Epilogue.Rachel rested her cheek against the cold glass of the backseat window; all the other windows open as her driver carried her trough the highway, fast to her home. Headache days were still awful after all these years, but combined with filming an episode for a TV series, they were terrible. She closed her eyes, imagining her warm, soft bed, ( Read more... )

Chapter sixteen.

Rachel broke her promise as soon as they got to her home. Quinn didn’t protest, didn’t even remind her they were supposed to wait until after one or two dates to do more than chaste kissing, and found that doing specific things with her mouth distracted Rachel quite a bit. They found that, once they could finally attend to their ( Read more... )

Chapter fifteen.

Only three words danced and bounced around Quinn’s head when she rang the doorbell of the Berry household on Friday morning.
“Are you blind?”
No, of course she wasn’t. Those words had come out of Santana’s mouth two days ago as they watched Finn and Rachel perform a song for Nationals. (They won.) She’d been trying to hide her scowl ( Read more... )

Chapter fourteen.

Quinn stood, her back against a tree, listening intently to the sounds of the woods. The wind was strong and it kept blowing her hair to her face, her trembling hands were cold and her heart pounded strongly inside her chest along with her head. It had been forty minutes, yet she refused to go without at least seeing Rachel. She ( Read more... )

Chapter thirteen.

Darkness engulfed the entire room when she opened her eyes. The first thing Quinn noticed was Rachel’s stomach below her head, her warm body around her arms, and the brunette’s arms wrapped around her shoulders. Rachel had slid down the bed sometime after she fell asleep, and Quinn had slid along with her. One of Rachel’s legs was ( Read more... )

Chapter twelve.

Rachel woke up and immediately jumped from the ground at the sound of the river. It seemed as if she was right next to it, or floating in it, but when she took in her surroundings, she couldn’t even see it. The birds where chirping too loudly, the bugs buzzing madly, and her heart was pounding in her ears. When she called out to ( Read more... )

Chapter Eleven.
Glee was a difficult affair as Quinn had to endure two and a half weeks of Rachel and Finn rehearsing a duet that had potential for the competition. Mr. Schuester had finally managed to get a tentative set list with enough time to be practiced and perfected, and it seemed as if they had all it took to win this year. But it was ( Read more... )

Chapter Ten.

Quinn spent the next day with Sam, and Rachel tried not to read too much into it. They didn’t have to spend every day together and she knew he’d been complaining about being neglected. Quinn drove her home in the morning and smiled at her before closing the passenger door, and Rachel held fiercely to that smile to try and convince ( Read more... )

Chapter Nine.
If they were looking for control, Rachel knew they had lost it as soon as they smelled it. It was a scent even stronger than the one they were used to from Mr. Linton’s sheep. For a fleeting second, she was afraid of it being a human, but it was almost impossible so deep in the woods, unless they were hunters. She growled at Quinn and ( Read more... )

Chapter Eight.
Despite having the busiest first month of school, they still had time to hear all about the rumors. If it wasn’t Jacob Ben Israel stalking them with his video camera on the first week, then it was Kurt whispering conspiratorially with Mercedes about them on the second, or Santana mocking them on the third, or Finn accusing them of ( Read more... )
