Chapter 1: Puck Is Coming For You
Blaine Anderson returned home from his husband Kurt's funeral. He soon laid his daughter, Tracy, down for a nap and felt someone breathing on his neck. Blaine brushed it off as nothing and headed into the living room. While watching television, he noticed a shadow flickering and felt someone breathing on his neck again.
After weeks of being haunted by Noah Puckerman, he realized that Noah had been haunting him. Before he died, Kurt chose Noah to be Tracy's godfather after he saw a drawing Tracy had done of a green man with a mohawk. Days later, both Kurt and Noah succumbed to COVID-19.
Noah was the last person he thought would haunt him, given everything he had done to Kurt. Soon after spanking Tracy, he floated in the air, choked, and half-expected Finn to appear.
One day, Blaine puts Tracy in timeout, and she sits in the corner. Then she starts singing, "One, two, Puck's coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab a crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay up late. Nine, ten, never sleep again." Blaine sees Noah flicker, but he looks like Freddy Krueger.
Soon, Noah's ex-girlfriend, Quinn Fabray, stops by with Blaine's brother, Cooper, whom she started dating after Noah's death. They notice that Blaine is jumpy, and then Tracy glares at Blaine as she sings, "One, two, Puck is coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab a crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay up late. Nine, ten, never sleep again." Cooper and Quinn look at each other but say nothing.
Quinn then asked, "Who taught you that song, Tracy?"
Tracy smiled and said, "Uncle Nono did. He's my fairy godfather."
She then stomped her foot as Quinn heard Noah whisper, "I'm not a fairy!"
Quinn soon shows Tracy two pictures she had in her purse of Noah. Tracy points to the one with a Mohawk. Then she whispers, "But he looks like the burnt man who wears a glove with knives. Papa Blaine is afraid of him."
Quinn chuckles and whispers, "Uncle Cooper told me to tell you. You're coming home with us soon. Mama Rachel knows about Nono too, and she begged us to take you in." Soon, Blaine gets arrested for child abuse, and Tracy sticks her tongue out at him.
That night, Blaine spends the night in a holding cell and hears a demonic voice saying, "One, two, Puck's coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab a crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay up late. Nine, ten, never sleep again."
He soon felt someone breathing on his neck, which made him jump since he was the only one in the cell. Blaine then saw a shadow flicker and knew it was Noah immediately. He peed his pants as Noah laughed. Then Noah said, "I may be dead, Blaine, but I will be the greatest godfather Tracy ever had." Blaine was soon thrown against the ceiling before he fell to the floor and passed out.
When he wakes up, the police station is empty, and the door to the holding cell opens. He walks out, hearing Noah's whispering voice tauntingly. Noah flickers behind him before he looks to see nothing. He turns back around to see Noah with severely burned skin, like Freddy Krueger. Then Noah chuckles and says in a demonic voice, "We both know what happened to Kurt. He didn't die from COVID-19, Blaine. You choked him to death."
Blaine stammers, "He wouldn't listen to me, Puck."
Blaine's clothes soon ripped off his body. As Noah slashed him with a modified leather work glove with a metal backplate extending across the four fingers and a blade attached to each finger, Blaine screamed in pain with each slash. Officer Earl Craven woke him up. He said, "That must have been one hell of a nightmare. You scratched yourself up pretty good there, son."
Blaine thought Earl's voice sounded like his ex-father-in-law, Burt Hummel, who had died a year earlier. Blaine soon looked down and noticed that he was still naked. Noah and Burt appeared before him. Blaine quickly ran away as they sang, "One, two, we are coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab a crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay up late. Nine, ten, never sleep again."
Soon, Blaine woke up in a cold sweat and noticed his ex-mother-in-law, Carole Hummel, holding Tracy. Then Quinn appeared and said, "Rough night, Blaine?" He soon saw two shadows flickering behind her, but said nothing.
He noticed Tracy looking off in the corner of the room, where he saw the shadows flicker. Then he heard demonic laughter before Burt said, "This is not over, Blaine. Trust me. You will pay soon."
He soon heard Burt and Noah laughing demonically. As Quinn and Carole looked at each other, Blaine heard a third voice ask, "Remember me?" Blaine immediately knew who it was: Finn Hudson, Kurt's stepbrother, who had died ten years ago.
Carole handed Tracy to Quinn before saying, "You're lucky Burt is dead, Blaine."
Blaine turns around to see Carole, who is holding up a hand to stop him from speaking. He listens as he hears Noah, Finn, and Burt laughing together. Noah's laugh gets louder before he says, "It's not Burt or Finn you need to worry about, Blaine. I'm much stronger here, and it's all thanks to Tracy. Tracy loves her Uncle Nono."
Quinn and Carole soon leave with Tracy, who sings, "One, two, Puck is coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab a crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay up late. Nine, ten, never sleep again." as they leave.
Blaine had gone without sleep for a month before being admitted to Lima Memorial's psych ward; meanwhile, Cooper and Quinn were granted temporary custody of Tracy.
Blaine was forced to take pills to get him to sleep, but they didn't help his nightmares. After finding slash marks on his arms, he was put on suicide watch. When he was awake, the staff could hear him singing, "One, two, Puck is coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab a crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay up late. Nine, ten, never sleep again."
If anyone came near him, he would scream, "I'm sorry, no more! Please, I'm sorry, Puck!" Soon, the staff began to notice electrical problems in his padded cell at night and a shadow on the camera. As with everything else since Blaine had arrived, they assumed it was just another technical glitch.
Six months later, Blaine is released, holding a secret that lurks beneath the surface, unbeknownst to everyone. The truth is that the person who emerges from those hospital walls is not Blaine at all; it is Noah's ghost, cunningly possessing his body. In a shocking turn of events, Noah murders Blaine in his sleep and seamlessly takes over his physical form.
Amidst this clandestine takeover, Brittany Lopez, Santana's wife, was the only person who knew about this haunting transformation. Burdened by a deep sense of loyalty, Brittany kept this knowledge to herself, not uttering a word to anyone about the true identity of the man now walking free.
Meanwhile, in a completely unrelated situation, Tracy found herself becoming the target of relentless bullying at school. Day after day, she endured cruel taunts and hurtful actions from her peers. It was during one of these distressing moments that Tracy noticed a peculiar figure watching her from afar during recess. It was Blaine, or rather, the imposter Noah, who now inhabited his body.
To Tracy's astonishment, the other children displayed peculiar behavior whenever she mentioned her Uncle Nono. Fear gripped their hearts, so much so that they involuntarily wet themselves at the mere mention of his name.
Noah never showed himself to Tracy's bullies; they only heard his voice singing, "One, two, I'm coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, grab a crucifix. Seven, eight, better stay up late. Nine, ten, never sleep again." In their dreams, and that was enough to get them to back off. Finn and Burt helped, but Noah was the only one who made the kids wet their beds at night.
Eventually, Tracy was returned to Blaine, and she figured out he was Noah. After this, Tracy's bullies referred to Blaine as the "Boogeyman." Their parents didn't believe them and thought they had a vivid imagination.
Chapter 2 will be up soon. Yes, I know what Mark did, but he is not Freddy Krueger. I also know this is short and doesn't need that pointed out. Despite writing similar stories, I cannot start the next chapter until I finish this one.
