Chapter Fourteen – 2 Days: Velvet Sky is More than Meets the Eye
Gas Chamber Ink, Southern Pines, North Carolina, 2pm:
Velvet Sky and CM Punk are alone at Shannon Moore's tattoo parlor better known as Gas Chamber Ink as Shannon, Chad and Tanya went to get a bite to eat before coming back and finishing the couple's ink. Punk and Sky decided to get tattoos to celebrate their love or what they thought was very close to love; Velvet decided to get a heart in the shape of Punk's famous Pepsi tattoo and Punk got a tattoo saying "I Love Knockouts" on his arm.
"I don't think Hunter's gonna like that, but I don't care," Punk said and he kissed Velvet's hand and she smiled.
"Well I love my new tattoo all Chad has to do is color in the red and it will be done," Velvet said knocking back some cola while Punk looked at the time.
"Where are they?" he said and got off the tattoo chair while Velvet chugged her drink, Punk went outside and something caught his eye. He turned the corner and saw Shannon and Tanya laid out on the hot concrete and Tomko just powerbombed Chad into the ground knocking him out cold. Punk ran at Tomko but AJ's right hand man slammed Punk's head into the side of his truck and knocked the Money in the Bank star out cold too.
"Where is everybody?" Velvet said twirling a lock of her hair around her finger, "I better go see what's up," she said and knocked back the last of her drink. She went to open the door when the imposing form of Tomko stood in front of her and gave her a cruel smile.
"Aren't you gonna let me in?" Tomko asked Velvet menacingly and she looked across the parking lot and saw the Gas Chamber Ink staff and Punk laid out. She tried to lock the door but she couldn't and Tomko charged through and Velvet flew backwards.
"What are you doing here Tomko?" Velvet said.
"You shouldn't be here of all places especially with CM Punk," Tomko said, "So why don't you be a nice little girl and come back to Orlando with me?"
Velvet turned her nose up, "You're gonna have to make me and I'm not going anywhere without a fight!" Velvet said and Tomko laughed at the small Knockout as she positioned herself behind the leather sofa and when he advanced on her she pushed it forward and he tripped up over it, "Take that!" Velvet said and pulled one of the tattoo boards out of the rack and smashed it over Tomko's head repeatedly. When Tomko tried to get to his feet she drop-kicked him in his face and he fell backwards. Velvet heard someone banging at the door and saw Punk holding his head trying to get her attention and she came over to help him.
"Are you okay?" Punk asked her.
"I'm fine I can handle myself," Velvet said and suddenly Tomko shot up and grabbed at her leg but Punk broke his hand off Velvet and hit Tomko with stinging punches while Velvet cheered him on.
"Get him Punk, get him!" she said as Punk kneed Tomko in the face, Punk went to hit him again but Tomko blocked the kick, picked up Punk and smashed him down onto the coffee table, "Punk!" Velvet screamed and went to him but Tomko pulled her back and carried her kicking and screaming over to the tattoo chair. Tomko ripped his shirt in two and tied Velvet's arms to the chair with the torn shirt.
"What are you doing?!" Velvet said struggling against her bonds and she started kicking her feet but Tomko slapped her legs so hard she couldn't move them again.
"I'm giving you a choice," Tomko said and he turned on Chad's tattoo needle and Velvet held her breath he held the needle close to her face, "Either you come with me right now or I turn that pretty face of yours into freak show," he said and Velvet could feel her heart pounding like thunder in her chest, "So what's it gonna be?"
Velvet couldn't believe what she was about to say but the only way she was gonna know if it was real was if she said it, "I don't care about my face, if I have to lose it to be with Punk then so be it," she said and Tomko couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Are you for real?" Tomko asked Velvet in disbelief.
"Are you gonna scar me for life or what? All it will prove is how much I care about Punk and that's what I want so do it!" Velvet said and Tomko pushed the needle up to Velvet's face and she closed her eyes and prayed Pslam 71:
"O Lord, I have come to you for protection;
don't let me be disgraced.
Save me and rescue me,
for you do what is right.
Turn your ear to listen to me,
and set me free.
Be my rock of safety
where I can always hide.
Give the order to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked,
from the clutches of cruel oppressors.
O Lord, you alone are my hope.
I've trusted you, O Lord, from childhood.
Yes, you have been with me from birth;
from my mother's womb you have cared for me."
The needle pressed against Velvet's grimacing face but no ink came out, Tomko shook it back and forth and but still no ink came out and Velvet opened her eyes.
"What's going on here?" Tomko said and the ink came out in a flood and went into his eyes, "ARGHHH!" Tomko screamed and Punk took him down from behind and shoved him into the bathroom. Punk came back and untied Velvet and she leapt up into his arms and kissed him.
"Are you okay?" she asked him picking bits of glass out of his long black hair.
"Nothing I can't handle, I heard what you said about your face I can't believe you were willing to sacrifice your beauty all for me," Punk said.
"True beauty comes from the inside," Velvet said, "It comes from courage, strength and love,"
"Well in that case you're the most beautiful woman I've ever known," Punk said and kissed Velvet while Shannon, Chad, Shane and Tanya came back in holding their heads.
"Just like how we left them," Shannon said to Tanya with a smile and Velvet and Punk came over to them.
"We just got our butts kicked but Tomko," Shane said.
"Hey speak for yourself I was all over him," Tanya said and they all laughed.
"Where'd he go?" Shannon asked.
"We locked him in the bathroom," Velvet said.
"We better call the police before he gets outta there and destroys the place," Chad said pulling out his cell phone.
"You hear that?" CM Punk said as beautiful music swelled in the air and got everyone's attention.
"Yeah," Velvet said and they all turned and saw a black van pulling up to the parlor. Out of it stepped a girl with a ten string harp and some very familiar faces but it was Cheyenne that got Velvet Sky's attention and she walked over to the little angel and knelt down to her.
"It was you that was making that beautiful music wasn't it?" Velvet asked Cheyenne who smiled.
"The music isn't as beautiful as your heart Velvet Sky," Cheyenne said and kissed Velvet on the nose.
"Whoa, she really likes you," Cameron said, "I think she respects what you were willing to give up to be with Punk,"
"How did you know about that?" Punk asked Cameron who pointed to the sky.
"He told me," Cameron said meaning God, "And because Velvet cried out to Him we were able to find you and save you both from Tomko,"
Tomko came out of the tattoo parlor looking woozy and Punk and the Gas Chamber Ink staff prepared to fight.
"Don't worry he won't hurt you," Cameron told them and Cheyenne started to play the ten string harp.
"The music is so beautiful it destroys conflict and produces peace," Angelina Love explained.
"That's why Jeff Jarrett came to the church he wanted to destroy it," Cameron said.
"I'd like to see him try," LC said confidently, "Double J couldn't have picked a worse bunch to mess with," she said referring to herself and the other ARK Angels.
"Just one bridesmaid to go," Cameron said, "everybody in the van!" he ordered.
"But our tattoos aren't finished," Punk said and Hunter frowned.
"You got another tattoo?" he said, "Let me see it," he said grabbing Punk's arm a little too aggressively for Shawn's liking.
"Easy Hunter," Shawn said and read the tattoo out loud, "I love Knockouts," it said, "aw how cute," Shawn cooed but Hunter didn't think it was so cute.
"That better mean knocking guys out in the ring," Hunter warned Punk who smiled slyly at Velvet and put his arm around her.
"What else would it mean boss?" Punk said casually and everyone laughed knowing exactly what the tattoo meant.
