"Kurt…?"

Kurt calmed when Jeff whispered to him and mentally scoffed at himself for not noticing that it was the blond in the first place. He let out a soft groan as he lifted his head to look in the other fledgling's face. "Jeff?" he whispered, slowly looking around the room. It defiantly wasn't his from the dark blue and gold color scheme.

"Oh god, I was so scared you weren't going to come back." Jeff whimpered, gently rolling Kurt on his back to climb over him. He looked into the younger fledgling's unique colored eyes, biting his bottom lip. "I'm so sorry, Kurt." he said, closing his eyes as tears leaked down his cheeks.

Kurt blinked in confusion, eyebrows raising when he noticed how wet Jeff's face was. "I don't see what you can be sorry for." he whispered, reaching up to wipe the blonds cheeks.

"I should of watched you closer, I should of stopped you. I'm so freaking stupid to think that Jeremiah wouldn't try something I me-"

"Jeff, it's not your fault." Kurt interrupted quickly, reaching up to rest his hands on the other's shoulders. "I shouldn't have ran off like that."

Jeff shook his head slowly, rolling to Kurt's side to wrap his arms around the thin teen. "You couldn't really help it…" he mumbled, pressing his face into Kurt's neck, a soft purr coming from his chest. "We thought we had lost you."

Kurt pressed a kiss to Jeff's forehead, allowing the blond to press gentle kisses across his jaw and neck. Slowly he lifted his hands to run his fingers through the silky blond hair atop the fledgling's head. "Where are we anyways?" he whispered.

"In Nick's rooms." Jeff began quietly, rubbing his nose against Kurt's cheek for a moment before continuing. "Blaine brought you here because I…well apparently I wouldn't stop freaking out."

"Freaking out?" Kurt asked, holding back a giggle when Jeff's fingers ran against his sides.

"I think I was throwing a fit, but I can't remember." Jeff said with a furrowed brow. "Nick said I was yelling and crying so much that I kind of lost it for a few hours." Jeff sniffed. "He said I kept trying to get through the fledglings locks on the door."

"Jeff, its okay." Kurt murmured softly, tugging at the locks of hair between his fingers gently. "I'm fine, and Jerry is too." he added incase the blond didn't know already. He felt Jeff nod against his shoulder and sighed, closing his eyes as a quiet purr sounded as if to answer the blonds. "Where is Blaine?"

Jeff stilled for a moment before he answered. "I don't really know, Kurt." he admitted softly. "He came in and put a pair of pajama pants on you before tucking you in and leaving again with Nick."

"They left us alone…?" he whispered in surprise. He smiled slightly when a snort of laughter left Jeff.

"As if." Jeff whispered back. "Collin is in the living room with Jerry and his fledgling." he explained. "I think Blaine and Nick are looking for Jeremiah…"

"What?" Kurt asked, managing to pull himself from Jeff's strong arms. The blond gave a soft huff before sitting up as well. "Why?" Kurt asked, looking into Jeff's face.

Jeff gave a slight shrug. "I don't know, maybe he's finally going to teach Jeremiah not to mess with him." he said, reaching up to rub at his eyes. "I hope so, that asshole needs to be put in his place."

Kurt looked down to his legs, another smile tugging at his lips when he noticed that the pajama pants that Blaine had put him in were his favorite. He knew the vampire hadn't grabbed them by accident because he had purposely pushed them to the back of his dresser so he wouldn't be tempted to wear them since they were beginning to fade. He reached down and bunched up the soft material in his hands with a soft sigh. "You don't think Blaine will hurt him too much do you?"

Jeff tilted his head slightly as he thought about his answer. "I don't think so, I mean Jeremiah is his creation after all." he said, smiling when Kurt shot him a confused look. "Nick says its really hard to do anything like that to your own."

"Oh." Kurt said, smiling when Jeff took his hands in his, giving them a light squeeze. "I just don't understand why he hates me." Kurt mumbled sadly, looking back down at the bed as he felt another soft squeeze from Jeff's hands. "I don't think I did anything…"

"You didn't." Jeff said quickly before sighing and looking over his shoulder at the closed door. He looked back to Kurt before he began to speak again. "Look if I tell you this, you got to promise me you won't let Blaine and Nick know that I told you." he whispered, continuing when Kurt nodded his head quickly in reply. Jeff took a deep breath to steady his thoughts. "Jeremiah has never moved on."

"Moved on?" Kurt asked, watching as Jeff leaned against the cushioned headboard of the bed.

"Yeah, if your creator doesn't choose you to be their mate then you are expected to move on once you have turned completely." Jeff continued, staring at the back wall as he spoke. "Nick says that Jeremiah refused to move on from Blaine even though he didn't want him as a mate."

Kurt looked away for a moment, mind racing at the new information. Would Blaine just throw him away after he had turned into a full fledged vampire? No wonder Jeremiah was crazy! If Blaine had told him to go away after all the things they had been through… He swallowed nervously before looking at Jeff with wide, horrified eyes. "Will Blaine kick me out too?" he whispered.

Jeff shook his head, a little grin gracing his lips. "Did you and Blaine have sex before you were turned?" he asked, holding back a laugh when Kurt's face flushed to a bright red color.

"N-No, but what does that have to do with this?" Kurt asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

Jeff smiled at Kurt before sitting up straighter. "When a vampire doesn't push or have sex with the human before they turn them, it's a very good sign that they are choosing them for their mate." he said quietly, reaching for Kurt's hand again. "You get it?"

Kurt nodded breathing a sigh of relief. At least for now he knew that there was a chance that he wouldn't be pushed away. "I hope…he does choose me."

"I'm sure he will Kurt, you'll learn more in school." Jeff said, waving away Kurt's worry to continue their other conversation. "Okay so, like I was saying earlier, Jeremiah never moved on so he never turned a fledgling." Jeff spoke quietly, still glancing at the door from time to time as he spoke. "Blaine had to continue to look after him even though he was old enough to do it on his own. He would deliberately not feed and Blaine would find him in his room too weak to do anything. He even started fights with the other covens and were-packs, causing people to look down on our family line." Jeff continued, reaching up to push his bangs from his eyes. "Alexander eventually had to come and sort him out…well kind of."

Kurt raised an eyebrow as he listened, wondering what the older vampire had done to Jeremiah. It didn't seem to have worked, but maybe Jeremiah's attitude had been worse before he knew him? "What did he do to him?" he finally asked.

Jeff shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure, Nick wouldn't tell me that part." he said before sighing once again. "Anyways, Blaine finally decided that Jeremiah could take care of himself and decided to turn another fledgling." Jeff whispered softly, scooting closer to Kurt to wrap his arms around him.

Kurt wasn't surprised by the cuddling but what confused him was the fact that Jeff was tense and his shoulder was getting wet where Jeff was rested his head. "Jeff?" he asked, closing his eyes when the arms around him pulled him even closer.

"Jeremiah didn't like it all." Jeff continued, ignoring the distressed whine Kurt gave in response to his tears. "Nick told me that Jeremiah kept harassing and pushing the fledgling too far when Blaine wasn't around." he sniffled quietly, pressing a few kisses against Kurt's bare shoulder.

Kurt remained quiet for a moment, allowing the blond to take a break and pull him even closer so that he was practically laying against him. "What was his name?" he asked quietly, stroking the blonds arms that rested against his chest.

"Jace." Jeff mumbled before taking another breath. "Hunters…caught him and…" he trailed off, sniffling again as he tried to control his emotions.

"Did he run off too?" Kurt whispered, wishing he could stop Jeff from crying. The blond just seemed so upset. His eyes widened slightly as he thought about what Jeremiah had done to him earlier. "Did Jeremiah l-"

"No." Jeff said quickly. "He didn't but Nick thinks Jeremiah hired someone to do it."

"Why does he think that?" Kurt asked, getting more confused as the conversation continued.

"The night before the…"

"Hunters." Kurt pushed gently after another loud sniff left the older fledgling.

"Nick had followed Jeremiah when he noticed how close he had been to the border of the town. He said he saw him talking to a few people, but couldn't get close enough to see who it was." Jeff paused for a moment. "He warned Blaine immediately, but he didn't listen and took Jace out into the town the next night." Jeff smiled sadly against Kurt's soft skin. "Apparently it was Jace's first night outside of Dalton and Blaine was showing him all the things along the streets."

Kurt frowned as he listened, closing his eyes as he thought back to the hunters that had pinned him to the wall. "I don't understand, the hunters I ran into weren't that impressive…" He felt Jeff shaking his head against his shoulder.

"Then you were really lucky, Kurt." Jeff whispered, planting another kiss upon Kurt's shoulder blade. "Hunters are really scary…"

Kurt left Jeff have another moment of silence to collect his thoughts before he questioned him again. "What happened?"

"Ten or thirteen hunters surrounded them in the streets and took aim at Jace." Jeff mumbled, closing his eyes and rested his forehead against the back of Kurt's neck. "He never had a chance and Blaine he…"

"He what?"

"He ne-"

The door suddenly flew open and Alexander walked in quickly, looking at Kurt closely. "Kurt, I need you to come with me."

Kurt looked at the older vampire and shook his head quickly. "W-Where is Blaine?" he asked warily, leaning away from Alexander when he reached out to grab him.

"And Nick!" Jeff snapped, growling at Alexander as the vampire tried to grab Kurt again.

"They are about to do a horrible thing." Alexander said softly, ignoring the soft huff Collin gave when he walked in behind him.

"Like what?" Jeff asked, not giving Kurt a chance to voice his own questions.

Alexander growled, causing the two fledglings to shiver. "He is about to commit murder to his own creation. If I do not bring Kurt to him he won't stop." he said, holding out his hands to the younger fledgling.

"He deserves it, that prick!" Jeff snapped, not letting Kurt out of his grip when the thinner teen tried to crawl away.

"Jeff, let Kurt go." Collin said, moving quickly so he could pull the blonds arms from Kurt's chest. "If Blaine chooses to do this it needs to be when he can think rationally, not when its just instinct telling him to do so."

Kurt whimpered softly when Alexander lifted him in his arms bridal style, looking over the vampire's shoulder when Jeff cried out for him. "Its okay Jeff! I promise, I'll come back." he said quickly, watching the older fledgling stop struggling against Collin. "I'll be fine." he smiled sadly when Jeff gave a little nod before diving for one of the pillows on his bed, burying his head into it and giving a small sob.

Alexander walked out quickly, not even letting Jerry say high to Kurt on the way out of the room. He licked his lips as he tried to think straight. So had Jeremiah really hired Hunters to kill Jace like Nick thought, or was that a misunderstanding? Would Blaine really kill Jeremiah if Alexander didn't bring him? What could he do to stop the vampire anyways? "What am I supposed to do?"

"Hopefully nothing sweetheart." Alexander said soothingly, knowing the fledgling had had a rough night already. "I'm hoping he'll smell you and snap out of it."

"And if he doesn't?" Kurt asked, sighing as he felt Alexander pick up his pace. He really didn't know what to think or how to act at the moment. Too much information was swirling around his head and his emotions were out of whack. One moment he felt like crying because of Jace and then the next he felt like punching something because of what Jeremiah had done to him earlier.

"We'll think of something." Alexander answered eventually, stopping in front of a pair of large wooden doors a few minutes later. He kicked them open, causing all the occupants of the room to look up in surprise.

"Alexander!" Nick snapped, rushing up to the older vampire. "How could you bring Kurt here?" he asked, trying to take the fledgling away from the other. He quickly backed off when the older male growled in warning.

"Someone has to stop him." Alexander said, gently placing Kurt on his feet and wrapping his arm around the fledgling's thin waist to steady him.

Kurt felt dizzy as he stood on his feet and leaned against the vampire beside him as he looked around the large room. A lot of vampires seemed to have gathered, including the family members that were at Jeff's party earlier, except Collin of course who had stayed behind with Jeff, Jerry and his own fledgling. He looked towards the middle of the room once he could focus again and gasped when he saw Blaine.

His creator was currently holding Jeremiah by the throat against the floor, his fangs bared as a loud growl erupted from his throat. A large pool of blood surrounded Jeremiah's head, coloring the blond hair that splayed across it. The younger vampire wasn't even putting up a fight and Kurt noticed the way the blonds hands shook against the floor.

"How could you?" Blaine growled, hissing when Jeremiah opened his mouth. "You own brother." he snapped, digging his nails deeper into the blonds throat causing more blood to gush to the floor. "He's your own fucking family and you decide to just throw him out?" he yelled, not looking up when someone let out a soft gasp.

Kurt whimpered, taking a step back from Alexander. He had never see Blaine this angry or this scary looking before and it scared him. "B-Blaine." he whispered, jumping slightly when the vampire's head snapped up to look at him.

Blaine looked over Kurt who was still too pale and swaying slightly on his feet. He glanced at Alexander as another loud growl left him. "How could you bring him to his own brother's beheading, Alexander?" he snapped, standing up in a flash, stomping his foot upon Jeremiah's chest when the younger vampire tried to move.

Kurt held in a whine when he heard the sickening crack of what he assumed was Jeremiah's rib cage. He winced when the blond vampire coughed, blood spewing across the floor. "Oh god, Blaine stop!" Kurt cried out frantically, Alexander grabbing his wrist when he tried to move forward.

"Take him back to Nick's rooms." Blaine growled at his own creator, ignoring the way Jeremiah weakly pulled at his foot.

"Come to your senses Blaine, you are about to kill one of your own creations!" Alexander growled back, keeping Kurt in place as the fledgling started to whimper from the loud growls. "You found Kurt and he's safe along with the other two fledglings, there is no need for this!"

"He purposely lured my fledgling out and you think there is no need?" Blaine yelled, glancing at Kurt when the teen let out a small sound of despair. He shook his head when his anger began to slip away to be replaced with worry. "I'm tired of his shit, he needs to be corrected!"

"By killing him?" Kurt whispered, staring Blaine straight in the face. "H-How can he learn if you rip his head off like some deranged animal?" he asked, looking down at Jeremiah as the vampire coughed again. Sure he really didn't like him, but he didn't want to see him dead. An image of his father splayed about the parking lot in the pool of his own blood resurfaced in his head, causing a few tears to leak from the corners of his eyes.

Blaine's face fell at the sight of Kurt's tears. The fledgling had been through so much tonight and here he was about to behead his own creation in front of him out of anger. He shrugged off the nagging thoughts and looked at Nick who was watching him with concern reflected in his bright green eyes. "Nick, take Kurt back since Alexander wont."

Alexander growled again and shook his head. "You will regret this when you realize what you have done, you must stop!" he shouted, snapping at Nick's neck when the shorter vampire tried to take Kurt away from him.

Kurt's head began to hurt as he stood there trying to listen to everything they were saying. He whined when the room seemed to spin slightly and closed his eyes for a moment, regretting it when his father's dead face stared back at him behind his closed lids. He heard another argument and a weak plea from Jeremiah in the middle of it. The rest of the vampires began to mutter to one another as Alexander and Blaine continued to argue. A hot surge shot through his body as his head began to hurt even more, causing his hands to tremble slightly. "STOP!" he cried out, surprised when Alexander jumped away from him. He opened his eyes to glance at the older vampire, noticing the vampire licking his hand as he stared at him with a curious expression. Shaking his head he looked towards Blaine as more tears slipped down his pale cheeks. "Please Blaine, don't." he begged hoarsely, taking a few steps towards his Creator.

Blaine sighed as he watched Kurt walk towards him. "He led you outside purposely and broke your phone, yet you want me to forgive him?" Blaine asked, his voice soft and calm as Kurt slowly approached him on stumbling feet.

"If you kill Jeremiah, you would be like the people who killed my dad." Kurt whispered, finally making it to Blaine. He almost fell over his own feet but a strong, warm hand grabbed his forearm to steady him. "You're not a murderer, Blaine." he said hopefully, leaning his head against Blaine's shoulder as he fought to keep his eyes open. He felt Blaine's arm wrap around his waist. "Re…Remember when you told me you've never killed a human because you always stopped drinking before you drained them?" he whispered weakly. "You killed the hunter because he was trying to kill me, Jeremiah wasn't…please."

Blaine closed his eyes before resting his chin on top of Kurt's head. "Yes I remember." he said gently, tilting his head to look at the vampire under his foot. The sight of the blonds blood caused a sick churn to his stomach. The sight must of reminded Kurt of his father and a chill crawled across his spine at the thought of Kurt seeing him in the same light as the two teenage boys who had shot him.

"Please…give him another chance." Kurt begged, all his weight now supported by Blaine. How could he be so tired that he felt like he was about to pass out on his feet? Hadn't he just had a nap?

"One more chance." Blaine whispered into Kurt's ear, lifting his foot from Jeremiah. Slowly he picked Kurt up in his arms, not surprised when the fledgling passed out. "Get him out of my sight." he hissed, looking away when a few vampires quickly picked up Jeremiah to rush him out of the room.

Elizabeth sighed from her spot against the wall. "Yet again he has gotten away with murder." she whispered with a shake of her head. "Next time he fucks up and you do nothing, little brother…" Elizabeth began, walking up to press a kiss to Kurt's forehead. "I will personally rip of his balls and shove them down his throat before tearing his head off." she said, giving Blaine a dark look before leaving the room.

Nick growled in agreement, nodding towards Alexander before leaving the room with the others, having every intention of returning to Jeff. Soon the room was empty besides Blaine and Alexander and a sleeping Kurt. Alexander slowly walked up to Blaine and smiled sadly as he watched the vampire plant kisses across the fledglings face, a few tears actually slipping down the other's face as he rubbed his nose against Kurt's cheek.

"Thank you." Blaine whispered to Alexander, looking up when the older vampire let out a soft chuckle.

"I have no idea why you are thanking me, Kurt was the one who stopped you even though he was scared shitless." Alexander said softly as he reached up to run his fingers through the fledgling's soft hair. "So much courage for one so young."

"Always." Blaine mumbled looking up when Alexander cleared his throat. He slowly shifted Kurt in his arms, smiling when the teen wrapped his arms around his neck. His eyes widened when Alexander held up his burned palm. He looked into Alexander's face before shaking his head in disbelief. "No, he can't be…"

"Blaine, it takes a lot to cause damage like this to my skin." Alexander said, licking over his palm again as he looked over Kurt's sleeping form. "I need to get the council here as soon as possible, though I doubt they will have to test him too much before coming to a decision." he said quietly.

Blaine closed his eyes as he listened to Alexander walk from the room. The odds of Kurt actually being a Naturalist was something like one in a million. He sighed before opening his eyes once again, kissing the side of Kurt's neck as he thought. Kurt would be the third naturalist in their family line, which meant it would bring about a lot of commotion and celebration. People would want him and would try to take him, from the safety of Dalton. They would praise and treat him differently from other fledglings, something Blaine was sure Kurt wouldn't like one bit.

Shit.
