Hey everyone! I was sick today, so I did some writing and got a chapter done, so here it is! Hope you enjoy! :)
Chapter 8
Kurt woke an hour later, and looked at Blaine with a fond look. And then he mentally slapped himself. The moonlight streaming through the window illuminated Blaine's cut up and bruised face and body. How could he be so stupid? Blaine was still injured, and injured pretty badly. How could he have forgotten? Blaine was moving around in his sleep, every once in a while letting out a low moan of pain. Kurt bit his lip, before crossing the room and grabbing his phone. He scrolled through the few contacts he had, and got to the 'M's. He pressed call.
"Hello?"
"Hey 'Cedes!" Kurt whispered. Despite the situation, Kurt felt a smile grow on his face.
"Hey boo! How are you?"
"Fine, but you're still in town right?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah, I'm at the house. Why?"
"Can you maybe come to Dalton? I really need you right now, Blaine's hurt pretty badly."
"Are you nuts? How would you explain it to him?" Mercedes replied, referring to her vampire healing powers.
"I er… I kind of told him. But look Mercedes, please, please come!" Kurt begged, voice still a whisper.
"You what! Oh god, Kurt. What have you done? What room are you in?"
"306. Thanks 'Cedes." Kurt felt relieved.
"Whatever, I'll be there within half an hour." Mercedes hung up, still muttering to herself. Kurt placed the phone down and turned to look at Blaine. He looked deathly pale, and Kurt couldn't believe he didn't notice before.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Kurt muttered angrily.
Mercedes ended the call to Kurt, and threw her phone on the bed.
"Idiot! Why would he tell him!" Mercedes shook her head, and looked down at her sweat pants and hoody she was currently wearing. She groaned, and went into the closet to change. She reemerged later sporting jeans and a leather jacket with a red tank top underneath. She scanned the room again, and then left the house through the front door.
She tried to think where the school was; she had casually cruised by a few times just to get a look at the place. She looked up the street, then down, before taking off at a sprint up the street, she ran straight through the intersection, easily dodging the cars speeding through it. She accidentally nicked a speeding car, causing it to swerve and the confused driver to honk loudly, looking around. Mercedes let out a yelp of pain, but kept going. She pressed her hand to her hip, concentrating her healing powers on it as she ran. Within seconds, the pain was gone, the hip mended. She sped faster still, taking turns quickly and soon moving to the forest to cut time. She ignored the call of the deer's blood that she passed, her mind focused on Kurt and his Blaine. She soon came upon the fence surrounding the school. She paused, and looked for a way over the fence. She spied a tree with low branches that would allow her to jump over the fence. Mercedes climbed up lithely, and jumped from the branch over the fence, and landed on the ground with a muted thud. She dusted herself off, before quickly speeding towards a set of doors into the school.
Mercedes slid through the doors, and spied a staircase. She sped up the stairs, and was soon on the third floor outside room 306.
"Kurt!" Mercedes hissed. She heard shuffling inside the room, and the door creaked opened, and Kurt's blue-green eyes peeked out. The door swung open.
Kurt opened the door, and immediately gathered Mercedes in a hug.
"Thank you, thank you for coming! Please, he's in the bed." Kurt gestured to the boy in the bed, still asleep. Mercedes gasped, and walked over to him. Kurt kneeled by Blaine's head on the floor.
"Blaine, love? Wake up. Blaine!" Kurt lightly shook Blaine, and Blaine jolted, and his sleepy eyes opened and blinked a few times. He then noticed Mercedes standing at the end of his bed.
"Whozat?" He mumbled.
"Blaine, this is Mercedes. She's also a vampire, and her special power is healing; she's going to help you." Kurt said. Blaine rubbed his eyes.
"Kurt, I hurt all over," Blaine whined.
"Mercedes," Kurt called, and she came and kneeled beside Kurt.
"Just close your eyes, sweetie." Mercedes murmured, and Blaine did so obediently. Mercedes placed her hands on either side of Blaine's head, her dark skin contrasting with Blaine's deathly pale. Her eyes fluttered closed, her chest rising in steady, unnecessary breaths. Kurt stood behind Mercedes, hands fidgeting and biting his lip. Blaine let loose a moan, and Kurt rushed forward. The moan was of relief though, as the cuts and bruises were visibly shrinking, and Blaine's previously unsteady breathing was now strong and even. Mercedes held her hands there for a few more moments, before standing and staring down at Blaine, admiring her work.
"You should be all better now, Blaine." Mercedes paused, then added, "Next time be more careful." Kurt cracked a small smile and Blaine full out laughed.
"Thank-you, so, so much. I feel amazing now. We haven't been fully introduced." Blaine sat up, and offered his hand.
"Blaine Anderson." Mercedes looked down at her hand, and with a grin, swept Blaine into a massive hug. Blaine let out a gasp of surprise, and started laughing, before wrapping his arms around Mercedes. Kurt felt awkward standing there, so he joined the hug. He rested his head on Mercedes shoulder, and breathed in her scent. The vanilla scent mixed with the general scent of vampires was better than any cologne, and was home to Kurt.
"Well this is nice," Mercedes said awkwardly with a smile, and the group laughed and disentangled from each other.
"Mercedes Jones, by the way." Mercedes said, nodding to Blaine. A grin spread over his face.
"You vampires are so lucky, going on and off campus so easily. I haven't been outside Dalton in months… almost a year actually." Blaine frowned, and Kurt looked at Mercedes, eyes alight with an idea. Mercedes instantly caught on, and rolled her eyes, but nodded none-the-less.
"Well then, Blaine. Would you care for a … field trip?" Kurt said, smirking. Blaine's face lit up.
"Yes! Yes! Oh please! Can we go get a cheeseburger or something? I haven't had one in agesss…" Blaine drew out the 's'. Kurt laughed. It was going to be a little tricky getting Blaine out, but far from impossible. Kurt shot a look at the blue lit up numbers on the alarm clock; 2:45am. Kurt slid open the window, and peeked outside. Mercedes drew beside him, and gracefully slid out, landing on the grass below. Kurt turned to Blaine, and opened his arms.
"What?" Blaine asked, head tilted. Kurt sighed.
"Blaine, you're not going to be in any state to go out if you jump from three stories up. Just come here." Kurt moved forward, and picked Blaine up and carried him bridal style to the window. Blaine felt like he weighed little more than a doll. Kurt managed to fit both of them through the small window, and dropped like a stone to the grass, taking care with his landing so as not to jolt Blaine too much. Blaine squirmed a bit when Kurt still held him in his arms after landing on the ground.
"You can put me down now…" Blaine said. Kurt shook his head.
"It'll be faster this way," he turned his head to look for Mercedes, and spotted her up ahead, her head obviously scouting out any possible guards. She turned back to look at him, nodding, before sprinting towards the tree and waiting there.
"But Kuurt," Blaine whined. Kurt shushed him, and with a quick glance around, sped off towards the tree, clamping his hand over Blaine's mouth after the yelp he had released. Kurt skidded to a stop at the bottom of the tree, and saw Mercedes already on the other side of the fence.
"Now?" Blaine asked, sarcasm evident in his voice. Kurt shook his head again, and shifted Blaine so he was draped over his shoulder.
"Hey!" Blaine hissed. Kurt merely shushed him again as he quickly scaled the tree, and leaped over the fence, landing as soft as he could. He finally set Blaine down on his feet. Blaine brushed himself off, his chin held high defiantly. Kurt rolled his eyes. The three set off through the forest, and towards town. The journey was rather uneventful, and slow in Kurt and Mercedes' opinion, but Kurt didn't mind. When the lights of the town lay just ahead, and the somehow even brighter lights of the golden arches, Kurt stopped abruptly. His head whipped around, his nose inhaling the scent of some deer that, Kurt cocked his head, were passing to his right, some fifty yards away. He licked his lips, he hadn't hunted in a while. He shuddered, as the heartbeats became audible. A strong yet reassuring hand landed on his shoulder.
"Kurt, come on. Go hunting tomorrow night, let's go." Mercedes whispered in his ear, and Kurt could hear the underlying demand in her tone. He groaned, and pushed the thought of his almost meal from his mind, focusing instead on the McDonalds just up the road. The three moved on.
The restaurant was mainly empty, save a few dodgier looking characters sitting at a table in the far corner. Kurt, Blaine and Mercedes moved up to the counter to order. A girl of about sixteen stood behind the register, and looked really tired. She seemed to wake up a bit more when she saw Kurt, her hand going to her hair. She suspiciously looked at Blaine's Dalton hoodie. Kurt groaned inwardly, he had forgotten about that. Kurt gave the girl a smile, and darkened his irises a tad. He leaned over the counter, and spoke in a low voice that caused the girl to visibly shudder.
"Could I get a Diet Coke for myself, a cheeseburger for my friend, and Mercedes do you want anything?" Kurt asked, not breaking eye contact with the girl. Mercedes declined, and Kurt made a show of fumbling around in his pockets.
"Oh, it appears I've forgotten my wallet," Kurt looked down for a moment, before looking up under his lashes at the young brunette girl.
"I'm sorry to have wasted your time," Kurt said sadly, as he slowly turned. He hadn't gotten far, when the girl called out to him.
"No problem! We've got to get rid of the burgers anyways… No charge," she said quickly. A grin spread over Kurt's face, but he composed it when he turned around.
"I don't want you to get into any trouble, over little old me." Kurt practically purred. The girl trembled, before nodding vigorously.
"No problem, none at all. I'll bring your food out in a minute, feel free to take a seat." Kurt gave her another smile, and nodded and walked over to a table in the middle of the seating area. Mercedes walked past, tutting at Kurt.
"You ass, you nearly gave that girl an orgasm!" Kurt laughed, and even Blaine cracked a smile. He had been awfully quiet during the exchange, but it was rather because he found himself getting turned on by this sexy side of Kurt.
"I didn't have any money," Kurt said defensively, although the smug smile never left his face.
"You're not even into girls," Mercedes muttered, rolling her eyes. Kurt grinned.
The girl shakily made her way to their table, carrying a tray. She placed it on the table, smiled at Kurt, and hurried away. Kurt looked at the food, there was a large Diet Coke, and three burgers. Blaine's eyes lit up, and he grabbed for one. He unwrapped it, and tore off the receipt stuck to the wrapping. He studied it for a moment, before breaking out in loud guffaws. He flicked the receipt to Kurt, who studied it for a moment before the smug smile re-attached itself to his face. The girl had written her phone number, in a pink pen with a heart beside it. The name above it said Julie. Mercedes was shaking her head, as Blaine eagerly bit into the burger.
"Mmm," Blaine moaned as he bit into the burger. Kurt smiled, as Blaine quickly devoured the first burger, taking a little longer on the second, and savoring the third. Only once Blaine's fingers were licked clean and Kurt's pop was finished, did the three rise out of their seats. They walked quickly to the door, and Kurt paused, and turned back. Julie was at the register, watching him.
"Thanks, Julie," Kurt purred, winked, and blew her a kiss as he walked backwards out the door. Kurt grinned as he met up with Mercedes and Blaine down the street. He got a light cuff on the back of the head, along with a muttered, 'arrogant asshole,' from Mercedes which had him laughing once more. Blaine kept a dopey smile on his face.
"That was awesome," he said dreamily. Kurt smiled and put an arm around his shoulders. Mercedes stopped at an intersection.
"I'm going to head home, you take care Kurt. Nice meeting you, Blaine!" She pulled them both into a hug, before turning down the street while Kurt and Blaine went straight on into the forest. Kurt pulled out his phone, and checked the time. 4:36am. Kurt sighed; he didn't need sleep, but Blaine did.
"Blaine? We gotta get home," Kurt said. Blaine just nodded, and kept walking.
"Like soon," Blaine didn't even register what Kurt meant until he was draped over his shoulder once again, moving at inhuman speed towards the school. Blaine didn't care, he was full and happy, and so just rolled his eyes. Blaine was rather steady on Kurt's shoulder, he wasn't jostled much. So it was no surprise when Blaine fell asleep just inside the fence of Dalton. Kurt smiled, and lightly adjusted Blaine as he got to the wall under his window, and scaled the wall quickly, and slipped in his window. He placed Blaine on his own bed and closed the window. He looks so peaceful and young, Kurt thought. And he did; curls slightly messy, curled up, and lips slightly parted. His chest rose and fell evenly. Kurt slipped into sweatpants, set the alarm on his phone, and curled up behind Blaine, his arms wrapped around his chest and midsection. Kurt's hand was pressed against Blaine's heart, and he felt almost envious of its steady beat. Kurt sighed, snuggled closer to Blaine and pressed a light kiss on his neck, and fell asleep.
