I couldn't talk for a long time and I don't know for how long. I finally calmed down in Peri's arms. How great was he? "I'm so stupid, Peri! I can't remember him but the look of hate...It hurt just as much!" I wiped away tears.

"I know something that will help." Peri stated. "Come on, Fifty." He didn't explain anything or wait for me to agree to follow him, he expected me to follow him.

I followed him because well, I would follow him anywhere... Volcanoes, rabid dogs packs, an army of man-eating ants and swarms of vampires; anywhere.

Peri led me to Gem's office. This was new. I didn't know if I was even allowed in Gem's office... even though I knew where it was. I never went up stairs except to the cafe which was one floor above mine and down a hallway. To be fair, this place was full of hallways and rooms were everywhere.

"Gem, I'm taking Viper somewhere to let off steam." His sword was on his back and his gun on his hip.

Gem looked up and I thought she would say no but she nodded. "Be careful."

Peri nodded. "Okay."

That was it and we were walking out of the building. I didn't even pay any attention to what her office looked like, the visit was so quick. Gem looked like perfection though. Her long straight hair looked the same as the first time I saw her and her pinstripe suit was perfect for her. She was sitting at a desk... I think that was a couch or something and some windows. I missed all of the details.

I have to say that Gem never looked like how I pictured Faeries. She was a fire Faerie and I saw wings and fire or the color red or orange... but she always looked like a lawyer from a very prestigious firm.

It was dark out as we stepped through the forcefield. We were in a wooded area and that was all I knew. We got into a green army Jeep and drove for ten minutes before Peri stopped.

"Out." He hopped out.

I followed because... of course I would follow Peri. Wherever he wanted to go, I would go, happily.

Peri took my hand and in a blink of an eye, we were somewhere else. "Now, go nuts!" He had teleported us. I had heard that he could teleport but it was rare for him to do so. It was the little bit of magic he had left. Losing his people left him barely alive but he made it back to this.

I smelled them. Vampires, whole lot of them. I smiled at Peri. "Son of a bitch!"

Peri chuckled at my reaction.

I stormed through some woods, I didn't know where we were or what happened but there were twenty something vampires and I was killing them.

I didn't think of anything other than killing them as I ripped through them. I was on a mission. Kill. I hated them so much. Hate burned through my being as I tore through them.

I knew I had backup if I needed it but Peri stayed back as he watched. I hated to think about what he saw that night.

My hatred grew as their scent filled my nose. They stole everything from me, everything. My family, my identity, my memories. They took me. Stole me. Erased me. I hated them with all of what was left of me. I hated them more with every swipe of a claw or punch or biting kill that I did to them. Nothing I did could compare to what they did to me. I killed them when I wished they would have killed me.

There were so many days that I sat and stared at a wall trying to figure out why me. Why did they pick me, take me and turn me? They turned me only to leave me behind and I had no answers to my questions. I would never know why. I had one question when they all boiled down. Why?

Of all the people that they killed that night, why take me? What made me so damn special? I screamed that a few times as I sliced through the enemy.

I was breathless and a little bruised when I was finished. I fought them, defended myself and killed them all. I wanted more but I would have to wait. I was tired as I sat on the ground.

Peri sat beside me unphased by my behavior. "Better?"

I nodded. I was covered in their blood and I did feel better. "I'm still angry but I feel better. Thanks, Peri."

Peri sighed. "I knew that the lake view wasn't going to cut it this time, Viper."

I wiped tears that kept flowing. "I hate them so much!" I was sobbing again as Peri surrounded me. His arms wrapped around me in complete comfort and I took it. I needed his comfort. I needed Peri.

"I know, Fifty. I know." Peri cooed at me as I just cried, like a warrior.

Peri kissed my face and I sighed. He kissed my forehead and my tears stopped. He kissed my temple and I inhaled slowly as my anger faded. He kissed my cheek and then the side of my mouth and I melted into him.

He finally kissed my lips and my need was building. He moved his mouth to my jaw and neck and I moaned. His lips moved to my ear as he nibbled. I was his.

Like I said, he could take me anywhere.

I guess he was taking me here.

Peri removed my shirt as his hands slid up my body. I moaned. His touch was healing in ways I can't explain. "Mmm." The only feeling left inside me was need.

Peri moaned with me. "Viper..." He whispered in my ear. I could hear the unspoken request to take me.

"Peri." I whispered back. I was his. My hands slid under his shirt and I touched his soft skin. His lips touched mine and I melted into him. Our passion was catching fire and neither of us could stop it.

I helped him remove his clothes as he took the rest of mine. His soft yellow eyes turned almost white as we became one. I was in ecstasy. Peri was taking me to a whole new plane of pleasure that I didn't even know existed and I followed him.

I didn't know that magic existed but I did now. Peri was full of magic. His body vibrated as we moved together; as he loved me, I loved him.

We laid on the ground, breathless, as the sky began to lighten. It was getting close to morning as I moaned his name one last time as my body shivered in ecstasy. I could die happy.
