Chapter 16

Lita panted, gripping the cell phone. She had managed to slip away from Matt in the water, and climb to his car. The keys, as she had hoped, were not in sight, but his phone was. The redhead's breath came in ragged breaths. She was leaning against the open door to the truck for support, the light from the truck and the lantern spilling over her.

Her eyes widened as she saw Matt stumbling up the slope, his eyes seeming to sparkle in the night. "He's going to kill me," she said into her voice, her voice high. Somewhere in the back of her mind she knew she was panicking, but at the moment she couldn't fix it.

"Who, Lita?" Chris Benoit asked, his voice stressed.

Lita felt tears move down her wet face. "Matt," she whispered. She knew she should move out of sight, but her limbs were frozen in place.

"Listen to me Li, calm down," Benoit's voice came to her. "We're on our way to save you. We're with Edge. You have to tell me where you are." Lita was silent, petrified as Matt cleared the slope, his eyes on her. "Where are you?" It took her a moment to answer Benoit's question.

"By a lake," she told him, feeling the fear seize up inside of her as Matt neared. "On a slope," she added, petrified. Matt stepped toward the trunk of the truck. Lita dropped the phone into the pocket of her thin jacket.

"Lita! Lita!" she could hear Chris's voice over the phone. The redhead suddenly bolted, running around to the front of the car. Matt leapt for her, grabbing her jacket sleeve and throwing her into the ground. He straddled her, holding her shoulders to the ground. Her eyes were filled with fear as she looked up at him. Lita's fingers clawed at the mud as Matt spoke.

"You're going to regret doing that," he told her.

Matt lifted his hand off of her shoulder, aiming to strike her, but she moved faster than he. Lita threw her handful of mud into his eyes, managed a kick to his midsection, and then slithered from beneath him. She stumbled, the hood of the car catching her. Her legs were so wobbly; she could hardly stand. From nearby she could hear Matt's enraged yells approaching. Tears of desperation fell down her face. She pushed off from the truck, aiming to run, but Matt caught her from the waist, throwing her backward into the car, her lower back hitting one of the headlights with a shattering noise.

Lita let out a cry, sinking to the ground. He grabbed her by the hair, dragging her right back up. "Matt! Your plan isn't going to work. Benoit, Edge, the captain... They're all on their way," she informed him, and he just chuckled, pressing a finger to her lips.

"Benoit's dead!" Matt screamed out suddenly. "Dean was supposed to kill him!"

Lita shook her head, nearly snarling at her former beau. "No, Matt. Benoit is alive and well, and he's coming here to kick your ass."

Matt took a moment to visibly calm down. When he spoke again, there was a sing-song quality to his voice. "Lita, Lita, Lita," he cocked his head. "The more people you bring into this, the more people die." He laughed again as she tensed beneath him. "Yeah, that's right Lita. Let's see," he paused, moving his hand from her face, her back still against the hood of the car. "Edge and Moceri tried desperately to save you, but they got caught under the car. Benoit went mad, seeing you die, and killed himself," Matt shrugged. "It all works out in the end, you see. Karma's a bitch."

"Yeah, it is," she wheezed out, "Which is why you're going to get arrested in five minutes."

Matt laughed loudly. "Do you really think they'll find this place in time to save you, Lita? Though, I think it would be quite dramatic. Perhaps I should kill them all one by one, and save you for last, eh, sweets?" he chuckled.

"Go to hell," Lita spat out, trying to hide the shakiness in her voice. Had she really led the three to their deaths? The redhead shook her head, trying not to believe it, but at the same time tears filled her eyes again. God, if Edge or Moceri died because of her... If Benoit... A sharp pain stabbed her emotions at the thought, and she mentally forced herself to look toward the current situation.

She tried to run once more. Matt grabbed her by the head, and pulled her to him. Deliberately, and forcefully, he slammed her forehead onto the car hood. Lita sprung back from the impact, splashing into the puddles on the ground. Matt picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder.

Lita, dazed but terrorized, slammed her hands against his back, kicking and struggling for all she was worth as well. The redhead elbowed Matt in the back of the neck, but he barely budged, carefully going down the hill. When they reached her car, Matt threw her in the driver's seat.

Blood ran down her face, her eyes blinded by a mix of salty tears and it. Words failed her. She struggled to get out, but Matt's bulky form was wedged in the only open space of the door. He was wedging something on the gas pedal. She tried to kick it out, but Matt just grabbed her and pushed her into the passenger seat, her head smacking against the window. Matt stared at her for a few moments, a malicious grin on his face. Slowly, he changed the gear from park, lifting the emergency brake as he did so.

Lita's scream echoed over the lake as her car splashed inward past the quick drop off, and began to sink, the current slowly carrying the car further and further into the middle of the lake.

On the shore, a sick grin on his face, Matt Hardy simply watched.
