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 felt almost his breath stop there and then and his heart skip a beat. "How the fuck did you know that?!" Christian yelled in disbelief and now started to super struggle in Edge's grasp.
"I already told you, duh Christian." Edge replied lightly. "Granted, I can only read minds of people I'm close to. Of course I can read yours, you're my baby brother."
"And how the hell do I know that you're the real Edge now?!" Christian pointed out while still yelling. "Why should I believe a word that you say and have said?"
Edge just smirked and lifted up his sleeve to his long black coat on one of his arms, still holding grasp of a still struggling Christian, and showed him a mark. "Remember this mark, Chrissy?"
Christian just simply nodded, automatically knowing what he was being shown.
"Got this from Halloween well over 13 years ago, wasn't it? Remember? You accidentally burned me from when we were about to light up the candle to put into the pumpkin."
"I know what it is Edge." Christian replied sternly, trying to get a grip on himself. "But if the person can shape shift then wouldn't he mimic things like that?"
"No, it can't copy exact details in certain areas, especially under clothing." Edge explained roughly. "They can however copy exact details of basic looks, like the face and everything and what the person looks like with clothes on. If I was a shape shifter I wouldn't have this, that's for sure. Not to mention he wouldn't know all the things about you and our lives like I do."
"And why should I believe that?" Christian snapped back with a frown, getting more and more frustrated with not being able to struggle out of the hold. "You lied to me to get me to come back down here."
"I did not lie!" Edge protested with a frown on his face. "I said I really needed to see you and couldn't wait till we got back together again, that's not a lie. And what do you mean you can't believe or trust me? I'm you're big brother, that's why."
"I'm even starting to question that." Christian muttered under his breath.
Christian shivered when Edge creepily slivered his head down from the top of his head to right next to his head and had a disturbing look on his face. "It doesn't matter, Chrissy. Soon you'll see it exactly my way very soon."
"The only plans I have are to get away from you!" Christian yelled and continued with his struggle, he needed to get away from this freaky vampire right now, even if he is his brother.
"You are coming with me whether you like it or not." Edge growled back into Christian's ear. "You're just acting like a childish brat. But then again, what else do I expect from you? You're just a little thing."
"Stop calling me that!" Christian almost demanded, cursing himself for not being able to wriggle himself away. "I'm not your child and I'm not a brat!"
"I've been taking care of you for so long it sure feels like it." Edge shot back. He then pointed out his long index finger on his right hand, which had an extremely long and claw like, finger nail and bent all of his other fingers. He raised the index finger and positioned it on Christian's right temple on the side of his forehead. His head was still next to Christian's left side and he gave Christian a quick affectionate peck on the left temple. Possibly some form of comfort?
Christian froze when he felt that and saw that Edge had an index finger slightly pressed up to the side of his forehead. He was confused, not understanding what Edge was doing. "Edge....... What are you doing?" Christian questioned softly, totally nervous from whatever answer he could get.
"Shh......." Edge virtually whispered. "This will only slightly hurt for a second......"
Christian's eyes super widened when he heard that line, nothing good can come from that line. "What are you doing?"
"Just putting you asleep for a little bit." Edge replied simply. "Make my job so much easier and that way neither of us will hurt the other, I can simply carry you. Besides, you're cranky. You could do with a good sleep."
"Don't know how old you think I am Edge but I hate to tell you that I'm all past the 'nap time' stage." Christian shot back, he didn't like being talked to like he was an infant, even if he was kind of being threatened at the same time. Christian then tried to move his head away from the finger that Edge had put next to the side of his head but virtually nearly side head-butted Edge.
"I said you're cranky and you need a sleep." Edge repeated firmly but was almost said childish like. Putting his finger firmly back on the side of Christian's head. Christian started to feel more and more pressure on the side of his head, even starting to make him feel drowsy. Edge must be hitting a pressure point or something in his head.
"The only one that's taking a sleep is you!" Yelled a new voice with a sickening thud sound and the next thing Christian knew was Edge's grip suddenly loosened and his hand dropped down from the side of his head. Christian watched out of the corners of his eyes as Edge's head drooped next to him. He wasn't totally sure whether Edge was completely knocked out but he was surely dazed or something.
"Get up, Christian." The familiar voice ordered from behind Christian.
Christian darted his head around to find Jericho standing behind him with a bat in his hands with an extremely concerned look on his face. "Jericho?"
"I took that as not being a brotherly hug." Jericho almost comically said and raised an eyebrow.
"Oh trust me it wasn't, at least from my side anyway." Christian sighed, pulling Edge off of him and he sprawled out next him, groaning slightly now while grabbing his head. "You always seem to have a knack for showing up when I need you."
"That's what best friends are for. Plus it's one of my star special qualities. Besides, I did say I'd give you an hour and assume something might've happened. Looks like my thoughts have been proven again." Jericho smirked, looking pleased with himself. Even though he wouldn't admit it to Christian, that hit on Edge was something that he'd always wanted to do, and it felt good. Jericho then leaned forward and grabbed Christian's hand and yanked him up off the ground quickly and started to walk off ahead, assuming Christian was behind him.
Christian gave out a small sigh, part of it was relief of him being rescued but another part of it was most likely disappointment. He gave a short glance down to Edge, who was still groaning, eyes shut and was showing that his head hurt and wasn't in his right mind. Who or what was this person that looked like his big brother Edge? Edge was a protective brother before but this was ridiculous. But even with him questioning that he still had brotherly feelings for him, guess this really was Edge and not the shape shifter. But all the same...... He was still a threat. Christian just felt conflicted feelings for his big brother and still knew that he had to leave while he had the chance.
Christian looked back up and started to follow Jericho's way to the door. Christian's world though all of a sudden came crashing back down to the ground when he fell down and roughly smacked his head on the flooring. But Christian didn't just trip up; a hand was wrapped around his ankle and stopped Christian leaving by making him fall over.
Christian was still conscious but was gasping and stunned. After a few seconds he felt a pain quickly rushing to his head and a warm liquid dripping down his face from his forehead area. Christian heard and saw a pair of shoes rushing towards him and knew it was Jericho coming back over in a panic.
Christian lifted his head slightly to look up to see Edge was just getting back up on his feet and had to be the suspect of tripping him up. Edge didn't want him to leave so he did what he felt he had to do. Edge was obviously still in a daze and was still gripping his head painfully; he looked over at Jericho and gave him a death glare. Both Christian and Jericho were shocked that he was back up and everything, for a common person that hit with the bat could've killed or seriously injured. Jericho was bent over trying to see whether Christian was alright and was deeply concerned because Christian took a hard bump to the head and was bleeding. Jericho unfortunately didn't get much chance to check him well before he felt Edge's death grip hand grab a piece of clothing and used it to fling Jericho violently to the other side of the room. All Christian heard was a heavy thump and glance slowly to the side to see Jericho had been slammed into the wall and barely conscious and lifting his head back up slightly to look at Christian.
"Well if it isn't the bad best friend that seems to love filling my baby brother's head with stupid thoughts." Edge spat, death glaring over at the slumped against the wall Jericho. "You've been turning him against me, making him feel like he needs no one."
"He..... Doesn't...... Need..... Help..... From anyone. He's his own person." Jericho stuttered back, his head finally coming back to his senses. He almost gulped to himself when he saw Edge; Edge was giving him an extremely dark and death glare. Edge obviously had other thoughts in his head.
"Blood is blood, can't change that." Edge replied smugly. "You're just jealous because you've got nobody that cares. That's the reason why you have to hover around my brother. We were perfect before you came into the picture as his 'friend'."
"Edge, just cut it out." Christian begged softly.
Edge just ignored his brother's pleas; he was far from done with Jericho. "I've hated you since the day I met you." Edge scowled. "I used to try to tolerate you, especially for my brother's sake, but now.... Looks like I don't have to, I've got a much better idea now to make you go away."
Jericho's eyes widened when a dark smirk crossed Edge's face and saw the most massive fangs he'd ever seen. He thought Edge had just gone crazy on Christian before, this proves Christian's worst fears in a nutshell, no wonder Christian couldn't get away. Edge then turned totally in Jericho's direction and started to take slow and glaring steps at him. Jericho shivered when he saw the look on Edge's sinister face and Edge let his long blonde hair hang over his face, darkening his facial features even more.
Christian was still led out on his stomach, feeling like he didn't have the energy to move at all, it was a struggle just to move his head slightly to look over. His head mostly just felt like a blur, he was struggling to just try and keep awake and focused. He knew he banged his head and it wasn't good to allow himself to sleep, it could be dangerous for him. After a few moments of trying to focus he saw Edge stalking over to Jericho and got the clear picture of what Edge was going to do. Edge wanted Jericho eliminated.
".... Uh...... Edge........ My head really hurts......" Christian groaned in an almost childish voice, hoping to get Edge's attention.
Much to everyone's relief it did, Edge turned totally around and looked down at his baby brother. Christian almost held his breath slightly when Edge looked down at him sharply, not knowing what kind of reaction and mood he was going to get. Especially from this Edge, his mood pretty much was off from the usual Edge, not to mention he had some serious mood swings. This Edge seemed to be able to be really grumpy and nasty but at the same time was being affectionate towards him; he'd hate to see what he'd do to others he really hated.
Christian let out a small breath when he saw Edge's head cock sideways a little and his face softened when he really looked at Christian. All of a sudden it was like Edge had totally forgotten about Jericho and headed over to Christian. Christian moved his face totally onto the floor again, not sure he even wanted to watch or look at Edge. Next thing Christian felt though was himself suddenly being swung over and onto his back, in like a fluke so much that his brain had barely chance to even register. He looked up in a daze to see Edge on his hands and knees hovering over him closely.
"I'm sorry, Chrissy...... You and your best friend got me mad and I couldn't just let you up and leave me...... I didn't mean to stop you like that..... But my head hurts." Edge sighed as he softly touched the region of where Christian hit his head. Christian shivered when Edge dabbed the edges of a few fingers in some of the blood that had streaked down his face and put it into his mouth. "Hm..... You know, Chrissy, there's no better blood than tasting your own families blood."
"Edge...... Please........ I'm sorry if I got you mad." Christian pleaded, realising he was in a seriously dangerous position and Edge could kill him at any given time. He knew it was most likely not the best plan ever having called Edge over here but there wasn't really much other choice; he most likely would've killed Jericho. He squirmed from Edge's touches, even if some were trying to be comforting. "Don't hurt me. Please......"
"Christian....... You know I could never really be mad with you." Edge continued to sigh. "Just wished you were a little more co-operative with my way of thinking."
"Your way of thinking?" Christian frowned. "I don't even understand what you exactly want, Edge. I came here to talk with you, nothing else. I thought that was what you wanted too but obviously not. You're not even the Edge I know."
"I'm still Edge, Chrissy." Edge frowned, looking offended like before when he was being questioned.
"No you're not!" Christian burst out of nowhere, partially showing he was upset. "You're not my brother! Not my big brother!"
Edge just looked at him as if Christian was just having a childish tantrum and was speaking ridiculous. Christian froze though when Edge suddenly leaned down and his head lingered in Christian's neck area. Christian started giving a silent prayer in hope of Edge not now being angry from his out of nowhere outburst and was going to bite him. Edge didn't, but did put his face right up into Christian's neck and was taking in his scent and was almost smelling and feeling the blood that was pulsing through Christian's veins. Christian felt his body automatically shiver from Edge's touch, his face felt ice cold against his skin.
"You're definitely my brother." Edge murmured, not moving from where he was. He placed a hand onto Christian's heart area. Even through clothing Christian could feel the sharp tips of Edge's hands, what he now liked to call 'claws', they definitely weren't human. "My DNA. You're the only one left with that."
"It takes more than DNA/blood to be my brother." Christian muttered, hating the feeling of Edge being this close to his neck.
"I know, we were the closest ever...... Even made it into the company together." Edge replied. "The only reason we even separated and started fighting was because of that stupid King Of The Ring tournament and personally..... I say to hell with it!"
"That...... Has to be the first time I've ever heard you say that." Christian muttered. "The King Of The Ring meant everything to you at the time, it also broke up our team with Rhino and Kurt."
"We all got to competitive at that stupid thing, and I didn't help. However, I did like it better when it was us as a tag."
"........." Christian didn't have the words to reply, he liked having Kurt and Rhino in their team. They were close friends with them too. He'd been friends with Rhino before even starting in the WWF.
"I can read what you're thinking, remember?" Edge butted in, lifting his head up off the neck area and started staring down at Christian, directly in the face.
"Yea....... You don't need to remind me." Christian grumbled under his breath, trying to dart his eyes off so Edge couldn't look at him in the eye.
"I know that you rely on your friends an awful lot."
"Their my friends! That's not a problem that I have closeness to certain friends." Christian protested in disbelief. Why does Edge feel the need to do a keen and well over done observation of every aspect of him? Edge sounded like he was just finding some things out but he should already most things about Christian, they both used to know every inch of what the other did.
"You need that though because you haven't got a family, except me." Edge continued to give his evaluation.
Edge kept his hand on Christian's heart, still feeling it beating, but used his other to whoosh over suddenly on the side of Christian's neck. For a moment Christian wondered what the hell Edge had done and why he just did that stupid motion. Christian suddenly felt a sharp cut feeling on the side, it wasn't really painful but it gave out a horrible feeling and felt more blood trickling out. It made him suddenly feel even more light headed than before, if that was even possible with his head currently injured. Next thing Christian knew, Edge was leant forward again in his neck area and felt him sucking up the blood into his mouth. Was this how he was going to die? At the hands of his older brother who just revealed that he was vampire?
"Get your dirty mouth off him!" Christian heard his best friend yell, in what felt like the background. Christian knew it was most likely just him fading and Jericho was most likely still conked out a little from the throw and yelling his ass off.
Didn't matter anyway, Edge wasn't paying a lick of attention to Jericho, who was still out on his butt. Christian wasn't totally sure what Edge was doing, why was he still alive? He watched Lance Storm die by Matt Hardy and it definitely didn't take this long to have it happen. Plus Edge hasn't sunk his teeth in, was he playing or toying with him or something? The second he thought that though he felt two sharp things scrap the skin softly, making Christian squirm and really try and push Edge off. Not that he really had much strength to do it with, hence why he was getting no results. But after a moment the thought finally hit him, Edge wasn't trying to killing him! He was trying to make him pass out!
Christian was having an extremely hard time being able to see and focus now, he wasn't going to last much longer. He didn't see the point in yelling at Edge, waste of energy and he wouldn't get anywhere.
All of a sudden Christian felt Edge's hand on his heart go limp and suddenly had Edge's body weight come partially crashing down on him. He gasped for breath, as if it wasn't bad before. What happened?
"You alright?" Asked another familiar voice above Christian.
Christian tried to focus and moved his head slightly to see Rhino hovering over him. "Oh....... Yea....... Just peachy......." Christian croaked in the best sarcastic voice he could muster.
"You're bleeding!" Rhino exclaimed, noticing how bad Christian's state was in.
"No crap, can you help me now? Please." Christian continued to force the words out of his throat.
Rhino nodded and easily managed to move Edge off the top of him and then proceeded to lift Christian off the floor. Christian however had lost too much of his senses to be able to stay balanced on his feet. Rhino then had to totally pick Christian up, realising how bad Christian was.
"We better take you to hospital or something." Rhino commented to Christian.
Christian didn't have the strength to say any different or argue with that option. He glanced over in Jericho's direction to see Lita helping Jericho to his feet. Jericho didn't look like he got it that bad, most likely just took a batter and bruising from being harshly thrown in mid air and into the wall. Christian also noticed the bat in Lita's hand and realised that she must've hit Edge with it, most likely the one Jericho dropped earlier.
"Yea....... We better get out of here before Edge changes his mind again." Jericho replied to Rhino's comment and half joked when he remembered how Edge was 'knocked out' last time.
"It was a stupid thing to come here, Christian." Lita scolded him, not that Christian was really overly listening to her.
"I'd scold him later, Lita. He looks a bit out of it at the moment to take anything in." Jericho pointed out, seeing his best friend being carried off baby styled by Rhino. He had to admit it was a funny scene and wished he had a camera, even if they were just attacked.
"Christian.........? Christian? Christian, how are you feeling?" Asked a voice that sounded far away but Christian tried to focus when he knew it was him it was calling for. "Can you hear me?"
"Don't go on at him." Scolded a female sounding voice.
"Don't start fighting, not now." Came another voice, making his words sound like a warning. "The doctor said he was going to be pretty out of it from the anaesthetic and blood transfusion. Besides....... If he is waking up it won't be for long anyway, the doc's will most likely give him some more painkillers and sleeping pills."
"Yea, I guess........ He needs his rest." The female voice sighed in agreement. "Hope he's going to be alright....."
"No really, I think he's waking up......." The first voice insisted.
"Hey, he's right." The other male voice said.
The blonde felt his eyes starting to flicker open and at first the images going to his head was extremely blurred and couldn't really make out much. But the more times his eyes opened and closed the more clearer the vision became, almost like glasses being fitted.
"Hey........" Greeted a voice he knew all too well, his best friend. "Christian...... How are you feeling?"
"Ugh........ Like I've........ Been........ Hit by...... A bus." Christian gave out in a massive groan.
"I know, I know." Jericho replied and noticed Christian almost trying to lift his head but was having trouble. "You better not do that, you lost a fair amount of blood back there. You need to rest."
"What about...... You?" Christian croaked in a barely forming voice.
"Don't worry about me!" Jericho scolded him. "I just got some nice massive bruises here and there, nothing too bad. Doctor's thought I must've landed the fall well."
"Good thing we came along when we did." Rhino butted in on the moment.
"Yea, we went out and had some more drinks and food after we were with you." Lita added in explanation. "We then got a text from Chris here saying he was worried because you'd been in there a hell of a long time and you weren't answering your mobile. He said he was going in and we took it upon ourselves to come along and check it out. Good thing we did too or else Edge might've owned your ass."
"He..... Wasn't trying..... To kill me....." Christian protested the best he could but still couldn't find his voice all too well.
"That's not the way I saw it when Lita hit him upside the head with that bat." Rhino retaliated and raised an eyebrow.
Christian was about to reply but Jericho got there to him beforehand. "Cool it, guys. You know he's just had a hard time and we haven't heard Christian's entire story, I think there's a lot more to it."
"Make...... Sure you....... Stay away from him..... At all costs....." Christian tried to warn Lita and Rhino.
"Why? Did he say something?" Lita frowned.
"He's a..... Well...... You know." Jericho butted in and tried to show the seriousness of his best friend's warning.
"No! You're kidding!" Lita gasped.
"Answers so many questions though about the recent him." Rhino grunted.
"Could...... I talk...... More about it...... When I'm feeling....... Better?" Christian asked, feeling exhausted. "There's....... A lot....... To talk about."
"Sure." They all said in unison and all look sympathetically at Christian.
"Look, sorry. I didn't mean to sound like I was having a go Christian." Lita apologised, now in a softer tone of voice. "I just wished you listened to us..... That's all. I'm just..... So surprised by Edge's actions when we came in. Thought he was purely attacking you for no reason......"
"How was...... I to know...... Edge...... Was one of those things?" Christian frowned, his voice just getting worse the more he talked.
"Ok, relax Christian." Rhino held up his hands. "You've just had a rough thing happen to you, you need to relax and get some rest. You had us all worried."
All three of them nodded to Rhino's comment, Christian could see that they all looked extremely concerned.
"We've told others and their most likely going to be visiting well...... Now later on in the day. Were all concerned." Lita continued.
"What....... Happened.....?"
"You don't remember?" Jericho asked.
"No...... All I remember..... Is what..... Roughly happened with Edge..... I think I..... Past out very soon..... After I saw you guys....." Christian answered.
"Wow, I didn't think he'd be awake this soon." Commented an unfamiliar voice that came from behind his three friends. A man in a white coat came forward and towards Christian, he must be the doctor. "You're a real fighter, Mr. Christian. Thought you most likely would be out for most of the day."
"That's my friend all over." Jericho replied smugly. "Nothing gets him down."
The doctor nodded and smiled. "I'm sorry, we're going to have to keep you in for at least a day or two, to keep an eye on you. It's for the best since you took an extreme bashing to the head and had a serious deep cut on your neck, very close to a stab kind but nothing quite as lethal."
Christian nodded slightly, taking it all in. "But...... What about....... My voice?"
"You were having trouble breathing and had to be put on the life machine and a tube down your throat for a while, it should be back to normal in the next couple of days. It just happens to some people on occasions." The doctor answered simply. "We did tons of scans and checkups to make sure there isn't any permanent damage on the brain and so far so good but we're going to keep check of that. We also took you into quick surgery to check, so far so good, and had to do some massive stitch work on your forehead and neck. You've got a bit of a concussion but that should hopefully pass without any problems, as long as you take it easy and get plenty of rest. I'm afraid it's best if you're off work for at least a couple of weeks."
Christian nodded, he was off work anyway, didn't really matter now. He also absorbed the information and did his best to understand it all with his current shape of mind.
"Now, please be aware later that the police will be coming in." The doctor continued to say his warning.
".... What?....... Why?" Christian croaked, not understanding why the doctor had done that.
"You've been attacked Mr. Christian." The doctor replied. "It's at least an assault charge and the police need statements. Plus in the same building the security guard was found dead, it has to be the same attacker. Your friends have already made rough statements and have said that it was done by your brother, Edge.... I'm sorry, I thought it best to warn you."
Christian nodded slowly and gave wary glances at his friends who all shook their heads, indicating they hadn't mentioned about the vampire thing. Which was a good thing considering no one would believe them and they'd all become permanent residents of this hospitals mental ward!
"Now I'm going to get the nurse to give you some sleeping tablets and some strong painkillers." The doctor continued. "You need to go and get more sleep. Could your friends please leave so you can have some peace?"
"I'm not going anywhere." Jericho shook his head in protest.
"He needs his rest. I can assure you he's very safe here, we've got security and everything to guard." The doctor persisted.
"No, I need to stay here with him." Jericho persisted too.
"I don't think......." The doctor tried to continue but got intercepted.
"Please, doc....... I'd feel much...... More relaxed.......... And comfortable if...... He was in....... Here with me." Christian pleaded, not wanting to be alone and by himself. It all fine and dandy the doctor saying there was security but they wouldn't last 5 seconds if one of the vampire trio got in here.
"Fine, fine." The doctor grumbled, caving in to Christian pleading. "But you two out."
"No problem." Rhino shrugged off, he was much happier now that Christian was awake and everything was confirmed that he was going to be alright. All Christian needed was to stay in here for checkups and get some serious rest, which he was going to make Christian do if he wasn't willing, he needed to get better.
"We'll come back later to visit, Ok?" Lita added. "We better get some rest ourselves, been up all night being concerned about you. And...... Don't worry. We'll stay away from them."
Rhino nodded at Lita's comments and both said bye and left the room. The doctor also smiled and left the room, leaving just Jericho and Christian in the small private hospital room.
"You....... Gave reports?" Christian asked, his voice still steadily going bad at certain points.
"Look, I know you're most likely not happy about this but there was nothing else we could do." Jericho tried to explain, hoping his best friend wasn't going to be mad at him. "There was CCTV footage and everything of us being in that building where there was a dead security guard and you were attacked. There was no choice, police got involved and we had to say it was him."
"I..... Understand...." Christian mumbled softly in his cracked voice.
"You do?" Jericho asked cautiously. He felt a slight surprise that Christian said that, he had been recently defending his brother and hated even bad mouthing about him.
"He did what....... He did..... Chris." Christian shrugged. "That wasn't....... The Edge I.... Know. He wasn't trying.... To kill me. He was trying..... To knock me out."
"But why would he want to do that?" Jericho raised an eyebrow.
"That's a question....... I don't have....... Answers for....." Christian sighed back, totally speaking the truth.
Looks like Christian's had a lucky escape from his brother Edge but does it just end there? Edge and the Hardyz don't usually give up that easily......
Hope you enjoyed this latest instalment for this story.
I'm going in for more surgery tomorrow and not sure when I'll be updating this or any of my stories but hopefully not too long. Wish me luck!
