I'm back! Lots of dialogue in this chapter, and this is a short one, but it's because it's the end of yesterday's chapter. I hope it's not boring.
CHAPTER 7
Kurt touched the spot where the bullet had just been. It was all better now. He could feel the hunter's eyes on him and sighed. "I'm not going to attack you. You can relax."
"If you try anything, I will not hesitate to shoot you again."
Kurt rolled his eyes. It was clear that he was trying to act all tough because of his older brother. Despite everything, those two were quite interesting. They seemed to have a weird dynamic. He remembered the picture in the younger hunter's room. Did they only have each other now? Two brothers hunting vampires until one of them dies? Where did all that hate come from? Those were questions that Kurt might never know the answer.
"What if one of you guys was turned? Would you kill each other?" Kurt asked both brothers.
"Yes." They answered in unison, and without hesitation.
Kurt was taken aback. "Oh, wow. I wasn't expecting you to answer that so easily..." he muttered, more to himself than to both men.
Blaine and Cooper glanced at each other, the older looking at the younger one through the rear view mirror. "We decided that years ago." Blaine explained.
"Not that it's any of his business..." Cooper looked back at the road.
"I can't believe you'd kill your precious little brother," Kurt teased, smirking as he watched Cooper clench his jaw, "I remember clearly how you acted when he was hurt."
"He wouldn't be my precious little brother anymore," Cooper replied, not bothering to look back at the vampire.
Kurt shook his head. "I changed, but I still love my friends, my dad, musicals, and I'm just like I was before."
Blaine sighed and looked down. "We know exactly how vampires work..."
"I wouldn't be the one killing my little brother." Cooper said. "It'd be the vampire."
Kurt remained silent. Nothing he could say would make them change their minds. The car came to a stop in front of his building. He felt nervous. Two vampire hunters were going in his home. He felt violated. "A-are you really going in?"
"Yes." Cooper nodded. "How will our hunter friend know which person to kidnap if you hurt one of us? Gotta send him a picture." He said getting out of the car.
"You could have lied about her name, or maybe this isn't even where you live." Blaine added.
Kurt just sighed and led both men to inside of the building. He wished there was a way out of that situation.
The vampire unlocked the door and slid it open. "Rachel?" He called softly, hoping the woman wouldn't answer him. It would be way too hard to explain why he had bloody clothes, and why the hell those two men were in their house so late at night, one of them being her very attractive new friend.
After both men entered, one of them locked the door and they looked around. Kurt wasn't even sure what they were looking for. Cooper quickly went over to a bunch of photos they kept in the living room and took pictures with his phone, sending them all to his contacts. As if Kurt couldn't feel even more violated. Rachel didn't reply, but if she was home, she would have seen those men, because they were checking every room in the house.
"Hi, excuse me, can we talk about this?" Kurt spoke finally, interrupting them.
"Well, now that we know who you are, where you live... Sure, we can talk." Cooper said, turning to him.
"Let's go to my room at least," the vampire said, then guided the men to his bedroom. "What do we need to figure out?" he asked.
Blaine and Cooper followed Kurt into his room, again looking around every corner. It's like they feared something would jump out of somewhere and kill them. They both stood close to the door. "We need to figure out a plan. We'll help you, if you help us." Blaine replied.
Kurt narrowed his eyes. "How exactly are you gonna help me? For all I know you might even try to kill me afterwards."
"You're not wrong."
"Cooper," Blaine said sternly, then looked again at the vampire. "Kurt, I thought you wanted to get rid of that vampire that turned you."
"I do," Kurt agreed, "But I don't want to die after we're finished. You leave me alone."
Blaine exchanged looks with his brother again, but his brother looked a little distracted. "Sure." The younger man decided.
"That didn't sound convincing enough..."
"You're not in the place to make any requests right now," Cooper glared at him, "If you don't agree to work for us, we can kill you right now, and your roommie can deal with the mess. That's up to you."
Kurt rolled his eyes, then turned to Blaine, "Please, control your pet."
Blaine had to hold his brother's arm to stop him from grabbing his gun. "Can we all have a serious conversation about this?"
"Fine." Kurt moved away from the bedroom window, where he had been leaning against and sat on the bed. "So, how exactly are we suppose to kill the big, bad vampire? If he's that old he must be very strong, isn't he?"
"We're vampire hunters," Blaine said, almost proudly, lifting his chin, "And very good hunters, I might add. Now we have you, who said would work for us as an insider."
"Which is why you're still alive right now." Cooper added, making the vampire glare at him.
"And how do we kill him?" Kurt asked, not taking his eyes hate-filled eyes away from the older hunter.
Blaine continued. "Let's worry about finding him first."
"And what happens after we're finished? I get killed?" Kurt raised his eyebrow.
Blaine looked at his brother again. "If we survive," he started, "Then we can discuss your situation."
Doesn't sound very promising, Kurt thought. If I'm going to die anyway, at least I can take out a few vampires and make sure they can't turn anyone else's life into a living hell. At least I will get a few more days, maybe even months. Maybe I can change the hunters' minds...
"But, we have a few demands." Blaine added, and his brother nodded, and took out his knife to play with it, twirling it in his fingers with impressive skill, "This is the only warning that you're gonna get, if you step out of the line, you're dead."
"Demands?" Kurt frowned in worry.
"Yes," Blaine nodded, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms, "While you're working for us, you're not allowed to kill any humans."
Kurt widened his eyes. "And how exactly am I going to feed? I'm going to starve, and I-I'm going to hurt people."
The hunter glanced at Cooper, a lot of thoughts going through their heads. "You leave that to us." Blaine looked down and said. "You're not the first vampire that we... help."
"You 'help' other vampires too? Really?" Kurt asked surprised. The brothers seemed to really despise vampires. Why help them?
"No. It's not like that." Blaine shook his head. "It only happened once."
Kurt raised his eyebrows. "Care to share?"
"No. We're not sharing anything with you." Cooper replied harshly, before Blaine could say anything.
Kurt sighed and looked back at the ground. "Fine," he said. "What are the other demands?"
"You must wear a tracker at all times, and obviously, you don't hurt us." Blaine finished, Kurt only nodded.
The vampire bit his lip, "So what is the plan?"
"I think we need to find a way to make him hire you. After that, you can give us all the information we need." Blaine said, nodded.
Kurt furrowed his eyebrows. "Isn't that gonna put me in danger?"
Cooper chuckled, shaking his head. "We're all going to be in danger, darling. You're the one that's harder to kill."
"Don't call me darling," Kurt hissed, glaring at the older man again as he stood up from the bed and walked over to his wardrobe, to get clean clothes. "When do we start?"
"We should wait until we have a more solid plan." Blaine decided, and his brother nodded. "We start in a week. Probably less."
"And can I, please, eat withing that week?" Kurt asked, turning back to look at them.
Blaine sighed. "I'll be here tomorrow to bring you... Your meal."
"Okay, we had the talk," Cooper put the knife away, "Now, we should get going."
Blaine nodded in agreement and both brothers turned to leave, the vampire stayed behind, mumbling over something in his head. "Hey, wait..." He called, touching the younger man's shoulder, "Can I talk to you? Alone?" He glanced at the older man, who shook his head.
"No fucking way."
"Cooper, it's fine," Blaine assured his brother. The older hunter looked at both of them and swallowed hard. "Just wait in the car, I'll be there in a minute."
Cooper looked betrayed for a second, Blaine wondered what his brother was thinking. "If that's what you want," He replied in a small voice and finally left, not even giving a chance for Blaine to reply. Something was not right. Despite everything with his brother, he turned to Kurt, who only spoke when Cooper was out of the apartment.
"We need to talk about... how I react when I smell your blood." Kurt swallowed.
Blaine's hand moved to his neck as he sighed, "Right. We really should."
"I don't know if I'll be able to control myself, and honestly, I don't want to hurt you." Kurt looked up into the hunter's eyes, trying to make him see that he meant it.
The hunter stared back into his gaze, until it was too much. He couldn't keep away the memory of those eyes turning red. "You didn't hurt me before."
"And you trust me not to hurt you again?" Kurt asked, in a soft voice.
Blaine opened his mouth to reply, but he wasn't sure what to say. "It's a risk I'll have to take. Killing the Head is more important, and I think you're our only chance right now."
Kurt nodded a little, and Blaine turned again to leave, but the vampire stopped him by grabbing his wrist. "Do I get to know your name now? Do you trust me enough to at least tell me that?"
Blaine was quiet at first, but Kurt felt his stomach fluttering when the hunter began to smile. "It's Blaine. My name is Blaine."
Kurt smiled back, "Nice to properly meet you, Blaine."
"Not sure how proper this is." Blaine shook his head, but he was still smiling, "It's not that important, it's just my name."
"It is important." Kurt said simply.
The hunter looked away, his smile fell, and the vampire knew he had just remembered that Kurt wasn't human and he wasn't supposed to be nice to a creature like him. "Cooper is waiting." Blaine said quickly, his eyes meeting Kurt's again, but this time they weren't sweet. He took a step back, creating more distance between them. Kurt turned cold too, hating that he had made a fool of himself, actually believing that this hunter could actually see him for who he truly was. For believing that that tiny moment, when Blaine smiled at him, had actually meant something.
"Shut the door as you leave," Kurt spoke with a firm voice, he turned away, back to his wardrobe.
Blaine raised his eyebrows. "Are you angry at me? I don't want you getting the wrong idea, we're not friends, I just-"
"I thought your brother was waiting." Kurt didn't even turn around to speak.
Blaine hesitated, knowing some things were left unspoken. He finally turned away to leave, but again, he was stopped when he heard Kurt's voice coming from behind him.
"He was a rapist." Kurt said, before he could stop himself, and closed his eyes. He hated that he felt the need to explain things to Blaine, that he had to make sure that Blaine wouldn't think too badly of him. "That man I killed, he was a rapist. He was trying to rape a woman and I couldn't hold myself back. That's why I was so merciless."
Blaine didn't look back, but nodded a little before he walked out of the room, shutting the door.
Cooper was already inside the car, smoking a cigarette. Blaine groaned, his brother knew he hated when he did that inside the car, and was doing it just out of spite. A proof of that was that there was only one window opened. Blaine opened the door, already coughing as he got in the car.
"I've told you a million times-"
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Cooper interrupted him, his voice stern. He wasn't looking at Blaine, but the younger hunter knew his brother was furious.
"I-... No." Blaine replied quietly and swallowed hard. "Why are you asking me this?"
"I know you've met that vampire before." Cooper finally looked at him. Yes, he was furious. "You've been lying to me."
