"Sit"Santana ordered Hunter.The man laughed at her demands as he played with his gun.The latina tapped her foot in irritation"I thought I told you to do something"

"I am not your prisoner"he snarled at her with bitter.The woman in front of him chuckled at his innosense.In a way he was their prisoner,sure he wasn't tied up in a chair,he couldn't do whatever he felt to do.Hunter was going to leave Mckinley,but only when he was allowed to.

"I am the one to jugde that"she smirked and turned to face"Do you want to know what I think?"

"Not really"

"I think you regret not killing me that day"

"You're good,have you considered becoming a psych?"

"What I never understood,however,was why you wanted to kill me.It couldn't have been because of Sebastian-you didn't love him that much"

Hunter's throat dried and his skin was burning.He would take a lot shit from Santana but somewhere along the way he would draw the line.

"You don't get to talk about that"

"I'll talk for what I want to talk"she replied sharply while crossing her arms"Oh and don't play the victim with me"

"I am the victim.He dumped me for you"

"You almost tried to kill me!"

"You aren't going to let that one go,are you?"he mumbled.Of course,she wouldn't understand.Nobody could if they hadn't lived it themselves or had at least seen it.This was one of the reasons why Hunter clicked with Daisy,because she knew.

"Me trying to kill you has nothing to do with you being a slut"

The latina laughed at his comment"I'll have you know,I gave him no green light to come after me"

"But you sure as hell didn't give him a red one"he snapped"You were married with a son,you should be ashamed"

Santana didn't give him a snarky comment-or a reply at all-she just looked at the floor.Perphaps because he was right,sure it wasn't entirely her fault,she had a part in all this story.But this was a different tale for some other time...

"You are tensed"Hunter commented snapping her back to reality.The woman looked at him and sighed.

"I want to work things out with you"

"Why?I thought I was a prisoner"

"Right now the only enemy I want to have is WCKD"

"And the Cranks"

"And the Cranks"Santana repeated in agreement.The boy smiled and got up with an evil smirk in his 'stupid' face.

"You know there's only one way we can call it even"

"I should shoot you"

"No!"Hunter shout while raising his arms in defense"Not in a million years!"

"I was kidding"she stated in a duh-tone"I know what you want and frankly,I thought you'd never ask"

The two of them shared a smile as Santana put the disk in the Cd-player"I thought you had a band"

"Well it is the apocalypse,so I told them not to come"Santana told him sarcastically"One,two,three go!"

 Santana:Sorry, I'm not sorry

Cause I've been rolling round,

Shut it down, lady

Bagged him up, now he's my baby

Sorry, I'm not sorry

Yeah you had your fun now it's done, crazy

Lookin' at his number one lady

Hunter chuckled at her song selection.Of course she would choose Naya Rivera-and not only because of their slim resemblance-and a break-up song.

S-O-R-R-Y, S-O-R-R-Y

Yeah you had your fun, now it's done, crazy

Lookin' at his number one lady

The latina walked up to him with a seducive look as she pushed him aside.

I don't really know much about ya

But it's clear you know my name

So I guess all I can tell ya

Is that I don't have much to say

If you used to be the one

Well I don't know shit about it

I don't know shit about it

But I know you mad about it

Hunter gave her a spin and he must admit two things;One,she is very flexible for her age.Two,she was good-not as good as him-but she did have a good voice.

He loves the way I put it down

Starstruck on what he found

You wishin' that it played out different

Yeah I know it sucks boy

I'm so...

Both:Sorry, I'm not sorry

Cause I've been rolling round, shut it down, lady

Bagged him up, now he's my baby

Meanwhile Santana was also impressed with his vocal skills.Apparently all bad guys had a very good voice,which was ironic because,if he had such a good voice he wouldn't have cheated with drugs.

Sorry, I'm not sorry

Yeah you had your fun now it's done, crazy

Lookin' at his number one lady

S-O-R-R-Y, S-O-R-R-Y

Yeah you had your fun, now it's done, crazy

Lookin' at his number one lady

Santana was,obviously,a better dancer than him.After all her ex-wife was an excellent dancer.

Now you showin' up at his house

Looking like a hot mess, honey

I think it's time for you to cut it out

Tryin' save you from looking funny

I guess until you find somebody

You're a hashtag and pity party

Party, party, party, party

All I gotta say is, I'm so...

Hunter smirked and joined her once more a bit louder,fighting to outshine her voice.

Both:Sorry, I'm not sorry

Cause I've been rolling round, shut it down, lady

Bagged him up, now he's my baby

Sorry, I'm not sorry

Yeah you had your fun now it's done, crazy

Lookin' at his number one lady

He pushed her aside as the rap part came.

Hunter:You are now rolling with the all-time high, never satisfied

Forever getting paid off what money can't buy

Oh, always in the streets you'd a thought I scared of heights

Oh, my girl so fine that you scared to tell her "hi"

She a all-around ten like a high five

And we ain't fall in love, we skydive

I always get off when she's on, she's there I'm gone,

I call her "fine", she call me "Sean"

And I love 'em quarter G, quarter freak

Quarter Puerto Ric, quarter sweet Hono-lu-lu-lu out on the beach

South of France me and my Monna Lise

Bon appetit, mon amie

Santana:Yeah I know it sucks boy I'm so...

Both of them were panting at the moment Kitty and Artie walked inside.The couple had a serious look on their faces but Santana and Hunter decided to ignore their yelling.

Both:Sorry, I'm not sorry

Cause I've been rolling round, shut it down, lady

Bagged him up, now he's my baby

Sorry, I'm not sorry

Yeah you had your fun now it's done, crazy

Lookin' at his number one lady

Amber, Brittany, Tiffany

Sorry he belongs to me

Heather, Ashley, Stephanie

It just wasn't meant to be

S-O-R-R-Y, S-O-R-R-Y S-O-R-R-Y

"Now that you are done"Kitty began as she tapped her foot in anger"Brittany is missing"

Hunter looked at Santana with the corner of his eye,the woman was literally shaking.She couldn't loose Brittany too,she wasn't going to let that happen.

Breadstixs,13:50

"They have been gone way too long"Sonya whispered while pacing around the floor.Mihno shrugged his shoulders as Brenda yawned.

"I'm sure they are fine"the brunette girl reassured her.Sonya sighed and turned to Thomas who was lying against the wall.

"Thomas,back me up"

"Thomas agrees with us,right?"Brenda questioned while rubbing her eyes.The boy stood straight with a serious look on his eyes.

"I think we should try and find them"

"Of course he would think that"Mihno whispered to himself.If Thomas had a death wish while they were in Maze,he had now made it his purpose to get killed.

"Even if we went to search them"Brenda began"They've taken the SUV"

"Well then good for us,both Mihno and I were runners"

"It's settle then"Sonya stated proudly.Brenda and Mihno shared an unpleasant look before nodding.Why did Thomas always want troubles?

///\\\///\\\

Location:Undentified,13:50

This was the most stupid thing she had done.If we weren't of course to count most of her highschool experience,how she created soulmate identifying marks etc.A spider felt down with its web making the blonde flinch.

Brittany really hated bugs...

And honestly,when she decided to follow her brain-ironically enough-never in a million years would have she imagined so many bugs.

"Couldn't it be candy bars?"she mumbled.Deep down she knew that it had to be bugs,she was after all surrounded by trash and dumpsters.Now if anyone saw her,if anyone knew that she was there,they would call her stupid and naive.Perhaps they'd be right.

 She had a few talks with Fitzsimmons,the three of them usually made small chats and nothing serious.Brittany believed it was due to her lack of intelligence.But after their first serious talk,she realised it was because of her normality.

Jemma had told her,quoted"The world is full of things you don't understand-not all of them are good"

And after a lot of talking about many weird stuff,they told her about him.Hive was a terrifying creature that she wished she would never meet,but fate was not going to grant her this wish.

The blonde walked and walked until her legs hurt.The Cranks would not pay attention to her and the few that did she would shoot.Jemma had mentioned the pattern the creatures followed,it wasn't easy to memorize it,and lucky for Brittany she cared enough to remember it.

"What are you doing here?"

The voice was raw and caring at the same time.A feeling of fear mixed with happiness sent shivers down Brittany's spine.Faith had definetly a funny way of telling you 'I can mess with your life as much as I want'.

"You're here"was the only thing that managed to come out of her mouth.The blonde pinched herself twice to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

"That wasn't an answer to my question"she replied harshly"You do know english right?"

Of course-usually-she would have been offended.There were some descriptions she found rude and one of them were the blonde bimbo skunk.Brittany wasn't stupid and normally she-and Santana-would fight anyone who told her otherwise.

However this wasn't the case

"You don't mean that"she whispered.Brittany wasn't quite sure whether it was an assurance for her or Quinn.Maybe it was for them both.

"You don't know what I fucking mean and what not"Quinn was harsh on her with venom dripping from her tongue.

"We are best friends"

"We were"she corrected.The other girl felt a part of her dying with Quinn's every word.She shouldn't have come here.Could she return back?Was it too late to just give up and walk away from her problems?

No it wasn't.

But that didn't mean she should do it.She lost her little-well not really little-boy,she lost Santana and Lord Tubbington,she lost everything.Quinn had a small chance to be saved and no one,not even Hive,would stop her from saving her friend.Even if it meant dragging her cranky ass back to Mckinley.

Brittany sighed as she took a closer look at Crank!Quinn.Somewhere inside of her,Quinn's presence still lingered.The only way she could bring her back seemed to be the old fashioned one.

Brittany:I'll be your light, your match, your burning sun

I'll be the bright in black that's makin' you run

And we'll feel alright, and we'll feel alright

'Cause we'll work it out, yeah we'll work it out

Quinn stared at her clearly not amused but the blonde ignored her.She was serious about this and Quinn had to have figured out by then.

I'll be doin' this, if you have a doubt

'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

Quinn's instict kicked in as Brittany went on.Damn these six years in Glee,she should have sticked with the Cheerios.

Quinn:I'll be your ghost, your game, your stadium

I'll be your fifty-thousand clapping like one

And I feel alright, and I feel alright

'Cause I worked it out, yeah I worked it out

I'll be doin' this, if you have a doubt

'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

However,the Crank inside of her wouldn't let her be.She tried to run away from it-literally and metaphorically-but for her luck,Brittany was an excellent runner.Like mentioned before,there was a downside with being an ex-Cheerio.

Brittany:I got my mind made up, man,

I can't let go

I'm killing every second 'til it sees my soul

(Quinn:Ooh) I'll be running,

(Quinn:Ooh) I'll be running

'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down

'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

Brittany watched Quinn looking at her with wild eyes.Yet the woman still longed to see her friend saint once again,and she truly believed that,one say she would.

Quinn:There's a maniac out in front of me

Got an angel on my shoulder, and Mestopheles

but mama raised me good, mama raised me right

Mama said, "Do what you want, say prayers at night,"

And I'm saying them, 'cause I'm so devout

'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out,yeah

If anything happened to Quinn,Brittany would blame Rachel and WCKD.Probably Fitzsimmons' ex boss was to blame also but Brittany did not really know who the man was.

Brittany:I got my mind made up, man,

I can't let go

I'm killing every second 'til it sees my soul

(Quinn:Ooh) I'll be running,

(Quinn:Ooh) I'll be running

'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down

'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

And that was when Brittany began loosing her....well....sanity.She thought she had seen everything,WCKD had made sure of that,but seeing all these Cranks gathered in one place was different.It was like their stories were travelling with them,one cannibal zombie equaled one soul that was lost.

Brittany:Oh, we all want the same thing

Quinn:Oh, we all run for something  run for God, for fate

Brittany:For love, for hate

Quinn:For gold and rust

Brittany:For diamonds and dust

Quinn:I'll be your light, your match, your burning sun

I'll be the bright in black that's makin' you run

Quinn grabbed a lighter from one of the Cranks-she always found smoking as a Crank quite intelligent,the cigarette could no longer destroy what you didn't have-and grinned.The blonde found herself in some wooden construction,probably an old restaurant,and let the lighter fall down.Brittany watched her from outside with tears falling down her eyes.

Both:I got my mind made up, man, I can't let go

I'm killing every second 'til it sees my soul

(Ooh) I'll be running, (Ooh) I'll be running

'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down

'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out

I'll be your light, your match, your burning sun

I'll be the bright in black that's makin' you run

And we'll feel alright, and we'll feel alright

'Cause we'll work it out, yes, we'll work it out.

And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down

'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.

'Til the love runs out!

Damn it Fabray,Brittany thought.The younger woman stormed inside the building with nerve.She began coughing unstoppably while covering her nose and mouth with her right hand.

"You don't belong here"

"I know"

///\\\///\\\

Fabray manor,14:00

"This is wicked"Sonya mumbled as she opened the door to the mansion.Brenda walked after her as Mihno and Thomas followed.

"You have been saying that from the moment we entered this neighbourhood"Brenda told her.The blonde scoffed in reply and took a closer look to the furnitures.

"Excuse me for only having stayed in a Maze and a restaurant"

"Please this place isn't that fa--holy klunk look at this!"Mihno exclaimed with happiness.The asian boy ran towards the tv with open arms.

"I only saw you like once in my life but"he whispered"you're the love of my life"

"We shouldn't be in someone's house uninvited"Thomas blurted out"Plus we should continue our search"

"Relax Tomboy"Sonya laughed as she opened the shelves in a search for food"Have some fun"

"Fun?Our friends are missing"

"And you being worried won't bring them back"

Thomas sighed and leaned back on a chair.Mihno was staring at the huge television with amusement while Brenda had moved inside the halls.

"Min"Sonya called out bringing the boy back into reality.He raised his head to look at the blonde with confusion.

"What?"

"The tv is closed"

"So?"

"You're staring at a black screen as if it was a donut"

"Um guys?"Brenda's voice echoed inside the big building.It almost had them scared for a moment,after all it was a big place,maybe there were Cranks inside.

As the three of them walked further,the interior chanced abruptly.The walls were burned and dusty with spider webs in every corner.Blood was spilled in the halls which made them doubt whether they were still in the same house.

"Holy klunk"Sonya shout in terror.The blonde watched the lifeless body of a once-dog lying inside a boy's room.She figured out it was a boy's since it wass blue and messy with trophies on the library.

"That's a shucking mess"Mihno whispered while he pointed at the dog.The poor husky's guts were spilled out and blood covered the white parts of his fur.

"Poor thing"Sonya replied and closed the door to the room"I don't need this image in my head"

Suddenly a scream was heard making Mihno jump a little.The trio exchanged a scared look and ran towards the sound.Thomas watched Brenda screaming at the sight of something as he entered the room,but once he got in,the door closed behind him and locked itself.Mihno and Sonya began hitting it with anger.

"Are you okay?"

The girl nodded terrified and pointed at the room's corner.Thomas looked the woman in front of him with fear,there was something on her.She sent you an air of terror.She wasn't like the rest of the Cranks,no,she looked more sane than the rest and less zombie-ish.Honestly,the only thing that reminded you of a Crank was the wild eyes and maybe the blood on her ripped clothes.

"Now isn't that"she began and walked closer to Thomas.She lifted his chin with her left hand and smirked"one nice nose?I have qyite a few friends that would be interested"

Thomas moved his head leaving a tiny red mark on his neck.She looked at him disappointed and turned to Brenda.

"Don't you dare"the brunette girl growled at her"I don't become a sight for Cranks"

"That was rude.Last time I checked,you were inside my house"she explained with crossed arms"You should really teach your girlfriend some manners,Tommy"

The name made Thomas flinched.He wasn't sure what was that caused this reaction.Part of him did it because a Crank-and apparently a powered one-knew his name,but there was another part that didn't want to hear that name.Newt was the only one that called him that.

"Who are you?"he questioned her.She laughed as an evil smirk formed to her lips.

"Did I hit a weak spot?"

"I asked you a question"he snapped"Who the shuck are you?"

"Beth"she introduced herself and took a bow,letting her blonde hair cover her face"Elizabeth Puckerman if you like it formal"

Thomas and Brenda looked at each other before she continued"But I guess this means nothing to you"

"Wait,you know me?"

Beth let a laugh escape her as she placed her arms on Thomas' and Brenda's shoulders"Let me tell you a story kid,oh but I should warn you"she grinned and unlocked the door"I tend to get a bit noisy"

Beth:Hey girl, open the walls

Play with your dolls

We'll be a perfect family

When you walk away, is when we we really play

You don't hear me when I say

Beth dragged the couple outside of the room and hit Mihno with the door as she opened.The boy groaned and Sonya slammed his arm.Then Beth took only Thomas' hand and walked around the halls.

Mom, please wake up, dad's with a slut

And your son is smoking cannabis

No one ever listens, this wallpaper glistens

Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen

Places, places, get in your places

Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces

Everyone thinks that we're perfect

Please don't let them look through the curtains

Thomas was actually worried about the girl.Honestly speaking,he had began to doubt the line between her sanity and insanity.

Picture, picture, smile for the picture

Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister

Everyone thinks that we're perfect

Please don't let them look through the curtains

D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E I see things that nobody else sees

She stopped outside the master room and froze for a while.It was like she was thinking whether he should let him in,and honestly she was.Because inside Beth,her old former self was fighting the brainwashed one.

Don't let it win

She shook her hand and showed Thomas the big phot frame on the desk.Thomas watched the girl she was and the one she had become.There she looked happy standing next to her mother proudly as her father held her little,about six or seven,brother.

Hey girl, look at my mom she's got it going on

Ha! You're blinded by her jewelry

When you turn your back

She pulls out her flask

And forgets his infidelity

Ah oh, she's coming to the attic plastic, go back to being plastic

No one ever listens, this wallpaper glistens

One day they'll see what goes down in the kitchen

Moments like these made him realise eaxctly how awful it was to be a Crank.Moments like these made it easier to live with the pain of having killed Newt.His face dropped at the memory,and Beth noticed.

Places, places, get in your places

Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces

Everyone thinks that we're perfect

Please don't let them look through the curtains

Picture, picture, smile for the picture

Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister

Everyone thinks that we're perfect

Please don't let them look through the curtains D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E

I see things that nobody else seesHey girl

Hey girl, open your walls play with your dolls

We'll be a perfect family

She knew she didn't have much time-she could had had more if she didn't made a musical number-and she guided the boy inside her brother's room.She carefully avoided stepping on Snow(poor little guy)and grabbed a red marker.

Places, places, get in your places

Throw on your dress and put on your doll faces

Everyone thinks that we're perfect

Please don't let them look through the curtains

Picture, picture, smile for the picture

Pose with your brother, won't you be a good sister

Everyone thinks that we're perfect

Go to Mckinley,she wrote at the wall with big red letters.Thomas looked at her confused and uncertain of what exactly Mckinley meant.

Please don't let them look through the curtains

Oh and sorry for that

D-O-L-L-H-O-U-S-E I see things that nobody else sees

"Sorry for wha--"

"Hail Hydra"
