A/N: Alright so this is the first chapter in my new story blackmail. It takes place at the beginning of season 3 before there were any trouble-tones. Please please please review and tell me if I should continue this or not. Review!

It was a normal afternoon when Rachel was leaving school to go to Finn's house. Rachel loved thinking about her future with Finn. Whenever she thought about him she got this happy bubbly feeling inside that no matter what she did wouldn't go away.

Rachel was caught up thinking about Finn when she ran into someone.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! Um excuse me do I know you?" Rachel said to the strangely familiar man standing in front of her.

"No but I know you. Hello Rachel Berry my name is Richard Hoffman the new Vocal Adrenaline director and I am here to invite you into Vocal Adrenaline."

"Uh as flattering as that is I'm gonna have to say no." Rachel said starting to walk away.

"May I ask why?" Richard asked confusedly.

"Well my allegiance Is with the New Directions and your guys' style just doesn't work for me."

"But think about it this way with you on our team it would be a guaranteed win for us since we lost Sunshine Corazon. Right now it could go either way either New Directions could win or the more likely option Vocal Adrenaline." Richard said very smugly.

"Sorry the answer is still no." Rachel said trying to walk away but Richard

kept blocking her path.

"What if I told you that Jesse St. James has to retake some classes at Carmel so he's back with Vocal Adrenaline." Richard said so surely that Rachel would come upon hearing this.

"That just makes my answer even easier. I will most definitely not be coming to Vocal Adrenaline. Not that I was going to before or anything."

"I was hoping it wouldn't come to this Rachel." Richard said pulling something out of his bag.

"Come to what?" Rachel said getting nervous.

"This." Richard said holding out a photo to Rachel that made her face fall and turn into a look of horror.

"Where did you get this!" Rachel yelled angrily.

"Let's just say I have my sources. So what do you say Rachel are you in?"

"I guess I don't really have an option do I?" Rachel said sighing in defeat.

Rachel's POV: What am I going to tell the new directions or even Finn. Oh no Finn is going to hate me for this. I can already tell that things won't be pretty when they find out.

A/N: Tell me if this is a good idea or not. Also for those of you who are reading this for the finchel there will be plenty of it coming up. REVIEW PLEASE!
