(A/N:OK Please read, enjoy, review. Even the smallest of reviews warms my day & pushes me to write more. I don't own ANY WWE/TNA personal or likenesses, nor any of their family members. This is purely for fun & not based on real events. To everyone who is Reviewing or placing me on their alerts thanks you. I read every review & try to reply with at least a thank you. If I do not, don't think I am not loving reading them because I am.
A/N2: OK this is Slash. If you don't know it is MxM pairing. Don't like it or it not your thing feel free to go pick another story. Please REVIEW.)
Randy lead John towards the main door that separated the foyer from rest of the Penthouse. It was more a security measure in case the floor was accessed from the stairs instead of the elevator. The whole top floor was one huge suite. Randy knocked, his head bowed slightly as he waited for it to open. John's head was lowered focused just on the floor, he fought to not fidget. The door opened a moment later "Hello Randy…Sir." Hunter's voice greeted him. Randy hearing the word sir slowly lifted his head, he had many years of programming that would take time for it to be removed.
Hunter looked briefly at John before dipping his own head slightly. "Pleasure again John. Please…he has been expecting you." Randy nodded walking past Hunter & John followed a few steps behind.
Taker looked over seeing the two younger men enter. "That is far enough." Randy stopped & John spotted it doing the same. When Randy saw Taker stand & head towards him his head lowered back down. Taker's boots hardly made a sound as he moved closer.
"You did well…Payment settled with his watchers?"
"For now Master…there maybe discussion later on."
"Discussion about what?"
"Of maybe some sort of arrangement between us & Gangrel's nest. I had told them you make the final call in such matters Master."
"Very well…we will see. I see you have much to learn…you may lift your head Randy & go sit."
Randy slowly lifted his head, but not enough to look Taker in the face. "Yes Master." He slowly walked over toward the couch sitting on the end opposite of Ric.
John started to follow. "You stay whelp." John froze as a chill ran down his spine.
"Yes Master Taker Sir." A smirk crossed Taker's lips.
"Good…So you know some of our rules."
"Randy Sir…he has tried to instruct me in some ways Master."
"Good…Kneel." John took a shaky breath before lowering to his knees. While Taker indeed had a presence to him, John did not feel the same desire to want to obey as he does Randy, but he was told he had to follow all orders unless doing so placed him as dire risk. Even then refusal was frowned on. "Good…you will learn to react to commands in time without thinking. As our whelp, behind close doors we control your thoughts."
"Ye-yes Ma-Master."
"Crawl over to the chair I was seated in."
"Yes Master." Taker walked ahead of him & sat as John moved over towards him. Only a few moments & John had to wonder how Randy could have endured this for years.
He stops by the arm of the chair. "You are to stay there till instructed otherwise. A small test of your endurance. Until farther notice there will be a slight change to the no thinking rule."
"Yes Master?" John's voice questioning.
"Hunter & Batista's orders for you…you need not follow unless you wish to. They have broken rules of the nest & for such have lost the rights of their earned stations."
"Yes Master."
Taker turned his focus toward Randy & Ric. "Randy."
"Yes Master?"
"In addition to the whelp being able to refuse them…of course you can also veto their wishes. I will also need Ric & yourself to be truthful of what you see regarding them."
"Always Master, may I ask what it is we are to be looking for?"
A cold chuckle left Taker's lips. "Until I decide otherwise…in the eyes of the nest they are no better than your whelp…but more useless since their blood has no use to the rest of us. As such they are to be treated as such including the matter of their survival. Human blood nor their sexual essence is to pass either of their lips till I deem otherwise."
"Won't that harm them Master?"
"No…weaken…but not harm. They will still be stronger than a normal human."
"But if there is wolf activity?"
"There is one we know of…but they should know of our treaty…if not I will deal with the beast if he lays a finger on any of us." No one noticed Hunter shutter as Taker voiced his warning again.
"Of course Master, as ordered it shall be." Randy informed him.
Small talk took place for a while before Taker stood up again his gaze falling on John. "The Whelp is going with me tonight…appearance sake he nor I fit the appearance you four hold to the outside world.
"Yes Master." They all replied. Taker then looked at Randy. "Remember to the outside you are still the new guy, the one being taught by the others."
"Of course Master."
"We will take our leave, where is your bags Whelp?"
John sighed. "We forgot to get then from Edge & Christian Master."
"Very well stand & call their room tell them to have them ready for you in ten minutes"
"Yes Master." John stood up moving to the phone. He quickly filled Edge in & was told they would be ready. The last he wished was to anger Taker with John in his clutches.
John returned to the others & awaited orders.
"Hunter remember your orders in the next city."
"Yes Master." Hunter tried not to sigh as he spoke & Taker headed for the door. There was a moment's pause before John followed after him. Taker lead John back to Edge's room & knocked. Christian opened the door & tried not to shutter as his caught Taker's intense gaze. Taker turned looking at John.
"Out front 10 minutes." He then turned heading back down the hall before John could respond either way. Christian grabbed John's hand pulling him into the room.
Edge came over giving John a tight hug. "We only have a few minutes even if John runs down the steps with the bags." Christian warned him. Edge looked over at him. "Taker dropped him off & said he better be out front in ten minutes."
"Which mean not a second late…yes I know." Edge leaned in lightly kissing John before pulling away. "We have both bags ready for you, I am surprised he gave you any time without him or Randy by you…Where is Randy anyways?"
"Still with the others. He said that I don't fit the look of the others so I am to travel with him."
Edge lightly nodded. "What happened already?"
"No much…Master Taker had me kneeling by his side for the last few hours. If I was human I am sure they would be sore."
Edge nodded. "A simple request I am sort of surprised…the requests will cone soon enough & he won't care if You approve or not or even if Randy would approve. It is his word first & foremost, listen obey, don't question. I wish I could offer more than that. I am sorry we will no longer be by your side to protect you from that monster."
"We knew it was only a matter of time Edge…"
"Was any word given yet to out request?"
"He would think about it."
"At least it wasn't flat out denied." Christian told them.
"With Taker at times though it might as well have been." Edge sighed as he watched John. "Christian go head for the elevator & hold it for us we will be there in a moment." The whole time he spoke his eyes never left John's.
"OK." Christian grabbed his room key & headed out the door. Edge reached forward brushing John's face the younger man closed his eyes leaning into his touch.
"I know you are a strong man & in many ways still learning…even if you feel you can't survive this…remember I have faith you can. Also hope Randy can offer some haven for you even if I no longer can." John lightly nodded till he felt Edge's lips on his stilling him briefly till the older man let him go.
"Let's go we can't afford you to be late." Edge stepped for the door as John grabbed his bags. The brothers escorted John out of the hotel & waited as a black town car with tinted windows pulled up front. An older man stepped from the driver's seat & took John's bags loading them into the trunk. John bid the brother's good-bye, he wanted to hug them both, but he knew his new Master's gaze was on him & it didn't feel right. The back door was opened & John stepped inside.
As the door closed John lowered his head folding his hands on his lap before the car pulled away. "Everything in order?" Taker asked seated near the other door.
"Yes Master."
"Good…They won't be a problem will they?"
"No Master, they respect you & know I respect your wishes…no mater what you decide."
"It is fear more than respect whelp…"
"Why must it be fear?"
A low rumble comes from deep within Taker's chest. "It is faster to get one to obey by fear…then to fight for respect."
"Maybe…but respect can last longer as well…"
"You ask too much whelp…you are to remain silent unless I speak to you till we reach our destination. Understood?"
"Yes Master." John tried not even to give a sigh in fear it would be considered a sound. Undertaker the Master he feared…but Undertaker the 'man' the wrestler he respected & feared he was quit intimidating no mater where he was.
