Readers: Get ready for a twist you didn't see coming ;) This tale isn't over…not by a long shot.
Dark Princess: Epilogue
The Undertaker took very good care of me during those next eight days. My belly grew so large in such a short amount of time. In some ways I was really sad because I wanted to experience being pregnant for the full nine months, but I suppose this would do. During my last day, I took a stroll through the garden, to get myself prepared for my baby's arrival. The doctor had told me that walking would make the labor easier so, I took his advice. As I was walking, I glanced up at a window, seeing the Undertaker's eyes on me. He smiled and then tipped his hat at me. Suddenly I felt so dizzy that I fell to my knees in the grass. The wind started to blow around me and strange whispers began to fill my ears.
I couldn't make out what the voices were saying until everything went black. I could hear the beeping sounds of a heart monitor flat lining, doctors and nurses yelling clear…I felt pressure on my chest as electricity surged through me. My heart began to pound as I laid down on my back, looking up at the dark sky.
"Doctor she isn't responding…" the nurse whispered.
"We can't lose her! Charge it again!" the doctor yelled.
I heard something being powered up before the nurse yelled, "Clear!"
Once again there was pressure on my chest and electricity surging through my body.
"We've got something!" the nurse yelled. "Her heart rate is returning to normal!"
I shut my eyes and rested my hands on my belly which was slowly flattening out. What was going on?
"Rachel? Miss Gutierrez can you hear me?" the doctor asked.
As his voice echoed through my mind I heard a deep laugh come from within. It was the Undertaker for sure…but…why was he laughing?
"Rachel?" Rey's voice popped in. I popped my eyes open only to find myself laying in a hospital bed surrounded by doctors and nurses. Rey was standing on my right looking down at me and holding my hand.
"R-Rey?" I said hoarsely.
He smiled, "Hey sis,"
I glanced at the doctors and nurses before sitting up in my bed. "W-w-what's going on?"
"Miss Gutierrez, please try to relax ok? My name is Dr. Bailey. Do you know where you are?" he asked.
I looked around, "The hospital…but why am I here?"
"We'll get to that Rachel, do you know what day it is?" he asked.
I looked down at myself and saw that my body had returned completely back to normal.
"Rachel?" Rey asked. "Did you hear the doctor's question?"
I bit my bottom lip and glanced at Rey, "Yes…but I'm really confused."
"About what Rachel?" he asked.
"What day is it?" I asked. "How old am I?"
Rey glanced at the doctor as if he was scared, "Um, you've been here for a month. You're 18 years old remember?"
A tear fell from my eye as I looked at Rey, "Oh my God…Rey it isn't over."
"I'm sorry what isn't over?" the doctor asked.
Rey looked at me for a moment and then asked the doctor if he could speak to him in private.
"No Rey! Please you have to listen to me! This isn't over! He still after me!" I screamed as they headed for the door.
Rey glanced back at me, "It's going to be alright Rachel, we're going to get you some help."
I shook my head as he left leaving me all alone. I looked around at the room feeling like I was being watched. I raked my hand through my hair not believing he had tricked me yet again. Just as I laid down, I heard his deep laughter again. The lights flickered and I heard the lock on the door click. Getting scared, I sat up and pulled my IV out of my arm and hopped out of bed. Though I felt weak from being in bed I didn't let that stop me from getting to that door. When I put my hand on it, I tried hard to open it up but it wouldn't budge.
"Rachel…."
I froze upon hearing his voice and then slowly looked over my shoulder. There he stood at the foot of my bed with an evil smirk on his face. He had on his black wrestling gear as usual with the Championship belt around his waist. I backed into the corner and slowly slid down the wall.
"W-what did you do to me?" I cried. "Why are you torturing me!"
He laughed and stepped towards me, "Because…I still want someone in your family to suffer for all the pain they caused me…and since you're such an easy target…it only makes sense to use you."
"Why me! Why can't you torture someone else!" I screamed.
He raised an eyebrow at me, "Oh you mean like Rey for instance?"
I glanced up at him, "What?"
"You heard me love. If I stop torturing you…he'll be my next target. Do you really want that on your conscious?"
I cried harder, "No…but isn't there another way you can do this without scaring me like this or forcing me into one of your nightmares?"
He glared at me for a moment and then a smirk formed on his face. I tensed up as he stepped closer to me, reaching down and making me stand up in front on him. He ran his fingers through my hair and licked his lips before running his hands down the length of my body. "There is one way I can torture you without doing the scary stuff…but I must warn you."
He pressed himself so close to me that his body was nearly burying me into the wall. "You'll have to do exactly as I tell you if you want to keep Rey safe."
I shook in fear feeling like I was going to end up degrading myself just to keep my brother safe. But what choice did I have? It was either get tormented for the rest of my life, or…
"Alright…I'll do whatever you say." I said.
He smirked and backed off of me. "Good. I'll let you know more in due time. For now…get yourself healthy."
I nodded as he disappeared, so many thoughts swarming through my head. What exactly did he want from me? I didn't know…but I knew it had to be something I wasn't willing to do.
