LEGEND OF THE VIPER(COMPLETE)

CHAPTER 2

She has everything and she did everything for him, so why was he so cruel that he just had to cheat on her with that other girl? She spent a week without going to school because she couldn't stand seeing those two at all. She thought she was her best friend and yet she betrayed her like that. One way or the other she was going to get her revenge and make them pay for what they did to her.

So in order to ease her mind she got into her Porsche her dad bought her for her eighteenth birthday and drove off. She was planning on going clubbing but she decided to take a drive on the freeway. She was driving as fast as she could when a motorcycle just passed her as if she was in motion. How was it even possible?

Her car was fast so how did that motorcycle passed her like that? She began to feel very competitive that she stepped on her gear and began to follow the motorcycle but still she couldn't catch it. Instead another car came out from nowhere and she lost her footing, making the car to sway in the road. The only thing she did was cry out loud for help. She wasn't ready to die yet, she was still young. Somehow the car toppled and she was now looking down and there were some sparks now. Was she just going to burn down and be left with no body to bury?

She began to hit the windshield with her fists but it wasn't falling off at all. The seatbelt was so hooked that for the first time it refused to come out. Was this her fate, just to die because she couldn't admit defeat? She watched as the other car was in her position but lucky for the passengers, one was out and the rest were helping each other. She was the unlucky one.

She heard the sound of the motorcycle again and watched as it came and stopped just a few meters away from her car. Was he going to be her knight in shining armor? She really needed one. Her knight removed the helmet and all hell broke loose. It was a woman all along and she was young. All her expectations went low and she knew she was going to die since the fumes were starting to rise.

She was shocked however when she was how fearless the rider was as she walked towards her car and smashed her window open before she fought with the seatbelt for a minute or so and she was free. She was one very strong woman. After being set free, Amber found herself being carefully scooped away from her car. The stranger carried her with care to a safe distance before she walked towards the other car and offered her assistance.

The stranger was busy helping when Amber heard the sirens. The police and ambulance were here. Suddenly she saw the stranger telling other people something before she ran to where she was, scooped her up and ran with her in her arms before her Porsche blew up. She couldn't believe her car just blew up into pieces. She hugged the stranger closely and prayed silently.

By the time police and the medics came for her and the others, her heart was racing like crazy. She was in love and for the first time with a woman. Who wouldn't fall for their savior? She watched as the stranger gave her statement to the police before she got back on her bike and rode away. Just like that she watched as her heart drove further away and it hurt.

Twenty minutes later, she was in her own private hospital room, on a drip and a very worried doctor in the room.

Her father was the chairman of the hospital. Her family had prided themselves with the health issue a lot and she understood why the doctor was like that.

A minute later she heard her mother's voice. She was crying. Didn't she knew that she was still alive and not dead?

'My little pumpkin, did you get hurt?' her mother asked as she approached her and began to check her face.

'Just a few scratches but i am fine mother,' she assured her.

'Thank God. Baby what really happened?'

Amber explained part of the story, only the good parts and her mother knew that but there was no way she was going to say anything and ruin it.

'So did you get the name of this woman?'

'No, she was gone after making her statement. Mom can you do me a favor and find out who she is. I want to show her my deepest gratitude for saving so many lives today including mine,' she said blushing.

'Is that my daughter speaking?' her father asked as he walked in.

'Dad, when did you arrive?'

'Just now. It seems you are fine,' he said.

'I am not at all. Can you find her for me, please?'

'Already did. Do you want me to call her?'

'No, i will see her after i get discharged and thank her myself.'

'If that's what you want then it's fine. Your brother will arrive tomorrow, don't make him worry,' her dad said.

'I won't daddy and i am sorry,' she finally said.

'I forgive you since you came out alive and the others as well. Next time, just tell someone and don't do anything recklessly again or i will make you take a taxi or the bus.'

'I will be careful next time, i promise,' she said.

She knew her dad was one tough guy though she wasn't really sure if he would really make her take the taxi to school or anywhere else.

Her mother hugged her pretty close and she felt her warmth. She was going to forget about that bastard and concentrate on her new love. Would that woman fall for her? Was she into women? She was going to find out everything and win her no-matter what.

'Daddy!' she called out.

'What is it princess?'

'Can i get another car?' she asked shyly.

'Of course, anything you want. I will give it to you,' her dad said and she smiled.

'Thank you daddy,' she said and blew him a kiss.

'Before i forget, the woman who saved you is familiar,' her dad told her.

'Why do you say so dad?'

'You know the Whites?'

'Yes, they are popular '

'She is the unpopular one, Haven White.'

'That's her name?'

'Yes.'

'Thank you daddy, i will look her up,' she said now her face all lit up.

She couldn't wait to look her up, find her and meet her in person. If she was not popular then it was good, that way she will have her all to herself.

'Haven White, wait for me. I am coming for you,' she thought to herself and smiled once more.

'Are you doing this on purpose?' Haven asked as she lit her fourth cigarette since her meeting began.

'It's not my intention Viper, but the circumstances are making me,' the Minister of Finance Mr. Smith said.

If the man wasn't old she was going to make him taste her venom.

'I have always hated all Ministers of Finance because they are concerned with their benefits more but that's different for me now. Whatever you do makes me profit but i still don't get why you are such an asshole.'

'I am sorry.'

'You better be. Not only did you lose my money but you want to borrow more! Do i look like an i***t? This is what i am going to do,' she said and press her speed dial, 'come to the office now!'

'What are you going to do?'

'Teach you a great lesson. You see, i am not here to play but make money but you are making losses. That is not just on me but my children as well. I hate it when someone try to make my babies suffer,' she said as she blow off smoke.

There was a slight knock on her door and then her lawyer came in. He was one vicious man and ruthless too. He never lost a case, one of the reasons why she recruited him.

'How can i be of service?'

'I need that affidavit now, one for our notorious clients!'

'Let me take it out,' he said as he put his bag down, opened it and remove a flat file and placed it on the desk.

'You see Mr. Smith, i no longer trust you but your government still do, so i will help you just this once and in return you will have to owe me some favors that will be redeemed as time goes on. Take this form and read it. If you are satisfied then sign it. Don't play games with me,' she said passing the form to him and smiled as she saw how he was sweating buckets.

'You can leave now before i rip that head off!'

Mr. Smith left her office and her lawyer Jones sat down.

'Should i follow him?'

'Yes, i need to know everything that he does,' she instructed.

'Yes Ma'am, i will have my people on that. Is there anything i should do for you?'

'No, you may leave.'

'Okay, have a great day.'

'You too and tell Gina to bring me a cup of coffee and sandwich.'

Jones left her office and she sighed. Why did she have to deal with these crazy assed bitches?

Since she had nothing to do, she had to visit her pets and feed them.

Gina walked into her office with her requested food. She put it on the table.

'Tell the vet i will be there in an hour,' she informed Gina as she left her office.

'I will do that.'

Gina was the perfect assistant she could ask for.

The girl was tight lipped, she tested her without her knowledge and she passed. All her assistants cracked easily which is why she fired them very fast. Gina didn't ask a lot of questions and she admired her for that. She really hated answering questions anyways.

She ate her sandwich fast since she was famished.

She left her office and Gina followed her. Her building was a normal one, she didn't want to attract some attention. The fewer people who know about her business the better.

There were many benefits of being the Viper but it costs her life. She had to continuously consume a deadly substance so that she could live. They arrived at the vet and she walked in. There was no one around, just the way she wanted.

'Welcome!' the vet who also happens to be the youngest priest of her Oracle said.

'How is business?' she asked as she walked towards the glass containing those vicious vipers.

Because of your grace, the business is blooming. I am planning on opening another vet clinic soon,' he told her.

'That's good news. Do you have funds?'

'I have thank you for asking. Ever since i became a priest, i have learnt to manage my funds wisely. I wouldn't want to face your wrath,' he said with a chuckle.

'If you ever need any help just tell me. I am here to help. You are my priest after all.'

'I will bear that in mind. Should we start now?' he asked.

'Yes, let's do this,' she said as she sat down.

Haven watched as the young priest took out the first viper out of the glass. The snakes could easily sense her. The priest put the snake down and it crawled to where she was and it began to crawl on her skin before it bit her on her arm. It was very painful, she closed her eyes and took it. After the snake had done its job, she patted it and returned it. This continued two more times and she was going crazy.

'Are you okay?'

'I will be, get me a glass of water and tell Gina to book a reservation for me. I feel like eating steak,' she said putting on a faint smile on her face.

'I will do that,' he said and left.

This certain ritual wasn't for public display. The vet could be present since he was in charge of keeping her pets. She didn't want anyone to know the torture she has to go through just to be their leader. The young priest rear the vipers so that she can maintain her life. Her whole system was filled with venom, just a scratch from her will kill a person.

These bites were very painful and she needed them to live her life. It was the same bite that killed her and rose her back from the dead. They could no longer kill her anymore but make her only stronger.

The vet walked in with her glass of water which she took and gulped it down at once.

'I will take my leave now,' she said as she stood.

'I will walk you out.'

The vet walked her out to the reception where Gina was waiting for her.

'I bid you farewell my lady,' he said as he bowed.

This while over the top custom got on her nerves but it was tradition and she could do nothing about it.

'I bless you,' she said in return and left the building.

She closed her eyes as soon as she got into the car. The venom was still entering her system, so she needed some peace and quite as the process commences.

'Haven we are here,' Gina said after a while.

She smiled as soon as she opened her eyes.

'You chose this hotel! You are quite sneaky Gina,' she said with a smile.

'I couldn't help it.'

The hotel belonged to her family and it has been a long time since she went there.

'Isn't that Haven White?' Haven could hear the questions flying around as she walked confidently in the hotel while ignoring them.

'Let's get this over with!' she said as she chuckled.

She couldn't wait to see how the day was going to progress.
