One thing about being a vampire is the fact I never had to worry about getting sick. Diseases that effected vampires were few and far between. While they did exist there hadn't been an outbreak in over a hundred years or so. As far as I knew they were mostly extinct. I was glad for it because if vampires had to go to hospitals it would be a sad for our species. I detested hospitals which smelled like death and medication. You would think that being a vampire I liked the smell of death, but on the contrary I preferred the scent of life and blood. Death was disgusting and left a bitter taste in my mouth. It also gave me the feeling of wanting to vomit or at least I think that is what the feeling was.

"Chuck!" I stood up as I saw my soon to be stepsister, Lily, Eric, my father, and Nate heading towards me at a rush. My father had a scowl on his face since he could read my mind and so he knew what happened. I noticed he had used glamour on all of them much in the same way I had done with the doctors attending to Blair. They all thought she had fallen and hit her head which is what caused the blood loss. "Where is she? Is Blair going to be alright? Has she woken up yet? I read once that the longer a person is out the less likely it is they will wake up."

"I am not sure if she is awake or not." I replied running my fingers in my hair. "The doctors won't tell me anything because I am not family. I tried telling them that her mother is out of the country and that her father lives in France, but they won't listen. That maid of hers, Dorota, is trying to get in contact with Harold since her mother can't be reached. Lily do you think you could talk to them and explain the situation?"

"Of course I will go now and see what I can find out." My soon to be stepmother headed off to the front desk with Eric following behind her.

Nathaniel was looking at me with suspicion before it changed to an expression of gratefulness. "I am glad you found her Chuck. Whose knows what would have happened had you not been there. It could have been a while before anyone stumbled upon her."

"Yeah who knows?" I muttered feeling guilt well up in the pit of my stomach before I tried to push it away. I would not feel guilty for doing what was in my nature. I shouldn't have to feel guilty over it and yet I did.

My father had never taken his eyes off of me even as he addressed the others he is stayed glued on me and I knew whatever happened next wouldn't be good. With my father it never was. "Why don't you two go and see what Lily has found out while I speak to my son in private for a moment."

I waited until Nate and Serena disappeared down the hall before addressing my father. "What was it you wanted to speak to me about Sir?"

"As soon as you called I should have known that I would have to clean up after one of your messes again. I always do and I shouldn't have expected that to change." Bart snapped his anger rolling over me in waves. "I never should have thought you would grow up. You are to go home and pack your bags. Jack will be here tomorrow evening to pick you up. You are going to go back and stay with him until a time when I return and figure what to do with you."

I couldn't believe what he was saying. Bart was going to send me away? Any other time I wouldn't care and never would I dare stand up to him, but this time was different. I had important things here and friends as well. More importantly I had Blair and I would be damned if I just let my father send me away. I never asked for his help and I didn't want nor did I need it. I could handle this situation on my own. I had taken care of myself for years and he only ever offered what he called his help when I was in trouble which I'll admit was quite often, but that wasn't the point. The point is that I am not going to let him send me away like trash, not this time around.

"No." I spoke the one word with a conviction I had never used before especially when it came to my father.

The look on his face told me how surprised he was that I had actually stood up to him. "What did you say to me Charles?"

I straightened my shoulders looking him right in the eye, another thing I did not do very often. "Have you suddenly become hard of hearing father? I said no and I mean. I am not going anywhere and if you try to send me away I promise that I will do whatever I can to make your life a living hell. You really don't want to test that threat I can guarantee you this. You are going to call Jack and tell him that plans have changed. If you don't the first thing I will do is tell Lily the truth and while you can just glamour her to forget I will keep on telling her the truth again and again and since you claim to love her I doubt you will want to risk permanently messing up her brain. I don't think that I have to say anymore since I am pretty sure that you get my point. I am going to see what my new mother found out about Blair. If I were you I would remember what I said next time you think about sending me away without my permission."

With that said I smirked once before walking away from my father. It was nice to finally stand up to Bart about something. I should do it more often. Right now though I needed to find out how the Queen of Constance was holding up. I knew convincing her what happened didn't actually happen would be harder than it was with the others. I couldn't glamour her so I would have to use my charm and skill with words to convince her it had all been an illusion. Maybe she wouldn't remember what happened that would save me a lot of trouble, but knowing her she would remember every little detail.

TBC…
