Author's notes: Not many this chapter, except in your reviews from now on I'd please request that you write down either Jeff or Randy at the end. You only have to write it once, so that way it won't be a bother. Thanks much. Oh, another note. As with wrestling, there are times when you're on camera, and times when you're off. I'm going to indicate what is on and off camera from now on. Enjoy this chapter!
On CameraCallisto and Maeve walked back to their locker room with Jeff holding hands with Callisto. Maeve, of course wasn't really sure that Callisto was doing the right thing, but she had faith that Callisto would do the right thing in the end. They arrived at the locker room with Randy standing in front of it.
"So this is the way it's going to be, huh? Well, whatever. If you want the jackass, then it's fine with me. But just remember this, Callisto. I wasn't the one who almost killed you." Randy gave a glare at Jeff, and walked past them. Jeff glared in return, but then looked over at Callisto. He saw her start to tear, and before he could speak, she ran off. Jeff was about to go after her, when Maeve grabbed his arm.
"She needs time by herself. It'll be okay." If only she knew how wrong she was.
----------------------------The next Raw--------------------------------
Jeff looked around the arena once again. Where was she? Callisto ran off, and didn't come back afterwards. When he went last week to check the parking lot, her car was gone. In all honesty, he was scared. Maeve, Glenn, and John were looking for her as well. He turned another corner and rammed into a woman.
"Whoa! Oh, I'm sorry! Jeff Hardy, right?"
It was Celine.
"Ya…Have you seen Callisto?"
Celine's eyes widened. "You haven't seen her either? Oh my god…No one knows where she is!"
As Jeff's match with Tyson Tomko was starting to go in Jeff's favor, the lights went out, and Callisto's music went on. The crowd cheered, and as the lights went back on, Jeff was looking at the ramp. Tomko was on the outside, so Jeff had a few moments. All of a sudden, a strange laugh was heard throughout the arena. And it wasn't Callisto's.
A man in a robber mask looked at the camera.
"Well, lover boy, isn't this a fun night? All except for one thing, ain't it? I can't see Callisto… Oh wait, that's because she's right here!"
The man moved out of the way and it showed Callisto in the back seat of an SUV, beaten up badly, tied up and gagged. She was unconscious, and the man laughed again.
"You see, lover boy, I've been paid by a very generous individual to kidnap and basically kill your girlfriend. Oh, I mean Ex-girlfriend. Now, I hope you have fond memories of each other, because this is the last time you'll ever see her. Because I'm being paid to make sure the casket stays closed…" The man laughed again, and he closed the door to the SUV.
"DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH HER YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITCH!" Jeff screamed, as he ran out of the ring and started to run up the ramp.
"Now, Lover boy, you've just signed her death certificate." The masked man locked the gas pedal, and made the car speed, right in the direction of an oil truck.
It only took seconds for the car to explode.
-----------Off Camera, One week before----------------
Callisto walked out of the arena, and out into the rain. While her own tears fell, the rain made more seem to fall down her cheeks.
Jeff…Randy… Both had made her heart lift up to the clouds, but she knew only one of them would actually be right for her. How to figure that out, would be interesting. She sat down at the front, and then heard footsteps. Callisto turned, and saw someone emerging out of the arena doors.
"Mom?" Celine nodded.
"I think we need to talk, Callisto." More tears fell, and Callisto shook her head.
"Not now, Mom. I have to go…I need to go think."
"You have a match tonight, remember?"
"I'll have to forfeit." Callisto didn't notice her mother walk down the steps closer to her.
"Look at me, Callisto." Callisto obeyed, and was greeted by a slap to her face. "That's not you speaking to me, it's the hurt talking. I know the real Callisto would do whatever she could do to concentrate on the match, and forget about her love life until the cameras stop rolling. Now, am I going to have to tell them that you forfeit, or are you going to face these people with a clear conscience?"
Callisto wiped her tears, and looked back at her mother with an expressionless face.
-------------------------------The Present Raw, On Camera----------------------
Jeff's tears had stained his face. He lie in his locker room, staring at the ceiling.
It's not possible…It can't be possible…
Callisto…You can't be gone…
Someone knocked at the door, and Jeff barely looked up.
"GO AWAY!" Whoever was knocking walked in anyways, and Jeff glared in the direction, but quickly his glare faded.
"Maeve!"
"I know in my heart that you had nothing to do with what just happened to Callie Bear, but I needed to know if you got this too. I guess you don't pay much attention to the messages waiting for you outside the door." She handed him a folded pack of papers, and he tore off the elastic band, sitting up.
"It's a doctors report…for Callisto! It says she's…oh god…" He buried his head in his hands, and Maeve gave him a hug.
"I'm sorry, Jeff."
-------------------------------------Off Camera---------------------------------
Callisto waited in the bar, drinking a root beer, yet again. She looked up, and saw Celine and Maeve entering the bar…together.
Maeve's eyes widened as she saw her sister, and she went over and hugged her.
"Whoa, sis, are you all right? Yeesh, you look like you've seen a ghost!"
"You…the oil truck…" Callisto raised an eyebrow, and shrugged.
"It was a pretty good masked mannequin then."
"Are you shitting me?"
"Yeah, sis. I told Jeff that I was going to act like I was dead, so that way that I could be left alone…Me and you could talk with mom, and I could go on that date with Jeff in privacy."
Maeve looked as if she was ready to tackle Callisto to the ground, but she just smiled.
"You're one crazy ass Sister." Callisto only grinned wider.
Celine smiled at her daughters, then nodded.
"Well, I think we all need to talk." Maeve shook her head.
"You don't need to, Uncle Glenn gave me all the letters and things that he kept from us. He said that he was afraid that we'd do something stupid, like go try to find you."
"He knows us too well." Callisto said, grinning again.
Callisto lied back on her hotel bed, and started to drift away in the subways of her mind. As she drifted, however, she didn't hear the door get unlocked and someone walk inside. Callisto lied there for a few more moments, and she felt someone sit beside her. She softly opened her eyes, and smiled just as softly.
"Did I scare you?" Jeff asked, his usual smile on.
"Nope. Not at all. I gave you a key to my- our – room, remember?" Jeff nodded, as he went into his duffel bag that sat beside the other bed, and Callisto felt strange as he put his bathroom stuff where they needed to be, and then walked out on to the balcony.
"It's nice out."
"Wait Five minutes, Jeff. Weather changes pretty quickly here."
Jeff chuckled slightly, as Callisto walked out onto the balcony and joined him. Jeff held his arms across her waist and set his neck on Callisto's shoulder. Callisto realized that she really missed his embrace.
"You scared me on Raw, you know. You've changed a lot."
"People change, Jeff."
"Not like the way you did on Raw a couple weeks ago…"
------------Flashback, Raw, Two Weeks Earlier----------------------
"All right, King, it's the first match for Callisto and Maeve of the Diva Tag Team Title Tournament, and I have to say, I'm worried for Maeve."
"I know what you mean, JR, we don't want another Lita fiasco, right?"
"That's right, King. Well, Maeve and Callisto's opponents are a rather odd team indeed, it seems that Trish Stratus and Lita have decided to team up against the destructive duo of Callisto and Maeve."
"Well, let's see how they do…"
Over the match, Callisto and Maeve kept on exchanging blank glances. They were in total control for most of the match, and even then, the match looked like the Duo were throwing it. Half-way through, Callisto gave a very very strange look over to her sister, and all of a sudden, Lita hit Callisto in the back of the head with the 'Money in the Bank' suitcase. Callisto went down, and Maeve tried to go and help, but she was backed into the corner by Trish and Lita. Maeve screamed at Callisto to get up, but it seemed that Callisto was unconscious. All of a sudden, Jeff came down from the top of the ramp and went over to the mat. He started to slap the mat, and he was yelling at Callisto. The crowd joined in, and Maeve rammed Lita and Trish down, and got the crowd going, but all of a sudden fell back, grabbing her stomach. Edge ran into the ring and speared Jeff, and Lita looked as if she was about to do the Hurricarana.
"CALLISTO! GET UP!"
Someone screamed from the crowd, and all of a sudden the crowd all started to join in, chanting Callisto.
JR was helping chant, (but he wasn't screaming as loud as the crowd was) and King joined in soon after.
Lita and Trish were distracted, and then Maeve noticed Callisto's fingers twitch.
All of a sudden, Callisto's eyes snapped open, and she did an HBK kind of flip upwards, doing a couple roundhouse kicks to Trish and Lita. The crowd cheered, and then Jeff, who had started to come back up to the mat, saw Callisto's eyes. She was not going to finish by just winning the match. Maeve realized this too, and she quickly covered Lita, pinning her.
Lilian Garcia started to announce that the winners were Maeve and Callisto, when a familiar Pyro went off at the top of the ramp, Callisto's father Kane walking down, stalking Edge and Lita. Callisto went over to where Lillian was and grabbed a couple steel chairs, clearly looking at Lita. The crowd didn't know what she was thinking, but it all became clear as Callisto clamped the steel chair onto Lita's before injured leg.
Kane grabbed Edge by the throat, and quickly gave him a tombstone Piledriver.
Callisto grabbed the steel steps and threw them into the ring.
Callisto held the steps high above her head.
The crowd were having a mixed reaction…Did Lita deserve this?
Callisto didn't give much time for them to decide, as she threw down the steps with all her might onto the clamped leg.
Lita's pain from the original leg disaster was a pin prick compared to the weight of the steps being driven down full force by her former step-daughter. As Lita screamed in agony, Callisto grabbed a microphone.
"Consider this payback for what you did to my father from me." Callisto threw the microphone in Lita's face, and she walked out of the ring, JR and King having a mixed reaction themselves.
------------------------------------End Flashback---------------------
"Well, at least now everything's back to normal…"
"What makes you so sure of that?" Callisto turned, giving Jeff a kiss on the lips.
The next morning, Callisto woke up beside Jeff. She rolled closer to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
He stirred and slowly opened his eyes.
"Good Morning…"
"A very good morning indeed."
