Sorry if you think this chapter is weird but I'm writing it at 2 in the morning listening to Owl City which btw is amazing and you all show diffidently listen to him. I'll stop shoving my views down your throats and let you read.

"What are we going to do about Carter?" Blair asked.

"Write down: Pro's and Con's of dumping Carter's body in the nearest river and or lake." Nate instructed Blair.

"Nate, how is that going to help?"

"It'll make me feel a hell of a lot better." Nate mumbled to himself. It was all Carter's fault.

He quickly thought of Serena. The girl he loved. The girl fate kept telling him he couldn't have. The girl he wanted most of all. He thought of her being held captive by some man that didn't even deserve to know she existed.

He needed her back. He needed to find her and then even if he couldn't have her he could still talk to her. He could still hear her laugh, he could still look into her perfect blue eyes, he could still dance to no music with her while snow fell all around them.

"Natie, come on!" Serena giggled as she pulled him by his arm out into the crisp cold air.

"Serena it's cold out here." He complained looking at her dancing around while white snowflakes fell gently from the sky.

"You know none are the same." She told him holding her hand out and catching a few that quickly melted.

"I've heard that before." He told her truthfully as he joined her sticking out his hand too.

She started twirling around again and he watched her as she did her best to pirouette and sache around the yard.

"May I have this dance Ms. Van der Woodsen?" Nate asked bowing and extending his hand.

"It would be my honor Mr. Archibald." She told him and took his hand. He placed his other hand on her hip. Taking the lead he twirled and dipped her at all the appropriate times while she giggled and he laughed.

That was before everything became complicated. Before he dated Blair,before Serena became the It Girl, and before the Sheppard wedding.


"Chuck will you stop pacing it's giving me a migraine?" Blair asked rubbing her temple with her index finger.

It had been three hours and they had nothing. Chuck was debating whether or not to call the shady criminal and confirm their suspicions; Nate was bent on making sure Carter didn't wake up, and Blair just wanted her best friend so she could complain about how stupid they were both being.

They had no plan. No idea how they were going to get her best friend back. This kind of shit wasn't supposed to happen to people like them. Their biggest worry was supposed to be if their manicure matched their dress or if they looked fat in said dress.

She sighed and looked down at her neatly written and perfectly organized list.

Pros: Lily and Bart are on vacation for three weeks; Spring Break for two more weeks

Cons: Serena has been taken by ruthless criminals; they have no plan; Nate has officially lost his mind and is bent on killing Carter; Chuck is useless and lost in deep thought; Eric has no idea his sister has been abducted; There is a possibility we might be arrested by the end of the week

"Chuck!" She practically screamed and he quickly turned to her dazed as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Call that guy. Find out what he wants and then give it to him. Whatever it is, tell him he can have it. I just want my friend back."

Chuck nodded and left the room with his phone.

"I know! Blair do you have a shovel?" Nate asked as if it were the most normal question on earth.

"Nate will you stop trying to think of ways to kill me?" A voice asked and Blair turned around to see Carter standing in the doorway leaning on it for support.

"Good you're awake. You know where the exit is. I expect I don't have to show you out." Blair said coldly even though she was secretly glad he wasn't dead.

"Forget it Waldorf, I'm not leaving until I know Serena is safe. It's my fault she's in this mess and I swear I'll get her out of it." He told her limping over and sitting in the chair next to her.

"Carter leave!" Nate yelled.

"Make me Archibald." Carter said threateningly.

"Fine." Nate replied standing up ready for a fight knowing Carter had no chance of winning.

"No. There will be no fights in my house." Blair said which was followed by silence.

Finally Blair asked, "Do you both love Serena?" They both nodded as their reply. "Do you want her back?" She asked and they both nodded again. "Then turn to each other because for the next I don't know how many days you two are best friends. I can't deal with another Baizen Archibald feud right now do you understand me?"

"Fine." Nate agreed reluctantly which was followed by a "Sounds fun." From Carter.


Chuck held the phone to his ear and tried to wait patiently for someone to answer. It was his fault they were all in this mess. Nate could blame himself or Carter all he wanted but everyone knew, whether they wanted to admit it or not, it was his fault.

"What do you want?" the man who answered the phone asked.

"Hello Henry, I think we might have had a misunderstanding the other night when we talked." Chuck informed him. "When I said Carter couldn't be killed I was under the impression that your problem was with Crater and Carter only."

"It is. As a matter-o-fact I handled it not too long ago." Henry replied.

"And how did you handle it Henry?" Chuck asked.

"Beat the shit out of the bastard and took his pretty girl friend as incurrence. Now he has no choice but to give me that money."

Chuck's heart sank and any hope he had faded away in an instant.

"Did you hurt the girl?" Chuck asked needing to know his step-sister was alright.

"I wasn't going to but she wouldn't stop screaming so I had to take care of the situation." Henry answered.

"What did you do?" Chuck asked sounding more desperate then intended.

"Relax, I hit her in the head with a bat but it wasn't too hard. Just enough to knock her out for a couple of hours. Why do you care? From what it sounded like, you hated that guy." He informed Chuck.

"Don't touch her again! If you so much as lay a hand on her I swear you'll be spending the next 25 years of your life in jail!" Chuck growled angrily.

"You're filled with all these threats but I don't even know who you are." Henry said.

"I'm Chuck Bass and you just make the biggest mistake of your miserable life."

Don't forget to review. You're choice Carter or Nate? Last chance to vote before I make my final decision.
