Blaine watched Kurt walk away and then he leaped into the air and started to fall, but the carpet quickly caught him and then lazily made its way back down to the garden. Blaine laid on his back looking up at the stars. He heart was full. He was so in love. Everything was going perfectly… well, almost perfectly, he hated lying to Kurt. Maybe he should just trust Kurt… Kurt trusted him.

He sighed, he had to figure something out. He wished Mike was around to talk too. He got up from the carpet and pulled his turban off, he was going to reach for the lamp to talk to the Genie and get his advice, but suddenly he was grabbed from behind. Strong hands pinned his arms behind his back.

"Hey! Stop!" Blaine yelled, but then a cloth was stuffed in his mouth and tied around the back of his head effectively keeping him from yelling. He watched as two of the Royal Guard grabbed the carpet before it could fly away and tie it around a palm tree as they laughed watching it try to get away.

"Mmmmfph!" Blaine tried to make enough noise through the gag to get someones attention, but it didnt seem to do any good. It was the very early hours of the morning and no one was in the garden and Kurts window was high above him.

He didnt understand what was going on. Did the Sultan find out the truth about him? But if he was being arrested why did they gag him?

Then Hunter strode into his line of sight a dark look on his face. The Genies magic was meant to keep people from recognizing Blaine, but Kurt had seen who he really was, he wondered if Hunter saw it too. He was certainly looking at Blaine with enough distain.

"Come on men!" Hunter called. "William has ordered us to deal with this prince."

They roughly tied his hands so Blaine just started kicking out at them so they tied his and feet as well. Then they scooped him off the ground and no matter how he struggled he couldnt get away. They marched him out of the back of the palace and down a long road he wondered if hed ever see the palace or see Kurt again. They stopped when they reached the edge of a cliff, Blaine could hear waves breaking far below.

They were going to toss him off of a cliff? They wouldnt really kill a prince would they?

The lamp was still in his turban which Blaine had managed to stuff quickly into the waistband of his pants before they tied him up, but he couldnt get to it. Then one of the bigger guards walked up to the group with a heavy ball and chain, he locked the chain onto Blaines ankle.

Blaine had just enough time to realize they really were going to try to kill him before he was flying through the air. No, not flying, he knew what flying felt like, he was falling. Down, down, down, he closed his eyes in terror, if he hit any rocks below that would kill him. But then with a stinging plash he hit the water below and sunk deep into the ocean.

He opened his eyes again and tried to twist his body towards the surface, he fought and struggled, but there was no way to swim back up, he was tied up and bound to a heavy weight, the ball and chain dragging him down to the bottom.

Blaine couldnt even kick out or try to paddle because of the way he was bound. He thrashed around in the water for a long moment as his lungs started to burn. He might actually die here. No not after everything hed gone through to get to Kurt, he loved Kurt and it seemed that Kurt might actually feel the same way, it couldnt end like this.

Then he saw his turban float down a few feet away from him, the lamp shimmering within it. Blaine let out a gargled cry and started pulling forward, trying to get to the lamp. He couldnt do it though, the weight held him back and his head and vision started to swim.

His chest felt tight like it might burst with needing air. He scooted forward a little but was still too far to reach the lamp, his vision grew dark and then all the air in his lungs bubbled out of his mouth towards the surface as he slumped forward. And everything went black.

Blaine gasped as his lungs filled with air, burning and feeling so sore, but he was at least breathing. He blinked open his eyes and then curled up coughing, salt water burning his throat and nose. He finally caught his breath enough to look up and see the Genie knelling beside him, rubbing Blaines back and looking worried.

"That was too close." The Genie said.

"What h-happened?" Blaine wheezed out.

"Well, you took a dive man. Decided to go for a little swim while tied up and bound to a ball and chain. Do you know how dangerous that is?."

"Genie…"

The Genie rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled weakly, face grave."But seriously, I thought you were going to die, what did happen?"

"I was… taken... the guards." Blaine tried to stand but his legs werent steady yet.

The Genie helped him back to the ground. "Whoa, you scared the crap out of me. Just take it easy for a minute." The Genie said looking him over to make sure he was really okay.

"How did I… Genie, you saved me?"

The Genie smiled. "Well, it was a wish. I couldnt do it unless it was a wish."

"I didnt…"

"You nodded." The Genie said. "It was enough for me."

"Thanks Genie." Blaine smiled before a thought hit him. "Wait…" He sprang to his feet, leaning on the Genie a little as he did. "If the guards are trying to kill me because they are working for William." He glanced back at towards the palace. "Kurt could be in danger!"

"Come on kid." The Genie said, growing in size, Ill give you a lift back to the palace.

"Thanks Genie."

"Just dont scare me like that again."

Blaine smirked a little. "Ah Genie I didnt know you cared."

The Genie rolled his eyes and lifted Blaine up on his large shoulders. "Come on, it isnt like I want to pick out curtains or anything."

Kurt couldnt go to sleep or sit still he was too happy, too excited, he flitted around his room humming the tune Blaine had sung earlier. He turned around when he heard someone enter his room and saw his dad. He was still upset with his father, but anger took second place to his happiness right now and Kurt rushed forward.

"Dad!" He called joyfully. "Ive found a suitor. I mean Ive chosen a suitor. If I still have to marry than I choose-"

"A suitor has been chosen for you." Burt said in monotone.

"What? No. Do you mean Bl-Devon? Because thats…"

"You are to wed William."

Kurt stopped, too shocked to move or speak, then he saw William slide into the room. Kurt just blinked at him, not comprehending what was happening.

"Youre speechless, I see." William said. "A fine quality in a husband."

Kurt was jolted out of his shock. "No! I will never marry you." He turned to his father. "Father, I choose Prince Devon!"

His father just stood still, staring at nothing. What was wrong with him?

"Ah yes, but Prince Devon doesnt want to marry you." William said.

Kurt turned to him and glared. "You dont know what youre talking about." His heart beat faster, he knew Blaine cared about him, he did. He wouldnt let William poison the truth.

William shrugged, "It seems Prince Devon has made a hasty exit, he just left. I guess you couldnt charm him after all."

Kurt didnt believe him, he looked at William and the smug almost evil look on his face.

"What have you done?" Kurt asked feeling afraid for Blaine.

"He tried to have me killed!" Blaine shouted. Kurt turned to see Blaine coming in through the balcony entrance. Kurt closed his eyes briefly and breathed in relief before anger took over.

"You tried to have him killed!" He shouted at William.

"Ridiculous nonsense, your highness." William said turning to the Sultan. "These young people think they can get away with anything." He brought the staff close to the Sultans face. "Hes obviously lying."

"Obviously lying." Burt repeated sluggishly.

"Father! Whats wrong with you?" Then Kurt saw it, how had he never seen it before? His father stood transfixed, starring at the ruby red eyes of Williams serpent staff.

Kurt grabbed the staff and yanked it out of Williams unsuspecting grasp; he lifted it high in the air and then smashed it down hard on the ground shattered pieced of the serpents head bouncing off of the tiled floor. A purple smoke rose out of the smashed and a putrid smell like something rotting.

Kurt looked up at his dad who blinked his eyes and looked around like he didnt even know where he was. His eyes looked clearer than they had for years. "What... What just happened?" 

"William has been controlling you with this!" Kurt said lifting up the broken staff, his throat filling with tears of relief, would this mean hed actually get his father back? 

"What?" He fathers eyes flashed with anger as he advanced on William. "You traitor!" 

"Your majesty, all of this can be explained." 

But the Sultan wouldnt hear any of it, "Guards! Guards!" He yelled. "You have infected my mind" Burt growled. "You have made me hurt my kingdom, my son. You will pay for this!" 

The Guards entered and were ordered to arrest William. William looked panicked for a moment as his eyes scanned the Sultan, and Kurt and then Blaine... and then his eyes narrowed and a wicked smile turned up his lips as he looked a Blaine. 

Kurt didnt like that look, he instinctively took a step between William and Blaine. 

"This is not done yet, boy!" William yelled at Blaine as the guards grabbed him. He lifted up a fist and smashed something on to ground. The room was filled with a heavy smoke filling Kurts lungs and making him cough. When it finally cleared the two palace guards who had been holding William were just wrestling each other. 

"Find him, search everywhere!" The Sultan commanded. 

Kurt turned to face Blaine. "Blaine, are you alright?" He said his eyes scanning him for any sign of injury, he was dripping from head to toe for some reason, but otherwise seemed okay. 

Blaine smiled and pulled him in close, Kurt didnt even mind that it meant he got wet too as Blaine brushed some hair off Kurts forehead.

"Yes, Im fine." He smiled and leaned in for a kiss, but they were interrupted by Kurts father. "Kurt." He said grabbing Kurts arms and looking him in the eye. "I am sorry son... I… I couldnt break away, sometimes I knew something was wrong, but..." His dad looked close to tears and it hurt Kurts heart to see him this way. He wrapped his father it a hug and held him tight.

"Ive missed you dad." He said. They stayed like that for a long moment before breaking apart; Kurt wiped his eyes and turned to look at Blaine who had stepped back a little to let them be.

Burt looked back and forth between Kurt and Blaine. "Wait..." He said, a smile forming on his lips. "What is this?" Kurt reached out towards Blaine who hurried to his side and held his hand.

"I was trying to tell you Ive found a suitor." Kurt stopped, suddenly nervous, he looked back at Blaine. "That is if hell have me." 

Blaine leaned forward and captured Kurts lips in a soft sweet kiss. "Yes, of course Kurt."He breathed against his skin. 

Burt burst out laughing, the happy full sound of it filling the room. "This is wonderful!" He said and scooped them booth up in a bear hug. "Just wonderful. The two of you will be married and then one day youll both rule together as Sultans! I am so happy for you both!" 

Kurt couldnt help but join in the laughter, the two people most important to him in the world by his side. He didnt notice Blaine pull away slightly looking uneasy.
