Nearly Caught
"Auntie!" Scottie yelled when I walked into Steve's house. I smiled at him and got down on my knees to receive a hug. I always loved how he ran into my arms upon seeing me. It honestly made me want children of my own but not at this point in time.
"Hey sweetie, how are you?" I asked him as I carried him into the living room where Steve was just grabbing his keys.
"I'm ok…my head hurts though." He said as I placed him on the couch.
I smiled at him, "Awe well we are going to have a lot of fun tonight ok?"
"Ok." He said.
Steve smiled and then padded my back, "Hey, how you holding up?"
I shrugged, "I'm hanging in there. Just a little tired from all the shows."
"It's fun being a diva huh?" he asked me.
I laughed, "I didn't know I was considered one."
"Heck yea you are…how have things been with that air head boyfriend of yours?" he asked. "Can I kick his ass yet?"
"You can in the ring but not outside of it. I need him for the wedding you know." I told him.
He shook his head, "I can't believe you are really marrying him. I mean I thought something clicked in your head at the Royal Rumble."
I put down my bag and then sat in the armchair near the fireplace. "He didn't know what he was doing Steve. He didn't mean to put me in danger I'm sure of it. Besides, the Undertaker has been missing for like a month now. I'm sure he's gotten over it."
"Clearly you don't know the Undertaker then. He never forgives or forgets…anyways all of Scott's medicine is in the kitchen. Make sure he's in bed at a decent time and I mean decent Serena."
I laughed, "I know what decent is Steve."
"You didn't whenever I was taking care of you. I couldn't get you to go to bed at all." He said.
I sighed, "Those were the good old days. I wish we could go back to those times."
"Why?" he asked.
I shrugged, "Things were simpler. I didn't have to worry about being an adult."
He laughed, "true, but you have become a fine young lady sis…don't let anyone take that away from you ok?"
I looked at him, admiring how protective he was. I remembered the times when I was in high school and he wouldn't allow me to have many boyfriends. I swore no one was good enough for me when it came to him.
"Ok Steve."
He smiled and then turned to leave, "Alright, behave for her Scottie. If I hear you were being bad I'll tear your hide. Understand?"
Scottie nodded, "Yes sir."
"Alright give daddy a hug." He asked as he bent down over the couch. I smiled as Scottie reached up and put his arms around Steve's neck. He was such a great father…if only David wasn't such a jerk…
"Ok goodnight you two." Steve said as he walked out the front door.
"Goodnight," I said as I got up and shut the door behind him. After locking it, Scottie hopped off the couch.
"Hey Auntie, can I go get my toys and bring them down here?" he asked.
I nodded, "Sure but why don't you play in your room for a few minutes so auntie can get a shower."
He smiled, "Ok."
I watched him go upstairs with a smile on my face. He was such a good kid. I hoped that I would have a wonderful child at some point and to someone who loves me. I quickly shook off the thought and grabbed my bag so I could go take a shower.
It felt nice to unwind and play with Scottie. After my shower, I baked him some cookies, gave him his medicine, and let him play with some toys while we watched Raw. I also got on my phone and called Mickie before her match to apologize.
"Don't worry about it girl. We were being kind of harse and we're sorry." She said.
I shook my head, "No I was just being childish. You guys were just trying to give me advice and I was being a bitch."
"No you were just reacting like any of us would have girl we completely understand."
I smiled, "Ok then."
"I'm glad you called by the way. Guess who returned to Raw?"
I sighed. "Oh God…the Undertaker?"
She nodded, "Yes ma'am. I saw him walking around the halls looking cocky as always."
I shook my head. "Does that man ever have a different expression?"
She laughed, "No not at all, anyways I thought I saw him talking to your brother earlier. They don't get along so I'm wondering what it was about."
I shrugged as I broke a piece of my cookie off, "I don't know, lately I haven't been asking questions."
"True, anyways I'll talk to you later girl. I've got a match." She said.
"Ok I'll be watching," I said.
Once I hung up I headed to the living room and sat on the couch to watch her match. As I watched it, Steve's house phone started ringing.
"I'll get it," Scottie said.
"no no no sweetie, let auntie get it." I said as I got up and approached it. I looked at the caller ID but didn't recognize the number. I decided not to answer it and went back to sit down. Just before I sat down, it started ringing again. I groaned and got up again, this time picking it up.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hello?" said a deep voice.
I looked at the TV screen, "Yes?"
"Who is this?" said the man.
I chuckled, "Sir, you called this phone so who are you?"
"Who do you think?" he asked.
I rolled my eyes, "Look I don't have time for games so if you're not calling for anyone here I'll just hang up."
"I don't think that's in your best interest dollface…if I were you I'd pay very close attention to tonight's show…" he said.
My heart dropped as I began to realize who I was speaking to. "How did you get this number?"
"That's for me to know and for you to find out darling…now a month ago you did something to cost me a shot at the title and I've been lying in wait to get my revenge…"
I watched to screen closely until I saw the camera switch to my brother walking in the hallway. He was almost to the arena when Kane appeared out of nowhere and began assaulting him.
"Steve! Oh my God!" I yelled.
"Auntie what's happening?" Scottie asked me, looking so frightened.
I gasped, "Scottie sweetie come here, don't look at the screen."
The Undertaker laughed in my ear as my nephew got up and came to me, "What's the matter Serena? You don't like the way the show's going?"
"You bastard! Leave my brother alone!" I yelled as I watched Kane drag my brother to a backroom and locked him in.
"Oh he isn't the only one I'm after lovely…just keep watching. I think you'll find this show a bit more interesting."
I did as he said and kept watching the screen. The camera followed Kane around until he made it to David's locker room. He kicked in David's door startling him from his stretching.
"What...the hell?" I said as I watched Kane begin to beat the living hell out of him. "Scottie go upstairs ok?"
"But auntie-"
I sighed, "Sweetie go. I'll be up there in a second."
The Undertaker laughed, "Oh Serena…that nephew of yours won't be safe just sitting upstairs all by himself…if I were you, I'd get him and get the hell out of that house."
I sniffled, "What are you talking about!"
He fell silent for a moment and then said. "This…"
Without warning, the window behind me shattered. I screamed and dropped the phone, before scooping up Scott and running upstairs. He started crying in my arms so I took him to his father's room and opened the window, "Listen baby, I need you to stay on the roof and be very quiet ok? Auntie is going to call the police."
He sniffled, "But are you coming back?"
"Yes baby, just stay here until the police get here." I told him before lifting him out of the window. "Stay here, "
He nodded as I shut the window and then crept back out into the hallway. I could hear some heavy footsteps walking around downstairs so I tip toed to the room I was staying in and grabbed my cell phone. I then hit 911 and let the phone sit under the dresser. After that, I hid under the bed and waited for him to make his way upstairs.
"Where are you bitch? I know you're up here somewhere." He said as he kicked open a door. "Come on out doll face. I don't want to have to hurt you."
I stayed right where I was. My heart was pounding so hard, I was sure he would hear me eventually. I couldn't believe he was coming after me like this especially with my nephew in the house.
"Alright girlie…I guess we're doing this the hard way then…after I'm done here…you can ask David why you're getting your ass kicked…then again I can see that he's already kicking your ass every now and then." He said.
I gasped, wondering just how in the hell he knew that. I hadn't told anyone that piece of information so…how did he know.
A few moments later he kicked in the door to the room I was hiding in. I tried hard not to cry as he walked around slowly.
"I know you're in here…I can smell that sexy body wash you wear. Tell me something…does David enjoy that body wash?" he asked. "Or do you wear it by choice?"
I wasn't sure what his point was to that question or why he was toying with me. It was obvious that he knew where I was so why not come and get me? A few seconds later, I heard sirens outside of the house. I closed my eyes and smiled with relief.
"Damn. Ok then Serena….I guess I'll catch you another time. This isn't over by a long shot sweetness…as far as I'm concerned…" I shrieked when he got down on his knees and looked dead at me. "…we're not even until I say we are."
I looked back at him with complete fear in my eyes. He smirked and then got up and left the house. I then crawled out from under the bed and went to get Scottie who was still on the roof. He cried into my chest while I carried him downstairs and opened the door for the police. I was so happy that I was able to save my nephew and myself from harm. I only hoped that he would lay off for a while…but judging by how cold he looked when he saw me…I was in terrible danger.
