Clued In

Kurtoberfest prompt three: werewolves

written in 2018 but not finished until December...when I got tired of Christmas prompts and my brain cried.

Pairing: Klaine BUT NOT Blaine or Klaine friendly. Moving towards Sam and Kurt.

Kurt Hummel was sitting on a hay bale, lost. And very upset.

He should have just outright refused when Blaine suggested they all head out to the corn maze north of Westerville and meet up with some of the guys from Dalton. Rachel of course took him up on it when Blaine told her it would be a great opportunity to spy on the Warblers and the rest fell into line when Rachel declared it a ‘chance of a lifetime’ and ‘fun to boot’. Most were feeling sorry for her after she got banned from singing in sectionals after the whole ballot box thing…and those who didn’t give in for that reason and spying on the Warblers gave in so Sam could have a fun activity to welcome him back.

Corn mazes are dusty and itchy after all. He could have refused. It was after Halloween…he just should have insisted that the season for corn mazes was passed. Rachel would have tossed a fit and Blaine would have been mad but no one else would have batted an eye.

But he didn’t.

And he should have put his foot down when Blaine decided they should spilt up into small groups that were mixed between the schools and that he would hang with Sebastian and Thad and some of the kids Sebastian wanted for the Warblers…all under the guise of being there to give his opinion of the potential new Warblers. And Kurt didn’t put up a fuss when Blaine told Kurt he should just stick with Santana and Brittany, who Blaine didn’t trust with any Dalton boys…and who ditched Kurt within three turns of stepping into the maze…without question cards so Kurt had no hints at all which turn to take at which turning point.

But he didn’t.

So he had no one with him when he turned the corner three turns and four long straight paths back and walked into Blaine and Sebastian rolling in the hay…both figuratively and literally. No one to see Sebastian’s triumphant smirk…or hear Blaine tell Sebastian that this was more fun than last time…or witness the multitude of love bites covering Blaine’s exposed body, several which were not new. So there would be no one to believe him…he was sure.

On the good note, no one was there to see Kurt’s tears or hear him sob as he lay on the hale bale where he’d finally stopped running from the sight. And there didn’t seem to be anyone around to hear him scream either. Well, call out anyway…he hadn’t resorted to screaming quite yet. Except for the one he’d released in anger and frustration and fury about Blaine.

The hay bale was at a spot where it was a four way intersection, so Kurt figured he was bound to see someone sooner rather than later. He was perched under the sign with the werewolf instead of the sign with the zombie. They were bound to mean something if he had the code cards…but he didn’t, so they didn’t.

He called out again, just shouting “hello….anyone nearby?” into the void, and mentally berated himself once again for leaving his cellphone in his car like Blaine insisted.

He didn’t get an answer. He considered getting up and trying to find his way out…again. Standing on the hay bale had not helped at all, so figuring out his way out would be a massive bunch of guesses. Then he remembered his dad’s rules of wilderness interaction…which he decided this decidedly was. One of those rules…stay you ass put if you are lost.

Kurt sighed. He’d give staying put twenty minutes. The corn maze was only so big…he could stay lost but if he didn’t come home his dad would call and if TONS of people came out to hunt the corn maze he’d surely be found even if he did move. However twenty minutes was a LONG time to be bored.

The first thing he tried he figured was a two prong attack on bored and being lost. Rachel always seemed to show up when he sang songs that were ‘hers’…so he started with Defying Gravity…complete with the high notes he blew to keep peace. It didn’t bring Rachel storming into the intersection, but he was rather proud of himself. He moved on to On My Own from Les Mis and On My Own from Fame, the theme song from Fame, and then I Dreamed a Dream.

Rachel didn’t come storming to get him, however…he was enjoying the whole singing loudly and fully without anyone telling him to hush. There wasn’t anyone commenting on his voice, or his songs choices…or telling him he had to sing just one certain way.

So…Kurt decided to sing things he knew no one would accept from him and so he never even considered singing during glee club. He sang Loch Lomond and Danny Boy. He sang How Great Thou Art and Amazing Grace…(and fully expected Quinn or Mercedes to show up and accuse him of believing in God…which he didn’t, but he liked the songs)…and Come Thou Fount and The Prayer. Then Kurt turned to those songs he knew would really have ...shocked… the others. He started with Ring Of Fire…safe enough choice. Kurt moved into Fishin’ In the Dark and Friends With Tractors. He was just starting into Achy Breaky Heart when Sam came dashing down from the side that zombie sign was placed towards.

“I thought it was you…but Artie told me it was impossible, because you didn’t know songs like the ones we kept hearing.” Sam exclaimed.

“Can you get us out of here?” Kurt asked.

“I can get us back to Artie, and then I think between the three of us we can get out of here.”

“Good…I’m done with this. Oh, I’m also done with Blaine.”

“Done with Blaine?” Sam asked, making sure Kurt was following him towards where he’d left Artie.

“Breaking up with him done. I will not tolerate cheating, especially when one is uncouth enough to literally roll in the hay…in public…where children could have seen.”

“He did what?” Sam shouted.

“Who did what?” Artie shouted.

Kurt followed Sam around the bend at the end of the straight run…the bend towards the Werewolf.

“That was Kurt!?” Artie yelled again.

“I told you it was Kurt. Blaine did a what…so Kurt is breaking up with him.” Sam said.

“But Kurt sings Madonna and Lady Gaga and Broadway. Kurt doesn’t sing country.” Artie said.

“I sing pretty much everything…no one ever asks. Everyone set me in a box by day two of glee club and never let me out of it. Blaine cheated…enough said. I cried already…then I sat on an itchy hay bale for too long and now I’m mad...and itchy. And done with this place. Do you have the damn clue cards?”

“Yep. This junction’s question is…Remus Lupin is a ….go right for Werewolf or left for Zombie.”

It took them ten minutes to complete the corn maze…with Artie surprised Kurt knew the Zombie question’s answers even when they were too obscure for him and Sam.

“So…Zombies and Country Music…” Artie asked as they relaxed next to the snack shack by the parking lot.

“I had a zombie phase in 8th grade and county music is one of the top music choices at the garage. I also sing some mean Dixie Chicks.” Kurt said. “When can we head home?”

Sam laughed. “When everyone else exits the maze.”

Kurt sighed. “I’m pretty certain I’m developing a rash. Cover-up will not conquer hives.”

Artie laughed. “And he’s back.”

Kurt stuck his tongue out at Artie and the conversation turned to the Muppet Show, of all things.

The others started trickling out of the maze in twos and threes and then about half the others who’d run into each other at one point and then figured the more the better. Artie left to hang with Puck and Mike when they got out.

Kurt scratched at his arms and legs and back. Blaine and Sebastian and none of the kids who’d gone into the maze with them were out yet, nor was Finn and Rachel or Santana and Brittany. Quinn was surrounded by Dalton boys who were hanging onto her every word and Tina was by Artie and Mike and Puck.

Sam stuck by Kurt.

“We could just leave them here. Especially Blaine and Sebastian. I was so upset I threw myself onto that damned hay bale and cried on it…and then sat on it because in running from them I got lost and now I’m going to be one huge mass of rash. So we could just leave them here…and they could suffer. And they probably won’t, I mean even though they were near naked on the damn things I bet neither gets a rash…just me…heartbreak and rash. I hate corn mazes. And hay. And I can see pumpkins so I’m even finding myself feeling negative about them…and I love pumpkins.”

Sam pulled Kurt’s hand off his arm…where he was scratching. He took Kurt’s hand in his and just held it.

Kurt stilled and looked at Sam. “If someone sees they might get the wrong impression.” Kurt whispered.

Sam smiled. “I doubt it.”

“Finn will…” Kurt whispered even softer.

“He could, but right now you need a friend and you need to not scratch. This gives you both. I don’t care what Finn thinks…or anyone else. I’d offer a hug but it might make you even more miserable.”

Kurt chuckled. “Probably would. Last time I got like this I had to wear soft worn cotton for a week and a half…and I have just one t-shirt and one pair of lounge pants that will work right now.”

“Was it the hay bales last time?” Sam asked.

“No, it was the actually grass type last time…in some field. It was on a field trip when I was seven. I’ve been on hay bales since and not had any reaction, but those were mostly alfalfa. These must not be mostly alfalfa, but have grass I was irritated by in them.” Kurt sighed.

“You aren’t going to be able to drive home…I could drive for you.” Sam said.

Kurt smiled at him. “I wouldn’t mind that. Finn can’t drive my baby. He’s not allowed. I don’t trust him at all behind the wheel.”

Sam laughed. “I don’t blame you. I fear my life half the time when he drives. Who all did you drive here?”

“Blaine.”

“That was it?” Kurt nodded.

“Does Blaine have his phone on him?” Sam asked.

“He took it with him.”

“Text him that you are heading home and he needs to catch a ride with someone else. I’ll call Finn and tell him Blaine needs a ride home and that we are leaving now. And I’m going to run over and tell Mike. Blaine should be covered with all that.”

“See the blond boy over by Quinn. Tell him as well, he’ll make sure Blaine gets home. Tell him I’m having a reaction to something and have to go.”

Sam took off to talk to Mike and Jeff. Kurt headed to his SUV. He fetched his phone and texted Blaine. He also texted Rachel…and Quinn. The message was simple. ”Bad reaction to something in hay. Need to go home. Sam is going to drive me. Blaine needs to find his own way home.”

Kurt reached behind the driver’s seat and found his ‘emergency’ box. He fetched the mittens from inside. Sam couldn’t drive and hold his hand after all.

Sam was running towards the SUV he turned to head over to the passenger side.

“Done. Finn answered his phone, too…so the message was spoken to him. Are you wearing mittens?” Sam asked.

Kurt nodded. “You can’t exactly hold my hand while driving.”

Sam smiled. “I could try, but that perhaps is for some other time. Climb in and lets head out. Oh, call your dad so he knows, right?”

Kurt called his dad as soon as he was settled.

He scratched the whole time he was on the phone. He even tried to scratch at his arms and side using the hand holding his phone.

The moment he finished talking to his dad, Sam held his hand out for the phone, which he then tucked into the driver’s side door pocket. “Choose a radio station you can listen to the whole drive and then mittens on.”

Kurt sighed and nodded. He pushed on of the preset station buttons and oldies filled the air.

Sam smiled.

The next few hours were filled with singing along with the Everly Brothers and Elvis and to songs like Teen Angel and Leader of the Pack. Kurt asked about Sam’s family and Sam listened as Kurt voiced his worries over everything from NYADA and having enough on his application to Blaine and why he wasn’t enough. And Kurt listened to Sam’s worries about his family’s finances without him there to help and his worries about his studies and the difficulties his dyslexia was causing. Sam convinced Kurt to apply to other schools and to apply in multiple disciplines. Kurt told Sam he would start tutoring him and they’d tackle finding some other help for his dyslexia as well.

And Sam talked about his love life…or lack of…and who he had dated while in Kentucky and the messy break-up right before he came back to Lima…and Tennessee before his first move to Lima. And how it wasn’t always a girl he dated, but the treatment of people had terrified him when he first got to Lima, so he stayed quiet. But that was why Kurt hadn’t upset him or made him uncomfortable when Kurt tried to get him to sing for the Duets competition. And Kurt spoke about how Blaine’s actions had hurt and why…and the episode in the Scandals parking lot and giving in to try to keep Blaine.

“We should hang out together for a while and avoid dating. People come up to us and say…you should start dating again, we should commit to saying ‘no not right now’ and back each other up. I have no need for a girlfriend that will cheat on me again and you have no need for a boyfriend who will cheat on you. I think hanging out and doing things with each other will give us a better chance as staying single.” Sam said. “We will recover from the ridiculousness our last relationships were…allow ourselves to mend from the abusiveness of them...because I think both our last relationship were probably abusive. I mean I’d call what you went through abusive and manipulative.”

“And yours was just as bad, if not worse. I think it was creepy how people let a girl play those games. Who sits by and watches as someone tells another youngster that if they break-up with her she’ll kill herself and it will be there fault?”

“The youth pastor. I think his response when my mother got upset after I told her what was going on and how he told me I couldn’t hurt a girl by breaking her heart like I was by breaking up with her was what made it so my mom was fine with my leaving Kentucky. As far as I know she hasn’t even tried to kill herself…she just talks it when a guy she doesn’t want to break-up with yet breaks it off. But I couldn’t stand it anymore…she was trying to get me to drop art club because there were girls in the club and I might talk to them. She complained about me spending time with Stacie.”

Kurt shuddered.

Sam noticed and looked at Kurt. “That is how I felt when you told me about Blaine and his behavior at Scandals. And then I thought I should have probably told you about his behavior at Dalton after you left, but it was always while they were drunk and I thought maybe you just knew how he got.”

Kurt shook his head. “No…I didn’t even know they partied like that until becoming friends with Jeff on Facebook. I seriously thought that thing at Rachel’s was Blaine’s first party with alcohol. I should have realized it wasn’t when he drank so much but didn’t pass out completely until we got to our place. He almost matched Santana drink for drink. I think your idea has merit, but I warn you…just because I’m not being tossed in the dumpsters or pushed into lockers as much anymore, things still aren’t great. Your reputation might take a hit and who knows what they’ll say about you. You’ll probably be labeled gay.”

Sam sighed. “I let others dictate how I lived my life here last time…this time I think I need to make those calls myself. I cared too much and all I got was cheated on and no one knowing me well enough to know things were bad. Quinn didn’t count because she didn’t know things were bad because she knew me but because of church…her mom was in charge of charity food boxes. I don’t care what they call me…the fact is I have messed around with guys before and liked it and I don’t think it was just because I was at an all-boys school.”

Kurt looked at Sam and smiled. “Ok. We’ll hang out and I’ll keep you from going straight into a relationship with the nutty girls we know who will likely demand it of you and you can distract me from feeling like Blaine’s behavior means that no one could ever really actually like me. We’re almost home. Dad said to drive to the shop and he’ll decide from there where we go. I think a trip to the ER is in my future…and I’ll have to go shopping for things to wear and I won’t even be able to enjoy it.”

“I’ll come shopping with you. Then you will at least have good company. And I won’t even mind if you are grouchy the whole time.” Sam said.

Kurt smiled. “I am glad you are back, Mr. Sam I Am. I missed you.”

“I am glad to be back. I things might be going the right directions for me finally.” Sam replied as he turned into the garage parking lot. Burt exited the shop as soon as the SUV pulled in. “Now let’s see about getting you out of those mittens.”

My 10 Wildlife and Photography highlights of 2018: Post 8-My visit to the Bird Fair

On the 17th August it was great to travel from Hampshire to Rutland for the Bird Fair for our 11th time. Just before reaching Rutland Water’s Egleton reserve where we would first have a bit of time in the fair then as we always do go to Lyndon afterwards it was nice to pass through the villages of Northamptonshire and Rutland especially my two favourites Rockingham and Caldecott, Rockingham in particular I often have dreams about going through just before reaching Bird Fairs which shows how much I love this event and place and I didn’t see either of these villages last year as we stayed somewhere slightly different in a cottage so it was nice to be reunited with them in a sense.

The first thing we did on arrival in the fair was the only way for us to start, going to see one of our heroes Simon King who we’ve spoke to and had our picture taken with every Bird Fair. He was so down to earth again and it was wonderful to have a meaningful conversation with him about our trips this year to Scotland and Yorkshire and his work. The next couple of hours or so were spent around the fair doing different bits and seeing many more delightful people as we did the whole day. One of which was one of our Heatherlea guides from the January Scotland trip. Whilst we only spent two days with him you really got to know him in that time so I really enjoyed our catch up with him. Next attention at the fair turned to wildlife, as we went to the BTO ringing demonstration we always enjoy we were thrilled to see a Garden Warbler shown in the 1st picture in this photoset a very special bird we don’t often see looking beautiful as they ringed and released it. We would then walk around the hides and on the way to our first saw my first Southern Hawker dragonflies briefly this year. This ensured my dragonfly and damselfly year was my highest ever.

When we came out of the first hide I was overjoyed to get a cracking view of my first Osprey this trip and this year flying very close over our heads, shown in the 2nd picture in this photoset. It felt brilliant to see this the main star of my Bird Fair every year and a bird I have a deep deep bond with, my 21st of my 24 favourite birds seen this year. But it also took my year list to 178 a very important figure as being one above my 2014 total it made 2018 my third highest ever year list at the time. This is amazing for me as obviously I have so much respect for the amount of birds I saw four years ago and to beat this means it must be a pretty big year for me but to do it soon again as I’ve said a lot about milestones this year is just simply phenomenal for me. This was also the second Bird Fair running where on ceremony a year list became my third highest ever at as my 2017 previous record surpassed my considerably less 168 joint total of 2013 and 2015. What happened next in the Goldeneye hide (a view just before it the 3rd picture in this photoset) will go down as one of my greatest ever Bird Fair and birding moments. We had heard a Red-necked Phalarope had been around and we saw this amazing little bird flit and fly about at not too great a distance. I felt so good to see this bird as it was my first ever and I think this is genuinely one of the rarest birds I’ve seen in my life I feel so lucky. It was my 257th bird in my life and 7th new bird this year one more than last year.

We saw it fly up with Common Terns a lot because a Peregrine got them up and the Peregrine and a Kestrel seen at Egleton with Red Kite and another of my favourite birds the Buzzard seen on the journey up on roadsides made a decent amount of raptors seen that day at five in my big year of birds of prey. I also saw five of my favourite birds with Osprey and Buzzard joined by Great Crested Grebe, Little Egret and Shelducks seen well at Rutland Water that day. We then moved onto Lyndon reserve where we always visit on our first day up here. We came across some noisy sheep including the one in the 4th picture in this photoset which was interesting. In the far hide it was great to see an Osprey on the nesting posts again and spend precious time with this favourite bird of mine. A third Little Ringed Plover seen for me this year was also a nice bird to see.

We came into the fair the second day and the morning as well as brief visits later in the day were dominated by watching the BTO ringing demonstration which we always love doing. It was interesting seeing species we’ve never seen ringed there like Reed Bunting, Blackcap, Moorhen, Long-tailed Tit and Treecreeper. But the highlight for me was seeing a few Sedge Warblers like the one in the 5th picture in this photoset throughout the day. Taking a picture of one in this demonstration in 2011 helped it become one of my favourite birds and that year I also took a picture of a Garden Warbler here which seeing one here the day before was a big highlight so it was nice to look back too. Anticipation built in the morning though as two strong and big birds tussled in the bags and my thoughts were confirmed as the ringer pulled out a Song Thrush and a Blackbird which was really interesting to see ringed.

Then we went into the Events Marquee where we first saw the Remembering Wildlife books talk which was really powerful. The king of powerful talks Chris Packham came on next with Ruth Peacey and it was sickening to hear tales from Malta again but slightly more positive with Cyprus to hear the Police and army are taking speedy action against the hunters now. Next Chris, Gary Moore and others touched on men’s mental health and wildlife and used Gary’s strong Nightingale film from Springwatch and we then closed our eyes to hear and “feel” their iconic song being played to us which I did really feel. Chris also presented Bird Fair hero Tim Appleton one of the people behind it all with a present for the 30th anniversary, shown in the 6th picture in this photoset. The next two talks were two of my heroes Iolo Williams and Simon King raising some important conservation and other topics. Iolo we had not seen on the stage before and he was incredibly funny it was honestly like listening to a standup comedian the way he worked the audience and I told him that when we were lucky enough to meet him, Jonathan Scott as shown with us in the 7th picture in this photoset and David Lindo after getting out of the tent and wandering around and all were very down to earth again. Simon’s talk touched on the spirit of Bird Fair after 30 years and he even mentioned our conversation with him the day before about getting a picture with him 11 years running and measuring my height by them which was surreal. It was also nice that he mentioned a place we visited this year for the first time and as I said in my butterfly post the other day was a key part of my year Knepp and a favourite local reserve of ours Radipole Lake. The last show we saw in the tent was an ever engaging and key part of Bird Fair the Bird Brain of Britain quiz. Day 2 was another very fun day in the fair. I took the 8th picture in this photoset a view from one of the hides.

As we drove in on the final day of the Bird Fair I savoured views of Rockingham and Caldecott and other villages for the last time this year, also admiring a Red Kite over Caldecott a bird we had enjoyed on the way to all three of our days in the Bird Fair which we haven’t really seen before, it’s nice to know they’re doing well in the area. Our first talk that day was Bill Oddie hosting questions from the audience to a panel in ‘Ask the Experts’. I then did my first of two stints of hide birdwatching of the day taking in hides south of the fair which I feel I covered a good variety of compared to more recent Bird Fairs this year. Highlights from these were seeing my second Garganey this year joining my club of my rarer 2018 birds I saw again and not for the first time and a luxurious chance to see Osprey and the Red-necked Phalarope again.

We then went into to see the ‘Birdless Pointbrain’ quiz which I was intrigued to see. Hosted by Mike Dilger it brilliantly mimicked the hit BBC One show with eventual heroic three pointless answer grabbing winner Bill Oddie, Nigel Marvin and other celebrities paired up with Bird Fair volunteers. Some of the contestants can be seen in the 9th picture in this photoset. This was one of the most enjoyable quizzes I’ve seen at Bird Fair for years. Then it was into the hides north of the site where again building on what I did last year we explored a greater depth of the hides than previous years. I think this is a big point of us doing all three days at Bird Fair. We’ve done all sorts of variations of visiting the fair before sticking for many years with Friday to travel and see Ospreys, Tree Sparrows and co. at Lyndon and Saturday and Sunday in the fair. But this year with Lyndon on Friday too and bits of each day in the fair it gave me the perfect balance between sitting in the events marquee, birdwatching, wandering around the fair and watching the BTO ringing demonstration. Highlights from the second hide stint were a third Ruff for me this year a big bird for Bird Fairs seeing my first in my first ever one in 2008, my first Ruddy Darter of the year a dragonfly I had before and had hoped to see again at Rutland Water and a Little Grebe staying up longer than I had ever seen one do before which was funny shown in the 10th and final picture in this photoset.

This drew a packed and amazing three days to a close I didn’t think I could top my 10th consecutive year last year with us staying in the area longer and brilliant bird year ticks and top wildlife moments and meeting lots and lots of celebrities on ceremony for the big anniversary. But something that reminds me why I keep coming to Bird Fair after 11 times and counting is you never know what big moment and memory you will have and I think seeing my first ever Red-necked Phalarope will always take beating it’s in a different league completely to many birds I have seen at Rutland Water before. The Ospreys one of my favourite birds just kept on giving for moments for me and it was one of the best three days of ringing demonstrations I’d seen a key part of my Bird Fairs. But I think this year as much as anything this was the Bird Fair we engaged with so many people and for a socially awkward person that is big because I enjoyed it and I felt at home and accepted among the people I was talking to which was very nice.
