Blaine struggled to move as he came back from the darkness. When he finally looked around he realized he was locked in some room. He sat in a chair that had his feet and hands cuffed down. He could barely move as his wounds ached. He looked down to see his shirt was completely gone now and could see the long line of red that went down his whole chest from the silver. He growled remembering Camila was at fault for this.

“Glad you could join the living...well, whatever we are,” Cristian said walked over to him. Blaine looked up at him and hissed.

“I wouldn't do that if I were you,” Cristian said holding up the wooden stake with a silver tip. Blaine looked at it cautiously and then glared at him.

“I dare you,” Blaine said. Cristian looked at him intrigued and held it close to his skin but wasn't touching it.

“Camila has so much worse planned for you...” he said. Blaine looked down at the stake near his heart. Cristian wouldn't do it, not without Camila's approval. He stared at it worried more and more and then back up at Cristian.

“Camila has so much worse planned since you're bonded. She is going to make you feel so much pain,” he said once again. Blaine growled and glared at the beast in front of him.

“I wouldn't have done that,” Cristian said touching the tip to Blaine's chest. Blaine winced in pain and his whole body tensed. Cristian dragged it down the line that was already on his chest, reopening any closed wound there was. Blaine cried out in agony as the pain soared through his chest. It felt as if a thousand knives were being stabbed into him all over his body.

“Cristian!” the familiar female voice called. Cristian stopped and ran up the stairs.

“I release--” Blaine said as quietly as possible hoping to break the bond with Kurt.

“I wouldn't do that...then your bond would break and he wouldn't know where you were...we need him here considering Erica is with him,” Cristian said. Blaine glared up at him. He had to do this...for Kurt. He couldn't make him feel this pain. Blaine was hunched over as much as he could without irritating the wounds but he was so weak.

“I need to...” he whispers. At that moment Camila is in front of him.

“Need to what? Sever your bond with that boy?” she asked smiling. Blaine glared up at her and growled.

“You never learn do you? You didn't for over a hundred years then and you won't now,” she said sweetly. It was disgusting to him.

“Cristian...grab the lever,” she said still staring at Blaine. He watched as the beast walked to some lever. She back away from him and looked at him.

“Where is Erica?” she asked.

“I won't tell you. You abandoned her, you find her,” he hissed.

“I didn't want that answer but oh well,” she said.

“Pull it?” Cristian asked.

“Pull it,” she said. Blaine looked over to see him pull the lever and blinds opened revealing light onto his back. Blaine cried out in pure agony and tried to move away. He couldn't. It felt as if a fire was raging along his back. He cried out in pain until the blinds closed and he was only whimpering now. Where the hell was the ring that prevented him from being affected by the sun? Camila had it now...shit.

“Pledge your allegiance to me,” she said.

“No...I could...co-could never do that,” he hissed. She shook her head and sighed.

“Too bad,” she said. She nodded to Cristian who opened the blinds and sent the rays of light along his skin. He cried out weakly now. Black spots were invading his vision now and he was willing to give in for just now.

“I...I re...I release...I release you,” he said struggling and reluctantly but knowing it was for the best.

“You fool!” Camila hissed and was now in front of him. Blaine glared up at her defiantly.

“You'll regret that!” she said.

“No...I won't. It means my love is okay,” he said.

“Cristian! Until I return I want you to pull that lever open every hour for a few seconds until he gives in and swears allegiance to us,” Camila said. Blaine watched her as she walked away. Cristian came over to him and looked down at him.

“You disgust me...I had the chance to end you years ago but Erica got in the way...I should do it now but Camila wouldn't like that,” he said.

“You always do what she says?” Blaine asked. Cristian glared down at him and came close to touching him with the stake.

“I do what makes her happy. If ending you was it at this moment I would do it,” he said.

“Exactly, you'll do anything for her...why don't you make your own choices instead of her deciding them?” Blaine asked.

“Why don't you ever shut up?”

“Make me,” Blaine hissed. He watched as Cristian walked back to the lever. Okay...maybe he shouldn't have said anything. Cristian pulled the lever and the sun radiated on him once again. He cried out once again. The pain was intense along his back and neck now. The blinds closed and he finally faded into a dark abyss.

Kurt and Erica had made their first trip out in actual daylight along a long winding road. It was apparently the road they needed to get to Easton Manor. When they got closer Kurt noticed it sitting within the woods.

“It's gorgeous...just as I remember it,” Erica said. They hadn't know their destination would be Easton Manor until the trail had led closer to the building. They were close to the building when a familiar face popped up in front of them.

“Simon...” Erica growled.

“Be careful...Camila has guards around the building,” he said.

“Camila?” she asked. Simon nodded and looked at them confused.

“Where's Blaine?”

“Camila had some guys attack us and they managed to take him...” Erica said. Kurt looked up at her angry.

“I thought something was going on...everybody has been quiet lately. Come on, I have a cabin nearby...you two can rest there and then go to Easton,” Simon said. Kurt didn't trust him but he shrugged it off and looked at Erica. She nodded and made their way to the cabin. It was hidden deep in the woods. As they slowed from a run to a walk Kurt stumbled. He caught himself but he fell down to the ground as pain went through his chest. He grabbed at his chest and gasped. A pain coursed through him and he felt tears sting at his eyes.

“Kurt...?” Erica asked. Her hands were on his arm and shoulder holding him.

“Pain...he's in pain...he's hurting...Erica why is she hurting him?” he asked. She hugged him tightly until the pain faded slightly. All of a sudden it was gone and he felt empty. It felt like a piece of him had been ripped from him and wouldn't return. He stared at the ground.

“Kurt...? Honey what's wrong?” she asked.

“It's gone...the pain and feeling and everything...it's gone,” he said.

“He broke your bond,” Erica said. He looked up at her surprised.

“No! He wouldn't!” Kurt said.

“It might be that bad that he had to. He's more than likely doing it to protect you,” she said. Kurt looked up at her blankly.

“To protect me? Now I don't know if he's alive or hurting or anything!”

“Please Kurt stop...” Erica said.

“Let's get to the cabin and sit down,” she said. She helped him up and let him lean on her and they finished the distance to the cabin. He sat down on the couch and looked down to the floor. Erica sat beside him and held him but all he felt was numb. He needed Blaine back...
