A/N: A Cookie to Angelscribe!!! It wasn't really -that- big of a hidden message, but still! -gives the magic Cookie!- -Cookie changes colors- -crowd goes 'Ooooo'- Sorry, for the long delay between chapters, but to make up for it (and because this chapter, while it is important, is very short) I shall put up the new chapter quickly! -gets whips out- Yah slave Yah! -Raven muse perks up at mention of whips- Sigh. Somethings never change. ^^ Rock on!
Chapter 5
Edge couldn't help but stare at her. If she was awake, she would have blushed at him and tell him to stop, but he couldn't. She was so small and fragile looking. Instead of disgusting him, it only strengthen his resolve to protect her.
He did something he had rarely done in a long time. A year at the most. He prayed.
-God, I know I haven't really spoken to you since... Christian... Since my own flesh and blood turned on me, and I became a madman... You couldn't protect me. 26 years of not seeing his real thoughts, 26 years of living a lie. Instead of helping me, and letting me see, you just turned on me like he did. You could have stopped him, or warned me.
But, that's for another time. You didn't protect me, but please, God, protect her.
I know Stephanie may not have been the greatest person in her past. But, that's what that is, the past. Just like me and my -- Christian... The past. She's better now. You've seen her! She's gotten better! Once she realized her mistake with Hunter she became different. She changed. At first for him, and then, later for herself.
If Lita could forgive me for all the rotten and bad things I did to her in the past, then surely, you could forgive Stephanie!-
Kurt was still in shock. This rough and tough woman who he had fallen in love with years ago, she was so young and defenseless looking. It felt odd to Kurt, that someone so tough could look so fragile, just by one, well really three, men. It boggled his mind. He still remembered the first day he and Stephanie met. He had felt connected to her even then.
-"Hi, I'm--"
"Kurt. Yes, we know."
"We?"
"Well, Hunter and I. We've had our eye on you for the longest time. We'd like to remind you that the WWF is nothing like the other promotion that you saw, ECW. We don't literally crucify people from the rafters. That would be inhumane. We crucify them out in the ring."
She had seemed like such a bitch, but once Hunter left her side... Probably to go have one of his famous 30 minute 'talks' with Chyna.... She let out a breath, and her face instantly soften. She looked so beautiful.
"Hi. Sorry about that Kurt. Don't think I have some sort of Jerkly/Hyde syndrome. I just have to act like that around him. He gets insanely jealous if I seem interested in men." I remember how taken back I felt, and must have looked. "Oh! Not like that! Not that I don't find you handsome in a nice youthful kinda way, but you know.... He's a very jealous husband."
When she said that word. That damn 'H' word, besides his name. Not just 'Hunter' but 'husband' too. I felt my heart break into a thousand pieces...and then she said, "but that doesn't mean we can't be friends."
And he had stuck by her since then. If it wasn't for her, he would have never joined the Alliance, he would have never had enough guts to try out and win King Of The Ring.... It was all her. And now look at her.-
Benoit was still angry at himself.
-It's all my fault. If I had been there...- Benoit shook his head, and he tried, desperately, to get the thoughts out of his head -Poor Stephanie...- He rubbed his eyes, before he could let his unshed tears be seen. -Rabid Wolverine's never show emotion.... Let alone cry in front of their coworkers and enemy.-
