Sage chuckled as her boyfriend fell asleep under the tree in a matter of seconds. Poor baby. She doesn't see why he doesn't just live in Leikai. Tell all his human friends he moved to Australia or something, than sneak around and spy on Kurt every day. It wasn't that hard. She'd been doing it for a while.

Sage put that thought aside and stared straight ahead, trying to make some sort of connection to Kurt. When she felt the click, she exhaled and let her head grow heavy, making it tilt backwards right up to the point where she was about to fall out of the tree, than she whispered, "Kurt Hummel."

A slightly shaky branch was the only indication that she'd been there at all.

Sage landed silently on her feet like a cat. She took in her surroundings and quickly realized that she was standing in a hallway in Dalton Academy, about two feet from Kurt Hummel's dorm room. She pressed a small ear against the solid oak door. When she heard only a distant stream of water coming from the shower, she took a step through the door. Sage was pretty damn lucky that this school had decided to use oak for their doors. Dryads are specifically the nymphs of oak trees, so they are able to manipulate the wood and use it for basically whatever they needed.

Sage took a solid look around, and saw only Kurt's roommate, whatshisname, snoring away in his bed. She desperately wanted to slap him or pour water on his head just because he wasn't able to see her. Only Dryads and the Protected had the sight, but the Protected were completely oblivious and thought her nothing more than a pretty little human girl.

Sage tip-toed to the door of the en-suite bathroom, and again pressed an ear against the door. The water was still going strong. She fought with herself whether to go into the bathroom or not. The more logical side of her won over, telling the rest of her body that it would be a little more than slightly creepy if Sage walked into the room where a man was showering. So she settled for sitting and waiting on a small couch in the middle of the dorm room instead. She picked up Kurt's school bag and started looking through it, just for kicks. Boring, boring, boring... what's this? A sly smile crept onto Sage's face as she reached for some papers that were screaming to be looked at. She unfolded the first page and her evil grin dropped immediately.

It was... Blaine. Her Blaine. This little weirdo had been drawing her boyfriend? That's so creepy! She took a peek at the rest of them too and sure enough, they were all Blaine. She shoved them into a pocket of her jeans. These were getting shown to Blaine later.

Sage's sensitive hearing perked up when she heard the water turn off. Everything was dead silent save for whatshisname sawing logs over in the corner. The girl hopped up and over the couch, trying to concentrate on the other sound now available for her listening pleasures.

Someone was humming. Kurt was humming.

No, wait. He was singing.

"...like I'm living a teenage dream..."

Sage actually smiled at this. His voice really was gorgeous. She closed her eyes and just listened.

"...don't ever look back, don't ever look back..."

Just over an hour later, Sage heard the quiet click of a door being opened and thought, "What the hell, was that boy doing in there?"

Sage heard a few light footsteps heading towards whatshisname and then Kurt saying, "David. Wake up. DAVID." This was accompanied by a loud snort and the rustling of sheets signalling that whathisna-David- had finally woken up.

"NO. DON'T. CHEESECAKE. LLAMA? Oh. Hey Kurt."

"David..." Kurt sounded baffled, "what do you dream about?"

David was silent for a moment. "Uh... girls?"

Sage could practically hear Kurt rolling his eyes.

"Whatever. Just get dressed." The footsteps retreated back into the bathroom.

Sage took this as her opportunity to actually get a decent hiding spot. Without making a single sound, she crossed the room, opened the window when David wasn't looking, and dove through it. She flipped once in the air before executing a perfect landing. She was lucky Kurt's room was only on the second floor, or else she would've been screwed.

Sage had had this campus memorized for a few weeks now, so it was easy to get from point A to point B without being seen by Kurt, who was luckily the only Protected at Dalton, or Blaine.

There was plenty of foliage to climb or hide behind, and the buildings were relatively close to one another so Sage dashed to the dining hall no problem.

She waited for a group of boys to enter, and slid in behind them. She was fairly certain Blaine was still asleep back in Leikai, so he wouldn't be a problem, and Kurt had no reason to be suspicious of anything, so he would be easy enough to hide from.

Sage stayed pressed against the wall directly to the right side of the door to the dining hall until she saw a very familiar figure walk through it, by himself, raised up on his toes as he scanned the room. He spotted the other whatshisname, the Asian one, and ran towards him.

Sage unglued herself from the wall, and followed in his footsteps. As long as she stayed directly behind him, he wouldn't see her. Simple logic.

"Hey Wes. Where's Blaine?"

Wes smirked which, in turn, made Sage roll her eyes. She hated that everyone thought Blaine was gay. Her boyfriend. Key word being her.

"Dunno."

"What do you mean you don't know? He's your roommate."

Asian boy shrugged and just continued, "Yeah. But he always leaves during the night."

This time Sage smirked. She loved knowing things nobody else knew. It made her feel powerful.

"Don't worry your pretty little head Kurt. Blainey will be back soon enough. He always is."

Sage gathered that this was the end of the conversation, so she eyed Kurt carefully, watching to see if he'd turn and if she'd have to follow him. He did turn, but only to get food. Sage saw nothing exciting about this so she made a beeline for the door, and stood, bouncing on the balls of her feet, until another boy opened the door so she could escape.

Class time was boring. Sage would sit outside of a window, or in a tree or bush, just waiting. Going inside the actual classroom was way too risky. Especially when Blaine and Kurt were in the same one.

Kurt would probably be scared to see a mysterious girl in an all-boys school who had most likely shown up in his dreams before.

Blaine would probably be confused as to why his girlfriend was in the human world, than he'd most likely assume she was spying, and get pissed at her.

So she sat in a small bush and started to daydream. About Blaine. He was gorgeous. All Dryads were naturally good looking to a point, but Blaine exceeded that point by a lot. His hair was very common to Dryads, but he somehow made it unique. But his eyes... Sage swore that there were no eyes like that on Earth or in any other world. When we get married, we're going to be the best rulers Leikai's ever had.

A slim figure walking straight for her snapped her out of her reverie.

Crap.

When had the bell gone? She ducked her head into the bush, reaching her hand out to the side; she felt the oak tree she'd known was there and quickly squeezed her eyes shut. Not half a second later, she was sitting on a high branch, examining the confused boy below her. He searched behind the bush, even in the bush to Sage's amusement.

Tricking humans was fun.

Kurt eventually gave up and strode back over to the school, glancing behind himself every few seconds to make sure it really was just his eyes playing tricks on him.

Once the large door had clicked shut, Sage dropped to the ground and silently slunk after him.

She followed him through the hallways of Dalton until they eventually came to another classroom. Sage sighed and started looking for somewhere to hide until Kurt actually opened the door.

To her surprise, nobody was inside.

Kurt Hummel breaking the rules? This ought to be good. Sage smirked.

Luckily there was a small square window just low enough for Sage to look through.

It looked like a music room or something close to that. Sage had spied on Warbler rehearsals before, but this wasn't the same room. It had several different types of instruments lining the walls, and in the back corner of the room, was a piano. Kurt slid into the cushioned bench and rested his fingers gently on the keys. Not playing. Just sitting there. Sage watched in curiosity as he finally began to play something. A song she'd never heard; a lullaby maybe. There were no words, but it was mesmerizing.

So mesmerizing, that without knowing it, Sage had walked into the room, closed the door behind herself and started to walk towards Kurt.

The song started to get softer and softer until it came to a close completely and left a very stunned looking Sage in its wake.

Sage finally seemed to realize exactly where she was and cursed inwardly. She started to back up as slowly and stealthily as she could manage and prayed to every deity out there that Kurt wouldn't turn around before she'd managed to escape.

Kurt lowered his hands to his sides, than sighed.

Then he stood.

Sage froze, not daring to breath.

But Kurt just gave another sigh, sounding more troubled this time, and sat back down.

Sage felt the presence of the door not more than 3 feet behind her. She was so close.

It was a pity when Kurt saw the reflection of her hair in the window and whipped around, eyes wide.

"You. Who are you?"

Sage turned and ran, but was pulled to a halt by a commanding voice.

"STOP."

She'd had no idea that Kurt's feminine voice could sound that powerful.

"Who are you?" It was nothing more than a shaky whisper this time, but Sage still felt that she had no choice other than to surrender and later face the consequences with Blaine and her parents for breaking probably the number one Dryad law.

Sage slowed turned around, head down in shame.

"Who are you?" Kurt repeated for the third time.

"I am Sage." She couldn't think of anything else to say that wouldn't accidentally give away an enormous secret.

Kurt just stared at her blankly for another minute before asking, "Why were you in my dream?"

Sage feigned surprise. "I was?"

Kurt exhaled a short breath from his nose, signalling that the shock of seeing Sage had worn off. "I'm not an idiot. Seeing someone in a dream the night before you actually meet them. That is not a coincidence. Now tell me who the hell you are because I'm starting to get really freaked out." Kurt's voice squeaked a bit at the end of the sentence.

"I'm Blaine's friend. I live in South Africa and since my family is here for a few months I thought I'd visit him. I haven't seen him since we were in Middle School together."

"Yeah that's great and all, but what I really want to know is why you were talking to me in my dream last night."

Sage took a big breath and gave it her last try. "I honestly have no idea what you're talking about."

Kurt eyed her for a good minute before grabbing her arm and dragging her out of the room.

"Wha-where are we going?" Sage sputtered.

Without turning his head, Kurt said simply, "I'm taking you to see Blaine.

Sage's eyes grew with horror. "Oh no. No, no, no, that's not necessary. I can find him later. You should get to class."

Sage was pretty positive the world was out to get her because at that exact moment, a loud school bell rang clearly. Kurt smiled to himself. The hallways filled with boys, most of whom were giving Kurt strange glances, but not for the reason he thought.

The two approached the junior commons and came to a halt.

"You'd better hope nobody except Blaine is in this room. Especially any teachers. You'll get kicked out in no time if they see you," Kurt warned.

Despite all that was going on, Sage smiled and shrugged. "Don't think it'll be a problem."

Kurt didn't question this and continued to just push the doors open, pulling Sage in behind him. Blaine was the only one in there for which Sage was glad considering Kurt could possibly be sent to an asylum for talking to an invisible girl.

"Hey Blaine," Kurt announced.

Blaine had no reason to lift his head so he just replied, "Hey Kurt," keeping his nose in his books.

It was only when Blaine heard a much more recognizable female voice greet him that he froze.

"Hello Blaine." Sage voiced her greeting sadly, watching her boyfriend's facial features carefully.

Blaine closed his eyes tightly and barely managed to whisper, "Sage. Please tell me that you are not standing in this room right now. With Kurt." He said the last bit a little more forcefully.

Silence.

"Okay then," was all Blaine could get out and Sage could tell that he was freaked the hell out right now. And rightly so.

"So," Kurt began cheerfully, clapping his hand together, "who wants to tell me what's actually going on?"

More silence.

"No takers? Alright then. I choose Blaine. Go ahead." Kurt took a few steps forward and carefully placed himself down in a large leather chair.

Blaine looked over at Kurt through his long lashes. "This is Sage. She's my friend." Blaine managed to place a miniscule smile onto his face.

"Mmm," Kurt hummed, "So I've heard. She's visiting from Germany, right?"

Blaine looked at Sage who didn't dare move a muscle. "Um... yeah."

Sage closed her eyes in defeat which scared Blaine.

"Was that the wrong answer?"

Kurt just smiled at the boy he loved and hummed again, in confirmation.

"Damn it," Blaine huffed.

"Feel free to start again at any time. I'll get the truth out of you eventually." Kurt just sat back, raising one perfect eyebrow.

Sage finally moved to sit next to Blaine on the couch. She leaned in close to him, which made Kurt squirm uncomfortably, and whispered in his ear, "Tell him I'm your girlfriend, that's all he'll need to know."

Blaine looked at her sadly and whispered back, "It'll break his heart... he's in love with me."

At this Sage sat up straight, eyes wide, and said, louder than she had intended to, "Seriously?"

Blaine let his head fall into his hands.

Kurt looked suspicious. "Seriously what...?"

Sage stood up and walked over to Kurt, voice rising in frustration. "You love him?" she demanded, gesturing to the slumped over boy on the couch.

Kurt blushed furiously and attempted to sink into his chair.

Sage looked him straight in the eye and finished off with, "Blaine Anderson is not gay. He's my boyfriend."

This was around the time when Blaine fell onto his side and covered his face with a pillow.

Also around this time, was when Kurt stood up in fury to come face to face-well more like her face to his shoulder- with Sage.

"What are you talking about? Blaine! What the hell is she talking about?"

Kurt covered the distance between them in two long strides and ripped the pillow from his devastated looking face.

"Kurt," he looked on the verge of tears, "I'm sorry."

Kurt just lifted his chin and gave a harsh laugh. "Of course. Of course you're sorry. Of course you're straight. That isn't actually what I'm all that upset about. I thought you would at least tell me you had a girlfriend! You know what? I'm the one who's sorry Blaine. I'm sorry for wasting your time by spending all my time with you. You clearly must not have cared about me enough to tell me any of this."

With that, Kurt stormed to the door.

"Goodbye Blaine," Kurt snarled and slammed the door with an echoing bang.

The room drowned in silence for what felt like an hour before Blaine finally spoke in a crescendo. "Why in Leikai's name... did you do that? You basically just failed my mission for me! He was my Protected! He can't hate me! That is exactly the opposite of what I was assigned to do!"

Sage had never seen Blaine like this and it scared her. "Blaine... I just thought..."

"Go home Sage. Right. Now." Blaine's voice held a terrifyingly calm tone in it that made Sage flee. She ran out the door, down the hallway until she was outside and still didn't stop.

When she approached the wall to Leikai was when the first tears started to fall.
