Author's note: Wow, sorry for taking so long to update! I lost my muse & it's slowly coming back. I hope you enjoy the story :)

Quinn didn't need any help from her alarm clock to wake up on this specific Monday morning. Her dream had left her clutching at her sheets with a thin layer of sweat glistening on her skin. Dream wasn't a very appropriate word for it though, it was more of a memory, a memory that had haunted her since the day it had occurred. She ran her tongue along her fangs and quickly retracted them back as she sat up in bed, using her sheets to wipe away the sweat on her forehead. It wasn't often that she had dreams about Adrian, but when she did, they were just like that, the bad memories. It wasn't a surprise though, considering she had spent the last eighty years of her life running from him, escaping the hold that a sire has on their creation. Eighty years of running from small town to small town, never staying more than a year, it was the perfect amount of time to complete her mission in each town and then move right along to the next. Seventy-five of those years were spent traveling alone, but that changed five years ago when she had lived in Seattle, Washington. The reason for those changes was standing in her bedroom door, a glass of water in her hand and a concerned expression on her face.

"Did you have the bad dream again, Q?" Brittany sat down on the edge of her bed and handed her the glass of water, which Quinn took and had a few gulps of. "I heard you screaming, it's been awhile since you had those…"

"Just bad dreams, Britt, they don't mean anything." Quinn gave her a reassuring smile and patted Brittany's thigh before handing her the glass back. "Come on, we need to get ready for school, I know how much you love the first day."

Brittany just smiled that childlike smile of hers and rushed out of the room to get ready, leaving Quinn in her own thoughts as she climbed out of bed. Having Brittany in her life had been a complete surprise and not something in her plans. She had been a girl at the high school in Seattle who offered to show her around, befriended her without knowing anything about her. The two girls had clicked instantly and they were inseparable, sort of like long lost sisters. Quinn had known though that eventually she would have to leave Brittany behind, because it was dangerous for her to travel with companions and once her secret was out, well who could look at her the same? But Brittany was devastated at the news of Quinn moving away, their plans to go to college together now completely shattered. It had broken Quinn's heart, so she did what she swore she would never do, she turned Brittany into a vampire.

The past five years had not been easy, in fact Quinn was sure that she never wanted to deal with a new born vampire ever again. The issue was that Brittany was always hungry and trying to hide bodies in small towns was never easy. People going missing every week was something that started looking suspicious after week two in towns with populations no greater than 500. They would take trips to the closest cities, indulging in how ever much blood they needed until finally Brittany could control her cravings. Quinn knew Brittany's biggest fear was that she might hurt a child one day, her conscious was uneasy enough killing adults but Quinn had explained to her that it was part of their nature. She promised her sister though that she would protect her no matter the cost, it was going to be the two of them for eternity.

Killing was not something she did for pleasure but for necessity. She did not feel guilty for what she was, it was blood that was needed to keep her alive and she could not feel guilty for something she could not control. Quinn had tried living off animal blood for a few years but it left her weak and she could not afford being weak. If Adrian were to find her… No. Thinking of him was something she would not allow herself to do. Letting him into her mind would make it easier for him to find her, she was sure of it. It was why the memories scared her so much, as if he was lingering around in her mind, letting her know that he was close. But it had been almost eighty years since she had seen her maker and she would run for the rest of eternity if that were what it took. Today, however, Quinn has more pressing issues. It was the first day at a new high school and she absolutely no idea what to wear.

Some would say that having to relive their senior year over and over would be a major pain, but it was actually something she quite enjoyed. High school kids were so juvenile, easy to manipulate and were always craving the new "it" thing. Being the new kid meant a lot of attention, and being a new kid as attractive as Quinn, well it meant even more attention. Not to mention two blonde, beautiful sisters walking into a school in a dingy town like this, well she had no doubt that the entire student population would be eating out of the palm of her hand.

The town of Lima, Ohio was the perfect place for Quinn to spend the following year. It was a quiet town that not many had heard of and it was a guaranteed location that she would never be found, not simply because of its unimportance, but because of the werewolf population. The history between vampires and werewolves was a messy one, a blood bath of sorts, and coming to live in a town infested with werewolves was a death wish but Quinn was not afraid of any mutts. She knew that their scent in this town would cover hers, and Adrian would never to think to come looking for her in a place like this. She could keep her identity and Brittany's a secret easily, and they could avoid any problems with the wolves. They would never run into one another and if that could be avoided then so could their residency in their town.

Quinn had made sure that Brittany was well fed the night before so that they would have no accidents on the first day of school, and it was a good thing because as they stood in front of the steps that lead into McKinley High School she could see her sister licking her lips at a young, blonde boy that walked past them.

"Brittany, control yourself. It's only the first day and we can't afford to start the body count yet." She wrapped an arm protectively around her when she saw her fellow blonde pouting and squeezed her shoulder. "We'll travel to the city on Wednesday to feed again."

Quinn adjusted the headband in her hair, making sure the bow was in the right position, and then opened the double doors that lead into the main hallway. She only smiled as heads turned in their direction, eyes widening and whispers starting to fill the air. She could hear them perfectly of course. The sound of racing blood in the veins of the teenage boys around her was intoxicating and even at her age and control she could feel her gums throbbing a little bit. Quinn walked through the hall towards the administration office, pausing at the glass door as a scent filled her nostrils. She paused her hand on the handle and turned her head to glance back over her shoulder, a boy watching her from the opposite end of the hall.

The scent was all too familiar to Quinn, she narrowed her eyes and the boy mimicked her. She could see his eyes changing color, not enough for a human to notice, but she could. Tiny flecks of yellow were mixing in with the brown, the animal within him sensing that she was a threat. She took in his appearance, dark skin, a short mohawk, combat boots, muscles, around her age, or at least the age that she had died at. The shock of actually being near one that was so young only lasted a split second and she looked away, ignoring the curious look she was receiving from Brittany. Werewolves as classmates had not been part of her plan and for the first time in a long time, Quinn wasn't prepared for what was to come.

Rather then paying attention to classes for the rest of the day, Quinn spent her time finding the other wolves in the school. So far she had found two, the boy with the mohawk and then another tall boy that spent all his time with mohawk wolf. She had to find a solution to this problem; she couldn't risk werewolves running around, especially when Brittany wouldn't know how to defend herself against them. Vampires had to very careful around werewolves, and vice versa. They were a weakness to each other. A vampire bite to a werewolf was not deadly, but it did cause them excruciating pain. The venom from the bite would spread through their body within seconds and it would cause them to feel as if they were burning alive without actually burning. The effect lasted a little over an hour and it was her one defense against a wolf when they were in their human form, trying to bite them in their animal form was reckless because a werewolf bite to a vampire was far worse. The bite from a werewolf had a much different effect on vampires; it wouldn't kill them but instead force them into insanity. Hallucinations, panic attacks, voices in their head of those who they have killed, and they will no longer have a sense of what is real and what isn't. The side effects of a wolf bite were permanent and it was a fate worse than death.

Quinn couldn't risk that happening to her or her sister, she had to kill the wolves.

"If the wolves are so dangerous then why don't we move somewhere else?" Brittany looked confused as they walked with their lunch trays through the cafeteria.

"You know why, Britt. I've never left a town before prom and I won't start now. We stay, I'll take care of the wolves." Quinn glanced around the cafeteria until she heard someone shout her name and looked back to see the Asian boy from her math class waving at her. She smiled and scanned the other boys at the table, the blonde one who had been staring at Brittany and the tall wolf, perfect. "Come on, we just made new friends."

The girls walked over to the table and set their things down, Quinn sitting down next to the tall boy and she could hear his heart beating faster in his chest. She wasn't sure if that was because of her or what she was, but it seemed to be his normal, teenage boy hormones racing.

"Introduce us to your friends, Mike."

"Right, this is Sam over here and that's Finn. We all play football together. Guys, this is Quinn and Brittany, they just moved here."

"You're all football players? Well aren't we lucky to meet you guys then, right Britt?" Quinn glanced over at her sister who had been focusing on the carrot sticks on her plate.

She looked up quickly and nodded her head. "Totally. Football players are totally hot, I used to be a cheerleader." Brittany looked back at Sam and gave him a flirtatious smile.

"Does that mean you'll be trying out here? The Cheerios are a pretty intense squad but I think you'd be awesome on it." Sam grinned as he looked back at Brittany.

"Brittany doesn't cheer anymore, knee injury. But we'll both be cheering from the stands so you better impress us on that field."

Quinn glanced at Finn and gave him a smile, rolling her eyes mentally at the nervous giggle that came from his mouth. She went to say something else and stopped when the scent from this morning filled the cafeteria, growing stronger with each passing second. She watched as the mohawk boy came towards their table with a lunch tray and dropped it down in the seat across from her.

"Hey, Puck! Just in time to meet our new friends, Quinn and Brittany." Finn grinned as he motioned his head towards her and she glanced back at Puck.

"Fantastic." Puck didn't say anything else as he took the buns off the two burgers on his tray and started pouring ketchup on each one.

"Puck, is it? Odd name." Quinn kept her eyes on him, keeping her exterior calm despite the desire she had to tear his throat out with her teeth. This wolf radiated cockiness and a bad attitude, she hated him already.

"Short for Puckerman, blondie."

"My name is Quinn, not blondie."

"I know your name, blondie. In fact the whole school does, everyone is talking about the new girls. And out of everyone in this school you decided to come sit with us. What makes us so special that you have decided to grace us with your presence?"

"Dude…" Sam opened his mouth to speak but the look he got from Puck shut him up.

"It's fine, Sam. Clearly someone is on their time of the month, makes him a little irritable." Quinn arched her eyebrows, knowing that if he was smart enough he would catch on to the meaning behind her words. The full moon was only just a week away. Puck's nostrils flared and she knew she struck a nerve.

"Nice salad you got there. I figured you as more of a meat type of girl, nice and rare steak or a bleeding cow on your plate."

"Oh, I love meat. In fact, tall football player just so happens to be my favorite." Quinn put her hand on Finn's upper arm, forcing another nervous laugh from him, and gave Puck a smile. "You know what, this table is a little too crowded for my taste. Brittany and me have to go get our other books from the library. We'll catch you boys later."

Quinn nodded at her sister and both of them picked up their trays before walking away and throwing out their untouched food. Even outside of the cafeteria she could hear the guys scolding Puck for scaring away two hot blondes. And just before she was to far away to hear, she heard a muffled "fucking blonde bitch" followed by a faint growl. Quinn smiled to herself as they went about getting their schoolbooks, this was going to be much easier then she had anticipated.
