Chapter 8

The next day Santana woke up feeling the happiest she's ever been. The night before had been perfect and had ended the way Santana had hoped for. Brittany was her girlfriend and all that was left was to mark her and make their bond seal. But, that could wait, for now she was happy to just be Brittany's girlfriend. She could finally go to school and show everyone that Brittany was hers and anyone who even tried anything would be in for a world of pain.

Santana went downstairs and found her mom sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast but Brian was nowhere in sight.

"Morning mami" Santana said as she served herself some pancakes to eat. "Where's Brian?"

"Oh he left early today to Brittany's house. Said something about promising Riley to play with her?" Maribel answered.

"Riley? That's Brittany's sister. Why would Brian go over this early to just play with her?" Santana asked in bewilderment. Then it clicked, the only reason Brian would willingly be up at 7 in the morning at a house that wasn't Ricky's would be because… Her mom's voice broke through her thoughts "Are you okay Mija?"

"Uh, yeah. I got to go. I promised I'd pick Brittany up early today" she lied and kissed her mom on the cheek as she ran out.

Maribel looked at her daughter confused but let her go. It must be important if Santana was in such a hurry to leave.

As Santana walked over to Brittany's house, she was ready to kill her brother. If her suspicions were true then he was a dead man. Santana knocked harshly on Brittany's door.

Brittany instantly answered and her brow scrunched up in confusion "San, what are you doing here?"

"Hey Britt-Britt" Santana answered calmly "Is Brian here?"

Brittany nodded and stepped aside for Santana to enter. Her gaze immediately landed on Brian and a little girl that looked no older than 8 sitting in the middle of the living room watching TV.

Brian sensed his sister's presence and flinched. He knew that this could not be good, if Santana's emotions were any indication.

"H...hey sis" he stuttered.

"Brian, kitchen now" she said and walked towards the kitchen with Brittany in tow.

Brian gulped and got up "I'll be right back kiddo."

Riley smiled and nodded. Brian made his way into the kitchen to face his sister's wrath.

BPOV (Brian)

Walking into the kitchen felt like walking to my death. I knew Santana's reason to be here and even though I did bond with Riley. It didn't mean that I saw her as a potential mate; she was a child for heaven's sake. But, my sister had the tendency to overreact to things and well I was in potential danger.

"So, what's up?" I asked hoping to not get attacked.

"Don't play stupid with me; you know exactly why I'm here. She's a child for god's sake Brian!" Santana yelled and I flinched.

I was scared of my sister but I stood my ground "I know she's just a child but like I told Brittany last night when the bond happened. I only see her as my sister right now. I'm going to be what she needs of me, not what she's meant to be."

I looked straight into my sister's eyes so she could tell I was telling the truth.

"It's true" Brittany said and Santana and I both looked at her.

"He told me last night all of that and I believe him" she said firmly.

Santana looked back at me and sighed "Okay, I believe you Brian. I'm sorry I overreacted. It's just because this hasn't happened in so long that I thought…" I interrupted her before she could finish "It's okay sis. No worries."

She smiled and I smiled back.

"Alright we need to get to school" Santana said and grabbed Brittany's hand so she could go grab her things.

I simply chuckled at the way those two acted around each other. They came running downstairs giggling with Brittany's bag in her hand.

"Meet you in the car" Santana said as she walked out with Brittany. "Bye Riley!" Brittany yelled before the door closed behind them.

"They're funny" Riley said and I smiled "Yup they sure are."

"Well I have to go kiddo" I said and Riley pouted.

"Aww but Brian I wanted to play princess and dragons" Riley said with tears threatening at her eyes. It broke my heart but I had to go to school or else my parent's would murder me for skipping.

"I'm sorry Riley but hey I'll come back after school and we'll play then, deal?" she nodded happily and gave me a kiss on the cheek before running up to her room. I smiled and walked out. I walked to where my sister's car was parked and I groaned. They were making out heavily in the front seat.

"Guys! Please that's disgusting" I said as I got into the car. They broke apart and Brittany giggled while Santana smirked.

"Whatever" Santana said and began driving to school. When we got to school we saw the pack waiting for us at the entrance. I quickly got out of the car knowing my sister would most likely be making out with Brittany again before school started.

I walked over to them and Sam looked confused "Where are Brittany and Santana?"

"They're over there exchanging DNA" I said in disgust and pointing at the car.

"Sounds like Santana" Rachel said.

"We make out in the car all the time though, babe" Quinn said. The rest of us laughed at the way Rachel's cheeks flushed.

"Quinn!" she said and Quinn just laughed and tightened her arm around her waist.

"Oh look the happy couple decided to grace us with their presence" Kurt said as Brittany and Santana walked over to us.

"Shut it Lady Hummel" Santana replied. Kurt rolled his eyes. We then walked into the school. Normally we get looks since we're always together but this time we got even more looks and it definitely had nothing to do with Sam's enormous lips. Everyone was staring at Brittany and Santana's joined hands. I looked over at my sister and she simply glared at anyone who looked at them funny.

We made it to our lockers which out of complete coincidence were right next to each other. I opened up my locker and Ricky walked over "Hey dude!" he greeted me. We did our signature handshake and Santana scoffed "Nerds."

I glared at her while the others chuckled. "So anyways, are we performing our new song today in Glee club?" Ricky asked. I had completely forgotten about our song with everything that had happened. I was excited to show it off so I nodded at Ricky and we fist bumped.

"Awesome!" The bell then rang and we all made our way to class.

Class came and went and before I knew it I was in Glee club with the others. Sam was telling us about one his TV shows and ignoring Puck's pack. When Mr. Schue walked in we all turned around in our seats to face him.

"Hey guys so I'd like for us to welcome a new member to our group" Mr. Schue said.

After that in walked Artie Abrams, of course he would join. Now both packs were in one room every day for about an hour, yeah that would end well. Artie went to sit by Rory but before sitting down I saw him look at Brittany and I stiffened. I felt Santana tighten her arm around Brittany's waist. Obviously she had seen that look too. Puck looked over at us and smirked. I rolled my eyes and raised my hand but before I could get Mr. Schue's attention, Artie spoke up.

"Mr. Schue I'd like to sing a song" he said confidently. I narrowed my eyes at him, not trusting what he was about to do.

Mr. Schue nodded "Alright then."

Artie got up and walked to the middle of the room and began to sing.

When I see you

I run out of words to say (oh oh)

I wouldn't leave you

'Cause you're that type of girl to make me stay (oh oh)

Artie walked over towards where we were sitting and we all stiffened, ready for anything.

Like the clouds you

Drift me away, far away (yeah)

And like the sun you

Brighten my day, you brighten my day (yeah)

I never wanna see you cry cry cry

And I never wanna tell a lie lie lie

Said I never wanna see you cry cry cry

And I never wanna tell a lie lie lie

What he did next made us freeze in shock. He began to sing to Brittany. Right in front of Santana and all of us he literally looked at Brittany and began to sing. I could see Brittany enjoy it and smile, oblivious to what Artie's real intentions were. I could also see my sister trembling slightly, on the verge of turning. Before things could escalate I stood up and blocked Brittany from Artie.

"Back away if you know what's best for you" I snarled. Artie ignored me and looked at my sister; he smirked, and went to sit down.

Everyone could feel the tension in the room, even Mr. Schue so he dismissed the class, smart move. We collected our things and we headed out. While my sister and Britt went to grab some things out of their locker, the rest of us waited by the entrance of the school

"Okay what the hell was up with Artie?" Sam asked.

"He sure had balls to sing to Brittany like that" Quinn said.

"I know. I'm not liking this, guys" I started "The emotions Artie had weren't normal. They practically mirrored Puck's on the night of the party" I said. This wasn't normal. Their emotions were practically the same but I didn't know what that meant.

"Well if you ask me, it looked like Artie was singing to his mate, but that would be impossible right?" Rachel asked.

When Rachel said that I shivered involuntarily, surely Artie hadn't- my thoughts were interrupted when my sister and Brittany joined us. My sister looked on the verge of killing someone and Brittany looked annoyed, uh-oh.

"Come on Brian, let's go" she said firmly and I nodded. I waved goodbye to the others and walked over to my sister's car. Santana drove to Brittany's place and dropped her off without really acknowledging her and then drove home.

SPOV (Santana)

Once Santana got home she went straight up to her room and locked herself inside. She was seething, how dare that fucker actually sing to her Brittany. Who does he even think he is? When he smirked at her she wanted to phase and wipe it off but Brian had interfered before she was even able to do anything to the little fucker.

To make things even more unbelievable, when she expressed her anger towards Artie to Brittany, Brittany had the guts to actually defend him.

Santana walked to her locker with Brittany. She was trembling with anger which Brittany took notice of.

"San? What's wrong?" Brittany asked concerned.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?!" Santana yelled and Brittany flinched.

"What's wrong is that that fucker actually sang to you" Santana said trying to not yell and scare Brittany.

Brittany looked confused "Why is that a problem? It was just a song."

Santana's eyes widened and she looked shocked "What do you mean why is that a problem? Britt he humiliated me in front of the whole Glee club."

Brittany scoffed "You're overreacting San. It was just a song."

Santana's anger was rising with every minute Brittany spent trying to justify Artie's actions.

"Britt you're my mate not his. He has no right to look at you like that or sing you a love song" Santana growled.

"Santana I may be your mate but that doesn't mean you can get mad at everyone who sings me a song" Brittany said starting to get annoyed at the way Santana was acting.

Santana sighed angrily.

Santana couldn't understand why Brittany was so naïve to think that Artie had just sung that song out of pure kindness. Santana had seen the way Artie had looked at Brittany and the way he had smirked at her as if saying I'm going to get your mate. No way in hell was she going to let Artie get anywhere near Brittany if she had anything to do about it.
