Chapter 4
Everyone on the Upper East Side was genuinely shocked and surprised when Queen Blair left. Even Gossip Girl was caught off guard by the departure. Even she couldn't find a scoop, neither could Chuck's PI. They searched for ten years, they waited for a reason, but she never came. It was like the Blair Waldorf they knew had just disappeared. Their efforts to get to Eleanor were wasted; she never got back to them. Serena wondered what could possibly be the reason for Blair's surprise arrival, she found herself involved in a plot that was very Blair Waldorf esque. Serena, Dan, Vanessa and Nate had dropped of the kids with Lily and had taken to the streets of Manhattan. Serena felt her heart beat quicken as they approached Constance.
"Wait!" said Vanessa, they all turned around to look at her. "Isn't this where we get into position, or at least revise our plan?"
"Oh," said Serena "Your right, I've just been so caught up in this." They crossed the street and sat at a park bench.
"I should leave, just in case there's any students' waiting for me" said Dan. Dan kissed Serena and hurried off into the school.
"So we just wait for her until a limo comes?" asked Vanessa.
"Not just any limo, it's a Waldorf limo, they are easy to spot," whispered Nate. Vanessa craned her neck around and surveyed the park.
"Guys…" said Vanessa.
"What" whispered Serena and Nate.
"Put on your glasses and turn 65 degrees to your right" said Vanessa as she stood up and walked away. The plan was, that if they spotted the girl, they would 'act natural' and spread out.
Serena could not believe her eyes, there was a girl, no older than fifteen, that looked exactly like Blair, walking alongside Dorota. Serena waited till the two of them got closer.
"Why doesn't mom come and see me off to school, she used to do that back home, and she even went to this school before" said Audrey.
Serena noticed the British accent in Audrey's voice, she could see Nate walking a few meters behind them.
"Well Ms. Audrey, Mrs. Blair has a lot of memories from here that she would like to keep secret," said Dorota.
"Why won't she talk about them, she's told me everything else, including things about daddy?" asked Audrey.
"That's just the way Miss Blair's been for a long, long time "said Dorota.
"we're here. Thanks Dorota" said Audrey and hugged Dorota.
"Goodbye Ms. Audrey, have a good day!" said Dorota. She waived at the little girl and left.
Serena met up with Nate and Vanessa back at the park bench. "She looks a lot like Blair, but has a much more calmer personality" said Serena. Vanessa and Nate nodded. "She was born in England, that's for sure."
"Well, where do we go from here?" asked Nate.
"The place that Blair loves the most I guess…" said Serena.
"You think she'll actually be there?" asked Vanessa.
"We'll wait and see" said Serena.
"Dorota you're back!" said Bair as she watched the nanny walk in.
"Ms. Audrey reached there on time, and in perfect condition Mrs." Replied Dorota.
"Well I'm going to go to the park, and feed some ducks," said Blair, and grabbed a pack of sliced bread.
"Do you need me to come with you?" asked Dorota.
"Ummm, no, I'll be fine" said Blair as she neared the door.
"Alright, bye Miss Blair" said Dorota.
Blair entered the streets of the Upper East Side, confident as she was once before. This was truly her home, and no matter what her mother and her husband tried to tell her, it was where she belonged. Central Park was no far from the house; Blair loved the feeling of the cool breeze it gave during the fall. She sat on the bench, closest to the pond and sighed. If only life could be like this, she thought to herself, just beautiful and steady.
Serena could recognize those dark brown curls anywhere. She had wanted to talk to her best friend, ask her why she left, well she already knew why. Serena, Nate and Vanessa approached Blair slowly and quietly. Serena tapped Blair on her shoulder.
"Yes" Blair turned her head around, and then her face was full in shock. "I knew this would happen eventually."
"it's really her" Nate said quietly.
"Well who the hell else would I be?" said Blair.
