"Where's Kelly?" Eve asked Alicia as they looked around the club. They had just gotten out of the bathroom and Kelly wasn't where they had left her. She wasn't anywhere in the club in fact. They had been looking all around and they didn't see her anywhere.
"Maybe she went to the bathroom while we've been looking for her?" Alicia suggested.
"We would have seen her though," Eve objected. "Wouldn't have we?"
Alicia shrugged. "It's worth a look."
Well that much was true. "Stay here in case you spot her. I'll go back and look." Eve turned around and went back, side stepping the Bellas as they pulled Alberto Del Rio over towards their table. "Sluts," she muttered under her breath. Normally she wasn't one for those kind of catty comments but both Brie and Nikki did have a way of getting under her skin, both on screen and off. Why any of the guys put up with them would have been a mystery if she didn't then remember what usually happened when they got the guys alone in their hotel room. Yuck yuck yuck NOT a mental image I want…
She entered the bathroom and looked around. "Kel?" All the stalls were empty. Damn. She wasn't there. Sighing she went back out and headed back to Alicia-only to discover that Alicia wasn't where she left her now. "Oh for crying out loud…" She looked around and the good news was, Alicia wasn't completely missing the way Kelly was. She was just over flirting with Justin Gabriel, who looked flattered but not exactly comfortable. "Oh god damn it…" She about went over there to pull her off and then decided against it. If she wanted to do that shit then fine, whatever. She would just find Kelly on her own.
…
Kelly continued to try to scream despite the hand that was over her mouth and she began to desperately kick her feet as well. It really wasn't doing much good so far. Whoever had her was strong and not at all bothered by the way she was kicking the fuck out of their shins. They just kept carrying her like she weighed nothing, taking her deep into a dark alley. Her eyes widened and she tripled her efforts to get away. There was only one way this could go. She was going to get raped. She was going to get raped in some dirty alley and then possibly killed afterwards. Every episode of Law and Order: SVU she had ever seen started going through her head and it only added to her panic.
Once they were far enough in the alley the person stopped and put their mouth right by Kelly's ear. "Ssssshhhh…relax…it's me."
Kelly's eyes widened. She knew that voice. But it couldn't be…it wasn't possible…
The person turned her around and her eyes about popped out of her head when she saw that it was Ted. "Sssshhh!" He kept his hand over her mouth as she let out a scream of surprise. "It's me. Don't scream okay?" He sighed as she just stared at him in shock. "I'm going to let go of your mouth. Do you promise not to scream?"
Kelly found herself nodding. She didn't even know what the hell to think. Ted was supposed to be dead yet here he was, in the flesh. His hand felt cold and sweaty against her mouth, which made her wince and really want him to let her go.
"Good girl." He let her go and was immediately rewarded with Kelly's arms wrapping themselves around his neck. "Whoa! Kell…"
"You're supposed to be DEAD!" In the midst of giving him the hug she felt just how cold the rest of his body felt as well. It confused her but it was hard to give it more than a second though since this entire thing was confusing. "You were DEAD everyone said you were DEAD! Randy SAW you-"
"I am dead," he said with an ultra serious expression on his face. "Don't I look it?" He stared at her faltering expression before cracking a smile and shaking his head. "I'm kidding."
Kelly let out a nervous giggle but now she was eyeing Ted rather warily. The relief she had first felt was now turning into something else entirely. "You're supposed to be dead."
"I was. I was brought back-"
"But why wouldn't have anyone told us? I mean, they said did an autopsy on you and everything…" Her voice trailed off as she saw the look that came over his face. This so wasn't right. She wasn't sure at all about what was going on or how this was even possible, but everything in her was telling her to just get away from him as fast as possible.
"Kelly?" He drew her name out in a way that made her shudder. "What are you doing?"
"I'm um…I think I should tell the others you're back," she said, trying to keep her voice steady as she began taking steps back. "They should know you know?"
"Oh they don't have to know yet." Ted's tone was trying to be casual but the hardness in it was giving him away. "We could talk. Just you and me. It's been so long since we've talked I kind of miss it."
"I um…I do too." She was having an even harder time than ever keeping her voice anywhere near normal. "But um…I really think we should tell everyone else you're back." She started to try to make her escape and go back but she didn't get far. Ted grabbed her by her hair and threw her down to the ground hard. She screamed and tried to scramble backwards away from him. He quickly backhanded her hard across the face and got on top of her, pinning her wrists down above her head with one hand and using the other one to rip open his shirt. Kelly let out a short scream and tried to somehow wiggle out of his grasp but stopped when she looked at his stomach and saw something…moving? She could have sworn she was just seeing things but then it moved again. "Ted-"
Two flesh colored tentacles burst out of his stomach and she SCREAMED. The tentacles waved around above her for a couple of seconds before jamming themselves into her stomach. Her mouth dropped open and she tried to scream again but one didn't really come out. A choked whimper left her instead and her whole body began to twitch and spasm uncontrollably. Ted actually grinned as she let out another choked whimper and he pet her face almost lovingly. "Good girl…that's a good girl…"
…
Na-na-na, come on
Na-na-na, come on
Na-na-na-na-na, come on
Na-na-na-na
Come on, come on, come on
"Oh my god no," Phil groaned as he pinched the bridge of his nose. The drunk people far outnumbered the sober ones at this point and now they were really starting to get rowdy. "Not this song. Please god not this song."
"I know," Beth agreed. She and Natalya had gotten somewhat tipsy but they weren't nearly as far gone as some of the others. "This song has been completely overplayed. I can't even like stand it even more."
"I don't think it's too bad," Nattie chimed in. "But Skank One and Skank Two trying to rape Cooper over there is ruining it for me."
Feels so good to be bad (oh oh oh oh oh)
There's no way I'm turning back (oh oh oh oh oh)
Now the pain is my pleasure cause nothing could measure
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
"Umm….guys?" Cooper took a step back from Brie and Nikki, who were trying to dance all over him like a couple of strippers on a pole. "I'm gay, remember?"
"Not for your stepmom you're not," Nikki shot back in a snippy tone. Thanks in large part to Phil, everyone backstage knew Cooper's feelings for the one and only Mindy Stratus-and how dead James wanted him for it. The once tight Lawson trio had been splintered by Cooper's feelings for the raven haired beauty and his inability to accept that things could never truly go the way he wanted to when it came to her. James wasn't just in love with her; he was completely obsessed. Anyone who came too close to her was risking finding themselves unceremoniously booted off to the afterlife.
Cooper glared at her for that comment. "Why aren't you two hanging off Alberto anymore? He looked like he was enjoying the attention."
Brie rolled her eyes. "He's over talking to Rosa." She spat out the name like it was absolutely disgusting even to say. "It's like he likes HER better than us."
"Well…maybe she don't have herpes."
That comment got him two slaps in the face and the twins flipped their hair over their shoulder before storming off to go hang off Dolph and Jack Swagger, who looked more than happy to see them.
Love is great, love is fine
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Out of box, outta line
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
The affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more
(Oh oh ohh ohh ohh)
Cause I may be bad but I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air
I don't care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
"We should dance," Kaitlyn suddenly said, surprising and startling AJ a bit because she had been busy playing Tetris on her phone.
"Dance?" AJ took one look at the people that were up and around dancing and instantly felt awkward. While Kaitlyn was more like her than pretty much any other girl on the roster, if she decided to get up and dance she could at least look sexy while doing it. That wasn't the case with AJ herself. Not only could she not dance but she just did not have the look to really be dancing in any kind of club. She looked like she could still be back in high school. Nobody ever let her forget that. Normally she was pretty good at shrugging it off and making jokes about it. Not like everyone was wrong. But here, where she was out of her comfort zone, she suddenly felt horribly insecure with herself. "No. No no no no dancing for me."
"Why not?" Kaitlyn asked, grabbing AJ"s hand and bouncing up and down slightly. "Come on, I don't want to dance alone."
"I'll dance with you," Bryan volunteered, interfering on AJ's behalf. He didn't really want to dance with Kaitlyn but AJ really did look embarrassed at the thought of doing it so he figured he could take one for her.
"I-"
"AJ wants to stay with ME," Connor suddenly said, sticking his tongue out at Kaitlyn and hugging AJ even though she really REALLY did not feel comfortable with him touching her. "So take THAT!" He blew a raspberry for good measure and then rested his head against AJ's chest.
Na-na-na
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it (Na-na)
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it
Come on, come on, come on
I like it-like it
"Hey guys…" Jay paused to down the shot Mike had just poured for him "you remember that dance contest we had at the Christmas party a couple years ago?"
Morrison and Miz both immediately grinned. "Oh god yeah." Morrison was already cracking up as he tried to talk. "That was fucking amazing." It really had been something to see. The three of them plus the Hardys and Edge had gotten drunk off their asses on Everclear and had put on the dance competition to end all dance competitions. It finally had to be stopped when Adam and Jeff wouldn't quit giving out lap dances to prove who could do it better and Mor tried to take all his clothes off as he danced. "That was insane."
"You thinking we should do it again?" Mike asked.
"Hell yeah," Jay confirmed. He waved his hand for them to look around at the people surrounding them. "We gotta show these people how it's done."
…
Ted buttoned up his shirt and stared down at the unconscious Kelly. Her body had finally stopped twitching and he had no idea how long she was going to be out of it. Hopefully long enough for him to get her somewhere secluded without her waking up and screaming. He didn't feel like dealing with that. That god awful screech of hers killed his ears.
Once he was done buttoning up his shirt he scratched at a red pus filled sore on his neck before bending down and scooping Kelly up into his arm. One of her shoes slipped off her foot and fell to the ground but he didn't even notice. He just tightened his grip on her and took off, accidentally running into a trash can and knocking it over before disappearing into the night.
…
I'm loose (loose)
And everybody knows I get off the train
Baby it's the truth
I'm like Inception
I play with your brain
So don't sleep or snooze
I don't play no games so don't-don't-don't get it confused no
Cause you will lose yeah
"Ooooh my god," Phil said as he shook his head. Jay, Mike and Mor had put themselves in the center of the dance floor and were seemingly having some sort of dance off. Mor was going first and he had his hands behind his heads, swiveling his hips around like he was Rick Rude or something. "You're kidding me right? Please tell me they're not doing this."
"Oh they are," Beth confirmed as they watched Mor take off his shirt and actually try to belly dance. The Bellas, Alicia and Rosa all let out extremely loud catcalls and the Bellas even went over and started dancing with him. "I'm guessing this is the part where you start talking about debauchery."
"Stupidity is more like it," Phil said with a shake of his head. "Buuut I'm at the point where if they all want to make assholes out of themselves, I say let them. It's not me that has to live with the humiliation."
Natalya snorted. "Humiliation? Please. None of them have any shame whatsoever."
Now pu-pu-pu-pu-pump it up
And back it up like a Tonka truck
If you go hard you gotta get on the floor
If you're a party freak then step on the floor
If you're an animal then tear up the floor
Break a sweat on the floor
Yeah we work on the floor
Don't stop keep it moving
Put your drinks up
Miz pushed Mor out of the way so he could take center stage. What followed was one of the worst looking booty pops anyone had ever seen in their lives. It literally looked like he was just spastically humping the air. "What the HELL?" Cooper yelled as he put down his drink and nearly pissed himself laughing.
"Dude, THIS is how you do it!" Kofi barged in uninvited and did a booty pop of his own. His looked good…a little TOO good."
"Yo! Seriously WHY can you do that so WELL?" Cena yelled from the table he was at with Randy.
Kofi shrugged. "What can I say? My ass has more talent than Mizzie's here ever will."
Mike scowled as everyone else laughed at him. "Oh fuck OFF. At least I'VE won the WWE title. What have you won you fake Jamaican jumping bean?"
"Oooooh shit!" Dolph said obnoxiously. "Them be fightin' words boy!"
Pick your body up and drop it on the floor
Let the rhythm change your world on the floor
You know we're running shit tonight on the floor
Brazil, Morocco
London to Ibiza
Straight to LA, New York
Vegas to Africa
Jay decided that he had had enough of all the attention not being on him and sought to rectify that situation. He started busting out some break dancing moves Booker T had taught him way WAY back in the day and he was actually doing pretty well for himself. Everyone whooped and hollered in appreciation and he decided to try to show off by doing a backflip. He managed to flip himself around but then promptly lost his footing and fell face first on to the floor. All but two in the room collectively winced-Cooper and Connor just threw back their heads and howled in laughter.
…
"Kelly?" Eve was starting to get really really worried. She was back at the hotel in the room she was supposed to be sharing with Kelly because she thought she would have come back there. She had searched all around the club and hadn't seen the young blonde anywhere. The only logical thing would have been for her to come back here. She was nowhere to be found though. "Shit." She sighed and pulled out her phone to give Kelly yet another call. She had already called twice with no luck-and this time was no different. "Kelly please, sweetie, pick up the phone." She started pacing back and forth out of anxiety. "Did something happen when Alicia and I weren't in the bathroom? I would have left with you if you had just stayed put and talked to me." She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Call me back okay?" She hung up the phone and put it down on the bedside desk before flopping down on the bed and just laying there because she had absolutely no idea of what else to do.
