Love and Tragedy Come Together
By: BellaDonna1802
Chuck was being anxious of one of his cousins, Katalina Grace Bass, was coming to visit, his other one Ariabella Jade Bass was due in the evening. Katalina and Ariabella were different in a lot of ways, they had the same father, different mothers; if Katalina had any of Jack's blood in her that would spell big trouble for Chuck, he knew that Bella would be if she got mad. Blair was trying her damnest to calm him down.
"Chuck, how bad can Katalina really be? She is just part of Jack, not Jack's doppelganger."
"Blair, if she has just a little bit of Jack in her, she can be just as deadly as Jack is."
Blair gave him a raised eyebrow, "Chuck, my darling Chuck, if you don't calm down, you won't have any fun later when we are alone because I will knock you out. I know we will take her to dinner and then, a show. Maybe after all that she will be too tired to try and take over your world."
Chuck sighed and gave up, "Blair, my love, if she does, I will destroy her as I have everyone else that has ever tried to take over my world. I am just glad that she is not a boy that would be way worse."
"Why is that?" Blair questioned him.
"Well knowing your track record with the Bass men, you never know…"
Without warning, Blair slapped Chuck hard across his chiseled face; through her teeth, she spoke, "Chuck, my love, if you ever say anything like that to me ever again, I will leave you without your favorite body part."
Chuck gulped, "Never, I will never say anything like that to you ever again, I promise." At that moment, the elevator dinged and out came his cousin, Katalina. "Katalina, welcome to the Empire, this is my girlfriend Blair Waldorf."
Katalina went over to Chuck and hugged him, he was in shock; she never ever did anything like this before. "I missed you Chuck, I have. Hello, Blair. Its Kat now, Katalina is so stuffy, and Ariabella goes by Bella or Ari. So what is there around here to do for fun and forget about a show and dinner, I want to go to a club or somewhere fun."
Chuck looked at Blair who looked back at him. "We will see what we can do later. Did you find the accommodations to your satisfaction?"
"Yes, they are perfect. Now, where are all the hot guys? I know that you know some, so where are you hiding them."
"Ummm, I know some, but you can't sleep with them in this hotel!"
"Ummm, I am a guest in this hotel, I can do what the hell I want to do including sleeping with someone in THIS VERY hotel!!"
Blair was in amazement, she had seen Jack and Chuck go back and forth, hell even her and Chuck, but this was a first, him and his cousin; she was nothing like Jack, but a lot alike Chuck. Kat was the female version of Chuck, the thought was scary enough; she didn't know if she wanted to meet Bella now. At that moment, Chuck and Blair best friend, Nate Archibald came out of his bedroom. He was just wearing a pair of black sweatpants and a tight dark blue t-shirt along with his sneakers. Blair saw the look on Kat's face and it didn't escape Chuck either.
Nate stopped dead in his tracks, "Oh, hi, I'm Nate, you are---"
Chuck interrupted Nate. "Dear Nathaniel this is my cousin, Katalina."
"Pleasure to meet you, Katalina; Chuck I will be back later, I have some classes to attend."
"The pleasure was all mine, Nathaniel." She watched as Nate put on his jacket, grabbed his backpack, and was in the elevator. After Nate was gone, "He is yummy, I want him."
Chuck thought quickly on his feet, "He is taken, by our friend, Serena. They are so in love."
Blair looked at Chuck again like he had 12 heads; he looked back at her as if willing her to agree with him, but Serena was her best friend and she knew that Serena was back with Dan. She won't lie. "No, Chuck darling, you are mistaken again, Serena is back with Dan, they are the ones in love. I think that you need a stiff drink, let me get you one then maybe you will get the facts straight." She went over and poured Chuck a drink.
Chuck made an ugly face, "Chuck that is not a good look for you." Kat said to him.
"Yes Chuck, come along." Blair was dragging Chuck out of the room and away from saying anything else. If Kat wanted to be with Nate, it would be up to Nate to decide, not him.
Kat went back down to her room, it was beautiful, and there were plenty of pink roses all over the room, her favorite flower. She decided that she would change out of the Donna Karan suit that she was wearing and put on something fun and comfortable. She took her hair out of the made up bun; letting the waves flow down her back. She was a brunette with big copper brown eyes. She finished up by putting on some fresh makeup. She grabbed her purse and key to the room and out the door she flew. She was there to have fun, not be stuck being stuffy. Her half sister, Ariabella, was due to arrive later that night.
Kat decided to go walking around the park. She sat on the bench and just watched the people go by. She never could do this if she was around her father; Jack Bass was what Bart and Chuck Bass was but a hundred times worse. He was a very cruel man, even to his own daughter. She was 18 almost 19 and she was looking for a way to break free of his grip. She couldn't go out of the house unless it was with Ariabella and someone to make sure that no man would get near her. She was hiding a deep dark secret. One that she never wanted out, she didn't even tell Ariabella.
Since she was 12, her father did to her what he tried to do to Lily, Chuck's now adopted mother. He had been raping his own daughter. She was an object to him, not anything to love, he loved Ariabella more. There were times that she wished that she was dead, she knew not to tell Chuck or anyone else in the Bass family. In a twisted way, she did love her father, but not the way that he was towards her. She had no mother to be there to help watch over her as her mother passed away when she was 9 years old to breast cancer. Jack would often tell Kat that she was the reason why her mother died and that was the hold that he had over her; she wanted to tell someone, but never Chuck or Blair or Ariabella. She was ashamed; for 6 years, she was her own father's sexual toy. She was tearing up when Nate stopped and asked her if she was okay.
"It's Katalina, right? What's wrong?"
"Yes, Katalina or Kat for short, Nathaniel, it's nothing that I can say, nothing."
"You can call me Nate." He went and sat next to her and took her in his arms. "I am a good listener if you want to talk; I promise that I will keep anything that you tell me in confidence."
She looked into his beautiful blue eyes and saw that he was sincere; she cried more on his chest. "I have a deep dark secret, one that Chuck or Blair or even my sister Bella can know of."
"I promise, I do; you can trust me, you can."
She closed her eyes and went to tell him everything."It started when I was 12, my father started to rape me, blaming me for my own mother's death, it wasn't my fault, and she had cancer. He just stopped yesterday, oh Nate; this is horrible, what you must think about me now."
He raised her chin to look into his eyes, "I think that you are a strong and beautiful girl, your father, he needs to be stopped, he will never touch you again, and I won't let him, never again."
"How can you do that? I was lucky enough to be able to come here to see Chuck."
"How long are you in town for?"
"About a month around there I'm not sure."
"We will do this, believe me, and believe in me and what I just said to you."
"I do, I do. Do we have to tell Chuck or Blair or Bella?"
"No, not unless you want to or are ready to tell, it is not my place to tell."
She hugged him tight. "Thank you so much Nate, for listening to me and to promising to be there for me. How can I repay you for your kindness?"
"Well, would you have dinner with me?"
"I would love nothing more than to do that."
"Come on; let's get your face washed and looking pretty as you are."
"I don't feel pretty or attractive."
"Well you are so, let's get going before Chuck or Blair see you and wonder what happened."
"Okay, thank you so much Nate, you don't know what this means to me, but me going to dinner with you, how is that repaying you?"
"Because I was going to ask you to dinner anyway, I really was."
"I would have accepted and if Chuck asks you, you Nathaniel asked me out. He told me that you were taken, Blair corrected him."
"I wanted to be, but she was destined to be with the love of her life, I still am searching for mine."
"I am too, though I don't know who would be mine, I am so damaged."
"Oh come on, you are not so damaged, remember you have to calm down and act like there is nothing on your mind."
"I remember, come on Nate, I have to freshen up, I have a date tonight with a beautiful man who is beautiful inside and out."
"Thank you, Kat, you are beautiful too."
They walked into the hotel and she went upstairs to her room. She ran and took a hot shower, washing everywhere that she could. She finally came out to get ready. She put the sides of her hair up in a clip, put soft makeup on her face, a bit of perfume, and a nice blue minidress with kitten heels. She was ready to see what would happen if anything with the gorgeous Nate Archibald.
