The Mind Games
"Ok, so do you really believe that The Undertaker truly has powers and that's how he was able to trick her into believing she was having sex with you? Give me a break!" Shawn said later on that day. He and Hunter were back in the house cooking since it was now storming outside. I sat up on the couch and rubbed my eyes listening quietly to their conversation.
"SSH! You're going to wake her up Shawn." Hunter said. "And you believed her when she told us before."
"Yeah I did…but didn't you say that you remember being with her at that house?" Shawn said.
Hunter sighed, "Yes and I remember having sex with her….but may be it was a dream. I woke up that next morning in my own bed."
"Maybe the Undertaker is messing with both of your heads. It wouldn't be the first time he's messed with yours."
"I know that Shawn…"
"And plus….Mia looks an awful lot like you. Nothing about that child screams Undertaker to me."
I sighed and got up from the couch. My body was slowly regaining strength but I was still somewhat weak from the childbirth. I made my way to the stairs as they continued to ponder whether or not the Undertaker messed with our heads or not. I didn't care about all that…all I wanted was my daughter in my arms.
I carefully climbed the steps, using the banister to pull myself up each step. When I reached the top, I took a deep breath and began to walk towards the guest rooms. I nearly jumped out of my skin however when I looked down the hall and saw the 7ft tall Phenom standing there with a wicked smile on his face. I wanted to scream but something wouldn't let me. I stood there with my mouth hanging open and my arms folded tight against my body.
He began to laugh as he took a few steps towards me, "Well, well, well…if it isn't my little pet. How are you feeling these days hm? Trapped? Lost? Confused?"
My body began to tremble but not in fear. I clenched my teeth and fists together wanting nothing more than to punch him in the face.
"Come now Meaghan…you of all people should know that not everything is as it seems when it comes to me," He said
I sniffled, "What are you saying?"
An evil smirk crossed his face before he turned and walked into the room that was on his right. I stood there frozen until I heard Mia beginning to cry. With a strange sense of fear I ran to the room and saw him holding my baby in one hand and a dagger in the other.
"Undertaker please…please don't hurt her!" I cried.
He laughed, "I'll let her be…as long as your buddy lets me be."
I raised an eyebrow, "Who? Shawn?"
"That infidel continues to try and get a rematch with me at the next WrestleMania…and I refuse to beat him again."
I shook my head, "So that's it then…you'll harm your own daughter before you wrestle Shawn again."
He laughed, "You don't listen very well do you? Not everything is as it seems when it comes to me…including this child. Tell Shawn to back off….or your daughter suffers. Understand?"
I bit my bottom lip as he walked towards me and handed me Mia. I looked at her as she opened her eyes revealing that she had not Undertaker's eyes…but Hunter's.
"I don't understand," I cried.
He put his dagger away and backed up from me. "When the lights shut off during my match with The Miz…my brother attacked me while Hunter set you free. Since my brother was very familiar with my powers, I turned into Hunter and laid in the middle of the ring, letting you three escape my wrath."
"You turned into Hunter to throw Kane off…you wanted him to think that you were with me the entire time!" I said.
He smirked. "I never came to that house until that following day. Hunter doesn't remember anything because I made him believe that he was dreaming….I'm very sly."
"You're a monster!" I snapped.
"A monster who you and your friends chose to screw with. Now…keep Shawn away from me and I'll stay away from you and your precious daughter."
I nodded as he backed away from me and disappeared. I couldn't believe we had all been tricked by the Undertaker….even Kane himself had no clue that his brother had tricked him. I held my baby close to my chest and turned around, only to see Hunter and Shawn staring at me.
I was about to tell them what I was told, but Hunter held his hand up. "It's ok Meg. We heard it all."
I looked down at Mia as Hunter walked up to me. "I knew she was mine the moment I saw her…I'm so sorry Meg."
"Sorry for what? It wasn't your fault you didn't remember. He tricked us both." I said.
Hunter nodded and then kissed my lips, and then our daughter's forehead. "I'm not going to let him hurt you again Meg. Mark my words."
Shawn chuckled, "Good luck with that…I refuse to let him intimidate me into backing down from him."
Hunter rounded on Shawn with fierce eyes. "You would rather put these two in danger for a match than to let it go? He beat you last year Shawn!"
"And he won't do it again!" Shawn snapped. "I made one mistake man…one mistake! And It cost me everything!"
Hunter sighed, "Listen to me Shawn…if you keep pestering him and something happens to these two because of it…you can consider yourself a dead man! Do you understand me?"
Shawn chuckled, "Oh I get it…you're letting a woman come between our friendship?"
I gasped, "A woman! How about the same woman who got you your damn match last year? A woman who has spent the last year in hell and turmoil so that you could have a great career? How dare you!"
Shawn gritted his teeth and then backed away from me. "Ok…you're right Meg, but damn it I feel like I deserve a rematch. I can beat him I know it."
Without another word, Shawn headed downstairs and out the backdoor, leaving Hunter and I with Mia.
"Here, let me take her. You still need to rest Meg." He said.
I nodded and kissed him after handing him our new baby. "I love you Hunter."
He smirked, "I love you too."
I went down to Hunter's bedroom and climbed into his soft bed hoping and praying that Shawn would do the right thing.
