Summary: Kurt is in New York, and so is someone else.
AN: I don't hate Mr. Shue but there are a lot of guidelines for teachers that he crosses. - This is a bit of a transition chapter.
During the next month Dawn and Kurt became good friends. She told him about her life in Sunnydale and how much she lost when it sank. It sounds like there's something she's not telling him.
She told him about her family, Buffy who was in Rome, though Dawn looked so sad when she talked about spending time with her in Sunnyhell, as she called it. She talked about Giles a lot, he seemed like the kind uncle but that's not who he was it seemed he was both more and less depending on which story she was telling. And once I discovered that he was her sister's librarian through high school Kurt wished they had, had someone like that at McKinley. Mr Shue tried but he was dealing with all of his issues and seemed to want the New Directions to help him solve his problems at the same time as he tried to teach them. She also told him about Willow and Kennedy, who reminds him of Santana with money. I think she made a point of talking about Willow and her ex-girlfriend living with her and her sister because she knew Kurt was gay. It wasn't like he was one of the gay guys who seem straight on first meeting, like Blaine could, unless he was hyper or overtired.
Kurt couldn't believe that it was fall recess next that weekend. Dawn had been going on about the fact that she was going back to Cleveland for the weekend, while Kurt was staying in New York with Rachel. Her roommate (Rachel roommate)'s sexcapades have not slowed down since the first week so Rachel will be taking advantage of the fact that Malcolm is going back to Massachusetts for the weekend and is moving in with Kurt. Kurt is sure he will regret it before the week is out but it's only for 4 nights. They're meeting Friday afternoon at La Pâtesserie Quotidienne, which has become their coffee shop.
With the break approaching their teachers were piling on the work and mid-terms were coming up. Kurt was stressed with Rachel moving in and all of the work he and Dawn hadn't seen each other outside of meals at the cafeteria for most of the week leading up to break; they spent most meals shovelling in their food as quick as they can so they could get back to studying and papers. Some of the other freshmen seemed less stressed, they were the ones who spend every weekend in a drunken haze and would be gone by the next year unless their parents had the money to ensure their enrolment. Dawn seemed to be taking it all in stride, apparently used to working and researching under pressure. Kurt on the other hand never had to cram so hard in his life; everything academic at McKinley came to him easily. The only thing he could compare this to was his first weeks at Dalton and the catch-up work he had to do.
Dawn was leaving Friday night and in order to spend some time with Kurt she was going to coffee with him and Rach.
"When is your family getting here?" Rachel asked
"Soon, they're gonna text me before they show up."
"Who's coming?" Kurt asked, knowing more about her family than Rachel did.
"I'm not sure, Xander said he was heading back to the states soon, but Faith and Robin have been touring around the country for the last few months so it depends who's closer."
"Xander? Faith? Robin? Who are they?" Rachel asked
"They're part of my family. Xander's been around since we moved to Sunnydale and Faith showed up almost two years later. We all got out of Sunny-D together." At that point Dawn's phone beeped, she checked it and sent back a quick reply. "Well Faith's at the dorm, I just sent her directions, they should be here soon." Kurt was excited to meet Faith, she was one of the more colourful people of the group, well except for Spike, but she didn't mention him that much and when she did she started to tear up.
"Yo brat, you packed?" Came a voice from the entry of the coffee shop. Dawn looked slightly embarrassed, and waved the girl over. She had a tight figure packed into leather pants and a 90's style cropped top that made Kurt cringe for fashion, though he couldn't deny that it worked for her, still, his figures itched for a makeover.
"I'm packed; please tell me you didn't bring your bike."
"Nope, Robin's got a Council van at your building."
"So, no Xander?" Dawn asked with a frown.
"Nope, the Xan-man is still in Africa, for now." She said with a wink, which made Dawn give a little smile of hope. Faith sat down and took a big swig of Dawn's mocha.
"Hey! Do we need to go right now,"
"Nope, I was sure you wouldn't be packed. I've gotten used to all of the mini-B's who aren't ready to go."
"How many?" Dawn asked quietly. Kurt wasn't sure who or what they were talking about, but Kurt had gotten used to the fact that not all of Dawn's stories added up completely. He noticed that Faith discretely held up 8 fingers.
"Hi, I'm Kurt," he said smiling at Faith, "and this is Rachel"
"Faith. Hey."
Dawn and Faith left Kurt and Rachel at the coffee shop a little while later. They wanted to sneak away, because a council van meant a witch, they were going to teleport back to Cleveland. Dawn was still a little unsure around magic because of Willow's addiction and all of the missing information about what being the key might mean if someone used the wrong spell.
The witch she was expecting was actually a guy. His name was Lucas Zizes, he grabbed Dawn's suitcase and her hand and in a blink they were standing just inside the doorway of the Council headquarters in Cleveland. Lucas disappeared for a moment and Dawn quickly moved out of the way so that there was room for him to bring back Faith and Robin.
AN: I am really nervous about my Faith voice, let me know what you think and how I could make it better.
In your note leave me your fav Dawn/Faith or Kurt quote-
DAWN: "Spike. You sleep, right? You. Vampires. You sleep. Well, I can't take you in a fight or anything, even with a chip in your head. But you do sleep. If you hurt my sister at all... touch her... you're gonna wake up on fire."
I kind of LOVE Lauren Zizes
