They didn't know how long they lay there on the shore. Far too long to be safe from the humans that occasionally went to the beach, but in their desperate embrace they couldn't care, clinging tightly against one another while they were trapped by the net. The tide had long gone out and the sky was turning pink, symbolising the approaching dawn and with it their discovery. Softly Blaine began to sing not caring about their predicament until Kurt had stopped shaking. He didn't care if they would be lucky and be caught and placed in cage for the amusement of other land dwellers instead of killed and examined. He was focused on what he could do, taking care of his Kurt.
The sun soon appeared peeking through the clouds, it was now clearly morning. As the sunlight hit his eyes, Kurt sniffled against Blaine's shoulders. Once awaken Kurt listened to the song and slowly began to join in. Their melody creating a haunting effect in the air, it was a beautiful mourning sound. Suddenly they heard a crunching of feet approaching closer to them. Both Blaine and Kurt paused in their song as Blaine hurriedly twisted his body as if to shield Kurt from any upcoming pain. However whatever he was expecting to discover them, it wasn't this land lubber. The creature danced towards them as if still hearing their melody. It had long blonde hair nonsensically plaited with sea shells and feathers, and its clothes were disorganised and messy- an oversized plain white dress and colourful rainbow wellies.
Softly tip toeing even closer towards them as it seemed to finally notice the song had stopped. With its bright blue eyes, though not prettier than Kurt's it darted about, only stopping when it spotted them. With an eagerness and excitement it rushed over and stuck its face uncomfortably close to Blaine's, causing him to squish Kurt closer to Blaine's chest due to nerves. Not noticing their scared reactions the creature began to speak.
'Hello, I'm Brittany would you and your Dolphin be interested in joining my glee club?'
After a loud and long screaming session that resulted in tears for the Brittany creature, who apparently didn't like shouting. The odd group finally calmed down enough to talk. The Creatu-Brittany sat a little further away from the pair, pouting from the upset she had caused. It was her that spoke first.
'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you and your dolphin I just wanted to sing with you. I like to sing do you?'
Frowning Blaine rubbed his hand up and down Kurt's back as he though how to respond to the confusing creature. Was this a ploy or trick of the huge mans? To send in this addled guppy so he would spill the secrets of Atlantis.
'It's alright we forgive you, But my … friend his name is Kurt and his isn't a dolphin.' Blaine politely replied. It would be better to remain on this one's good side until he and Kurt could escape and start somewhere new.
'But he's making all these neat squeaky noises like one!' Brittany dazedly said, just as Kurt made another one. Sighing Blaine hoped he was right to trust this pear-son; after all she hadn't killed them immediately and hadn't asked them for anything except for them to sing. Carefully he moved Kurt to show her a bleeding wound on his soft Blue tail, they had both been badly hurt during the storm, and their swimming away during it had been risky. Blaine had been luckier, only injuring his shoulder which now sported a large bruise. The risk of swimming in the storm to escape together had not been worth it with all the pain Kurt must be in.
Spotting the wound Brittany seem to finally noticed the tight net wrapped around them, and quickly pulled it apart using a sharp rock in her pocket. She was obviously distraught at the pain they were in as she kept cooing repeatedly.
'Don't worry I'm here and I can help you, please don't worry my little dolphins,'
Ignoring her Blaine focused on getting Kurt out of the fishing net, already he could feel his murky green tail tingling a warning of the change that would happen. However with Kurt's injury he doubted that Kurt would be able to change to get legs to walk on. With Kurt and himself free from the awful net Blaine glanced up at Brittany who seemed to re-focus her efforts on tending to Kurt's wound.
'Thank you, err sir, for freeing us.' Blaine softly murmured, as the tingles finally stopped indicating the process of transforming was complete and he went to carry Kurt bridal style in his arms.
'I'm a girl. Please call me Brittany,' she said and she started to stroke Kurt's long tail avoiding the bloody wound, and before Blaine could react she ripped a part of her long dress off.
'What are you doing Brittany?' enquired Blaine taking a step back from her, Kurt squirming in his arms at the sudden movement.
'I'm helping you Kurt needs his booboo to get better, and I always help my friends. Do you think it's stopping his leg spell from transforming? I do, here let me tend to the wound on Kurt's tail. Then you can live with me and sing. I like singing.'
'We're friends?' Blaine felt shocked. Down beneath the waves no one had wanted to be friends with either him or Kurt, and as their relationship had been revealed even more wanted less to do with them. Even their parents felt disgust towards them; it was the reason they had run away to live in the human world. Eyes watering at her honest gesture Blaine tried to respond to show his happiness in him, and Kurt, gaining a friend.
'Thank you for helping us. I don't want to impose but if we could stay until Kurt's injury is healed. I'll appreciate it very much.' Blaine croaked. With a big smile Brittany grabbed on of Kurt's hands and started directing Blaine towards her car.
'I'm glad you're going to stay with me and don't worry I'll teach you everything you need to know in order to survive living in the human world. I'll also introduce you to my friends; we're in a glee club. Oh, and you and your dolphin can join us and we can all sing together. It'll be fun!' Brittany rambled as she led them further away from the beach and their old lives.
