"Now, there are going to people who hate you-"

"Like I haven't heard that before." Kurt said, crossing his arms and staring blankly ahead. Upon realizing he'd interrupted, he refocused and quickly made himself apologize. "Sorry. Continue?"

"I should have phrased that better, you don't have to say sorry." Alaric smiled apologetically, before continuing. "Anyway, there are people out there who hate vampires. They know exactly how to kill them, too. All your weaknesses, all your strengths... they'll use them to their advantage when trying to kill you." Kurt's eyes widened in fear as Alaric opened a cupboard full of weapons. He took out a stake and turned back to Kurt.

"I'm going to help you protect yourself." He said while taking a step closer to Kurt, who took a step back hesitantly.

"W-what?" Kurt uncrossed his arms warily and eyed the stake in Alaric's hands.

"Now, if you see an opening, don't hesitate to kill me." He ran towards Kurt and looked as though he was going to stab him. Kurt yelped in shock and ran at a much faster speed to other side of the room.

"Kurt, protect yourself!" He said as he took something out of his pocket that Kurt didn't even need to look at to know it was filled with Vervain.

He didn't want to fight. He didn't want to kill people. But Alaric looked as though he was going to kill him, and the door were locked from the outside by Damon, so Kurt had no way out. And he knew that Alaric wouldn't stop until Kurt did something to defend himself. So Kurt did so. And regretted it immediately.

Kurt fell to floor in shock. Alaric lay on the floor with a broken neck, dead. Kurt doesn't even remember how he did it. It had just happened. Kurt had actually killed someone.

He heard the doors click as they unlocked and Damon walked in. Kurt's fear grew. Damon could clearly see Alaric's dead body, and seeing as they were friends, probably (who knew with Damon?), Damon was going to go crazy and kill Kurt in return. So Kurt totally hadn't been expecting what he heard next.

Laughter.

From Damon.

Kurt looked up at him, scared. Damon was actually laughing.

"What's funny?" He asked shakily, inching slowly away from him and the body.

"You killed him. I didn't think you would." He said as he bent down and picked up Alaric's body effortlessly and dumped it on a nearby couch.

"B-but..." Kurt didn't move from his spot on the floor, staring at Damon. Why was this funny? He had just killed someone!

"Aren't you hungry?" Kurt jaw fell open. How could he be hungry at a time like this?

"Damon! I just killed someone and you're acting like this perfectly normal!" If this comment did anything, it made Kurt feel even more uncomfortable at Damon's reaction.

Damon just looked at him with humorous eyes and laughed harder.

"Be at Puck's house around six, alright?" Finn said as he and Blaine walked down to the school parking lot. Blaine had been hoping he could go back with Finn and see Kurt, or at least go straight to Puck's. But he did know he would have to get some stuff from his house, but he really didn't want to go back there.

"Sure." Blaine said. "Urm... you don't think I could come and see Kurt, do you?" He asked hopefully. The minute he mentioned Kurt's name though, Finn become obviously nervous, shifting his feet awkwardly.

"Uh... I don't think that's a good idea, dude..." He avoided looking at Blaine and stared intently at the cars around them instead.

"Why not? He can't be that ill, can he?" Blaine felt helpless. He wanted to see his boyfriend. He wanted to help him get better even if it meant him getting ill himself. Isn't that what boyfriends are supposed to do?

"Yeah, he's, urm, really bad." Blaine sighed and looked at his feet.

"Okay... I'll see you later." And before Finn could say anything else, Blaine walked off to his own car.

The drive back to his house was silent and there was nothing good on the radio. He really wasn't looking forward to going back to his house. He knew he was going to get hit, probably worse because Kurt couldn't come round for dinner. Little did he know that wasn't the only thing that was makings this a bad day.

When he pulled up, another car was there that wasn't his fathers. He was confused until he saw someone sitting on his doorstep in a very blue and red blazer. Blaine groaned, he really didn't want to deal with Sebastian right now. He got out anyway, figuring he might just get it over and down with.

"Hey, Blaine!" Sebastian said gleefully, getting up from his seat on Blaine's step.

"What do you want?" He replied tiredly.

"Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, or is Kurt not putting out for you?" Sebastian smirked at him and Blaine sighed in annoyance.

"No, and no. Kurt's ill and I have things to do. Go home." But then something else struck Blaine "How do you know where I live anyway?"

"Jeff told me." Sebastian said, eyeing Blaine up and down. Blaine huffed and went to his door, opening it and turning around.

"Look, I'm sorry if you want to hang out, but I really have a lot to do. So, i don't know, maybe tomorrow?"

"Okay, but i'm holding you to that, Anderson." Blaine just nodded and stayed so he could be sure Sebastian left. He knew that Sebastian really would hold him to it, but he'd deal with that later, he currently had to deal with his dad, who was standing in the kitchen as usual, waiting for his son.

"Damon! What are you doing?" Stefan said as he entered the room. Alaric'd body was still on the couch, Damon was sitting on the edge of said couch, and Kurt was hugging his knees on the floor, not having moved since the incident.

Damon turned to smile at his brother.

"Watching him freak out." He said smugly and then chuckled darkly.

"You're a dick. Why can't you just tell him?" Kurt shifted his gaze from Alaric to Stefan, intrigued.

"Tell me what?" He asked shakily.

"Kurt," Stefan turned to him, kneeling so they were eye level and neither had to look up or down. "Alaric is-"

There was a grunt from the couch and Alaric's shifted a little. Kurt's eyes went back to him and they widened in shock. He was alive! But how?

Stefan sighed and said no more, watching Alaric himself.

After a few more seconds, Alaric was sitting up and rubbing his neck. He blinked for a second and the focused onto Kurt. Kurt inched backwards a little, confused.

"How are you alive?" He mumbled, staring at him unblinkingly. Alaric looked shocked at first, but then he slowly glare at Damon who simply shrugged at him.

"Damon was supposed to tell you, but apparently he likes watching people suffer." He then held up his left hand, showing off a hefty ring. "This ring allows me to come back to life if i am killed by something supernatural." Kurt's shock slowly died down, he should of expected something like this. "I use to be a vampire hunter myself, mainly because of Damon, but, it helped that i couldn't die by something i was trying to kill." Kurt nodded in understanding, but didn't shift from his spot on the floor.

"Sorry for not telling you, but, it was funny watching you freak out over something that didn't matter." Damon said, earning him glares from the other three pairs of eyes in the room.

"Well I didn't know that Damon! I thought I killed someone!" Damon held up his hands in surrender.

"Sorry, dude. At least you know next time." Damon smiled and then was out the room in a flash. Both Stefan and Alaric rolled their eyes.

"I'll be taking you out tomorrow." Stefan said, smiling lightly at Kurt. He nodded in acknowledgement. He just wanted to be alone to wallow in his thoughts. Alaric caught onto this and ushered Stefan from the room, leaving Kurt alone.
