Hey Guys,
So just a quickie. First thing I am basing this story in The Night World series by L J Smith (Recommend reading at some point). Second thing is while I am using the Night World as a back drop, I have made some changes to the characteristics of the Night World residents Third this will mostly be outside of Canon however the usual Glee characters will appear at different times. and Finally I do not own Glee or the Night World Series.
I hope you enjoy and feedback is most welcomed and I will reply to all feed back at the end of the next chapter that gets published.

My names Blaine Anderson. I'm 17 years old. I'm an Honour student. I'm Lead soloist of the Warblers. I'm a Straight A's student. I have won awards for fencing, boxing and football. This was all before my senior year. Oh and did I mention Gay! Yes 100% gay. Though you probably wouldn't guess it from the uniform, which hides everyone's individuality but if you checked out my room, you'd think 'maybe' and if you found out some of my interests then 'Yes' that much would be obvious. But that's not really a secret, everyone knows that, and at Dalton nobody cares. What they don't know is that I am Witch.
Now despite what you think you know about witches, I am about to challenge everything you have ever read. The first thing I must point out. A witch doesn't need to be female. It's true I swear. Traditionally a male spell caster was called a wizard but then people realised Wizards are different than witch's. I will tell you the main difference between the two of us, a Wizard (which again can be male or female) doesn't use the power of nature. They use wands, and the power comes from an enchantment and the wand itself. A witch however channels their power from nature, similar to Wiccan though it has more strength and power. You must also be born one, you can't learn this from a book. You can lost witch's however, people who don't discover they are a witch but have vivid visions and dreams they don't always understand. See Nature is made up of four elements; Water, Air, Fire and Earth. Each witch has an element as their main source of power and draws from this element, which is why at times some powers are weaker if your element isn't readily available. A good example of this is that if you are standing in the middle of a room surrounded by fire, it would be very hard for a Witch who has water as their element to draw from nature and use their power, as fire causes water in the surrounding area to evaporate. However if the spell caster has earth as their element they would be able to use it to put out the fire as earth is everywhere and while it burns it can never be completely destroyed, earth like sand can put out a fire. Though if you were already outside and saw the fire, and there was a lake or water source nearby you could manipulate it to put the fire out. We can do any variety of spells but we must have our element available if its to be strong enough. It's quite technical in some ways. You can also combine the elements together if you and the other witch work in harmony. I will go into more detail about all this later but now can you see the difference between a Witch and a Wizard?
The next key point is the I am a descendant of Harmann (A powerful crone who lived years ago who mated with a vampire) my mother isn't a witch, well my adopted mother isn't but apparently my birth mother was. She died when I was very little so I never really got to ask her stuff but she wrote me a letter explaining the basics, the rest I had to find out and learn for myself. My father was a vampire, but he left years ago and I've not heard from him since. I will tell you more about vampires later in my story. See I let people think my parents have an issue with me being gay, but no to be honest they don't care about that at all. I do sometimes wonder if they care about me at all. They have issues with me because I am a witch, a freak. So when people ask why my parents have issues with me, I tell them it's because I'm gay. They don't deny it either, its almost like a truce. See that's another rule, you aren't supposed to tell anyone you are a member of the Night World. It was agreed by the council when I was first taken into care that they were to know, however should they speak of it to anyone, they would automatically have to be killed to keep the secret or imprisoned for eternity. How they find out these things I have no idea, but apparently they can. It also means I can only fall in love with my own kind and only certain elements can live in harmony with each other while others rub each other up the wrong way and don't get along. It's all really technical.
So yeah that's the basics about me. The Night World is a society of vampires, witches, wizards and shape shifters which I belong to. Some are good, some are evil, some are undecided. I like to think I am good. I will tell you more about the circles and covens we belong to later in my story as I think you have taken on quite a bit of new information. Basically we are a small group of people trying to hide in a world that doesn't accept people who are different while some of us are trying to re-claim the world and make it ours again. I will expand on this later in my tale. So yeah like I said we have two rules. Never speak of the Night World and NEVER fall in love with a human.
My thoughts take up so much space in my head, that I feel the need to write them down. I am telling you this now so you understand me and as this is an enchanted journal, no one may read this but me or my soul mate.
