Chapter Ten - Velvet Punch
The next morning Shawn and Hunter got home from Baton Rouge early and took the ARK Angels to school. Hunter decided to hang around just in case Vince and Jericho decided to show up so Shawn went back home to check on Amy. He walked into their bedroom and liked what he saw. She looked absolutely radiant, like she didn't have a care in the world which is just how he wanted it. When he came home he found the ARK Angels sleeping all around her in various places in their big bed, their company must have done Amy the world of good because her temperature had gone down and her natural warm glow had returned. Aurora was still sleeping beside her but LC had told him to make sure not to move Ro-Ro and to let her stay with Amy all day. Of course that meant less room for Shawn but he wasn't complaining, his wife's health meant more to him than anything else even with this thing with Batista and Punk going on she was still number one of his list of priorities in life - next to his children of course.
Shawn went down to the kitchen and made breakfast, he was pretty sure Amy would wake up in awhile and he wanted to surprise her with her favorite breakfast - a little bit of everything. Just as he was getting the strawberries out of the fridge the house phone rang, it was Rey Mysterio.
"Hey Shawn, sorry to call you so early in the morning but I had to call - I found Dave," Rey said and Shawn put down the strawberries.
"You did, where is he?" Shawn asked.
"He's right here in San Diego. I opened the door to get the morning newspaper and there he is!" Rey said.
"Is he okay?" Shawn asked.
"Well I was so happy to see him I just pulled him in the house and sat him down in the living room. He's asleep now," Rey said.
"I need you to check him out and tell me how he looks," Shawn said and Rey went into the living room and gave Dave a once over.
"His clothes are kind of okay I guess, there's a few rips here and there which is very unlike Dave. Oh my God," Rey said looking at Dave's fingers.
"What?" Shawn asked.
"There's blood under his nails and on his hands," Rey said getting a close up look and Dave bore his top row teeth and Rey gulped, "and on his teeth,"
"Dear God," Shawn said lowering his head in his hands, "Rey you are not safe in that house,"
"Shawn what happened to Dave man?" Rey asked.
"I can't get into it now I'm more concerned about your safety. I gotta make a call I'll call you right back okay?" Shawn said.
"Okay," Rey said and hung up wondering what had happened to one of his closest friends while Shawn called the only person he knew who could keep Dave from hurting Rey.
A few hours later Amy was taking an afternoon nap still cuddled around Aurora and Shawn was about to go and see the ARK Angels at Waterside when the door bell rang.
"Punk," Shawn said when CM Punk appeared at his front door, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to let you know that Batista is fast asleep and Rey-Rey is fine," Punk said.
"I know that, I called Rey's house and he told me Batista was sound asleep thanks to you," Shawn said.
"I guess I just wanted you to hear it from me," Punk said and Shawn noticed the circles around Punk's eyes had gotten thicker and darker.
"You still aren't getting any sleep are you?" he said welcoming Punk into the house.
"I don't want to sleep there's too much to stay awake for," Punk said.
"It may seem that way but really Punk you need to get some sleep for your body's sake," Shawn said.
"My body's fine it's my personal life that's in the toilet," Punk said and Shawn nodded.
"Oh you mean the thing with you not being allowed to see Velvet for a month," he said.
"Yeah why did you agree to it?" Punk asked Shawn.
"Because after what you did I think Jeff Jarrett had a right to protect the TNA roster," Shawn said.
"Do you still feel that way, after what I just did to Batista?" Punk asked, "I proved I could use this power for good,"
"Yeah you did only to come here and use that as an excuse to get Velvet back - that's not very good now is it?" Shawn countered and Punk's face tightened.
"I put Batista to sleep I deserve something for that," Punk said, "Call Jarrett and tell him to let me see Velvet,"
"I can't do that Punk and even if I did think Jarrett's actions were a little harsh I still wouldn't let you see Velvet until that power of yours is brought under control," Shawn said.
"Jeff Hardy can move water with his mind and I don't see you lecturing him about his God given power," Punk said.
"That's exactly my point Punk, Jeff's power came from God, it's sanctified. The power you have did not come from God, it came from those two girls who were pestering you at that club Venom in L.A a couple of weeks ago," Shawn said.
"How do you know that?" Punk asked curiously.
"It doesn't matter how I know it's the Truth," Shawn said and he got up real close and looked into Punk's eyes, "You can't go to sleep can you, that's why you look the way you look that demonic spirit is forcing you to stay awake,"
"I can go to sleep if I want to!" Punk argued.
"Then take a nap right here, if you do then I'll call Jeff Jarrett and convince him to let you see Velvet Sky again," Shawn said and Punk's face contorted revealing the agony that his body was in.
"I can't," he said with a strained voice, "I can't go to sleep," Punk fell to his knees grabbing onto Shawn's arms, "Help me Shawn, get this thing out of me!"
"I'll help you Punk, just close your eyes and relax," Shawn said.
"I can't close my eyes," Punk said frantically.
"Okay that's alright but if you feel like something's pulling on you don't fight it, that's just the demon trying to hold onto you," Shawn told Punk going down on his knees with his hand wrapped around Punk's left arm.
"Can I ask you something Shawn?" Punk said.
"Sure what is it?" Shawn said.
"How come when I tell you to go to sleep you stay awake?" Punk asked and Shawn realized he was talking to the demon that had taken possession of Punk.
"Get out of him demon leave him alone!" Shawn demanded.
"I bet your wife would like to see my new power, maybe I should go upstairs and show it to her," Punk said with a crafty smile.
"She'd kill you on sight," Shawn said to the demon.
"We'll see about that," the demon replied through Punk as the wrestler leapt to his feet.
"No!" Shawn cried out as Punk headed for the stairs and Shawn grabbed him, pulling him down the stairs and wrestling him to the ground, "Get out of him!" Shawn said to the demon sitting a-top Punk.
"Shawn what are you doing?" Amy said from the top of the stairs.
"Amy go back to bed!" Shawn demanded.
"Shawn you can't cast the demon out under your own strength you have to do it in the spirit!" Amy yelled, "You're gonna hurt Punk!"
"Get him off me!" Punk yelled.
"Let him up Shawn!" Amy said and Shawn rolled off of Punk and he headed for the door but Amy set it on fire so Punk couldn't escape. However the demon was so afraid of Amy it made Punk try to escape through the fiery door. Shawn tried to stop him and Aurora helped by making it rain inside the house, she put the flame out but Punk's left arm was badly burned by the flame.
"Look what you've done!" Punk roared angrily.
"Let me rub some balm on the burn it will heal it right up," Shawn said tenderly.
"No way are you crazy, don't ever touch me again!" Punk said and he stormed out of the house and Shawn took a deep breath before running up to the top of the stairs to put Amy back to bed.
"We couldn't help him," Amy said as Shawn laid her down.
"I got too emotional," Shawn said, "when he said he was gonna come up to you all I could see was red,"
"Literally," Amy said pointing to her hair and Shawn smiled kissing her head, "Trish was right, this isn't my fight this is yours, you and the ARK Angels, I just complicate things,"
"I don't want any complications, I want you to be at peace," Shawn said taking Amy's hands in his and kissing them, "I'll take care of Punk,"
"I know you will," Amy said confidently then she noticed a concerned expression on Shawn's face, "You okay baby?" she asked him softly.
"I saw the strangest picture on the ground outside Cameron's bedroom. It was of him and LC inside a big red heart but the heart was broken and he was on one side and LC was on the other," Shawn explained.
"That's not the picture I saw, the one Cheyenne showed me had them together in the big red heart," Amy said.
"Still it's strange but we've had enough strangeness for today," Shawn said getting in bed next to Amy and Aurora.
"Aren't you gonna go have lunch with the ARK Angels and Hunter?" she asked him but he shook his head.
"No, I'm gonna stay right here with you," Shawn said rubbing Amy's pregnant stomach, "and you," he said to baby Rebecca kissing Amy's stomach and Amy smiled and she finished her afternoon nap with Shawn and Aurora sleeping beside her restoring a sense of peace and security to the West Wing.
Matt Hardy's house, 4pm:
Jeff, Matt and Shannon Moore were in the living room talking about Matt's birthday which was coming up next Saturday and the kind of party they were going to have. Matt wanted to keep things simple but Jeff and Shannon had other ideas.
"I think everyone should party outside and the inside can be a museum of my aluminum art pieces, I can make some really cool ones for your party," Jeff said.
"That sounds like something we'd do for your birthday party Jeff," Matt said.
"I didn't have a birthday party this year, I had a wedding in Fiji remember?" Jeff said and Matt nodded.
"Yeah I remember and you did a great job decorating that bad boy to compensate for the birthday party you never had, you will not be doing that at my birthday party though Jeff because my birthday party is not going to be a display case for the Imagi-Nation," Matt said.
"Why not?" Jeff protested.
"Because your sculptures are so delicate and my birthday parties are so rowdy, one of them is bound to get damaged and then you'd be in a bad mood all night," Matt said.
"I would not be," Jeff protested again.
"Remember when you made me that 3-D fish and Shannon sat on it? You wouldn't talk to him for the rest of the night," Matt said.
"Well I spent a really long time on that fish," Jeff said and Shannon rolled his eyes.
"You spend a long time on all your sculptures it's just not a very practical idea," Shannon said.
"Not practical?" Jeff balked, "you want to tattoo people at Matt's birthday party, talk about not practical,"
"Hey people are into tattoos, it would be a big hit and you know it," Shannon said.
"And just where were you thinking of setting up the tattoo equipment?" Matt asked.
"In your living room of course," Shannon said and Matt shook his head.
"No, no way there'll be no tattooing at my birthday party," Matt said and Shannon pouted while Jeff laughed, "and there'll be no sculptures from the Imagi-Nation Collection by Jeff Hardy,"
"Oh!" Jeff pouted and now Shannon was laughing.
"What's so funny?" came the voice of Velvet Sky who came downstairs after talking to Angelina Love on the phone for over an hour. Jeff and Shannon turned to see her coming and looked at each other surprised.
"Come down and hang with us Velvet, we were just talking about my birthday party and nixing all of Jeff and Shannon's plans for it," Matt said and Velvet came and sat on the sofa chair next to them.
"How about we give all the guests makeovers and reveal the Beautiful People on the inside?" she said and Matt, Jeff and Shannon turned their noses up at her, "I'm just kidding you guys!" she said laughing and the boys gave a sigh of relief.
"Thank God I thought you were serious for a minute there," Shannon said.
"Yeah that Beautiful People act is sure convincing," Jeff said.
"What are you doing here anyway Vel?" Shannon asked.
"It's a really long story but the short version is I'm hiding from my boyfriend," Velvet said.
"You mean Punk, why are you hiding from him?" Jeff Hardy asked.
"Have you been around him lately? He's acting really weird, I don't feel like myself when I'm around him. Plus Jeff Jarrett banned me from seeing him for a whole month because of what he did at the IMPACT Zone," Velvet said.
"What did he do at the IMPACT Zone?" Shannon asked and Velvet frowned.
"DX didn't tell you?" she asked them and they shook their heads.
"DX have been pre-occupied with Dave Batista going nuts," Matt Hardy said.
"What's wrong with Dave Batista?" Velvet asked.
"He nearly killed Kofi Kingston at a house show and he stopped talking to all his friends on the RAW brand. Now there's some rumor going around that he attacked Candice Michelle and the police are looking for him," Jeff Hardy explained and Velvet Sky covered her mouth.
"Oh my gosh that's awful," she said, "Is Candice alright?"
"Yeah she's fine HBK healed her right up with this balm his wife got from God, Dave's still missing though," Jeff said.
"Maybe Shawn can use some of the balm on Punk," Velvet thought.
"What's wrong with him?" Shannon asked.
"He's got this power where he can make people go to sleep by just saying "Go to sleep," He used it on the guys at the IMPACT Zone, its pretty scary," Velvet said, "He's got this other thing where he can hypnotize you too. Joe and Homicide really chewed him out about it and Angelina doesn't want me anywhere near him. He put her to sleep as-well,"
"You're not making this up or anything are you?" Jeff asked Velvet.
"Would I be here if I was? The only reason I'm not with Angelina right now is because he knows I go around there all the time, he's been calling her house non-stop," Velvet said.
"Well I kind of invited him to my birthday party next week but I can un-invite him if you want," Matt said and Velvet felt bad about that.
"I don't want any trouble Matt, this isn't something you should get involved in," Velvet said.
"I'm already involved, because of him I can't see Christy at the IMPACT Zone, I wondered why she said I couldn't come up to see her," Matt said, "Punk got himself into this, if he does have this Go To Sleep power I don't want him at my party anyway,"
"He doesn't go out anyway," Shannon said.
"He went out that one time with Batista to that club Venom in L.A," Jeff said and Velvet furrowed her brow.
"Venom?" she repeated, "Why did he go there?"
"Because the RAW guys wanted to say goodbye to Trish and Randy there before they went on their honeymoon," Jeff said.
"Do you know the club?" Matt asked Velvet who was suddenly deep in thought.
"How would you boys like to take a trip with me to Los Angeles?" Velvet asked and Matt, Jeff and Shannon exchanged glances wondering what was in L.A that had gotten Velvet so ready-to-go.
Venom, L.A at 10pm:
A few hours later four wrestlers got out of a taxi cab and looked at the long line that led out of the nightclub Venom.
"Come on boys," she said strutting to the front of the line.
"Uh Velvet are we gonna cut in this line, the people look like they've been waiting a long time?" Shannon said.
"This can't wait, you guys are WWE Superstars act like it," Velvet said heading up to the bouncer at the front of the queue.
"Excuse me ma'am is your name on the list?" the bouncer asked her.
"I'm Velvet Sky, my name is always on the list," Velvet said and the bouncer looked at the list but her name wasn't on it.
"I'm sorry ma'am but there's no Velvet Sky on here you'll have to get in line," the bouncer said.
"Sure it is, look closer," Velvet said and the bouncer looked closer at the clipboard and she smashed it into his face and went into the club to find what she came all the way from North Carolina to get.
"Excuse me, we're with her," Matt Hardy said pushing his way into the club with Jeff and Shannon right behind him.
"Grab those guys!" one of the other security guys said pointing to Matt, Jeff and Shannon.
"Jeff turn on the sprinkler system!" Velvet said and Jeff looked up and made the sprinkler system come on forcing everyone to leave the club. When everyone was out Matt and Jeff locked the door while Velvet locked eyes on the two girls that she came to see.
"Well if it isn't the Twisted Sisters, Brie and Brianna," she said to the dark haired women.
"Velvet Sky," the women said at the same-time, "long time no see, what brings you back to L.A?" Brie said with a plastic smile.
"Unfinished business," Velvet said and she punched Brie in the face, she ducked when Brianna came after her and then punched her too.
"Oh my nose!" Brie said and Velvet grabbed her and forced her onto her stomach holding her in place by twisting her arm behind her back. She kicked Brianna in the stomach for good measure then turned back to Brie.
"What do you want Velvet?" Brie screamed in pain.
"The question is what do you want with me?" Velvet said.
"What are you talking about? ARGHHH!" Brie screamed as Velvet wrenched her arm back even harder.
"You know what I'm talking about Brie don't play dumb with me, you just count your lucky stars I didn't bring Angelina with me," Velvet said.
"I don't know what you're talking about I swear!" Brie said tears of pain coming down her face.
"Your oaths mean nothing to me, just tell me why you put that spell on my boyfriend and we'll take it from there," Velvet said.
"The cops are coming," Matt said looking out the window and seeing the blue and red lights flashing.
"Make it quick Vel," Jeff Hardy said.
"You talking about CM Punk?" Brianna asked trying to get up but Velvet kicked her back down.
"Am I talking to you huh?" Velvet shouted at her, "Are you going to tell me why you cursed Punk or am I gonna have to take your arm back to North Carolina with me?"
"Okay-okay he paid us to do it!" Brie cried.
"Brie shut up!" Brianna said and Velvet kicked her again.
"Who paid you?" Velvet asked.
"Chris Jericho, he told us to put a spell on both of them - CM Punk and Dave Batista so we did. I didn't know he was going out with you Velvet I swear I didn't!" Brie pleaded.
"Why did he tell you to put a spell on Batista and Punk?" Jeff Hardy asked.
"Get back Jeff, these girls are dangerous," Velvet said and Jeff listened to her taking her word for it, "Well are you going to answer the man's question or not?" Velvet asked Brie.
"Why are you sleeping with him too?" Brianna asked and Velvet smashed her face into the hardwood floor breaking her nose.
"Cops are here!" Matt said.
"Come on out the back," Velvet said directing the guys to the bathroom and they climbed out of the window and ran back downtown away from the club and out of the sight of the police.
"So Chris Jericho's behind this," Jeff Hardy said.
"I gotta see DX and talk to them about Punk, do you know where they live?" Velvet asked Matt, Jeff and Shannon.
"Are you kidding Jeffrey lives at the Sandbox," Matt said.
"Or maybe I should go straight to the horse's mouth," Velvet said.
"Confront Chris Jericho?" Shannon asked incredulously.
"Yes I want my boyfriend back!" Velvet said and Matt put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Let's start with DX, you don't wanna mess with Chris Jericho that man is one sick puppy," he said.
"Well if Punk doesn't go back to normal and soon, I'm gonna kick that sick puppy's ass," Velvet said and Matt, Jeff and Shannon believed her, she proved to them without a doubt that she was more than just a pretty face just like Brie and Brianna minus the evil.
