Thank you all for the reviews! It's weird, I've never actually read my own story. Like I've read it while I'm writing it, but never completely. Anyways, enjoy!
Chapter 12
Kurt got up slowly, and looked at himself in the mirror, his arms gripping the edge of the countertop roughly. I'm a monster. Look at me. I've been living in this pretend world for far too long. I cannot be domestic; I am a monster. I hunt, I kill. Kurt looked his reflection in the eyes, and was horrified to see his eyes turning black. As the shock wore off, Kurt realized something, and a gasp fell through his lips. No, no, not again. This is what happened… what happened when I lost control. I can't, I can-
A knock on the door jarred Kurt as he spun around, a hiss leaving his mouth.
"K-Kurt?" Blaine called through the door. The monster that was threatening to surface let out a roar that Kurt barely managed to keep inside him.
"Kurt? Please, talk to me… please," Blaine pleaded. The monster let out a snarl, and Kurt tightened his hold on the countertop; not that it would do anything.
"No, no, nonono," Kurt whimpered. He turned back to the mirror, as he fumbled with the levers on the sink. He risked a glance at his reflection and nearly let out a sob; his eyes were black, the only colour left in them was the specks of red that sparked through his eyes. He turned the cold water on, and he looked down at his hands; hands that were turning into claws. He scooped some of the water in his hand, and splashed it against his face. The monster let out a hiss, but his hands stopped their change, and began to reverse into normal hands. It appeared the monster within wasn't ready to forfeit yet; his eyes were still dark.
"Kurt!" Blaine yelled, louder and more frantic now. Kurt spun around,
"Blaine! Go!" he snarled, in a voice utterly unlike his own. Kurt furiously spun back to the mirror and did the only thing he could think of. He drew back his fist, and smashed the mirror right in the reflection's face. The mirror shattered with a loud crack, as Kurt slumped to the floor, breathing hard. He picked up a larger piece of the shattered mirror and looked into it. His shoulders slumped with relief; his eyes were normal.
"Kurt? Are you alright? I don't care, I'm coming in, Kurt!" Blaine yelled, before he expertly picked the lock and barged in. His mouth fell open when he saw the shards of glass all over the floor.
"What happened?" Blaine asked. Kurt didn't respond.
"Kurt? Come on, let's go. We need to talk. Come on!" Blaine stepped forward and pulled Kurt's arm, as Kurt rose. The shard of mirror fell from Kurt's limp fingers, cracking slightly as it hit the floor.
Blaine managed to get Kurt to the bed, and pushed him back lightly until he was leaning back against the headboard. Blaine sat by Kurt's knees and looked at Kurt.
"Kurt, you have to talk to me," Blaine said. Kurt stared straight ahead.
"For fuck's sake!" Blaine exploded; the question that had been plaguing his mind for the past while made itself known. "Talk to me! Is this bite going to change me?" Kurt seemingly broke out of his trance, his eyes moving to the piece of tissue that was stuck against Blaine's neck against the bite mark.
"No," Kurt said softly. "No. I didn't release any venom…" Something seemed to awaken in Kurt. "God, Blaine. I-I'm so sorry. I've gotten so comfortable having you around that I keep forgetting you're human and I'm a vampire. You're my natural… my natural prey. I thought I could control it, but… but I guess I couldn't. I guess one of the main reasons I lost control was because it's been over two weeks since I hunted… but still. God Blaine, I'm so sorry," Kurt said, meeting Blaine's gaze as he pulled his knees to his chest.
"Kurt, this isn't all your fault. I've been forgetting that I've been living with a vampire… I've been taking your self-control for granted." Blaine sighed, "You need to hunt."
"I do," Kurt surprised himself by agreeing so quickly. "I don't want to leave you alone though."
"I could come?" Blaine asked, and Kurt's head snapped up.
"Are you insane? After what happened already, you're really going to suggest being around me when I'm in my hunting mindset? Blaine. When I hunt… I don't think; I rely on my instincts. I have no emotions. You could just as easily be my next meal…" Kurt focused at a spot on the wall behind Blaine.
"Okay, okay. Mercedes said she was coming back today, right? So when she's back, you can go and hunt and I'll stay with Mercedes?" Blaine offered. Kurt considered before nodding.
"I'll give her a call and see when she's planning on being back." As Kurt got up off of the bed and grabbed his phone, Blaine snuck a glance at the time. 1:37pm. Blaine flopped back against the fluffy pillows that were scattered on the bed, and let his mind go adrift; his fingers absent-mindedly tracing over the bite in his neck.
Kurt came back into the room.
"She said she was gonna be back around four. What… what do you want to do until then?" Even though Blaine had said that he didn't blame Kurt for what happened, Kurt still had a depressed look on his face. Blaine walked over and gave him a peck on the lips, but Kurt stepped back.
"Kurt…" Blaine began, but Kurt just shook his head. Blaine sighed, but he understood.
"Want to watch a movie?" Blaine offered. Kurt nodded and they headed out to the TV room.
"What movie?" Kurt asked, as he dropped to his knees, rummaging around in a large box. Blaine crouched beside him, although keeping a little distance between the two.
"Depends what you've got." Kurt kept searching through the DVDs until Blaine's hand shot out and grabbed one. Kurt let a smile grace his face.
"Really, Blaine?" Kurt asked. Blaine grinned.
"You're the one who owns it," Blaine said, as he turned on the TV and pushed the copy of Twilight into the DVD player.
"Only because Taylor Lautner's in it…" Kurt muttered before settling on the couch. Blaine frowned, as he pulled up his shirt to expose his stomach. He poked at his abs.
"These not good enough for you?" Blaine said, pouting. Kurt laughed in spite of his mood.
"They're perfect. You're perfect. Now let's start the movie," Kurt pressed a button on the remote and Blaine shut off the lights as he sat down. He cuddled up to Kurt, but Kurt flinched.
"B-blaine, please," he said softly, and Blaine nodded reluctantly before moving to the other end of the couch. He turned his attention to the movie to watch Bella drive to the airport.
Blaine had dozed off, but was woken by Kurt's scoff at the screen. Blaine blearily looked to the TV to see Edward appear shirtless and sparkling in a dewy meadow. He looked over at Kurt who was shaking his head. Kurt met his gaze.
"Stupid, that's what Edward Cullen is." Kurt sneered Edward's name. Blaine smiled, and let his head fall back against the pillow, watching the movie through one open eye.
Blaine woke next when the couch shifted. Kurt smiled down apologetically at him.
"Sorry," he said. "Did you enjoy the movie?" Kurt added, smirking. Blaine just grunted. Kurt walked slowly towards Blaine's head. Blaine couldn't help but notice that Kurt looked shifty and frantic.
"Mercedes is home early. So I'm gonna head out now…" Kurt swooped down and pressed a quick kiss into Blaine's hair. Blaine sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Stop being so adorable." Blaine frowned, and Kurt smiled. "Love you," Kurt added. Blaine looked up at Kurt.
"Love you too," Kurt headed out for the front door while Blaine made his way to Mercedes in the kitchen. He could have sworn he heard Blaine say something to Mercedes about 'roomie bonding time'. Kurt smiled, and gently shut the door before sprinting off down the street.
Blaine wandered into the kitchen and saw Mercedes pulling things out of her purse. First a cell phone, followed by a wallet.
"Hey Mercedes, up for some of what I like to call 'roomie bonding time'?" Blaine asked. Mercedes looked up and smiled. Her eyes then went to the bite on Blaine's neck.
"Hey, Blaine. How are ya feeling?" She asked, putting down her bag and turning around.
"I'm alright. So is Kurt still here?" Blaine asked. Mercedes cocked her head, before shaking her head.
"So, he told me what happened this morning…" Mercedes trailed off awkwardly. Blaine shrugged.
"I guess we got too comfortable with each other, and I guess I forgot I was living with vampires…" Mercedes nodded.
"Do… do you want me to heal you?" Mercedes asked hesitantly. Blaine's fingers went up and touched the bite lightly, and let out a hiss of pain.
"Yeah, that'd be nice." Blaine said gratefully, as he sunk into a chair. Mercedes walked over and pressed her fingers against the wound, but Blaine felt no pain. A cooling feeling spread through the bite and Blaine relaxed in his chair once Mercedes took her hand away.
"Thank-you, Mercedes," Blaine said, giving her a smile.
"No problem, but since it's a vampire bite, I can't totally get rid of it." She handed Blaine a small mirror from her purse which revealed the two slightly red dots on Blaine's neck. "It'll fade soon though."
"You're wonderful," Blaine gushed, standing up and hugging Mercedes.
"Don't mention it. So, what do you want to do tonight? Have you eaten already?" Mercedes asked. Blaine shook his head. She smiled, and began rummaging through the cupboards and fridge.
An hour later found the pair sitting around the small coffee table in the living room.
"So, you really were born in the 14th century?" Blaine asked excitedly. Mercedes grinned.
"Yeah, something like that."
"And you can heal people, cause of that one time you healed me, remember?" Blaine said, thinking back to the Karofsky incident. Mercedes shook her head, laughing.
"You seem awful excited."
"Well you're awfully exciting!" Blaine responded. As their laughter died down, Blaine's face grew sober.
"So, I uh, asked Kurt if I could maybe come hunting with him tonight. Like just watch, y'know? And he totally flipped out on me… What is hunting like?" Blaine asked hesitantly. Mercedes bit her lip.
"I'm not surprised… it would be incredibly dangerous. I guess the easiest way to think of it, is that vampires basically have two people in their body: their human, day-to-day one… and then there's the er… monster… I guess is the dramatic way of putting it." Blaine looked up.
"Monster? You guys seem so nice though…"
"You've never seen us hunt. Anyways Blaine, the monster… it doesn't have emotions… it doesn't sympathize with its prey. They only thing it knows is kill, and feed. We have to be very careful where we hunt and choose it before hand, because once we scent our prey and get into the hunting mindset, we can't think straight, much less choose prey. It would take nothing short of a miracle that could stop a vampire mid-hunt."
"How do you er… choose your prey then?" Blaine asked slowly. Mercedes sighed.
"We usually go downtown and choose either a homeless person or a criminal. However, if we've lost control… it's whoever is unfortunate to cross us first." Mercedes gave a shudder, as she thought back to her own experience with that. She shook her head to clear it and looked at Blaine.
"H-have you ever lost control?" Blaine asked.
"Yes, unfortunately. Not for some while now though…"
"Has Kurt?" Mercedes bit her lip.
"Yes." Blaine looked intrigued, but scared at the same time.
"If you don't mind me asking… but when? Was it recently?" Blaine said. Mercedes sighed.
"Yeah, it… it was the night when he walked in on you and Cameron." Blaine stilled, and his mouth fell open.
"Oh… what happened?" Blaine seemed like he was in shock. Mercedes rested a hand on his arm.
"It… it was bad. You know how he is a shapeshifter?" Blaine nodded. "Well that basically allows the monster within him to take physical form when he loses control. He's usually very good at controlling his shapeshifting… but he was just too far gone to do anything." Blaine looked guilty.
"Who… who did he kill?" Blaine said softly, not meeting Mercedes gaze.
"A… a couple teenagers in the park." Blaine gasped again, as he thought back to a newspaper article he had read around that time.
"Oh... god."
Kurt crouched in a tall tree in the middle of the forest. He looked down at the pack of deer he had been trailing; his last prey of the night. He was feeling way more in control of himself now. He had opted for animals tonight, seeing as he still wasn't quite over the spectacle in the morning. He had been trailing the herd of deer for some time now, using the time to think over his situation. Blaine was going to have to be turned soon… but when? They hadn't really had a chance to talk this morning about his change. Kurt sighed, and decided to crash the deer's party. Kurt shut down his mind, dropped from the tree, and tried to stop thinking.
Kurt sank his fangs into the deer's neck, the heartbeat drumming loud enough to be heard by human ears. As the hot liquid squirted into his mouth, he couldn't help but compare it to Blaine's blood this morning. Kurt shook the thought, and with a snarl, jumped onto the other deer's back. Kurt drank and drank until he was full, and then he had more, as a safety precaution. Kurt knew he was going to have to turn Blaine soon. Possibly tomorrow. He couldn't risk anything harming Blaine.
His Blaine.
When Kurt entered the dark house half an hour later, he wandered into his room to find Blaine still awake and tucked in bed.
"Hey," Blaine murmured. Kurt smiled back at him before shedding his clothes, aside from his underwear, and hopped into bed. Kurt gave Blaine a quick peck on the lips before sighing. He turned onto his side and looked into Blaine's eyes.
"We've gotta talk," Kurt said, searching Blaine's hazel eyes. Blaine's face registered shock for a brief moment, before he composed it.
"W-why?" Blaine said.
"I think it's time to turn you…" Kurt looked up. Blaine let loose a grin,
"I thought you would never ask." Kurt frowned.
"Can you just be serious, please?" Kurt asked.
"I think it's time to turn you…" Kurt said. Blaine instantly grinned. I should probably be a little more scared about turning into a vampire… Blaine thought. But holy fuck! Finally.
"Yeah, sorry, Kurt. It's just, I'm so excited, because just spending the rest of my life with you isn't good enough Kurt… I want forever. Forever with you." Blaine stared into Kurt's eyes, before drawing him close with a hand on his neck and connecting their lips softly. Kurt gasped, and Blaine slid his tongue into Kurt's mouth. He bit down on Kurt's bottom lip, forcing a whine from the other boy.
"B-blaine…" Kurt managed while Blaine continued his assault on Kurt's neck.
"Blaine." Kurt said, more forcefully now, leaning away from Blaine's teasing lips. Blaine frowned, and looked up at Kurt, looking like a puppy whose favourite toy had just gotten taken away.
"Come on, we have to talk about this, okay?" Kurt said. Blaine sighed reluctantly, and settled back on his side.
"What is there to talk about?" Blaine asked.
"You know that once we turn you, we're going to have to go away for a while. And I'm not sure if Mercedes would come, because she was saying a couple weeks ago that she met a… er… 'special someone'. And are you ready to say goodbye to Wes, David, Jeff and Nick?" Kurt asked. Blaine shrugged.
"Kurt, I just want to be with you. And, I know it sounds bad… but I haven't really even thought about the guys since I've been here." Blaine paused, and his eyes lit up. "Also, once I'm turned… that means we can have sex right?" Kurt's mouth fell open and he lightly cuffed Blaine on the arm.
"Blaine!" he shrieked, before covering his mouth hastily.
"Ow. And I'll take that as a yes. So yes, I'm ready then. Bite me." Blaine said, arching his neck. Kurt swallowed as he watched his boyfriend expose his neck for him and Kurt subconsciously licked his lips.
"Uh, wait. What happens? Is the change like on Twilight?" Blaine asked. Kurt cracked a smile.
"In a way, I guess. After the venom hits your bloodstream, you fall into a coma-like state for three hours, which is when the venom starts working and begins to stop your heart and changes you. If you are going to have any special powers, that's when they would develop, as well as any imperfections you may have, not that I think you have any of course, would be fixed. Your natural beauty is enhanced as well, which you've got in spades." Kurt finished. Blaine nodded.
"Okay, I'm ready." He said determinedly.
"You're totally sure? Because you know this is permanent…" Kurt said. Blaine nodded.
"Yes, yes I know. Kurt?" Blaine asked. Kurt looked up.
"Will… will it hurt?" Blaine said, sounding very young. Kurt bit his lip.
"The bite will hurt, but just for a moment, because almost right after, you'll fall into the coma. So you're unconscious for the whole change."
"Okay. Do it." Kurt nodded, and leaned over, and pressed his lips against Blaine's neck. He paused, and brought his lips up to Blaine's ear.
"I love you, so, so much." Kurt whispered.
"I love you Kurt. Forever." Blaine echoed, and Kurt pressed a kiss at Blaine's pulse point, taking a moment to listen to Blaine's heart beat for what may be the last time, before he opened his mouth and sunk his fangs into Blaine's neck. Blaine let out a small gasp of pain. Working quickly, Kurt forced his brain away from the hunting instincts, and rather the ones for transforming. Kurt could almost feel the venom flow from his fangs into Blaine, as Blaine stilled and went limp against the bed. Kurt pulled back and wiped his mouth. He looked down at Blaine, who was now lying unconscious against the pillows, a drop of blood dripped from the wound on his neck. Kurt brushed a kiss against Blaine's temple before retreating into a chair in the corner of the room to wait.
