentle push. Due to his poor balance he loses control of his body and comically falls to the ground.
"Your balance is terrible. Spread your legs for a wider stance and try to distribute you weight evenly. When you swing use your waist to guide you and follow through with your body. Never swing with just your arms you will lose your balance every time . Now let's try it again." I advise him.
We keep sparring for a while, well more like me teaching him everything and by the time I make him submit he is ten times better than he was.
"You did great, just keep working on what I told you and you will surely win your next fight."
"Thanks Blue!"
I watch as he excitedly grabs his staff and run off. The way he reacted you would think he actually won the fight. I chuckle to myself and begin to head back to my living quarters.
The entire time that I'be been walking back to my room I felt an eerie vibe like I'm being watched. It's starting to creep me out so I begin to speed walk, and as soon as I turn the corner I run into someone.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you there." A deep voice says to me.
I look up to see an older guy maybe in his early forties and I would say that he is fairly attractive if it wasn't for the major creep factor radiating off of him. Never the less, what is his old ass doing here just stalking in the shadows? He is by far the oldest person I have seen around here in a long time.
"Uh yeah it's no problem." I say slowly getting up.
"Here let me help you."
The minute this guy touches my arm I feel a bad vibe wash over me. I politely but forcefully shrug his hand off of my arm and take a step back gaining my composure. I then try to step past him but he takes a step in my path stopping me. Once again I try to step the other way and like before he steps in my path.
"Where are you off to in a hurry?"
"To my room now if you would be so kind to move out of the way." I say with a bit of bite in my voice.
I watch as he hold his hands up in surrender and move out of the way giving me a clear view to my room. I quickly shuffle past him and make a beeline to my door. As soon as I reach my room I open my door and hurriedly go inside but before I can close my door a hand stops it. The strange guy muscles his way through and I stumble back in shock.
"Y-you can't be in here." I say in a voice so unfamiliar to me.
It's the first time in years since I've actually felt any kind of uneasiness.
"You see that's where you're wrong my darling Blue. I can be anywhere I want in this place." He says with a sly smile on his face.
"Get out now or I'll..."
"You'll what?" He calls my bluff knowing that it will fall flat.
"Look Blue I know that you are the best assassin in this place and that you want to be out in the world taking assignments. You think its unfair for you to have to wait another two years and if you do wait those two years it will stunt your growth."
"How do you know all of this?" I ask.
" I've been watching you."
"Okay dude that didn't sound creepy at all. Who the hell are you by the way?" I ask getting creeped out by the minute.
"All you need to know is that I'm the man that can get you out of this place."
"Okay so... How do I get out of here?"
He doesn't say anything he just gives me another one of his creepy smiles.
"I'm waiting!" I demand.
Before I can even blink he is in my personal space staring me down.
"You've grown to be so beautiful." He says then lifts his hand and caresses the side of my face.
"Get your damn hands off of me!" I shove him back forcefully.
He doesn't take too kindly to this and back hands me so hard that I fly into a near wall.
"You stupid bitch! You think you can just put your hands on me? Looks like the filthy mutt needs to be taught a lesson!" He says stalking towards me.
In my sixteen years of life I've learned to control my many emotions but when an unfamiliar rage builds up in me like never before something else takes over me.
("Brittany!")
The last thing I remember is the look of pure fear on his face before I black out.
("Brittany!")
("Come on baby please wake up!")
ROCK POV
"Bails!"
"Bailey wait up!"
"No! Leave me alone!"
"Come on buddy just slow down so we can talk."
"I don't want to talk, especially not to you!"
"Well can you at least just listen to me please."
Finally, after several minutes of chasing him Bails finally come to a halt. I honestly have no idea how to make this situation better. For ten years this kid has grown up thinking that he was an orphan and for ten years I've had a kid that I knew nothing about. So it's not like either one of us is to blame here. This just happen to be an unfortunate situation that I'm determined to fix.
"Look Bails I had no idea-
"Liar! You knew I was your son that's why you questioned me earlier about my mom and don't think I didn't notice your not so subtle staring."
I take a deep breath before I speak because what Bails is saying is partially true.
"I honestly didn't think about the possibility of you being my son, however I knew we were related. I can't believe I didn't see it before though, you look exactly like I did when I was a kid."
"I do not." Bails says with a Brittany-like pout.
How in the hell did all three of us miss this for so long. To anyone outside looking in they can clearly see that we all look alike but I guess its hard to find something when you're not looking for it.
"I hate to burst your bubble kid but you're practically my carbon copy. You definitely have your mother's feisty attitude though." I confess.
"My mother's name was Rayne right? She was the one that stabbed Brittany, so she wasn't a good person."
"Rayne wasn't bad she was just... misunderstood. I know this is going to sound terrible but Rayne did what all of us wanted to do. There wasn't an assassin that didn't want to kill Brittany. It was always Blue this and Blue that. No one wanted to be showed up by a half breed. I think the peer pressure of the others finally got to her and someone put lies in her head. Her stabbing Brittany was so out of character for her and that's why all of us was shocked when it happened."
"She still did a bad thing by stabbing Brittany."
"No one is immune to doing bad things buddy but that doesn't make them monsters. You're mother loved you and protected you even before you were born. So now that you have Blue and I we are going to do the same."
"You promise?" Bails ask in a voice so small that it almost breaks my heart.
"I promise."
Bails shocks me and hugs my waist tightly and I reciprocate it by wrapping my arms around him in a tight bear hug.
"Are we okay now?" I ask him in a hesitant voice.
'Yeah we're okay." He says stepping out of my embrace.
"Good. Now let's go help our girls."
"Okay but just to let you know I'm not calling you dad." Bails says with a a playful glint in his eyes.
"That's fine with me kid." I says as I put him in a light headlock and ruffle his hair.
SANTANA POV
The whole dinner was a disaster as expected but we managed to get a head start on the evil witch after I knocked her out with a pan. It's actually been a struggle to get too far because Britt is still weak and she's been leaning heavily on me. So I've been trying to carry most of her weight plus mine, and it's been working up until now. I'm definitely not prepared when her body goes slack and her dead weight becomes too much for me to hold up. So we both go sprawling to the floor.
"Brittany!"
Once I collect myself I scramble to her side and quickly examine her to make sure that she is okay. I let out a sigh of relief when I see that she is still breathing. She actually look like she's in a deep sleep so that makes me feel a lot better. The old Santana wants to go into panic mode but I know Brittany needs me so I'm trying to keep it together.
"Brittany!" I try once more to goad her awake.
After getting no response I know I have to come up with a plan of action because we are out in the open and exposed to any oncoming attack. I survey my surroundings and I'm more than pleased when I spot a door at the end of the hall. I know that I can't carry Britt without hurting the both of us so I kneel behind her and push her up into a siting position. I then hook my arms under her armpits hugging her to me and begin walking backwards. I'm practically half dragging/half carrying her down the hall and by the time I reach the door my arms and legs are burning. I gently lay her down making sure I don't injure her further, then I turn towards the door and open it slowly. I let out a sigh of relief when I see that the spacious room is empty except for a dim light and a bed in the far corner. After mentally celebrating our luck I go back and gather Britt in my arms and pull her into the room. I lay her down then I hurry back to shut the door as quietly as possible. Now that the most difficult task is out of the way I need to focus on waking up my sleeping beauty.
"Brittany wake up." I stroke her cheek and attempt to wake her but once again I get no response.
"Well it looks like we are going to be here for a while so at least I can do is try to make you as comfortable as possible." I say aloud.
I know that trying to get her on the bed will be a disaster so with some quick thinking I decide to just pull the mattress on the floor. Yeah I know it's not the most sanitary thing in the world but I'm only a buck twenty soak and wet. There is no way I will be able to lift Brittany onto the bed by myself.
Once I get the mattress on floor I roll Brittany as gently as I can onto the mattress. Through this whole process Brittany has not budged one bit other than her deep breathing. I swear this girl could sleep through a hurricane right now, I mean she is out like a light.
So when she lets out a sound of distress it startles me terribly.
"Brittany!" I scream her name as I watch her body begin to shake violently.
"Come on baby please wake up!" I say frantically and this time I must have gotten through because the tremors of her body suddenly stop.
My heart almost leap out of my chest when Brittany jerks upright and her eyes shoot open with the most wild look on her face . It's almost a look of fear and danger rolled into one.
"Blood. So much blood." She looks down at her hands and start furiously wiping them on her pants. It's almost like she is in some trance.
"Britt baby what's happening?" My heart is literally about to beat of my chest from fear.
"There was blood everywhere. All around me, I just got so angry and I didn't know what I was doing. He was touching me and I had to stop him. I didn't mean to do it I swear I didn't. There was just so much blood." Brittany says in hysterics.
"Wait who's blood?"
"The guy Santana!"
"What guy? Please tell me what's going on."
"She's talking about Richard."
I nearly jump out of my skin when I hear Brittany's mother voice bounce off the walls. I look around frantically but she is nowhere in sight.
"Oh come on! I thought I knocked you out cold yet some how you magically reappear."
"You're funny human and nice shot by the way, I think we're about even for all the pain I've caused you."
"Not a chance in hell lady and are you seriously everywhere in this place?"
"Why of course I am, I have this whole place bugged. Now back to the matter at hand, the guy that Blue is talking about is Richard. My sleazy perverted no good of a husband."
"That was Richard?" Brittany asks in a broken voice.
"Yeah it was but no worries you did us all a favor."
"Wait I don't get it how did she do you a favor?" I asked confused.
"You want me to tell her Blue or should I?" The she-devil asks.
"Santana I."
Brittany lets out a deep breath and looks up at me with sad puppy dog eyes. Then in the smallest voice says, "promise me you won't hate me when you find out what a monster I am. I couldn't take it San, it would kill me."
"Britt I could never-"
"Promise me." She says with sadness etching her voice.
I lean in closer and cup her pale cheeks in my hand rubbing my thumb in soothing motions and when I feel her body relax I begin to tell her how I truly feel.
"Brittany Susan Pierce I promise that no matter what you tell me I will still love you. Hating you is something I could never do." I assured her.
I... I killed him! I didn't mean to I swear! I was just a sixteen year old kid and I had never killed anyone. I barely hurt a fly and you know the story of me healing the animals. When he came onto me and tried touching me, he stirred something inside of me. Something that I had been trying to bury deep down inside of me since I was a little girl. The monster that I am snapped and I lost control San." Brittany says almost on the verge of tears.
"Britt what he tried to do to you is one of the worst things imaginable and you had every right to-
"No Santana! I could have just stopped him, kicked his ass and sent him on his way but no I lost control. The monster in me took satisfaction in every part of it. There was so much blood, blood was everywhere, I was covered in it. Do you get the picture I'm trying to paint. I-I lost control and went too far. I've done some terrible things in my life but that is by far the worst. I tried to suppress it for years and I was doing a good job of it until I came back to this place, this very room."
"Brittany I'm so sorry I had no idea that this room... I'm so sorry."
I launch myself at Brittany and pull her into a tight hug as tears stream down my face. Brittany hugs me just as tight and clings onto me like her life depends on it.
"Well isn't that just heartbreaking." I hear Brittany's mother say sarcastically.
"Oh fuck off!" I yell.
"Human you seriously need to work on that filthy mouth of yours, I smacked you and you're still running your big mouth. Honestly Blue I don't know how you put up with this one but I guess that's your problem. Anyway I'm going to go and let you two have your moment and I will see you real soon." The room goes quiet and I pray that the she-devil is done with her spying.
"I hate that woman." Brittany says burying her head in my chest and snuggling closer.
"You and me both." I agree.
"How are you feeling Britt?"
"I'm still incredibly weak and I need to heal soon."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" I offer.
"You being here is helping and that's all that I can ask for." She replies and I hold her even tighter than before.
We continue like this for a few minutes when Brittany suddenly stiffens in my embrace. I feel her whole body go on full alert and her fight mode starting to kick in.
"Someone is coming." She says weakly.
As soon as she says this we hear a knock on the door. I mean seriously who knocks on the door, do they have polite killers around here? My only worry is that it's the she devil coming to kill us both, so I do the only thing I can and shield Brittany's body with mine as best as I can. I hear the door creek open and I prepare myself for the worst.
"Are you ladies having sex?"
I snort out laughter when I recognize Bails' voice.
"What? No! Come in you goof."
I turn around to see Bails waltz in the door with a huge smile on his face and Rock trailing behind him looking distressed.
"I couldn't be any happier to see you guys." I say earnestly.
Bails walks over and take in our appearances and his smile immediately disappears as he sees the state Brittany is in.
"What's going on? Brittany you're aura is all over the place and I could literally feel it everywhere. That's how I was able to find you." Rock says walking closer to inspect his sister.
"Rock I did something terrible in this room. I killed that guy Richard, y-your dad. Please forgive me I had no idea who he was."
I watch as Rock hang his head and let out a deep sigh at Brittany's admission.
"You didn't kill him."
"Yes I did!"
"Brittany trust me you didn't kill him I was there and I know you didn't kill him because I did."
"That's not possible I-
"It is possible and I'll tell you how. I had just gotten my orders for a mission and was headed out when I by chance decided to take a detour. As I was passing by your room I overheard what was going on. I never seen the guy in my life before that day so I thought it was strange that he would be in your room. Besides you know the rules about boys not being allowed in the girls room and vice versa. So I walked in just in time to see you kicking this guy's ass and I mean you beat him to a bloody pulp but he was still alive. It was almost like you were in a trance and when I finally managed to get you off of the guy you passed out cold. At this point and time he pleaded with me to help him but I knew what he tried to do to you so I finished him off. You probably gave him some permanent damage at most but I did the killing." Rock explains.
"Wait a minute I know I was in and out of it but I don't remember you being there. In fact I can barely remember anything. I just remember waking up and blood was every where then passing out again. The next time I woke up I being sent out on missions and when I tried to ask about it everyone thought I was crazy and dismissed me. How did you manage to cover it up?" Brittany asks.
"I had help from the boss, our mother wanted to get rid of him for a long time and this just gave her an excuse. She knows you didn't kill him and she's just trying to play stupid mind games with you because that's the type of person she is. Brittany you're not like the rest of and I think that's why a lot of us hated you. We were jealous of your spirit and your ability to have compassion for those around you. You are better than every assassin in this place and it has nothing to do with you being the best fighter. You are half human and it's the best thing about you. So that thing you thought everyone hated you for is actually what made us envy you."
"Rock I don't know how to respond to all of this. It's all so much to take in." Brittany says as her eyes fill with tears.
"You don't have to Blue just know that Bails and I have you ladies' back no matter what. You were brave enough to rebel against our mother for the sake of your own happiness and that's something we all can admire. It''s time to take action and burn this whole place down so that we can be rid of it once and for all. So now that we know I'm officially a sap, are we ready to get out of here?"
"Yes!" We all say at the same time.
"Okay, so first thing we need to do is heal you Blue." Rock says leaning closer.
"Wait no you can't heal me! You know it makes us weaker when we heal someone." Brittany interjects.
"What? Why didn't you tell me that I was making you weak earlier when you healed me?" I watch as Britt's face redden from being caught.
"That was different San you know I can't bare to see you in pain." She pouts and give me her best puppy dog eyes.
"Oh save it. Okay guys get to healing her."
"But-"
"Shush, you don't get a choice in this."
"You are pretty mouthy." I hear her mumble but I decide to let it slide.
I watch as Rock and Bails join hands then place their free hand on Brittany's forehead and begin to heal her. Since I still have her in my embrace I can feel the warmth flowing through her as the process is happening. After about five minutes of this they unlock hands and take a step back.
"How do you feel Blue?" Bails asks nervously.
Brittany pops up like a jack and the box and does a somersault off the mattress.
"Great!" She says full of energy.
"Seriously Brittany? That wasn't even necessary" I say shaking my head at her actions.
"Aw the whole gang is back together and ready to kick some ass." Bails announce.
"Alright gang let's work out a quick plan of action then move out." Rock says clearly taking charge.
"Hey Rock before we get started is there a phone anywhere in this place?" Brittany asks.
"Um yeah? This place isn't the stone age anymore there are phones and even computers here now. A lot has change since you were last here." He replies.
"Too bad they didn't hire someone to do some interior decorating but any who I need to make a phone call."
"At a time like this who do you need to call?" I ask curiously.
"You'll see." Is all I get in return.
BRITTANY POV
"Brittany thank God! Is everything okay? Is Santana okay? I was getting really worried it's been a few days and I haven't heard from you and-
"Quinn." I say trying to get her attention.
"I'm just so happy to hear from you I started to think the worst like maybe you got killed trying to save Santana. Then I started thinking if you're dead then Santana is a goner too but then I realized that bitch is too stubborn to die so-
"Okay enough try to calm your tits Lucy!"
"Is that Santana?"
"Haha yeah that's her."
"Put her on the phone!"
She just completely dismissed me but no hard feelings I understand she wants to speak to her best friend.
"I have it on this thing called a speaker so she can hear you." I reply.
"I miss you guys. How are things going?"
(tell them I miss them too Quinn and I hope that they are well. Oh and don't forget my souvenir!) I hear Rachel yell in the background.
"Does Berry think we are away at a vacation resort or something?" Santana asks in amusement.
"Well everyone sort of thinks you're on vacation at Lesbos island."
"Seriously Quinn that's the best that you could come up with?"
"Well Santana I didn't know what to tell everyone so I had to make something up. I figured when you came back you could just explain it to everyone yourselves. So back to the Pits how are things?" Quinn whispers in the phone.
"To tell you the truth Q it's been a rough couple of days but we are finally coming home."
"That's so great! Do you know when you will be home?" Quinn asks.
"Well we are mapping out a plan and if everything goes accordingly we will be home in a day or so, a two days tops."
"Okay good."
(Quinn tell Brittana you will talk to them later you know I'm ovulating and the mood is right so we need to get a move on.")
"What the hell Berry? She do know that you can't get her pregnant right? It doesn't work like that! Is that some kind of weird role play where you're pretending to impregnate her. Who knew you two were so freaky."
"Ew San shut up! We've decided to try for a baby and Rachel have this whole thing about making love before injecting-
"Okay that's enough! I call dibbs on god mother, I love you and Goodbye!"
("Here Brittany take it off speaker before my ears start to bleed and they make me throw up.")
"Well I'm going to take that as my cue to go now as well."
"Hey B before you go I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate everything you're doing for Santana. This whole situation is unfortunate and even though you feel like it's you're fault I guarantee you that Santana doesn't think so. You're her knight in shining armor B and I bet she doesn't regret a single moment of running into you."
"Thank you that means a lot and I mean it when I say that I love her with everything that I have and I'd do anything for her."
"That's good to know. Now get your asses back here!"
The phone goes dead and I turn around and see Santana who have unshed tears in her eyes. Obviously she just heard everything I just said to Quinn.
"I love you too Britt... always." She leans up and place a gentle kiss on my lips.
I can't help but smile at her like an idiot thinking I'm the luckiest woman alive.
"Okay that's enough you two time to go." Rock says interrupting our moment.
"Don't be jealous I've got enough kisses to go around." I say grabbing Rock and playfully trying to kiss his cheek.
"Ew gross, stay away." He dodges me.
"Fine I don't want to kiss you're ugly mug anyway." I say with a pout.
Santana let out a snort of laughter. "You have the same face."
"Whatever. Come on gang let's get the hell out of the Pits!"
