June 17th 2007…

"Hey… can't sleep?" Chris asked after Amanda had wandered into his hotel room, a look of anxiety on her face and her body still sore… it was a week before the Vengeance: Night Of Champions pay per view and in the later part of the week, Amanda began having horrific nightmares but hadn't said much about them.

Without a word, Amanda walked over and threw her arms around Chris, who returned the hug as the small brunette cried into his shoulder.

"Hey, it's alright… I'm not going anywhere, little one. I'll always be here." Chris replied soothingly, rubbing his right hand up and down her back even as she eventually looked up at him through her reddened and sore eyes.

"Promise?" Amanda asked quietly.

"I promise, Amanda. Everything will be okay." Chris explained, guiding Amanda to the king sized bed and helping her lie down in it before pulling the covers over her. Chris walked back to his side of the bed and stretched out next to Amanda, pulling her into his arms again after pulling the covers over himself as Amanda rested her head over his heart… but she was fighting to stay awake.

"You need your sleep, kiddo… don't worry, I'm not going anywhere and Randy's not gonna barge in looking for you." Chris whispered, kissing Amanda on her forehead before her eyes slid closed and she drifted off into a much needed sleep.

Sunlight hit his blue eyes harshly but Chris woke up and saw that Amanda was still sound asleep, lost in peaceful dreams instead of the nightmare that had traumatized her so badly.

Chris lightly brushed Amanda's hair back, knowing that whatever it was had clearly shaken her to her very being… and her heart, mind and body had already been through enough after being abused.

All he wanted to do was protect her from more hell… but what neither of them knew that that protection would stop and stop out of their control…

Present time, November 3rd 2016…

"Tiny, you and your Demon are too used to Florida weather." Devan replied after Amanda and Finn joined him outside, both bundled up in cold weather clothes.

Amanda shook her head and climbed into the back of the 2016 Ford Explorer with Finn, Devan getting in the driver's seat. It was as they were about to leave when they heard footsteps and shouting.

"Hey, wait up!"

Amanda looked and saw Shinsuke Nakamura, who had recently been brought up to Raw. Amanda smiled, got out and the two hugged, Shinsuke picking her up and spinning her around like he always did.

When everyone was in the car, Devan turned the radio on as Move Along by All-American Rejects played and Amanda lightly sang to it…

But at the moment the car had stopped at a red light, the four were crashed into by a police car and thrown into unconsciousness.

November 4th 2016...

When Amanda regained her senses, a woman with reddish brown wavy hair and deep blue eyes was looking at her in concern and talking but because Amanda's ears were ringing, she couldn't hear properly and pointed to her ears.

"Oh… sorry. Anyway, your friends and boyfriend are okay, they're more worried about you, they told me that your name is Amanda… I'm Katherine Quackenbush but everyone usually calls me Kat." The woman explained.

"Kat Striker… from Lucha Underground…" Amanda responded, Katherine nodding.

"And those were corrupt cops that crashed into you… I assure you, Amanda, Lucha Underground is considerably different from WWE." Katherine replied, helping Amanda sit up as Finn walked into the room with Devan, Shinsuke and another familiar face even if that face was hidden by a mask.

"Rey… damn, it's been too long." Amanda responded, her and Rey Mysterio hugging.

"I missed you too, kiddo… so much." Rey replied as they let go, Rey seeing the pained look in Amanda's eyes and Amanda seeing the concerned look in Rey's eyes.

She was talking in her crash induced sleep… and from the looks on the five faces, it was clearly about Chris.

"What… happened, exactly?" Amanda asked, noticing that she was in a hospital room and not the ER.

"Mandy…" Finn started to explain, lightly grabbing Amanda's right hand. "You weren't out for a few hours, you were out for nearly 24 hours… and in that time…" He responded.

Looking around, Amanda was confused… why were there two of her, one in a hospital bed and her standing straight up? What was going on here?

"Out of your body… and little one, it's not the first time and you know what I'm talking about." Amanda heard, turned around and saw Chris.

"The seizures… Chris, I don't feel right, my ears are still ringing." Amanda responded, still hearing the ringing that made her ears feel like they were gonna fall off.

"That'll take some time to subside, Mandy… but when Bray was talking about what he was talking about on Monday night, he didn't mean the current storyline. The nightmares you were having before the Vengeance 2007 pay per view were eerily similar to premonitions of what was going to happen. Sweetie, I'm sorry you've been haunted by what happened nearly a decade ago but it was never your fault." Chris responded.

"You… blacked it out, didn't you?" Amanda questioned, Chris nodding.

"When I had realised what I had done, I couldn't live with the guilt… and I didn't want anyone else to either which is why I took my own life. Amanda, you've been blaming yourself and you never stopped…" Chris explained, Amanda looking up at him.

"But if I had stayed or gotten you to stay with me at the house, you all would still be alive! Yes, I do blame myself because I ignored what was right in front of me! I wanted everything to be okay that I… I… I blocked out everything else…" Amanda responded, stopping as tears streamed down her face and she collapsed into sobs when the two hugged. "I miss you three so much… and I want to stop hurting but I can't!" She replied through her violent sobs, Chris rubbing his right hand up and down her back even after she had worn herself out from crying.

Chris looked at Amanda and realised that she had worn herself out, her eyes closed… he pressed his lips to her forehead in a gesture of comfort, brushing her tears away.

"It was out of our control, little one… there was never anyone to blame." Chris whispered, picking Amanda up in his arms and putting her spirit back in her body.

He hoped that when she woke up, she would finally be at peace with what had haunted her since that day.
