Rachel began shaking and yelling for Quinn. "Quinn!" Quinn!"
"Shh." I'm right here." Quinn whispered as she took Rachel's hand.
Rachel squeezed her hand. "I really hate the dark." Rachel began crying.
"I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere." Quinn kissed Rachel's forehead. "I'm going to get the flashlight." Quinn led Rachel to the couch and sat her down. "I will be right back. I promise."
Rachel began sobbing, "Hurry." Quinn kissed Rachel deeply before disappearing into the kitchen.
She returned and set the flashlight down. "Where's your matches?" she asked.
Rachel took a deep breath and pointed to the desk. Quinn got up and began searching for some. She found one and began lighting candles around the house.
"Come here." Quinn said as she pulled Rachel into her arms. Rachel wrapped her arms around her and cuddled into her chest. "Why are you so scared of the dark?" Quinn asked she stroked Rachel's hair.
"I remember when I was three and there was a huge storm, the lights went out." Rachel sniffled and began again. "I got out of bed and went to my uncle's room; he was watching me while my dads were out of town. Rachel choked back a sob. Quinn pulled her into her lap; Rachel laid her head of Quinn's shoulder.
Rachel took a deep breath before beginning again, "I called his name and he didn't say anything." There was a huge flash of lighting and I saw him just lying there on the floor."
Quinn gasped, "Rach", she began.
"He was dead." Heart attack." He was just lying there all alone in the dark." Rachel cried harder.
Quinn pulled her close and kissed her forehead. "I'm so sorry sweetie."
"I have hated the dark ever since. I don't ever want to be alone in it."
"With me here you will never have to be." Quinn whispered.
Rachel smiled and kissed her chastely. "You're amazing."
"You're everything."
Rachel began shivering. "It's so cold."
Quinn grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch and wrapped it around them, she began humming softly. Rachel smiled and kissed Quinn's cheek.
"This is nice." Rachel said as she turned towards Quinn.
Quinn nodded and began stroking Rachel's cheek. "You're so beautiful." God I'm so lucky."
Tears welled up in Rachel's eyes. "I'm the lucky one; you're the greatest person in the world Quinn."
Quinn smiled and leaned in kissing Rachel deeply. "Dance with me?" she asked
Rachel nodded and crawled off Quinn; she reached down taking her hand and helped her up. She wrapped her arms around Quinn's neck and began swaying.
Quinn wrapped her arms around Rachel's waist and also began to sway. Neither girl broke eye contact, as they continued dancing.
"Quinn I." Rachel began. Quinn waited with bated breath for her to continue, she frowned when she didn't. She knew what she had wanted to say; because she too felt it she just didn't know how to voice it.
Quinn began to sing "I'm with you, in Rachel's ear. Rachel smiled and leaned in kissing Quinn deeply.
Quinn began nibbling on Rachel's' bottom lip asking for entrance, Rachel opened her mouth allowing Quinn's tongue to enter. Their tongues danced together in perfect harmony. "Mmm this is heaven." Rachel whispered. Quinn couldn't agree more.
