A/N : I wanna thank everybody for the wonderful reviews they've given,especially swanton-bomb for saying I don't need reviews.

Valerie was taken to a doctor by Matt and Jeff.Upon examination she was diagnosed with a mild concussion and two broken ribs,not to mention some hair loss when Austin yanked it out.

It didn't take long for the news to reach the Undertaker.Nobody knew who had done it to her yet when he heard but he swore he would make the person who did it pay.He,Sara and Kane went to see her immediately.Taker stormed into the room and saw Jeff sitting next to Valerie.Valerie had her eyes closed.

Taker pushed Jeff out of the way and bent over his daughter.

"Joyful,it's daddy"

Valerie opened her eyes and smiled up at her father.She had been given some painkillers so she was doing alot better.

"Hi dad" Valerie said sleepily.

"How are you feeling?" Taker asked.

"Alright,I guess" she said.

Taker was standing in front of Jeff making him invisible to Valerie.

"Where's Jeff?" she asked with a frown.

"Right here sweetheart" Jeff said,sidestepping Taker and standing near her head.

Valerie smiled as Jeff kissed her on the forehead and stroked her cheek.

"I thought you walked out on me"

"I'll never walk out on you" Jeff said.

"You better not" Taker growled.

Valerie scowled at her father,who snorted and looked away.

"Who did this to you?" Kane asked from where he was standing.

"Stone Cold Steve Austin" Valerie said.

Kane swore in fury and Taker looked about ready to kill somebody but Valerie laughed.

"What's so funny?" Taker asked.

"I told you Austin and I were at war,didn't I?" she said.

This made Taker and Kane scowl even more.

"Well this is one war he's losing" Kane snarled.

"What are you growling at me for?" Valerie snapped.

Kane's face softened a little as he walked to Valerie and sat next to her.

"I'm only trying to see the bright side in this" Valerie said softly.

"I know and I'm sorry,it just pisses me off" Kane said as calmly as he could.

"Don't worry about Austin,he wont touch you again" Taker said.

Valerie looked at her father and saw the determination in his features.She looked at her uncle and saw the same thing.She looked at her boyfriend,who was obviously on the same page as them cause he was scowling as well,Jeff's face softened when he saw Valerie looking at him.He kissed her again and Valerie sighed happily.Maybe,just maybe,everything would be alright after all.Now all she had to do was deal with RVD and Christian and everything would be fine.

She spent most of the evening watching the Raw show but got so mad when she saw Kurt Angle defecting to the Alliance that she turned the tv off,just barely stopping herself from kicking it over again,and spent the rest of the evening writing in her notebook.Valerie had always been artistic,ever since she was a little girl she wrote stories and drew pictures.She wasn't very good at drawing so she eventually settled for writing only.

Her father had read some of her work and he told her she was very good,she had her doubts however.She had allowed Jeff to read some of her work while she read some of his poetry.Jeff was really good at writing poetry,it was some of the most romantic and dreamy stuff she had ever read and she loved it but than she did love everything about Jeff.

Smackdown : 01-11-2001.

Valerie came into the building flanked by her father and her uncle.They were determined to keep Valerie safe. Valerie felt suffocated,she wasn't allowed to go anywhere anymore,not even with Jeff.Valerie felt her father was somehow using this whole Austin situation as an excuse to keep Jeff away from her but when she had confronted her father about it,he had lost it.He yelled at her,telling her this wasn't a game and that she was being paranoid.Valerie huffed,paranoid was she?.Sure dad,whatever you say.

Valerie shook her head and cast her thoughts aside,it would do no good for her father to be angry at her and maybe he was just worried.

They walked into Taker and Kane's dressingroom,Valerie dumped her bags in the corner and dropped herself on one of the benches.She knew exactly what was next.

"You know the drill,joyful.Stay in the dressingroom,lock the door and don't open it until we get back"

"Got it" Valerie said with a scowl.

Taker and Kane left the room,Valerie locked the door and sat back down.She turned the tv on and saw her father and uncle walking through the hallway,she watched as they reached William Regal's office and entered.

Valerie frowned,what were they doing there?.Taker and Kane cornered Regal and he looked nervous.

"Gentlemen,what may I do for you today?"

Taker did his very best to stay calm while he sat down on the edge of Regal's desk.

"As you may have already guessed seeing Austin putting his greasy hands all over my child didn't make me a very happy man,in fact it made me wanna kill somebody but as angry as it made me,I'm not even talking about what it did to Kane,Kane why don't you show commisioner Regal what happens to people who touch your niece" Taker said anger evident in his voice.

Kane set fire to Regal's trashcan.

"Now,gentlemen,I understand that you're upset about what happened but I'm not the one that touched your daughter and your niece,Austin is" Regal protested.

Kane growled,Taker got off of Regal's desk and Kane set fire to it.

"What do you want?" he screeched.

"I want a title-shot against Austin,tonight"

"I honestly don't think…"

But before Regal could say anything else,Kane set fire to one of his plants.Regal was now surrounded by fire and it was scaring him.Valerie sighed,her father would get what he wanted,he always did when he was like that.Shame about the plant though.She looked at the door and realised that if she wanted to see her boyfriend at all that day,she would have to find him now.

"Screw it" Valerie said,throwing the remote down and leaving the room.

Valerie unlocked the door,peeked out to see if the coast was clear.It was.She left the room and walked through the hallway,on her way to the Hardy Lockerroom.As luck would have it she ran into the last damn person she wanted to see.Within seconds she was flat on her back,Austin's foot lodged into her throat.She choked and gurgled as Austin laughed.

"Did you think I was through with ya,huh?.I aint half way through yet" Austin snarled.

He looked around for something,than smirked when he thought of something.He grabbed Valerie by her hair and pulled her up.He slung her over his shoulder and carried her through the hallway and into the parkinglot. Valerie swore when she realised there was no one around,where were the crowded hallways when you needed them?.She struggled in Austin's arms but it was to no avail.

"Put me down,you asshole" she spat.

Austin laughed as he placed her in one of the containers that littered the parking-lot while she struggled to get away.

"Get in there,you little bitch" Austin yelled.

She placed her leg between the lid and the container to stop it from closing but Austin pounded the lid on her leg repeatedly,closed it and placed a heavy box on top of it.

"Maybe this will teach you to stay away from Stone Cold Steve Austin.Sweet dreams,little girl"

He left,laughing.Valerie screamed and pounded the lid,there was very little air in the container.She tryed to open it using her legs but there was something very heavy on top of it.Taker and Kane went back to the lockerroom,satisfied that they had gotten what they wanted.Taker instinctively tryed the door before knocking and when it swung open,he stormed in praying that she had just forgotten to lock the door,it was too much to ask for he knew and it was no surprise to him to see that Valerie was gone.He swore loudly and he and Kane stormed out again.They went straight to the Hardy Lockerroom.Taker pounded on the door and yelled:

"Open the damn door"

Matt opened the door and went to ask what was up but he was pushed aside as Taker and Kane went in.Taker looked around and when he discovered Jeff,he grabbed him by his shirt and shook him around.

"Where's my daughter,you punk?" Taker demanded.

"I don't know,I haven't seen her" Jeff answered.

"Don't bull-shit me,I told her to stay in my dressingroom,she wasn't there when I got back and you're the only one she'd go to" Taker yelled.

Kane put his hand on Taker's shoulder and said:

"Calm down bro,this isn't helping"

"I don't know where Valerie is but I'm gonna help you find her" Jeff said,getting worried himself.

Valerie in the mean time was still pounding the inside of the box,she was getting tired and she was seriously panicking.

"Help me,help me" she whispered as tears roled down her cheeks.

Than her pounding paid off when someone removed the box from the top of the container.The lid opened and Valerie embraced the person that let her out.She didn't know who it was,it didn't matter who it was.She was out and this was the person that saved her.

"It's alright,you're safe now" the man said.

Valerie's eyes flew open as she heard the voice and she instantly backed away.She looked straight into RVD's eyes.She backed away some more and just stared at him.That's when Kane,Taker,Jeff and Matt came into the lockerroom.Valerie saw her father and cringed,this was going to be bad.Jeff ran to her and embraced her,shoving RVD away from her in the process.

"My god,I was so worried"

Yeah he was worried,RVD thought,worried someone might save his girlfriend before he could.Worried he wouldn't get to be the big hero.

RVD backed away as Taker and Kane approached and would have walked away,if Valerie hadn't called out to him.

"Wait"

RVD turned around and looked at Valerie.She smiled at him and said:

"Thank you,again"

"You're always welcome" RVD said.

He wanted to add 'as long as you're safe'  but he thought better of it.It would only provoke Jeff Hardy.Jeff scowled at him but Valerie's smile was still in place.Nice guy,she thought.

Jeff saw her smile and he could feel the anger building.Valerie didn't have any feelings for RVD but it sure looked like it to Jeff.

That night Taker took on Austin for the WWF World Title.Valerie was in her father's dressingroom after receiving a scolding of a lifetime from both her father and her uncle.She promised that she would never do it again but her father had laughed.

"I've heard that before" he had said.

That hurt Valerie,so maybe she did break her promise before,that didn't mean she wasn't trust worthy.

Now her father was in the ring with that bastard Austin and she was glad.A good beating would teach Austin to stay away from her once and for all.

Taker ended up winning the match by disqualification when Kurt Angle came out and interfered but Austin had paid.He was bleeding and in pain and that was,after all,what he deserved.

A/N : Keep the reviews coming,I love reading them and they tell me what you guys liked and what you didn't.
