Though he sent Wes and Nick after Cooper, Blaine planned to take one man with him to aid in Kurts rescue. Sam might not have been his usual companion, but the stable boy was loyal and true, and he knew well how to ride, especially with supplies astride the horses back. Blaine knew he might need a sturdy rope and perhaps a cloak and heavy shoes for Kurt to safely travel to the castle on horseback.
He still wasnt sure how his love had made it all the way to the castle in the meager items he had in his tower. Without a steed, Kurt had to have walked all that way, and in the meager shoes he was allotted in his prison? Blaine was sure the boy had wounds and blisters on his feet, holes in his shoes, and had probably worn out his only cloak.
So, he loaded a pack with a fur-lined cloak of a grey-blue color, a thick-soled pair of boots, and sought to ask Sam for a sturdy rope when he reached the stables. He was going to rescue the man hed fallen in love with. Kurt would never face a monotonous day in his tower again. And the kind-hearted stable boy would help.
The moment you come into view...
Blaine couldnt wait until he saw his angel again. Hed take Kurt in his arms and tell him how hed always be safe now. How Cooper was going after the evil woman who plagued his life and shed never harm him again. Everything would be right, now. Kurt would never have to be afraid again.
Upon reaching the stables, riding boots tied tight about his calves and cloak fastened at his neck, Blaine found a stooped woman near the entrance, Sam already preparing Blaines mare and his own sturdy gelding for the journey.
"Sam! You got word of my request, good!" Blaine called happily, looking to the woman in some confusion. She raised her gaze to his and he smiled politely. "Mlady. How might I help you?"
His kindness caused a spark to light her eyes, and the woman smiled, which was truly something special coming from her. "Help me? No, prince. It is I who might help you," she said. "You see, my name is Sue and I know how to get your porcelain love from his prison. Take me with you and I will be much more useful than any rope."
Just because my composure slips...
A gasp passed Blaines lips as he stood in shock, gaping at the woman who had been Kurts savior so many times. This was the witch who had kept Kurt alive all these years, and also the witch who had helped Kurt save him. He owed her so much.
Blaine dropped to one knee and bowed his head, leaving Sam staring in awe. "Mlady, I am forever grateful to you. Thank you for helping Kurt, and for saving my life. You will of course come with us, if you are so willing. I would be honored to have you in our company."
He stood when Sue told him to get up and make haste, brushing off his niceties as if she was unsure how to accept them. Blaine did want to get to Kurt, though, so he got onto his mare and offered a third horse to the witch.
Rather than take the horse, she rode along with Sam, who kindly helped her onto the gelding and complimented her confident pose atop the horse. In mere moments, they were off, heading for the tower to stage a grand rescue.
In the magic of moonlight...
By the time they reached the tower, the sun had nearly set. Blaine had tried to rush, but the excitement of the day had taken some time. He didnt want to waste any time in rescuing his love, though, so he would take his chances with the light of the moon.
He called up to Kurt and Sue hopped off the horse, already grinning. Kurt looked out the window and saw the odd assortment of people looking up at him, then locked eyes with Sue.
"Its your turn to fly, Porcelain," she said, then whistled and Kurt didnt even have a moment to prepare himself before he burst into the air, a sudden flutter of yellow feathers as he became a little canary and flew gloriously out the window.
The stars the fill the skies are in my eyes...
Blaine watched as Kurt soared through the air, a song on his lungs, filling the cool breeze behind him. He soon landed on Blaines saddle and the man bounded over to the little yellow bird, smile wide and reaching his golden eyes. "Oh, Kurt..." he cooed, even as Sue whistled once again.
Guess youll always be,
The one and only for me...
In the canarys place, Kurt sat astride the horse, all smiles and laughter. He was so happy to be free. Kurt leaped into Blaines arms and hugged him tight, then parted from him and turned to Sue.
"Thank you. Thank you so much," he said tearfully. "I will never be able to repay you for all of your kindness." She shook her head and squeezed his shoulder, even as he hugged her. "I really do love you, Sue. My fairy godmother."
Blaine strode toward them and looked kindly upon the woman. "You are greatly talented, mlady," he started. The woman grumbled about the title, but he kept on. "I would love for you to come to my court. Work for me. Your magic is better than any witch or warlock Ive seen in the land. Id be honored to call you one of mine."
Kurts eyes lit up with glee and Sue bowed, kindly agreeing with the request that her girls might also join her. It was agreed that details would be worked out upon arrival at the castle, and Blaine got the cloak and boots for Kurt.
Once they were all on the horses and ready to go, they set out for the castle which would soon be Kurts home. Blaine felt like his world was finally full. His mission was complete. Kurt was finally safe.
