Chapter Four – The Dark Hearted Kid
Los Angeles, CA
The ARK Angels of DX were trying to figure out how to pick up the pieces of their lives after the attack against their family by Cassidy, Charlene and the Damsels of Destruction in combination with the fact that Shawn Michaels was once again a card-carrying member of the Kliq he once hated. While Cheyenne still had her job with Best in the World, LC and Cameron really didn't know what to do with themselves because of the accusations brought against DX by the media and the Kliq Bros Inc Board of Directors, Cameron could no longer be youth pastor at Silver Trumpets church and LC lost all of her gospel music contracts. The Rock reached out a helping hand and asked them if they wanted to star with him in his latest movie and they told him they'd let him know once they figured out what they wanted to do. Out of love Rocky told them to call him anytime and that was more than they got from Shawn Michaels who starting hating on every member of the DX family since the 'Three Angels' exhibition in New York City awhile back. Cameron had never seen his father behave so badly but he had faith that an explanation for it would be uncovered soon then the ARK Angels of DX and ATM could tackle the problem at its source.
For the time being Cameron and LC found encouragement at the foot of Cheyenne's piano as she played as only she could and soothed their troubled minds with her Heavenly gift of music. The ARK Angels' musical reverie was suddenly disturbed by the doorbell and Cameron got up to see who had come for a visit knowing it wasn't the Hennigans because they were in New York visiting the Ortons and it wasn't the Batistas because they were busy with Brie and Justin Danner at MyHair downtown. It was Shawn Michaels and he wasn't very happy.
"Dad," Cameron said but the man in front of him didn't look human let alone like his father. "Come in,"
Shawn slithered into his children's apartment and when LC and Cheyenne saw him they immediately went into warfare mode but Cameron calmed them down. "Why are you staring at me like that LC?" Shawn said aggressively and Cameron stood in front of his fiancée.
"Dad you don't really look like yourself," Cameron said as LC tried to get a better look at his father. Shawn looked inhuman; his skin was tight and flat and his hair was long and shiny and his eyes were very pale.
"That's probably because I've had a really bad day Cameron," Shawn said bitterly, "Amy left me this morning,"
"What?" Cameron and Cheyenne said in shock but LC couldn't be happier.
"Have you seen yourself Shawn? I'm not surprised considering what a jackass you were to her on your birthday," LC said and Shawn glared at her darkly.
"Watch your mouth LC," he warned her.
"You mean the way you watched yours? You should be ashamed of yourself, flirting with McKenzie, kicking your friends out of the Sandbox, people you've shared the best part of your life with and now you come here looking like a lizard faced sea creature and you expect us to be sympathetic? I don't think so!" LC said.
"What I expect is to be respected for the man that I am, I expect that from Amy, I expect that from you and I expect that from the people I work with, now if that's too much for you kids to handle we're going to have a little problem," Shawn said and Cameron felt threatened by his father just like he did at the Sandbox.
"What do you mean by that dad?" Cameron asked his father.
"It means whatever I say goes son and if you don't like it-" Shawn started and LC stepped from behind Cameron and stepped up to Shawn.
"What are you gonna do if we don't like it?" LC said interrupting Shawn again and that was one interruption too many for him and he backhanded her across the room with so much force she landed in a heap at the foot of Cheyenne's piano.
"Lisa!" Cameron cried out and he saw blood run down her nose. "I can't believe my dad just did that!"
"Believe it," Shawn said coldly and he pulled Cameron back by his shirt and grabbed LC and held her up to the wall with his other arm. "Listen to me you reject; you were nothing but an orphan before we met you, a pitiful foster kid. Hunter and Joanie rejected you and if it wasn't for me you wouldn't even know who Cameron was so show a little appreciation before I smash your pretty face against my fist!"
Horrified and incensed by his remarks LC started to kick at Shawn but she didn't have to kick for long because Cameron spun him around by his shoulder and punched him in the face.
"Dad stop it!" he cried but the blow didn't even register any pain, Shawn completely absorbed the impact of the blow and Cameron realized his father wasn't human at all.
"I can see that my little warning about respecting me didn't go over too well, so I guess I'm going to have to beat some respect into you," Shawn said and Cheyenne watched in horror as her father kicked, punched and beat her brother until he was bruised all over.
"Cameron!" LC cried out and she covered him up with her already injured body but that didn't stop Shawn, he beat her too as she covered her fiancé like a human shield. When Cameron heard her cry out he shifted his weight so that he was covering her. He didn't know how long he covered her for, he was in so much pain from his father's assault that he was starting to curl his arms around her and they got beat-down together.
Cheyenne dared not interfere, with her Phenomenal Strength she could hurt her father fatally and then she'd have lost both her parents and she couldn't stand that, so she crouched down behind her piano and waited for the violence to end. When Cameron and LC had stopped crying out in pain Cheyenne heard Shawn call her name and she instantly prayed that he wouldn't beat her up too. Shawn had no intention of beating her up and he extended his hand to her and she came out from behind the piano. Cheyenne saw nothing in her father's eyes, not even her own reflection but she took his hand and they left the apartment and Cheyenne wondered what was going on, meanwhile LC crawled out from under Cameron and checked on him. He was barely moving but he was alive and he had enough energy to reach for his sister but by the time he reached out she was already gone. So he reached into his pocket and called Melina from his cell phone.
"Hello?" Melina said but Cameron didn't have enough energy to say anything. Trish told Melina to get over to the ARK Angels' apartment and she came running over with Johnny, Batista and Romeo while LC tried to stand up on her feet but it was no use her legs were damaged from Shawn's attack.
When Melina arrived at the apartment she saw the two bloodied, battered and bruised bodies by Cheyenne's piano and screamed. The scream was so loud Cheyenne heard it on the way to LAX airport; Shawn said that he was taking her to New York City on business.
"Come on mom let's get to work," Romeo said pulling his mother over to Cameron and LC and together through the power of the Holy Spirit they healed them both and then had them bathe in the Balm of Gilead. Melina gave them both Holy Amnesia so that they wouldn't replay the trauma of being beaten up by Shawn Michaels, seeing them the way they were before God healed them wasn't something that Melina, Romeo or Johnny were likely to forget anytime soon.
"Dear God," Batista said covering his mouth in shock while Melina called Trish and asked her what happened to Shawn to make him do what he did but she didn't get a response, Trish's phone was busy. Melina called Randy and he told her to stay with LC and Cameron, Trish was about to be given an offer she couldn't refuse by a man very few in the wrestling world would soon be able to resist.
The McCools, New York City
Trish hurried Rebecca Michelle as she packed up her things again to go stay with Amy in Florida. Amy had no idea what had happened to the ARK Angels in L.A. She called Trish and told her she was staying with the McMahons and Trish had to get Remi out of New York because Shawn was on his way there to see his daughter and given what happened in L.A Trish and Randy knew they couldn't let that happen.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Rebecca Michelle asked Trish as The Truth made sure that all of Remi's things were packed up. The McCools were on their way so see LC and Cameron, Carla was not happy about what Trish told them Shawn had done but Remi didn't know a thing about it as RJ had done an excellent job of distracting her.
"Because your mom wants to see you honey," Trish said. "We have to get going so you don't miss your flight,"
"Is everything okay?" Rebecca Michelle asked Trish who couldn't hide her nervousness.
"Yes sweetie everything's fine, well at least it will be soon," Trish said to Rebecca Michelle reassuringly and Trish kissed her on the head, "Come on let's go,"
Trish opened the apartment door to see Shawn Michaels standing there with Cheyenne Michelle and he was back to his snake creature like appearance. He lowered his pale greyish eyes down to his daughter and smiled but the smile wasn't warm and loving, it was vile and sinister. Trish gulped when she saw him.
"I've had a really bad day Trish and I'd like to spend the rest of it with my daughters," Shawn said to Trish who looked at Cheyenne; she was being the perfect daddy's girl, her allegiance to him was unquestionable.
Remi on the other hand looked at her father carefully, "Daddy you don't look too good, are you sure you shouldn't go to see Aunt Mel and get healed?" Rebecca Michelle said to her father and Shawn knelt down to her and put his right hand on her shoulder and she peered into his eyes and felt uneasy all of a sudden.
"Remi do you love me?" he asked her and Remi nodded. "Then who would you rather spend time with, me, RJ or that woman that used to call herself my wife?"
"Shawn that's enough," Trish snapped pulling Shawn's arm away from Remi and holding her tightly.
"Trish get Remi out of there!" Randy hollered up to the window from downstairs. He was waiting outside by his Hummer with RJ to take Remi to the airport.
"Cheyenne go downstairs and take care of those Ortons please," Shawn said to his eldest daughter.
"Remi!" RJ called out and at the sound of his voice Rebecca Michelle became excited.
"RJ!" she cried back and she bolted passed Cheyenne and her father all the way out to RJ and they both jumped into Randy's car and were on their way to the airport in a New York minute.
"Do you want me to go after them daddy?" Cheyenne said to Shawn and he shook his head.
"No, I'll deal with all of them, including that treacherous daughter of mine after I handle a little Kliq business," Shawn said turning to Trish who quickly blocked out the brutal images of Shawn beating up his family that were flashing prophetically across her mind.
"I know what you want Shawn, you want Amy by your side, you want her to be your lady in-waiting at Kliq Bros. Inc and you're mad because she doesn't want to do what you're asking," Trish said.
"Yes she left me so that's not going to happen and I can't tell you how mad that makes me," Shawn said coldly but the sound of Amy's name brought a glimmer of humanity to his otherwise unnatural face. "She hurt me and now I'm going to spend the rest of my life hurting her and anyone else that doesn't give me what I want,"
Trish recoiled as Shawn touched her face. His fingers were cold and waxy and there was no sensitivity in them but that suddenly changed as she touched him back by taking his hand in her own.
"I know you're hurting because you think Amy hates you for what happened with McKenzie back when you were running the WWE but she loves you Shawn, she's the one your soul loves there is no-one else. You're just hurt right now but it will pass I promise you if you just hold on she'll come back to you," Trish assured Shawn and Shawn started to cry.
"Trish I knew I could count on you to always say and do the right thing where me and Amy are concerned and that's why I chose you for my new faction. Together you, Cheyenne and I are going to create as much misery in Amy and Randy's lives as they have in ours and we're going to have fun while we do it," Trish gasped as Shawn squeezed her hand so tight she couldn't move. "I'm sick and tired of always being the one to turn the other cheek, aren't you? Randy betrayed you with Melina and you knew it was going to happen and you still forgave him. You're so loyal Trish and I need loyalty more than ever before," Shawn told Trish and she shook her head in disagreement but she still couldn't get away from him, her hand was trapped inside his.
"What you want me to do is not loyalty Shawn its cruelty, cruelty to your family and to your friends and to me. I've made peace with heartache, I don't want to be at war with the people I love, do you?" Trish said but she already knew what the answer to that question was and she didn't want to hear Shawn give it.
"The war has already begun and I want you by my side as we go into battle," Shawn replied and he Kissed Trish but not with the Kiss of Life as given to him by God but with the Kiss of Temptation that was to the soul what the Kiss of Life was to the spirit only instead of giving life it destroyed life. Trish felt poison come into her through Shawn's lips and all the bitterness and hatred he felt towards Amy started to infect her. She found herself unable to pull away from him. Something in his soul touched something in hers and as he deepened the Kiss his arm snaked around her waist and the color began to drain from her body leaving her as white as snow. Her warm almond eyes turned black like shark eyes and her appearance was ghastly. When the Kiss was over Trish no longer looked like The Truth, she looked like a creature from a book of myths and was unable to recognize God's voice or tell the difference between the truth and a lie. She ran her hands down the length of Shawn's body and then lay at his feet in total submission to his will.
"I'll never leave you Shawn," she told him and he smiled venomously at her.
"Glad to have you on the team Stratus, or as you will now be known as, White Snake," Shawn said he reached for Cheyenne who extended her hand to him with a smile. "Come here my loyal and beautiful daughter, the three of us are going to make sweet chin music together,"
Trish rose to her feet and looked Cheyenne up and down, her hair and skin were now the same color, "She doesn't look cool enough and her name has to go, what is she a country music singer?" Trish said and Shawn nodded in agreement; his daughter's modest apparel didn't give off the impression he wanted his new faction to have.
"Okay how about Fatal Beauty?" he said and Trish nodded.
"Yes that's perfect, now I just need to make her look beautiful like me," Trish said and Cheyenne recoiled at that idea.
"She already is beautiful," Shawn replied and Cheyenne smiled pleased at her father's remark. "Of course it wouldn't hurt to show off some more skin," he added and Cheyenne's face hardened with anger but she knew she couldn't act out on it.
"I'll take care of that, after I'm done with you Fatal Beauty, no man will be able to resist you," Trish said. "But if any man tries to mess with you, your father will send them to their eternal resting place,"
"You mean use Righteous Indignation, for evil?" Cheyenne asked her father.
"Righteous what?" Trish said and she and Shawn broke out in laughter and Cheyenne joined in pretending to find humor in a thoroughly unfunny situation. "Just let me work on your hair and makeup and you leave everything else to your father, the greatest wrestler of all time," Trish said.
"Not to mention the sexiest," Shawn added. "That's why my new faction will be known simply as Irresistible and we are going to inflict pain and suffering on everyone that tries to resist us,"
Cheyenne couldn't get over the dramatic change that had come over both Trish and her father; it was like they were the complete opposite of their Christian selves. For now she would go along with it but if things didn't get better soon she would need some help along the way from LC and Cameron who she hoped were praying for them all right now.
