Hall opened his eyes and looked at Maria, who was still asleep. He reached over to touch her hair and noticed she was waking up.
"Eric's gonna kill me." She said softly.
"I won't let anybody hurt you"
"I know"
They lay in silence for a few minutes.
"I should check on Ana."Hall said, moving to get up.
"No." Maria said, pulling him back. "She's a big girl, she can take care of herself"
"You've been saying that since she was 3." Maria smiled and moved her lips up to his.
Ana walked into the arena, trying not to draw attention to herself. She waited until she heard Kane's enterance music, then walked towards the ring. After a few minutes of watching his match she got into the ring and hit Kane with the chair, she kept hitting Kane harder as she thought of what he'd done to Eugene, and what he'd done to her. Her thoughts turned to her parents, Alvero and Bischoff until she felt the chair being snatched from her hands. She turned to see Bischoff behind her.
"What are you doing?" He demanded.
Ana looked at him for a second, before punching him, causing his nose to bleed. She looked at Kane who was knocked out, and covered with blood, before leaving the ring, smiling in satisfaction.
"Ana?" She heard a voice say backstage. She looked up at Beniot.
"Hi." She said.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"I am now"
"Bischoff might put you in a match with Kane." Beniot warned.
"Yeah well, then I just get to hurt him again don't I?"
"She's gone back to Alvero hasn't she?" Hall said, walking up and down in the kitchen.
"Who's Alvero?" Maria asked.
"Old boyfriend. He used to hit her"
"What? Why should she have a boyfriend like that"
"I don't know. Like mother like daughter." Hall said, looking at Maria.
"Karl's not like that. He...he just gets mad sometimes"
"When Ana was living with you he got mad all the time"
"Like that time you broke her nose?" Maria shouted.
"I was drunk"
"You're always drunk"
"You think you could shout a little louder, there's a kid next door that needs to be woken up." Nash said sarcasticly.
"I remember something!" Eugene said happily.
"Hopefully your name." Hall snapped.
"Leave him alone, it's not his fault." Maria said.
"Yeah, guess it's his genes isn't it"
"What do remember?" Nash asked.
"I told Ana that Kane said he was my friend and then I turned around and she was gone"
"She's gone to RAW." Hall said eventually.
"You really sound like Hall's daughter." Beniot commented.
"Maybe that's cos I am"
"How is he"
"Drunk. Same as always"
"That's not your fault." Ana looked at him, surprised that he knew what she was thinking.
"Yeah but I wish I could make him feel better so he doesn't feel like he has to drink"
"It's not about what you do-" Beniot started to say, before Ana pressed her lips on his.
"Kane's hurt her hasn't he?" Maria said, crying harder than she was a few minutes ago.
"She'll be ok." Hall said.
"She won't. He's too strong, he's hurt her before"
"She'll be ok." Hall said, beore leaning down to kiss her.
"What are you doing?" Ana asked, walking into the kitchen.
"Where were you?" Hall demanded.
"Why are you sober"
"Answer the question." Maria shouted.
"Why are you here? Oh I get it, you two wish that I wasn't born so you act all screwed up when I'm around and then become your normal selves when I'm gone"
"I was worried about you." Hall said. "I didn't know...if you were gonna go to RAW or...if Kane would hurt you"
"And you suddenly feel better when my mother's tongue is down your throat. I thought you already knew this but you hate her"
"I don't"
"What"
"I love her"
"What"
"Scott-" Maria said. "I can't...I love Karl"
"You don't." Hall said as Maria walked towards the door.
"You're choosing that retarded maniac over him?" Ana said.
"I'll call you tomorow." Maria said.
"Don't bother." Ana answered.
"I need a drink." Hall said as he heard the door close.
"Dad-" Ana said. Hall looked over and saw the tears in her eyes. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
