A/N: Day 6. Holiday season. I decided to do Halloween so here you go. Enjoy.
Quinn's P.O.V.
I'll never understand this country's obsession with Halloween. It's a just another day but I guess indulging in candy and dressing up is part of the fun. I like Halloween but it's not my favorite day of the year and this year I have to help Puck with his Halloween party. It's at his grandmothers ranch so we're setting up things on the yard to scare people later tonight. There's this old barn in the back of his grandmother's house that he wants to make into something of a haunted house but it's not really working out.
"Q, What would I have to pay you to keep you in this barn and scare the shit out of people who come near it?" Puck asks as he pours fake blood on the ground.
"You definitely don't have enough." I tell him.
"How about an I owe you?" He asks and I shake my head.
"Fine. I'm going to go head to the store to get some more decorations. We need more lights and I have to get another fog machine. Coming with?" He asks and I shake my head.
"I'll finish setting up what we have here." He nods his head and walks past me out of the barn and to his car. As he pulls off I get to work laying down skeleton pieces and fake guts...though they look incredibly convincing.
"That shit is creepy as hell." I jump in surprise and turn around to see a a girl standing at the doors or the barn.
"You scared the shit out of me." I say and she chuckles.
"I can tell. You shouldn't be so jumpy." She says with a smirk on her lips as she leans against the door frame.
"Are you Pucks friend?" I ask as I walk towards her. She shakes her head.
"Neighbor. I was just walking and noticed you. I guess you guys are really into Halloween huh?" She says and I shrug my shoulders.
"I'm not but I do like a good party." I tell her.
"You're throwing a party?" She asks.
"My friend is. I'm just helping out and attending." I say and she nods her head.
"It's just you and him setting up?" She asks.
"No, our other friends are coming. It's just a long drive here from where we stay." She nods her head.
"You should come to the party." I tell her and she glances at me then looks to the other side of the barn.
"Thanks for the invite but I'll pass."
"Why? It's free food, free drinks." I say and she shrugs.
"If I come, will you keep me company for the night?" I chuckle lightly and nod my head.
"Sure." I'm sure she's flirting with me but I don't mind. She is pretty cute.
"Good, I'll meet you back here around...10?" I nod my head and turn back to the box of decorations.
"Since you're here, want to help me set this up?" I ask.
"As fun as that sounds, I don't do labor but I will watch you climb that ladder if you need to get on the top level." I look up at the smirk on her face and she continues.
"For support, make sure you don't fall and hurt yourself."
"You just want to look at my ass." I say and she shrugs.
"I was going to do that anyway. What's your name?" She asks me.
"Quinn, what's yours?"
"Santana. So you have a boyfriend or anything?" She asks and I shake my head.
"I'm very single. How about you?" I ask.
"I've been single so long I wouldn't remember how to be in a relationship." I nod.
"I know the feeling." I've had my string of relationships but none of them have been worth anything. At least I still have time since I'm only twenty-two. As we continue talking, I really notice Santana's features. High cheek bones, small stature, nice...um...she's well endowed in the chest region. She's honestly gorgeous, how could she be single? Santana is pretty funny, I think we have the same sens of humor. She's easy to be around too and though she said she doesn't do work, she did help me out. The only thing I didn't like is that she had to leave. It was right before Puck got back and everyone else showed up to help.
"Good job Q." Puck says as he looks over the barn. I roll my eyes and start to walk back to the house.
"Yeah yeah, the neighbor helped though." I say as Puck catches up with me.
"Cool. Let's finish up inside." He says as he puts his arm around my shoulder.
The party is a huge hit. There's people having fun in the house and people in the backyard and by the barn enjoying the scenery and effects to scare the shit out of them. I went back there once and jumped out at a group of people which made them all run away. It was hilarious. Now it's around ten and I'm going to meet Santana by the barn. It's completely empty now because everyone is inside having a good time. I walk to the barn doors and before I step inside, I hear a voice.
"You're late." She says and I turn around.
"I'm not. It's like 9:59." I tell her but she shakes her head.
"It's five past ten." She tells me and I check my phone for the time. She's right.
"Oh, well it's just five minutes." I say and she nods then shrugs.
"Nice costume." She says, comment on my sexy police officers costume.
"Plan on using those handcuffs tonight?" She says referring to the handcuffs hanging off my waist and and I chuckle.
"No not really."
"Maybe I'll change your mind by the end of the night." She says with a smirk then walks past me and into the barn.
"You don't want to go inside?" I ask. She shakes her head and sits on a barrel of hay.
"I don't like being surrounded by people. Let's just sit out here for a little." She pats the empty space next to her and I shrug and sit down.
"Enjoying your night?" She asks me.
"Yeah, this party has been really fun. You want me to get you a drink or something?"
"No, I don't drink."
"Water?" I offer but she shakes her head. Falling into conversation with Santana is really easy. Something about her just makes her easy to talk to. I hadn't noticed we'd been out here an hour until I got a text message. Puck wants me to come inside but...not yet. Santana and I begin a game of twenty-one questions and we haven't stopped. The last turn was mine and I asked when her first kiss was.
"I was nine. My friend Carl, I always hated his name but he and I were always together when we were younger. We lived a few houses from each other and every day after school we'd race home so we could do our homework then go outside. We'd always go to this little pond not too far from here and skip rocks since there wasn't much to do for fun. Anyway, we were skipping rocks one day and he just kissed me." She says.
"He just kissed you? Out of nowhere?" I ask and she nods.
"I punched him in the stomach and ran home. It didn't feel right and I didn't like it."
"Was it because you were young or because it wasn't a girl?"
"Probably because he was a guy. I've always had a liking for women and it's always gotten me in trouble."
"How so?" I ask.
"Well there was this guy. Big fella with more brawn than brain and he had a temper to go along with it so he was feared by most people, but not me. He was dating this beautiful girl named Joanna but everyone called her Pinky because it's the only color she wore. I was a tutor back then for anyone who'd pay me. Pinky had trouble with math and came to me. After tutoring her a few times, she kissed me and every time she came to be tutored...well she came in more than one way. Her boyfriend eventually found out and one day while I was walking home -"
"Quinn!" I hear from my right. I turn my head and see Sam standing there.
"What?" I say.
"Puck says come on already." I roll my eyes and stand. Sam walks out the doors and I turn to Santana before leaving.
"I'll be right back, unless you want to come?" I ask and she shakes her head as she stands.
"It was nice meeting you Quinn." She says then kisses my cheek. Her lips were cold and slightly clammy but oddly soft. The kiss was brief and light but I missed the contact once it was gone.
"See ya later." She says then walks out of the barn. I follow but when she turns the corner, I keep walking and run a little to catch up with Sam.
"Who were you talking to?" He asks me.
"Santana, duh. I know you saw her when you came in." I say and Sam doesn't respond. We enter the house and walk into the dinning room where everyone is gathered. Puck is standing on top of table with a drink in his hand.
"Alright, everybody shut up!" He says and the murmured voices slowly come to a stop.
"Now, I'm going to tell you guys a story. A true story." He says then climbs off the table, Sam cuts the lights from behind Puck and a picture is projected onto the wall in front of everyone. It's just a picture of the neighborhood from a long time ago, from what I can tell.
"Fifty years ago in this neighborhood on this day, my grandmother's best friend was murdered in the field right next to this house, well her body was found there anyway." Puck says and then the picture changes to a girl smiling, who looks just like...oh my god...
"Santana Lopez was murdered in 1964 for being a lady lover by this douche." Puck says then the picture changes to a young guy, tall with a very muscular build.
"James Caldwell. This guy probably invented fucking steroids." The crowd laughs a little and Puck continues.
"His girlfriend was Joanna Richards but also known as Pinky. She and Santana started lady loving and James, being the big roid raging jackass that he was, got pissed about it. Who gets pissed about their girl being with another chick? But anyway, on Halloween night 1964, Santana was walking home minding her own business, when bam!" Puck says loudly and some of the crowd jumps then laughs at themselves.
"She's hit by a car. A car driven by James Jackass himself but Santana survived the impact. She was dazed but she fought James once he walked up to her but she couldn't fight a bat. James beat her mercilessly until her life was taken and her limp body laid on the concrete. Then he picked her up and tossed her into that field where she was found the next day." A few people say 'Aw' and others shake or bow their heads.
"It's fucked up I know." Puck says.
"So now, every Halloween Santana comes back for revenge. She kills men brutally, no one being able to determine the cause of death after their remains have been found and she seduces women and they're never seen again. So some of you fuckers are going to die tonight." Puck says in an eery voice.
"But until then drink up bitches!" Puck says as he raises his cup and the room erupts in noise as everyone cheers and begins to drink again.
Holy fucking shit...
A/N: So some shit happened and i won't be able to write one for the last day. Sorry guys but...yeah. See ya later.
