Chapter 1: The Rescue


Blaine blinked open his eyes to see the stark, white ceiling above him. He groaned, not sure what had happened.

"You're awake." Said a soft voice next to him.

Blaine rolled over to see his mother, sitting in a chair next to him. "Mom, what happened?"

"You were crossing the street." She explained. "A drunk driver ran a red light and hit you." She frowned. "You don't remember?"

Blaine shook his head. "The last thing I remember is sitting in class."

She patted his hand. "I'm going to go get the doctor okay?"

Blaine nodded and she stood up and left. A few minutes later, she returned with the doctor. He was young, with black hair and green eyes, and dressed in scrubs with a face mask around his neck and gloves on. "I'm going to ask you a few questions, okay?" He said. Blaine nodded. "What's your name?"

"Blaine Anderson."

"What grade are you in?"

"Ninth." Blaine's mother frowned, but Blaine wasn't sure why.

"Where do you go to school?"

"Stanton High School."

"What's your brother's name?"

"Shane Anderson."

"Okay Blaine." The doctor said, writing a few things down on his clipboard. "You seem to be suffering from amnesia due to the brain trauma from the accident. Your memories should come back, with exposure to friends and familiar settings before the accident. Other than that, your injuries healed up fine. You were in a coma for a week. I'm going to sign some papers and you should be good to leave. Any questions?"

Blaine's eyes were wide. He may not know much about medicine, but he knew what amnesia meant. "How many years did I forget?"

"Two years."

A nurse came over with a wheelchair and Blaine's mother helped him into it, and wheeled him out of the room.

"I'm so glad you're okay." She told him as they walked. "We thought we lost you."

"I'm fine mom." Blaine assured her. "Except for my memory loss, but that'll will come back eventually." His mom just nodded.


When they got home, Blaine noticed right away something was off. "It seems quiet in here." He commented. "Where's Shane?"

Blaine's mom sighed. "Shane goes to a boarding school in Ohio now, it's called Dalton Academy. He wanted to come, but he has finals, so he couldn't."

A look of panic crossed Blaine's face. "What about my finals? Am I going to be held back a year?"

"No." She assured him. "You had just finished your finals when the accident happened. Don't worry, you did great on them."

Blaine yawned. "I'm kinda tired. I'm going to go take a nap."

"You go do that." She told him.


Several hours later, Blaine was woken up by banging outside his window. It was dark out now, and Blaine sleepily registered he had missed dinner. He poked his head out of the window, to see his dad nailing bars over the top of the window, his mom standing next to him. "What's going on?" Blaine asked, bewildered.

"This is for your own good." His father told him. "You can leave your room again when the summer is over, so you can go to school."

"How is imprisoning me good for me?" Blaine asked, shocked.

His mother shook her head. "Listen to your father. He knows best."

Blaine sprinted from his window and tried the bedroom door, which was also locked. For the first time, Blaine noticed his locks had been flipped, so someone could lock him in, instead of him locking them out. It struck Blaine that his parents must have been planning this. Not sure what else to do, he collapsed on his bed and went to sleep.


The next time Blaine woke up, several hours later, it was due to a soft knocking on his window. He blearily walked over, and opened the window to be met with two faces. Two twins, with bright blonde hair and ice blue eyes, stared back at him. "Can I help you?" Blaine asked, confused.

"I'm Ethan Brightman and this is Evan Brightman." One of the twins said, pointing to his brother.

"Your brother sent us. We're here to break you out."

Blaine looked at them oddly. "And how are you going to do that with the bars in front of my window?"

One of the twins smirked and held up a saw. "We are pros at breaking into places. That's why your brother asked us." He took the saw and started sawing away at the metal bars. Surprisingly, the bars began to break.

"Grab your phone and get ready to leave." The other twin told him.

"I'm in a Harry Potter movie." Blaine muttered, before grabbing his phone and slipping on his shoes.

The twins finished sawing away the bars, and set them on the ground, so they wouldn't make noise. Blaine hopped out of the window, and landed softly on the ground next to them.

"See that car down there." One of the twins said, pointing to the only car on the street. Blaine nodded. "On our signal, run like hell to the car and jump in the front passenger seat. One, two, three, go."

Blaine sprinted down the street, past his house, the twins right behind him, and jumped into the front passenger seat. The Asian boy who was in the driver's seat looked over at Blaine, as the twins hopped in the backseat.

"Drive you Hare, drive!" One of the twins yelled, and the Asian boy rolled his eyes, but peeled away from the curb.

"I don't want to get caught either, Tweedles," he told them. "But who would be awake at three a.m.?"

The twins shrugged. "I don't know, but they might have a security system like we do."

"We don't have a security system." The Hare corrected them. "We have the Caterpillar, who has hidden cameras around the school. Except that didn't do shit for Hell Night, since Adam was a student."

The twins grinned. "First rescue mission was a success, and we rescued the Rabbit. Unless you count Pavarotti as a rescue mission."

The Hare shook his head. "Pavarotti wasn't a rescue mission. It was kidnapping a bird from Stuart. I say that as someone part of that mission. Rescuing the Rabbit, now that's a rescue mission."

"We don't have a security system." Blaine pointed out. "Where is my brother? You said he sent you."

"He did." The Hare said. "If it wasn't for Shane, we wouldn't know that you were being held against your will. He's where we are heading. I'm Wes by the way, I know the twins keep calling me the Hare."

"Where are we heading?" Blaine asked, extremely confused by the whole situation.

"Ohio of course." One of the twins said. "Where else would we be heading?"

Blaine looked at them oddly. "We're driving all the way to Ohio?"

Wes shook his head. "The twins have a private plane."

"Alice and the Little Bat can explain everything when we get to the plane." One of the twins said mysteriously, leaving Blaine even more confused than he already was.

"But why are you taking me to Ohio?" Blaine asked, confused. "I go to Stanton. And why are you all coming, if I'm just the brother of your friend?"

Wes looked at him. "They didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"You go to Dalton, Rabbit." One of the twins said. "We knew you long before we knew Shane. We're coming to help rescue you because you are our friend."

Wes pulled into an airfield, where a large jet was parked, and parked near the jet. An African-American boy was standing at the top of the stairs, next to the door.

"Was it a success?" He yelled out, as the group exited the car, and some servants came to load the car onto the plane.

"What do you think Hatter?" One of the twins yelled out, gesturing to Blaine. "Of course it was a success."

The Hatter smiled. "You better come up Blaine. Your brother is waiting."

Blaine hurried up the stairs, and past the Hatter, who smiled at him, and into the large jet. Before he had a chance to even look around, he was accosted by Shane, who pulled him into a hug. "I'm so glad you're okay Blaine." His brother told him. "When I learned what mom and dad planned to do to you, I knew I had to do something."

"And you certainly did something all right." Blaine said chuckling. "But I thought you had finals? I had already had mine, but thats why mom said you couldn't come down."

Shane looked at him oddly. "I haven't had finals yet, and neither have you. Damn." Shane muttered. "Another thing our parents lied about."

"Are you honestly surprised Shane?" An unknown voice called out. "We all know what your parents are like."

Blaine looked over to see where the voice came from, and stopped himself from gasping. The boy was the most beautiful boy Blaine had ever seen. He had porcelain skin and perfectly coifed, chestnut hair. And his eyes, god those eyes. They were an enchanting swirl of green, blue, and grey, making it impossible for Blaine to tell what color they actually were. He was dressed in a black shirt, with silver chain belts, and grey, knee high boots. His pants were black, and looked like they had been painted on. He was leaning against one of the couches, arms crossed.

Shane nodded. "Unfortunately, you're right Kurt. Unfortunately for my parents, they made the terrible decision of telling me what they were going to do to Blaine."

Blaine looked back and forth between the two of them. "The twins in the car said that the Little Bat and Alice would explain."

Kurt rolled his eyes, but headed in another direction, Shane and Blaine following. He opened a door and led the two brothers into a small bedroom. It had a twin size bed with a side table on one side, and a dresser against the opposite wall.

"This is the room the twins allow people to use if they have to get away." He explained. "I'm Alice and Shane is the Little Bat." Kurt sat down on the bed and faced Blaine. "The twins had us tell you the story since we're the only two who know it."

"What story?" Blaine asked, confused.

"The story of how you ended up at Dalton." His brother explained. "I'm sure you are wondering how you moved schools."

Blaine nodded. "Last I remember, I was sitting in class, with Erin, Micah, and Jude. I don't know why I would leave. I mean, our lives aren't perfect, we're three gay teens. But, our lives aren't that bad that I would transfer to another school in Ohio."

Kurt nodded. "I know what you mean. I was the same way, until it led to death threats."

Blaine gasped. He couldn't image someone wanting to kill Kurt. He didn't know him well, but he felt like he had known him for a long time and he couldn't believe someone would want to kill such an amazing person. But something about Kurt's statement made Blaine think something equally as terrible had happened to his friends.

"What happened to the Fab 5?" Blaine asked, scared to know the answer.

Shane sighed. "Has Erin started dating Becca yet?"

"Yeah, last week." Blaine said, nodding. He liked the other girl. She had stood up for Erin and was witty and funny. She was a great girl for his best friend.

"It was Halloween your sophomore year." Shane continued. "You, me, Erin, Becca, Micah, and Jude were all at Becca's house hanging out. Jude left as the party was winding down, but he never made it home."

Blaine gasped, and sobs escaped his throat. He sank down on the bed, and Kurt wrapped his arms around him. It seemed impossible, Jude gone. The same boy that Blaine remember running around yesterday with his camera. Except it wasn't yesterday, it was two years ago, because of the fucking amnesia. He looked up at Shane, gesturing for him to continue.

Shane sighed. "He was jumped in an alley. Someone found him and took him to the hospital, but it was too late. We never found out who did it. Jude had his camera with him, like always, and we assume he got photos, but the camera was smashed to pieces. The police attributed it to a mugging, but we all know the truth, it was a gay bashing." Shane ran his hand through his hair. "After Jude's death, we all fell apart. Erin and Becca ran away to San Francisco. Micah and I got reckless. You always told us to not make out in the living room, since anyone could walk in."

"Wait." Blaine said, stopping him. "You're gay?"

Shane blinked. "I haven't come out yet?"

Blaine shook his head. Kurt turned to Shane. "Well you have a better understanding of what Blaine forgot."

"Well, now you know I'm gay." Shane said, picking up the story. "One day, a couple of months after Jude's death, I had gone into the kitchen to get food, and Micah was shirtless on the couch, when dad came home early. I could see everything from the kitchen, but you told me to stay in there. You took the fall for me, since you were the favorite son. You told dad that Micah was your boyfriend. Dad kicked Micah out of the house and told him to never talk to us again. We learned a few months ago that he outed Micah to his parents, who sent him to a gay conversion camp. Micah escaped when the camp sent them to a book convention in San Francisco and he ran into Erin and Becca. After dad kicked Micah out, he took beating the gay out of you literally." Blaine gasped and a sob escaped his throat. He buried his face in Kurt's shoulder, who rubbed his back soothingly. "Mom did intervene when you started bleeding, which was fifteen minutes later, and I had to watch the whole thing from the kitchen. After that, I was the only member of the family who acknowledged your existence. You even told me to stay away from you at school, since you didn't want the same thing to happen to me that happened to Jude. I already got enough shit just for being your brother. When you began looking at other schools, I knew it was over. Mom and dad didn't care that you were moving to Ohio, they wanted you as far away from them as possible. Once you left, I started looking at boarding schools since I couldn't stand to be in that house without you. I went to Walcott, which was a co-ed school in Colorado."

Blaine looked at him oddly. "I thought you go to Dalton."

Shane nodded. "I'll get to that. You went to Dalton and I went to Walcott. Everything was normal, well as normal as Windsor can be, until last year. I went on a rock climbing trip in the Rockies with my class, when there was a rockslide. They didn't find me until several days later, and if it wasn't for Dwight and his unusual methods, they might have never found me."

"Dwight is a Windsor." Kurt explained at Blaine's confused expressions. "He's asleep in the other room, he hates flying."

"After the rockslide, I came back to Westerville, where Dalton is located so I could rehabilitate. We have a house there. I became friends with all the Windsors and decided to transfer here. I've been a Dalton student for about two weeks."

"Well that and my best friend." Kurt said, smirking, causing him to get hit in the face with a pillow.

"You mentioned that we learned what happened to Micah a few months ago. What happened?" Blaine asked.

"Ah." Kurt smiled. "Every year Dalton holds a Valentine's Day Fair. All the houses have booths there, and they compete to see who will raise the most money. Hanover usually wins. People from outside Dalton come and it's a lot of fun. Erin, Becca, and Micah had learned about it and came to find you. The twins ran into them and that's how we learned what happened."

Shane pulled his brother up from the bed. "Let's go. You'll want to meet everyone."

"It's a little weird." Blaine said, as they exited the room. "Everyone knows me but I don't know them."

Kurt bumped his shoulder. "It will be okay. Everyone understands. Though I can see the twins taking this opportunity to try and get away with things."

The three boys walked back into the main part of the airplane, causing everyone to look up. The Hatter from before waved Shane over. "Shane, want to play Dance Dance Revolution with me?"

Shane grinned. "Of course." He ran over to where the Hatter was. Wes and the twins were on one side, getting ready to cheer on the Hatter.

Kurt pulled Blaine over to a couch, where a boy with curly, strawberry-blonde hair was sitting, to cheer on Shane. The other boy leaned over to Kurt. "Who do you think we'll win this time?"

Kurt thought for a second. "I honestly don't know. Shane's leg is finally completely healed, otherwise I would say David will win, so I don't know. I haven't seen Shane play since his leg completely healed." Kurt turned to Blaine. "David and Shane are two of the best dancers in the Warblers, and they constantly like to play Dance Dance Revolution. It's even more interesting when Katherine, David's fiancé, joins in."

The other boy chuckled. "I remember when you got Brittany and Mike to play. That was wild." He leaned over to Blaine. "I'm Reed by the way."

Cheering arose from Wes and the twins, and Kurt, Reed, and Blaine looked up to see that while they were talking, David had beat Shane. Shane pouting, dropped down on the seat next to Reed. Suddenly, Kurt's phone began to ring. He pulled it out to see the name Cedes flashing across. Kurt grinned. "Mercedes is calling. She probably wants to see how everything went."

Kurt answered the call to reveal an African-American girl, who smiled. "Hey Kurt! How did it go?"

"Good." Kurt said, grinning. "Blaine's next to me."

Blaine leaned over so she could see him and waved. "Hi, I'm Blaine. But you already knew that."

"I'm Mercedes." She said, smiling. "Kurt's best friend from McKinley, his old school."

David, Wes, and the twins looked up from where they were on the other side of the plane and ran over, both twins leaning over each of Kurt's shoulders. "We want to say hi to the talking flower." They said upon explanation.

Kurt chuckled. "I'm going to connect you to the T.V. Cedes, since everyone wants to say hi." Kurt fiddled with a couple of buttons, before Mercedes' face popped up on the T.V.

"Hi Windsors." She said, waving back.

Kurt looked at the time, before looking oddly at his best friend. "Why are you calling at six in the morning? Shouldn't you be at school?"

Mercedes nodded. "I'm actually heading towards the choir room right now. The New Directions want to say hi. We're all coming over after school today. We don't have a break like you guys do." She said, jokingly glaring at the Windsors, who smiled.

"Is that Hummel?" Blaine heard from the phone. Seconds later, a Jewish looking boy with a Mohawk appeared in front of the phone.

"Hi Noah." Kurt said, waving at him. "Why did you steal Cedes phone?"

"I wanted to see if you got the hobbit." He said, as way of explanation. Blaine assumed he meant him.

Kurt sighed. "Yes, we got Blaine. Cedes said you all were planning to come over this afternoon."

The phone was taken again, and this time it ended up in the hands of an Asian goth girl, an Asian boy sitting next to her. "We are. We haven't seen you guys in a while, so it's the perfect time to visit."

"Hi Tina, Mike." Kurt said, waving at them. "Who else is there?"

The phone moved again, until it was in front of a tall blonde girl, who was sitting in the lap of a Latina girl. Both girls were wearing cheerleading uniforms. "Hi dolphins!" The blonde girl said, excitedly. "Kurtie, you got your dolphin back."

Kurt smiled at her. "Hi Brittany, Santana."

"It's good you got the hobbit." The Latina girl said, nodding. "We'll see you this afternoon Hummel."

Throughout the entire exchange, Blaine was perplexed. Shane leaned over. "That's just kinda how they are. You'll get used to it."

Mercedes took the phone back. "Well, we have to go to class soon Kurt. But we'll see you this afternoon."

All the Windsors waved goodbye, and Mercedes hung up. Kurt turned to Blaine, who was still a little confused. "Don't worry, they all really like you. That's just how they show it."

Kurt wandered away with Reed to do something, from the sounds of their conversation, it sounded like they were discussing fashion. Wes and David had started playing Halo, the twins cheering them on. And Dwight was still sound asleep in the chair. Shane slid over to Blaine, who was watching Kurt as he walked away. "Something on your mind?"

Blaine nodded. "I think I like Kurt. I know I've only known him for a couple of hours, but I really like him. I feel like I've known him forever."

But Shane simply smiled cryptically. "That's good." He said, before walking away to watch the Halo game, leaving Blaine to ponder his brother's message.


A couple of hours later, the plane touched down, making Blaine look up in suprise. "That seemed fast." He said to Kurt, still confused.

"The twins' plane is faster than a normal jet." Kurt explained. "That's the other reason we took it, besides it being the only way we could sneak you out of California without anyone knowing."

Dwight, who had been sound asleep up until that moment, jumped up before he realized that they had touched down.

The twins stood in front of the door with a clipboard in their hands. "Blaine, you're in Kurt's car with Reed and Shane." Blaine nodded. "Wes and David, you're in our car."

The door opened, and Blaine stepped out into the bright Ohio sun. Kurt led the group over to his car, which was a black Navigator. Reed and Shane hopped quickly into the back seat, leaving Blaine with the front passenger seat. As they all got in, Shane and Reed dissolved into giggles in the back seat.

Kurt scowled at them. "If I had a pillow, I would throw it at you two."

Blaine fiddled with the radio, before settling on a pop station. The words of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, filtered out and Blaine bopped along with the music. "I like this song." Causing Shane and Reed to break out into another set of giggles.

Kurt rolled his eyes. "Ignore them, they're just trying to be annoying."

Blaine thought back to something Mercedes had said on the plane ride. "What did Mercedes mean by the fact we have a break?"

"Oh." Kurt lit up. "Dalton gives students the last week before finals off, so we can study. At least, that's what it's supposed to be used for, no one really does. It's also the reason we could go get you from California. Chaz, our prefect, knows we are doing this, so he left the doors open for us."

"You will be fine to take your finals." Shane filed in from the back seat. "The doctor said you didn't lose any knowledge, just memories of specific events."

Kurt turned down a road, and soon they were in front of a large building that reminded Blaine of Hogwarts. "Is this Dalton?"

Kurt nodded. "That's South and Main, where we have classes. We dorm in a different building."

He pulled around the corner, and in front of a large gate. Kurt scanned his ID, before the gate opened and he pulled through. They drove through the Dalton grounds, until they stopped in a parking lot in front of a large, mansion like building. Kurt parked the car and the whole group got out. As they were walking towards the building, a voice called out. "Hey Windsors!"

Blaine turned around to see another boy walking towards them. He had gelled back, blonde hair and piercing green eyes

Kurt crossed his arms in indifference. "What do you want Logan?"

"I heard about Blaine." Logan said, turning to the other boy. "I'm glad you're back." He told him. "It's good to see you."

"Thanks Logan." Blaine said, smiling.

"Let's go." Kurt said, tugging on Blaine's elbow and continuing the walk towards the mansion.

"What was that?" Blaine asked, confused.

"That was Logan Wright." Shane explained. "Or the Knave, as the twins like to call him. He's also your ex."

"And a huge dick." Kurt muttered. Kurt led the group up to the doors, Wes, David, the twins, and Dwight joining them. He turned to Blaine. "Welcome to Windsor." Before pulling the door open and allowing Blaine to step inside.

I will be updating this pretty regularly, along with my other stories, since I'm not going back to school until end of August. I have online school, but that doesn't last long, and I'm on spring break for a week. It's a pretty boring spring break, since I can't do anything, but it is what it is and now I have way too much time on my hands.

Please review. I love reviews.
