Chapter 1
Kurt and Blaine where sitting in the choir room, snuggled close. It had been a good year and now they were back in McKinley, happy as ever. Kurt was still a little jittery but that was to be suspected and as none of his friends remembered Kurt was able to push the events far from his mind.
"Right, seeing as we're all here it's time to get down to business. Now we may have lost at nationals but there is no reason why we won't be able to win this year." Mr Schue was saying from the front of the room. There were a few murmurs in agreement. "We've lost two members of our group so we need to focus on bringing in more members." Sam had gone left when his Dad had got a job in another state, Puck had been unable to convince Lauren to stay and Quinn had been killed the year previous. This left the group with, only, the 11 members. "We need more members so that we can actually compete." The group nodded, determined. "Right, that's the assignment for the week. Recruit new members. We're going to sing in the assembly and I want it kept clean." The group nodded, a little put out. 2 of their previous performances had ended in a sex riot and another had ended in Rachel being vomited all over.
The rest of the lesson was spent with Mr Schue running through what songs they could sing in the assembly and Rachel butting in every few minutes. By the time the bell rang they were all just glad to leave.
LINE BREAK
"Hey, baby." Blaine said as he grabbed Kurt around the waist. Kurt stifled a laugh as the remaining students left in the halls, that weren't the glee club, glared at them. "I've missed you." Kurt just shook his head.
"You just spent the whole of glee club cuddling me and that was what...not even 5 minutes ago." Blaine laughed.
"You've been missing for most of the summer." Kurt had the decency to feel ashamed of this. Yes he had been missing but he had needed some space. He had ended up spending most of the summer with his Uncle Elijah and making a few trips to Mystic Falls. He had missed the place and was thankful when his Uncle had said something about needing to go. What he wasn't thankful for was the drama that had unfolded when his Uncle Klaus had shown up. They were all lucky to get out alive and even then Stefan was still missing.
Looking up into Blaine beautiful hazel eyes, Kurt decided that this year he was going to make sure Blaine was safe. Unlike the previous year where things had gotten out of control. "Well, I had things to do so why don't we go and get some coffee and talk." Blaine perked up at the word coffee before escorting Kurt to his car.
They spent their coffee date, talking about Blaine's part in a play he had done over the summer. However, when Blaine pressed for details about Kurt's summer he was given vague information about how Kurt had spent the summer with an Uncle. By the time Blaine dropped Kurt at his house they were both exhausted.
LINE BREAK
The Hummel-Hudson's didn't have much to discuss as they ate their dinner. Nothing particularly interesting had happened that day. Finn had been trying to press details about Kurt's summer, seeing as Kurt had been the one to go, leaving the rest of them behind. But when Burt shot the taller teen a look Finn shut up about it.
That night Kurt and Finn where left to do the dishes. Burt and Carole had switched on the TV in the other room. Kurt had his hands in the washing up bowl as Finn continued interrogating him. "What did you do over summer?" Kurt just rolled his eyes, going back to the plate he had been scrubbing.
"What did you do?"
"You know what I did." Kurt raised an eye-brow. "Come on I've been stuck here playing video games all summer and you've been out of this town having fun." Kurt barely suppressed the urge to laugh at this.
"Trust me Finn; my summer was anything but fun."
"Well, at least you went on a holiday. Who'd you go with any way, all Burt said was that it was some Uncle from your Mum's side of the family."
"It was my Uncle Elijah." Finn frowned at this, looking as if he were trying to remember something.
"Don't you have another Uncle? I'm sure I've met one of them before." Kurt froze but Finn didn't seem to notice.
"You're probably imagining things." Finn just shook his head. "Anyway, have you thought of anyone who might want to join Glee Club?" Finn didn't seem to notice the change in conversation as he launched into a story about some new guy that had joined the football team.
Finn didn't bring up any more awkward conversations again and the rest of the evening carried on as it always did in the Hummel-Hudson household.
LINE BREAK
After two days the New Directions where waiting to perform for the school. Usually, they weren't nervous for a performance but with their track record of school performances they had become sober. Figgins was just finishing announcing the group as they started to perform.
When they were done with the performance they didn't get a very good applaud. However, the group and Mr Schue were just glad there hadn't been any problems this time around. As they took their seats Figgins reappeared in front of the mic.
"Now I would like to remind you all that it is still quite dangerous. The killer who killed some of your fellow students and a member of our staff along with other people inside the town is still out there and although there have been no deaths of this cause recently I would like to ask you all to be cautious." Kurt felt guilt start to build up in his stomach but managed to push it back down.
"Hey, you coming." Blaine asked, grabbing Kurt's hand and pulling him up. Kurt hadn't noticed Figgins stop speaking. Smiling up at Blaine, Kurt swiftly got up from the chair. "How are you so flexible?"
"You will never know." Blaine rolled his eyes at this, walking to keep up with Kurt's fast pace.
"Hey, boo." Mercedes grabbed Kurt's arm as he and Blaine said their goodbyes.
"Hey." The pair linked arms as they made their way to their Maths class.
"I haven't seen you all summer, boo."
"Yeah, sorry 'bout that I had to go visit an Uncle of mine." Mercedes nodded as they entered the class. Nothing interesting happened in the class and Kurt was thankful when it ended.
Kurt's day was pretty boring and he was thankful when Glee came around. Glee was Kurt's favourite part of the day, even if he did have to spend it listening to Rachel whine (although Kurt had to admit she was getting nicer, if only by a small amount).
Just as Kurt was about to enter the room his phone buzzed. Frowning, Kurt took it out from his pocket. When he saw who it was he walked to the nearest bathroom, locking the door behind him.
"What school are you at, Kurt?" Kurt frowned at this odd question.
"William McKinley, in Lima. And why the hell do you want to know?"
"We have a situation and we're coming to pick you up, if you'd like to help that is." Kurt rolled his eyes at the statement.
"When are you going to be here?"
"In about an hour."
"I'll wait outside for you." With this Kurt turned off the phone, wondering what on earth was going on.
