A/N: Wahoo first chapter of brand spanking new story :D! Alrighty everyone soo this symphony of horror is basically a reimagining of the 1922 classic (silent) horror film Nosferatu, the vampire. It takes place in Bremen, Germany and well...it's going to be awesomeness :). The characters are the same from my trilogy as are the personalities/relationships, sooo if you're not familiar I highly recommend you read the trilogy before you read this just for character development purposes, if not you'll catch on anyway. There is one veteran OC involved (from the trilogy) soo she'll be schizo-ing it up for everyone as always ;). These first couple chapters are not scary just to give you all a break from all the doom and gloom (that settles in soon enough), and instead of jumping around every two seconds I'm focusing on a couple characters at a time since there are about 33 characters in all!!!! Anyway here we go I hope you all enjoy this fresh start because I can sure tell ya I am!
Nosferatu
"COME ON…fuckin' GERMANY, Trisha!" Mindy shook her head and slapped her thigh, "Even I came out of hiding to come, you HAVE to! You don't have to DO anything just hang out with ME-I love you…!"
"Meem…" Trish tried to keep her voice down to a dull roar since her yoga class was in the middle of a relaxation exercise, "I have to stay at the studio who's gonna-"
"Make RON do it! He doesn't work anyway!" Mindy leaned against the cement wall of the AWD Dome in Bremen, Germany and rolled her eyes, ready to chuck the phone against the wall.
"YES he DOES, Meemy!" Trish shook out her long brown hair and gave her supine class a quick glance before slipping out the glass door into the tea room of her yoga studio in Toronto, "Besides, I REALLY don't like the idea of Paul Bearer being alone with your kids for so long I was planning on-"
"You have a stupid travel show just BRING it on over to Bremen and be with me! I'll make Glen go away, I promise!" Mindy pleaded with her twin, tangling a hand in her thick, straightened black hair.
"Stratusphere is HEALTH oriented, Meem" Trish shook her head in frustration, "There is nothing remotely healthy about-"
"Do a pretzel eating contest and have it with lots of mustard for all your viewers to enjoy" Mindy nodded conclusively, the person next to her cracking up. "Teach them carbs-"
"And when they're all breaking down my door from heart attacks I'll blame it on YOU" Trish finally managed to smile, fiddling with her wedding ring and waiting for her sister's next snarky comment.
"Will you PLEASE just come for me?" Mindy sighed, really not wanting to reduce her case to begging, "Michelle's being a nasty bitch again and Glen's not doing anything because he's stupid and he's afraid Deadman is just gonna knock his lights out for complaining"
"So just ignore her…" Trish peeked back inside her classroom while biting her plump lower lip, "you know you're not gonna get him to ditch her at this point."
"But I HATE her" Mindy whined, crossing her arms childishly and pouting her glossed lips.
"Look, Meem" Trish cringed at her class starting to wonder where she was. She put on some soothing music and had left them to lie on their backs without instruction, which she hated to do. "Sweetie, I have a class to teach you KNOW I'd love to be there, but-"
"AMY came with me with her BAND" Mindy dangled the bait for her twin, giggling and holding Lita's hand tightly, "and SHE'S retired TOO! We're retired, take a vacation!"
"Why is SHE there?" Trish was suddenly irked, which was the reaction Mindy wanted.
"She's been trying to tour in Europe for a while so I told her to just come with us and we'll help her out"
"YOU...? Booking something…?" Trish had to see that to believe it. Most likely Kane did all the dirty work while Min just smiled and looked pretty.
"Trisha…" much to Trish's surprise Mindy was actually annoyed, "I headlined with Korn last summer you don't think I can book a venue?"
"Min…" Lita elbowed the tiny Stratus twin, motioning towards the black curtain about twenty feet from where they were standing, "I think Kane's done, we can go now."
"Okay" Mindy held a hand over the speaker and nodded, removing her hand once more, "Trish how often does this come up?" Although she knew she shouldn't cave, Trish pinched the bridge of her nose and checked her reflection in the mirror across from her.
"How long are ya gonna BE there?"
"YAY!" Mindy giggled and clapped her hands together, bouncing and slapping a hand on the white, cement wall, "You're coming you're really coming!"
"Meem…" she could tell her sister needed her pills, "HOW…" she spoke slower to calm her sister down from overseas, "long…are you in Bremen?"
"I dunno" Mindy shrugged and noticed Kane was scowling at her, "like a while since Vinnie Mac is cheap and doesn't want to keep moving around everywhere."
"I'll do the best I can" Trish exhaled, slapping a hand to her forehead as her sister squealed uncontrollably from Bremen.
"OKAY! You have to tell me when you land so I can make Mark tell you where we're staying and you can sleep with me and Glen, we don't mind"
"I do!" Kane approached Mindy and took her wrist roughly, "How many times do we have to go over this?"
"I don't care I hate you!" Mindy ripped her wrist away and held one of her index fingers to her ear so she could hear Trish better.
"He's not hurting you is he?"
"Please…" Mindy shook her head and flipped her waist-length mane of hair over her shoulder, "he doesn't scare me…ten years ago maybe."
"Alright, I don't want to get you in any more trouble" Trish reopened the door to enter her class and turned down the music.
"No no it's nothing, really!" Mindy nodded assuredly even though Trish couldn't see her.
"I'll call you once I land alright…?" Trish tried to text her husband to book the earliest flight to Bremen he could get his hands on, "Just text me tonight so I know you're not dead."
"Okay" Mindy smiled and checked around for Lita, making sure Kane didn't scare her off too, "I love you but Glen is REALLY gonna kill me so I have to go now I love you."
"Be CAREFUL, Meem!" it made Trish sick to her stomach knowing that her paranoid schizophrenic twin was overseas with her monster of a husband when she should have been at home being a mother of five and writing her next album.
"Kay, I love you bye!" Mindy hung up abruptly and grabbed the raven-haired Lita's hand, keeping an eye out for Kane. "Did he say anything to you?" Lita shook her head subtly and shrugged.
"I wouldn't care if he DID" Lita tucked some of her fine hair behind her ear and the two headed towards Kane's dressing room, where they placed all their bags until they could get to the hotel. The superstars had literally gotten off the plane and were shipped straight to the arena since the flight had a two hour delay and they couldn't change the start time especially with the wacked time zone. Pushing open the door thankfully Kane was by himself, no Undertaker which would have brought Michelle…horror of horrors.
"Where's Deadman?" Mindy frowned, closing the door behind her and pulling the intimidated Lita further inside the room. Lita wasn't staying in the same room as her best friend and her ex but she did end up traveling to Bremen with them and she, like the Stratus Sisters, was no longer affiliated with WWE so she didn't get the luxury of her own locker room.
"Where do you THINK he is?" Kane asked nastily, he wasn't exactly president of the Michelle McCool fan club either.
"Chill chill-just asking…" Mindy went to lift her Prada bag when Kane lifted it for her, girly bag and everything…he wasn't so bad after all.
"So is she coming?"
"Who?" Mindy frowned, exchanging glances with Lita.
"Your stupid sister…is she coming?" Kane asked irritably, he loathed Trish from the moment he met her like it was nobody's business.
"Yeah" Mindy nodded, looking him in the eye sternly, "she IS coming…and you better be NICE to her or I'll sick Mark on your ass."
"Are you done?" Lita tried to change subject, asking in reference to Kane's match, which he took a moment before nodding and keeping his head down so he didn't look at her.
"Did you at least win?" Mindy asked while checking her makeup in the mirror.
"No."
"What else is new?" she asked nonchalantly.
"Come on, Minda…we have to get my brother" Kane lifted his own bag as well (but left Lita's stuff for her to carry herself) and extended his free hand for Mindy to come take, which she did.
"Do you need help, Aim?" Mindy craned her neck to see Lita got her bag over just fine, but Kane didn't wait for her to catch up before pulling Mindy off towards Taker and Michelle's dressing room.
