Disclaimer: I don't own Glee. If I did, Blaine would never have kissed Rachel, he would have kissed Kurt.


Bright sunlight filtered through the trees, shining purposely on a hammock nestled between two trees. In that hammock lay a certain creature, a wood nymph to be exact. His skin glowed and stood in contrast with the vibrant green vines wrapping around every part of his body. His breath came in rhythmic successions and soft, pale lips were popped open in a slight 'o'.

Around him, birds chirped gaily.

Blooming flowers decorated the area in which he had rested.

Forest scents mixed with the flowery odor in the air.

All seemed to be at peace.

The dozing wood nymph wasn't even disturbed when a young man appeared from the thicket of trees and neither did the man see the enchanted creature sleeping way up in the branches. The human jumped into the lake as soon as he saw it and the slight noise he made did not even elicit a response from the nymph. After a while, he left, not disturbing the slumber of the magical being resting just a small distance from him.

Time passed as the temperate rays of the sun, which once blanketed the forest, became harsher as it reached its peak. The wood nymph that had lain asleep fidgeted as the temperature around him rose. Within a few minutes, he was already awake and stared at the life teeming around him before looking up at the blazing hot sun. He shielded his eyes as the forest canopy above him grew more leaves until they effectively blocked the light that blinded him. He sighed contentedly. Closing his eyes once more, he let the serenity envelop him in its warm caress.

Until a terrifying, bone-chilling roar erupted all around the forest.

Kurt's eyes snapped open at the savage sound. He fell from his hammock because of surprise and would have smacked onto the ground if it weren't for the vines that encircled his waist and set him onto the ground gently. Silently cursing, he looked around him to find the source of that horrible roar. He didn't have luck as his peripheral vision only covered a small area.

Being a wood nymph surely had its benefits., he thought. It was true. As a forest creature, he was connected to everything that grew out of the ground. It only required him to send his psyche through the roots of trees and this enabled him to 'see' as far as five leagues from where he was standing. Very useful at times like these.

He sat on the grass-covered ground and meditated to harness this ability. Breathe in. Breathe out., he chanted inwardly, Feel everything. See everything. With these thoughts in his mind, Kurt immediately became connected to every root and tree, and he didn't like what he saw.

Further up a trail, about twenty-five miles from him, a young man with a curly mop of black hair lay on his stomach on the ground, bruises decorating his gentle face and blood gushing out in torrents in various parts of his body. Kurt suppressed a sob, lest he break his concentration, and quickly scoured the surrounding areas to find the injured human's attacker. He found the felon immediately and wasn't surprised to find that it was Karofsky. He was sure it was the troll who committed it since its hands were stained with red and so were its tattered clothing.

The nymph ground his teeth in frustration. He needed to teach that creature a lesson. What had possessed it to hurt an innocent human? Kurt huffed and commanded trees to block the troll's path. It had a confused look in its face as trees moved around it, more so when they wrapped around it, doing just what Kurt had ordered. In a blink of an eye, the troll was trapped in the middle of thick trunks. It roared and struggled but couldn't get free.

His payback done, Kurt gathered his psyche back after remembering the exact location of the hurt human and almost flew to reach him in time. No one is going to die on my watch, he thought fiercely. The nymph arrived just in time to see the human still sprawled on the ground, barely breathing. He slowly approached the man, who looked worse and gently touched his cheek. A gasp escaped his pale lips, he was clearly affected by the mortal's current state.

He took a deep breath as he got himself ready for what he must do. Healing was one of a wood nymph's abilities but it called for extreme concentration and dedication and for some reason, Kurt had found himself wanting to do anything just to save this particular human. With that complete resolution implanted in his heart, the wood nymph called forth this ability. He poised his hands just above the injured man as they emitted a pulsating jade light that enveloped the mortal.

What Blaine last saw before passing into the darkness was a beautiful face, more particularly, a wood nymph's. He didn't put anymore thoughts on it when he realized that he couldn't hear his heartbeat anymore. So this is it., he thought, This is the end.

He was about to cease his struggles when a pulsating beat resonated deep within him. It steadily grew stronger and alleviated the numbness that Blaine was experiencing. Slowly, he felt the pain all over his body lessen until it was actually bearable. He heard his labored breaths and even the darkness that blinded him lifted. He opened his eyes to see his savior.

A wood nymph was kneeling beside him. The gorgeous creature was covered in vines that seemed to be colored in pale green. Blaine took in what the nymph looked like and realized that it was male. Why? The vines that snaked around the nymph's body clustered only at his waist downward, leaving his smooth, alabaster white chest exposed. His face was scrunched in complete concentration and a bright green light glowed softly at his hands.

A fresh wave of pain washed over Blaine as the light in the nymph's hands pulsated once. Every injury he had suddenly seemed to throb madly. He screamed in agony and closed his eyes tightly.

Kurt winced as the mortal yelled out in pain. He swallowed back an apology. Healing wasn't easy and he could not restore the man to full health immediately. Wounds like those that the brunette had acquired took at least three days to be fully healed. He would need a lot of rest., the nymph thought as he finished sealing the open wounds and slightly repairing the man's few broken ribs.

He relaxed when the human in front of him calmed down and appeared to have fallen into sleep. Kurt smiled weakly; all of the healing he had done tired him out. At least the mortal looked better already. His bleeding had stopped, the bruises on his face and body gave the impression of being days old and the slight concussion he had received was healed completely. All he would feel when he woke up was a major headache and throbbing all over his body. The cracked ribs, although healed, were still tender and the human would have to be careful in moving around. With the healing finished, the nymph decided to relocate the injured man to a safer place.

The sound of gurgling waters woke Blaine up. His eyes snapped open and he lay on the grass, covered with a soft blanket of leaves. The sky above him had faded into a light blue color and he felt confused as he tried to remember what happened. When he did though, he emitted a low moan as his head pounded madly and pain erupted in various parts of his body.

"Oh, you're awake." a melodious voice said, the speaker situated a few meters from him.

He turned to see who had spoken and stared right into a pair of glasz eyes.


A/N: Wow, this is a sorta boring chapter isn't it? The fluff will ensue in the next one so don't fret and start pelting me with rotten tomatoes. I was planning to end it here buuuut I just couldn't write it all under 2000 words. I try to keep meh chapters above 1000 words but no more than 2000 words. Hehe, I promise you would like the next one anyway. Maybe this fic would be 4-5 chapters after all. Well, just maybe. Leave a review m'kay? I will cut those who don't! Mwahaha!
