A/N: I hope you liked the last chapter. Only one review but I'm thankful for anything I get. Thank you for reviewing 'slashburd'. You're reviews make me smile and I enjoy reading them. I hope you'll like this chapter. I want to portray it right, let me know if you think it went well.

In case of any confusion, I just want to make it clear that when in either promo or match, I'll be referring to HHH as Hunter. And when just in a normal POV, he'll be referred to as Paul or H.

Disclaimer: I own Noah. Unfortunately I don't own anything to do with the WWE and I do not maintain to have any knowledge of the wrestler's personal lives and anything used in the story is for that main purpose. Thanks!

CHAPTER TWELVE

"Get out of the way" my words were spoken low and with enough venom to scare anyone and get them out of my way.

Ted held his hands up in front of me in a surrender motion, his face almost pleading with me to calm down "Baby, c'mon, there's no need to be this rational. I know you're angry and you need to vent that but doing this is ridiculous. Just talk to me, let it out on me".

"Let it out on you?!?! You wouldn't be able to wrestle anymore if I did that Teddy. Just move, please. I'm not asking you anymore" I replied fixing him with a small glare that proved to him I was being serious.

He lifted his hands, carding them through my hair, before sliding his hands gently down towards my neck, pulling my face up, as his thumbs stroked across my cheek.

"No, don't Ted. Just leave me alone for once in your goddamn life!!!" I yelled, pushing past him and heading for the ring, the guilt setting in at my outburst as I made my way down the ramp. But it was too late to say sorry or maybe I was just too proud to go back. Either way, I continued onto the ring, to take some frustration out.


FLASHBACK

I threw the envelope down in a huff, stomping over to the sofa and falling down next to John. He took his eyes off the TV and looked at me, before looking back at the picture and then back to me again. With a sigh, he turned the television off and turned his body towards me. His arm was resting along the back of the sofa, almost touching my neck as I laid my head back, my hands covering my face. I let out an almost blood-curdling scream and collapsed back in a heap.

I took my hands down from my face, looking at John, his face had an almost knowing smirk, accompanied by a frightened look in his eyes.

"I'll take that scream as a sign you saw the script?" he asked tentatively. I twitched my lips.

"You knew about this? Who else knows about it?"

"Everyone who has read their script. Look, the way I see it Mama, is that we all gotta do things we don't like to, to further our careers. And this is just one of 'em. I suggest you go through with it, it'll help build your character and I'm sure they'll be fine with it. Don't fret about it".


END OF FLASHBACK

I grasped the top rope between my hands and pulled it towards my body, stretching my arms and checking the tension of the rope. I let go and stood with my feet spread at shoulder's width before bending towards the floor, feeling the small sharp pain course up the back of my legs and along my spine as my legs and back muscles stretched. I stood up, twisting both of my feet towards one another as I closed my stance.

I ran my hand along the top rope, walking around the ring silently, my fingertips ghosting over each of the top ropes. I backed myself into the top right hand corner of the ring, sliding down against the turnbuckle, the cool metal biting into the skin of my back, where my top had risen up.

I brought my knees up to my chest and buried my face in my arms, my long hair, hanging down over my head, the ends brushing against the mat.


FLASHBACK

"Don't think this is the end of this Junior. We'll see all three of you in the ring tonight. Then we'll settle this once and for all" Shawn spoke slowly pointing his finger at Ted's chest.

"You can bet on it Shawn. Make sure you bring Noah as well. I wanna watch her face as we beat you down all over the ring. As we finish you".

I watched from the sidelines as both Hunter and Shawn's faces merged into a snarl. Shawn lifted his hand, balling it into a fist, ready to smack Ted but I rushed over and grabbed his arm pulling it down.

"No, he ain't worth it Shawn. Just wait till the match tonight and then you can show Legacy what champions really are" I muttered to him. I looked between Cody, Ted and Randy, gouging their reactions. Each had a stony expression etched on their lips.

"Saved by your girl again, boy she's gettin' good at this. You're sure gonna miss her when she's gone" Ted spoke before disappearing down the hall.

"What the...?" Hunter said, looking between Shawn and I. Hornswoggle stood at Hunter's side, making a couple of noises and sticking his chest out towards the retreating Legacy. I shrugged my shoulders and so did Shawn.


I made my entrance towards the ring, stepping out to the DX music. I was dressed in a pair of tight dark denim jeans which had a gold button design and across the front of each of the thighs, the denim had small slashes in it, similar to that of cat scratches. On the top half of my body, I had a cropped hoodie style top. It was white and had a faux button design down the front with small lace detailing at the neckline. The hem stopped about 2 or 3 inches above my navel, showing off a blue studded body bar, the sleeves were short and capped, just enough to cover my shoulders and the hood hung down my back, covered by my wavy waist length hair.

Through the fly-away strands of hair, a tattoo of a colourful chinese dragon was barely visible as it weaved its way about 5 inches along my spine.

I had on flat black leather knee high boots on with silk ties on the back of them, that my jeans were tucked into.

I stepped through the ropes as both Hunter and Shawn held them open for me. I walked across to the middle of the ropes, facing the camera. I held up a peace symbol and flashed a smile to the camera as it panned over the ring. I stood back in the corner and watched as DX completed their entrance before I made a hasty exit from the ring, grabbing a steel chair and placing it down in front of the commentator's table. I sat down, sitting back and waiting on Legacy's entrance.

The lights dimmed before 'Voices' blasted through the arena. I listened to the defeaning roar of boos and cheers amongst one another. I narrowed my eyes, ignoring the flashes of cameras and mobile phones as picture after picture was snapped of the three approaching the ring.

The entrance was made slow; much more tense and deliberate than usual, Randy's eyes not leaving Shawn and Hunter as they stood in the ring, awaiting their opponents.

I knew personally, that they were in for a bit of a battle, as it was a handicapped match. I sat forward, watching Randy, Cody and Ted complete their entrance. Shawn and Hunter moved to the end of the ring, farthest away from me. All three of Legacy looked over the ropes, staring me down as I sat in the chair. I glanced up at them, meeting each member's eyes individually. Randy nodded at me before pointing his finger at me and then at the side of his head, indicating to me about his 'proposal' earlier. I looked away, my eyes darting to the floor before I heard the bell ring.

I closed my eyes and tilted my head back as I sat and listened to the sounds within the arena.

I opened my eyes back up a few moments later, looking to the ring to see Shawn being held in a headlock by Cody. Cody tightened his arms, putting pressure on Shawn's neck. Shawn pushed his way out of it, whipping Cody into the ropes. He knocked Cody down with a strong shoulder before running into the ropes. Cody stood up, ducked under Shawn's arm and ran to the ropes. Shawn caught him on the way back and performed an 'Inverted Atomic Drop' on him.

Cody winced and stepped back, almost bending over. Shawn went at him, performing slaps to the chest, in which the fans shouted their usual response.

I continued to watch the match as tag after tag was made. The referee was distracted by Cody at one point and Randy and Ted both turned on Hunter.

They both delivered a series of kicks to him, from head to toe. When Cody stopped distracting the referee, Ted tagged Randy into the match. I leaned forward in my chair, putting my face in my hands as I watched him stalk about the ring, taunting Hunter. He was shouting across the ring, but I couldn't make out what he was saying. I rubbed my hands over my face before carding my fingers through my hair, pulling it back over my shoulder.

Randy looked up at me and grinned. I sighed and began to stand from my chair, shaking my head at him.

"No" I mouthed, knowing the look in his eyes. His grin deepened, becoming more vicious. He signalled for Ted and Cody to do something. Both came into the ring, Cody heading for the corner where Shawn was beginning to recover. He dived under the bottom rope and grabbed Shawn's ankles, pulling him off the apron, making Shawn smack his head against the apron. The referee called for Cody to come back in the ring, shaking his arms and warning him off of Shawn. Cody just smirked and continued his assault on 'The Heartbreak Kid'.

Cody knocked Shawn into the ringpost and then left him. I paced outside the ring, not sure what to do.

The referee moved to Randy, and was talking to him, telling him to stop what he was doing. He pointed at him and warned him to get Legacy out of the ring while he was the legal man. Randy continued calling out instructions to Ted and ignored the referee. He warned him one more time to which Randy stood up, his hands dragging by his side. He turned to face the referee and fixed him with a look before he pushed him to the ground. It resulted in an instant disqualification.

I looked behind me as the bell rang and then back at the ring. Hunter was getting up, staggering a little but Ted grabbed him and dragged him half way across the ring towards the turnbuckle nearest my left hand side. I shook my head at the ring, waiting to see what was going to happen. Ted performed a perfect 'Backbreaker' on Hunter, causing him to fall to the mat on his stomach. I heard him cough and wince. I winced myself, wanting to stop it but too scared.

I bit the nail on my thumb, nibbling it softly before biting my lower lip as well. I rubbed my palms up and down on my jeans. Shawn was beginning to get up at the other side of the ring. Cody in the ring, keeping his eye on both Shawn and what was going on.

Hunter began to push himself to his feet as Shawn staggered to his feet, trying to get around the ring towards me. Randy backed up in the ring, moving towards the turnpost diagonally opposite. I could tell right away he was ready to punt Hunter in the head for the second time.

"NO!!" I screamed but no one could hear me. Shawn dived for the ring but both Cody and Ted came out and stopped him. I paced and then I turned around and grabbed the steel chair. I folded it and then ran over and slid in the ring, getting on my knees in front of Hunter just as Randy made to run at him.

"No! Don't you dare. You don't get to punt him!!" I screamed at him, holding the chair in my hands. He backed off a little, resting back against the turnbuckle. Ted and Cody made to come back in the ring but with a flick of his hand Randy told them to stay outside the ring. I shook my head at him again, gripping the chair tighter. Randy stood up straighter and began to walk towards me. I looked behind me, seeing Hunter roll out of the ring and flop on the floor.

"Put the chair down Noah" Randy said slowly "You don't need it. Just give it to me".

I shook my head and began to get up. I could hear Shawn behind me telling me to get out of the ring.

I saw out of the corner of my eye as Legacy let Shawn go and he went to Hunter, making sure he was okay. He stood up and came towards the ring, reaching his hand out to get me.

"Noah get out of the ring now!!" he said to me. I shook my head.

"Let go of the chair. It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you" Randy spoke to me as he advanced towards me, slowly. I continuously shook my head at him, getting to my feet. I held the chair in one hand, dangling down by my side. My feet moved involuntarily and I began to walk towards Randy, almost meeting him in the centre of the ring.

"Good, now give me the chair" he said to me. I looked down at the chair and then back up at Randy. His eyes widened and he nodded, his tongue darting out to lick his dry lips. I heard a noise behind me and I turned to see Shawn getting in the ring.

He came towards us, reaching for me, his arms outstretched. He had an angry look in his eyes, directed at Randy.

My leg came up of its own accord, I heard a loud smack and then a thump. There was a thud as the chair fell from my hand and then the silence from the crowd became defeaning.

I turned, fixing my eyes on Shawn's unmoving form as he lay on the mat. I turned back to Randy, seeing his eyes darting around frantically. He looked at me and then at Shawn and then he came towards me again. I dropped to my knees on the floor and rolled to the edge of the ring. I rolled out and got to my feet before walking slowly up the ramp. I saw the fans frowning at me and heard them shouting things at me which I ignored.

I turned at the top of the ramp to see all three members of Legacy in the ring. Randy had moved to the edge of the ring, facing me. He looked at me with a smirk on his face as Cody and Ted paced in the ring next to him, looking as confused as ever.

Shawn lay motionless on the mat as Hunter got up, using the turnbuckle to pull himself to his feet. He looked at Shawn and then at Legacy and then at me.

"I'm sorry" I mouthed to him and then disappeared behind the curtain.


END OF FLASHBACK

I stood up quickly and slid out of the ring; wincing as my bare feet hit the cold floor, going over to the corner where the commentator's area was. I picked up a steel chair and marched back to the ring with it.

I glanced around the ring despondently for a few seconds, before my rage took over and I started smacking everything with the chair. I hit the ropes and gritted my teeth as the vibrations ran up my arms, making my arms throb. I smacked the turnbuckle and then hit the floor again and again and again.

"Stop it!!!" I heard someone scream towards me. I gasped and stood up straight before throwing the chair over the ropes and out of the ring, watching it hit the security wall that was set up for tonight's show.

"Why?!?! Why should I stop it?!? Tell me Randy?!?!!" I shouted back at him, not caring how loud I was shouting or who heard if they were around. He climbed up on the apron and got into the ring. He came towards me, his eyes narrowed but soft.

"Because, you are going to hurt yourself. I don't see the point in this Noah. You're just being over emotional. Shawn and Paul already told you they were alright with what went on. They knew what was going to happen. You know that but you still insist on coming out here and throwing your anger about".

"Because I need to. I don't care if they were okay with it. I don't care if its just a script. I still feel that in a way, I've betrayed them. I've betrayed my family and there's noth..." I stopped short, the tears starting to pour out of my eyes "There's nothing I can do to change it" I finished through my sobs.

Randy came towards me and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me to his chest, one hand cradling the back of my head and the other wrapped around my back.

"Its okay. Just let it out. Sshhh" he soothed me, his voice almost like a lullaby.

"I'm sorry" I whispered through the tears and sobs. He just held me against him, backing us into the ropes and sliding down to the floor. I went with him, collapsing into his arms.
