"Not as of yet, and its been a week." Blaine replied, smiling towards Collin when his fledgling ran up to him to whisper something in his ear. Collin pressed a kiss to one of the teen's cheek before whispering back in her ear, causing a few sweet giggles to leave her lips before she bounced off again.
"I've never had a Fledgling with that kind of control…" Daniel said, reaching up to rub his chin in thought. "Are you sure he was completely human before you turned him?"
"I'm pretty sure I would of noticed." Blaine replied with a raised brow. He glanced towards Antonio when the vampire gave a soft laugh.
"Well he's clearly something from the norm." Antonio said, pushing a long stand of dark hair behind his shoulder. "What else could explain his calm tendencies?"
"Actually when he walked in I thought I smelled something I haven't in a long time." Alexander said, a sudden grin gracing his lips.
Blaine eyed his Creator warily, not liking the look the older vampire was giving him. "And?" he pressed impatiently, sipping at the wine in his glass.
"I think I know." Collin spoke up softly.
Blaine glanced towards the strawberry blond haired vampire he had created so long ago. He had always been soft spoken and gentle towards everything he touched, including the few fledglings he had created in the past. "Oh?"
"A Naturalist." Collin said, holding back a laugh when Daniel almost chocked on his mouthful of champagne.
"Collin, that's ridiculous." Daniel said once he had cleared his throat.
Blaine sighed as Daniel put Collin's theory to death. The dark haired man had always been very smart, and had continued to learn under Blaine's tutelage throughout his years as a fledgling. Sometimes his own theories and knowledge wouldn't let him see through other's point of view. "Daniel." he said, only to be interrupted by Collin's soft voice.
"Don't be too quick to disregard it, brother." Collin said quickly, crossing his arms as he watched Daniel closely, a challenge sparkling behind his light blue eyes.
"You two will never change will you?" Antonio asked with a laugh, glancing towards Nick who also gave out a soft chuckle.
"How did you raise them together again?" Nick asked with a slight grin, taking a small sip form the soda can he held.
"Lots of patience, and they were a good fifteen years apart." Blaine reminded Nick before he turned towards his Creator who was watching his family with a warm smile. "Your theory?"
Alexander chuckled before reaching out and patting Collin's shoulder. "I agree with Collin."
Blaine blinked in surprise, stunned for a moment before he shook his head. "Alexander, a Naturalist hasn't been created in centuries."
"You know, now that I think about it…" Elizabeth began, running a few fingers through her blond curls as she trailed off. "I did notice something sweeter about his scent, but I just thought it was because Blaine hadn't claimed him."
"You haven't claimed him?" Antonio asked in surprise. "You are serious about him, aren't you?" He asked with an excited smile.
Blaine nodded towards Antonio before looking back to Alexander. "Surely you and Elizabeth are mistaken. I would of tasted it within his blood as a human." he said, watching the other's face closely.
"Blaine, this is only what I believe is true." Alexander said with a wave of his hand. "I'll have to contact the council for an official hearing." he explained, sighing when Blaine gave him a look of annoyance.
"So soon?" Blaine growled. "He's going through enough as it is, giving him a ridiculous test on top might actually do more harm than good." he said impatiently.
"You know we must, Blaine." Alexander said, standing up straighter. "If not, how will our line be recognized?"
"Is that all you care about, Alexander?" Blaine snapped angrily, not looking towards the few vampires that stepped back from them suddenly.
"Of course not! If we do not, others will try to take him from you because he is one. Do you want him stolen?" Alexander growled, the sound making the room grow silent, even the fledglings had stopped their chattering and giggling to look towards their respective Creators in fear.
Blaine sighed and ran a hand through his curls. "No." he admitted, hating the fact that he felt like a young fledgling being scolded for stating a rude and uncalled for comment. He smiled slightly when he thought back to Kurt. Too bad the fledgling had left with the others, he doubted the teen would of ever let him forget the way Alexander had talked him down.
Alexander calmed down and placed an arm around his fledgling that had come up to him to nuzzle in his side, clearly not liking the anger he had felt. He pressed his lips against the auburn curls atop of his head before looking towards Blaine once more. "You must of known his parents, did you not find anything related to a Naturalist about them?"
"No his father never…" Blaine trailed off as he thought back to Burt and his deceased wife. "His mother had already passed before I met him." He said in a quiet voice. "From the pictures I've seen she and Kurt looked so much alike…"
"Is it possible-" Alexander began before Mickey ran into the room, tears running down his cheeks.
"Mickey!" Antonio said, trying to grab his frantic fledgling as he threw himself at Blaine.
"K-Kurt and Jeff…a-a-and Jerry!" Mickey stuttered out through his sobs, gasping when Blaine grabbed his shoulders roughly.
"Where are they?" Blaine growled, staring straight into Mickey's dark brown eyes.
"O-Outside, someone let them out!" he said, closing his eyes tightly as Blaine let go of him. He felt Antonio's arms around him and calmed slightly, jumping when all the vampires in the room began to give orders at once.
"Turn on the fence!"
"Lock down the school!"
Mickey looked around for Blaine, Elizabeth and Nick when he noticed their voices hadn't been apart of the confusing mix. They were all gone along with Alexander. He whimpered when he was picked up off his feet and brought back to the group of fledglings that were sitting on cushions upon the floor like they had been earlier. His creator sat him upon a pillow next to one of his cousins before turning from him. "A-Antonio, I didn't mean to loose them! Jer-"
"Hush, Mickey." Antonio growled, before turning to speak with Collin.
"But Jere-"
"Mickey! You are enough trouble as it is, do not add on to it." Antonio snapped, looking up when Elizabeth walked back into the room, her face pale and drawn as she pulled a whimpering Jerry behind her.
"He got caught by the fence." Elizabeth said in a relieved voice, gently pushing Jerry down to lay on a couch. She ripped his shirt off to examine the dark burn stretched across his stomach. "Jeff and Kurt managed to jump the fence." she said softly, glancing towards the rest of her nephews who were watching her closely. "Blaine, Nick, and Alexander are looking for them, but I think it's going to rain." she whispered before returning back to Jerry when he let out a little moan of pain.
"I will watch the fledglings and keep the rest of the Vampires attending the party reassured and calm." Collin stated, nodding to his brothers who left quickly along with the other vampires in the room besides Elizabeth.
"Lizzy…" Jerry whispered, wincing as he felt the older vampire run her finger across the burn on his stomach. He sighed as he felt the familiar tingle of his skin healing itself, knowing that Elizabeth must of pricked her fingers to let the blood heal it. "Jeff and Kurt…"
"Its okay Jerry, be quiet now, you're weak." Elizabeth whispered back, pressing a few kisses against the others lips. "Jeff and Blaine are looking for them, I'm sure they will be fine, Hunters are banned from this city." she reassured her fledgling, praying silently that no one caused her family harm. She doubted Blaine could handle another one his fledglings being killed.
Kurt couldn't believe all the things he was seeing! So many new colors and lights swirled around him as he ran through the city's streets. He giggled as he pushed through a group of human women, making them shriek out in terror since they couldn't really see him with how fast he was going.
Something bright and colorful caught his eye and he stopped, pressing his face against the glass of the display window. He grinned happily as he looked at all the different candies set up on the shelves. A thought of Jeff came to his mind, causing him to sober slightly. Jeff…his party was tonight. What was he doing out in the streets? The smell of something fresh and clean filtered through his nose and he sighed happily, looking up at the sky as the wind began to pick up. The blond resurfaced again and he blinked, looking down to his shoes as he tried to clear his head. How long had he been wherever he was? Where was Jeff….and Jerry? Blaine?
Blaine! He looked around again, getting dizzy as more colors came into focus. He was away from Blaine. He was alone and he didn't know how to get back to Dalton! What was he going to do? He had no phone thanks to Jeremiah, and he couldn't concentrate long enough to find an actual payphone. He whimpered loudly, causing several humans to give him strange looks as they passed him. He tried walking up to a couple but they quickly walked away, leaving Kurt alone on the sidewalk once again. Great. He was alone, lost, and defiantly in so much trouble at the moment. He took a deep breath, crying out in surprise when a loud boom of thunder sounded. Doing the first thing instinct told him to, he ran.
He whined when he finally stopped at a brick wall, turning around. "Did I really just run myself into an alley?" he hissed, looking around the long stretch of space that led out to the sidewalk he had been walking on earlier. It was dirty with trash bags and other garbage littering the ground. It made him wonder how he had ran through without tripping over anything and landing flat on his face. "What do I do?" he whispered, blinking back the frustrated tears that threatened to fall. Jingling of chains and scuffing of heavy boots caused him to look up quickly, fear settling in the pit of his stomach as he saw two tall figures clad in trench coats walking towards him. Something shiny glinted under the moonlight but he didn't have time to focus on it when they began to talk.
"What do we have here?" a rough voice asked, causing Kurt to swallow nervously.
"Looks like a newborn to me, Frank." another gruff voice said. "Vamps sure are getting lazy about letting their new pets out."
Kurt glared. "I'm not a pet!" he growled, the fear leaving him to be replaced with anger. He crouched low to the ground getting ready to pounce as a loud growl left his throat again. If they were going to call him names to his face he was allowed to tear a hole in theirs, or so he reasoned at the moment. He uncurled quickly, but right when he did something loud sounded against the walls of the alley, causing him to cry out and topple backwards into the wall behind him as he grabbed his aching head. He was about to try and move again when something snapped in the background, causing him to pause.
Pain suddenly exploded in his right shoulder, causing him to scream out in agony. He looked down and whimpered loudly when he noticed a long metal pole had been shot into his shoulder, going all the way through to embed into the brick wall behind him. He sobbed as he stood there, trying to think around the pain and the blood gushing from the deep hole. He wanted to go home. He wanted to be back at the party. He wanted Blaine. He wanted the strong arms of the vampire wrapped around him, telling him that everything would be okay, that all he needed to do was to be calm and think the situation out. But…Blaine wasn't here, and that beautiful voice that calmed him and reassured him from his memories couldn't be heard over the loud laughing of the hunters as they walked closer. He let out another wail of desperation as he tried to pull out the pole, finding himself too weak to pull it from the brick wall behind him.
"This one is kind of pretty, Frank." the shorter male said as he placed the end of a strange looking device under Kurt's chin, lifting it up so they could look at his tear streaked face.
Kurt hissed in return, crying out when his shoulder shifted against the pole. He noticed the taller male running his fingers across his chest then down his sides, but it was hard to concentrate as he felt his shoulder throbbing in pain and his strength dwindling. "Don't touch me!" he growled, whining when the humans laughed at his raspy voice.
"Ohh, I like them feisty, think we should have a little fun with this one before we off him?" the taller one asked.
Kurt looked up at them, trying to see through his blurry vision. Right when he was about to gain focus on their faces he heard a loud growl. A strong smell of something he had never smelled before actually made itself known over the sweet smell of his own blood as it gushed down his chest and side. It wasn't a bad smell but not exactly comforting, not human like the hunters either. "Please." he begged whatever was emitting the low growl. He wasn't sure if his plea would be answered but something caused another deep growl to sound throughout the alley.
"Oh shi-!" the shorter man cried out before a dark brown blur jumped up and knocked him down to the ground.
Kurt looked down as more growling and yelling bounced off the brick walls. Was that a…dog? He watched as the large blur ripped out the humans throat, silencing a pair of lungs.
"What the fuck are pups doing away from their den?" the taller of the two hunters yelled out, loading a long barreled gun as he slowly backed up against the side wall of the alley.
Kurt blinked slowly as he tried to process the humans words. So it was a dog…? He swallowed nervously when the dog began to growl again, stepping closer to the man. Was it stupid, the man had a gun! "R-Run!" he coughed out, not sure why he thought a dog would understand him in the first place.
"Shut up Hummel, I know what I'm doing!"
Did that dog just talk to him? And why did the voice sound so familiar? Kurt watched as the dog moved even closer to the man who was now pointing the gun towards him.
"I swear if you actually manage to die before I can say sorry…"
Kurt suddenly knew who that voice belonged to, but the last time he had checked he had still been a human! The dog spoke again, only confirming his thoughts. He glanced towards the human again as he heard the gun click. "Run Karofsky!" he cried out, sobbing more as he tore his shoulder more as he tried to move away from the wall. The dog seemed to loose its focus to glance at him.
"How in the hell did you know it was me?"
The gun shot then, aimed for the dog's chest. Kurt gasped as he watched the wolf jump up high, a loud whine leaving it when the bullet lodged itself into one of his front paws. The dog limped towards Kurt, standing in front of him, another loud growl leaving him even as his paw sizzled and bled.
"Stupid fucking werewolves!" The man cried out as he loaded another silver bullet into the gun.
"Werewolf?" Kurt croaked in surprise, glancing down at the furry creature. This was how small werewolves were? They looked the size of normal wolves though…well that was kind of disappointing.
"Dustin is going to kill me if I survive this when he finds out I left the den…"
Kurt bit his bottom lip as he thought. "Dave, you have to run.." he whispered, his brows furrowing when the wolf lifted his head to the sky. Suddenly a loud and beautiful howl filled the air, causing Kurt to still in his shaking for a moment. He had never heard something like it before, and the fact that such a loud sound could come from the wolf amazed him.
"You really think your Master can get to you in time, you stupid wolf?" the man said with a dark laugh, raising the gun to point it at the wolfs chest once more.
"Perhaps not, but I'm here now."
"Blaine!" Kurt whispered, whimpering when his head swirled slightly.
A loud sickening crack was heard as Blaine snapped the hunters neck, letting the limp body fall to the ground. "Kurt!" Blaine called out, appearing in front of the wolf and his fledgling a mere second later. The wolf growled warningly, causing a loud hiss to come from the older vampire. "Move."
"It's okay, t-this is my Creator." Kurt said through a hurried breath. He watched as the wolf limped away, allowing Blaine to step up to Kurt.
"Oh Kurt." Blaine said softly, looking at the pole lodged into his fledglings shoulder. He watched as Kurt shuddered when the thunder sounded above. "Oh baby, shh its okay, I'm here now." He said, pressing a kiss against the others forehead.
"It hurts Blaine." Kurt whimpered, glancing down at his shoulder as if the vampire hadn't already seen it.
"I know." Blaine whispered, wrapping his hand around the thick metal pole. "I have to pull it out." he said, placing a hand on the fledglings other shoulder to hold it against the wall. "It'll hurt."
"Just do it." Kurt pleaded, squeezing his eyes shut tightly as he felt Blaine press another kiss to his temple.
Blaine closed his own eyes as he quickly pulled the pole from Kurt's shoulder, catching the thin teen once he screamed out and slid down the wall in pain. "Kurt." he whispered when the fledgling continued to sob, burying his face in his neck as he held him. "I thought I had lost you." he mumbled quietly, looking towards the young wolf who stared up at them.
Kurt gasped as he felt his shoulder tingle and burn. "W-What is it doing?" he whimpered, managing to hold up his head. He was answered with Blaine's mouth pressing against his and a bloody tongue pushing itself between his lips. He moaned as the taste of blood exploded in his mouth. He sucked as hard and as quick as he could against the vampires tongue, causing the other to moan softly in his mouth. After a few moments Blaine pulled away, a loud whimper leaving Kurt.
Blaine pushed Kurt's head to rest against his shoulder again before he tore the soft material of Kurt's sweater from his shoulder to make sure the large wound was healing correctly. He quickly pulled off the jacket he was wearing after he had watched the hole heal and placed it over Kurt to keep him warm as the rain began to fall around them. Slowly he picked up his fledgling, smiling sadly when Kurt didn't even complain about being carried. He glanced to the wolf, knowing he couldn't leave it here when it had clearly helped Kurt. "Where is your master?" he asked, a bit surprised when the wolf tilted his head in return instead of whimpering or licking his paw. Another loud growl was heard from behind him and he sighed, stepping away from the trembling wolf to turn towards the much larger one that towered over him.
"Blaine!" Alexander called out, jumping from the roof to land beside the vampire in the alley. He looked at Kurt and sighed in relief before glancing at the adult wolf. Something about the bright green eyes surprised him. "Dustin?" he asked, grinning when the wolf sniffed in return before easily jumping over the pair to get to the much smaller wolf. "Well would you look at that." Alexander said, crossing his arms over his chest. "Looks like Dustin and his pack has saved yet another fledgling from my family." he looked towards Blaine who was glaring at him. "Remember when he saved you-"
"That's enough Alexander." Blaine snapped, ignoring the happy laugh that left the other vampire. He turned towards his Creator, pressing kisses along Kurt's neck as the fledgling moaned softly. "Did Nick find Jeff?" He asked hopefully, feeling his fledgling stiffen slightly when it thundered once again.
"Yes, I believe he found him in a laundry mat where he was laying on top of the dryers. Apparently a small group of vampires pulled him from the streets and brought him there so they could call the police to get him help." Alexander began, reaching over to pat Kurt's head when the fledgling whimpered from the wind that managed to blow through the alleyway. "Nick got to him first though, and Elizabeth found Jerry, everyone is fine." he reassured.
Kurt lifted his head to rest his chin against Blaine's shoulder. He still felt weak and sore but at least his vision was clearer and the pain had stopped. The newer wolf was much bigger than the smaller one. It seemed almost as tall as a minivan, but perhaps his imagination was just overeating. The smaller wolf instantly rolled over on its back to show it's belly, causing Kurt to smile slightly when the other wolf slowly ran its nose across it. A long tongue lapped at the injured paw before it licked the other's muzzle clean of the dried blood.
"What were you thinking running off like that?"
Kurt blinked at the deeper voice that spoke out. He waited for the other two vampires to turn towards them but they only continued to talk to each other as the rain fell around them. Frowning he concentrated on the wolves again.
"I couldn't let him die, Dustin."
"If Blaine hadn't gotten here when he did, you both would have been dead, so what good would your effort have been then?"
"I…I'm sorry."
"David, you must use your head not those stupid mortal feelings you still act upon. I will not loose you because of such foolishness."
Kurt watched as the smaller wolf rolled back on its belly, allowing the other wolf to pick him up by the scruff his neck with its teeth. carrying him towards the two vampires. Kurt looked up as David looked down at him, his ears flattened against his skull, his tail between his legs.
"Ah, Dustin, my old friend." Alexander said with a smile. "You are coming back with us, yes?"
Blaine sighed and shook his head before looking up to Dustin. "Yes, I do believe I owe you my proper thanks." he said, shifting Kurt is his arms slightly.
"Of course I am you fool."
Kurt blinked, waiting for Blaine's reaction to the wolf's words, but all Blaine did was sigh while Alexander chuckled. "I suppose we will take the growl as a yes." Alexander said cheerfully, before jumping up to the roof again. Kurt watched the wolf follow, still carrying Dave. Did they not hear what the wolf just said? He didn't think the vampires would of taken the wolf's words that easily… He felt Blaine's arms tighten around him, pulling him from his thoughts.
"Close your eyes and concentrate on breathing." Blaine whispered, kissing the tip of his nose. "If you don't, you'll throw up, and I don't think you can handle loosing much more blood, I'm surprised you didn't pass out earlier." he said softly, waiting until Kurt had closed his eyes before jumping up to the roof with the others.
Kurt gasped, feeling his stomach drop as Blaine jumped up in the air. He didn't like this, it was almost as bad as the elevators! He didn't open his eyes when Blaine landed, trying to control his breathing like he had been told to do. He heard a soft hum from Blaine and relaxed slightly as Blaine pulled the coat over his head and face to shield him from the cold rain pelting against them as the older vampire ran through the night.
