Author's note: Hey everybody, here it comes… the sequel to Behind Blue Eyes. I hope you enjoy it as much as you enjoyed Behind Blue Eyes… if you haven't read Behind Blue Eyes it would be wise to at least read through it so that you know who Marissa, Alexandria and Martha are because in this story there will at least be one more original character joining the gang…

Well I'm really sad to hear that Randy behaved like that and I hope he and the other wrestlers will work through it when he comes back after his 60 days leave... well in my fic Randy isn't like that (but I guess those of you who have read Behind Blue Eyes actually know that) and since this is fiction anyway I hope people won't be mad at me that I'm making Randy like I want him to be (character wise I mean)

And now enjoy my new story.

Zanderlover: I'll respond to your reviews and your e-mails soon... (my programm messed up a lot of my last mails so I hope I reach you) but I wanted to tell you that I really really missed you and I'm so glad to hear from you again 'big hugs'

But now onto the story...

Oh yeah: The parts in bold are again the way fans see the show on TV

Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me well except the ones you don't recognise

Summary: Shawn and Marissa are married and think they couldn't be happier. Chris and Martha are also starting to slowly admit what they feel for each other.
Alexi and Randy are also happy. What will happen when suddenly shadows of the past are coming back to hunt them, especially Randy? Will the Legend Killer and Shawn's daughter make it through? And will Randy's friends be there to help him? Will he let them help?

All these questions will be answered in:
Beware of Darkness

Chapter 1: Shadows

"Come on RKO. You need to see a doctor. This can't go on much longer." John Cena told his best friend exasperated. The two were sitting in a quiet corner in the locker room and he had been arguing with Randy for over ten minutes now to get him to see a doctor.

"No… I'm not going. It's just the stress John. All that has happened in the last weeks has taken its toll and in addition to that coming back to RAW, fighting regularly isn't a piece of cake either. I'm just not used to that anymore. And besides that we have a match to fight in a few minutes so there's no way I'm going to see a doctor now when there's nothing wrong with me."
"Randy, who do you think you're talking to? I'm just not some casual bystander. I'm your best friend and I know you well enough to know that it's not just the stress. You're always getting these headaches lately. And there's either something wrong with you or you are keeping something big from everybody else. So you either tell me what's wrong or I'm knocking you out, dragging you to see Martha."

Randy sighed. He knew that it was no use to argue further with the Dr. of Thuganomics because he definitely would stay true to his word.

So he looked at John but then lowered his eyes. He couldn't bear to tell John while he was looking at him.

Before he could say what was on his mind however, a voice suddenly called out to them.

"Hey Randy, John, are you ready for the match?" Jason Resso better known as Christian asked. He'd be one part of the tag team Randy and John would be fighting tonight. Tyson Tomko, Christian's tag team partner was already standing in the door to the locker room, waiting for the three.

"Is it time already?" Randy asked and rubbed his temple. His voice sounded awfully tired.
"Yes. Alexi is already waiting outside. In about five minutes the match starts."
"Oh okay…" John was equally surprised. In his little argument with Randy he hadn't noticed how time went by.

"Well then guys, let's go and put on a good show for the audience." Randy said cheerfully and walked out of the locker room, the prospect of seeing his girlfriend cheering him up considerably.

John shook his head a little amused. It was amazing how just the mentioning of Alexi brought a smile on Randy's lips.

"Hey John, are you dreaming?" Christian's voice brought the wrestler out of his thoughts.
"Sorry, just spacing out for a second." He called after Christian, who was already at the door.

John quickly shouldered his championship belt and then followed his opponents for the night.

While he was walking over to Christian and Tyson, Tomko asked: "Is Randy okay John? He looks exhausted."
John shrugged with a sigh. "I can't really tell. His headaches are getting worse but he claims that it's only because he isn't used to all the tour stress anymore."

"And you believe that?" Jason wanted to know.

"Not a word. Something's bothering him and I will find out what it is…" John promised.

"Let us know if we can help." Tyson demanded.

John nodded thankfully. "Thanks… actually there's something you could do. Convince him to come to the club with us tonight; perhaps Alexi and I together can get him to talk then."
"He doesn't want to come? But he seemed ecstatic when we talked about it a few days ago."
"RKO was back then but he told me earlier that something's come up and he can't come with us tonight. Alexi and I didn't have much luck to convince him to come. But perhaps he will come if you ask him."
Christian nodded. "Okay. We'll see what we can do." He wasn't very hopeful though because why should he succeed where Randy's girlfriend and best friend had failed.
"Thanks." John said again and looked around in the hall to make sure that Randy hadn't heard what he had told Christian and Tyson but Alexi and Randy were nowhere to be seen and John guessed that they had sized the moment to have a few minutes for themselves.

Christian, Tyson and John walked down to the entrance to the ramp and 'high fived' each other before falling into in ring mode, just in case a cameraman would zoom in on them.

Suddenly Randy and Alexi appeared out of nowhere, walking hand in hand towards them.

John realised that Randy looked a lot better than he had a few minutes ago in the locker room.

When the couple arrived at the group, Alexi gave Randy a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Show them what the Legend Killer is all about." She told her boyfriend.
"I will love…" The young Orton promised before falling into Legend Killer mode.

Alexandria went to stand beside John since she was his valet.

Alexandria Reed-Michaels was sitting in the girls' locker room to get ready for John's and Randy's match. Since she was Cena's manager she had to be present at ringside.

It was her fifth appearance on a RAW show but she was still nervous even though she was slowly getting used to it. The reaction of the fans had been positive so far and she got along with almost all wrestlers in the roster even though she avoided going near Triple H, Ric Flair or Sid Eudy if she didn't have to.

With a deep sigh she looked at herself in the mirror to check how she looked.

Her hair was done in a simple ponytail and she wore a black tank top with the chain-gang logo on it along with a jeans skirt that reached just above her knee. Black high heel boots completed her attire.

It wasn't the most comfortable outfit she'd ever worn but it was part of her role and she actually liked the top. It had been John's welcome present on the second show she had appeared in.

Problem was she couldn't really concentrate on tonight's show.

Randy was constantly running through her head. Her boyfriend had been really depressed in the last few days and Alexandria had no idea what was bothering him. The worst part was that he wasn't talking to her. He had even cancelled going to the club with the guys tonight even though Alexi had really been looking forward to a night of fun without having to worry about getting up early the next morning.

Looks like it won't happen… She thought with a sigh.

Hopefully John can find out what's wrong with Randy…

A hand suddenly landed on her shoulder, startling her out of her thoughts.

When she turned her head she saw Christy Hemme standing behind her.

"You need to get ready Alexi. It's almost time." The redhead told her.

"Thanks Christy. I'm on my way to get John and Randy."

"Good luck for the match tonight… even though we all know what's going to happen."

Alexi laughed a little. "Yeah… we all know what's going to happen…" She replied and stood up from the chair she had been sitting on before. She couldn't say she really liked what would be happening tonight and was glad that it was just a show and not reality.

"See you tonight Alexi." Christy called after her.

"Yeah till later." She nodded even though she wasn't sure if she would join the others at the club when Randy wasn't going.

But right now she didn't need to worry about because she had a job to do. Alexi could worry about her boyfriend again when the live show was over and she was back in her hotel room.

Alexi put a grin on her face and walked over to the locker room of the wrestlers.

In front of the door she saw Christian and Tyson standing, going over the upcoming match again.

"Hey Alexi." Jason had spotted her first and waved.

"Hey Jason, hey Tyson." Alexi greeted and walked over to them.

"Are John and Randy still in there?"
"Yeah… I'm going to get them for you."
"That's not necessary. I can get them myself."
"We know you can but Vicious is in there." Tyson explained.

"Okay, you go in there to get them Christian." Alexi gave in.

"See…" He grinned and opened the locker room door to go in there.

It didn't take long and Randy walked out the door.

For a moment, Alexi was a little shocked to see Randy. He looked pale and tired, even more than he had done when they had had breakfast together.

She decided not to comment on it but instead kissed him on her cheek.

"Hey handsome." She greeted.

"Hey love… come on we still have got a few minutes until the match starts and I need some fresh air."

"But…" Tyson started.

"Don't worry big man… we'll be back before you know it." Randy cut him off and took Alexi's hand softly and started to walk down the hall.

When they were in a quiet corner, Randy pulled Alexandria in his arms and hugged her tightly.

Alexandria was a little bit surprised at that. It was not that she didn't enjoy the embrace but it wasn't like Randy at all.

"Are you okay Randy? Didn't you want to go out for fresh air?" She questioned.

Randy let go of her and smiled at her.

"Actually that was just to get away from Tyson to have you alone for me for a few minutes." The young Orton said with a bright grin that made Alexi forget how pale he had looked earlier. The two kissed tenderly and when they separated Alexi was a little out of breath.

"I have to say I like the way your mind works." Alexandria told her boyfriend with a grin.

"And I'm glad to hear that." Randy replied and brushed a strain of hair that had gotten out of Alexi's ponytail out of her face.

"As much as I enjoy this I guess we should go back before they sent a search party for us." Alexandria reasoned and Randy nodded.

Hand in hand the two walked back to Tyson. John and Christian had joined him by now.

Alexandria gave Randy a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Show them what the Legend Killer is all about." She demanded with a grin.
"I will love…" Randy promised and to Alexi's amazement he changed into Legend Killer mode almost immediately and had that arrogant grin on his face.

The girl shook her head for a second before she went to stand beside John, who put a friendly arm around her.

"So Ms. Michaels, ready to put on a great show?" Cena asked.

"Yeah of course John." Alexi had barely time to answer to John's question before Christian and Tyson were called out.

"Let's go." John told her and took her hand when he and Randy were called out.

The Legend Killer looked at Alexandria's and John's joined hands for a moment and he knew that he would've been jealous if it was someone else than John holding Alexi's hand but he knew he could trust John. He was his best friend after all.

He quickly pushed this thought of his mind and rubbed his temple for a second before following John and Alexi down the ramp towards the ring.

"And making their way to the ring with a combined weight of 485 pounds: the current WWE Champion John Cena and the Legend Killer Randy Orton." Lillian announced and the fans started to cheer for them.

Tyson Tomko and Christian were already waiting in the ring and Christian was staring at Alexandria, who was walking beside John with a wide grin on her face.

When John and Alexandria arrived in the ring, John held the robes open so that Alexi could get into the ring, then he followed himself and turned around in the ring, with Alexi raising his arm into the air.

Randy was doing his usual in-ring poses.

When he was standing on the ropes with his arms spread and his trademark grin on his face, Christian ran over to him and pulled him down from the ropes and started to punch him mercilessly. The referee quickly signed for the bell to ring and the fight started.

John had a close eye on Randy throughout the whole match. The Legend Killer wasn't as energetic as he normally was and he seemed really distracted.

Cena winced when one of Tyson's punches hit Randy in the face because the young man wasn't able to get out of the way in time.

Orton fell flat down on the mat and didn't move for a moment and John had the uneasy feeling that he wasn't pretending.

Tyson seemed to notice that too because for a moment he was just standing there looking at Randy in concern, considering if he had really hurt the young man.

But then the young Orton slowly got back on his feet but he staggered and this time John wasn't sure if he was pretending or if he was really dizzy.

"Oh and what a cheap chair shot from Tyson against Cena. Now he's tagging Christian in, who has an easy pin against Cena since the referee hasn't seen Tyson's chair shot."
"Yeah and Randy's still out cold too after that nasty fall out of the ring." Coach agreed with Styles words.

"I guess there's nothing that will be stopping Christian and Tyson from winning the match." He added.

And indeed seconds later Christian pinned John, claiming another victory after using foul tricks.

The fans booed as much as they could but that didn't stop Christian and Tyson Tomko from celebrating.

Alexi crawled into the ring, kneeling beside John, trying to wake him up since he was still out cold.

Suddenly a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her roughly to her feet.

Alexandria looked up with frightened eyes when she saw Christian standing over her with that smirk on his face. And before she knew what was happening he pulled her in his arms and kissed her.

Alexandria struggled and tried to get out of his grip, slapping him on the cheek hard.

Christian immediately let go of her because he was so surprised at her action.

Tyson however reacted and grabbed Alexandria's arm again, preventing her from fleeing.

Meanwhile John and Randy had started to stir.

"Let's go." Christian mouthed towards Tomko and grabbed Alexi's hands, dragging her out of the ring and up the ramp towards the backstage area. The audience in the hall screamed even louder for Randy and John to get up.

"Help… John… Randy…" Alexi screamed, trying to be heard over the audience.

"What the hell is Christian doing there Coach?" Styles questioned totally confused and shocked.

"It looks like he's kidnapping Shawn Michael's daughter… this would be the perfect moment for the Heartbreak Kid to come to her rescue…"
"I know Coach but as we've seen earlier… Shawn isn't here tonight." Styles said and looked at the scenario with worried eyes.

"Look Joey… Randy and John are back on their feet."
And indeed they were. Randy was just getting up and John was already out of the ring, charging after Christian, ignoring the head wound the chair shot had given him.

Tyson and Christian thought it best to hurry up but Alexandria was slowing them down considerably and before they knew what was happening, John had reached them and knocked Christian away from Alexi, who quickly fled down towards the ring again to get the farthest away from Tyson and Christian as possible.

Tyson wanted to run after her but Randy stopped him by giving him a not so gentle RKO.

When Tyson looked up, he saw that Randy was rubbing his temple again. Staying in his role he kicked Randy's legs out from under him, sending the Legend Killer crashing onto the ramp.

"Ah…" Tyson could hear Randy's pained cry and then the young Orton didn't move.

Christian had meanwhile gotten rid of John and hurried into the backstage area. Tyson quickly followed.

John kneeled down besides the young Orton, gently tapping his cheek.

It was Randy's role to pretend to be knocked out but John really didn't like how pale Randy looked.

Alexandria came up the ramp, just as Randy began to stir again.

She had gotten a microphone and John's belt. The look on her face was still frightened.

John took the microphone hung the belt over his shoulder and crouched down beside Randy again. The Legend Killer was slowly beginning to sit up.

"Are you okay man?" John questioned, sticking to his text.

Randy just nodded and got to his feet.

John stood on the ramp, a hand around Alexi's shoulder and the girl clung to him still a little pale.

Cena stared into the direction Christian and Tomko had disappeared.

"Listen good Christian. You've crossed the line here Captain Charisma… You and your goon Tomko have hurt my tag-team partner and more important you've hurt Alexi… and I'll hunt you down for that, count on it… and I'll make sure you won't get your hands on her ever again. So watch out because you won't know when I'm going to strike."

With that John threw the mic away and his theme song was played.

With a satisfied look on his face he asked Alexandria to help her with Randy, who had steadied himself against one of those fences they put up to hold the fans back.

He put one of Randy's arms around his shoulder and Alexi took Randy's other arm, slinging it around her small shoulders too.

So the three walked backstage with the cheers of the audience following them until they were out of sight.

Jason Resso and Tyson Tomko had waited behind the scenes for Randy, Alexi and John.

They just came in with Alexi and John still supporting Randy.

As soon as the cameras were out, John and Alexi let go of Randy again.

"Man that was awesome… it looked so real the way you guys acted… and Alexi really looked terrified of me." Christian was still ecstatic.

John and Tyson grinned at each other. They too had really enjoyed the match because they both knew they had put on a good show for the audience.

"Woah… Randy are you okay?" Alexi's frantic voice brought them out of their thoughts.

John turned around and looked at his best friend in concern. The Legend Killer was even paler than before the match and was constantly rubbing his temple.

He now looked up, a small smile on his face to try to reassure Alexi.

"I'm okay love, just a little dizzy."
"Are you sure? I mean you're as white as a sheet." Tyson stated.
"Really guys… I just need to sit down for a moment." The young Orton replied and took a casual step towards a nearby chair.

He swayed on his feet and John quickly reached out to steady his best friend.

"I guess… I'm not okay… I think I'm going to be sick." Randy slowly managed to get out.

"Randy, come on man, let's get you to the doctor…" Cena said and motioned for Christian to help him, supporting Randy.

"Okay…" Was all Randy managed to get out before everything went black.
