Emma told all the girls to come to her house the next day. They were going to have a party. She still had a weird feeling about the game. Like something was supposed to happen. She couldn't believe they won. She called her dad and of course he didn't pick up.
"Hey daddy. We won. Thought you'd want to know. Hope you're doing well. Love you"
Emma hung up the phone and sighed. She began to get the chips and drinks out. She couldn't wait for the girls to get there. She was going to put smackdown on to see her dad fight. Him and the undertaker were making appearances on both shows lately. There was a knock on her door and she knew her friends were there.
"Hey girl!!" Trish exclaimed. "Are we watching the show?"
"Yea. I still feel bad for leaving things the way we did." She said.
"I thought you guys were okay?" Trish asked.
"Yea, but still."
There was another knock and the rest of the team showed up. They toasted to a fantastic year and their friendship.
"Emma!" Maggie yelled
"What?"
"Smackdown is starting." Maggie yelled again.
"I'll be there in a minute."
Emma grabbed ice tea for everyone and the Doritos. She got to the den and put all of the stuff on the table. She had to a move a couch, but some of the girls were sitting on it.
"I'm moving you guys." She stated.
"WHAT!?" They exclaimed and Emma lifted the couch and pulled them.
"I still don't understand how you do that." Maggie said laughing.
Emma was 5'6". Not as tall as her dad of course, but she was very athletic. She had an athletic build, but she was small and she loved showing the guys at school up. She moved the other couch against the wall.
"Your dad's gonna be on tonight Emma?" Trish asked
"Yea. I read the roster for tonight."
The show started and there were woots from everyone. She loved her friends and would do anything for them. The show began with clips from Monday night Raw. All the matches were being highlighted.
"Look! There's daddy!!!" Emma exclaimed.
Everyone watched as Kane and Undertaker demolished Randy Orton and Batista.
"Woot woot!!! Ya dad!!!" Emma started jumping up and down.
"He sure did kick ass," Maggie said
"That's because he's the big red machine! Plus he had Mark helping him." Emma said. Trish high-fived Emma and they laughed.
"Are they always together?" Suzy asked her.
"Not always, but I guess like 75% of the time. I would love to be his partner."
"But he won't let you." Trish said.
"I turn 18 in like a month and a half. He can't stop me." Emma stated with confidence.
All of her friends secretly looked at each other knowing that he wouldn't let her join. Smackdown was pretty boring. Emma started wrestling with her friend Amy because she was the only one that would dot, but she heard her dad's music and froze.
"Its 9:30 already?" she asked.
"Yea you and Amy were more interesting than the show." Trish said. They all became glued to the tv. Kane was fighting Batista.
"Let's go dad! Kick his ass!!! Rip him apart!" Emma was bouncing in her seat.
"Emma…relax!"
All of her friends laughed when she stopped bouncing and blushed. Kane lifted Batista and everyone of them jumped and cheered. He pinned Batista and won.
"YEA!!!"
Kane was walking up the ramp when his music stopped and movie started playing on the screen. The voice was digitalized so you couldn't tell who it was.
"Look what we have here…a girls soccer team. I bet nobody knew that Kane had a daughter…I believe her name is Emma…"
Kane was frozen. Emma fell to her seat. The girls were speechless.
"She is a pretty girl. Look daddy…she scored the winning goal…" the camera zoomed in on her face laughing. "I would love to meet her."
The camera cut to Glen's house. Glen ran up the rest of the ramp. He flew into his locker room where Mark stood motionless. He picked up the phone. Emma grabbed it and tried to stay calm.
"Baby…are you okay?" he said in a panic.
"I'm okay…" she said in a shocked voice.
"Did you see anyone yesterday?" he asked her.
"no"
"Who's with you?" he asked
"Trish, Maggie, Suzy, and Amy." She stated. "Wait, dad…."
The tv turned again and it was of Emma calling her dad before the girls came that night. Emma started shaking.
"…Looks like your precious little girl was disappointed. Couldn't put your job to the side for once. You'll see each other soon…." There was silence on both sides. Trish was the first to move. She checked all doors and windows.
"Dad…" the panic started to set in.
"don't worry. I'll get to the bottom of this." He said angrily
"But…"
"Keep the girls there with you." He stated
"But dad…"
"I won't let him hurt you." He could hear her sniffling. "Emma…I won't let anything happen to you. I promise"
"okay daddy." She said quietly.
He said goodbye and turned to Mark. Mark was in in shock. He was thinking of his little girl and that she was in danger also.
"We'll find him Glen…" Mark stated
"He recorded my baby girl."
"It'll get fixed"
"ITS NOT YOU DAUGHTER!" Glen yelled and stormed out and headed to the tech room. When he got there, there was only one guy.
"Who gave you that video?" he asked angrily
"I don't know. It was sitting here after I came back from the toilet." He explained.
"So how did you know when and where to play it."
"The note that was wrapped around it." He said.
"Fine but you find out who gave it to you." Glen stormed out of the room. He found Mark and they left for the hotel. Back in Texas…
"You girls don't need to stay." Emma told them
"You're crazy. I'm staying." Trish planted herself on the couch and so did the other girls.
"It's okay…"
All of them gave her a look and she sighed. She got them blankets and pillows. She said goodnight and went to her bedroom. As she was getting in bed the phone rang.
"Hello?" Emma said
"breathing"
"Who is this?" She asked
"Where's daddy?"
"When my dad finds out who you are, he's going to send you to hell." She stated confidently. The other person started to laugh. Shuddered and then jumped when her door opened. It was Trish.
"Daddy can't always save you…"
"What do you want?" she asked
"Leverage…"
"Oh come on seriously?" She said.
"I'll get it too. You're not the only trick I have up my sleeve. By the way…Nice bedroom." She dropped the phone and ran to the window. She closed her curtains and sank to her knees.
"Was it him?..." Trish asked
"Yea…"
"You should call your dad." Trish said
"Yea…"
She picked up the phone and dialed her dad's phone number.
"What's wrong?" Glen said answering the phone.
"He called me…just now."
"I'm going to kill him. What did he say? Did he tell you what he wanted?"
"Leverage and then he said that I wasn't the only trick up his sleeve." She explained.
"son of a bitch. Anything else?"
"Yea…he said nice bedroom…." Emma said this like she was in another world.
"Fucking son of a bitch! I'm gonna kill him!!!!!" Glen started swearing again.
"Dad…let me come to you…"
"No. It'll be worse here…" he said.
"Please dad? I'm scared." she said on the verge of tears.
"No Emma…he could have full access…"
"He's seen my fucking bedroom!!! Put your fucking pride to the side!!!" She started getting angry.
"No Emma. Stay there and lock the doors."
"Whatever. Bye dad." She hung up before he could even say anything. Glen turned to Mark who was on the phone with his daughter. Glen had more things to worry about. Trish stayed with her in her room and waited till Emma fell asleep. This was scary shit. She just prayed for her friend.
The next 3 days went by in a flash. It was Saturday. Emma was always looking over her shoulder. Emma sent her friends home. She went to the grocery store and when she got home, she put her basketball shorts on and sports bra. She went out to the backyard and began to do back flips on the trampoline. She started doing kicks and jumps. Unbeknownst to her, again she was being videotaped. She stopped jumping and fell down and laid on the trampoline. She caught her breath and went inside. She made sure the doors were bolted before going in the bathroom. She was paranoid now. She got in the shower and did what she had to do. When she got out the phone was ringing.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Hey baby girl"
"Hey daddy" she said with a smile
"How are things?" he asked
"Fine. I'm being extra careful. I locked the doors as soon as I came in the house. I don't want to take any chances." She said.
"Good. I'll get to the bottom of this. No worries" he said.
"Good because it sucks having to watch over my shoulder all the time"
"I could imagine." He replied.
They talked for a little while longer. She wanted to go to bed. It was late anyway. She said good night and hung up the phone. She began to get into her pjs when the phone rang again.
"Daddy…." She started
"…I'm not daddy." The voice stated. She froze. She couldn't believe it. He was calling again.
"Did you have fun on the trampoline today?" he asked
"I wasn't on…" she started to say in a panic
"…don't lie! It's not nice!!!" he said angrily.
"It's none of your business."
"Don't you hang up the phone." He said. She began looking for him. She started closing every blind in her house.
"That's no fun. Leave the blinds alone. I won't be able to see you." He said strongly, but tried to act sweet.
"Just leave me alone." She said with a frightened voice.
"Aww, don't be scared. I'm not going to hurt you." He said condescendingly.
"Whatever. Can I go now?" she asked
"Sweet dreams"
He hung up before she did. She quickly dialed her dad.
"What's wrong?" He immediately said
"He's watching me…." She said in a panic
"Close the blinds."
"I did and he was like 'hey that's no fun.' Dad please….let me come to you….I don't feel safe." She said pleadingly.
"Emma stop asking me!"
"Dad I think this is a little different." She said to him
"No Emma." He said firmly.
"Fine and if anything happens to me…I'll tell you I told you so."
"Nothing is going to happen. Don't pick up the phone again." He said.
"fine. Goodnight."
She hung up the phone and looked out the blinds. That guy was out there and she was helpless. 2 days later school started back from spring break. She was congratulated by everyone. She zoned out in social studies and barely ate lunch. She was scared to watch Raw that night. Trish went home with her that night. It was going to be tough if she was on it again. Her dad had a match versus Randy Orton and Mark had a match versus Christian. Batista was still hurt from Smackdown. It was in the middle of the show that night.
"So innocent…exercising. She wouldn't tell me if she had fun, but she sure looked like she did. She seemed frightened that night pulling all the shades down." Emma clutched herself to Trish. She didn't know what to do.
"Sorry daddy…I caught her in the shower….some what…." Emma fainted at that and the picture. Kane picked up a table and threw it. "Your time is getting closer…."
The video stopped and Kane clotheslined Randy. He went down and was out. When he found this person, there would be hell to pay. Little did he know, he had already faced him. Kane finished the match and immediately called Emma. Trish picked up
"Hi. Mr. Jacobs." She said.
"Hey Trish. Where's Emma?" He asked
"She fainted."
"She did?!" He exclaimed.
"Yea. This is all taking a toll on her. She's skittish and everything" Trish explained
"I'm doing everything I can…" He stated.
He talked with Trish some more and then said good bye. He was hoping Emma called him later. He couldn't believe this was happening to him and his baby girl. Mark wasn't having a good time either. They were targeting him too. They just needed to figure out who it was. Trish spent the night again and Emma cried herself back to sleep. Her dad was so stubborn. She didn't call him. She felt like she shouldn't have too. If he cared he would have swooped her up and kept her by his side. The next morning, he woke her up by calling.
"Hello?" she answered groggily
"You didn't call me back." He stated
"I felt like I just wanted to sleep."
"Just 5 minutes…" he said
"If I was with you, you wouldn't have to worry." She said nastily
"Emma please…"
"Whatever. I have school. Love you." She said
"love you too."
He hung up sighing. She was right. If he brought her to him, he could watch her more. He shook his head and went to take a shower. Emma shook Trish awake and they got ready for school. Emma drove Trish because she didn't have her car. Which they were in the car they headed for a day of torturous education.
"Hey Emma!!" Suzy exclaimed
"Hey Suzy."
"You look exhausted." Said Amy
"Yea, we saw the show." Maggie said
"Yea, it's getting worse. I just want to go to my dad, but he's so fucking stubborn. I would feel so much safer." She said sadly.
"maybe he'll change his attitude…"
"I don't know. I just hope that there aren't any more videos." Emma stated
The bell rang and they ran to English. They always just wrote notes. You had to be dumb not to pass this class. Before they knew it, the class was over and they were headed to their last and favorite class: gym. They were playing lacrosse. The girls were excited to kick ass. The gym teacher loved them so it was even better. Finally, class ended and Trish parted ways with Emma. She had to work. She got home and checked the answering machine.
"Hello…I didn't know you were so athletic…I watched you playing lacrosse….very nice…I'll see you soon. Oh and don't close the blinds tonight. You'll just piss me off more…"
The call ended and she grabbed the phone. She waited for her dad to pick up while pacing her living room.
"Hello?"
"Dad!! Dad…he called again! He left a message…dad please come home! I don't have to come to you…please dad!" She said in a frenzy.
"Emma calm down…what did he say…" she played the message for him and he could hear crying.
"I have to get in touch with Vince. I can't just leave."
"Put your fucking job to the side! I'm more important!" She yelled
"Emma! I can't!" He yelled back.
"Ya know what! Fuck you dad! I'm coming to you!"
"You will do no such thing! I'll come when I can! Lock the doors and don't leave the house!"
Emma shouted some obscenities and hung up. She kept the blinds closed and laid in bed. She didn't leave her house all week. Trish and Amy came by a few times with her homework. Other than that she ate what was in the house and stayed in her pjs. She wouldn't answer the phone either. He never called again. It was Thursday night…smackdown. She was by herself. She held her stuffed duck and watched silently. It was in the beginning of the show again. She couldn't watch, but she did.
"You have a very athletic daughter Kane. Soccer star, lacrosse player. Why can't she be a wrestler? Hmmm…she'll never be safe by herself…" Emma whimpered. He was always going to be watching her.
"She's such an angel when she's sleeping…look at her all angelic…: she jumped up. ..he was there….in her her bedroom. She started freaking out. She ran to her room and searched her closets. She ran back down and it showed her on the phone with her dad.
"…She's got quite the mouth on her. I wonder where she learned it from…"
The screen cut to her sleeping one more time. It showed Kane throwing a table and Mark having to restrain him. Things were bad. He had to get to her, but Vince said he needed him till Monday. He called Emma and she answered quietly.
"Hello…"
"I can't leave till Monday."
"Whatever dad. I'll work it out. I don't need you." She stated harshly.
"Emma…"
"No…do your job. I'll stay with Trish for a little bit." She said. "I'm packing as we speak."
"Emma its fine. This way you will have me there is anything happened." He said
"Shit has already happened." She said hanging up the phone.
Emma crawled into her bed and just went to sleep. She slept through Friday and woke up early Saturday morning. She put her running shorts on and a sports bra. She was a tomboy hands down, but she still knew how to flaunt her feminine side. She put her hair up grabbed her keys and left after locking the door. She just started running. She didn't stop when she got tired either. She ended up in front of the lake. The last place she went to with her mom before she died. This was 6 miles from her house. She sat on the bench under the weeping willow and just stared out onto the lake. She took a deep breath and took off for her house. When she got there she heard the beep for the answering machine.
"Hello cupcake…you sure run fast. It took me awhile to catch up…not. I'm surprised you left your house. Don't worry you'll see the outside world soon enough…"
The call ended and she screamed. She threw her keys and kicked the wall. She slammed her front door and locked it. She took a shower and found her keys. She needed some food. She got to the supermarket and grabbed a couple of the suddenly salad classic pasta salads. She paid and grabbed a coffee. She got home and got to cooking.
"Hello?"
"Are you okay?" her dad asked
"Just peachy. What do you want?"
"Has anything happened?" he asked
"Oh ya know the typical phone call 'I'm watching, you be scared' bull shit. I'm over it"
"You're lying to me." He said
"I'm not. Promise. I have to go. I'm cooking dinner. Love you"
"Okay love you too…" he said goodbye and hung up the phone. He looked at Mark who gave him a sympathetic look.
"What happened?" asked Mark
"She's acting like nothing's going on. I don't know whether to ignore this of be worried."
"I think she's just coping. She needs to do that." Mark explained.
"I guess." Glen said unsure of it. He got into bed and slept worried about his daughter. He was sacred that something was going to happen and he wasn't going to be there to stop it.
Monday came just a little too fast for Emma. She gathered her books and left for school. When she got there, her friends flocked to her side.
"I'm fine guys. Don't let it bother you. Nothing is going to happen"
"Your dad found the guy?" Maggie asked
"No but I can't be scared of him"
They headed to oceanography and they doodled all period. She left her friends and stopped at her locker.
"Hey Emma…"
"Oh…hi Alex…" she said blushing at the boy.
"How are things going?" he asked
"They are going. Just waiting for the end of the year."
"Ya…well…if you ever need someone to stay with you because of the whole stalker situation thing, let me know." He said
"Of course. Thanks Alex" she said smiling.
He gave her a smile and took off for his next class. Emma went through the rest of the day in a daze. She got home, did homework and jumped on the trampoline a bit. Raw was starting soon by the time she finished dinner so she showered, put on her comfy pjs and a cozy shirt and turned on Raw. She was hoping nothing happened tonight. Her and Mark did a quick promo but the video started. It was of her running. It was of her eating…going to school.
"I think it's time for a reunion."
Emma noticed it was a live video. They were videotaping her right now. On a little screen, it showed Glen calling her.
"Dad…what's going on?!?!" She was panicking.
"Lock yourself somewhere."
"Dad!! There's someone at the door!"
"Go to your room!!"
"DAD!!!!"
She was running as fast as she could. She got to her room and closed the door.
"They're in the house! Dad!!! What do I do!?" she exclaimed.
Glen heard the door being broken…his heart shattered.
"DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed before she was gagged. He couldn't see the person but they did talk.
"I'll take good care of her….hey…hey…don't cry…" They showed her being held. She was crying hysterically and struggling.
"Don't worry daddy….you'll see her soon…"
The video went black. Glen threw the tv. Mark immediately called Breena. Someone was apparently out to get them.
