Blairs POV-

When I had woken up to get ready for school, I felt different. It wasn't the kind of different someone would feel after a good nights rest, but rather as if something inside of me had changed or blossomed. I felt as if I had been reborn in to something and someone better. No longer was I Blair Waldorf who tried to be what everyone else expected of me even if it meant sacrificing my own happiness. The new and improved Blair was proud of who she was and she would live her life the way she wanted. It was high time I started to actually live my life instead of letting others do it for me. It was time to finally be myself and the first step in doing that would be by dressing the way I wanted. Serena had always been the beautiful one, but now it was my turn. I didn't have to be a blonde bombshell in order to knock em dead with my appearance.

Once I finally got dressed after doing a few quick alterations, I headed off to school. I have to admit that I was filled to the brim with excitement and curiosity at how everyone would react to the new me. Would S finally know what it was like to feel insecure and doubtful when it came to her looks? A part of me hoped so because even though she was my friend, she needed to know how much it could hurt; she needed to know what I went through for years. I also wondered what Nate would think and I hated to admit it, but I was curious to see the reaction I would get out of Chuck Bass. He was right about some sort of bond between us, but again I would never tell him that. It's not as if it mattered anyways since I was going to find a way to break this bond, whatever it may be.

It was when I actually arrived at school that my day started to go downhill. Chuck had immediately dragged me off and demanded that I take off my sunglasses. As far as demands go that wasn't really all that bad, but something inside of me, the new Blair, didn't want to take orders. the new Blair wanted to rebel and while I couldn't be sure if this new Blair had come about due to everything I've had to deal with my whole life or my recent diet of vampire blood, but it didn't really matter anyways. The point was I was absolutely sick and tired of being pushed around and I was no longer going to take it. The only reason I finally agreed to take of my sunglasses was due to my loathing of the vampire in front of me and my desire to get him out of my life for good.

As soon as I removed them, I flinched as the sunlight literally burned my eyes. I could feel little blisters starting to pop up on the skin around my eye and socket and I quickly slipped the glasses back on. What the hell was that? Why where my eyes burning like that? I was still human, that much I knew and so I had no idea as to why my body had the reaction it did to direct sunlight. to me it made no sense considering other parts of my body had not burst in to flames or blisters.

"I win." Chuck stated with a smirk as he took my hand and started pulling me off to who knows where. "When are you finally going to admit that I am always right and it would be easier if you just stopped fighting me?"

"When hell freezes over." I mumbled knowing he could hear me. "Where are you taking me? If you are trying to kidnap me then you better kill me first."

"You are such a negative thinker Waldorf." Again he smirked and I wanted to slap it off his face. "I am taking you back home so we can patch up those blisters. I'm sure the last thing you want is for your followers to see them and start asking questions."

Rolling my eyes behind the sunglasses, I let him pull me along since he was right this one time. "Why do you care? I wish you would just stop caring Bass."

"So do I." He mumbled softly not knowing I could hear him. "Looks like neither will get what we want today. At least I don't have to suffer alone. If I go down then you go down with me whether I want you to or not."

His words caught me off guard for a moment and I looked down at our entwined fingers. I wanted to say thank you, but I knew I had to do it in a way which would not make me look weak. "If you are expecting some kind of reward for this then you better think again. Just because you are going to take care of my eyes and the blisters, a problem you created in the first place by forcing me to take my sunglasses, does not mean you get to pretend you're the hero."

Almost instantly his smirk was replaced by a look of pure disgust. "I would never want to be seen as a hero. Heroes follow rules and have a code, that is why villains have more fun. I am a villain through and through; if anybody dare call me a hero I think I would be insulted."

This time I was the one smirking. "Well then, I feel it is my duty to inform you, Chuck Bass, you are my hero and I am going to make sure that everybody knows it. Maybe I'll even get you a plaque with your name and the word hero printed in big bold letters."

TBC...

AN: I am sorry the updates have taken so long, but my father had a heart attack and it was touch and go because he had to have surgery, though he is doing better now and is home. He actually had the heart attack after catching a shop lifter he was chasing down and he caught him despite what was happening to him. Anyways, in the next chapter I was thinking of having Bart officially meet Blair and some interesting things happen. I do hope you all liked this chapter.

Please R&R like always!
