I apologize for the long wait, but I was really trying to enjoy my summer as much as possible. I hope you all enjoyed your summer! I won't keep you any longer from the story. Enjoy!

Guest: Thanks! Enjoy this chapter!

: Sorry about the long wait! I hope this was worth it though!

Yanval: I know, I didn't want to kill Puck off, but it had to be done! At least Santana is now in the picture. Lol.

Alexbass: Lol. Glad to know I surprised you. Haha. Omg, that room full of clickers was so hard for me when I first played the game. Lol. Quinn will have to face harder things than a room full of clickers. Well, Puck isn't exactly dead yet... Lol. And same here, not many Quinntana apocalypse settings are around from what I've seen.

THE LAST OF US

Chapter Six

She couldn't even argue with the man as he closed the door on her. She felt a trail of water fall down to her cheek. Subconsciously, she went to touch it and looked at her finger. She wiped her eyes and sniffled a couple of times, but refused to cry. She wasn't going to cry. Not now… First, she had to get Dani out of the city. She pushed all her sorrowful emotions down and turned around, running to catch up to the Latinas. As much as she didn't want to leave Puck behind, she had to. Puck wouldn't want her to come back for him. At least not yet…

"So, where were you all this time?" Dani asked Santana after a while of pure silence. It had only been a few minutes since Dani parted ways from Puck and Quinn but she was already missing the two. She looked up at the darker woman and stopped walking when she didn't answer. "Well mom? Or should I even call you that anymore?" Dani exclaimed, finally feeling all her pent up emotions against her mother snap.

Santana sighed as she finally turned around to look at her daughter. "Listen, Dani… I'm really sorry about everything okay? I didn't mean to just up and leave you, sweetie." Santana said, giving Dani a sad look. Dani only stayed quiet and glared at her mother. She had so many questions to ask her and she wanted to know them, she just couldn't word them. She opened her mouth but closed it, shaking her head as if changing her mind. "You should've just stayed wherever you were…" She muttered out.

Santana was about to say something but stopped when she heard a loud crash from behind them. She quickly pulled Dani behind a couple of desks and leaned over her to cover Dani. Dani only stayed quiet as she tried to focus on the sounds. The two went quiet when they heard the door jingle a bit before it was pushed open and something hit the floor, along with a grunt. Dani pushed Santana's arm away from her as she peeked around to see who or what it was. A smile came to her lips when she saw blonde hair. "Quinn!" Dani exclaimed, quickly pushing her mother off and ran over to the older blonde. She stopped when she saw a dead infected on the floor and walked over it to get to Quinn.

Quinn only offered an awkward smile and scratched the back of her neck. "I thought you and Puck were going back." Dani said. Quinn shook her head and crossed her arms. "Well we were, but I didn't feel right. Puck agreed but he decided to go back to handle our business while I dropped you off. We're not ones to leave our job half assed." She explained. She looked past Dani when she saw movement from the corner of her eye and sighed when she saw it was only Santana walking over them.

"Well we appreciate it, but I can handle this." Santana said. Quinn only quirked an eyebrow and looked at the older Latina with an amused look. Santana only rolled her eyes and scoffed at the reaction she got from the blonde woman and reached for Dani. "Let's go Dani. I can take care of things. I'm your mother after""No, you don't get to call yourself that!" Dani cut off, making Santana arch an eyebrow. Quinn narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the two. "You lost that privilege when you left me all those years ago. Rachel told me to go with Quinn. So either you fucking agree to her tagging along, or I leave with her!" Dani snapped.

Quinn looked up to Santana as they waited for the other woman's response. The blonde ran a hand through her hair and sighed when she saw the hurt in her eyes. "Okay…" Santana muttered, giving Quinn a sharp look. Quinn only chuckled and shoved her hands in her jacket's pockets. "We should get moving. It would be better for us if we get there when the sun is out." Quinn said, walking past the two Latinas.

Dani only glared at Santana for a few seconds before walking after Quinn. Santana stayed there a few moments longer, pushing the feelings of guilt down and went after the two. Quinn looked to her side and shook her head when she saw Dani looking up at her with a small smile. She swallowed the lump in her throat and walked ahead. "Listen kid, just because I didn't feel right with leaving you with your mom, doesn't mean I like ya. I still think you're a little shit." Quinn said, causing Dani to frown a bit.

"If you don't like me, why did you come back? Puck was better." Dani muttered. Quinn stopped walking and turned to look at Dani with a cold look. "You don't know shit okay, so how about you keep quiet and we'll be our separate ways soon!" Quinn snapped. Dani was completely taken back from the sudden reaction but before she could do or say anything, Santana was already stepping up between them. "Okay, I don't know what you're problem is but you don't ever talk to her like that!" Santana yelled, standing in front of Quinn.

Quinn scoffed and only took a step forward. "And who the hell do you think you are, stepping up to me like that? Last I saw, Dani doesn't even think of you as her mother!" Quinn retorted back. Santana was lifting her hand to hit Quinn but stopped when Dani suddenly yelled. "Shut up! Both of you! Jesus! For fuck' sake, what crawled up both your asses?!" Dani cried out. She shoved past both of them. Both Quinn and Santana only glared at each other before finally walking away.

The sun was beginning to rise when they finally got around downtown. Dani smiled when she saw the sun coming up. They were currently on the roof of one of the more stable skyscrapers, and were using a ladder as a bridge to cross to the next building, which was leaning on hills. "Well, we can see the capital building from here." Quinn informed, pointing to a yellow domed building. Dani grinned at the view while Quinn set the ladders down. "Man, you can't deny that view though…" Dani mumbled before carefully climbing up on the ledge and walk over the ladders to the other building.

Quinn couldn't help but smile at Dani's words before looking at the sun rise. The girl had a point. Her smile quickly fell when Santana stepped next to her. "Just keep in mind that she's my daughter, and you're only helping us till the capitol." She said before following her daughter. Quinn mentally rolled her eyes at Santana and shrugged it off before going after the two Latinas.

The road was pretty quiet, as most infected stayed hiding when the sun was out. Quinn was grateful for that. She didn't have to worry all too much over them. It was hunters and other people they would have to worry about, but it seemed as if they didn't have to worry about it, as she was now able to see the capitol building just a street away.

"Hey look! There it is!" Dani exclaimed, running ahead. "Danielle, hold on!" Santana called out. Quinn continued to walk, watching the two Latinas run. She couldn't help but chuckle at how calm that felt… like they were just running to run, as if they weren't delivering Dani to The New Directions. She was snapped from her thoughts when she heard a snap and saw Dani looking up at her with a slightly worried look.

"What?" Quinn asked, a bit annoyed. Santana was walking up ahead, checking where she was stepping, since up ahead the road was over flooded. "I can't swim." Dani stated. Quinn groaned and ran a hand through her hair, a habit she was getting apparently when annoyed. She watched as the water got higher on Santana's legs. "It doesn't seem to be deep on this side." Santana called out.

Quinn nodded and followed Santana. "Well you heard your mom. Stick to the left side kid." Quinn instructed, grimacing when her pants were getting wet. She would look back occasionally to make sure Dani was okay before walking where she saw Santana had walked by. "I'm glad you came back…" Dani suddenly said.

The older blonde stayed quiet as she felt that the young girl still wanted to say more. "It would've been nice if Puck would've stuck around. I liked him…" Dani added. Quinn felt a lump form in her throat but did her best to keep it at bay. "Not like we had much of a choice." Quinn mustered out.

She glanced back when she heard Dani chuckle. "I'm just trying to say thanks." Dani said, walking past Quinn and catching up to her mother. Quinn only looked at Dani's retreating form as she pushed back the tears. "Well, this is it. I appreciate you coming along." Santana said. Quinn cleared her throat and gave Santana a tight lipped smile and a curt nod.

"Well, this is it…" Dani mumbled as Santana opened the doors. The three walked in, only to see bodies all over the floor. Santana quickly ran over to the bodies and began searching through their pockets. "No fucking way…" Dani mumbled. She turned to look at Quinn, who began to shake her head when she recognized the look on the girl's face. "No no no no no… I brought you here already. Rachel only said to bring you to the capital building so it would be easier to get you out of the city." Quinn said.

Dani scoffed and turned to face Quinn directly. "So you're just gonna leave us?!" She exclaimed. Santana suddenly stood up and looked at Quinn with slight hurt. "You'd leave Dani here on her own if I didn't show up?! That's my daughter you're thinking of just leaving." Santana said, getting ready to step up to Quinn again.

Before Quinn could retort back, the doors suddenly opened and a pale looking Puckerman came barging through. "Puckerman?" Quinn questioned. Dani quickly ran to the man and hugged him. Puck only gave a light hearted smile and hugged Dani back before pulling her away to look at the two women with a more serious expression.

"What is it Puckerman?" Quinn asked when she saw his expression. Puck groaned slightly and reached for his forearm. "I was going to go up the roof, but I saw a whole bunch of military trucks coming towards the capitol building. I had to come warn you…" He said. Santana furrowed her eyebrows and looked back to the bodies.

"It looks like they beat us here apparently..." She said, motioning to all the dead bodies. Puck cursed under his breath and leaned against the wall. "Fuck…" He muttered. Quinn sighed and put a hand on his shoulder. "You didn't have to come all the way here Puck. I shouldn't have left you back there either. We got the girl here, and now she has her mother. Let's go ba-" She was cut off when she heard trucks outside, followed by voices.

Quinn's eyes widened as she looked from Puck to Dani and Santana. "How the hell did they know we were going to be here?!" She whispered. Puck quickly pushed Quinn to Dani and Santana, making the blonde woman confused. "Go, I'll keep them busy… Quinn…" He called, waiting for Quinn to respond. "What?" She asked, reaching for him.

"You take that girl to Sam… Sam used to roll with Rachel's group. He'll know where the New Directions camp is." He said. Quinn began to shake her head while Dani and Santana only looked in confusion. "No, I can fight too Puck." Quinn started, but stopped when Puck only shook his head. "I'm already a dead man Q, Please…" He said, giving Quinn that look that left no argument.

Quinn sighed and looked at Puck with a sad expression. She wanted to refuse and stay but she knew Puck would only be disappointed with her if she did. "Let's go…" She said in a soft yet stern tone. "What?!" Dani exclaimed. Quinn only ignored the girl and gave Santana a look. As if understanding what the blonde was saying, Santana nodded and pulled Dani. "Dani, we need to go." Santana said. Dani looked between the three adults as if she were missing something, but the look on all their faces made her listen to them and so she followed after Quinn and Santana.

Quinn went through another door and looked around, choosing which way was best to go. "This is bullshit! We can't just leave him on his own! We have to help him!" Dani exclaimed. Santana groaned and turned around to look at Dani. She kneeled down and put her hands on the girl's shoulders."Listen Dani; there wasn't anything we could do for him. Now, I want you to stick to Quinn no matter what okay?" Dani only sniffled and nodded at her mother. Santana gave her a nod and looked at Quinn, waiting for the blonde's instructions.

"You two follow me and stick with me no matter what. Don't do anything unless I tell you to, got it?!" Quinn said, running up the stairs. Both Latinas nodded and followed behind.

Again, I apologize for the long wait. I really didn't think I was going to be gone for the whole summer, but hey, I'm back. And as I promised, updates will happen once or every other week. I love hearing from you guys, whether it be in a review or a private message! Let me know your thoughts! Also, If you don't know already, Hakuna-fuckin-Matata will no longer be writing stories. I talked with her and she was okay with me continuing any stories she had started. So if you were a really big fan of her stuff and wish for one of her stories to be continued, please let me know! I will probably try to get at them after I finish this story. If not, then I will work on my own stuff or other ideas she had but never got to, unless you guys have requests as well.
