When Quinn, Santana, and Finn finally awoke, they were in a dark groom, softly lit by a red tint.
They each looked around with their eyes, trying to find an exit, or any clue as to where they were. Every other villager remained in the room, too. Some passed out, others crying for help.
"Okay, where are we?" Finn spoke aloud. 
His voice echoed in the room. 
The trio were all chained to the ground, and could barely shift their positions without the chains harshly tugging on their skin. 
"I have no clue. How'd we even get here?" Santana asked. 
Quinn remained quiet as she observed something from afar. In the distance stood a tall person with a curious stance. When they realised they'd been spotted they walked closer to the small group, nervously eyeing their daughter.
Queen Lennox approached and stopped in her tracks, making sure to keep her distance from the group.
"What do you want, you Big Mary?!" Santana snapped. 
Queen Lennox Gasped, and offendedly brought a hand up to her chest. 
"I beg your pardon? I sure hope your parents didn't teach you that." She furrowed her brows, yet she couldn't help but smirk a little.
"What do you want with us!" Quinn exclaimed. 
Queen Lennox sighed and knelt down to their level. 
"Not to hurt you, if that's what you're wondering," she said. 
The group of teenagers practically spat at the Queen. She herself, though, admired their hatred towards her, and how much anger they each had inside of them.
"Then let us go if you don't want to hurt us!" Finn ordered. 
Queen Lennox stood up and shook her head. "Afraid i can't do that. I need you all, for the time being," she said. 
"Are our parents alright?" Asked Santana. 
Queen Lennox nodded as she began walking to the exit of the room. 
"As far as i'm aware," she replied. 
Queen Lennox left, leaving everyone with their morbid thoughts. 'What did she want with them?' they'd all wonder to themselves. 
Surely it can't be of any good if she needed to cause chaos.

Puck had luckily been given some freedom to have a room all to himself where he we could walk around, rather than sit chained to the ground. His anxiety was through the roof, with the thoughts of his family and friends being injured. 
Queen Lennox had said she wouldn't actually hurt or enslave anyone, but who's to say she wasn't lying?
The door to Puck's room opened and thee stood Grace Shelby, Grace Terri, and Queen Lennox. The three women stepped into the room. 
"What's going on?" Puck asked. 
"Your friends are here. Would you like to see them?" 
Puck's eyes widened, he clenched his fists and bit at the skin on his lip.
"You better not have hurt them- you said you wouldn't!" Puck exclaimed. 
Queen Lennox looked down at Puck. "They're perfectly fine- barely a scratch on any of them. And, i said i wouldn't hurt them, i never said my men wouldn't." 
Puck didn't answer, he remained quiet as he thought everything over.
"Did you want to see them or not? I'd be more than happy to go on about my night," she sternly spoke. 
"Yes please," he mumbled. 
He followed Queen Lennox down a long hallway. Grace Shelby and Grace Terri following behind. The further they ventured the clearer several voices were heard coming from behind closed doors. 
Queen Lennox pushed the doors open, to reveal all the civilians shackled to the ground. 
Puck eyed the room, and when he spotted his friends he called out to them, then ran off in their direction.
"Puck!" They all exclaimed. 
They each tried to stand up, but were dragged back to the ground. 
Puck threw himself onto the ground to greet them at eye level.
"What are you doing here? We thought you were dead!" Finn spoke. 
Puck shook his head, "I'm still here. Are you guys okay? Did they hurt you?"
Queen Lennox stood from afar, watching the children interact with each other.She drowned  the out the cries of everyone else. 
"We're okay, just shaken up," Quinn said. 
"Why aren't you shackled in here either? Is this hog doing things to you?" Santana angrily scrunched up her face.
Puck looked back to Queen Lennox then back to his friends. "I don't think she's trying to hurt anyone, she's powerful, and if she wanted to hurt someone by now, she would have," he said. 
"Then why are we here? This clearly isn't out of the goodness of her heart!" Quinn tried to cross her arms, but realised she couldn't and slumped down in her seat. 
Puck leaned in closer to his friends. "She said she was trying to get her ex partners attention, and that this was the only way she'd be able to. I still don't quite understand that, but Queen Lennox said this was all a figure of speech. No one's actually going to be a slave, injured, or murdered."
Santana dumbly looked at Puck. "And that's supposed to make us feel better? She's literally ruined ours and everyone else's lives! This will cause permanent trauma, you know?" She spat. 
Before Puck could say anything else, Queen Lennox stepped forward. "Time's up. Let's go," she firmly spoke. 
Puck stood up and turned around, but remained in his spot. 
"I'll only go with you if my friends can join me," he said. 
Queen Lennox stared at Puck, and his friends for a short while before clearing her throat, and gesturing to Grace Shelby and Grace Terri to go over to them. 
"Very well. Unshackle them."
The two women did as they were obliged and walked over to the teens. Unlocking the chains the group were finally able to stand up. 
They stretched their arms and backs as they followed the three older women. 
Meanwhile, they all stayed in the back, whispering amongst themselves. 
"I'm so glad you're alive!" Quinn gave Puck a pat on the back. 
Santana and Finn nodded. 
"Seriously, though. We thought you were dead! Oh, how happy your parents will be when they find out you're okay!" Santana said. 
Puck looked to the ground and dragged his feet. 
"Are they doing okay?" He asked. 
"As okay as any parent would be losing their child," Finn said. "I don't know how they're doing right now though, i don't even know if they're still where we left them. The last time we saw any of our parents they were in a brawl with Queen Lennox's men."
Santana rolled her eyes and loudly groaned. "Which is why this witch deserves to be burnt at the stake."
Puck couldn't help but feel guilty for keeping a giant secret from his friends. He slowly nodded along with Santana- though surely she'd think otherwise had she realised who Queen Lennox actually was. 
"Let's just use our powers and get out of here," Finn whispered. 
Quinn shook her head. "There's too many people, we'd only put our lives in more danger," she said. 
The group arrived at the small room Puck was staying in. The group reluctantly walked into the room and watched Queen Lennox close the door behind, locking it afterwards.

All the parents stood exhausted. The men they fought laid pretty much lifeless on the ground, and the entire room had been completely destroyed. 
It was flooded, there were vines and thorns protruding out from the ground, lasers had sliced belongings into pieces, and the walls were scorched from fire. 
"We have to find our kids!" Mr. Lopez said.
