Silent Song of Death ~ Rebirth
Chapter 2: Where Am I?
"About time you woke up" a voice says as Blaine groggily opened his eyes.
"What a nightmare" Blaine says rubbing his eyes.
Blaine sees the pendant his dad gave him as a present. He holds it fondly in his hands. Blaine loves his dad, Blaine's father Harry Anderson, loved him dearly, even when Blaine came out and told his father he was gay, nothing changed, in fact it made the two closer. Father and son shared everything with one another and nothing was a secret between them except for Blaine's mother. That remained un-said. Blaine put the locket in under his shirt.
"How long was I out?" Blaine asks stealing a few fries from Puck's plate.
"A while. They served our food while you were asleep. I tried waking you up, but you were out for the count. I don't blame you for falling asleep. We fell asleep after 3am, those movies went on for a while" Puck says taking his burger and passing the rest of his fries over to a hungry Blaine, who quickly got stuck in.
"What?" Blaine asks noticing Puck was staring at him with a smile on his face.
"Nothing" Puck replies looking out the window.
Puck and Blaine seeing the darkening sky outside decide to call it a day at the mall. The two walk out of the mall's version of Breadstix. Seeing that not many people were around the two boys share a mischievous look. Blaine hops up onto one of the benches near him.
"We are what we're supposed to be,
Illusions of your fantasy,
All dots and lines that speak and say
What we do is what you wish to do" – Blaine.
"We are the colour symphony,
We do the things you wanna see.
Frame by frame, to the extreme.
One by one, we're makin' it fun" – Puck.
"We are the Cartoon Heroes – oh-oh-oh
We are the ones who're gonna last forever
We came out of a crazy mind – oh-oh-oh
And walked out on a piece of paper" – Blaine & Puck.
"Here comes Spiderman, arachnophobian
Welcome to the toon town party" – Blaine.
"Here comes Superman, from never-neverland
Welcome to the toon town party" – Puck.
The two dance around the virtually empty mall. Blaine points towards the mall's phones. Puck throw's a confused look in Blaine's direction. Blaine pulls out his pockets to show he didn't have his phone with him and Puck replies with a nod.
"We learnt to run a speed of light
And to fall down from many height.
It's true, but just remember that
What we do is what you just can't do" – Blaine.
"And all the worlds craziness
A bunch of stars that's chasing us,
Frame by frame, to the extreme,
One by one, we're making it fun" – Puck.
"We are the Cartoon Heroes – oh-oh-oh
We are the ones who're gonna last forever
We came out of a crazy mind – oh-oh-oh
And walked out on a piece of paper" – Blaine & Puck.
"Here comes Spiderman, arachnophobian
Welcome to the toon town party" – Blaine.
"Here comes Superman, from never-neverland
Welcome to the toon town party" – Puck.
Puck stops short when Blaine starts into the next verse. He's memorized by Blaine's ability to sing. Every time he hears Blaine sing, it takes his breath away.
"You think we're so mysterious,
Don't take us all too serious.
Be original, and remember that
What we do is what you just can't do" – Blaine.
"What we do is what you just can't do
What we do is what you just can't do
What we do is what you just can't do
What we do is what you just can't do" – Blaine & Puck.
"We are the Cartoon Heroes – oh-oh-oh
We are the ones who're gonna last forever
We came out of a crazy mind – oh-oh-oh
And walked out on a piece of paper" – Blaine & Puck.
"There's still more to come
And everyone will be
Welcomed at the
Toon – Toon
Town – Town
Party!" – Blaine & Puck.
The two boys stop just beside the fountain as they finish their song. A little old lady walks past them slowly. She tuts at the two before stopping.
"Hooligans!" She mumbles looking at the boys before she hobbles off.
The boys snicker at the old woman until she turns around and sends a glare in their direction. Blaine and Puck put on their best 'Innocent' faces until she leaves.
"That was brilliant" Blaine says stifling his laughter.
"I know right. We should come to the mall more often" Puck says.
"Come on Noah, I need to use the phone" Blaine says pointing towards the phones.
"Why not use mine?" Puck offered.
"Cos your phone died on the way to the mall earlier" Blaine says walking over to the phones.
"Oh yeah" Puck says looking at his dead phone before following Blaine. The two boys were unaware that they've been watched the entire time, and not by the old woman. As they walk over to the phones, a pair of feet follow.
"Dad. It's me. Yeah.. Sorry I didn't call sooner. Movie ran late" Blaine says to his father. He pauses to listen to his dad while Puck stood by daydreaming.
"Yeah, I guess I was. Anyway, I'm coming home now and yeah Noah is coming too" Blaine says.
At the mention of his name Puck snaps out of his daydream and throws a smile in Blaine's direction. Out of the corner of his eye, Puck sees a woman in a trench coat pass by them again. Puck thinks nothing of it and returns to watch Blaine talking to his dad.
"Oh, I didn't get that thing you asked me to." Blaine pauses to listen to his dad give him a lecture.
"Okay" Blaine says using his 'I'm-too-cute-to-be-punished' voice.
"Okay, I will. I love you too, Dad" Blaine says hanging up the phone.
Out of the corner of Blaine's eye, he sees that woman in the trench coat again passing by. He shrugs his shoulders in her direction making Puck look over at the woman and send her a confused glare. The big muscled woman dressed in a brown trench coat and a long skirt that was just below her ankles barely touching the ground and she wore a white dress shirt with a red tie, just shook her head. Blaine links his left arm with Puck's right to lead him away from the strange woman.
"Blaine, I need to speak with you" the woman says in a thick country accent stopping Blaine and Puck.
"My name is Shannon Beiste. I'm a detective" the woman says introducing herself.
"A detective?" Blaine says turning around to face her.
"Really?" Blaine says shooting Shannon a look of disbelief.
"Well, nice talkin' to ya" Blaine sarcastically says earning a snicker from Puck and the two walk away leaving Shannon behind.
"Hold on. There's someone that wants to meet you. Just lemme have an hour – no half an hour of your time." Shannon says with her thick country accent that Blaine or Puck couldn't identify where it was from.
"Well not sure about you but our parents always said not to talk to strangers" Puck says speaking to Shannon for the first time.
"This is very important. It's about your birth." Shannon says.
"I'm not interested" Blaine states before walking away pulling Puck along.
Shannon continues to follow the two boys down the hallway. Puck sees a bathroom coming up to their left, he nudges Blaine and signals toward the bathroom. Blaine smiles at Puck knowing that the creepy woman wouldn't follow them in there.
"Didn't you get the message? We're not interested" Puck says turning around to face to woman.
"Sorry… I'll wait here" Shannon says seeing the boys were heading for the toilets.
"What a creep…" Blaine mutters walking over to the sink.
"Isn't she" Puck replies walking into one of the stalls.
"Hurry up Puck, I wanna get out of here. I wonder can I get that window open" Blaine says looking over at the bathroom's window.
"I think we'll squeeze through" Blaine says looking out the window.
"Good, because if I have to go back out there, things will get violent" Puck says walking over to Blaine.
"Noah there's no need for violence and dude, for fuck sake, go wash your hands. Seriously that's gross" Blaine watching Puck wash his hands with a red tint to his cheeks.
The boys manage to get out of the window with no bother, but once they got outside they were met with an obstacle blocking their path.
"Looks like we're going that way" Puck points down the alleyway beside the mall.
The two boys walk down the long alleyway with Puck cursing the appearance of the Shannon Beiste as they walked down. When they reached the end, the boys are met with a wall too large for both of them to climb. Puck let out a string of curses while Blaine looked around with an annoyed look gracing his face.
"Hey Puck, is that door open?" Blaine asks pointing to the door Puck was standing beside.
"Yeah it is, come one lets go in" Puck says walking inside with Blaine following after.
"You know I we get caught, we're gonna be in some major trouble…" Blaine comments walking down the hall.
"Doesn't look like we're going left" Puck says pointing to dead-end at the left side of their path.
The boys walk down the hallway which had a lot of turns. Blaine breathed a sigh of relief when he saw two double doors at the end leading them back out to the mall. When they got out they saw that most of the security shutters had gone down over the shops which reminded them of how late it had become.
"Hey Blaine this way" Puck says pointing to a partially closed shutter.
Had to put in the song. It's Cartoon Heroes by the band Aqua. The song will slightly relate to them in later chapter which the boys will comment on. So this chapter was relatively normal and next chapter introduces one of the main antagonists of the story. This story will contain many references to Glee so keep an eye out for them. R&R
