Warning: torture

"Will! Will!"

Blaine ran through the garden, shouting the man's name. He had to talk to him, immediately. As he had woken up, his first thought was to find the man and tell him about what he had seen. He felt his heart beating rapidly in his chest but he didn't care. He had seen Kurt, he had been with him, and he had to tell Will about it. He was sure the man knew what was going on.

"Blaine?"

Blaine stopped and turned around to find Will appearing right beside him.

"We need to talk" Blaine breathed. "I saw Kurt. He's alive!"

"Blaine, calm down" Will said gently. "I don't understand."

"Kurt! I-I was asleep but I wasn't really... demon!" Blaine tried to tell everything in one sentence.

"I still don't understand. Did you see Kurt in your dream?" Will asked in confusion.

"It wasn't really a dream" Blaine answered. "Well, I thought it was. But it wasn't! Kurt was there, the real Kurt! And-and the demon. I fought against her but she took Kurt somewhere. We have to go after them!"

"Are you saying you made a visit into the demon world? In your sleep?" Will asked.

"Yes!" Blaine nodded frantically. "I talked to Kurt! He saw me!"

"How is it possible?" Will asked in confusion.

"I don't know. But we have to go after them. The demon took Kurt with her and I'm not sure she won't hurt him" Blaine said desperately.

"We... we need to talk to the others" Will decided. He turned around to walk back into the building, Blaine following him closely.

Emma, Finn and Elliott were already waiting for them, it seemed like they knew everything Blaine had told Will outside.

"Sam and Puck will be here soon" Emma said quietly. "Sit down. I will make you some tea."

Blaine wanted to protest but the woman disappeared in a blink and when she came back seconds later, she had a mug of hot tea in her hands.

"Drink it" she ordered.

"Thanks" Blaine said and took the mug from her.

"What happened?" Sam asked as he and Puck rushed into the room.

"Blaine traveled into the demon world in his sleep" Finn answered.

"You did what?" Puck asked.

"I met Kurt and the demon in my dream" Blaine answered.

"You mean you had a dream with Kurt?" Sam asked, confused.

"No. Yes. It's complicated" Blaine said.

"No, it's not" Will answered. "It looks like Kurt used his power again. He wanted to see you so badly that he accidentally brought you there."

"You mean it was Kurt?" Blaine asked hopefully.

"Yes" Emma nodded.

"That's-that's great! Then I can make a connection with him again and go to him" Blaine smiled.

"That's not that easy" Will said gently. "If the demon finds out it was Kurt's doing, she can weaken him enough to not be able to use his power."

"It means we have to be quick" Elliott continued.

"What do you mean?" Blaine asked in concern.

"We haven't known about the connection between you and Kurt" Will answered. "But if we can use it, it would be easier to get you into the demon dimension and find Kurt."

"Okay, let's do it" Sam said excitedly.

"Blaine's still not ready for that" Will replied.

"It-it doesn't matter. We need to go..."

Will waved Blaine down.

"There's too much we would risk if we let you go there unprepared" Will said. "You have to stay and continue your training."

"I won't sit here and waste any more time as Kurt's held captive in another dimension!" Blaine shouted, the control over his power slipping out of his fingers, and he turned the whole room into ice in a blink.

"See? You're not ready" Will said.

"Than help me!" Blaine shouted. "I don't need your fucking relaxing techniques, I need to learn how to control and increase my power before it's too late!"

"Blaine, calm down..." Emma said gently.

"No!" Blaine replied angrily. "Show me what I need to learn. Now."

"Blaine, you know it's not that simple..." Will started but stepped back as Blaine threw an ice-knife towards him.

"Then be quick. I have enough of waiting" Blaine growled.

"Dude, they just want to help us..." Puck said gently, but Blaine stopped him with a shield he had formed with his power.

"They want to help themselves. They don't care about me or you or Kurt, they just want to survive this" Blaine replied.

"Well, it's mostly true" Elliott shrugged. "Now what? You still don't know how to find Kurt and you weren't able to learn how to control your power in the last weeks. You can't do anything without our help."

"What Elliott wants to say is that we will do everything to finish your training as soon as possible" Will said as he gave Elliott a pointed look. "You're wrong, we don't only do this because of ourselves. We truly want to help you get Kurt back in one peace."

"Let's go, then" Blaine nodded. "Don't waste any more time. Teach me everything and then let me practice on my own."

"As you wish" Will nodded.

"Puck, Sam, you're coming, too" Blaine motioned towards them and then turned around, leaving the room quickly. His friends' eyes met in concern but they didn't say anything as they followed Blaine outside.

~ o ~

The demon was angry, Kurt could tell. She was back again but didn't say a word, she just kept pacing in front of him, shooting angry glares towards him.

"Don't you enjoy this beautiful day?" he mocked.

"Shut up" Sue growled and flicked her wrist. Kurt found himself unable to open his mouth. "It's all your fault. I know you were dangerous but I didn't realise you could bring him here."

Kurt frowned. He didn't know what Sue was talking about.

"It was your little plan, huh?" the demon continued. "You brought the Chosen here to help you get free and you wanted to escape with him. Well, you failed."

Kurt's eyes widened in realisation. Sue thought that he was the one who had brought Blaine here. But it wasn't true... was it?

"It doesn't really matter" Sue smiled. "I won't let you do it again."

The demon's eyes flashed black and Kurt screamed as he felt unbearable pain running through his body. He closed his eyes and tried to focus on breathing but it was hard as the pain didn't seem to lessen.

And then, it disappeared, just like it came.

Kurt slumped back against the wooden post he was tied to, moaning weakly.

"I think I can manage to keep you from thoughts of your dear fiancé for a while" Sue smiled and flicked her wrist again.

Kurt screamed as a new wave of pain ran through him.

As Will had promised him, he taught Blaine everything he needed to develop his power. They didn't stop for a minute, not for going back to eat anything. Blaine didn't let them. Sam and Puck left a few times to get some rest but mostly they were there, too. Will reminded Blaine carefully that he shouldn't push himself so hard but it was like Blaine hadn't heard him. He didn't feel pain, weariness and hunger anymore, he kept all of his thoughts around Kurt and his intent to free him from the demon world. He couldn't forget the emptiness he had seen in Kurt's eyes and he cursed himself that he hadn't tried to make contact with him earlier. He knew Kurt was special, that the bond between them was special, he should have known Kurt wasn't as far away from him as he thought. But this time, he wouldn't let Kurt down. It was his duty to find him and bring him back from that nightmare and he would do it, even if it costed his own life. Because Kurt was his everything and he wouldn't let anybody destroy him.

"Let's go through this technique again" Will said patiently one night, when they were practicing in the garden.

It was late but the older man didn't seem tired at all. No wonder, Blaine thought, he was dead after all.

"Fine" Blaine said without hesitation and took a step closer to Will. He closed his eyes and lifted his hands in front of him, thinking about a ball.

"Very good, now imagine it growing as you move your hands away from each other. Form a large ball around yourself" Will said.

Blaine did as he was told. He kept out every other thought, he focused every inch of his body on the control of his power. He did well, for a while at least. The ball in his hands grew rapidly, it was the seize of his head, then bigger than a watermelon. But he made a mistake as he thought about what Kurt could feel right then, in what state he was in. It was just a second but it was enough for his power to spiral out of control and before he recognized what was happening, he threw the ball right towards Will. The man sighed and caught it easily, turning it around in his hands.

"You're thinking about him again" Will said and made the ball disappear.

"Can you blame me?" Blaine sighed. "I can't stop thinking about him."

"Right. I guess it's time to tell you about my story" Will said and sat down. "You know I was a Chosen before my death."

Blaine nodded. He had heard it the first time they had met Will.

"Well, what you don't know, I was in the same situation as you now" Will continued.

"What do you mean?" Blaine frowned.

"Emma and I... We just got together that time" Will smiled sadly. "I wanted to ask her to marry me when I got my power."

"What happened?" Blaine asked.

Will sighed and looked down.

"We didn't have a seer that time" he said. "I promised Emma to come back to her as soon as we finish our mission, but the years passed over our heads and before I knew, I grew old. One time, when I had enough, I left my friends to go back and see her. She waited for me all those years long. She had several suitors but she always said 'no'. She believed that I was going back to her. She was right."

Will took a few deep breaths, still not meeting Blaine's eyes.

"We were after a demon that time. I knew I should have been careful but I was in love and forgot about them for that night. It was a mistake" he said.

"They found you" Blaine said quietly.

"Yes" Will nodded. "They caught us in the middle of the night. I wasn't prepared. I wasn't able to... I couldn't save her."

"God, I'm so sorry..." Blaine said.

"It's fine" Will smiled as he looked up to meet Blaine's eyes. "Our love is strong, they couldn't keep us apart. Although it was hard after her death. I was so lost in my grief, I didn't listen to anyone. And it cost the life of the two other Chosens.

I was left alone but there was only one demon left. Hunor, you met him. He was the one who killed Emma. It was a hard and long fight but somehow I was able to send him back where he belonged, but it took a lot out of me. I knew I was going to die and I used all of my strength I had left to make it able for you to get our power if necessary and to create a new one, a seer's. I didn't want you to have the same fate as we had. I still don't want to."

"How could you... live without her? How could you do it when your heart broke into million pieces?" Blaine asked quietly.

"I know it wasn't the end for us" Will answered. "It was another world, Blaine. We believed in gods and other creatures, and we believed in the otherworld. I knew I would meet her again but I understood that I had a mission I had to complete first. And I was right. When I died, she was waiting for me."

"I know what I should do" Blaine admitted as a warm feeling ran through him. "I can feel it here inside. Is it weird?"

"Not at all" Will smiled. "We're special, Blaine. If you have a feeling about what you should do, just do it."

"Okay" Blaine nodded. "I think I can manage it from here alone. Thank you."

"If you need help, just call out my name. I will here it."

Will stood up and turned to leave, to let Blaine discover his own power alone. He had taught him everything that Blaine needed, it was time to let him practice.

"Wait!"

Will turned back around with a raised eyebrow.

"Which one was your power?" Blaine asked.

Will smiled and waved with his hand, creating a small rose bush beside Blaine – out of ice.

~ o ~

Kurt was sure that Sue decided to kill him. He didn't know why when the demon had told him that she needed him, but all the torture he had been through in the last... Hours? Days? It all proved that Sue didn't need him anymore. After her first attacks, he had blacked out soon. When he woke up, he hoped that Sue would leave him alone but sadly, he was wrong. Sue came back just as his vision cleared out enough to see the room around him, with a long knife in her hands.

"Finally! You blacked out for a while" the demon said.

"What do you want?" Kurt asked, his eyes glued on the knife in the demon's hand.

"Oh, this is my favourite weapon" Sue said. "It's a magical knife and has a fantastic feature. Do you want to know what it is?"

Kurt shook his head violently. He just wanted that knife to disappear and Sue to leave him alone. He didn't know what the demon had planned for him but it couldn't be good.

"Let's try out. Shall we?"

Kurt opened his mouth to protest but Sue didn't give him enough time. She raised the knife in her hand and stabbed it right into Kurt's chest.

The man moaned in pain and his eyes widened in fear. He was right, Sue wanted to kill him and she didn't hesitate too long. He expected a long torture, not as simple death like this.

Like Blaine's...

He closed his eyes and tried not to cry as memories of Blaine's death came into his mind. He remembered every single detail, they haunted him too often in his nightmares, even after Blaine had come back. And now here he was, ready to die the same way as his fiancé... God, he couldn't die like this... He couldn't leave Blaine...

Sue grabbed the knife and pulled it out of Kurt's chest with one quick motion. Kurt looked down, preparing himself for the blood...

But there was nothing.

"Interesting, isn't it?" Sue asked.

"What? But..." Kurt looked up with wide eyes.

"I told you, I need you alive. I'm not that stupid to kill you now when I'm so close to my plans to come true" Sue said.

"How is it possible?" Kurt asked quietly.

"Magic" Sue answered and stabbed him again.

This time, Kurt tried to shut out the pain. He knew it would pass soon, he just had to survive it. He imagined himself being home with Blaine, who held him in his arms. He almost smiled at the thought. He couldn't wait to see Blaine again.

As if knowing of what Kurt was thinking, Sue pressed her lips together in anger and turned the knife around in his chest. Kurt's eyes snapped open in pain and he gave a gurgling sound.

"I won't kill you but it doesn't mean I can't have some fun with you" Sue said and pulled out the knife, only to stab Kurt again, this time on his stomach.

Something was wrong. The pain didn't seem to lessen, not at all. Although there were no wounds on him, Kurt could still feel the sharp pain where Sue had stabbed him.

"Bl-Blaine" he whispered.

"He isn't here. He can't save you" Sue said cruelly, running the knife through Kurt's chest again.

This time, he wasn't lucky to black out soon enough. He had to go through that torture over and over still he couldn't see and feel anything else but pain. Pain, that made his vision go white, pain, that made him unable to imagine Blaine's face anymore.

But then, finally, his vision went black and he didn't feel pain anymore.

~ o ~

Blaine was lost in his thoughts again. He didn't know how long he had been out there but it didn't matter. Because he finally understood what he had to do to control his power.

Will was wrong. He had tried to get Blaine to forget about Kurt during the training but as they had been sitting there, talking about the past, Blaine understood what they had done wrong. He didn't have to suppress his feelings for Kurt, not at all. He needed them to break through his bondaries.

He closed his eyes and raised his hands slowly as he let his mind fill with the images of Kurt. Kurt smiling at him over their breakfast, Kurt dancing in the park, Kurt moaning in pleasure as they made love in the living room...

Blaine's eyes snapped open as an unexpected wave of power ran through his body. He could feel it in every bit of his body, running through his skin and his bones, spiraling around his arms and legs. He looked down at himself and smiled as he raised his hands in front of him. They were glowing and Blaine knew he needed to do something with them because he was overflown by his power and had to use it. He motioned towards a tree and moved his hands slowly as he formed a gilded fence around it.

"This is amazing" he whispered.

He wondered what Kurt would think about it and he came up with a new idea. Kurt loved flowers and he would surely love a flower garden full of ice-flowers. He took a step forward and formed several flowers beside the fence, roses, lilies, all of Kurt's favourite flowers. But it wasn't enough. He made armchairs, an antique looking table, all of these in the middle of a building that was similar to Elsa's castle in 'Frozen', their favourite movie.

"You would love it" Blaine said, thinking about Kurt's smile.

"What's going on here?"

Blaine trned around to see Will, Sam and Puck coming up to him, looking at his work with wide eyes.

"You were wrong, Will" Blaine answered. "I don't have to suppress my feelings. I have to let them control me."

He smiled as Will looked at him in astonishment.

"I think we're ready for the demon world" Blaine continued. "Show us how we can go there."

With a last wave towards his work, he made sure it wouldn't fall apart until they come back with Kurt. Because he knew he would have Kurt with him and have the opportunity to show him this beauty.
