Chapter Eleven – Beauty for Ashes
The Sandbox, 7am:
Cameron came to the front door with LC and Cheyenne still in his pajamas with a cup of hot chocolate, Shawn and Hunter arrived with the Divas and Jeff Hardy and a bright-eyed Aurora Rose. Cameron reached up for her.
"Well done Ro-Ro you thwarted the devil's plan to destroy one of God's children's lives once again," Cameron said embracing his fellow ARK Angel. Joanie hugged Hunter noticing how tired he looked and spotted something at the corner of his mouth.
"What is this tomato sauce?" she asked recognizing the smell.
"I won't be having pizza for a long time," Hunter answered and Joanie noticed the band of women coming in from the DX Machine and shook her head.
"Something's never change," she said as the WWE Divas came in reluctantly.
"Its not what you think Jo," Shawn said ruffling Cameron's hair and giving Cheyenne a big kiss, "Where's the Most Beautiful Woman in the World?" he said looking for Amy.
"We need to talk to you both," Hunter said and Joanie frowned wondering what Shawn and Hunter were up to.
"She's upstairs praying," Joanie said.
"I'll get her," Shawn said running up the stairs while Joanie looked the Divas up and down, one in particular.
"I heard you got a little drug problem?" Chyna said to Candice who didn't answer her, Hunter shook his head knowing that was no way to treat Joanie especially if you were a WWE Diva, "Something wrong with your mouth?" Chyna asked firmly but Candice remained silent.
"I guess that answers your question," Hunter said while LC shook her head.
"Stupid girls, destroying your bodies with diets and healthy eating is one thing but drugs? How dumb can you be?" she said and the Divas hung their heads in shame.
"What do you know about it little girl?" Candice said mockingly and LC raised an eyebrow.
"So you do speak?" she said and Hunter put her on his shoulders.
"This is not the time to be running your mouth Candice, if I were you I'd shut up and listen because when the women of this house are through with you you're gonna worship the ground Joanie, Amy and LC walk on," Hunter said.
"The only person Candice will be worshipping is Jesus," Cameron said as Amy came down the stairs with Shawn, her hair disheveled and her face tired from lack of sleep. The Divas and Jeff Hardy couldn't believe it when they saw her.
"What happened to you Amy?" Jeff said in disbelief.
"I stayed up all night praying for the Divas," Amy said and the Divas didn't know whether to be flattered or appalled.
"Amy I am so sorry I violated the Wellness Policy I didn't think!" Torrie yelled out and the Anointed one nodded.
"I didn't think anything of it until it was too late!" Layla El added and the Anointed one nodded.
"I just wanted to be on top of my division, it was a mistake and I'm sorry!" Mickie James said and the Anointed one nodded.
"So can we go home now?" Kelly Kelly asked.
"No way, as of right now you're all on our time and we've got a lot of it so get comfortable," Amy said and the Divas whined and Shawn and Hunter laughed.
"We'll leave the girls in your capable hands," Shawn said planting a kiss on his wife's tired face rejuvenating her with his smile.
"Here comes the pain," Hunter said with a chuckle knowing his girlfriend was definitely gonna be the bad cop, "come on kids we're taking you to school today,"
"YEAH!" the ARK Angels cheered and ran up to their bedroom to get dressed while Amy pulled the hair out of her face and looked all the Divas in the eye, her warm hazel orbs burning into their scared ones.
"Take a good look at me girls, I stayed up all night for each of you because The Amazing Cameron told me what was gonna happen once you took one of those Skittle-looking drugs," Amy said, "I was so sure my husband was going to fire you, do you know how close you came to losing your jobs yesterday?" Amy asked them and they looked at the floor ashamed.
"How close did they come mommy?" Cheyenne asked Amy.
"Go upstairs and get ready for school sweetie, this is a grown up conversation and you know how much your dad hates you listening in on grown up conversation," Amy said gently and Cheyenne pouted.
"But I want to stay, I could help!" Cheyenne pleaded and Chyna frowned.
"How short stuff?" she said and Cheyenne picked her up and amazed the Divas with her Phenomenal Strength.
"This is how Aunt Joanie, I could help you train them!" GPS said bench-pressing the First Lady of DX over her head.
"Wow Cheyenne you're Incredible!" Kelly Kelly said amazed by what she was seeing.
"How did you get so strong?" Layla asked in amazement and Cheyenne pointed to the sky holding Joanie up with one hand.
"By the power of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost," Amy said stroking Cheyenne's hair lovingly and Cheyenne fixed it back the way she liked it, "Not with drugs and low self-esteem, that's what being a Christian's all about ladies. It's about love and how much God loves you, when you turn your life over to Christ the desires of your heart will be given to you. You wanna be the best wrestlers or Divas in the business, put God first in your life and you'll see what a difference He makes,"
The Divas listened excitedly but Candice pouted miserably and Cheyenne eventually put Chyna down.
"Easy for you to say, you retired a multi-time Women's Champion and married one of the most accomplished WWE Superstars of all time, you're days as number one Diva are over so why should I listen to a thing you've got to say?" Candice Michelle snapped and Amy got hot, her hair flicking up in hot lashes and the heat in the room went up high.
"Uh-oh," Cheyenne said familiar with the sudden increase in temperature, "It's not a good idea to get my mommy upset Candy, she can blow up like a volcano!" Chyna hushed the ARK Angel while Amy locked eyes with Candice.
"Because I prayed for you Candice, I prayed that you wouldn't die the way so many others have in our business and you are not leaving this house until you're spark is back in place and God has a place in your heart," Amy said and Candice swallowed nervously and looked at the floor but Amy put her chin up so she could see her eyes, "You can do it i-can:d, I have total faith in the wonder working powers of the Almighty and if He could change me and turn my life around He can change yours,"
Candice's face softened and Joanie wiped a tear from her eye while Cheyenne looked up at her stepmom adoringly. It was obvious that Amy had created quite an impression on the raven haired 3 year-old and she felt confident to voice her support of the Divas' ability to rehabilitate.
"Let us pray," she said lowering her head and clasping her hands together and after an assuring nod from Amy the other Divas followed suit, "Dear Lord, may we put back what the devil tried to steal from these women, I am Your servant and Your child and I love my life and I love You. Let's give these women beauty for ashtrays and set their spirits free in Jesus' Name. Amen,"
"Amen," all the Divas said.
"Very good Cheyenne, only its beauty for ashes not ashtrays sweetie," Amy corrected her stepdaughter.
"My bad, can I stay and help you and Aunt Joanie mom, please?" Cheyenne begged and Amy nodded and Cheyenne skipped around joyfully.
"You know LC's gonna wanna stay home as-well right?" Joanie told Amy who sighed.
"That's right and you can't both stay home from school, still it would be a good lesson for them to see how to handle the pressures of working in a male-dominated industry," Amy said and Joanie nodded, "Okay LC can stay home too, just for today,"
"She's gonna be so happy, although she hates being separated from Cameron," Joanie said.
"Well you know what they say, "absence makes the heart grow fonder,"" Amy replied.
"Not if you're psycho," Joanie added and Amy laughed while Joanie went to get LC and the Divas looked between each other, not sure what to expect over the next few days but they expected the best from Anointed Amy and her Incredible and Amazing children, and prepared for the worst were LC and Chyna were concerned. Jeff put a hand on Candice Michelle's shoulder.
"It's gonna be alright Candice, this is the best rehab you could ever get Amy and Chyna are two of the best wrestlers in the history of our business and they're gonna fix you good," he said.
"Only one thing can fix me and I'm gonna score the minute I get online," Candice Michelle said and walked away from Jeff Hardy who rubbed his chin concerned.
"Looks like Aurora won't be the only cutie I'll be watching over this week," he said as Candice sat by herself by her luggage away from the other Divas locked in her own personal Hell.
Waterside School, 8am:
Hunter and Shawn pulled up to the huge school in Greenwich, Connecticut with just one ARK Angel but Cameron didn't mind going to school he liked it a lot, being apart from LC gave him a chance to concentrate on his school work.
"You go to class Cam, we're going to talk to Mr. Applebee," Shawn said and he hugged Cameron who gave Hunter a weary look.
"I would say don't do anything stupid but I'd be wasting my breath," he said and walked to class with the rest of his peers who were staring at Shawn and Hunter at the school entrance recognizing the fluorescent green logo spray-painted on the side of the DX Machine.
"School, yuck," Hunter said feeling nauseous, "Let's get this done and over with, where's the Headmaster live?"
Shawn shrugged, "How am I supposed to know it's not my kids that are getting in trouble," he said.
"You should be happy Cameron's got a girl like LC watching his back, I'm very proud of my little assassin-in-training and God willing my little Aurora will grow up to be just like her," Hunter said and Shawn shook his head.
"Whatever dude, let's go this way," Shawn said and they walked towards the administrator's office: Shawn with the best intentions, Hunter with none whatsoever.
