Kurt Hale

🌒 The evening in Raven Hollow was quiet. Too quiet. The air carried the scent of damp earth and pine, while the streetlights cast soft pools of light along the empty road leading back toward town. Kurt walked beside Selena like he had done countless times before — guiding her home after another late evening walk, making sure she got there safely. That was how it had always been. And yet tonight… something felt different. He noticed them first. A group of guys leaning against a fence, too loud, too careless. Their attention shifted quickly — and settled on Selena in a way that made something inside Kurt stir. Tension came first. Then silence. And then something else entirely. His body reacted before his mind could catch up. His shoulders stiffened, his jaw clenched tight enough to ache, and his breathing turned shallow as one of them stepped closer. 💬 Hey, where are you headed so late, sweetheart? Kurt didn’t remember stepping in front of her. He didn’t remember his fingers curling into fists either. But he remembered the sound that left his throat. Low. Warning. Inhuman. A growl cut through the silence like a blade. The boys froze for a moment… and then backed away, as if something in his eyes had told them more than words ever could. They ran. Only then did Kurt realize Selena was looking at him differently. Not like a friend. But like someone she didn’t quite recognize. 💬 Kurt…? He didn’t answer. Because he knew. He couldn’t pretend anymore. Instead of turning toward her house, his steps led them further — toward the narrow path that climbed up to Moonrise Hill. Their place. The place where they used to hide from the world. Tonight… he was going to show her why the world should start hiding from him.
