“Oh my God, Kurt…. If I wasn’t already dead, Id swear you’d be the death of me.” Blaine let out between gasp. He just lay there in the giant four poster bed holding the man that he’d just spent the last 5 hours with in his arms. He leaned over and kissed Kurt’s forehead ever so gently.

“Mmmm Blaine, if you don’t watch it, I might get used to this.” He nuzzled his face into the side of Blaine’s neck. He took a deep breath and just slowly enjoyed the smells in the air. The musk of sweaty bodies filled his nose. He cringed at it and bit and began to climb out of bed, separating himself from the man he felt eternally connected to now.

“Where do you think you’re going my love?” He reached up real fast and gave Kurt a slap on his bare ass. Kurt jumped about a foot at the contact.
“Ouch, you son of a bitch, ha ha... Look here I’m having a hard enough time walking as it is, don’t go adding to it.” Blaine couldn’t help but giggle as he watch Kurt attempt to walk normally across the room. Seeing this and knowing that he was the cause of it, sent tingles thought his body into his cock, eagerly wanting to start their antics again.

“Blaine, darling, as much as I could spend the rest of my life naked in your arms, we are both in desperate need of a shower. Not to mention, the sun will be up in about half an hour.” Blaine got out of the bed and followed Kurt into the overly large shower. He was right the sun would be up in a little while, and that really didn’t give them much time to play.

As the two took turns lathering up each other and cleaning themselves off, they began discussing the plans for the day.
“Sam should be here in the next hour or so, I’ve asked that he keep you company today while I rest. New Orleans in a beautiful city, and you should definitely check it out while were here. As for tonight, I do need to warn you a bit. The others of my kind that will be here tonight are not all like me, they are my Lt.’s and will do as I say but I cannot make them change who they are. “

“I understand that, and I’ll do my best to stay composed.”

“That’d be for the best. You may witness a few things that are upsetting but you have to understand this is who we are, and how we’ve been for centuries. In fact, I think it may be best that we go ahead and send you back to New York tonight. I’ll have Mercedes go with you to keep you company. As soon as all the business is concluded here I’ll meet you there.”

“Promise me then, that you won’t make me wait too long for you.”

“Kurt I swear that I’ll always be by your side, as long as you’ll have me.”

The left the shower, and dried each other off. When they were done and dressed, they left the room and headed down the main stairs only to be met by Sam who was waiting at the bottom.

“Ah, I was wondering if you two love birds were ever gonna emerge or if I was gonna have to come in after you... and trust me it would not have been pleasant…” With that he just laughed at himself, It was nice to finally see a smile continuously on Blaine’s face. “Ok then, Blaine, the vault is prepared for you, and Kurt, There is a car out front ready for us to leave.”

“Thanks for keeping Kurt company today Sam, I appreciate it. Before you go, would you please get in touch with Mercedes and see how the arrangements for tonight goes.” He turned to Kurt and embraced him with a brief but ever so passionate kiss... “And you Mr., I shall see this evening. Try to have fun today, I took the liberty of getting you a few things for you trip, Sam will see that you get them.” Kurt smiled back at his lover, he had always been strong and independent but with Blaine, he had no problem taking the submissive role…. Which he proved to be very good at the night before.

At the thought of these events, Kurt felt something stir in his jeans, and knew that he needed to get his mind of this topic or else…

“Sam, have Santana and Brittney arrived yet?”

“Yes, they and the package have already made their way to the Vaults.”

“Very well, you two behave yourselves today.” With a quick Kiss to Kurt Blaine was off towards the Library. He knew he could count on Sam to keep Kurt safe; there was no doubt in his mind.

Sam and Kurt left the plantation soon after to explore all that the Big Easy had to offer. There first stop was a Café in the French Quarter, Café du Monde, Kurt had never had Beignets before but they were rapidly making their way up his list of Favorite Foods.

“Oh my god, this is like little pillows of heaven buried in mountains of Sugar. Where have you been all my life!” he said as he devoured his third one.

“Easy now Kurt, you don’t want to lose your girlish figure now do you.”

“Bite me Trout Mouth.”

“Ha-ha, good to see you haven’t lost that fire in you yet. I was wondering if Blaine rode it out of you last night or not. “At hearing Sam joke about the intimacy between him and Blaine, he began blushing from ear to ear.

“I… you… ugh,”

“Don’t worry; Blaine doesn’t do kiss and tell. I could tell by watching you walk this morning. Have to say, you took it like a man apparently, ha-ha.”

They left the café to see what other adventures they could find in the quarter. Darting in and out of quaint little shops, visiting the gravesite of Marie Laveau, and finally taking a stroll in the New Orleans Botanical Gardens.

“Thank you for this Sam, I really appreciate it.”

“Don’t thank me, you important to Blaine and so therefore, important to all of us who hold him dear.”

“So can I ask a question, what happened between you to? Like what did he do for him to deserve such loyalty?”

“About six years ago, my family and I were as homeless as you were. We lived in and out of cheap motels, while my dad took small odds and ends jobs here and there. Food was hard to come by, let along enough to feed a family of four. I was out for a walk one night, and I stumbled across Blaine having an argument with these two huge guys. I knew things were getting out of hand and then I saw one of the guys reach for a gun. I went running in and shoved Blaine out of the way. I had taken a few fighting class’s when I was younger before we lost it all so I am very capable of defending myself, of course at the time I didn’t know Blaine was what he was, and was more than able to handle these guys. I got the gun away from the one guy, and pointed it at the other scaring them both off. Hahaha, Blaine stood up with this odd look on his face, and thanked me for helping him.”

“Oh wow, that was brave of you Sam.”

“No, not brave, I just reacted. Didn’t have much time to think about it. Blaine was so impressed with my willingness to help others that he hired me as his assistant. If that wasn’t enough, He purchased a new home for my family and had my dad hired on at one of this company offices in Dallas. After the first year he filled me in on the whole vampire thing, but after all he had done for my family there was no way I was backing down from him. I swore I’d be his man till the end and I shall.”

“ Blaine really is one of a kind isn’t he? I’ve met dozens of guys, but never one quite like him. He radiates power and authority but at the same time he has the loving compassionate side that you can see. In all honesty Sam, I don’t know where I would be or go if I hadn’t met Blaine.”

Sam became somewhat stiff and took Kurt by the arm and began to guide him through the park at a quick pace.
“Kurt, I wasn’t sure then but I’m positive now, someone’s been following us. When I tell you to, I want you to run as fast as you can to the car. Were parked about 100 yards from where we are now. Get in the back, lock the doors, and let no one in other than me. The car is armored so you’ll be safe there. Ok, here they come…. Don’t let them know we see them, when I tell you.. run.”

“But what about you, You can’t expect me to leave you alone. What if there’s too many, or there armed?”

“Let’s hope for their sake they are armed….ready now…..GO!” Kurt Bolted forward, pushing himself to run as fast as he could. He could hear the shouts and yells of a fight coming from behind him, but he dare not look back. He saw the car dead ahead and headed towards it. He opened the door and threw himself into the back seat, locking the doors behind him. The windows were tinted to see really couldn’t see out, but he could hear someone beating on the window trying to get in. All he could do was sit there and wait, he didn’t know how long they would keep trying or even if Sam was still alive.

“God Sam, please be ok. Please dear God be ok!”

“Kurt.. can you hear me? I need you to open the door. Its ok now, there gone.”

“Mercedes? Is that you?”

“Yes, we got the alarm that something was wrong so we dispatched a security force.”

Kurt opened the door and climbed out and was greet by a huge Hug from Mercedes. She was right, the thugs were gone and he was no surrounded by several men in suits with guns. He would have been scared if each of them didn’t have badges that read “CrissColfer Intl.”

“Sam, you have to find Sam. He stayed behind to defend me. Please Mercedes, we have to find him.”

“Sam’s ok Kurt, he’s a little banged up but he’ll be fine. They’ve already taken him back to have his wounds looked at. From what I saw it was just a few minor cuts and a gunshot wound in his right shoulder. But, it’s nothing critical. Now let’s get you back to Oak Ally before they come back with friends.”

Exhausted from exciting day, Kurt decided to lay down a bit and take a nap. He knew that Blaine would be up in a few hours, and didn’t want to be far when he did. He closed his eyes and drifted off into a dreamless sleep, as Mercedes was down stairs preparing the place for tonight’s events.

“ I want the main Party to be out in the courtyard! We’ll also be using the Center Hall as a private meeting area for Mr. Andersons guest. I want all security on the grounds doubled, and patrols to increase by three. No one comes within 800 yards of this place without us knowing it first. Do you understand>”

“Yes . At once.” The head guard snapped out, Mercedes ran a tight ship. Nothing was going to happen here under her watch. It was an embarrassment for the earlier events in the day to have taken place. Sam should have taken more men with him, he knew better than go alone.

“Mercedes! Why do I have armed guards running around the grounds of Oak Ally? You better have a damn good excuse too!”

“Sir, I’m sorry but I felt that it was nessacery to heighten our security measures after the events of today.”

“Events? What events?”

“ Early this evening while visiting the City’s Botanical Gardens, Assailants attacked Sam and Kurt.” Within the blink of an eye, Blaine had crossed the room , gripping Mercedes throat in his hand lifting her at least foot off the ground.

“DO WHAT? HOW COULD YOU ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN?” Never had Mercedes seen the kind of rage that was in Blaine’s eyes. It scared her deep down to the core of her soul.

“Sir, please….their….ok” she panted out. Blaine dropped her instantly and stepped back.

“Forgive me my friend, I lost control and I’m sorry. Where are they now?”

“ Sam is in the Security room overseeing the video surveillance set up. Kurt is upstairs in your room resting. Both are fine, Sam did his job well. Kurt was able to make it to safety while Same stayed behind to fight, walking away with a minor gunshot wound and a few scraps.”

“Do we know who was behind this? Was it one of the covens?”

“The Assailants escaped capture so we have no real leads at this time.”

“Very well, Continue with your security preparations. I’ll be upstairs, Also get a hold of the local blood Brothel, we’ll need a few for tonight.”

“Already taken care of, they’ll be arriving later tonight.” Blaine nodded his approval and left to go upstairs. He had just met Kurt, how could anyone know already the value in which he places on him. It was impossible that this had gotten back to his enemies so fast, unless that is, he had a spy in his house. He’d have to remember to speak with Santana about this later, though she wasn’t as old as some of his other lt.’s she was very adept at telepathy. She could easily find the traitor.

He entered the bedroom and just stood by the bed, staring down at Kurt. God he was beautiful, even more so when he slept. He climbed into the bed and as if in response, Kurt repositioned himself to where he was now laying his head on Blaine’s Chest. He began to wake and tilted his head to stare into the hazel eyes of his lover.

“Good morning handsome.”

“mmhhhmmm…” was all Kurt could let out as he cuddled up even closer to Blaine.

“I heard you had a bit of an exciting day. Kurt, I’m sorry about that. I never would have gotten you involved in my life if I had thought it would put you in danger with my enemies. Can you ever forgive me?”

“There’s nothing to forgive, I said I wanted to be a part of your life. Full Disclosure remember? I’ll take the good and the bad, come what may!” He kissed Blaine as to reassure he meant what he had just said.

“Besides Mr. Anderson, don’t we have a party to be getting ready for?”


The night went on without any more conflicts. The guest began arriving around 8 o’clock, and to Kurt’s surprised most of them looked fairly normal.

“Our world is about secrecy Kurt, were not going to walk around advertising about who we are. We keep a low profile and in turn, History leaves us out. Now if you’ll wait right here I have to go play the charitable host.”

“ Well well, you must be Kurt!” Kurt turn to see who was speaking and found himself staring at a tall beautiful Latin woman. This girl had curves in all the right places, and if Kurt had been into that, there was no doubt she would have had his undying attention.

“Yes I am, and who might you be?” The women just smiled devilishly and cross her arms.

“I’m Santana…hmmm.. I knew Blaine liked the pretty ones but, but damn, if they get any fairer than you, he’d be straight.”

“Oh Tana, place nice. I like him, he reminds me glitter.” Another tall beautiful Women appeared next to Santana, except this would was Blonde.

“I’m Brittney, but most of my friends just call me Brittney. “

“Ok then, Hello Brittney. I’ve heard a good bit about the two of you. Blaine really speaks highly of you.”

“Well he better, after all the shit we’ve gone through for our oh so benevolent leader. I can’t tell you how many mess’s we’ve had to clean up for him over the years.”

“ well, I’d sure love to hear some of these stories when you have a chance.” Kurt was eager to learn more about Blaine. He tended to keep a wall up at times, telling Kurt what he wanted to know but obviously leaving out gritty details.

“If Santana knows what’s good for her then she’ll definitely be keeping those stories to herself.” Blaine said as he came up wrapping his arms around Kurt’s waist. This caught Kurt off guard, he had never been real comfortable with Public affection, but with Blaine he felt safe so he didn’t fight it.

“ Of course my lord, I’d never dream of telling your new little lover all your deep dark secrets…” She cocked smile and new that she was flirting with danger here. But she didn’t care, this excited her. She loved to see just how far she could get Blaine fired up.

“ We’ll discuss this later for sure Santana. Brittney you look beautiful tonight. Santana sure is lucky to have someone like you with her.”

“Oh, so you two are… I see.” Recognition finally crossing Kurt’s eyes.

“Yep, Tana and I have scissoring for two hundred years now.”

Kurt faked a gag and Blaine just stood back and laughed. “ well then, so much for my appetite tonight.”

Blaine began to tap on his wine glass with a spoon to get everyone’s attention.

“Ladies and Gentlemen , I want to thank each of you for coming out and joining us on this beautiful night. Please feel free to continue enjoying the party at leisure but I’d like to invite all my business partners to meet me in the Center Hall.”

With that said about 12 different people began to filter out of the courtyard and into the house. Both men and women alike. Kurt was curious as to what would be going on, but he knew that this meeting was for vampires only. He glanced around and saw Mercedes, wearing a beautifully made white gown, discussing something with two other men. He cross the court yard and made his way to her side, he didn’t know many people so he thought it best to stay around those he did.

Blaine entered the Hall as his guest were filing in taking there appointed seats along the long wooden table in the center of the room. He made his way to the head of the table where a huge high back chair waited for me. On his side of his chair were Santana and Brittney, even though they could be a pain in the ass at times, there loyalty was never doubted. He had a seat and cleared his throat just as his servants were shutting all doors and locking them.

“Right, let’s get down to business shall we. The council now like monthly reports on all covens within your respected territories. Any coven surpassing their allotted population must be dealt with immediately. These are tense times, there are cameras, cell phones, videos being made everywhere. It’s too easy to slip up and get caught. Larger Covens tend to draw attention, and that’s not acceptable. So As of today, no coven shall consist of more than 7 vampires. “

At this sound of this several of the people in the room began to grumble and talk amongst themselves. Blaine knew this new limit would not go over well but , the law was the law. A tall Man stood up at the end of the right side of the table and cleared his throat, waiting to be acknowledged to speak.

“Yes William, you have something you would like to share.” Schuster was not one of his favorite subordinates but the man still had the right to speak.

“What of the covens who already exceed the limit. How do you plan on dealing with them. If we split them into new covens, it would encroach on feeding territory, and I for one will not sit idly as my territory’s descend to civil conflict.”

It was true that while Vampires in the Same Coven had no problem sharing feeding rights, Covens in the same area were always at war with each other over what each considered was solely theirs alone.

“ That issue was brought up and this solution is this. Any vampire under my reign will until the end of the year have the option to leave the area. I’ve spoken with the Head of House Sylvester, and she has agreed to open up the doors to the lost city to anyone who wishes. For those of you who don’t know, The Lost city is the only Vampire City on the planet, admission to this place is by invitation only due to its remote location. They do not survive off pure blood there, They have perfected a Blood substitute that keeps the population nourished and happy from what I’ve seen.”

“If they have a blood substitute then why no share it with the rest of us, that alone would end our need for feeding on humans, thus eliminating the territory disputes.” Shuster spat out angrily. Oh how he hated the aristocrats of their world. So full of themselves, thinking they were beyond the mere reach of anyone else.

“Negotiations with House Sylvester are still underway. They believe they are the only ones entitled to it and worthy of it. It took great compromise on our part just to allow them to take in anyone who wished to leave.”

“This is Fucking Ridiculous. Who the hell do they think they are telling us what we can and cannot do. The council has lost its way, it should be disbanded and replaced with a more modern union. I for one think…”

“SILENCE! Speak what you will about the other great houses, but no one under the banner of House Anderson will ever speak ill of the Council. They have done more for our kind than you would ever even know. If this blasphemous talk continues I will rip your heart out and eat it myself. Do you understand me Karofsky?”

Dave just sat there fuming. He would have his revenge for this display of ridicule… one day.

“Yes my lord, my apology’s .”

“Now, next on the list…” The door opened and Sam Came walking in with a stern look on his face, his arm in a sling. He walked up to Blaine and whispered something in his ear, Blaine immediately tensed up and then smiled. Sam back away and left the room.

“Well my friends it appears we have a guest tonight. Remember your places, I will not have embarrassment fall on my House.”

The doors opened again and in walked a women wearing a skin tight black leather suit, with high heels. She stopped and gazed around the room, taking in all the faces, recognizing a few of them. Sam was standing right beside and step forward to speak.

“ My Lord, ladies and gentlemen of the Covens, I’d like to present to you the Mistress of House Cohen-Chang, Ruler of Eastern Houses and Member of the Grand Council.”

Everyone stood from the table and bowed before Tina. This was a sign of total respect, and she appreciated the offer. She looked upon Blaine at the end, her old friend and mentor. He slide away from the table and came across the room to greet her fondly with a kiss on the hand.

“My Lady, it’s wonderful to see you again.”

“The pleasure is mine, My Lord. Sorry to intrude on your gathering but I have news you and your subjects need to hear.”

“Very well, please join us. I have to admit I wasn’t expecting you in the states.”

“It was a last minutes trip, I left Michael in charge in Singapore.”

There was no hiding the shock in Blaine’s face. Michael, or Mike, and Tina were Mated. Seeing one without the other was something you didn’t encounter. Once vampires mate it physically hurts them to be away from their partners for long amounts of time. Whatever reason she was here for, must have been urgent.

“My sources tell me that your lover was attacked earlier today in public. Is that true?”

Blaine was suddenly aware of all his Lt.’s staring at him. They hurt in there hides not hidden. He knew he should have told them sooner but he had put it off till the end. Now they were hearing from someone else other than their master.

“Yes, I was just about to discuss this with my Brothers and Sisters here. Kurt is fine, and so is Sam, as you can see. We do not know however who the attack came from. I was going to ask if anyone of you knew of any activity, violent or otherwise being committed against our kind and those we associate with.”

No one moved or said a word. Tina stood from the table and began to speak, and everyone’s attention was on her now.

“ This is not the first attack Anderson. A similar attack was made on one of Coven’s outside Okinawa last week, during daylight.” Several of the females shook their heads in disbelieve while many of the men swore under their breath. To attack a coven during Daylight was one of the greatest sins you could commit, because there was no way for them to defend themselves.

“ The entire Coven, including one of my Lt.’s , Pan-Ling, were bound in silver and then drug into the sunlight. I’ve spoken with Cooper as well, He had an attack on his life three nights ago at the Sydney Opera House. He suffered many wounds but was easily able to heal himself. His human associates however were not so lucky.”

“So what you’re saying is that, someone who knows an awfully lot about our people, has declared war on us?” The statement left Blaine’s mouth and he still had a hard time believing it.

“Unfortunately that’s correct Anderson. It’s believed that the assailants are Human but there leader is one of us. That would explain how they know so much about us. Someone has betrayed us… I feel that an Emergency Council meeting is in order, but I need you to second my movement.”

“Of course.. you have my full support old friend. Alright everyone, you heard the lady. Spread the word to your respective territories, be on the lookout and prepared for anything out of place. We will not allow these people to destroy us.. if it’s a war they want.. then it’s a war they shall have.”

The room was filled with Cheers and rallying cries for war. I sat back down in his chair and began to think.
This makes no sense. Why would someone betray us. Don’t they know they can’t win… If anything had happened to Kurt today, I don’t know what I would do…. I mean there he was in the city, and then they came……the city….OH MY GOD

“ GUARDSS! Prepare for an attack, everyone get to the vaults, for fuck’s sake why didn’t I see this. Sam, Find Kurt! “

“Anderson what’s going on?” Tina Barked out angrily.

“Kurt was attacked in the City today, He and I have only been together for a few days now. If they knew his location today then….”

“..they know where we are now.” Tina was caught off guard by her own words, she overlooked that. How could she be so reckless. She turned to leave out with Blaine, as they made it to the front doors there was a huge explosion in front of them, the force of which sent them sailing back into the far side of the room and through the wall.

Everywhere around the Plantation were screams and explosions, followed by gunfire. Blaine climbed out of the wall and saw that Tina too was getting back on her feet. The place was on fire and barely standing. Most of his coven members had left the room before the explosion but he wasn’t sure what their fates were yet. Honestly he didn’t care, his only concern right now was for Kurt. He gestured for Tina to follow him, if they encounter anyone out there, she and him could easily take them. She may not look much but she was over 1600 years old… she could hold her own in a fight. As they came into the courtyard, they were greet by burning ruble, bodies strewn across the yard, people screaming, the smell of both blood and death in the air. He scan the view to Mercedes half hidden behind an upturned table screaming for help holding the table cloth in her arms… Blaine was across the square in a blink only to find that it wasn’t a bloody tablecloth she held……it was Kurt. His face had been badly burned and he was bleeding from a gunshot to the chest. Blaine quickly scooped him up into his arms, tears running down his face.

“Kurt… baby… please… stay with me……TINA!! Quick he needs your blood.” She sliced open her wrist and began to pour the warm liquid into his mouth as Blaine just held him.

“Come on baby, please, just swallow it.. please. Kurt please, just swallow it.”

“Blaine he’s not drinking it. He has to drink it.” Blaine began rocking back and forth tears running down if his, Kurt wasn’t drinking. He wouldn’t last much longer if he didn’t, his wounds were too much. He bent down and was kissing Kurt’s Forehead, Pleading for him to wake up.

“Blaine.. Blaine listen to me.. His heart is just about to stop. It’s over with, He’s gone. I’m so sorry sweetie” Tina put her hand on Blains trying to get him to see reason, there was nothing left for him to do. He was going to lose the human he loved so much.
“There’s nothing you can do now….”

“Like hell there isn’t..” His Fang’s descended out of his gums and his eyes went as black as night,

“ BLAINE YOU Can’t!!!” With one swift backhand motion he threw Tina 50ft behind him. He knew it was against the law for the Ancient’s to sire new bloods, but he didn’t care. If this was the only way he could have Kurt then so be it. He threw his back and then sunk his teeth in Kurt’s Neck, taking in all the warmth that was left in the Boys body.

Tina approached from behind and just stood and watched as her friend desperately tried to save what was his.
Blaine… sweetie.. you shouldn’t do this. He’s too far gone, you may not can save him.. And if you do, then you’ve cursed the one being you loved to be a soulless monster for eternity..

Sam came running up from what was left of the Plantation kitchens. He didn’t look too good himself, his body covered with more cuts and bruises than before. Sam went to say something and then he realized what was going on in front of him… The site of Blaine holding his lovers body in his arms as he screamed was heartbreaking.

A moment later Santana was there with Brittney both of them covered in blood.
“You two ok?”

“Yea, not our blood. The area is now, secure, but there could be others nearby. We need to evacuate the survivors soon.”

Tina continued to stare at Blaine, what he must be going through right now. She knew if it had been Her and Michael in their place, she would be inconsolable. She knew that with him disconnected at the moment she needed to take charge.

“Very well, under my command, have all survivors evacuated to the offsite vault. The sun will be up soon so we have to hurry. Sam, take Mercedes and escort all of our humans to the rooms at Blaine’s New Orleans office.”

“Tee…what's wrong with Blaney?” Brittney tilted her head to the side and just watched Blaine from afar.

“Brittney…..give him some space….he just lost Kurt”

Blaine wasn’t aware of anything else going on around here. He couldn’t bring his eyes away from Kurt’s Face. That face that is still as beautiful as ever, even with the burns. He just simply sat there rocking Kurt’s body back and forth… singing to him… tears flowing down his face. His world had ended this night, he had nothing else to live for now…..
