Santana woke up to an empty and cold bed, she looked at the bedside clock, hours past Brittany's work time, 'she must have shut off the alarm before it woke me' she thought, she got out of bed and went to the kitchen to make breakfast, she was having a peaceful day until she heard something in the storage room, she went to her room and got the katana/pen then went back to the door of the room and opened it carefully to show a scared Claudia for the sudden movement.
"Woman do you want to give a sister a heart attack?" asked the redhead holding her chest with both hands.
"The question would be," said Santana clicking the button on the handle of the katana to make it little "what are you doing here? What if Brittany was here? How would I explain it to her?"
"I didn't think about that... Lucky us she isn't here right?" asked Claudia sheepishly.
Santana narrowed her eyes menacingly and Claudia laughed lightly, knowing that Santana wouldn't hurt her.
"Well what do you want? What's so important that you have to visit?" asked the Latina.
"First of all I finally can teleport without suffering any kind of harm, I've been scaring Chloe, once she almost shot me, luckily Clark was there and he stood in the trajectory of the bullet, second I'm just visiting, I want to know more about Brittany and I want to see all your expressions while you talk about her"
"You are one hell of an annoying teen..." Santana groaned.
"Hey now, I'm not a teen anymore, remember, I'm twenty" Claudia corrected.
"Oh look at my girl all grown up, I'm so proud of you honey, come here let aunty Tana give you a big grandma kiss" teased Santana graving the girl and giving her two wet and noisy kisses, one on each cheek.
"Ewww, Santana" screeched the girl.
"That's what you get" said Santana pointing a finger at the girl "now come to the living room, I have some things to tell you"
"Like what?"
"I now think that Brittany truly hates me" announced Santana.
"Why would she hate you?" asked Claudia not believing what she was hearing.
"She told me this story from when she was younger, when her parents were killed, by a leather wearing, mask covered person, see the resemblance? Yeah she does to, so she's a bit wary of Veiled and I think she hates her for what she reminds her of, how she's being treating her is a prove of it" explained Santana.
"Well I got nothing for you... She doesn't have to precisely hate her maybe she is just wary and when you tell her, if you ever do, that you are veiled she may change her mind, though she could change her mind to worse..." said Claudia.
"Claud? Not helping here" stated Santana.
"Well sorry I'm not exactly an expert in this kind of things, inter-dimensional bubbles? I can say I have an unofficial master of twelve years on them, awkward? All you want and more but I know nothing about what you're going trough dude so I can't help you in other way than what I'm already doing" Claudia shrugged.
"And I thank you for what you are doing Claud, it's really helpful to have someone to listen" Santana spoke after a few seconds.
"Well tell me, have you used any of the things I sent you?" asked Claudia excited.
"I used the razor blades, they're awesome!" squeaked Santana.
"Cool, Artie wouldn't let me try even one so..." Claudia trailed off.
"And neither will I, you could hurt yourself or destroy something" Santana cut her off.
"You're no fun..." groaned the redhead.
"Better safe than sorry" replied Santana.
"Better safe than sorry" mocked Claudia "you sound like Artie, it's not cool"
"What have I told you Claudia?" asked Santana.
"That you don't want me to get in danger because you don't want to lose me... I know okay? But I'm old enough to know what's safe and what's not, please I designed worse weapons, I made some mini teslas and I didn't get hurt except that time I got... Yeah my hair was hard to tame after that..." Claudia trailed off.
"See? That's what I'm talking about, you could have died because of that" scolded Santana.
"But I didn't, we all have to take risks either way were not living"
"Look at you, full on philosopher"
"It's the truth, if you don't take risks you'll never know what might happen" said Claudia.
Santana thought that the kid was once again right and that she had to take the risk with Brittany and tell her that she was veiled fairy.
"You know what? You're right, and I will take the risk, thank you Claudia" said Santana.
"No prob, what are you thanking me for though?"
"You'll know some day, now go, I'm going to ask Myka or Chloe for advice" ordered Santana.
Claudia made a military pose and then went to the room followed by Santana, they said their goodbyes and Claudia used the machine to teleport back to the warehouse.
Santana sighed and went back to the living room. She thought for a while and a song came to live in her head so she went to get her lyric book. She started writing the second she was seated cross-legged on the couch and with the notebook open on a clean page.
'Feels like I have always known you
And I swear I dreamed about you
All those endless nights I was alone
It's like I spent forever searching
Now I know that it was worth it
With you it feels like I am finally home
Fallen head over heels
Thought I knew how it feels
But with you it's like the first day of my life
Cause you leave me speechless
When you talk to me
You leave me breathless
The way you look at me
You managed to disarm me
My soul is shining through
Can't help but surrender
My everything to you
I thought I could resist you
I thought that I was strong
Somehow you are different from what I've known
I didn't see you coming
You took me by surprise
And stole my heart before I could say no
Fallen head over heels
Thought I knew how it feels
But with you it's like the first day of my life
Cause you leave me speechless
When you talk to me
You leave me breathless
The way you look at me
You managed to disarm me
My soul is shining through
Can't help but surrender
Oh no
My everything to you
You leave me speechless
(The way you smile, the way you touch my face)
You leave me breathless
(It's something that you do I can't explain)
I'd run a million miles just to hear you say my name
Baby
You leave me speechless
You leave me breathless
The way you look at me
You managed to disarm me
My soul is shining through
Can't help but surrender
My everything to you'
She wrote the whole song by heart and even had a few tears running through her face, the song was pure love, something she had never felt until now and she knew she wouldn't show it to the blonde but she was going to put it on her album, on both versions so everyone could get to listen to it and feel a portion of the love she felt, she had fallen hard and fast for the blonde and now nothing could stop her for finally falling in love with her, though maybe the feeling wouldn't be reciprocated when Brittany finally learned her secret.
Time had gone faster than she though and it was an hour and a half before the blonde got out of work and came back so she went to her gym to work out a little.
"San, I'm back" said the blonde loudly when she didn't find the other woman in the living room.
"I'm in the gym" came the muffled reply "I'll come out in a sec but I'll take a shower though so if you want you can watch some TV while you wait"
"Okay, can I play with your Xbox?" asked the blonde when she saw the shiny black Xbox 360.
"Do whatever, just keep yourself entertained" answered Santana coming out of the gym/storage room and going to hers.
Brittany played left 4 dead for a little while, the while Santana used to shower, come out fresh and with still wet hair and cook something for both of them.
"I wrote a song today, it's already finished" announced the Latina while stirring the pans contents.
"Cool, I'll take a look at it" said Brittany.
"Nope, you don't get to know this song until it comes out with the album in a month and a half" Santana said, making the blonde groan.
"Why?"
"Because I say so" Santana said smugly.
"You're evil" Brittany whispered jokingly while narrowing her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever"
"Well that means that you only have to write five more songs right?" asked the blonde.
"Yup, five more songs and I'll be finished" answered Santana.
"Well we might as well get to them right?" said Brittany.
"Not right now, my... In other time okay? Right now I just want to relax a little, you want to keep killing zombies when we finish eating?" proposed the Latina.
"Sure thing, I want to see for myself if you're as good killing zombies as you are singing or cooking" accepted the tall woman.
"You'll have to wait and see"
They finished eating and went to the living room after washing the dishes they had used and Santana started a second controller, starting also a new campaign for two players this time.
"Let's kill dead people" she said when their game started.
They spent hours killing zombies and finally, sometime before midnight, they went to sleep.
