Night Terrors

Chapter 2 A kick in the head

A few minutes later Stephanie arrived at WWE headquarters. She got out, grabbed her bags and headed inside. Everyone greeted her as she walked inside the building. She spoke to everyone and went straight to her office, "Good morning Stephanie!" spoked Jennifer her secretary. "Good Morning Jennifer, any messages?" Steph asked. "No messages, just a reminder you have meetings from 9:00 to 11:00, an interview at 1:30 about how well the company is doing and that's it for today." She told her. Stephanie nodded as she went into her office and sat down, she checked her phone to see if she had any messages. She saw the light blinking on her phone which meant she had a message so she hit play, "Hey sweetie it's your mother, just checking to see if we're still having lunch later. Have a great day and tell my favorite son in law I said hello love you guys, call me later." She finished. Stephanie smiled as she pulled her phone out and called her mother, "Hey mom! We can have lunch, I really need to talk to you about Aurora." Steph told her mother. Linda nodded, "Okay sweetie! Are you free around 12:00?" Linda asked her. "Yes I am I'll meet you at Chinese Restaurant on fifth street." Steph told her. "Okay see you then!" Linda told her before hanging up.

Steph hung up on her end as well. "Mom would know what to do!" Steph told herself. A knock on the door brought Stephanie out of her thoughts. "Your dad canceled the meeting for this morning, he said he'll call for the new time." Jennifer told her. "Okay thanks Jennifer, I guess I got a free morning then?" Steph asked. Jennifer nodded, "Yes ma'am, it sure looks like it." She told her. Steph nodded as she got up and grabbed her jacket. "Hey Jennifer, I gotta run a quick errand. If I get any visitors or messages can you hold them for me and let them know I'll be back?" Steph asked her. Jennifer nodded as Stephanie left her office and walked towards the elevator.

Meanwhile at Aurora's school...

In class Aurora was very quiet, her friends noticed and asked if she was okay. "Hey Aurora are you okay?" Asked her best friend Hannah. Aurora looked up at her, "What?" Aurora asked her. "I said are you okay, you're really quiet today?." She asked her. "Yeah I'm fine just sleepy." Aurora told her as she finished her drawing. Hannah nodded, she knew something was wrong but she didn't ask anymore. Aurora has been her best friend since she came to their school in first grade. Aurora was the first to introduce herself and they found out they had alot in common including art, karate, ballet, and gymnastics. In fact they had a gymnastics meeting that weekend and if Aurora wasn't focused then something bad could happen, considering the fact that she does the balance beam.

After art class they all went outside for P.E., "Hey Aurora coach said we're playing kickball today." Hannah told her excited. Kickball was Aurora's favorite to do outside especially with her friends because they always won, besides her father is very athletic, guess she got it from him. As they picked teams, Aurora couldn't help but notice something was very wrong with her teammates. It was like they were frozen but they reallu wasn't. She didn't notice until someone yelled her name, "Aurora watch out!" Stephen yelled. Stephen was Aurora's other best friend they lived right next door to each other and their mothers worked together at WWE headquarters, in fact his mom is Stephanie's secretary. Stephen ran up to Aurora along with Hannah and her other classmates, "Aurora are you okay?" Stephen asked helping her up. Aurora nodded as she felt her head, it was bleeding. "I'm fine but I think I hurt my head." Stephen nodded as he ran and got their coach.

Their coach ran over to them and checked Aurora's head. "Aurora I better get you to the nurse but I can't leave your class unattended, so Hannah, Stephen can you two help Aurora to the nurse's office please?" He asked them. They both nodded, "No problem Coach Franklin." Hannah told him as she looked over at Aurora who was still holding her head. "Come Roro lets get you to a nurse!" Stephen to her. A few minutes later they arrived at the nurse's office, "Nurse Cindy we need you! Aurora got hit in the head with the kickball and her head is bleeding a little!" Hannah told her. The nurse turned to them and checked Aurora's head, "I'll check her and keep her here for a little bit. You two better get back to class, I'll write you a note okay!" She told them. They nodded as they grabbed the note and waved goodbye to Aurora. After the nurse checked Aurora's head out, she gave her an ice pack and told her to lay down with the ice pack on her head. "I'll be right back sweetie, I'm gonna go call your parents to come get you okay, just keep that pack on your head." She told her. Aurora nodded as she laid down on the bed and closed her eyes.

Meanwhile back at WWE headquarters...Stephanie was in the middle of a meeting when her phone started vibrating. She checked to see who it was and it was a text from Paul.

"Hey the school called I have to go get Aurora from school, she got hurt in P.E." he told her.

Stephanie covered her mouth, "WHAT HAPPEN?" she asked.

"She got hit in the head with a kickball, she's okay but the nurse wants me to pick her just in case she has a concussion!"

"Okay I'm leaving now meet you in five minutes in the parking lot." She told him.

"Okay!" He text back.

Stephanie got up quietly and towards the front of the room where her father was at, she whispered in his where she was going and he nodded. "Make sure she's okay and take the rest of the day off you and Paul, don't worry about Raw tonight." He whispered to her. Stephanie nodded, "Alright thanks daddy I'll call you later so you can talk to her." Vince nodded as Stephanie left the room and went to meet Paul by the car.

Back at school...

In the nurse's office Aurora was still laying down when she drifted off to sleep. She woke up in a fog, and saw a car coming towards her but she couldn't stop them as she saw them going right towards an eighteen wheeler, than she recognized the car. It was her parents hummer. "Mom, Dad stop!" She yelled but they couldn't hear her. She ran after the car but she wasn't fast enough as the eighteen wheeler was coming towards them, Aurora screamed in horror. The nurse heard her scream and ran inside, "Aurora, Aurora wake up sweetie, wake up please!" The nurse spoke rocking her. Aurora sat up and looked at the nurse in tears. "Where are my parents nurse Cindy." Aurora askes in tears. Before the nurse could answer, her parents walked in. "They're right here honey!" She told her. The nurse moved out of the way so Aurora could see her parents. Aurora jumped of the bed and into her father's arms. "Aurora sweetie are you okay? You're covered in sweat!" Paul told her. "I was scared I wouldn't see you both anymore, I just want to go home!" She told him in tears squeezing him tighter. "Okay honey we're taking you home." Stephanie told her rubbing her back. Aurora nodded her head, "Can Murphy go home too?" She asked her. "Yes sweetie, we'll get her too." She told her. Paul tried to put his daughter down but she wouldn't let him go, and the more he tried the tighter she hugged him. "Alright I guess I'll have to carry you, thank you Ms. Cindy." Paul told her. She nodded her head as they left, "Get better Aurora.!" She told her as they left her office. Stephanie went ahead to Aurora's bag and to check out Murphy.

When they got to the car, Aurora finally let her father go long enough to put her in the car. "Wow this kid is heavy, I'm glad I still work out!" He told Stephanie. "Me too and she's calmed down a little. Have any idea why she was freaking out?" Stephanie asked him. Paul shrugged his shoulders as he helped Murphy into her booster seat and buckled her in. "I have no idea, maybe she'll finally talk to us when we get home." He told her as he closed the door and got in on the driver's side and Stephanie got in on the passenger side. The ride home was really quiet, they picked up Vaughn since they already had the older two on their way home.

As Paul turnes into the driveway, he turned the key off and stepped out. He got the girls out and walked towards the door with all three girls behind him along with Stephanie. Aurora actually walked into the house and straight her room. Paul and Stephanie just watched as they worried for their oldest daughter, "Maybe we should take her to that therapist, mom was talking about." Steph told Paul. He nodded, "Okay I'll call them and see when we can get an appointment, but until then maybe she should stay at home tomorrow just in case she have another nightmare or fall asleep. Besides the nurse thinks she might have a concussion, I'll take to her doctor tomorrow." Paul told her. Steph nodded as she held her husband closely, Paul kissed her on the forehead, "Don't worry sweetie she'll be fine, she has McMahon in her blood and Levesque which means she's tough and head strong. We will do whatever it takes to make sure she's okay I promise." He told her. Stephanie nodded as they went upstairs.

The nightmares was just beginning as Aurora starts showing a dark side and it all starts later that night.
