Hey, ladies thank you for the lovely reviews. I only just realised that although I wanted to base this stalker series on what happened to me, gross and crazy exaggerations are so much more fun to read. I forgot how therapuetic writing away your stress can be. well I hope you enjoy this, i can't wait to write the next chapter.
This chapter is dedicated to my amazing beyond compare reviewers: xheavilybroken, Ashlee Orton, I love ZigZag, Lil'MissCena, Tanya50801, CMXPUNKXOWNED, & Zadok
Days had passed since Matt's ill-fated attempt to abduct Amy and no one was the wiser. The Divas and Superstars were getting used to the added precautions they were expected to take and Torrie was getting better day by day. By the end of the month everyone was looking forward to the three day break, none more so than Lillian who craved the comforts of her own home. Ever since she had fallen pregnant her senses had become so much more aware of those around her, atleast that's the reason she acknowledged. Deep down she knew she had become more aware as a result of her stalker. Every fan she greeted every waiter, steward or cab driver she encountered could be 'him'. Yet she continued on with an air of quiet calm for the sake of her anxious friends and boyfriend. She couldn't remember the last time she had made coffee for herself; there was always someone to fuss over her. She often joked that she wasn't even showing and she had everyone at her beck and call. 'Just wait until my bump shows up!'she laughed evilly to those around her. Things were going relatively well.
Lillian sat in a circle amongst her friends; their last show had ended not long ago and before they left for their subsequent flights or hotels they wanted to have one last moment together. Ever since Torrie's attack they had become extra protective of one another and conscious of the fact that during their days apart anything could happen.
"Ya know Trish, Adams not going to just decide one day he doesn't like you anymore." Amy said matter of factly to her friend.
"God Ames I wish he would its been almost two years!" The blonde Diva exasperated "it's become like a routine for us, he asks me out after the show I say no he laughs and says 'another time maybe' in that cute hopeful way and I…"
"Want him so bad." Maria said absent mindedly as she filed her nails.
"Excuse me?"
"I was just finishing your sentence. You want his babies." She said stifling a giggle.
"And you want vampire boy!" Trish countered.
"I so do not! We're just friends!" She shouted, her eyes wide with terror as the women around her laughed at her reaction. At that moment Lillian received a phonecall the ID said it was from 'HOME' but that was impossible considering Randy was with her and no one else besides Amy and John who were also with them had the keys. Hesitantly she answered.
"Hello."
"Darling, I've missed your voice." The other divas saw Lillians face pale as her eyes relayed the horror she felt.
"W-who is this." She asked timidly the fear evident in her voice.
"I think you already know sweetheart." The voice replied, it sounded distorted as if someone were using a device to scramble the tone and pitch.
"P-please, why are you doing this?" She felt her blood run cold and her hands begin to shake as her friends silently came closer, they didn't want to disrupt the call that could quite possibly give away some more information.
"Because I care about you and our child."
"Ours? You're not Randy! I know you aren't!" She said regaining some of her lost courage at the mention of her child.
"Randy doesn't matter. I'll love your child as if it were my own. Do you know sometimes when I watch you at home asleep on the couch and that Idiot picks you up to take you upstairs, I wonder what it would be like if I was there and he wasn't."
"You're lying you've never seen me."
"Haven't I? I saw you when you couldn't decide between the black dress or the green skirt, in the end you made the right choice, the one I would have chosen. Yet another reason why we belong together."
"How? No, please just leave me alone. I'm sorry I'm not."
"But you are! I'm always with you! You're everything to me. I'll never leave you." He hissed before hanging up. Lillian dropped her phone as if it had burned her. Before they had time to say anything Randy and John ran in having been alerted by Victoria.
"Babe what happened are you ok?" Randy asked anxiously as he hugged the frightened diva in his arms.
"He called. He's in the house," she whispered into his neck, still reeling from what had just happened.
"He what? How do you know?" Randy cried holding Lillian by her shoulders.
"Check my phone." She replied simply.
Moments later Randy was on the phone to the officers investigating their case. The Police immediately responded and the officers in charge went directly to the house the two superstars shared. A few hours later Randy received a call.
"Randy, we don't want to worry your girlfriend so if she's in the vicinity you may want to leave." The officer stated calmly.
"Uh sure," He replied stepping out of the hotel room that was currently filled with Divas and wrestlers. "What did you find out?"
"As a result of what we found during our search of your house it seems if your house was the headquarters for this person."
"What do you mean?"
"Our immediate check of the house revealed that this person has had open access to your home for quite some time now. We found numerous audio transmitters within each room and small infrared cameras." The officer paused for a moment to let the information sink in.
"Do you mean this guys bugged my house? How long has he been doing this?" Randy asked he had to keep his voice down but the anger inside him was rapidly rising to the surface.
"That's the second thing I wanted to discuss with you. During our search of your attic we found that many of the cameras and audio information gathered by the transmitters etc were being viewed in a makeshift control centre in your attic. What I'm saying Mr. Orton is that this man has been living in your attic for what seems like a period of six months or more."
"What are you talking about? The attics been sealed off it's impossible to get in there. How could he have lived there without us noticing?" Randy questioned aggressively.
"We found an entrance through the roof, this person no doubt made it themselves and I recall you saying that you and your girlfriend are travelling 300 days a year. This individual could be vacating the home upon your arrival and returning to review the tapes just as you leave."
Randy exhaled deeply he couldn't believe the magnitude of what he had just heard, "So what do you suggest we do?"
"Do you have friends you could live with? At this point in time we don't suggest you go to any of your homes around the country, he could very well have infiltrated all of them."
"Sure," Randy said quietly as he hung up. At that moment he couldn't stand how helpless he felt. This man wanted to take his family away from him and so far he had the advantage. Running a frustrated hand through his hair he re-entered the room. "Uh John could I talk you for a minute bud?"
"Yeah what is it?" John asked joining Randy at the door.
"Do you mind if Lilo and I crash at your place for a while? That stalker got into ours and bugged it all out and we can't go to any of the others incase he's done the same." Randy asked trying to sound as calm as possible.
"Of course man, like you even had to ask. C'mon get packed our flight leaves early, I'm pretty sure you can get tickets at the airport." John assured him.
The next day the two couples walked into the home John and Amy shared. After John and Randy had checked it extensively Amy lead Lillian to the guest bedroom.
"This really is just like you planned." Lillian commented as she took in her surroundings.
"John took care of all the structural issues and left the decorating to me," Amy laughed relating to her friend Johns elaborate plans to avoid their flamboyant decorator. Francois had formed an immediate dislike towards John, and went out of his way to show it. Lillian laughed along with her friend. She missed days like these the most. As the laughter subsided Amy placed her friends hands in her own. "So how are things?"
"Things aren't easy," She replied honestly, "Sometimes I think things are going well and I can pretend everything's ok and then he'll contact me again and I realise how stupid I was to think things were ok." Lillian couldn't hide the bitterness in her voice no matter how hard she tried.
"How's Randy been during all of this?"
"I want to say he's handling it well but you know the type of guy he is. He's used to being the one with the power, if he doesn't like something he just has to make a few calls and suddenly its gone. With this he's completely lost. I know he only wants to protect me but sometimes the way he talks about this guy its like I don't even exist and it's a war between him and whoever."
"Remember when we agreed that all men were dogs? We'll it completely applies to Randy, he loves you and like a loyal dog he's going to do everything he can to protect you. He might get a bit obsessive but at the end of the day he's doing it for you."
The women continued to talk for the rest of the day, before the Latina demanded her friend get some rest as she watched the redhead stifle a yawn. Spying his girlfriends entry into their bedroom John looked back at Randy who was in mid sentence then back at Amy.
"As much as I care about what we're talking about I have someone I need to do." John said quickly before dutifully following Amy into their room. Smirking at the thought of ambushing her when she least expected it. Sure he'd get a lecture from her but it would be worth it he reasoned.
"Don't even think about it." Amy said bluntly without turning around as she began unbuttoning her top.
"Think about what?" John asked innocently as he tossed his shirt off and began working on his belt.
"You know exactly what," Amy replied trying to hide the grin on her face as she felt him rest his head on her shoulder, laying back slightly she lost herself in his cologne for a moment. Feeling her relax against him, he carefully brushed the hair away from her shoulders he began placing soft kisses onto her sensitive skin. Realising that if she didn't tear herself away from him soon she wouldn't be able to at all Amy stood up straight. "Oh no you don't." she said as she spun around and pushed him away from her. Pulling her towards him with a devilish grin John easy picked her up, throwing her over his shoulder he proceeded to their bed.
"You're a bully." Amy stated sullenly as she lay limply over his shoulder.
"I think you like that." He smiled as he stood above her having deposited her onto the bed.
"I think you're delusional." She replied as she tried crawling off the bed only to have him lunge onto her, effectively trapping her.
"I think you want me." He whispered as his eyes took her in.
"You seem a little more determined then usual." She replied as she cupped his face as if searching for an answer.
"I'll explain later." He said before commencing his 'mission'.
Later finally came as the redhead lay panting beside him, her chest rising and falling rapidly. "Now do I get my explanation." She asked the man beside her who seemed to be off in his own thoughts.
"I want a kid." He replied simply.
"WHAT!"
"Well if Randy gets one, why can't I?" He answered childishly before resuming his examination of the ceiling.
"Uh because Lil doesn't wrestle for one thing and I'm no where near ready to have kids I mean we don't even have a dog yet!"
"We don't have a dog? That's your argument?" John asked sceptically.
"And we're not married!"
"Like that matters!"
"No, it doesn't but if you get me pregnant before our wedding and I don't fit into my dress so help me god John I will castrate you!" Amy threatened straddling his waist and bringing her hands to his throat.
"Whoa ok ok," He laughed, "Maybe I can wait, but in the mean time can we practise?" He asked hopefully.
"Yeah sure why no-" Amy paused, "Do you hear that?" The room fell silent as John cocked his head towards the door 'such a dog' Amy laughed to herself.
"Randy it's not an issue!" Lillian cried.
"Of course it's an issue! I've been thinking about this for a while Lilo and I'm going to quit!"
"Just like that? You're going to quit everything you've worked for, for so long?"
"YES! If it means I get to protect my girlfriend and my child then yes!" He exasperated.
"This is only temporary! They'll catch him soon and you'll regret leaving!" Lillian said continuing to pace around the room.
"What if they don't? Do you expect me to just leave you alone when I'm on the road and you can't travel anymore?" He shouted.
"I have family Randy!" She replied just as angrily.
"They can't take care of you the way I can!"
"Watch it Orton my family was around long before you were!" She said pointing at him.
"Yeah well that's my kid you have in there so I think I have a say in what happens to you."
"And you think I don't take our child into consideration when I do anything?"
"Sometimes I wonder Lilo!"
"How dare you insinuate that I would ever put my personal wants above our child." She said quietly her eyes glaring up at his.
"I'm just looking out for my kid! If you don't want me taking care of you then FINE! But don't expect me to stand on the sidelines when it comes to my kid!" he replied in much the same fashion
"Your kid? Last time I checked all you did was provide the sperm!"
"Is that all you think I am to this kid?"
"That's all you'll ever be if you keep pissing me off!" She stated defiantly.
"Don't make threats you can't keep baby, I'll have custody of our kid before you're even out of the hospital." He responded as he held her face in his hand.
"Take my child and I'll hunt you down like the dog you are!" She retorted before storming out of the room.
Amy pulled herself out of Johns' arms giving him a stern look then motioning towards the door in response to his pout. Quickly taking a shower she threw on whatever she could find before running out to join her friend. Finding Lillian in the living room she quietly took her place next to her on the couch.
"Wanna talk?"
"Yup." Lillian wiped some stray tears away. She hated crying after arguments with Randy. They weren't tears of sadness, atleast not completely. She was more frustrated than anything and not wholly at him. She had never asked for this stalker to come into her life, but a small voice informed her that 'it was good that you saw this side of Randy now'. But she immediately tried to shake those thoughts knowing that Randy was not usually like this and he didn't mean whatever he had said. His words as much as hers were out of anger and frustration.
"So what was the shout off about?"
"Randy wants to quit wrestling to stay with me. I know he's only trying to protect me and bubs but he's crazy if he thinks I'm going to let him make that big a sacrifice over something that could end soon."
"Has he thought of the other options?"
"He won't even consider them, he's just being a stubborn idiot!" The Latina fumed.
Meanwhile upstairs, John had sauntered into Randy's room to see what he could do for the situation. "Aye man," He said casually "What's doing?"
"What do you think?" Randy replied obviously irritated.
"I think you just pissed off your pregnant girlfriend."
"Me? You're putting this on me? She's the one that thinks she can take this guy on herself! Who does she think she is?"
"Still the independent and very capable women she was before she met you." John responded decidedly.
"But she wasn't pregnant with my kid before we met! It changes everything."
"Well duh if she was pregnant with your kid before she," John paused noticing the glare from his friend "What I mean is give her a little credit. Yeah, she needs you but she's not a complete fool."
"That's not the whole reason though, I've decided I'm going to quite wrestling for now." His voice trailed off slightly towards the end he knew John would be gutted. They had started almost simultaneously and no one knew as well as John how much the business meant to him. But his family meant more.
"What? When did you decide that? Are you crazy?"
"A little while ago. Things are fine for now but what happens when Lilo can't travel anymore, I don't think I could sleep at night knowing she's alone and that guy is still out there and I'm a thousand miles away."
"I know what you mean man, and it's only until they catch this guy right? Did you explain it to her like that?"
"Well no, sorta didn't get a chance to over the shouting and threats." He answered somewhat annoyed with himself.
"Go talk to her, I think she's downstairs with Ames." John said walking towards the door. Just as the pair were out of the bedroom the power in the entire mansion went out. Darkness enveloped the large space as the men looked towards each other. Making their way downstairs, they had silently agreed to look for the girls. Randy scanned the darkness; his mind was flooded with questions, 'was this just a random black out?' or 'does he know where we are?'.
"John? Randy?" Amy whispered from nearby.
"Yeah Babe, where are you?" John asked.
"The living room." Having reunited the group considered their options.
"Why don't I go out and check the fuse box and you stay with the girls?" John volunteered.
"Sounds good."
Giving his girlfriend a lingering kiss John made his way towards the backyard. The remaining trio stood in silence as the tension continued to grow. Amy looked at her watch expectantly. John had been gone for half an hour. This was ridiculous considering the fuse box was just outside. She looked between Randy and Lillian who were still childishly ignoring one another, 'haven't they noticed the time?' Amy couldn't stand the worry that had begun to consume her from the moment John left any longer "That's it, I'm going to check on him."
"Ames, I was just thinking about that. I'll go. I want you guys to go to Johns room and lock the door." Randy replied in a tone that meant he wasn't going to accept any arguments.
Lillian rolled her eyes and began to follow Amy up the stairs when she felt Randy grab her arm. Looking up at him she saw the uneasy expression on his face, standing up on her toes she placed a simple kiss onto his awaiting lips, 'just incase' she thought. Feeling relief wash over his body Randy responded to her actions with the passion that had consumed him earlier during their argument. As they broke away Lillian pulled him close "Later." She promised before running upstairs.
Amy and Lillian sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity before hearing footsteps and a knock at the door. Assuming it was the guys they rushed up and opened the door. But it wasn't John or Randy that greeted them. Realising their mistake Amy immediately threw her weight against the door to close it. Yet one of the men standing at the door placed his foot in the way, as Amy struggled to keep the door from opening further Lillian began kicking the offending foot from its place. Suddenly the door slammed shut, almost as if those on the other side had given up. Quickly locking it Amy and Lillian stared at each other in disbelief, the two women were terrified, they could hear the men pounding on the door in anger.
"Lily, sweetheart open the door," A voice shouted. Ignoring his cries Lillian grabbed the phone and dialled 911 hearing the call connect she didn't wait for an answer.
"PLEASE HELP ME! THERE'S TWO MEN IN MY HOU-"
"Maybe you should let them in." A familiar voice stated.
Lillian stared in horror at the door that Amy was trying her best to keep shut as it shook violently from the actions of the men on the other side.
"FUCK YOU!" She cried before hanging up and dialling the number of the officer investigating her case.
"We'll that's no way to talk to the man you love." Came the voice from her phone. All her calls were getting diverted to him! Suddenly Amy jumped back she had felt the door almost come off its hinges from what sounded like an axe blow.
"Lil we can't stop them," She cried, "C'mon we're going out the window."
Grabbing her friends hand she pulled her towards the window. Both women picked up a chair each and threw it through the beautiful bay windows. The sound of shattering glass blocked out the menacing sound of the axe breaking a hole through the door. Looking over her shoulder Lillian saw the first of the two men step through. Grabbing a sheet off the bed she threw it over the shattered glass as Amy made the hole large enough for them to jump through. Taking a last look at each other the women held hands and prepared to jump when Lillian felt a hand grab her hair. Seeing her friend being held back Amy temporarily forgot about herself and jumped onto his back. Twisting his neck she tried to apply a sleeper hold that she had learnt long ago. The figure staggered yet his vice like grip stayed on Lillian.
"LET GO OF HER!" Amy shouted between blows to the mans head. Just as she thought he would fall she felt someone wrench her off him, throwing her to the ground. At that moment Lillian threw herself towards the broken window before jerking to a stop hoping the inertia would throw her attacker out yet he stopped with the same precision she had. Seeing Amy on the floor she felt a surge of hatred consume her, grabbing a large vase she brandished it towards him just as he pulled out a gun.
"How much does she mean to you?" He asked breathlessly as he pointed the gun at Amy who tried scrambling to her feet only to get dragged up by the second man. She could smell his cologne. It was familiar.
"Touch her and I'll kill you myself." Lillian spat out as she lunged at him, she knew he wouldn't hurt her. Striking him repeatedly she tried to wrestle the gun off him only to have him pin her. Struggling helplessly she felt a cloth being placed over her face as the room suddenly faded to a blur. She could hear Amy's screams in the distance as she fought with her own body to stay conscious.
