Santana's P.O.V.
I'm surprised at this stunt S just pulled. Honestly, I did not see this coming. But just because I didn't see it coming, doesn't mean I'm not prepared. This is the day I've been waiting for. This is the day all of this ends because I'm not stopping until that bastard is dead. I want to watch her eyes roll to the back of her head while I choke the life out of her. Either that or I will die trying, but if I die I'll make sure Quinn and Beth are safe before.
All day, everyone has been preparing. We might lose a lot of people today but we can't back down. This is what we've been working towards. This is why were even together. It's the reason we even fight. I'm sick and tired of trying to save the world. It's time to do it and spend the rest of my time enjoying my life with my soulmate.
As much as I'm ready to do this, I'm also terrified. What if I don't make it? What if Quinn doesn't? How do we even move on if we do win? How do we prevent this from happening again? We can't kill everyone who works with S. I'm freaking myself out. I have to be a warrior right now, I can think of everything else later.
"Alright! Listen up!" I say to the group of warriors who stand before me. We are two miles from S headquarters which is where I wanted everyone to meet. As I stand on top of Mike's truck and look out at all the faces in front of me, I feel a sense of pride. I know we are going into battle but I'm proud of how we've all come together for this one moment…to kick some ass.
"The time is here and we all may not make it out alive so I hope you've said your goodbyes! We are here to conquer or we will die trying!" Some cheering starts to erupt.
"No matter what, you will go down in history as bad ass fucking heroes because on this day you gave your blood, sweat, tears and maybe your lives! We are fucking warriors so let's kill us some fucking soldiers!" I hear the cheering grow as I climb down from the truck and everyone returns to their vehicles or other means of transportation and we're off.
I can't explain how I feel right now. I feel like my entire body is tingling but I don't feel like I'm in my body. It's weird…it's anger, sadness, anxiousness, and a mix of a whole lot of other emotions all put together inside of me. I'm terrified of what the result of this could be but I can't run. I won't run. There's no other option but to stay and fight. I fight for my father, my niece or nephew that never got the chance to take their first breath, my sister that I almost lost, my soulmate who never asked to be thrown into this shit, all my friends and myself. I fight for myself because S has taken so much from me.
I make the call to Wheels to cut the cameras and override the security system as we approach the gates of the house. I look over to Quinn who hasn't said a word the entire ride and take a deep breath. I can't lose her and I'll do everything in my power to ensure that I don't. I take her hand and look over into her eyes silently praying this isn't the last time I'll see them.
"You ready?" She asks and I nod my head.
"This is it." Now it's her turn to nod. She lets go of my hand to grab her gun as we pull into the driveway. We aren't the first to arrive so the fight has already begun. I put the car in park and turn to her.
"Watch your back and always be strategic." I tell her and Quinn shakes her head.
"I know San. You be careful. When this is over I expect to see you back here." I nod my head. Quinn cups both my cheeks in her hands and presses our foreheads against each other.
"I love you." I feel her breath softly hitting my face as she whispers to me.
"I love you too." I respond and soon after I feel her press her soft lips against mine. I don't want to dwell on the negative possibilities of today but I can't help but cherish this feeling right now because…I feel the sting of tears building up in my eyes so I pull back from the kiss. I feel a tear drop on my cheek but it isn't from my eyes. Quinn's eyes are over flowing but before I can reach out to wipe her tears, she grabs her gun and shoots out of the car. I follow her lead and exit the car.
There's already so much carnage. I see so many dead people littering the grass before we get to the door. Quinn and I quickly rush inside the house and the result is even worse. The inside is more of a…castle then a house. I couldn't explain this if I tried. We move through the people fighting and dead bodies and make our way upstairs. Quinn is in front of me and as we approach the first staircase, I notice a troop coming towards us and Quinn quickly shoots him in the heart. We proceed up the first case and we reach a platform. We can now go either left or right. Quinn chooses left so I follow but as I go to take another step I feel arms wrap around my neck and briefly lift me into the air. Their grip is so tight I can't speak and Quinn doesn't look back as she moves through the house.
My feet are lifted into the air so I grab the knife from my boot and push it into their forearm. I feel myself instantly drop and as I gasp for air I see the troop that grabbed me. She's charging towards me and I kick her in the chest as I hop to my feet. I send her into the railing of the stairs. I quickly rush towards her and bury my hand into her chest. I feel her rib cage crumble under my fingers as I push forward to grip her heart. Once I feel it in my grip, I squeeze until it pops like a water balloon. I pull my hand out of her chest and I look up to see another troop swinging an axe at my head. I move back just in time hop onto the railing, then to wall and grab the axe from the troop as I flip over him. He turns around towards me just as I swing and come in contact with his neck.
FUCK! I look up and down the hall because I can either go left or right again, and I have no idea where Quinn is. Damn it! I go to the right and run down the hall and to my right is another stair case. Great, here comes another one.
Quinn's P.O.V.
I don't feel like I'm controlling my body. I'm terrified but I'm determine to get to Beth. This house is even bigger on the inside than the outside. I go down the hall to the left when I get to the second floor and I run into Kurt who is in the air tossing and turning with one of S's troops. I aim my gun at the troop and pull the trigger as soon as I see Kurt move far enough away. I feel my breath being knocked from my body and my back hitting the floor. I look up to see a troop on top of me and I refuse to be in this situation again. I grab his collar and kick as hard as I can so I can flip him over and I succeed. He lands on his back and I quickly stab him in the heart. As I stand I look around for Santana…but she isn't here. Damn it… I hope she's okay. I need to find her but Beth…I really hope they're both okay.
I continue down the hall then turn left again, there's a huge door that's wide open that leads to a huge garden filled with blood stained flowers and bodies. It's one of the most gruesome sights I've seen. This garden…this battlefield has to be acres and acres long. I scan the area trying to see if I spot Beth anywhere and breathe a sigh of relief when none of the bodies match her face or build. But where the hell is Beth? Where the hell is Santana? I hate myself for losing both of them. I don't know if I should walk into the mess or check the house.
"Quinn! MOVE!" I hear from behind me. I turn my head to see Emily running towards me. Before I know it, I'm being tackled to the ground and gunshots ring in my ear. I hit my head hard on the concrete step pretty hard so my ears are ringing from more than the gunshot. It's hard to keep my eyes open but I have to get up. I see Emily shooting someone in the head and I think I see Hanna standing behind her but I can't tell…my vision is blurry.
"Quinn. Are you okay?" I hear. I turn my head to the left to see Hanna kneeling next to me.
"I…uh…yeah. Just hit my head pretty hard." Hanna holds her hand out and I take it. She helps me to my feet and I rub my head. Fuck, I think I'm bleeding.
"You're bleeding." Emily says as she approaches up.
"Stay with us. Where's Santana?" Hanna says as she leads us behind a pillar to take cover. We all gather close and get down on the ground.
"I don't know. I lost her back in the house." I tell them.
"Are you sure you're okay? Emily says and I nod my head. My vision is clearing up.
"We have to keep moving." Emily says. I stand to my feet and grip my gun. She's right. I have to find Beth and Santana.
"Let's go." I say as they stand.
"Slow down soldier. We have a plan we haven't filled you in on yet." Hanna says.
"S is at the other end of the field and she has Beth. Beth is hanging with the witches that took her. We've been trying to get back there but the troops guarding her are fucking intense." Hanna continues.
"We're going to go around all this mess and straight to the source." Emily says. I look over to the part of land that's covered in trees. No way we can make it there.
"That has to be two if not three miles away. We'll never make it over there." I tell them.
"Are you forgetting we're vampires? We can get there is 3.2 seconds." Emily says. I did actually forget for a second.
"I though you could only jump high?"
"I can run too. Get on my back." She says and I do what she says.
"Ready?" She says. I nod my head and we're off. Before I know it, we're dodging through trees and making our way up the field. This was a good idea. We keep running and I see a figure in the distance.
"We've got company." Hanna says from the right side of us. I pull my gun out and lift up enough to aim.
"Try to keep steady Em!" I say as I take aim. I aim, exhale and pull the trigger. Down goes the target.
"Nice one Q!" Hanna says and I grab on to Emily once more. We've got to get to S with no interruptions. Soon we're making our way out of the trees and coming to a halt. Now I see why these troops were harder to get past. They're fucking huge…I don't even know what they are…They look like werewolves on steroids times 10. I am not prepared for this.
"Holy shit." Emily says causing me to look over to her in shock.
"What?" She says.
"Never really heard you curse. Sorry." We stopped right where the trees end so we're only somewhat out in the open. Those monsters are destroying our people without effort. Flicking them across the field, picking them up and eating them, stepping on them. I feel like we're ants compared to them.
"Starved wolves?" Hanna asks and Emily shakes her head.
"They were genetically altered. No other explanation." I grab a tree to keep my balance as one of them steps on another one of our people. The impact of their foot on the ground feels like an earthquake.
"How do we approach this? There's 3 of them." I say. I can see Beth in the distance behind the monsters. She's being tossed from witch to witch like she's a ball.
"Hanna and I will handle these…things. We're going to create enough of a diversion that you can go back and get Beth."
"Be careful." I tell them. They nod and Emily says.
"You too. I expect to still have a sister in law by the end of this." She cracks a smile at me and I shake my head, hiding the smile creeping on my face.
"Let's do this." Hanna says. She kisses Emily and then they take off for the monsters. They both begin to run as fast as they can around the monster's feet while other people are shooting and climbing up their bodies to take them down. I start to run, staying alongside the trees to avoid any other troops. I run past a few of my people who need help so I stab one troop in the heart as I run past and round house kick another in the head as I keep moving. I finally get back to the witches and since they're just playing with Beth, they don't see me. I take two quick shots to the witches who don't have Beth. I hit one in the head and her body falls, the other is only hit in the leg.
"Quinn!" Beth screams. The witch holding her has dropped her from the air. Fuck! The only thing I can do is cushion her fall. I run as fast as I can to her and she comes down on top of me hard. My fucking ribs are on fire. I scream out in pain as Beth rolls from on top of me.
"Quinn?! Are you okay?!" I have to have an actual concussion now. Beth fell on top of my back which caused me to fall flat on the ground. I hit my head again but I don't know why my ribs burn do much.
"I'm fine. Are you okay?" I ask as I turn on my back.
"I think I broke my arm." She says. I open my eyes to look at her and her forearm has a bone coming from it.
"You think?" I say and she shrugs.
"It doesn't hurt right now." I start to come to my feet and Beth helps me up.
"Here." I bend down to grab my gun and hand it to her.
"Find somewhere safe and now! That blood is only going to put a bigger target on your back. Find someone from the house if you have to." I stand straight up and pull a knife from my boot out. I cut the bottom of my shirt and tie her arm up as fast as I can. It's bleeding a lot more now. Beth screams out in agony but I make sure to tie the knot tight.
"Go! Find some place and I'll find you later." I push her away from me and I look up. Fuck! I'm knocked to the ground again but this time it's by that witch that dropped Beth. I hear a gun shot go off after I stop rolling on the ground. When I lift my head, Beth is standing over me.
"I'm not going anywhere. Come on." She puts the gun down to hold out her good hand to me and I take it. Once I'm standing, I see that Beth shot the witch and she's lying dead on her broom stick. I walk towards her and grab the broom stick.
"You think it'll still fly if we don't have magic?" I turn and ask Beth.
"Oh it does. I almost escaped using it. Hop on." I put the broom between my legs and Beth runs to grab another one then comes back to me.
"We need a running start." She says. I nod and we start to run. I keep running until my feet don't touch the ground anymore and I grab the broom stick. I wipe the blood that's dripping into my eye and look back at Beth.
"Doing okay?" I ask.
"Oh yeah! Let's kill us some vamps!" She says and goes further up into the air. She stops the broom then turns it around. I think about doing the same thing and the broom obeys. Nice. There's no one behind us so we're in the clear.
"Where the hell is S?" I ask.
"There!" Beth points to a woman on the ground wearing a…is she really wearing a pink fur? What the fuck? You have to be kidding me. Jewelry, heels, and fucking sunglasses.
"Fashion forward running the apocalypse. Fitting." I say. S is literally lounging in a chair behind the, now one monster. How did I miss her when I ran past them? Probably all the other people fighting in front of her and adrenaline.
"Do you see Santana?" I ask. Beth and I continue to scan the people looking for Santana.
"There! I see her!" Santana is fighting off 3 troops right now. I have to help her.
"Quick plan. I'm going to get Santana. We're going to drop down on S and we're killing her. Got it?" I say to Beth.
"Got it." I start to go towards Santana but yell back to Beth.
"Reload!" Before I'm too far away. I wipe more blood from my eyes and quickly swoop down and grab Santana from the back of her shirt.
"Shit!" She says as she looks up at me.
"Quinn?!" She says happily. I lift higher and stop the broom so that she can get up. I help up as much as I can and she looks at me.
"Your hair is soaked in blood! Baby are you okay?!" She wipes the blood from the front of my face and I nod.
"I have a few cuts and bruises but I'm still breathing." I tell her.
"Let's go kill S."
"You saw her?" Santana asks.
"Yeah. Grab on." I tell her. She grabs me and I push this broom as fast as I can.
"When I say now, you jump off! Got it?!"
"Got it!" Santana says in response. The closer we get to S the angrier I get and the faster the broom flies.
"Now!" I say once I'm close enough to the ground. Santana jumps off and I plow myself right into S. I fly off the broom stick and S and I roll a few feet before we come to a stop. I'm sure that broke my probably already cracked ribs. Ugh…I climb up to all fours and take a couple deep breaths. Fuck this hurts so bad.
"Quinn?" I hear Santana say from behind me.
"I'm fine. Kill her." Is all I mutter out. My body is beaten and bruised. I'm losing consciousness but I can't pass out. Not yet. I stand to my feet and see Santana standing over S with her gun pointed at her head.
"Sugar fucking Motta. I should have known." Santana says. I start to make my way to her and speak but Beth beats me to the punch.
"You know her?" She asks.
"I dated her." Santana says. Wow…she really knows how to pick them.
"This is how you greet an old friend Santana?" A shrill high pitched voice says. She sounds gross.
"Old friend my ass. You fucking killed my father! You killed my sisters kid and almost broke up her marriage! You almost killed my mate and her kin! And you want to say YOU'RE MY FUCKING FRIEND?!" Santana cocks the gun but before she pulls the trigger, Sugar is hovering above us.
"Blah, Blah, Blah. Who cares about your little sappy story. Get over it. You should have joined me. I gave you and Emily many opportunities. I thought recruiting your father would get you two on board but he just showed me where you got your stubbornness from. He had to go but don't be sad. You'll see him again soon." She says. She raises up higher in the sky and her eyes turn a bright green. Her hair starts flowing on its own and she lets out this deep booming maniacal laugh.
"What the fuck?" Santana says as she gazes up at Motta. I couldn't have said it better. What the hell is she.
"This is my replacement?" She says in a deep voice then laughs again.
"Begone bitch!" The next thing I know, I'm feeling the air being knocked from my lungs and my body hitting the ground.
