It had been approximately 2 months, 1 week, and 10 days since Blaine had lost Kurt. In his mind that was absolutely too long. He missed Kurt terribly and was pretty sure he would never see him again.
After he and Mike had found Tina and Kurt up in the tower, Blaine had hoped that things would be okay; that he and Kurt would be able to leave once more, only this time in search of the Witch instead of a search to return Kurt home. Together they would defeat the evil Witch and then afterward…well, if they could somehow manage to get Kurt back to Earth then he supposed that's what they would have done.
Kurt was gone now though. He had vanished right in front of them and Blaine was fairly certain that somehow Kurt had managed to return home. Without the key or the two old brothers, Blaine was sure Kurt could no longer return to whatever universe he, himself, came from.
None of it made any sense. How could those two brothers – Wilhem and Jakob – have the ability to create an entire universe, made up of who knows how many worlds, and keep track of them all? They had to be powerful for sure. Well, were anyway. Wilhem was dead now and Jakob was missing, who knew if he was alive or not.
It was strange to think that, if it had not been for those two, Blaine never would have existed. Nothing around him would have existed. The brothers were practically the gods of Blaine's entire universe.
And now Kurt was no longer a part of it. He was home, on Earth, where he belonged, along with some other Blaine who apparently looked just like Blaine did himself. Well, a younger him anyway. That was something else he had taken a while to fully come to terms with – that there were other versions of his self out there.
The thought of Kurt, his Kurt, spending time with another guy even one that might look just like he did, made him jealous; what if Kurt forgot about him?
The loss of Kurt was not the only problem Blaine had to deal with though. He had been sent to Mike and Tina's world by the Witch, so he had no way of jumping worlds now. After he had somewhat managed to recover from grieving over Kurt's disappearance, Mike had given him a horse to help him continue his travels. Having no idea where to go, Blaine had thanked him and then just left, heading in any direction he felt seemed promising.
Things had definitely changed since the Witch had achieved the power to take over everything. Blaine was not entirely sure how this current world he was in was supposed to be like, but the poor little girl he had met the other day – her name had been Brittany and she had definitely stuck out amongst the fields all dressed in red – had been extremely upset over the fact that she could not find her grandmother's house. She had explained that she had been scared of the wolf that was supposed to wander the woods – apparently the wolf did not like pie so he ate people who made it or something, Blaine had not entirely understood the girl because she was a little odd - so she had been sticking to the path, but then she thought she had heard the wolf up ahead and ran off into the trees. After doing so, she said the ground had started shaking weirdly and she had tumbled down a hill. When she finally got up and looked back the woods had disappeared and all she could see was fields.
Blaine had offered to help her try and find her grandmother's house, but the girl had been too upset and was still worried the wolf would eat her since she had made a pie. Brittany had ended up running off and Blaine had been left to wonder if she might have accidentally ended up in the world he was in by mistake. The Witch might have already started combining worlds. If so, then he really needed to get a start on finding that other brother – Jakob.
Kurt might be gone, but someone still had to do something about the Witch, right?
