Santana's summer had started out pretty well until now. She had been able to spend time with her beloved Abuela, to see Brittany and convince her that they could kiss without it being weird, she even found time to go shopping and have a few parties with her friends.

Until now.

Only a couple of weeks left of vacation before school started again and it was going to ruin her memories of this summer vacations forever… Suddenly, she picture the horror movie guy on the phone telling her "I know what you did last summer..." in a super creepy voice just when she's standing in her underwear, about to take them off to shower.

She hadn't been careful enough driving her Abuela to the drug store and she had accidentally ran an old lady over. Sure, the woman was probably close to the end of her life anyway, but it still was wrong. She hoped they didn't take her licence away for this. However, the instant it happened, she felt something happening in her and she didn't know what it was but a big change happened inside her, she could feel it.

As they answered questions from the cops and the paramedics, she couldn't help but notice her grandmother's anxious stare and wandered what it was all about. Surely her grandmother couldn't be afraid of her simply because she had a little accident right?

"What's going on Abuelita? Why are you looking at me this way?" Santana asked her grandmother when they finally arrived at the old woman's house.

"Sit down Santana, it's time I tell you a family secret that has been hidden for a long time. Your parents know about it but I think it's my duty to tell you now."

"What is it?"

Then Santana's life changed forever as her grandmother told her that her family were issued from a long and old werewolf line and that by causing the death of this old lady, she had triggered her curse.

"Santana, your grandfather was a werewolf and he died killed by a hunter… Werewolves are dangerous and even though I love you, there are some things I simply cannot go through anymore. During the next full moon you will change and you won't have a choice. You won't control yourself anymore and you will end up hurting people."

"What if I lock myself in my room?" Santana asked, tears in her eyes.

"It won't hold you Santana. You have to go now… Please, don't come back. I just can't go through it all again, supporting another werewolf in this town is just not possible."

Santana was both shocked and sad. She managed to keep her tears at bay while she was driving. She didn't want to have yet another accident now did she.

.

When she finally got home, her parents had heard about what happened from her grandmother and knew what it meant. They were both waiting for her, looking grave.

"Abuela told me… She doesn't want me to go see her anymore… She said I should leave…"

"Santana sweetheart…You know we both love you but… We're afraid… We don't want to get hurt…" Her mother told her.

"Where am I supposed to go?" She asked them, in tears over what she felt in her heart like a betrayal.

"The full moon is in a few days… You have to go as far away as possible honey… Come, I'll help you pack… I have money saved for your college education, I'll give it to you. You'll call us when you're settled and we'll send you the rest of your things." Her mother said.

Santana resigned herself to do as her parents told her and packed a few bags before she went to her car. She still had a couple of DVD's to give back to Puck so she swung by his house, figuring she'd give him the goodbye letters she had written for her friends as well.

"Yo Satan, what's up. What are the bags for?" He asked her as he eyed the bags in the back of her car.

When she arrived, he had been in his yard, picking out a few plants she guessed where bad seeds. She knew that his mother had asked him to do this during the entire summer to teach him about responsibilities or something like that.

"It's a long story but I have to leave… Anyway, here, I'm returning these to you." She said handing him the DVD's.

As he took them, one of the plant he had been holding fell on her bare arm and burned her skin.

"What the hell!" she exclaimed.

"This is wolf's bane… You're a werewolf? Since when?" He asked her in realisation and surprise.

"How do you even know about this?" She asked him, shocked. Even she didn't know that some plants could burn her.

"It's a long story, come on, we'll be better inside to talk, my mother and sister are out for the next few hours." He replied.

Once inside, he served Santana a cold bear and told her of Damon and Rachel and of how he came to know all those things about the supernatural. In return, she told him what had just happened to her.

"And now my parents are too afraid to let me stay here and I don't know what to do or where to go…" She ended.

"You could go to Rachel's… She knows another werewolf in Mystic Fall's. Her ex. Plus now that she's 18 she's like half vampire and half witch, totally bad-ass. I know she'll help you."

"You think?"

"I know she will. Here, last time I saw her she gave me an open plane ticket to visit her if I ever needed her help or something, you can use it. I'll call ahead. I know she just got back from her summer vacations in Europe." Puck said.

"That would be cool."

She didn't know if Rachel would really end up helping her but she figured that she didn't have much of a choice anyway. Puck and her checked departure times, he helped her sell her car quickly before he drove her to the airport. She was nervous about what would happen to her next but she knew that she didn't have much of a choice.

.

"Hey Noah, what's going on?" Rachel said as she answered her phone.

She was just finished putting all her summer purchases in her room and was about to head to Sheila's to give her back her books on magic when he called.

"Listen, I have some important news from you."

"What is it? You sound serious…" She replied as her father came next to here to listen.

"Long story short, Santana accidentally killed an old lady and found out in the process that she's a werewolf. Her parents are afraid and kicked her out. I found out accidentally when Wolf's bane burned her skin and told her about you. I told her you'd help her, that you'd find a safe place for her to shift during the full moon…You know, since Tyler is one and all…" Noah explained quickly.

"Of course we'll help. Where is she now?" Rachel said as Damon nodded.

"She's using the airplane ticket you gave me. It should land in a few hours. I just texted the flight info to your father."

"Yes, he just got it. We'll pick her up and help her. Thanks Noah, we'll keep you informed." Rachel said before she hung up.

"So, we're getting a pet?" Damon asked with an amused expression on his face.

"You don't mind helping her do you?" Rachel asked him.

"Of course not. Come one, we better leave now if we want to catch her flight. We also have to warn Tyler that he's going to have a cell mate."

"Those two will end up either killing each other or fucking the entire night." Rachel replied with a blush at her own language.

"You're right!" Damon chuckled.

.

Santana was happily surprised to see a smiling Rachel waiting for her.

"Rachel... Thank god you're here! I was afraid Noah wouldn't be able to convince you and that I'd end up all alone..." Santana said as she let herself go and hugged Rachel.

"Welcome to your new Home Santana. Daddy's in the car. We'll get one of the guest rooms ready for you and tomorrow we'll talk with Tyler about sharing his cellar during the full moon." Rachel said.

"Thank you…For everything you're about to do."

"You're welcome. Now come. Oh, and now that you know who we are, you'll see my father as his young self." Rachel added.

"Yeah, Puck said something about that." Santana nodded as they grabbed her bags.

During the drive, they talked a lot, making sure everyone knew the same facts and telling Santana everything she needed to know about supernatural and the town of Mystic Fall's. The young woman was grateful for what they were doing when her own family didn't want to step up for her.

When they got home, Rachel showed Santana to her new bedroom and told her they would be able to redecorate it to her taste later. Then, since it was still early, she took her in town where they met up with everyone and ate some dinner at the Grill.

Of course Tyler was there and he agreed to share his cellar, he didn't know what else to say. He couldn't refuse refuge to a hot girl now could he? Especially when this super hot girl was apparently friends with Rachel... he knew Rachel was just his friend but why didn't he want to make her mad at him?

When she went to bed that night, Santana smiled. A bright new life was starting for her. She knew that the people around her now knew the real her and accepted her just the way she was... The only thing missing was her sweet Brittany...

As she thought about her innocent blond friend, her cell phone rang. Brittany wanted to chat.

So, what do you think of Santana's introduction in this story? Yes, Brittany will appear. No, she won't go to Mystic Fall's.
