By the time I finally made it back to Lily's penthouse after stopping at my favorite corner for a bite to eat from one of my regular call girls, I was ready to sleep. I had to admit that I was actually exhausted from my day and if I wanted to spend the day with Blair tomorrow teaching her a thing or two about how to please a man then I should probably rest up while I could. Well that had been my intention until I walked in to the living room of the penthouse only to find my soon to be step sister passed out on the couch and her boyfriend from Brooklyn sitting in a chair next to her obviously waiting for me. Daniel Humphrey looked up from his book when he heard me enter and I smirked. This should be interesting indeed.

"Humphrey if you have come to threaten me in to not drinking from Serena I am here to tell you that you've wasted your time." I told him letting my eyes flicker over the blond passed out on the couch. "I know that are new to this whole vampire territory considering you would rather live with humans so I will clear it up for you. You really should appreciate everything I am doing for you when it comes to Serena. You see I am older and more powerful than you so my mark will keep other vampires away for the most part. If you had been raised in our world you would know how dangerous it is to have a human pet and not mark them. It tells others of our kind that the human is worth tasting and if you don't mark them they are free for the taking. You should count yourself lucky that I got to her first before my father. Bart Bass tends to a lot more than simply drink from young human women. He could always challenge me and he probably will in the future, but for now she is under my protection and that means you really don't want to piss me off because if you make me angry it won't be you I hurt if you get my meaning."

The wannabe vampire glanced at his girlfriend as his left hand balled in to a fist crumpling a page of the book he had been reading when I arrived. "If you lay a finger on Serena I swear that I will-"

I bared my teeth and growled at him. "You'll do what exactly? The answer is nothing. You will not do anything to me because there is not anything you can do. It must tear you apart knowing that I could do whatever I wanted with her and you could not do a damned thing to stop it."

"I love her and if I have to I will take her away from here." He threatened and when I smirked his expression melted in to a frown. "I did not come here to talk about Serena. I came here to speak to you about Blair Waldorf. I know what you were doing with her tonight I can smell it all over you and even though I may not particularly care about her I know that Serena loves her like a sister and Nate cares about her. I am here asking you to leave her alone."

Well I was surprised that Humphrey was actually bringing up Blair. What I did with the Queen Bee was my business not his. "Let me inform you of something Hum-drum-Humphrey. I don't have to tell you anything. On the vampire hierarchy I am somewhere near the top and you are lower than the bottom. I answer to nobody especially not you. The only reason I haven't disposed of you is for the mere fact that you amuse me at times. It's much more fun screwing with you than simply killing you. I suggest that if you want your human father to stay alive and your sister to remain untouched that you back off and stay out of my business because if I feel that you are messing with anything in my life I will make yours a living hell and trust that is something I am really good at since I've had years of practice."

As I had expected he quickly backed down and slammed his book closed. "You know I thought that maybe there was a part of you that could be considered human, but apparently I was wrong. Do you want to know why I prefer humans over vampires? Humans may have their faults and yet for each fault they make up for it with something unique. They have the capacity to love and forgive. They have the ability to do so much and sure they make mistakes, but that is what makes them human. For all of their faults I would still choose to live in their world than in yours. If you care at all about Blair then just leave her alone because you will never be able to give her what she wants or needs."

"When I want your advice I will ask for it." I snapped waving my hand in the direction of the door. I was already bored of this conversation and felt no need to continue talking about it. "You should probably leave before my father and Lily return. You wouldn't want him to take his anger at your presence out on your little human would you? Don't worry I will look out for her while you are off in Brooklyn trying to play human."

With an evil smirk I strolled over to where Serena was sleeping and moved some hair away from her neck letting my bite mark show. Running my fingers over the wound I glanced at Daniel. "She looks good wearing my mark doesn't her? I may just have to add a few more to the collection. Have a pleasant night and if you try to get in to my private life again Serena will bear the consequences. You have yet to see my bad side."

TBC…

AN: I felt inspired to write a little tense moment between Chuck and Dan. I would love to hear your thoughts on it like always. The next chapter will be either Serena/Blair or Blair/Chuck you let me know in a review.

Please R&R like always!
