Hi!

I'm sorry I didn't update last week. I have some problems with my right eye and I have to get injections, so probably there will be weeks I won't be able to finish a new chapter and I will update later.

Sofia Michelle: Not too far from the truth.:)

Warning: Blaine's homophobe father is back!

There was a long silence in the room as everybody stared at Blaine in disbelief.

"What... but... you can't be serious!" Finn said finally.

"I am! I can never forget this face! He was the one who ripped out my mother's heart!" Blaine yelled. Kurt took a tentative step towards him.

"Blaine, please, calm down..." he started as he placed his hand on Blaine's shoulder but the boy shook it off.

"No! I don't want to calm down! I want to find that bastard!" Blaine said and Kurt stepped back hastily as he saw Blaine's bright red eyes. He was really angry.

"Blaine, please..." Kurt whispered. Blaine looked at him, biting his lip. He took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes to calm himself down. He didn't want to scare Kurt.

"I'll be outside" he said and stepped out of the room before anybody could respond.

"Go after him" Finn told Kurt. "I'll call his dad."

Kurt nodded and left the room to go after Blaine. He didn't want to meet Blaine's father again but he knew they needed his help to find the man. He found Blaine quickly, he was sitting in the waiting room.

"Are you okay?" he asked and sat down next to the boy. Blaine looked up at him, his eyes were still red and very sad.

"I-I don't know. This is too much, I think" he replied and hugged Kurt, pulling the boy closer to him.

"It's gonna be okay. Finn and his men will find him and lock him up" Kurt said and kissed Blaine's hair.

"This is just so scary" Blaine said after a few minutes. "I know we don't know each other for a long time but you're very important for me. I don't want to lose you."

He took Kurt's hand and kissed it. The other boy sighed and squeezed his hand, pulling away.

"He won't hurt me, I promise" he said but he wasn't sure if he will be able to keep his promise. Kurt was just as terrified as Blaine, but he didn't want to show it.

"What was so important, Hudson? I have to work if you don't know" John Anderson said as he stepped into the room where Finn was waiting for him. He sent one of his men to go and find the boys as he saw Blaine's father arriving.

"We've found some pictures of the man who tried to attack the boys the other day" Finn said and stood up as he saw the boys arriving.

John glared at them as they entered the room with joined hands but didn't say anything. He turned back to Finn when the boys took their seats as far away from him as possible.

"I still don't see why I'm here" he said and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"The man who attacked Kurt here and at his old home... he was the one who killed Mom" Blaine said quietly. John immediately turned towards him.

"This is insane. You don't even remember your mother, Blaine. You were too young when she passed away" his father replied, but Blaine shook his head and stood up.

"No, I'm sure he was the one but you saw him, too. I know you did, he turned towards you when he escaped."

John rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to deny his son's statement, but Blaine stepped to him with one of the pictures.

"See? He is the one" Blaine said and handed the picture to John. The man looked at it brifely like he didn't care.

"I don't remember. Yeah, maybe you're right. Then what? We didn't find him then and we won't find him now."

Finn and Kurt stared at the man in disbelief. He was finally one step closer to the killer of his wife and he didn't even care?

"You can't be so sure" Finn spoke up. "My best men are working on the case. Trust me, they fill find him. He can't be too far. He followed Kurt here for some reason."

"Good luck, Hudson. But I have to remind you, you're part of the council, so it would be great if you worked more on that then the case of your fag brother's stalker."

Kurt sighed and rolled his eyes. Really? Again? He felt pity for Blaine to have such a bad person as his father.

"His name is Kurt and he is my boyfriend, so you should be more respectful" Blaine growled.

"Just leave him" Kurt waved. He knew from the past that they can't convince people like John Anderson that their thoughts are wrong.

"No! He can't do this!" Blaine said and stepped to his father. "You should know that you can never change me. I will never fall in love with a woman because it's impossible, I can't feel that way towards them. But I love Kurt and I hope he will be my mate someday. So you should just accept it."

John stared at his son with anger. As Blaine spoke, his eyes changed into a bright red. As Blaine finished, he didn't say a word as Kurt thought he will, he just turned around and left the room. When they were alone, Blaine let out the breath he didn't know he was holding and sat down on the next chair shakily.

"You were great" Kurt said as he jumped to him and hugged his boyfriend.

"Thank you" Blaine murmured into Kurt's hair and enjoyed his closeness for a long moment before turning to Finn. "Finn, I'm sure he was the one who killed my mother, even if my father won't affirm it."

Finn nodded with a small smile.

"I know. And don't worry, we will find him. He will pay for what he did."

The boys were busy in the next few weeks. The time to go to Nationals was close and they had to practise as much as they could. Finn didn't have news and Kurt started thinking that they won't find the man anytime soon. It made him and Blaine more and more nervous and wasn't good for their relationship either. They even had a fight a few days earlier which wasn't good considering they were only together for a little over a month. He was thinking about it the afternoon they were sitting in the common room with the other Warblers and didn't pay attention to the pointless argument about their song list.

"...What do you think, Kurt?" Wes asked and Kurt came back to reality fast. He blinked and looked around, everybody was staring at him expectantly.

"I... I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention" he admitted.

"I asked if you want the Pink solo for the Nationals" Wes said irritably.

"I..." Kurt started but he changed his mind. "Do we have to do Pink again? I mean, I really like her songs but there are so many other performers whose songs we can choose from."

He knew he shouldn't have said that at the moment he finished his sentence.

"When we graduate and you will take one of the places in the council, you can choose the songs the Warblers sing. Now, it's not your duty" Wes said icily and Kurt looked down.

"Okay, I think Blaine should have the solo" David spoke up. "He is our lead singer and I think he could handle it."

Kurt saw that everybody agreed with this decision. He nodded and looked down with a sigh. Sometimes he really hated that they couldn't have a word in the council.

"I have a better idea" Blaine said suddenly and Kurt looked up. He didn't know what was in his boyfriend's mind.

"And what is it?" Wes asked and smiled at the boy. Of course, he liked Blaine, not like Kurt.

"I think we should have a duet" Blaine said and smiled at Kurt. "Kurt has a great voice and I would be happy if I could sing with him."

Wow, that was knew. But not just for him, as he saw the other's expressions.

"I don't think it's a good idea..." Wes started but Jeff cut in.

"Yes it is. It would be so romantic, don't you think, Nick?" he looked at his mate and knew he would support him.

"I think Jeff's right. Kurt and Blaine would be fantastic together" Nick said, smiling at Kurt. They became good friends, even if Kurt wasn't staying in the dorms anymore.

"Okay, let's vote" Wes sighed. "Who's in favour to give Blaine and Kurt the duet?"

Most of the guys raised their hands. Wes rolled his eyes.

"Than I think this is decided. Let's see the other song..."

~ o ~

"Do you have to go?" Blaine asked as they left the common room after the practice. Kurt nodded sadly.

"Yes. You know I have to go home."

Kurt really hated these moments of the day, when he went home with Ryder and couldn't stay with Blaine. He missed the moments they shared when he stayed in the school for the nights.

"But you could come over on Friday" Kurt hastily added as he saw Blaine's sad eyes. "We have to pick out the perfect song for Nationals."

"Actually, I have a few ideas" Blaine said, smiling. "So we could make it short and go out for a date?"

Blaine was so hopeful, Kurt didn't want to say no, even if he wasn't comfortable in public anymore.

"I have to talk to Finn, but I think we deserved a night for ourselves" he said finally.

"Great" Blaine said happily and jumped into the air. Kurt shook his head. Sometimes the boy acted like a 5-year-old. "I'll plan something, you don't have to worry about it."

"Fine" Kurt replied and kissed Blaine before he left the school.

~ o ~

"Hi, Finn" Blaine greeted him as he stepped into the house. It was Friday, he arrived early, so he and Kurt could discuss their song before going to the cinema.

"Hi, Blaine. How are you?" Finn asked with a smile.

"Fine, thank you" Blaine responded. They heard footsteps and in a second, Kurt appeared in the hall.

"Hi" he smiled and kissed Blaine. Finn looked away awkwardly as every time he saw a kissing couple. He felt like he disturbed something.

"I go back to the study, I have some things to do. You two can stay in the living room or in Kurt's room. Just don't close the door" he said with a serious nod as he tried to act like any parent would.

"Don't worry, Finn, we won't do anything we shouldn't" Kurt said with an eyeroll and pulled Blaine towards the stairs.

"Yeah, of course" Finn muttered. He remembered very well what he and Rachel did when the parents weren't around.

"So, did you find anything we could sing?" Kurt asked as they entered his room and he sat down, pulling Blaine with him.

"Actually, I have a whole list" Blaine said proudly and took out the list from his pocket. Kurt took it and started reading.

"Uhm... don't get me wrong, I think Katy Perry is fantastic, but... don't we have anything else?" Kurt asked carefully because he knew very well how much Blaine loved the singer.

"What's the problem with Katy Perry?" Blaine asked, not suprising Kurt. The boy bit lip, trying to figure out what to say.

"It's just... I thought we could do something... classical" Kurt admitted. Blaine stared at him for a long moment and then nodded.

"Okay. Then let's find some classical songs and we will choose from them."

Kurt smiled and kissed him deeply. It was easier than he expected.

"Thank you" he whispered into Blaine's ear.

~ o ~

"Okay, this was the last time I let you select the film" Kurt said as they left the cinema and wiped his eyes. They watched The Theory of Everything, and he had to admit that it was fantastic, although he cried through the biggest part of it.

"Why? This film was fantastic, don't you think?" Blaine asked enthusiastically.

"It was so sad" Kurt replied.

"No, it wasn't" Blaine said. "Stephen and Jane are both so strong. They gave example how to handle the most horrible happenings in our life."

Kurt stopped suddenly. With everything he had gone through in the last few months, he forgot that life could be even worse. He had Blaine and Finn at least.

"Did I say something wrong?" Blaine asked uncertainly.

"No... No. You're right" Kurt answered and started walking towards the small restaurant where they wanted to eat dinner.

"Are you sure?" Blaine asked and peeked behind them for a second to check if their guards are following them.

"Yeah. Let's have dinner" Kurt said and stepped into the restaurant first.

They sat down and ordered food without talking to each other.

"You're unusually quiet. What's wrong?" Blaine asked finally and took Kurt's hand. The other boy looked up and sighed.

"I was just thinking about what you said. You know, after my father's death I was unbearable. I even yelled at Finn when he came to visit me in the hospital. I should have taken it better" Kurt answered quietly.

"You did nothing wrong" Blaine said and squeezed Kurt's hand. "You went through a lot in a short time, of course you weren't yourself. I wasn't better when my mother died. I didn't want to eat or talk to anybody. I needed weeks to realise that my life wasn't over."

"Yes, but I was horrible. Really. I was rude and didn't listen to anybody. The first night here I even ran away and got into trouble" Kurt told him.

"If it makes you happier, you could say sorry. It's never too late. I think Finn would appreciate it."

Kurt smiled at Blaine's words and nodded.

"I think you're right" he said and looked around quickly before giving a quick peck on Blaine's lips.

"Now, that we discussed it, can we talk about more gleesome things? New York, for example" Blaine said and leaned back on his chair. Kurt smiled again and started talking about how badly he wanted to go to New York.

"Hey! I'm sorry to come here so late but I think we've found something you should see" Puck said as he entered Finn's study. It was late, but the man was still working, so Puck didn't interrupt anything.

"Come, sit down" he waved towards the chairs in front of his desk. "What did you find?"

"The man that tried to attack the kids. His name is Ivan Kozlov, former prisoner and hitman. He was arrested 11 years ago after a failed attempted murder but he escaped 5 months ago" Puck said. Finn rubbed his forehead because he didn't get it.

"Okay, so he was hired to kill Blaine's mother but nobody found him because he was in jail. Why is he here again? Does he want to kill Kurt? But why?" This whole situation was so confusing.

"Not necessarily to kill him. Ivan has a long list of crimes, break-ins, kidnappings, loduering, everything you want for the right amount of money."

Finn sighed as he looked at the man's picture. He still didn't understand why he was after Kurt.

"And there is something else" Puck continued hesitantly.

"What is it?" Finn asked, not sure if he wanted to know the answer.

"John Anderson lied about not knowing the man. They worked together in Moscow not long before his wife's death. Kozlov was his bodyguard."

"What?" Finn jumped up immediately. "But... but... he said he didn't know him! Why would he play up with the murderer of his wife's?"

"I don't know, man, but we found pictures about them working together" Puck said and handed the pictures to Finn, who stared down in disbelief.

"This... you have to be wrong. I don't like the man either, but he wouldn't do that to his own family..."

"It's true. I don't know what the hell is going on here, but John knows Kozlov."

Finn sighed again, thinking about what he should do. They had enough evidence that John lied to him, so he had the right to question the man, even if he was a council member.

"Call the guards, we will go and see John tonight" he said finally and started calling Will. He needed the assistance of the older council members, so he couldn't do anything he would regret later.

~ o ~

"You know, I think you aren't as good as you used to be" John Anderson said as he sipped his drink. "You finished every job I gave you in a few days, a week at the latest, and now we are here, after 2 months and you haven't given me what I wanted yet. What is your excuse?"

The man sitting in front of him raised an eyebrow.

"I will finish this job as I do every time. I just need more time. Hudson threw so many guards around him that it's hard to even see him between them" Ivan Kozlov answered with a Russian accent.

"Well, you should hurry. Before I start to think you're not able to finish the job" John growled.

"Why don't you give the job for your pretty little son? I saw that they are all over each other for the most of the time. It would be easy" Kozlov said with an evil smile.

"I have my reasons why I don't want Blaine to get involved in this. So go and do what you're paid for" John said and left the living room, not wanting to have another word with Ivan.

After Kozlov's leaving he went into the basement where his secret room was. He opened the door and stepped in, closing the door after him. Nobody knew about his room, not even his family. He took a deep breath and looked around. Here were his occult books, the ones he was studying from to get more power, so someday he could destroy the damn council. He always wanted it, going back to the times when there was only a vampire king and he reigned the whole vampire world. He wanted to be that one person.

"Just some more time" he muttered to himself.

And the action begins.
