Chapter 10: Forgiveness

The next morning, Kurt, Jeff, and Mercedes exited the room to find Blaine, Nick, Wes, David, and Finn doing the same. "Let's go to breakfast." Kurt said, grabbing Blaine's hand and leading the group down the hallway. "Finn, I want to warn you about something."

"What?" Finn looked alarmed. "Are they going to eat me?"

Kurt rolled his eyes at his step-brother, wishing he had something to throw at Finn. "No one is going to eat you Finn. I wanted to warn you that you'll probably get glares. You did attack the school, and now our Headmaster is dead. They won't do anything to you, but they won't be nice."

The group entered the dining hall, and headed over to the breakfast line. Finn ignored the whispers and icy stares he was getting from the vampires sitting.

"I thought you only drink blood." Finn said, as he watched the vampires eat breakfast.

Kurt threw a grape at Finn's head. "Finn, you've seen Mercedes and I eat all the time."

"We don't drink blood all the time Finn." Mercedes told him. "Yeah we need blood to survive, but we only need some about once a week, unless we're hurt, like Blaine last night. We still need human food though. You think I could live without my tots?"

Finn nodded. "That makes sense. How old are you really?" He asked, turning to Kurt and Mercedes. "I mean, you look my age, but in the Twilight movies, he looks sixteen but is actually one hundred."

Kurt rolled his eyes and threw another grape at Finn. "Don't trust Twilight, Finn. I'm still seventeen. Vampires age like humans till they reach eighteen, then they stop aging."

"Twilight is a terrible example of vampires." Jeff exclaimed. "The glittering in the sunlight, that's ridiculous."

David rolled his eyes. "Great, you got Jeff on Twilight again."

"Okay, I get it. Don't pay attention to Twilight. Why do you keep throwing grapes at me?" Finn asked, confused.

Kurt smirked. "Because it confuses you."

"Kurt like to throw grapes at us when we're being annoying." Blaine explained. "They're easier to carry around then pillows, and he has great aim."

Kurt nodded. "That's true. There's a reason I'm the sniper."

"That was you?" Finn asked, wide-eyed. "That's awesome!"

Kurt chuckled. "Sorry for shooting at you." His face turned serious. "You're okay with Mercedes and I being vampires, right?"

"Of course. It's a little surprising, but it's not anything you can control, like being gay." Finn told him, sincerely.

Kurt smiled. "Thank you Finn. What are you going to do about Rachel?"

"I'll deal with her." Finn said, sighing. "I get why she's mad, but it isn't all vampires' fault. It's like blaming all humans for murder, because some murderers and serial killers exist in the world."

Kurt grinned across the table at his brother, flashing his fangs, glad he didn't have to hide the other fundamental thing about him, other than his sexuality. "Thank you Finn, that means a lot. We have to go though." He said, looking down at his phone. "My dad wants us in the Headmaster's office now."

"Woah." Finn said, looking around Dalton as they walked. "Last night the castle looked scary in the dark, but now it looks cool. Like Hogwarts!"

Mercedes giggled, and Kurt groaned and threw another grape at Finn. Blaine grinned and high-fived Finn. "Great, I have someone who understands my references."

"We don't need to encourage him, sweetheart." Kurt told his mate.

"Where are you getting all the grapes?" Finn asked, confused.

Kurt smiled. "That's for me to know and you to never find out."

"That reminds me." Wes said, reaching into his bag and pulling out a small pouch, before giving it to Kurt. "Ashley made your pouch."

Kurt grinned and pulled grapes out of his pocket, before dumping them into the small pouch. "Tell her thank you for me, Wes." He said, before securing the pouch to his belt.

"Ashley is Wes' girlfriend." Blaine explained. "She's a witch that goes to an all-girls witch school called Brightwood Academy. The pouch she made for Kurt is enchanted to hold any amount of objects. Its like a Mary Poppins pouch." Blaine said, using an example he knew Finn would understand.

Jeff turned to Finn. "We have an important argument we need you to settle."

"What is it?" Finn asked, getting concerned.

Jeff grinned. "What. Is. The best Star Wars movie?"

Kurt groaned and threw a grape at Jeff, who cackled. "That's seriously what you wanted to ask him?"

"What?" Jeff shrugged. "It's an important question."

"Well, I say it's Empire Strikes Back." Finn said, as they walked into the Headmaster's office. "It's a classic."

Suddenly, Finn stopped. Kurt peeked around him and started giggling when he saw all the New Directions, their parents, and his dad, who was raising an eyebrow.

"Now that we're all here." Burt said, as the rest of the vampires filed in. "I suggest that Kurt takes the New Directions somewhere to talk, while I talk to the adults. It's getting crowded in here."

Kurt nodded. "That's a good idea dad. We can go to the interior courtyard." He said, leading the New Directions out.

Finn walked over to Rachel. "Don't annoy Kurt, he'll throw grapes at you." He whispered.

"I heard that Finn Hudson!" Kurt yelled, hitting his brother in the forehead with yet another grape.

Finn looked shocked. "How did you hear that?"

"Vampire hearing, remember." Kurt said, taping his ear.

Finn looked like a deer caught in headlights. "Does that mean you can hear everything that goes on in the house?"

"Yes, I can." Kurt said, looking slightly disgusted. "But that means dad can too. How do you think he knows everything that goes on in the house?" Finn paled and Blaine opened the door to the courtyard, allowing everyone to file in.

Once they were all in the courtyard, Rachel whirled on Finn. "What are you doing being nice to those vampires? Did they turn you too?"

"They are nice guys Rachel. And they're my brother's friends and mate. I'm going to see them a lot." Finn defended.

Rachel looked at him, fury in her eyes. The rest watched it like a tennis match. "They aren't guys, Finn. They are blood sucking, soulless, demons who are the very definition of evil. They're going to murder you in your sleep and drain your blood."

"We're over Rachel!" Finn yelled.

"What?" Rachel looked shocked. "You can't do that Finn. We're endgame."

Finn nodded. "I can and I will. That's my brother you're talking about Rachel, and if we got married, he would be your brother too."

"You can't do this Finn." Rachel protested.

"Enough!" Kurt thundered, causing all the New Directions to squeak in terror. His eyes were completely red and his fangs extended, looking every bit the terrifying creature of the night that Rachel claimed him to be. Blaine rubbed his shoulder, until the red faded back to blue and the fangs disappeared once more. "Sorry," Kurt apologized. "I didn't mean to scare you. I just had no idea how else to stop your arguing."

"You really are a vampire." Tina said, eyes wide, causing Kurt to raise an eyebrow. "I mean, it's one thing to know you are, since you go to this school, but it's another thing to actually see it." She clarified. "I don't mind. You're talking to the girl who dresses goth. I only came along because Rachel dragged all the New Directions along on this."

Kurt turned to Rachel, whose eyes were still wide with fear. "We brought everyone here so we could talk, not so you and my brother could argue about relationship problems. I'm sorry about your grandma." He told her. "I know what it's like to lose someone. But that doesn't mean all vampires are responsible for her death. It's the same way as saying that just because murders and serial killer exist among humans, that every human is a murderer and a serial killer."

"But why didn't you tell us?" Mike asked, confused. "I just don't get it."

Kurt sighed and sat down on a bench. "I didn't, because I knew exactly how Rachel would react. And we all know how good Rachel is at figuring out secrets we're keeping. And I didn't want you to see me or Mercedes as anything different. Most of McKinley already hates me because I'm gay, I didn't want them to hate me because I'm a vampire too." He turned to Rachel. "I'm still mad at you. And I probably will be for a while."

"Me? Why?" Rachel looked shocked.

David rolled his eyes. "Besides the fact that you just called him a soulless, demon of the night? In case you forgot, you almost murdered Blaine. So yeah, Kurt has every right to be mad at you."

"You can come closer." Jeff told the New Directions, who were still standing on the other side of the courtyard. "We don't bite." He said smirking, causing Kurt to throw a grape at him.

Nick rolled his eyes. "Sweetie, I love you, but no more vampire jokes."

"I'm hilarious." Jeff said, smiling. Tina, Mike, Artie, Brittany, and Santana smiled and went to sit next to the vampires on the benches. "Yay!" Jeff cheered. "It worked."

Wes rolled his eyes. "Is your plan to joke until they trust us?"

"Of course." Jeff said, grinning. "I'm the most hilarious person here."

Kurt rolled his eyes and turned to the New Directions. "Ignore them, they're being idiots."

"Says the one throwing grapes at us." Jeff pointed out.

Kurt grinned. "It works."

"I guess you guys aren't all that bad." Santana said, shrugging.

"We aren't that different." Blaine pointed out. "We just have fangs and are immortal. Word of advice, don't compare us to vampires from Twilight, or you'll get one of Jeff's rants."

Mercedes shuttered. "I've had to sit through too many of those."

"Why are you at Dalton anyway?" Tina asked.

"I like to come over here a lot, because the guys are cool and I don't have any other vampire friends." Mercedes explained. "There was a party last night, that Kurt invited me to, and I was staying the night. I would go to the all-girls vampire school, but it's too expensive, and that's why I'm at McKinley."

"There is an all-girls vampire school?" Mike asked, intrigued.

Kurt nodded. "There are a lot of supernatural schools. In addition to Dalton and Willow, the all-girls vampire school, there is an all-girls witch school called Brightwood Academy, an all-boys warlock school called Greengroves Academy, an all-girls werewolf school called Stakes Academy, and an all-boys werewolf school called Aquarius Academy. And that's just in Ohio, there are more around the world. Those schools are who our glee club competes against."

"You have a glee club?" Sam asked, interested.

Blaine nodded. "We're called the Warblers."

"Wow. I didn't know there were so many supernatural schools." Artie said, shocked.

"There kinda have to be." Nick pointed out. "You saw what happened when you found out about Dalton. The schools keep us safe from humans, and occasionally the humans safe from us, when someone goes rogue."

Kurt sighed. "That's probably what happened with your grandma, Rachel. Occasionally, a vampire loses control of their instincts and goes after humans. It doesn't happen often, but it does. Its more common with turned vampires, then born vampires like us. We're going to look for the vampire who killed her, though. A rogue vampire on the loose is very dangerous, and I don't want any more humans to die."

"Like Kurt said, it doesn't happen often." Blaine reassured them. "And usually, when it does, it's a vampire that isn't at one of the schools. Rogue vampires will occasionally turn humans, and when they do, the turned human will go rogue as well, since the schools don't know about it, and can't help the vampire control their urges."

Rachel sighed. "I get it now. I'm sorry for all the horrible things I said to you. I shouldn't have blamed you for something you aren't in control of. Hug?"

Kurt smiled and pulled the New Directions and the vampires into a group hug. When they broke away, Kurt smiled up at his mate. It may take a while for him to fully forgive Rachel for almost killing the love of his life, but they were getting there.

Fun fact, the conversation about which is the best Star Wars movie is an actual conversation that happened in one of my classes.

Please review. I love reviews.
