Please, don't hate me for this chapter.
Warning: attempted rape
Kurt was unusually quiet in the next few days. Since he and Blaine had gotten back from the town, he barely talked to Blaine or Cooper and tried to be alone as much as possible. It was hard with Blaine following him everywhere but after a while, he simply ignored the man. He was still angry with Blaine. They had been so close to his home, he could have checked on his family in a minute and nobody would have seen him. He knew very well that he couldn't let Blaine close to his family but it was simply cruel that Blaine hadn't even let him see them. It was something he would never forgive him.
Since that night, he couldn't get his family out of his head. He missed them so badly and he was worried about them, especially his father who had had a heart attack before. Kurt didn't want to know what his father went through. The other parents knew what happened to their children, they had a chance to move on, but Burt Hummel was left without answers and Kurt knew he must be worried sick. His father wasn't a man who gave up hope easily, he surely believed that his son was still alive.
One day, after giving all of his frustration out by yelling at Blaine for following him, Kurt slammed the door into the man's face and fell to his knees, crying. He had been strong for so long but he couldn't make it anymore. The house was driving him crazy, he was scared every time he had to leave his room because he knew he could be the next person killed by the mysterious creatures of the manor. It didn't help that he saw Blaine's parents way too often since Marley's death and their look told him that they didn't want to see him in their house any longer.
He had tried to talk about this with Blaine, several times. But it looked like the man wasn't concerned at all and told Kurt to forget about them. Because it was so easy after finding Marley's dead body in the garden... Kurt was sure that Blaine knew more about the secret of the Anderson manor than anybody else. Kurt had shared his concerns with Cooper but he had waved him down and told Kurt to forget about it. It was part of the reason Kurt didn't want to talk to the brothers. He couldn't believe that none of them wanted to change, that they were fine with their lives this way.
Well, Kurt Hummel wouldn't waste his life waiting for death to come for him. He had spent too much time in the house without doing anything. He didn't want to blame Blaine but it was mostly his fault. He made Kurt feel sorry for him, made him believe that Blaine could change and be a sweet, normal boy he used to be. Blaine's behaviour had changed so much in the past weeks that Kurt started hoping he would be able to fight against the monster living in his body and break free.
But it was so stupid of him. He shouldn't have trusted Blaine, the man who had spent his last fifty years killing innocents. He shouldn't have believed that the change of his eye color meant anything. Blaine could be working with his parents against Kurt for all he knew. Cooper, too. Kurt trusted them so easily but he never considered that they were all against him.
Kurt stood up from the floor and wiped his face. He wasted too much time without doing anything. It was time to finally come up with a plan to leave the manor.

People in Lima had been through too many funerals but none of them was as quiet and heartbreaking as Marley's. The poor girl had been found by Burt Hummel, the man who was going crazy because of his own grief, and with the help of Finn, they had brought Marley to the sheriff. The whole town had been awaken by the painful screams of Millie Rose when she had seen her only child's dead body. She had cried and destroyed the furniture of the sheriff's office before she had fallen to her knees, pulling at her hair.
It had been days ago and the town gathered in the cemetery to say goodbye to Marley for the last time. The cascet was open, so everybody could see the once beautiful girl's body. It made them all terrified. Marley didn't have any injuries but she was in a horrible state. Her hair was white and even with her eyes closed, she looked horrified. Something horrible must have happened to her and it made the others scared of the future.
The beast had never killed his victims so cruelly. He had left several injuries, he had taken all of their blood but nobody had seemed as terrified after their death as Marley. It was something they would never forget.
After the funeral, people gathered in the tavern to have a drink. Usually it had been only a few men and the closests family of the victims but this time it seemed like the whole town had the need to be together and drink their terrifying memories away. Millie was sitting in the corner with a few women around her. They tried to give her support but it was completely useless. Burt Hummel was standing not too far from them, watching the woman. His anger didn't seem to lessen since the night he had found Marley, not just because of the girl but the things he had seen in the forest. He couldn't convince Carole and Finn that he had seen Kurt with that monster and they had asked him not to talk about his experience. But Burt Hummel was a stubborn man and he would do anything to get his son back in one piece.
"I know most of you don't want to talk about the beast but there's something we have to discuss" Burt started.
"What are you doing?" Carole whispered.
"Millie, I can't explain how sorry I am for your loss. I know how you feel and I know you must be lonely, but you have to know, you're not alone. If you need help or someone to talk to, just let me know" Burt said.
"Thank you" Millie whispered and buried her face into her hands again. Burt waited almost a minute to continue.
"The night when I found Marley, I saw something you have to know about" Burt continued, avoiding Carole's eyes. "I saw him."
Burt stopped for a minute to let the people process what he had just said. He heard gasps and whispers from all over the room, he saw people watching him with wide eyes, some of them keeping a hand on their hearts.
"That's right. When that monster brought Marley back, I saw him. A young man with dark hair and black eyes. I've thought about it a lot and I think I know who he is" Burt said.
"Who?" the sheriff asked.
"It's Blaine Anderson" Burt answered.
There were more whispers and Burt saw that most of the others didn't believe him. He wasn't surprised, though. He couldn't even convince his own family.
"That's impossible!" Will Schuester said.
"How could he be the beast? It happened almost fifty years ago. If Blaine Anderson was still alive what I don't think is possible, he would be an old man now" the older Azimio said.
"You know very well what happened then" Paul Karofsky said. "We all know. My mother was only pregnant with me but she told me several times. When my father was found, he told the sheriff that the Andersons were all dead. The beast killed them. Blaine Anderson is dead, just like his parents and his brother."
"What if he isn't?" Burt reasoned. "Nobody alive's seen him. Nobody's been there since the beast arrived. What if Blaine's still alive and he's the one who killed his parents and all these people?"
"Burt, Blaine was a teenager back then. Do you want to tell us that he hasn't aged since those days?" Karofsky asked.
"Maybe he isn't a human anymore" Burt reasoned. "Hell, we all know the beast isn't human. And I saw him. I'm sure it's him."
"I knew him" the Puckerman's grandfather said and stood up. "I worked for the Andersons that time. My wife gave birth the night before the beast appeared, it's the only reason I can be here talking to you. But I knew Blaine and his parents very well. That boy was the kindest person I've ever met. He brought us food when we were working in their garden and he gave me money, a lot of money when I told him about my wife's pregnancy to pay the doctor. The boy was a saint."
"Well, he certainly isn't anymore" Burt hissed.
"Is there something else?" Schuester asked carefully. He had a feeling that Burt had seen something else, too.
"Oh, yes" Burt smiled sadly. "That poor little boy kidnapped my son and he keeps him prisoner!"
Burt heard the word insane several times but he didn't care what the others thought. He knew what he had seen.
"Burt..." Schuester started but Burt cut in again.
"I know what I saw" Burt said. "When he brought Marley back, Kurt was with him. I was in the kitchen when I heard my son's voice and I ran out onto the street. That's when I saw them. Kurt was struggling but that monster grabbed him and took him away from me again!"
"Burt, we all know how you feel" Paul Karofsky said. "Believe me, we've lost so many people and it makes us all a little crazy. But think about it. There's nobody who came back alive, it's impossible. The beast feeds from humans, he doesn't keep them around for company."
"I'm not crazy. I'm not!" Burt shouted. "Why can't you believe me?"
"Burt..."
"Why don't you want to do something? That monster kills our families and we do nothing about it!" Burt yelled.
"What do you want us to do?" Mary Jackson asked. "He's strong and fast. He kills everyone who gets into the forest. Do you want to sacrifice the whole town because of your madness?"
"It's the truth!" Burt shouted. "My son's alive, don't you understand? He needs help!"
"I'm sorry, Burt, but it seems impossible for me" the sheriff said and most of the others nodded in agreement. "You must imagine things. You can't move on because we didn't find Kurt's body. It's completely understandable, you're not the first parent who feels the same way. But you can't expect us to get ourselves killed because of your fantasies."
Burt grabbed the edge of the table next to him and knocked it over.
"We have to do something! I know we can. Together, we're strong enough to catch the beast and kill him! Who's with me?" Burt asked.
Nobody moved. The women gathered into the corner, away from the furious man and some of the men stepped closer to Burt.
"You need to calm down" the sheriff said.
"I'm calm. I'm damn calm!" Burt almost screamed.
"Burt..."
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Burt asked and started crying. "Why do you accept this fate? Why don't you want to do something against it?"
"Because we aren't enough for that" Paul Karofsky said. "This way, at least some of us can survive. And there's always hope that the beast would move on, He came from somewhere, he has to leave sooner or later."
"I'm right. I will prove you" Burt said and took a few steps towards the door but two men caught his arms.
"No, Burt. I won't let you do something stupid" the sheriff said. "Even if I have to lock you up for a while."
"I'm not a criminal!" Burt shouted and struggled to break free.
"You're sick. You need time to accept Kurt's death and move on" the sheriff said sadly and motioned his men to led Burt out of the tavern.
Carole and Finn followed them, both of them crying. It was pure torture for them to see Burt led away and locked up in a cell like a criminal. They had no idea how to help the man to accept that Kurt was gone.

Blaine knew that he had done a huge mistake when he hadn't let Kurt see his family. It was obvious since they had gotten back, Kurt pushed him away and didn't need his company at all. Blaine was going crazy from Kurt's behaviour. He needed Kurt, the old Kurt who called him names, fought against him and was always honest with him. He missed that boy so badly, he had to do something to bring Kurt back to his old self.
But it was easier said than done. Since Marley's incident, Blaine had been afraid of losing Kurt. He spent most of his days around him and Cooper, making sure none of them got hurt, but in the end of the day, when the others went to sleep and he could have been alone, Blaine didn't have any rest at all. It wasn't like he didn't need it, especially since he had decided to live without feeding from humans. It made him moody and weak, he was tired all of the time, but he had to stay awake. He was scared that one night he would find Kurt's dead body in the garden and there would no way to bring him back. That thought helped him stay awake. He walked down the corridors, pressed his ear to Kurt's door to hear his breathing, walked inside and watched the boy in his sleep. His parents were unusually quiet since Marley's death but Blaine knew them too well to know they would try to tear Kurt away from him. But he would never let them.
One night he managed to fall asleep somehow. It was the day when Kurt yelled at him for some stupid thing, he didn't even remember what it was, but Kurt slammed his door when Blaine tried to walk in after him and started crying. Kurt cried awfully often, Blaine didn't understand the reason but Kurt must have been upset for some reason. It was what Blaine was thinking about when he fell asleep. He dreamed of Kurt again and he loved the scene running down in front of his eyes. Kurt was beautiful and happy, and on the top of that, Blaine was happy, too.
But the dream ended too soon and Blaine woke up again. It was still dark outside and he had no idea why he opened his eyes, not until he saw a blond woman standing beside his bed. Blaine was surprised. He hadn't seen her for a while, he had thought that she was gone. But here she was, smiling at him just like the day he had seen her the last time.
"Hello, Blaine."
"Evelyn" Blaine whispered.
"It's good to see you again, sweetheart" the woman smiled.
"What are you doing here?" Blaine asked and jumped out of the bed. "Is there something wrong? You never visit me."
"I know and I'm so sorry I couldn't come earlier" Evelyn sighed. "I was... busy. But I had to come because there's something very important I need to tell you."
"What is it?" Blaine asked. He trusted the woman more than anybody else. If she said there was something wrong, Blaine believed her.
"You're in great danger" Evelyn said. "That boy... Kurt... He wants to kill you."
"What? No. Kurt's not like that" Blaine said.
"I saw your future. That boy will betray you and cause your death" Evelyn said.
"I don't believe you!" Blaine said. "It's because of my parents, right? They asked you to tell me these things."
"No, Blaine. I tell you the truth. I swear" Evelyn said.
"No. Stay away from me!" Blaine said weakly but Evelyn was right there, holding his head between her hands.
"I will show you" Evelyn said.
In the next second, Blaine's eyes slammed closed, no matter how hard he tried to keep them open. There were horrible pictures running down in front of his eyes, people attacking his home, fighting against him with all of their anger, and in the end, just pain and nothing more. When Blaine opened his eyes again, he had tears in his eyes.
"But..." he whispered.
"He will leave tonight" Evelyn explained. "He will tell everyone about you and they will come back to kill you."
"But... I-I tried to change. I showed him that I can be a better person..."
"It doesn't matter. Kurt hates you and his feelings will never change" Evelyn growled. "That boy is evil. You have to stop him!"
"How?" Blaine asked.
Evelyn stepped back to him and looked straight into his eyes. Blaine felt dizzy and he would have fallen to his knees if Evelyn hadn't held him. Suddenly, Blaine felt a wave of unbearable pain, anger and hunger running through his body. He felt sick and weaker than before, his teeth were aching and he couldn't breath.
"Do it" Evely whispered.
Blaine blinked and looked up but saw nobody. Evelyn was gone and he was alone in his room again. But that feeling didn't go away. He held one hand over his heart as he struggled to stand up and walk to his door. He had never felt so angry before.

Kurt pressed his ear to the door. It was late and he couldn't hear anybody moving around outside. He took a deep breath and went back to his bed. His plan was mostly done and he had gathered a few things he would need. He was ready to leave but still, something held him back from stepping through the door. He convinced himself that it was his fear for his family, that Blaine would go after him and kill his family if he found Kurt there with them. But it wasn't the only reason he didn't dare step through the door. He tried to forget that stupid thought that Blaine and Cooper needed him, that they would be lost without him but it came back haunting him nonetheless. His chest tightened at the thought of Blaine turning back into that monster he used to be when Kurt had met him the first time. He knew that he shouldn't let it happen.
But what else could he do then? There was no chance that Blaine would let him go, not without fight. But Kurt had to go, he couldn't stay any longer. His family surely missed him just like he missed them. It had to be that way.
Halfheartedly, he stepped to the door again. His mind must have played a cruel game with him, that was why he didn't want to leave. He had spent too much time with Blaine and Cooper, he had been Blaine's prisoner for too long. It had to be the reason why he wanted to stay. It was crazy and he had to shut out those thoughts, so he could finally make the move. His hand was on the handle but it was so hard to open the door. He took a deep breath and forced himself to move. He didn't know how much time he had, he had to act quickly.
But as the door opened, he couldn't take a step forward because he found himself face to face with Blaine. Kurt shrieked and jumped back, away from the door and the man. He dropped the torch he had in his hand and took another few steps away. Blaine seemed so different. He was pale, his eyes were practically glowing and he seemed so angry. God, what if Blaine knew what he was planning?
The man surged forward, grabbed Kurt's wrists and slammed him to the wall.
"Going somewhere?" Blaine hissed into Kurt's ear.
"I-I..."
"Don't try to lie to me, Kurt. I know what you're doing" Blaine said.
"No, Blaine, I..."
"I can't believe I trusted you" Blaine said and shook his head. He seemed really upset. "I was willing to change for you and you betray me like this."
"Blaine, what are you talking about?" Kurt asked.
"I thought we were getting closer to each other" Blaine continued. Kurt frowned when he saw the tears in his eyes. What the hell happened to him? "But I finally know what a person you are and I won't let you do it."
Blaine grabbed Kurt's shirt and ripped it. The boy's eyes widened and screamed as Blaine leaned closer to him and bit his shoulder.
"I should have done it earlier" Blaine said and bit Kurt again.
The boy was desperately struggling in Blaine's hold but the man was just too strong. Kurt could do nothing as Blaine sucked his blood from his wounds and pressed kisses all over his body.
"Blaine, stop!" Kurt begged.
"Shut up! This is what you wanted" Blaine said and grabbed Kurt's hair painfully. "You made a good job. You seduced me and I didn't even notice that you wanted to kill me."
"What? No, Blaine..."
Blaine pressed his lips to Kurt's and kissed him roughly. Kurt tried to turn his head away but Blaine held him still. There was nowhere to go and Kurt was pretty sure that Blaine wanted to kill him. He had no idea why, though. Blaine didn't know what he planned, he couldn't know about it. From the words the man hissed into his ears, he figured out that Blaine believed he wanted to kill him. But why? Kurt didn't even consider that. Sure, he planned to leave the manor but nothing else. He wasn't able to hurt anyone, demon or not.
Blaine pulled away and turned Kurt, so he was facing the wall, and pressed his body back to the boy's to keep him still. He pulled down Kurt's torn shirt and kissed his shoulder and the back of his neck. Kurt felt sick. Even through the material of his pants, he could fell Blaine's hard-on pressed to his ass. He knew what was coming and it made him fight with all of his strength against Blaine.
"No, please..." Kurt whispered through his tears.
"It's all your fault" Blaine said.
He grabbed Kurt and tossed him onto the bed. The boy tried to sit up but Blaine pushed him back down. He climbed over Kurt and kissed him again while he tried to pull his pants down. Kurt fought against him with all of his strength and kept begging him to stop. Blaine didn't listen. He was angry and betrayed, he felt the need to punish Kurt and teach him how to behave.
When Blaine pulled back from him to get out of his pants, Kurt looked around desperately. It was his last chance to do something to stop Blaine because he was sure that the man wouldn't stop on his own. Something was wrong with Blaine, he lost control and he was about to do something Kurt knew none of them wanted. He saw the candle holder in the small table beside his bed and grabbed it without hesitation. He hit Blaine with it, hard, without thinking about the consequences. Kurt had never been so scared in his whole life, he couldn't use his head, just acted in instincts. The blow wasn't strong enough to knock Blaine out but it made him dazed for a few seconds. Kurt pushed him away and jumped out of the bed, running towards the door. He didn't care that he only had his pants on him, he didn't care what was waiting for him outside. One thing was sure, he had to get away from Blaine as fast as possible.
He ran to the front door, opened it and rushed outside. He hissed as he cold air cut into his skin but didn't even consider going back inside. There was a monster who tried to rape him and surely wanted to kill him, everything was better than that.
Kurt rushed through the gate and into the dark forest. He had no idea which way to go, he ran straight between the trees, stumbling in the darkness. He left the manor behind in no time and he found himself alone in the forest. He ran until his strength left him and fell to his knees, crying. He was shaking like a leaf, partly from the cold but mostly because of what had happened in his room. He should have known that Blaine would try to do this to him sooner or later. He was stupid that he thought Blaine wouldn't hurt him. He had killed so many people, why would Kurt be different?
Kurt cried for a while but he had to move. Blaine was surely coming after him and he couldn't find Kurt. The boy didn't want to die, not like this.
He was about to take the next step into the forest and towards his freedom when he heard a low growl from behind. Kurt froze and turned his head slowly. He had been so panicked when he had left, he had completely forgotten how dangerous the forest could be in the middle of the night. There were wolves outside of the manor, he had seen them earlier and he was sure they found him this time. Kurt forced himself to turn around as he heard heavy steps getting closer to him. He was breathing heavily and he was shaking as he raised his eyes to look at the creatures walking in slow circles around him.
There were three of them. They didn't really look like wolves, they were a lot bigger and their fur was floating around them like smoke. Yes, they were definitely not like ordinary wolves. One of them growled again and Kurt turned to look at it. The animal had big red eyes that were glowing in the darkness.
Kurt shook his head and took a step backwards. Another wolf growled at him from behind and Kurt turned around in fear. There was no way to go. He pressed his eyes closed, so at least he couldn't see them. He prepared himself the best he could for the second when they attacked. He tried not to think about the pain, that he was going to die within seconds, that he couldn't see his family again after all... He just hoped that it would be quick.
