Chapter 13: Kindness
August 17, 2008

Author's note: just to not get in trouble, I should remind everyone that I don't own anything that has to do with WWE. Also, please don't raise a stink; I created this scenario due to recent events in the shows.

Thank you, ChanelCalaway, for helping me with his chapter by helping with a speedbump

When Khali was done with, Undertaker took on other adversaries with Pandora by his side. Mr. Kennedy, Batista, and Mark Henry each tried to bring Undertaker to his knees but, while they each had victories over the demon, they were ultimately no match. At one point, Mr. Kennedy tried to keep Undertaker away from the World Heavyweight Championship by costing him two opportunities. But Batista ultimately had to give the demon the belt when Undertaker battled and defeated him at Wrestlemania. To accompany her master's championship, Pandora wore a golden forehead tiara with Undertaker's symbol in the center in place of a jewel. But that championship caught the eye of another superstar: Edge. After Undertaker was attacked by Mark Henry, Edge cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and stole the belt, which made Pandora's tiara melt.

After Undertaker came back and took care of Mark Henry and Batista, he and Pandora focused their attention on Edge and his girlfriend Vickie Guerrero. The first warning he gave Edge was tombstoning Vickie in front of him. Edge got the message but did not back down. He, unfortunately, learned to not mess with Undertaker the hard way when Undertaker defeated Edge at Wrestlemania and got back his stolen belt. But it was not to be: after their rematch at Backlash, the now-fiancé Vickie announced that Undertaker's Hell's Gate (the move he used to defeat Edge) was illegal and stripped Undertaker of the title. Pandora was stunned by this but it got worse. Vickie refused to give Undertaker the belt back when he defeated Edge at Judgment Day (since it was won by countout) and then ultimately banished the two demons when Undertaker lost a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match at One Night Stand.

Vickie thought that things were going her way when Edge finally wedded her after much drama, especially when he lost the belt to CM Punk. But, at the wedding reception, Triple H revealed footage of Edge cheating on Vickie with the wedding planner Alicia Fox (he did not admit it but Pandora sent him the footage to get back at Vickie). To get back at Edge for both doing that and accidentally spearing her, she reinstated the Undertaker and Pandora and set Edge up to face Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match. Edge was enraged by this but eventually accepted it…after taking some of his anger out on La Familia and Vickie and vowing to take Vickie and Undertaker with him to Hell.

At SummerSlam, Pandora, dressed in her Hell in a Cell match pants, came into the arena with Undertaker. She looked at Edge and sighed. Normally, she would not care about her master's opponent but, this time, Edge was different. He did not ask for this match; his wife Vickie created it as punishment for what he was caught doing with the wedding planner. Being a demon, Pandora did not understand why Vickie was so mad since cheating was the norm in Hell, especially with her Mother. When she discovered the footage, Undertaker had explained to her that humans did not cheat on loved ones and that doing so was a serious offense on said loved one but Pandora still did not fully understand. After all, if humans did it this way, Vickie had every right to be angry (and that was a bonus for Pandora, which is why she sent the footage)…but why retaliate by putting her husband in a Hell in a Cell match, a match where he might not come out alive? For that reason alone, Pandora worried for Edge, especially since the look on his face showed excitement instead of fear.

When Undertaker came into the cell and slammed the door shut, Pandora climbed the cell and took her place on top of the cell. She looked between Undertaker and Edge, silently hoping that Undertaker would win and also that Edge would not get too damaged in this match. She stayed on top of the cell for the entire match, crawling around to be above the fights. During the match, she was impressed with Edge's dementedness, especially when he included weapons into the match. She never noticed before but he was a skilled fighter…but he was still no match for the powerful demon. When Undertaker won, Pandora smiled and took a look at Edge. He did not look too damaged and was not bloody so she figured that he would be all right. She climbed down the cell and joined Undertaker's side as they left. But Undertaker stopped and looked back, as if remembering something. Pandora looked at Undertaker. "What is it?"

Undertaker headed back to the cell and Pandora had a flashback to Edge's threats to Vickie about dragging her to Hell. She now guessed what Undertaker was about to do: he was going to make one part of Edge's threat a reality. Before joining him, she pulled out a compact mirror and contacted her Mother. "Mom, I need a favor."

Lacti looked at her through the mirror. "Pandora, what is it?"

"Undertaker is about to send a human named Edge to Hell. I need to look after him."

Lacti grimaced. "What? I'm supposed to look after a human?"

Pandora sighed. "Please, just do this for me. Edge isn't the problem this time and he'll need protection from the demons."

Lacti sighed. "Fine…"

Pandora smiled. "Thank you…and don't tell him." Seeing Lacti nod, Pandora closed the compact and went back to the cell. By that time, the two wrestlers were at the top of two ladders and Undertaker told Edge where he was going. Pandora climbed into the ring and watched as Undertaker chokeslammed Edge through the floor. She sighed and joined Undertaker's side. She knew that Edge would be protected and was no longer as worried as flames shot out of the hole in the ring, signaling where Edge went. She sighed again and sat on the discarded stair next to Undertaker. Seeing him looking at her, she smiled; she told herself that Edge may have a hard time in Hell…but it was still a good message to send to his wife.

In Hell, Lacti dragged Edge into her house and dumped him on the couch. She hated the fact that she had a human in her sight. But she made a promise to her daughter. Plus, she watched the match and saw how brutal Undertaker was to Edge when it was Vickie who caused all the trouble. Lacti looked at Edge and sighed. "With your fierceness, it's a real surprise that you're a human."

Lacti then went into the kitchen to fix dinner for herself. Edge remained unconscious for a couple hours. He finally woke up and was startled to find himself in a foreign living room. He tried to get up but stopped, feeling too sore. Lacti, sitting in a nearby chair, numbly looked up from her book. "Oh, you're up."

Edge managed to sit up and looked at Lacti. "What…the hell…is this?"

Lacti rolled her eyes. "Let's see. I'm Lacti, this is my house, and you're in Hell."

Edge growled softly. He remembered Undertaker telling him and then…the fateful chokeslam. He held his head with one hand. "Who are you?"

Lacti did not answer. "Don't move. Undertaker did a real number on you."

Edge laid back and groaned. He was still confused why this demon was helping him, especially since her tone suggested that she did not care about him. But he knew that he could not argue in his position. He would just have to make the best of it.

About a week later, Edge was starting to get used to life in Hell. Lacti did not allow him to leave the house because demons were craving to destroy him. But Lacti made sure he had everything he needed, even getting human food for him since he could not stomach demon food. He was still sore from the match but he was getting better. He made sure that he kept active to both relieve boredom and reduce stress; he was getting cabin fever and wanted to return to the human world. He also wanted to know why Lacti was helping him but she refused to explain.

One day, after working out, Edge was looking for something else to do. Lacti was working on his meal and gagging at the food. Edge rolled his eyes; he did not want to hear her noises. He needed a distraction to keep him from attacking her and leaving the house…he found it in a framed picture. It was of Pandora, dressed in red version of the outfit that she always wore with Undertaker and posed in a sexy pose. Taking the picture, Edge went to the kitchen and roughly turned Lacti around. "Who is she to you?"

Lacti glared at him, keeping her mouth shut, until Edge grabbed her throat, getting the crazed look in his eye. "Now is not the time to be silent."

Lacti was not afraid but she still answered. "If you must know, Pandora is my daughter…and she asked me to look after you because she took pity on you."

Edge looked at the picture as he let Lacti's throat go. "Pity?"

Lacti massaged her throat. "She said…this time, you weren't the problem. From what I've seen, Vickie is and Pandora felt odd that you got that kind of punishment." Seeing Edge's look made her roll her eyes. "Cheating is normal practice here…especially if your wife is anything like Miss Icky."

Lacti looked at Edge, expecting him to defend his wife. Instead, he went back into the living room. He set the picture back where he found it and kept looking at it. He was starting to see her in a different light.
