Previously on The Walking Dead
"What? What are you talking about?" She asked while the others just looking at the latina curiously.
"It's dangerous. He's going to turn." Santana explained.
"Turn?" this time it was Quinn who asked. Santana turned around to see the guys behind. "Yeah. When we on the road. We found this man and his family getting attacked by the walkers. Unfortunately we can't safe the whole family and just this man but he was bitten yet again we didn't know that time. So we took him with us. After few hours he started getting warm and heat up. Fever and worse we were worried and kept getting them some medicine but it didn't work and the fever wouldn't stopped so he died and not too long he got back as one of those things so we need to put him down before he could do any damage for us." Santana explained.
Their expression was as if they just seen a ghost and Santana could tell that they were in horror after hearing what Santana just said.
Tina checked on Artie and soon enough he stopped breathing and Tina checked on his wrist just to find out that he's dead. "No! Come on Artie!" She shouted shaking his lifeless body with tears streaming her face. "Get away from him!" Santana shouted, Tina looked at her dumbfounded not believing what she said just holding him with her.
Then Artie's eyes wide open...
Santana, Quinn, Sam and Jake just stood there with Tina still on the bed. They all could see that Artie slowly opening his eyes. They gasped looking at their friend.
"Artie..." Tina whispered. They heard a moan coming from Artie's mouth. His eyes slowly drift to Tina who still next to him. Then the moan was replaced with a growl from him. Tina's eyes widened as she saw him slowly standing up from the bed grabbing her by the arm.
By the time she realized that what Santana had said was true he already trying to attack her and grabbed her tight, she pushed him away and saw it crawling toward her growling. Quinn, Sam and Jake frozen on their feet while Santana stepped forward and raised her gun.
When Tina failed to push him more, Artie climbed on top of her. Just when his teeth about to tear Tina's flesh, a loud shot going straight through his thick skull, falling his dead back down on the ground.
"Oh my god..." Tina muttered pushing the walker off her body. "No... No way..." Sam mumbled looking at his best friend while Quinn and Jake just stood there processing things.
Santana stepped forward to check on Tina and make sure that the walker of Artie was dead. Santana run her hand through her hair in frustration. "Another lose..." She muttered looking at the corpse. "See... this is what I was talking about. They're not people they're dead once those bastards put their teeth on their flesh." Santana told them still looking at the corpse.
"What – How – How do you know alot about all these things?" Quinn asked.
"Because I watch them die. I was there when this all started and thats what exactly we do to survive all this mess. I suggest you get rid of the body as soon as possible and if any of you are bitten don't hide or keep it to yourself because that would happen when you did that." Santana answered and walked out of the room leaving the other survivors think this through.
Its been three months since the walkers started roaming around hunting for the leaving, its been three months Santana and the group staying in the motor inn. Around that times they found themselves getting along just fine.
Rachel always playing with Brittany and the other girls but she seems attached with Quinn for the past couple months. Santana is happy to see that Rachel seems happy here.
Santana grown fond just well with the rest of the group as well. She's getting close with the team talking about hunting supplies, getting the job together.
She learned that Brittany was a dancer and a teacher for little kiddies here in Lima before all this started, Tina and Mercedes were working on a local music store, Ryder and Sam are both business men in Lima, while Marley, Jake and Kitty were both still in high school the three of them were junior when this all started.
And the last Quinn was one of the best lawyer in town who owned her own Law Firm from her parents.
After the past months, Mercedes had learn that Santana and group are trustworthy so she back off them.
The teens constantly hang out together and playing with Rachel most of the time.
That day, Rachel was drawing using Brittany's crayons that she gave her. "Hey Rach..." Rachel looked up to see who it was. She saw Quinn smiling at her kneeling so she was on the same height as the little girl.
"Oh hey Quinnie..." Rachel answered smiling at the older blonde. Quinn grinned hearing the nick name, its been long since someone called her that, the only people who calling her that was her parents and her parents didn't make it when they trying to get out of the town.
"What are you doing?" She asked looking at the desk.
"Oh nothing, I'm just about to color this." Rachel answered showing her what she drew, "It's beautiful Rach." Quinn said looking at the houses that Rach drew.
"Thank you... I love drawing and I love singing too. My mom usually sing for me when I went to bed, she has a really beautiful voice, my dad too. They got me this karaoke thingies once." Rachel said suddenly feel sad all over again. Quinn noticed the sadness tones of the little girl.
"Hey you know what? I can always sing with you how about that?" Quinn asked smiling.
Rachel's eyes beamed lite as she heard that, "Really?! Yes! I would love that, but can you even sing Quinnie? Because my mommie has a really beautiful voice!" she said proudly.
Quinn chuckled and happy that Rachel's not that sad anymore.
"Oh I'll show you later." Quinn answered grinned when Rachel giggled at her. "Okay! Pinkie promises?" She said holding out her pinkie to Quinn. "Pinkie promises." Quinn confirmed linking their pinkies together.
"Quinnie, where's Tana?" Rachel asked. "She's going out on a hunt with Kitty and Sam." Quinn answered. Rachel nodded. "Okay." She said and get back to color the picture.
"Rachel, I'll be back later okay. I need to check on the guys." Quinn said. Rachel looked up and smiled, "Yeah, be careful Quinnie." She said. Quinn smiled and kissed her on the cheek. "See you later sweety." She said and walked away.
Few hours later, Santana and the others finally made it back, Rachel then run to give her a hug. "Tana you're back!" She shouted throwing herself in a hug. Santana chuckled and hugged her back. "Hey honey..." Santana said patting Rachel's hair. "Of course I am munchkin. How was your day?" She asked giving the guys the supplies as the others putting them away and started to get in their works.
"It was good! I was drawing with Brittany and Quinnie." She answered excitedly pulling away.
"That's great sweety." Santana told her. "Okay sweety, why don't you go back with Marley for a little. I need to talk to the others." She said gently.
"Okay Tana." She said and give her one last hug and skipped to where Marley and Jake were standing at.
The day was getting dark Santana walked around the motor inn after the hunt with Kitty and Sam and found herself inside Puck's truck by herself. Puck was on the watch with Ryder and Mike when he saw his best friend went that way so he excused himself and followed her.
"Hey boss what's up? He asked as he approached her.
Santana turned around and saw Puck standing in front of her taking her out of her mind. "Oh hey Puck. Nothing just thinking." She shrugged. "What about?" He asked. "Just the things that happened before all this. About those walkers practically just on us every damn time they had a chance and how we had to put them down with our hands." Santana answered running her hand through her hair and sighed. "I'm a homocide detective and now I'm just a fucking killer." She grunted in frustration.
"Whoa Lopez, you're not. We're not. They're not people, we just do what had to be done end of story. This isn't the world we used to live on anymore boss, so don't think like that." He told her. "So if you're a killer then I'm a killer too." He joked trying to lite the mood.
Santana chuckled and sighed once again. "You don't understand Puck." She said.
"What don't I understand?" Puck asked back. "I left my own wife alone. Hell I don't even know if she still alive or not. It's the same like I fucking killed her." Santana said standing up and trying to walk away when Puck put a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, like I said we need to do what had to be done. Hell, I don't even know how my family doing so do Mike. And what exactly happened with you and her anyways? You've been in shitty mood before all this happened?"
"She cheated, she fucked some bastard in my own house, can you believe it? I went to work and what she did in the house? Hell I should've killed the bastard I wish that fucker rot in those zombies teeth all over his fucking ass." Santana answered kicking the car in frustration and drew some of the group attention.
"Hey calm the fuck on. i understand you're upset but calm your ass, this isn't the right time to do that." Puck said hold her by the shoulder.
Santana sighed and looked at him, "Shit! Sorry man. I just I just so damn angry with her, but that didn't make what I did was less wrong. I just left her in the house alone and do nothing, hell I didn't even trying to come back and see her." She explained.
Puck then pulled her on a embrace. "It's alright boss, I'm sure she can take care of herself and it isn't your fault you was angry." He reassured, Santana pulled away from him. "OF course it was my fucking fault Puckerman! I'm going back there." She told him, Puck stared at her in disbelief.
"Are you fucking kidding me? We already put ourselves on the line when we headed here months ago. And now you're telling me that we're going back to that fucking city full of walkers!? Get your brain outta your ass Lopez!" Puck shouted drawing more attention. Mike saw his best friends and walked forward to see what was going on.
Santana punched him on the face, "Fuck you Purkerman!" She shouted, once the group saw Santana hitting him they all go there to see what the two cops was fighting about.
"What the fuck Lopez!" Puck shouted wiping the blood from his mouth.
"I'm not asking for your permission and I was just telling you that I'm going back! I didn't ask you to fucking come with me either!" Santana yelled trying to get him again and Mike stepped forward to hold her.
"You know what? I don't fucking care! Go and just leave that little girl you said you was taking care of and find your fucking wife! Now you're gonna leave her here? What are you thinking Lopez? Or you just want to leave her here? Is that exactly the reason of this? We have group in here, we got to think about the group right here right now." Puck fired back.
Santana was seeing red by now, How dare he said that about her. What if Rachel heard that didn't he had any tiny brain on that shit he called his head,' she thought.
"Let me go Chang! I'm gonna end that fucker! Shut the fuck up Puck! You don't know shit! You crossed the line, you had no right saying those things about me!" She shouted. Quinn and the other group just standing there watching the two cops bickering at each other while Mike struggled to keep Santana on hold.
"Hey what the hell are you all doing just standing there? Help me out here!" Mike snapped so Sam stepped forward and helped him hold Santana on their arms while Jack and Ryder trying to calm Puckerman on the other side.
They saw Rachel was standing in front of her room watching them with tears on her eyes and running back inside.
"Fuck you Puck!" Santana yelled and pushing the two boys out of her grasp. With one last glare to Puck she goes straight to her room.
"Hey sweety." Santana said as she stepped inside the room, she found Rachel on the bed holding her walkie talkie while staring at it like it was the most important thing in the worlds.
Santana frowned getting no answer from the little brunette girl. "Hey... are you ok?" She tried again and stepped forward and saw that she was crying. "Shh..." She said pulling her on a hug. "You – you're going to leave me, aren't you? First my – my parents and then Harmony and – and now you..." Rachel said in a small voice between her sobs that breaking Santana's heart.
"Shhh.. I'm not going to leave you Rach..." Santana said patting her back as she hugged her.
"That's not true... I heard you and Noah talking outside and you said you want to leave... and then he said you just want to leave me... I – I don't have –" Rachel tried to say through her sobs. "Hey... listen to me sweety, I'll never leave you... I promise.. You're stuck with me munchkin, you trust me right?" Santana told her.
Rachel looked up and saw Santana eyes, she was also crying so she wiped her tears. "Okay.. I trust you.." Rachel said smiling at her and throw herself in a bear hug with Santana.
Santana found herself smiling at the tiny brunette as she hugged her tighter. "So you're not going to leave me right?" Rachel asked once again.
"No. I would never do that Rach." Santana answered as she sighed in relief when Rachel stopped crying.
"Okay.." Rachel said pulling away from her embrace. Rachel yawned as she sat down on the bed. "Sleep honey, it's getting late." She told her gently. "Okay. Goodnight Tana." Rachel said kissing her on the cheek and lay down on the bed.
"Sweet dream honey." Santana tucked her in and walked out of the bedroom.
It's getting dark outside, she noticed that the group was just staring at her. Mike, Sam, Brittany and Quinn are talking in front of the van while Ryder, Tina and Mercedes was on watch on top of the van. Marley, Jake and Kitty are chatting near the corner of the motor inn "What are you idiots looking at?" She snapped, the group immediately looking away from the latina.
Quinn rose her eyebrow, "Oh nothing Lopez we simply just admiring the beautiful cloud on the sky," Quinn said sarcastically. Santana smirked, she liked the blonde attitude then walked to join the rest of the group.
"Where's Rachel?" Marley asked, she stood with her boyfriend and bestfriend on the corner eating canned soup with the others.
"She's sleeping." Santana answered. Marley nodded and Brittany came to her showing her something and they all laughed at whatever the bubbly blonde was showing them.
Santana then noticed that Puck wasn't there. She sighed in relief not wanting to deal with him just yet.
"So boss, what was that all about?" Mike decided to ask as the others' also waiting for the answer.
"I'm going back.." was all Santana said.
"Back where?" Mike asked not liking where this is going. "Back to the city." Santana answered.
"What?!" Almost every single one of the group said in unison. "Are you serious San? What is it about its been months." Mike asked.
"Yeah Mike, I need to find my wife. I couldn't just leave her there no knowing about any of this. I need to get back to the city." Santana answered.
"I don't think that's a good idea. You knew exactly how the city was and it was only few days after the accident when we got out of there and its been moths since that. Hell I don't even know how is it now in there anymore." Mike reasoned.
"Well, I would rather knowing that they are dead and do things about it than not knowing that they still alive or worse dead and just sitting around." Santana answered playing with her pistol.
"And what about Rachel?" Quinn joined in looking at the latina, she grown fond with the little girl and already treat her as if she was her own.
"I'll take her with me." Santana answered shrugged. Quinn stood up. "What!? Are you kidding me right now? You're going to take that little girl with you to the city full of walkers?" Quinn shouted.
"Hey calm down Fabray. Last time I check she's my responsibility. What's your deal anyways?" Santana fired back.
"Oh of course I have a fucking deal with it Lopez! She just a little girl and she's my responsibility now since you walked inside our camp, she saw the worse enough on her own house without her fucking parents you said it yourself! And now you're telling us that you're gonna take her with you came back to the city that reminded her of all those things. And here I thought you really care of her." Quinn snapped, the other just watching the two leader of the group. This is the first time they seen Quinn snapped like that.
"Hey watch it Fabray! I don't fucking care if your whole group are in here. I will end you if you say that I don't fucking care about her." Santana said stepped forward facing her.
"Then why are you doing this? Taking her with you when you know exactly what would happen there. You said it yourself that we got to do what had to be done and now you're the one doing this shit. You know what I don't care if you wanna go back there, just leave Rachel here with us." Quinn fired back.
"You had no right Fabray! I can't just leave her I promised I'll never leave her!" Santana shouted, Quinn took a step forward now their faces just inches away, "Well then you're going to break that promise because there is no way in hell I'm letting you go with her. Try me Lopez." She dared. Mike noticed the tension was getting heated up so he stood up. "Alright, you guys tune it down you don't want to wake her up do you?" Mike tried to calm her down. "Yeah guys, there is no use for this." Sam added worried about the fight Santana had with Puck before.
With that the girls seemed to calm a bit, but Santana kept glaring at the blonde so did the blonde with her.
"Fuck!" Santana hissed kicking the rock in frustration and walked away she need to get away from there to clear her mind.
"San!" Mike shouted but she just ignored her mumbled some curses in spanish. "Let her go Mike." Quinn told her. "But.." He rejected. "Just let her go.. its been a long day, she need it." She explained. Mike nodded and turned back to the others.
