Hey there here is my new story, I am going to attempt to write an old styley slasher fic. Please do not read this alone ;-)

Satan's Chimney

Live in London had finished it was a huge susses, but man everyone was tired. The jet lag had finally caught up with them and everyone was irritable. Calling a meeting Vince told them that they could have four days off until they were needed for the house show on Friday in Toronto.

Drew had decide to invite some of his closet friends up to his parents castle in Scotland, it was a huge place and had been in the family for may years, he knew that they would have the times of their lives there, and the best thing was, there was no one else around for miles. Turning around to face the others as they piled into the mini bus he instructed them to strap in and enjoy the view.

Mickie looked out at the scenery that was rushing past her window. The trees and the nearby landscape passed her by in a green blur, but the rolling hills and the forests beyond seemed to stretch endlessly before her and she couldn't help but be in awe of it. "God it's so beautiful here, I don't think I would ever want to leave." She said turning to Beth in the seat next to her. Beth had been looking over Mickie's shoulder to see the great green landscape that was Scotland in summertime. "I know, I don't know why we ever decided to build city's over all of this." Beth said as she noticed the two boys in front of her were too busy playing Nintendo to look at the scenery.

"Hey you guys your missing out on some really lovely views." Beth said tapping Cody on the head so he swung around to look at her.

"Once you have seen one tree you have pretty much seen them all." He said grinning at her and he quickly went back to his game as Ted yelled at his win.

"Men." Mickie huffed as Beth leaned back in her chair.

"What about us." Randy said from the seats behind them and Mickie almost jumped out of her chair in surprise.

"Jesus Randy way to creep up on a person you know." Mickie said as she turned her head and saw both Randy and John Cena were leaning forward arms rested on the girls chairs. Beth smiled at them and shook her head.

"We were just saying what a view those two were missing." Beth said craning her neck slightly so she could look John in the face as he was sat directly behind her.

"Well those two are kids they have no appreciation for beauty." John said with a wink too both girls and Mickie was starting to feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hey Maryse, how beautiful is it out there." Mickie said calling over to the blonde Diva who was staring out of the windows with her IPod on. "Pourquoi?" She said as just about herd her name over her music.

"I said isn't it beautiful?" Mickie reiterated for her and the French lady smiled. "Bon, it is beautiful." Maryse replied taking at look at the others on the mini bus. Drew was driving, he thought it was best as he was the only one used to driving a stick on the right, plus he knew the way. Ted and Cody were sat behind him, following them was Mickie and Beth. The two big guys came next John and Randy, it was hard for anyone to believe as much as they hated each other on screen, they liked each other off it. Maryse smiled she and Maria were sat opposite them and the chairs behind them were empty. "It is such a shame Melina could not come she would have loved this." Maryse said looking back out at the landscape and saw the rolling hills turn more mountainous. "Too right she is going to be missing one hell of a party." Maria said throwing a casual wink at the boys opposite her and they grinned back.

"Hey guys nearly there, hope your are all ready for this." Drew called from the drivers seat as they all felt the bus start to ascend as they began the long journey up the hill to the castle.

Mickie was the first to spot it, leaning forward with her nose pressed to the glass the castle loomed up out of the Scottish low plains and in the shadow of the mountain behind, it looked almost unreal, like something you would see in a fairytale story which began with Once upon a time. It had turrets all the way round, cornered with what looked like large towers topped off with a steep spire. "My god its amazing." Mickie exclaimed and this time even Ted and Cody had put away their game and were staring at the castle.

"Wow now that is what I would call a house." The son of the million dollar man said leaning over the front of his seat to talk to Drew.

"Been in the family for generations, but neither my father nor my grandfather really ever lived here, they only kept it because it was our ancestral home, that and for great party's." Drew grinned back at them all.

Steering the bus up the long driveway Drew pulled up and went slowly across the drawbridge, which led into a large quadrangle in the middle of the main structure of the castle.

"Holy crap you actually have a moat." Randy exclaimed and Mickie could not help the smile that came across her face when she saw the looks on the boy's faces.

"I know its so Lord of the rings." Drew said with a grin as he parked the bus and everyone collected their things and got out quickly not being able to wait to see everything.

Giving them a quick tor Drew pointed out the large structure in front of them and told them that they would find out a bit more about the stone cylinder a bit later on tonight. "For now let's go inside and get settled, you will be surprised just how quickly it get's dark around here." Drew said and Mickie noticed that although it was August and it was quite warm there was a cold breeze blowing across the courtyard which made her think of rain. Picking up her bag and taking one last look at the exterior of the building she could not wait too se what this magnificent and ancient castle looked like on the inside.

One by one they filled though the enormous lobby, right in front of them was a grand stairway leading to the upper levels, it was carpeted in royal blue and framed by a solid dark oak banister on both sides. The chandelier above their heads sparkled and Mickie was at amazed at how clean it all was, for some reason she was expecting it to be dusty.

"I got the maids to come and give the old place a clean, change the bed sheets you know, oh and the cooks here for our dinner tonight." Drew said almost as an after thought. Drew's family were very well off, but he thought nothing of it he was a down to earth kind of guy, but anything that made the stay for his friends more enjoyable he was going to do it.

"My god I bet this place has some history?" Randy said as they walked along the hallway passing paintings of battle scene's and hunting scene's lined both side only interrupted by the occasional door.

Finally Drew pushed open double doors at the end of the corridor, they swung open with a bit of a creak protesting under the stain of years worth of wood worm.

"I could get used to this." John said as he walked to one of the three large sofa's in the room. They all face each other to form a square around a fire place with a large Persian rug in the centre. Mickie allowed her hand to trace over the large globe placed on the side of one of the sofa's and it spun easily under her touch.

"Are now that has a hidden secret." Drew said as Mickie watched the world turn literally. Coming over to them having got their attention Drew clicked a latch on the side of the globe and stopped its spinning. Pulling at the edge of the cabinet it sat on the globe split in two to reveal a liquor compartment.

"Now that's cool." Ted and Cody said almost in unison then looked at each other in annoyance.

Drew offered them all a seat then asked them what they would like to drink. He handed around their chosen tipple and sat down himself with a happy look on his face. Taking a glance down at his watch he saw it was almost six o'clock. He had asked for dinner to be ready for half past so that they could eat before the staff took their leave for the night. He looked at his friends and he was glad they were here, it was about time they all got to have just a few days where they could just relax.

Maria was sitting next to Cody at dinner and she couldn't help but notice how he kept glancing at her. Smiling slight she almost did not realise that Beth was trying to talk to her.

"Sorry what?" Maria said to the blond who just quirked an eyebrow at her and said

"Never mind."

Mickie looked across at her friend and shared a knowing glance with her, she was sat in between John and Randy who had started a conversation about Scottish legends, but they soon realised that bar the film Braveheart they knew nothing about Scotland.

"I have a legend for you though." Drew said smiling and taking a sip of her scotch.

The table went in to a excite hush as Drew sat forwards placing his glass on the table and taking a deep breath.

"Do you all remember the large stone pillar that rose out of the middle of the quad?" Drew asked and he was met with nodding heads. Well I will now tell you about it.

Back in the late fifteen hundreds my family were not well respected, but they were feared, they had a reputation you see for the hatred of anything un-Christian, especially when it concerned the likes of witches. That structure was purposely built for the burning of them." Drew paused to gauge the reaction of the people around the table, but they were all holding their breath willing him to continue.

"They were taken down the stone steps under this very room, taken down in to the chimney and strapped to a stake, then they would be set on fire, the smoke would rise up though the hole in the ceiling, there was no other windows or exit's but nothing ever remained of the women they burnt down there, it was said that it was Satan's chimney and he took every part of the sinner with him though that hole straight to hell." Drew concluded and he looked at Maryse who had let out a small gasp.

"That's horrible." She said covering her moth slightly and pushing her plate away.

"Yes, but also completely true." Drew said as the remaining staff filled passed them saying their good byes.

"Did we miss something is there a fire?" Ted asked as he watched the men and women all make their way out at once and got puzzled.

"No not at all, they just don't stay after dark, we Scottish people do love our superstitions." Drew said with a grin as randy looked at him.

"Do they believe this place is haunted or something?" He asked as the Scott's man stood up and placed his now empty glass on the table.

"Not haunted as such, it is said that when all the witches were burnt here their soles did not always go t the devil, some of them stayed behind to get revenge on any one connected to the family or the men involved in their deaths." He said as they all followed him back into the living room. They all took a seat on the couch Mickie ended up sitting next to Randy and she suddenly felt like she was being moved in to his vicinity all the time, but she was to interest in Drew's story to notice at the moment.

"Go on so, how have these ideas survived?" John asked as he sat down and Maryse wrapped her self around his arm.

"Several things, some of them can be put down to usual things, the house going bump in the night as well, but the way my Grandfather died, that was the thing which prompted my father to say away." Drew said looking towards a picture that hung over the fireplace, it was a stern looking man astride a large bay horse surrounded by hounds.

"He was found in his bath tub his wrist slit, before he died he had written a message on the wall, it said I deserved this." Drew was quite for a few moments before he gathered himself.

"I think that is enough of the ghost stories for one night don't you, now who is up for twister?"

Several hours and several games of twister later they were all once again rolling around the floor laughing as they fell over on top of one another as Maryse called right foot green. Randy who had been leaning over all of them lost his footing and brought them all crashing to the floor.

Once the laughter died down Mickie noticed she could here the patter of rain against the huge bay windows and the moon that had been lighting up the sky could not be seen behind the clouds.

"I think it's time for bed." Drew sais as they all stood up and collecting their suitcases from the lobby they all headed upstairs. Turning on the light Drew took them to the second story, he lead them down the corridor telling them one at a time which room they were in, and although they were all on the same floor they all had their own room. Randy suspected this corridor ran the entire length of the castle between spires. Drew pointed to two rooms opposite indicated on was Mickie's the others Randy's. Giving John and Mary's the last two sets of rooms, he told them to feel free to help them selves to anything, and if they got peckish in the night they could go down to the kitchen and get something.

Mickie opened the door to her room, it was large with a four poster bed in centre, it had cream and soft pink sheets covering the mattress, with matching pillows. The carpet was cream while the floor to ceiling length curtains matched the shade of subtle pink. Putting her suitcase on the bed Mickie pulled out her shorts and top she was wearing to bed and decided the rest could wait until morning. Climbing in and pulling the soft comforter up to her neck she sighed and turned off the light. Mickie listened to the sound of the rain on her window for a moment, she liked the sound of rain it made her feel cosy, then she could here it, the subtle moan and creek of the old castle, she smiled slightly to herself knowing how imaginations could change what was really happening into some ghost story especially after the thing's Drew had told them that evening. Mickie allowed herself to close her eyes and just continue listening to the rain, until she heard the crash.
