The ball room is decorated with everything looking wonderful and beautiful. Party guests are enjoying themselves all over eating, dancing, laughing and having fun.
Prince Kurtis is now dressed just as he used too. He wore the nicest trousers and suit ensemble. It once again stopped at his waist giving him a very slimming effect. It was a beautiful shade of blue and he had accents of green in his vest and buttons. His boots are a dark brown and go up his calf, stopping at his knee. He had glittering accents hanging from his coat as well and his father's crown on top of his head.
Kurt peeks out into the room spying everyone at the party.
"Looking for someone?" Sophia asks him.
Kurt drops the curtain he looking behind, "No one is out there that I am looking for."
"Are you sure that no one isn't one of the most remarkable men who saved us and found a music box," Sophia said to her nephew.
"No, that no one is probably to busy spending his reward money as fast as he can," Kurt said with almost a growl in his voice.
Suddenly Cooper and Rachel appear in the room with them, Kurt immediately spots Alexander in Cooper's arm. The cat is covered in ribbons and bows with a small crown on his head, "Oh Alexander," he lets out a small giggle, "You look miserable. Cooper, look at him." He reached up and took off the crown from the cat's head.
Cooper bows towards Kurt, "Yes your highness."
"Poor Alexander," Kurt said taking the small step away from him.
"Yes, your highness," Cooper nods again.
"Cut it out Cooper," Kurt snaps at him, "I'm not angry with you anymore. I know how much you needed the money."
Cooper starts to open his mouth, but Sophia holds up a hand stopping him. "Well then your highness..."
"Cooper, stop acting this way. You are my friend," Kurt pleads.
"It may be best if you start calling me Mr. Anderson now," Cooper smiled at him, "But from now on I am your loyal subject."
Rachel and Cooper both bow once again and walk out of the room.
"Why does everyone have to act that way?" Kurt huffs.
"You were born into this world of glitter and jewels and fine titles," Sophia said taking a step towards Kurt, "But I wonder if this is what you really want."
Kurt looks taken back, "Of course. Of course it is. I found what I was looking for. I found out who I am. I found you. I found my home." He started walking away and then turned around.
"Yes, you did find me," Sophia said taking Kurt's hand, "And you'll always have me. But is it enough?" She pulls Kurt closer to her and hugs him, "My darling, he didn't take the money."
"He didn't?" Kurt asked confused.
Sophia shook her head, "Knowing that you are alive and the young man you have become brings me joy I never thought I would feel again." She kisses him on the forehead.
Sophia then let's go of Kurt and walks towards the curtains, "Whatever you choose, we will always have each other. And in your heart, you know what is right for you."
"Aunt Sophia, can't you..." Kurt turned around and she was gone. Kurt is about to follow as he opens the curtain to step out, but then he retreats.
Meow!
Kurt picks his head up, "Alexander?" he asked out loud.
Meow!
Kurt turns and can see Alexander running with the bows and ribbons falling out of his fur. He decides to chase after him, "Alexander!" He chases him until they are in garden and Kurt scoops up the small cat, "What are you doing silly boy."
"Kurt..."
Kurt hears the voice in the distance, "Blaine?" he cocks his head to the side.
"Kurt."
Running forward, Kurt follows the voice as it gets louder and standing there is Blaine. "Blaine," he sets the cat down, "My aunt told me." And then he stops walking, something isn't right with Blaine's eyes. "Blaine, what's wrong?"
Blaine starts to walk towards Kurt slowly.
"Throw him off the edge!" Sebastian shouts, "Do it!"
Kurt is confused, he turns and somehow they were transported to a cliff. He looks up at the booming voice and sees the face. He closes his eyes and visions of memories whip past as he remembers.
Kurt shakes his head and opens his eyes. Suddenly Blaine's hands are on him. "Blaine, look at me. It's Kurt. It's Kurt!"
Blaine stops, yet his eyes are still glazed over and frightening.
"You saved my life in the palace!" Kurt yells at him, "You won't take it now!"
"Finish him!" Sebastian shouts.
Kurt holds his ground as Blaine continues to push him closer to the edge of the cliff.
"Blaine. I know you would never hurt me," Kurt shouts out at him, "You love me!"
Kurt doesn't know what else do, so he pulls Blaine close to him and leans in for a kiss upon his lips. Blaine's eyes are blinking and the haze is gone, he is soon kissing Kurt back.
They pull back and Kurt is smiling, "Blaine?"
"Kurt," Blaine said amazed at what happened, and then he looks around, "Where are we?"
There is a howl from above and then the man jumps down. Sebastian has his reliquary tied around his waist. He is more furious than ever, with his face filled with rage and hatred.
Kurt feels terrified, but holds his ground just as he did when he was a child, "I guess you aren't as powerful as you thought!"
Sebastian steps closer to them, "I'll show you!"
Blaine tries to push Kurt away, "Run, Kurt! Go!"
Kurt holds Blaine's hand tight, "I'm not leaving you!"
"Fighting for the fair man," Sebastian rolled his eyes, "How noble of you!"
Blaine pushes Kurt away and charges towards Sebastian, but he is knocked aside with a swoop of an arm.
"And how pathetic," Sebastian said looking at him, "Such a pretty face too. He then turns towards Kurt, who is looking around for a place to hide, "That is only going to make this more fun."
Kurt appears behind Sebastian and tries to punch him in the back, but it has the same effect as if he just hit a brick wall. Kurt is thrown off balance and falls, his crown lands on the ground.
Sebastian pushes Kurt with his foot and he slides across the floor to Blaine.
Blaine and Kurt exchange a quick look as Sebastian, who is laughing, advances on them. Kurt reaches up and grabs the front of Sebastian's robes pulling him forward, so Blaine can punch him square in the face.
The punch does little to Sebastian, but makes him madder. He reaches out with his hand and picks up Kurt like a rag doll and takes him to the edge.
"Kurt!" Blaine calls out.
Blaine tries throwing his body against Sebastian several times, only to be batted away like a fly once again. Off of the cliff, Blaine lands on a ledge below.
Kurt is struggling in Sebastian's grasp, "No Blaine!" he calls out.
"My curse is now complete," Sebastian yells, "Good bye Porcelain!" he let's Kurt go.
Kurt starts to fall but someone grabs him. He looks and Blaine is holding his arm tight. "Don't let me go!"
"I will never let you go," Blaine yells back. He suddenly feels himself begin to tip over the edge. And then Blaine cries out in pain.
"What a touching sentiment," Sebastian said as he once again lands on Blaine's back.
Blaine let's out another yell, but he doesn't let go of Kurt's hand. He just can't, he holds it tighter. He then finds strength and pulls Kurt up enough so he can climb onto the ledge. He then passes out from the pain.
"Die!" Sebastian shouts, but didn't realize that Kurt was now standing up. Sebastian swings his reliquary and let's go. It flies through the air and lands onto the ground with a thud. It rolls and is suddenly dangling on the edge.
Kurt dives and picks it up. He throws it on the ground, the glass starts to break.
Sebastian's eyes widened, "Don't touch that!"
"This is for Blaine!" Kurt shouts stomping on the reliquary. "And this is for my family!" he stomps again. He looks up at Sebastian who is begging him not to do it anymore, "And this is for you!" he stomps on the reliquary one more time making it shatter.
"Noooo!" Sebastian shouts.
Evil spirits from the reliquary are released and they start to grow and swirl, making hideous moaning noises.
Kurt runs over and covers his body over Blaine's.
The spirits form a tornado and make their way over to Sebastian. He screams while they pull him off the ground. He face disappears in the tornado and with a yell it explodes and the pieces flying everywhere disintegrates midair in wild colors and smoke.
Kurt lifts himself up and looks down at Blaine. He flips him over so his back is on the ground. "Oh no," he said touching his face. Blaine couldn't have died. Alexander comes rushing over, "Blaine."
Kurt feels a tear fall down his face and he leans his head on Blaine's chest and begins to cry.
And then there is a moan and Kurt feels movement. He lifts his head and Blaine's eyes open.
"Blaine!" Kurt shouts as he throws his arms around Blaine's neck.
"Oww," Blaine groans, "Oh let go. Let go."
"Sorry," Kurt said pulling away letting him sit up.
"I know, I know," Blaine said holding his chest, "All men are babies."
Kurt looked into Blaine's eyes, "I thought you were going back to St. McKinley."
"I was," Blaine smiled at him.
"And you didn't take the..."
"I couldn't," Blaine said to him.
Kurt smiled back, "Why?"
"Because I...I..."
Kurt leaned in and was about to kiss Blaine again when he felt something sharp under his hand. He pulled back and looked down, "Oh."
Blaine looked at the crown and picked it up. They both slowly stood, "They are waiting for you."
Kurt took the crown and stared at it. He shook his head, "I realized something."
"What's that?" Blaine asked him.
Kurt leaned in close, "Home is where the heart is," he pulled Blaine close and pressed their lips together. They both smiled into the kiss.
Sophia walked into the room and looked around. She spotted the crown and letter resting next to it.
Dear Aunt Sophia,
Thank you for everything. Don't worry
we will be in Paris again soon.
Kurt.
Rachel walked in after her and read the letter over her shoulder. "Oh they eloped, how romantic." She sighed, "What a perfect ending."
Sophia shook her head, "No, what a perfect beginning." She was proud of her nephew and couldn't have asked for a better one.
On a ship miles away Kurt and Blaine were standing next to one another looking out into the water. "You know what this means," Blaine teased.
Kurt smiled, "I think we need a song to celebrate."
Blaine turned towards Cooper who was playing with a guitar in his lap, "Hit it maestro."
"With pleasure," Cooper smiled and winked over at Alexander who just rolled his eyes and went back to his cat nap.
Cooper started to play and Kurt took Blaine's hand as he began to sing.
We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
Blaine smiled at him and began singing the next verse.
No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
They both sang together dancing with one another on the ship's deck.
And...
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Blaine spun Kurt around as he sung.
We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Kurt laughed as Blaine sang the next line
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true.
Kurt took the lead as they sang together again.
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
And...
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
Leaning in for a quick kiss, Kurt spun Blaine away from him and back into his arms.
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Blaine jumped up on a box and reached down to bring Kurt up with him as they continued to sing.
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
And...
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
They ran over and sat next to Cooper who stood up and caused them to slide closer to one another. Alexander meowed in an annoyance.
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Blaine spread his arms out and reached for Kurt.
Hey ay ay
Kurt took his hand and they started singing to together.
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on...
Kurt sang his next line alone, before starting to sing with Blaine again.
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you.
Blaine pulled Kurt in close as they danced on the deck of the ship together.
Hmmmmm
Blaine held onto Kurt, "Where to now?"
Kurt smiled at him, "Anywhere we want, my home is in your heart." He leaned his forehead on Blaine's as they leaned in to share another kiss.
