Moments in The Past

Disclaimer/Author's Notes: The only character I own is Savannah "Annie" Senneth. I have been ragged on by a friend to get my first fan fiction posted. So, here it is. I hope you're finally happy, TxReaper. I know I've changed my mind so many times. But, I finally chose the piece I would like to post first. I think you can relate to me on this. Oh, for the rest of you, this fan fiction is inspired by very recent events in my life. Hope you enjoy!


"Am I crazy for doing this? Ann? Earth to Annie?"

"What! Oh, I'm sorry Amy. I just haven't been feeling well."

"Are we back to that again? I'm not being rude here, Annie. What happened to you was nine years ago. You have a different life away from them. Everything you've worked so hard for is right here in front of you. It had nothing to do with them. We all have secrets we keep from the world. The one that you hold right now is one of them. That is by your choice and yours alone."

"Amy, something just doesn't feel right. It may not be them giving me this strange vibe. I know someone around here is. I've had these flashbacks before. But nothing as strong as what I feel at this very moment."

"Well, maybe you're just in love with a certain RAW superstar. I'm going to get some coffee, wanna come?"

"Ha freakin ha! You're not helping a whole lot here, Lita."

"Oh, just deal with it, Savannah! See you later."

Amy left the locker room. Which left Annie alone to ponder her haunting thoughts. Being through hell and back wasn't a piece of cake. It took a lot to rebuild what was once lost to her. Could she really expose her secret to the world? It had already made her feel awkward throughout her teenage years.

"C'mon Anna! It'll be fun. You won't get hurt. I promise you."

"I'm not going to that party. What the hell makes you think I trust you? You're promises mean nothing to me. I'm friends with your girlfriend, Rebecca only. Besides, I'll be busy that night."

"I'm making an effort here to be your friend. I know I've done horrible things to you in the past."

" Horrible things? Why don't you try unforgivable things? I've tried to get past those things. But you make it impossible for that to happen. I'm done with this conversation. Good-bye Adam."

Before Annie could leave, Adam grabbed her arm. She turned and glared at him. He began to tighten his grip on her. Her knees began to go weak and she collapsed to the ground. Annie screamed out in pain but no one heard her.

"Let me go, Adam! You're hurting me! Please let me go. I've done nothing wrong. What is that you want, Adam?"

"What I want is your little boyfriend off my back. Jason has been a little too suspicious of me."

"Well, I wouldn't doubt his suspicions. He's always seems to be right. If Jason think you're a monster then..."

Before Annie could continue, Adam slapped her. She was bit shaken by his actions. Annie looked up at him and he was smiling.

"Do it again! I dare you! Is that supposed to scare me? Or is it to prove a point? What exactly is your point?"

Adam grabbed her by the neck and threw the rest of her body to the ground. He started to choke her. Annie could feel herself losing consciousness.

"Listen very carefully little girl! You could die right here and I wouldn't even shed one tear. Whatever Jason said about me was true. Just remember this, everything you love or hold dear will die a painful and horrible death. And the last to die is you. I'll kill you when you least expect it. When your fear rises past the breaking point, you'll be 6 ft. under in an unmarked grave."

"..."

Annie slipped in and out of consciousness. Many thoughts raced thoughts her mind. In a moment where she felt she was dead, Annie heard a voice. The voice was screaming for her to wake up. As she awoke, it was from a blood-curdling scream. Annie began to hyperventilate. It was anyone guess what she dreamt about. Someone grabbed her, he was trying to comfort her. All she could do is shake at that point.

"Calm down, Annie. I'm here and no one will ever hurt you. I promise."

The voice belonged to Chris Jericho. He was the most important thing in her life. Although they were just friends, the attraction between couldn't help but grow. After a while, Annie began to return to her normal self. Chris grabbed her a water bottle. She took it and remained silent.

"You know you have to speak to me sometime. Whatever happened in your nightmare, it can't hurt you now. I was just a dream, Annie."

"It wasn't just a dream. It was real at one moment. You can't change that no matter how hard you try. I can't tell you. I can't get close to you. If I do, you'll..."

"Annie, I'll what? C'mon Annie, this isn't fair."

"Fair? Life's not fair, Chris. We all have problems we have to deal with on our own. Without any interference from anyone else. Just get out! You can't help me.."

"I want to try. Whatever it is, I can handle it. I'm not leaving."

"Ha! That's a laughable thought. You can't handle it. Chris Jericho, take my advice and leave right now. At least, I know you'll be safe."

He kissed her on the cheek as he left. Annie didn't even give him a second look. She collapsed to the floor and sobbed her eyes out.
