Back with Chapter 2! I know this idea is really weird but I'm going to keep going with it. I promise if you stick with it you might find something you like! I do no own Glee nor do I own any of the characters, those belong to Ryan Murphy and this is nothing but fiction. Enjoy!
"Kurt! What have you done?!" In front of Kurt was a elven woman, she was as pale as him and they shared the same eyes, they are in a lavish bedroom decorated with blue and silver, however the room is currently being torn apart by a gust of wind, "I'm sorry! I don't know what happened!" Suddenly there is a flash of light and a portal appears in the center of the room, the wind changes and begins to draw both of them into the portal. Kurt quickly grabs the woman's hand and grips onto one of the thick wooden bedposts, "Hold on!" Kurt can feel the woman's grip slipping, the wind is too strong, "Kurt, no matter what happens just remember to rely on your magic." She lets go and disappears into the portal, "Mother!" Kurt quickly scans his bedroom, he sees the book still sitting open on his desk, he lunges for the desk and is able to grab on before the wind is able to get ahold of him. Kurt stashes the book into his satchel on the desk and hoists it over his shoulder, then without a second thought jumps into the portal.
"Kurt! Kurt!" Blaine was kneeling in front of Kurt as he leaned up against a tree near the campfire, Blaine shook Kurt gently again trying to stir him, slowly the glaze over Kurt's eyes faded and came back into focus, "What? Blaine? Is something wrong?" Kurt was still a little confused, 'what was that? A dream? But, elves don't dream.' "No nothing's wrong. I was just...I was worried. I came to check on you and you seemed to be crying." Kurt raised his hand to his cheek and felt fresh tears still rolling down his face, "Oh. I guess I was. That doesn't normally happen." Blaine put his hand over Kurt's, "Are you ok?" Kurt looked down at Blaine's hand over his, why did he suddenly feel like his stomach was upset? "Yeah. I'm fine." Blaine smiled softly, "Bad dream?" Kurt shook his head, "No. Well...I'm not sure." Blaine tilted his head to the side slightly, "Haven't you ever had a dream before?" Kurt shrugged, "Elves don't dream. There are stories of Elves who could but they were messengers of Gods. Never mind it doesn't matter. Perhaps it was the stress." Blaine nodded, "It has been a long day for all of us." Kurt stood and walked more towards the center of the clearing they were in, "What are you doing up?" Kurt still couldn't shake the tightness in his stomach, and Blaine's smile wasn't helping, "Standing watch. Sam said if I'm powerful enough to get away from Mahon then I'm strong enough to take a shift." Kurt nodded, "Well I suppose I can take over now. You should get some sleep." Blaine yawned, "No it's ok. I can keep you company if you need me to." Kurt chuckled, "Blaine get some sleep." Blaine smiled, "Ok. Call if you need anything." Kurt smiled softly as he watched Blaine walked over to the tree and nestled in to fall asleep, 'What's wrong with me? Why do I get so nervous around him? He's just a half elf boy.' But Kurt already knew Blaine was no ordinary half elf, how did he have so much power but still be so sweet and innocent? Kurt knew he should fear Blaine, anyone that could conjure fire was trouble but as he watched over Blaine sleeping quietly against the tree he couldn't imagine Blaine being any kind of trouble, all though it did seem to follow him.
A few hours past and Kurt heard rustling in the bushes close by, he was ready to attack until he saw it was the girl who Blaine had rescued, "Oh, Kurt. I'm sorry, I was just trying to find Blaine. I woke up and he was gone." Kurt smiled, "He's sleeping over there." Rachel sighed, "As long as he's ok. I'm worried about him" "He seems to be able to take care of himself." Rachel nodded, "I know. It's just...I had a dream earlier. Probably nothing." Kurt was now very interested in what Rachel had to say, "What was the dream?" Rachel sighed, "I dreamed that Mahon's men found us and kidnapped Blaine and tortured him. It was awful." Kurt rested his hand on Rachel's shoulder, "I promise I won't let anything happen to either of you." Rachel looked at him incredulously, "Why do you even care about us?" Kurt smiled, "I know magic when I see it and the two of you are loaded with it. Blaine is certainly the most concentrated form of magic I have encountered in awhile. But you also have an aura about you. These dreams of yours seem to be visions of events to come, that takes a great deal of magic. So I want to make sure that magic is protected and doesn't fall into the wrong hands. Until both of you are safe I will stay and protect you." Rachel smiled widely, "Thank you. I...no one has ever been so kind to me before. Most people just look at me and run away." Kurt was confused, "What are you talking about? I think you look perfectly normal." Rachel laughed, "Yeah because having YELLOW eyes is normal!"
Kurt looked closer and was surprised, her eyes were yellow, "I didn't even notice. Elves tend to have strange colored eyes so to me it's no big deal." "Well to humans it means I'm evil. My own family kicked me out." Kurt expression dropped, "I'm sorry. That's horrible." Rachel shrugged, "Blaine has it worse off than I do. Poor guy has been looked down on since he was a baby, but he's the best. I would be dead without him." Kurt sighed, "I just don't understand what's wrong with humans. You both have the potential to do so much good in this world with your abilities, I just don't see why anyone would want to wipe that from existence." Rachel grimaced, "People tend to want to get rid of things they don't understand." Kurt shook his head, "That no excuse. Just because you both have troubled backgrounds doesn't mean you will meet the same fate as your parents. You should be judged solely on your actions, not your birthright." Rachel smiled, "Wow, elves really are as smart as people say. I'm glad you found us." Kurt nodded, "I think it was fate. Before I had no purpose but was seeking redemption. I believe helping you and Blaine is the first step on my new path." Rachel gave Kurt a confused looked, "Redemption? Did you do something wrong?" Kurt's face dropped, "Yes. I hurt someone I care about very much. Now I must pay for the consequences of my actions." Rachel's eyes flickered with worry for a moment, "You didn't kill anyone did you?" Kurt sighed, "No, I have never taken a life. But, she's lost now because of me." Rachel's face softened, "Oh. I'm sorry. I'm sure you'll find her someday. Was she your true love?" Kurt laughed, "No. Um, sorry it's just...I don't find the female sex attractive." Rachel's eyes widened, "Really?" Kurt nodded, "In Elven culture it doesn't matter who your love is as long as its true. I choose to prefer the male sex, but it's not frowned upon like in human culture." Rachel smiled, "Maybe Blaine should go live with the elves."
Kurt was taken aback by that statement, "What do you mean?" Rachel giggled, "Well, he probably would kill me for telling you this but, Blaine likes boys too." Kurt felt a strange sensation in his chest, "What? You mean Blaine?" Rachel smiled widely, "Yes, you and Blaine are the same. Do you like him?" Kurt's breath caught in his throat, "What? I...how should I know I just met him?" Rachel gave Kurt a knowing smile, "Don't play dumb with me, I can sense it. Just so you know, he likes you too." Kurt's eyes widened, "How do you know?" Rachel shrugged, "I've known Blaine for awhile now and when I get close to someone I develop a bond with them. Eventually I can read their thoughts, earlier when you first appeared I heard Blaine's thoughts, he thought you were beautiful." Kurt inhaled sharply, "Well..that doesn't matter. He's half human, it could never work. He would die at least a hundred years before me. It will only end it disaster." Rachel smiled warmly, "Not necessarily. Strange things happen in this world, who's to say. Just think it over." Kurt looked at Rachel closely, "Do you know something?" Rachel's smile turned mischievous, "Perhaps, but it isn't my place to interfere. I can only guide, the choice is yours."
Kurt was about to say something when he heard a loud yawn, "Looks like he's awake." Rachel smiled slyly, "Well I think I will let you take it from here." "Wait, Rachel..." Rachel turned and began to walk back towards the wagon, "Just get to know him Kurt. Don't doubt yourself like you always do." Kurt was startled by that last statement, it was something his mother had said, "Rachel.." But it was no use, she had already disappeared back into the woods. Blaine stretched as he stood up from the tree, he was startled when he heard footsteps coming towards him, "Who's there?" Kurt chuckled as he conjured a ball of light in his hand, "It's just me. How did you sleep?" Blaine smiled softly, "Pretty good. As well as can be expected. I'm not used to...roughing it." Kurt chuckled, "I completely understand. These last ten years for me have been the worst. You'd think I'd be used to it by now but I still miss the palace." Kurt groaned as he realized what he had just said, Blaine's eyes widened, "What? Did you just say Palace?" Kurt thought about lying, he should lie, but he couldn't stop thinking about what Rachel has said, he took a deep breath, "Yes. Up until ten years ago I lived in a palace." Blaine was shocked, "So...are you...a prince?" Kurt simply nodded, "So, what are you doing here?" Kurt smiled, "Well from what I hear I could ask you the same thing." Blaine sighed, "Oh, so you know about that." Kurt smiled shyly, "Yes. I...I'm sorry if that was too abrasive. It's just we are both princes so I thought it was something we could share." Blaine smiled widely, "So you mean like, friends?" Kurt smiled warmly, "Well we did save each other's lives today, and we both know how to use magic. I don't see a better foundation for a friendship."
Blaine felt tears beginning to form in the corner of his eyes, "That would be nice." "Are you ok?" Blaine laughed, "I'm fine, It's just nice to have someone around who doesn't judge me. I feel like you and Rachel are the only two people who have ever done that for me. My own kingdom is ashamed of me, I used to be Blaine Devon Anderson Prince of the Stargazers, now I'm nothing but a runaway. All because of who my mother was and because I like...never mind." Kurt sighed as Blaine stopped himself, "Blaine, I hope you aren't upset but Rachel told me about...your preference." Blaine's eyes widened, "What? Why...why would she do that?" Kurt smiled softly, "Because I told her I preferred the male sex as well." Blaine gasped, "You mean? Oh." Blaine seemed very overwhelmed by the confession, "You don't need to be embarrassed by it Blaine. If humans are too closed minded to accept you than maybe you should live with the elves. There are plenty of elven societies who welcome half elves, my kingdom included." Blaine eyes grew wider, "Really? So...would you take me there?" Kurt thought for a moment, "Yes. But, I have to do something first before I go back." Blaine nodded, "I'll help you with whatever it is." Kurt felt that tightening in his chest again, "Thank you." "So, what is it?" Kurt sighed, "Ten years ago, I was experimenting with my mother's magic book, there was a spell I had always wanted to try. So one night I stole it from her chambers and attempted the spell, but it backfired. A portal was created and my mother burst into the room to see what was going on. The portal was too strong and took us both to unknown locations. I was dropped into the continent I have learned was called Kai. But...I have no idea where my mother landed. I have to find her before I go back." Blaine grasped Kurt's hand, "We will find her, together." Kurt felt a warmth spread through his chest, "You really are something special." Blaine blushed, "Thank you. I think you are the first person to ever say that to me." Kurt chuckled as he brought his hand up to cup Blaine's cheek, "Well then everyone else is blind. You have such a good heart." Blaine laughed darkly, "Everyone has always told me the opposite. I think I proved them right today."
Kurt stroked Blaine's cheek gently before he let his hand drop back to his side, "Why on earth would think that?" Blaine's breathing became shaky, "I...I took a life today." Kurt's expression dropped, "I..I'm so sorry Blaine. It's all my fault." Blaine shook his head, "That's ridiculous. I'm the one that killed him." Kurt felt a pang of guilt surge through him, "Yes, but, I was the one who taught you the spell. There wasn't time and I was expecting your element to be more passive." Blaine looked up at Kurt, "Passive? What do you mean?" Kurt thought carefully for a moment, "Most elves, myself included, have alignment with a certain element. I am aligned with the element of water so my magic rarely kills. However you are aligned with fire which is the most destructive element, so your magic tends to be less forgiving. But fire is also one of the life bringers." Blaine tiled his head to the side, "Life bringers?" Kurt nodded, "My people believe the elements were the first to exist and nurtured this world until Life was able to inhabit it. Most believe the essential elements for Life are Fire and Water. So to wield either of these elements is a great gift, but also an immense responsibility. You have to be careful how you use your magic since your elemental alignment makes it more aggressive, but you can also channel it to bring beauty and balance." Blaine looked down at the ground, "I still took away someone's father or husband or son. Surely he was something to someone and because of me they will never see him again."
Tears began to roll down Blaine's cheeks, not being able to stand the sight Kurt quickly pulled him into a tight embrace, " That just proves how good you are. The difference between good and evil Blaine is that good feels remorse for what they have done. This should prove to all those people who told you that you were evil that you're not. I'm mean, even with all of them screaming it in your face as you grew up you still didn't stray from good and...I'm glad you didn't listen to them." Blaine nuzzled against Kurt's shoulder, "It was my father. He always said my mother's actions didn't define me and that I was my own man." Kurt smiled as he squeezed Blaine tighter, "Sounds like a good man. Forgive me if this is rude but, why did he send you here?" Blaine sighed, "To keep me safe. Or so he thought, many in our kingdom thought I was an evil influence and that I would corrupt the kingdom. So he sent me to live with my aunt until he was able to convince the people I was their rightful prince by right. After a year with Mahon I stopped receiving letters from my father, I later learned Mahon had been witholding all letters addressed to me. I was imprisoned soon after and forced to wait on my cousin hand and foot. Some prince I turned out to be."
Kurt's brow furrowed as he pulled Blaine back to look at him, "How dare he! This man must be stopped and we have to get you to your father." Blaine's eyes widened, "What?" Kurt nodded, "You need to let him know that you are safe. Besides, he may be able to help dispose of Mahon, then you wouldn't have to worry about running anymore." Blaine looked down at the ground unsure, "But...what if, he doesn't want me to come back?" Kurt tightened his grip on Blaine's hand, "Then you will come back with me. Do you trust me?" Blaine nodded, "With my life." Kurt smiled warmly, "Then I will make sure to stay with you until you are safe. I will be your protector and give my life if necessary." Blaine seemed taken aback by Kurt's promise, "Kurt, I...why would a man like you care about what happens to me?" Kurt rolled his eyes, "Blaine, not everyone is out to hurt each other. Some of us see the good in the world and choose to preserve it instead of destroy it. You are one of the greatest sources of good magic I have ever encountered and I could never forgive myself if I just walked away and you were corrupted or worse. So I'm staying by your side until I am sure your safety is assured, I won't take no for an answer." Blaine smiled shyly, "Ok. Thank you Kurt." Kurt smiled widely, "What are friends for?" They smiled at each other for a moment until Kurt helped Blaine to his feet, "Come on, we should probably get back to the wagon."
As they walked to the wagon Blaine noticed Kurt was still holding his hand, he didn't make any effort to stop it, in fact, he hoped Kurt would start doing it more often. The wagon soon came into view and the boys found themselves chuckling as they heard Santana and Rachel bickering, "Santana I need room to sleep, I can't be smushed up against the side of the wagon all night." Santana rolled her eyes, "You're the tiniest girl I know, you don't need so much space." Rachel scoffed, "Well do you really need a barricade of pillows surrounding you? Where did you get all of these anyway?" Santana smiled slyly, "They were a going away present from a friend." Sam laughed, "Yeah if that friend was the merchant you stole them from." Santana frowned, "Way to blow my cover Sam! Anyway, yeah I stole them, so what? Not like someone else wouldn't have done it eventually. I just sped up the process, I did him a favor." Rachel sighed, "Regardless I am not sleeping like this so either you make room or I will sing all night long." "Oh gods no! Fine you win for tonight." Kurt was beginning to find his new friends very entertaining, "Everything alright here?"
Sam turned and smiled at Kurt, "Just dandy, is it my turn to take watch?" Kurt nodded, "Yes, Blaine and I each took a shift." Sam's smile widened when he noticed Blaine was blushing, "Well fantastic! I will go take my shift while you guys watch the wagon. Deal?" Both nodded and Sam left with his staff in hand to stand watch. "You boys have fun?" Blaine shot Rachel a warning glare as she hopped down from the wagon and approached them, "Oh come on Blaine where's your sense of humor? I'm just having a little fun." Blaine smiled softly, "I know Rachel. We had a nice talk, that's all." Blaine felt himself blushing again as Kurt squeezed his hand gently, "Yes, it was nice getting to know each other." Kurt winked at Rachel and it took everything she had to suppress a giggle, "That's so great! I'm glad we are all getting along!" Santana groaned from inside the wagon, "Speak for yourself! How am I supposed to get any sleep with you three around?" Blaine chuckled, "Guess you'll just have to adjust." None of them could see the smile that passed Santana's lips, "Oh, joy. Just keep it down will you?" All three rolled their eyes, "Yes Santana," Santana laughed at the other three's mocking tone, "Great, go from expert thief to babysitter all in one. This is my life." Kurt laughed, "She's just a ray of sunshine isn't she?" Rachel chuckled, "She's really great once you get to know her and if she's gotten enough sleep. Otherwise, run." Kurt nodded, "Good to know. Well why don't you go get some sleep Rachel? I think you've been up longer than anyone of the rest of us." Rachel yawned, "That sounds perfect. Just call if you boys need anything, ok?" Blaine sighed, "Ok. Good night Rachel." Rachel looked down to see the boys were still holding hands, she gave Kurt a knowing smile before turning back to the wagon, "Good night boys."
Kurt chuckled as he watched Rachel climb back into the wagon, "She's something else." Blaine laughed, "That's an understatement. That girl has gotten me into so much trouble. I've only known her a few years but it's already like we are twins or something." Kurt smiled, "Friends like that are rare, hold on to that." Blaine nodded, "Do you have any friends back home?" Kurt's smile faded a little, "Yes. Her name was Mercedes. We grew up together, but I haven't seen her since..." Now it was Blaine's turn to feel guilty, "I'm sorry. That was insensitive of me." Kurt shook his head, "No it wasn't it was...sweet." Kurt's heart sped up a little when Blaine gave him the most gorgeous smile he had ever seen, "Well we are friends now right? So you're not alone anymore." Kurt's face seemed to brighten at Blaine's words, "I suppose you're right." Somehow both were completely oblivious to the fact that they were still holding hands, but as hazel stared into blue the entire forest could have been on fire and neither would have budged. So as they continued talking beside the wagon neither noticed a pair of yellow eyes watching them carefully, smiling down sweetly at her charges, Rachel knew she had found the two she was meant to protect. She just hoped she would be able to guide them to their destiny, if not, well she didn't want to think about that right now. All Rachel could think about was the energy she felt coming off of Blaine and Kurt, she was aware of what was going more than the elf, which was surprising. Even now she could see shades of red making their way into Kurt's blue aura while blue was making it's way into Blaine's red aura, these boys were becoming closer then either could possible imagine. But they would find that out for themselves soon enough.
So there's chapter 2! I wanted to bring Blaine and Kurt closer so that's what this chapter was about. More action to come in the next chapter! Review are always valued and appreciated! Until next time!
