Chapter 10: End of the Were-Boa

Normal POV

The day was filled with angst and worry as the wrestlers waited for night to fall and for confrontation to ensue. To them, the hours felt like they were going at a snail's pace. Some members of the crew paced around the house while others tried to do various tasks to keep their minds off the oncoming danger. Some even went out into the area to see if they can find the were-boa before it found them, but to no avail. Currently, it was 9:30 at night as their wait continued.

"We searched this valley and the valley over the mountain. No sign of that damn were-boa! We can't even smell him anymore!" cried Adam as he, Lita, Kofi, and Wade walked into the living room after finishing their search.

"That thing knows how to hide its tracks." muttered Cody as he crossed his arms.

"I seriously hate waiting. We're practically sitting ducks right here in the middle of the valley." said Sheamus as he turned away from the TV.

"Does that creature even know that we're here in this house?" asked Kelly Kelly as she and Alicia walked out from the kitchen.

"I hope not." said Layla as she rocked back and forth in her chair.

"Where's Monica?" asked Wade as he looked around the room.

"Upstairs with Amanda and Randy." answered Ted as he finished the last of his beer, gaining a sharp look from Kelly in the process. "What?"

"Do you really think it's a good time to drink a beer at a time like this?' asked Kelly as she sat down next to the seer.

"Hey! I'm just a seer. I just have visions. I won't be that much help when the were-boa comes around!" said Ted as he waved around the bottle. "Besides, I've only had this one beer."

"Don't doubt yourself Ted. You are way more helpful than you give yourself credit for." said Kaitlyn as she shot him a knowing look.

"Like how?" asked Ted as he raised an eyebrow.

"You always help out in a money issue." suggested Cody with a shrug.

"Okay, besides my visions and my knack for always having with me wherever I go, how am I helpful?" asked Ted as he put his bottle on the ground.

"You . . . are a great friend and is always there to listen to what other people say and you also give good advice." said Cody as nodded his head.

"Thanks for making me feel a little better Cody." said Ted as he tipped his beer bottle to him.

"You're welcome dude." said Cody as he shrugged. Wade took this little distraction as his time to go up the stairs unnoticed. He walked down the hallway to his room, but didn't find Monica there. He walked over to Amanda and Randy's room and knocked on their door.

"Yeah?" called Randy's voice from within the room.

"Is Monica in there?" asked Wade as he crossed his arms.

"Yep! Come on in! The door's unlocked!" answered Randy. Wade opened the door and stepped into the room to see Randy lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling while Monica and Amanda were sitting on the ground with their legs crossed Indian style and their eyes closed.

"What the hell is going on here?" asked Wade as he walked over to the three, but abruptly stopped himself when he hit his foot into an invisible force.

"Bloody hell!" cried Wade as he jumped on one leg while holding onto his other foot.

"Watch out for Amanda's new invisible shield." said Randy as he looked up smirking.

"Why does she have that shield around herself and her sister?" asked Wade as he dropped his injured foot to the ground.

"They wanted absolute quiet while they used their psychic powers to search around the area for the were-boa mentally." answered Randy as he checked the time on his watch. "It's 9: 45 now."

"And still no sign of that damn were-boa." muttered Wade as he put his hands in his pockets. "Randy . . . can I ask you something?"

"What?" asked Randy bluntly as he sat up on the bed.

"How did you two do it? How did you and Amanda here easily transition from best friends to boyfriend and girlfriend? Wasn't there a little awkwardness in the whole thing? I'm just asking." asked Wade as he rubbed his hairy chin.

"Why do you want to know?" asked Randy as he was slightly taken aback by the question.

"I got dared by the guys to ask the question. We all were curious to how your relationship seems to have looked, I don't know . . . easy. Usually, when two best friends start a relationship, its starts out a little awkward at first, but with you two, it just happened like it was a normal thing to do." explained Wade as he shrugged.

"You and the guys . . . are weird." said Randy bluntly as he crossed his arms.

"Just answer the question damn it!" said Wade as he let out a heavy sigh. "It's hard for me to ask this question as it is."

"Fine," said Randy with a shrug. "You really want to know how it's this easy for Amanda and I? . . . It's simple really. It's because we're mates."

"It has something to do with you two being mates?" asked Wade as he slowly walked over to the window. "I don't follow."

"Yep; when two people become mates, it doesn't matter if the two people were previously best friends or absolutely hated each other, once the eyes change color, you officially become soul mates and that's that in vampire tradition." said Randy as he looked up at the ceiling.

"That really doesn't answer the question." countered Wade as he turned to the Viper.

"Well . . . it's kinda hard to explain. As soon as we became mates, the dynamic of the relationship I have with Amanda just . . . shifted I guess. We went from being best friends to boyfriend/girlfriend just like that." Randy furthered explained as he rubbed his chin.

"And I guess you wouldn't have it any other way right?" asked Wade with a small smirk as he turned to the twins, who never even budged throughout the whole conversation.

"Trust me; I'm perfectly happy with how everything turned out between me and Amanda." said Randy as he turned to look at Amanda's still form.

"Too bad Amanda didn't hear you say that. That shield is absolutely soundproof isn't it?" asked Wade as he walked over to the shield. He carefully reached out and let out a sigh of relief when he touched the smooth invisible surface of the shield. "I still can't believe she took it from that dumbass, bloody vamp Sergei just like that. How is it possible?"

"I have no idea myself." said Randy as he got off the bed. "And I don't really want to ask the actual Anaconda how she did it. You?"

"I'll steer clear from that." said Wade as a sheepish look came across his face. He took a step back when he felt the shield begin to disappear. Both the girls eyes fluttered open and they looked up to see their respective boyfriends looking at them expectantly.

"Well?" asked Randy as he crouched down to the floor. "Any luck?"

"Not at all" answered Amanda with a sigh.

"It hates the fact we're in his 'territory', yet we can't even find its mind in this area. Like it doesn't exist." said Monica as Wade helped her up to her feet.

"Maybe we got lucky. Maybe it realized this territory does not belong so it decided to give up and look somewhere else." suggested Wade as he crossed his arms.

"If it was only that easy." muttered Amanda as she got up by herself and walked over to the window. "Where could that creature be?"

"Who knows?" asked Monica as she walked over to the door. "Sadly . . . all we can do is wait."

"I bloody hate waiting." muttered Wade as he walked out the room.

"Why do you say 'bloody' all the time?" asked Monica as she joined him in the hallway.

"This is my way of expressing myself in a proper profane way." answered Wade as he crossed his arms.

"Oh . . . so it's because you want to remain proper in you verbal speech?" asked Monica as she raised an eyebrow at the British man. Wade shook his head yes for an answer. "Don't you think it's ironic you want to remain proper in speech, yet you do things physically, like wrestling and bare knuckle brawling, that is, I don't know . . . not proper?"

Wade's face lit up in surprise and realization as Amanda and Randy shot each other surprised glances.

"Does that mean Wade's a hypocrite?" asked Randy as he pointed toward the Brit.

"Nah . . ." answered Monica as she shook her head. "I think he's more of a . . . conflicted gentleman."

"Conflicted gentleman?" asked Amanda as she raised an eyebrow. "Yeah . . . that'll work."

Suddenly, a rock the size of a fist came crashing through the window beside Amanda, taking the four by surprise. Amanda instantly collapsed to the ground when she felt a stinging pain near her left eye and on her left cheek, arm, and shoulder.

"AMANDA!" yelled Randy in alarm as he quickly ran to his mate's aid. He pulled her away from the window and over into the hallway.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED UP HERE?" yelled Adam as he ran up the stairs with Lita and Kofi right behind him.

"GET BARBIE UP HERE!" yelled Randy as he used his shirt sleeve to wipe away the blood that was coming down the left side of Amanda's face.

"'Manda, are you alright?" asked Monica as she crouched down next to her older sister.

"I'll be fine." muttered Amanda as she pulled out a small piece of glass from a large gash on her shoulder, letting out a pained hiss as she did so. "The rock through the window definitely took me by surprise."

"Ugh guys! I think I know who threw that rock!" called Wade from within the bedroom. Kofi and Lita walked into the room to check it out.

"What's going on up here?" asked Kelly as she followed Adam toward the three. When she got a good look at Amanda's face, her eyes widened in horror. "What happened to Amanda?" she asked horrified as she knelt down next to Randy.

"A shattered window happened," answered Randy as he moved his bloody sleeve away from Amanda's face. "Can you handle the rest?"

"Definitely" said Kelly as she brought her hand over to the cuts on Amanda's face. A light blue glow began to emanate from her hand as her eyes began to glow a light blue. Amanda let out a sigh of relief as she felt the wounds begin to heal. Knowing that Amanda was in good hands, Randy left the three in the hall and walked back into the bedroom to see Kofi, Wade, and Lita crowding around the broken window; drops of Amanda's blood scattered around the tile floor.

"Is it out there?" asked Randy as he felt his anger begin to flare up. Wade turned around and nodded his head.

"See for yourself man." mumbled Kofi as the moved away from the window. Randy took his spot and looked out into the night to see the were-boa crouched on a rock a few feet from the gate that surrounded the house. The were-boa was staring right at them from its position on the rock before jumping off and slithering into the bushes.

"It's probably surveying the place to see where it's the best spot to attack." mumbled Wade as he crossed his arms.

"Or it's trying to see if it can cut off all our exits." countered Lita as she walked out the room.

"You think Amanda will be able to summon up a shield large enough to cover the house? You know, give us some cover?" asked Kofi as he turned to the others.

"That's actually not a bad idea. Will she be able to do it?" asked Wade as he turned to Randy.

"I . . . have no idea." muttered Randy for an answer as he turned away.

"It's not too late to find out." said Kofi as he nudged his head over to the door. Randy took the hint and walked out the room and into the hallway. He let a sigh of relief pass his lips to see that Kelly was already mostly done with healing Amanda's wounds. Monica was nowhere in sight, but her voice could be heard downstairs.

"How's it going with the healing?" asked Randy as he crouched down to their level.

"I'm just about . . . done." said Kelly as she moved her hand away from Amanda's arm

"Thanks Barbie." said Amanda as she surveyed the wounds to see there was not a trace of them in sight.

"You're welcome" said Kelly as she got up and walked toward the stairs, leaving Amanda and Randy alone in the hallway.

"Are you seriously alright?" asked Randy as he put his hand on the shoulder that wasn't injured.

"I'm fine Randy. I'm just really annoyed that I was this close to be blinded in my left eye." said Amanda as she slowly got up from the ground. "And I'm also annoyed that now I have to buy a new window to replace the broken one."

"Good to know you're in good spirits," muttered a sarcastic Randy as he too got up to his full height. "Amanda, do you think you'll be able to create a shield large enough that it'll cover the whole house."

"Are you serious?" asked a dumbfounded Amanda as she stared at him wide eyed. "I've only stretched it large enough to cover the size of a bathroom. I still need more practice."

"Well . . . it was a worth a shot." muttered Randy as Wade and Kofi walked out the bedroom.

"No dice?" asked Wade as he looked at the two unsurely.

"No dice." answered Randy as he walked over to the staircase, the others right on his tail. The three descended the staircase into the living room to see all eyes on them.

"It's good to see that Amanda made it out okay." said Cody as he let out a sigh as he paced around the room.

"Too bad about the window though." said Ted with a shrug. He took a quick peek out the window to see the were-boa stalking around right outside. "What do we do? It's right outside as we speak."

"How about we start out with a distraction? The were-boa is as fast as a vampire, so we can have Randy distract the were-boa while a few of us walk out through the back door, circle around the house, and hide out in the shadows till we spot an opening." suggested Kaitlyn as she looked around the group.

"There is the possibility that the were-boa may have a good sense of smell. It could sniff us out while it's fighting Randy." countered Alicia as she turned to Kaitlyn.

"Yeah . . . that's all I got." said Kaitlyn as she leaned back in her chair.

"I'm usually a loner, but I don't mind taking one for the team." said Randy as he looked around the group. "Besides, Kaitlyn's idea seems to be the best one we have."

"If you want to go through with this Randy, you are going to need some back up." said Adam as he crossed his arms. "I hope you don't mind, but I'm coming along, bad back or not."

"If you want to, then go ahead. But it's your back, not mine." said Randy as he scratched his head. "Any other volunteers?"

"Amanda, maybe your new shield ability will be of some use." said Lita as she turned to the psychic.

"That may be the case, but I'm going to need to use it from higher ground. I'm not taking any chances on level ground with that thing." said Amanda as she walked back up the stairs. "Monica and I will establish a telepathic link between everyone once we get to the roof. There's a small door that's connected to a ladder in the middle of the hallway ceiling which leads to the roof. Anyone who thinks their powers will be more useful long range should come with us."

Cody, Ted, Sheamus, and all the girls except for Lita followed Amanda up the stairs, which left Lita, Adam, Randy, Wade, and Kofi the only ones downstairs.

"Even you Sheamus?" asked Kofi as the Celtic Warrior walked up the stairs.

"Hey fella, I know when to fight up close and when not to fight up close, and for me, this is not the time to fight up close." said the Celtic Warrior as he disappeared into the hallway.

"Ready to go?" asked Randy as he turned to the group.

"Lead the way lad." said Wade as he gestured toward the foyer.

"Never thought a guy known for leading lackluster stables would actually say something like that." muttered Edge as he raised an eyebrow. Kofi and Lita tried to stifle their laughter as Wade sent a cold look down his way.

"Not right now Adam. Not right now." muttered Wade as he crossed his arms.

"Focus guys." said Randy as he walked into the foyer. The others followed suit and silently walked out into the night. They took a quick peek at the sides of the house to see that the were-boa was nowhere to be seen.

"It must be hiding itself and its smell. Wade, can you smell it out?" asked Randy as he scanned the area.

"Nope; not even my hypersensitive nose can trace it out. How is that possible? It's like it can turn its smell off and on at whim." said Wade as he sniffed the air.

Do you see anything down there? Amanda asked telepathically to the group.

Not at all; it's not in the backyard is it? Randy asked as he snuck a look at the roof.

Not at all fella; we don't see it in the backyard. Sheamus answered with a sigh as his head peaked out from the roof.

"Where could he be?" asked Wade as he looked around the area.

"Who knows?" muttered Kofi as he crouched down to the ground.

Amanda, Monica, try another area mind scan. It has to be around here somewhere. Randy suggested as he began to pace around the group.

Got it! The twins said in unison as they went to work. While that was going on, the wind started to pick up.

"Wow it's getting chilly out here." said Kofi as he pulled his coat closer to his body.

KOFI MOVE! The twins telepathically yelled in unison. Kofi reacted just in time, moving out the way before the were-boa could take a swipe at his chest. The were-boa landed a few feet away from the group, staring coldly at them as its tail moved around its body wildly.

"Nice call twins!" called Edge as he went into full transformation, Lita and Wade soon following suit.

"Thanks!" they called back from the roof as their heads peeked up from the roof.

"You . . . did not leave! You will all die!" said the were-boa in complete disgust as its claws elongated.

"Not in a million years!" said Randy as his fangs began to show.

"Fine . . . DIE!" cried the were-boa as it ran at inhuman speed, but not at Randy. It ran for the only female at ground level.

"LITA!" cried Adam as the were-boa appeared behind her. It moved to strike her in the back with its tail, but it was stopped thanks to an invisible force. The were-boa clawed at the shield, but it would not give an inch.

"Nice save 'Manda!" called Lita as she backed away from the creature. All she got in response was a dark hand giving a thumbs up signal from the roof. Randy soon moved and tackled the were-boa to the ground. The were-boa managed to break free from his grip, but when it got up from the ground, it was met with a bolt of lightning right to the gut, sending it back into the stone fence.

"BULLSEYE!" cried Kaitlyn as she pumped her fists in the air.

"LET ME GO NEXT!" said Sheamus as he stood up from his perch on the roof. He outstretched his hand and the plants near the fence responded. The plants began to mold itself around the paws of the were-boa, keeping it in place. The were-boa cried hysterically when it soon figured out its predicament, but it couldn't budge an inch.

"Release . . . me!" it yelled as the five wrestlers on ground level walked closer to it.

"That depends . . . you going to give up on this whole territory issue and stop attacking people?" asked Edge as he crossed his arms.

"My land . . . not yours!" said the were-boa as it continued to thrash wildly.

"Dude . . . we're just visiting!" said Randy as he rubbed his chin tiredly.

"Why are you so adamant about this area being your territory? We're you here first?" asked Lita as she crossed her arms.

"It doesn't matter if I wassss here first or not, thisss land iss mine!" cried the were-boa as its tail thrashed around.

"It's delusional . . . Let's just kill it already and get back to our vacation!" muttered Wade as he checked his claws.

"Like I'll let you do that!" cried the creature as it suddenly broke free from its prison. It leapt over the three werewolves, shapeshifter, and vampire and ran straight for the house, climbing onto the side of the house to get to the roof.

"CRAP! HE'S GOING FOR THE OTHERS!" yelled Wade as the group made their way over to the house, all of them climbing up the side of the house as fast as they could. Randy managed to be the first one up to the roof, but stopped at the roof's edge when he saw that the were-boa was caught in a clear bubble that was hovering in between him and the others.

"Amanda can't stretch her shield to cover the whole house, but she can seriously manipulate it so that it could create a were-boa cage." said Adam in amazement as he climbed onto the roof.

"LET ME OUT!" cried the creature as it began to claw at its cage, but to no avail. The cage remained sturdy, but the pained look on Amanda's face told Randy that she wouldn't be able to hold it any longer.

"Sis won't be able to hold the shield much longer." said Monica as she observed Amanda's face.

"What do we do about the were-boa? It won't be long before the shield gives." said Layla as she crossed her arms.

"I have the feeling once that shield gives way; that were-boa will instantly go for 'Manda." said Kofi. Randy followed his stare and saw that the creature was shooting daggers Amanda's way.

"I have an idea, but Amanda, you need to keep that shield up as long as you can even when it gets too hot." said Monica as she looked at her sister.

"Don't tell me you're going to use pyrokinesis on this thing!" said Monica as she opened her left eye to sneak a look at her sister.

"Yeah . . . I am." said Monica.

"How much practice had you had in that mental ability?" asked Wade as he crossed his arms, sneaking an unsure look at his girlfriend.

"A little bit of practice, but it's the best idea we have so far." said Monica as he closed her eyes.

". . . Do it." said Amanda as she crossed her arms after giving the idea some thought. "And make it quick. My hold on this shield is starting to slip."

Everyone instantly backed away, all of them unsure of how well Monica's powers would be, especially since she said that she's only had a little bit of practice. Amanda outstretched her hand and instantly began to picture an image of the were-boa on fire. She snapped her fingers and a loud, blood curdling scream was instantly heard throughout the night. The younger twin opened her eyes to see the were-boa engulfed in flames as it tried to find an opening out of its clear cage, but Amanda was still hanging in there.

"BURN BABY BURN!" sang Lita, Adam, Ted, and Cody as smiles crept across their faces as they watched the impromptu reptilian bonfire. Randy ran over to the twins, soon followed by Wade right behind him.

"How long can you keep the bubble up?" asked Randy as he stopped at the twins' side.

"Probably another minute." said Amanda as she put her hands to her temples as the were-boa's cries began to die out. "I need to throw this burning carcass somewhere . . . and fast."

"There's a spot filled with a whole bunch of rocks over on your left by the garage. You can throw it there." suggested Wade as he pointed over to the spot he found. Amanda instantly complied and stretched out her hand, moving the bubble from the roof and over to the designated spot. She let out a sigh of relief as she discontinued the sphere, dropping the husked carcass into its rocky grave.

"You okay?" asked Randy as he wrapped a comforting arm around his girlfriend/mate.

"I'll be fine." said Amanda with a tired sigh as she pinched the bridge of her nose. She looked at her sister to see that Wade was right behind her with his arms wrapped around her waist. "You actually did come through with the pyrokinesis after all."

"Of course I did. What did you expect?" asked Monica as a smug smirk came across her lips. "By the way, nice to support me and my pyrokinesis guys!" exclaimed the younger twin as she watched as a few of the guys walked over to see where the body lay.

"Hey . . . we were just being careful. You are the less experienced twin after all." said Ted as he looked over the roof's edge. "Hey! The body turned to dust!"

Randy, Wade, and the twins looked at each other before walking over to see if what Ted said was true. What they saw was the outline of the were-boa's body filled in with huge mounds of dust.

"Huh, Ted's right." said Amanda as she let out a yawn. "Now that this has been settled, how about we all celebrate this occasion by a good old trip to the beach tomorrow?"

"Seeing our girls in bikinis? . . . HELL YES!" sad Adam as he pumped his fist in the air. Most of the guys agreed to his statement, EXCEPT Randy, who was actually smirking as he thought up the image of Amanda in a bikini.

You do know I see that right? Amanda asked telepathically as she shot a look at the Viper.

I figured you would. Randy thought back as he looked at Amanda. Amanda let out a small chuckle as the two followed the others back into the house, the were-boa problem officially handled.

Please review!
