Quinn went to the other bathroom and brushed her teeth. She threw water on her face a couple of times then she looked in the mirror. She needed to find strength for what was going to happen.

She went to her room, changed her clothes and walked downstairs. It was breakfast, everyone was finishing eating when Quinn came into view.

"Hey, Quinn. Are you going to eat?" Tina asked and Quinn shook her head. "No, Tina. I'm not hungry. You guys can have my share." Quinn said trying to smile.

Most people didn't notice that it was fake, except 3 people. Rachel, Puck and Santana. They knew something was definitely bothering the blonde girl.

"San, are you finished? I need to talk to you." Quinn said and Santana looked at her. "Yes, I'm finished. Let's go outside." Santana said getting up from the table and walking along with Quinn outside. They went to the bench outside and sat down.

"What is it, Quinn? I know you. Something is wrong. Tell me, maybe I can help you." Santana asked and a tear rolled down on the blonde's face.

"Quinn, what is going on? You are scaring me." Santana came closer to her. "My mother was bitten by my father after he had turned into a zombie." Quinn managed to say. "What?" Santana wasn't sure she heard correctly.

"I saw her taking a shower just now. She has a big bite mark on her shoulder. My dad must have turned and bitten her before I killed him and you know what that means." Quinn said.

"She will turn into a zombie." Santana said sadly and Quinn nodded. 'Exactly. But I can't let that happen. I can't let her turn and attack someone. I can't." She said trying to hold her tears.

"So what are you going to do?" Santana asked. "What needs to be done." Quinn said sghing. "Quinn, I'm so sorry." Sanatana said and hugged her friend for a while.

Quinn broke the hug and looked at the girl. "I need your help, S." Quinn said and Santana nodded. "Anything you want. Just tell me." She said.

"I need you to keep everyone inside while I do it. Can you do that for me? Please." Quinn asked with much difficulty.

"Of course, Quinn. Anything you need. But are you sure you want to do it yourself? You can always ask someone else to do it."

"Why don't you ask Puck to do it? He will do it if it spares you the pain." Santana said but Quinn shook her head.

"She is my mother. My responsibility I have to do it." Quinn said and Santana nodded. "Okay. I'll do what you asked me. Is it now?" Quinn shook her head.

"No, it's too early. I think it's better after lunch. What do you think?" Quinn asked and Santana looked at her and held her hands.

"I think it's perfect. You should take the chance and spent these few hours with her." Santana said and Quinn nodded.

"People may say what they want but you are one of the best friend I could ask for. I hope you know how much you mean to me." Quinn said.

"I may have said and done things to you but at the end of the day, I still love you. You and Brittany are my best friends and I would do anything for any of you."

"I also want to apologize if I ever offended you or said mean things to you and I'm sorry for talking in public about your boob job in junior year." Quinn said and Santana pushed her.

"I'm serious, I'm sorry. But you did tell everyone I was pregnant of Puck and not Finn so I guess we're even." Quinn smiled and so id Santana.

"I'm sorry about that. I shouldn't have done it." Santana apologized. "It needed to happen anyway. You ended up helping." Quinn said.

"I also consider you like my sister and well, Britt's my girlfriend so I love you two really much. Not in the same way, of course." Santana was saying when Brittany came towards them and sat on the other side of Quinn.

"What are you talking about?" Brittany asked. "About how we love each other." Quinn said and Brittany smiled.

"I remember when we all started at the Cheerios. Sue was terrible but we joined forces and didn't let her break us. And there it came to life, The Unholy Trinity." Brittany said as the other two smiled remembering.

"We all slept with Puck, almost at the same time. See how far our friendship goes? That's once in a lifetime kind of achievement." Santana said and they laughed.

"I do really love you guys so much. Frannie was my sister by blood but you girls are my sisters by heart. I hope you know that and always remember I will be here if you ever need me for anything. Except being in a threesome with you two." Quinn said and they laughed.

"We love you too, Quinn. Very, very much." Brittany said and the three of them laughed and hugged each other tightly.

Quinn did exactly what Santana, she tried to spend the most amount of time possible with her mother. What she was going to do was going to ask so much from her. She didn't know if she was ready but she knew that there was no other way.

As much as it would hurt her, it was the right thing to do. For everyone, her mother as well. She couldn't let her mother turn into one of those things.

The time had come. Quinn signaled to Santana, that understood that it was time for her to do what Quinn had asked of her. Quinn called her mother outside as everyone was finishing eating lunch.

"Quinn, what do you want to talk to me?" Judy asked and Quinn breathed deeply. "Let's take a walk first." She started walking and her mother followed her towards the back of the house.

"What is it Quinn?" Her mom asked again and she gathered her courage and said it. "Why didn't you tell me that dad bite you on the shoulder after he turned into a zombie?" Judy stopped and so did Quinn.

"How do you know about this? I haven't told anyone." Her mother asked confusedly as to how that information got to Quinn.

"I saw you taking a shower. Why didn't you tell me?" Quinn asked. "I thought it wasn't a big deal, that the wound would heal normally but…" Judy was saying and stopped.

"But it isn't healing, is it? It's getting worse." Quinn said and her mother nodded. "I don't know why or what's wrong with it." Judy said sincerely.

"Mom, I want you to listen to me very carefully, okay?" Nod. "The reason is not healing is because it's not a normal wound. Dad was a zombie by the time he bite you so it's not healing because it's infected with the same virus that turned people into those things."

"It's not going to heal. It will slowly kill you until it turns you into one of them." Quinn said and her mother was in shock.

"It's a way to spread it. I have seen it in every movie or series about zombies. That's why you have been feeling sick these past few days. It's killing you from the inside." Quinn said as tears fell down on her face.

"So I will become one of those monsters?" Judy asked. "Yes, I'm sorry." Quinn said. "And you asked me out here to kill me, am I right? That's why you insisted that we spent this morning together." Quinn was crying right now.

"I have no choice, I have to protect everyone. I can't put them, Beth, in danger. I'm so sorry." Judy hugged her daughter as tightly as she could.

"You are doing the right thing honey and I'm proud of you. You are a woman now. A responsible, beautiful woman but you will always be my little girl." Judy said and broke the hug wiping Quinn's tears.

"I am sorry for not being the mother you deserved. I should have protected you better from your father, from everyone who hurt you."

"I was weak and I failed but I know you are nothing like me and won't make the same mistakes that I did with your daughter. Because you are the strongest person I know and you are doing a wonderful job watching over everyone here."

"I am sure one day your daughter will know how lucky she is to have you as her mother as I am for having you as my daughter."

"I love you so much Quinn, more than you can imagine." Her mother said and she was crying. "I love you too. I always will." Quinn said and her mother nodded.

"It's time Quinn. I'm ready."
