Disclaimer: I own nothing but ideas and my OC, Serenity. I don't own the song Can't Stay Away. That belongs to the group The Veronicas. Now, on with the fic!
This is wrong. I should be gone, yet here we lay 'cause I can't stay away…
They were never even meant to know each other's names. Jim Fullington was from Philadelphia, Serenity Brooks was from Chicago. Jim was an ECW Original. Serenity was the sister of the newest member of the New Breed. But, whether by fate or by chance, they met.
It all actually started when Phil Brooks, CM Punk, came to pick his sister up from the airport. Jim had actually been there hoping to catch a glimpse of the newest New Breed member. Much to his surprise, it was a young woman who just happened to be CM Punk's sister. He didn't know why, but when he saw her, something in him snapped, and he liked her.
Her hair was long, and dark brown colored and her eyes were a sharp, cerulean color. He was amazed that he could see that far. She was, in his eyes, everything that was good, pure, and perfect in the world. Jim tried to fight all that, but he wanted to get to know her. She was probably a good kid, no doubt. But at the same time, she was a New Breed, the Originals' sworn enemy.
The other New Breed members were there as well to meet their newest member. Jim could clearly see that Elijah Burke had a deep interest in the girl, which would probably lead to problems later. Jim had actually sworn off women years ago. He just gave up on it. He wanted to find just the right one, but never got it. Serenity sure as hell wasn't gonna be that one, so he got his head out of the clouds and kept focused on what he was sent to do: Spy on the New Breed. He watched them leave the terminal and followed after them, trying to make himself look discrete as possible….
Too bad Serenity had already noticed him. She was one of his biggest fans as a kid, and wanted to meet him. But she knew that would lead to further conflict with them. She wasn't even supposed to think about the Originals as long as the New Breed were around. But still…Serenity had a keen sense of curiosity about the man.
When she caught a good glance at him, he looked as though he hadn't changed much, if at all. He was signature black and his blonde hair was nicely cut. His long leather jacket covered most of him, but Serenity found herself admiring the strong look of his arms and the width of his shoulders. And his eyes…deep, fierce brown. It was something she had never seen before.
Serenity snapped out of it as Elijah caught her attention. He was introducing her to other members of the New Breed. She faked a smile as she shook hands with each member. She was one of them now, whether she had wanted to be or not. Bad part was: She didn't want to be.
Serenity followed her brother out, but not before catching one last look at the Sandman and whispering a silent goodbye to him. She knew he'd never talk to her. She was his enemy now, and she would never be anything more. She held back the small tears that threatened at the thought of it. Her one idol…she had to hate him now. It was the only way she'd be able to get by in the Land of Extreme.
A/N: How was this? Not too bad I hope. Yep, this is gonna play out like Romeo and Juliet. Hopefully this'll have a happier ending. See ya next chapter!
