After enough complaining about feeling 'drugged' and the fact that Kurt seemed to have healed completely, Blaine finally stopped forcing him to feed and actually let him leave the bed he had been living in for those two days. Nick and Jeff had continued to visit like they had the week before, meaning Kurt enjoyed constant cuddles for at least three to four hours a night. Of course the curiosity of their conversation just days before almost drove Kurt insane, but he knew he couldn't ask about it because there was a chance that Blaine and Nick would over hear.

Alexander had even stopped by a few times, normally when Nick and Jeff were still visiting. His fledgling, Andrew, was a really sweet person that loved to cuddle and chatter along with the other two fledglings. Kurt decided he really liked the shorter teen whenever he found out he could hold lengthy conversations about different fashion lines with him. Jeff was quiet during that time, but he had made use of his time by snuggling closer to Kurt as he listened.

Sometimes loud shouts or heavy thuds would startle the three fledglings out of the movie or cartoons they were watching. They could never really understand what was going on since the vampires were speaking in a language they had never heard before. Normally after those heated meetings Alexander walked out of the office in a huff before grabbing Andrew's hand and leaving, not even giving his fledgling a chance for a proper goodbye. When Kurt had asked about what they had been talking about Blaine distracted him with kisses, or something else that caused him to give up on trying to get information. Jeff had tried the same thing but came up with empty results as well.

Kurt now stood in front of the tall mirror that resided in the corner of their bedroom, scowling at the blazer he was currently buttoning. He had almost thrown a fit when he realized the school had uniforms, and to this moment he still didn't understand why they would make vampires and werewolves wear them.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted you in that uniform."

Kurt jumped at the sound of Blaine's voice, sighing when he felt the vampire's strong arms wrap around his waist. "You've got to stop sneaking up on me like that." he mumbled, smiling when he felt soft lips press against his neck. "Shouldn't I be able to hear you walk in anyways?"

"If I wasn't trying to purposely catch you off guard, then yes." Blaine whispered in Kurt's ear, squeezing his arms around him before letting go to stand next to him. He checked his gelled curls in the mirror, ignoring the look of disdain that crossed Kurt's face.

"I like your hair better when it isn't loaded down with gel." Kurt said quietly, turning back to the mirror, noticing how Blaine's untied tie laid across his shoulders.

"I know baby, but I like my hair presentable for class." Blaine said, finally satisfied with the way his hair was.

Kurt rolled his eyes. "Yes, it must be proper." he said in a huff, turning to face Blaine. He reached up to grab the vampires shoulders, pleased when the other let him turn to him to where he faced him. "How long have you been around again?"

"Now, now." Blaine said with a sigh, smiling when Kurt quickly pulled the tie from his shoulders. "You know it's against the rules to talk about my age." He chuckled when a soft snort of laughter left his fledgling in response.

"Well since you are such an old man, how come you don't know how to tie your own tie?" Kurt asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Who said I can't?" Blaine asked, grinning when Kurt sighed. "What if I only left it like that because I knew it would bother you into doing it yourself?"

Kurt shook his head as he slipped the tie around Blaine's neck before he began to tie it. "So I'm guessing your plan was just a desperate cry for attention?"

"With you I can never get enough of it." Blaine whispered, placing his hands on Kurt's slim hips once the fledgling had finished with his tie. He pulled him close, placing a gentle kiss to the corner of the teen's mouth before glancing at the mirror once again. He noticed the smile that graced Kurt's lips as he looked at the mirror as well. "You look amazing."

When Blaine said things like that it always made Kurt blush. He quickly rested his forehead against the vampire's shoulder, closing his eyes as he breathed in the familiar smell of coffee and cologne that had comforted him so many times before. He would never admit it out loud, but he was a little nervous.

Tonight would be the first time he would be away from Blaine since he had been turned, something of which he was slightly looking forward but also dreading. For one he would finally be able to feel like he owned himself once more and could walk around without the older vampire trailing after him. On the other hand, the comfort and safe haven he knew he had when he was around Blaine would be gone. As if the vampire could sense his inner turmoil, and hey lets face it he probably could knowing Blaine, he wrapped his arms around him and pressed a kiss to the side of his neck.

"You have nothing to worry about, Kurt." Blaine whispered, using one of his hands to rub comforting circles into the fledglings lower back. "Just pay attention in class and mind the teachers."

"I'm not worrying." Kurt said quickly, straightening and moving from Blaine's arms. He began to smooth the wrinkles from his blazer once again as the older vampire walked across the room. He stared at himself in the mirror, his face reflected with an determined expression. He couldn't let Blaine think he was scared of this new school, even if he was. Just a little bit.

"Of course you aren't." Blaine called from his spot beside the bed. He pulled the little drawer of the nightstand out and began to push papers and books aside as he looked for the long rectangular box he had placed in it a few days before. He smiled as his fingers finally brushed across the smooth surface of the box. Slowly he pulled it out and placed it on top of the nightstand before closing the drawer. He sat down on the edge of the bed and watched Kurt fiddle with the small Zebra head pin he had attached to the blazer's lapel earlier. "Kurt." he called softly, patting the spot next to him when the fledgling turned from the mirror to look at him.

Kurt slowly walked over to the bed and sat next to Blaine like the vampire wanted. His attention was immediately drawn to the shiny black box when the light reflected off of it, causing him to stare. When it was placed on his lap he finally looked up to Blaine with a confused expression. "I don't understand…"

"You don't have to." Blaine whispered, cupping the right side of Kurt's face gently. "Open it."

Kurt's eyes had shut when Blaine's warm hand had pressed against his face, but they fluttered open once more when the vampire spoke. He gave Blaine a shy smile before slowly lifting the lid of the box, gasping when a silver bracelet glittered back at him from the soft velvet lining in the box. He brought it closer to his face, the light continuing to reflect and bounce off as he studied it. It was made of beautiful Celtic knots entwined with one another with amethyst stones set in the center of each one. In the middle of the bracelet was a silver plate that had his full name etched into it in a beautiful cursive font. Kurt opened his mouth but nothing came out. He felt tears prick at the back of his eyes but quickly blinked them away before looking into Blaine's smiling face. "It's so beautiful." he whispered in awe, looking at the bracelet once more.

Blaine let out the breath he hadn't realized he had been holding before scooting closer to Kurt. He had been worried that maybe the fledgling wouldn't have liked it, but he was relieved that wasn't the case. "I had it made a few days after your rebirth." he said softly, slowly taking the box from Kurt's long fingers. "I was going to give it to you after Jeff's party, but things didn't quite workout that way." he whispered, taking the bracelet from the box and turning it over in his hand to show Kurt the engraving underneath the silver plate his name had been scrawled across.

Kurt didn't care now that tears were rolling down his flushed cheeks. "Oh Blaine…I don't know what to say…I just…" Kurt trailed off, looking away from the vampire to wipe his face. A warm hand grabbed his own while another gently grabbed his chin to turn his head to face Blaine's.

Blaine smiled and leaned forward, pressing a kiss to Kurt's lips. He hummed softly when the other pressed back and leaned away a few moments later, picking up the bracelet he had set aside. "May I put it on you?" he asked hopefully, smiling once again when Kurt held out his right wrist. He had to hold back a laugh when Kurt shivered from the cold silver wrapping around his skin. Pleased that it fit snugly so it wouldn't move around too much on Kurt's thin wrist, he looked back into the fledglings glasz colored eyes.

Kurt brought his wrist into his line of vision, a smile tugging at his lips. He watched the amethyst stone glitter along with the flat silver knots before looking into Blaine's eyes as well. "Thank you." he said in a strained voice, wrapping his arms around the vampire's shoulders before kissing his lips.

Blaine kissed Kurt back eagerly, being careful not to push his luck by not going any further. Their lips separated with a soft popping sound causing him to grin as he looked over Kurt's beautiful flushed face. "I love you." he whispered, leaning down to kiss the other's pale neck.

"I love you, too." Kurt whispered back, a soft sound leaving the back of his throat as he felt Blaine begin to suck against his neck. "What are you doing?" he asked, gasping when he was suddenly flopped on his back against the bed where Blaine crawled over him. He began to worry as a mischievous smirk seemed to spread across the vampire's lips.

Blaine licked his lips before he answered. "Well, considering you are going to be in a school filled with other vampires and wolves I thought it was a given." he paused for a moment before picking up Kurt's arm that held the bracelet on his wrist. "There is a reason its silver." he began, running his nose across the palm of Kurt's hand. "If a wolf advances you or you feel they are too close and they don't move when you ask, press this to any exposed skin." he instructed, pressing a kiss to Kurt's forehead. "Okay?"

Kurt's brow furrowed but he nodded in return. He wasn't sure why Blaine thought the werewolves were going to mess with him. Dave and Dustin had seemed decent enough the other day after all. Soon he was pulled out of his thoughts when Blaine began to attack his neck.

"Kurt!"

Kurt quickly dug his heels into the ground as he waited for the blond to pounce. He laughed when Jeff ran up to him and wrapped his arms around him, planting a kiss against his cheek. "Hi." he said, a little breathless since the older fledgling was currently squeezing him.

"Are you excited?" Jeff asked happily, finally relinquishing his hold.

Kurt breathed in a deep breath, nodding as he did so. "A bit." he admitted before straightening up again. He looked over to his shoulder to see Blaine talking with Nick in the empty hallway they had met up in. "Where is everyone else?" he asked, a loud purr leaving his chest as Jeff rubbed his nose against his shoulder.

Jeff stood up again and smiled. "Well it's the first day so I'm sure they are just chilling around different hallways and stuff." he said with a shrug of his shoulders. He watched the younger fledgling smooth the wrinkles from his blazer when something shiny caught his eye. Quickly reaching out he managed to grab Kurt's arm, holding it up right. "Hey!" he said excitedly as he looked at the silver bracelet wrapped around the other fledglings wrist. "That's so cool." he said as he studied the Celtic knots.

Kurt smiled and lifted his chin proudly as he allowed Jeff to look over his wrist. "Blaine got it for me." he said softly, smiling when the blond grinned in return.

"That's awesome." Jeff said, holding his hand out to Kurt's face after he had dropped the other's arm. "Nick gave me this ring right after I was turned." he said, watching the polished silver ring glint underneath the light in the hallway.

Kurt studied the thick banded ring closely, enthralled by the running horses etched on to both sides of the emerald stone that glittered where it sat in the middle of the ring. "It's amazing." he said softly, smiling when Jeff made a soft noise of approval before slinging his arm around his shoulders.

"Can we go now?" Jeff asked the two vampires who stopped speaking once he had. Blaine held up his hand to wave Kurt over, causing Jeff to pout when the younger fledgling left to walk up to his creator. He quickly walked over to Nick and wrapped his arms around the shorter vampire before pushing him against the right wall of the hallway.

"Jeff." Nick growled in warning, but was quickly silenced by Jeff's eager lips. He sighed, allowing the blond to take control. He moaned in his fledglings mouth, reaching around to squeeze the teen's butt. An excited growl left Jeff's mouth when he pulled back. Nick chuckled before gently pushing the other away, standing on his tip toes to press a gentle kiss to his lips. "Behave." he whispered, reaching up to pat Jeff's cheek before walking down the hallway.

Jeff glared at the back of Nick's head before smirking. "I'll get you back later." he whispered as he turned around to watch Blaine nuzzle Kurt's neck, licking over the bruised skin that caused the younger fledgling to shiver.

"If you have any problems you know where to find me." Blaine whispered in Kurt's ear, giving one final kiss to Kurt's lips before pulling back. He watched as the other nodded. "If the teachers give you an-"

"Blaine." Kurt interrupted with a soft laugh. "I'll be fine." he said, reaching out to grab the vampire's hand. "If anything goes wrong I'll come find you like we've talked about for the past three days." he said softly, squeezing the others hand before letting it go.

"Come on Kurt, you got to meet Drew, he's awesome!" Jeff said, taking Kurt's hand when the fledgling got close enough. He began to pull Kurt down the hall, knowing in the back of his mind that it might be a little difficult for the other fledgling at the moment. He knew he had been scared his first week of school because he hadn't felt comfortable without Nick. Kurt didn't seem too freaked out though, in fact with the way the other squared his shoulders and lifted his chin it seemed like he viewed it like a challenge.

Blaine watched Kurt's back as the other walked along side Jeff down the hallway. This had always been a hard part as a creator in his experience. He knew it had to be done, but he still just wanted to wrap Kurt up in his arms and never let him leave. A smile graced his lips at the thought, knowing that the fledgling wouldn't of let him for too much longer. He was still surprised that Kurt wasn't a bit more reluctant to leave his side, but then again he had always been stubborn.

Once the other two had turned the corner he began to head the opposite direction towards his own classroom, his thoughts still on Kurt as he walked. Alexander had said in their last encounter that the council would be here at the end of the week to test his fledgling. He knew by now that Kurt was anything but a normal vampire, he just wasn't so sure of him being a Naturalist like Alexander and Collin seemed to think he was.

Opening the door to his classroom and turning on the light which was mainly for the humans benefit, he sighed. He didn't know how Kurt was going to handle being told that he was different since he had been told that all throughout his mortal life. Though being a Naturalist was defiantly a thing to appreciate and celebrate, he knew Kurt had been looking forward to actually fitting in.

Blaine sat down in the leather chair behind his desk, placing his elbows on top of the dark wood and interlacing his fingers as he rested his chin on top of them. Should he tell Kurt what the others thought he was so he could be prepared, or should he keep quiet until they knew for sure? A sad smile crossed his face before he pulled out his grade book from his desk. Funny how a newborn possessed more of the one thing he thought he had an abundance of before he had met the strong willed human in that little coffee shop.

Courage.

Okay, so this was a little more nerve-wracking than he would like to admit but of course he wouldn't, at least not out loud. Jeff had pulled Kurt into a crowded hallway with so many different sounds, sights and smells that at first he thought his brain was going to implode on itself. The blond had been very understanding and patient though as Kurt clung to him in the middle of the room. He had even wrapped his arms around him in front of everyone else and whispered comforting words to him until he could calm down again. Finally Kurt pulled away letting the other voices become a hum in the back of his mind as he focused on Jeff's voice.

"You'll get used to it in a few days." Jeff said, pressing a kiss to Kurt's forehead before taking the other's hand again. "Come on, I'll introduce you to Drew and my other friends." he said excitedly, slowly leading Kurt across the room where his little group of friends had gathered.

Kurt followed Jeff, his sense of direction a bit wobbly from the sea of navy blue and red trimmed blazers. Why did Dalton make them wear uniforms again? His thoughts were interrupted when he heard Jeff's voice.

"Hey guys! Look I got a new cousin over the summer!" Jeff exclaimed excitedly, once again squeezing Kurt's hand.

Kurt finally looked over the group of friends Jeff was introducing him to, a flash of skin catching his eye. His brows furrowed as he followed the tanned skin up, jaw dropping when his sight landed on a skirt. A guy was wearing a skirt? How was he able to pull that off, not that Kurt specifically wanted to wear a skirt, but if this guy could wear a skirt then what other rules could he bend for himself? His gaze continued up, cheeks reddening when he finally noticed that the person defiantly had a right to wear a skirt if they so please, since you know, they had boobs. "You're a girl!" he blurted out without thinking, quickly slapping his hand over his mouth. He looked away from the short girl with a mortified expression.

"Oh Jeff, he's cute!" the girl squealed before launching herself at Kurt, who yelped in surprise. "Hi!" she giggled happily, a loud purr leaving her chest.

"Casey, let him breathe!" Jeff said with a laugh, grinning when Kurt looked at him with a pleading expression, that is until Casey's scent caused him to rub his nose in her short brown hair.

"What are you?" Kurt hissed, his own purr answering hers.

"Well, obviously I'm a girl. I thought we covered that already?" Casey said, standing back from the taller teen before giving him a little wink. She giggled again as Kurt's cheeks flushed to a darker shade of red.

"Casey be nice, you're the first one he's ever met." Jeff scolded lightly, wrapping his arm around Kurt's waist.

"No way!" Casey said excitedly.

"What?" Kurt asked, so confused at the moment that he didn't tell Jeff off for rubbing his nose in his styled hair.

"I'm a Were-Panther." Casey said proudly, flipping her bangs from her eyes before smiling again.

"Dude, who turned him anyways?" a taller boy asked from beside Casey.

"Blaine." Jeff said, sighing when the others looked at Kurt with a mixture of excited smiles an worried expressions.

"What's wrong with it?" Kurt asked, a little on the defensive side. If they were going to dis on Blaine then Jeff could forget about him being nice to his friends.

"Oh nothing is wrong with it!" Casey said quickly. "It's just tha-"

"Kurt."

Kurt almost jumped out of his skin when the deep voice behind him spoke. He turned around quickly, Jeff doing so as well. The blond growled up at Dave, trying to push Kurt behind when Dave gave him a dark look. He heard a loud hiss come from Casey and he had to wonder if Werewolves and Were-Panthers chased each other around like normal cat and dogs. "He-"

"What the fuck do you want?" Jeff snapped, growling when Dave tried to step closer.

"Jeff!" Kurt said in surprised, pushing his arm away from his chest.

"Kurt, I don't like him." Dave growled, his hands trembling as he began to loose his temper from the look the blond was giving him.

"Well I defiantly don't like the likes of you." Jeff snapped back, finally putting his arm down to let Kurt walk in the middle of them.

"Really guys? Stop." Kurt growled, looking up to Dave, smiling when the wolf calmed. He then turned his attention to Jeff. "He's my friend, Jeff." he said softly, giving him a pleading look while the blonds group of friends looked at him like he was crazy.

Jeff sighed, shaking his head as he ran a hand down his face. "Only you would be able to make friends with a flea bag." he mumbled, ignoring the dark growl the wolf gave. "But you are my cousin so I guess I'll just have to…get used to it." he said, trying to ignore the twitch in his eye.

Kurt gave Jeff a relieved smile before looking up at Dave once more. "Hey." he said, a little surprised when the wolf smiled at him in return.

"Well now that your attack blond is under control, can we talk?" Dave asked, sighing when the blond and the rest of the group of friends began to listen. "Um, in private?"

"Sure." Kurt said, surprised when Jeff growled and grabbed his arm. "What?" he asked, a little annoyed with the blond.

"Kurt you can't trust a werewolf, th-"

"Have you forgotten a werewolf helped save me?" Kurt interrupted quickly, sighing when a guilty look crossed Jeff's face. "Look we won't go far, you'll still be able to see me." he whispered as he patted the blonds shoulder. "I'll be right back." he said before walking away from Jeff and the little group of his friends. He took the chance to look around, thinking he might as well of been blind earlier because now he noticed quite a few girls in the mix of boys. So distracted by the other vampires and were-creatures he didn't notice the two vampires goofing around and was surprised when a large hand grabbed his wrist to pull him out of the way.

"Shit!" Dave growled, looking at his sizzling palm with narrowed eyes. "Don't tell me you're made of silver now?" the wolf said before waving his hand in the air, trying to stop the stinging.

Kurt blinked in surprise before he remembered the bracelet. "Oh Dave, I'm sorry." he said, slowly reaching up to grab the wolf's hand. His face fell as he noticed it was the same hand that had been shot with a silver bullet the week before. "Are you going to be okay?"

Dave sighed, watching as his skin slowly stopped sizzling. "Yeah, it'll be a little sore for the rest of the day though." he said, looking down when the silver glinted in the light. "Your vampire give that to you?"

Kurt looked where Dave was pointing and nodded. "Yes, but I never intended to use it on you." he said quickly, smiling when the wolf rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, okay." Dave said before pulling his backpack from his shoulder to pull out a large hardcover book. "It took me forever to find this and you should of seen the way I had to smuggle this thing out." he mumbled before placing it in Kurt's hands.

Kurt glanced down at the book, loving the worn look it sported. It seemed like it was really old and had been used often. He checked the spine for a name, frowning when he didn't find anything. He turned it back over to look at the front, his brow's furrowing when he read the elegant font.

"What is a Naturalist?"
