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's eyes were fully wide now, expressing pure shock and fear. Felt his breath also catching from pure fear now. These were feelings that he'd never felt from his brother before, Edge would usually never make him worry and be in fear of him.
"Home? I've only just come back from Canada." Christian muttered, already sort of knowing that was not what Edge most likely meant.
"Hmm...... You don't understand but that's alright, you will." Edge returned in a creepy whisper.
"Edge. Get off!" Christian ordered, not caring how hard he was starting to wriggle and shove in his brother's grip.
Edge just put Christian in a death grip and there was no budging it. Christian was getting to the point where he could barely breathe in this hold, let alone being able to move at all.
"What are you doing?!?" Christian shouted. "Trying to do death by hug?!"
Edge loosened his grip ever so slightly but was still extreme. He continued to softly and affectionately stroke Christian's blonde hair and was making a noise between hissing and purring. At least Christian didn't have to worry that it sounded threatening! But the way he was speaking was creepy and threatening enough for Christian. Edge's head slid off the top of Christian's head and dips lower almost resting into one side of Christian's neck. Christian could feel him almost starting to nuzzle into his neck and was smelling his scent or something....... Christian started to feel panic raise up through him. The panic was clearly getting to Christian and he just stands stone dead still, unsure what to do and was just too horrified and shocked to move anymore.
Christian didn't know how long he'd been there for but it felt like a lifetime, most likely just a few minutes max. He had never felt this threatened by his own brother's presence, even though Edge wasn't making any clear threat. But he didn't need to.......... He'd already worked out what was going on from putting all the pieces together, this was too much like Matt and Jeff.
"I.... I...... I know what you are." Christian finally stuttered, finally able to find a part of his voice.
"I take it you mean this." Edge replied smugly, Christian could virtually hear the smirk on his face. Edge slowly lifted his head back up to look at Christian in the face and that's when Christian's fears were confirmed. Edge opened his mouth smugly, as if proud of what he was showing, and Christian clearly saw the larger teeth in their holders. But even while in their holders Christian could clearly tell that they were even larger than Matt and Jeff's. Was he more progressed than them? But how? He'd only just been missing.......
Christian had another feeling too, stupidity. How could he have been so stupid to not see this really coming? The clues and signs were out there, clear as day to be seen. His friends warned him, tried to protect him away from his older brother but he'd just thought they were jealous and interfering. But they were right, especially Rhino and Lita, they were saying about Edge's strange actions. But none of them understood what it was like to have a close relationship with their brother and thought they knew them inside and out. Christian thought he knew Edge pretty well, till now....... How long has he been like this? Was it really such a crime that he wanted to smooth things over with Edge?
"Please don't hurt me, Edge." Christian pleaded; he didn't want to die, especially like this. He didn't care as much when Matt and Jeff did it but he didn't want to die at the hands of his own big brother. "I know we haven't been on the best of terms in recent months......."
"And what makes you think I'd hurt you? You're my little baby brother." Edge replied with an amused look on his face.
"I am not little." Christian frowned in protest.
"Going blind?" Edge smirked at that.
"I'm not little!" Christian continued to protest. "And I'm not a baby!"
"You still are to me." Edge replied in a cooing kind of voice. "So young....... Weak...... And vulnerable."
"What the hell is wrong with you!?" Christian yelled but then remembered there was no point asking that question, he'd already covered that. He'd obviously been bitten and it was making him talk and act this way. "What you're saying isn't making any sense."
"It will make sense, baby brother." Edge repeated himself, sounding very certain of himself. "It's time to come home. Now. It needs to start and I want you home, with me."
Christian frowned at himself at that, he didn't understand and wasn't even sure whether he wanted to understand. But one thing he did know was that he didn't want to go anywhere with this Edge. He was not his older brother, like a stranger in his brother's body. He basically should see him as a threat.
Before Christian could say or think more he felt Edge's hands and arms shift positions. Suddenly Christian felt himself being totally lifted up, Edge's arms wrapped him in tighter hold as he lifted him higher and one hand pushed Christian's head gently into his neck, holding him affectionately to him with ease. Christian virtually couldn't move anything, except his legs that dangled slightly from being just off the floor.
Christian cussed to himself, he was stuck and Edge was starting to walk off with him in a death grip. He just wanted to get away from Edge as quickly as possible and put some distance between them. A thought suddenly occurred to him though; there was always the Hardy brother's strategy, from when he escaped from them. It was the only option, especially since he could only slightly move his legs at the moment. Cheap shot? Maybe. But what choice did he have? He couldn't just let his so called 'brother' carry him off to god knows where to do god knows what to him.
Christian felt his brother starting to walk more to the door of the office, not having a single problem with easily carrying Christian's total weight. Christian slowly lifted one of his legs backwards, trying to do this without grabbing Edge's attention before he actually did it. He then quickly swung it forward as hard as he could and hit Edge directly in the crotch. Edge immediately yelped and let go of Christian, then doubling over in clear pain from what his baby brother just did.
Christian immediately took his chance and darted out of the office as fast as his legs could take him. But soon realised a problem, he was lost. He was having a hard time remembering the exact route to the outdoors. It was so easy to get in, with the security guard repeating directions at him and he was in a stable mind. Right now this place was acting more like a labyrinth and there were millions of corridors to this building. Christian hadn't thought that this place was so big before till now........
"Christian........?" Christian heard the dark disturbing voice call his name; he could immediately tell who it belonged to, of course. "That was a naughty thing to do, Chrissy......."
Christian shivered from hearing that, the way Edge was saying that gave him the creeps. He couldn't see him anywhere though, hopefully not to close to him. He had no choice but to continue running, even though he didn't know where he was going, he couldn't let Edge catch up to him.
"Are you alright?" Another voice asked as Christian was rushing by. Christian stopped briefly and looked around him to see the security guard rushing over to him with a worried look on his face. "I heard shouting from the office when I was patrolling......"
"No. No I am not alright." Christian huffed, was a bit out of breath from running through the corridors.
"What's the matter?"
"Edge....... That's all I need to say." Christian replied, still a bit out of breath. "I just need to get out of here. It'd be best if you did the same."
The security guard gave the long haired blonde a funny look, as if he'd lost it or something. "I'm on the job at the moment, son. I'm not leaving."
"I'm just saying it for your benefit." Christian warned harshly.
"Why? What's going on? Did he attack you?"
Christian knew it wouldn't really be wise to call his brother a vampire; he'd just get laughed at. He just simply nodded in agreement that Edge had attacked him.
"Well that's just not very tolerated here!" The security guard frowned. "Which way is he?"
"You really don't want to find him." Christian muttered.
"Oh yes I do. I understand that he managed to get a favour from the owner of this building but attacking and fighting will not be tolerated here." The security guard shot back. "I knew he wasn't to be trusted, he was acting weird when he showed up earlier. Now point out where he is."
"And I mean it; you don't want to find my brother." Christian replied firmly, wishing that the security guard would take his word for it. "It'd just be best if we get out of here. Could you show the way out?"
Christian frowned when he saw that the security guard wasn't moving him towards the exit and saw him looking over his shoulder instead. Before Christian could say anything the security guard pushed past him. Christian turned around to watch the security guard and finally saw the guard going up to his target, Edge. Christian gulped and felt himself nearly stop breathing when he saw Edge had caught up with him and wasn't looking the least bit happy. Edge didn't even bother to give the security guard a glance, his eye contact just immediately jumped to where Christian was standing. His eyes just looked dark and creepy and his facial expression wasn't very much better.
The security guard went right up to the older blonde, which blocked his way to Christian, and put his hands on his hips and looked cross. "I heard there's been some fighting going on here." The security guard said crossly.
"Move." Edge grunted, glaring menacingly at the guard that was blocking him.
"No." The security guard shook his head and looked cross with Edge. "I will not tolerate you attacking your younger brother while I'm on the job."
"Attacking? Moi?" Edge repeated, raising his eyebrow comically at him, just looking purely amused. "I think there must've been some sort of mistake here. I don't ever 'attack' my baby brother and would kill anybody that would do that."
"That's not what your brother over there said."
"Well Chrissy got it wrong. Didn't you Christian?" Edge replied, trying to act that he was all innocent. When he asked the ending question he peered over at Christian, it wasn't threatening or anything but was so intense that it made Christian catch his breath. Christian was too stunned by the direct intense eye contact with Edge to reply. All Christian did was take a few slow steps backwards, just wanting to get away and out of Edge's line of vision. "See? Everything is fine, now move."
"I don't think so." The guard refused and remained in Edge's way when Edge tried to move past.
Now Edge wasn't looking so amused or happy with this. Both Christian and the guard nearly jumped out of their skins when they saw Edge's eyes flash red in anger. "I am giving you one last shot, little man. Go away! This is between me and my brother." Edge gave the final warning and loomed over the guard with a dark expression on his face.
"I..... I...... I will not accept threats!" The security guard protested in a stutter, was very proud of doing his job correctly and wasn't going to allow this tall blonde to push him around. Even if he was a little thrown off by the eyes flashing a different colour.
"Please....... Just do as he says......" Christian pleaded softly, not liking the way Edge was looking at the man. Edge could do anything to him while in this state and wouldn't give a hoot about guilt or consequences.
"You stay out of it!" The security guard ordered firmly. "I'm just doing my job!"
Edge looked even madder then and clearly showed that he was very cross. "Don't speak to my brother like that." Edge warned, his eyes looking dead serious and dark yet mysterious all at the same time. Edge suddenly grabbed the smaller than himself security guard by the neck roughly and lifted him up with ugly force. The guard tried to struggle from the grip but didn't get very far, of course. He also started gasping for air, finding it hard to breath with Edge's big hand digging into his neck.
"Let him go, Edge." Christian asked, trying to keep calm and not provoke Edge but at the same time make him let go before he suffocated the guy to death.
"Nope, Chrissy. I've got a much better idea." Edge shook his head and an evil smirk emerged on his face. He opened his mouth slightly with the smirk and let his fangs come out of their casings. "I'm very hungry, Chrissy. Looks like I've found a midnight snack to help."
The security guard's face was a picture when he saw the fangs come out. "Those can't be real!" He gasped with what breath he did have left in him.
"Oh really?" Edge replied comically. "It feels like they are."
With that he sunk his teeth into the neck of the security guard. The guard screamed and fought back the best he could in the first few seconds but didn't make a blind bit of difference. He became almost like a rag doll quick enough.
Christian just stood there for a few moments and just watched in horror at the scene. Then some of his senses started to click back in and started to almost jog backwards and getting ready to turn around and full out sprint. While Edge drained the blood off his latest victim his eyes were just permanently fixed on his petrified little brother. A smirk could still be seen on his face while he drank the remains and his eyes were almost doing an evil little smirk.
Christian turned and ran full speed down corridor, which was enough for him; he needed to get away as fast as he could. He didn't want to end up like that poor, now dead, guard. Christian heard a sudden hard and sickening thump hit the ground from behind. Christian already had a hint from what that noise came from, Edge possibly dropping the body.
Christian shivered to himself as he ran down the next corridor and started to pull on doors, in hope of finding one that was open and that he could hide in. After several attempts he finally found one and darted in it, he needed to hide. He saw an official looking large desk at the other side of the room. Christian ducked underneath it, into the massive leg space part of the desk, and was relieved that the leg space had a front wooden part covering, so no one could see him under there.
It felt like Christian had been hiding underneath there was hours, but in reality it was most likely only a couple of minutes. His heart was pounding so hard that he thought it could almost come out of his chest, the anticipation was killing him. Where was Edge? He couldn't hear any breathing or footsteps....... Then again he was a vampire! He wouldn't need to breath and god knows how softly this Edge could move.
Christian couldn't get the image of Edge out of his mind, those dark facial expressions and smirks at him. This Edge scared him; he was a murderer and killer without possibly a lick of remorse for what he did. This Edge just sees what he does as 'feeding' himself, food. He was dangerous and that made him very sad. Edge was still his big brother, he was just sad that he was like this and wished there was a way to help him. Christian let out a few odd tears. He wasn't sure what they were for though, possibly because he was scared for himself but could also be that he couldn't believe that his brother was like this now and was wondering where would that leave him even if he did manage to get out of here.
Christian was suddenly panicking when he heard some light footsteps in the room. He already knew who it most likely was and he needed to keep himself hidden. Christian held his breath also, hoping that would help him to not be noticed. After a minute or two Christian heard the footsteps die and let out a sigh of relief and took in a fresh breath for his oxygen starved body.
"....... I'm not really in the mood for playing games, Christian......" Came a voice and Christian felt horror and panic come back into him when Edge's face appeared in front him, he was bent down on the other side of the desk. "Not really much point anyway right now....... You'd only lose."
Christian's horror and being scared was clearly etched on his face, eyes looking wide at the person he called brother. Christian tried to scramble backwards the best he could by using his legs, trying to get the best out of Edge's reach.
Edge just cocked his head and looked amused at Christian. He leaned slightly forward and stretched out his arm and hand and held it out for Christian to grab. Christian saw Edge's hand was more claw like, which made him shiver even more because he knew what they were capable of. Edge didn't look so happy when Christian frowned and slapped the hand away from him instead of taking it. "Aww....... What's the matter with you, Chrissy?" Edge cooed. "Annoyed that our little game ended quickly and I was super good at finding you?"
"Don't touch me, Edge." Christian snapped back like an order. "How..... Did you find me so easily...?"
"Why? Mad at me for what I just did to the guard?" Edge replied in an innocent voice, pretending he was all innocent. "It was easy, baby brother of mine. I can track you down with ease, can smell you."
"Smell me?" Christian asked, a bit stunned by that response.
"Uh huh." Edge nodded. "You see, you're my own brother, flesh and blood. I can sense my own DNA a mile off, plus I know the scent of my own brother. I wouldn't be a very good brother if I didn't know your scent."
"I don't know who or what exactly you are......" Christian replied slowly, eyeing Edge up and down cautiously.
"I'm you're big brother, Chrissy." Edge frowned, looking even a little offended.
"Just stay away from me!" Christian barked back, he didn't care whether Edge hated what he was hearing or not; he just didn't even want to be touched by him.
"You're just being unreasonable." Edge shrugged off but did look like he was getting a little fed up by Christian's resistant attitude, couldn't understand why he wanted to be like this towards him. He was Christian's big brother, he should idolise him in a way and should trust him with what needed to be done. He should trust him full stop.
Without another word Edge started to try and lean in the best he could to grab Christian but missed by a mile shot, especially with Christian leaning back in the best he could. Edge cursed for missing him and being too big to get into the gap that Christian was in.
"Come on Christian....... This is being silly........" Edge sighed in frustration.
"No it's not! You're vampire! A blood sucker!" Christian yelled back. "You want to hurt me!"
"What!?! I would never hurt you, Chrissy!" Edge scowled in disbelief. Christian didn't have a clue whether he was being genuine or not but he was still dangerous and best not to go off with him. "Who's been filling your head with these stupid thoughts?!"
"They're not stupid!" Christian protested back, still pulling far back as he could and missing Edge's grabs. "You're a vampire! That's very clear to be seen!"
"I bet it was that bad best friend of yours, Jericho." Edge sneered, mentally picturing Jericho's stupid face. "Why can't you see that he's trying to split us up, so we don't get along anymore?"
"Have you lost it Edge?!" Christian yelled. "You. Are. A. Vampire! Blood sucker. Killer! You abandoned me when I needed you! It's nothing to do with Jericho!"
"We're still brothers! And so didn't want to leave you, I love having you near me." Edge protested. "My...... Sweet...... Little...... Baby....... Brother....... One I just want to have near me always."
"Edge......." Christian sighed. Yes, he still creeped the hell out of him but he was right, in a twisted way he was still his brother. He just didn't like how Edge said the last parts, he almost purred it out. Christian almost mentally slapped himself though when he reminded himself. He couldn't be feeling soft in any which way to him! He was a killer and extremely dangerous! Just like Matt and Jeff. He could just be playing with him, wanting to act all sweet to get a hold of him. For god knows the reason though, what had he done to be got at so much?
But during thinking to himself Edge's face had disappeared, he'd been to lost in his own thoughts and keeping himself pushed back enough that he hadn't seen him get up. Christian's head darted a little around, trying to see whether he could pin point him but nothing. Had he just left? He'd honestly quit without a real fight? Christian leaned a little forward to nervously look more but nothing, it looked like he completed moved himself. Christian breathed a quick sigh and did an intake a fresh breath of air.
Suddenly Christian heard a sharp sound of wood snapping from behind him and before he even had time to register what was going on he felt a pair of long arms wrap around his waist and pulled him back with ease. Christian got pulled backwards and through a now current hole where the front of the desk was boarded. Christian tried to struggle and stop himself from being pulled backwards but didn't work, the force pulling him back was to strong. When he'd been totally dragged through the hole and to the other side of the desk he tipped his head backwards to find his big brother had the hold on him and his head looming over Christian's. Edge pulled Christian totally right up to him and made him so he was sitting on his lap and Edge had him a protective and secure embrace from behind.
"This is much better, Little One." Edge whispered with a smirk on his face into a terrified Christian's ear.
Christian was absolutely terrified and looked like a deer caught in headlights. He was now stuck in the arms of a killer...... Better yet....... A vampire. As if he wasn't terrified before! Now he was in direct harm's way. He started to have a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. Edge could bite him anytime now. Does it hurt? Would he totally kill him like the security guard? Or could he even use his claws to hurt him? The 'Little One' crack was also enough to make him feel sick, it was clearly obvious that he could link Matt and Jeff to this.
"So weak and vulnerable......" Edge sighed to no one in particular. He then placed a hand on Christian's heart, happily listening and feeling Christian's heart beat. "Like a child that needs to be taken care of......."
"I'm not a child." Christian protested in a mutter, not wanting to upset Edge though, especially while he had a hold of him.
"You're the most specialist thing to me, Chrissy." Edge said it in a matter-of-fact voice. "So precious......"
"And why's that Edge?" Christian raised an eyebrow. "You weren't so bothered when our team broke up and I left and got shunned."
Christian almost felt Edge's smirk drop off his face, not happy with what he heard. "You just are." Edge replied sternly, sounding extremely certain of his words. "You want the truth about that?"
Christian nodded. He'd always wanted to truly know what Edge thought of when they split up. Christian had always roughly thought that Edge had wanted it to happen, even though it was himself that had done the betrayal that had broken them up. Christian had just felt like it was the right thing to do at the time, had thoughts in his head telling him he was going to be better off this way. Afterwards however...... He did question his decision a lot, even with reassurance from his friend's. Sometimes...... Did he even make that decision? Sometimes it felt like someone made him do it. Made him see things that weren't there.
"I was gutted when you did that." Edge replied softly, tightening his grip around Christian, as if he was worried that Christian would disappear from him. "But don't get me wrong, I don't blame you or hold a grudge over you for it."
"Why?"
"It's in the past, Chrissy. You told me, remember? You said that you felt like you didn't make that decision yourself..... Well, maybe you didn't. I understand, Chrissy." Edge continued in a soft, almost too peaceful kind of voice. "You thought I hated your guts after that, didn't you?"
"Well yea......" Christian started slowly but Edge intervened from him saying more.
"But there's one thing you have to know, I can never totally hate you. You're my baby brother." Edge continued. "What you didn't realise at the time was that I was still watching over you, while we were fighting. But you always looked caught up in your own bitterness, you might as well been blind, you never saw anything that was right in front of your face."
"I know......" Christian frowned, he'd finally realised all of this like a million years too late. He'd already figured this out, when he talked to Jericho about it, he soon realised that it weren't most likely him. Like someone was in his head. He believed the events were bad but yet only he saw it, everyone else saw things differently. "You were watching over me?"
"Of course." Edge replied in a childish duh voice. "Someone has to make sure you're not making trouble for yourself. Plus..... I do worry; you're just not at your best by yourself. I really do care, Christian."
"Who did this to you?" Christian blurted out suddenly, changing subjects.
"Wow, bit of a twist of subject, huh Chrissy?" Edge comically raised an eyebrow.
"Just answer my question, Edge." Christian replied bluntly.
"You're very rude you know." Edge commented in a slight fake insulted voice. "We were talking about our relationship and what was going on."
"And now I'm changing the subject Edge." Christian continued to speak firmly to him. "It's like what you said before......... It's the past. Pasts the past, it's over and done with. Time to move on and make a future."
"Past is everything, Chrissy, that's where you're so wrong. Past makes and breaks us, it's who we are."
"I don't want to remember anymore, Edge. It's been a horrible past; I just want to erase it. You say it yourself, that just proves how much you've changed........"
"It doesn't matter, the past cannot be erased." Edge continued to lecture. "And we will forever be brothers; I will always be your big brother. I'm like your father figure, Chrissy, I just loved taking care of you."
"I never denied that." Christian frowned. "But...... Things have changed now, Edge."
"Want to know what I think?" Edge asked but gave off the feeling he was going to continue anyway. When he said it Christian felt Edge press his hand a little harder into his chest to feel his heart beat.
Christian didn't reply, not really having any words to reply. He didn't trust the way Edge was talking anyway, this was definitely not the Edge he knew. Who was this guy that had him in a deep embrace right now? That was starting to feel like a real question, was it just Edge's body?
"You're starting to say these things because you're scared." Edge continued simply.
"I'm....... Not scared." Christian defended.
"That's not what you're heart beats letting on." Edge smirked; happily rubbing his face into the top of Christian's head and breathing in Christian's freshly washed hair. "Come on, Chrissy....... When will you learn about vampires and me? I can tell everything you feel and think. Your body motions tell me everything. Plus it always helps that I can read your mind."
Christian's eyes widened at hearing this. He could read his mind?! This is crazy! Was that even possible?
"Want proof? Ok." Edge continued, seeing that he'd gotten Christian right where he wanted him. "You were wondering whether certain vampires could shape shift. The answer is....... Yes. A very rare old few can. My sire can. Want to know the reason why I was so happy to see you and acted like I haven't seen you in so long? It's because I haven't, like those times in the hotel before I disappeared....... That wasn't me."
Uh oh, looks like Christian's in more trouble than ever and there is more to this Edge that meets the eye.
Sorry for not updating in a while, been busy with course work and such and haven't had much time. Anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter and will try to update soon.
