Chapter 9: The Battle

All the McKinley students pulled up to the large, iron gate. Rachel hopped out of Finn's car, where she had ridden there, and walked around to the front. "This is going to be difficult," she told them. "I'm not going to lie to you. These are vampires. But, we've trained for this, and I believe you can do it. Don't be fooled by their appearance. They may look like innocent teenagers, but they are wicked demons. Let's go McKinley!" The group crept up to the gate and slipped through.

"This is creepy." Tina muttered, as they walked through the dark forest.

"Shh." Rachel hissed, making them stop. "Look." She said, pointing to the two vampires standing in the moonlight. "If we're quiet, we can ambush them."

Puck gripped the handle of the axe he was holding. "I'm going to throw this. It won't kill them, but it will injure them so they can't run away."

"That's a good idea." Rachel said, nodding. "On my signal, throw it."

Nick turned to face his mate. "Why did you want me out here?"

Jeff fingered the ring box that was in his blazer pocket. "Nick, ever since I was little..." Suddenly, his eyes widened. "Nick, move!" He yelled, pushing his mate out of the way, just as an axe went hurtling through the air, slicing through where Nick had been standing previously.

"We're being attacked." Jeff exclaimed, shocked. "We've got to warn the others."

The two vampires shifted into bats and flew up into the open window, landing in Blaine and Nick's room. "Blaine, humans are attacking! Wake the others!" Nick yelled at his roommate, causing him to fall out of bed in shock.

"I'm up! I'm up!" Blaine said, standing up from the floor, and pulling on his blazer and pants. "Go warn the others."

Nick and Jeff burst out of the room, and ran down the hallway, yelling and causing doors along the hallway to open. Kurt opened the door and looked out, before turning to Mercedes.

"This is serious Cedes."

She nodded. "I know boo. Let's get our weapons."

Puck scowled. "I was so sure that would work. Now we lost our element of surprise."

"Its fine Puck." Rachel reassured him. "We still startled them. They'll be disorganized, and that's when we'll strike."

The whole group moved into the large courtyard, looking up at the large castle in front of them. Suddenly, arrows began to rain down on them from one of the open windows.

"They have a sniper!" Rachel yelled. "Take cover." The whole group scattered, pressing themselves up against the wall of the castle for cover.

Blaine appeared next to Kurt, smirking as his mate rained arrows down on the humans. "Give them hell." He told Kurt, clutching the metal bat in his hand and double checking his dagger was strapped to his side.

"I will." Kurt told him, giving Blaine one last kiss. "I love you."

Blaine smiled adoringly at him. "I love you too." He jumped out the window, executing a perfect swan dive, before shifting into a bat.

"What's that?" Mike asked, pointing to the sky, where teens were jumping out of windows, before shifting into bats.

Rachel clenched her teeth. "Vampires."

David landed on the ground, metal bat in hand, before surveying the courtyard. A big, meaty teen, probably a jock, came running towards him. "You're going to die, demon." The jock yelled, bat in his hand. David swung his bat, hard, and hit the jock in the head, hard enough to knock him out.

"I think you're wrong." He commented offhandedly, to the unmoving body on the ground.

"You monster! You killed him!" David heard a screech, and looked up to see a teenage girl in a cheerleading uniform running towards him.

"Woah, woah. I don't want to hurt you." He said, backing up. "I didn't kill him, he's just knocked out. He'll have a concussion." David looked at the WMHS on her uniform, shocked, and grabbed her wrist. "Are you from McKinley High School?"

The girl struggled, but couldn't break free from David's hold. "Yes, I'm from McKinley, we all are. Now let me go!"

"Who's here?" David demanded.

"The Titans and the Cheerios." The girl told him. "Oh, and the lame, loser, glee club, the New Directions. But they want to kill vampires too, and it was their idea, so I don't mind."

David let go of her hand and sprinted in the other direction. He had to find Kurt and Mercedes, before one of the New Directions did.

Up in the window, Kurt put his bow away. He may have a good aim, but he didn't want to hit one of his friends. Kurt jumped out of the window and shifted into a bat, before landing on the ground.

Rachel looked through the courtyard, looking for one of the demons she could murder. Her eyes fell upon one that took the shape of a teenage boy, with curly black hair and hazel eyes. She smirked, this one would be easy to kill. Its such a shame that he took such an attractive form.

Blaine raced through the courtyard, looking for a human invader. "Hey, demon." He heard, and turned around. Standing there was a brunette girl with a wooden stake in her hand. She looked familiar, but Blaine wasn't sure why. Blaine went to back up, but found himself pressed up against the castle wall. The girl smirked, "I got you trapped, don't I?"

"Why are you doing this?" Blaine demanded. "We aren't that different."

The girl snarled. "Don't you dare compare yourself to me, demon. I'm going to kill you and rid our world of this evil." She plunged the stake towards Blaine, and he waited for death, but it never came.

David ran towards Mercedes. "Cedes, we have a huge problem."

Mercedes looked over to Blaine, and saw a brunette girl plunging a wooden stake towards his heart. "Blaine!" She cried out in terror.

Kurt looked up when he heard Mercedes yell, and time seemed to slow. He ran towards his mate, faster than he had ever run before. The only thing that mattered was saving his mate. At the last second, he wrenched the stake from the girl's hand.

Rachel blinked as the stake she was going to use to kill the demon with, was wrenched from her hand as a vampire with coifed, chestnut hair hurtled towards her and snatched it, before disappearing into the woods. Two other vampires, a boy and a girl, appeared there. The girl's back was to her, so Rachel couldn't see her face, but the boy took the form of an African-American teen.

"Oh my god Blaine! Are you okay?" David asked his friend, frightened.

Blaine nodded and clutched his arm. "I was grazed, and I'm bleeding, but I'll be fine."

"Good." David said, nodding. "We have a bigger problem." He turned to Mercedes. "The attackers are from McKinley. I cornered a cheerleader and she told me it was the Titans, Cheerios, and New Directions, but the New Directions were the ones who organized it."

Rachel scowled. "Of course the New Directions organized it. We want to rid the world of you demons, and the Titans and Cheerios were more than happy to help."

Mercedes sighed. "Once again, Kurt and I's biggest problem comes in the shape of Rachel Berry." She turned around to face her shocked friend. "Hello Rachel. How are you? Are you done trying to murder my friends?"

"That makes sense." Blaine said, causing David and Mercedes to look at him. "I was wondering why you looked so familiar."

David looked among them, before turning to Rachel. "You're going to get chewed out in a minute."

"What—" but Rachel was cut off by the appearance of Kurt.

"Oh my god, Blaine. Are you okay? I heard Cedes scream and I was so scared. You're bleeding." Kurt fussed, looking over his mate.

Blaine chuckled. "I'm fine Kurt. Its just a graze. I'll need a blood bag, since it was from a wooden stake, but I'll be fine."

"We have bigger problems than that Kurt." David said, leaning over. "It's who almost killed Blaine."

Kurt whipped around to face Rachel. "You, how dare you—" he cut off in shock. "Rachel?"

"Wait, Kurt?" Rachel looked surprised. "What the hell are you doing here? And what's going on?"

Mercedes put her head in her hands. "We have to figure out how to stop the fighting. The New Directions are here. They're responsible."

Kurt thought for a second, before turning to the other three vampires. "Blaine, you gather everyone from Dalton in one place, how about the center of the courtyard? David, you gather all the humans. Grab Wes, Nick, and Jeff to help you. We just need to get everyone in one spot, so Cedes and I can talk to them and finally stop the fighting. Cedes," he said, turning to his smiling best friend. "We're going to gather wood and all the weapons and burn them. Let's do this."

"C'mon." David said, grabbing Rachel. "You heard Kurt."

David grabbed Rachel by the arm, using his vampire speed to run her over to the center of the courtyard, where he let her down gently, before running over to Jeff, Nick, and Wes and relaying the information. The McKinley kids looked around in shock as they were sped over by the vampires, and a pile of wood began to grow. Suddenly, they felt a breeze, and all their weapons were wrenched from their hands and placed on the wood. Behind the large mound of wood, stood all the vampires, watching them. Next to the fire stood two vampires, their faces obscured by the light. The vampire closest to the wood held up his hand, and was tossed a lighter, which he easily caught.

Finn gulped as he watched the scene from next to Rachel. "The stories are true. They're going to burn us alive."

Kurt rolled his eyes. "Finn Hudson, I'm not going to burn you alive, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."

"That's even more ridiculous than Jeff's rants about how inaccurate Twilight is." Mercedes said, from her spot next to Kurt.

Jeff, from his spot next to the water hose, yelled indignantly. "They're not ridiculous Cedes, they're true!"

"Jeff, just man the water hose." Kurt said, rolling his eyes, causing the other vampire to salute.

Blaine thought for a second. "I've never heard of vampires burning people alive. That's a new one."

Kurt nodded in agreement. "I just want to burn these weapons." He said, lighting the wood and watching all the weapons melt away. The New Directions were too shocked to say anything. "Jeff! The water!" He yelled to the other vampire, who tossed the hose to Kurt. "If you don't want to get wet, I would advise you to step back." He told the McKinley kids, before Jeff turned on the water and he sprayed the fire out. "Now that that's done." Kurt said, tossing the hose to Jeff once again, and turning to face the New Directions. "Would you mind telling me what the fuck is going on?"

Mike looked at them in shock. "Kurt, Mercedes, what are you two doing here? And you should get away from them, they're vampires, they'll hurt you."

Kurt rolled his eyes. "Newsflash, Mercedes and I are vampires. And as far as hurting us goes, why don't you all talk to Rachel, who nearly murdered my mate for defending himself against an unprovoked attack."

David nodded. "I saw the whole thing. If it wasn't for Mercedes' scream, and Kurt being able to get there in time, Blaine would be dead right now."

"I'm fine Kurt." Blaine reassured him. "My arm just hurts right now."

"I'll go get you a blood pack." David said, before shifting and flying off.

Rachel stared at them defiantly. "Vampires are demons who should be rid of this world before they go and kill us all."

Kurt stared at her with hurt in his eyes. "Rachel, Mercedes and I have been your best friends for years, and we're vampires. Look at them," he said, gesturing to all the Dalton students who were cowering behind Blaine. "They're terrified, because a bunch of humans attacked them, unprovoked, at what's supposed to be their safe space. I would expect this from the jocks and the Cheerios, but not the New Directions. You all preach about inclusion, but you try to kill me for something that's not even my fault. You're no worse than the bullies who bullied me for my sexuality."

"Dolphin?" Kurt turned to face Brittany. "I'm sorry." She cried, before launching herself into his arms. "I'm sorry about what happened. I don't hate you. You're even a more magical unicorn now, because you're actually magical. Will you forgive me?"

Kurt hugged her back. "I forgive you Britt."

Jeff jumped to the front of the group. "I have something to say. Nick," he said, turning to his mate. "This is what I was going to tell you before that axe flew through the air and interrupted us. This was supposed to be a lot more romantic."

From his spot with the New Directions, Puck lowered his head embarrassingly.

"Nick," Jeff continued. "Ever since I was little, I always knew I was different, that I was gay. I thought I was never going to find someone. And then I met you. You were so strong, despite everything that happened to you. I was drawn to you from the beginning, before I even knew what the mating bond was. You are the best thing in my life, Nick Duval. Will you marry me?" He asked, getting down on one knee.

"Yes, yes." Nick said, closing the distance between him and Jeff and kissing him, as Jeff slipped the ring on his finger.

"Kurt," Jeff said, as soon as they broke apart. "Will you be my best man? You're my best friend, and you have always put up with me, even when I'm annoying."

Kurt chuckled. "I would love to be your best man. And you two helped to get me and Blaine together, so it's a win win."

"Blaine," Nick said, turning to his roommate. "Will you be my best man? You're my best friend, cousin, and roommate, and you dealt with my pining for months, before I realized Jeff and I were mates."

"Absolutely," Blaine said, grinning. "I would love to be your best man."

"It's over vampires!" A voice called out. The whole group turned to see Mr. Schue, standing with a bloodied sword in one hand, and the head of Headmaster Wilson in his other hand. "We won. I've killed the demon you call a Headmaster."

"No!" Blaine yelled, sinking into the ground, Kurt rushing to him. "I don't want to go back Kurt." Blaine sobbed out. "I don't want to go back."

Kurt rubbed his back soothingly. "I won't let them take you back, understand. Sweetheart, I love you and I won't let anything bad happen to you, even if I have to fight your parents myself."

"What's going on here?" An angry voice called out.

The entire crowd parted to reveal Burt Hummel, looking extremely angry and confused.

"Burt?" Mr. Schue asked, confused. "What are you doing here?"

Burt strode towards him. "I got a call from Kurt, that the school was being attacked. What are you doing here?" His eyes fell onto the head of the Headmaster, Mr. Schue was still holding. "Will, what the fuck did you do?"

"Kurt?" Mr. Schue looked confused. "Why would he be here?"

Kurt looked up from the ground where he was comforting Blaine. "I'm okay dad. Shaken, but okay. But it was the New Directions, dad. They did this."

Burt Hummel surveyed the situation, his face getting harder by the minute. "Get out of here!" He pointed at the jocks and the Cheerios, who scrambled away. "You stay here." He said, indicating to the New Directions and Mr. Schue."

David nodded to Trent and Thad. "Go put Headmaster Wilson in a coffin. He deserves a proper burial."

The two Warblers nodded, and took the severed head from Mr. Schue, before shifting and flying to the Headmaster's office, where the rest of his body was.

Burt turned to Kurt. "What happened here?"

Kurt shifted so he could face his dad, but still comforting Blaine. "A lot." He turned to the rest of the vampires. "The rest of you go to bed. Wes, David, Jeff, and Nick, you guys stay here. Nick, Jeff, why don't you start?"

Jeff sighed. "I had taken Nick outside, so I could ask him to marry me. I did ask just now, and he said yes." Jeff informed Burt. "Before I could ask him, an axe flew through the air and interrupted us. I pulled Nick out of the way, just in time, and we flew to Blaine and Nick's room and woke everyone up."

"After I jumped out of the window." David explained. "I started knocking jocks out. I think of it now as payback for all the times they bullied Kurt." He said, smiling at his friend. "I managed to corner a cheerleader and realized her uniform said WMHS. When I asked her who was here, she said it was the Titans, Cheerios, and the New Directions, except the New Directions organized this. I knew I had to find Mercedes and Kurt to warn them, before a New Direction found them. I had just found Mercedes, when she screamed because she saw Rachel about to stab Blaine with a wooden stake."

"Rachel had cornered Blaine." Kurt explained, knowing his mate was in no shape to talk. "I heard Cedes scream, and was able to get there in time, before Rachel stabbed him. When I realized that it was the New Directions, I knew I couldn't let anyone die. So, I concocted a plan to get everyone to stop fighting. It nearly worked too, until Mr. Schue revealed he killed Headmaster Wilson."

Burt turned his anger on Mr. Schue. "How could you do this Schuester? Do you even know what you've done?"

"He was a monster!" Mr. Schue exclaimed. "He was a danger to the community."

Burt scoffed. "What, by running a school?"

"Mr. Schue is right." Rachel agreed, glaring at the vampires. "Vampires are demons who shouldn't exist."

Kurt stood up, gently pulling Blaine with him, and seething with rage. "I've had enough! Today was supposed to be a good day. I was supposed to go to a party, dance with my friends and my mate, and wake up with my best friend engaged. Instead, I was woken up by the same best friend, who was interrupted during what should have been a romantic time, by humans who attacked unprovoked. The same humans who I considered friends, and includes my brother. Instead, my best friend nearly murdered my mate, and is showing no remorse, instead calling him, and me, a demon who should die. Instead, my ex-teacher murders my Headmaster. So, you wonder why I'm angry. You have no idea the ramifications of what you did." Kurt sat down again, chest heaving, and Blaine clinging to him.

Burt turned to the New Directions. "You are all going to call your parents so we can talk. I don't care how late it is."

"How is he doing?" Mercedes asked Kurt, gesturing to Blaine, while the New Directions called their parents.

Kurt sighed. "He's scared Cedes. You and I both know what will happen if we can't find a new Headmaster. And not what will happen to just Blaine, but a lot of vampires at Dalton. He almost died today."

"We'll figure something out Kurt." Mercedes said, wrapping Kurt in a hug. "You know your dad won't let anything bad happen to Blaine. He practically thinks of Blaine as another son." She sighed. "Now we just need to figure out what's going on with our friends."

David crouched down next to Blaine. "Here's another blood bag. I can tell you're going to need it."

"Thanks David." Blaine sat, sitting up and taking the bag.

"What's going on?" A voice asked. The New Directions parted to reveal Hiram and Leroy Berry standing there, flanked by the other parents. "Why did you call us here at one a.m.?"

Mrs. Jones gasped and hurried over to where Mercedes, Kurt, and Blaine were sitting. "Sweetie, are you okay? Burt told me the school was attacked."

"I'm fine mom." Mercedes answered.

Mrs. Jones' eyes fell on Blaine, noticing the blood bag. "Oh my god, what happened?"

"Rachel Berry happened." Kurt answered.

Mrs. Jones' eyes flashed dark. "I need the whole story."

"I do too." Hiram said, coming to stand next to his daughter.

Burt sighed. "Why don't you tell the parents the story you told me?" He suggested, addressing the vampires.

Jeff sighed. "I had taken Nick outside, so I could ask him to marry me. Before I could ask him, an axe flew through the air and interrupted us. I pulled Nick out of the way just in time, and we flew to Blaine and Nick's room and woke everyone up."

"I started knocking out jocks that were attacking the school." David explained. "I managed to corner a cheerleader, and realized her uniform said WMHS. When I asked her who was here, she said it was the Titans, Cheerios, and the New Directions, except the New Directions organized this. I knew I had to find Mercedes and Kurt to warn them, before a New Direction found them. I had just found Mercedes, when she screamed, because she saw Rachel about to stab Blaine with a wooden stake."

"Rachel had cornered Blaine." Kurt explained. "I heard Cedes scream and was able to get there in time before Rachel stabbed him. When I realized that it was the New Directions, I knew I couldn't let anyone die. So, I concocted a plan to get everyone to stop fighting. It nearly worked too, until Mr. Schue revealed he killed Headmaster Wilson."

"Why would the New Directions attack the school?" Mrs. Chang asked, perplexed.

Kurt sighed. "Because Dalton is a school for vampires."

Leroy turned to them. "So, let me get this straight, this is a school for vampires. You are all vampires. The New Directions attacked your school, and Mr. Schuester killed your headmaster. I take it that's not red Gatorade you're drinking." He said, turning to Blaine.

Blaine shook his head. "No, its rabbit blood." He revealed, causing the Berrys to step back, and Blaine to look confused. "What? It's not human blood. I would never drink that."

"The Berrys are vegan." Kurt explained. "Rachel gets distraught over eggs, so they'll be disturbed by any blood."

Blaine nodded in understanding. "The only reason I need the blood bag is because Rachel scratched me with the stake." He explained. "Since it was a wooden stake, and not a normal weapon, my healing abilities won't work without a blood bag."

Burt cleared his throat. "Something needs to be done. You know I like your kids. But, they almost killed my son's friends and mate unprovoked, and someone did die. There needs to be punishment."

"It was provoked!" Hiram exploded. "Their entire existence provokes us. They're dangerous."

Burt sighed. "Hiram, our kids have been friends for years. You know Kurt's not dangerous."

"That's before I knew he is a fucking vampire!" Hiram exclaimed. "You want to know why I hate vampires? It's because last week, my mother was brutally murdered by one." He revealed.

Carole stepped in. "I think we should wait till tomorrow morning. It's late, and people are trying to sleep."

The parents grumbled, but nodded and left, taking the New Directions with them. Mrs. Jones gave Mercedes one last kiss, before shifting and flying off into the night.

Carole turned to her step-son. "Are there any open rooms for us?"

Kurt nodded. "The room in between Jeff and I's room and Nick and Blaine's room, and the room in between Jeff and I's room and Wes and David's room are both open."

"Let's go to bed." Burt said, leading them towards the school.

Kurt turned to Finn, who was hanging back from the group. "Just because we're vampires Finn, doesn't mean we bite. I'm still me."

"Sorry, dude." Finn apologized, running to catch up to them, and causing Kurt to roll his eyes. "I'm just surprised."

Kurt yawned. "I'm going to collapse when we get back to our dorms."

Blaine wrapped his arm around his mate's waist, feeling a lot better. "We've had a long day."

Kurt stopped Finn and his parents outside the dorm rooms. "I'll see you tomorrow. I love you." He said, before disappearing inside his room with Mercedes and Jeff.

Please review. I love reviews.
