What Once was Lost.
Prologue
Brock Lesnar paced the length of the
lockerroom he and Edge had been sharing that night, concern on his young face.
He looked at his tag team partner, Rhyno who was sitting on a table with
concern also etched on his face, his arm around a crying redhead.
Lita couldn't help her sobs as concern for
Edge came out in a flood. Though not many knew of her and the blonde
Canadian's romantic relationship, they hadn't bothered to hide it either.
When she saw Edge lying in the middle of those cardboard boxes, her co -
commentator on HEAT, Jonathan Coachman had see that she was about to breakdown
and ushered her quickly down to the SMACKDOWN side of the backstage area and
slipped her into the lockerroom Edge, Rhyno, and Brock were sharing that night.
She'd gone to the table and started to sob and stayed there eversince.
"Dammit, where is she?"
Brock ground out looking like he was about ready to explode.
"Calm down, Brock," Christian
spoke up, trying to placate the huge man. Although he and Edge had their
problems over the last year and a half before the younger Canadian had jumped
to now ex - RAW GM Eric Bischoff's show six months ago, he still cared for his
brother. "Stephanie said that she'd tell us as soon as she knew
anything."
Stephanie McMahon, the GM of SMACKDOWN and
now GM of both shows in the wake of Eric Bischoff's firing had accompanied the
stretcher carrying Edge to a nearby ambulance. She told the group that
she would try to keep in touch with the hospital and would let them know as
soon as she heard anything about Edge's condition.
"Interesting group of people in
here," Rey Mysterio piped up trying to ease the tension in the lockerroom.
Indeed it was a most unusual group of friends and enemies that were in
the lockerroom awaiting word on the tall Canadian's condition. Besides
Brock, Rhyno, Lita, Rey and Christian, Hulk Hogan, who'd taken to the role of
Edge's mentor in the last few months, Lita's close friends Trish Stratus, and
Jeff Hardy were also in there.
Brock turned around to glare at the lucha
wrestler - and saw Stephanie McMahon in the doorway.
Brock was shocked at his boss' appearance.
Her newly cut hair was disheveled, as was her business suit. Her
blue - green eyes were red rimmed from crying. Brock knew it was bad
news.
"How bad is it?" Brock asked the
unaccustomed emotion of fear sitting in the #1 contender for the WWF
Championship's stomach. Stephanie's stricken appearance did nothing to
assuage that pit of fear.
"Stephanie?" Hogan also afraid of
the tall brunette's answer but knowing that she eventually had to say what
Edge's fate was.
The WWF General Manager looked around the
room with a look of grief in her eyes. Her anguished expression landed on
the equally anguished redhead's face. Her next action and words broke
Lita's heart completely.
"I'm sorry," the youngest McMahon
said brokenly, shaking her head, a new wave of tears beginning to fall.
"Edge didn't make it."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Lita screamed suddenly, Rhyno holding her tighter.
"No," Christian shook his head,
pale at Stephanie's announcement. "YOUR LYING! HE'S NOT DEAD!
MY BROTHER CAN'T BE DEAD! HE CAN'T BE!" Christian ran out of the
lockerroom. Trish Stratus went after him.
All those remaining in the lockerroom where
quiet, lost in their own grief and sadness. The only sound heard were the
wails that symbolized Lita's shattered soul.
So? Love it? Hate it? Please let me know. Chapter One should
be out soon.
