Unforgiven : 22-09-2002.
"Uncle Kane,uncle Kane"
Kane turned around and smiled when he saw his niece running towards him.
"Hey munchkin" Kane said.
Valerie smiled brightly at her uncle.She knew he was set to take on the Un-Americans (Storm,Test,Regal and Christian) and she was going to be there,she decided to just come out and say it.
"I wanna valet for you tonight" Valerie said.
"Munchkin…" Kane started.
"I need to be out there tonight,uncle Kane" Valerie interrupted.
"I don't wanna see you get hurt" Kane said.
"I wont get hurt,I just need to be there" Valerie said.
Kane went to argue with his niece but when he saw the pleading look in her blue eyes he couldn't refuse so he merely sighed.
"Alright,you can come but don't get involved" Kane said.
Valerie smiled and heaved a sigh of relief.She knew she wouldn't stay out of it but she had to promise or she wouldn't be allowed to go out there.She had a serious score to settle with Christian and tonight she would begin to settle it.
Bubba Ray Dudley,Goldust and Booker-T went out first and Kane and Valerie went last.Valerie drank in the crowd's cheers and ignored the way Christian was looking at her,she would deal with him soon enough.The match started after the bell rang but it was soon out of control.
All eight men brawled back and forth until the referee gained some control and managed to get all but two of the men out of the ring.Christian and Kane,Kane demolished Christian,fueled by the knowledge that his niece was watching.
Valerie knew that her uncle could easily take Christian out but it wasn't what she wanted,she wanted revenge and the only way to get it was by getting involved.She walked around the ring to where Christian was trying to catch his breath and waiting for him to notice her.When he did,she connected with a very harsh forearm to the head,sending him reeling back.Kane took over and chokeslammed Christian,pinning him quite easily.
Valerie decided the forearm to the head wasn't enough as she climbed into the ring.She stomped at Christian as he tried to get to see his feet and kept kicking him down.She shook her uncle off when he tried to stop her and climbed to the top rope,hitting Christian with a moonsault,a slightly imperfect moonsault caused by the emotion she was feeling.
She would have continued the assault if it hadn't been for Kane grabbing her and dragging her away from Christian.Valerie swore loudly as Kane put her over his shoulder and carried her out of there.
"Let me go,I mean it uncle Kane" Valerie yelled while struggling.
Christian,in the mean time,stumbled to his feet and grabbed a microphone.
"Valerie" Christian yelled.
Valerie looked up and stopped struggling in her uncle's arms.Kane stopped walking and looked at the big screen in front of him while Valerie looked at Christian.
"You listen to me you little bitch" Christian snapped.
The fans booed but Christian ignored them.
"You wanna fight,huh?.You wanna fight me,we'll fight.Next week on Smackdown,you and me" Christian yelled.
Kane's face contorted underneath his mask and he put Valerie down so he could go beat up Christian. Valerie stood in front of her uncle and stopped him.
"Uncle Kane no,this is my fight now" Valerie said.
Kane looked down at his niece and watched as she grabbed a microphone to address Christian.Kane hoped that she wouldn't accept the challenge but he knew better.
"You want a match Christian?" Valerie asked,knowing the answer.
Christian nodded and the fans hushed as they looked at Valerie.
"You got it" sounded through the arena and the fans went nuts.
Kane looked at Valerie as if she had gone insane.
"Are you crazy?.You can't accept a match with him" Kane said.
"I just did" Valerie said.
She turned and walked backstage,her uncle right behind her.As she had expected her father was waiting for her backstage.
"Dad…"
"Don't you dad me,how could you accept a match with him?.Do you have any idea what he might do to you?" Taker yelled.
"Dad,this is Christian we're talking about,not the Big Show" Valerie said.
"He may not be the Big Show but he's still bigger and stronger than you and there's no way I'm allowing you to wrestle that match" Taker ranted.
"I'm going to wrestle that match"
"Not if we can help it" Kane said.
"You can't help it,I need…" Valerie started.
"You need to listen to what I'm trying to tell you,you're not wrestling that match" Taker said again.
"You can't stop me" Valerie yelled.
"Watch me" Taker said,before walking off.
Valerie turned and looked at her uncle and when she saw that she wasn't going to get any support from him she ran to follow her father.
***
Valerie scowled as she sat in her lockerroom,she didn't have a match that night and she probably wouldn't have a match on Smackdown either.A knock on the door startled her from her thoughts and she sighed in exasperation.
"What?" Valerie yelled at whoever it was.
The door opened and much to Valerie's surprise a still slightly battered Paul Heyman walked into the room. He moved with indifference as he sat down in front of Valerie without so much as a word and his face was neutral but his eyes betrayed his real emotions,he was angry,very angry.
"Well,you're boldly going where I thought I told you not to go,what the hell are you doing in my lockerroom?" Valerie demanded.
"I came here to tell you that I'm not pressing charges" Heyman said,picking one of Valerie's shirts up.
"Would you mind putting that down?" Valerie asked.
Heyman put his nose in the shirt and took a deep breath making Valerie look away in disgust.
"Ahhh,such a tempting scent" Heyman said with a big smirk on his face.
"You're disgusting" Valerie snarled.
"Flattery isn't going to help you,dear Valerie" Heyman mocked.
"What are you doing here?" Valerie asked.
"I came here to talk to you" Heyman
"About what Heyman?.About the way I kicked your ass?.About the way I'm about to kick your ass?" Valerie asked.
"Don't flatter yourself,you got lucky the first time because you caught me off guard" Heyman sneered.
"Really?.Shall we test that theory?" Valerie asked,getting up.
"Now,now Valerie,there's no need to become violent.I merely wish to talk to you about your current status" Heyman said.
"Current status?" Valerie asked in confusion.
"Your single status.You are now unattached I believe" Heyman said,looking Valerie up and down.
"About as unattached as your arms will be if you keep eyeballing me like that" Valerie said.
"You're such a tease" Heyman said "but I'll get to the point if you wish,Brock isn't pleased with the way the two of you broke up and he wishes to make it up to you.However,I encourage you not to talk to him.Not only would I much rather have you for myself,I also think you're a bad influence on my client"
"My god,you're even more delusional than I thought,you actually think we're going to be together?" Valerie asked in disgust.
"Of course and why wouldn't we be?.You are a beautiful woman after all" Heyman said.
"That's not…" Valerie started.
"And to think you haven't even begun to blossom yet" Heyman said,ignoring Valerie's protest "You just wait,once you turn 21 you'll be more beautiful than even I could have imagined"
Valerie shivered as she turned away from Heyman.
"Get out" Valerie said,not looking at Heyman.
"You're in denial,that's all this is" Heyman said.
"Get out" Valerie yelled.
Heyman looked at Valerie for a second and then nodded.
"I'll go" Heyman said,getting up and walking to the door.
Before Heyman left he turned to Valerie and said:
"I advice you to take me serious,you might end up in a whole heap of trouble if you don't"
Valerie pulled her upper lip up and shivered again as Heyman left.She sank down on the bench and rubbed her head.Great,now I got a headache.She glanced at the monitor and saw that Chris Benoit had just finished beating Kurt Angle.By cheating no doubt.The camera's went backstage and Valerie scowled when she saw who Marc Lloyd was standing by with.
***
"Brock,are you at all sorry for intimidating the Undertaker's wife Sara the way you did,I mean your girlfriend obviously…" Marc Lloyd started.
"I am not sorry for intimidating the Undertaker's wife" Brock snapped at Lloyd "And I have no problem with what I'm going to do to the Undertaker tonight.As for Valerie…"
Brock stopped when he saw the young red headed woman approach him.Valerie silently walked to Brock as he looked at her.There was doubt in his eyes,he obviously didn't know what she would say or do.Valerie stood in front of Brock and shot him the coldest look she possibly could.The camera turned to Valerie and showed the world the showdown between former lovers.
"Valerie" Brock said.
"Brock" Valerie said.
"Did you see Paul?" Brock asked.
"He came to see me,yes" Valerie said.
"What did he say?" Brock wanted to know.
Valerie was tempted to tell Brock about what Heyman had said but she didn't,she'd let Brock figure it out all by himself.She'd let him take care of his treacherous manager by himself.
"Nothing much,the same old crap" Valerie said "But that's not why I came here.He said you wanted to talk to me"
"I do" Brock said.
"Do you regret what you did?" Valerie asked.
"No" Brock said.
"Will you stop harassing my family?" Valerie asked,feeling her temper flare up.
"No" Brock said again.
"Then there's nothing to fucking talk about" Valerie yelled,making the fans cheer "You're a selfish and cold-hearted asshole and I hope my father kicks your ass tonight"
Brock looked a little taken aback by her outburst.Valerie waited for Brock to say something and when it didn't seem as if he would,she shook her head.
"You truly are a piece of shit" Valerie said,before moving to walk away.
Brock grabbed Valerie's arm and pulled her back.The fans booed because they thought he would hurt her but Brock merely moved his head close to hers and put his mouth against her ear.
"It's not over" Brock whispered "Not until I say so"
Brock let go of Valerie's arm and walked away,leaving her behind in confusion and anger.The camera zoomed in on Valerie's face just as she muttered:
"Self-centered bastard"
***
The moment had arrived,the match between Brock Lesnar and the Undertaker,the vendetta would reach it's peak and Valerie was nervous as hell.She knew this match would be hard on both men and although she didn't care about Brock anymore,she cared alot about her father and she was worried about him.
She was now sitting next to her uncle in his lockerroom watching the match.She didn't realize she was chewing her nails until her uncle gently grabbed her hand and pulled it away from her mouth.She smiled at him but wasn't able to hide her fear.She was scared,scared for her father's safety,scared of Brock and scared what Paul Heyman might have meant when he said that she needed to take him serious.
She watched as her father and ex-boyfriend went at it with everything they had and she watched as they beat eachother bloody.The referee tried to control the match only to be pushed away by Lesnar and he had no choice but to call for the bell and rule the match a draw.
The fight continued however and Taker and Brock wrestled to the outside and the fight didn't end until Taker threw Brock through the Unforgiven sign on the stage.Valerie felt a wave of emotion come over her, the fight had stopped and her father had certainly won but she knew this would only serve to anger Brock and the war was far from over.
A/N : I consider this one of the better chapters I've posted lately and I would really appreciate it if everyone who reads this reviews the chapter and tells me what they think,I get really frustrated when I don't get any reviews,I keep wondering if maybe the chapter wasn't good enough or whatever so if you could just take the time to give me a review,if only a short one,I would be very thankful.
