"You don't remember us, you don't remember this place?" he looked on the edge of hysteria "You don't remember me?"

"I'm sorry…" Kurt said quietly, hating how upset the man looked

"Hatter, it was you who gave him the option to leave." Mercedes pointed out "you had to know he'd forget us."

"I never imaged he would leave!" the Hatter shouted "I had to give him the option, it wasn't fair to force him to stay…but I didn't think he'd leave me." He shook his head. Kurt felt his heart break for the boy he didn't remember.

"I'm sorry to interrupt…but I still don't understand why I'm here." Hatter looked back at him

"You're here to slay the Jabberwocky." He said seriously

"Slay the what?" he asked

"The Jabberwocky, of course." David said

"The Red Queen's monster" Wes explained, Kurt blanched

"I've got to slay a monster?" he gasped "I can't do that!"

"But you've got to!" Rachel cried "She'll destroy the White Queen if you don't! she'll destroy Wonderland!" Kurt felt sick to his stomach

"No. no, no, no. You've got the wrong guy." At that, Mercedes reached into her bag and pulled out what looked like a scroll, she unraveled it and pointed to somewhere in the middle

"See? That's you fighting the monster." She said Kurt looked over and his mouth dropped open, what he appeared to be fighting was at least a hundred feet tall and looked like a dragon.

"Why is the rest blank?" Kurt asked, looking beyond the picture of himself fighting the Jabberwocky to the rest of the paper.

"Because…" Mercedes said hesitantly "we don't know if you'll succeed." Kurt felt sick to his stomach, these people were making him fight this dragon thing so save a world that wasn't even his…and he was more than likely going to die. Kurt pushed away from the table, shaking his head and ran. He ran into the woods, everyone looking helplessly after him.

"Mercedes, Why?" Hatter asked

"Listen, Blaine," She drawled, using his real name "the boy deserves to know that he might die." He glared at her

"I. Will. Not. Let. Him. Die." He said, pronouncing every word slowly and carefully. "I have to go find him." He said suddenly and stood up from the table and ran after Kurt.

Kurt sat slumped against a tree. None of this was fair. He'd realized somewhere along the way that this wasn't a dream. He remembered everything before his point, he remembered the party he remembered Jeremiah and he remembered falling down into this god forsaken world. Now he was going to die and there was nothing he could do about it. What would his dad do? They'd lost his mom…he couldn't lose his son too. Kurt's eyes filled with tears and he did nothing to stop them, even when he heard leaves crunching under someone's feet as they approached him. Hatter walked over and squatted down in front of him, balancing on the balls of his feet.

"I know this is a lot…" he started off, but Kurt interrupted him

"A lot is an understatement. Why does this Red Queen want to take over anyway?" he asked, wiping tears away

"Well, she's in love." Kurt wasn't understanding, if she was in love…why would she want to destroy everything? Blaine must have knew what he was thinking because he continued "the thing is, she doesn't know how to love. She's possessive, and she wants to own her love, but the White Queen has her in the glass."

"The glass?"

"The mirror."

"The Red Queen is in love with a girl…who's trapped in a mirror?" Blaine nodded, Kurt was confused.

"The White Queen is working to get her out, but all the Red Queen's attacks are setting her back."

"So all she's doing is hurting herself?" Kurt asked, Blaine nodded.

"The Red Queen is going to send the Jabberwocky to attack the White Queen's castle, and you're the only one who can fight it."

"This is so stupid!" Kurt yelled, "I have to risk my life all because someone's in love?" his breath hitched and Blaine looked at him calmly.

"Kurt, love isn't stupid." The look in Blaine's eyes and the way his voice had suddenly gone all rough made Kurt blush and look away.

"I can't even remember any of you." He shook his head, "how am I supposed to fight for you?"

"I can't tell you," Blaine said, "I can only hope you'll decide to help us." He slowly brought his hand up and set it on top of Kurt's. Something switched in Kurt and suddenly the world melted away

He was back at the table in the clearing, but everything looked different. The table was clean and perfect, and the woods around them were green and beautiful and full of life. Kurt giggled as a butterfly landed on his nose, but the sound that came out of his mouth was a child's laugh. He looked to his left and felt a smile spread across his face. The boy sitting next to him was familiar, so, so familiar. He was dressed in a small deep blue suit with red trimming, gray slacks and tiny dress shoes. On top of his head was a deep blue hat about ten times too big for him. The hat had fallen down over his eyes and he giggled as he pushed it back up on his head, brushing away the curl that hung on his forehead, he lifted his black eyebrows that were strangely triangular. His hazel eyes glittered as he smiled widely at Kurt and asked him in a child's voice if he wanted more tea.

"Kurt." Someone was saying "Kurt?" he blinked a few times and looked back into those hazel eyes.

"I…I think I remember you."

( AUTHORS NOTE: okay, I understand the part about the girl in the mirror may be a little confusing, so if you have any questions about that, just leave me a review and I'll answer them! In the meantime tell me what you think of this chapter!

Ps. I'm a little disappointed with the lack of response on this story, I thought this is one of the better things I've written :/ oh well, I guess to each their own)
