Callisto sighed and put the weights set down. She grabbed a towel and
pressed it agaisnt her sweaty face. Training had helped her clear her mind
from her dad, lying in hospital. Uncle Mark had promised he would drive
them to see him tonight. But she still wished she would have been able to
spendher entire days with her dad, or at least if Maeve would have drove
her there during the day. At least, Kane had woke up now and the doctors
didn't feared for his life anymore. Still, the past week had been horrible
on her nerves. Between Maeve and Kane beeing in the hospital, she had been
worried sick. Maeve was back home now, she had almost completely recovered,
she was only feeling dizzy at times and weaknesses.
It was weird to think about it, but it had seem that it was Maeve who had been able to wake up Kane. Maeve, Callisto and John had paid a visit to Kane the day Maeve was finally released. John was helping her stood up and Callisto was trying to hold back her tears. The sight of Kane, eyes closed, lying there so vulnerable, was too much for her. But Maeve had wiped up her own tears and put a hand on her Godfather's forehead. She had turned to face her cousin, a faint smile on her face. " He's going to make it cuzzie! We can wake him up now, but I need your help, both of you" She had whispered in a broken voice. She had asked John to close the door and motionned to Callisto to move to the opposite side of the bed, holding one of her father's hand.
She had took his right one, handing her left hand to her cousin. John had then took place behind Maeve, both hands on her shoulders, staring silently at the girls. Maeve had closed her eyes and she had begun to chant in an ancient form of language Calli had never heard of before. She had felt warmth ran through her hand, running through her entire body and going back into Kane's. Before she could make a sound or a move, she felt like her dad had grasped her hand. maeve had stopped chanting and opened her eyes, letting go of Calli's hand. She leaned agaisnt John, letting out a sigh of relief when she saw Kane opening his eyes and grasping his daughter's hand. Callisto had sat on the bed, kissing her dad's hands, that she had wrapped in her own. John and Mave and silently got out, leaving her with her father, going to warn the doctors of the good news.
Yes, now Kane was doing better, but he still had to remain in the hospital for a few weeks. Mark had insisted that she come and leave with him and Maeve. But Callisto hardly saw maeve anymore. her cousin had changed since she was back. She spent hours locked inside her room and she barely spoke anymore. the only times she did speak, it was in those harsh, broken whispers, like her voice had died. She refused to see anyone, leaving Callisto alone to greet all the guests that were stopping by or calling about Kane.
Eddie had called earlier, he was worrying about Maeve too. He had never saw her like that ever. He had even proposed to come down the house and cook Maeve's favorite recipe. What was it called? Eddie always made fun about that food, it had a strange name and it was Quebec City's specialty, french fries, gravy sauce and cheese. Poutan? Poulane? Yes, it was called POUTINE! A french word that sounded funny.
But Eddie hadn't called to talk about Poutine, he had called to talk about more important stuff. He told Calli about Brock and Show's devastating reign on Smackdown. They were beating the life out of everyone they thought were in their way. yesterday night, they had a match agaisnt Taker, Eddie and John, helped by JBL. Show, Lesnar and JBL won, that showed pretty much how powerful they had became. But Eddie also pointed something that Callisto had noticed on TV too. The fact that John Cena's mind was not in the ring anymore. Big Show kept taunting him, backstage and in the ring, about ShadowLady. the girl he loved refused to talk to him, she would not return one of his phone calls. Maeve was acting very strangely and they all needed her right now.
They needed to figure out who would replace Kane in their upcoming match in only two weeks now. Maeve had asked Paul to put her on the injuried list until the PPv, but Callisot knew better. Maeve was not injuried anymore. She was often swimming laps in the pool, training in the gym downstairs and also fighting in the giant rond room full of weapons she called her " Halls of War". No, Maeve was not hurt, but she was bothered by something. And Callisto was sick and tired of waiting, she wanted to help her cousin, she wanted to find her best friend back, but she wouldn't let her.
Callisto lost track of her thoughts when the door bell rang. Who was it this time? Like Maeve, callisto didn't feel at all like seeing people today. But she changed her mind when she faced a very upset John Cena outside the door. If someone else was worrying about Maeve and could help her, it was him. Callisto had never cared about John before he went out with Maeve. She hardly knew him, but she had discovered how truly amazing he was. He was not as arrogant or self-centered as he could seem on TV. And since the fatidic night at the hospital, they had grew even closer. He came in and hugged her. " is there anything new Calli?" " No, I haven't seen her all day and when I knocked at her door, she didn't answered. I'm going out of my mind John. I feel so alone."
He sighed and brushed away the tear that was running down her face, so similar to Maeve's. He knew very well how she felt at the moment. But at least she didn't had an angry Undertaker on her back. He did! Mark wasn't talking to him, and John could felt his angry gaze on him all the time. He understood why though. Mark thought everything was John's fault. If Maeve hadn't came to help him in the first place at Wrestlemania, she would have never suffered from Big Show's attack. But he didn't felt guilty anymore, he knew no one would have been able to stop Maeve to came down if she had decided to. But Mark was very protective over his daughter, it was normal, he hadn't seen her in nearly fifteen years!
They decided it was time to get Maeve out from her dark state of mind, no matter what. They were ready to fight her, ready to take down the door of her room if they had to. But when they got to the stairs, someone knocked on the door. Callisto frowned, enough with the damn door. She went to answer " WHAT NOW?" but she blushed when she saw who it was. Jeff Hardy!! She jumped in his arms, so happy to see him.
" Jeff! What a nice surprise! I'm so glad you decided to come and see me." " Well, it's nice to see you too Calli, but believe me I had no idea that you were here. Maeve called me this morning and she begged me not to sign a contract with that other wrestling federation. She said she had an offer I couldn't turn down."
Callisto looked slightly taken aback and John roared, facing Jeff.
" What are you saying Hardy? My girl called you and made you an offer?" Jeff took a step back and laughed at John. " Calm down Cena!! I meant a business proposition, don't you know by now I'm not the type of guy to steal girls from my mates? Besides, I'm not on the market for a girlfriend, there is a friend of mine I need to seduce into that state...." He winked at Callisto who smiled back at him, her heart racing.
After everything had been cleared up, they went upstairs. Maeve would probably be willing to see them now. If she had called Jeff, it was a sign that her fighting spirit was up. But still, she didn't answered the door. They exchanged a look, and kicked the door in the same time. It fell down and they entered the room. Maeve wasn't there though. But Callisto had a very shrek idea where to find her. In the Halls Of War.
They went over Maeve's training room and pushed the door opened. There were candles evrywhere, the only lights in the room. There was very loud music playing, John grinned proudly, it was his freestyle. Maeve was standing in the middle of the room, two swords in her hands. She was fighting an invisible enemy with them, moving fast to the rythmn of the music. She had such a grace but such a fury too. They all held their breaths, staring at her. The image of the girl, with her black low waist pants, a white halter top and her hair braided, fighting with all her might was very powerful. They looked back at each other, and John pressed Callisto's hands, thinking the same she did. ShadowLady was back, and she was ready to fight for her life.......
