Chapter 1 : flames
Lita took a ragged breath , she stared at her steering wheel, beginning to play with the threads that covered it . she wasn't sure if she should be here , she felt slightly out of place in the big spacious parking lot.
she had spent the last 7 years traveling with other superstars always entering any arena from the private back entrance never once seeing the front of any parking lot the arena had , and now it was foreign for her to sit alone in her car with complete and utter silence with only her racing mind and unsure judgment to keep her company .
Vince had invited her himself and was very persistent about her coming , after some persuasion she half agreed at the time convincing herself her sullied reputation from the previous year would hopefully be forgotten , As she sat alone now she was starting to doubt her previous agreement with vince , she thought back to her final match and frowned . She had a hard leave from the company and still harbored hard feelings towards Wwe , she had been the hardest working diva in the industry and wwe had screwed he out of her title match.
She had been elated her final moment in Wwe would be a title match, she felt she earned it after a long 7 year up hill fight but much like any horrible twist of fate her title , her hard work had been snatched away from her . Lita had been promised to win and then the following Monday relinquish her title for the divas to fight over like savage hyena to prove who the next top dog female would be , but sadly mickey James had persuaded Vince to let her win the match last minute since her new story line being written stated she would become women's champion and would rival with Beth phoenix, he could skip the hassle of wasting air time on the half naked bimbos piling in the ring that would be thrown out in a matter of seconds by her anyway.
Most diva matches were when people took snack and bathroom breaks , they pulled in no real ratings. Vince being a man all about the ratings and the money he could make off the powerful diva dispute agreed to let mickey win the title at survivor series . Lita tried desperately to forget that horrible night. Shaking the memories from that night out of her head , she looked around the parking lot from the safety of her tinted windows , it was starting to fill up with production trucks , police officers , fans and superstars . she thought for a small second about just pulling out of the parking lot and no one would ever know she was ever there , but she felt she owed it to her strong will and ego to stay and at least give the night a chance . She took a long hard breath and then exited the car , it was strangely chilly she slightly cursed herself for not bringing a sweater to cover her bare arms the black rolling stones t-shirt she wore was of no protection to the cold air that blew . moving quickly she grabbed her purse , keys and phone and made her way to the private entrance she was instructed over the phone by Vince to use .
she had no trouble entering the arena and with ease moved through the cluster of production equipment and superstars crowded in the open hallways , she moved quickly and hastily , trying desperately to find her dressing room , she was hoping Vince would have assigned a room to her that had ample privacy , she wasn't ready to mingle with her former co-workers , she was still unsure of the surroundings , she hoped no one would even notice her as she walked through the tiny walkways .
the hallways seemed excruciatingly long , finally after what seemed like hours of her searching finally found her dressing room it was placed secluded all the way at the other end of the building on hallway K , she was thankful for the privacy she would have. She stood in front of the door gazing at the pink and black name plate that read "lita" a smile crossed her lips as she opened the door and stepped inside the heavy metal door closing behind her. She released a breath she didn't realize she had been holding . Her heart had been racing since she left her car , she felt relieved no one had bothered her yet ,looking around the room she noticed how well put together it was, a nice leather couch , a glass coffee table ,a flat screen tv , a vanity light up with circular string lights , it was a much nicer room than she had expected by far .
She took her sunglasses off and placed them along with her other belongings inside her purse, she then placed it on the small glass coffee table , stepping towards the couch to take a seat she was interrupted by a knock at the door , she silently mumbled "god no the day was going so well" . Walking to the door in a swift manner she slowly opened it hesitating , hoping who ever was on the other side was not there to mock her , but to Lita's pleasure she answered it to a small young blonde girl who told her she was needed in hair and makeup for a scene later tonight .
Lita was dumbfounded , she hadn't been told she was going to be on camera , she wasn't sure if she wanted to be either .Was this why Vince had been so eager to have her there ? for his ratings ? to place her in a scene with an old rival probably Trish no doubt . Before she could ask any questions the girl walked away quickly leaving lita confused and curious .
Slightly annoyed by the last minute information she closed the door with more force than she was meaning too . She dragged her feet to the black leather couch and took a seat, crashing onto the soft squishy leather . she sat there in a daze , she wanted to leave , she wanted to run away from the arena . she felt tears swell in her eyes as the thought of possibly of being humiliated on camera again , wiping the stray tear that had fallen from her hazel eyes she stood up and collected herself . She promised herself she would give the night a chance & that's exactly what she was going to do & it would start by marching her beautiful red headed ass down to the makeup station to be complexion perfected for tonight's later events.
Leaving her belongings in her dressing room Lita stepped out of the room closing the door behind her and began to walk down the hallway . It was long and narrow with white brick walls but it now somehow seemed darker than when she first arrived , had it been this dim lit before ? Had she just not noticed ? Lita peered up toward the ceiling glaring at the lights lost in her own thought, suddenly she was abruptly stopped in her tracks . she felt the thud hard against her tiny body causing her to become astray from her thoughts .regaining her senses she looked up at what had stopped her , her eyes widened ,she felt her heart rate pick up again , her mouth going ungodly dry , her voice no longer existent and a cold chill running down her back , her cheeks began to feel hot .
Of course what had stopped her couldn't have been just an inanimate object , her luck never worked out that way . Standing in front of her was the 7 foot monster kane , her ex husband , the man that tormented her , the man that she had been impregnated by & forced to marry against her will . This man was of all things that she had to run into . She noticed he was dressed in his street attire and was holding his duffle bag with a set of keys attached to it , "fuck" her mind silently cursed as it clicked in her head , his dressing room was also on the same hallway as her .
kane peering down at his ex wife who was just inches away from him now , kane couldn't help but to form a slight smile by the look of fear on her face . He was a large solid man though and she had run into him pretty hard , hard enough to knock him back slightly with their impact , with a concerning look he asked "are you alright?"but lita did not answer , she ducked her face away from his view hurrying around him tucking away the stray hair from her face behind her ears , yelling over her shoulder in a small voice "sorry kane . Her mind now felt staticy , it felt like electric waves were surging in and out of her head .She ran her fingers through her hair as she thought to herself "why him , anyone but him , anyone".
kane watched her hurry away , he couldn't look away until she was completely out of his sight , he sighed when she was out of vision and stepped inside his dressing room , his room was dark light with red string lights attached to the back wall , it was empty except for a bench and a shelf for his things , kane did not like the luxury items the other superstars wanted in their rooms , he kept it basic . he set his things on the floor and sat on the soft wooden bench that he felt bend at his massive weight ,his mind was fixated on the red head , told himself after their publicly humiliating divorce he would never look at her with love , he would never show her kindness , his heart would never be entangled in her again But no matter what he did she was always on his mind ALWAYS . He thought back to that night on raw when she costed him the match against edge , he winced at the memory , he had never in his life felt as much pain as he did when he saw lita kiss edge.
He dealt with his heartbreak the only way he knew how by torturing those who caused it. For months edge and lita were haunted by kanes manacle laughter around every corner and the occasional cheap shot in the ring . He took great pleasure in bringing them discomfort , he would often sit and think of how he could be malevolent to the rated R superstar and his now ex wife . No one ever knew how much he missed lita though , even after the terrible heartbreak he suffered from her hand , he couldn't get over her , every night he layed in bed he wished lita was still laying beside him . He loved to watch her sleep , she looked so peaceful and beautiful , she would often roll over and put her arm over his chest and snuggle him close , those were the days he had been his happiest , those were the days he missed so terribly
kanes thoughts were unwelcomley disrupted by a light tap at the door , he snarled with hatred and yelled "WHAT?" the timid voice from the other side said "k..k..kane your match is next " he then heard the foot steps out side his down fade quickly, he grunted and stood up, stretching his massive form ,he grabbed his ring attire out of the bag and began suiting up he just wanted to hurry and get this over with , he know was not interested in his match , he wasn't interest in anything , the only thing he could concentrate on was lita .
"Damnit"he mumbled as he put on his wrestling pants , he had been so focused when he arrived at the arena , He was ready to take on his opponent tonight , but now his thoughts were clouded with those hazel eyes . In a fit of anger he hit the wall hard with his hands, then bringing his head down to rest against the cool bricks , why did she have to be so distracting ,why couldn't he just let her go , why couldn't this flame just die out already .
