Thank you all for reading, I guess I should probably keep this story going since people seem to like it, here ya go.
"This was such a fucking bad idea." Santana said as she leaned back against the bar and groaned. Honestly, she could have been talking about a lot of things, us staying up all night, us trusting Marley and Noah, us leaving the fate of the Bon Temp vampire race in the hands of my idiotic brother Blaine. My gut told me she was talking about the Blaine thing so that's what I went with.
"Santana it was your idea." I replied earning a nod from Marley. I had no idea why she was still here; didn't she have a crypt to get to or something. "And besides it'll work, Blaine would do anything for me."
"Talk about bullshit. I don't like putting my trust in the hands of some dumb human. If he fucks up I will personally fuck him and not in a good way." Marley said. Santana was pretty animate about hating Marley, but I liked to keep my dislike of her a little less obvious. Santana pulled out a gun and shot Marley right between the eyes.
"Santana what the hell?! You can't just do that!" Santana just shrugged and laughed as Marley got back up to her feet.
"I just did and you can relax. See she healed up all nice like." Santana continued to laugh even when Marley's fangs popped out. "That was fun Marley, but be careful around me, one day you'll actually piss me off and it'll be wooden bullets instead." Marley's teeth immediately retracted and she sat back down. "Good girl."
"Not to be rude, but why are you here?" I asked Marley.
"Because Noah thinks I'll glamour your simple minded brother. Plus Quinn doesn't trust Noah or I so that's why she went with him. Your little vampire pet is protecting your little idiot, it's very noble and stupid." Marley crossed her arms over her chest and gave me a fake smile. "Hope that answers your question." I wasn't exactly expecting Sam to come bursting through the don't but I guess that might be expected when we decided to shut down Sam's for the night.
"What in God's name is going on?" Sam asked.
"Um see we had a little emergency." Santana said looking to me for direction. I looked down at my feet before walking over and standing in front of Sam.
"Hi Sam, how are things?" I asked him.
"Don't try and change the subject Rachel. What kind of emergency?" Sam asked me before he looked over at Marley.
"It was a sort of like a…um…vampire emergency." I tried to explain. "Long story, we'll work extra shifts to cover this."
"Speak for yourself short stack, I ain't workin double time for no one." Santana said as she opened a beer. "Oh and also you might want to get out of here Sammie, cause you're gonna start thinking about how much you want to fuck Rachel and she's gonna hear your thoughts, then it's going to get all awkward." I turned around and gave Santana a death glare.
Santana's right I do want to sleep with Rachel, but I have no idea how to get in her pants.
"Ew Sam, shut up!" I snapped before taking the beer out of Santana's hand and taking a drink myself. "Look I know it's complicated and we're costing you money, and Sam really I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do about it now, except wait for Blaine to call."
"Rachel I trust you." Sam said sincerely. Santana stifled a laugh.
"Which loosely translates to Rachel I'd love to ravish you." Even Marley laughed at that, and it took a lot for me to keep my composure. I knew Sam was in love with me, but I hated that he had to be so obvious about it. Couldn't we just ignore it all, couldn't he just forget? All I wanted was to go home and wait for Quinn to return I was worried about her already.
"I think we should all head home and get some rest; we'll meet at my house tomorrow." I said, Sam nodded his head. "Oh sorry Sam not you, I meant just…" I nodded towards Marley and Santana. "But I'll be at work tomorrow…on time."
"Me too boss." Santana said saluting Sam. "Well I can't promise the whole on time thing, but still."
"Marley could you-." She was out the door in a flash, leaving nothing but footprints and her blood splattered all over the wall behind. "Okay what is her deal?"
"Probably PMSing, vampire cramps or something." Santana said as she hopped over the bar and wrapped her arm around my shoulder.
"Whatever, let's just get as far away from her as possible." Santana nodded in agreement. "Bye Sam, see you tomorrow."
…
Marley knocked on the door and waited patiently for someone to open it. As soon as she saw Kurt she grinned. "Hey man, I've heard you got the hook up." Kurt closed his pink Japanese bathrobe and smirked.
"What kind of fun are you looking for sweetheart? Coke, Mary Jane, Skag?" Marley crossed her arms over her chest and chuckled a little to herself. "What's so funny?"
"Nothin, but I figured you had something a little better since people were making such a big deal about it all. But if that's all you got." Marley turned around and started walking back towards the road.
"Wait! I've got your stuff!" Kurt yelled after her. Marley turned around and walked back towards the door. "Come on in, I think I know what you're looking for." Marley walked inside and looked around the place. Kurt was no stranger to trinkets, bongs, and drugs, from the smell of it he'd been smoking weed before Marley showed up.
"Nice digs." Marley said sitting down on the couch. She watched Kurt reach under the coffee table, and pull out a thin box that was taped to the underside. Kurt open the box and showed Marley the goods, six small vials of vampire blood sitting right in front of her.
"This what you were looking for?" Kurt asked. Marley wrapped her hand around Kurt's neck and threw him across the room.
"Unfortunately for you…it's exactly what I was looking for."
…
"You know what I miss?" I asked Santana as we sat on my front porch sipping ice tea and eating stale Wheat Thins.
"Hm?" Santana asked. There was something completely different about her I could tell. She was still her same old witty no b.s. girl when everyone was around, but when it was just the two of us, all that went away. She was vulnerable, she'd had it tough her whole life and that wasn't going to change, especially in this situation. I wonder why she always backed me up, I guess it was because I was the only family she had left.
"That cat the little grey one. It always used to come around, it was so warm and fuzzy." Santana laughed, genuinely this time, it wasn't that chuckle or sarcastic snicker that she usually did this was real. "Stop it."
"That cat was probably vicious, maybe it had rabies." Santana said with a shrug.
"Well it helped me." Santana stopped rocking in her chair and set her cup down.
"Really? It did?"
"Yeah. After my mom died, it came around a lot. I'd come out here trying to stop myself from crying and it'd cuddle up next to me and make me feel a little better about things. I guess…it was stupid of me to try and stay strong for Blaine-."
"But you did." Santana cut in. "You stayed strong because you are strong, not because of a cat. Those stupid vamps are in the right hands…well I mean Blaine will probably screw up, but I'm talking about before then."
"You have no faith in Blaine." I said. Santana picked up a pebble and tossed it out on the front yard. She was so amused by the thought that she didn't even respond. "He's supposed to call today and tell me what he knows so far."
"And what if he doesn't find out much? Or worse, what if they turn him into a vampire hating Nazi." I didn't want to hear that so that's exactly why Santana said it, she was the Queen of pushing buttons.
"That won't happen-."
"But what if it does?" She wasn't going to let this go, not until I responded.
"Then Noah will come up with something. He seems sort of like an Alpha or something; he'll know what to do." I said trying to be as certain as my uncertainty would allow.
"Bullshit." Santana said bluntly. "You want Quinn to be your night in shinning armor not Noah. If this plan goes to shit, we're going in blazing baby doll and it'll help to have Quinn, the vampire saint, on our side when we do so, but I don't think it'll be enough."
"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.
"I've got intel, and it's not good. The Fellowship is a little larger than we anticipated, and they're in a fortified base. Us plus two vampires isn't going to be enough." Santana explained.
"So what's our plan B…or is it plan D at this point?"
"I don't know yet, but I'll figure it out soon enough." Santana said confidently. I wondered how she could remain so gutsy even in the face of something we knew little about. This was a new world, one we'd just been placed in recently, unwillingly. It was exciting though, nothing like what I'd expected my life to be, it was so much better. "I'm a genius you know."
"Oh please." I reached over and nudged Santana.
"Shit how long do we have to wait?" Santana stood up and began pacing in front of me. "Can't it be night already? Do we have to wait for that? Can't they just show up in those coffins or something?" A smile began to form on my face, I couldn't help it.
"You're so enjoying this." I replied.
"Defs, you know me, violence is the answer at all times." Santana was wrong, I'd seen her be gentle, I'd seen her be caring and loving, violence was a part of her, but it wasn't all of her. "I just want to fuck somebody up. I haven't had a good fight in since those hicks tried to drain Quinn and even then she got to have all the fun."
"You're so antsy, calm down." I grabbed Santana's hand and held her in place. "Oh crap." I looked over Santana's shoulder at the approaching woman. "Incoming." Santana turned and smiled as soon as she saw the blonde.
"Hey firecracker, you stalking me? Cause that usually happens after we hook up." I rolled my eyes at Santana, I wish every girl she slept with new that she was a total goof.
"No I just heard that you guys were getting into some trouble." Santana and I exchanged looks, unsure about where this was headed.
"No more than usual. Why? You gonna arrest us?" That deserved an eye roll, but I held back. This Brittany girl made me a little nervous, mostly because she just showed up at my house unannounced and because she was clearly trying to get close to Santana.
"I don't have my handcuffs with me." Brittany said with a smirk. "But…I uh…want to help you guys out." Santana looked like she either wanted to jump Brittany's bones or run.
"Hey Rae, wanna help me get something to drink for Brittany?" Santana asked. I could tell by her tone that I had no choice, this wasn't up for debate. "Wait right here, we'll be back." Santana grabbed my hand and pulled me into the kitchen behind her. I went towards the refrigerator and pulled out a pitcher of tea. "What in God's name are you doing?"
"Getting Brittany a glass of tea." I said slowly wondering what the big deal was now.
"I only said that so I could get you alone." I looked around the room wondering how exactly I was supposed to take that comment.
"Santana I'm flattered, but I really would like to remain just friends-."
"For the love of...I meant I needed to get away from her." My level of confusion was increasing by the second. "Every time I'm around her I'm so damn attracted to her it's insane. She's irresistible."
"I fail to see the issue here. You like her, she likes you, I say go for it." If it was my blessing she wanted then she had it, Brittany seemed nice enough in my opinion.
"Something's…off about her. I mean no one's that hot and I feel like she wants to top me. I've never been topped in my life! I'm fucking untoppable. I need you to do your whole freaky mind thing so I can figure out what her motives are." I looked at Santana like she was crazy. I wasn't using my mind reading gift to scope out her hookup it wasn't right.
"Santana you're practically a detective, figure it out yourself. We have more important things to worry about than your sex life." Santana rolled her eyes and poured Brittany a glass of tea before leaving me in the kitchen with my cell phone burning a hole in my pocket. I'd been waiting far to long for a call.
I heard movement behind me and when I turned around, I was face to face with Marley. I was so wrapped up in waiting for a call that I didn't even realize all the blinds were closed. "Marley what the hell are you doing here?"
"You invited me over remember?" Marley said as she walked over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of Tru Blood.
"Yeah you're like 5 hours early." I said grabbing the bottle out of her hand. "Those are Quinn's, you own a vampire bar don't you have your own?"
"The bar's a bit occupied at the moment. But it's fine, if you don't want me to drink this, how about you give me a little taste of you." Marley was the creepiest person I'd ever met, she looked like a kind girl, but boy could looks be deceiving.
"Santana! Can you come here! Marley's freaking me out!" Santana was inside just half a second later.
"What are you doing here?" Santana asked. The front door opened and Brittany walked inside a moment later.
"Just hanging around, is that a problem?" Marley may have been a vampire, but she was stupid to have challenged Santana.
"Hey, if they don't want you around then you need to back off." For being just an average girl, Brittany didn't seem scared in the slightest. "Do you guys want me to get ride of this chick?"
"Nope, I've got it under control, Marley knows the rules, she'll be a good little vampire." Santana was about to go into a full on rant about how scare Marley was of her when my phone rang. I immediately picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey sis, sorry for checking in so late, but they schedule your day by the minute. Plus they're all about this religious crap, when can I come home?" Blaine asked.
"When you've found out something useful." I told him.
"Look all I know is they've got a chamber that they're keeping the vampires in." I put the phone on speaker so everyone could hear the information. "They hardly fed them anything, just enough to keep 'em alive or…not alive…you know what I mean."
"Is the place guarded? I mean both by men and a barrier or something?" Marley asked.
"Yeah from the looks of it it's nearly impossible to get in or out. They have 10 guards for the chamber, but the base has 50 guards around it. That's all I know for now." Blaine explained.
"Good work Blaine." I told him before hanging up. "This isn't good."
"I don't mean to sound intrusive, but what is going on here?" Brittany questioned.
"Nothing much, just a secret vampire co-op mission." I said with a shrug. "Shit Santana! We're going to be late!" I rushed upstairs to my bedroom to go and get my uniform. I pulled off the shirt I was wearing and then my shorts.
"This is hardly the time to worry about work obligations." Marley said as she entered my room.
"I really really hate to agree with her, but she's right. We should be thinking of a way to get into that compound." Santana leaned against the threshold of my door. "Marley if you take one more step towards Rachel then I'm gonna chop your pretty little head off." Marley backed off and I continued getting dressed.
"I promised Sam that we'd be there today." I told her. Santana rolled her eyes, grabbed my nametag off my dresser, and put it on for me. "And this will help get our minds off the situation. There's nothing we can do until Quinn and Noah get back anyway." Santana was annoyed mostly with the fact that I was right.
"Okay but what happened to everyone meeting at your house tonight?" Marley questioned.
"They'll just meet us at Sam's." I told them. "Now come on let's go."
…
"Sam if you point your finger at me one more time I'm gonna snap it in half." I honestly thought that Santana hated Sam, that or she really enjoyed giving him a hard time.
"Santana could you please just do this for me?" Sam pleaded with her.
"I'm not a cook, and besides I like being up here with the ladies. How the hell am I supposed to get my flirt on if I'm stuck in the back?" Kitty and I exchanged glances before Kitty raised her hand.
"I'll go in back; I'm tired of these guys trying to grab my ass." Kitty grabbed Kurt's chef apron out from under the bar and put it on. "I better be getting paid extra." Kitty ran her fingers through Sam's hair and laughed.
"Hey Kitty I'll give ya a little somethin somethin baby girl." Santana said over her shoulder.
"Santana, shut up." I told her playfully nudging her shoulder.
"What? I've got a thing for blondes." Santana said with a smirk. We waited for Sam to go back to his back office before laughing. "Riddle me this, why didn't Sam ask you to cook? Didn't he want to see you all sweaty in the back? God, he has no game."
"He's aware of that, Santana, so stop reminding him. It's cruel when you make fun of him, just leave him alone." I warned Santana. "Noah called Marley, apparently they're almost here."
"Good, I hate admitting it, but I miss Quinn she was cool to have around in a sappy I know she'll protect you kind of way." That was as good a compliment as any, and it certainly made me smile. "So did you guys hook up or what? Did she go straight for the bite? Cause that's some weird kind of foreplay. Is that the only place she bit you?" I looked around and saw Marley staring at me from across the room; she was such a pain to have around.
"We can talk about his later." I said quietly. "Stop being so nosy."
"Hey, Noah's here. Go out back." I didn't like taking orders from Marley but I was happy that Noah and Quinn were here. Santana and I left the bar in Kitty's hands, she'd be alright for a few minutes alone. As soon as we got outside Noah was waiting outside of the same vehicle we used to go buy the weapons.
"Took you guys long enough." Noah said with a frown.
"Okay vamp boy, calm your tits, we were just getting a little restless." Santana said. "Where's Quinn?" Noah didn't answer right away and that threw me off. Was Quinn sleeping in the back? Did she make a pit stop at her house?
"Where is she?" I repeated.
"Look-." Santana charged at Noah and shoved him against the car.
"What did you do?!" I'd never seen Santana get this mad, even when she was fighting someone she never actually got that upset. Noah just stared Santana, trying to calm himself down before speaking.
"It wasn't my fault." Noah started.
"Like hell it wasn't. What happened? Where is she?" I asked Noah.
"She decided to play hero. She saw them bringing in another vampire she wanted to stop them, she's lucky they brought her in and didn't kill her right then." This was not supposed to happen, we had a solid plan.
"We have to go back!" I commanded.
"Don't you think I know that, they still have my maker, but we can't just go in like we are now. Two vampires and two humans does not make a good plan." Noah opened up the back seat of the car and it was filled with weapons, a lot more than Santana had bought before. "We need backup."
"And how do you supposed we get it?" Santana said crossing her arms over her chest.
"I don't know don't you have some connections or something? You're a vampire, an old ass vampire, come on." Noah looked lost, and not at all confident, for once.
"Well Quinn has those two vampire friends, maybe they can help?" I suggested.
"It's a start." Noah said. "Look we can't do anything until tomorrow anyway. Marley come with me, we'll see if we can get help. Everyone meet at Fangtasia tomorrow, we'll set up a plan then. Don't worry I won't let your baby vamp die, she's with my maker." Something about Noah's loyalty to his maker made me feel a little better. "Marley get in the car." Marley did as she was told and Santana and I watched as they left.
"Well fuck." Santana muttered.
"Santana! Rachel! Get in here, your blonde friend is gonna kill someone!" Sam yelled. We didn't have time to think, just run. The scene that met us inside was not pretty. Brittany was standing face to face with some jerk, who looked like he was in no mood to be pissed off.
"Listen you little cunt, you don't want to mess with me, not tonight. Why don't you make yourself useful and wait in my truck, on your knees." Brittany's smile wasn't deceiving, I knew nothing about the girl, but I knew she was going to kick this guy's ass.
"Or I could just…" Brittany grabbed a stool and cracked the guy over the head with it, he was out cold, laying on the ground like a dead man. "Whoopsies." Brittany said with a giggle. "I got a little carried away." Santana grabbed Brittany's arm and pulled her into Sam's back office, I had little choice but to follow.
"What the hell was that?" Santana asked Brittany.
If I tell her then she'll get hurt. I can't let that happen.
"Tell her what? What are you hiding?" I asked Brittany. She turned and looked at me, I'm assuming she was just as shocked as everyone is when they find out that I can hear what they're thinking.
"Nothing."
"That's bullshit. You just put a dude to sleep with a stool, now talk." Santana was not messing around. I knew one thing for certain, she hated being lied to, Brittany was going to be in a world of hurt if she didn't fess up.
"He made me angry." Brittany said with a shrug.
"Do you normal act like a maniac when someone makes you angry?" Santana questioned.
"Do you?" Brittany retorted.
"I am so done with b.s. today, so I guess I'll just kick your ass." Santana went to swing at Brittany but the blonde grabbed her hand and…growled? "What the fuck was that?!" Santana asked, clearly she'd seen something that I hadn't. Santana looked like she'd seen a ghost or something.
"What? What was it?" I asked desperately.
"I think we just found our latest addition to the get Quinn out of Nazi jail team." Brittany turned and looked at me with a bubbly grin.
"Yay, I love helping people."
Thanks for reading, review and tell me what you think. There's a lot more to the people in Bon Temps than meets the eye.
