From You WILL be next! ..
"So anyway," CM continued, waltzing around the ring. "It was like a fairytale. That is, until I found out about a guy you all know as John Cena." A buzz could be heard around the arena as the fans whispered to each other." Now, John Cena, your Champion, was best friends with Maria, my girlfriend. Which was all fine and dandy, until he decided that he wanted her all for himself. Why you ask? Because he loved her! Because he still loves her!" The gasp from the audience was no so loud that it drowned out the gasp of the object under the blanket. He loves me? she thought. Then why did he leave me?
"SOOO long story short. I eliminated him. I got rid of your Champion. And just to rub it in even more," he lifted up the blanket revealing Maria tied to a chair, her mouth covered with type and arms and feet bound. "I took away the thing that means most to him in the world. His girl, the only one he ever wanted, and the only on you fans ever wanted to see him with. Miss Maria Kanellis, soon to be Mrs Maria PUNK.
The audience sat stunned as PUNK started screaming, just like he had with his entrance. Was John really gone? Was Maria going to be forced to marry that psychopath? Suddenly the arena went dark, and when the lights came back on, Maria was gone.
John sat staring at the screen. It might not have been obvious to the audience, but he could see the bruises on her shoulders and the fear in her eyes. "Pete, Torrie," he said in a low voice. "If you don't mind, I'd like to take a small trip to Las Vegas. Is that ok? "Torrie and Pete looked at each other, not wanting to disagree but at the same time wodering if it was the wisest thing to do. John continued. "If someone doesn't drive me, I'll drive myself. Take into account I more than likely have a concussion."
Pete sighed. "Alright then. Get your stuff together, Torrie help him out to the car."
As Torrie and John left the room Pete closed his eyes and shook his head before getting up. "Las Vegas, here we come."
And now on with the show ..
Backstage, Trish watched the scene unfolding before her in complete horror. "This .. is my .. fault! He must have gone after Maria as soon as I left the room," she garbled in a state of utter hysteria. "John is going to kill me!"
Shawn rolled his eyes as Charlie shot him a look and moved to comfort the diva. "Hey, you did what you could. Thanks to you, we're now almost 100 certain that Phil is the one behind Marias recent .. problems."
"Yeah, but that isn't exactly a good thing," Trish pointed out. "If I had a choice Maria wouldn't be going through this at all." She folded her arms in front of her as she tried to understand the magnitude of Marias situation. When Maria had been hired after the Diva Search Competition, she'd seemed a little distant. She always kept to herself, hiding away in the locker rooms when she wasn't needed on air and traveling on her own. That was, until John had taken her under his wing after he'd arrived from Smackdown. Shortly after his arrival Maria had become the bubbly personality she was know for today, both on and off the camera. And eventually, the divas had accepted heras one of their own. Looking at her tonight though, was almost like deja vu. It was hard to imagine the strong willed beauty being the vulnerable diva that had been trapped in the middle of the ring. Shivering Trish added, "I wouldn't wish that upon anyone."
The Heartbreak Kid was lost deep in thought, failing to have heard anything Trish had said. "So what are we going to do?"
"What can we do?" asked Charlie logically."If we act now, do anything, we have no idea what the repercussions will be for Maria. If we wait, there's a big possibility CM PUNK takes this into his own hands and does something drastic, evn more so than what hes already done."
Shawn threw his hands up into the air. "So what do we do? Charlie, this isn't just any diva we're talking about, it's one of our own! It's Maria! If we let anything happen to her while John isn't here our lives won't be worth living! She's like a sister to all of us; you, me and Benoit - she can be annoying as hell as times, but not often than not she's just so innocent and sweet you want to protect her and keep her safe." Shawns eyes began to mist over suddenly. This whole affair was taking its toll on everyone involved. John and Maria especially, but Shawn, Torrie, Pete, Charlie and Trish were all starting to suffer the effects of CM PUNK.
Unfortunately, they didn't realise that the situation was about to get a whole lot worse.
Pete barely had his seatbelt unbuckled when John jumped out of the car and onto the pavement. Due to massive blood loss, he was feeling quite lightheaded and woosy. The carpark seemed to spin as Torrie hurried to grab his hand and keep him from collapsing yet again. "Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked quietly. She had wanted John to receive some medical attention before they made it to the arena but he'd flatly refused. In his opinion, he'd only get hospitalised and then he'd be further away from Maria than ever. This had to end, and it had to end tonight. With Vince seemingly behind CM now, it was only a matter of time before their twisted relationship/love triangle caught the attention of the fans. In their eyes, it was simply another kayfabe. They knew that in real life Maria was dating Phil Brooks, and that John and Maria were the best of friends, yet they had no idea how true it was that John was in love with her. So much in love that it broke his heart to see her hurting, and knowing that he couldn't do a thing about it."John?" Torrie questioned. "You still with me?"
A new determination could be seen in Johns eyes."Yeah I'm with you," he replied softly.' Let's get her out." Torrie by his side and Pete following warily behind, the trio made their way into the building. With RAW still on the air, the hallways were virtually deserted.
"Where to now?" Pete asked somewhat hesitantly. He could feel himself being sucked more and more into this situation; though he didn't know Maria and he barely knew John, apart from today, he could understand what the younger man was going through. From what he'd seen on Monday Night RAW, John Cena was a professional. An elite athlete, determined and outspoken. The perfect character to win over the fans, talented in the ring and on the mike. Of course, the fact that he was good looking didn't hurt either. But now the facade had been dropped. What was left of John Cena was almost unrecognisable. A shell of his former self, John struggled along the hall to the Gorilla. Judging from the surprised look of the techie in the sound booth, people really had believed the story that John had been taken care of.
"I need to get out to the ring." John demanded."You have to play Marias' entrance theme."
The sound technician looked totally confused. "Marias? If you're going out to the ring, I should be playing yours, right?" He grabbed the file that would input Johns entrance to the speakers and started loading it.
He'd heard that John had been attacked, maybe he had gone all loopy in the head as a result. He knew that he shouldn't be allowing John out to the ring as it was, but if he was going, he was going to do his job correctly. Pete whispered something in Torries' ear, bringing a complete look of disgust to the divas face. She shot her husband a glare, but was met with a pleading glance. Granted, she wanted to help John too, but this way taking it a bit too far. Sighing, she stepped forward and placed a hand on the technicians arm. From the way he beamed at her in delight, she knew Pete was right.
"Hey there .. uh Richard," she purred, reading the poor guys nametag. He had no idea what he was in for."You know, I've always thought Richard was such a powerful name. I bet that you're a stand up guy Richard."
Gulping air, Richard was very nervous now. He knew he was about to get bullied into letting the Champ have his way, but right now, he didn't care. "Ah ... I .. yeah, I am." He nodded, trying to reassure himself more than anyone else. Torrie pearched herself on the edge of the soundboard and slowly pulled her skirt up an inch or two. Richards' eyes were now following her every move, a thing that Pete took full advantage of. Slipping behind the poor guy he stopped the upload and slipped in "With legs like that" by Zebrahead. Discreetly slipping Torrie a wink, Pete moved back to where he was standing next to John. Torrie was now in full flirt mode, and Pete decided to speak up before this got out of control.
"Well, Tor." Pete said sadly. " I guess Richard isn't willing to help us. We best be going." Torrie jumped up as Marias theme began to play, and began to head through the stage curtain behind John and Pete.
Richard began to stutter as he realised what was going on. "What ... how .."
"Didn't you know Richard?" Torrie shot back as she strolled out. "I always get what I want." Moving between the two guys Torrie commanded, "Alright let's do this."
"What on earth?" asked JR. "Correct me if I'm wrong King, but that's Marias theme! What is going on here? Didn't we just see Maria taken away by CM PUNK?"
"JR!" King cried. "That's not Maria! It's ..."
Shawn, Charlie and Trish all turned toward the tv in disbelief as Marias entrance theme blared through the speakers. "What ... Who .." The three superstars gaped at the screen before they all began to grin uncontrollably.
"They're here! Well I'll be damned," Shawn grinned." I knew it! Pete and Torrie wouldn't let us down, I knew that they'd get .."
CM PUNK began to rage. "JOHN? HERE? What is going on? He's supposed to dead! I left him on the side of the road to die dammit!" Maria turned to face her boyfriend, not quite believing what he'd said. He'd told her that John had left her because of what she'd said ... What was going on here? Phil was still raging, pacing back and forward in Marias locker room. After his little perfomrance in the ring he'd brought her back here on the grounds that she wouldn't try anything stupid. Untied and feel rather relieved, Maria had been cowering in the far corner of the room, while Phil had been slamming her with insults. She was really confused now; one minute he was saying he loved her, and then that John loved her, then that she was useless ... it didn't make any sense. And now John was here at the arena. Wait .. what had Phil just said?
"You did what?" She asked slowly.
He turned to her and asked "Did I ask you to speak?"
But Maria wasn't listening. "I said, YOU did what? You told me that John had left ... " Maria stood up and walked toward him. "What did you do to him!"
Back in the ring ..
"Early this morning, I was traveling to Las Vegas with Maria and CM PUNK, that lunatic you guys just saw talking a lot of trash. As my fans would know, and Rias fans would know, we've been traveling together for a while. You guys know it, we're friends, best friends. I'll admit, some of what PUNK said was true. Yes, he is dating Ria. Yes, he did work for OVW and now he is here in the WWE. But there was one other thing he said that was also true." John stood in the middle of the ring, flanked by Torrie and Pete.
The fans began whispering eagerly in anticipation. Was John going to say what they wanted him too? A standing ovation had been heard when he'd come down to the ring earlier. Even with the fan reaction he'd been receiving lately, there was something that hadn't seemed right about CM PUNK , and the fans had demonstrated their loyalty to the WWE superstar. But what was he about to say?
"I'm sorry that you guys have to see me like this. But I'm not sorry for what I'm about to say. Ria, I do love you. I know this isn't the way I should be telling you either, you deserve a lot better than this. But if this is the only way I can get your attention, then I have to do this. I don't know what he told you, but I didn't leave you by choice this morning. PUNK got me, smacked me down and left me on the side of the highway. If it wasn't for a college student named Dave, and Torrie and Billy Kidman here, I would probably still be lying there. But I didn't break my promise Ri - I told you I would never leave you, and I'm not going too."
The fans were puzzled now. Was this a storyline, or was John speaking the truth here? Seeing their confusion, John decided to help them out. "This isn't a part of a storyline - this is real. But I'm telling you, PUNK give me everything you've got. Bring it now, tomorrow, next week. I won't let you touch her anymore. You want me? You got me. You want my title. You can have a shot at that too. If you want some CM .. COME GET SOME!"
John dropped and rolled out of the ring, followed by Torrie and Pete. The fan reaction was huge as the trio headed backstage and John was physically shaking. Behind the safety of the curtain backstage he looked at Torrie, and Pete, and Torie again. "Did I just tell the world I loved Maria Kanellis?" Upon their amused nods a small smile spread across the Champs face. "Becs is going to kill me."
"She's not the only one" a foreboding voice spoke up."If I had my way, you would have been dead already."
Okayyyyyyy i know it's short but will it be enough to tide you over? I had a bit of trouble with this chapter so it's probably the worst one so far lol - CLIFFHANGERS, CLIFFHANGERS CLIFFHANGERS hahaha
if people feel inclined to review I'll put the next chapter up faster ! yes yes ... im evil
