Chapter Seven: The Story of the Dalton Academy Warblers
Kurt smiled, watching Sam tuck Stevie and Stacey into the double bed, through the crack of the door. The blonde was humming quietly under his breath as he kissed them both on the forehead as they slept peacefully, clean from their baths and newly fed. His mother had used to do that too, Kurt would pretend to be asleep so he could hear her soft humming and feel the even softer kiss. The memory made his heart ache deep in his chest.
' Kurt'
He didn't need to look to see who it was, turning on his heel and stalking off the other way down the corridor. He heard footsteps running after him.
' Kurt, wait!'
' Not now Finn' he snapped, pushing open the door to his own bedroom and shutting it before his half-brother could follow, whirling round when the taller vampire simply came tearing in anyway. ' Get OUT of my room!'
' Not until you tell me who the hell that guy was, and what those marks are on your neck!'
Kurt growled in anger, tearing off his blood stained shirt and fumbling in his wardrobe for a replacement, tossing the ruined shirt in the direction of his laundry hamper. He could feel his brother's eyes boring into his back and he sighed.
' You know what the marks are Finn' he said, his voice dark, staring down at the shirt in his hands.
' Yeah, but I don't want to believe it' Finn muttered, just loud enough that he knew the smaller boy would hear him. ' You're the heir Kurt, how could you be so…'
' Don't say it!' Kurt snarled, spinning round again and glaring at him, his eyes red. ' Do not say it's stupid! You know just as well as I do that Bonding cannot be controlled, you know how hard it is to resist it, so do not look down on me and call me stupid for something I had absolutely no control over!'
Finn stared at him, looking at least a little bit guilty. ' Why haven't you told Burt? Why didn't you ask his permission first?'
Kurt turned away, tugging on the shirt still in his hands and smoothing down his already immaculate hair. ' I haven't decided how to tell him yet…and it happened very fast' Finn pulled a face. ' And I know you just pulled a face, I didn't do that when you chose Rachel'
' Dude, you wouldn't shut up about how annoying you thought she was!'
' That was different! Your girlfriend never shuts up!'
Finn grinned, moving over to the bed and sitting down without being invited, an action that made Kurt scowl but he ignored it for now, closing his wardrobe and crossing the room to sit beside his brother, neither of them looking at each other. They didn't speak for several minutes, both leaning their elbows on their knees and wondering what to say.
' I wish my mum was here' Kurt finally sighed, the confession slipping out before he had a chance to stop it. ' She would know what to do and how to tell dad'
' Yeah but I probably wouldn't be here' Finn pointed out. Kurt smirked.
' Exactly'
' Oh that's mean' Kurt giggled softly. ' I have to tell Burt you know?'
Kurt sighed heavily, glancing at him from the corner of his eye. ' Anyway I can persuade you not to? We're brothers, however much we fight and hate each other's Bond partners, surely that counts for something right?'
Finn nodded, looking over at him. ' I want to meet him. I want to know everything about him and who that guy who attacked you and drank your blood was'
' Why?'
' I need to kill him for hurting you…that's what brothers do'
' What about Rachel?'
' I'll talk to her, but you have to promise to tell him soon, okay?' Finn said, fixing him with a stern look that made Kurt involuntarily smile. Finn really couldn't pull off stern and serious very well. He nodded anyway.
' I promise' he agreed, standing up and collecting his travel cloak from his desk chair, sliding it over his shoulders and heading for the window.
' Where are you going?'
' To see Blaine, stop by tomorrow morning with Puck if you want to meet him, and tell dad I'm staying in my room all night and don't want to be disturbed' Kurt told him, opening the window and stepping onto the sill, looking back at his brother and smiling. ' Look after Sam yeah? Make sure he gets plenty of blood and sleep' Finn nodded.
' Okay, just…just be careful. Call me if you need me?'
Kurt nodded, giving his kind brother one last smile before slipping up his hood and leaping from the window, landing on the grass far below, his travel cloak billowing around him as he fell into a crouch, his bright eyes flashed in the dark as he took off into the night.
' This is dangerous'
' It's worse than dangerous! It's like a lethal injection straight into each of our veins!'
' Do not be so dramatic James' Wes sighed. ' If we start to panic then we might as well sit and wait from them to show up and do exactly that! Everyone sit down! Now! Start to panic and we've already lost, and we are not losing again!'
The Warblers all returned to their seats around the living, the new window covered by the thick curtains and the fire roaring again. Blaine was not there yet, changing his clothes that had been stained by Kurt's blood apparently, but not before he had explained exactly what had happened, and who had happened. A story that had chilled them all to the bone.
' If he's sent both Azimio and Karofsky now, that means he's going to start sending out the bigger guns' David told them all. It wasn't new information to any of them but it made the tall boy feel better, half listening to the movement of one of his closest friends upstairs, moving around his room. ' And by bigger guns we all know who he's going to send, so we need to be prepared for them, starting with Azimio and Karofsky. I find it hard to believe that they've been sent all the way here to try just once…'
' Try what though?' Sebastian spoke up. ' They haven't tried anything against us yet! Only this Kurt guy that Blaine is hung up on. Maybe they're not after us? Maybe they're after him!' he exclaimed, flailing his arm out wildly. Jeff glared at him from across the room.
' No not suggest it Sebastian, try it and I'll rip your head off myself' he growled, dropping his gaze when Nick grabbed his hand. Sebastian threw up his hands defensively, looking affronted. ' We are not giving up Kurt!'
' I'm just saying, perhaps it would help get them off our backs!'
' You're just sour coz Blaine's Bonded with someone other than you Sebastian' the blonde snapped, shaking off Nick and standing, going to the window and peering out through the curtains, the moonlight hitting his pale face and light hair gracefully.
' You seem to be awfully keen on this Kurt guy Jeffrey?' Thad spoke up, raising an eyebrow at the other vampire.
Jeffrey Starling breathed a sigh, stroking his fingers against the soft velvet of the curtains, still watching the gardens outside. ' I sense good in him, good I have not seen before, and something else, something pure about him…'
Wes snorted. ' That's certainly not true, if they already officially Bonded…'
Jeff glared at him, his blue eyes flashing red. ' Not that kind of pure, idiot, the kind of pure that comes from the heart, from the soul. He has great power, but not the smugness that such power brings. It's refreshing after spending so much time with others' he told them, grinning cheekily as he glanced over at Wes, who pulled a face at him. ' I feel a connection to Kurt, the same connection I feel to you Wesley, and all the other gifted ones that we have met'
' Exactly why we cannot just hand Kurt to him on a silver platter'
They all looked round as Blaine walked in, dressed in a loose white shirt, old fashioned and from another time of their lives, with tight black jeans, his hair curly and wet from his recent shower, his eyes tinged with red from what he had overheard, Sebastian shrinking back into the darker shadows of the room at the sight of them. Blaine moved right over to where Flint had already prepared a flask of whiskey and o negative blood, pouring himself a tumbler, swilling it in the glass as he wandered over to the fireplace, ever silently.
' Karofsky has taken something from me' he growled. ' He has taken Kurt's blood without his or my permission and that cannot stand. However he informed me of something during our brief encounter…he is trying to collect Kurt…just like he wants to collect you Wes and you Jeff, and sent Karofsky to take him by force. He won't try that next time. He'll be more clever, more crafty, and I know past has shown that Karofsky is not the brightest crayon in he box, but we were all trained by the same person and that worries me'
' What do you propose we do then?' Trent asked. ' I'm happy to run'
Cameron groaned. ' We can't run again! I'm tired of running!'
' We all are but it's not cowardice to run if it's that or die' his brother, Richard, reminded him.
Blaine nodded. ' True, but this time…all the other times I had wanted to run, now however it seems pointless'
' You mean since you can't leave without your new love' Nick grinned, standing and going to the window to wrap an arm around Jeff's shoulders from behind. Jeff let the curtain fall back into place, his eyes closing. Blaine shook his head, drinking his blood and whiskey and chuckling.
' There is that, but…we can't run forever boys'
Jeff suddenly moved away from Nick and the window, striding past the rest of them and towards the door, looking over his shoulder as he pulled it open, smiling at Blaine, his blue eyes shifting from cloudy to clear. The signs were clear to all of them.
' Somebody has come to visit'
It had taken a shorter time than before for Kurt to reach the strange Dalton house on the hill, glad that it wasn't raining this time, his hood still covering his hair and shadowing his face as he knocked on the door, waiting barely a second before it was pulled open by the same blonde as last time, smiling brightly.
' Hi Kurt! How are you feeling?' he exclaimed, gesturing him inside. Kurt smiled back, nodding his thanks.
' I am well, how are you Jeff?'
' Good, good, Blaine's filled us in on what happened' Jeff told him, closing the door behind him and watching as Kurt dropped his hood, the new puncture marks clear on the side of his neck, still staining slightly with blood. He'd obviously left his home before having a shower. Jeff could smell the blood on him. ' I apologise, I should have sensed Karofsky's presence sooner…'
' No, no, think nothing of it, it was my fault, I should have smelt him before he got that close' Kurt insisted, squeezing the other vampire's shoulder affectionately. Jeff nodded, though he didn't look convinced.
' How are the newborns you found?' he asked as he moved them closer to the doors of the living room.
' They are well, fed and now sleeping, I've been put in charge of them, but I thought whilst they were asleep I would come visit Blaine' Kurt explained, smiling as they entered the living room and he was quickly met with the sight of many welcoming faces. ' Evening gentlemen'
At the sight of him, Blaine shot across the room, pulling Kurt into his arms and burying his face in his neck, holding him tight for a long moment, taking a few deep breaths before pulling away and cupping Kurt's face between his hands, drawing him in for a chaste kiss. Kurt smiled at him.
' Hello to you too'
' Your brother dragged you away too quickly' Blaine grumbled, tugging him into the room. Kurt rolled his eyes, removing his travel cloak and placing it in Jeff's outstretched hands, the blonde vampire darting out the room to hang it up before reappearing again. Kurt looked around at the other Warblers.
' Apologies for my late and sudden appearance, but I think you all have some explaining to do, don't you boys?' he told them all, quirking an eyebrow.
' We do come from New York, and we did leave it a few months ago. Everything we told you already was true. We didn't lie, we just didn't tell you the full story. There were originally many more of us, and we all belonged to a school of sorts for vampire purebloods. The Dalton Academy Warblers. Students of pure blood learning to become stronger. Like a proper human school. There were sixty-six of us in all but…but not any more.
We were part of a larger coven, ruled by an immortal obsessed with power and getting more vampires…strong vampires. Before he left, he had almost two hundred individual vampires in his control. For years we lived under his control. He liked us, we're all purebloods so why wouldn't he? We are genetically strong and pure, but he was constantly looking for ways to make his coven stronger, sending his vampires off to track down individuals he had heard about, or even stealing away vampires for other covens, as long as he got more power, he didn't care. There aren't as many purebloods as they have been in the past, so he stopped trying to collect pureblood lines a century ago, now he has a new obsession. He likes to collect vampires…gifted vampires.
He began so obsessed he forgot about recruiting vampires to join his coven, just sending people to take them. He sent us a few times, we tried to do it nicely, but…others…others we saw would arrive with beaten up and bloodied gifted vampires. It was disturbing.
Eventually though he…he realised that our part of his coven was getting too big. Only a few of us had gifts, and around two dozen of us only had pureblood ancestors, part of a pureblood line, but tainted by a drop of human blood. He didn't like it. He began to fear that we were getting too strong; he started to get paranoid that we would try to mutineer against him. So he began the Purge.
We call it the Purge but it was more like an annihilation. He and his personal army came to our building at dawn, when we were all resting, just before a night of hunting so we weren't at our strongest. It happened so fast we barely got out. We only found out later what had happened. He…he killed them all. All forty-eight of them. Just…destroyed them. Pulled them apart and set the building alight. They never stood a chance. He left us though. Left us all because we showed the most potential, or because some of us were gifted. We tried to help them but…
We left that same night. We couldn't stay. Not there. Sooner or later he'd get bored of us too. We had to get out of there. So we hunted then we left and we've been running ever since. We started off in Canada but had to keep moving about so we went along most of the northern states, staying away from New York and the east. Went to Texas and some of the warmer states but the sun and heat was uncomfortable so we went to the colder states, and now we're finally back in Ohio, where the Dalton Academy Warblers began.
Those two vampires you've had run in's with. Azimio Adams and Dave Karofsky. Stooges for him. They're his big guns, he sends them out first, then sends the even bigger guns out. Karofsky…he's gifted has super strength and one of his favourites. Azimio, he's just good at tracking people down.
What Karofsky said, about someone wanting to collect you. The king…the king wants to collect you and he won't stop until he does. He sent the two of them after you and they'll keep coming after you. As for us, if Karofsky and Azimio know we're here then so does he, that's for certain. He'll have sent some of his closest vampires to bring us back'
Kurt gnawed on his bottom lip hard, feeling his sharp teeth break the skin a little and his own blood dap against his tongue. He watched Blaine closely, not sure what to say, his hand already holding Blaine's tightly. The Warblers looked deflated from reliving their recent history, sitting around where Blaine and Kurt sat, blood and whiskey glasses in hand, sipping them quickly.
' So we're all in danger?' he finally asked.
' From what Karofsky said back in that house…' Blaine began, eyeing the marks on his love's neck that were not there because of he. They were healing, but Blaine still didn't like it, every glance at them causing anger to pulse through him. ' Yes, yes, we're all in danger'
Kurt nodded, squeezing his hand. ' Maybe…maybe you should come back with me?'
' What?'
' All of you, come back to my father's estate, we can protect you there…'
' No' Wes replied before anyone else could. ' No, we are not putting anyone else in danger. You have children in your coven, pureblood or not, that's more important' he told him snappishly. Kurt hung his head.
' My coven…they'll need to find out about Blaine eventually…why not use that and get some protection out of it. You can join my coven. We can help you, hide you, and if needed we'll protect you' he told them all quietly, knowing that they could all hear him. Blaine stiffened beside him, surprised by how meek Kurt seemed, sat there in his designer clothing, his hair not as perfectly styled as usual, the two sets of puncture marks standing out on each side of his creamy neck. ' This…Karofsky person…he drank my blood…you all know what that means. It means he can track me more easily, find me quicker' he looked up at Blaine, who was stunned by the intensity in those blue eyes he'd fallen for. ' You want to protect me?'
' With every part of my immortal life' Blaine replied, clutching his hand tighter.
Kurt smiled. ' Then surely you can protect me better by joining my coven?'
Blaine faltered, looking at the other Warblers, who were watching and listening intently, looking appreciative at Kurt's logic. David even had a smirk on his face. Kurt was right of course. Blaine could protect him more easily if they lived upon the same estate, that was certain, though he wasn't sure how long he would last there once Kurt's father found out about their Bonding. The idea was certainly tempting, and looking at the face of every member of his small coven, Blaine almost caved and gave in, but no…Wes was right. Nobody else should be dragged in their problems. People were coming for them, that much was certain, and he dreaded who he sent to drag Blaine and his friends back. Back to where they lived in fear. If they took him, then there was no telling how quickly Karofsky would capture Kurt for the king's collection. And Blaine refused to have that happen.
He shook his head, refusing to look at Kurt, who pulled his hand away from Blaine's, standing and walking swiftly from the room, leaving Blaine confused and most of the other Warblers chuckling.
' Oh you are in so much trouble' Cameron teased.
Blaine scowled, flipping them all off and following his love from the room, ignoring Sebastian's annoyed look from where he stood by the door. He followed Kurt's scent all the way upstairs to his bedroom, where found the boy sitting in the middle of his double bed, obviously waiting for him.
' Baby…' Blaine sighed, shutting his door behind him and crossing the room to crawl onto the bed beside him, pulling the slender boy into his arms. ' I don't want to put you in more danger than you already are, it would be wrong of me'
' I know that…I know that you're worried about me' Kurt told him, pulling away from the embrace, staying where Blaine had pulled him into his lap and looking at him with pleading eyes. ' But I can take care of myself Blaine, I'm not some frightened little bird that needs protecting all the time'
Blaine grinned, pressing a quick kiss to Kurt's lips. ' I know baby, I know, I just…this is bigger than you can even comprehend'
Kurt rolled his eyes, cupping Blaine's face in his hands. ' So help me to understand?'
Again, Blaine almost gave in, and again he fought it, shaking his head and making Kurt scowl. From just their two brief exchanges, Blaine could tell that Kurt wasn't used to being told "no". He kissed his scowl, nuzzling his nose against his cheek, smiling when Kurt giggled.
' Not yet' he murmured against his skin. ' I will explain everything else…soon, but not yet, not now. I'd prefer to spend our time together concentrating on you' he smirked, relishing in the shiver than ran through Kurt as his hand slipped beneath his shirt, stroking across the soft skin there. Kurt shifted in his lap, sliding a leg round so he straddled Blaine's lap, pulling him into a deep kiss, giggling when Blaine fell back onto the bed, holding him closer.
Blaine flipped them over, pressing Kurt into the mattress and sliding his tongue into his mouth when the slender boy gasped. Kurt moaned, as their bodies were pressed flush together, wrapping his legs around Blaine's waist. They hadn't had sex since that first night, choosing to take the last time they were together in Blaine's bedroom to get to know each other, and Kurt's body hummed, tightening his legs around his love's waist, their groins grinding together, trying to get him even closer as Blaine explored his mouth, his large calloused hand disappearing beneath his shirt again, pushing it up his smooth chest.
' Hm…Blaine…' Kurt moaned, pulling away from kiss, nimble fingers tangled in his curly hair so he couldn't go very far. ' Will…will your friends mind if…if we…?'
Blaine shook his head. ' Jeff and Nick have sex all the time. The guys never mind…and if they do, fuck 'em' he chuckled, ducking his head and kissing down Kurt's neck, sucking at the spot where his own fags had penetrated his skin. Kurt moaned loudly, throwing his head back and bucking his hips up into Blaine's, making him groan against his neck.
' Oh God…can't you just fuck me instead?'
Blaine's head shot up at Kurt's moan, looking down at the boy beneath him, both their eyes black with lust. With a strong hand, Blaine stroked a hand down Kurt's cheek.
' Why are you so beautiful? It's very distracting' he whispered huskily. Kurt growled, rolling them over again suddenly so he was on top, grinding his hips down into Blaine's and nipping at his bottom lip.
' I'll show you distracting' he murmured against his lips, kissing down his jaw and neck as his slender fingers unbuttoned his shirt, pushing it aside and kissing down his chest, grinning at the way Blaine's hand clutched at the sheets desperately as he swiped his tongue along the skin just above his waistband, fingers undoing his jeans, tugging at them until they were down to his ankles and Blaine kicked them off.
' Oh my gosh…Kurt, just do something' he groaned. Kurt giggled, mouthing at his hardening cock through his boxers, before pulling them down and quickly covering his erection with his mouth, engulfing it in hot, wet pleasure that caused Blaine to buck his hips up, his hand jumping down to grip Kurt's hair. ' Oh holy crap!'
Kurt bobbed his head up and down, swirling his tongue over the head and sucking hard. Blaine only let him carry on for a few minutes, clutching at his hair and jerking his hips, Kurt not seeming to care as his lover thrust his cock further into his mouth, hitting the back of his throat. He only hummed, making Blaine jerk up wildly and tug harder at his once styled hair. Finally, he pulled Kurt off of him, cock rock hard and almost letting go, and coming there and then when Kurt licked at the head, looking up at him with wide, innocent eyes.
' Babe, I need to fuck you now, otherwise I'm going to come in your mouth, and we don't want that' he gasped. Kurt sat up, shrugging cheekily.
' I dunno, I don't think I'd mind too much' he said with a wink. Blaine growled, scrambling up and practically tackling Kurt to the bed, pining him to the bed and quickly ridding him of his clothing, throwing them over his shoulder and kissing him deeply before pressing two fingers to his lips. Kurt quickly took the digits in his mouth, sucking them just like he'd sucked his cock, whimpering when Blaine pulled his hand away, gasping when the same hand dropped to between his legs, a finger sliding quickly into him, pumping in and out. ' Desperate are we Blaine…ah!'
Blaine grinned, pressing a second finger into him and quickly stretching him out. His eyes fell on the puncture marks left by Karofsky. He growled, startlingly Kurt, who looked up at him with wide eyes, biting his lip when he realised what was wrong, covering the marks with his hand.
' Sorry, should I…should I put a plaster on it?'
Blaine shook his head, pressing a quick kiss to his lips. ' I'm not angry at you, I just…I just…he drank your blood, your blood is mine, only mine' he told him, ending in a growl. Kurt nodded, understanding, lifting his chin to expose his neck.
' Then take it' he whispered.
The fingers that were still stretching him disappeared, to be replaced by something much thicker and bigger, pressing against his entrance as Blaine's mouth dropped to his neck, over the new marks. Kurt gasped, clutching at Blaine's shoulder as his fangs penetrated the same spots as the freshly punctured skin, the blood flowing easily at the same as Blaine thrust hard into him, pushing in all the way and stilled only for a moment.
' Oh God…ah…Blaine!' Kurt exclaimed, pleasure pulsing through him at the familiar mixed feeling of fullness and the loss of his life liquid, Blaine drinking from his neck deeply, small growls and snarls coming from the back of his throat as he pulled out and thrust back in again, taking up a fast, pounding rhythm. Kurt knew he wouldn't last long; the pleasure spiking through him was too much. But he needed to complete the circle.
Kurt pulled Blaine's shoulder down, licking a stripe up his neck before burying his sharp fangs into his skin, the blood flowing into his mouth just like last time. Blaine groaned against him, his thrusts getting harder, wilder, pummelling his prostrate. They both pulled their teeth from each other's skin at the same time, Blaine licked up the spilt blood trailing down Kurt's collarbone and Kurt throwing his head back to scream in pleasure as his orgasm crashed into him, Blaine's hand darting to his cock to pump him through it, still pounding into him, letting out a loud moan as he came hard into his lover.
They both collapsed, Blaine panting against Kurt's neck and Kurt clutching hard at his shoulder, starting when he felt small drips of liquid hit his face, the puncture marks on Blaine's neck still seeping blood. Blaine groaned as he lifted his head to lick them away, the venom on his tongue sealing over the wounds as Blaine's had.
Blaine finally rolled off of him, flopping on the bed beside him and trying to catch his breath, closing his arms around Kurt when he snuggled into his side. They somehow managed to pull the covers over their naked forms, relishing in the warmth of each other. Kurt nuzzled the side of Blaine's neck, above the new puncture wounds.
' Feel better about it?'
His love knew what he was referring to and nodding, pressing a kiss to the top of his head and smiling, sighing happily.
' Yeah…I'm still going to kill him though'
Kurt nodded as well, pressing a kiss to the wounds. ' I know. I…' he hesitated. He didn't know protocol behind Bonding but…it just felt right. ' I love you Blaine'
Blaine's eyes shot open, looking down at the vampire in his arms who in turn looked up at him with his huge, dripping in emotion blue eyes, gnawing at his bottom lip nervously. Blaine smiled, tilting Kurt's chin up and pressing a passionate kiss to his lips.
' I love you too Kurt'
Sam went with Finn and Puck the next day to collect Kurt from the Dalton House, insisting that he thank the strange curly haired boy that he wasn't supposed to tell Burt about, in person. It was only polite. Sam was a country boy. He wasn't used to the finery of say the Hummel estate, so as they walked up the path towards the huge house with multiple windows and balconies, he gaped, shocked that someone could live in such a beautiful place.
He had been uneasy when he had woken up and Kurt wasn't there. Kurt was nice, familiar, his friend. To be fair, he had only known him for a day but still; the boy was the one who had saved him.
Neither Finn nor Puck looked very happy to be there as they climbed the steps of the front wrap around porch and Finn rang the loud gonging bell, both of the taller boys on edge as their eyes darted around, looking for any threats or someone sneaking up on them. Sam wondered why until a tall, skinny blonde dressed in pyjamas opened the door.
The other blonde's eyes narrowed for a moment before stepping aside, allowing Finn to lead the way inside. Sam hurried after Puck, gazing around at the expensive artwork and décor. The other blonde smiled at him weakly, sliding past the much taller boys to call out.
' THEY'RE HERE!'
In a flash, the foyer's four occupants were filled by four other vampires, making Sam jump and glaring at Puck, who'd already dropped into a defensive crouch.
Wes grinned. ' No need, we're not going to attack you. We're just here to make sure you don't disappear into the house and get lost of something' he drawled, leaning back against the wall and eyeing the two new boys he hadn't met. ' More bodyguards of Kurt's?'
Puck shook his head. ' This is Finn, Kurt's brother, and Sam, the boy from yesterday'
Wes's grin dropped, his eyes resting on Sam. ' The one Karofsky attacked?'
' If Karofsky's a big evil guy then yes' Sam replied, raising an eyebrow when the tall Asian sighed heavily. ' What?'
' Blaine told us what happened and how Karofsky was there to claim you' David spoke up, stepping forward. ' Kurt will probably fill you in on everything but we'd like to apologise for what happened to you and your young siblings, nobody should have to go through that and we are deeply sorry'
Finn and Puck frowned. ' Why are you sorry?' Finn demanded.
' We know Karofsky, and possibly the vampires who attacked Sam and his family' Thad explained.
' What?' Puck exclaimed. ' They're part of your coven?'
' No, but we used to be part of theirs' Nick said, looking across at the three taller Warblers. ' I don't want to tell the story again, it was hard enough the first time' David nodded understandingly, giving him a sympathetic look.
' Get Kurt to fill you in, we won't' he told the three Hummel coven vampires sternly, looking round at the sound of footsteps on the stairs, smirking slightly as Blaine descended towards them, holding Kurt on his back and laughing when he said something in his ear. Kurt giggled when he jiggled him playfully.
' Kurt' Finn interrupted their playing, causing Blaine's hazel eyes to jump down to glare at him. Kurt sighed, whispering in Blaine's ear briefly before hopping down from his back at the bottom of the stairs, smiling brightly at Sam.
' Sam! I didn't expect to see you up and about, how are you feeling?'
The blonde shrugged. ' Good, it's strange not to feel thirsty anymore though, I'd sort of gotten used to the pain of it' he admitted. ' Stacey and Stevie have really taken to Brittany and Tina' he added with an affectionate smile at the thought of his two younger siblings. Kurt smiled too.
' Those two are the best at looking after small children, though I must admit we've never had to deal with children being turned' he sighed. Sam nodded, glancing at Blaine nervously. ' Oh, Sam this is Blaine, and his friends Wes, David, Thad, Nick and Jeff. Boys, this is Sam, Noah and my brother Finn'
' It's nice to meet you all' Sam said, ignoring the frowns he received from Finn and Puck as he stepped forward, hand outstretched to Blaine. ' Um…I wanted to come here to err…thank you, for…for saving me and my brother and sister yesterday. I know you came to save Kurt, but you still helped us as well so thank you'
Blaine glanced at Kurt before shaking the newborn vampire's hand. ' Think nothing of it. Have the guys apologised yet?'
' Yes, but I'm don't understand why'
The Warblers shifted uncomfortably. They had said it already, and Kurt believed what he had briefly heard while he was getting dressed in Blaine's room. They didn't want to tell the story again, with good reason. Forty-eight of their brethren were killed for appearing to be a threat to whoever the man was that Blaine and the other boys seemed to fear. They had run all the way around America to get away from him after all. Kurt cleared his throat.
' I'll explain everything to you on the way home, to all three of you, for now let's head off, you two have made these boys as uncomfortable as they're gonna get' he said, turning to Blaine and smiling sadly. ' I have to go sweetie'
Blaine's face fell, hand reaching almost automatically to take hold of Kurt's. ' Will you be back?'
Kurt nodded. ' Of course' he told him, leaning over to press a kiss to the corner of Blaine's mouth. He went to pull away, sighing when Blaine refused to release his hand, tugging him back to him. ' I'll be back soon okay? I'm not going to disappear' he whispered, leaning in close, glancing across the foyer at his brother who was watching them closely. ' I have people to protect me, you don't need to worry'
' I'm chemically fused to you Kurt, of course I worry'
Kurt smiled. ' Same for me Blaine, but I trust the people who are closest to you, you must trust mine'
Blaine looked over at Finn as well and sighed, releasing Kurt's hand, lifting his own instead to cup his cheek and kiss him lovingly. They left shortly afterwards, and Blaine stood with Jeff, watching them go, darting off into the west tree line. He sighed, smiling weakly when Jeff patted his arm sympathetically.
' You'll see him soon mate, he'll be…'
Blaine looked round when Jeff cut off suddenly, his blue eyes glazing over, turning almost white. His whole body went stiff and he didn't flinch or move away when Blaine stepped in front of him, taking hold of his shoulders, watching his face closely, the slightly taller blonde's facial expressions changing from sympathetic, to vacant, to terror, the glaze across his eyes shifting and fading away. He jumped at the sight of Blaine so close, but his surprise only lasted for a moment, his gaze jumping past him to the east line of trees.
