"Quinn!" Santana shouted, as she and Brittany ran to their daughter. Quinn was leaning against Rachel, the pain on her face evident. The formerly compelled vampires had stopped fight, and were confused. Rachel's vampire family rushed to their leader and her mate.
Brittany looked at the spot Quinn was stabbed and sighed in relief. "She's going to be okay. It didn't reach her heart. Quinnie, this is going to hurt," Brittany whispered, grabbed the stake and pulling it out, causing Quinn to groan. "Can someone get her some blood or something? She's going to need some." Brittany looked into Quinn's hazel eyes. "Have you fed at all?"
Quinn shook her head. "I-I don't know how."
Brittany nodded her head. She looked to Puck. "Go, get someone so Quinn can feed. And be fast."
"I-I don't want to kill-"
"You won't kill anyone. We'll make sure of it," Santana whispered, running her hand through Quinn's hair.
The baby vampire nodded her head, as she leaned into Rachel.
"I'm sorry," Madison said, looking down at Quinn, having stabbed her. "I-I couldn't control myself."
Rachel looked at the vampire to see the guilt on her face. She sighed. "It wasn't your fault. Jesse caused all this."
"Do you think he'll be happy?" Quinn asked, staring at Jesse's dead body.
"Why should we care?" Santana asked, glaring at the vampire who caused her daughter a lot of pain.
"Because he was hurting. He wasn't always a bad guy. He was actually really sweet, but then he lost his mate, and his sire used him as a toy. Life made him into a bad guy. That could've happened to anyone. It could have happened to Rachel."
"You know, I think you're the only one who really knew Jesse, not even me and I've known him for over five hundred years," Rachel whispered, pulling Quinn closer to her (causing Quinn go whimper in pain).
"I'm sorry about your family," Quinn told Marley, who was staring at her dead cousin.
"They weren't my family, not anymore. You guys are my family," Marley said, smiling at Rachel.
The oldest vampire smiled back.
Puck returned with a human. Quinn reluctantly drank from him.

"What's going to happen with you guys?" Kitty asked the other seven vampires. Quinn's stab wound was healing from the blood she had drank, Mercedes's arm had to heal. The others were just taking a breather, letting the emotions that were on a high to come down.
Cassandra shrugged. "We've been under Jesse's control for so long, I think we're just going to see what life has to offer, you know?"
"Maybe find our mates," Hunter added, looking at the couples.
Kitty grinned. "We wish you luck. If you ever need us, we'll be around."
"What's going to happen with me?" Quinn asked, curled up next to Santana.
"What do you mean?"
"I can't go back to school. I can't be around humans anymore. My life, my old life is over," Quinn said, frowning.
"We'll train you. And if you want to finish school, you can always go back when you are ready. You have forever know," Santana said, not seeing Quinn's face.
Quinn didn't look happy, she looked very sad about the fact that she did have forever. And if Kitty remembered correctly, Quinn didn't want to be a vampire. She wanted to be human, she wanted to stay human.
"Yeah, forever," Quinn whispered, looking at the ground.
Kitty looked up and saw Marley staring at her. Marley had also noticed Quinn's attitude.
Cassandra and the other vampires stood up. "It's time for us to go. We'll meet again, maybe next time it will be with our mates."
"Be safe," Mercedes said, as she stood up as well.
The vampires exchanged goodbye before the other ones left.
"Can we stay here for a little while? I don't want to go home," Quinn whispered, looking at Rachel.
Her sire nodded, and everyone sat back on the ground.
"It's over," Rachel whispered, smiling widely for the first time. She looked relaxed for the first time.
"You know what I always wondered," Finn said, looking up.
The other vampires looked at him, waiting for him to say something.
"If Jesse wanted Rachel's love, why didn't he just compel her?"
"Because he wanted it to be real. He wanted Rachel to chose. Even if he was forcing her, she was still choosing," Quinn said, her eyes on Rachel.
"You were going to come back to me. No one would ever take your place," Rachel whispered, staring back at Quinn.
The younger vampire looked away.

"I call Quinn as my maid of honor," Santana said, smirking.
Brittany narrowed her eyes. "She's going to be mine."
"Why do you get her?"
"Cause I'm older!"
"Mommy, Mama?" she whispered in a small voice.
Santana and Brittany both turned to Quinn a frown on their faces. Quinn had sounded so nervous. She looked troubled.
"What's wrong Quinn?"
"I-I need to talk to you," Quinn whispered, her eyes trained onto the ground.
Santana and Brittany exchanged worried looks.

"Does this mean you're going to stop being a bitch?" Marley asked, staring at Rachel.
Rachel grinned. "I have my mate. I don't have to worry about Jesse. I can finally be happy."
"We're happy for you. Seeing you alone wasn't fun," Finn said, smiling softly, "but now you don't have to be."
Rachel nodded her head. "I don't have to be scared that I'm going to lose Quinn anymore."
"What are you going to do next?" Kitty questioned, a small smile on her face.
"I'm going to take Quinn on an actual date. Then I'm going to kiss her. My first kiss with Quinn," Rachel said, her voice filled with joy.
There was a knock on the door, but Rachel already knew who it was. She stood up and went to open it. "Hey Quinn."
Quinn's eyes looked inside the house. She looked at the people in there, before turning to Rachel. "Can I talk to you, alone?"
Rachel nodded. She gave the others a smile before walking out of the house with Quinn. Rachel followed Quinn until the younger vampire stopped.
"What's going on?" Rachel asked, looking at Quinn.
"I'm a vampire," Quinn whispered, turning to Rachel.
"I know you didn't want to be one," Rachel responded. Her eyes on her mate.
"I didn't get to choose."
"None of us did. I didn't. Kitty didn't. Marley didn't. We didn't have a choice."
Quinn didn't respond. She just stared at the ground.
"Quinn, what's going on?"
"I've never had control of my life. Ever since I was born. We were destined to be together before I was even born. My parents died, because of you. I know it wasn't your fault, but I can't help but blame you. My life revolved vampires. I-I couldn't even deal with Biff's betrayal, like I should have. I was made to forget him. And yeah, I'm over it, but it wasn't supposed to be like that. And it makes me mad. Nothing was in my control. All I had was my humanity, and I couldn't even control of that."
"Quinn, you did—"
"You don't get it. I don't want this. I didn't want to be this. I didn't want to be what hurt me. I want to hate you for ruining my life, but I can't because it's not your fault. You didn't mean to make me this."
"I'm sorry."
"Everyone is. I couldn't even fall in love with you the right way."
"But you did."
"Because I have to. You took that from me. I know being this makes me love you. It amplifies the emotions, but that's all it did. I never got to fall for you. I never got to go on dates with you. I never got to find thing that would make me like you. It just appeared."
Rachel didn't say anything. She just let Quinn talk, knowing she had to let Quinn talk, to let her get it out.
"You're my mate Rachel. You were always my mate. I'll always feel this connection with you. But I have to go."
"Quinn, no."
"I have to. I love you Rachel, but I also hate you. And I can't be here, hating you. It's not fair. I have to get away. I have to think. I have to get used to this, being something I never wanted to be. I have to find out who I am, because I don't even know," Quinn whispered, as she got closer to Rachel. She leaned forward and kissed Rachel softly on the lips.
Rachel had her eyes closed when Quinn pulled away. She opened her eyes and stared into Quinn's eyes. "Our first kiss. And our last one."
"It's not our last one. This isn't a goodbye. It's a 'see you later.' I'll come back, Rachel Berry. I promise to always come back to you. I promise that when I come back to you, the only thing I feel for you is love," Quinn whispered, as she took a step back. "Take care of them, my moms. They are going to need you now."
"I promise. As long as you promise to come back to me," Rachel whispered in reply.
"I promise you," she whispered, smiling softly.
"Can Marley and Finn go with you? I don't want you be alone," Rachel whispered, looking at Quinn's hazel eyes, the hazel eyes she'd fallen for multiple times.
"If they want." Quinn kisses her one last time before turning around and walking away.
Rachel watches her mate walk away, knowing she would be back. She'll always come back.
Quinn disappeared, and Rachel was left standing there alone.

"Quinn, what's wrong?" Santana asked, staring at the youngest vampire.
"I can't stay here," Quinn whispered, her voice void of any emotion.
"What do you mean?"
"I can't stay here. It's too much."
"Is it the blood? We can move to a secluded area," Brittany said, taking a step towards Quinn.
The newly turned vampire shook her head, her eyes shut.
"No, I can't stay here, with you. I can't be around you right now," Quinn told them, her head still shaking.
Santana froze. Her eyes widened. "What do you mean?"
"I can't forget what you did. You hurt me. You didn't trust me. You've compelled me multiple times, not just twice," Quinn told them. After being turned into a vampire, any other compulsion came to light. They remembered everything.
"We were protecting you," Brittany said, trying to calm the emotional girl.
"I need time to myself. I need to let go of it and I can't do that here. I feel like if I stay here, I'll resent you. And I love you too much to resent you. You're my mothers. You raised me."
"And we did a damn good job," Santana said, her voice cracking.
Quinn smiled softly. "You should still get married. I know Mommy has wanted to."
"We'll wait until you come back."
"You shouldn't-"
"Shut up, we are waiting."
Quinn smiled softly. "I'm gonna miss you."
"We'll miss you too. We'll be waiting for you."
"Are you going to tell Rachel?" Brittany asked, looking into Quinn's eyes.
"I have to. I'm gonna break her heart."
Brittany pulled Quinn in for a hug. "She's going to understand. Just like we do, she will as well."
"I love you," Quinn whispered, reaching for Santana.
The tallest of the three vampires walked to the hugging girls and wrapped them up in her arms.
"As long as you can be happy and you come back to us, it will be okay. You make us proud Quinn," Santana said, hugging her daughter.
Quinn pulled away. She walked backwards to the door.
Santana and Brittany watched as Quinn walked out of the house.
"She'll be back. She has to come back," Santana said, reaching for Brittany's hand.
"She has to," Brittany whispered, leaning into Santana.
And the house just felt empty.
