And Im begging you 

Bring me back to life 

I just cant stand leaving you alone at night

Its too late to go 

It has taken me forever just to try to know 

One for the money 

Two for the show 

Three to get ready 

And four to go 

For the life of me 

Dont know why it took me so long to see 

Stutter - Marinas Trech

Kurt sat with his head against the cold window of the truck, watching the rain fall down on the other side.

"Hey, kiddo." Kurt looked over to the driver, his father Burt, and raised an eyebrow questioningly. 

"I- er... Look Im sorry to have pulled you out of another school, just when youd started to make friends." 

Kurt shook his head, propping his feet up on the dashboard. "No, its okay Dad. I know this is important to you..."

Burt twisted his baseball cap round on his head, reaching over to put a hand on Kurts shoulder. 

"Im sure well get the bastard this time, and hey, maybe after we do, we can go back eh?" 

"Yeah, thatd be great..."

Truth is, Dad had been saying that each stop would be our last for a while now. Id kind of given up on the idea of ever having a normal life. Even if we did find moms killer, wed be far from done. Oh but dont misunderstand me, were not psycho serial killers or anything. The police might have thought her death was natural, but we knew differently. The thing that had killed her had been entirely supernatural.

Wed been hunting demons and all kinds of creatures every night since I was tiny. My moms death had affected Dad so badly, he swore hed never let anyone else go through what we did, so long as he could help it. So, here we are; another town, another hunt... Another worthless week trying to fit in. At least I didnt have to worry about getting attached; wed be out of here again before you know it.

Kurt sighed, turning up the radio and resting back against the window as they passed a road sign that read, Lima, Ohio. He tugged his jacket around him, closing his eyes, thinking that he may as well get some sleep while he could. 

Not too far away, in the woods, was a boy. Well, he was a boy, once... Now he was something other. Neither entirely alive nor entirely dead. 

His body was a puppet worn by the dark entity inside. A dark entity that sat in a tree and debated his part in the fate of the teenagers laughing beneath him.

Come on, Blaine. Just kill them. It wont take much, theyre just pathetic humans anyway, theyre not of use to anyone.

But their families... They mean something to other people, and besides, what have they done to deserve death?

But then why dont they deserve it? Kill them.

Dont.

Kill them.

You cant.

War waged in his mind between instinct and morals. Fancy that, a demon with morals. Something had to be said for the broken body he inhabited; they definitely had a strong mind. Or, had, once. 

The campfire grew dim as he sat there, the wind throwing ashes across the campsite. Blaine stood and stretched. Hed deliberated too long. If he stayed any longer, hed be late. 

And then He would be mad.

All according to plan. 

Wait no. 

Ah, who was he kidding? He hated killing innocent people. They were kids! He couldnt just tear them apart.

Any other demon would.

He would.

The boy turned, jumping down from the tree and walking briskly away from the campsite. He did have a meeting to attend after all. He didnt have to walk for very long before he came upon the ruins of what once would have been a grand structure, but had been left for nature to reclaim after a fire. The fire which had killed the boy whos body he now possessed, funnily enough. 

Blaine walked through the twisted gates and past the large sign that read Dalton Academy, heading towards the large hall, the least affected part of the building. The grounds swarmed with demons, most of which had beetle black eyes not unlike Blaines, but there were a few red-eyed demons around too. 

The demon he had to go and see now wasnt like the others, wasnt the usual blood-thirsty tyrant youd find in any old town. No, this demon was a force to be reckoned with, a death trap for any hunter foolish enough to seek Him out. His eyes glowed as yellow as the sulphur He left behind as He sowed death, destruction and sorrow into the hearts of mortal men. His host changed often, worn out by His sinful acts, though His cruelty always remained. He was the closest thing Blaine had to family, having helped him find his feet, as it were, when he first escaped from Hell. 

The things He had made Blaine do still make him feel sick to his stomach. Hed stopped obeying most of the other demons commands a while ago, but it hadnt troubled the creature. Hed simply found someone else. Sentimentality aside, he was still just a lesser demon, just another pawn.

Blaine pushed the large door open, taking a seat at the heavily occupied table that ran across the length of the hall. The demons here had come from all over the state for this meeting, many of them from places that the group Blaine lived with had resided before settling here in Ohio.

The other demons in the room didnt give the boy a second glance. They didnt interact with him often, finding his way of living too strange. They didnt understand why Blaine would have any emotion other than hate towards humans, and didnt like that he refused to kill them. It wasnt often that any of them spoke to him, never mind any other interaction, and he spent most of his time around town or alone in the forest besides. Blaines connection with Him was the only reason they hadnt tried to send him Back, he knew. 

A loud noise made all the demons turn to the head of the table, where He was stood. The room went silent almost instantly and he grinned maliciously. 

"Welcome. How have we all been?" There were quiet beginnings of murmured answers around the room but the demon cut in. "Never mind, I dont care. Ive gathered you all tonight to talk about a threat which has recently arisen. You may have noticed our numbers rapidly decreasing over the past few months, and herein lies the cause. There is a hunter, tracking us all. At first, he posed no real treat, just another hunter to pick off. But he is much more than that. He is a danger to demons everywhere and he will not stop until we are all back in that dark pit Below." A hiss went up around the room. 

"We must all work to eradicate the man known as Hummel, before he eradicates us. I have it plain that he plans to move here, to Lima, within a moons turn. Keep your eyes out for him brothers, and if you find the man, do not hesitate to kill him. That will be all." 

And with that, the demon swept from the room.

The others around Blaine sat in a respectable silence for a few seconds before the conversations started up again, and the room went back to the level of noise it had been at when Blaine first walked in. 

Blaine stood from the table and slipped out of the hall, walking back across the grounds and out of the gates, jumping to pull himself up onto a low branch.

I may not be able to kill innocent teenagers, but Hunters... Hunters I can kill no problem.
