Death of The Phoenix

Prologue:

8 Years Later

"Look, I told you not to worry about it, it'll be fine," Amy said, taking Paige's hands in her own and looking into her blue eyes, "Plus, you look great" Amy smiled, letting go of Paige's hands, Paige turned back around and looked in the mirror, smoothing the long, white wedding gown, it was called Suzanne Neville "Tiger Lily" and was strapless, with an extra long train, Paige smiled at her reflection, "That's the way, smile" Amy said, touching Paige's cheek gently, Paige nodded, only to encourage herself, "You think Jeff is ok?" she asked, looking at the ground, then back up into Amy's hazel eyes, Amy grinned, "He loves you, how many times do I have to remind you of that?" she teased, "I know he loves me, and I love him, that's why we're getting married" Paige reminded herself, but she could only think about Jeff, and what he was doing in the other room..

"Bro, calm down, everything will be ok" Matt said, rubbing Jeff's shoulders, Jeff nodded, "I hope so," he said, "Can't I at least go check on her?" Jeff asked, "No" Matt said sternly, a knock at the door startled the two brothers, and a sweet, young, southern, voice called "Is everyone decent?" Matt began to walk to the door to inspect the intruder, fearing it to be Paige, but he had only taken 2 steps when Jeff called "Yeah, Tigress, c'mon in" sure enough, a 14 year old Mercy, almost Paige's height, with her blonde hair pulled up behind her head, curled, styled, and teased until it looked perfect, and bright green eyes walked in, Jeff smiled at her, "You look beautiful" he said, she was wearing a long bridesmaid's dress that came down to her ankles, it was pale blue and had several super thin straps holding up a ruffled top before it straightened, "Man, I've been poked and prodded so much I feel like a cow or something" she sighed, sitting down in the chair beside Jeff, "Well you look great" Matt said, Mercy smiled, "Have you seen Paige lately?" Jeff asked eagerly, Mercy shook her head, Jeff looked up at Matt, "Oh, alright, if Tiger here will stay with you, I'll go check on Paige" Matt sighed, walking out the door, "Nervous?" Mercy asked, Jeff shrugged "I'm not sure what to feel right now" he said, "Be happy, we get to be a family now" Mercy smiled, "And I want that more than anything else, kiddo" Jeff finished, Mercy looked around the room and wondered what her mother was doing then..

Matt walked into the room that Paige and Amy were in, the two women were standing in front of the mirror, admiring Paige's dress, "Knock knock!"  Matt said, startling Paige and Amy, "Matt, hey" Amy said, turning around and causing her dress float around like a princess, "Wow, Amy, you look…I…" Matt stammered, touching Amy's shoulders and looking down at the dress she was wearing, it was identical to Mercy's, only larger, "Yeah, yeah, she's beautiful, what's wrong?" Paige broke the moment, Matt shook his head and looked at Paige, a small smile spreading across his face, "My little girl's growing up" he said, hugging Paige, "You look gorgeous" he said, kissing her cheek, then backing up and raising his hand to his eye, "Matthew Hardy, are you crying?" Paige asked, "No," Matt lied, "It's just, it seems like yesterday the three of use were playing in the backyard, and now you're marrying my baby brother" Paige hugged him, "I love you, Matt" she said, "I love you too, Paige" he said into her ear, "Thank you for everything, Matt" Paige whispered before she let go of him, the creak of a door broke the three from their trance, and in walked 6 year old Leila, with her wavy, raven hair down to her shoulders and her chocolate eyes she was the very mirror image of her father, she was dressed in a plain white dress down to her ankles with lace at the very bottom, and ruffles on the ends of the short sleeves, "Hi Mommy" she said in her sweet southern accent, "Oh wow baby, you look so pretty" Amy said, kneeling down and running her fingers through Leila's hair, "I'd better get back to Jeff and Mercy before Jeff brings himself over here" Matt smiled, kneeling down beside Amy and kissing his daughter's cheek, "Love you Daddy" she said, smiling up at him as he walked out of the room, Matt almost felt like crying again, she looked like a butterfly, so frail, but yet, so beautiful and strong, she was his butterfly, Matt thought as he walked next door and entered the room, Jeff and Mercy looked deep in conversation, but Mercy stood when Matt walked in, "I have to go check on Mom, then we'll get this show on the road" Mercy smiled and winked at Jeff before walking next door to see her mother..

*-*Wedding Time*-*

The whole ceremony was a blur to Paige, the only things going through her head was her love for Jeff, and how good he treated her and Mercy, and all the things he'd done for them, and how much she loved him, and how they were going to spend their whole lives together, and how much she loved him, and how great everything was going to be now that all the bad was over, and the next thing she knew, she heard the preacher say 'you may now kiss the bride' and Jeff leaned in, with the biggest smile on her face, she kissed her husband, Jeff…her husband, no, nothing could possibly go wrong now..

Muhahahahaha….so…can anything go wrong? Of course it can! But will it? Review, and you shall see!
