Gangrel was relieved as he finally saw the acceptance in her eyes. "Go now, my children, the rest of the night is yours." Nemesis smiled and found that the hatred was forgotten. It was useless to hold on to it anyway. Surprising everyone in the room she hugged Gangrel, "Thank you, Sire." Gangrel hugged her back and kissed her forehead, "Go spend time with your brothers." Gangrel watched with a father's pride as his three childer walked from the room together. "Well," Edge asked looking down at the newly named Nemesis, "What do you want to do now?" "Can we just go for a walk?" she asked looking longingly towards the door, "I know it's silly but everything looks so much different now." "It's not silly," Christian reassured her, "I remember when I was turned, Gangrel said I was like a person on acid." Nemesis chuckled at the analogy and gestured towards the door, "Well, are we going or what?" Christian turned a smirk towards his brother, "She's about as patient as you are," "Eat me," Edge said flashing Christian his middle finger. "Not right now, thank you," Christian responded heading towards the door. Nemesis followed her brothers out into the night. Well, she thought, it certainly won't be boring. Edge looked over at his two companions, "I'll race you to the woods," Nemesis looked doubtfully at the two males, "Trying to ditch me already, huh?" Christian chuckled and shook his head, "Not quite," he told her, "See, speed isn't just who has the longer legs when you're a vampire. We're much faster than humans and our speed increases with age. The extent of a vampire's ability also depends on the strength of their sire. Gangrel is very powerful." Curious as to what she could do, Nemesis flashed the boys a challenging smile, "Let's go then," Not waiting for them Nemesis took off through the grass and heard the boys protest calling her a cheater. Because of their advanced age they caught up to her about half way to the woods and they reached the woods together. Nemesis laughed exhilarated. "Let's do it again!" Christian raised an eyebrow at her, well wasn't this one just full of energy. "Maybe on the way back." Nemesis shrugged and began walking through the woods, Edge walking beside her and Christian a few feet behind. "What else can we do?" "You've already noticed the enhanced hearing, and sight," Edge began enjoying the feel of the soft breeze blowing through his hair, "We also are a lot stronger than mortals and have increased agility." "Increased agility?" Nemesis repeated questioningly. Edge smiled, "Like this," he said before leaping into the air and landing on a branch ten feet in the air. "Come on," he called. "No way," she said shaking her head. "It's easy," Christian said jumping onto another branch as she turned to look at him. Nemesis shrugged, "Well, it's not like there's much chance of me getting hurt is there?" Gathering herself she leaped into the air and landed gracefully on the branch Edge crouched on. "Whoa!" she breathed, "That was awesome!" She set her eyes on another nearby branch and leapt over to it. Enjoying herself now, she moved through the trees like a gymnast swinging herself from branch to branch by her hands and feet. Edge and Christian watched her amused and laughed as she did a handspring off a branch and landed on her feet on the forest floor. They joined her on the ground and she turned eager eyes to them, "What else is there?" Nemesis asked walking once more through the woods, "What can kill us?" "Well, the bit about wooden stakes is bull, silver won't kill us unless it hits us in the heart," Edge thought a moment, taking a deep breath before he dropped the bomb, "Sunlight will also kill us." Nemesis stopped short, after a moment she sighed, "It figures that part would be true." Christian watched her sympathetically, he missed the sun and he knew Edge did as well. He mourned the loss again as he saw the realization pass over her features. Christian was proud of her, as she seemed to gather her inner strength and cast the pain of this discovery off, "I guess you can't have it all," she said philosophically once more walking down the path. The rest of the walk was pleasant as they laughed and talked getting to know each other. Finally Edge looked towards the sky, "It'll be daylight in a few hours, we'd better get back." The three turned back and upon reaching the house once more found Gangrel waiting for them on the porch. Nemesis smirked, "He worries far too much doesn't he?" Edge chuckled, "Oh yeah," he said, "Gangrel likes to keep tabs on his kids." Once they reached the porch Gangrel ushered the three young vampires inside, "Time for all little vampires to be in bed," he told them. Christian and Edge groaned as Nemesis looked at him in disbelief. "I have a bedtime?" she said incredulously, "Well that sucks!" Gangrel laughed as she followed her brothers up the steps. Nemesis paused outside the door of her room as Christian continued down the hall to his room. She remembered how deep the sleep she had been in was. Though she was beginning to adjust Nemesis didn't want to be alone. Edge saw her sudden fear and paused worriedly. "Nemesis?" he called softly. She jumped surprised that he was still there, "Yeah?" she asked. "What's wrong, Little One?" he asked walking back towards where she stood. Nemesis shrugged, "I guess I just . . . I don't want to be alone." The small vampire looked down at the ground. "W-would you stay with me?" she asked softly. Edge hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Sure. Let me go get changed and I'll be right in." Nemesis nodded and headed into her room. She looked around the room wondering if there was anything here she could wear to bed. Going to the dresser and pulling out one of the drawers she found it full different types of pants. Pulling out a pair of silk like material she chose another tank top stepping behind the screen and changing into them. Nemesis went through the closet and drawers while she waited for Edge and then saw a door off to the side. Opening it she found a large bathroom filled with everything she could need. The tub was large enough to lie down in and she could see water jet heads. "Nemesis?" she heard Edge call her name and a door shut and stepped out of the bathroom and stopped dead. Edge wore only silk pajama pants. Nemesis studied the sharply defined muscles and the six-pack on his stomach. Nemesis had noticed that he was very handsome before but she'd never imagined what hid under his clothing. Edge turned and saw her standing there, "There you are, ready?" Blushing slightly Nemesis nodded and moved towards the bed. How was she supposed to sleep with this man next to her? Edge climbed into bed as she approached and she hesitated a moment. Edge smiled and held out his arms invitingly. "Come here," he said gently. "You promise not to bite?" she asked smiling back as climbed into bed. "Only if you want me to," he replied a husky quality to his voice. Shivers ran down her spine and she took a deep breath as his arms went around her and she rested her head on his chest. His skin was soft and smoothed but she could feel the power in the muscles beneath. Nemesis shifted anxiously beside him and Edge himself was torn. She was only a day old, but how he wanted her. The elder vampire looked down at the top of her head, she'd been through so much, and he didn't want to frighten her when she seemed to be finally settling down. Edge had been attracted to her since the first time he saw her. Her strawberry blonde hair and deep green eyes had drawn him like a moth to a flame. The little vampire in his arms shifted again and her green eyes met his. "Edge?" she asked uncertainty in her voice. Edge saw the desire in her eyes along with uncertainty. Carefully he rolled over onto his side so they were face to face. Reaching up he brushed her hair from her face his hand lingering on her cheek. Slowly, they moved towards each other and their lips met in the softest of kisses. Again Edge's lips descended on hers this time the kiss more demanding. She returned his advances eagerly, wrapping her arms around him. Nemesis sighed as he kissed his way down her neck pausing at the crook of her neck before moving his velvet lips over her shoulder. One hand tangled in his hair while the other moved up and down his back becoming acquainted with his body. Edge took her lips with his own again his tongue seeking and gaining access to the soft confines of her mouth. He groaned into her mouth as her hand caressed his ass. Gasping he tore his lips from hers and looked into her eyes, "Are you sure?" he asked huskily not wanting to push her into anything. Nemesis paused before she smiled and nodded, "I want you," she whispered pulling his mouth down to hers once more. Reassured Edge kissed her more passionately his hand moving under her shirt to caress her breasts. Nemesis moaned in delight as he played with her nipples, twisting and pulling on them. Wanting to feel his skin against hers he pulled off her shirt pulling her up against him. Nemesis couldn't believe the feelings that washed over her; she felt Edge tugging on her pants and lifted her hips so he could remove her pants and thong. Edge paused to admire her, as she lay naked underneath him. Nemesis blushed under his gaze and he smiled, "You're beautiful," he told her kissing her gently. Edge moved his hands down her body inserting one finger gently into her hot core. She closed her eyes as the pleasure washed over her and felt him kissing his way down her body. He stopped down by her legs and Nemesis opened her eyes to see him watching her lustfully. Never taking his eyes off her he dipped his head and she gasped when his tongue came in contact with her clit. Edge played with the little nub alternating between biting and sucking on it. Parting her lips with his fingers he slipped his tongue inside her thrusting in and out. Nemesis's moans grew louder as climax approached and she let out a scream of delight as she reached her peak Edge rubbing her clit with his thumb to prolong her orgasm. "Edge . . ." she whispered between gasps, "Please . . . I want you." Edge moved up her body to kiss her again more demanding this time. He slipped out of his pants and Nemesis noted absently that he wore no underwear. Edge positioned himself over her rubbing the head of his erections against her before he gently pushed himself inside of her. Nemesis gasped as his large cock filled her and he paused a moment allowing her to adjust to his size. She squirmed underneath him letting him know she was ready. Edge began to move in and out of her, varying the speed and strength of his thrusts, learning what pleasured her most. He could feel her orgasm building and knew his wasn't far away. Edge sank his fangs into her neck and pounded into to her relentlessly as they cried out their climax together. Edge emptied himself into her before collapsing on top of her in exhaustion. Nemesis stroked his hair as her breathing slowly returned to normal. Edge rolled off of her onto his back and pulled her into his arms so that her head was resting on his chest. They shared one final lingering kiss before they closed their eyes and allowed the vampiric sleep take them.
