Blairs Pov-
After the couples portion of the photo shoot was finished, I had decided to go freshen up a bit before I had any more pictures taken. Usually Serena would have come with me, but she was in the middle of doing her couple shots with Carter. Serena looked good as she always did and when I saw my mother watching her with a smile, a sharp pain of rejection shot through my chest and I knew I had to get out of there before I did something stupid like burst in to tears. After all these years, one would think I'd be over feeling anything when it came to my mother always choosing my best friend over her own daughter. In the end it didn't matter because looks would fade over time and when Serena was old with graying hair and crows feet, I would be doing something meaningful with my life.
Once I was in the bathroom I immediately turned on the cold and splashed my face. I stared at my reflection in the mirror trying to point out the flaws my mother constantly pointed out. I wasn't horribly disfigured like she made it seem. My cream colored skin was smooth with no blemishes that I could see. My chestnut curly hair fell down around my shoulders in shiny waves and I couldn't find an inch of fat when I pinched different places on my body. So I may not be supermodel beautiful, but I wasn't an ugly duckling either. Why couldn't my mother just take me as I am? If she hated me so much then why not just send me to live with my father and Roman? At least if she did that she wouldn't have to constantly be reminded of the fact I am not nor will I ever be her precious Serena. Plus I would no longer have to deal with all the remarks about never being good enough. While I may not be the biggest fan of my fathers boyfriend Roman, I would rather be around him than my mother since he accepted me for who I am as did my father.
"No matter what you do, you will always be just as you; you will never be good enough." I whirled around when I heard the bathroom door open and close. At first I had thought it to be Serena, but my hopes were dashed as soon as Georgina Sparks spoke. "Your mother and Nate will always choose Serena first. It's a surprise you haven't just killed yourself by this point in time. why are you bothering to stick around? Every single person in your life would be better off if you were dead and gone."
Doing my best to reign in my emotions, I sent her the darkest glare I could muster up. "Listen up Georgina, I have no idea what you are up or why you feel the need to trespass in my town and try to steal my status of queen, but I am here to tell you that I am not going to let you get away with it. I don't care who you are, what you are, or where you are from; you could be from the lost city of Atlantis for all care because you are nothing and I have nothing to fear from someone like you."
"Oh, is that what you think?" She snarled while taking a menacing step in my direction as a way to try and terrify me. "If that is what you think then I am here to tell you that you're living in a land of denial. Do you have any idea what I am capable of little girl? I have done things you couldn't even imagine in your worst nightmares. You really don't want to get in a feud with me; I am immortal, but you can't say the same thing can you? You are nothing more than a human; a frail, weak, and useless human. I could break your neck in a second, I could drain you dry, I could-"
I cut her off with an overly dramatic sigh. "Is this your master plan? Are you going to ramble on and on until I'm so bored I die?"
I realized that trying to bate Georgina wasn't exactly a smart move, but I just couldn't take it anymore. I was tired of everyone and everything in my life. I was sick of letting people walk all over just to make a good impression on those around me. I was sick of never being good enough for my mother and Nate. It was about time I took a stand and stood up for myself. I would not be weak anymore; I was going to become stronger and when that happened nobody would ever screw with me again. People would look at me and forget all about Serena.
Georgina tilted her head as a small smirk appeared on her lips. "If you don't want to talk anymore then we don't have to talk. I am feeling peckish and now that I think of it, I don't recall having any dinner last night or breakfast this morning. Oh, if I were you I wouldn't bother screaming; you'll be dead before anyone got here and they would join you soon after. You shouldn't worry though Blair, I promise to look after both Nate and Chuck when you are gone and I will give S the best friend she deserves."
I had no time to react before she was on me with her teeth imbedded deeply in the soft flesh of my throat. Try as I might, I couldn't break her hold on me, but I wasn't going to give up. There was no way I was going out this way and letting Georgina win. Suddenly I remembered the cross that was engraved in the ring I was wearing. It had been a gift from my mother before he left and I never took it off. The only reason it had no effect on Chuck was because I did not let him it touch him. Apparently crosses did hurt vampires, but only if it touched any part of their skin. Raising my left hand, I pressed my ring against her cheek and almost instantly smoke started to rise from her cheek as she pulled back with a hiss. For a moment I thought she was going to lunge towards me once again, but instead she took on look at the ring before quickly leaving the bathroom.
Once I was sure she was gone for good and not coming back to finish what she had started, I let myself fall to my knees while at the same time bringing my hands up to try and stop the bleeding. When both of my hands came back almost completely red, I knew I needed some serious medical attention. The only problem was the fact I couldn't seem to get back up or call for help. I was losing to much blood and if someone didn't do something, if I didn't do something then I would be dead within the hour and not the same kind of dead as Chuck Bass. I had to do something, but it appeared to me as if Georgina may actually win this round. Perhaps I wasn't meant rule Manhattan like I had thought. Perhaps I wasn't meant to the queen of high school and perhaps my mother would finally be getting her wish.
