Chapter 18: Fallen Angel by Poison (XD Thank you ShAdY for the help!)
Mel sat there, in the same chair for three days, well two and a half days but still three days. Her hair was tangled, thanks to Scott who decided to drag her into the hotel room right after Xander and Jodi went to see Randy before his match up against Shawn; her eyes were red for crying watching Allie's past come and run her out of the building and it was just sad that Jodi didn't know what really happened between Allie and her twisted loon father.
She groaned, feeling the rope cut into her raw wrists still bringing tears to her eyes. The fact that she was sitting in a dark room alone was hard enough but being caught in the middle of two psychotic guy's rooms and if she did anything they'll find out about it but it wasn't worth the time of… She shook her head getting the images out of her head looking up seeing the door open.
(That's what you get belongs respectfully to Paramore!)
"Pain, make your way to me, to me. And I'll always be just so inviting. If I ever start to think straight, this heart will start a riot in me, let's start, start; hey! Why do we lie to hurt so much? Oh why do we lie to hurt so much?"
Mel watched the little girl walk in, listening to her ipod bobbing that red hair with the music knowing she was upset about what happened. She sighed, lowering her head trying to keep her cool with out snapping at the daughter from one of the loons.
"That's what you get when you let your heart win! Whoa. That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa. That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa. Now I can't trust myself with anything but this, and that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa."
She blinked seeing Jodi stare at her closing the door. She stared back as Jodi stepped forward. "Jodi," She softly said watching those green eyes glare at her.
"What?" Jodi snapped, taking a glance in the full length mirror running her hand through her wavy red locks finally tossing it into a messy bun looking back at the captive girl in the room.
"You're upset aren't you?" Mel questioned lowly seeing those green eyes of hers glare watching her walk up to her.
"How do you know I'm upset? You don't even know…"
"I know my friend Allie to know you, Jodi." Mel sighed, closing her eyes feeling the ropes go deeper into her skin.
Jodi shook her head, "No, you can't she wouldn't know…"
"She raised you didn't she?" Mel snapped shooting her head back up seeing the little girl's eyes lower. "Exactly, she brought you to be the one that deep down in your heart. Why are you acting like your father?"
"I AM NOT!"
Mel rolled her eyes, "Fine if you're not your father then untie me showing me you do have a heart and would let Allie's best friend go so she could…"
Jodi blinked, "If I do that then Daddy and Scott are going to be angry with me." She lowered her head.
Mel shook her head, "Jodi you're so much better than them. Don't let it get you sweetie."
Jodi smirked, looking back up at her as tears brim her eyes. "Really, why haven't I seen my…"
"You have when she attacked your father after scaring Allie away last Monday." Mel answered nicely seeing the girl's eyes widened shaking her head.
"No that couldn't be no, Rayne's my…"
"Mother yes," Her voice was soft again watching the little girl slowly walk over to the bed, falling back looking at the ceiling. "Jodi, Allie and I won't lie to you."
"WHY DO YOU BRING HER BACK UP EVERY SINGLE TIME?" Jodi screamed, sitting up in bed looking at Mel. "What makes you think that I will…"
"You want to see her fully again and right now I have no clue where she's at." Fear seized over her mind thinking the worst. Tears fell from her moonlit eyes letting them fall onto her ripped faded jeans. "I know I sound really silly but I saw that look in her eyes when your father showed up. He stuck her last week in training almost giving her a concussion,"
Jodi got up from the bed going over to her, blinking, hearing her.
She looked at the little girl seeing those eyes. "Jodi, your father wants Allie for something but I don't know what. And this," She looked at her wrists sighing, looking up at her again. "This is wrong, yeah Scott was my ex and I dumped him for some guy in the bar but come on I didn't deserve this."
Jodi nodded, agreeing with her. She stood in front of her seeing what a mess she was. "You look like a funny punk who took way too much Monster energy drinks before the show."
Mel smirked, hearing the smarty remark from Rayne's kid. "Yeah well, you've got your mother's genes of a songstress, Princess." She watched her smile wide.
Jodi sighed, getting closer letting her hand touch the rope slowly undoing it.
"Jodi you don't need…" She saw the little girl glare at her making her shut up as she worked on the ropes still.
"You're really nice," Jodi answered truthfully seeing the look in Mel's eyes. "Not that I couldn't see that before but you care for Allie as much as I do."
Mel smiled feeling one of her wrists free finally watching Jodi work on the other one. "Well what can I say; I've known her since forever really."
"Even in diapers?"
Mel smirked seeing the girl look at her, "Close enough to it, Jodes," She saw her glance those eyes at her. "Sorry, I ah…'
Jodi shrugged, "Its fine," She tossed the last of the rope from the chair over to the trash can looking back at her. "My dad and Scott won't be back til real late, you can head off I'll just say that I was sleeping and didn't know you escaped."
Mel smiled, slowly bending down to the ground holding out her arms, signaling her to walk to her. She watched her get close, letting her arms wrap around the little girl's waist holding her in a hug. "Thank you Jodi."
Jodi nodded, against her shoulder slowly crying. "I didn't want anything bad to happen to Allie, Mel. I seriously didn't want…"
"Shh, little one;" She softly whispered, pulling back looking at her. "You didn't do anything. You saw how Allie was when she looked down at you, I knew she felt happy but just seeing your father brought back bad memories that she wanted to push out of her life, all right?"
Jodi nodded, sniffling lightly watching Mel brush away the tears from her eyes. "I just hope she's ok and…"
"And knowing John Cena, he went right after her just to make sure she didn't get hurt as much." Mel pressed her forehead against Jodi's head smiling seeing her smile closing her eyes knowing she was getting that sense of security, she needed. She sighed, bringing Jodi back in to her arms holding her close feeling the little girl's arms wrap around her neck.
Jodi opened her eyes slowly, looking at the bed striking a yawn. "Mel,"
"Yeah Jodi?"
"Can you tuck me in? I'm getting sleepy right now."
She smiled, easing with grace back to her feet holding the child with her arms. Seeing that sleepy smile, she turned, the breeze swept through the room causing her to gasp lowly from the cuts into her wrists while she carefully brought the child to bed. Bending over, easing her down, her hand pulled the cover back finally placing Rayne's sweet little angel in, feeling her arms pull back from her neck going around her waist seeing her head snuggle against the pillow.
Jodi smiled, feeling the covers slowly drape over her shoulders looking up at Mel, "You better go before Daddy and Scott see you up and about." She saw the older friend of Allie's nod her head leaning down kissing her forehead good night before heading off. "Mel."
Her head tilted to the side, "Yes Jodes?"
"Legacy's four floors up if you wanna see Orton." Jodi muttered, feeling her eyes fading fast, watching the image she had of Mel gone from eyes going into a deep sleep.
Mel smiled, just what she needed, was to know where Orton was so she could run into his arms cry for hours and hell for all she knows Cody and Ted would probably give her extra clothes to jump into besides her ring attire she had planned to go in against Maria, Mickie, Katie Lea, and Maryse but that was all before hell broke lose making her disappear. Tucking in the girl, she headed off; broken, battered and beaten she wanted to leave before more damage happened to her. Please still be up. She thought slowly making her way over to the door opening it up, letting her head peer out seeing it clear finally taking the steps out of hell and into freedom of getting to Randy.
Never let this go:
Randy paced the hotel floor knowing something wasn't right. Yeah Xander and Jodi came out and surprised the Michaels daughter but he, he didn't ask that from him yet to do anything and that pissed him off. He took a glance at Cody and Ted seeing them at their late night video game action of trying to kill each other either in WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2009, Burnout: Paradise, Halo 2 and 3, Gears of War and some other games that he was so lost on he didn't want to know.
Shaking his head, letting his nails scratch the bothering itch that automatically got to him and headed out to the balcony.
Cody took a glance over at his leader watching how lost he was without knowing how Mel was doing. His lips frowned, looking back at the game he was in with Ted. "Randy if you want music sorta helps of easing the…"
"Say those four words, and I'll punt you." He slowly whipped his head around seeing the two members of Legacy look at him as they paused the game.
"I think he was going to say love not the other word Randy." Ted inserted seeing those viper; Irish blue eyes glare at him. He slowly turned his head looking at Cody for help then stared back at the screen.
Cody stood for a moment, going to his bag digging through finally finding the one thing he couldn't live with out and walked over to Orton. "Here, take my MP3 listen to any song that you feel like listening to, I'll charge it when I get up or before we head off to bed, all right?" He held his hand out watching Randy blink looking at him then down at the device. "You'll either think of her or you won't it all depends…"
"I'm worried for both, Allie and Mel of what happened Monday," Randy confessed seeing those Abercrombie and Fitch model eyes lower as he nodded in agreement. "I love Mel dearly and with my heart but watching that cute feisty brunette younger looking heartbreak kid; help her father in the match, I'm growing really worried about those sisters."
Cody only smiled, feeling Orton's hands take the device out. "I know, man. I know. We're worried too and we'll find them." He saw the older man look at him again. "Ted and I saw Cena fly out on Tista's bike after Allie so we all know they're safe or he all ready took her back to Shawn's." He shrugged seeing that head shake and the deadly womanizer smirk.
"All right," Randy sighed, feeling a little bit better but it still killed him on where Mel was. "At least John was smart enough to follow her." He glanced down at the device then back up seeing Cody glide back to his seat to finish up the co-op game with Ted of Halo 3. He went to his bag pulling out his headphones, slipping them on starting the device having the thing start up walking out into the moonlit balcony, hearing the song that was playing on Cody's MP3. (Hemorrhage (In my Hands) belongs respectfully to Fuel)
"Memories are just where you laid them Drag the waters 'till the depths give up their dead what did you expect to find? Was there something you left behind? Don't you remember anything i said when i said Don't fall away, and leave me to myself Don't fall away and leave love bleeding In my hands, in my hands again Leave love bleeding In my hands, in my hands Love lies bleeding,"
He couldn't help but only to think on his past of what was happening in the song. He had the good life, but after his last fall with his ex and catching her with her suitor seemed like he was now trying to do his best into not losing the best thing he was worried about and that was Mel. Sighing he stepped close to the railing letting his arms rest against giving him that cool feel of the crisp night while he looked out at the open ocean they were near hearing the peaceful effect.
"Oh hold me now I feel contagious Am I the only place that you've left to go She cries her life is like Some movie black and white Dead actors faking lines Over and over and over again she cries Don't fall away, and leave me to myself Dont fall away, and leave love bleeding In my hands, in my hands again Leave love bleeding In my hands, in my hands Love lies bleeding,"
He dropped his head eyes closing tight, how could he been so careless of not going after the one he loved like John did with Allie. Hell I couldn't since she vanished like she did when the Camera crew and Allie went to see if she was all right when the stage broke. He groaned raising his head up slightly looking out seeing the moon shine in the water only giving him those images of Mel's smiling face that came with those unique eyes of hers. Feeling the breeze brush over him he stood straight again bringing his arms back to his side while he held on to Cody's MP3.
"And I wanted You turned away You don't remember, but I do You never even tried don't fall away and leave me to myself Don't fall away and leave love bleeding In my hands, in my hands again Leave love bleeding In my hands, in my hands Love lies bleeding."
Shaking his head he moved over to the chairs dropping down placing his head in his hands he felt useless of losing the best thing in his life. Please, come back or give me a sign that you're all… He blinked slowly tilting his head to the side hearing another song go in the play list after hearing a rapid knock from their hotel door.
Ted's head snapped to the door, finally getting to his feet hearing the growl Cody gave. "Someone's at the door, goof." Was all that he could say, noticing the song that was playing in the game come to a stop. There was a knock again as he got to it. "Hold on, hold on geez." He rolled his eyes unbolting the locks finally opening the door turning back around heading back to Cody.
Cody stared at the TV screen then back at Ted jumping in his seat, whining like a dog of when his partner was coming back. "Ted, Ted, Teddddddddyyyyyy! Come on, come on, come onnnnnnnnnnn. Gotta kill…" He blinked seeing Ted glare at him as he looked back but that's not what he was all of a sudden shocked of seeing.
"Damn Codes, I'm right…"
"HOLY CRAP! OH MY GOD!" Cody stood automatically dropping the controller to the ground dashing over to Ted.
"What in the…" He blinked, feeling Cody spin him around like a freaking twist top wrapping his arms around the person that stepped in. Finally gaining his balance again he looked seeing the one person they were very worried about. "O to the H to the M to the Y to the G to the O to the D!!" He dashed over taking the other side of the person's waist hugging them dearly.
Randy couldn't believe what he was seeing. His crew, Cody and Ted rush up to someone that he didn't notice. He gave a low growl, pushing up from the chair and headed back in side, hearing Ted's remark. "Ok to quote The Rock before he went Hollywood on us now, what in the blue hell are you two screaming a…"
"Hi?" Ted and Cody stepped away showing the person that showed up at their room. Mel slowly went into a smile seeing the look on Randy's face watching him take off his headphones and placed the device onto the counter. "Randy?"
He studied her. Yeah her hair was knotted and a mess, clothes ripped, but glancing at her wrists was a different story. He shook his head rushing over to her wrapping his arms around her, finally happy again of having her with him. He rested his head against her's hearing the muffled cries in his shirt. "Mel, what happened?"
He blinked feeling her head shake against his chest knowing she didn't want to say yet but soon. He sighed, still holding her close to him as possible. "It's ok," He soothed, while he turned with her still in his arms as he looked at Ted and Cody. "You two," He saw their heads nod like they were on a sugar rush. "Get extra clothes right…"
"ON IT!" Ted and Cody answered, dashing to their bags. Ted opened his bag rummaging through finally pulling out an extra Legacy 'Born better' shirt. Cody got to his bag again, tossing his things out frantically not finding anything that would work, he shot his head up seeing Randy blinking in shock of what he was doing just to find something for Mel to wear.
"Ah Randy…"
"Look through my bag, Codes; I think I have something for her to wear." Randy announced seeing Cody smile dashing over to his bag going through finding something else she could have. He looked down feeling Mel's arms wrap tighter against his waist still hugging him. "It's all right. You're safe now M…" He stopped seeing her head pull back as the tears still flowed down her eyes.
"Get him out of the group Randy," Mel lightly said watching Randy's eyes narrow of what she's saying.
"Who Mel?" He looked over seeing Cody and Ted come back to him with the tee shirt and an unopened pair of boxers the company gave him with the logo of his crest.
Her eyes lowered still letting the tears fall from her eyes. "He's only out to get Allie, Randy."
"A HA!" Cody jumped, pointing his finger at Randy seeing those eyes of his blink confused again.
"What the hell?" He shook his head, looking back at Mel. "What do you mean Xander's only out to get to Allie what has he…"
"Told you he shouldn't have joined us," Ted smiled proudly looking at Cody seeing the dorky smile he has.
Randy slowly glared at him feeling his eyes twitch.
"But did you listen to us, Randy?" Cody started, glancing at Mel watching her eyes blink away the tears looking from Randy then back to him and Ted. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO."
Randy's eyes flared hearing that childish voice from Cody, his veins throbbed against his temple, now his left eye slowly twitching.
Ted gently hit Cody in the arm not taking his eyes off of Randy seeing those arms slowly unwrap from Mel's waist, "Ah Cody?"
Cody glanced at Ted. "Yes?"
"I would run now." Ted slowly answered, backing away from his pal.
"Why would I want to…"
"CODY GARRETT RUNNELS!" Randy bellowed, letting his hold on Mel fade as he began to stalk the younger member of Legacy.
Cody's eyes widened seeing the older friend stalk after him. "OH GOD," He dashed away trying to get into his and Ted's room before Randy killed him.
"Run, Codes; run like the wind!" Ted shouted out laughing slowly bending over putting his arms at his legs. He blinked feeling a tap on his shoulder. He glanced up seeing those eyes from Randy. "Um,"
"You started it," He slowly smirked going into a deadly smile. "RKO or a punt? Your choice."
Ted's eyes slowly dropped, glancing over towards Mel with the sad puppy dog eyes.
Mel smirked smiling shaking her head, "Randy let him be, it's not his fault you fall for the schemes of what people tell you."
Randy blinked looking back at the one he loved, having it finally sink in with him.
Ted blinked getting out of the soon to be grip Randy was going to place on him, dashing to the connecting room where Cody was hiding for his life of what might happen.
He couldn't believe that Mel was right. In four years he didn't think believing someone that you loved dearly would finally get the image back of being that loveable guy fans would probably want to see again but either way they'll still remember him as the hard ass leader of Legacy. Looking over he saw the tee and boxers on the ground, bending down he picked them up, handing them over to her. "Change and we'll talk about this more later all right?"
Mel nodded, smiling again taking the spare clothes Ted and Randy had and yet saw the frantic clothes bomb go off in Cody's bag when he was looking for something pants wise for her to wear. "Thank you Randy." She headed off to the bathroom, getting out of her once ragged wrestling attire into warm comforting loveable wear the group was showing her.
Dark Side:
Xander and Scott laughed their way back to the rooms they were staying for the night before heading to the airport and shipping off to the next city with their captive at the moment. Usually at this time of night they would've had at least a girl on their arm to go have fun only to torment Mel. Xander being sober that he was, helped carry his friend back to his hotel room after the two plus some drinks he forgot he was counting after the way Scott fell out of his bar stool trying to get his flirt on with the ladies that were next to him.
"Why are we here?"
Xander sighed, rolling his eyes pulling out his key card slipping it through the swipe hearing the buzz, pushing the door open turning on the lights for the bathroom as he walked him over to the closest bed. "Um I'm letting you get some sleep and some water in you since you totally drank too much at the…" He stopped feeling Scott pull away from him heading to the bathroom listening to that door slam shut and the water running knowing the one thing. He sighed once more getting ready to walk out checking up on their captive.
Closing the door slightly he moved next door, knocking lightly wondering if Jodi was up still waiting for him to tell her a story. No answer. He blinked taking out another key card swiping it through hearing the buzzing finally getting in the room turning on the lights looking right at an empty chair. Empty chair? He felt his eyes twitch as he slowly looked at Jodi seeing her peacefully sleeping. I'm gone for five hours and Mel's not here. He kept his cool, slowly walking over to Jodi lightly tapping her on the shoulder. "Baby girl," He whispered hearing her slowly whimper cause of a dream. "Jodi?"
"I didn't do it!" She screamed, sitting up fast holding her chest trying to keep her heart inside slowly looking at her father. "Daddy?" She tiredly asked feeling her head slowly droop.
He smiled, patting her back. "Yeah Jodi, it's me."
"Daddy," She turned, getting ready to cuddle into him but felt him stop her.
"Where's Mel, Jodi?" Xander asked lightly seeing those eyes of hers blinking looking at him.
"Should still be in the…" Her head turned, looking at the chair seeing it empty. "I saw her earlier when I came in around 8, then I fell asleep after hanging out with the divas." She lied, slowly going into tears. "I feel awful that I didn't…"
"Hey, hey," Xander now heard the full cries of his daughter tell him what happened. "Look it's not your fault that she some how disappeared from…"
"YES…IT…IS!" Jodi said in between sobs feeling bad now of what she was going to get from her father.
"Jodi, listen I'm not blaming you. Whoever untied her is going to pay or if she finally got the nerve to break the ropes then she succeeded and ran off to someone, but it's fine don't worry about it." He simply answered, but deep down in his mind he was going to be out with vengeance now.
Jodi looked at her father seeing the smile he showed telling her not to worry. "All right, daddy."
He smiled watching her lean back into the covers her head hitting the pillows watching his angel fall back asleep. Kissing her forehead once, pulling the covers up to her shoulders he tucked her in, watching her cuddle into the sheet. He smiled heading back to his room again trying to think up of a new plan for the current one to work. But something kept him, like the smell Mel had and when he kissed his daughter, why did she smell like the same? He shook his head stepping back inside the room, watching the door open seeing Scott clutching a cold towel to his forehead.
"So how's our little…"
"Jodi's fine but we have bigger fish to fry now." Xander announced, feeling his muscles tighten sitting down in a chair watching the look on Scott's face drop.
"Who took Mel from…"
"I don't know," Xander whispered, feeling his thoughts running muck in his mind of who could've done it. "All I know is that I scared my little girl where she sat up suddenly screaming she didn't do it."
Scott groaned, shaking his head. "We can only do plan B now."
Xander looked at him, "Plan B. What's plan B?"
Smirking was his only flaw. "We go after her friends or we go after Rayne's making her and Allie, become the only two girls left on our kidnapping spree."
Xander's eyes lit up like the fourth of July hearing those words from him. "You my friend are really the demon in this group of thieves."
Scott smiled narrowing his eyes only trying to think of what's going to happen once he stepped back into the ring and target the one man his ex was truly, madly and deeply in love with.
O.O Uh-oh… That doesn't sound good…
YAY Mel escaped the claws of Xander and Scott with the help of Jodi, the question now: how is this going to affect the way of her being free when she should've stayed for Jodi's sanity…
What has finally gotten into the Priceless brothers? They seemed to by hyped up on sugar if you ask me but what do I know… I'm the author XD
