Chapter 4

All Purebloods and vampires are gifted with a unique ability to call their own. Mates can either be complete matches, meaning that they each have the same ability, or they can be complete opposites, meaning their powers compliment one another but they do something totally different. A good example is Flint Wilson and Thaddeus Harwood: Flint has the ability to create sonic booms with the sound of his voice while Thad can increase his voice to such an octave to where it can knock who desires into unconsciousness; total opposites when it comes to what they can do but they compliment each other because they are both used by the sound of their voices. Every power is unique, and each vampire has their own twist to it...

Sandy Ryerson, "The Beast Known As the Vampire"

Kurt opened his eyes slowly, which he soon regretted because it felt like he was tearing them open. What had happened to make his eyes hurt like this? He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves, but immediately choked it back out. What the hell was that smell? He sat up, rubbing his aching eyes. He looked around, trying to figure out his surroundings. He was in a room with gray stone walls. He was laying on a bed, one that was not very comfortable and oh so painful on his back. There were no windows in the room, and it was very dark. The only source of light he received was coming from a small lamp that was on a bedside table that sat next to him. Kurt tried remembering what exactly had happened, his mind fuzzy. He remembered going and talking to Blaine, after Rachel's insistence. He remembered everything he and Blaine had talked about. He remembered that he was heading home after Blaine promising him that they would go on a real date the following day...

His eyes widened as he climbed out of bed, shaking his head as he tried to clear it. He rushed to the door that was across the room and tried turning the handle, which failed to budge. The fucker was locked. Kurt growled, punching the door. He had let his guard down. How could he have been so stupid as to do that and let Karofsky of all people knock him out? He was a hell of a lot smarter and tougher than this.

"H-Hello? Can anybody hear me?" he tried yelling through the door, but deep down it was completely useless. He slid down the door and collapsed to the floor, tears streaming down his face.

How was he going to get out of here?

Blaine happily approached the "Hudmel" home, as he dubbed it, a weight lifted off his shoulders. He no longer had to hide his feelings, he felt so free. He wondered if Kurt had had the chance to tell Burt he had found out the truth about being Blaine's mate. I wonder how he took it?, Blaine thought as he took a deep breath before knocking on the door. From his vampire hearing, he could hear the smallest sob emit from the home before he head the shuffling of feet before the front door was unlocked and the door swung quickly open.

Blaine expected maybe an angry Burt or a smiling Burt; what he was expecting is to see Burt look like that. Burt's eyes were red and puffy, like he had been crying for hours, and his face was red and blotchy from what looked like was from constant rubbing, not to mention his clothing was wrinkly and stained with sweat and what looked like tear stains.

Blaine was immediately concerned. "Burt, what's wrong? What happened?"

Burt growled, and it scared Blaine even though the man was human. He grabbed a hold of Blaine's shirt, bring the Pureblood so they were face-to-face. "You fucking son of a bitch! Where is he? Where is my baby boy?" he roared.

Blaine raised a brow. "W-What do you mean?"

Burt examined the Pureblood's face, which was scrunched up in confusion. Burt released his hold on Blaine. "Kurt didn't come home last night..."

That single sentence was like a blow to Blaine's frozen heart. "W-What!?"

Burt crumbled into Blaine's arms, who caught him easily. "He didn't come home last night. Finn told me he was going to talk to you, and I guessed when he didn't come home after his patrol I figured he was with you for so long because he had figured out about everything..."

"H-He did..." Blaine replied.

Burt nodded. "...But then this morning came around and he still hadn't come home, so I called his cell phone so I could yell at you both...and it was disconnected..."

Blaine couldn't help the growl that erupted from his throat as he helped Burt stand and walked him back inside the Hudmel home until they were in the living room, where he found Carole, Finn, and Rachel, who sat between them. She looked up when they walked in.

"Oh thank God you're here. I've been trying to tell them you sent Kurt home last night after you guys...talked about everything," she said as she stood from her seat so Burt could sit in her place.

"Thanks Rachel, I appreciate that," Blaine said as he sat in Burt's chair, Rachel perching herself on the armrest. "Burt, I swear to you that I sent Kurt home last night after I answered his questions about out mating. I should have walked him home..."

Burt shook his head. "Don't blame yourself son. You didn't know this was going to happen. More importantly, we have to find out where he is at."

Blaine nodded. "I couldn't agree with you more. Jeff, one of my best friends, has a mate that can help us. His name is Nick Duval, you probably know him as one of the bookworms of our group. Anyways, he has the ability to track someone, though he does not do it often because it takes a lot out of him. We can try to see if he could locate Kurt, but in order to do that he's going to need something..."

"Name it. I will give Nick whatever he wants," Burt said.

"He'll need your blood. Since Kurt has not ingested my blood yet so that we are both alike in DNA, I cannot do it. When he tracks someone, he has to have the blood of someone similar to Kurt's. You are his father, so you can be the only one to do it. It's painful, since he literally has to sink his fangs into you and have your blood in his mouth to make the connection."

"He's not the Pureblood is he?"

Blaine shook his head. "No, Jeff is. Nick's just a vampire. Nick is a really sweet person and I know he will be as gentle as he can, but the bite he will have to use will not be like other bites. When we feed, our fangs emit pheromones so the other party feels nothing but pleasure, but this bite with not be pleasurable at all."

"I don't care if he rips the fucking skin out, I just want my son back home with and you. Now that he knows he's your mate, you have to prepare him," Burt said, standing up. "Take me to Nick. I want my son safe and sound. Now."

Kurt was jostled from his sleep by the door he was leaning against trying to be pushed open. He quickly dodged out of the way across the room as it swung open and a woman walked in. she was tall, taller than him. She has very short blonde-white hair and she seemed like the type that was always in good shape from the way her body was hugged by the red tracksuit she was wearing.

Her eyes were a gleaming red color, which looked over at Kurt with curiosity. "My, my. You have grown into such a beautiful creature, Porcelain," she remarked.

Kurt gulped. "W-Who are you?"

She smiled a toothy grin. "My name is Sue Sylvester."

"Why am I here? What do you want with me?' Kurt asked.

Her smile grew wider. "So to the point, just like your mother, Elizabeth."

Kurt stiffened. "Y-You knew my mother?"

Sue nodded. "I did. Such a strong woman, brave and proud too. She was an excellent Pureblood. She was my best friend...at least she was until I betrayed her..."

"And why did you do that?"

"Because I wanted you, and she wouldn't let me have you," she replied with a simple shrug.

Kurt shivered. "W-Why do you want me? I'm just a mere human..."

Sue laughed, a booming sound that filled the room. "My Lord, Kurt Hummel, you are indeed funny. You have no idea what you truly are, do you?" Kurt didn't answer, just gave her a confused look. "Hmm, thought so. How about you and I go to my dining room and eat. I will tell you a little story about yourself. Once you will find...very, very intriguing."

Finn, Burt, and Carole followed Rachel into the parlor room of the Night Class dormitories as they waited for Blaine to retrieve Nick and Jeff. Rachel could tell by reading Burt's mind that he was freaking about Kurt, so she tried calming him as they waited.

"Burt, don't worry. Nick's ability is very nifty. If anyone can find him it would be Nick. Jeff's power also is a match to Nick's to help even better; he can track anything he wants with the help of Nick. With mates, we have the ability to read each other's minds if we want the other to, so this can help with this situation. I will also be able to see what they see and I know the layouts pretty well, so we will find Kurt," she explained as Carole began rubbing Burt's back. "And with Blaine as the leader and our group of superior fighters, we can get him home safe and sound. Blaine's ability is that he can find out when someone is lying, so it is a reliable tool to get the answers we need."

"That's cool! Who else has cool powers?" Finn asked.

Rachel smiled at her eager mate. "Noah can manipulate fire. Thad can knock someone out with the sound of his voice while his mate Flint can create sonic booms. Quinn can seduce anyone to do anything she wants without using compulsion. Santana is very handy with swords. David can do the same thing I can, but he has to touch someone to do it, and his best friend Wes, who he turned, can control emotions, so he's always keeping us under control when we get out of hand..."

Rachel trailed off as Jeff entered the room, carrying a large glass of orange juice. "Hello, my name is Jeff," he said as he sat the glass down on the coffee table that sat in front of Burt and the others. "Nick and Blaine will be right down. Mr. Hummel, this glass is for you to drink once Nick is completed. It will help with making sure you keep your strength and regain some of your sugar intake."

"Thanks," Burt said, Jeff shrugging in response.

"No problem. Anything for the Hudmel family. Kurt is the greatest guy ever, and the sooner we find him the better. Then you can thank me," he said with a wink as Nick walked in, Blaine trailing behind him.

"Hello, Mr. Hummel," Nick greeted, giving Jeff a soft kiss on the lips before turning back to Burt. "My name is Nick. It's a pleasure to finally being able to meet you, though I know under these circumstances it's a little hard to say the same," he said, holding out his hand, which Burt shook.

"Agreed, but it is nice to me you too," Burt said.

Nick gave a small smile as he approached Burt closer, sitting on the edge of the table in front of the human. "I was told Blaine told you the basics of what is going to occur?"

Burt nodded as he rolled up his sleeve, revealing his forearm, and giving it to Nick. "Go ahead. The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can find my son."

Nick nodded as he wrapped a hand around Burt's arms and brought it up to mouth level. He closed his eyes, breathed, and extended his fangs. He looked at Burt for confirmation, which Burt gave, before he sank his fangs into the flesh, causing Burt to moan in pain.

Kurt sat nervously at the round table that was adorned with all types of food as Sue sat on the other end, drinking a glass of dark red liquid. Kurt didn't need to look twice to know it was blood.

"Are you not hungry, Porcelain? I swear that the food is not poisoned."

"I'm not hungry," he stated as he grabbed his glass of ice water, taking a few sips to calm his dry throat.

"Suit yourself," she shrugged. "Now, as you must know I did have Karofsky and little Becky bring you here, but the big question is...why?' Kurt nodded. " As I told you in the other room, I was one of your mother's best friends. You see, I am just a vampire, turned by a rogue out of hunger. He had left me for dead, forgetting to decapitate my head. I lay there for days, slowly dying. When I finally did, my change happened. Your mother, sweet Elizabeth, found me. She had told me she had smelt my blood, and that was what led her to me. So she took me home, home to wear her husband, Burt, was waiting. They helped me through my change, which with me took quite a few hours, since I didn't have the blood of my creator to ease me through the transition. Once I turned, I couldn't go back to where I had came from; I would be killed on the spot. So, they gave me a home. I lived with them for two years...then your mother got pregnant with you." She paused, sighing at her memories. "They were so happy, as was I. My best friends were finally having a child after years of trying. But it was difficult, your mother being a Pureblood and all and your father a mere human. When we become pregnant, we crave blood more than ever, so we can take care of our fetus. Multiple times your mother found it difficult to control herself around your father. But after nine months, that finally cam to an end, and you were born, but you were born with a different scent, way different than a normal human's. Elizabeth and Burt didn't know what you truly were, they thought you were a human just like Burt, so they didn't think anything about it. But I did. I had done a lot of reading after I became what I am today, trying to learn about myself, and knew what you were in an instant. But I kept it hidden.

"Then after you were a month old, he came." She stopped, pinching the area between her eyes.

"Who?" Kurt asked.

"Your mate...Blaine Anderson. He had been traveling in the woods, hunting, when he had caught your scent. He had followed it to our little cottage, where we were living at the time. He had knocked on our door, which Burt had answered, and introduced himself, just like the gentleman he is. He explained to Elizabeth what he had smelled and she knew he was your mate, because she had felt the same way with Burt when she first came across him. She welcomed him with open arms, and that is when they found out what you truly were...from him. He told them everything. He told them the truth about you, as well as letting them know I had known all along."

Kurt gulped. "And? What am I?"

She smiled.

"Damn it, that hurts," Burt complained as Nick sunk his fangs deeper into his arm, making the connection he needed.

"Nick says he is sorry," Jeff said, tilting his head to the side as he heard Nick's voice fill his head. "Nick said he just made the connection and he can feel Kurt. He's close, not too far from here. Good, the shorter the distance the quicker we get him back," Jeff said excitedly.

Nick grumbled as he closed his eyes, trying to concentrate on Kurt's location. He could see the path pass through his eyes, and hopefully his mate was seeing it too.

"Yeah, you're right, that does look familiar. Keep going baby," Jeff said, sitting down next to Nick and watched the images pass his mind. "We're getting close. Just a little more...get past that gate...go pass that room." He closed his eyes, trying to concentrate on what Nick was seeing. "here we go. Yeah, I can hear the voices too. Yeah, that's Kurt's voice, and the other...that's a woman's voice. Yeah, it does sound familiar. Keep going, we need to find out which room they are in so we can see who he's with." Jeff scrunched up his face, as did Nick, as they continued looking.

"Burt, honey? Are you okay?" Carole asked as she and Blaine saw how pale the human was getting. Burt nodded.

Blaine rubbed his back. "Don't worry, Nick should be about done."

"There babe, go in there," Jeff said. "There we go, we are closer now...just a little bit more...just a little further. There! There he is! And he's with..." Jeff gasped, snapping his eyes open as he did. Nick also gasped, releasing his hold on Burt's arm and breathing heavily. He coughed, before collapsing to the floor. "Nick!" Jeff yelled, catching his boyfriend before his head could hit the ground. He easily picked up his mate and pulled him into his lap, fanning him. "Oh baby, wake up, wake up!"

Nick moaned and opened his eyes slowly, looking into Jeff's light brown ones. "J-Jeff..." he sobbed, burying his head into the crook of Jeff's neck, getting Burt's blood all over the Pureblood.

"Shh, baby it's okay. She can't hurt you. She can never hurt you anymore," he murmured, soothing his mate. He looked at Blaine. "We got a problem. We know who has Kurt."

"Who?" Blaine asked as he heard Rachel catch her breath and place her hand over her mouth.

Jeff rubbed Nick gently before replying, "Sue. Sue Sylvester."

Kurt gulped. "And? What am I?"

She smiled. "You're an enigma. A special, special creature. One that anyone would die to get their hands on. I wanted you as soon as I took a whiff of you, and that was my demise once Anderson came around. His ability is interesting, able to detect if someone is lying or being untruthful. He read me like an open book. He knew I wanted you, that I was a danger to you. He picked you up in his arms and would not let you go as he ratted me out to your parents. He let them know that I wanted to take you away from them, from him, and he wouldn't let that happen. When they heard about my plan, they turned on me. They forced me away from our home. But I have you now. And I won't give you up without a fight. I had one like you before, but he was taken away from me, my sweet Nicholas. But he has now been replaced with you, my Kurt. You are mine. My special creature..."

Kurt struggled to speak. "A-And what k-kind of c-creature am I?' he asked as clearly as he could.

"A chile of a human and a vampire, a rare and priceless creature," she said simply.

"What do you m-mean?"

"My dear Kurt," she said with a sigh. "You are just like me...only a teensy bit different. You are what we call hybrid being, and the correct term would be one you have heard of."

"A-And what is that? Stop beating around the bush!" Kurt yelled. "What am I?"

Sue smiled deviously before she uttered one word: "Dhampir."
