Chapter Nineteen: A Rescue Fit For Royalty

"Get out of here," Batista scoffed. His head was throbbing.

"It's true," Candice replied. "That's why I was sent to be her best friend. We grew up together. I helped her get out there."

"If that's the case," Cena snapped. "Why doesn't she remember?"

"The same reasons that only the six of us and the deviants remember," Mickie replied. "We totally put spells on everyone."

"So it's not just King Hunter they need," Batista murmured, looking up at Candice. "They need Lita too!"

"So Lita wasn't a random pick," Maria clued in. "You needed her."

Candice nodded. "She escaped that night in the castle. She heard the screams and I helped hide her. It would have been what Queen Stephanie wanted."

"So what the hell do we do now?" snapped Cena.

"We find her."

Dressed in a white satin spaghetti strapped gown, Lita sat tied to a chair as Chyna worked her over. She wanted to know where the hell King Hunter was, and now. Of course, Lita knew, but she hoped that the girls had switched hiding spots in case anything had happened.

"Where is he?" she snarled.

"Get out of my face," Lita snapped back. Chyna hauled off and backhanded her, causing her to land on the ground, tied to the chair. She had been working the wristbands forever, but they were too knotted to come out.

She wished Batista was there. She wished he was there to knock the teeth out of that bitch's mouth. She wished he was there to take Vince on. Most of all, she was frightened, as much as she hated to admit it, she wanted him there to comfort her.

"I'm going to give you one more chance," Chyna snarled. "Where is he?"

"What are you going to do?" Lita asked. "Kill me? You can't do that. Vince would kill you." Chyna's eyes widened; this girl had some serious spunk. And Chyna and Lita both knew it was true. Lita was needed, whether Chyna liked it or not and it was going to equal to Chyna's demise if she did anything out of character.

Ranting, Chyna left Lita lying sideways on the floor, tied to the chair. She was uncomfortable.

It had all happened so fast. Lilian had betrayed them! Lilian had betrayed Candice, Mickie, Victoria, Beth and Torrie. They had gone for King Hunter's body at the place where Lita was, but the girls had grown wise to Lilian and had hidden the statue somewhere else, somewhere Lita did not know. Lita had yet to know that the body had been moved.

She looked ahead at the bed, where Queen Stephanie's body lay. She was a beauty in concrete, Lita could only imagine what she was when she was living and breathing. She was having a hard time with this new revelation – that's my mom? Was the only thing that would run through her head as she stared at the queen.

The one called Shane-O-Mac had been the nicest to her. She was surprised; but Shane-O-Mac seemed to have something of a conscience. He walked into the room and saw her laid out on the floor. He helped her upright. "Chyna?"

She nodded.

"Yeah, sorry. She's a little rough around the edges on her people skills," Shane-O-Mac told her. "She shouldn't be roughing you up like that. Vince is going to evaporate her."

"Why is she such a bitch?" Lita asked. Shane-O-Mac even had to smirk at that.

"She dated your father, and he dumped her for Queen Stephanie. She hates your family."

"Makes me feel better," she replied. He got up to leave her. "Shane?"

He turned around. "Is Batista...is he...?"

"I don't know. I'd assume so. Chyna hit him with some violent power." With that, he was gone, leaving Lita to sit alone with her stone mother, the tears falling down her face, her cries coming in soft heaves.

"I want that bitch!" Batista roared. They were planning their attack on Vince's headquarters. "I am going to kill her!" Of course, he was talking about Chyna.

Randy Orton and Layla were sent back to their realm. With Lilian's treachery and their stupidity during this entire search, the other girls felt that Orton and Layla could jeopardize what had now become a rescue mission. Batista, on the other hand, was starting to become a concern. He was acting like a loose cannon, Chyna's shot diminishing any sort of logic he had in him.

They were all at the graveyard. Kane, Maria, Cena, Candice, Mickie, Batista, Torrie, Victoria, and Beth Phoenix. They were all getting psyched up to go into Vince's headquarters and to get the last of the royal family back together.

"I want you all to be careful," Candice warned. "Vince's powers are incredible."

"I want him." They all stared at Kane. "I'll make him pay for what he did to my brother." They nodded; it was better to let the two sorcerers duke it out. Of course, Lita had powers, too, being the daughter of Queen Stephanie, but she had yet to realize that she had a store of powers all her own.

"Are you ready?" Candice asked. They went up in cheers. "I said, 'Are you ready?'" They yelled out battle cries into the night. "Then let's get a move on."

Peering from the crystal ball, Vince smiled. They were coming, just like he thought they would. And when they arrived, he'd be ready for them.
