Quinn's P.O.V.
After Beth's first day with us, we've become almost inseparable. We sat and talked while we ate our ice cream then played games and painted each other's toenails before passing out on the living room couch. Santana, Beth and I have all gotten closer over the last month. Beth isn't an average 13 year old, her birthday was a week and a half ago but that's another thing, anyway she's aware of what's going on and she wants to participate. It wasn't something any of us wanted for her but we could stop her. Beth wanted to learn to fight so we taught her. Beth wanted to learn potions so Spencer taught her. Beth wanted to hang out with Puck's wolves so we let her. We did that so she could be around kids her age too. Puck's pack has a few kids in it so I thought it would be good for Beth. We still haven't found her parents but we're still looking.
After the truck incidence, S has been silent. Eerily silent again so we're sure something is being planned. Though it won't matter much, we're only weeks away from executing our own plan to end this for once and all. The only reason its taking so long is because we're waiting on 3 more groups to get here. They want to construct a plan once every leader from every area is here. The last 3 have been having a few hiccups and have had to stop travelling at some point for days. I'm just hoping that this waiting isn't going to give S room to do something more fucked up then before.
"Going for a run!" Beth shouts as she runs out of the front door. Santana quickly appears at the door and I watch from my seat on the couch.
"Do you know what time it is? It'll be dark soon." She says.
"I'm going with Joshua and I can defend myself San." Beth says.
"You think your guard dog is supposed to give me comfort? And we don't know how you can handle yourself in a real situation because one hasn't happened."
"Quinn!" Beth shouts and I roll my eyes. This kind of situation happens at least once a week. I get up and walk to the door, peaking my head out over Santana's shoulder.
"Tell Santana I'll be fine, please. Also if she keeps worrying all the time, she'll die sooner." Beth says with a roll of her eyes. I didn't know teenagers automatically gained an attitude within days of becoming one.
"And if you keep running around here like everything isn't out to kill you, you'll die sooner too." Santana says and I roll my eyes.
"Do we always have to do this?" I say and look at Joshua who is just smiling and shaking his head. He's 14 and has to be the sweetest kid imaginable.
"Santana, Beth will be fine. I'm sure of it. Just breathe okay? It's not like she's alone. Let her live." Santana rolls her eyes.
"Beth, you have all of two hours. We have training to do later." Beth nods her head and smirks.
"Bye Sanny. Come on Joshua." She says as she turns to walk away.
"Don't go far!" Santana says as they walk away.
"Fine." Beth says and Santana and I go back into the house.
Santana has pretty much been over protective of Beth since she's been here. Yeah she hasn't been here long, but like I said, we all got really close. I know Santana's heart is in the right place but sometimes it's just a bit too much.
"If something happens to her, I'll kill him." She says and I roll my eyes.
"She's a kid. He's a kid and you think it's okay for them to be out there at night? Beth is human. She's prey."
"Who can handle herself. Do you feel like that whenever I'm out by myself?" I ask.
"Yes! There's only so much you can do against all these creatures!" She says.
"Thanks for the confidence in us. She'll be fine, sit down and shut up." I tell her as I sit back on the couch. Santana walks past me while flipping me the bird. I can't help but chuckle and get back to what I was doing before.
Santana's P.O.V.
I'm 1,000 percent sure Beth is some descendant of Quinn's family. There's no other explanation as to why I'm so protective over her. I'm not sure if I can track it or prove it without tasting their blood but I know what I'm talking about. I love that Quinn just thinks she should have all the freedom in the world but what did I expect? Quinn wanted all the freedom because she thinks its okay to just do whatever she wants…I mean it is, but just not at night. Okay, she still can do what she wants at night but I'd prefer she didn't.
Anyway, I have other things I have to be worried about. Waiting on the other team members just isn't going to cut it for me. I can't let any more time be wasted so I'm going to let everyone know, we're doing this without them. I know this system is supposed to be like a democracy and shit but fuck that. I'm highest ranking over everyone because I enforced this system, well Emily helped too but she's my sister, I can get her on board. With eyes inside the headquarters, it's easy to formulate a plan to infiltrate it. Not to kill S though. I'm not sure if S knows were in the camera system or not but we haven't seen them yet. It's like S is one step ahead of us, but I'll change that soon enough.
"You must be contemplating taking over the world." I hear Spencer say and I raise my head to look at her. She's on her way to the refrigerator. I shake my head as she opens the refrigerator door.
"I'm just thinking." I tell her.
"What about?" She asks as she pulls out a bottle of water and closes the refrigerator door.
"Nothing important." I say.
"Lying isn't the best way to maintain a friendship." She says causing me to chuckle.
If I were to be friends with her, Quinn would kill me then somehow bring me back to life to kill me again and then kill her. Quinn is the definition of the jealous type and has already established my limits with Spencer. Spencer hasn't really done anything too flirty lately but she has her moments. I haven't told Quinn about these moments just to keep the peace but I'm really hoping they've ended…more so for her sake.
"What's funny?" She asks and I shake my head.
"To answer your original question, I'm figuring out a plan to attack S earlier."
"I thought we were waiting?" Spencer says as she takes a sip of her water.
"I can't wait any longer. I'll talk to Em about it today and make the announcement tomorrow. We can't keep wasting time." Spencer nods.
"I agree. The longer we wait, the worse it gets. Anything you want me to do specifically? I'll do whatever you want." Something…Something about the end of that sentence, didn't seem friendly.
"I…uh right now, I just need you to be prepared. Spells, potions and shit." Spencer nods.
"My pleasure." She winks at me and takes another sip of her water.
"So how are things with Quinn?" She asks. I think it's time I leave before this turns bad.
"We're doing well, like always." I say and Spencer nods.
"Well I've gotta go talk to Em." I walk out of the kitchen and past Q. I don't know where I'm going exactly but anywhere away from her seems good.
Quinn's P.O.V.
Okay, I'm starting to get a little worried. Beth hasn't been back and I told her to be here an hour ago. Where the hell is she? I called Puck and he hasn't heard from Joshua. They're not doing anything, right? Like a 13 year old doesn't know anything about sex yet, right? No she wouldn't be doing that. Nothing happened to them though, right? Beth listens, I know she couldn't have went far. Santana isn't here and I haven't told her yet because why get her upset over nothing right? Right.
"You're going to burn a hole in the carpet." Tina says from her seat on the couch. I've been pacing around the living room for the last 20 minutes. I have to keep calm. Beth could've just lost track of time.
"I can't stop." I tell her.
"Relax, she's probably fine and you're panicking for no reason." Tina says and I try to take a calming breath but it doesn't work.
"Something just doesn't feel right Tina. Something isn't right." I told her I'd keep her safe. I told her I'd help her. I'm supposed to protect her. Why did I let her leave? I should have listened to Santana. Damn it!
"Don't wolves use telepathy? Just have Puck us-" Tina is interrupted but Joshua bursting through the door speaking frantically.
"They took her! They took her!" He shouts while running over to me.
"Who took her?! What happened?!" I ask.
"Some witches! They knocked me out and when I woke up she was gone!" Fuck!
"Tina – "
"Already on it!" Tina says as she sprints up the stairs.
"Can you find her scent?" I ask and Joshua nods frantically.
"It's my fault. I found a new field and wanted to show her." He says.
"That doesn't matter. Go get a piece of her clothes for a fresh scent." Joshua nods and runs upstairs. I run to get ready and as soon as I get back downstairs, I see Santana has Joshua pinned against a wall, yelling at him in Spanish. Brittany quickly breaks it up before I can get to them.
"We don't have time for this!" I tell Santana and she seems to calm down.
"Joshua go outside." I tell him and he hurries outside.
"Are you ready?" I ask and Santana nods her head.
"Everyone's outside in their cars. Let's go." Santana says as she moves towards the door.
I follow and we both get into her car. We follow Joshua who is on foot and after about 30 minutes we get to the field they were in before they took Beth. Joshua keeps following the scent to an area of woods. We're now on foot and following until we reach a cottage. Everyone prepares themselves and Mike throws a rock through the window to get their attention. The previously lit cottage is now pitch black. There's no noise and we all watch patiently.
There's a burst of light and in the air above the cottage are 3 witches levitating. The one on the far left is holding Beth by her collar while Beth screams at the top her lungs and flails her legs.
"Beth! Stop fighting!" I yell. I don't want the witch to drop her. Beth listens to me and relaxes her body.
"We have a message!" The witch in the middle says.
"What the fuck do you want?!" Santana yells.
"S says the games end here. You are going to come to her headquarters before dusk tomorrow or there will be a price to pay!" Santana growls and before I know it she and Emily are on the roof of the Cottage.
"Give me the girl!" Santana says and all the witches chuckle.
"But she's the prize silly girl." The witches say in unison and they begin to fly away. Emily and Santana begin to chase them while Rachel and I shoot at them. We don't shoot more than one shot a piece as a way to not accidentally injure San, Em or Beth. Beth fights and screams in the arms of the witch and gets the witch to drop her. As she comes down Spencer quickly uses magic to lower her quickly but safely, but right before she touches the ground, the same witch comes back and sweeps her up. Joshua tries to stop the witch from taking her but he isn't quick enough. Rachel and I can't get a clear shot and before we know it the witches and Beth are gone.
"Fuck!" Santana yells as she walks past me. That's precisely what I was thinking.
"Let's go. I want every leader of every fucking team in the meeting spot in 20 minutes!" Santana says sternly.
S wants a war, that's what she's going to get.
