Humans could be so aggravating most of time, especially one human girl who I was caught between wanting to strangle and wanting to spend the night doing more pleasurable things too. Blair Waldorf had to be the most infuriating woman on the planet and of course by some ironic twist of fate she was the one woman I had an interest in. I know that I should be relieved she wasn't trying to find out the truth and yet I wasn't relieved. I was annoyed beyond belief with the brunette because she was avoiding me. I don't mean that she wasn't talking to me I mean full on avoiding to the point that she wouldn't even look at me when I was near her.

Ever since she had been released from the hospital I had this odd emotion in the pit of my stomach that I couldn't name. It wasn't guilt because I'm a Bass and a Bass never feels guilt over anything. It is just not something we do. I am not exactly sure what this human emotion is, but whatever it is I don't like it. It feels like something is crawling inside of my stomach clawing and trying to get out, but the only problem was I didn't know how to let it out and I wasn't sure that I would even if I could. I hate emotions of any kind and in this moment I hated Blair Waldorf for making me feel.

I think in this one moment I hated her more than anyone should be able to hate another human being. I was at school and while it wasn't my favorite place to be it got me away from my father. I had been heading outside for some herbal refreshment not caring that I had a class coming up when I saw her. At first I thought she was alone in the empty classroom and if she was alone I was going to keep her company because I am a kind soul like that, well I'm not, but I would still give her the pleasure of my company with emphasis on pleasure. It was when I took a step towards the empty classroom I realized that Blair wasn't alone. A hiss got stuck in my throat when I saw Nathaniel come to stand next to her and they were laughing. I had never seen her laugh with Nate around and an emotion I knew to be jealousy came to life roaring in my stomach.

She went back to him after everything he had done? Was this part of some elaborate plan to get to me? Did the queen of Constance want me to react? If this was a game she had no idea that she was playing with fire. I had been easy on her so far because of feeding on her accidently, but that could all change in the blink of an eye. If she wanted to play then I would play and it is a rule of thumb I don't always play fair. While Nathaniel was my friend I would use him in this game if I had to. I may not have the ability to get in to Blair's mind, but Nate's brain was easy pickings. I could basically get him to do anything I wanted. I could manipulate his thoughts or give him suggestions.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave them to whatever they were doing so I could plan, Blair turned her head and looked at me with a smug smile. She had known all along that I had been watching. In fact I could guarantee that is what she wanted. I saw red as she grabbed his collar and pulled him down for a kiss. She really had no idea what she was in for. Blair wasn't ready for war with Chuck Bass. Still if she thought she was ready to take me on in the mind game department then I would show what it was like to play in the big leagues. The brunette may be tough and queen bee among the mortals, but when it came to vampires she was at the bottom of the ladder.

I shot her a smirk right back at her letting her know it was game on. I could tell she knew what I was trying to say since her heart rate picked up. I may have been feeling a little bad about almost draining her dry, but that did not mean I wouldn't take her down in this game she had started. Plus a part of me deep down was actually excited knowing the little human thought she could take on Chuck Bass. Maybe she really was worthy of being my queen in the vampire world one day. I also had hope this battle of wills would take her mind off unraveling my secret. It would give her something else to focus her energies on.

With one last smirk in her direction I turned around and headed to class. I decided to blow off getting high. I needed to plan my first move of attack and what better place to do that than class? It's not as if I would actually be paying attention or anything because that would never happen. A war of the minds was a lot like the board game Risk. You had to put a lot of thought in to a move before taking the leap. At the very least this would allow me to stretch my mind game muscles. In the human world things got pretty boring so it was nice to know I could still have a challenge once in a while. As I walked down the hall I couldn't keep a half smile off my face. While I wasn't overly thrilled by the fact Blair was back with Nathaniel I was looking forward to whatever came next. No matter the outcome it would be interesting to say the least.

AN: This is more a filler chapter than anything. I have this flu that is going around and I wanted to post something so I posted this. I do hope that you liked it at least a little bit. Anyways, thank you for all the kind reviews and thanks to the reviewer for explaining their comments. Like I have said before I don't mind constructive criticism, but with all my health issues usually I just don't have to energy to go over chapters after I write them so you get them as is.

Please R&R like always!
