Kurt was scared. He was terrified actually. His hands were shaking and his heart beating a mile a minute. He had just been kidnapped. Forcibly taken off the streets, and now stuck in a car with some kind of lunatic, who was driving like he had a death wish. 

And Blaine, oh god Blaine. Blaine had to be even more afraid and he was hurt. The cold fear gripped Kurt's heart, but Kurt pushed it aside, as he realized he was angry. He was really angry. How dare this man take him. How dare he hurt Blaine. 

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Kurt spat at the man, ignoring the pounding of his heart.

"Im a friend." The man said as he took another sharp turn to avoid a busier street.

Kurt let out a short incredulous laugh. "Youre delusional." 

The man glanced his way before turning back to the road. "No. You just dont understand. You are in great danger. Im trying to protect you."

"You hurt Blaine!" Kurt cried, his voice breaking a little, as the fear and worry started overtaking his anger again. 

The mans face softened a little. "I didnt mean too. I just needed him not to stop me. I dont want him hurt, but my first priority is to keep you alive, keep you away from danger."

Kurt shook his head and clenched his fist. "The only danger I can see right now comes from you." 

"Well, that may how it seems." The man said casually, his frantic driving was slowing down a little. "But its the danger you cant see that should worry you."

"Who are you?" Kurt asked again. "And who do you think I am? Because I think you have the wrong person."

The man pulled the truck to a stop in front of a dark, sketchy looking motel. "I know who you are Kurt Hummel. Born May 27, 1993. Died December 8, 2013. Came back November  2, 2019. I know all about you."

Kurt was shocked silent for a moment, his mouth feeling a little dry. The man just sat there, watching Kurt, and letting his words sink in. 

"You dont know me if you think you can "keep me safe" Kurt finally spoke up, using his fingers to make quotation marks in the air, "While hurting the man I love." 

The man sighed and shook his head. "He isnt after Blaine."

"What? Who?" Kurt was beginning to feel a little desperate. "What are you talking about?" Kurt bit his lip, determined to tell himself that he wasnt going to cry. "And you still havent told me who you are." 

"I get that I may not have gone about this in the best way." The man said a little sheepishly. "But I am here to help you. My name is Levi Jackson." He stuck his hand out. "Im a friend of Camilles." 

Kurt lifted his eyebrows and looked down at the mans hand. "Why should I believe anything you say?" Kurt asked, not taking the mans offered hand. 

The man withdrew his hand, shaking his head again, before opening his door and getting out of the car. He walked around to Kurts side of the truck and stood outside of the door. 

"Dont try to run when I open this door." He said through the glass window. "Ill just have to stop you."

Kurt crossed his arms in front of his chest stubbornly, and worked to make sure his voice came out firm, and not afraid. "Oh yeah, that sounds very friendly."

Then man sighed as if he was very tired. "Ill do what I have to do to insure your safety. I dont care how friendly it sounds." He put his hand on the handle. "Dont. Run."  

The man waited until he got a short nod from Kurt and then opened the door. Kurt didnt waste a moment. He practically toppled out of the truck in his haste, and spun out of the mans reach when he grabbed for him, and now that Kurt was ready for him, he wasnt hard to dodge. He might be stronger than Kurt, but Kurt was faster.

He dashed down the street, heart beating in his chest, as he heard the mans feet pounding behind him. 

He turned a corner, thinking he was making headway, when he ran smack dab into someone. Kurt fell to the ground with a thud, knocking the breath out of him. He started to get up, when whomever he just ran into, extended a hand to help him. 

Kurt took the hand, and got to his feet ready to run again, when he actually looked at the person he ran into. 

"Hey Kurt." Camille smiled and didnt seem surprised to see him. 

Kurt blinked a few times in disbelief and then turned around as he heard the man come around the corner. 

"We have to go." Kurt said quickly, grabbing Camilles hand. "We have to run." 

Kurt started forward, but Camille remained planted where she was. She turned to look at the man who had stopped in his tracks. 

"What is going on Levi?" She asked and Kurts mind couldnt keep up with what was happening. 

"You know him!" Kurt shouted. "He... this guy just kidnapped me. He threw Blaine against a wall!" 

Camille looked back and forth between Kurt and the man, Levi. Apparently hed been telling the truth about his name. 

"What the crap?!” Camille said leveling her gaze at Levi angrily. 

"I didnt mean to hurt him." The man said looking contrite. "The kid was just all over me and I had to get Kurt to a safe-house. You told me to look out for him." 

"I told you to look out for him! Not kidnap him or hurt any of my friends!" Camilles cheeks were red and she yelled at Levi. 

"Hes in New York." The man said calmly, not shaken at all by Kurt or Camilles anger. "He is in New York." 

Kurt watched Camilles face pale a little. "Well fuck." She said in a small voice. 

Kurt had never heard her swear before, so he knew that whatever was going on was a big deal, but he was having trouble calming his pulse and listening, as the most important thing to him right now was Blaine. He fought his desire to run and pulled out his phone to call him.

“Where are we?”

“You can't tell anyone about this place.” Levi said gruffly. 

"Were at a safe-house. Blaine can meet us here." She said as she turned to look at Levi. “Blaine can be trusted.”

"Why should I even stay here?" Kurt asked, his anger not fading so easily. 

"This isnt how I would have done all of this, but I need you to trust me. Please. Have Blaine met us here, and Ill explain what I can. Please?" 

Kurt looked at Camille, really looked at her for a moment. She had dark circles under her eyes, and didnt appear to be wearing any make-up, where she usually had wing-tipped eyelids and bright lipstick. Her regularly pristine appearance looked rumpled. She was wearing jeans and a simple black t-shirt, her bobbed hair was pulled back in a haphazard ponytail, and she just seemed bone weary and sad. 

Kurt let out a long breath. "Fine." Kurt agreed. "But I want him to stay away from me." Kurt said, pointing a finger to Levi. 

Levi held up his hands in surrender. "I can do that." 

Kurt turned away, dialing Blaine's number with shaky fingers, and Blaine answered after half a ring.  

"Kurt?" Blaines voice sounded breathless and a little reedy. 

"Blaine, Im okay." Kurt said quickly. 

"Kurt." Blaine breathed, and sounded like either he might cry, or maybe that he already was. “What's happening? Where are you?”

Kurt did his best to calm Blaine down and ascertain that he was okay, then he turned to Camille, and repeated the address she gave him to Blaine, who said hed been there as quickly as possible. 

Kurt hung up promising he was okay, and followed Camille back to the dingy little motel. She unlocked one of the rooms, and lead both Kurt, and Levi in. Levi quickly went to the opposite side of the depressing little room to give Kurt his space. 

"Youre not staying here are you?" Kurt asked as he looked around at the discolored carpet and threadbare bed covers. There were water stains on the walls and the light over the sink flickered. 

Camille sighed. "Temporarily. I just got to the city this morning. Levis been here a few weeks."

"Ive been keeping an eye on you." He said from the corner, where he leaned up again the wall, with his arms crossed over his broad chest.

"Thats a comfort." Kurt said dryly, before ignoring him entirely, and turning to Camille. "You want to tell me whats going on? Im giving you a lot of slack here."

"I know, I know." Camille said tiredly and sat on the edge of the bed. "Should we wait for Blaine? So I dont have to repeat things?"

Kurt nodded, and Camille flopped back on a bed, Kurt wasnt even sure he wanted to be in the same room with. "How have you been?" She asked conversationally. "Anything... odd going on with you?"

Kurt let out a sound of frustration and rubbed his hand down his face. "Is this one of those times you ask me a question you already know the answer to?" 

Camille leaned back on her elbows, sitting up enough to look at Kurt. "No. But Im guessing from your reaction, that something is going on." 

Kurt looked around the room until his eyes landed on a wooded chair that looked like it might not be as bacteria ridden as everything else in the room. He sat down, leaning forward with his elbow on his knees, glancing at Levi real quick. 

"Hes fine." Camille said. "An idiot some times." She said, looking at Levi pointedly. "But you can trust him." 

Levi just remained leaning against the wall scratching at his grayed beard a little. 

"Ive been having dreams." Kurt said actually a little relieved to finally talk to Camille about it. 

"Okay." Camille said. "And... these dreams are special? Do they happen to, I dont know, come true?" 

"You did know the answer before you asked."

"I didnt Kurt, but as soon as you mentioned dreams, it seemed kind of obvious."

"Obvious? You arent surprised by the fact that my dreams are actually premonitions of people dying?"

Levis mouth fell open a little and Camilles eyes grew round. "Okay, I didnt know that. Thats.... awful Kurt. I am so sorry." 

Just then, there was a loud banging on the door that made everyone in the room jump. Camille looked at Levi, who went to the door, and looked through the peephole before opening it.

Blaine came barreling into the room, eyes wide, and face pale. There was a line of drying blood on the side of his face, and Kurt immediately sprang out of his chair. 

"Blaine!" He ran too him and Blaine caught him in his arms. 

He could feel Blaines whole body trembling as he clung to Kurt. Blaines fingers were splayed out across his back, fingertips gripping him tightly, pressing him closer to him. 

"Are you okay?" Blaine choked out. 

“Fine. I'm fine. Not hurt. Perfectly fine.” He leaned his head back to look Blaine in the face. Blaine didn't loosen his hold on him at all, and kept looking from Kurt's face, over to Levi who had returned to the corner. 

"Hes... with Camille." Kurt said to explain Levis presence.

"Hi Blaine." Camille said meekly from where she was sitting on the bed, giving him a little wave. "Sorry about... gosh, sorry about everything." 

Blaine kissed Kurt's temple, and held him there, his eyes fluttering closed for a moment, before slowly releasing him, keeping a hand protectively on his waist. 

"Want to explain what the hell is going on here?" Blaine said, voice low and seething, almost hissing through his teeth. Kurt wasnt sure hed ever seen Blaine so angry. "You just kidnapped my boyfriend." 

"I..." Camilles face was blank, and her eyes looked wet, like she might cry.

"Blaine." Kurt said softly, placing a hand on his flushed cheek to make him look at him. "Its okay. Camille didnt know what Levi was doing, and... Im not hurt or anything." Kurts fingers trailed up to Blaines temple, where it seemed the blood had come from, and Blaine winced at the touch. "Sit down and let me look at your head, okay?" 

Blaines let out a long breath, trying to get his breathing under control, and then did as Kurt asked, sitting down on the chair Kurt had vacated. 

"I have a first-aid kit!" Camille said, hopping off the bed, and hurrying to her suitcase. She grabbed it and handed it to Kurt. Kurt gave her a smile, hating to see her so frantic and upset. 

Kurt started cleaning Blaines wound which, to his relief, didnt seem very major, and had already stopped bleeding. He kept running his finger up and down the column of Blaine's neck, trying to calm him, and calming himself in the process. 

"Explain." Blaine said, looking back and forth between Camille, and Levi. 

Camille sat back down and nodded. "A few months ago I had a vision. In it I saw someone. I couldn't see his face or a clear picture of him, but he was... well he was tracking someone, hunting really, a friend of mine."

"Hunting a friend of yours?" Kurt asked as he dabbed at Blaines temple, not liking the sound of that at all.

"This man finds people. People like you Kurt, people like me. Those who have come back from the dead. He tracks us down."

Well, that confirmed Kurt and Blaine's suspicions about Camille, and the worry he had that someone was after them."Tracks them down and does what?" Kurt asked his throat feeling dry. He was pretty sure of the answer.  

"He kills them." Camille said quietly looking down at her lap.

Kurt closed his eyes and took a deep breath. 

Blaine tensed under Kurt's touch, his breath speeding up a little. 

"Are you telling me, that there is someone out here who likes to hunt, and kill people like Kurt." Blaines voice was steady and low, he didn't sound as fiercely angry anymore, but now he sounded almost dangerous. "And you never told us about him?" 

Kurt smeared some anti-biotic on Blaine's wound, and cupped his neck with his other hand, trying to steady him. Though, he didn't know how much good it would do, when his own stomach was clenching in fear. 

"I didn't think he come after Kurt. I still don't think he will. There is no reason for him to even know about Kurt.”  Camille said sounding apologetic. "There were things I didnt tell you, because I hoped you two could just lead a normal life.

"I didnt know Kurt was going to have a gift. I mean, I knew it was a possibility, but I hoped...  hoped you wouldnt be like me."

Kurt finished taping a bandage to Blaines head, and then turned to face Camille. "Gift?"

"You see the future in your dreams. A lot of people who come back get some kind of ability. I have visions, I can sense ghost, and sometimes speak with them." She nodded to Levi. "Levi here is way stronger than he was when he was alive the first time. And he has an amazing ability to find and sense people. Gifts are rarely the same person to person, but yeah... apparently you have a gift too."

Kurt felt oddly relieved to know he wasnt alone, and liked that Camille called it was a gift, even though Kurt had a hard time seeing it as anything but a curse. Mostly though, all this new information was just giving him a headache. 

He grabbed Blaine's hand, and moved over to sit next to Camille, while Blaine sat on his other side, rubbing his thumb back and forth over Kurt's hand. "Ive... Ive been able to save a few people.” Kurt told Camille. “ I saw how they are going to die and I was able to stop it."

"Kurt, thats amazing." Camille said with a genuine smile. "Im so proud of you, and it will get easier, youll be able to control the dreams, and know where people are. It will all come, it just takes time. Plus, you might find there are other things you can do too. A lot of people have more than one gift. It can be an amazing thing!" Camilles voice grew faster and more excited as she spoke. 

Kurt glanced over at Blaine who was smiling at him. He seemed much more in control of himself as he bumped his forehead against Kurt's.  "See Kurt. Youre a miracle not a freak." 

"Or were all miraculous freaks." Levi said from his corner. "Sorry." He added when he saw the looks he was given. 

"I sent Levi on a head to watch out for you just in case." Camille said. "I couldn't come right away myself. I had other people I needed to find and warn. There is a whole community of us that this man, whoever he is, seems to be after. Since I never really included you, I assume he doesn't know about you Kurt."

Kurt nodded, still trying to take it all in, he wasn't sure if he was angry not to be included, it would have been so comforting to know he wasn't alone, but he was also grateful that Camille was trying to protect him. 

"What happened to your friend, the one being hunted in your dream?" Kurt asked, a little worried about the answer. 

"I could get in touch with him in time.” Camille said slowly. “He... died. Killed in a house fire."

"Oh god." Blaine said. "Was he on your list, the one you sent Cooper? We read about him.” 

"Yes.” Camille answered in a small voice. “I thought if something happened to me you should know some other people you could trust. I wrote a letter explaining the list, and was going to send it separately, but..." She sighed, "Things havent been going well."

"Weve lost five people, didnt even have the chance to warn them." Levi said. "Everyone else is going into hiding."

Kurt felt a cold shiver go down his spine. Five people had been murdered. 

Camille started trembling a little and wiped her eyes. All these people had been friends of hers.  

Kurt wrapped an arm around her shoulders, and was trying to think of something comforting to say, when Blaine stood from the bed, and knelt in front of her. "Camille, I am so sorry about your friends. And thank you for looking out for Kurt. Even if Levis methods are a little..." He glanced at the large man in the corner. "Abrupt.”He sighed. “What happened isn't your fault.” He reached a hand up and swiped a tear from her face. 

“That's what I've been trying to tell her.” Levi said. “The only reason any of us know what's going on and have gone into hiding is because of her.” 

Camille shrugged and tried to smile. “Right now we just need to find out who this man is and stop him. I'll worry about the rest later.” 

"I still don't understand who this man is? Why in the world would he be killing people like us?” Kurt asked, as Blaine planted a peck on Camille's head, and then went back to his sit by Kurt's side. 

Camille sighed and rubbed her head, “A a few decades ago, there was this man, Joshua Radley. He was a preacher, but he went a little crazy. He thinks anything… supernatural is evil. He found out about ghost and about people who came back. He thought they were abominations. He killed a bunch of innocent people back in the 90s.”

“He was arrested, though he kept dabbling with the Supernatural, all the way up to his death a few months ago. We think that he… I don't know, somehow called someone back from the dead? Leaving them behind to finish what he started.”

There was a beat of silence, as everyone in the room took that in, before Blaine spoke. 

“What the hell.” Blaine muttered.

“So, someone was brought back, to kill people who came back?” Kurt asked in confusion.

“One of those ‘the end justifies the means' things.” Camille answered

“He isn't like us though.” Levi said looking grim. “He didn't come back, because he was meant to be here, like we were. I personally think he needs to kill to keep himself here.” 

Kurt felt a little sick, he turned to look at Blaine, who must have felt the same way, because he was a little green.  

“And hes in New York.” Kurt stated, looking back and forth between Camille, and Levi for confirmation. 

"What?" Blaine bounced to his feet. “This killer is in New York.?"

"I dont think hes here for Kurt.” Camille said. “I havent had any visions about it. I think he is after another one of us, her name's Cindy." 

"We read about her too." Kurt said. "She disappeared; her boyfriend filed a mission persons report."

Camille nodded, "She didn't disappear, she went into hiding. It's better for Cindy, and her boyfriend, that he doesnt know where she is. When things calm down, Im sure shell find him again."

"God. “Blaine said, falling back down to the bed, hanging his head in his hands. “This is too much.”  

“You two have a decision to make.” Levi said. “You can stay here or go on the run. We can help you if you want to leave.”

Kurt looked at Blaine's defeated posture, and back to Camille's red rimmed eyes. "Well great." He said, feeling lost.
