After a quick shower I redressed quickly and headed to my soon to be sister's bedroom. I did not bother knocking since it wasn't my style, but I did take a moment to listen in order to ensure she was alone. The last thing I need was to walk in on her and the wannabe vampire Dan Humphrey going at it, though I am pretty sure that if I did catch them in an intimate moment I would be able to give him a few pointers I am sure Serena would thank me for later. After I was sure she did not have any late night visitors I twisted the knob and pushed the door open. As expected a magazine came flying towards my head which I easily dodged.

"I have told you that if you feel the need to come in to my room you needs to knock." Serena snapped not bothering to look at me as she flicked through the channels on her television with her remote control. "How would you feel if I came in to your room without permission?"

"Come on sis you know you love me." I replied with a smirk as threw myself next to her on the bed. "Besides, if you came in to my room without permission I would feel the need to punish, but I would make sure you enjoyed it so you do not have to worry about that. I didn't come to talk to you about how much you want me. I have a different mission in mind. What can you tell me about Blair?"

Serena finally clicked her television off and turned to look at me. I could tell she was confused as to why I was asking about Blair and surprisingly enough she seemed to be slightly jealous. It made sense if you thought about it considering she was used to being in the limelight and when I asked about Blair it took the spotlight off of her and unbalanced her perfect world. I would have to tread careful when it came to the subject of Blair. I wanted to wait until I had no choice to glamour her and the one drawback of this meant I actually had to be careful how I acted and worded certain things.

"Well Blair is Blair and that is all you really need to know." She stated and I thought I may have to use the glamour sooner than expected, but right out of the blue she started speaking once again. "She has always been the way she is. She is driven and knows what she wants. When we were kids she talked about going to Yale. She has her life set out in front of her. She will go to Yale like her father, marry Nate, and when they are ready she will start a family with him. Blair always gets what she wants by working for it."

I filed that information away for later use. "So she and Nate are a sure thing? They have never dated or been interested in other people?"

My soon to be step sister had no idea I knew about she and Nate and if I hadn't known before I would be suspicious now with the way her cheeks turned red and her eyes shot downward. It was obvious she had a secret she did not want getting out anytime soon. "They have been dating for years and sure they have the occasional rough patch, but they always end up together. Chuck if you are thinking about trying to get Blair in your bed you need to think again because it is not going to happen. She isn't like other girls-"

This is when I cut in. "You mean she isn't like you who will spread your legs for anyone given the right incentive."

Rage took over Serena's usually sweet expression as she reached out to slap me and yet I stopped her from doing so. I rolled us over so that I was on top of her and had her hands pinned above her head. "Get off of me Chuck!"

"Don't worry sis I'm not going to touch you. You are just making this harder than it has to be and so I am going to get the answers I need in a much easier way." I promised grabbing her jaw and forcing her to meet my gaze. Once I had entered her mind I let go of her arms, though I did not move off of her. "Serena I want you to do something for me. Do you think you can be a good little girl for me?"

Her blue eyes were glossy from the trance I had her under. "I'd do anything for you Chuck. I was made to serve you and make sure all your needs are met."

"That's a good girl. Because you are being so good today I won't feed from you tonight. I will let you heal, but because I am bestowing this gift upon you that means you will do what I ask." I said with a smirk as I ran the tips of my fingers up and down the column of her long slender throat. "I need you to tear Nathaniel and Blair apart, but you have to make it seem as if you did nothing. I am not asking you to sleep with Nate because I know you would never want to hurt Dan. All I am asking you to do is tease him. Make Nathaniel unable to resist you and make Blair see his feelings for you. Be the voice that whispers in her ear and makes her fears when it comes to their relationship real. Can you do that for me S? If you do I can promise that when the time comes I keep my father away from you, but if you cannot do it or you fail I will hand you over to him on a silver platter do you understand what I am saying?"

"I am to break Nate and Blair apart. I won't fail you Chuck I swear." She nodded happily and I put the thought of sleep in to her mind and she was gone lost to slumber a few seconds later. Next I would have to move on to stage two even if I was not exactly sure what that was yet. All I knew was it had to do with Blair.

When it came time for school again I cornered Blair before lunch. Rumors had been going around all morning about how she and Nate had made up and for some reason I was enraged. I did not understand what I was feeling or the reasoning behind it. I knew I had an attraction for Blair and I knew she may deny it, but she had an attraction for me as well. Still, a simple attraction did not explain my blind rage at hearing the news they had resumed their relationship. I figured the way to figure out my feelings and why I feeling them would be by talking to the cause of them in the first place.

As soon as I saw her outside with her group of girls nowhere in sight I grabbed her arm and pulled her in to the bushes where we would have some semblance of privacy. "I just wanted to congratulate you on your reunion with Nathaniel. It seems like the space you wanted was more like a crack of space."

The Queen of our high school rolled her eyes before pulling her arm from mine. "I realized after I opened up to you how stupid I had been. Nate and I are meant to be together and we are both teenagers so I cannot expect our relationship to be perfect. I am sure that once we graduate and have started college together everything will be the way it should be."

"You mean everything will be the way your parents want." I corrected in as cold a tone I could muster. She may get her lackeys to believe this shit, but I knew better because we were one in the same only I was more open about it. "I saw you the other night Blair. I saw the real you and not the one you put on display for the rest of the world. I saw the vulnerable girl you really are and yet beyond that I saw the girl you could be if only you let yourself."

Her bottom lip quivered and I could tell she had been thinking the exact same thing. "I have to be the Blair Waldorf everyone expects me to be. I cannot afford to be anything less. I want to be a powerful woman and a powerful woman needs a strong man beside her. I know that Nate can be that kind of man if given the right push. He just needs direction and I am going to do that. I am going to be what I should be because it's expected of me."

I scoffed and crossed my arms. For some reason her answer made me even angrier. "You want to hide who you are. You are going to try so hard to be what everyone expects of you because you think it will make you happy, but you're wrong. The only way you are ever going to be happy is if you let go of all your baggage. Be who you want to be, who you really want to be because if you become like them then you lose what makes you special."

"What you think I should be like you?" She snapped stepping away from me and back in to the sunlight. "Do you think I should drink and smoke pot and sleep with everyone I meet? Is that what you think will make me happy? I am not like you Chuck and never will be nor would I ever want to be. Our little moment of share time was a mistake and you need to forget about it. I am who I want to be end of story."

"I never said that you needed to be like me, but that is because we are already the same. You and I understand each other because we are exactly alike." I told her staying in my spot in the shadows where I belonged even if I was tempted to follow her in to the bright and burning sunlight. "When you tried to read me you were right. You were one hundred percent correct in everything you said and I know that I was right about you. Blair you could be so much more if you just left your childish dreams behind you. You have so much potential and I hate to see you waste it."

"Well I can do whatever I want to do with my life Chuck." Blair told me as she took another step away from flicking her hair over her shoulder. "Look, I appreciate what you did for me by listening and everything, but this what I want. Don't try to screw this up for me. We have a truce for now, but if you try to ruin Nate and me then I will have to retaliate and you haven't seen me on a bad day yet."

"I won't interfere in your life, but I am going to show you what a mistake you are making. I won't let you ruin your life and waste your potential." I told her firmly leaving no room for argument. "I am having a party at Victrola tonight and I hope to see you there. Nate already told me he would be making an appearance and I know that Serena will be there as well. If you show up maybe you will finally realize that the life I live is not as bad as you try to make it out to be."

"I wouldn't bet on it Bass." She called over her shoulder as she hurried off towards her posse of followers.
