Unlocking the front door, Blaine quickly stepped in, closing the door behind him. Taking in a breath, Blaine leaned against the door and looked up. This was so ridiculous - he'd only met Kurt twice already today and already he was completely infatuated. Blaine couldn't help it though. There was something about Kurt that was pulling him in, and Blaine didn't know if he could fight it. He didn't even know if he even wanted to fight it.

Breathing in again, Blaine pushed himself away from the door and headed into upstairs to his room. He knew Cooper was worrying about him and where he was but Blaine didn't want to speak to him right now. Blaine just wanted to get his feelings together for the moment. His mind was a complete mess because of meeting Kurt. The boy had some kind of control over him, and Blaine had to get his mind together. At least enough that he wouldn't feel this strongly about Kurt already. They'd literally just met after all, and what seemed to make it worse for Blaine was that Kurt didn't seem to feel anywhere close to what he felt. Yeah, he'd bought him coffee to make up for the fact Blaine dropped his, but most of Kurt's actions around him so far seemed to indicate that Kurt didn't like him too much.

Though, before he was even halfway up the stairs, Blaine heard Cooper's voice ringing out into the hall.

"Well, you certainly took your time getting home, Squirt."

Letting out a small sigh, Blaine turned around and looked at Cooper as his brother came out of the kitchen, and leaned against the door frame.

"I told you I was getting coffee," Blaine said, a little exasperated.

"I know, I know," Cooper smiled at Blaine, "You just took a while is all. I was worried."

Blaine looked at Cooper and gave a slight shrug "I just got lost. I meant to come straight home but I found the Lima Bean on the way there and I remember seeing it when Mum was driving me to the house." Blaine explained. He hoped that Cooper would accept this - even though it was the truth, Blaine knew Cooper would question him further - and would just let him walk upstairs.

"You didn't take your car?" Cooper asked.

Blaine sighed a little irritably and shook his head "I can't drive, remember? And school's not that far from here, so I'd be walking anyway." He gave a simple shrug and tried to make his way back upstairs but Cooper spoke again

"But you got lost," Cooper countered, "You could've phoned me and asked me to pick you up."

Blaine stopped mid step and looked at his brother slowly with an annoyed look. "I told you I was lost," Blaine said, "I couldn't have told you where I was so you could pick me up anyway. Can you just leave me alone and let me go upstairs for a while?" 

Giving a shake of his head, Blaine headed upstairs, just managing to get to his room when Cooper ran up, following him.

"Blaine, wait," He said, frowning a little, "Did something happen at school today? Did anyone say anything to you?" He asked, concern filling his gaze. Blaine knew what Cooper was thinking, remembering the conversation Cooper had with their mother from the night before.

"No, nothing happened," Blaine said, shaking his head, "No-one knows I'm gay yet... It's not something you tell someone the second you meet them," He said, giving a gentle laugh.

"Okay good... This town isn't exactly friendly with that kind of thing," Cooper said, with a weak smile "But what did happen? I know that something is bothering you."

"It's nothing too bad, Coop, you don't need to worry," He shook his head slowly, walking into his room. 

"So, what did happen then?" Cooper asked, following Blaine into his room and sat down on the bed. "Talk to me Blaine."

Blaine looked at Cooper irritably and crossed his arms over; there was no way he was getting out of this any time soon. 

"You really want to know, huh?" Blaine asked, sighing as he sat down on the bed next to Cooper.

"I do, indeed, Blaine. So what's up?" Cooper asked, turning to look at him.

Blaine took a breath as he prepared himself to speak, and smiled softly at his brother "I met a guy in Biology,"

As soon as Blaine finished speaking, an unsettling smirk came across Cooper's lips, and Blaine was starting to regret even mentioning Kurt.

"A guy?" Cooper repeated, "What's he like then? I know you've only just met, but I'd like to just get a rough idea. Mum might know his family too, so we'll know what he's like."

Well, that wasn't too bad. Blaine was half expecting to be teased relentlessly the second he even mentioned ever liking a guy. There was the possibility Cooper would start teasing him as soon as he was done telling him what Kurt was like, but for the moment, Cooper actually didn't seem to have any intentions; he really just seemed to be curious about Kurt.

"He's beautiful," Blaine said, giving a dreamy sigh as thoughts of Kurt came to the front of his mind. "Like...it's an almost..non human kind of beauty. And we're in an AP class together, so he's probably really smart as well. He doesn't say much - I heard from other people that he keeps to himself, but he seems nice enough.. But god, he really is beautiful... He's just so stunning, and gorgeous, and -" BLaine cut himself off and gave another dreamy sigh, the thoughts of Kurt he had from before.

Not noticing the look of concern on Cooper's face, Blaine was only pulled out of his thoughts as Cooper spoke again. "So... he's beautiful, quiet, not too mean, and smart?" Cooper asked, raising an eyebrow. "What else?"

At Cooper's question, Blaine was stumped. Stuttering, Blaine desperately tried to think of what else to say about Kurt "W-what else is there..?" He repeated slowly. Blaine was starting to panic; he couldn't think of anything else about Kurt just now apart from his damn beauty. He felt so awful - Blaine wasn't superficial, he didn't only fall for people for their looks but he honestly couldn't think of anything else.

Hearing Cooper letting out a low chuckle, Blaine frowned. "Wow, you could write a book, Blaine: 'How To Offend A Guy In Five Syllables Or Less'," He teased softly before sighing and shaking his head "Really, you need to look past how pretty he is, because he could be a total douche with what you're saying is inhumane beauty."

Blushing, Blaine shook his head "I know... I know, Coop. But he just... he pulled me in, and I met him at the Lima Bean, he bought me coffee after I dropped mine," He said, meekly "So he can't be that bad can he?"

"Well, you never know Blaine. You still should get to know him if you're really that attracted to him." Cooper was silent for a few moments, before looking at Blaine with a raised eyebrow "What is this kid's name by the way? Like I said, Mum might know his parents, and I might have met them as well. Kids are usually like their parents around her."

"Kurt," Blaine said, smiling at the mere sound of Kurt's name, "Kurt Hummel. Do you know him?"

"Hummel?" Cooper said, his eyebrows raising in question "Yeah, I think I might. I remember hearing that the whole Hummel family keep to themselves. So it's not just him, then."

"Oh.." Blaine said, softly "Do you know what they're like? Apart from the whole keeping to themselves?"

"Not really," Cooper said as he shook his head and stood up. "I'll ask Mum, and report back, okay? I can't promise anything, but you really should just get to know Kurt rather than relying on us to get to know his parents. Also, you should probably find out if he's actually gay as well. Because even if he is the nicest guy on Earth, you won't get very far if he doesn't play for your team,"

Smiling, Blaine nodded and watched as Cooper walked out of his room, knowing that his brother was right. "Yeah.. thanks, Coop."

-----

After the talk with Blaine, Cooper waited downstairs anxiously for their mother to come home. Thankfully, Blaine hadn'nt been down and the voice noise of Blaine's voice indicated he was on the phone to someone.

Hearing the door opening, Cooper breathed out a sigh of relief and looked at his mother as she came into the kitchen "There you are, I've been waiting for you." He said, sighing exasperatedly.

"I was only at work, Cooper," his mother replied, rather impatiently as she set her handbag on the counter. "Why were you waiting on me, anyway?" She asked as she took off her jacket and hung it up on the door.

"What do you know about the Hummels?"

"The Hummels?" She asked, "I don't know a lot. They don't really go out of their way to talk to people. I know Elizabeth - or rather, Lily as she prefers - and she's lovely. But I don't know her husband very well, and I've never even spoken to their son. Why, do you need to speak to them about something?"

"Not exactly," Cooper said, as he sat down at the dining table, "Their son, Kurt is in Blaine's Biology class."

"Oh, he is?" Cooper's mother smiled at him, before turning on the kettle, "I thought he was older than that. I thought he'd graduated last summer,"

"Turns out he hasn't," Cooper frowned a little "Blaine seems to be quite taken with him already."

"So, is he nice then?" His mother's face lit up even further, "Well, I hope Blaine doesn't get hurt by him, but considering his mother I highly doubt that. Do you want coffee?"

"Please," Cooper said, nodding a little at her offer, "Well, the only thing Blaine said about his personality is that he seems nice. Because he bought him coffee. But everything else he said about Kurt was all about his appearance. Blaine kept going on about how beautiful he was and couldn't think of anything else to say about him."

"Oh so he just has a crush, leave him alone, Cooper!" His mother chastised him. "We've all liked someone just because they were attractive, it's no different."

"But mum, it is." Cooper insisted "I've seen Blaine talk about hot guys before and this is different. He was getting all distracted and dreamy and it was just really unsettling." Sighing, Cooper watched his mother starting to pour the boiling water from the kettle into mugs and make coffee. "You know what it is I'm known for in certain circles, right?" 

"Yes, you deal with..." His mother trailed off, opening her mouth and pointing at her teeth. "What about that?" She asked as she brought the coffee over and sat down at the table with Cooper.

"Well... you know that attack on those graduates that happened last night?"

"Yes, it's awful. One of the doctor's at work said there was no hope for survival. I can't believe an animal did that."

Cooper looked at his mother in disbelief. "Mum, it wasn't an animal. Of course it wasn't an animal. No animal in this area could've done that amount of damage!"

"Then what could it -" A look of realisation his his mother and she looked up at him slowly with a fearful look "No.. Cooper, you don't think -"

"I do. They're here. And I think that kid in Blaine's Biology class knows what happened."

-----

After Sebastian left, Kurt couldn't stop shaking. He wanted to run upstairs and start crying to his mother, but he couldn't. He was frozen to the spot, and all he could do was tremble and panic, Sebastian's words constantly ringing in his head.

He was terrified for Blaine. Kurt had only spoken to him twice, and Kurt was fearing for the boy's life. Sebastian was dangerous. Incredibly so. He'd already murdered two people since his arrival in Lima - who's to say he won't do it again? What if he killed nearly everyone until he got to Blaine?

When Kurt finally was able to move and headed upstairs, the house was empty. A note for him was left on the kitchen table from his mother, saying that she was just getting things for dinner and should be home soon. Kurt gave a heavy sigh in an attempt to calm his breath and glanced at the clock. A slight feeling of relief filled him, knowing that it would only be around ten minutes until his father came home. Kurt knew that speaking to his dad wouldn't resolve the issue at all, but at least it would calm him slightly. 

While he was waiting, Kurt headed up stairs to his father's study. His father worked as a mechanic, but his study was used for research on the Original vampire families. It wasn't something Kurt wanted to know about; in all honesty, Kurt wanted nothing to do with this affliction and it was just something he had to deal with everyday.

Kurt was pacing around the room when Burt finally came in, turning around when hearing his father's voice "Kurt? What are you doing in here?"

Kurt took a deep breath as he turned to look as his father, frowning a little "Can I speak to you?"

"Kurt, of course you can," His father said, shaking his head as he sat at his desk, "What do you want to talk about?"

Swallowing back, Kurt sat down across from his father. He was silent for a few moments, trying to figure out where to start; Kurt was grateful for his father being patient and not pushing an answer out of him.

Eventually, Kurt gave a soft laugh and shook his head "I honestly don't know where to begin."

"Then begin from the start," His father said simply.

"I don't think I can do that," Kurt laughed weakly "The start is the worst part."

They were both silent for a while before Kurt spoke again "Sebastian's here."

"What?"

"Sebastian. He's in Lima," Kurt said, looking up slowly up at his father, "And he can get in here. Mother invited him in - neither of you know what he looks like, and he pretended to be a delivery man."

"Kurt, I thought you said he didn't know where you are. That's why we hadn't seen him in so long -"

"I know, I thought so too!" Kurt said, groaning out, "I thought I'd never have to see him again, but he came into my room. He was the one that killed those two students, Father. He said that it was his 'grand entrance'."

His father looked at him with wide eyes "Are you serious?" He asked, concern evident in his voice "Kurt, I'm sorry, I thought -"

"L-look, it doesn't matter, okay? That's not even what I'm most concerned about.."

"Kurt, there's someone that's threatening us and threatening our secret - what could be worse than that?"

Kurt bit down on his lip, not daring to look at his father as he spoke again "Cooper Anderson.."

A tense, uneasy silence filled the room, and Kurt knew his father was paralysed by shock due to what he said. After all, hearing that name this morning surprised him too.

"What did you say?" His father asked in a dangerously slow voice.

"Cooper Anderson," Kurt repeated slowly, looking up at his father, "He's moved here. He's in Lima."

"Kurt," His father stood up and walked over to his chair, towering over him "Please tell me that you're sure. You didn't misunderstand something?"

Kurt shook his head quickly "N-no... His brother's in my Biology class, he introduced himself and mentioned he had a brother, Cooper. His surname's Anderson, and they came from California.. there's no way it's not him." 

At the mention of Blaine, Kurt started shaking, panic filling him completely. Blaine was what was scaring him the most. What was making Kurt so afraid of what was happening. And that alone scared Kurt even more. Because his brother with an insatiable lust for blood was walking freely in the town he lived after already killing two people, and there was a notorious vampire killer who'd moved to the town and was undoubtedly going to be finding out information that could potentially expose him and his family for what they were. 

He wasn't scared of this - he wasn't as scared of that as he was to some boy in his Biology class. And he was only scared of him because of who he resembled. Blaine looked so much like him that Kurt was already starting to feel crippling fear taking over him. There was something telling him, that even though it was impossible, that Blaine really was him. No matter how much the logical part of his brain was telling him otherwise.

"Kurt!" 

Jumping, Kurt looked up with wide eyes and stared at his father who was now grabbing onto his shoulder's, leaning over so their faces were more level.

"Kurt, calm down. What's wrong?"

Kurt didn't say anything and just shook his head. "I can't...It's nothing."

"Kurt, I know you better than that." His father said, frowning a little. This isn't nothing. You were shaking, and I didn't even think you could hear me. What else is wrong?"

"He scares me.." Kurt said softly, averting his gaze from his father.

"Cooper?"

"N-no," Kurt said, shaking his head "His brother. He scares me so much."

"Why does he scare you? Did he say anything to you?" His father asked, the over-bearing concerned tone in his voice. 

"He didn't say anything that should make me scared... In all honesty, there's nothing about what he's like so far that should make me scared," Kurt explained, "But... he looks like him.. He looks like Leon."

"He looks like Leon? God, Kurt is that's all that's scaring you? There's always going to be someone that looks like someone else."

"No, Dad... you don't understand.." Kurt mumbled, feeling childish by calling his father that. "He doesn't just look like him.. It's like.. It's like Blaine is him. That he's back. I know that it's impossible for him to be back, but I was so scared when I first saw him. I thought he was going to kill me. I thought he was going to kill everyone and then kill me.. Or just.. I don't know. I was so scared he was going to hurt me, but when I sat next to him.. I'd never felt anything like it. I thought I was going to end up draining him right there. I've never had that problem before at school. I've felt hungry and the temptation has been there but it was never that hard to fight it, and I was feeling like I wouldn't even care that everyone could see it and -"

Kurt wasn't able to take it any more and broke down crying, his entire body shaking after each sob escaped his body. His father reacted almost instantly and pulled him up. He pulled Kurt to his chest and tightly wrapped his arms around Kurt's body, letting him sob into his chest.

"Kurt, I want you to listen to me okay? Leon's not coming back okay? He's gone. You'll never hear from again. And you're not going to hurt this kid, okay? You've been strong enough the past hundred years not to kill anyone and you've had time to control your urges. You're not going to hurt him at all. Even when there's times when you feel like you're going to lose complete control over yourself" His father said in a soft, calming voice, in a voice that was only ever used for Kurt. Kurt couldn't even remember him using it when speaking to his mother, so it did calm him down, just a little bit.

However, Kurt knew that his calm state wasn't going to last for long. As soon as he was starting to feel completely calm, memories of the day that started all of this flooded Kurt's mind until what his father was saying was just a faint buzzing in the back of his mind.
