Chapter 24
A/N: I just wanted to say thank you to all of those who reviewed my last chapter. I know it wasn't the nicest and most pleasant one yet, but bear with me. Well enough of me chatting, on with the next chapter. Oh and before I forget please review! ;D
Kitten woke to the sound a machine beeping. Her eyes stayed close for sometime as she just tried to figure out where she was. Then she was conscious of a huge pain in her stomach and back. She tried to remember what happened and succeeded. The last thing she remembered was being beaten she had gotten from Evolution. She growled lowly and balled her fists tightly.
"Oww! Hey, easy there.", a man's voice said from her left. She slowly cracked her right eye open and looked over to her right. What she saw was Jeff hardy squeezing his left hand. He shook it once and looked over to her. She gave him a weak smile and he gave her a warm smile back.
"Hey you. How you feeling?"
"Never better. What are you doing here?"
"Came as soon as I heard what happened. Why did you go out there alone?"
"I thought that I could get through to him.", she replied sadly. She opened her other eye to get a good look at him. Jeff's bottom lip and left eyebrow were stitched up and bruised. She shook her head and sadly said, "I'm so sorry Jeff. Hunter got to him. That's why he went berserk on us."
"Aww, don't you worry about it. I'm great. You just worry about getting yourself back to normal."
"Yeah that's what's I need to do.", she said with a weak smile. She closed her eyes but a noise made her open them again. She looked over at Jeff who was trying to keep a straight face. "What is it? Why are you laughing?"
"Sounds like someone is hungry?"
"Yeah well you know I'm always hungry."
"That I do know. I'll go tell the nurse to go get you something."
"No! Hospital food sucks!"
"Well what do you want then?"
"In N out?"
"Are you serious?"
"Oh come on, please? I just broke up with the love of my life and got beaten by him. I'm stuck in a hospital bed for who knows how long, and now you won't get me any?"
"I didn't say that! I just said maybe you should take it easy."
"Even with stuffing my face?"
"Yes, even that. I'll go get you some fries and a shake and we'll see how you do, okay?"
"That works. Just make sure there from Jack in the Box"
"Got it.", he laughed. He gave her a kiss on the forehead and walked to the door. "I won't be gone long. You just stay there and rest, alright?"
"Yeah I heard ya the first time. Now go get my food please.", she smiled. He shook his head and chuckled before he left. Kitten sighed as she began to relax again. The events of that night kept replaying in her mind over and over again so she decided to watch some TV. The thing was the remote was left in the chair Jeff was sitting on. She would get up but the part of her being injured prevented that from happening. She growled in frustration.
Jeff returned in fifteen minutes with her fries and shake just as he said. She ate it in half that time. Once she finished her fried she laid back down and slowly finished her shake as she talked to Jeff again.
"So the good news is that you will be able to go home in about two days."
"And the bad news?"
"You won't be able to wrestle in about a week."
"Are you kidding me? A week?"
"Yeah, sorry."
"Aww man that's just great. What am I gunna for a week?"
"You could stay with me? I mean until you fully heal and ready to get back to work?"
"That sounds good. You sure you don't mind?"
"No way! I have one house and Matt lived across the road from me. But I still get a little lonely once in a while… and it will be great cuz we could train together."
"Yeah alright. Sounds like a plan."
"Good.", he said with a smile.
Two days later Kitten had been released from the hospital and had moved in with Jeff until her return to Raw. She trained hard, working out any kinks in her movement on him. It was honestly nice to work with a high flyer especially since some of her wrestling techniques are highflying techniques. He taught her a whole lot of new moves and ways of not being injured. Kitten and Jeff's friendship was strong now and she basically forgot all about Dave. Before she knew it, a week of recovery was over and she had been cleared to wrestle again.
When she returned the following Monday night, most of the superstars welcomed her back with open arms. The divas had helped her settle in the locker room where she was now staying. Once in a while, some of them would do her hair in a crazy bun or ponytail just so they could play with it. She didn't mind. She actually kind a liked it. Most of the divas were very good at doing makeup and hair and her coming from a background full of men, didn't have that knowledge. It was like once you stepped into the diva's locker room it was a different world.
Raw's latest pay per view, New Year's Revolution, was coming up in six days and Eric Bischoff had an announcement he wanted to make later on that night. Kitten already had a feeling of what it might know what type of man he was. She sighed and finished getting dressed. She walked over to the full-length mirror and checked her hair, outfit and make up. Her bruises and cuts hadn't healed fully yet, so they were still very visible. She wore a simple black wrestling bra with a white skirt. Her black and white mid-calf boots were two inched heals. She saw where Dave had hit her with his fists and the sledgehammer. Her stomach and ribs had baseball size marks all over them. She shook her head and headed out towards catering before someone behind her called her name. She looked and smiled to see it was Shawn Michaels.
"Hey Kitten, wait up a sec."
"Hey Shawn. How's my favorite Heartbreak Kid these days?"
"Better than you I can see. How are you feeling. After what happened two weeks ago, I thought that you would be out for a while."
"Me? Naw, I'm a lot tougher than I look."
"Yeah that's what make you special I guess." , he laughed. She hit him in the arm and giggled at him as he pretended she had broken it. "It is good to see you smile, and when I say smile I mean a real smile. Not that evil grin you get when you want to kill someone in that ring. So where you headed?"
"Thanks. I'm headed to catering ri—"
"Oh I'm so sorry to cut you off Kitten, but Shawn, Mr. Bischoff wants you out in the ring with him.", a hand interrupted them. Shawn nodded his head and watched the hand walk away before turning back to Kitten.
"You wanna come down, just in case I need back up? That is if you're up to it?"
"Is the Heartbreak Kid, challenging me? Oh I'm so there."
"Good let's get a move on", he laughed. They walked over to the gorilla position and waited for Shawn's music to start. They walked out of the curtain and onto the stage. Kitten waved to the crowd as she walked down the ramp half way. She waited for Shawn to do his pyros before walked over to Kitten. She smiled at him and turned to the ring to look at Eric, but what she got was a huge shock. Evolution was standing there in the corner with Eric on one side of the ring. Randy, Beniot and Jericho were one the other side standing with their arms crossed facing them.
"Shawn, I'm gunna go back—"
"Oh no you don't. Those morons won't think about hurtin you with the others around. Just stay near us and you'll be fine.", he said reassuring her. She never took her eyes off the three men the far left corner, but nodded in agreement. Shawn smiled and patted her on her shoulders. He walked up the stairs and walk through the roped. He held them open for her, but she was still down on the floor, walking slowly. "Hey Kitten, any day now?"
"I got this Shawn.", Randy said as he came from behind him. He held the ropes for her and gave her a whistle. It worked. Kitten's attention changed from Evolution to Randy. He smiled at her and called her in. For the first time in two weeks, Kitten's evil grin came back. She jumped onto the ring and walked through the opened ropes. Randy then pulled her into a hug and walked her over to where he and the other superstars were standing.
"As I was saying, Shawn has not been cleared for wrestling yet so that means there is still one spot open for the elimination chamber at New Years Revolution this Sunday.", Eric boomed through the microphone.
Kitten looked long and hard at Eric and then did something the whole arena was shocked to hear. "I'll be the sixth one.", she said simply. The whole arena went quiet for what seemed like three seconds before they started cheering. The female fans were heard the loudest over the males. It brought a smile to her lips and her nose in the air again. Randy laughed behind her and patted her on her shoulders lightly.
Eric however didn't know what to say but the smile on his face told her that he liked the idea. "Alright then. Kitten you will be in the elimination chamber but only on one condition…"
"Spill it!"
"You will be one of the two who start the chamber match."
"Sounds fine with me.", she said darkly. She turned her gaze to her previous stable mates standing behind him. "You better bring your wrestling gear ladies. It's not going to be a tea party in there.", she laughed. She walked right up to Dave and gave him a wink before slapping his face, sending him two feet to his right. He growled in frustration but stopped when Benoit and Orton stood behind her.
"Alright people. Save it for Sunday. You are all dismissed.", Eris said with a cheesy smile. Kitten laughed as he walked out and up the ramp waving to the fans as they booed him up. Then out of nowhere, HHH came and got in her face. She looked up at him and growled. She then got a cocky smile on her face and turned quickly around so that her back was facing him now. Her hair had wiped him in the face making a whipping sound as hair met skin hard. He grunted in pain, which only added to her smile. She walked back over to Randy and gave him a hug before walking out of the ring and up the ramp.
She walked through the curtains and laughed as much as her pain would let her. Maven had walked past her and looked at her curiously before walking up to her and poking her in the shoulder.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah. It's just that I will finally give Dave and Hunter what they truly deserve."
"Yea I know you will.", he said as he watched her laugh all the way down the hallway. He smiled to himself, as he knew that Evolution wouldn't come out of that chamber as they left. "Finally", he sighed and began heading back towards the trainers.
