Yes I'm aware that he is gone but I've done my WWE homework so there for I'm a huge fan so please don't judge me on this. I won't be updating this story to much. Just every now and again since I have to two more stories I'm working on. Also when your review this story PLEASE don't disrespect the Harts or anyone in the family okay.
Alright I'll see you guys at the bottom.
Kristina Daniels screamed as she shot up in bed. She'd been plagued by the nightmares of May 23,1999 for the last fifteen years. She saw her Uncle Owen fall to his death at the Temper arena when she was only three years old. her parents thought for sure over time she would have forgotten that night but the nightmares never went away. they on would get worse as she got older.
It had been the night Kristina had tried to end her life that had driven her father away and her mother to be left alone with a daughter who didn't want to live. It took about three second for Kristina to gather her surroundings she was home in Calgary with her mom in her own bed in her room. Hearing the soft knock of her mother Kristina took a deep breath as her mom open the door.
"Kristina honey.." her mom Lena asked as she walked over wrapping her daughter in her arms.
"Mommy.. I saw it again the same thing." Kristina said.
"Oh baby I know I wish I could take all away." Lena said.
Kristina started to cry harder into the her mother's chest as the memories of that night came running back into the four front of her mind.
May 23,1999 Kemper Arena in Kansas City Missori
Three year old Kristina Daniels couldn't keep the big grin on her face as she walked down the hall that lead to the locker room area of the Kemper Arena. It was her first time to be at a pay-per-view event. And her dad had promised that if she was a really good girl the whole plane ride down to Kansas City she would get a big surprise when they got to the arena. She had promised and kept to it. She'd been a very good girl on the plane ride and hadn't even cried when she wanted something but had asked nicely. Sam and Lena said they were very proud of her when they landed and said that since she had been so good they were going take her to see her surprise.
Kristina had been looking forward to this trip for a while she was going to finally see her favorite superstar and adopted Uncle Owen Hart perform live in person. Sam had grew up just down the street from the Harts and had been good friends with Owen and his brother Bret for many years since they were kids in school. Lena had gone to school with Owen's older sisters Ellie and Georgia and so the two families had been best friends for years. Kristina had pretty much known that the Harts were family so she always said "Uncle" and "Aunt" to them. Expect Diana the youngest girl who just called "Mean Diana". But Owen, Bret, Davey and Jim were her favorite "Uncles" and their kids were her favorite cousins.
As Kristina and her parents turned down the hall way she couldn't help but get more and more excited about just what her surprise was. Looking up at her mom Kristina asked.
"Mommy is my surprise seeing Uncle Owen?"
"I'm not telling you Krisa you'll just have to wait and see." Lena Daniels told her daughter.
"Please Mommy please with an extra cherry on top." Kristina begged.
"Now Krisa do Mommy and I have to take your surprise away?" Sam Daniels asked his daughter.
"No Daddy. I sorry I'll be good." Kristina said.
"That's my big girl." Sam said with a smile.
When they finally reached the locker room Sam told Kristina to wait right outside the door with her mommy while he went in and got her surprise. As went to open the door to the locker room her dad told her to cover her eyes but face the door so she could her surprise when he told her to open her eyes. Kristina did as she was told and covered her eyes. Sam smiled at his wife and open the door going inside.
It was only a few minutes when Kristina asked.
"Mommy what is takeing Daddy so long?"
But before her mother could answer someone picture up Kristina and gave her a bone crushing hug. Uncovering her eyes Kristina busted into a fit of giggles when she saw the blonde hair and blue eyes of her favorite Uncle in the whole wide world.
"Uncle Owen your surprise!" Kristina said with a big smile.
"That's right my little Krisa." Owen said with a big smile of his own.
"Do you like your surprise baby?" Sam asked standing next to his long time friend.
"I love it Daddy! Just as much as I love Uncle Owen." Kristina said throwing her arms back around the wrestler as best she could for a three year old.
Owen hugged her right back just as genitally as if she was his own daughter. That was one thing Sam and Lena loved about Owen was that he treated Kristina as if she was one of his own kids. They visited Owen up until the show started and then it was time to go out and join everyone else in the crowd. Kristina didn't want to leave but Owen promised that after the show was over they would all go out for ice cream and he'd read Kristina her favorite bed time story before her bed time.
Kristina nodded and gave Owen one last hug goodbye before she and her parents went out into the arena. Sam and Lena told Owen they would see him later after the show but what happen later on the night changed their plans and their lives forever.
They were sitting close to ringside when it happen. Owen made his decent from the rafters before something went wrong and the hook holding him broke. Causeing him to land on the top turn buckle and land flat in the ring. Lena had covered Kristina's eyes when she saw what had happen and told her husband to go see what had happen. But before Sam could get away the doctors and EMTs had already had Owen loaded on to the ambulance and were on the way to the hospital. When the show ended Sam and Lena were just leaving when Adam Copland "Edge" Owen's friend and fellow superstar came running up to them.
"Adam what is it? What happen to Owen is alright?" Sam asked when he saw the panic in the young mans eyes.
"Owen he...he... he didn't make it Sam." Edge said.
"Oh my god.." Lena gasped.
"Daddy what wrong why are you, Mommy and Edgy crying?" Kristina asked.
Edge keeled down in front of the little girl and took her hands in his. The tears in his came running down his cheeks in a water fall before he could get out the worse new you have to tell a three year old little girl or anyone for that matter.
"Little Krisa Owen... Owen went to heaven to night." Edge said.
"What that mean Edgy?" Kristina asked.
"His with the angels little Krisa. I'm so sorry sweet girl." Edge said.
"Uncle Owen... No Edgy you lie!" Kristina screamed as the tears started to fall.
Edge pulled the little girl into a hug and just held her. He looked up at her parents who were crying as well. He had been the one who wanted to tell them. Because no one else was in any shape and he though Kristina should heard it from some she knew. The four of them stud in the parking lot until Edge told them he needed to back in and get his things. He handed a crying Kristina to her dad and kissed her on the head and told her he was so sorry about her Uncle Owen.
Later when they reached the hotel room Kristina had cried herself to sleep and it broke her parents hearts to see their little girl in this kind of pain.
"She'll never get over this Sam." Lena told her husband.
"With time it'll get easier Lena. She probably won't even remember this in ten years." Sam said.
Oh but how wrong her father had been even when ten years rolled around the nightmare and memory of that night still flood his daughters memory every single night of her life.
End of Flash back
The next morning Kristina woke up to a cloudy and storm day in Calgary. "fits my mood actually" She though as she got up out of bed slipped on her house shoes grabbed her towel and headed to the wash room to shower and get ready for the day. After her shower Kristina went to her closet and picked out a pair of black acid wash jeans, her favorite Hart Foundation shirt and black heeled boots. When she was done getting dressed she brushed her hair since she didn't wear make she didn't bother with any and headed downstairs for breakfast.
When she walked into the kitchen she saw her mom sitting a plate down for her as she slipped on the stool at the breakfast bar. She just smiled sadly to her mother before takeing a sip of her orange juice. Breakfast had changed a lot over the last fifteen years and since her father left. She and mom never really spoke much because Kristina would still be upset after the nightmares and she didn't really want to talk. But she could tell that there something important her mom wanted to tell her.
"What's up mom you look really lost in though about something?" Kristina asked as she played with the small black and pink locket around her neck.
"I'm sorry sweetie I'm just kind of dumbfounded I guess your father called this morning." Lena said.
"Oh."
"He wants to see you. Said something you maybe going down and visiting him over summer break?"
"Where is he anyway the states?"
"No his living over in Toronto and he though you'd might like to come out and go with him to a show."
Lena said.
"I'll think about it. Oh crap I better go don't want to be late." Kristina said as she jumped off the bar stool and ran into the living room grabbing her solid black back pack with a union jack and Canada flag on it. The Union jack flag had been because of her Uncle Davey and of course she was Canadian after all so need to explain the Canada Flag.
"Krisa don't forget Uncle Bret is picking you up and your staying with him for the weekend." Lena called from the kitchen.
"I know mom. I'll see you Monday alright." Kristina said as she kissed her mother on the cheek.
"See you then baby girl have a good day at school Krisa." Lena said as her daughter walked out the door.
Ernest Manning High school. The only place in the world were Kristina didn't feel like a total outcast. EMH had been the same school her parents and the Harts had gone to. Sighing as she walked to her locker room Kristina was lost in her own world. She smiled as she saw the pictures of her and the Harts that decorated her locker room and touched the small locket around her neck. It had been a gift from Owen's wife Martha or Aunt Martha as Kristina called her. For her fourth birthday it held a picture of her with Owen's whole family on one side and small lock of Owen's hair on the other. It was the one thing in the world she had left other then the nightmares.
After she put her things away in her locker Kristina headed to her first period Creative writing class. It was the only class she actually liked because she could write just about anything she wanted to in that class. Being the first person she took a seat at the back of the class and waited for everyone to come. Finally when class started the teacher told everyone to write about a time in their life when things changed for them.
Taking a sallow breath Kristina took out her old pink notebook and pen to begin writing. I don't want to write about this. They all think I was nuts or something Kristina though.
Krisa no one is going to think your nuts sweetie you know that.
Kristina gasped when she heard the voice and turned around very quickly not seeing anyone behind her she shook her head and went back to working on her assignment. It hadn't been the first time she'd heard his voice but it still got to her especially when she was in public. The school finished early for Kristina as she only had five periods. Being really smart had it's perks she only had to go half a day and because of her training with the Harts she was allowed to leave early. When she exited the building she ran straight for black pick up truck sitting in the parking lot with headlights on.
Getting on the passenger side Kristina threw her arms around the driver.
"Uncle Bret your home!" Kristina said with a smile.
"Course I'm where else would I be?" Bret asked as he return the hug and smile both.
"I though you'd be on the road with Ty and Nattie." Kristina said referring to her cousins and Bret's niece and nephew in law was basically family just like she was.
"Not this time Krisa they don't need for a manager anymore." Bret said as they pulled out of the parking lot.
"Oh well how is David doing? I haven't heard from him in a while?" Kristina asked referring to Bret's nephew and son of the British Bulldog.
"His doing good. But hey enough about the rest of are you ready to spend the whole weekend with your favorite Uncle?"
"Do you even have to ask. I love spending with my favorite Uncles!"
Bret just laughed as they turned on to the street that took them straight to Hart house. Even though Stu and Helen were gone Bret and his family had moved in. Kristina loved staying there it felt more like home then her actual house. Probably because she'd spent so much time there with Bret his wife Julie and their kids. The two talked all the way there about school and what was going on in wrestling. It never failed that Kristina was always asking Bret something about the road that was one of the reasons she'd wanted to start training so that she could get into wrestling once she was good enough.
When they arrived at Hart House Kristina was the first one out of the truck and in the house. All of Bret's kids were grown so it was just him and Julie now. Looking around Kristina couldn't help the smile that was plastered on her face as she roamed from room to room looking at everything. She had stop to look at a picture that was on the first place when she heard the voice again.
Still love spending time in this place huh Krisa?
She so lost in hearing the voice again that she didn't hear Bret calling her name until he had shook her just a bit.
"Krisa you alright what is it your as pale as a ghost." Bret said.
"I...I.. heard him..." Kristina said.
"Heard who Krisa?" Julie asked
"Uncle Owen...I heard him Uncle Bret it's not the first time." Kristina said
Bret nodded and pulled the young girl into a hug. He knew everything about the nightmares she'd been having and about how she was hearing Owen's voice. She wasn't the first one to have gone threw this. A good friend and basically a baby sister to Bret Lissa could hear and see Owen to. He though about having the two girls meet one day but he didn't know if that was such a good idea since Lissa was a bit older then Kristina and she was still having a very hard time coming to terms with it.
After supper was done Kristina had helped Julie wash the dished and then headed up stairs showered and chained into a pair of red shorts and black and pink tank top before crawling into bed. She loved the room she slept in because it was Owen's old room. Well the boys room as it was called since all the boy shared the same room. She was just about turn off the light when Bret knocked on the door and opened it a crack.
"Good night little Krisa sleep well okay. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day for you." Bret said.
"Good night Uncle Bret and yes I know. Training starts tomorrow." Kristina said with a smile.
Bret smiled and walked in giving his niece a kiss on the head he turned out the light and left the room. Kristina laid down and snuggled deep under the covers as she closed her eyes and started drifted off she spoke softly into the night.
"Good Night Uncle Owen."
Good Night My Krisa sweetie dreams.
Kristina smiled when she heard the voice again and let sleep take over praying for a night of peaceful dreams in Hart house.
