Blaine was stunned silent. Kurt continued to stare at him through hazy eyes.
"You do?" Blaine asked, somewhat breathlessly, Kurt nodded
"At least…I think I do." Kurt frowned, Blaine tightened the grip he had on his hand. The sparkle was back in his hazel eyes "But we were both children." Kurt continued "We met once, how could we possibly remember each other?"
"For me, theres no need to remember." Blaine said softly "I never forgot."
"Then why did I forget you?" Kurt asked, Blaine smiled sadly
"I guess that's what happens when you go back." he shrugged "I had to give you the decision. I had to let you go…you weren't mine to keep." Kurt smiled slightly and took a deep breath. He stood up, and Blaine stood with him
"I'll do it." Kurt said "I'll help you." Blaine smiled widely and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you!" he cried and pulled away "I have to take you to the White Queen!"
oOo
"I'm taking Kurt to the White Queen" Blaine announced, Mercedes clapped her hands and Rachel smiled brightly
"Can I go with you, Hatter? Pretty, pretty please?" Rachel begged, Blaine smiled
"Sure, Dormouse." She squealed and jumped up out of her seat.
"I'll go get the horses!" she said excitedly and ran out to the small shack.
"Horses?" Kurt questioned, lifting a brow
"Yes…how else would we get there?" Blaine asked,
"I don't know, a car maybe?" Kurt said sarcastically, Blaine just continued to stare at him
"Car?" he asked, still looking confused
"Oh my god. Never mind." Kurt said, and instantly froze when Rachel came skipping back, flanked by two white horses.
"Shit!" Kurt squeaked and hid behind Blaine, who didn't seem to understand Kurt's fear.
"They're just horses." Blaine said as they trotted up to him, He leaned in and kissed one's nose "they're gentle, Kurt. They're not going to hurt you." Kurt slowly stepped from behind Blaine, who took his hand and guided it up to the horse's nose. Kurt's hand rested on the horse's nose, it was soft, and the horse looked calmly into Kurt's eyes. Kurt giggled as the horse's breath tickled his hand, he pulled it back and looked at Blaine.
"Okay, okay, but I'm not riding one by myself." He said
"Sure, you can ride with me." Blaine said, and Rachel squealed
"I get my own horse!" she instantly climbed up onto the horse and hugged it around the neck. Kurt gave her a look and turned back to Blaine.
"Is she okay?" Blaine laughed
"She's just a bit…eccentric." He walked over to the side of the horse and climbed up using the saddle and foot rungs. Once he was straddling the back of the horse (which couldn't possibly be comfortable for his…nether regions) he held a hand out for Kurt, who took it and tried to copy his movements for getting up onto the horse. Once he was also straddling the horse, Blaine turned to look at him
"Now put your arms around me." He instructed
"Excuse me?"
"Do you want to fall off the horse?" he asked, and Kurt carefully snaked his arms around Blaine's waist. Blaine flicked the reigns and the horse began to trot, which turned into a gallop, which turned into a steady run. Rachel followed Blaine and Kurt onto a path in the woods. They galloped along for what seemed like hours, stopping occasionally to let the horses drink from a pond or stream. Finally, they came across what Kurt deemed to be the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.
The castle was gigantic, Kurt guessed this is what Hogwarts would look like if it was painted gleaming white. The gates were silver and shining, as they approached, two guards in white armor opened the gates for them, recognizing Blaine and Rachel, knowing they weren't a threat. They took the horses up through a garden filled with trees with light pink flowers blooming all over them. Once they reached the steps up to the castle, Blaine hopped down from his horse, and helped Kurt off of it, Rachel coped them and tied the horses up by a trough filled with clear water.
The three walked up the steps together as another set of guards opened the doors for them. The room they entered was obviously the throne room. They walked right up to the woman sitting in a throne that seemed like it was made entirely of glass. There was a girl that looked no older than them sitting on the throne, and two more guards beside her. Rachel waved flirtatiously at one of the guards, who shot her a small smile. He was tall and broad with brown hair gelled up in the front. The other was just as tall and just as broad, but his skin was slightly darker, he had a Mohawk and was standing slightly slouched.
The Queen herself was beautiful, her skin was very light, and she had a blush on her cheeks. Her eyes were blue and her hair was blonde and fell in soft waves slightly past her shoulders. She wore a gorgeous white dress that Kurt could have sworn was his own design. She stood as they approached and smiled fondly at them.
"Kurt!" she cried and flew down the steps to hug him. Kurt was taken by surprise and barely had time to return the hug before she held him out at arm's length and looked at him.
"You're just as cute as I remember you" she smiled "I'm so glad you came back…have you decided to help us?" Kurt nodded.
"He has…but I'm afraid he doesn't remember much of his last visit." Blaine said, the Queen's smile fell slightly
"That's alright…well, I'm Quinn." She said "I hope you'll find your memory." She collected herself and continued to explain"We don't know when the Red Queen's attack will be. So we're going to need you to stay here and train, I want you to be as prepared as possible." Kurt nodded again.
The White Queen personally showed Kurt to the room he'd be staying in, and left him to get settled and went to talk with Blaine. Kurt, having nothing to do began to get bored. So he stood up from the bed and strode out of the room. He looked around as he walked down the halls, the Queen hadn't said anything was off limits, so he peeked into rooms and looked at paintings on the walls. As he reached the end of one of the long hallways he came upon a door. It looked older than the rest, the paint was peeling and the handle looked slightly rusted. Kurt reached out to open the door, and with a little push it swung open.
Kurt looked into the room, there was a table set up in the middle of the room, with all sorts of things set out on top of it, it reminded Kurt of a lab table. But what stood next to the table was shocking. In it was the reflection of a girl…but the room was empty. As Kurt walked closer, the girl started and looked up at him. She stood up as he stood directly in front of the mirror.
"You're the girl that's trapped." He said softly, she nodded. The girl was extremely pretty, her skin was light and her lips were pink. Her eyes were a bright shade of blue and her blonde hair was pulled up into a ponytail. She smiled at Kurt and spoke in a voice that was soft and sweet
"I'm Brittany."
(AUTHORS NOTE: so…I hope that clears the whole girl in the mirror bit up a little. I decided to make the people of Wonderland not know a lot of things about Kurt's world like cars, and technology and stuff. I just picture them being totally cut off. Let me know what you think with a Review!)
