Santana strutted down the hallway, her tiny cheerios skirt swishing with her small hips. No one flanked her sides but the crowd still parted for her as she walked through them. She had a plan in her mind and a smile on her glossy lips. She kept her dark eyes peeled for Brittany and Quinn who were probably in the choir room. They spent too much time in there.
She let out a sigh when she spotted Rachel Berry at her locker digging around, her idea would probably have to include the midget.
She continued her strut up to Rachel's locker and slammed it shut, scaring the small brunette.
"Santana what in the world are you doing?" Rachel gasped, her hand on her heart as she looked the cheerio up and down.
"I gots a plan and I wants you in on it." Santana said with a sassy grin. She put her hand on her hip and watched as Rachel reopened her locker and pulled out two books.
"What plans?" Rachel sounded weary, and tired.
"I want to have a party at my house for Halloween. A surprise party for Britt. She loves this stuff. I want her to know that even though we aren't really telling people about us I still love her." Santana said with a grin.
"You and Brittany are together?" Rachel had lowered her voice and was looking at Santana skeptically.
"Yes." Santana glared at Rachel, "If this bothers you in anyway then you can turn around and walk away and get slushied every day til you graduate college." Santana hissed.
Rachel just rolled her eyes and adjusted her sparkly black v-neck sweater, "I don't care Santana."
"Oh. Good." Santana calmed down and smiled at Rachel.
"Right." Rachel did not return the smile, she frowned up at Santana instead.
"Frodo, I want your help. For one Q won't go unless you go. You and all the losers in Glee. I already know that. Problem is, I can't really get those losers to trust me. So here's the deal. This is our party. Throwing it together." Santana beamed at Rachel who just nodded.
"You want me to invite the other glee members in the guise that this is indeed our party?" Rachel asked.
"Exactly, but it's still at my house. My mom and dad are going away that weekend and Halloween is prime time for a party. Plus I gots to please Britt." Santana said.
"Fine. I'll do it." Rachel sighed.
Santana smiled, a friendly smile this time, "Thanks Berry."
"Sure." Rachel smiled back and nodded at her, "Just let me invite the glee members, you should probably just nod along."
Santana rolled her eyes but nodded.
A halloween party was now set in motion.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It was 2 days until Halloween and the halls of McKinley were buzzing about the upcoming party being put on by Santana Lopez and the resident loser Rachel Berry.
Students couldn't believe that two polar opposites were joining forces to throw such a party. Curiosity was getting the better of students who were hesitant about going.
Also...halloween was time for costumes and fun. Who knew what could happen?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sugar knew what would happen.
She had a plan that involved a curse. A wicked curse that would make Santana Lopez do something she regretted. Sugar knew a lot about the girl.
She knew Santana was gay, and still in the closet. She knew that Brittany S. Pierce was her girlfriend and a powerful seer. She also knew both girls were best friends with the Slayer. The one way to hurt the Slayer was to do something to Santana that wouldn't hurt her physically but emotionally.
It would take a whole night of brewing potions and chanting words, it also took a dangerous collide with both Brittany and Santana. Santana now knew Sugar as the clumsy little brat. Brittany didn't seem to care.
She also had to use her powers to shield herself from the seeing powers of Brittany. Because if Brittany saw her plan she might just not like it. That was the beautiful thing about a young and powerful seer, if they had a hard time harnessing their powers, then said powers could be easily manipulated. Sugar giggled to herself above her cauldron as she dropped in one blonde lock and one black lock of hair.

Quinn sat in the back of the choir room reading a large, old book. It smelled like dust and paper. She was leafing through the text hoping to find something important that would tell her about the pendant Terri had possession of.
Next to her was Tina. Tina was eager to jump into research and find things out. She had a book even bigger than Quinn's and a pair of large black glasses. She was hunched over it and reading to herself quietly.
Just another study session in the choir room. Rachel was absent. Throwing a party with Santana Lopez required a lot of work apparently. It sort of upset Quinn that Rachel would abandon the little study sessions so fast. She knew that Rachel was just attempting to help Santana set up a romantic surprise for Brittany, but still. Rachel was her friend, not Santana's.
She took a deep breath and attempted to concentrate on the book again. It was old timey text with a lot of words that were swimming in her head. She looked up from the dusty pages again to see that none of the others were distracted.
Even Finn was bent over his book with a magnifying glass and determined frown. His fingers moving under the words with focus.
Brittany was sitting by the piano with a tiny book in her lap, reading it slowly. Her blonde hair was down this time, but still in her cheerios uniform even though it was after school.
Will was standing over the piano, a number of books open in front of him as he wrote down notes and flipped back and forth between the pages. Everyone was busy. Everyone except for Quinn who just wanted to slay something. After all, wasn't that her job? She didn't even get to help stop the witch, who was Tina admittedly. But it seemed like the center of her distractedness was the absence of Rachel.
Quinn was getting overwhelmed with the urge to kiss Rachel, hold Rachel, or just be around Rachel. She missed Rachel when she wasn't around, and it was getting harder to stay in the closet and not tell Rachel what was going on in her head.
"I found something!" Quinn was interrupted by Finn's excited voice and loud clap of his giant hands.
"What?" Tina asked disbelievingly, as if the thought of Finn Hudson being useful was too far fetched to believe.
"I found something," Finn repeated. Will walked over to where Finn was seated and frowned.
"What did you find?" Will inquired, his brow furrowed, pen and paper at the ready.
Finn began to read aloud from the book, "A pendant made of solid gold and shaped into a star by the original master before he was slain. In it he transported all of his power so it would not die with him. Only one vampire would be able to wear it without dying, only one would carry on the legacy of the master and have all power. Upon the master's death his power went inside the pendant and put with him in his coffin."
Quinn gulped as Finn continued reading, "In order to reach full power, the Slayer must die. By the new master's hands."
"So…. Terri is the new master and out to kill me?" Quinn squeaked.
"A lot of people are out to kill you." Brittany spoke up from the piano bench.
"Does it say anything about a harvest?" Will asked.
"No." Finn handed Will the book and looked at his shoes.
"Well then what is the harvest?" Will asked again, he looked at the book in his hands in frustration.
"I can tell you what that is." a voice from the doorway made everyone turn their heads.
James Peterson, a member of the football team stood in the doorway, pale skin shining as he smiled politely at the crowd of students and one teacher.
"What do you know?" Quinn asked standing up and walking over to the front of the room.
"It's not in your books." James smirked as Quinn stopped directly in front of him, her arm slightly behind her.
"Well why don't you tell us what it is then?" Quinn asked, her hazel eyes shining fiercely. "Before I dust you."
Quinn took out her elbow and drove it into James' throat, pushing him back to the wall, lifting him in the air with her arm, she took her other arm and put the stake up against his chest. His eyes widened and he started to wriggle around. His face transforming to the vampire form, baring his teeth.
"LET ME GO SLAYER!" James called out.
"If you don't tell us what you are talking about right now I seriously have no problem making you into dust. We have a vacuum handy." Quinn growled.
Will was holding Finn back from running up and trying to help. Brittany was in front of Tina who had conjured up a ball of energy and was working hard to keep it steady in her hands, and aimed in the direction of Quinn and James.
"I always wondered why you wouldn't date anyone. We all figured it was because you were gay or something. Turns out you're just a fucking bitchy Slayer." James laughed.
"Tell me James." Quinn hissed, she took the stake and stabbed into his chest above his heart.
James let out a low groan and cringed.
"That hurt…" he huffed. Quinn twisted the stake and grinned.
"It won't hurt much longer if you just tell us what's going on." Quinn said in a cold voice.
"The Master! She is starting a war! Against you! She wants to take over the town like in the old days or whatever!" James cried out.
"Right, we got that, but why don't you tell us what else is going on?" Quinn asked in a falsely kind tone.
"All I know is she wants to do it on Thanksgiving." James breathed, "Please let me go!"
"Okay." Quinn said, she took the stake out of his chest, and stabbed him in the heart. The dust settled on the floor around her feet with a grimace.
"We could've gotten more information!" Finn cried out as he lurched forward past Will and gritted his teeth.
"We know she wants to kill me and she plans on doing it on Thanksgiving, and we know we all need to be here. That's where Brittany had her vision. He was just some cronie for Terri, he had no valuable information." Quinn hissed, "We got all we could out of him."
"You were in no place to make that decision!" Finn snapped, WIll came up behind up and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Finn you should calm down, okay? I know that you're upset but Quinn knows what she is doing." Will said in an authoritative voice.
"But…" Finn looked back at Will in frustration, "We can't just let Quinn die…"
"I won't die. Terri will." Quinn said solemnly, "And I'll be the one to kill her."

Santana was perched in front of her mirror, the black walls of her room making her eyes look even darker. She wore red lipstick and a red corset.
"Please do tell me what your costume is this evening?" Rachel chimed from behind her, crossing her arms.
"I'm Satan." Santana said with a smirk.
"We already knew that." Rachel scoffed, "You're just trying to be sexy. That is just lingerie."
Santana picked up a devil horn head band off of her vanity and perched it in her hair. She stood up and was wearing black panties with fishnet tights.
"You're just jealous you can't gets on this." Santana said with a laugh, "I mean come on!"
Rachel rolled her eyes, "I regret to inform you I do not want on any of you."
"Sure Berry." Santana said with another laugh.
Rachel was in a blue and white checker knee length dress, with a white collared short sleeve shirt underneath. Her dark hair was parted into two braids. She held a stuffed dog in one hand. Guess what her costume was.
"If I may ask, what exactly is the plan to be romantic for Brittany? She is aware of the party and the invitation you extended to glee." Rachel asked, she was perched on Santana's bed, eyes wide with curiosity.
"I plan on taking her up here and she'll find a bunch of candy surprises around the room. She gets sad because she doesn't go trick or treating anymore. Well now she has a party and a scavenger hunt of candy." Santana said in a sweet voice. She was smiling dreamily.
"I think that is so sweet Santana." Rachel was grinning at the girl in the devil costume, "Who knew?"
"Shut up Berry, let's go greet the guests." Santana snapped. She got up and slid on a pair of stiletto black heels and walked out of the room. Rachel followed laughingly.
As the two girls emerged from the large staircase they were surprised to see Noah Puckerman already inside the living room. He was wearing his Mckinley high jacket and had fake blood on his face, he smirked up at them and nodded.
"Puckerman did you just let yourself in?" Santana snapped.
"I figured maybe you could use something to do with the Puckster?" Puck sneered, eyes moving up and down Santana's scantily clad body.
"I have to get the party ready I don't have time for this." Santana hissed.
"It's been so long though Santana!" Puck whined, "I don't even know if we're dating anymore."
"Are you serious? You slept with half the school and you think we were dating?" Santana laughed as she continued to come down the stairs, Rachel behind her looking annoyed.
"You're one to talk. Well you used to be. Lately all you do is hang out with Brittany." Puck pouted.
"So?" Santana knitted her brows together and tilted her head, her fingers knotting together as she bit her lip.
"What?" Puck asked registering how nervous she looked.
"Noah, I do believe it is impolite of you to simply walk in before the party has even started." Rachel spoke up, she moved from behind Santana and marched right to Puck.
"Jew baby!" Puck grinned, "I was hoping you'd be a little more sexy tonight."
"Chauvinistic as you are Puck, I enjoy remaining clothed." Rachel scoffed. Puck just sighed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The music was loud and people were dancing closely. Brittany and Mike were on the floor doing a very complicated dance and laughing. Santana was laughing and watching the two, clapping and yelling out compliments.
Tina was in the corner on the couch, clutching a beer and bopping her head to the music. She was dressed in the regular cheerios uniform, but it was dyed black and covered in fake blood. Quinn was next to her. Her costume was simple, she white bunny ears and had drawn whiskers on her face, she wore her regular slaying outfit in case something happened. Her eyes were watching Rachel Berry dance with Finn Hudson who was dressed as Frankenstein.
She quickly regarded the new girl Sugar Motta flirting with Noah Puckerman, dressed in a long black cloak.
But mainly her eyes were all for Rachel. Rachel looked adorable in her costume, dancing enthusiastically with Finn who was sort of bobbing his head and cringing.
Rachel was laughing at him and continued to move to the music. Other couples around them were grinding on each other. Finn had ahold of Rachel's arms to keep other people from touching her in the crowd. Quinn wanted to be where Finn was, she almost got up too. But remembered that she was still deep in the flannel closet.
Tina had disappeared, saying something about stealing Brittany's dance partner. Quinn sighed, alone now on the couch. She let her head fall into the cushions as she listened to the sound of drunken teenagers dancing and laughing. She felt another person sit next to her, she opened her eyes to see the very creepy Jacob Ben Israel grinning at her. He had a small afro and large nose, with beady eyes.
"So, are you interested?" He asked.
"No."
"I am so willing to settle for you, Rachel looks busy with Finn." Jacob said grinning, "Though word on the street is you might not be willing to settle."
Quinn looked over at him in confusion, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Quinn Fabray gets kicked out of her Christian home and ends up quitting cheerleading. Joins the glee club and spends all her time staring at Rachel Berry. I think you know what I'm talking about." Jacob laughed.
"I think I don't" Quinn felt nervous, was her secret out now?
"You want Finn." Jacob said as if it was obvious, "You lost everything and now you are doing anything to hold on to the popularity you need."
"Sure." Quinn sighed relieved, "I have to go, anywhere but here."
She got up and beelined for Rachel and Finn who were still dancing, "Mind if I cut in?" She grinned at Rachel who looked up at Finn.
"I don't!" Finn said as he stepped aside, he seemed happy to not dance anymore.
"Quinn, you want to dance with me?" Rachel asked in surprise, she smiled though and held out her hands.
"I want to do a lot." Quinn mumbled, she stepped up to Rachel and into her arms, hugging the small brunette to herself and savoring the smell of fruit and mint.
Rachel stiffened at first but melted into the hug and whispered, "What do you mean Quinn?"
The two girls were swaying in eachothers arms to the fast paced song, no one seemed to notice, all wrapped up in their own shenanigans to see. Quinn pulled Rachel closer to her, resting her head in Rachel's hair and squeezing tight, enjoying the moment of freedom and indulgence.
"Quinn?" Rachel asked, she heard Quinn's sigh, and felt the blonde pull her closer, she returned the hug and rested her head on Quinn's shoulder, "What's going on?"
Quinn didn't answer, she closed her eyes and smiled. Rachel let out a small sigh but continued to rock with Quinn.

Sugar slipped up to the bathroom she found that had a lock. She barged in to find a couple about to hook up.
"OUT I HAVE TO PUKE!" Sugar cried out dramatically. The couple dressed up as playing cards scrambled out as quickly as possible.
Sugar let out a small laugh and started to dig inside of her large purse pulling out a vial and a few pages with scratchy handwriting scrawled on it. She looked down at it and sighed, the spell she needed to ruin Santana's night.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Santana was dancing and laughing with Brittany, she held her girlfriends hand and twirled her around. It looked normal to other people, like two best friends having fun..
Santana leaned into Brittany and whispered, "I have a surprise for you."
Brittany peered down at her, "What is it?"
Santana nuzzled Brittany's neck and said, "Let me get us some drinks and then I'll tell you." She pulled away from the grinning blonde and went off to find them two beers.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sugar looked at the words and started to speak them, translated to English so that she could understand it.
"With this vial I make your life vile, you shall tell the darkest secret, your worst fear coming true tonight. I say, tonight, with the consumption of this vial, I make your life vile." Sugar whispered gripping the vial of potion. She ran out of the bathroom and down the stairs.
Out of sheer luck she spotted Santana asking Noah about drinks, she went over and intercepted them, "I can show you where they are Santana, someone moved them to the kitchen."
Santana looked at her with a scowl, "You're the klutz that bumped into me, ruined my hair."
"I'll make it up to you, let me get you those drinks, just one?" Sugar smiled sweetly, Santana was still scowling at her.
"Two. It's the least you could do." Santana sighed. Sugar grinned at the latina and bounded off into the kitchen where a keg was located. She picked up to red solo cups and put the vial in first, a drop in each, she then filled both cups with the frothy beer.
Sugar walked out into the living room area and handed it to Santana who thanked her rudely and walked away, she looked up at Noah who seemed to look disappointed.
"What's wrong?" Sugar asked, noticing how cute he looked with his mohawk and clinging costume.
"San isn't interested in the Puckster." Noah sighed, "I guess she met someone else."
"You could say that." Sugar muttered under her breath.
"What was that?" Noah asked.
"I just said that I really could use some company," Sugar batted her eyelashes. Noah leered at her, and stepped closer.
"I can be what you use, all night long." Noah whispered, Sugar grinned back and started to flirt with the boy, any minute now Santana would tell her secret, along with Brittany.
