Mari looks around the house curiously and saw a small statue of the Elfor Tower. She extends her hand to touch it. "Don't touch that." She jumps back and sees the owner of the ranch...Viperion standing next to her.

"When did you get there? I didn't feel you come in." Mari asked still a bit shaken up.

"That's how it should be I learned how to walk without people feeling my presence." Viperion replied.

"So um...why are you called Viperion is it because you sneak up to people and attack them?" Viperion stares at her sternly. "Is that why?"

"Snakes aren't as cruel as you think and mine is just a nickname like any other." Viperion replied.

Mari nodded. "I might have seen too many movies then."


"So what did Adrien tell you?" Sabine asked Tom once he returned home.

"That he was informed of Mari's disappearances too, He's clueless of where she is like us." Tom replied.

"Someone should know where she is...Father Carlos, he can tell us where she is. I'll look for him at the church tomorrow." Sabine said with determination.


"So are there snakes around here?" Mari asked.

"Yes but you'll rarely see them, and if you do they're mainly harmless." Viperion stated. "Are you afraid that a snake harms you?" Mari shook her head and started rambling about random stuff. Viperion crosses his arms. "You have such a way of speaking."

Mari nods. "I always talk like that."

"It seems to me that you wonder a lot. I don't like noisy people. Plus why do you need to be in the living room? I told Juleka that you, and that man could stay as long as you didn't bother me. You talk a lot, and I want silence around me." Viperion said sternly. "Learn to be quiet when you see me and actually try to avoid seeing me. Look I don't want to be cruel to you, but I defend my solitude. Leave."

Mari turns around and leaves and goes in the room that was giving to Fu out of breath. "What's wrong?" Fu asked worriedly.

"I was in the living room and saw the owner of the ranch the so-called Viperion." Mari replied.

Fu facepalm. "Dear I forgot to tell you that Juleka told me he lets us stay here, but he doesn't want to see us around the house and much less bother him."

Mari puts her hands on her hips. "You don't say? He just told me."

"Mari try to stay in one place where you know he won't be and be still." Fu replied.

Mari nodded. "It was my fault anyway."

Later that evening Juleka decides to teach Mari how to do all the farming chores. The first thing she learned was how to pick eggs from the chicken hen then how to milk a cow. Jacob goes to her with a horse next to him. "You don't want to ride him Miss?" Mari shook her head nervously. "Whenever you want to learn I'll teach you how to ride him."

"Stop wasting your time with that horse finished your chores so you can go to the airport so you don't miss your flight to Paris." Juleka stated. Mari and Fu look at each other worriedly.

"Right." He smiles and walks away.

"So he's going to Paris?" Mari asked.

Juleka nodded. "Yes he's going for two days for his break. He has family there." Juleka notices Mari's worried look. "Why do you look worried?"

"I'm afraid that it's discovered that I'm here." Mari replied.

"But Jacob doesn't know anyone of your people." Juleka stated.

"Life has coincidences that you wouldn't believe Juleka." Fu replied.

"So what can we do?" Juleka asked.

"The only thing I can think of is that no one here knows what are real names are, and that we use fake names." Mari replied.

"Alright from now on, I'm not Fu but Simon." Mari and Juleka look at him confused. "What it's the first name that came to mind. What about you dear?"

Mari shrugs. "I don't know yet. I need to think about it...hay Juleka why is your brother the owner of the ranch called Viperion?"

"I honestly don't know he just asked us to call him that." Juleka replied.


The next morning in Paris Sabine finds Father Carlos in the church. "Father Carlos I need to know about Mari. When I went to the apartment complex where she lived I didn't find her. She left with Fu without telling anyone where they were going. She disappeared her friends nor Adrien knows about her, but I know that you do. Don't lie to me father you need to know where my daughter is. Please tell me. I have a feeling that you are the direct source of her disappearing. You helped her leave right? You know where Mari is."

Father Carlos slowly nodded. "Yes I know where she is."

"Where did you take her?" Sabine asked.

Father Carlos sighs. "I'm sorry Mrs. Sabine. I can't tell you."

"You're going to hide where my daughter is? No father you have to tell me." Sabine begged. "I'm the mother."

"I can't its a secret, and I told her I found her parents but Mari didn't want to know who they were." Father Carlos stated. "I tried to tell her, but she denied to hear me. She says that it's too late. That she doesn't need you. I'm sorry Mrs. Sabine."

"Than tell me why she left." Sabine stated.

"I can't tell you that either." Father Carlos replied.

"Don't be cruel with me. Are you punishing me for what I did to Mari in the past?" Sabine asked in tears.

"Of course not I don't want you to suffer, and I want to tell you but I can't. Please trust me when I tell you that Mari is okay. She's in a safe place." Father Carlos stated with a smile.


"You need to be as pretty as before." Audrey said to Chloe as she was doing her hair. "Oh Chloe if only you could understand. You would be surprised at the things that happened during your absence. Who would think that Adrien would get married with that vague girl of the streets Mari, who would deliver the tea for the tea maker Fu or much less that girl being part of Adrien's past."

Adrien walks over to her. "Did you try to speak with her?"

Audrey nodded. "Yes but there was no reaction Adrien. My poor daughter has her mind in blank. What do you think?"

"I need to bring her back to reality. It won't be easy for her memory to come back, but I won't quit until I achieve it." Adrien replied.

"I think it will help her if she sees Maya." Audrey stated.

"No Audrey I don't think its a good idea to put Maya in that kind of situation. For now its best to leave her with her tutor." Adrien replied.

"I don't trust that woman." Audrey responded.

Adrien sighs. "I need her right now so please don't give her a hard time like you did with Mari."


"Do you know what his name is?" Maya asked Kagami as she was holding Teddy.

"No what's his name?" Kagami asked.

"Teddy Mari gave him to me; he used to be hers but one day when I was sick she brought him to me. Lila says she was the one who brought him, but I know that it was Mari." Maya replied.

"Who's Lila?" Kagami asked curiously.

"Someone who was about to marry daddy." Maya stated.

"And Mari?"

"Someone who actually married daddy but my real mom wasn't in heaven, and I think that's why Mari left what a shame." Maya said sadly.

"You aren't happy that your mom will come back?" Kagami asked confused.

"Of course, she's my mom, and I need to love her but she never wanted to give me any siblings and Mari said she would. That's why I'll wait for Mari one day she'll come and bring me a little brother or sister!" Maya said happily.


Sabine walks to the back garden where Tom and Lila were at in tears. "Tom."

"You couldn't find out anything?" Tom asked helping her sit on a chair.

"Father Carlos is the only one that knows where Mari is, and he didn't want to tell me where she is." Sabine replied. "As much as I begged him, and it was for no use."

"Calm down tell me what he told you. He must have a good reason not to tell you." Tom stated.

"That Mari doesn't want anyone to know where she is, and he didn't tell me why and Mari doesn't know that we are her parents." Sabine replied.

Tom looks at her surprised. "What?"

"She didn't want Father Carlos to tell her Mari doesn't want to know who her parents are." Sabine explained. "Mari says that she doesn't need us anymore, and she's right. When she needed us, she was all alone. Now after all this time, what could we ask from her much less demand from her? There's no feelings inside of Mari that brings her close to us. That's when she doesn't know who we are if she did she would go farther. We harmed her a lot."

"She needs to appear." Lila said softly.

"I could have my daughter with me, nevertheless, she's in the position as always." Sabine said sadly.


Adrien walked in the house just as Kagami was walking down the stairs. "How is it going with my daughter Kagami?"

"Very well doctor we haven't started classes yet we have been talking to get to know each other a little more." Kagami replied. "Now she's in her room sleeping."

Adrien nodded. "I need to leave again I just came for some papers."

"How is your wife doctor?" Kagami asked.

"The same it's a complicated case, but I hope to cue her." Adrien said before walking to the library to get the papers, then he thinks about Mari. "Why can't I stop thinking about her if we can't be together anymore?" This led to him going to the Dupain household and Sabine tells him what she knows about Mari. "So Father Carlos is the only one that knows where Mari is?"

"Yes since he's the one that took her, but he didn't want to tell me." Sabine stated. "If I haven't abandoned her as a baby her life would be different."

"There are many beautiful things that could've been but aren't..." Adrien replied.


That morning in California Luka was walking back and forth in a small shelter at the ranch when he hears yells outside and two of his employees brought in a young man and dropped him in front of Luka as the man falls on his knees and looked up at him. Luka just stares down at him. "Scorpion is a traitor sir before you know it he stabs your back." One of them stated.

"Tell me what happened." Luka stated sternly.

"We found Scorpion stealing and killing some of the animals sir." Ivan replied.

"How did you kill them with your teeth?" Luka asks with a sarcastic laugh.

"No with something sharper Viperion." Scorpion said as he takes out a pocket knife and was about to stab Luka but Luka dodges it and kicks Scorpion making him groan and fall on the ground and Luka pins him to the ground. That's when Mari walks in, and she covers her mouth in shock seeing the scene in front of her.


"I can't believe Mari doesn't want to see us." Mrs. Lahiffe said in disbelief to Father Carlos. "Just tell me where you took Mari."

"No as much as you insist I won't tell you." Father Carlos stated.

"You will tell me." Nino said sternly as he walked in his office.

"I'm sorry Nino but I can't tell you either." Father Carlos replied.

"I'm not asking because I'm curious, but because I'm worried about Mari. You know that I love Mari." Nino stated.

"Marinette left because she wanted to get away from everything and everyone with reasons which she'll tell when she's ready. She begged me to keep it a secret, and I will. What she needs right now is peace." Father Carlos responded.


Luka starts kicking and punching Scorpion who was still on the ground. Unable to deal with it anymore Mari steps in between the two pushing Luka away. "THAT'S ENOUGH STOP HITTING HIM." Mari yelled in fiery. "What are you looking for? Don't you see that he is younger and weaker than you?! That's why you're called Viperion for being CRUEL right?!" Luka just glares at her before walking away. Mari quickly went to the flower garden where Juleka was. "Juleka! Juleka! I blew it! I blew it! Now I need to pack my bags since in any minute Viperion will kick me and Fu out."

"Why? What did you do?" Juleka asked confused and concern.

"The savage was hitting and kicking another guy harshly like a maniac. I don't know who that guy was he did have a face that was kind of scary, but that's no reason for him to get abuse." Mari replied. "I couldn't help myself, and I went between the two and yelled at him. I couldn't stay still seeing something so terrible."

"JULEKA! I want to talk to you!" Luka yelled from the back porch.

"Coming!" Juleka called back before walking over to him.

Fu walked over to Mari. "What's going on?"

"I blew it Fu, we'll be kicked out in no time." Mari stated freaking out.

"What's up Luka?" Juleka asked once she was in front of a furious pacing Luka.

"I want that noisy girl and that man out from my house right now!" Luka said sternly.

"But where will they go Luka?" Juleka asked concern.

"That's not my issue!" Luka exclaimed still pacing back and forth.

"Than I'll have to call Uncle Carlos to come and get them...They're by themselves here." Juleka stated.

Luka laughed. "Nothing will happen to them that girl is braver than you think. She has a lot of guts to go between two men who were fighting to the death and say the things she said to defend the one and only Scorpion!"

"She was scared she did it to stop a tragedy from happening. She doesn't know who Scorpion really is. The poor thing isn't used to seeing that kind of fights." Juleka replied. "Don't be so harsh Luka. Our mom wouldn't kick out people in need, and a son needs to continue traditions of his own. I'll tell her to not do it again. It was the first time, please give her another chance."

"The first and last time Juleka." Luka said before storming to the back yard. "IVAN MY HORSE!"

"Yes sir!" Ivan called as he hurried to get the horse.

Mari and Fu walked over to Juleka. "So do we have to leave?" Mari asked curiously.

Juleka shook her head. "You're staying but it took me a lot to convince him next time Mari don't go in between a fight." They watched as Luka took off on his horse.


"Why haven't you called Mathew? Why do I have to always call you?" Ruby asked Mathew over the phone.

"I intend to but I think about what if you are asleep, and I wouldn't want to disturb you." Mathew replied.

"Even so, so I wouldn't mind you calling me." Ruby stated. "You know I'm getting another surgery on Thursday. Adrien told me it wouldn't be long until I'm all better. The doctor assures me that I'll get better every day though it seems that it's a new one since my last doctor had a problem and couldn't continue my case. Why don't you come see me?"

Mathew sighs. "You know that's impossible I'm struck to this wheelchair, and I don't want to bother anyone in taking me anywhere, but I promise to call you tomorrow."

"Alright until tomorrow than." Ruby said sadly before hanging up.


"Edward told us wonderful things about you Roxie." Christopher, Elsa's dad, said with a smile as, he Ciel and Roxie sat at the living room.

"He wants to help me; he's a great person." Roxie replied with a smile.

"I think you can start helping one of my secretaries at the bank. She's an older woman and is about to retire, and you could take her place." Christopher stated.

"You know I'm expecting a baby?" Roxie asked.

Christopher nodded. "Yes but that doesn't matter after you give birth all the rights will be giving to you."

"You're Elsa's friend for a long time right?" Ciel asked curiously.

Roxie nodded. "Yes Mrs. for many years now."

"Well now, you have the job just say when you can start." Christopher stated.

Roxie smiled. "Whenever you want sir."


"What do you know about Mari Adrien?" Edward asked as they were having dinner at a restaurant.

"Well based on Sabine only Father Carlos knows where she is, but he won't tell anyone where she is." Adrien replied. "Plus there's Chloe."

Edward nodded. "And how is Chloe?"

"The same Edward her case is strange, and I don't know if I can cue her." Adrien stated.


"Viperion hasn't come back yet?" Mari asked Juleka as they were watering the plants in the evening.

Juleka shook her head. "No and who knows when he'll come back...you know he's not as bad as he seems."

"But he was hitting that poor guy." Mari replied.

"You don't know who Scorpion is Mari." Mari looks at her confused. "That's what that guy is called. He's a jerk who steals animals and kills them for no reason, and he's a traitor. Plus you didn't see what happened before, he took a knife and tried to stab Viperion." Mari looks at her shocked.


"You look much better like the old Chloe." Audrey said to Chloe as she was in her hospital room the next morning finishing her hair.

Adrien came in wearing a doctor's coat, and two nurses came in with him; he took a hand mirror and put it in front of Chloe. "Chloe look at yourself." Chloe looks but doesn't react. Adrien sighs. "Audrey I thought long and hard about it, and I've made a discission...I'm going to apply an electric shock on Chloe."

"No!" Audrey exclaimed in shock.

Soon after Chloe was tied to the bed connected to a machine. Adrien slowly neared the remote that would shock her near her head, and once it touched her a loud shriek of pain came out from Chloe's mouth as she tried to move.
