Six - Healer, Healer!
As Shawn and Hunter exited Stephanie's vehicle outside the hotel the dark man appeared before them again.
"Whoa twice in one morning, whassup Lucy?" Hunter said playfully.
"I'm not Lucifer if that's what you mean by Lucy, I came to warn you on behalf of Lucifer that you can't bother Randy Orton as you had planned. Your tricks won't work on him," the dark man said.
Shawn frowned defiantly," Why not?" he demanded through clenched teeth.
"I never thought He'd move that quickly," the dark man said to himself then looked up to address Hunter and Shawn, "It seems God has caught wind of Satan's antics and has dispatched a trio of angelic beings to protect the innocent," he explained in a mocking tone.
"But Randy Orton's not innocent," Hunter refuted shaking his head.
"No but he's being protected by Anointed Amy's prayer shall," the dark man continued. Shawn and Hunter went blank.
"Who the Hell is Anointed Amy?" Shawn asked first.
"And what the Hell is a prayer shall?" Hunter asked afterwards.
Man that spell worked really well the dark man thought to himself noticing that Shawn Michaels had no recollection of his Christian teachings at all, "Guys trust me, things just got a Hell of a lot more interesting for the both of you," he said putting his arms around both of them as the listened to him intently.
Meanwhile at the hospital:
Edge was talking to the nurses about Stephanie's condition when Lita came out of her room and pulled him to one side.
"Is she okay?" Edge asked concerned.
"Yeah she's fine but I need you to do me a favor," Lita asked.
"Sure Li anything," Edge replied willingly.
"I need you to look out for Shawn and Hunter," Lita said.
Edge ruffled his forehead, "Shawn and Hunter?"
Lita nodded.
"Why you think they have something to do with what happened?" Edge asked confused. Lita put her hand on his.
"I know they did honey, now keep an eye out for them okay?" she said.
"Okay," Edge nodded. Lita kissed him on the lips and went back into Stephanie's room leaving Edge alone with his thoughts of which there were many, mostly of disbelief.
Inside Stephanie's room:
"This is very disturbing news," Melina said after hearing the whole story of how Stephanie ended up where she was.
"But it's true," Stephanie said and Trish held her hand firmly reassuring her that they believed her.
"The question is why Hunter and Shawn would do such a thing?" Lita said thinking deeply.
"Stephanie do you remember anything different about either of them this morning?" Melina asked compassionately wiping the sweat from Stephanie's wan brow. Stephanie nodded violently her body shaking at the recollection of this morning's traumatic events.
"Yes, Shawn looked about ten years younger, his hair was almost to his backside and he was flirting with me a little, or maybe I wanted him to. You see I always had a crush on Shawn Michaels when I was younger and seeing him like that at my kitchen table was like watching my imagination spring to life. Then it all turned into a nightmare, spiders . . . big ugly spiders everywhere!" Stephanie started to hyperventilate and Lita put her hand over Stephanie's heart and told her to breathe easy.
"It's okay Stephanie," she said smiling, "Melina's gonna heal you now,"
Stephanie frowned not knowing what to say, "She is?" was all she could manage. Melina smiled at her and Stephanie felt comforted by the expression on her face. She didn't even notice that Lita and Trish had stepped out of the room and left her alone with Melina.
"What do you make of all this Trish?" Lita asked outside of Stephanie's room. Trish bit her lip and shook her head not thinking that Lita wanted to hear what she had to say, "Come on Truth, let's hear it," Lita said.
"Shawn and Hunter have been possessed by two very crafty demons who have the ability to make people see things that aren't there and change their appearance at will. For Stephanie it was simple; Hunter knew that she feared spiders especially tarantulas so he created an illusion of spiders being all around her. Shawn knew that Stephanie had a crush on him back in the day so he made himself ten years younger. Whatever desires or phobia or weakness a person may have these two demons will exploit that to terrorize the individual,"
"Shawn and Hunter are naturally mischievous so they must have been an easy target for the devil to work his magic," Lita said.
"DX is basically mischief which explains why they did what they did to Stephanie." Trish said, "But it sure as sugar doesn't explain what's going on with Randy,"
A sad look came across Lita's face, "Unfortunately these demons have also picked up on Shawn and Hunter violent instincts and something tells me their next performance is going to be a fatal one,"
Trish shook her head, "So what are we gonna do about it?"
"Why do I get the feeling you already know the answer to that?" Lita replied smiling and Trish nodded and opened Stephanie's room door peering in to see how the Billion Dollar Princess was doing. Melina came over to them taking Stephanie by the hand. Trish and Lita's eyes lit up at the sight of the fresh looking woman in front of them.
"I've gotta get back to my little girl," she said obviously moved by what had just happened.
"Linda's with her she's fine," Lita reassured her. Stephanie shed a tear and hugged Melina warmly.
"Thank you miracle worker, I am so grateful for what you did for me even though I don't really understand it," she said honestly.
"The Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea' and it would obey you," have faith Stephanie and miracles will happen, it's as simple as that,"
"Sounds like you've been reading your Bible," Stephanie replied.
"Don't act like you don't know that Scripture," Melina said.
"Sure I do but I never lived it," Stephanie said and Melina touched her on the arm and smiled.
"Why don't you start honey?" she said and walked away leaving Stephanie with a spiritual awareness she hadn't felt for awhile.
"Now I'm all good I think I'll give those two a piece of my mind," she said her stubborn streak coming through and Trish tried to suppress a chuckle and Stephanie looked at her wondering what was so funny.
"Stephanie why don't you let us handle this one?" Trish suggested regaining her composure. Lita nodded weary of the task that was at hand.
"We'll take it from here," she said stroking Stephanie's arm, "You go home and enjoy being a mother,"
Stephanie lit up all of a sudden at the mention of her daughter,
"Now that sounds like a billion dollar idea," she said and hugged Lita, "Take care of yourself Amy,"
Trish turned to see a nurse run out of the room adjacent to Stephanie's to another nurse gesturing wildly about the patient inside that room.
"What is it?" the nurse asked trying to calm down her colleague.
"He's walking, Mr. Anderson is walking!" the nurse replied excitedly trying to explain what she saw as Melina strolled out of Mr. Anderson's room about to walk into another when Trish caught her eye.
"We have time for a random healing session right?" Melina asked enthusiastically. Trish nodded smiling as for the next half an hour nurses ran up and down the hospital trying to explain all the miraculous recoveries that had taken place.
"Melina's doing this?" Steph asked Trish raising a shaky finger at Nitro's girlfriend. Trish nodded proudly and Stephanie gasped amazed that Melina was healing people all over the ward and racked her brain to remember where she put her Bible as she got in the elevator and headed home. Needless to say there were a lot of phone-calls to friends and family members being made that morning. Lita smiled at the people running around trying on their new health for size.
"Wow," Edge said joining her, "I didn't know Melina was so popular, these people must be really big fans,"
Trish and Lita looked at each other and giggled. Just then a woman came out of the elevator in a wheelchair and Melina walked over to her. She took hold of her hands and held onto them firmly for a moment with her eyes closed.
"Now," she said and opened her eyes, "you will walk, get out of the chair,"
Melina released her hands and the woman moved her left leg. She gushed and began to put weight on it. A look of shock came over her face as she put weight on her right leg and then got out of the wheelchair completely and stood to her feet. She stared at Melina in complete amazement then threw her hands up in the air and said,
"Praise the Lord!"
Suddenly people were shouting "praise the Lord!" all over the building and Melina found herself being approached by patients from left, right and center shouting "Healer, Healer!"
"It's time to go!" Trish said and nudged Edge who was in awe of what was taking place, "Edge get her outta there!" Trish said.
"Okay," Edge said coming out of his daze and heading into the crowd that had assembled around Melina, pulling the diva out and heading towards the elevator with Trish and Lita. Chants of "Healer, healer!" could be heard as the elevator descended but Lita, Trish and Melina weren't paying any attention to it. Edge looked at them all in amazement, he had to get back to the hotel and tell Carlito, Shelton and Nitro what he had just seen. Trish looked at Edge knowing exactly what he was thinking and felt disappointed that Carlito couldn't feel the same thing. She sighed as the elevator door opened, her cell-phone rang and she glared at the name that came up on the screen. She put the phone to her ear but it was too late the person had hung up. Why would he be calling me? She thought.
"Hey whassup Edge!" said a deep charming voice as they approached Edge's car. Lita frowned and Melina gushed.
"What's happening Rocky?" said Edge reaching out and hugging The Rock. Trish barely had time to take in what was going on but her heart rate had increased considerably.
"What are you doing here?" she snapped not realizing how abrupt her tone was causing everyone to look at her surprised.
"Isn't it obvious Trish? He's here to visit Stephanie. She's gone home now Dwayne you just missed her," Edge answered. The Rock wasn't even listening to what Edge was saying he was too busy trying to gauge Trish's reactions toward him.
"Really oh that's too bad, I guess I'll just give her a call," he answered absently not taking his eyes off Trish who hadn't taken her eyes off him. Rocky finally broke the staring competition the two were having and changed the subject, "So what are you guys going home now?" he asked.
"Yeah we're going back to the hotel and then we're going to---"Edge started explaining until Trish cut him off with her hand.
"Didn't you hear me? I said what are you doing here?" Trish demanded not knowing quite where this roaring voice was coming from.
"Trish are you okay?" Melina asked. The Rock cocked his famous eyebrow at the sight of Melina and turned towards her attentively.
"Hi I don't believe we've met," he said holding out his hand for Melina to shake. Melina backed down shyly almost hiding behind Lita.
"You're The Rock you don't need to introduce yourself," she said swinging her leg back and forth like a smitten teenage girl.
"Oh so you're a fan?" The Rock asked the conversation having all the makings of a flirtation.
"Who isn't?" Melina responded gushing and Trish rolled her eyes. She grabbed Melina by the arm and flung her into the back of Edge's car and held the door open for Lita,
"Coming?" she said to her Anointed sister giving Lita almost an ultimatum. Lita got inside knowing exactly what Trish's problem was.
"Nice to see you Rocky, take care of yourself," she said getting into the car.
"Hey Rocky wanna come back with us?" Edge said and Trish began clawing at the seat and gnashing her teeth.
"Sure, that is as long as Trish doesn't mind," Rocky replied. Just then Trish jumped out of the car and marched around to The Rock who didn't seem fazed at all by her attitude towards him.
"I don't know what kind of sick game you're trying to play but I don't want any part of it do you understand me?" she said pointing her finger in his face defiantly. Lita ran out after Trish and escorted the Women's Champion back inside the car.
"Maybe it's better if you don't come with us Rocky," she said, "But why don't you and Edge catch up, he'll let you know what's been going on around here okay?"
"Sure will," Edge nodded and chucked Lita the car keys. Trish's phone rang again but she ignored it. Melina and Lita looked at her scowling face hoping that her anger would subside soon after all they had very important work to do and they had to do it together.
