"This assignment will be done in pairs. Because of the odd numbers, there can be one group of three," the teacher said. Three hands went up. "Yes Artie, you, Kurt and Blaine can work together. Everyone else, pick a partner."

Quinn leaned back and looked around the room. She was quite shocked to see that Rachel was in the class with her. The vampire stood up and sat next to the hazel eyed human.

"I didn't know you were in my class," Quinn said, a small frown on her face.

Rachel shrugged. "I ditched for a while."

"Because of me?"

"Sort of? I just had my head in my ass for a while. But I'll be coming to class more often."

"Good to know," Quinn responded, nodding her head.

"Want to work together?" the vampire asked, giving the other girl a smile.

Quinn nodded her head. "Yeah, uh, sure. It'd be cool to work with someone who has done this a few hundred times."

Rachel let out a small chuckle. She shook her head and opened her book. "Just because I'm your partner doesn't mean I'll be giving you all the answers."

Quinn smiled. "Then what's the point of working with you?"

"My looks."

Quinn shook her head. She looked down at the sheet in front of her. "Let's work on this then. Just let me know when I'm close or when I start struggling then."

Rachel nodded her head. The two girls worked on the sheet, finishing it before anyone in the class. Having time, Quinn decided to ask Rachel about the people in the class.

"How about them?" Quinn pointed to the two girls in the corner.

"They are best friends. Ariana is kind of self-centered. When she is in her bubble, it takes a lot to take her out. Liz is a sweetheart. She is the only one who is able to get Ariana back to earth. They're friends, but there are moments their friendship crosses over to romance. But they always deny it."

Quinn nodded. She pointed to the girls behind her. "Now, those two girls are dating. Lauren and Camila. They've been together since freshman year. Lauren denied herself for so long, but Camila was able to get her back."

"Is everyone a lesbian?"

"Well, no. Kurt and Blaine are dating. They are gay," the five hundred year old said, pointing to the dark haired boys behind her. "And I think Artie has a girlfriend in the cheerleading team. And you know Mercedes's boyfriend."

The other vampire in the room smiled and waved. Quinn gave her a smile and turned back to Rachel. "Good to know."

"How about you? Any preference?" Rachel asked, smiling softly.

Quinn shrugged. "I've never been kissed. I mean, I've never had an interest in anyone I guess. So I wouldn't know."

Rachel frowned, seeing the dilation of Quinn's pupils. She nodded softly.

"And why would anyone not want to be with you?"

Quinn smiled. "My mothers are really protective. Everyone has been scared to get close to me because of them."

"Oh yeah. I get the vibe. I don't really know how many times I've been threatened by them."

"Yeah, they do that. I remember this girl who bullied me back in my old school. My mama, Santana, she'd compelled a bullied to leave me alone. I was like nine or ten or something."

Rachel laughed. "If I had a child and I was able to compel them, I'd do the same. It must be great, having vampire parents.

"It was awesome growing up. I loved it."

"You don't anymore?"

Quinn shrugged. She looked up. "Class is almost over. We should probably turn this in."

Rachel frowned, staring at Quinn. "Okay. All of us meet and have lunch in the choir room, if you and your moms want to join us."

Quinn nodded. "I'll run it by them. See you later then."

Rachel nodded and watched Quinn leave the room.

"Are you going to let her be your mate?" Mercedes asked from behind her.

"Nothing good can come out of it," Rachel answered, grabbing her books.

"Your happiness?"

"At the cost of hers?"

"Why don't you let her choose?"

"I think she already did."

"Rachel invited us to have lunch with her friends," Quinn said, when her mothers arrived at her locker.

"Do you want to?" Brittany asked, moving Quinn's hair from her face.

The human shrugged. "I haven't seen Marley or Finn all day. It would be cool to have lunch with them." Her cheeks reddening.

Santana exchanged a look with her mate. "Let's go to the cafeteria to pick up your lunch and then go to the choir room."

Quinn grinned and nodded her head. She closed her locker and walked behind her mothers.

Once Brittany paid for her food, she grabbed it and went to the choir room. The other vampire looked up. All of them smiled seeing the three newcomers.

"Quinn!" Marley exclaimed, moving from her spot on Finn's lap to hug her human best friend.

"Hey Marl," the green eyed girl greeted. "Hey guys."

Rachel smiled from her spot. She gave Santana a small nod, with the Latina returned.

Brittany grabbed Santana's hand and dragged her into the room.

Quinn sat down next to Marley and Rachel. She opened the bag with her food, before looking around. "Am I the only one eating?"

"Honey, you know we don't need to eat." Santana said, humor in her voice.

"Yeah, but you guys always eat with me," Quinn said, a frown on her face, looking down at her lunch.

"How about I eat with you tomorrow?" Rachel said, stealing a tater tot from Quinn.

The hazel eyed girl nodded, grinning. She started eating, while looking around at the vampires around her. She wondered if her life was ever going to be normal. She was in a room filled with vampires.

She turned back to Rachel. "Everyone here has a mate, have you found yours?"

Rachel looked at Quinn. She stared into the big green-brown eyes. She watched as the girl took a bite out of her sandwich. She could feel Santana staring at her.

"I know who it is," Rachel whispered, watching a smile grow on her mate's face.

"Who is it? Do I know them? I can't say him, because it could be anyone. I mean, look at my moms. Both females. But everyone else seems to have mated with the opposite sex. Are you gay? I mean, I was kind of confused by that. Like, would someone, a boy who only dated girls have a male mate? I mean, I like boys. I think I like boys. I haven't really dated anyone. But I told you this already. Does that mean my mate would be a boy? I don't really get it," Quinn rambled, her eyes twinkling.

Rachel could help but smile. "Breath Q," she said, placing her hand on Quinn's knee.

The younger girl looked down, a small frown on her face. "Q?"

"Do you want me to call you something else?"

"No, that's fine. It's just, Ma calls me Q-Lo, and Mami calls me Quinnie. It's different," Quinn said, a small smile growing on her face.

"Q=Lo?"

"It's Quinn and loser combined," Santana answered, grinning.

Rachel looked surprised. "You call your daughter loser?"

"Have you met her?"

Rachel started laughed. The other vampires watched with smiles on their face. Brittany shook her head at her mate. Quinn pouted.

"I'll buy you ice cream after school, if you want," Rachel offered.

Quinn's cheeks reddened a little. She nodded her head. "I mean, I'd have to ask my moms—"

"You can go Quinn," Brittany said, a smile on her face.

"O-okay then. Ice cream after school. Do I meet you at your locker? Where is your locker? Which is your last class? Or do you want to meet at the ice cream place? Do you even drive? Are we walking? What if—"

"Q, I will meet you at your locker. I can drive us to the ice cream parlor. Just breathe," Rachel said, a fond smile on her face.

The younger girl nodded, taking a deep breath, her cheeks reddening even deeper.

The bell rang, saving Quinn from more embarrassment. She smiled to Rachel. "I-I'll see you later?"

"Later Q."

Quinn looked around. She pulled the strap of her backpack tighter as she waited. She sighed, looking at the watch on her hand. School ended a ten minutes ago. Her mothers had left earlier.

Quinn sighed and started heading out of the hall. She should have known Rachel would bail on her. They weren't even friends.

She wasn't even halfway down the hallway when someone grabbed her hand. She stopped, ready to tell the person off, when her eyes connected to familiar brown eyes.

"Sorry it took me a while. Mercedes and Marley wanted to talk to me about something," Rachel said, grinning.

Quinn opened her mouth, but nothing came out. She nodded her head.

"Ready to go?" Rachel asked, squeezing Quinn's hand.

The younger of the two nodded her head. She followed Rachel to her car.

"How old are you? If you don't mind me asking," Quinn said, after sitting in the car in silence for a while.

Rachel smirked. "Sixteen."

Quinn rolled her eyes. She let out a small laugh. "I know that. But, how old are you, really?"

"Four hundred and sixty," Rachel answered, turning her attention to the street. She could practically hear Quinn think.

"So, you were born in," Quinn started, trying to do the math in her head.

Rachel grinned. She found a parking and turned so she could face the green eyed girl. She could see her do math in air.

"The fifteen hundreds? If I'm right?"

"1534 to 1551," Rachel told her. "We are here. Do you want to get the ice cream and we eat it here? That way we can talk about anything and not fear someone listening?"

Quinn nodded her head. Both girls ordered their ice cream and were in back in the car in no time.

"Did you want to be a vampire?"

Rachel shook her head. "No. I didn't even know they existed."

"How were you changed?"

"I was with my best friend when a vampire ambushed us. He changed me without my permission."

"What happened to your best friend?"

Rachel shook her head. "She didn't make it. He, he made me feed from her."

"Did he let you go after?"

"No. He kept me for a century. He was stronger than I was. I was unable to fight him. But he got sloppy and I was able to escape."

"Has he found you?"

"A few times. I have a family now, so he knows he can't fight all of us, but he always shows up, screws with my head. He makes sure I remember him."

"Has he visited you recently?"

"He's been around."

Quinn nodded. She could see that Rachel was not comfortable with where the conversation was going.

"You know, Santana and Brittany, they saved me. My parents died in a car accident, my dad died right away, my birth mom, she died a little after. I was okay in the backseat. Mami found me. I don't know how long I would have been there if they didn't find me."

"Do you remember anything about your parents?"

"I actually do. My moms think it's weird that I can remember things from that far. I still remember the day they died. There were two people in the street. It's why my dad swerved," Quinn answered, taking a bite of her ice cream.

"You do?"

"Mhm, sometimes I have nightmares because of them."

Rachel nodded, not answering. She stared down at her ice cream.

"Do you plan on becoming one of us?" Rachel asked, changing the subject.

"You asked me that earlier. Why do want to know?"

"Because you evaded the question earlier, and I want to know the answer."

Quinn sighed.

"You'll never escape me," he said, brown eyes looking deep into her soul.

She bared her teeth, glaring.

He laughed, touching her cheek. She moved away, as if it burned her.

"You are mine. And it doesn't matter how many times she appears. It is always going to end the same," he snarled, pushing her against the wall.

Quinn gasped, as she sat up. She reached over, grabbing her inhaler. She rubbed her face, not sure what the nightmare meant. She knew it had to do with what Rachel told her, but she didn't know why she was dreaming it.

She took two pumps from her inhaler. She shook it, feeling the lightness. She sat back, knowing that she was going to need a refill. She just hoped she could sleep the rest of the night without anymore attacks.
