Bleeding Rose

Chapter 1: Life

"18…19…20..Ready or not here I come!" Jeff called through the hotel room, crawling quietly on his hands and knees into the adjoining hotel room and looking around, he suppressed a laugh when he saw two sock feet sticking out from under the bed, "I've…got ya!" Jeff called, sneaking up behind the two feet, a shrill cry came from under the bed as the little girl crawled farther under, finally emerging at the other side where Jeff was waiting, she screamed again and ran into the room that belonged to Jeff and Paige, desperately trying to reach Paige's bed, which was their "base", Jeff crawled along the floor until he was close enough to reach out and grab the little blonde girl by the waist and pull her down into his lap where they both collapsed in a giggling heap, just then, the door swung open and there stood Paige, her hair still colorfully dyed to look like flames, and her blue eyes set back in her head and seemed to glow, she was clad in an orange shirt that slightly showed her bellybutton ring, which was a small silver hoop with a small HB pendant hanging from it, and jeans, Paige smiled at the sight she saw, Jeff's freshly dyed blue hair was tied back in a loose ponytail, he was wearing a pair of his famous baggy black pants and a black muscle shirt, Paige's 2 year old daughter, Mercy, now had shoulder length blonde hair that Jeff insisted had to be dyed purple sometime soon, and blue-green eyes that were somewhere between Jeff and her mother, she was rather tall and muscular, with slight lingering baby fat, that was the only the only difference between Mercy and Paige, "Well, it looks like you two had fun" Paige joked, putting her shopping bags down, "Mommy!" Mercy yelled and ran into Paige's open arms, "Hi sweety, did you and Jeff have fun?" Paige asked, smiling past the little girl and at Jeff, "Jeffie said that when I get older he's 'onna teach me how to do a swa- …umm..swan-.." the little two year-old stumbled on the word, "Swanton?" Paige filled in, looking again past Mercy and at Jeff giving him a hard stare, "Oh c'mon Paige, she's only two" Jeff defended, "Exactly" Paige sighed, "Calm down babe, speaking of wrestling, doesn't someone have some training to do?" it was Jeff's turn to smile mischievously at Paige, who sighed, she went and quickly changed into a pair of gray workout pants and a matching gray tank top, and tying her colorful hair into a loose ponytail before picking Mercy up from Jeff's lap, "Let's go" she smiled, Jeff obediently got up and followed her out the door, "Where are we leaving Mercy?" Jeff asked, "Matt and Amy are meeting us in the gym" Paige said, leading Jeff into the large room with a single ring in the middle, "Jeff! Paige!" Amy's chirping voice sounded once they got through the door, "Hey there little Tigress!", "Amy!" little Mercy ran to the red-head and jumped into her arms, Amy groaned and lifted Mercy to her hip, "Nice to see you too" she joked, walking over to Paige and Jeff, "Hey Paige, Jeff" Amy nodded to each of them, Matt came up from behind Amy, "Hey bro, how you feelin Paige?" Matt asked, "I'm doing fine" Paige said, punching Matt playfully on the arm, "We're going shopping" Amy winked at Paige, "I just got back" Paige smiled, "But we're taking Mercy with us" Amy smiled, Mercy looked at her, "Shopping!" she laughed, "So say bye bye to mommy" Amy said, Mercy waved her small hand, "Bu bye" she cooed, Amy walked past Paige and Jeff, Matt followed, "We'll leave you two alone" Matt said, winking at them, "Be back in 3 hours!" Paige called after them, after the door closed, Jeff put his arm on Paige's shoulder, "You ready?" he asked, gesturing to the empty ring, "Yeah, lead the way" she said, her eyes still focused on the door, "C'mon" Jeff said, taking her hand and pulling her towards the ring, Paige finally turned her head away from the door and towards Jeff, "Ok, so we've covered the basics, now, we're gonna take to the air" Jeff said, climbing into the ring and then helping Paige inside, "Ok, let's take it to the extreme" Paige joked, "You remember how to do anything?" Jeff asked, before Matt and Jeff left for the WWF, Paige had wrestled with them, she was on her way to the top, but then, the impossible happened, her extreme spirit was broken, but that was history, and now Paige was determined to make the best of it and she was beginning to wrestle again, hoping that now that her spirit was in tact, she could regain her abilities in the squared circle, "I think I can still do a moonsault" Paige shrugged, "Ok, try it" Jeff said, gesturing towards the turnbuckle, Paige climbed to the top, the view from up there was amazing, it didn't seem to be so high when you were on the outside looking in, she took a deep breath and leapt off, performing a sloppy moonsault, "So, now I have a basis to start on, sorry babe, but the moonsault needs work" Jeff smiled, helping Paige to her feet, "I'm going to guide you down, ok?" Jeff said, again motioning for her to climb the turnbuckle, he watched her graceful moves closley as she climbed, her long dyed hair swayed gently in the light breeze that was formed from the AC unit, and her seemingly perfect features moved in pure angelic motions as she perched atop the turnbuckle, "Jeff?" Paige giggled and waved her hand in the air sarcastically, "Um, yeah" Jeff said, standing beside Paige, who was still sitting on the turnbuckle, and put his hands gently on her waist, "On 3, I want you to push off of the turnbuckle, like you're jumping, only I'm gonna carry you back down, ok?" Jeff explained, trying not to get sucked in by the hypnosis of her blue eyes, "1..2..3" Jeff counted slowly, on three, Paige pushed off and Jeff held her in the air as he flipped her perfectly, so she landed in the perfect position, "Great, now you do it without me" Jeff said, Paige got back up and climbed the turnbuckle, executing a near perfect moonsault, "Great! You did it!" Jeff yelled, running to Paige and hugging her, "You're a natural" he said, still holding her gently in his arms, "I learned from the best" she smiled, Jeff leaned in and kissed her, she pulled away with a smile, and rested her head on Jeff's shoulder, "Have you learned enough for today?" Jeff asked, looking into her eyes, and instantly falling under her spell, "Wanna go back to the room?" Paige asked, looking up into Jeff's glowing emerald eyes, and seeing the shock, "Are you sure that's what you want?" he asked, Paige nodded slightly, "I'm sure", "Well, ok" Jeff smiled, leading her out of the ring and towards the elevator, once inside, he lay soft kisses down her neck until the elevator door opened with a ding, and the two scurried out and into their room, Jeff opened the door and Paige stepped inside, sitting on the bed, Jeff came over and sat beside her, kissing her ear and moving down to her neck, and the neckline of her shirt, "You're sure you want this?" he looked back up into her eyes, "I've never been so sure in all my life, I love you Jeffrey Nero Hardy" she said, kissing him one more time before he moved his hands back down to her shirt…
