Dawn Of The New Brood
This is my 1st wrestling fanfiction I've ever done. I've watched it for well over 9 years, personally loved the older stuff so I'm writing into more of those areas. I wanted to write something different from what I usually write for a change, try something new. Plus I loved The Brood, as most people I have my favourites and their one of mine. This is around 2001-2002 area, after Edge and Christian split up and the alliance had been tackled down. But with Christian still having his long hair : ) I don't own the people, just created the plot and what's in it, not what really happened in story lines.
A mysterious blood bath happens after one of Christians matches, he didn't do it but who did...? Return of The Brood? What's really happening and who's returned and why? And... Why are some people going missing?
The small long haired blonde wriggled around in his bed, finding it hard to get comfortable and relaxed. He wasn't aware of himself being watched, he'd been to wrapped up in his own thoughts to even worry about what was going on around him. He thought that now he was in his own room he was in total privacy and wouldn't be bothered, no need for worry. "Stupid Matt." He huffed to himself grumpily. "Can't believe that they'd think I'd do that. But even he's not as stupid as king of the stupid, Edge." He continued to roll over and frowned at himself. "Sometimes I even wonder why I broke it off with Edge..." He sighed. "It feels like I was almost... Influenced to do it. But... No one ever said to do it to my face. It's weird how things go like that... But never mind! I got what I wanted today. I beat The Rock today! All by myself. So... Why don't I feel happier?"
The blonde stopped light talking to himself after that, returning to trying to get to sleep and redirecting his thoughts. He had had a enough of that lot for one day, he didn't need to think about them now. After about 40 more minutes he finally settled himself into a not comfortable sleep. Even though he was in a sleep of sorts the boy rocked back and forth and muttered distress in his sleep.
"What are you doing!?" Exclaimed the female when her partner moved forward and started to walk over to the bed. "We don't want to be caught yet! What about the plan?!"
"Relax." The male replied simply and continued to walk up to the uncomfortable sleeping blonde. "He's asleep. And plus... I don't even need to use the floor! Being very quiet."
"But we should be starting the plan into action." The female insisted but followed the male to the bed.
"And we will. Tonight." The male smirked with happiness. He then turned his attention to the still asleep blonde that was sleeping uncomfortably in bed. He then held up his two middle fingers and kissed the tips gently and lowered them onto the boys forehead. Amazingly the moment he did that and took the fingers off the blonde relaxed and fell into a comfortable sleep, with a now much happier expression. "There we go, little one. Now sleep comfortably, you'll be needing all your energy for the future times." He was now satisfied with what he'd done and then turned to his female accomplice. "Now we can go."
She smiled and nodded in response. "Nice action." She commented briefly to what he'd just done.
"He's my little one." He replied simply.
"Awww... Look who's the great father figure." The female teased in response.
The male glared at her for a moment, not liking to be told that he was showing weakness or to much emotion. "I am the father figure of this brood." He corrected her. "And he's the baby of the brood, always has been and most likely always will be."
"I didn't mean it like as an insult." The female protested, speaking truthfully. "In fact... I find that... Attractive."
The guy smirked at the comment and gave her a quick seductive kiss that made both of them really happy. They both glanced at the blonde one more time before turning on their heels and leaving, they had a job to get done.
Christian now had more of an upbeat mood on him and it clearly showed in his face. He didn't really think that a good night sleep would do him any good but it obviously had, he'd never felt better. He even went into work early, he was well and ready to get on with his job. He had almost forgot about the night before... As if someone had shoved it to the very back corners of his mind...
Christian walked down the halls clearly, he found the place eerily quiet for the evening. Where on earth was the other wrestlers? Surely some of them must have turned up by now... Christian just shook his head, thinking that he was letting himself become paranoid. He really needed to stop over reacting to things recently... He continued to his dressing room like usual. What did it matter that no one else was really around? He still had his career to continue with tonight. But then again... He did have a weird feeling... He could've sworn he was being watched. But no one was in eye sight...
Christian nearly jumped out of his skin when he felt a hand being placed on his shoulder. Christian abruptly turned around, arms out as if ready to physically attack whoever it was behind him.
"Wow! Easy there!" Jeff started, seeing that he had really startled Christian.
"What do you lot want?" Christian grunted, realising it was Edge, Jeff and Lita.
"Well, hello to you too." Edge replied in a sarcastic tone.
"I said I didn't want to speak to you lot again, especially after last night." Christian reminded bluntly.
"Wow, don't try to improve your mood to much." Edge continued with the sarcasm. "Might cause yourself a break down."
"I was in a better mood... Till I got to this place... And seeing you." Christian sighed but still had a certain sharpness in his voice. "Somethings not right around here. Where is everybody? I know I'm early and everything but didn't think I was that early."
"Their all searching for Matt..." Jeff sighed with a certain sadness in his voice.
"Matt? He was fine last night." Christian replied with question on his face.
"He didn't come back to the hotel last night." Edge added.
"Maybe he just got lucky." Christian shrugged it off.
"That's not funny, Christian." Edge frowned and scolded his younger sibling.
"Matt would never stay out all night without saying something." Lita added with deep concern on her face. "He left just after we spoke to you. That's the last anybody has seen of him."
"Plus he would never miss a show like this." Jeff added. "He always turns up early and everything. And there's no sign of any of his stuff either."
"His stuff?" Christian questioned, almost having a duh mind today.
"Yea. His stuff isn't at the hotel or here, which is alarmingly concerning. Matt wouldn't just up and leave without saying something." Jeff replied.
"So have you seen or heard from him at all?" Edge asked.
Christian just shook his head, he'd sadly hadn't. Christian didn't like Matt Hardy much at this point, especially after last night, but even he had to admit that this situation was strange. Christian knew a ton of guys that would just up and leave at a drop of a hat but Matt wasn't one of them. "Is it just me or is something not feeling right with you guys either?"
"What do you mean?" Edge not getting what Christian was going on about.
Jeff Hardy however pulled a serious face and nodded discreetly back at Christian. Whatever that was going on around here, it obviously had gotten himself and Christian feeling the same thing.
"Oh... It's nothing I guess... It's just after last night..." Christian sighed but got cut off.
"It's alright, Christian." Lita butted in.
"It is?" Christian was confused.
"Yea. We all think you didn't do that Blood Bath last night. Must be someone playing tricks and whoever it is isn't funny." Lita explained roughly with a small sweet smile.
"Yea, it was stupid of us to think you would do that, even for a playing stunt." Edge added with an agreed nod. "Even you know the symbols of a Blood Bath and none of us are in that area anymore."
"But..." Christian started to try and protest.
"I wouldn't let it get to you. It was most likely just a one off." Lita butted in yet again.
"You just don't get it!" Christian snapped in frustration, he was not talking about the Blood Bath. And now, thanks to them, he now had that scene replaying in his mind. Now he felt stressed all over again. "... Oh! Never mind! You don't feel it Edge... I wonder why?..."
"What is your problem?" Lita retaliated in annoyance. "I know you're having a hard time right now but there is no need to take it out on us. Especially me."
"Sorry." Christian sighed for once, he never ever apologised but he saw he was getting way to snappy. It wasn't her fault. "It's just not you're area of understanding."
"Hu...?" Lita started but was cut off.
"He's right." Jeff butted in this time. "This is a 'different' thing, isn't it Christian?"
Christian just nodded, his mind working in overdrive yet again. He was now regretting that he stopped and talked to them now. He didn't need all this stress.
"Don't you feel anything, Edge?" Jeff asked in a worried tone.
"I have no idea what you two are babbling on about." Edge replied with his head shaking. "The Brood is long over and dead. He's not here anymore, it doesn't matter anymore. You two shouldn't drag up old memories and let yourselves be wound up like this. You two are getting paranoid."
"You really don't feel anything..." Christian sighed. "Maybe you're right... Maybe I am just losing it from all the recent stress..."
With that Christian turned around and headed off towards his dressing room. He needed to try and get some peace before his match and such tonight, it was never a good thing to over stress yourself before going out there.
Christian blew a sigh of relief as he'd just finished getting himself dressed, pulling his T-Shirt on. Tonight had been a long night. The scheduling had to be changed due to Matt being currently missing and so many people were out looking for him and stuff. It meant that since Christian was there he had to prolong and drag out his own match longer to fill the time for tonight, so not so many matches happened. Also he had to go out and do more interactive scenes with people that were there too. Christian felt like he'd been all over the place tonight.
Knock Knock!!
Christian's head jolted up to the door, quickly realising that someone was at his dressing room door. Great... Just what he needed! All he wanted was to go back to his hotel room, once again totally not in the mood to go out or anything for the evening.
"Yes?" Christian called out, sort of beckoning the person to come in. He soon returned to just tying up his shoes, so he could shift himself and leave this place.
"Christian?" Came a voice and the owner of the voice soon came into the room, shutting the door behind him.
Christian quickly glanced up and saw that it was just Jeff Hardy, no one to worry about. "Why are you here?" Christian asked bluntly. "We've both had a long night and I haven't seen Matt. Thought you lot said what you wanted to me last night and earlier."
"It's not just me is it?" Jeff asked slowly, in an uncertain voice. He walked over and sat in one of Christian's chairs that faced him. "You're feeling something too."
Christian had just finished tying his shoes, good thing because what Jeff had just said had him stunned and he put his foot down on the floor. Someone else was thinking something wasn't correct around here too?
"I feel like I'm being watched... Things mysteriously happening... And that Blood Bath yesterday." Jeff continued, worries etched onto his face. "And I think we both know what it means."
"I know somethings not right but... It doesn't mean anything." Christian tried to deny. "It's like the others said. The Blood Bath was most likely just a joke, like everybody else is saying. It means nothing, not one of us did it so it means nothing. No one's going to hurt us with a little fake blood!"
"But Christian! How do you know it isn't real?" Jeff replied, almost scolding him.
"Why? Did you do it? Or was it one of your pals?" Christian asked but was using more of an accusing tone.
"We didn't do it, I say that honestly because we were all together yesterday at that time and none of us did anything." Jeff defended. "Fine. Let's say the Blood Bath was a fake and whatever. But what about the feelings? Tell me... Have you been feeling them too?... The one's that keep making you look over your shoulder, the one's that make you feel like you're never alone. There's something or someone there..."
"..." Christian couldn't look Jeff in the eye, that almost gave Jeff the answer he was looking for. "And you think that this is a Brood thing?"
"Well what else do you think? There's all these signs possibly pointing that way." Jeff pointed out. "The feelings... The Blood Bath... Matt's disappearance. All in the course of a couple of days. That doesn't strike you?"
"For starters..." Christian replied, now with a frown on his face. He didn't want to believe that this was really a Brood thing. The Brood died a long time ago, besides none of them had heard from the 'leader' of that group in ages. Besides... Even if he did come back... Why would he do any of that stuff? The Brood was just a group, he should be over it like they are. "The Blood Bath was most likely a fake, a joke, just like what Edge and Lita were saying. Second, Matt's disappearance could be anything. We have no proof of what's going on there, he could be anywhere and doing anything. He'll turn up when he turns up, he's you're brother. You must know something about what's going on there yourself. I personally don't 'feel' like there's anything wrong with him, haven't got a bad feeling or anything. Thirdly... We could just be getting paranoid. Or they might be real... But... No one else is feeling the same as us. Plus what about Edge? He was in The Brood but not getting anything like we are."
Jeff pondered for a moment, taking in all of what Christian had just said. In a way he made sense, no one else felt the way they did... Were they crazy? No, that can't be it. Two of them felt this way.
"Ok... I admit somethings not right but we might just be going overboard." Christian continued, trying to reassure himself that nothing was really wrong.
"You're lying." Jeff replied simply with a frown on his face.
"Huh?" Christian questioned, couldn't believe Jeff was now accusing him. What had he done that was so wrong? Well... Recently anyway. He hadn't even had much of a real conversation with any of them for months.
"I can see it on your face." Jeff continued, still frowning at Christian. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You're just trying to deny it because you don't want to admit anything is wrong. But you know it's there, don't you Christian? I know that you know what I'm going on about."
"So what if I am?" Christian snapped back. "What are we going to do about it? Nothing. Because we don't know what the hell it is or what the fuck is going on? Understand? And how come it's just us two that's really feeling something? Matt didn't seem to have a clue and Edge hasn't got an idea in that blonde head of his of what we're even going on about."
"... Maybe because we're the youngest..." Jeff took a stab at it in attempt to think of something.
"What's with us being the youngest got to do with anything?" Christian shot back.
"Well I don't know! It just came to me." Jeff shot back in return.
"As a feeling?" Christian asked with a stern face.
"Yea... Ok, this is getting a little creepy." Jeff shivered at the thought.
"You said it." Christian nodded in agreement. "Because... I feel it too..."
"What are we going to do?" Jeff asked.
"I don't know what you're doing but I'm heading off to hotel for some sleep." Christian sighed.
"You can sleep at a time like this?" Jeff asked in a stunned voice.
"Time like this? Jeff, what else do you expect to do? We might have all of this but all we can really do is carry on with our normal lives. And now we're done with shows for the week and I'm happy to have some chill time now. You should be too." Christian replied with a certain firmness kind of voice.
"I can't, not while Matt's missing..." Jeff sighed in protest.
"From my gut instinct... I think he's alright. Well... Not dead or anything. If he hasn't returned for next weeks show, then I'll be really worried." Christian tried to reassure. Usually he wouldn't have cared less but it was a serious situation, for once and he felt somewhat tied up in it as well.
"I guess you're right." Jeff sighed. "But I don't think you should be walking around by yourself. Something doesn't feel right."
"Jeff, I'll be alright. I can look after myself." Christian pointed out in a stern voice. "Nothing's going to happen to me."
"I hope you're right." Jeff replied in a uncertain voice. Even with all the reassurances from Christian he still didn't feel right and wasn't totally sure of how correct Christian was. He hated the feeling of leaving Christian alone though... But what else could he do? He couldn't force him. He'd just have to go and hang with his friends and stuff for the meantime.
Christian stood up totally and picked up his bags that was filled with his personal belongings. He walked to the door and opened it, he stopped and waited for Jeff to get up and leave with him. Jeff soon got the message and got up from the seat and walked past Christian and through the door. He stopped and waited though as Christian let himself out and shut the door behind him. Christian then looked back up to Jeff Hardy, who was still waiting. "No mentioning this to anyone else but the people that already know."
"Of course, others will just think we're nuts." Jeff nodded in total agreement. "Just... Make sure you look after yourself, Ok?
"Will do. You do the same, stay with Edge or somebody if they make you feel comfortable." Christian suggested.
"My exact plan." Jeff nodded. "Take care."
"Same there." Christian sighed, couldn't believe that he'd just had a nice conversation with one of them, for once. It was usually just bitching about each other and so forth. Both of them parted and headed in separate directions to each other.
Christian had only travelled a good few yards when he heard a scream from behind him. His head darted to the direction that he'd just come from, he knew the voice that scream had come from. Jeff. Christian quickly ran down the corridors to reach where he thought he heard the scream. But found absolutely nothing around, even Jeff was nowhere in sight. Did he really leave that quickly? Strange.
"Jeff?" Christian called out, not to loud but loud enough to be heard throughout a good distance.
"Looking for Jeff?" Came a voice from behind.
Christian spun around to see that it was just Edge, his annoying big brother. "Yes..." Christian replied blankly. What was it to him?
"And why's that?" Edge prodded, wondering what Christian was after now.
"I just thought I'd heard a yell..." Christian sighed. "But I obviously got it wrong because he's nowhere to be seen."
"You're worrying over nothing." Edge responded softly. "I just saw him walking through the corridors. Looked like he was in a bit of a daze but fine, said something about going back to his hotel room and needing some rest."
"And he didn't want you going with him or anything?" Christian questioned, feeling something wasn't right about that. He'd only seen Jeff a few minutes ago and knew that Jeff was being very cautious about going around by themselves.
"I asked but he said no, wanted to be by himself." Edge shrugged. "You two have been acting so weird."
"Why are you acting so nice to me all of a sudden?" Christian demanded in an accusing tone.
Edge was taken back a moment but quickly frowned back. "Oh, I've got to have a reason now?" He shot back in a sarcastic tone.
"We hate each other." Christian reminded him in a blunt tone.
"Only because you're acting like this." Edge continued to frown. "You've made it this way."
"Yes, and now I just want to be alone." Christian shot back at him.
"You know Christian... You won't always want to be alone. And when you finally got that through your thick skull, I'll be waiting for you."
"Waiting? Ha! Don't make me laugh." Christian chuckled at Edge's words. "And why would you do that? After all the things I've put you through."
"Because we're brothers." Edge frowned at Christian's chuckling. "I've only got one and sadly the one I've got has temporarily lost his mind."
With that Edge just turned around and walked off down a different corridor. Most likely to collect his stuff from his dressing room and leave this place. Christian couldn't blame him there, he didn't like being in this place anymore than going to the dentist. "Edge is going soft..." Christian sighed to himself when his brother was out of ear shot. "Need somebody... Ha! I need no one on my side. I'm happy with being solo." Even though he said those words out loud, his mind and inner self was feeling differently to that opinion. He could still go solo in his career and have friends and get back a better relationship with his brother. To bad Christian's pride got in the way to ever accept Edge's offer... Plus Edge would just rub his face in it, wouldn't he? But then again Edge was right in a way, you do only get the siblings you get given in life and Edge was the only one he was given...
Christian suddenly shivered violently, why had it gotten so cold all of a sudden in this corridor? He felt like he was being watched again. Christian darted his head around extremely quickly in all areas around him but found nothing nor anybody. With that Christian turned on his heel and darted as quickly as he could to the exit of this building. He felt much safer when he reached outside...
I'm enjoying writing this piece and like how it's going so far : ) This chapter ended up much much longer than what I expected but oh well, hope you enjoyed it.
