A World of Nightmares


When the New Directions take a faulty bus to Regionals, it crashes and they're sucked into a world where their nightmares become reality. One by one, they start to succumb to their worst fears. Can any of them bring reality back to the surface or will the nightmarish world envelop them. Season 2 AU.

This story is completely inspired by an episode of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, episode 1x10- Nightmares in which the same thing happens, but for a different reason. There is no other connection with the show other than the basis for the plot.

Okay so these are the things that are different from canon:

-Kurt and Sam are together…duh.

-Lauren hasn't joined Glee Club.

-Kurt never went to spy on the Warblers and never met Blaine and also never transferred.

-Santana and Brittany are already together

-Finn and Rachel didn't break up

-Puck never went to juvie and is with Quinn.

-Tina and Artie are still together

-Mike is in a long distance relationship with Matt

-Kurt and Mercedes are distant, and his best friends are Quinn, Santana, Brittany and Tina

Chapter 1- The Worst Bus Journey Ever


Optimism was fresh in the air as the twelve high-spirited Glee Club members sat patiently on the bus to Regionals. It was their second Regionals competition and they were determined to make it better than the first where they lost, although they did suspect some biased voting on behalf of the judges. Will was adamant that Sue messed them up as predicted, but Kurt and Quinn got a strange vibe from Olivia Newton-John. Sophomore year aside, the dozen were practising their harmonies as the bus jerkily carried them to their destination. It was being held in the same arena as the previous one, so the New Directions were focusing on not replaying their last defeat in the same place. With a couple of great original songs under their belt, they were completely determined to beat the Warblers. Kurt had scouted out the competition online and had listened to their lead singer, Blaine Anderson on YouTube. The kid was good, but they were better. Santana had pointed out that their performances were composed of just Blaine singing with the rest doing backups. After a snide comment about how Blaine was the male Rachel with slightly less testosterone, she informed everybody that her Mexican third eye was giving her good vibes about them winning Regionals.

After belting out an impromptu rendition of 'It's All Over' from Dreamgirls, Kurt began to feel uneasy. Ever since he was nine, he had begun to experience weird feelings when something bad was going to happen. The problem was, though, that nobody would ever believe him. He had had such a feeling before Karofsky had kissed him, but he had still charged after him anyway. Weeks of Mercedes telling him to fight back and culminated in the sexual harassment. Mercedes had been pulling away from him for a while, but barely had other friends so she could actually leave. Kurt had had enough, but was hesitant to let her know that he knew what she was up to. He hadn't told her about the kiss as he knew for a fact that she would make it all about her and her guilt. He didn't need that from her. He had confided in Brittany, who showed her devious side and plotted to kill him. Kurt had told her not to tell Santana, somebody she told everything to even before they started dating. Kurt thought that they were extremely cute and would be so jealous if he didn't also have a boyfriend.

Sam Evans.

Sam entered Kurt's life exactly when he needed him. When most of his friends were involved with people (mostly from The Glee Club actually which was odd) and he felt at his most lonely. Sam was beautiful, charming, romantic and most importantly, he was gay. Kurt had never met another gay guy before, so it was truly fortunate when he felt such a deep connection with him. Kurt had finally got to do what he had been missing out on. He and Sam went on dates, had long phone calls and told each other everything about them. Almost everybody commented on how cute they were together and Kurt couldn't help but agree. He felt at ease with Sam most of the time.

This time was an exception. The creaks of the bus frightened him, especially since he was experiencing a feeling. He had told Sam about his feelings and Sam vowed to believe him no matter what the situation was. So when Sam saw the sickly, nervous expression on Kurt's usually serene face, he paled.

"Kurt? Are you…?" Kurt just nodded, unable to speak.

"Oh my God. We have to get everyone off the bus. Now." Sam said firmly.

Kurt nodded again, weakly this time. Sam stood up.

"Stop the bus!" Sam yelled from the backseat. Everyone turned to him, confusion lighting their eyes. Puck removed his arm from around Quinn's shoulders and frowned.

"Evans, what are you talking about?"

The bus driver had turned around, to Sam's irritation.

"Hey, turn the hell around and concentrate on the road, jerk!" Sam shouted at the man, who shrugged and turned around to continue driving. Will walked over to Sam.

"Sam, just calm down. What's wrong?"

Sam lowered his voice. "Mr Schue, something's wrong with the bus. It's going to crash. I know it sounds like a Final Destination type thing but it's not, we swear. Mr Schue, please."

"Sam, everything's going to be fine. I'm sure it's just nerves acting on your brain and making you panic about everything."

"Mr Schue…"

"No, Sam."

"But…"

BAM.


Author's Note: Welcome to this short, very brief insight into my newest story. The summary says it all and this was an idea that wouldn't leave. I know I should be concentrating on my ongoing stories rather than starting new ones, but I had to pen this idea down before it left because I have a direction for it and it has potential to be something good, I think. So review, guys!
