Chapter 8
The day started off like any other day. Rachel's dads were absent for the weekend, so she invited Kurt and Mercedes to a sleepover at her place. "This is going to be a lot of fun!", Rachel squealed delightedly. "We can make a musical marathon and try out hairdos and…" At this moment, Mr. Schue entered the choir room with a high stack of sheets of music and Rachel quickly shut her mouth. Blaine leaned to Kurt. "Today is going to be a full moon. Do I need to remind you what happened two months ago on a full moon? I couldn't change back. And last month, our powers changed. I think we better beware of full moons from now on. Cancel that sleepover!", he whispered. Kurt shook his head. "It's just one sleepover, Blaine. I will be fine.", he assured his best friend. However, Blaine still looked doubtful.
After rehearsal, Mercedes and Kurt headed to Rachel's place. First, they ordered pizza. As usual, Mercedes and Rachel were fighting over the topping (pepperoni vs vegetables) and Kurt suggested to order a pizza which was half pepperoni and half vegetarian (like he always did). When the doorbell rang, Kurt went to answer the door and to take the pizza (They already payed online). However, Kurt froze when he noticed the full moon behind the pizza guy. He just stared. Was the moon always like that? So big? And beautiful? And…"Kurt? Kurt!" Kurt snapped out of his state of trance. He blinked. "What is it, Rachel?", he asked. "The pizza guy is long gone, but you are standing here staring at the sky for minutes. Are you okay?", she asked. Kurt nodded numbly. "Yes, I'm fine. Let's go." Rachel cocked one eyebrow but didn't comment. While eating they watched movies nonstop. After their fourth movie, Mercedes got up. "How about karaoke? I really feel like singing now!", she said. The other two nodded enthusiastically and went down Rachel's basement. Before they started to sing, Rachel insisted to do some warmups for their voices by singing some scales. Mercedes groaned. "Hell to the no! That's really not necessary", she said. "Before you start jogging you also do some stretch exercises, right? We have to treat our voices with respect. If we want to sing, we have to do it the right way", Rachel insisted. Kurt rolled his eyes. "Let's just get over with it, okay?", he moaned. Rachel clapped her hands. "Kurt, you start. C-major scale, okay?" Kurt nodded and started singing. He sang a lot, but this time, he felt like something was off. However, he couldn't quite put a finger on it. After he stopped singing, he noticed both, Mercedes and Rachel staring at him. "What? It was just a scale. Nothing special.", he shrugged. Rachel smiled broadly. "But that was perfect! You are perfect!", she exclaimed. Kurt cocked his head to the side. Rachel Berry was making him a compliment? Was she high? Or did she once again get drunk with the alcohol of her dads? He turned to Mercedes, but just like Rachel, she was beaming at him in a weird way. "Mercedes? Do you know why Rachel acts that weird?", Kurt asked his other friend. "Because you are gorgeous. And gosh your eyes, they are sooo blue!", Mercedes gushed. The two girls were taking a step forwards and Kurt stepped back. "Guys? Are you okay?", he asked irritated. "More than okay because you are here. Come to me, Kurtie", Rachel purred. Kurt retreated, but the girls cornered him. "You two are aware that I'm gay?", he said. Mercedes scoffed. "That's what they all say. Don't try to fool us, white boy." Kurt turned to her. "I thought you liked Sam. Or Shane, or… I don't know, anyone but me!" Mercedes shrugged. "I think I'm over Sam and Shane. After you blinked with that sexy blue eyes of yours…" Kurt quickly turned to Rachel. "And you are in a relationship with my brother, do I need to remind you of that? How would it look if there was something going on between the two of us?", he said frantically. Rachel looked unimpressed. "Finn is so immature and simple-minded. But you, on the other hand…", she said flirtatiously. Mercedes glared at her. "Forget it. He is mine! Unless…How about a threesome?", she suggested. Rachel frowned, but after a while, her whole face lit up. "Yes, why not? Then we can split him up!", she beamed as if they were talking about a treat. Kurt felt like he could throw up any second. The girls got him cornered now, there was only a table behind him. "Why are you not smiling, Kurt? This is going to be a lot of fun!", Rachel squealed. Kurt wanted to back away but hit the glass of water instead and got his back wet. Kurt's eyes widened. What was he going to do now? He couldn't turn into a merman in front of Rachel and Mercedes. There was only one way out now. "Look, guys, I'm really sorry about that." The girls looked confused. "What are you talk…" Mercedes never finished her sentence as Kurt lifted both his hands and a strong gust of wind threw them back right on the couch at the other end of the basement. Kurt sprinted to the door, threw it open and ran up the stairs right to the next bathroom. He locked the door and even froze it, just in case, before his legs gave in and he fell to the floor. The girls were crazy. But why? What happened? Kurt pulled his phone out of his pocket of his cardigan (Thank god he didn't believe in he didn't keep it in his pants) and dialed Blaine's number. "Yes? Why are you calling, it's 1:30 in the morning", Blaine said. "Don't tell me you are sleeping, Blaine. I know you are up playing video games", Kurt smirked. "Alright, you caught me. But it's Friday night, okay technically Saturday morning, but let's not dwell on that." "Look, I need you to come over!", Kurt said hastily. "Why?", Blaine asked. "As you know, I'm at Rachel's, but her and Mercedes are acting strange. I think it has something to do with my powers.", Kurt whispered into the phone, as he heard the girls approaching. He nervously flicked his fin. "What do you mean by that? Did you get a new power?", Blaine asked. "I really don't know. But please come over as fast as possible, okay?", Kurt pleaded. Blaine sighed. "Okay, I'm on my way to the car. See you in fifteen."
Kurt opened the door when Blaine arrived and threw himself into his arms. "I'm so glad you made it!", he said, relieved. Blaine looked around. "Where are the girls?", he asked. Kurt bashfully looked to the floor. "I lured them to Rachel's room, closed the door and then froze it. I didn't know what else to do", he admitted. Blaine unsuccessfully tried to stifle his laughter, but when he saw how serious Kurt looked, he cleared his throat. "What are we going to do now?", Kurt asked. Blaine pointed to his laptop. " We are doing some research now."
"In Greek mythology, the Sirens were dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. Originally, Sirens were shown to be male or female, but the male Siren disappeared around fifth century BC. ", Blaine read out loud from Wikipedia. Kurt sighed. "So I'm a male siren now? My powers are supposed to kill people?", he said frantically. Blaine shook his head. "Don't let your powers define you. Only you decide whether they are good or bad, right?" Kurt nodded slowly. "And what are we going to do about the girls? I used my powers in front of them!", Kurt said exasperatedly. Blaine started grinning. "I have an idea."
Mercedes and Rachel squealed excitedly when Kurt entered Rachel's room. "Kurt! You're back! Can we make out?", Rachel begged. Kurt shook his head. "Better: I will sing something to you!", he suggested. The girls nodded eagerly. Kurt opened his mouth and started singing.
Hush now, my story
Close your eyes and sleep
Waltzing the waves
Diving in the deep
Stars are shining bright
The wind is on the rise
Whispering words
Of long-lost lullabies
Oh won't you come with me
Where the moon is made of gold
And in the morning sun
We'll be sailing
Oh won't you come with me
Where the ocean meets the sky
And as the clouds roll by
We'll sing the song of the sea
I had a dream last night
And heard the sweetest sound
I saw a great white light
And dancers in the round
Castles in the sand
Cradles in the trees
Don't cry, I'll see you by and by
Oh won't you come with me
Where the moon is made of gold
And in the morning sun
We'll be sailing
Oh won't you come with me
Where the ocean meets the sky
And as the clouds roll by
We'll sing the song of the sea
Kurt looked up. The girls were curled up on Rachel's bed, fast asleep. " I can't believe this actually worked", he said, stunned. The boys had found the lullaby online some minutes ago. Blaine appeared on the doorway and smiled. "Sirens used to lull mariners to sleep with their voices. " His eyebrows furrowed. "However, they also killed them afterwards. Well… Let's cover the tracks instead…", he laughed. Kurt quickly nodded.
The boys gladly discovered that Kurt's powers were gone after he accidently sang to himself during dinner with his family the next day and nothing happened. Blaine reasoned that it had something to do with the full moon and Kurt agreed. However, they still didn't know what they would do about the girls' memories. On Monday in school, Kurt was about to put things in his locker when Mercedes and Rachel cornered him. "Kurt, you see, we kind of have a blackout. We don't remember what happened the night between Friday and Saturday! We only remember eating pizza and watching movies, but everything after that is just…gone", Rachel explained. "Like it was erased out of our memories. First, we thought it was because of alcohol but the blackout can't be the consequence of drinking too much alcohol. We didn't drink because we weren't hungover or something the next day. Do you know what happened?", Mercedes asked. Kurt paled. "Sorry, I have no idea", he lied and quickly closed his locker. "I need to go now. See you in glee!", he said and rushed away. The girls were looking after him with confused expressions on their faces. "Well, that was weird.", Rachel commented. Mercedes hummed in agreement.
