"Alix, Alix…" a deep voice whispered above Alix. She groaned and rolled over, not willing to give up her sleep just yet.
She drifted off to complete sleep again stood in the empty wrestling arena. She was standing in the middle of the ring, and all around her were completely empty seats. It was almost eerie.
All of the sudden, purple fog smoked fro the tops of the turnbuckles and the lights completely turned off. Alix whipped back and forth, trying to figure out what was going on.
With a sharp crackle like lightning, a dark figure appeared in front of Alix. It was too dark to tell who it was, but as the purple fog seemed to radiate light, it became easier and easier to see.
"Undertaker…?" she asked quietly and with a small gasp. Undertaker wasn't the type to scare her in particular.
"Yes." The figure laughed. "I'm here to kindly ask you to wake the hell up."
With a jolt Alix sat up in her bed, and the Undertaker was sitting in front of her laughing almost hysterically. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Edge trying to hold back laughter as well.
"That wasn't nice." She pouted as she sat back against the headboard of the bed in Edge's room. "Wait – you did that, right?"
"But of course m'dear." Undertaker smiled sweetly. "Now, what is it you called me up from D.C. for?"
Alix glanced over at Edge. He sat on the edge of one of the hotel room's kitchen chairs patiently and quietly just wanting to hear about whatever was up with the equivalent of his little sister.
"I didn't really want Edgey to hear…" she said quietly and awkwardly, wringing her hands together. "Part of the reason I called you here…"
"I'm not leaving my own hotel room!" Edge protested. "I have to pay some of the hotel fare – you can't make me leave it!"
Undertaker stood up straight, glaring directly at the Rated R Superstar. "You will be leaving this room right now, Adam Copeland." He said as the TV and lights in the room flickered on and off ominously as if a lightning storm was on the move.
Adam's eyes widened visibly in his seat as the Undertaker spoke and quickly high-tailed it out of the room. Alix tried to hold her laughter in just as Adam had done, and Mark chuckled, sitting back down on the edge of Alix's bed.
"Now why did you call me here, m'girl?" he said softly, ready to listen to anything Alix had to say.
"I dunno…" she said quietly and awkwardly, not sure how to start. "I guess the stress of being in the WWE is really starting to get to me is all."
"In what way?"
"Well…I'm sure you've heard of everything between me and Evan Bourne and Rey Mysterio." Alix barely choked out. Talking to someone like the Undertaker about relationship problems wasn't exactly something normal.
"But of course." Mark grinned. "Only everyone has."
"Well uhm…Evan kissed me today…" she said quietly, a blush filling her face. Mark's eyes immediately widened, a silent question of 'what all happened?' "I was heading outside 'cause it was snowing and all…and Evan was in the elevator. He decided to come down with me…after a little bit of just talking and walk – okay, talking and gimping, we decided to have a race down to one of the benches set up near the harbor. I slipped and fell right onto my ankle and Evan helped me up. He, uh, well he picked me up and took me over to the bench and when I wouldn't stop crying he kissed me…" Alix's blush deepened as her heart thumped loud and hard as she remembered the kiss.
"How sweet." Mark chuckled. "So what's the problem here? You like Evan, Evan likes you…"
"I like Rey Mysterio too." Alix squeaked, something growing in her throat trying to tell her to stop talking. "And I kissed him. …sort of. But I count it as a kiss and I don't know who I like more…especially because Evan is closer to my age in the first place but I liked Rey first and – "
Mark placed his hand over Alix's mouth and laughed quietly. "Shush. Jeez girl, you're a rambler. I can tell you that life isn't nearly as hard as you're making it. Not nearly."
"Then what do I do?" Alix shouted as soon as Mark's hand left her mouth.
The female Superstar only got more embarrassed. She didn't like being a noticeable one, and with that scream that she hadn't been expecting to be able to do with Mark's hand over her mouth; the neighbor's were beginning to wonder.
"I'm going to sound really cliché for a second, but just follow whatever your heart says." Mark shrugged, ignoring Alix's outburst. "In most cases it'll lead you in the right direction, if not to the right destination."
"I don't know what it says…" Alix whined. "I've loved Rey for longer, but Evan is just so sweet and actually likes me back…"
"Keywords in that sentence." Mark winked. "Like and love. Look who they were paired up to, and that'll start you on your road to wherever the hell you're trying to get to."
Alix's face showed one of shock as she realized what she had said. 'Loved Rey,' and 'Evan is just so sweet and actually likes me.'
"Two completely different words." Alix said breathlessly. "I-I didn't even realize…"
"Well I do hope that helped." Mark grinned. "Is there anything else or were your relationship troubles enough to drag me down here?"
"It's just really the overall stress of everything." Alix sighed. "I haven't been here for that long and yet I haven't gotten much airtime because of my injuries. It's just pissing-me-off-worthy…and oh so irritating."
"Look, I'll pull in a favor and make sure you don't get mixed with Del Rio. He's an animal and isn't someone to be paired with when you're a newbie." Mark growled quietly. "Next?"
"I think that might be it." Alix laughed. "I guess it's high time I go get Addy…he's probably still mad we stole his room…"
Mark chuckled and handed Alix her crutches, who was already halfway standing up and ready to zoom out of the room as soon as the crutches were under her arms.
"Edge!" she called as she hobbled down the hallway. "Edgey! Edge! Addy-poo!"
With no response Alix swore under her breath. Was really hoping that last one would gross him out enough to respond…
All of the sudden she heard a groan from down the hallway and she raced towards it. As she got closer, the X-Stinger realized that the groan was coming from none other than Edge.
"Adam!" she cried as she fell onto her knees in front of the Master Manipulator. "Adam! Edge! Can you hear me?"
"Unrh…" he moaned, covering his eyes with his hands. "Got to me…couldn't…couldn't…couldn't get my fight out…"
Alix almost smiled at his last sentence. Adam practically had two people within him, Adam and Edge. Edge was his fight. She almost smiled. Almost. Before she caught herself.
"Shhh, shh, shh Addy." She said quietly. "Who did this to you?"
"Can't say…" he muttered, his face going paler. "They'll go after you if I tell…won't let them get to – "
"Quiet Adam." Undertaker said from behind Alix. She jolted as she turned slightly in order to face both Adam and the Undertaker. "I'm taking you to the hospital. Alix, I do believe you said something about going to the Raw house show tonight…?"
Alix looked up at the clock on the wall near her and Adam and the Undertaker. Shit…It was time for her to be getting to the arena.
"Adam, I'll be there for you as soon as the show's over. I promise."
AN: Again, sorry for the delay…I promise you that I'm not losing interest in this story. I wrote it all out in a notebook but then got too lazy to type it up…Mom brought her work laptop home and I typed up something roughly like I had written during our snow week. ^_^ And here it is. Hope you enjoyed!
