Jeff Hardy kicked at the pop machine, it had taken his money and there was no coke forth coming. He sighed, being extreme wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. He slammed his fist into the machine and it finally gave forth his can of coke. As he bent down to pick it up he heard footsteps, and quickly straightened. He turned around to see HHH coming out of the off limits area of the gardens.
"You get lost?" He asked with a small smile. HHH had changed, become extremely devious, and Jeff wasn't going to let an opportunity to get a few words in pass.
"Something like that kid." HHH replied with a grin. "Heard from Amy lately?" He asked, "How's she doing?"
"Just great. She's bored though, can't wait to get back into the ring." Jeff said with a smile, opening his coke.
"I know the feeling. Do me a favor?" HHH moved closer to Jeff. "Make sure no one goes poking around back there. I've got a surprise for someone back there, and if anyone ruins it.. I'll hold it on your head." He snarled then stomped away. Jeff grinned to himself.
"Hold it on my head eh.. I guess then I should be the one to ruin your surprise." He sipped at his coke and watched HHH storm away.
Willow stared at her hands, her phone had been dead for about 5 minutes. The small closet got closer and closer to her with every second. She'd been able to keep her mind off the attack of the day before, but with each second in the closet the events preyed on her mind. She shook her head and kicked at the door. No sound from the hall came to her and she sighed, shaking her head.
"Relax, have fun." She muttered. "Why the hell did I come here any ways!" She shot the camera a glare. "I could have stayed home, and put up with a stalker who thinks I taste like strawberries. But noo, I had to come and visit my relatives. Now I'm a god damned hostage." She stopped as the light flickered, then sighed. The ranting was helping, but the light flickering was not. The light flickered again and she shuddered. Being in a small dark place would not be a good thing. The light flickered again then dimmed and Willow moaned.
HHH stared at a tv monitor and grinned. It looked like his little present was afraid of the dark. He switched the tv off and sauntered towards the stage. It was time for his little surprise to make her debut.
Jeff waited until HHH was headed for the ring. As long as Hunter would be busy he could take the time to find out what this 'surprise' was . He smiled grimly and headed into the out of bound area.
Willow began to whimper as the light dimmed and flickered again. She put her hands up to her head and tried to focus on anything but the dark. The light flickered again and went out and Willow moaned. She stood, focusing on the light shining underneath the door. Willow kicked at the door and then began to hammer her fists into the door.
HHH watched as Undertaker and Bischoff circled each other in the ring. As the macho posturing between the two finally stopped and they began to speak, HHH stepped out onto the ramp.
"Taker. I have a surprise for you." He said, "I thought this might make you change your mind about this match you keep bitching about. We both know you'd never beat me any ways.. but I thought a little insurance would help you understand the same. Lets roll that tape…" He gestures towards the big screen.
Willow flipped, there was no light and the walls were closing in on her. She pounded on the door, her reason completely gone. She wanted out and she wanted out now. Tears ran freely down her face and she sobbed loudly.
"Now Taker, You might recognize the lovely little thing on screen. It's a little dark where she is but you can understand why she's so upset. She's been trapped in there for a good 10 minutes now, and I think she might be a little bit claustrophobic." HHH's grin grew as he looked at Takers face, slowly going purple.
Jeff ran through the closed off area, listening hard for the pounding noise he had heard. What the fuck was HHH thinking? He'd trapped someone back here? Where they were doing renovations and no one was allowed. Jeff skidded around a corner and ducked to avoid an area of scaffolding. The pounding sound was closer now, and he paused.
"Is anybody down here?" He called.
Taker grabbed the microphone from Bishoff, his face was set in an angry mask. The screen still held Willow, trapped in a small dark space sobbing wildly.
"You're a dead man Hunter." He growled. "You think that messing with my family will do anymore than make me want to kill you? You're an idiot."
"I'm the Idiot?" HHH shook his head, "You may have been smart enough to leave Sara at home, far out of reach. But then you invite your cute little cousin down. She doesn't even know anything about the WWE. Just that you wrestle…" He laughed. "I almost feel bad for her. Such a cute innocent little thing. Now shes trapped. No one to let her out… no one that is but me." He waved at the screen and grinned. "If she wasn't insurance, I'd want to take her for myself. But that's the whole point. She's insurance. Now I don't want to have to do to you what I did to Shawn Michael's…" HHH paused and grinned. "No wait maybe I do. Its just that I don't want to have to deal with your pathetic ass until then. So we make a deal. You leave me the hell alone, and your precious little cousin there stays safe, healthy and most importantly alive. You and me. Unforgiven.."
Jeff moved on going slower now as the pounding sound got closer. He could actually hear someone sobbing too. The section ahead of him had no lights but it was definitely where the sounds where coming from.
"Hello?" He yelled, looking down the corridor to see a door hidden far at the back practically vibrating.
A voice reached through Willows shock and she looked up, her heads were raw and some of her knuckles had split. She held her breath and heard footsteps.
"Sweet lady.." She swore softly. "Hello?" She shouted, hoping that it was not Hunter.
HHH trailed off as the hysterical weeping and pounding stopped. He turned to the screen to see Willow calling out.
"Son of a bitch." He swore.
Jeff stopped in front of the door and tried the knob.
"Its locked. Give me a minute." He said looking around the corridor. He could hear the girl inside struggling to catch her breath. "I'm here now. Your gonna be just fine." He could hear her jiggling the handle. "Just give me a few minutes. I'll let you out."
Willow could hear the man outside, he was trying to calm her down. She wanted to tell him that everything was alright, but she knew it wasn't. Nothing was alright. Nothing would be alright. The darkness around her grew closer and closer. No matter how soon she got out. It wouldn't be fast enough. The darkness was too close now.
Jeff sighed, there was nothing in the hall that he could use to open the door. It was time to put his muscles to use.
"Stand back ok? I'm gonna try and break it down." He called through the door. He heard nothing but stepped back and threw himself into the door. It splintered but did not give. He backed up and kicked the door, it moved inwards a few inches. He tried the door again but it wouldn't move any further. "One more and then I'll have you out." He threw his shoulder into it again and it gave.
Willow watched as the door finally gave and more light came into the closet. She could see her rescuers outline in the dim hallway. She threw herself forwards, wanting desperately to get out of the closet. She slammed into the mans chest and didn't care. All that mattered was getting out.
Jeff wrapped his arms around the girl he had rescued. She was shaking and gasping wildly for breath. He stepped back dragging her farther away from the closet.
"Your just fine now, ok? Lets get you out of here." He soothed, then let go of her stepping into the closet to grab for what looked like a bag.
Taker grinned as the closet door splintered then gave. He smiled at HHH who was now slowly turning a deep purple.
"Looks like your little plan went sour on you Hunter. As for the match you want. I'll rip you to pieces at Unforgiven, with my cousin at ringside cheering me on." He said into the mike. His grin grew even wider as he saw just who it was that had rescued his niece. HHH swore as Jeff Hardy retreated from the closet, HHH shook his head and ran off.
Willow stood in the hallway as her rescuer grabbed her bag. She still shook and wished she was back in Sunnydale where she could put this off as a bad dream, and go on with her life. But her life in Sunnydale was a hellish nightmare and anything had to be better than that. Her rescuer was tall, and well muscled. She decided that he must be a wrestler.
"Where are you headed?" He asked, bringing her out of her thoughts. "I mean your visiting someone right?"
"I'm visiting my cousin Mark. I don't know where he is." Willow said looking at the man warily, he had bright blue and green hair, and a friendly face. From the lit section she could hear footsteps running and she swore. HHH came around the corner, followed by a camera crew and then her cousin, the Undertaker. From behind came the sound of slow dreamy steps and off key humming that she recognized from somewhere. As HHH dove at her rescuer she turned slowly to see Drusilla waltzing happily up the hallway, a tattered porcelen doll in hand. "As if things could get worse." She said softly. HHH, her cousin and the other guy were engaged in a large brawl that was takign them back up the corridor.
