so sorry for not updating sooner! I had a few job interviews going on and I picked up a class cause I might as well do something if I not going to college as a full time student right? Eh. Also, I realized I'm still in this rut but whatever. I won't let it stop me from writing for y'all. Anyways, enjoy!
These Streets
"Dani please, we really need to pee!" Santana complained. Dani looked at Santana through the rearview mirror and saw Quinn nod her head in agreement. She turned to look at Brittany to see the other blonde with a small apologetic smile as she also nodded. The blue haired girl sighed and finally nodded. "Okay, fine! We'll stop at the next market or place we see." She said. Santana grinned and leaned over the front seat and pecked her girlfriend.
Dani looked to her mirror to see Quinn's car right behind them as they went on the road. After the incident at the last market in Delaware, Dani didn't want to stop the car until they reached Kansas. They were now in South Carolina but and they started more cars either flipped, or just abandoned. Dani was still feeling weary after having to shoot someone and she didn't want to stop only to end up shooting someone else. The radios had long stopped working so the group hadn't heard any more recent news on what was going on. As of now, they knew that those infected became very hostile and they knew they'd have to avoid them. Luckily since the market, they haven't run across any more of the infected.
"Babe, stop! There's a restaurant over there!" Dani heard Santana exclaim. She sighed as she pulled over and parked at a distance from the small diner. "Why'd you park here?" Santana asked, quickly jumping out of the car. Dani sighed and stepped out, grabbing her gun and looking at the Latina with a tired expression. "Because if there are any infected around there, I don't want us to get surrounded. At least like this, we'll be able to make a run to the car if we have to." Dani explained, letting out a yawn.
Santana sighed as she leaned on her car. "I guess you're right." She said, looking back to see Brittany and Quinn walk over to them while Kurt and Rachel parked behind them. Dani nodded and waited for the others to gather around as she stepped up. "Why'd we stop? Not that I'm complaining really." Rachel asked. Santana rolled her eyes as she looked at Dani. "We need a break and most of us have to use a restroom." Quinn said, glaring at Santana. The Latina only shrugged at her best friend as she tried to rush them over to the diner.
"Wait, what if there are more of those infected people?" Kurt asked. Quinn and Santana looked at Dani and saw the girl tense up at the mention of them. The two girls shared a look before Santana reached over to take one of Dani's hands to give it a small squeeze. Dani softly smiled at her girlfriend and slowly breathed out. "I'll deal with them, or we can just make a run for it back to the cars." Dani answered.
This seemed to put the group in ease as they nodded their agreement. They quietly made their way, Dani in the lead with Santana right behind her, as they checked for any cars or people nearby. The sun was beginning to rise but everything around the diner seemed dead. Dani took a deep breath when they reached the front door. Dani looked back when she felt Santana place a hand on her shoulder. Dani nodded and slowly opened the door. She put a hand up, telling the others to stay put while she stepped inside the diner. "Hello? Anybody here?" She called out. When she received no answer and heard nothing, she stepped more in and walked over to the counter. She looked over it and saw a few broken dishes here and there but no blood or bodies. She looked back to see Rachel and Santana in the diner already while the others waited outside.
"Wait there." Dani instructed to the two other girls. When the other girls didn't say anything, Dani jumped over the counter, wincing when she stepped on some glass and looked back. She took a deep breath before pushing the door to the kitchen open and went in. She stopped in the middle of the kitchen to see two bodies, torn open, on one end. She closed her eyes and breathed a couple of times before opening her eyes again and staring at the bodies. She carefully approached them and looked down, seeing that one body had their face missing along with a few limbs while the other one was torn open from its abdomen and its content out.
Dani gagged and quickly turned around, walking back into the other room to see Brittany, Kurt, and Quinn inside by now. "Let's hurry and get the hell out of here." Dani said, pushing some of her hair back." The others nodded and quickly went into the restrooms, Kurt going in the women's restroom as well because he wasn't about to go in the men's restroom on his own. They all quickly did what they had to do and rushed out of the diner, not liking the quietness of everything. Dani quickly rushed them as they ran to their cars and quickly jumped in. They wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.
"Okay so now what babe?" Santana asked. Dani sighed as she started the car. "We keep going." She said. Just as Dani was about to get back in the road, she looked up and saw a whole bunch of cars coming their way. Quinn quickly pulled out her walkie talkie and turned it on. "Rachel, turn the car off and lock the door and stay quiet." Was all the blonde said as she then pulled Brittany closer to her and both crouched as much as they could. Santana reached over to Dani and took the keys off of the ignition and locked their doors. Dani reached for the Latina's hand as they slowly leaned down as well. Dani went as low enough to still see outside and watched as the cars sped past them.
"Dani, what's going on?" Santana asked. Dani only shook her head as she watched the cars go past them,not even glancing their way or stopping to see. "I don't know... A whole bunch of cars..." She said. Once the cars finished passing Dani sat up again. "Okay, I don't know what that was about but let's get out of here. It's not smart to stay here for too long." Dani said, taking they keys from Santana and starting the car. The two cars went back to the road and continued on their way, a bit more nervous after seeing a whole bunch of cars driving away from where they were driving. Eventually, after a few more miles of driving, the group came into another stop because of they obstacle blocking their way. In the middle of the highway, there were many abandoned cars, people running through the cars, and trying to get to the cars that were coming through. "Shit!" Dani exclaimed as she hit the four girls stared in disbelief for a while until they heard Rachel honk at them. The small brunette stopped next to them and honked again, getting their attention. Dani rolled down her window while Kurt rolled down his. "We need to get out of here now!" Rachel yelled. Dani nodded her agreement and looked for an opening through or around, not wanting to turn back around to look for another way.
"Let's drive around the highway and speed past them!" Dani yelled back. Rachel nodded and went ahead of Dani, stepping on the gas and driving past the blockage, doing her best to ignore the people yet going fast enough for no one to stop them. Dani was right behind her but didn't see a group of older looking men jump in front of their car. Brittany and Quinn both shrieked and pulled each other close, thinking Dani was going to run them over while Santana reached for one of Dani's hands and covered her eyes with the other. "Dani!" Santana exclaimed. The blue haired girl reacted quickly and slammed on the breaks. "Fuck!" Dani yelled. She eyed the men as they carefully walked around, surrounding the car. Santana locked her door immediately and looked back to the two blondes. Brittany was clutching Quinn's shirt while the other blonde slowly reached for the walkie talkie. She turned it on and Rachel's voice came through the channel. "Where are you guys?! I can't stop the car Quinn! It's getting so much worse here!" Rachel yelled, Kurt's voice yelling in the background. Quinn took a deep breath as she glanced back and saw a man stand behind the car. "Just keep going Rach... Some men jumped right in front of our car. Keep going though, we'll catch up." The blonde said in a shaky voice. Rachel's voice started cutting off but Quinn was still able to make up what the girl was saying. "Rachel, I promise we'll find you guys! Just keep going. You know where the rest of the glee club will be meeting. Keep going." She said in a strong voice before turning the radio off and looking around again, locking her door.
Dani was slowly reaching for her gun, which was in the small compartment on her door, while staring at the men cautiously. Santana jumped when one of the men tapped on her side of the window and reached for Dani's hand again when he winked at her. This angered Dani as she gave her girlfriend's hand a squeeze. Brittany's door was suddenly opened and the tall blonde cried out when she was pulled out. Quinn tried to pull Brittany back in but was pulled out too. Santana tried to jump back and help her two best friends but was stopped by Dani. "Keep all the doors locked and stay inside. Jump to the driver's seat." Dani said with a voice that left no argument. Santana was about to yell at her but stopped herself when she saw Dani slip her gun behind her and only nodded instead. Dani quickly jumped out of the car and closed hers and Brittany's door before the other men could get to Santana.
"Well well well... Lookie what we have here boys! We got us some fine ladies here don't cha think?" One of the men spoke up. The three men who were holding the two blondes nodded and laughed their agreements while the other three gathered by Santana's door and whistled and gave cat calls. Dani growled when she looked back to see the men trying to get to her girlfriend but turned back to where the other two girls were. Right now, Santana was much safer right now while her best friends weren't. Brittany was crying softly when the man holding her pulled her closer to him and made kissing noises. Quinn was struggling against the other two as she fought to get to Brittany. The leader of the group walked over to Dani as he leered at her. "We don't want any trouble sir. I know shit is getting crazy all over the place with these infected people but come on, you don't have to do anything stupid." Dani tried to reason. The man chuckled and circled her, grabbing a lock of her hair and sniffed at it. Dani inwardly shuddered but kept her ground. She couldn't show this man she was afraid. Her girlfriend and her friends needed her. "I don't think crazy is the right word little missy. Them people aren't just infected. They sick girl. Saw a group tear a grown man apart, limb from limb and ate him like he was a chicken or something!" The man said, stopping in front of Dani.
Dani took a step back when the man tried to touch her face and she glared at him. "I suggest you let us go before you regret-" she turned around when she heard window breaking followed by Santana's shouting. "Get your fucking hands off of me! Pinches culeros!" She yelled, kicking and fighting them away. Dani saw red. Without thinking or hesitating, Dani pulled out her gun, and with a strength she didn't know she had, she turned the man around, holding one of his arms behind in a tight hold and put the gun on his chest. "Let. Her. Go." She said through gritted teeth. The men holding Brittany and Quinn let the blondes go and pulled their own guns out and aimed them towards Dani. The leader chuckled but winced when Dani pulled his arm farther back. "You stupid bitch! You think you can take all of us? Drop the gun now or your pretty little Latina here is gonna get it." The man said.
Once the three of the men pinned Santana to the car, one of them stepped in front of her and pulled his gun out. "Ey Mike, lemme have some fun with her first. I always wanted to try a Latina." He said. Santana glared at the man as her eyes began to get watery. Then man slowly walked over to Santana but stopped when a shot went off. Everyone turned around to see who shot and all eyes went wide in shock to see Dani aiming the gun towards the man. Santana looked back to the man in front of her and finally saw the red coming from his chest. "Oh shit..." She mumbled. Quinn took this chance to pull Brittany to her as she wrapped her arms around the taller blonde, as if trying to cover her from everything. Santana looked back to see Dani looking at her with worried eyes.
The blue haired girl stared at her girlfriend, when the next thing she knew, she was on the floor with her right cheek stinging. "Dani!" She heard Santana cry out. Dani looked up only to see a boot kick her head. "You fucking bitch!" The leader, Mike, growled as he kicked her. Dani grunted in pain as she tried to crawl up. She winced when she felt a hand grab her by her hair and pull her up. "That's it Joe! Hold her up like that. I'll teach this shit a lesson!" Mike said, walking over to them. Dani tried to fight off the guy holding her but couldn't. She was then met with a backhanded slap, making her look towards Santana, who was looking at her with scared and tearful eyes. Dani grunted as she forced herself to look back up. The man smirked at her as he lifted his arm to swing at her again, but Dani reacted faster and kicked the man back. She then threw her head back against the other man who was holding her, hitting him right on the jaw, and broke into a run towards the men holding Santana. She was tackled by their leader as he straddled her on the floor. "Damn you're a feisty one." He said with a laugh. "Shame you're a disrespectful bitch." He said, pulling out his own gun.
This caused Santana to start fighting against the men's hold. "Dani!" The Latina cried again as she did her best to free herself from them. Brittany and Quinn were trying to get to the blue haired girl as well but were being held back by the other men. "After I shoot your ass, we're gonna have some fun with them Blondies, but ima enjoy that little Latina of yours." He mocked. Dani gritted her teeth in pain as she felt his knee dig into her stomach. She glared at the man when he rose his gun and held it right on her head. He grinned at her as he cocked his gun and chuckled.
"Well this doesn't seem like a fair fight if you ask me." A male's voice said, stopping Mike from pulling the trigger. He looked up to see a man with a stetson on his head with matching boots and a rather large gun on his hand. The man looked around and grunted. "Didn't your mothers ever tell you to treat women with respect?" The man said, walking slowly to Mike. Mike grunted and pulled his gun away from Dani to look at the man better. "Who the fuck are you?" He demanded. The stranger tisked and shook his head with a small chuckle. "Not only are you dumbass, but a rude disrespectful ass too." He said before lifting his gun and shooting mike on his arm, causing him to fall off Dani and writhe in pain. Before the other men could react, the other man was faster as he quickly and easily shot the others right in their heads. He looked over to the blondes and tipped his hat at them. He turned back around and saw the Latina run over to the blue haired girl. He sighed and walked over to where Mike was still writhing as he clutched his arm in pain. "The name is Tallahassee, by the way." He said before he shot the Mike in the head.
He then turned around and kneeled down in front of the two girls. "Ima need you to take a step back for a minute." Tallahassee said to the Latina. Santana hesitated but did as he said while he leaned over her girlfriend. He leaned over the girl and put his ear over her mouth. "Well she's breathing. That's a good thing. We need to get her out of here though. You ladies have a ride?" He asked. Santana only looked at Dani worriedly and he sighed. He looked up at the two blondes who were now standing behind Santana. "Oi, blondies, you have a car?" He asked again. Quinn nodded and pointed to their car. Tallahassee frowned when he saw the broken windows. He figured the group of men broke them to pull the girls out. He shook his head and with a sigh, carefully lifted Dani. "I'll let you ladies tag along with me. Where y'all headed?" He asked, leading them to his large Cadillac. Quinn stopped and quickly went to their car and pulled out the walkie talkie. She then jogged over to where her best friends were at.
Brittany held onto Quinn's arm while said blonde looked at Santana. "He seems nice. Let's just get out of here San. Dani needs you." The blonde said. Santana nodded and quickly got into the car, laying Dani's head on her lap while Brittany pulled the girl's legs over her lap. Quinn hesitated before taking the seat next to the man but got in. She watched as he looked around at the bodies before stepping inside his car. "Thanks for helping us. I'm Santana." Santana said while she petted Dani's face. The man looked at her and noodded. "No problem. I might not be a gentleman or anything but one thing my momma taught me for sure, was to always respect a woman. The name's Tallahassee. Now, where y'all headed. I'm not going anywhere specific, so I don't really care how far your girls are going." He said. Santana smiled softly at him before looking down at Dani. Quinn buckled her seat belt once Tallahassee started the car. "I'm Quinn. That's Brittany over there and the unconscious one is Dani, Santana's girlfriend." Quinn said. Tallahassee nodded and drove on the side of the highway. "So again, where y'all headed?" He asked in a bored tone. Quinn looked back over to her friends before looking back on the road. "We're headed to Kansas sir. We were going to meet up with some of our friends there. It was where we agreed we'd meet up since we're all across the country." Quinn explained. Tallahassee nodded and got back into the road once they were out of the blockage. "Kansas it is then." He said with a chuckle.
