Dawn Of The New Brood
This is my 1st wrestling fanfiction I've ever done. I've watched it for well over 9 years, personally loved the older stuff so I'm writing into more of those areas. I wanted to write something different from what I usually write for a change, try something new. Plus I loved The Brood, as most people I have my favourites and their one of mine. This is around 2001-2002 area, after Edge and Christian split up and the alliance had been tackled down. But with Christian still having his long hair : ) I don't own the people, just created the plot and what's in it, not what really happened in story lines.
A mysterious blood bath happens after one of Christians matches, he didn't do it but who did...? Return of The Brood? What's really happening and who's returned and why? And... Why are some people going missing?
Christian did his traditional thing of flinging his heavy bag over his shoulder and sighed. That shower made him feel a little better at least... But sadly his mind was still racing. He saw Lita's points though, there was something odd about Matt and Jeff's personalities since coming back. After he really thought of it and remembered the incidents with each brother, he was soon to realise that yes both were acting weird and clinging to each other but their personalities were still very different from each others. Matt acted more... 'together' and mature and seemed to love being in control. While Jeff acted more childish and emotional, much more high strung but yet had still showed that he was caring at times but only with his brother, he couldn't really care about anyone else's well being. And that obviously included Lita...
Christian left the room and carefully locked it behind him. He started to walk down the corridor that led to the exit but stopped for a moment when he saw that Matt and Jeff were standing at the end of a turn off. Both were blocking the corridor, supposedly 'unintentional', and were chattering happily to each other, both looking quite excited about whatever they were talking about, Jeff more than Matt. Christian blew a heavy sigh to himself, they really weren't making it easy on him avoiding them, were they? Oh well, what could they really do to him? Besides, they were acting nice to him anyway, even though he had no clue why. Christian pushed himself forward and walked up to them.
"Mind?" Christian asked in a annoyed tone of voice, grabbing Matt and Jeff's attention and made them turn around and glare at him.
"Hmm... You sound annoyed." Matt observed with the same dark expression that seemed to be imprinted on his face now a days.
"Oh! I know why! You really don't like that Jarret, do you?" Jeff added in a more happier tone. "But that was my fault, right? In the match. I wished I did better damage on him now, made him go away more permanently."
"... I have no idea what you're going on about but keep your ass out of my matches!" Christian yelled back, most people would've been stunned or would've jumped out of their skin from that response but the both of the Hardyz didn't move or react, kept the same expressions and stared almost sweetly at him. "I mean it." Christian added when he saw that he didn't get the serious desired response.
"Uh, you're totally over reacting." Jeff sighed. "I'll make sure to get them really good next time. That Jarret does really deserve more though, we really don't allow people like him cheating on you."
Christian just stood there for a second, purely stunned. He just told them not to do something and Jeff just responded that he was basically going to do it anyway but 'better'. "Didn't you get what I just said!? I said no!" Christian shouted yet again, hoping the loudness would finally sink into their brains. "I don't know what the hell you two think you're playing at but cut it out! And if you don't mind, could you not make it sound like a love affair!"
"And sometimes maybe you should just be happy and accept help." Matt tutted back at Christian, almost scolding him.
"Yea, solo really isn't that great." Jeff agreed with his older brother. "In fact, it's better to be with others that can and will care for you."
"And what's that got to do with you?" Christian snapped back. "I'm not in a group anymore and Edge is the only real family I guess I've got, and right now... I'm not interested in either at the moment."
"Tut, family should really mean everything to you." Matt tutted softly. "Not that it matters much anyway, you can try and make them hate you as much as you want, and I have to give you credit there because you're really trying, but you can't break that kind of bond. You can break friendships and such but blood bonds are permanent."
"And it's got nothing to do with you." Christian grunted and frowned. "Nothing I do has got anything to do with you two."
"Ya see, that's where you're so wrong." Jeff replied slyly, almost getting to close to Christian for Christian's own personal comfort. Christian started to try and lean away from Jeff, starring at him suspiciously.
"Jeff! Stop it!" Matt snapped in quite a quiet tone but still very blunt, making Jeff back off and the two glared at each other. Matt almost giving Jeff a warning, possibly because Jeff was about to say something he wasn't supposed too.
"Fine. For now." Jeff almost hissed with annoyance. "But I'm not saying the same for that Jarrett."
"Whatever. It's none of my concern on what you do to anyone else." Christian hissed back and changed subject, turned sarcastic towards the end. "And what were you two so happily chattering about before? Excited because they released new hair colourings for Jeff to try?"
The two glanced at each other for a moment and Matt nodded at the most slightest degree. Jeff's mood was quickly lifted, as quickly as it had come, and he was happy again. Obviously loved the subject and didn't care about Christian's sarcasm.
"We were discussing a really good subject actually." Matt replied, almost in a smug sort of way.
"Yea. We've decided on having a new brother." Jeff added on happily, his excitement clearly showing.
Christian just frowned and was in massive question in his head, he didn't even know how to respond to that. Brother? Deciding? Huh?
"Is something wrong?" Jeff questioned when they didn't get a response.
"Brother, huh?" Christian finally replied. "Isn't you're mum a little... Old to be having children..."
Matt and Jeff looked at each and almost gave a dark giggle in unison to each other. Christian just stood there with a question mark stamped on his forehead, not getting what they meant and why they thought it was so... Funny.
"Aww... Christian. Are mum's not pregnant." Jeff replied softly with a massive smirk on his face.
"Then..." Christian started in question but was cut off.
"Father has decided it's not going to be just us two and has decided that there will be another." Matt replied with a dark smile on his face. "But then again, he's planned for this arrival for years and was chosen ages ago."
Christian just stood there for a second, trying to take it in on what Matt had just said to him, but the more he repeated it the more confused he got. "I don't get it..." Christian finally said blankly. "You can't plan a arrival for years and you don't get to 'decide' on who and when you get a family member. Is that for some kind of story line or something? Because if it is, Vince is really losing it."
Both the brother's just laughed darkly at Christian's reply, not making fun of him... Just thinking his reply was a little silly, like Christian should understand what they meant already.
"Oh, Christian! Don't be so silly!" Jeff sighed.
"Don't worry." Matt added, now serious faced. "You don't need to get it now, you'll understand soon enough."
Christian just felt like the more he talked to them the more confused he got. These seriously couldn't be the same pair as last week, could they? For starters, he wasn't even on speaking terms with any of that lot after his 'betrayal' to Edge. Plus, just last week Matt himself accused him of causing his own mysterious Blood Bath and Jeff was talking about having the same things happening to him as he was getting. And now they were come out with all of this... Had they totally lost their fucking minds!?
Christian was about to open his mouth when he heard his name get called and turned around a little to see his older brother come up. "Great... And what do you want?" Christian almost spat, couldn't they see that he'd had enough already?
"Christian..." Edge breathed, trying to catch his breath. Edge had that revelation in his dressing room and had been rushing all over the place in search for his brother. If there was any possibility of their old team mate coming back Edge had to make sure his brother was alright, good chance was that Christian would be one of his targets. Not that he shouldn't really be that bothered... Christian hated him and the look on his face right now expressed that anger.
"What!?" Christian barked. "Haven't I had enough of you weirdo's today?"
"Listen. You need to come with me now." Edge replied, giving Christian a deadly serious look.
"Go away!" Christian snapped back with the most massive frown he could muster.
"No, you see Christian... That's not going to work this time." Edge shot back. "Now."
"Get lost!" Christian continued, not interested in talking to his brother.
Edge glanced over at what was his good friends, standing there in half a 'tut' expression and the other half in amusement. Edge suddenly had a bad feeling about those two, something wasn't correct... He felt that they were almost... Dangerous. But they were fine just last week... But he was hardly going to come out and verbally accuse them or anything.
"Well, well, if it isn't our pal Edge. Huh, Jeff?" Matt commented comically.
"Yep, you should go easy on him Christian. He's your own flesh and blood after all." Jeff added.
"I told you, what I do is none of your business!" Christian shot back at Jeff. Jeff didn't make a verbal reply, just gave a dark glare at Christian, almost like he was earlier when he was in that mood. It was a very creepy, observing and haunted look, enough to send chills to most normal people.
"Oh what? You're not going to start hissing at me and telling me to get lost." Edge started in a sarcastic voice, directed at Matt and Jeff. He didn't want to argue from that line Christian had just said, he wasn't going to get very far if he added his part there. Plus... Jeff's dark glaring at his younger sibling was giving him the creeps.
"Oh, so Lita's been to see you then?" Christian interjected, knowing he'd just heard all about that.
"No. Why would we do that to you?" Matt frowned.
"And why would you do that to Lita?" Edge shot back. "She's you're girlfriend. Now Jeff won't even let her into your combined dressing room?"
"Because she has no business in there." Jeff replied bluntly, giving Edge a sharp look.
"I have more pressing matters to think about now." Matt replied simply, as if that was all that needed to be said.
"Yea, because oh big blonde headed brother of mine they've 'decided' to have a new brother." Christian butted in with a sarcastic tone.
"Huh?" Edge was just as confused as Christian had been after listening to that.
"None of it matters." Matt replied bluntly. "You'll both understand soon enough. And as for Lita... Well, let's just say we don't need her anymore. We'll soon have all the people that we'll ever need."
Christian just pulled a distasteful look on his face, not liking what he was hearing. "I don't know what's happened to you two over the course of a... Week. But you two really need to take you're own advice on not breaking up from people."
"Family and blood bonds are all that matters. Enough about Lita, she is no cause for our concerns." Jeff replied swiftly and then turned to his older brother. "Matt?"
"Yes?"
"I'm starting to get hungry." Jeff almost said it like a little kid to an adult. Matt didn't seem to have any problem with it though and closed his eyes and nodded.
"Very well." Matt replied, eyes still closed as if he was super concentrating.
"Well that's very good because me and my brother here have got to get going anyway." Edge replied bluntly and grabbed Christian's wrist.
"Hey..." Christian started to protest but stopped when Edge pulled his face close to his ear.
"Shh... I'm really not pissing around with you here. Need to get out of this place." Edge whispered firmly into Christian's ear and for once Christian listened to his older sibling. Christian just wanted to really get away from Matt and Jeff and their creepiness and out of this disturbing building. Even if it was with Edge for the moment... "Away from them..."
"Yea, I'm off." Christian piped up and let himself be dragged off by the wrist from Edge. Edge and Christian cautiously looked back but continued to move as fast as they could, both feeling something wrong with being around them.
Matt and Jeff just stood with sneaky smirks on their faces as they watched the two other brother's leave the corridors.
"Well that was a nice chat." Matt smirked in a sarcastic tone.
"It'll be alright. Christian just needs to get used to us." Jeff replied with a smirk, not having a care in the world.
"And he sure will, more ways than one." Matt nodded. "Now... Meal time?"
"Starved." Jeff smirked. "But I've got the perfect way to kill two birds with one stone."
"Hmm? Speak to me." Matt encouraged, liking the sound of that.
Just as Matt finished his sentence they heard whistling from down the corridor, a few yards away. Both looked in the direction to see the person who was causing the noise.
"Jarett." Jeff replied simply. "Perfect timing."
"Jarett." Matt repeated his brother and smirked, immediately getting what his brother meant.
"Finish the job I started earlier tonight." Jeff's smirk grew darker and darker as he spoke. "Teach him a lesson, not to cheat on our Christian."
"Let go of my wrist!" Christian demanded and tried pulling it out of Edge's grasp. "I'm not a little child crossing the street!"
"We need to talk." Edge replied bluntly, not letting go of his wrist.
"And I said no." Christian snapped. "The only reason why I even left the building with you is because I wanted to get out of that disturbed building quickly and away from those two creeps."
"And so you should, there's something not right about them two."
"Tell me about it, the more I talk to them the more weird they get."
"Drink?" Edge suggested, ignoring Christian's blunt words earlier.
"No, Edge." Christian continued to protest with a massive frown. "Go away!"
"Like I said earlier Christian, that's not going to work on me anymore!" Edge shot back with sternness.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Christian frowned.
"Oh really?" Edge replied in a sarcastic voice. "Because I think you do."
"You're just losing it, just like those Hardy'z." Christian shot.
"No, ya see. I've cottoned on to what you're doing." Edge persisted.
"Is this some kind of game, Edge? Because I'm really not in the mood." Christian once again tried to force his wrist out of Edge's grasp but failed.
"I'm not playing any game, Christian!" Edge shouted with annoyance loudly and looked deadly serious. "And I'm not going to let go of your wrist till you talk to me. Now, drink?"
Christian gave an angry gaze into Edge's eye's for the moment, possibly contemplating what to say and do next. "Fine." Christian finally huffed. "Only if it gets you off my case."
"See? It's much better being nice, isn't it?" Edge replied in a sarcastic tone and gave a mock smiled. Christian didn't give him a verbal answer and just gave him an annoyed glare.
Christian sighed heavily as he scooted himself into a nicely cushioned booth and scratched his wrist a little bit, which now ached after Edge had been yanking on it and not letting go. Both the brothers had gone into a cosy bar not to far from the wrestling arena building. Christian felt better about that, at least he wouldn't get lost on his way back to his hotel. And now, Christian had just found them a seat while Edge went off to get them both drinks. Why didn't he just make a run for it now? Edge wouldn't notice till he came back and by then you'd be long gone. But then again there was a part of him that felt like he didn't want to be alone... But he couldn't complain about that! This is what he asked for!
"Here we go." Edge said, startling Christian a bit out of his thoughts. He set the two drinks down and pushed Christian's forward towards him.
"Right, now you've got me here. What?" Christian huffed, bringing the drinking more towards him.
"Like I said. We've got to talk." Edge reminded his sibling as he sat himself down on the booths opposite side seating.
"Oh yea? About what?" Christian questioned. "We're not even 'buddies' anymore, so why talk?"
"Stop it, Christian." Edge frowned, making it sound almost like a demand.
"Stop what? The truth, isn't it?" Christian sharply replied, taking a sip of his drink.
"Only because you're trying super hard for it to be that way!" Edge snapped. "And I want to know why. Why Christian? We were doing so well together."
"No, no we weren't. You only thought that it was going great, it was like you're blind." Christian protested. "You should be thanking me, not hounding me."
"Oh? And why's that?" Edge questioned, wanting to get some decent answers from Christian. One's that didn't involve them physically fighting or Christian doing something bad to his possessions.
"You've finally got me out of your hair." Christian replied. "Let's face it, I was dragging you down like dead weight. You couldn't wait to start your 'brilliant' solo career, I just decided to do the same."
"I never said I wanted to go solo, Christian!" Edge replied in disbelief.
"You didn't have to!" Christian shot back.
"God! Christian I don't get you. This isn't you, it's the jealousy talking. You've let it totally consume you, it's not making you better it's making you worse." Edge snapped back, hoping to knock some sense into Christian.
"I am not jealous!" Christian replied angrily.
"Now look who's being blind." Edge shot back.
"Are we done now? Had enough of taking shots at me?" Christian replied gruffly, almost getting ready to stand up and leave the booth. He didn't care whether or not he'd finished his drink.
"No. We are not done." Edge said sternly and warned. "Get up from that seat and I'll just follow you, I won't leave you alone till this is finished."
"What the hell is your problem?" Christian sighed heavily with anger clear in his voice. "I just want to move on, that's what you want isn't it? Why can't we just drop it?"
"It's not as easy as that, we're still brothers..."
"..." Christian for once was quiet, possibly not having a verbal response to that.
"Things were fine up until the King Of The Ring tournament." Edge tried to continued softly.
"... Still rocky even leading up to that." Christian sighed.
"Then why didn't you say something?" Edge pushed on.
"Don't know..." Christian continued to sigh, not looking at Edge in the face.
"Yes you do."
"I tried to ignore it... But you were just getting worse and worse, till I thought that it would just be better for the two of us to part. Have no contact with each other." Christian finally forced out.
"And that's why you did the betrayal things, wasn't it?" Edge replied, now acting like he knew all the answers. "You had to make me really hate you or else I wouldn't have let us split, and you knew it. And you let jealousy overrun you, influence you to cut off the ties. You could've just talked to me... Why didn't you?"
"I've already answered that." Christian reminded him. "I can't... Pin point on why I did it. It was like... I had a voice inside, guiding me to do those things and I didn't totally disagree with it so I went through with it. Thinking going solo is better for the both of us, and I was right. Wasn't I? Look at how far we've come along. It wasn't a total bad thing for either of us."
"Christian! We could've done both!" Edge gasped. "We could've been solo at times and tag at times, there was nothing stopping us there. In fact that would've been a good thing, teach you to learn to stand on your own two feet and to not be in a group all the time. All of this was unnecessary!"
"Suppose." Christian grunted, nearly finishing his drink.
"You can take the mask off now." Edge added.
"Huh?" Christian questioned, looking up at his older brother.
"Don't bother to act like you totally hate me and love being by yourself all the time." Edge explained roughly. "No one likes being by themselves all the time."
"..." Christian didn't reply, most likely because he was being forced to admit defeat. He hated it when his older brother acted like such a smart ass.
"Come on." Edge replied simply, grabbing Christian's attention firmly. "I've also got something else to talk to you about."
"Something else?" Christian replied, pondering face. "Why can't we just chat here?"
"I really would like to discuss this one in..." Edge quickly darted his head around to make sure no one was listening. "Private."
"More private than what we were just talking about? I don't think there is something more private than talking about our problems."
"Please." Edge pleaded with him. Christian looked at his brother for the moment and sighed heavily and nodded to go ahead.
"Suppose. We could go back to my hotel or something, it's not to far from here." Christian grunted.
Edge got up from his seat and while his back was turned from Christian he let out a small smile. Happy to finally get some of that out, hoping Christian will loosen up even more with time. This was definitely progress. Well... Christian talked a little bit about it instead of clamming up, sat and listened to him a bit and they didn't really shout at each other.
The elevator dinged and the double doors opened, the two brothers motioned themselves out of it.
"Which way?" Edge asked briefly when seeing the millions of directions that could be taken.
"Straight ahead, the best room of course." Christian directed smugly and started walking down the corridor he'd just said.
"Of course." Edge mimicked jokingly, knowing Christian wouldn't settle for less than the best anyway. He'd always been like that.
Christian ignored it, he wasn't in the greatest of moods but he felt like he might as well hear what else Edge had got to say for himself. Not having any idea what he wanted to talk about in private. He felt a little defeated now after the conversation in the bar, a lot of what Edge had said was true and knew he couldn't deny them when their facts.
They stopped at a door and Christian then started to dip his hand into his pockets to find the card key for his room's door. He soon found it and sighed as he slipped it through the lock, getting the door to unlock automatically. Christian stepped himself in quickly and Edge waited outside a second, suddenly felt a cold chill that ran down his spine. He soon snapped out of it when he heard his brother scream and yell in pure horror.
"Christian!" Edge called out as he pushed through the door and walked himself in. He looked around and realised that his brother was in the bedroom, who was still yelling in horror. Edge ran to where he was hearing his brother and rushed into the bedroom area. "Christian... What's the matter?" Edge asked when he found Christian in a pile on the floor in a shocked daze. Edge didn't get a response and followed Christian's gaze to see what was the matter and felt himself gag when he saw the problem. He quickly pulled out his mobile phone and clicked 999 and explained the situation quickly over the phone. He dropped to Christian, trying to get him up off the floor. Yes, he was as horrified as Christian but not in such a daze and felt as the older brother he needed to stay more 'together'.
The room was a total blood bath, blood was splattered everywhere. All over the bed, furniture, flooring and all the way up the walls. On the bed lay what looked like a male body, the body had been slashed at with what had looked like claw marks and two bite marks on both sides his neck. The whole room looked like a blood bath... It almost looked like somebody had slushed extra blood over the body, so much so that there wasn't an inch on the body that wasn't covered in the stuff.
"It's Jarrett..." Christian whispered in a horrified voice, he was close to gagging.
Edge let go of Christian for a second, not having much luck pulling him up off the floor. Edge put a hand over his mouth and nose, the smell of blood and death hung on strongly in the air, it made him feel like vomiting. When he stood up he saw a single piece of paper that lay on the edge of the massive double bed that held the body. Strangely not a ounce of blood had been gotten on it, it lay on a rare area of not having any blood. Looked very carefully place, to careful... Edge walked over gingerly and grabbed it quickly, not wanting to be anywhere near the body on the bed. Edge glanced at what was written on it and looked more horrified than ever when he finished. He marched over to Christian, who was still on the floor, and forced the piece of paper into one of Christian's hands. This snapped Christian out of his trance a little and looked up at his older brother in question.
"Read it." Edge instructed, as he once again grabbed Christians arm and finally managed to yank him up off the ground.
Christian tried to steady himself on his feet and pulled the paper close enough to his face to read.
Christian,
This is what people get for cheating. He was a great meal though... Hope you enjoy the present!
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Christian's eye's widened in horror after reading that and dropped the paper to the floor, looking down at it as if it could come alive. A few seconds later he vomited purely from the shock...
"Christian..." Edge started to ask softly, as he patted his younger siblings back. "Who did this?"
"I have no idea..." Christian finally replied and turned away the best he could so he didn't look at the body and scene. He had no idea who would do this... Meal? This person that did this couldn't be human... Especially with those gross claw marks, they looked almost animal like. But he couldn't get the image of those bite marks out of his head...
Let the horror beginning, hehehe. I felt that I really needed to start putting in the horror scenes now and have. Hope you like : )
