Flames and Hearts Chap 2
Lita walked backstage toward the diva locker room. She had her newly won women's championship over her shoulder, and a smile on her lips that nothing could remove, well almost nothing. Standing outside the women's locker room was one of her best friends, Jeff, who she had not spoken to in quite some time. Taking a running start she tackled him to the ground.
"Jeff I missed you so much."
"Whoa calm down its not like we haven't talked to each other in forever."
Lita playfully hit him upside the head. "So what brings you back to Raw?"
"I came to see the new women's champion." Jeff smiled at her. "And… To talk to Vince."
"Why?"
"We want to put team extreme back together."
"We?"
"Yeah me and Matt, and of course you."
"Jeff, I can't, not with Matt."
"But Li, we could be happy. One big family again."
"I'm sorry Jeff I just can't put my self through that hell again."
"You two got together again not to long ago what happened, you two were talking marriage."
Lita smiled slightly at her always confused friend. "Jeff your living in the past, the rest of the world moved on when you left. Just because you decided to try your hand at wrestling again doesn't mean the world picks up when you left it. Besides I am happy the way I am."
"With Kane?"
Laughing, "Why does everyone have a problem with me finally being happy with Kane?"
Lita stood up and slid the championship belt back over her shoulder.
"Jeff you can go back to Matt and live in the past but I'm not coming." She extended a hand to help him up, "Maybe you will catch up and realize Matt isn't worth the dirt on my shoes."
Lita hurried in to the locker room leaving an even more confused Jeff on the other side of the door. She quickly dressed in ring attire, and applied some make-up to her face. She laced up her boots and placed her title over her shoulder. She left the room making her way to the curtain where Kane waited for her. Tonight they were taking on Trish and Snitsky. Kane's music hit and the couple stepped out to the crowds cheering. The cheers slowly died when Trish and Snitsky walked out. The fans now taunted Trish with slut chants before she could even get inside the ring.
The match was going as well as expected, until Snitsky grabbed Lita by the hair and pulled her out of the ring. Kane lay near by still under the effects of earlier attack, had yet to realize what was about to happen to Lita, till it was to late. Snitsky chased Lillian from her chair, then folded it up and brought it down on the back of Lita's neck, pulling it back he then brought it down uponher back. Lita closed her eyes as she fell onto the steel steps with a sickening thud. Her eyes clouded over as the pain took over her, slowly she slipped unconsciousness. The last thing she saw was Kane struggling to reach her.
Kane witnessed Lita falling on to the stairs and being knocked out cold, but before he could reach her Snitsky grabbed a hold of her. He slammed her down on to the stairs with such force that Kane could almost hear the ribs of his helpless wife cracking. Kane cringed as he slowly rose to his knees. The anger began to build along with tears of guilt, for not protecting her from Snitsky. Closing his eyes, to blink back the tears that threatened to fall, he remembered the pain this man caused him and Lita. He opened his eyes and all he saw was red. The emotion that he desperately tried to lock away, the one he promised himself never to let out again to make sure the past would not repeat itself, had found the key to the lock. This pure hatred took Kane by surprise along with the strong urge to decapitate Snitsky and beat him to a bloody pulp. His hands found their way to Snitsky's neck and he began to choke the life out of the man. Kane released him and took the discarded chair from the floor and started smashing it into Snitsky's face, over, and over. It took a dozen refs. and a few brave wrestlers to restrain Kane.
Carefully Snitsky was carried backstage away from a wrestler now on a short circuit. A medical team now was lifting Lita on to a stretcher, she laid there still unconscious. Now Kane couldn't stop the tears that trailed down his cheek. He watched for a sign of life, while he thought of how much the red head meant to him. Then it happened… Lita's hand rose toward him. "Kane?"
