"What are you afraid of?" The kindergarten teacher's eyes had softened behind angular spectacles. She searched the flood of faces in the room, "What thing in this world makes you scared?". Kurt recalled the answers differing, but most were predictable. He remembered a brunette's hand shooting up promptly.

"I'm afraid of being anonymous." The young girl declaimed matter-of-factly. The small students discussed obtrusively about this. "That's interesting, Rachel.", The teacher mumbled. She had forced a smile; unable to comprehend how she should react to this,"Anyone else?"

"S-spiders." Another child stuttered.

"That's true." The woman replied placidly in agreement, "Spiders are scary, aren't they?". Several students echoed, "Yes, miss."

"And snakes, too!" A boy called out loudly.

"Yes." The woman had chuckled, "Snakes scare me with their teeth. How about you Kurt?". Several faces twisted to front him. He had puzzled over the answer, unhesitatingly pushed back his bangs and responded quite confidently.

"I'm afraid of monsters." He conjectured. A chorus of giggles had followed this. The teacher had hushed them, "What kind of monsters, Kurt?"

"There are lots of different ones." He claimed, averting his eyes to glance sidewards at the children who were still stifling laughter.

"Which ones scare you?" The teacher inquired.

"Well, certainly not the fake ones. The ones that eat kids, or steal things." He exclaimed and after a pause he added , "I'm only afraid of the real ones."

Kurt Hummel had always abhorred monsters. Just not in the most literal sense.
