A/N Sorry I haven't updated any of my stories for a while, life has been pretty hectic the last couple of weeks. First the good news. I am in negotiations with a composer and a lyricist to collaborate on my script! They are a young brother/sister duo who love the idea of a Musical about teens who are bullied, as they were recently bullied to the point they had to stop performing for a while. Fingers crossed!

Now the bad news. My husband lost his job last week, which means I've had to start looking for another part time job, or possibly a full time job and give up my job at my son's school. For the moment we are fine financially, but after August things will be tight.

Anyway, I have been working on chapter 4 of Somewhere, Ohio, and chapter 2 of Dancing Through Life, and hope to get those up later this week. Also working on another chapter of Their Love is Out of This World, but not sure when it will be done. Might post a one shot in the next couple of weeks, too.

Sorry this is another short chapter, will post again as soon as I can.

As always, Reviews are always welcome!

…

They signed Kurt out of the hospital, AMA. The doctor tried to argue with them about it, until Carole pointed out that they had searched and hadn't found any trace of venom in the room, nor any sharp object Kurt could have used to cut himself with. She also pointed out that she was a registered nurse and could tend to Kurt's medical needs at home. It also helped that Kurt's previous doctor, Dr. Manuel, agreed with them that he did not believe Kurt had done this to himself.

Blaine still didn't know what to think. He loved Kurt, and knew he wouldn't have done this to himself. Yeah, he could be a Diva some times, but this was something completely different. But he kept hearing June's voice in his head saying Kurt was just faking this to get his attention. Kurt had even admitted he wanted to make Blaine jealous. And he was still skeptical about the whole vampire thing.

Speaking of June, he was going to be late for rehearsals again if he didn't leave soon. He sat on the edge of Kurt's bed in the loft and brushed auburn hair off his forehead. The paler than usual man smiled up at him.

"Shouldn't you be at rehearsals?"

Blaine shrugged. "I'll leave in a few minutes. I just want to make sure you are okay."

"I'm okay. Freaked out a little bit, but other than that, I'm fine," he tried to joke. "I mean, vampires are literally out to get me. How weird is that?"

Blaine's expression closed off a little at the mention of vampires. Kurt noticed of course. "You do believe me, don't you?"

Blaine sighed. "I believe you think you were attacked by vampires."

Kurt frowned. "You think I'm crazy or something?"

"Of course not! It's just...maybe they weren't vampires. Maybe they were just weird guys with some kind of biting fetish."

Kurt scoffed at that. "Then why can't I remember their faces? And why couldn't I move or push them away?"

"Drugs?" Blaine suggested. "Look, I'm not saying I don't believe you, it's just hard to believe that a mythological creature is after my boyfriend!"

Kurt sighed. Blaine had a point. "I know it is hard to believe. I don't want to believe it myself, hence the whole being freaked out thing. But I know what I felt. Yeah, I was drunk, but I was still in control. But then it was like someone else was in my head, controlling me, controlling my body. I didn't want it, but I couldn't stop it."

Blaine frowned. "Are you sure about that?"

"About what?"

"You said you didn't want what happened, but isn't that exactly why you went there? You said you wanted to make me jealous." Blaine sounded hurt, and a little angry.

Kurt glared at him. "I would never actually cheat on you."

"What about Chandler?" Blaine said, standing and moving around the bed to look out the window.

"You know I never cheated with Chandler. All we ever did was share a few flirty texts. Unlike some people, I've never been unfaithful. Heard from Eli lately?" Kurt asked, voice growing in anger.

Blaine dropped his head in shame. "I'm sorry. I know you would never cheat on me. I just can't believe you'd go to a club and get drunk, and put yourself in danger just to make me jealous."

Kurt sighed. "I admit it wasn't my best idea ever, all things considered. I was upset, and maybe a little depressed that everyone had gone off and left me alone on my birthday. When I realized you had forgotten, I got mad and wanted to make you jealous. I'm sorry. I swear I never meant to hurt you."

Blaine moved back to the bed and hugged him. "I'm sorry, too. I still don't know if I believe in vampires, but I know you didn't do this to yourself. I believe you when you say someone attacked you. I love you so much. I'm terrified I am going to lose you!"

"I love you, too. I promise I won't leave you, not if I can help it. Now, go to rehearsal before June starts texting you every five seconds again. I swear that woman is crazy or something."

Blaine chuckled softly, and kissed him on the lips before leaving.

…

After Blaine left, Carole came in to check his bandages and give him his vitamin K shot and iron pill. His dad brought him a lunch tray, and sat in a chair beside his bed, making certain he ate every bite of the beef stew and multigrain bread with butter.

Kurt was exhausted, but didn't want to sleep, didn't want to dream. He could feel sleep pulling at him. He could hear his dad, Carole, Santana, and Rachel talking in low voices through the curtains. He forced himself to stay awake, listening to their conversation.

"We have to make certain he's never alone," Santana said. "Madame Leona has placed protection from the vampires all through the loft, but worries that the other entity may be too powerful even for her. She is going to try and contact some other practitioners, and see what she can do for Kurt. In the meantime, we'll work on a schedule to make sure someone is always here."

"My time is limited over the next several days," Rachel said. "Opening night is just four days away, and the director has us rehearsing eighteen hours a day!"

"Don't sweat it, Man Hands," Santana said. "We've got it covered. I've set up a schedule for all of us..."

Kurt tried to hear the rest of what she said, but sleep could no longer be denied.

…

Blaine was getting frustrated. They'd been rehearsing for four hours now with only one break, and Sebastian would not stop coming on to him, no matter how much he told the man he wasn't interested. And June was actually encouraging the bastard. When they finally stopped for lunch and June was distracted by a phone call from one of her biggest donors, Blaine all but ran out of the rehearsal hall without even changing his clothes.

He walked rapidly to Gloria Jean's Coffee Beans, which was just around the corner, needing something to settle his nerves and to get away from the two people on the planet he was starting to despise with every fiber of his being. His reprieve was short lived, however, when Sebastian slipped into the seat across from him.

Blaine growled in frustration. "Damn it, why can't you take the hint? I am not interested in you! I have a fiance! I love him and he loves me!"

Sebastian smirked. "Does he? According to June, your fiance is holding you back, career wise, and is so desperate for your attention he faked an illness."

Blaine's anger ratcheted up another notch. "First of all, Kurt is NOT holding me back. He is the one who encouraged me to do this showcase with June. And second, Kurt isn't faking anything! And third, I am going to strangle June for saying anything to you about Kurt and I!"

He stood up, grabbing his coffee and stormed out of the quaint little shop. Of course Sebastian followed him.

"Your fiance is slipping away from you. The vampire will steal him, and he will forget about you."

Blaine froze in his tracks. "What did you say?"

Sebastian stepped in front of him to look directly in his eyes. "The vampire prince always gets what he wants, and he wants your Kurt. You don't stand a chance against him."

"How do you know about that?"

For a moment a look of pain crossed the taller man's face. "Kurt isn't the first to catch his eye, nor will he be the last. He will seduce your fiance, lure him away from you, make him crave what the prince offers, and then when the prince loses interest or finds someone more exciting, he'll discard your Kurt, leaving him to fend for himself, broken and alone. I should know. He stole my love from me."
