Blaine wakes up the next morning, confused as ever. He touches his neck and feels the desiccated blood left from Kristian's midnight snack.
"Good morning," says Kristian as he sees Blaine wake up. "Leave the room please," says Kristian in his soothing voice as his maid tightens his corset. "You're upset," he says to Blaine.
"Your face…you looked like a demon," says a bewildered Blaine.
"But you're not afraid."
"Get away from me."
"It doesn't change the way you feel about me. You will not tell anyone," says Kristian as he uses his compulsion. "We will go on exactly as we have."
"Yes, we will go on," Blaine repeats.
Kristian chuckles. "You have no idea of the future I have planned for us; you, me, and Noah. No rules."

"He could control my mind and Puck's. Kristian compelled us to keep it a secret from the other. Kristian wanted all of us to be together, forever," clarifies Blaine. "Didn't work out that way, but Puck and I were never the same again."
"Is that Puck's ring?" questions Kurt. Blaine nods. "Blaine, keep it hidden."
"Kurt if I don't give this ring back to him, he'll retaliate in the one way he knows how to hurt me."
"And how is that?" asks an exasperated Kurt.
"By hurting you."

"I am so over Artie. All he did was hurt me and made me feel like I was useless and unimportant," claims Rachel as she dances around to music. "Finn on the other hand has always liked me and treated me like I was a person."
"Finn huh? Kurt's brother?"
"Yeah Kurt used to date my brother so they were always together and Finn would be there and would always hang around and me got a crush on me."
"I'm bored of this talking! Let's dance!" And so, they do, for hours, and to the same song it seems like. Until they get to Blaine's room and trash all his belongings and Puck picks up the picture of Kristian.

"My birth mom spends most of her time in New York with her new family," Rachel says while she and Puck are slow dancing to a different song. "Did you know that I have two gay dads? Well, anyway, they found her for me, because I kept asking about her and it didn't work out. But one of my dads, Hiram, he started seeing this other guy and left Dad LeRoy in despair. Even our family therapist can't fix him. Sam and I were both devastated, so it was us against the world."
Puck touches Rachel's face. "Your life is so pathetic."
Rachel sniffs. "Yeah. But Sam has it so easy, people like him. They all think I'm too selfish because I know I'm destined for great things, like being the biggest star on Broadway."
"You're really annoying."
"That's what people say I am."
"But, you know, I can take away all that pain away."
"How?"
"This." Puck snaps her neck and she falls to the floor like dead weight.

"What happened? I remember dancing," says a disoriented Rachel.
"I killed you," says a composed Puck.
"What?"
"You're dead."
"I'm dead?"
"Let's not make a big deal out of this. You drank my blood, I killed you, and now you have to feed to finish the process."
"You're crazy! I can't be dead! I need to be on Broadway! I have to play Fanny Brice!"
"Well things are about to get really freaky."
"I just want to go home!"
"You need to feed on blood. And until you do, you're gonna feel very out of it."
"Come on! Move out my way!" yells Rachel as she tries to storm out in her regular fashion.
"Damn! Even when you're dead you're still a pain in the ass!"
"I'm going home now."
"You're right; you should go and go to Finn's house. Tell Kurt I said hi and if you see Blaine tell him to call me!"

There are several doorbell rings and knocks until Finn opens the door to let Rachel in.
"My head is killing me and my eyes are on fire!" Rachel sobs.
"Rach, what's wrong?" asks a worried Finn.
"Nothing. What have you got to eat?" Rachel runs into the kitchen and rips open the refrigerator door.
"Are you messed up Rach? It's the middle of the day."
"Could you not talk so loud?! My head hurts!" She starts pulling out every piece food she can find and shovels it all into her mouth.

Blaine opens the car door for Kurt. But Kurt stops to ask one more question. "The mind control…did you ever do that to me?"
"No. That necklace I gave you contains an herb called vervain. It protects you from being compelled. I wanted to protect you from Puck and his influences, but I also wanted to protect you from me. Kurt, you should never take that necklace off. No matter what happens today or how you feel about me, you should know that you free to make your own decisions."

"Where is she?" asks a concerned Sam when he shows up to Kurt and Finn's house.
"She's in here," answers Finn. They both run to the kitchen to find Rachel sitting on the floor, still stuffing her face with dark sunglasses covering up her eyes.
"Rach? Are you OK?" asks an anxious Sam.
"No. Sammy, my gums hurt and my jaw hurts. There's something in my gums," sobs Rachel.
"Let me see." Sam tries to touch her face.
She slaps his hand away. "No! It hurts too much."
"Rach, don't be like that." reasons Sam.
"Just turn it off!"
"Turn what off?" asks Finn.
"The talking! Just stop!" yells Rachel. Kurt and Blaine come in and see Rachel in her "state".
"What's going on?" asks Kurt. Blaine looks around at the kitchen and soon figures out what's happening.
"She's really messed up," replies Sam.
"Kurt step back." Blaine gets down onto Rachel's level and holds her chin. "Rachel, look at me. Focus, focus. Guys, get her upstairs and close the shades, she's gonna be fine."
Sam and Finn pick Rachel up and take her upstairs.
"Do you know what's wrong with her?" asks Kurt.
"She's transitioning."
"Transitioning into what?"
"A vampire," answers Blaine.
"What?"
"Puck must've gotten to her; she fed on him and he killed her with his blood still in her system. But she hasn't completed her transformation yet."
"Okay so how does she complete her transformation?"
"She has to feed on human blood."
"And what if she doesn't?"
"She'll die."
NKB~NKB~NKB~NKB~NKB
"Rachel may have a few more hours until she has to feed," circumstances Blaine.
"She's upstairs with Finn right now," states Kurt as he paces back and forth.
"They're ok. She doesn't know what's happening to her right now."
"But what happens when she figures that out?"
"Right now, she's forgotten all of the things that have happened to her. But as she loses her humanity and slowly feels the hunger for human life, her memories will come back and she will want to kill and will have no reserve for humans. She'll have to make a choice."
"The same choice you made?"

"I'm sorry I was so much trouble," says Rachel.
"Hey, it's ok. You just need to sleep it off ok?" replies Finn, holding Rachel in his arms.
"I'm scared Finn."
"I won't let anything happen to you ok?"
"Okay."
"I promise. If you're with me, you'll always be safe." Rachel hugs Finn and she starts to feel something build up inside of her. She has urge to bite his neck; but he only hugs her tighter. She runs out of the room and down the stairs before she can bite him.
"Rach! Rachel!" yells Sam as he runs outside and Rachel is nowhere to be found. Finn, Kurt, and Blaine run outside after Sam.
"She was fine and then she freaked out on me," says Finn.
"I'm gonna go look for her! Call me if you hear anything!" shouts Sam as he run to his truck.
"I can trace her," says Blaine.
"Go and hurry!" replies Kurt.

Logan Fell walks through the woods with an invention called the Hummel watch, which was made in 1864 to track vampires. The dial on the compass spins and spins until it lands on one spot. Logan calls Sheriff Fabray to tell her that he thinks he found something near the old cemetery.

"Maybe we should call Sam," says an anxious Finn.
"He'll call when he finds her," replies an irritated Kurt.
"Well, what are we supposed to do?"
"We wait; it's all we can do."
"I have no idea what's wrong with her."
"She'll be fine. It'll all be fine." Just then the doorbell rings and both Kurt and Finn go to answer it.
Kurt gasps when he sees who it is. He tries to close the door on Puck, but can't because of Puck's superhuman strength holding the door open. "Finn, go upstairs." Finn tries to protest, but Kurt pleads with him and he goes upstairs.
"You're afraid of me. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that Blaine told you everything," says Puck with is condescending voice.
"Stay away from me you jackass."
"Whoa, whoa, there's no need to be rude; I'm just looking for Blaine. Can I come in? Oh wait, I already can." Puck drives himself through the door as Kurt steps away from him. "We can cut to the chase if you want; I'm not gonna kill you yet, that wouldn't serve my greater agenda. So, where's Blaine?"
"He's out. Looking for Rachel."
"Don't look at me with those judgy, gorgeous, blue eyes," says Puck as he walks closer and closer to Kurt. "You'll thank me later."
"Did you thank Kristian?" Puck is stunned by the question that he moves away from Kurt while trying to seem like he wasn't bothered by the question.
"Blaine told you the whole life story huh?"
"I got enough."
"Oh, I doubt that. Tell my brother I'm looking for him. And for the record, I meant what I said about your eyes," says Puck as he leaves the house.

Rachel is crying in the woods, where she has been hiding all this time.
Blaine finally finds her and tries to talk some sense into her. "Rachel?"
"I'm starting to remember things. What he is what he said? I remember you, the hospital. The rooftop; it's all coming back to me."
"I'm so sorry. Puck had no right to do this to you."
"He said that I need to feed; what will happen if I don't?"
"You will weaken quickly and it'll all just be over."
"I'll be dead. I don't want this."
"I know, it'll be ok. I can help you."
"Is it better? Will I be better?" Rachel sobs uncontrollably and only asks for one thing. "Will you take me home? Can I go home?"
Blaine sighs. "Okay."
Unexpectedly, a bullet whizzes through the air and hit hits Blaine right in the chest. He doubles over and Rachel tries to help him, but doesn't know what to do. She screams for help as she sees Logan Fell try to stake Blaine. But then a miracle happens. Puck comes out of nowhere to bite Logan before he can do anything (so y'alls can breathe now). Puck throws Logan on the ground and pulls the bullet out of Blaine's chest. Rachel sees the blood coming out of Logan's neck and her vampire urges her to feed.
"If anyone's gonna kill you, it's gonna be me. Hand me my ring," says Puck.
"Rachel, no!" yells Blaine. Unfortunately, Rachel gave into the urge and starts to feed on Logan.
"I'm sorry," she sobs and she runs home.
"Oops," says Puck.

"Oh, my God! Blaine! Are you ok?" Kurt asks frantically as he sees Blaine walk up to his porch.
"It's fine; I'm fine. I couldn't stop Rachel."
"What does that mean?"
"She fed and then I lost her."
"Oh, my God."
"I'll take care of it. I'll find her and I'll show her that she can live like I do."
"What will we tell Finn? And Sam?"
"We'll come up with a story."
"You mean lie?"
"I'm so sorry."
"I gave you today just like you asked and I understand that you would never do anything to hurt me and I'll keep your secret but I can't be with you Blaine. I'm sorry I just can't." Kurt turns away from Blaine to go back in the house, but Blaine stops him.
"Kurt! Just so you know, everything with Kristian and Puck, only means that I'm gonna fight for you. I'm not giving up on what we have. I love you." Then he kisses Kurt, pouring everything he can into it. To say everything, he wants to say but can't; to Kurt that he'll love him for as long he can.
Kurt breaks away from the kiss. "I'm sorry Blaine, but I can't forgive you right now." Kurt leaves Blaine to go inside and leans against the door to slide all the way to the floor and sobs.
