Disclaimer: I own nothing except Jezebel who's my own evil creation

The bed was empty. Mark sat bolt upright and looked over. Sara was gone. Immediately he knew where she'd gone. It was an instinctive thought that came from being married to her for so long. He knew she wouldn't just sit still and take it. She thought she was right so she'd gone to prove it. She'd gone to try and fight Jezebel.

"Why does she have to be so damn impetuous?" Mark moaned under his breath "can't she listen to me once?"

Some of her clothes had gone as well. She'd left no note, no clue as to where she'd gone. She'd just disappeared. Mark rubbed his face tiredly. He felt totally drained. His wife had gone to kill his twin. It was at times like this he wished he'd been given another life. One without all the strange hassles this one brought. Though he thought to himself sleepily, it would be boring.

With a groan, he got out of bed and quickly dressed. As quickly as his aching limbs would allow him. He made his way out of the room and marched down the corridor, banging on each of the doors with his fist, knowing he had the right doors for each one.

"Don't care if they just got to sleep, they're waking up now" he muttered

After he banged extra loud on Jeff's, knowing how much the younger Hardy liked to sleep, the door opened and Trish stuck her head out, her hair a mess. She flushed when she saw who it was.

"Ummm Mark why the wake up call?" she managed, trying hard not to blush

"Sara's gone" Mark said shortly "I reckon she's gone to find my twin and make short work of her, meet in my room"

He turned and walked away without a word. Trish let out a sigh of relief, glad that Mark hadn't made any comments about her presence in Jeff's room. An arm snaked its way around her waist. She looked up and grinned at Jeff. He kissed her gently, afraid of what might happen. But she kissed him back and when they pulled away, smiled at him

"No regrets?" she said tentatively

"No regrets" Jeff confirmed "let's get dressed and see how we can help Mark"

Trish nodded and retreated into the room, shutting the door behind her. Jeff was feeling a lot better. She grinned to herself. Of course her own unique brand of therapy probably helped a lot. She knew she was going to get a lot of questions from Amy but right now they had to concentrate on Sara and how to find her.

Mark paced in his room. Why would she leave with no indication of where and how? She could have at least woken him up and told him so that he could have tried talking her out of it. But she wouldn't be Sara if she did that. She was naturally spontaneous and always went her own way. This was no exception. If she thought she could beat Jezebel, then that was exactly what she was going to do. In her own mind anyway.

There was a knock on the door and Matt and Amy appeared one after the other. Amy wasn't as pale as before, looking quite bright eyed in hip- clinging baggy black pants and a cropped turquoise tank with a long sleeved fishnet top over it. Sara's input of light into her seemed to have worked, at least for the moment. Matt watched her carefully as he walked behind her, dressed in all black jeans and Live For The Moment tee. He felt more than slightly paranoid now about her, protective almost after what had happened. She was his girlfriend so it was part of his job to protect her. Mark nodded to them but said nothing. They sat down, waiting in awkward tense silence for the others to arrive. In a flurry of noise, Jeff burst through the door, dragging Trish along behind him by the hand. Mark raised an eyebrow at them causing Jeff to hastily sit down and pull Trish onto his lap.

"Sara's gone" Mark said without any introduction "I think we all know where to, she's got this crazy idea that she can beat my twin because she has the opposite powers, but the strength my sister holds is phenomenal, look what happened when she and Sara fought last time? It brought a damn house down"

"Um... Mark surely Sara going's a good thing" Amy said quietly "she's got the best chance out of all of us of having some effect on that psycho, no one else got to her like Sara did"

For a few minutes, Mark's steely gaze penetrated Amy. She stared back; she felt like she'd been to hell and back or there abouts for the past few days and wasn't going to start backing down now. Matt squeezed her arm slightly. He wasn't sure it was such a good idea to cross Mark when his wife had disappeared. Finally Mark nodded slowly

"Maybe Miss Amy but she might not survive and personally speaking, I'm not ready for that to happen" he turned so that he was addressing the whole room "I say we go try to find her then we can at least keep Eternal and Reckless out of the way, I can at least try to help her"

"Only she might think you're Jezebel and try to kill you" Jeff helpfully pointed out

"Not if she sees me" Mark snapped back "let's go"

Without another word, he marched out of the door. Amy hopped to her feet and headed out immediately, Matt following close after. Trish grinned down at Jeff, kissed him and got to her feet, extending her hand to him. Jeff took it and together they followed the others.

Lita had to practically run to keep with Mark, the pace that he was walking at. The anger on his face could melt a glacier. Breathlessly, Lita tried to keep up with him before finally halting, causing Matt to run into her. She grabbed Mark's arm, bringing him to a stop

"Mark, what the hell are we gonna do when we get there?" she puffed out "at the pace you're going we'll be too out of breath to do anything"

"We can't do what we did last time, they were waiting for us" Jeff piped up, remembering the sneak basement attack he'd suffered

"And we can't just storm in there" Trish added

"Then I guess I don't know" replied Mark finally after a short charged pause "but we're going to have to think of something because I am not ready to lose Sara yet and unless we do something tonight to help her with this crazy idea of her's, that might happen"

Her senses had led her to a large warehouse, her fingertips glowing more and more strongly as she neared it. It had been some sort of canned product factory judging by the crumbling letters painted in thick white paint on the side. Sara swallowed slightly. She didn't know what she was going to do. All she knew was that when her powers and Jezebel's collided, something had happened. Something so cosmically powerful that the building they'd stood in had been shaken to its very foundations and had fallen to the ground brick by brick around them. This was the only way to rid themselves of Jezebel before she destroyed Mark's life and the lives of those around him. She nodded and began walking towards the building. She was dressed simply in faded blue jeans were clung tightly to her hips and a sleeveless black top. Nothing fancy, something she could easily move around in. She concentrated and her hands glowed even more strongly. Then as quickly as they'd begun, they shut off. She had control, she could do this. She just had to have some faith, go in there and do what she had to do

"If only it was as easy as that" she groaned softly

"Yes if only" another voice chimed in

Instinctively, Sara ducked and a long leg hit the brick wall behind her. Sara reached and grabbed the leg, causing the person to fall to the ground suddenly.

"Hello Eternal" she said coolly, keeping hold of the leg "you're going to take me to Jezebel"

"Planning a little ambush were you? Where's your husband? Waiting round the corner with those Hardy losers and their two bitches?" Eternal sneered from her sprawled position on the ground

"Just me. Alone" Sara replied, her eyes never leaving Eternal's pretty face

"You're more stupid than I thought" laughed Eternal with delight "Yeah I'll take you there"

"Unfortunately, I don't trust you"

"Well learnt"

Suddenly Eternal swung her other leg round, smacking Sara hard in the back of her knee. Sara dropped the other leg in surprise and found herself hitting the deck as Eternal kicked her in the legs with both powerful legs. Those legs crashed into her again, hitting her hard in the back, stomach, legs, head. Anyway they could hurt her they did. Sara didn't have enough time to hit Eternal hard with light. Instead she forced her fingers to glow through the pain and then shot them towards Eternal, letting off little jets of light. It was enough to send Eternal screaming backwards, her hands covering her eyes. Sara crawled coughing as far away as she could before stumbling to her feet. To get to Jezebel, she had to get past Eternal. Things were going to be hard. Maybe she should have woken Mark up. Then at least someone would have been here to get rid of the distractions for her.

Judging the distance carefully with her eyes, Sara ran towards Eternal and launched herself into a dropkick. She hit Eternal square in the gut, powering her backwards to the ground. She had to keep things under control. Slowly she approached Eternal, knowing that at any moment, the creature would leap to its feet with a spinning heel kick. She fired several light balls over her, covering her in shimmering sparks which made the shadow scream in agony. It wasn't going to keep her down for long. Sara kicked her hard in the gut when a hand grabbed her and wouldn't let go with limpet- like fury. Eternal wasn't easy to get rid of by any means. She grabbed both of Sara's ankles and flipped her to the floor with cat-like ease. Sara kicked back as hard as she could to stall for time but Eternal seemed to know her moves and mounted her, beginning to throw hard rights at her before grabbing her around the waist, lifting her into the air with apparently no effort and throwing her hard over her shoulder.

Sara lay down groaning. She had to get to Jezebel with a full run of power. Otherwise, who knew what would happen at each Raw? Mark, Amy, Matt, Jeff, Trish. Each of them would be targeted with practiced sadistical ease until everyone was broken and insane. But she knew she had to do this. Maybe she should have got some help after all

"How are we gonna know where Sara is?" asked Trish practically as she settled into the back seat, one hand intertwined with Jeff's

"And how is Sara finding where the others are anyway?" asked Matt

Mark sat back for a second and thought about it carefully. Slowly his thoughts jigsaw-puzzled themselves into place and he turned to the others

"Sara's got the opposite power to me and my twin right? Well maybe she can tell where they are by that, she can sense the power because it reacts to her own, makes her glow or something I don't know"

"Which means you should be able to find them since you have the opposite power to Sara" finished Jeff, beginning to smile

"That's right boy and we have to get this on the road" Mark added

He started the truck and pulled out from the hotel parking lot. As he concentrated hard on the road and being able to sense Sara's power so he could warn his passengers in case he got out of control, he didn't hear Amy whisper so that the others could hear her

"Now we've just got to figure out how to destroy Jezebel without getting killed ourselves, whoever said our lives were boring?"
