Warning, there's some drug use. Not that much. But ya know.
The next morning I woke still on top of Santana.
She was still asleep and I watched her for a few seconds. She looked so innocent. She was innocent. I had to remind myself a couple of times that she was the 'Wizard of Lima Heights'. She didn't seem like someone who would have such a title and reputation. She really is a mystery. And I was determined to figure out the puzzle that is Santana Lopez.
I got up and cooked breakfast while waiting for Santana to wake up. She walked in after a while grumbling under her breath. I just watched her with a cup of coffee in my hands as she blindly took a glass from the cabinet and poured herself a glass of chocolate milk. She leaned on the counter and mirrored my position across from me.
She yawned and I couldn't help but laugh. "I take it you're not a morning person."
She just shrugged and yawned in response.
"I see. Well would you be up to a little bit of breakfast? I cooked."
She brightened up and nodded. I nodded to the plates of food on the kitchen island and she immediately sat down and dug in. As she ate I could see her waking up. I was about to say something when a whine rang out from deep inside the house. My eyes widened and I looked to see Santana biting her lip and silently freaking out.
"I-Rach are you allergic to cats or dogs?"
I shook my head no
"Do you mind them?"
Once again I shook my head no. I was about to ask Santana what the sound was when she bolted from the kitchen. I looked after her retreating form in confusion. I shrugged and silently started eating my food when the sdoor swung open then closed again and swung. I was expecting to see Santana but she wasn't there. I was about to ask if anyone was there when a cat jumped on the counter and sat down. Just staring at me. I took a sip of my coffee and stared back. If this feline thought I was going to be intimidated by his staring he was sorely mistaken.
I kept my gaze on him when the door opened again. Santana must have walked in because I felt someone touch my shoulder. Without looking away from the cat I asked Santana "I guess this is why you asked."
"It is. The cat is Mufasa. The dog is Katrina."
Dog? I looked away from the cat and looked at the ground to see a little poodle staring back at me with her tongue out.
"Oh...she's cute. This thing won't stop staring though." I said finally looking at the cat again.
Santana moved next to me. "Yeah, he does that. Most people who meet him think he's evil but he's really not. Just...misunderstood."
"I see. So is the staring normal?"
"He does that to determine if he likes you or not."
Hm. I hummed and watched the cat again. This time the cat got up and moved to me before rubbing against my arm that was perched on the counter.
"He likes you!" Santana exclaimed next to me with a giant grin that took up most of her face
"Uh. Yay?"
"This is good! If he doesn't like someone he doesn't let them come near me!"
I raised an eyebrow and pet the cat gently "Like who?"
"Quinn."
I laughed and pulled the cat into my arms. "What? does he like attack her or something?"
"He tried once. Quinn fought back. She lost."
"Oh." I pulled the cat up and looked in his face "Good job."
Santana laughed. "You and Quinn have a weird friendship."
I nodded "We really do."
"So we should get dressed, we have people to see today."
I turned to her with a raised eyebrow "Like who?"
"The police to see if they've come up with anything else and to scare them a little more, and maybe a few other people. It depends on what the cops say really."
"Joy."
"Right?"
"Okay then, let's get this day started."
Fifteen minuted later we were dressed and driving to the police station.
"San, why are the officer scared of you?"
"Hm? They're not scared of me."
"Oh yes they are."
"I don't see it."
"Fine. Let's say they were afraid of you. Why would they be?"
"Well. All official people know who I am. As is 'Wizard' me. civilians or whatever have no idea. They might be afraid of my reputation."
"What exactly is this reputation? I only knew you as a person with connection everywhere."
"Well 'The Wizard' is known as the person who can make anybody's life a living hell. I can really ruin anyone."
"Wow. Scary."
"I guess so."
We pulled up to the police station a few minutes later to see the commissioner and a few officers fighting in front with a group of teenagers that looked like they were dressed up for Halloween.
Santana sighed and looked at me quickly before getting out of the car and stomping over. I quickly got out and followed her to see the bickering was just getting louder until Santana stepped in the middle and held her hands up. Instantly they all shut up.
She sighed before looking at the police commissioner "What happened."
The officer just glared at the group of kids before answering "These kids are suspects in the Berry kidnapping investigation and they refuse to come in for questioning!"
This got the group of kids to start yelling again. Santana held her hand up before talking to the commissioner again. "I'll take care of this. All of you." She said pointing to all the officers again. "Need to go inside the station. Goodbye now."
The commissioner looked like he was about to say something but Santana raised her eyebrow and they shut up before walking inside. She turned to the group of kids and glared. One of the guys walked in front and gulped in front of Santana.
"You all get into your cars and go to my house." Santana said before turning around and looking at me. She looked over her shoulder at them "Now."
They all took off running to their cars and took off.
I watched them driving off before looking at Santana. "Who are they?"
"They are the 'lightening clan'" She said using hand quotations.
"Uh...what?"
"They are a group of punks who...well...they think they're vampires."
"Okay. Explain."
We started walking back to Santana's car, hand in hand when she started talking again "Well, the guy who stood in front of me is named Mike. His girlfriend is named Tina and she was a massive Vampire buff so they started drinking blood and doing drugs and they think they're vampires."
I got in the car with a disgusted look on my face.
"Rach? You okay?"
I looked at her as she started driving. "They...drink blood..."
"Yeah...They're not the best gang of people to be around."
"And you just invited them to our house?!" I yelled
Santana grinned before glancing at me "Our house. Yeah, but we also have a ton of guards there at all times."
I felt myself deflate. "Well yeah I guess so."
"Exactly. Nothing to worry about. I'll be there the entire time anyway." She pulled up in front of her house before turning to look at me. "They act weird. Like really weird. Tell me if you get uncomfortable, yeah?"
I nodded. "Yeah."
"Awesome." She got out of the can before jogging to my side and letting me out.
We walked inside to see the group of kids sitting around the living room smoking something and passing it around.
I heard Santana growl. "I thought I said never do that around me."
The guy holding the thing they were all smoking just smiled lazily before putting the thing in his mouth and swallowing it making the others laugh except for Santana and I. I made a disgusted look before grabbing Santana's hand. She sighed before looking at them.
"Mike, Tina. Kitchen. I need to talk to you." Santana said looking at them.
Two of the kids nodded and walked lazily into the kitchen with Santana following while I watched the teenagers laugh about something. Apparently I was to obvious because one of the boys looked at me and a lecherous grin spread across his face. I should have followed Santana. I stepped back but was stopped when I walked into someone. I felt someone put their hand down on my shoulder. I turned my head and saw one of the girls smiling. I shivered a little at the look in her eye before silently pushing her hand off my shoulder.
"Please don't touch me"
"Ooooooh look at this! A girl who's a little to good for us!" A guy said moving in front of me
I frowned "I don't think i'm to good for you. I just don't want one of you touching me"
"Awwh, why not? Aren't we friendly enough?" The girl behind me said before wrapping her arms around my waist and pulling me into her.
"Let go of me right now!" I said trying to push myself away from her arms.
"Awwh come on we just want a little bit of fun!" The guy said moving closer to me
I opened my mouth to scream when Santana's voice rang out "What the hell is going on here! Let her go! NOW."
Santana walked over to us and ripped me out of their arms, pushing me behind her before growling at them. "I swear to god if any of you even THINK of even looking at her the wrong way I swear to GOD you will be visited by butch a few minutes after. comprende?"
The group all shrunk back as I watched from behind Santana. She turned to the two people who walked with her into the kitchen. "Tell her. Now."
The guy stepped up and looked at me. "We didn't hurt your father's or your mother. Your father's just dealt to us alot. We haven't seen any sight of them for about two months though."
I frowned before moving closer to Santana and whispering in her ear. "Can they leave now?"
Santana nodded before growling at them again. "Get out of here. And remember. This girl." Santana said pointing at me "Is off limits. She's MINE."
They all nodded before running out of the house at top speed.
Santana turned around and pulled me into her arms. I held her tight and put my head on her chest again. "I'm sorry Rachel, I thought you were right behind me. I'm so sorry you were left alone with them." I heard her sniff so I looked up. She had tears in her eyes making me frown. I laid my head down on her chest again and held her tighter.
"Don't cry. There's no reason for it."
"I'm supposed to keep you safe though." I moved and rested my head on her shoulder
"And you did. They didn't do anything beside scare me a little."
"Still."
I nodded "I understand but don't beat yourself up over it. Now I have a question."
"Yes?"
I pulled back with my arms around Santana's waist. "What did they mean when they said my father's dealt to them?"
She sighed and looked sad before answering me. "Rach...Your father's were selling drugs to them."
Yay! More plot twists, protective Santana, an evil cat and some vampire wannabe weirdos! They'll come back, don't worry.
