Thank you for the fabulous reviews and all of the alerts! I'm flattered! Anyway, here is the sequel to "King of New York", "Seize The Day". And yes, in case you didn't notice, they are all titles of the songs of "Newsies". Not many people love it like I do, so I figured I'd take advantage of that now. Sorry for the gap between the chapters, I have been a little distracted. I don't know why, but I got the sudden urge to watch "A Very Potter Musical" and its sequel, though I've seen it a billion times. Sorry about how long this author's note is, it must be pretty freaking annoying, huh? Anyway, this has a little more drama, since the last chapter was just the group of friends singing in an abandoned mall. It is a Glee spin-off, afterall. Glee is the show for drama geeks, right? And we couldn't be prouder of it! And, I'm angry at how much my brother and Chris Colfer need to hook-up.
Blaine's dreams were pure pleasure. He knew that he, Kurt, Mercedes, and Rachel were still trapped in the mall, but it was fun to dream. He started to wake up, thinking some Brookstone employee was waking him up. When he actually woke up, he realized that he woke up on his own, and that he and his friends were in grave danger.
He woke up to see Kurt on the floor, outside the store. He then saw a large, intimidating figure beating him. Blaine examined the figure. Dark, short hair, tall build, and a football jacket. A William McKinley High School football team jacket. Blaine was watching his boyfriend being beat up by Dave Karovsky.
Blaine knew he had to keep a low profile; he couldn't put Kurt's, his, Rachel's, or Mercedes' lives in any more danger. Since the couple slept on a memory foam mattress, it didn't make any sound when Blaine slowly got up. He noticed that there was blood on the floor close to the side of the bed Kurt was on. Blaine looked over at Kurt, and was relieved to see that all of his clothing was still in tact.
When Blaine got off the bed, he reached for his phone. He looked at the time; 4:30 am. The mall wouldn't be opening for another five and a half hours! So waiting for it to open was a no. He had to take action. So, he looked around the store, and found a big display shiatsu pillow that was lumpy and heavily coated with metal in the middle. Karovsky was a guy, and needed some help. So, he silently woke Mercedes and Rachel up. He put his hand over Mercedes' mouth, and shook her slightly. Her eyes opened, and instinctively started to fight. When she realized it was Blaine, she stopped. He put his finger to his lips, and slightly gestured to Kurt and Karovsky outside. They shared panicked glances, and then silently woke up Rachel the same way.
The three each grabbed the heavy shiatsu pillows, and silently made their way outside the store to reach Kurt. Kurt's eyes met Blaine's, and they expressed a sign of worry, and in a way, told them to not go near. Unfortunately, Rachel's flats were a little loose on the ends, and flapped against the hard linoleum floor. Karovsky heard this. He turned around. Blaine realized why Kurt's look was so worried when they approached. In Karovsky's hand was a pistol. Blaine's thoughts were racing. They were something like this; "He has Kurt held captive! Oh wait a minute-he has us all captive. When Rachel's shoe flopped-he looked at us. He knows we're here. He has my boyfriend captive!" Karovsky turned at them, and pointed the gun to Blaine.
Karovsky said "I have no intentions of leaving here today without someone dead. Whether it's you, or me, or Hummel, or one of the diva bitches, I don't care." Blaine couldn't stop himself. "What do you want from us? Why can't you just leave us alone?" Karovsky said "I wouldn't be talking like that. Watch your mouth, Homo." Rachel added to that, saying "Okay, so Blaine, that wasn't that smart, but we do want an explanation." the two girls looked at Karovsky. Blaine knew what was coming, and really wasn't in the mood for mental images-again.
Karovsky said "You tell 'em, Homo." looking at Blaine. Blaine's mouth opened and closed, not knowing what to say. Karovsky said "Do it!" as he was saying this, he pulled the gun away from Kurt's head and pointed it to Blaine. Kurt said "Don't hurt him!" and what happened next happened so fast, it was like a huge explosion.
Karovsky turned around, and punched Kurt in the face. Hard. Blaine, out of instinct, ran to Karovsky and, with the shiatsu pillow, hit him on the head. Karovsky dropped the gun, and was knocked to the ground. Kurt scrambled over, and grabbed the pistol from the linoleum. Rachel ran over to Kurt to make sure he was okay. Mercedes attempted to help Blaine, but she couldn't do much.
Blaine and Karovsky were in quite the brawl. Kurt had to admit to himself, Blaine was pretty hot when he got into a fight. Rachel decided that this fight was going no where. She said "Okay, enough, enough, ENOUGH!" Karovsky and Blaine, remarkably, stopped fighting. They looked at Rachel. She said "What the hell! This is going no where! What the hell happened!" Karovsky said "Tell 'em, Homo." Blaine knew they had to find out at some point. Blaine looked at Kurt, who slightly nodded yes.
Blaine swallowed, and said "The reason that this fiend" he pointed to Karovsky. Blaine continued, "threatened Kurt is because Karovsky kissed Kurt in the locker room." the girls were shocked. They didn't really know how to react. Rachel said "As shocking as that may be, it doesn't properly answer our question. Why did you come here?" Karovsky wasn't looking forward to telling them why he was here. He said "Because when the football team was forced to be in that glee club, I liked it! Okay! Damnit! And I want to join in, but I would be so made fun of I swear I'd loose my reputation! There is no way in fucking hell I will let that happen." Mercedes said "Okay, um… wow. But you can't be afraid! Look at Finn, Mike, Sam, or Puck! Especially Puck. He's in glee and he is still the school badass!"
Karovsky was confused. "Is glee even that fun? Like regularly?" Kurt took that question "Yeah, it is." Karovsky added "I don't get it! You're telling me to just do it and not care about it! What if it's not fun! Damnit I swear to god if I put my ass on the line and I get slushied I will find you." Mercedes said "in a way, but mostly, we're telling you to seize it!" this statement gave them a chance at living. Blaine knew what he had to do now. He started singing.
Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away
The others started singing here.
Arise and seize the day.
Now is the time to seize the day
(now is the time to seize the day)
Send out the call and join the fray
(send out the call and join the fray)
Hearts will be righted
If we're united
Let us seize the day
Friends of the friendless seize the day
(friends of the friendless seize the day)
Raise up the torch and light the way
(raise up the torch and light the way)
Proud and defiant
We'll slay the giant
Let us seize the day
Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all
And all for one
Open the gates and seize the day
(open the gates and seize the day)
Don't be afraid and don't delay
(don't be afraid and don't delay)
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away
Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all
And all for one
Karovsky stood there, a little shocked. He said "fine. I will find you again, if anything goes wrong." Rachel then asked "Wait! How did you know we were here?" Karovsky answered, saying "Cause I locked you out. I'll be going now. Have fun for another couple of hours." he said that with pure hatred. And then he walked out the front door.
Blaine ran over to Kurt. They hugged tightly, and were both crying. Mercedes and Rachel laughed, and cried by how painstakingly adorable this was. Blaine then said "I love you, Kurt. Don't you forget it. Ever." Kurt smiled. As often Blaine told him this, it just felt so nice for someone to tell him that they love him. Kurt said "I love you too, Blaine." and they kissed. Three hours later, the manager walked in. She said "Why the hell are you here?"
They all smiled. They obviously couldn't tell her the reason they were all here, so they had to lie. Blaine said "We went behind that little area over there" he directed to the place they were hidden away in. He continued, saying "And when we came out, the mall was closed." they knew they were in the clearing, because Karovsky had told them the cameras were shut off, but the alarms weren't. So, the manager politely let them leave. Blaine and Kurt walked out of the mall, hand in hand. They were safe. For now, anyway.
And there you have it! Sorry for the shortness of that one, there's only so much elaborating one can do without sounding desperate. I plan on adding at least one more chapter here, but I need to know it's wanted! I'll put some more references into other things in the next one, but I need to know! Whataya want from me? Anyway, if you don't mind, could you please click the little link down below this and review? Constructive criticism is widely excepted! It's great to know that an aspiring author like myself has people who like what I write. Being young, I would like some criticism. Sorry I sound so desperate! If you like this, and "King of New York", check out my other fanfic, a Klaine|Blurt|Kurt Koblaine one-shot, "Save The Last Dance For Me". Sorry this is so long!
