Kurt walks slowly kicking small stones with Mercedes into the woods. He unusually likes the scene and serenity of the woods. Mercedes catches the latern carefully,lest she should burn the forest. 'Uh..Kurt,mind if I ask something?' Mercedes speaks after taking so much courage. 'Yes, go on effie' Kurt with a curiosity.
'Are you OK?'she asks. 'Why yes,unless I am admitted in an asylum for murdering you' Kurt chuckles. Mercedes tries not to bring the bills into the matter,'I am serious Kurt, is something troubling you?'
Kurt thinks for the words'well with occasional loneliness and swear words,I'm fine'. Mercedes doesn't want to talk further about it and she starts to hum as he holds Kurt's hand. Mercedes looks worried if Kurt is facing too much of loneliness. She helps Kurt in every possible way ,but she knows she can't fill the spot in Kurt's heart,a person to whom he entrust every single thing.
They hear some disturbance suddenly behind the large Oak tree. They panick together lest it should be a fierce animal .Kurt moves with a little curiosity;he extends his hand behind the tree and he feels a hand ,a five digited hand. For the first time in his life,kurt feels some weird emotion . It is pleasant,soft ,something which cannot hurt him. The hand moves and kurt sees 2 figures running. Faint latern lamp shows a shorter person,dressed in a uniform with red piping. Curiosity,excitement replaced the place of fear. He finds it weirdly protective. Mercedes runs in fear and kurt has to run behind her. Who was it?what was tickling him?
'Where did you guys get lost?' Nick asks in curiosity. Blaine and dave look at each other for an answer. 'Uh..derailed unintentionally. Got a little lost!' .Jeff knows blaine is lying ,but he pretends to believe it.
'Hey,call all the warblers,how about we play spin bottle?' Jeff asks. Everybody agrees and the warblers gather around the bonfire. The game is on fire from the start. Insane tasks are given to each people by different members. Dave asks Jeff to kiss trent on lips which makes nick jealous. 'I like the taste of that!'trent chuckles as Jeff dies inside. Jeff asks dave to paint his own face with charcoal and everybody is laughing hysterically. 'I cannot tell the difference between you and that tree' nick chuckles as everybody laughs.
It is trent's turn to blaine now. 'Blaine you're gonna speak about your girlfriend. Who is she?' Everybody is eagerly expecting for the answer. They are sure that blaine is dating someone .if not,it is a shame for blaine's beauty. Blaine clears his throat to speak,he feels a lump in his throat.'uhh..Well, there is this girl called Jane. She's my dad's rich client's daughter. I am seeing her for 3 months'
'Oooooh,fancy life huh,blaine? Have you gone for a date with her?' Trent teases. 'Oh ,no. I like her though boasting so much about her fortunes and rich friends. Went for three dates with her. Had our first kiss at the summer carnival' blaine says this with nervousness as others just cheer him with oohs and applause. Blaine finds so uncomfortable with his own words. He feels like throwing up any minute. Blaine gets up and gets excused by others.
Tears fall from blaine's eyes. He knew it was a big lie ,or atleast half truth. He is dating Jane for the satisfaction of her,his family,mostly importantly his dad's reputation. He wasn't ready for the consequences if he comes out,he didn't want to ruin his reputation. But living a life which is a lie is killing him slowly. He feels dead inside.Only if he can have a light house in his life...
Blaine changes into his night suit,he decides to skip the bonfire dinner and just lie in his sleeping bag. He finds confusion, rage ,sadness and sympathy on himself conquering his mind. He decided to focus on the dream and the touch in the woods. He weirdly feels so protected though he isn't sure what exactly it is.
Dave walks in to get his mystery solved.'Blaine,are you all right?you are acting weirdly..' 'uhh ..nothing dave ,just tired'.blaine says. Dave knows something is fishy.
'Oh hey,I am happy for your girlfriend. But weren't you dating lizzy?' Dave with his eyebrows raised.
'Uhh...we broke up.she is having a new boyfriend now..' Blaine says. Something is fishy. Among all the chaos ,blaine goes to sleep and finds to get greeted by the same dream of vaguity.
Kurt's heart is slowing down back to normal after that adventurous run. 'Where did you go?why did you run like this?' Questions are shot towards kurtcedes.
'Just for a walk and we got scared of some animal in the woods. We ran back here.' They said. 'Oh my god,did you get hurt?Tina in horror. 'No,not yet' Kurt's says.
The rest of the evening goes around campfires,marshmallows, some beverages,cooking . Kurt is liking this more for a change,except for the occasional ruining of his clothes.
Next morning comes to wake them up . Kurt wakes from Mercedes' shoulders . The chaos of the day starts again with all people. The girls and boys take turns for a river bath in groups . Kurt chooses to bath separately from the group. All are confused with this,but they leave kurt. The end of the camp week is approaching with all adventures,crazy photos,memories , quarrels and happy moments like fresh baked goods, to be taken back with them
Blaine has a panic attack again. The dream is driving blaine nuts . He wants to help the person,but he couldn't. He feels safe ,with concern touch with the slow dance ,but when it goes to seeing the blood,he gets terrified. Who needs him? What is it saying?
The subsequent days are going with all fun with blaine turning into a big of all intense emotions- the guilt of living a fake life,the frustration and the comfort from the dream,the serenity in camping and being out of his house, a kind of emptiness.
The final day of camp has arrived and the Dalton boys are packing up after their 1 week show.With all lessons learnt and fun,happiness,memories taken back ,they are heading towards their home ,the Dalton academy.
Blaine is exhausted with all the things that happened at the camp ,all good and bad things and he needs a nap right now.
Blaine takes his art notebook-a special notebook to show all his artistic talents.sketching a camp memory from his camera,he falls asleep.
He finds himself again hearing the songs playing ,just the tune,not the lyrics . He feels somebody holding him from his back,the hands around his waist. Blaine turns slowly towards to the human holding him. This time,he could see the figure's mouth surrounded by porcelain like skin. The soft lips is so beautiful,that blaine took time to realise the bruises around the lips. Blaine notices bruises slowly appearing on the hands too. He continues to slow dance until the figure falls vaguely on the ground with blood all around .
Blaine wakes up triggered. This time he doesn't shout. But this dream confuses and frustrates him more.
'Who was it? How did the bruises come ?why am I feeling comfortable with this human?' These questions hit Blaine like a bus and he couldn't answer them
