Chapter 6

The transition from a human to a vampire is not difficult with the help of a Pureblood. When a Pureblood is in the presence of the process, it makes it easier on the human. The blood of a Pureblood will dull the senses that way minimal to no pain will occur. If a human is turned without the blood, then they are in for a very painful journey. If the turning is from one mate to another, then not only does the human need to drink the blood of their Pureblood mate, they must also after their transformation engage in sexual intercourse to complete the mating process...

~Sandy Ryerson, "The Beast Known As the Vampire"

Jeff and Nick rushed as quickly as they could down the hallway, ripping every door they could as they passed hoping to find Kurt. Their mission from Blaine had been simple: locate Kurt, get him safely into the woods that they had emerged from, and if they were not finished wait for Blaine and the others to return to them.

"Nicky, can you smell him?" Jeff asked as he came to a spot. Nick did as well, breathing in deeply as he tried to sniff the scents around him.

Nick nodded after a moment. "Yeah, that's definitely Kurt's scent. I can smell him...he's in there!" he said, pointing at the door at the end of the hall they were in.

Jeff dashed past him, quickly tearing the door off the hinges, barely missing Nick as the vampire came up behind him.

The lamp was still on in the room, and they could both easily spot Kurt collapsed on the floor, holding his head and groaning. "Kurt!" Jeff said as he stepped into the room first, rushing to the boy's side and gently picking him up.

The boy groaned as he opened his eyes slowly, trying to see who that voice had belonged to, or to see if he was just going crazy and hearing things; his eyes came into contact with the concerned looks from Nick and Jeff. "Jeff...Nick?" he mumbled, his lip quivering.

Nick sighed in relief. "Thank God you're okay," Nick said, wiping a tear as it slid down Kurt's cheek. "I...I thought Sue would have started torturing you or something..."

Kurt shook his head. "Nick...I'm so sorry about your family..."

Nick shook his head. "Shh, don't talk about that right now. We'll talk about that later," he said as Jeff easily picked Kurt up. "Right now Jeff and I need to get you out of here. I don't hear any more fighting outside, so I am assuming Blaine and the others are already done."

Kurt's eyes seemed to light up as he asked, "Blaine's here?"

Jeff nodded eagerly. "You better believe it."

"Blaine's the one that organized this rescue and got us together to come save you Kurt," Nick said as they carefully walked out of the room, making sure none of Sue's minions were around.

Kurt sniffled. "I...I was a-afraid no one would come and get me..."

Jeff scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Puh-lease, like that would ever happen Kurt. Blaine would travel to the end of the world and back just to find you, as well as many of the other Warblers. You are important to us Kurt. You matter, even if someone says something different. Always remember that..."

Jeff and Nick walked within the shadows of the forest, Jeff holding Kurt tightly to him as they did so, doing what ever he could to protect him. The roar from the fight had definitely died down the closer they came to getting back outside, so Jeff and Nick knew the fight was over, so now all they had to do was find the others.

"Babe, can you find the others? Kurt's scent is so divine that it's blocking my senses, him being this close to me," Jeff said, causing Kurt to blush. Jeff winked.

"Sure," Nick said, closing his eyes and concentrating. Another good thing he loved about his technique is that once he is able to "track" someone, he will always be able to find them again...whether they wanted to be found or not. He concentrated on finding Blaine, the easiest to focus on since he was their leader. After a few moments, he was able to feel the pull that he was looking for. "This way," he said before taking off.

Jeff followed quickly behind, Kurt's face buried into the blonde's chest as he did so. He was already lightheaded as it was, so if he watched as they traveled he would surely get sick and he really didn't want to hurl on Jeff, though he knew the blonde would have probably just laugh it off anyways.

Kurt could tell when Jeff had stopped running, but he didn't want to open his eyes just in case he started at it again. He waited as they walked a few feet before he heard what sound like voices, all of which sound excited and enthusiastic.

"Dude, I totally kicked Karofsky's ass! It was so awesome making him cry like a little girl!" he thinks he heard Puck's voice say.

Another voice said, "I was finally able to put Becky in her place. That bitch deserved everything I did to her after the damage she did to Flint when he was still human."

A female voice said, "I still can't believe Sue go away. Blaine was totally kicking her ass! She was so injured when she escaped, it's definitely going to take a couple of weeks to recover from those wounds."

Kurt could hear as he got closer that some of the talk had died down meaning they had finally made it to the group.

Jeff stopped walking and look down at Kurt, a smile on his face. "Kurt, you can open your eyes now."

Kurt opened his eyes, turning his head to look through the crowd, who all looked at him with smiles and looks of relief on their face. He gave a small smile, but what he was really looking for was those familiar hazel eyes that he loved, had loved since he was a child. He finally found them; Blaine was pushing through the crowd, trying to get to him. Kurt squirmed in Jeff's arms, trying to get out of the Pureblood's arms. Jeff set Kurt down on his feet and Kurt ran the remaining distance between he and Blaine, wrapping his arms around his mate's neck as the Pureblood wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist, squeezing tightly and peppering kisses all over Kurt's face and neck.

Kurt couldn't help the sob that erupted from his throat as he and Blaine held onto each other. Blaine easily held him without difficulty, holding him just like Jeff did, bridal style embarrassing enough, as he looked into Kurt's glasz eyes. "Oh baby, don't cry. I've got you..."

Kurt swallowed. "I-I thought you w-wouldn't come..."

Blaine shook his head. "I will always come for you, Kurt. You are the love of my life, my mate..." he trailed off with a smile.

"...Your fiancé..." Kurt added.

Blaine nodded. "My fiancé," he agreed, before he realized what Kurt had just said. Fiancé? How did Kurt know that? Unless..."K-Kurt, um, how...?"

Kurt giggled at Blaine's dumbfounded expression. "I might have gotten my memory back..."

Blaine's mouth dropped. "How?"

Kurt rested his head on Blaine's shoulder. "You're going to call me crazy...but I saw my mom. She appeared when I was locked up in the room Nick and Jeff found me in. She said she had come to give me back what she stole, that way I had some of the answers I have been searching for. I can remember everything Blaine. I remember when I was five and you had told me why I was so important to you. I remember when I was six and you and my parents told me what I truly was. And most importantly, I remember when I was almost eight and you told me when I was eighteen I would become a vampire like you and we would be mates for life as well as you had told me you wanted us to be married as well."

Blaine couldn't help but sigh in relief, a huge weight off his shoulders. "Thank God..."

Kurt smiled. "You don't have to hide anything from me anymore. I know everything that I have asked you in the past. I belong to you, for all eternity. I'm just so sorry that it took me this long to remember."

"Don't be," Blaine said with a smile as he captured Kurt's lips in a kiss, kissing him deeply. He was glad he had gotten his Kurt back, relieved that he didn't have to hide anything anymore. When he released Kurt's lips he said, "Sue escaped. I tried to beat her, I really did, but the room we were in was filled with your scent. I kept getting distracted because as much as I wanted to kill her, I wanted you back in my arms just as much. I turned my back for one minute...and she escaped. I'm sorry that I have failed you..."

Kurt shook his head. "It doesn't matter. We're together again. We can get her at another time. All that matters is that we are all safe..."

Blaine nodded. "You speak with truth. She didn't get away unscathed, so she won't be around probably for a few weeks. When she does return, we will be ready for her."

Kurt smiled at Blaine's confident aura around him, but a yawn caught him off guard. Of course, it didn't go unnoticed by Blaine.

"Tired?" Blaine asked.

"Yeah."

Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt tighter as he said, "Go to sleep. We're going home."

Home. That sounded nice to Kurt. He closed his eyes and let his head rest against Blaine's chest, listening to the Pureblood's breathing as he drifted off to sleep.

Kurt was awoken by a bright light gleaming in his face. He peeked one eye open to find himself laying in his bed on his left side, the side where he faced the window. The curtain was partially open, letting sunlight pour in. he smiled as the realization finally hit him; he was home, safe and sound. It wasn't a dream, Blaine and the others had really come and they had really saved him. Kurt started to climb out of bed, but a warm arm stopped him from doing so. The arm was followed by a mumbling voice say, "Mm, where are you going love?"

Kurt smiled as he turned around until he was facing Blaine, who was lying on his side, his arm wrapped around Kurt. Kurt smiled even wider when he saw that Blaine's eyes, which her half-opened, were blood red. "I was actually getting up to find you, he replied as he laid his head on Blaine's chest, "but since you are here I'd rather curl up with you..."

Blaine sighed in contentment. "Sounds good. It's way too early to be up right now."

Kurt rolled his eyes. "Do you know your eyes are the red right now?"

Blaine chuckled. "Yeah. It's because of the sunlight...and the fact that it's 6:30 in the morning."

Kurt laughed, leaning up to face Blaine. "I think it's cool, and you won't think it's too early in the morning when I do this..." he said before leaning down and pressing his lips against Blaine's softly. Blaine opened his mouth eagerly, letting Kurt control the kiss. Kurt felt at ease as he slipped his tongue inside Blaine's mouth, where Blaine's was waiting and eager to play.

They kissed for a few moment before they finally, or rather Kurt, needed to come up for air. "Blaine, thank you."

"For what?"

Kurt shrugged. "For coming after me...for choosing me to be your mate...for being there for me when I needed you...for existing..."

"I should think you for the last part..." Blaine stated. "You are my everything Kurt. The love of my life, my mate, my partner..."

"Your future husband..."

Blaine nodded. "My future husband," he said. "Which is something I actually want to talk to you about. You said you remember everything now..." Kurt nodded. "Wow, you have no idea how much that makes me feel...so happy. I was worried that you wouldn't get them back until you were turned. I really don't need to hide anything from you anymore do I?"

Kurt shook his head. "Nope."

"Then I have one question for you..."

"And what is that, Blaine?"

Blaine sat up, his back resting against Kurt's headboard. "Do you still want to become a vampire?"

Kurt rolled his eyes before pecking Blaine on the lips. "Well duh! Blaine, I have wanted to be a vampire since I was six. My mom told me about how she promised when I was eighteen with my permission you could change me. Coincidentally, my birthday is in ten days. She also told me that I would be...yearning for you if I didn't change? Can you explain that?"

Blaine nodded. "Yeah. A Dhampir is just like a vampire, they need to feed off something. When a Dhampir comes into contact with their mate, the hormones inside their body begin to react, causing the Dhampir...urges. Right now you are not feeling them because you have not reached full maturity. The feeling is strong, and it can overtake you in a second. It makes you want to do...things you never thought you would ever want to do. Right now though you don't have to worry about it. Once you turn eighteen however..."

"I'm going to be a hormonal beast?" Kurt asked nervously.

"Yeah, kinda."

"That's lovely. I don't know the first thing about sex, I'm like a fucking baby penguin. How am I supposed to deal with these urges?" Kurt asked, his face heating up.

"Having an understanding and willing mate to help you?" Blaine said with a smile.

Kurt rolled his eyes. "Blaine, I've never...you know. To me, the touch of the fingertips is as sexy as it gets."

Blaine grimaced. "Yeah, which makes it more difficult for me to turn you right now..."

"What? Why?"

Blaine swallowed. "Kurt, for us to become actual mates for eternity, do you know what we have to do after your transformation?"

Kurt shook his head. "Um...no."

"Kurt...in order for our bond to become complete...we have to have sex..." Blaine mumbled, dropping his head shyly.

"W-W-What!?" Kurt all but screeched.

Blaine winced. "Y-Yeah. When a mate is turned, first I must drain most of the blood from your body. My fangs will release the toxin that helps turn you into a vampire. Once I get done injecting you with the toxin, I will feed you some of my blood that way your body will become numb while the transformation is done; this helps with making sure you feel no pain. When you awaken, you will drink my blood again, which is basically like your first feeding. After that is finished, that's when...as mates we...consummate our commitment to one another."

"O-Oh..." Kurt said. Kurt began to panic. "If that's the case, how am I supposed to be ready for that in ten days? I wouldn't know w-what to do!"

Blaine shook his head as he grabbed Kurt, pressing the Dhampir to his chest. "Kurt, we don't have to change you on your birthday. If you are not ready, we will wait."

"But...but..." Kurt stuttered before taking a deep breath to calm himself. "Blaine, I have waited for you all my life. I want to be your mate. I want to be a vampire. I just don't know...how to make you happy? What if I do something wrong?"

Blaine barked with laughter. "You're worried about no being good enough for me and making me happy?" Kurt nodded. "Oh my God sometimes you are so innocent Kurt. I want you Kurt...not some sex god. I'm no expert when it comes to sex, so you definitely don't need to worry about making me happy. We can learn together, love."

"R-Really?"

Blaine nodded. "Of course dear. If you really are ready to be turned in ten days, how about we...practice, that way we can get used to everything. I don't want to go all the way, but how about we...learn about each other for the next ten days, and I don't mean by talking. They do say actions speak louder than words. How does that sound?"

Kurt pondered that for a moment before nodding. He was ready to become a vampire, he was ready to be with Blaine. Sure, he wasn't ready to have sex just yet. But he trusted Blaine, and with the Pureblood he knew he would probably come to love what they learned about each other.

Kurt sat up and faced Blaine again, who was now sitting cross-legged on the bed, regarding him with wondering eyes. He decided, if he wanted to look as brave as he felt at the moment, that he would be a bit of a tease, something he knew most of the time he was good at and wanted to become more of when it came to Blaine. He climbed into Blaine's lap, wrapping his legs around the Pureblood's waist while he wrapped his arms around his neck. "Well, Mr. Anderson, I think we should get started on those lessons, don't you think?" he asked with an innocent smile.

Blaine looked confused and a bit...frightened? "Here...in your house?"

Yep, definitely a little scare. Kurt shrugged. "Yeah. Everyone is probably still sleeping. And I know with that hearing of yours I know you would hear them if they came this way."

"True."

"So..." Kurt said, his fingers running through Blaine's curls momentarily before pulling it hard, causing Blaine to growl, "...how about it, Anderson?"

"K-Kurt, I wouldn't do that if I were you..." Blaine warned, already turned on way too much.

"What are you going to do about it? Punish me?"

Blaine's only response was to push Kurt onto his back and climb on top of him, smashing their mouth together in a heated kiss.
