As it turns out Nathaniel did not actually make his appearance for twenty more minutes and what an arrival it was. Both he and my soon to be blond step sister came stumbling in and I could easily smell the alcohol and pot from across the room. It was apparent to everyone they had started the party early. Blair who had decided to skillfully avoid further conversation with me had been gossiping with a group of her mindless followers across the room and I saw her tense as she caught sight of them. The pair was laughing about something and a scowl crossed the queen's face before she managed to hide it by replacing with a plastic smile. I could tell this wasn't the first time she had been put in this type of situation.

"Chuck man you made it!" While I had been busy watching Blair Nate had made his way over to me or well technically he had stumbled his way over with Serena at his side. I could see Dan Humphrey who had arrived a few minutes before them watching from his dark corner. I smirked at his discomfort and knew that I would enjoy this evening. "You should have been with Serena and I. We decided to have a few drinks to loosen up before we had to come to this tight ass party, but apparently my girlfriend has been kidnapped by aliens because this party isn't actually half bad. People were texting about for the past hour and we decided that we should show up. Where is Blair man and how pissed is she?"

"Why would I be angry Nate?" Blair asked from behind him. She had on her plastic smile while she sipped from her champagne glass. "I've been having a great time actually and I had no idea that you weren't even here yet. Chuck has been keeping me company and I have to say now I see why you want to be friends with him. Did you and S have a good time? I would sure hope you did, but S I think that maybe you forgot about something arriving from Brooklyn for you. It's been here for a bit and I think you should probably go and find it wouldn't you agree?"

Serena let her eyes widen as her hand flew to her mouth and she pushed away from Nathaniel. "Oh my god! I forgot that Dan was supposed to meet me here. My mom and I had a fight and it got out of hand and Nate wanted to help me out. I hope he isn't too upset."

My soon to be step sister rushed off to find her boyfriend and Blair gave Nate a look telling him how upset she was before turning and walking in the other direction without another world. Her boyfriend sighed before chasing after and I was left alone, but that was fine by me because I noticed that Serena had just found her boyfriend and it was probably time that I introduced myself. With a smirk I walked towards them.

"Sis I was worried about you when you were so late." I stated in mock concern as I slung my arm around her shoulder making sure my fingers brushed against the bite marks on her neck only Humphrey and I could see. "So this must be the famous Dan I have heard all about. We probably should have met before officially, but it seems every time I see you in my home you are half dressed and sneaking out. Be grateful my father hasn't caught you yet. He doesn't take well to intruders he has yet to meet. I'm Chuck Bass and I am sure that Serena has told you all about me considering we spend a lot of quality time together being we share living arrangements. I must tell you that your girlfriend has been very helpful with all of my needs."

"Chuck what have I told you about touching?" Serena stated in a disgusted tone of voice and she pulled my around from around her. "Don't you have someone else you could torture? Where is your little girlfriend or did you tire of her already?"

"Penelope is on vacation with her parents this week so that means I am free to spend quality family time with my only sister." I set my arm around her shoulder again as I eyed Dan who was growling low in his chest so the humans would not hear. "For the record, Penelope is not my girlfriend because I am Chuck Bass and Chuck Bass does not do girlfriends. Well wait I take that back. I have done plenty of girls who played the role of girlfriend to their boyfriends while they were away. Anyways, who says that I am not waiting for you to dumb the Brooklyn parasite and get with me? You know they say that incest is best."

"Chuck you know that-" She never got to finish what she had been saying because the second her eyes locked with mine I entered her mind and cut off her train of thought. In this moment I could probably get her to do anything that I wanted, but why ruin the game this early? I could take my time tormenting Humphrey and besides that I heard a fight coming from upstairs and good dose of verbal violence always brightened my day. So all I did was implant a thought in to her mind that she did not hate me and in fact thought of me as her favorite brother. I took her feelings for Eric and put them with my image in her mind. It would only last for a couple of hours, but still it would serve its purpose. It would show her boyfriend who the real vampire in this room happened to be. "You know that your my favorite brother. I don't understand why we haven't spent more time together. We will have to rectify that this weekend. We should have a movie day or something."

"It would be my honor." I said smoothly kissing the back of her hand before shooting a look of triumph at her boyfriend from Brooklyn before walking off.

After I had made my exit I from Serena I made my way upstairs and down a long hallway. I could hear raised voices coming from what I assumed to be Blair's room. I stopped by the bathroom door so that I could listen. If someone were to catch me I could claim I had been going to the bathroom. I may not be able to see Nathaniel and Blair clearly through the crack in the door, but it was better than nothing and my vivid imagination could fill in what I could not see. As mentioned earlier I loved a good fight and I was betting that Blair could be a firecracker when she was angry. I was simply going to sit back and enjoy the show Nathaniel's ignorance had provided for me.

"You're overreacting Blair." My blond friend's voice was strained with obvious annoyance. He did not sound at all sorry and that may become is downfall because the way he acted she had every right to be pissed. I was known for causing a scene and yet my behavior tonight had been levels better than his which really was saying something. "Serena was upset over the fight she had with her mom and I thought I would take her out for a few drinks to help her calm down."

"Why couldn't she have those drinks here?" Blair said in extremely scary calm voice that even chilled me to the bone and I am a vampire which is saying something. "Serena fights with her mother all the time and you are always there for her no matter the promises you have made to other people and other obligations. I needed you here tonight Nate. You promised me that you would be here and yet guess who kept me company all night? Chuck Bass ended up being my evening companion because you were too busy playing boyfriend to a girl that already has a boyfriend instead of being an actual boyfriend to your girlfriend!"

"I'm here now Blair." He responded and I could picture him running his hands through his hair. "It's just another party. You host them all the time. Serena needed a friend and I was there for her."

"When are you going to be there for me?" Her voice broke at the end. "When I am going to be the most important person in your life for one night? I've stood by your side for years through the good and the bad and yet Serena is the one you devote yourself to. Do you have any idea how it makes me feel every time you push me to the side for her? Do you even care? I thought I was doing everything right."

"Blair I am with you aren't I?" I could hear the moving of fabric and assumed they had both sat on the bed. "I am not dating Serena I am dating you."

"Because it is expected of you." Blair responded and I could smell the salty tears she was threatening to spill yet trying so hard to hold in. "I told you that I loved you and you haven't said it back. I let it go thinking you weren't ready, but you haven't ever said it to me. I love you Nathanial Archibald, I always have and I always will. Yet I know that love can only take you so far. I can't be the only one fighting for this relationship anymore. I am so tired of doing all the work. Do you love me too or are we wasting our time?"

"I-" I already knew what he was going to say before the words even left his mouth and for the first time I actually hated him. How could he not see what was right in front of his eyes? Was the fact he was human blinding him to what an amazing woman he had at his side? If Blair were mine we would quickly rise to power and take over whatever we wanted. We would be unstoppable. "I need time to figure things out Blair. Everything is so confusing. Our parents are always pushing our futures on us and it is not fair to both you and me if we stay together without knowing for sure if it is because we belong together or because we are too scared of our parents to do anything else."

Silence echoed around until finally the brunette spoke again. Her voice was strong and confident as I heard her stand and take a few steps towards the door. "Fine if you want time then don't let me stand in your way. I have a party to host and since you and I are no longer together you are officially uninvited."

"Blair-" He started to say, but she cut him off.

"I said I have a party to host and you need to leave. While you are leaving I suggest you find Serena and take her with you. Maybe you can continue your fun filled evening together. I am sure Dan Humphrey would be happy to accommodate you while you figure things out. I on the other hand don't have time for your games. I know who I am and what I want and when you figure it out then you can talk to me, but until then don't bother."

I heard Nathaniel sigh as he stood up and headed towards the door. I stood back in the shadows of the bathroom until he passed and stomped down the stairs. When I was sure he was gone I came out of my hiding spot and headed towards Blair's room. I have no idea why I was bothering, but I felt compelled to make sure she was alright. I could hear soft sobs coming from the room and for some unknown reason I wanted to check on her. I wanted to be there for her. Odd as it may sound I found myself drawn to Blair. She was just like me only in human form. With a sigh I got ready to push the door open. I was sure that my presence would not be a welcome one.

AN: I know there really was not any Chair interaction in this chapter, but I think that it turned out alright. You all have to remember that this story is going to dark in some places and in others not so much. Blair and Chuck will have a forbidden affair and things will play out very interestingly at least I think they will. For those of you who may think that I am going to be moving Chuck and Blair along too quickly you have to remember that Blair just had her heart broken and Chuck is there. Anyways, let me know if you all liked this or not.

Please R&R like always!
