Chapter 5

"And it's good, Eve Hall gets the three count over Ivory in her impressive debut." J.R. announced as Eve picked up the win in her first match.

Any moment now Shawn Michaels was supposed to come down and announce to the world about their faction, the group that was the puppets to the nWo's puppeteers. Eve wasn't about to let that happen, no one was going to ruin the glory she had just gotten, the feeling of exhilaration that passed through her, especially not Shawn Michaels with his little games. She rolled out of the ring and started up the ramp with all hopes of getting to the back before Shawn could make his appearance, luck was with her. Eve got through the curtains just as he was preparing to go down.

Shawn looked at her for a second, anger little apparent. "You were supposed to stay down there."

Eve shrugged and smiled at him. "Sorry Shawn, I forgot." She went to go past him but he grabbed her arm.

"Don't mess with me Eve." He warned her. "Your father might be pulling the strings, but you're definitely not irreplaceable."

She yanked her arm back. "Fine, if you don't want me, I'll go join Evolution, I'm sure Hunter won't mind."

"The hell you will." Shawn told her. "You're in my charge-"

"So everyone keeps saying." Eve replied. "Has anyone yet to realise that I'm years into my twenties and are fairly capable of handling my own affairs?"

"You're father-"

"Yes, I realise my father put you in charge of me, well I put you out of charge of me if all you're going to do is stand around telling me what I can and can not do in this company and worse, who I can and can not talk to." Eve flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Now, if you excuse me, I'd like to go have a shower and dress in my street clothes, that is, if I have your permission."

Shawn gritted his teeth. "Just go, I have to call Scott anyway and fix your little stunt. This is why you need someone in charge of you."

"Oh go fall off your high mountain." Eve told him and stalked off.

Shawn sighed and pulled out his cell phone, dialling the Florida number he didn't notice the camera that sidled up next to him, intent on capturing his conversation for all to hear.

"Hey Scott, did you see that?" Shawn asked, his back to the camera.

"What the hell is she doing?" Scott replied. "I thought you told her the plan?"

"She forgot, or so she says." Shawn replied. "We need a new plan, our previous one of introducing the company to it's annihilation isn't going to happen now."

A silence filled the air for a few seconds as Scott thinks. "Well, it's simple really, we just push the plan up a little. Take out Evolution tonight."

"How do you propose we do that?" Shawn asked.

"Triple H and Ric Flair are tagging against the Dudley's tonight, correct?"

"Correct."

"After the match, come down and attack Evolution, it'll secure you as a group in the company plus show your goals to take out some of their highest paid performers." Scott reasoned.

"Scott, man, you're a genius." Shawn praised him. "Tonight, Evolution's going to get a huge surprise."

"That was my plan after all." Scott said. "Have fun Shawn, and keep Eve in line."

"Will do." With that the connection was broken and the camera cut off, the damage already being done.

Eve plopped down on the couch in her locker room, having just dressed after her shower. She was planning to watch the rest of the show in peace, that's when she saw the small replay of Shawn's conversation just fifteen minutes earlier. "I don't even get a choice…" She murmured, stunned. Anything she had wanted to achieve in this company was now destroyed, all her goals and hopes, all because of one phone conversation. She would now be looked at as no more then an extension of the nWo and a poison to the company, but that was what she was brought in for anyway, maybe she didn't want that anymore. An outsider, just like her father, his legacy was passed to her, his legacy and his reputation, no matter what she did now, that would always follow her and she would be little trusted by anyone.

"Do you like playing people?" A furious Triple H slammed into her locker room, surprising Eve to her feet. "Was that your plan? Play nice then jump me?"

Eve recovered fast from her surprise. "I was hardly playing nice, Hunter, I was merely being myself."

"And that self also joins Shawn in group attacks now?" Hunter asked.

"Please, if I want to attack anyone, I'll do it on my own, I don't need Shawn or anyone else to back me." Eve stated.

"That's not what I heard. Seems you're just a piece in a puzzle created by your father." He said. "No more important then a body to take damage for them."

"My father likes to control things, it's his way." Eve shrugged. "My job is just to follow orders." It hurt just to say it.

"Is it his way to also turn his back on his friends?" Hunter asked, still fuming.

"Actually, yes, it is his way to turn his back on people who trusted him." She said.

"But yet you still follow orders." He stated. "You told me earlier that all I was doing was waiting to be pushed off the mountain, did you ever think that maybe all you're waiting to be is pushed from the family?"

"You say right things at wrong times." She replied through gritted teeth. "If you think I haven't once thought about if he's only waiting to screw me over, you'd be wrong. A lot of things are in question about him in my mind."

"So why do you follow him?" Hunter asked, feeling less angry as time goes on, she really has no choice or feels like she doesn't.

"I don't know." She threw up her hands in frustration and sat back down. "Because I've done it all my life. Because I'm expected to. What do you want to hear? I knew about his plan and I agreed to it."

"But do you like his plan?" He asked after a short hesitation. "Is it what you want?"

"I don't like having the tables turned on me." Eve glared at him, at his confused look she continued. "I was asking questions earlier that you didn't like, now you're asking questions that I don't like, we're even, get out."

"Huh?" He replied, trying to follow. "I have to leave? What if I just stop asking questions?"

Eve got to her feet and started walking towards the door, when she got there she turned back around. "Fine, stay then, I'll leave, I have to go find Shawn anyway." With that the door shut behind her.
