Quinn wakes up in her bed with a stranger that she doesn't recognize at first. She then looks in her mirror that's facing her bed and she sees all the dried blood on her neck from the two vampire bites. She tries to get up from her bed as quietly as she can which she eventually does, but is caught by Puck.
"And here I thought we wouldn't have to do this when I woke up this morning."
"Please, please don't kill me! Please just get away from me!"
"You know the more you try to resist, the more I want to kill you."
"Please just go away!" Quinn throws a pillow at his face and he gets really irritated.
"All of this could've gone in whole different direction." He then charges at her.

"At first you wanted me to 'jump his bones' and now you're telling me to break up with him?" asks Kurt as he and Mercedes are walking into school that morning.
"Look I'm not saying you should break up with him, I'm saying you should take it slow," replies Mercedes.
"But, like, two days ago you were proud of me for going over there to tell him how I feel."
"Yeah but yesterday when I thanked him for saving Rachel, I was giving him your number as the awesome friend I am and when I touched him I felt something run through my veins."
"Like what?"
"It felt cold, it felt like death."
"Well it could've been anything," Kurt says incredulously. "You even said yourself that you haven't been feeling like yourself."
"Well maybe. But I still think that you need to take it slow."
Kurt gasps. "I know what we can do!"
"What?" Mercedes asks nervously.
"All three of us can have a dinner together at my house tonight and you'll see how much a good guy he really is."
Mercedes thinks about it for a moment and decides that she'll go. "Ok fine White Boy, but just know that I'm doing this for you."
"That's all I ask." They smile at each other and walk arm and arm into school.

"Hey," says Kurt when he greeted Blaine at his locker.
"Hey," replies Blaine.
"So, I want to invite for dinner tonight to thank you for what you did last night for Rachel."
"Hey, it was no problem."
"I know but I want to do something nice for you and convince Mercedes that you're a good guy." Kurt sneaks in at the last minute.
"Let me guess she doesn't like me and told you watch out for me."
"Well not the first part, because she does like you, but she just wants me to be careful."
"I'll do anything to prove to her that I have no ulterior motives, that I like you, and hope that this turns into something very serious."
Kurt giggles. "That is very sweet and know that I can't wait to show her that you're perfect for me."

"I can't believe Kurt is already going out with him," says an upset Sam to Artie.
"Dude, get over it. Now we can chase all the tail we want," replies Artie.
"Suddenly I feel worse than I did before."
"I know what just to do to spook him," says Artie with a smirk on his face.
"What?"
"I'll throw this football at the back of his head."
"What?! No! Come on! Don't do it!"
"Hey, you're the one who hates him. I'm just doing your dirty work for you."
"I don"t hate him; I just want me and Kurt to be together again."
"Ok now you're sounding like a chick and can I just say that it doesn't suit you." Artie throws the ball. Blaine turns around and catches it right before the ball has a chance to hit him in the back of the neck.
"Whoa!" says an astonished Sam.
"Heh you better watch out for him if you're gonna try and hurt him," says a surprised Artie.

Blaine and Kurt are walking in the hallway after Blaine caught the ball.
"I can't believe you caught that ball!" exclaims Kurt.
"Well I've played for years so I got really good at it."
"Well I think that you should try-out for the football team, they can use all the help they can get."
"And you can try-out for the cheerleading team. I distinctly remember you telling me about that. And I wouldn't mind seeing you in that Cheerios outfit."
Kurt starts blushing and looks down so Blaine doesn't see. "Ok, we'll make a deal. When you try-out for football, I'll rejoin the Cheerios."
"Deal. Get ready to be on top of that pyramid again."
"Ok, first, I was never on top." Kurt realizes his innuendo too late and Blaine has that look in his eyes.
NKB~NKB~NKB~NKB~NKB
"What? Kurt!" Mercedes says with astonishment seeing Kurt at Cheerios practice for the first time in forever. She waves him over. "What are you doing here?"
"Well Blaine and I have this deal that if he tries-out for the football team I have to rejoin the Cheerios."
"Ha-ha it's good to have you back! But you're lucky that you're one of Quinn's best friends 'cuz she would kick you out."
"Don't I know it but I haven't even seen Quinn since last night. Have you?"
Mercedes notices it too. "No and practice is about to start."
Just then Puck and Quinn pull up in Puck's convertible and Quinn has a scarf around her neck.
"What is she doing with Puck?" asks Mercedes.
"Wait you know who that is?" asks Kurt with an incredulous look on his face.
"Yeah he hit on Quinn after the Falls party."
"Wow, um, I didn't know that."
"Wait what so weird about that?"
"It's just that he's Blaine's older brother."
"Blaine has an older brother?"
"Yeah but they don't really talk a lot."
"Ok people! I want to start with going over choreography for Homecoming," says Quinn as she was walking over to the team.

"Well if it isn't Blaine Anderson, the smart mouth in History," says Mr. Tanner as he sees Blaine walking up to him on the field.
"I'm not here to show you up. I'm here 'cuz I want to try-out for the football team."
"So, you think can just waltz right in here and think you're gonna make it on the team?"
"No that's why I'm trying out," says Blaine with a smirk on his face. "And by the way sir I don't waltz."
"Ok Smart Mouth hopefully you're terrible at football and history makes up for it. Go change and we'll put you on defense."
"Yes sir."

Kurt is having a horrible time at Cheerios practice, mostly because he hasn't cheered since before his parents died.
"Ok guys! Let's take a little break!" yells Quinn. She walks over to Kurt and talks to him the sweetest voice she can possible have at this moment. "Kurt, sweetie, I know want to be on this team again, I mean who wouldn't be, but I think it's best that you stand in the back right now so that you can pick up the choreography faster."
"Yeah sure thanks Quinn." Just then Kurt sees Blaine jogging onto the field in his football gear and he smiles to himself.

"Ok boys, let's have Smart Mouth here try-out for the team!" yells Mr. Tanner. "And by the way if you end up getting hurt and you start crying, you'll never hear the end of it from me."
"You do realize that since this is an after-school activity I don't have to show you the same respect as I do in school, right?" says Blaine. He always has to have the last word.
"Ok let's just get this thing over with! Boys huddle-up! Now we're gonna have Blaine up against the varsity to see if he even has a shot against you guys, I mean, look at how small he is."
Everybody started laughing except for Sam. He kind of has a soft spot for him even though Blaine's dating his ex. Sam doesn't want Kurt to get hurt so to prevent that, gotta start sticking up for Blaine…sooner or later.
"Sir you do realize that with this belligerent attitude towards a student can result into immediate grounds for dismissal?" asks Blaine with a smirk.
"Do you want to make it on this team or not?"
"Ok fine I'll shut up. Even though I'm right," Blaine adds the last part under his breath.
They played for a good while. Blaine caught every ball that was thrown at him, even the ones that weren't. He ran fast as he could without revealing he was a vampire. And all Mr. Tanner could do was sit back and stare in awe of how great Blaine was. But then the worst happens when Artie decides to fumble the play and runs into Blaine when he's least expecting it. All the football gorillas run toward Blaine and knocks him of his feet.
"Ok! Ok! Back-up! Give him some room! Are you ok Anderson?"
"Yeah sir."
"Ok let's run that play again and this time, Abrams, don't be a dick!"
Blaine stands up to dust himself off and takes his glove off. He sees that his pinkie is broken and dislocated. But he uses his super vampire powers and cracks his pinkie back into place before he goes on playing again.

"Hey how were football tryouts?" asks Puck in a teasing voice as he reads Blaine's journal. "Did you make the team? Very Emerson, the way you reveal your soul. It has so many…" Blaine snatches the journal away from Puck. "…adjectives."
"What are you doing here?" asks an obviously pissed Blaine.
"I've come to apologize. I've been doing some thinking, some soul searching and I want us to start over. We need to put the past behind us. You're my little brother and if you want to live a normal, happy, human life then I want that for you. Maybe I could do it too. I could learn to live like a non-living living person." Then Puck, with his trademark sweetness, starts laughing.
"You know it doesn't have to be this way Puck."
"Of course, it doesn't. I saw Kurt today btw, which means by the way, he was at cheerleading practice. He looked so perky in his little shorts and just-" Blaine looks like he's going to rip Puck's head off. "Simmer down I didn't even go near him. Got my own cheerleader now. Ooh that reminds me I gotta go pick her up. Maybe I'll see Kurt while I'm out there." He backs out of the room with that knowing smirk on his face, leaving Blaine hostile underneath his skin.

In History, the next day, Mercedes was not paying attention as per usual, but something was plaguing her all throughout the lesson. She kept seeing the numbers 8, 14, and 22. Which will later become eerily prescient.
