You probably don't know me, after all who would know me. I'm just the son of a poor man who repairs carriages, who lost his wife in a fire that badly wounded me. I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself sooner you must think I have no manners, well no because they think poor people have no manners, I am Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, well Kurt Eljah Hummel but I prefer the first as Elizabeth was my mothers name, not that anyone cares what I prefer. I'm 17 and live with my father Burt, we miss mom everyday, but she was burned alive in a fire after she pushed me out after I had burned my left arm and left, it hurts to this day. I'm also gay not really something to be proud of, but I am also a carrier which means I can bear children.

My story starts on the day my dad has a heart attack luckily but the healer tells me that because of his heart attack he won't be able to lift any heavy tools, which means no more shop, no more money.

When he wakes up from his nap I go to him and ask if I have to get a job he tells me no but I can see it in his eyes, he knows that we barely get by now.

"I love you dad." I say as I kiss his cheek and stand up to leave.

"I love you too, Kurt." He tells me and I walk out of the room grabbing my sewing kit and heading out to the market, I'm one of the best sewers in the whole kingdom not counting the royal sewers of course. I went to sit with Rachel Berry and her fiance Finn Hudson who's mom has a stand on the market.

"Hi Rachel, Finn how are you guys?" I ask as I start take out my stuff.

"Good, how's your father?" Rachel asks. I shrug in response.

"He refuses to accept that he can't lift heavy weights anymore and that I have to get a job."

"Kurt why are you here? Didn't you hear that the king is coming to the village and Prince Blaine will be accomanying him." Carole said.

"No I haven't been been to the towns square in a week." I say.

"Put away your sewing kit under the table." Carole says and I just did and when I look up I see the open carriage that royal family travels in. After the carriage there walks a servant who's yelling

"Every inhabitant of Hallis will attend the announcement of Prince Blaine and King Daniel!"

So it's mandatory, great! NOT!

"The announcement will take place at 2.00 pm."

"I best get father." I say knowing they are gonna count heads at the announcement.

"Dad!" I yell as I enter our little house, I walk to his room and see him sleeping.

"Dad there's a mandatory announcement at 2. Dad wake up." I say as I shake him but he doesn't open his eyes, that's when I notice the lack of his chest moving, when I move my hand to his wrist I feel no pulse. I run out heading towards Miss Pillsbury, the lovely woman married to Mr. Schuester, when I get to their house I'm out of breath.

"Ms. Pillsbury!" I yell as I almost knock the door open. "Kurt how nice to see you." Ms. Pillsbury says.

"Can you come with me to my house? It's my father." I say.

"Of course." She says she knows my fathers condition and is the only healer in town who works for free. As we enter my dad's room she immediately starts examining him. A few minutes pass and she stands up telling me something that I was afraid of.

"Kurt I'm sorry. I'll see that William comes and get his body so we can prepare him for the funeral."

"But I don't have any money." I say as begin to form in my eyes.

"Since when do we ask money?"

"Thank you."
