An Amazonian Life

Chapter Forty-Three

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taker stormed down the halls of the arena. He had just left Vixen back at the hotel and needless to say, he wasn't happy. He knocked down the doors of every locker room looking for Bischoff and scaring the shit out of the roster in the process. He knocked down the next door and encountered Kane. Kane's head shot up at the intrusion.

K-"Where's the fire?" Taker was fuming.

T-"You seen Bischoff?" Kane shook his head no.

K-"What's going on?"

T-"He ordered a hit on Vee." Kane stiffened.

K-"Let's go" The two continued the rampage Taker started and finally found Bischoff. The stupid bastard didn't know what hit him. Taker and Kane beat the hell out of him and walked away.

As they walked down the hall back to their locker room they ran into Kiebler. Taker grabbed her and held her against the wall by her throat.

T-"You are extremely stupid, you know that?"

S-"I'm sorry" She pleaded confused.

T-"Don't worry, we're not going to do to you what we did to Bischoff, we'll leave that to Vixen."

S-"Bischoff?"

T-"You thought we'd let him get away with putting you up to it?" Kiebler was confused.

S-"But malice told me to get the chair and aim for her ribs." Taker slowly turned to Kane and let go of his hold on Stacey's throat. Stacey tried to sneak away but Taker grabbed her arm.

T-"Vee will be seeing you later, you can count on it." Stacey's face contorted in fear. Taker let her go and turned back to Kane.

T-"I thought Vee took care of that little Son of a bitch Malice."

K-"So did I" Kane and Taker walked back to their locker room, murderous thoughts plaguing them.

~~ Amazon Locker Room ~~

Tye, Lore and Elle sat talking about Vixen.

T-"Do you think she's ok?"

L-"She's Vee, of course she's ok"

T-"Maybe we should call her?"

L-"Yeah, later, we'll give her a little time to calm down."

E-"Once the pain stops there's going to be no calming her down. Stacey's going to die." Elle said mutely. Tye and Lore looked at each other, nodding their heads in agreement. Taker and Kane walked into the room breaking the girl's conversation.

T-"What happened to Malice?" Taker directed at Lore.

L-"Vee beat the shit out of him, he walked away with his tail between his legs and we haven't seen him since." Lore stated a little confused.

Tye-"Why, what's going on?" Taker looked toward the floor and put his hands on his hips.

K-"He ordered the hit on Vee" Kane exclaimed from behind Taker. Elle ticked.

L-"Son of a bitch"

E-"Does Vee know?" Elle spoke up. Taker shook his head. "Maybe you shouldn't tell her." Lore and Tye looked at Elle shocked.

L-"Why the hell not."

E-"Because she's hurt, and she's going to want to beat the fuck out of him, rightly so, but she's hurt and he'll annihilate her now." They all nodded.

T-"It's worse than you think. Her ribs are just, mush, I don't know how she's still breathing."

Tye-"It's that bad?" Taker merely nodded, his eyes slightly watery.

T-"Listen, Elle's right, don't tell her. Kane and I'll take care of this." The girls all nodded in a daze.

~~ Matt and Vixen's Hotel Room ~~

Vixen lay on the bed watching some old horror movie, that was more of a comedy than a horror, a hot water bottle lying across her ribs. A knock at the door threatened to force her to get up, but thinking quickly she called out.

V-"Who is it?"

T-"It's me gorgeous, is the door unlocked?" Vee smiled.

V-"Yeah, come in" Tye strutted into the room an evil smile playing on her lips. She was trying to cheer Vee up.

T-"Hey babe. How are you feeling?" Vee shrugged her shoulders lightly.

V-"Sore, but I'm cool. Got some cool bruises." Tye's face lit up.

T-"Yeah? Let me see!" Vee smiled and carefully lifted the bottom of her shirt up to let it rest just above her ribs. Tye sucked in a breath of surprise. Some cool bruises didn't nearly describe the train wreck that was Vee's skin around her ribs.

T-"Jesus Vee. That must be killing you." Vee just smiled nervously.

V-"Yeah well, you know me. Takes a lot more than a few broken or bruised ribs to take me down." Tye nodded. "We still on for tomorrow?" Tye smiled.

T-"Yeah sure, if you're up to it. We can postpone it for a day or too." Vee smiled.

V-"Thanks… Give me a day?" Tye smiled and nodded.

T-"Absolutely. I wanted to spend some quality time with my boys anyways." Vee shook her head.

V-"When are you not spending 'quality time' with Rob and Edge?" Tye just smiled evilly.

T-"I'm going to let you get some rest. You want anything sweetie?"

V-"Yes, company, a good video and some ice cream" Vee smiled. Tye's face lit up.

T-"You've got a deal. I'll go get a video and some triple choc fudge ice-cream and I'll be back shortly." Vee laughed.

V-" Cool, wait babe. What movie are you going to get?" Tye thought for a moment.

T-"Maybe some eye candy, how about xXx? Some good old fashioned mindless action flick with a seriously hot hero" Vee smiled.

V-"Sounds heavenly. Vin Diesel and triple choc fudge ice-cream, what more could a girl want?" Tye nodded.

T-"Exactly." Tye waved and quickly ran out of the room leaving Vee shaking her head.

~~ 2 Days Later ~~

Vee dressed slowly. Her ribs were still unbelievably sore, but she was determined to go on this trip. Tye, Lore and her were having a long over due bonding trip. It had been so long since they'd had some girlfriend time. That and well, they were going to make Trish replace Vee's ruined boots. Bullying a Diva was always fun. A knock on the door signalled Tye's arrival.

V-"It's open" Vee called and Tye bounced in.

T-"Hey" She said excitedly.

V-"Hey right back at ya" Vee smiled. Matt walked out of the bathroom and looked at Tye.

M-"You got ants in your pants or something?" Matt asked as Tye bounced happily.

T-"Or something. What are you doing this weekend?" She directed at Matt.

M-"Hanging out with the boys while you three go on your shopping trip."

T-"Have fun" Matt looked at her shocked.

M-"What? No witty rebuke? no snide comments? Are you sick?" Tye laughed.

T-"No just amped. My girl and I are going on a trip" Tye smiled widely as she put her arm delicately around Vee, careful not to hurt her. Matt nodded and walked towards Vee as Tye bounced over to the mini bar.

M-"Are you ok babe?" Matt whispered so only Vee could hear.

V-"Yeah. I'll be careful, don't worry. Besides I'm with Tye and Lore, I'll be fine." Tye bounced back over to them as Matt kissed Vee on the cheek.

T-"Don't worry dick face, I'll take good care of her." Tye smiled.

M-"You better… So why isn't Elle going with you?" Tye snorted.

V-"Elle and shopping don't really mix. She's going to, the name escapes me, to some little shop to get a pair of boots she's had her eye on for a while. Is she dragging Damien with her?" Matt nodded his head.

M-"I think so. I swear she should just get him a collar and lead and get it over with"

T-"What makes you think she hasn't?" Tye asked bubbly. Matt's eyes grew wide and he put up his hands in surrender.

M-"Don't tell me, I don't want to know." Tye smiled. Her job was done, that image would haunt him for life.

V-"Alright, lets go." Vee stated as she attempted to lift her bag. She flinched and dropped it. "Damn it" She yelled and ran a frustrated hand through her hair.

T-"I got it honey" Tye smiled dismissing the action as an everyday occurrence. She walked to the door.

M-"Babe are you sure you're up to this?" Vee nodded her head.

V-"Yeah. I'll be fine, just no heavy lifting." Matt rubbed her back gently.

M-"Call me when you get there?" Vee nodded. "Ok, have fun" He leaned in and kissed her gently.

V-"Thanks. Bye babe" Vee hugged Matt gently before walking toward the door to join Tye and Lore on the way to Milan.

~~ Milan ~~

The girls arrived and as promised Vee called Matt quickly. They dumped their bags at their hotel and hit the shops.

T-"Oh man, we are so going in here" Tye called out suddenly as the girls walked along the street checking out the shop front windows.

V-"What?" Vee asked walking to where Tye was standing. She turned and saw what had captured Tye's attention. The two stood staring open-mouthed at the store. Lore looked at them strangely.

L-"What is it?" She finally drudged over to them and looked in the same direction. Her mouth dropped open and she gasped. Leather. Not just any leather, the finest leather in the world. Wall to wall trench coats, boots, pants, skirts, jackets, bags, everything. The girls were in awe.

~~ 2 hours Later ~~

The girls finally emerged from the Leather store and continued down the street with about 5 bags each. They stopped off at 3 more stores and found themselves loaded up. So after a quick pit stop they were free to continue. Vee found the store that carried her boots Trash ruined. She quickly ran in and snapped up the last pair of her favourite boots.

V-"I'm so sending her the bill" Vee exclaimed to Lore. L-"Hell yes, bitch is going to pay."

T-"Literally." Tye smiled as she surveyed the store. She screamed and the girls rushed over to her.

V-"What? What's wrong?" Tye squealed happily.

T-"Check out those boots" Tye stated excitedly. The girls looked in the direction Tye was and spotted them. Black suede thigh high boots with 6-inch stiletto heals. They were magnificent. "I want" Tye said huskily causing Lore and Vee to take a step backwards. The store clerk brought out a pair of the boots and Tye quickly exclaimed.

T-"I'll take them" Scaring the women slightly. They spotted several other pairs of boots that they just had to have and were off. With two pairs of boots each and about 50 more stores to visit the girls were having a ball. They decided to go in intervals. 4 stores at a time (or more if their arms weren't full) and then a pit stop at the hotel.

After the next round the girls headed for a cute little café. They chatted and pretty much acted like girls.

V-"Guys, scary thought. We're practically acting like Kiebler here." The girls got very quiet suddenly.

T-"We make a pact. To never mention the girlieness of this weekend to anyone. This remains our little secret, we spend so much money it should be criminal and we go home and bask in the glory that is our new clothes.

All-"Deal"

The girls visited a total of 60 stores and spent and obscene amount of money. They ended up having to visit a luggage store and spend up big just to take home all the apparel they bought. But hey, when in Milan, girls will be girls.

TBC…

Next time on An Amazonian Life. Back in the US what will come of Malice? Jazz has been watching Vee's matches, what is her agenda? All this and more, when we return.

PLEASE REVEW!!!!!
