A/N : Now this is what I call a mile stone.30 chapters and still counting.Don't ask me why Triple H wasn't on team WWE in my fic cause I don't know,I had already written the thing before I came up with that,so…
Survivor Series 2001 : 18-11-2001.
Greensboro,NC.
The grand day,the day of the Winner Takes All Match but Valerie's mind wasn't on that match,she had faith in team WWE and she knew they would pull through,her mind was on her own match.She had a six-woman match that night,during which a new women's champion would be crowned.She had to be prepared both mentally and physically if she was gonna be the next Women's champion.
She was so preoccupied with her match that she didn't notice someone sneaking up behind her.She felt two strong arms snake around her waist and she immediately knew it wasn't Jeff.
"What in the…?"
Valerie struggled in Christian's arms but his grip was too strong,she tried to elbow him but he kept dodging and kicking him didn't work either.
"Let me go,you sonofabitch" she yelled.
"Or what,huh?.What are you gonna do about it?" Christian asked,a confident smirk on his face.
Christian laughed and moved his hands up so they were almost on her breasts,his grip loosened a little, allowing Valerie to elbow him in the jaw.He let go of her but he tripped her before she could run away.She jumped up only to be pushed down again.Christian approached her with his hand on his jaw.
"You're gonna pay for that little Valerie" he sneered.
Next thing Valerie knew Christian was on the floor,in pain.He was pulled off of the ground and slammed into the wall.
"If you ever go near her again,I will kill you,do you hear me?"
Christian nodded quickly and walked away after he was let go of.Valerie was stunned,she had never seen him angry before.He turned to her and smiled that comforting and carefree smile.
"Hey,are you okay?" RVD asked.
"Yeah.Thanks" Valerie said.
"You're welcome" RVD said.
Valerie looked into Rob Van Dam's eyes and saw so much affection,she was overwhelmed.Valerie nodded dumbly at him and he smiled even broader.
"You probably shouldn't be talking to me,so I'll be going now,you take care of yourself" he said softly.
"I will" she said.
RVD waved and walked off.Valerie was left standing there in bewilderment.She walked to her father's dressingroom in a daze and walked in.Her father,her uncle,the Big Show,the Rock and Chris Jericho were in there discussing their strategy for the big match.She smiled briefly at them as they greeted her.She stayed as far away from the Big Show as she could and positioned herself in front of the monitor.
There was nothing she could do to prepare herself physically that she hadn't done already,it was time to relax, maybe even meditate a little.
She watched the show and saw Christian taking on Al Snow to defend his European Title.Christian was clutching his abdomen a couple of time during the match and Valerie smirked,RVD had done that.She scowled as she watched him win the match.Damn him,he should have lost.
She watched the matches go by,laughed when Edge made his comment about Test's accent and generally prepared for her match.
Team WWE split ways to each get ready.The Rock gave Valerie a hug before leaving and told her good luck in her match,he would be watching.Taker turned to his daughter and said:
"You know you're staying backstage when we have the match,don't you?"
"Yes I do" Valerie said.
"Good" Taker said nodding.
"Are you ready for your match,munchkin?" Kane said.
"Almost" Valerie answered.
Kane smiled and watched his niece sitting in front of the monitor.
"Are you nervous?" Taker asked.
"Very,it is for the women's title" Valerie said.
Taker nodded,he understood what she was feeling as did Kane.Valerie suddenly got up and said:
"I gotta go do something"
Taker frowned,he looked at the monitor and than it dawned on him.Jeff Hardy.Valerie walked into the hall and saw Lita and Jeff talking.She heard Lita ask Jeff if he thought Matt was acting strange lately.Jeff said it had to do with the pressure Team Extreme was under.Matt walked in just as Valerie approached.Matt put his arm around Lita.
"Hey,what are you two talking about?"
Lita just smiled and Jeff turned to Valerie.He lift her into his arms and kissed her.
"Hey,I came wish you guys luck in your cage match" Valerie said.
"Thanks babe"
Jeff and Valerie kissed again and Matt and Jeff walked away and Valerie turned to Lita.
"Hey,all ready for our big match?" Valerie asked.
"You bet" Lita replied.
"Good lu…" Valerie started.
But she was interrupted by Trish Stratus.
"Girls,fellow divas.Good luck to both of you tonight" Trish said.
"Thanks Trish" Lita said.
"You too Trish" Valerie said.
"See you in the ring"
Valerie went back to the dressingroom to watch the cage match between the Hardy's and the Dudley's.It was a historic match as it would unify the WCW and WWE Tag team championships.At the end of the match Jeff crashed through a table and was pinned by Bubba Ray.
Valerie yelped as Jeff went through the table and she raced out of the dressingroom.She met Lita on her way to the ring.Valerie watched anxiously as Jeff was put on a stretcher.She had tears in her eyes as she walked with him to the ambulance,she couldn't go with him because she had a match later on and Vince McMahon had obligated everyone on the WWE roster to stay unless their injured.She would visit him as soon as the show was over.She begged one of the EMT's to give her the phonenumber of the hospital and he did.
She went back to the dressingroom,where both her father and her uncle had been watching.Valerie collapsed into Taker's arms and cried while he stroked her cheek.He soothed her and told her it was going to be okay. She managed to calm down after a while.Taker placed her before the monitor again and told her to watch some tv and calm down.
Valerie absently watched as 22 superstars went at it in a battle royal with Test taking Scotty 2 Hotty's place.It was a battle royal to earn a year of guaranteed employment.Test won the thing but Valerie didn't care,she didn't like Test much with the way he treated the divas and the fact that he had attacked Scotty 2 Hotty from behind just to get into the battle royal didn't help much either.
Her mind was on Jeff the entire time,after a while she couldn't handle it anymore,she ran into the hall and to the payphone,her father watched her go.
"Where is she going?" Taker asked.
"Probably calling the hospital" Kane stated accurately.
Valerie dashed to the payphone and hastily threw in a quarter.She dialed the phonenumber she had been given by one of the EMT's and waited.The receptionist picked up the phone and Valerie asked for information on Jeff,she told her to hold.
While Valerie was waiting,she heard somebody approach from behind.She heard a growl and slowly turned around to find herself eye to eye with the very big and very broad Rhyno.His nose touched hers and her eyes widened in fear,he looked her up and down as his hair dripped water onto her shirt.She began to fear what he might do when suddenly he backed off and walked away.
Valerie was shaking by now and when the receptionist came back on the phone,she stammered that she was still there.
"Is everything alright miss?" the receptionist asked.
"Yes,everything's fine" Valerie answered,quickly regaining her senses.
"Well,I have the information you wanted"
As the receptionist told Valerie just what was wrong with Jeff,she sat down on the floor and broke down in sobs.Her entire frame was shaking as the receptionist finished.
"Miss,are you all alone there?" the receptionist worriedly asked.
"I'll be fine" Valerie whispered between sobs.
She dropped the phone and started to cry.After only a little while she felt two arms wrapping themselves around her,she startled and looked up but when she saw who it was she let him cradle her in his arms.
"It's alright,kiddo" Triple H soothed.
"Jeff" Valerie managed to say.
"I know,he's gonna be fine,you and I both know that" Triple H said softly.
Valerie nodded but couldn't say anything.After she calmed down and Triple H helped her up.He smiled at her and pointed at her shirt.
"You cried so hard,you're all wet"
Valerie looked down and was suddenly reminded of her encounter with Rhyno,that had been strange and scary and she couldn't really deal with either at that moment.She didn't show any of her concerns or worried to Triple H though,as she smiled at him but before she could say anything a messenger came up to her and told her it was time for her match.
"I better go" she said to Triple H.
"Good luck,I'll be watching"
Valerie hurried back to the dressingroom,slipped into a new shirt while Kane and Taker wished her luck and stormed out again before they could say anything else.She met Trish Stratus and Lita at the entrance and smiled nervously.Lita could see that she was upset and she knew why,she gently rubbed Valerie's back before the three of them went out.
The crowd cheered for them as they came out to represent the WWE.Representing the Alliance were Ivory, Mighty Molly and a mystery participant who turned out to be ECW's Jazz.The rules of the match allowed any person to tag in anyone else.The first person to score a pinfall or submission on another would become the new Women's champion.
Valerie and Jazz started the match.Jazz was a powerful and brutal wrestler but Valerie had a tremendous height advantage over her and she had had major training from the best of the best over the past couple of months.
Valerie held her own against Jazz but wasn't able to come out on top when Jazz,Molly and Ivory began pounding her at the same time,she received help from Lita.Lita nailed Ivory with a Twist of Fate and a moonsault but wasn't able to pin her because Molly and Jazz broke it up.
Valerie fought Jazz on the outside and would have knocked Jazz out if it hadn't been for somebody in the crowd knocking her out from behind,she was laid out as the person who did it left quickly.The cameras followed and revealed who it was,Shane McMahon.Shane smirked as he went back to the backstage area.Taker,Kane and the Rock would have gone to look for Shane if their match hadn't been up next.Trish had pinned Ivory after nailing her with her bulldog and became the new Women's Champion.
"We'll get him in the ring" Taker stated as he,Kane and the Rock waited for Valerie to be taken backstage.
Valerie walked to her father,stepped into his embrace and sighed.
"So much for that" she said.
She sounded sad and this pissed them off even more.
"You'll get that title,just you wait" Kane said.
"Next time" the Rock added.
"Yeah,next time" Valerie said,not sounding convincing even to her own ears.
Chris Jericho and the Big Show came walking into the hall,it was time for the big match.
"Will you be alright?" Taker asked.
"Yeah,I'll be fine" Valerie said.
Valerie went back to the dressingroom and took a long hot shower while the match was already on its way.The WWE members and Alliance members were all watching the match.When Valerie exited the shower,the Big Show,Shane McMahon,Kane and the Undertaker were out of the match.She couldn't believe it as she left the room.Taker and Kane came backstage and saw that Valerie was gone.
"Pinch me,I think I'm dreaming" Taker said sarcastically.
They both left the room again and went to look for Valerie again only to find that she had gone out to the ring. She was a woman on a mission,she was gonna get some payback for what Austin did to her.Booker-T,RVD, Angle and Y2J had been eliminated when she came out.Only the Rock and Austin remained.Valerie went to the ring and waited for her chance,both Taker and Kane came walking out to the ring to retrieve but they didn't do so before she kicked Austin straight in the head,making him stumble into the Rock who rolled him up and almost got the three count.
Valerie swore loudly as Taker grabbed her arm and pulled her with him to the back.Kurt Angle came back out and whacked Austin with the WWE championship belt.Austin received the Rockbottom and was pinned by the Rock.
While Vince McMahon and the WWE celebrated their win,Taker pulled Valerie with him to the dressingroom. He sat her down and sat across from her.He seemed to be having trouble staying calm.
"I need you to explain something to me,okay?" Taker said calmly.
"Okay" Valerie said slowly.
"How does me telling you to stay out of this match turn into you coming out and interfering?" He asked trying to stay calm.
Valerie didn't respond right away,she looked away.
"Take your time,I know it's a difficult question"
Valerie closed her eyes,his words stung badly.
"I don't know" Valerie said softly.
Suddenly Taker blew a fuse and yelled:
"You don't know?.Well I do.It doesn't.You deliberately disobeyed me by coming out there,knowing full well what the consequences would be" Taker ranted.
"Well maybe those consequences are mine to deal with,not yours" Valerie yelled back.
Taker narrowed his eyes and looked at his daughter.
"What did you say?" Taker said in a dangerously low voice.
"I'm 18 years old,I can take care myself and if I can't and I get my ass whooped than that's my own sad business" Valerie retorted.
On that moment Taker and Valerie both had exactly the same scowl on their faces and it was obvious that they were father and daughter.Taker got up and stood in front of Valerie.
Valerie was afraid she had gone too far this time and she expected her father to burst into a tiranny any second.Instead he started to laugh.Valerie was confused as she saw her father laughing and shaking his head.After a while he said:
"You know joyful…"
Valerie tensed up and listened.
"You really do look like your old man"
Valerie smiled and said:
"I know"
Taker spread his arms and Valerie gladly got up and stepped into his embrace.
"What am I gonna do with you?" Taker said with a sigh.
Valerie giggled and said:
"Lock me up and throw away the key most likely"
Taker laughed and hugged his daughter to him.He was afraid for her safety but as long as she was there with him,no one would harm her.
A/N : I just wanna say that I'm not trying to bash any of the wrestlers in my story,I don't like all of them but there isn't a wrestler that I hate.I portray Christian the way I do because it fits my story,NOT because I hate him.So there you have it.
