AN: So I had to rework this middle section a little bit, but I still feel it isn't up to my usual standards. Then I had to rework the ending because I had given away something that I wasn't ready to reveal yet. So again, I think I got all the mistakes no promises and hope you all enjoy! Please Review. ~ Draco.
Chapter 9
Unrest
It had been a long three days, since Kurt and the others had taken Finn to the hospital. Kurt thought that it was an absolute miracle that Finn had survived his ordeal. Finn had died twice on the operating table, but the doctors were able to bring him back. Carole had given the doctors a go ahead on doing a combination of a blood transfusion and using dialysis to help clean Finn's blood.
Kurt voiced concern that if they removed Finn's blood, wouldn't that affect Finn's Lycan abilities. Carole actually chuckled at Kurt's concern and replied that since Finn had already gone through the Fever, his body is set until Finn's death, and that any blood that is introduced to Finn's system transforms it into Lycan blood. So even if Finn had to have a complete blood transfusion, he'd still be okay, not at tip top condition for a little bit while the blood was converted, but still okay.
So Finn was still at the hospital for the dialysis and the transfusions, but he was doing better than he was. The doctors were surprised that all the damage done by the silver embedding itself into Finn's chest has mostly cleared up. Everything was still red and Finn was still sore, but no one said anything. Carole made the comment to the doctor, that it's always been that way with Finn since he was a kid, and the doctor laughed and said that Finn had to have a super healthy immune system to do recovery work like that.
Kurt was forced to take over in Finn's place in the pack, since he is the Supreme Alpha's mate, and he wasn't too keen about it. So here Kurt was in his house with Riley, Puck, Mike and Tina. Zane was hanging out with Mercedes while Kurt had this little meeting.
"I say we go over to that preppy rich kid school and kick their asses." Puck said angrily.
"No, we're not going to do that." Kurt said with a note of finality. "We may know that they did it, but what do you seriously expect to do Puck? Dalton trains their students on how to kill Lycans, and I am going to assume Vampires as well."
Puck huffed. "I'd go in there and kick those fuckers who hurt Finn, to with an inch of their lives."
Riley sighed. "As much fun as that would be Puck, I agree with Kurt. We can't openly attack Dalton, especially since there is only five of us with Finn or six if you count Kurt. If we attack them either without a larger pack, or with a lot of guns, we won't get far."
Puck threw up his hands. "Well sitting around here doing nothing is not what I have in mind."
Kurt sighed and rubbed his temples. Tina glanced at Kurt. "Do you know what Finn wanted us to do before he was attacked?"
That seemed to give Kurt focus enough to drop his hands. "I do, and this is the course that we are going to take. If we don't address it, this could be a little bit bigger problem for us than Dalton would be."
Mike frowned at that. "Not to ask a dumb question, but wouldn't Dalton be the bigger problem since they are the ones that are potentially trying to kill us?"
Kurt nodded. "That is true, but Finn and Riley believe that they have figured out who the other two Vampires are at McKinley. We don't know if they are from my seventh great grandmother's brother or sister's line or not, but if they are with me then they could prove to be allies. If not then we got a battle on two fronts, the one with those two Vampires and one with Dalton. I'd rather turn it into the one against just Dalton."
Tina looked at her hands and then up at Kurt. "We know that the other two have a flowery and leather scent, and that you smell like oranges. So who do Finn and Riley think the other two are?"
Kurt glanced at Riley and then back at Tina. "Both Riley and Finn explained to me why they think it might be them. And Riley also said that like me, they have just mostly this primary scent and that their secondary scent like mine, is almost nonexistent. Both Riley and Finn believe that the other two Vampires may be Sam and Quinn."
"Wait, Lady Fabray as a Vampire?" Puck asked a little puzzled, "and Big Mouth?"
Kurt frowned at Puck's comment. "Yes Puck, those two. Now here is what Finn and I decided on this. Riley and Mike will follow Sam, and Puck, you and Tina will follow Quinn. What you are going to do is again try and see if you can smell the leather scent from Sam and the flower scent from Quinn. Tina, I am a little worried that Quinn might be a little more difficult because she could be wearing a flowery perfume or something."
Tina nodded. "If Quinn and Sam are the Vampires what do you want us to do?"
Kurt frowned at that, because Finn hadn't really said other than confronting them privately. Kurt thought for a moment and then looked at the four gathered around him. "If you do get a confirmation, then just let me know. Finn wanted to confront them privately, but I don't know how well that would go over. But we got four days until school lets out for Christmas break, and personally I'd like to figure this out before we go on break. I really don't want to add an extra worry over Christmas."
The four nodded, Mike then glanced at Kurt. "Do you know how Finn's doing?"
Kurt gave Mike a reassuring smile. "He's doing well. Carole said that they had to do a partial blood transfusion, and some dialysis, and Finn's no longer in danger from the silver like he was. They also removed everything from that exploding pot, and all the damage that had been done is just all red and sore for now."
Mike nodded. "Are his Lycan abilities going to be affected at all?"
Kurt shook his head. "Carole said that the blood they are transfusing is being transformed in Finn's body to Lycan blood. She also said that he won't be at 100 percent right away, but he'll get there since you Lycans have a fast recovery period."
Mike gave a smile and looked at Tina. Tina smiled back and then looked at Kurt. "I have a question, and I don't know if you or Riley know the answer or not."
Kurt nodded, "alright let's hear it."
Tina sighed. "Well I've been thinking, Finn said that Mike, Puck and I are Generational Lycans. But yet as far as I know neither one of our parents have snuck off during a full moon. So if our parents are not Lycans or a Lycan, how can we be generational Lycans?"
Kurt's eyebrows rose up in confusion, and then glanced at Riley. "I don't even have a clue, Riley care to take a stab at it?"
Riley cleared his throat. "I'm not entirely sure either Tina. I know that back home, that there had been cases like that where it skips a few generations, but I don't know why that is. The best I can guess at for you is that someone in your family at some point was a Lycan, and that the genes were passed down to you through your family's generations."
Tina nodded. "Well thanks; it just makes me a little easier I guess."
Riley smiled. "No problem."
Kurt glanced around at everyone. "Are you guys clear on your assignment?"
Everyone nodded except Puck. Kurt frowned, "Puck?"
Puck glanced up. "Yeah, yeah, I follow around Quinn with Goth Girl here."
Kurt raised an eyebrow. "And what else Puck?"
Puck shook his head and tried to look innocent. "Umm, not sure, don't we have everything cleared up?"
Kurt gave Puck a look that started make Puck squirm in his seat. "What did I say about Dalton?"
After a minute, Puck finally snapped back at Kurt. "Fine Lance Bass, don't go to Dalton and give those snot nosed, stuck up, pampered rich kids a Lycan beat down; which by the way they totally do deserve for what they did to Finn."
Kurt shook his head. "No, and that's final. We will deal with Dalton after we assess the Vampire situation from Sam and Quinn, and Finn is all healed up. Then, and only then will we then take on Dalton."
Puck gave Kurt a disgusted look, "Fine."
With that Kurt dismissed the group from their meeting.
Finn sat in his hospital bed completely restless. He wanted to get up and move, but the doctor had told him not to push himself so hard after a transfusion. So Finn has sat in the hospital bed for too long and he was not too thrilled with the situation, but he was forever thankful that he survived the attack. Carole had been with Finn the first day and a half he was there with Kurt. Kurt came by after school to see him since he didn't really have time in the mornings.
Finn was also tired of the hospital food, and was craving a Big Mac from McDonald's or something really greasy and fattening. Plus the television was currently stuck on the Food Network for some reason, it didn't really help matters, plus he couldn't find the little controller to change the channel.
Carole walked in with the doctor a moment before Finn decided he was going to go hunt for the remote. The doctor cleared his throat as he looked over Finn's chart. "Well Finn, it looks like you are going to be alright, and your last blood test came back negative on the silver trace elements, so we don't need to keep you on dialysis anymore, let alone do another transfusion."
Finn nodded. "So when do I get to go home?"
The doctor smiled. "Well usually we'd want to keep you a little longer for observation, but since it is Christmas, I'm gonna release you to go home. But you have to stay home for the rest of the day and then if you're feeling up to it you can back to school tomorrow, but not before."
Finn smiled. "Anything you say doc."
The doctor returned the smile. "Well I'm glad that you're doing well. Considering that the silver we were pulling out of you was practically shrapnel. But I'm glad that we got it all out of you and that you're still here with us since it was touch and go there for a little bit."
Carole smiled. "Should there be any after effects due to the transfusion?"
The doctor nodded. "Just be ready to get tired easily. Your body needs to get used to the new blood that we had to give you, so just take it easy for the next week, before you do any strenuous activities."
Finn nodded, excited that he was finally going to be getting out of there. Within a half hour Carole had all the paperwork filled out for Finn to be released and Finn was escorted out in a wheelchair and he gently got himself into his mom's car.
Carole got in and she gave him a smile. "Well I'm sure Kurt will be thrilled that you'll be out of there."
Finn nodded. "I got the impression that he doesn't care for hospitals."
Carole nodded as she backed out of her parking spot. "If I remember right, Kurt's mom died in the hospital, and then everything with Burt's heart attack, I can understand why it'd be hard for him."
Finn glanced out the window. "Do you have me phone? I wanted to text Kurt and let him know that I'm out of the hospital."
Carole frowned. "Sorry, I forgot to grab it on my way out of the house this afternoon. Let's get you something to eat and then home, and then you can text Kurt and let him know that you're home."
Finn smiled and laid back in the seat and watched as his mom drove around Lima. An hour and a half later, Finn was home and Carole helped Finn over to the couch, where he collapsed into really tired. Carole then brought the McDonald's bag of food, and his cell phone, and Finn sent Kurt a text.
I'm home from the hospital. Come see me when you're done with school. Finn.
With that Finn then dug into the bag of food and started wolfing down the fries.
Kurt had met with Riley and Zane after school, for the three of them were going to go over and see Finn at the hospital. Kurt heard his phone go off, but he wanted to see Finn so bad that he didn't bother to check it. The three piled into the Navigator and Kurt drove over to the hospital, and they walked in.
They weren't even at the room yet when Riley stopped. "Something's not right."
Kurt frowned. "What do you mean?"
Riley looked around, but Kurt could tell that he was sniffing the air. "Finn's not here."
Kurt's frown deepened. "What do mean he's not here?"
Riley's face took on a painful expression. "It's like….it's like he's gone, because I can't trace his scent in here. The room he was in is being cleaned."
Kurt's frown quickly changed into horror. "No, he can't be dead."
Before Zane or Riley could do anything Kurt was already down the hall and heading into the room that Finn was in, in the blink of an eye. Kurt moved into the room and approached the nurse that was cleaning in there. "Excuse me ma'am, do you know what happened to Finn Hudson? He was a patient in here."
The nurse shook her head. "I'm sorry I don't. I've only been here for about 20 minutes and this room had already been vacated. I can go ask someone if you like."
Kurt shook his head and headed back out the door running into Riley and Zane. Riley and Zane took in Kurt's vacant expression and fear rose in both of them. Riley cleared his throat. "What did she say?"
Kurt shook his head, and he sat down on a chair outside of the room. Riley exchanged a nervous glance with Zane. Zane looked up and down the hall for a minute. "I'm gonna go see if anyone knows what happened to Finn."
Riley nodded and then looked at Kurt again. "Kurt, what did she say?"
Kurt took in a shaky breath. "She said no one was in there when she got here."
Riley's heart went out to Kurt, but he really didn't know what to say. He hated how hospital's really screwed up a Lycan's senses with all the disinfectant and sterilizing stuff that was around; so he could never really get a fix on a particular scent. "Maybe they took Finn to get some tests done or something, you know? To make sure everything was okay."
Kurt shook his head as tears started to fall from his eyes. "You said that you couldn't smell him, so he's gotta be….I can't even think about it."
Riley wasn't sure what to do. He was never really good at expressing his feelings anyway. Riley would rather just keep everything bottled up and then express his frustrations through his anger. But his friend Peter had been there in the beginning to help him through it, and then Anya, and then Zane came along, and at moments it was like Zane completely flipped his world upside down on how he felt about things. But that still doesn't change the fact that he wasn't sure what to do here for Kurt.
Kurt let out a quiet sob, and Riley put his hand on Kurt's shoulder when Zane came up with a smile on his face, but Riley saw it disappear as Zane took in sight before him. Zane came up kneeled down next to Riley and he spoke in a soft voice. "Kurt, hey…hey can listen to me for a second?"
Kurt nodded so Zane gave a small smile. "We just missed Finn is all. The nurse I spoke to said that he went home about an hour ago. He's doing fine and he's home, so there's no need to be upset okay."
Kurt looked at Zane and then dug in his pocket and pulled out his cell phone, and found that there was a text message from Finn on his phone, which he had ignored in favor of getting to the hospital. Kurt opened the text and read it.
I'm home from the hospital. Come see me when you're done with school. Finn.
Kurt let out a sigh of relief. "You're right he's home. If I had checked my phone, we could have just gone to Finn's house."
Zane and Riley looked at each other and smiled. Zane cleared his throat. "You ready to go then?"
Kurt took a moment to compose himself. "Yeah, let's get out of here."
With that the three of them left hospital and Kurt drove over to Finn and Carole's house. Since Riley and Zane were staying there they let themselves in and Kurt followed them in. Carole smiled as she came around into the hall from coming up the stairs. "Hi guys, Finn's up in his room, you can all go up and see him."
The three trumped up the stairs, but Riley and Zane let Kurt go into Finn's room first. Finn was leaning against his headboard, and he was covered up in a blanket. Kurt smiled and walked over and sat next to Finn on the bed. "Hey, you gave me a little scare there for a moment."
Finn frowned in confusion. "How did I do that?"
Kurt shook his head. "It's not important."
Finn's frown only increased, and he took Kurt's hand in his. "Please tell me."
Kurt sighed not really wanting to discuss it. "I got your text at school, but I just assumed that it was Mercedes wanting to talk or something, and I just ignored it because I wanted to see you. So the three of us had gone to the hospital and found out that you weren't there and…well I….the important thing is that you are out and on the mend."
Finn smiled, and he leaned forward and he pulled Kurt's head to him with his free hand and he kissed Kurt on the forehead. "Yeah, I'm still here. How are things otherwise?"
Kurt smiled. "Well we got Puck and Tina following Quinn, and Riley and Mike on Sam, so it's just a waiting game now."
Finn nodded. "Have there been any other signs from Dalton?"
Kurt shook his head. "After you were hurt, the school was put on lockdown for a day where they asked if anyone knew anything about what happened and the school was informed that you had died twice while they were operating on you."
Finn nodded. "How did that go over?"
Kurt shrugged. "There were some concerned people, and some that shall remain nameless were not nearly as civilized about it. Plus Rachel seemed to find a way to make it about her."
Finn gave Kurt a confused look, and then it turned to a frown. "And how did she do that?"
Kurt's eyes narrowed. "In a nut shell she made the attack on you sound like people were upset that you were with me and not with her. Rachel also said that this was someone's way of telling you that you would be better off with her and not me."
Finn shook his head. "It's not like I have a choice in this. No matter what I did when I fought the imprint it was like you just kept popping back up even harder, when I tried to think of Rachel harder."
Finn sighed, and then glanced at Zane and Riley who were still by the door. "You guys can come in."
Zane smiled. "We just wanted to give you and Kurt a moment."
Riley nodded. "Besides, we uh…we umm…we had a….promised Artie that we'd go over and play some video games. So we'll see you for dinner."
With that Riley and Zane shuffled out of the room, and Kurt had to suppress a laugh. Finn got a puzzled look and then glanced at Kurt who laughed harder. "What's so funny?"
Kurt shook his head. "Nothing, I think they think that we need some private time together is all."
Finn's face scrunched up at that and then it dawned on him. "Oh, they think we need to make out or something?"
Kurt turned a little red at how blunt Finn had made it sound, but he nodded. "Something like that, Finn. But I had wanted to talk to you about some things though."
Finn nodded. "Alright, what did you want to talk about?"
Kurt sat there for a moment as he organized his thoughts. Finally after three minutes Kurt finally spoke up. "I know that at school, you're fine with my adjusting your shirt or what not, and then that one time I kissed you, but I just feel that you're not okay being with me. I know that your imprint makes you want me, but I just feel like it's not there like I want it to be. I know that you've talked to Riley about this, but I just feel that we need to have this talk."
Finn blinked and nodded. "I've been thinking about that too. I know that I haven't been very considerate of your feelings in all this, and for that I'm sorry."
There was a small pause between them before Finn spoke again. "Plus this attack on me has made me realize that if I don't accept things now, then all I am going to do is end up hurting you, without meaning to do so. So I promise as of tomorrow, I will be your out and proud boyfriend at school."
Kurt was a little shocked to hear that. "Finn, I don't want you to put yourself in anymore danger just yet. If you do this you're just going to aggravate Karofsky and Azimio."
Finn shook his head. "No, because if I don't do this Kurt then it's going to be worse, and I can't keep putting this off any longer. I know that the guys are all cool with us being together and Tina, but it's the rest of the girls that I'm worried about."
Kurt nodded at that. Then Kurt remembered two months ago shortly after Finn had gone through the Fever, that all the guys had been given confirmation that he and Finn were together, Riley and Zane had still been on the run from the hunters that were chasing them so they didn't know yet. When Tina had gone through the Fever she had been entrusted to the information as well.
But as for the rest of the girls, they all just assumed that they were boyfriends, do to Rachel's outburst in the lunchroom that one day and a supposed proof that Jacob had. Kurt had found out that Puck had gotten the tape before Jacob could use it against them. So Kurt now felt a little uncomfortable with the idea that Finn was going to open up something that should remain closed. Kurt glanced up at Finn's face. "You know that this is going to probably do a lot of damage to your reputation, right?"
Finn nodded. "I don't care anymore. If I have a choice to live a lie and do what others think I need to do or accept myself and the person that I care about to be happy with, then I 'm going to go with what makes me happy."
Kurt smiled. "Thanks, but the rest of the girls already assume that we're together any way."
Finn returned the smile. "Well then let's give them what they think."
Kurt's smile faltered for a second. "Alright, but there is something else too, what do we do about Mercedes?"
Finn nodded and thought for a moment. "I forgot about that. She was there when my eyes turned at Sectionals."
Kurt nodded. "She's been bugging me now for a week."
Finn let out a sigh. "We'll need to tell her."
Kurt frowned at that. "And how exactly do you plan on doing that? She's going to assume that we're all nuts when Riley, Tina, Mike, Puck, you and I all tell her that we're a bunch of werewolves and a vampire. Yea, that's gonna go over really well."
Finn thought for a moment, and then he looked up at Kurt. "Can you use your fangs yet?"
Kurt thought for second and then shrugged. "I don't know, I've never really thought about it."
"Well give it a try, just think about it."
Kurt sighed and then he concentrated on his fangs and at first there was nothing, but after a few minutes Kurt felt a tingling sensation in his mouth. It was like is if he had been punched and he had a fat lip, Kurt then looked over at Finn, and noticed that Finn's eyes were growing like dinner plates with shock and awe. Kurt then took out a little compact he carried with him and opened it and looked in the mirror and he saw his fangs.
They had grown only a few centimeters, but Kurt could tell that if anything that was one thing that the pop culture got right about the vampire. Kurt reached up touched one of them, he could feel how sharp they were. Kurt pulled back his hand in shock and then looked at Finn. "Do they go away?"
Finn just sat there and watched in awe. Kurt wasn't sure what to do, and he started worrying about what this would mean if his fangs stayed in. A moment later the fat lip sensation was back and felt with his tongue that his fangs had shrunk back up and aligned with his teeth normally again. Finn blinked a few times before he finally seemed to bring himself back together. "That was pretty cool."
Kurt lifted an eyebrow. "Ok, so now that we know that I can grow my fangs what was the point of that?"
Finn hung his head a little sheepishly. "Well Riley said that since I am a Supreme Alpha, that I have the ability to transform at will day or night. The only exception is during a new moon. This last time I was able to keep my mind the entire night and be in control of the wolf. So why don't we invite Mercedes over and just show her me transforming, and then you can show her your fangs."
Kurt's eyes narrowed at that. "Do you want to give her a heart attack? She's probably going to flip out big time if we do that."
Finn frowned. "Well that's all that I got. If you got a better idea then I'm all ears."
Kurt took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped. But we should do a combination of both telling her and showing her. Then we'll have to pretty much swear her to secrecy. And as much as I love Mercedes, she will have the gossip mill at McKinley fueled for years, if we don't head her off."
Finn nodded. "Yeah, cause I really don't want the whole school knowing about all this. It's going to be difficult to hide the fact that you're pregnant when we get there."
At that both of them turned beet red. Kurt finally cleared his throat. "Yeah, um…about that, it was another thing that I wanted to talk about."
Finn sighed and gave Kurt a small smile. "Ok."
Kurt didn't know where he wanted to start this one off at so he just voiced his concern. "When I told you about this prophecy about us and that I could get pregnant, you just seemed to accept it and didn't really comment on it. May I ask why?"
Finn looked down at his hands and he started to wring them together. "I, umm…I really don't know what to think on it really. I find it really all terrifying really. After the whole baby thing with Quinn last year, I'm just really nervous about the idea."
Kurt nodded, he remembered the year before, how Finn was skittish there for a while before Quinn's pregnancy was made public at school, and then after that until the truth came out that the baby was actually Puck's. "Is it the fact of the baby itself or that you're going to be having sex with another guy?"
Finn remained quiet and kept staring at his hands; Kurt thought that he might have figured out what was probably bothering Finn. Kurt cleared his throat. "It's okay Finn, you can tell me I won't get mad if you're honest with me."
At that Finn slowly nodded his head. "It's more of the fact being with a guy."
Kurt gave Finn a smile. "Well I thank you for being honest with me Finn. It really does mean a lot."
Finn looked up. "I haven't told anyone else about you being able to have a baby."
Kurt nodded. "Then the only ones that know then are my dad, aunt, grandmother, us, and Zane."
Finn frowned at that. "How does Zane know about it?"
Kurt reached over and took Finn's hand. "That night you took the others to go transform, and Zane came over to my place, I told him then. He was the one that convinced me to tell you sooner rather than later."
Finn blinked. "Oh, ok."
Kurt wasn't sure what Finn was thinking. "Is that alright?"
Finn nodded. "Yeah, it is. I was just a little surprised is all."
Kurt gave a small smile. "Well we got to talking about my Vampire abilities that I know of and what little I know and then your imprint on me and then Riley's on Zane. So it just kind of came up."
Finn gave a small smile. "I promise you, I'm okay with you telling him. It just means that I'll need to tell Riley soon."
Kurt nodded, and then reached over and grabbed Finn's hand. "When the time comes, would you…would you like to have a child with me?"
Finn's smile really came through at that point, the one where his right side picks up and then falls back down and then both sides go up and Finn got this really loving look in his eyes. "Yes, I think that when the time comes I'd love to have a child with you."
Kurt then smiled big in return and Finn then brought Kurt over to him and started kissing him. They were so into the kiss that they didn't even hear Carole come up the stairs, calling Finn's name, walking in and then slowly turning around and leaving them. They only stopped when they heard a voice being cleared and looked over to see a very flustered Burt standing in Finn's doorway.
Burt was red from embarrassment, and he was scrunching up his hat. "Carole wanted me to tell you two, that dinner is in five minutes."
With that Burt left and Kurt had to laugh and a moment so did Finn.
The next morning at school Kurt opened his locker to find an envelope fall out. Kurt just stared at it and he quickly looked around and saw Riley passing bye. "Hey, Riley, can you come here for a second?"
Riley nodded and came over. "What's up?"
Kurt motioned to the floor at the envelope. "I just want to be sure it's safe is all."
Riley nodded and then bent down to pretend that he was tying his shoe, while he used his senses to see if there was anything dangerous in the envelope. After a moment Riley picked it up and handed it to Kurt. "I don't smell anything, so I assume it's safe."
Kurt nodded and then slowly tore open the envelope. He found a typed letter inside it and Kurt felt a chill settle over him.
To the son of Elissa,
I know who you are and I know that the son of Orestes and the daughter of Valtia are also here. The time is close at hand to where you must complete the prophecy. The son of Alcyone and the son of Elissa shall be united and form a bond like no other. You shall save us all by uniting the bloodlines. And to confirm your paranoia now, there is another Vampire at McKinley that is older than the children of Elissa, Orestes and Valtia.
Kurt looked up in horror at Riley who had a mirrored look on his face due to him reading over Kurt's shoulder.
