Kurt sat on the hard cement sidewalk, back leaning against the shabby old newsstand. His knees folded to his chest and his arms hugging them as he shivered from head to toe. Tears stained his cheeks and he felt like he was falling, he wanted to. He wanted the earth to just swallow him up and take him away from the pain coursing through him. 

He his heart had shattered, it was as if he was sitting among its sharp splinters scattered over the ground where he just seen the ghost of the man who was the love of his life. 

He doesnt know how long hed been sitting there, or how long he would have stayed if he wasnt snapped out of his reverie by someone kneeling down near him. 

"Hey. Hey dude." A voice called. 

Kurt blinked his blurry eyes and looked up. A young man probably around his age was squatting in front of him. He wore a white t shirt with some unreadable graphic on it and a dark hoodie that didnt look heavy enough for the cold of late November. 

"You drunk?" He asked looking at Kurt. 

Kurt didnt answer. His eyes fell on the tattoos running up the mans neck, wondering idly why someone would get tattoos there. 

"Hey dude, you hurt?" 

Kurt looked at the mans eyes, he actually seemed concerned. 

"Listen man, you gotta go. This isnt the place someone like you wants to be."

"I..." Kurt started to speak, but his throat was raw from his tears. "My... Hes... Blaine..." Kurt croaked out, knowing he wasnt making any sense.

"You have a friend or something around here? Have an address? I could help you find it." He mans head snapped to the side as he heard a siren go down a street nearby. 

"Seriously dude. You need to get up." He stood and held out a hand for Kurt who just stared at it for a long moment before taking it and standing. His legs still felt wobbly and he had to lean up against the newsstand. 

"He killed him." Kurt said voice so quite he was surprised the man heard him. 

"You need the police? Because then Im out man." 

"No. I just..." He shook his head, trying to clear it. He didnt understand. Blaine couldnt really be gone. Not after everything. Not after all theyd been through to get to this place. It couldnt end this way.

And why? Why if Kurt was having dreams about death and saving people, why couldnt he have saved Blaine?

The despair that had fallen over him made him feel like sinking back to the ground. Blaine was innocent, Sebastian should have come after him, Blaine should have been safe. 

The grief sitting cold in his stomach started boil into something else, something that felt a lot like anger. Blaine... Blaine had mentioned a warehouse. Oh god. What if it was the warehouse from Kurts dreams? What if he had dreamt of Blaines death? No. Kurt bit back a sob. He couldnt focus on that right now. 

"A warehouse." Kurt said to the man. 

"Huh?" He looked around, shifted from one foot to another, like he was nervous to stay in one place so long.  

"Is there some kind of warehouse around here?"

The guy looked confused for a moment and then his face cleared. "Yeah, yeah theres an old abandoned one a couple blocks down from here." He said pointing. 

"Thanks." Kurt said and turned on his heel and started striding in the direction the man pointed. 

"Hey!" He called out after him. "Be careful man!" 

Kurt turned to see him running off in the opposite direction. 

Kurt started running too, fear and grief and white hot anger pushing him forward. His feet pounding on the ground, his chest felting tight, he knew what he had to do. 

Sebastian had to be stopped and Kurt was going to stop him. 

He reached the warehouse the young man had told him about and he stood staring at it for a moment, panting and hardly thinking at all. He couldnt think, if he let himself think he'd crumple to the ground again and maybe never get up. 

He moved forward walking around the building tugging on doors searching for a way in. Finally he found a broken window; he stacked some boxes and crawled through, hopping down into the building, landing on his feet

He was in a dark empty room. He held out the phone... Blaines phone, he closed his eyes for a minute as the world seemed to sway, he had to push his grief to the back of his mind. He had to finish this. 

He continued on, the phone his only light. He moved forward leaving the room and walking down a hallway. He knew this place; hed seen it before. It was the warehouse from his dream.

He has to stop and press a hand against the wall for a moment to steady himself. He heart clenched with cold dread.

Is there where Blaine... died? Was Blaine the man who was killed in his dreams? Kurt blanched, would he find him lying on the ground from where hed fallen? 

The cold fear and grief deep in his stomach started churning, it grew in strength until Kurt felt the piercing fire of rage flowing through him again. He had to focus in the anger not the misery. Sebastian. He would never hurt anyone again. Kurt would find him and he would stop him, not matter what it took.

Kurt continued down the hallway until it led to a stairwell, he went up the stairs and then turned the corner. He stopped suddenly though, his heart pounding so hard it rang in his hears. he heard a sound behind him.

Kurt spun around and stood face to face with the last person he had ever wanted to see again.

All the fire inside of him went out, he was frozen in place.  

Sebastian smiled slyly, showing a row of perfect teeth. His eyes were narrowed and hooded and stared straight at Kurt with so much malice and contempt that Kurt had to back up a step. 

"Kurt." He sneered. "How good it is too see you again."

Now that Kurt was face to face with his worst nightmare, he had no idea what his plan was. 

"Wheres Blaine?" Kurt asked, surprised by the strength of his own voice. He wouldnt just leave Blaine here even if there was nothing he could do for him now. 

"Oh Blaine please." Sebastian said rolling his eyes and talking a step towards Kurt. Kurt backed away. "We havent seen each other in years, why would we want to talk about him?"

He continued to move closer to Kurt as Kurt continued to back away. "Besides, didnt you see him already?" Sebastian asked in mock concern. "Didnt his spirit find you?"

Kurt took in a sharp breath, his body shuttering at the thought of what had happened here in this warehouse, of what had happened to the man he loved. "What did you do to him?" Kurt asked his voice cracking. 

Sebastian reached out to touch Kurt cheek; Kurt let out a cry and slapped his hand away. "You dont touch me. You never get to touch me again." 

"Ive missed you."

"You killed me."

Sebastian smiled. "Yeah, I did. And yet here you are, still cheating on me with someone else. At least I was able to take care of him this time. Now its just us."

Kurt felt like he was going to be sick. This had been a bad idea he should never have come here. He couldnt do this. His stomach churned with grief and anger, Sebastian had taken everything from him. He'd taken Blaine. But he wouldnt let him get into his head the way he used to. Kurt was stronger now. 

"There is no us." Kurt said his voice quite but strong. He started glancing around for a way out. All his thoughts of revenge and anger were dissipating. He just wanted to get away from Sebastian. He needed to find a way out before his grief overwhelmed him. 

"Oh but there could be an us." Sebastian said and reached out for Kurt again. He was cut off though by a shout behind them. 

"Get the hell away from him! " 

Sebastian turned and let out a sort breath of frustration. 

Kurt looked behind Sebastians shoulder, his body wavered and his knees felt like jelly, but now it was out of relief not fear or grief. Tears clogged his throat and he couldn't speak.   

Blaine.

His beautiful, wonderful, reckless Blaine. Standing there looking so very alive. His face was pale, but not like before, he had a dark painful looking bruise covering the upper right side of his face, but otherwise seemed unharmed. 

And he was here, he wasnt dead. Kurt didn't understand, but he didn't care not when Blaine was right here just feet away from Kurt and Kurt couldnt even run to him because Sebastian stood between them.

Kurt involuntarily reached out a hand towards Blaine and tried to call to him, but his throat was too tight with relief to say anything. 

"Well you are on your feet before I thought you would be." Sebastian growled at Blaine. 

The hatred on Sebastians face helped Kurt find his voice again. Sebastian was looking at Blaine as if he wanted to crush him. 

"Blaine!" Kurt shouted suddenly. "Run! Please, Blaine!"

Kurt didnt understand what was happening, how Blaine was here when he had just seen his ghost, but all that mattered was Blaine getting out of here alive. 

Sebastian turned back to Kurt with a dreadful look on his face. "Do you think hell run and leave you with me?" 

Kurts eyes darted back and forth between Sebastian and Blaine. Blaine looked weak and scared, but frozen in place. He wasnt going to run. Kurt closed his eyes, took a deep breath and without any thought at all he barreled forward. 

Sebastian must not have been expecting it, because Kurt knocked him right over, he hit the wall, his head thudding against it. Kurt kept going until he reached Blaine, grabbing his hand and wanting to cry at the warm, solid press of Blaines skin against his own. 

"Move." Kurt commanded and he kept running, Blaine hurrying beside him. They ran away from Sebastian and away from the only exit Kurt knew about. Kurt wanted to stop, he wanted to hold Blaine in his arms and check over every inch of him to make sure he was alright. But Sebastian was behind them.  

"Im sorry Kurt." Blaine said as they raced down the hall. "I... I thought he had you and..."

"No time Blaine." Kurt said as he focused on getting them out of there. They turned the corner and almost ran into a closed door. Kurt tugged on the doorknob, but it was locked and wouldnt budge. 

"Fuck!" Kurt yelled and then it was Blaine tugging on his hand as they turned and started running down another hallway. 

Blaine stumbled a little and Kurt stopped to help him. "Blaine youre hurt." Kurt said as he looked at him more closely, his skin was frighteningly pale. 

"No time Kurt." He said with a weak smile and they kept going. 

They ran through the dark warehouse and Kurt was aware of the sound of someone quickly catching up to him. His heart pounded in his chest as his feet thudded against the ground. He didnt know how to get out, where was the exit? 

"Where are we going?" Blaine asked beside him, echoing Kurts own thoughts. 

"We just have to find an exit or a way downstairs." Kurt replied, everything around him so frighteningly familiar.

This was his dream.  They were living it right now, meaning the part of his dream where someone was shot and fell over a ledge could still happen if Kurt didn't change things. 
  
They came to another door and Kurt just prayed that this one opened, he tried the handle and when that didnt work they both threw their weight against it, but the door didnt budge. Blaine looked at Kurt with round frightened eyes. 

"Kurt." He said sounding desperate locking eyes with him like he was trying to drink Kurt in. Then he wrapped a hand around the back his neck and pulled him forward into a kiss. Kurt whimpered and kissed him back. 

They were together, he didnt know what the next few moments would mean for both of them, but at least they were together. They broke apart, there was so much Kurt wanted to say but they turned seeing Sebastian standing behind him. 

Sebastian looked livid, his face flushed and red his eyes dark and full of hatred. He looked the way he had the night he'd killed Kurt and it made Kurt's skin crawl and his heart race. Sebastian lifted a gun and pointed in their direction. "Come with me." He said.

Kurt clung to Blaines hand and couldnt tell if their clasped hands were trembling because of him or Blaine.

Sebastian directed them with his gun until they were in front of him with the gun to their backs, forcing them not to run. Kurt gripped Blaines hand harder as he took a moment to really scan the area around them. 

Behind him was Sebastian, in front a hallway he desperately wanted to sprint down, to his left a wall and to his right there was railing, he could look down and see the hard concrete floor below them. 

"God no." He breathed as he recognized the scene from his nightmare, he turned to Blaine "We cant be here", but he knew there was nothing Blaine could do about it. 

"Stop." Sebastian barked out from behind them. "Youve made this fun." He said as he walked in front of them. "I like a chase, but it ends now." He leveled his gun, pointing at Kurt. “Who would have thought I'd have to kill you again?”

Kurt was the one who was going to die like he nightmare. But then what would happen to Blaine? He cleared his throat trying to think of anything he could say to change Sebastians mind. But it was Blaine's voice the pierced the silence.

"Please, dont." Blaine begged, his voice sounding broken as he took a small step forward and to the side so he was standing partially in front of Kurt. “Please, please don't hurt hm.”

Sebastian ignored Blaine and kept his gun aimed at Kurt who was ready for the shot at any moment. Then something twitched in Sebastian's expression and he smiled, he moved his arm an inch to the right until it pointed the gun directly at Blaines forehead. 

"No!" Kurt cried. 

Blaine dropped Kurt's hand and held up his own as he moved even move in front of Kurt trying to reason with Sebastian. "You dont have to do this. What is the point?" He said and Sebastian stepped towards him and away from Kurt. Blaine started backing away from Sebastian, until his back was pressed against the railing.

Then Kurt saw it all, his dream hitting him with terrifying clarity. Blaine backed against the ledge with no place to go, fear drumming all around him, the glint of a gun and a shot and then Blaine would topple backwards and hit the hard ground far below.

Kurt thought hed lost Blaine once today, and now it seemed that he had made it here just in time to watch Blaine die.  

"Please dont!" Kurt heard Blaine yell before Sebastian cocked the gun. 

This couldnt happen, Kurt wouldnt let it. He lifted his hands as if to defend himself. Adrenaline pumped through his body, and something else, something hot and powerful, something he didnt recognize. Something was happening to him, to his body, he looked at his raised hands and they were trembling and seemed to start to glow. 

Kurt glanced up, Sebastian had paused also noticing the faint shimmer that circled Kurt's outstretched hands. Then Kurt let out a shout and pushed his hands forward; something pulled out of him and hit the air with a loud whooshing noise. The force of whatever Kurt just did pushed Sebastian backwards, slamming him against the wall without Kurt even touching him. 

Kurt stood frozen with his arms held out and his palms raised. Sebastian slumped against the wall and Kurt glanced at Blaine who was staring at him with eyes so big they looked ready to fall out of his head. 

Kurt turned back to Sebastian to see him regaining his feet, his gun had flung from his hand when he fell and landed several feet to his left, Blaine and Sebastian saw it at the same time and Blaine dove forward to get to it before Sebastian could.

Sebastian didn't seem to care about the gun though, he set his sights on Kurt. Sebastian's hair was askew and his eyes bulging and full of rage, he looked crazed. He let out a vicious growl and lunged forward.

"Kurt!" Blaine yelled.

But Kurt stood his ground and held up his hands again, there was a wall of light that Sebastian couldn't run through, He tried though, pushing against the light coming from Kurt's hands and making Kurt back up a few steps.

If he let his hands down Sebastian would tackle him, but if he kept the wall of light up he was just stuck here and neither he nor Blaine would get away.

Kurt felt the metal of the railing press against his back, he knew what he had to do, he glanced at Blaine and then dropped his hands.

Sebastian charged forward nearly upon him, he heard Blaine shout and then Kurt ducked and diving out of the way. Sebastian kept going, he hit the railing with such force that it doubled him over and in a fraction of a second he flipped over and plunged headfirst over the side, a scream on his lips. 

Kurt stood and turned around. He heard a sickening thud as Sebastian hit the ground below. 

Blaine stood up from where he was on the ground having grabbed the gun. He walked over to Kurt, both of them staring at the spot where Sebastian had gone over. 

Kurt was trembling so much his muscles hurt. "I… I cant look." He breathed. 

Blaine nodded and walked towards the railing. 

"Blaine dont."

Blaine turned back and smiled reassuringly at Kurt. "It's okay." He looked over the side and Kurt watched him wince and his ashy face grew paler. That was it then, Sebastian was gone. 

Blaine backed up and walked to Kurts side. He carefully placed the gun on the ground and wrapped his arms around Kurt. Kurt curled himself up into Blaines hold, face buried in his shoulder as he started to cry. 

Blaine held him so tight Kurt felt like he would never let go "its okay." Blaine murmured tears in his own voice. "He cant hurt us. He cant hurt us."
