Chapter 1 The New Transfer

Blaine doesn't understand why everyone was so excited about the new transfer student. He wasn't the first and he wouldn't be the last. Blaine had no time to worry about it, he had his mind filled with his coffee date scheduled for Saturday with Jeremiah and that is all he could think about.

They had, had a really good conversation when Blaine had met him at the gap and then Jeremiah had asked him out for coffee. One of the bad things is that even though he had just turned 20 he still looked like a 17 year old, and Jeremiah was 22. It was a perfect age difference in normal circles, but since he had to play a 17 year old still in high school, Jeremiah might have an issue with the "age" difference.

Vampires stop ageing at 17 they will forever stay looking that age, unless you were a turned vampire then it goes on the age you were at the time of your turning. You never age beyond that, and in most cases you will actually look a little younger than your death age.

People say you shouldn't date unless it is your chosen, your mate, but how do you know unless you go out. He had always been told that it hits you like a bolt of lightning, you just knew, Blaine wasn't sure if this was true, and didn't want to wait anymore for electricity to strike before going out on his first date, experiencing his first kiss. He had just turned 20, and he was tired of waiting.

Maybe he would never find his mate, and he could just spend his time waiting for no reason, he was tired of staying home on Friday and Saturday nights, when his friends, that have already found their mates, were going out. Who knows, maybe lightning doesn't strike for everyone. Jeremiah could very well be his mate, but if he doesn't get to know him better, if he doesn't go out with him, he will never know.

Blaine looks up as his friend, and second sits in the seat beside him with a sigh. "Ok Wes what has Sebastian done now?" That look and that sound from Wes generally could only mean one thing and that was that Sebastian was up to no good.

He had transferred to their coven at the beginning of this school year. He wasn't generally liked, but Blaine's father had asked Blaine to let him transfer in. And when the head of the U.S. covens "asked" you to let someone transfer, you let them transfer. Blaine was over the Ohio coven, he had been granted that privilege the day he turned 18 that was the age of vampire majority. He had chosen Wes, as his second.

Blaine's father was over all of the U.S. covens, Wes's father was Mark, Blaine's father's second. Blaine and Wes had grown up together, trusted each other. Blaine knew that no matter what, Wes had his back, so he in turn had Wes's. Sebastian was in Wes's control,

"Sebastian is all over the new guy" says Wes

"Good" says Blaine "maybe that will keep him off of my ass".

"Come on Blaine, the new kid is human; do you really want Sebastian hanging around him?" "Do you trust him not to spill everything to him" asked Wes.

Dalton was what they laughingly referred to as "co-ed" it had both human and vampire students. All staff were vampires which comes in handy, because human teachers would eventually start to wonder why students, who had the highest GPA in the school, kept repeating senior year. The school was the covens cover; a hiding in plain site kind of thing.

"Ok, I will have a word with him tomorrow after the Warblers meeting, I will tell him to back off until the kid has had time to settle in." sighing Blaine was already dreading tomorrow, usually Friday's made Blaine and all the vampires happy, because that gave them the weekend off where they didn't have to take the same classes over and over. Yes they all knew all the answers, to every single test, given in every single class, by every single teacher, it just got old and repetitive.

"Do we know anything about the new kid yet?" ask Blaine finally showing some interest.

"Not really" said Wes "He seems to be quiet and keeps to himself for the most part. He hasn't really tried to make friends; he is in all AP classes even French. Right now he drives back and forth from Lima every day, but from what I hear he will start boarding next week".

"Wonderful" said Blaine sarcastically. "Another human border, at least we don't have to worry about him being placed in Alexander hall"

Alexander hall was the dorm house that was set up for vampires only, if a human was mated, or the chosen of a vampire, then usually an exception was made and then they are allowed to share the same dorm room. Right now there were 2 such couples, in both instances they were just waiting for the human mate to turn 18 and then they would be changed at that time, and then a mating ceremony would take place.

If the mated couple were male and female like Wes and his wife Sasha, then an exception is made for them as well, so that the wife could live with her husband. They are given a suite in Alexander hall instead of a standard dorm room, not that the standard dorm rooms aren't huge they are, just for the married couples they get extra space and privacy but still allows them to live with their coven.

Females can't be seen at Dalton, since it is an all boy's school, so there is an underground parking area and entrance they use to come and go. That underground entrance is also where the schools blood bank was housed as well. It was owned by the coven, ran as a normal business and supplied local hospitals as well as the school. Fresh deliveries were brought in every other day.

Friday finally came around. Not that Blaine was really all that excited about it, for one after the meeting he had to talk to Sebastian and he usually did his best not to have to talk with Sebastian. Yet one more thing he could blame on the new kid, plus today they would have to sit through the new transfer trying out for the Warblers.

So far no human had been allowed in, not that they were anti human, they were just anti bad singing. All the Warblers had a tone to their voice that allowed their harmonies to flow, which most human voices couldn't achieve. So today they had to sit there and listen to him and hope he wasn't completely terrible.

It was in the coven's bylaws, which unfortunately Blaine had helped institute, that if someone wanted to try out for the warblers, they were afforded that opportunity. That didn't mean that they would be allowed in though, just the opportunity to try.

Blaine had managed to avoid being around the new kid all week, they didn't have any classes together, today would be the first time he would actually see him, and maybe he would finally be able to see why everyone was so fascinated with him, all week long he had heard the thoughts of everyone around him talking mentally about him.

Vampires within a coven are given an extra sensory gift that allows them to hear thoughts meant to be heard, they could have a quiet conversation with their coven members and the humans around them weren't able to hear. Luckily private thoughts were still private, you could choose what you shared, and what you didn't, and vampires outside their coven couldn't hear them at all unless it was a close family member.

Blaine watched him walk in and couldn't stop staring; he was beautiful, ethereal almost with his blue eyes and pale skin.

"Hi my name is Kurt Hummel and I want to try out today for the Warblers",

His voice had a bell like quality to it that sent chills down Blaine's spine. Kurt hooked up his iPod to the speaker dock indicated and he chose his music and started to sing Sara Bareilles song Gravity, his voice was beautiful, wistful and so full of feeling, and then Blaine just knew, he had just seen his future, his present, his everything because in that instant he felt the lightning everyone talked about and the only word on his mind was "MINE" he might as well have shouted it out loud to the coven. Now he just had to convince Kurt.

Every member of his coven heard that single word, most looked at him and smiled happy that he had finally found his chosen. But he also heard "Damn" he looked around to find the person whose thought he heard, he looked at Sebastian, "Do We Have A Problem?" Sebastian just shakes his head no, and walks out of the room.

He would no longer follow after Kurt; everyone knew that once a mate had been chosen, no one would dare try to interfere, even someone like Sebastian. Even he knew that there were some lines you don't cross. Especially if that line was also crossing the leader of their coven, even he didn't have that big of a death wish. Kurt was the first human to ever be admitted into the Warblers.

After the meeting Blaine took out his phone, finds Jeremiah's contact information and calls him to cancel their date Saturday, he was no longer available, he was no longer free to date him, he was now and forever more taken. Once the call is made, he deleted Jeremiah's contact information, he would no longer be needing it.

Blaine goes to the front office, and has Kurt's schedule pulled and has all but 2 of his own classes changed to match Kurt's, he knew he couldn't pull off French, that was the next language he planned to learn, but right now he was taking Latin and it was at the same time as Kurt's French, and he couldn't switch out his 3rd class of the day either, since that was actually his free period, and that was the time he used as office time to take care of Coven business.

Since Kurt would be a boarder, he chose Kurt's dorm room, he chose for it to be in Benton Hall, it was the closest hall to Alexander there was, he would be able to keep an eye on him, keep him safe. Kurt would stay there until Blaine was able to make him his. He didn't know how long that would take, but he planned on trying to win him over beginning Monday morning. Blaine looked at all the vacant dorm rooms in Benton Hall and found the best one. He had to fight with himself not to have someone evicted from their dorm to make room for Kurt.

He now understands how Nick and Jeff felt about each other. He had always felt like their relationship was a little creepy and stalkerish, not now, now he understood completely, it isn't trying to keep tabs on your chosen, or of knowing their every move so you can control them, it is because in your soul you know that you have to keep them safe, you have to keep them near you, they are your other half, without them you are nothing, life outside of them didn't exist.

Nick and Jeff have been mated for 4 years, they married right after Nick was turned when they turned 18. They also have a dorm in the family section of Alexander Hall. Blaine has known Kurt for just over an hour and his life now belongs to Kurt completely. There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for him, nothing he wouldn't give.

Blaine wanted to get Kurt's room set up, so he would be as comfortable as possible, he may or may not have pulled Kurt's home address from his file, he may or may not have looked in Kurt's window before he had a chance to get home that day. He saw the colors that Kurt had in his room and tried to match them. He wanted Kurt to have as little upset in the transfer as possible. For most borders, this is really the first time they are away from home and family.

Blaine replaced the TV and DVD player that come standard in every dorm with a better one. He had it wired with surround sound. He bought and brought in a bed similar to the one he had seen in Kurt's room, he tried to make everything as close to the same as possible. Everything for Kurt had to be perfect; his Kurt deserved the very best.

He found out that Kurt would move in Sunday, Blaine planned on himself, Wes, David, Nick and Jeff, to be on hand to "help" move Kurt's stuff in by coincidence of course. Saturday dragged for Blaine, he knew it was because he didn't like being so far away from his chosen; also it was even harder because said mate had no idea who he was.

Blaine might have "Chosen" Kurt, but Kurt had no idea who Blaine was, and if Blaine was honest, he really didn't know Kurt, getting to know each other was going to be fun, Sunday would be fun, and couldn't get here fast enough.

oOoOo

Sunday was pure hell. Kurt was a little standoffish. Five of the Warblers just happened to be outside "passing a ball" when Kurt and his family pulled up. They walked up to them and introduced themselves, and since they were there they "offered" to help carry everything in. Blaine showed them to Kurt's dorm room, unlocked it and then handed Kurt the key.

One of the first comments made by the woman that was with Kurt was how the color matched his room at home. Blaine smiled at this; the color had been changed Friday night just for Kurt. Under the bed on top of the hardwood floor a large area rug had been put down so that when Kurt got out of bed he would step onto the rug first, before the cold floor.

The tall young guy that was with him, talked about how it was basically set up the same way his room at home was. How the hell did this guy know what Kurt's room looked like at home, you could tell by looking at them they were not related. Blaine didn't like it at all that this tall guy was walking so close to "HIS" chosen.

Who the hell did he think he was? Blaine wanted to knock the smile off of the boys face. The only thing his coven brothers heard from Blaine was "MINE" over and over again. Blaine didn't know who he was but he could happily rip the face off of "Tall Guy" as Blaine has now dubbed him.

Wes had to remind him to calm down. He didn't know the family dynamics; wait until they found out who everyone was before going all cavemen on them. Blaine softly growled in his chest until he felt Wes grab his shoulder hard.

"What in the world is going on with me", Blaine thought and Wes just shook his head. Blaine doesn't act like this, he doesn't lose his cool, he just met Kurt, how had he been hit so hard so fast. It was instant attraction, instant love for a person he didn't know. He had heard about the lightning, but nothing about this, how Kurt had taken him over without even trying.

He already felt like Kurt had been part of his life forever, and knew absolutely nothing about him, nothing other than his name. How was this even possible? This was crazy. He managed to calm himself down on the walk to Kurt's room carrying one of the last boxes that needs to be moved, that was until he saw "Tall Guy" hugging Kurt. Thankfully Wes had the presence of mind to grab him by his belt loop before he got close enough. He had moved quickly out of the room, they had both moved so fast that no one but his coven brothers even knew he had walked in the room.

Blaine was seeing red. Ugg he hated this, where did the jealousy come from, Blaine had never been jealous of anything or anyone in his life. He mentally asked his coven brothers who were all mated if this was at all normal, they just shrugged. Everyone is different, things hit everyone differently.

He calmed himself down, carrying the last box in, he set it down with the rest of the other boxes, and even though they had done a quick introduction at the car, Blaine walked up to the older gentleman, stuck out his hand to shake it.

"Hello Sir my name is Blaine Anderson, I am the lead vocalist of the Warblers and these are my friends Wes, David, Nick, and Jeff. We would like to introduce ourselves and welcome you and your family to Dalton".

Burt stuck out his hand to shake Blaine's

"hey kid, my name is Burt, not sir and this is my family, this is my wife Carole, Kurt's stepmom, my stepson Finn, Kurt's step brother, and of course Kurt."

Blaine shook everyone's hand feeling some of the tension he had been feeling leave his body, step brothers ok that explains it, Blaine was beginning to feel really stupid, Family. Blaine walked over to Kurt and handed him a piece of paper.

"Here is a phone number list for you, Alan will be your R.A. and is available if you have any questions or concerns, also on the list is our numbers", Blaine pointed to himself and the other Warblers

"if you have any questions, or just need to talk to someone, you can call me and I will be happy to talk to you, well any of the guys will. Don't hesitate to call." Blaine said giving him what he hoped was an encouraging smile.

"We will go ahead and leave and give you guys some privacy, it was really nice to meet you all, Kurt I guess we will see you Monday" Blaine said walking out the door. Blaine stopped by Alan's dorm room and knocked. Alan was one of the few vampires that didn't live in Alexander Hall.

All the dorm halls had a vampire R.A. that way someone they knew and trust was available. When Alan opened the door Blaine simply said "He is here please keep an eye on him and call me if he seems upset or if you think he needs anything". Alan just smiled.

OoOoO

Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how you looked at it, Blaine didn't get a call either from Alan or Kurt. Blaine makes sure he was in the cafeteria first thing Monday morning, so he can be there already eating when Kurt shows up.

One by one the Warblers shuffled in, it wasn't that they had to eat human food; just they figured if none of them showed up in the lunchroom, people might start getting suspicious if none of them ate, plus most of them enjoyed the food.

One of Blaine's favorite foods was a western omelet which is what he was eating now. Even with his back to the door that Kurt entered, he knew the second he walked into the room, he could feel him, and he could also pick his heartbeat out of everyone else's.

"Stalker much" laughed Jeff.

Ooops he had planned on the thought being private. He just looked up with an innocent grin and shrugged his shoulders. When Blaine noticed that Kurt was headed to another table, instead of sitting with the Warblers, he stood up and walked over to him,

"if you would like you can come and sit with us, that way we can all get to know each other better".

Kurt followed Blaine to the table all the Warblers were sitting, they sat down and Blaine introduced him to everyone he hadn't already met, and then the conversation took back up from where it was before Kurt joined.

"Crap Nick I forgot, since I was out last week did you get the notes for me for English". Blaine quickly asked.

They had decided that since Blaine hadn't been in any of Kurt's classes last week, it would look funny if all of a sudden he was in most of them. They had decided to say that Blaine had to be away last week on a family emergency.

All the teachers were aware of the story, and were ready to back it up. Nick looked at him with a grin and passed the nonexistent notes to Blaine in an empty blue folder that he quickly put in his messenger bag.

He didn't need notes; he knew the full curriculum for all the classes he would now be in. Lucky for Blaine Jeff was in Kurt's French class, and Nick was in his 3rd period math class, the only 2 that Blaine couldn't switch.

"What English class are you talking about" Kurt asked looking at Blaine.

"First period with Mrs. Johnson, she hates me" Blaine laughed, that was such a lie.

"I am in that class too, so, if you want to sit by me I can help you if you miss something". Kurt couldn't believe he had just done that, surely Blaine had more important people he would want to spend time with.

Blaine looked at him and smiled "I would really appreciate that"

They all finished their breakfast and separated to go to class; Nick, Jeff, Kurt and himself heading toward first period English Nick and Jeff mentally laughing at him "she hates me Hahaha, she worships you and you know it". He shot them a look and they both just laughed. When they got to class with Kurt walking in front of him heading to a seat he looked at Mrs Johnson and winked at her. She quickly smiled at him.

"Well, look Mr. Anderson has deemed us worthy of showing up for class today."

Blaine went and sat next to Kurt "Ouch you weren't kidding she really doesn't like you". Blaine just looked at him and shook his head.

Kurt looked behind them at Nick and Jeff, "They are so open with their relationship, doesn't anyone have a problem with it?"

Blaine looked at him a little shocked "why would they"

"Mr. Anderson, do you have something you would like to share with the class" she looked at him lifting one brow.

Blaine just stared at her "No Mrs. Johnson", but in his head he was laughing, looking at her "You are enjoying this way too much".

"How many times do I get the opportunity to talk back to the boss" she answers back.

Jeff leaned forward whispering in a sing song voice, "someone's in trouble", before snickering.

They all sit quietly, listening to Mrs Johnson until the bell rings. They all got up and exited the room. Kurt was happy to find out that Blaine was in his geography class as well, he knew Nick and Jeff where but since Blaine was out last week, he didn't know if he was.

After geography, as he was headed to math he was sad to see Blaine and Jeff heading in the opposite direction. Jeff stopped and quickly kissing Nick goodbye before heading to his next class. Kurt was still really thrown by this; he wasn't used to seeing it. It would be nice to have that kind of relationship where he could walk down the hall holding the hand of his boyfriend, but he didn't see that happening anytime soon.

Kurt and Nick head into math class, manage to get a seat by each other. "So, is Blaine dating anyone, does he have a girlfriend", trying to play it cool, wanting to know if Blaine was gay even if he knew he was way out of his league.

Nick looked at him, and said "No, he isn't dating anyone and no he doesn't have a girlfriend" Nick knows that Blaine is out and proud, but it wasn't his place to inform Kurt.

In his office, getting ready to do a conference call with his dad, brother and other members of their extended family Blaine was doing a happy dance. Kurt had asked about him, and from the cadence of Nick's thoughts, he really sounded interested. He was beyond excited, he wanted, no needed to have Kurt like him.

Blaine managed to get his mind back on business just as the conference began. He knew he was going to have to meet with his parents soon and let them know about Kurt. They were going to be happy for him. His mom has been wondering for a while when he was going to get his mate, she had started to get worried; most vampires had already found their chosen by the time they reached his age.

After his meeting he meets up with the other three for 4th period and then they headed to lunch. Kurt was surprised when he sat down, instead of Blaine sitting by one of his friends he opted to sit with him. They talked about everything favorite songs, favorite singers, and favorite foods. They played 20 questions all the way through lunch, and Kurt was starting to like Blaine more and more, they had so much in common.

After they separated this time Nick stopping to kiss Jeff before turning around and heading with Blaine to their next class and Kurt and Jeff were heading in to French. Kurt was happy when he found out that Blaine would be in the rest of his classes. After school they all head to the senior commons, so they can talk.

Blaine looks at him, "So what brings you to Dalton, not that we aren't glad you are here but we want to learn more about you."

Kurt looks at him, he hadn't known him that long, did he dare give the real reason he had left. Blaine didn't seem to have a problem with gay people, from what he had seen Nick and Jeff were his 2 of his best friends. He just really didn't know what to say, or where to start.

"I transferred from McKinley. I was the only openly gay kid there, about two years ago a jock transferred in; he made it his personal mission to make my life a living hell."

He saw Nick and Jeff set up straight, but Blaine just moved in a little closer.

"Before he got there I was getting thrown in a dumpster daily, but that had stopped. Finn and his friend Noah joined glee and stopped doing it".

Blaine was upset but was working not to show it "Wait a minute you're telling me that your step brother was throwing you in dumpsters and allowing someone else to do so as well"

Nick saw how agitated Blaine was getting and put his hand on his shoulder and removed it again before Kurt was even aware it happened to calm him down.

"That was before he was my step brother, once he joined glee he stopped and then when Noah who goes by Puck, when he joined he stopped and they both became somewhat protective."

"Then Karofsky transferred in and things got 10 times worse. I was getting slushies thrown in my face daily. I had to keep extra clothes in my locker all the time so I would have something to change in to."

"But then I was getting locker checks several times a day, I had bruises all over my back and upper arms".

"I managed to hide it from my dad because he recently had a heart attack and I couldn't take the chance of him getting sick again so I didn't say anything".

"Then what happened", Blaine's voice getting thick with rage trying to control himself, he was angrier than he had ever been in his life.

Kurt just looked at him and his voice lowered almost as if in fear, "One day I had had enough, I wanted it to stop and I knew I was the only one that could make that happen, he shoved me hard into the locker, harder than he ever had before, it made me really mad, I'm not even sure why I did it, but I followed him into the locker room and asked him what his problem was, he made some comment about me wanting to look at his junk. I told him he wasn't my type and then he tried to kiss me, I managed to push him off, and he cussed and ran out."

Kurt heard a sharp intake of breath and then Blaine was up and out of his chair, with Nick and Jeff beside him, whispering things he couldn't hear.

Blaine came back sat down looked at Kurt "I am sorry about that, go ahead".

Kurt just looked at him, "for a few days he stopped and left me alone, and then one day he came up to me at my locker and told me that if I told anyone he was going to kill me.

This time it was Nick and Jeff that jumped up, Blaine just sat there so beyond pissed, he was talking to his coven brothers.

"I am going to track him down; he is going to die tonight. He threatened and dared to lay hands on my chosen"

Jeff looked at him and reminded him that he hadn't been his chosen when it had happened so he couldn't do that. Any future acts could be met with swift punishment, but this one had to pass.

All this happened within seconds, Blaine was angrier than he had ever been in his life, someone had laid a hand on his Kurt, this would not go unpunished, He wouldn't kill him but he would pay.

"I am so sorry you had to go through that" Blaine softly says, keeping his anger in check.

"That is not something you will ever have to worry about here, if you want to hold someone's hand, give them a kiss that is never frowned upon. You can be open about who or what you are with no judgment. I myself can vouch for this as can Nick and Jeff. No I haven't held hands with anyone walking down the halls yet, but I have never been persecuted for being gay, and neither will you.

Kurt just looked at him, Blaine had just openly admitted he was gay, not that he had a chance with him, but it did make a difference.
