Ch 20
*The next Raw*
Raw opened with Shane pacing frantically looking up and down the halls. The moment Hunter appeared with Chyna by his side Shane rushed to them
"Hey, what is going on between you and the Undertaker? Is it going to cause problems? We have enough problems thanks to my mom and Stephanie trying to get control of things after what my Dad did. We need you and Taker to work together, not be at odds," Shane said as Hunter's face filled with frustration.
"There is nothing to worry about, the Deadman and I are fine. There was some drama with my sister but it's all good now," he stopped as his phone started to ring. "Sorry it's Bella," he apologized, answering the phone. "What's up Bella?" he asked. He listened for a few moments as annoyance filled his face. "The car was just fine. I used it this morning. I can't come right now to get Samantha and you. I have a match tonight that decides if I'm in the triple threat match next week for the title shot against Austin. I can't take the risk of missing it," he said, making Bella yell something at him. "Calm the hell down, you'll be fine. You were able to get the car to a parking lot. Just lock the doors, I'll send Chyna to come grab you two," he paused again as Bella fired back at him making him turn red with anger. "Don't you dare start the I don't give a shit about my daughter and you. Everything I do is for you two. I'm not having this conversation with you. Chyna will be there shortly," he hung up letting out a frustrated sigh looking at Chyna and Shane. "Never a dull moment with my little sister, first the Deadman drama, now the car broke down on the way here. Chyna, can you please go…" he stopped when his phone started ringing again. "I told you I'm not…" he stopped mid sentence as Bella said the Undertaker loud enough for the others to hear. She said something else only Hunter could hear then there was a click.
"Are you ok?" Chyna asked.
"The Undertaker is bringing Bella and Samantha to the arena. She says he was heading here and saw them," he said, rubbing his face in frustration. "I have to go get ready. I'll deal with this creepy bullshit with Bella and the Deadman later."
After a few matches, the camera cut to a black truck pulling up. Undertaker got out going around to the other side opening the door letting Bella out. She gave him a sad upset look before trying her best to fake a smile as she opened the back door letting her niece Samantha out.
"Come on Sami, we need to go find your Dad then get to our seats to watch the rest of the show," she put her arm around her niece as Taker led them into the building and through the halls. They rounded a corner as Chyna came out of the locker room.
"Samantha, do you mind if I talk to your aunt for a moment. I'm sure Chyna can take you to your Dad," Taker asked.
"Are you ok Aunt Bella?" Samantha asked, looking at her aunt with concern.
"I'll be fine. I told you there is no reason to fear the Undertaker. Go with Chyna. I'll catch up in a few minutes," she gave her niece a tight hug.
"Thank you for the ride Taker," Samantha softly said heading to Chyna.
"Thank you for coming to get us again. I won't hold you up much longer. I know you have the qualifying match. What do you want to talk about?" Bella asked as her niece disappeared around a corner with Chyna.
"Your brother just failed the first test. He just proved he lacks compassion and loyalty for his family. He didn't care about your safety or his daughter's. After all the times you have dropped everything for him. He couldn't do the same. All he cares about is himself. He only has two more tests if he doesn't pass either of them, you know what happens," he said, reminding her of the deal they had made at the graveyard.
"I'll deal with what happens if he fails. He will pass one of the tests," she crossed her arms looking down at the floor trying to hide her fear that Hunter would let her down.
"He's going to fail, angel," Taker grabbed her chin, making her look back at him. "You are starting to see his true colors, it's breaking your heart. You are strong but not strong enough to stop your heart from completely shattering."
"I'm a lot stronger than you think. Please stop trying to fill my head with doubts," she tried to push his hand away as he caught her hand in his pulling her closer staring down in her eyes for a few moments.
"I'm not putting any doubts in your mind. You feel it in your soul he is going to let you down again like he has a million times before. The only difference is this time when he puts the final stake in your heart I'll be there to pick up the pieces. You're going to be mine, Bella," Taker whispered, keeping a tight hold on her hand. "I have to get ready for my match if you need me I'll know and unlike your brother I'll come to your aid," he slowly released her, stepping away from her as she watched after him trying not to tremble.
It wasn't long till the camera cut to Hunter looking around the hallways till he found Bella talking to Chyna.
"Bella, are you ok?" Hunter came up behind her.
"Oh now you care," she turned, giving him an angry stare. "I'm fine Hunter and so is your daughter because the Undertaker thankfully stopped to help us. He has a match tonight too to qualify for the triple threat title shot match, in fact it's happening in a few minutes right before yours but that didn't stop him from helping us."
"I'm sorry, please don't be a bitch right now. I already apologized to Samantha. She is happy waiting for you to join her at ringside to watch the rest of the show. Can you please just accept my apology and stop complaining?" he tried to reason with her.
"I'm tired of hearing sorry. How about for once you show you care about your family more than this business? Do you think you can do that?" she asked, making him angrily huff and stare daggers at her.
"I do care, that's why everything I'm doing is to get a shot at the championship. What is going on between you and Undertaker anyway? You wanted him to stay away from you now he's always around you. Are you going crazy again?" he asked, changing the subject.
"I wasn't crazy then and I'm not now. What I do with Taker is my business not yours. All I want is for you to act like you care about your family more than work. "
"Enough Bella! I'm warning you right now to stop giving me grief or I'll do what I did last time you started acting up. I will not let you start doing creepy unexplainable things again. Do you understand?" he yelled, making her jump from his temper and his threat.
"I never did anything on purpose. You can't threaten me. You can't control me anymore," she exclaimed.
"You will listen to me! I will not put up with your craziness ever again. Keep pushing me Bella!" he yelled as she trembled then suddenly the fear disappeared from her eyes as she looked at someone behind him. "What the hell are you looking at?" he turned, coming face to face with the Undertaker.
"Do you understand if you keep calling Bella crazy that I'm going to put you in your final resting place?" Taker asked, staring Hunter down.
"I'm really getting sick of you being around my sister," Hunter didn't back down like times before.
"Well then do something about it," Taker shoved Hunter back.
"Stop it both of you!" Bella exclaimed suddenly overhead lights down the hall shattered.
"Whoa what the hell is going on? Taker, there is no reason to make the lights explode," Shane came running, getting in between stopping Hunter. "Hunter, come on, you have a match after Taker's match. I'll get someone to clean up that mess," Shane pointed to the broken glass all over the hall.
"We will talk later Bella about your crazy antics with the Deadman," Hunter gave his sister a disgusted look before hurrying off with Shane and Chyna. Bella let out a deep sigh with tears in her eyes as she watched him go before sinking to the floor burying her face in her hands.
"Bella, calm down. I'm here with you," his tone was very low and hypnotic as Undertaker kneeled down gently, taking her hands away from her face. "Let Shane think I made the lights shatter. We both know it was you. I felt you lose control for a moment. I know it has happened before. I think it's time you shared your dark secrets about other times you have lost control. After I win my match tonight you will share one secret with me," he said, making her look at him with surprise.
"What if you don't win?" she softly asked, making him deeply laugh.
"I will win, especially since my angel will be close by and I want to know your secrets."
"I'm too tired to argue with you. You win, I'll tell you about my past craziness as Hunter calls it. I will trust you won't share what I tell you with anyone else," she stared into his eyes.
"Don't worry I will keep all your dark secrets. Come on, your niece is waiting," he stood up taking her hand pulling her up. "No more tears, angel" he wiped her tears away as the camera faded out.
The moment the Undertaker pinned the big show earning his spot in the triple threat title shot match on the next Raw, the camera panned to Bella watching as the Undertaker stared right at her with an evil grin. She didn't react as he exited the ring keeping his gaze locked on her.
"I'll come claim my secret later tonight angel," he said as he passed her. She slowly nodded in agreement as he walked away with a satisfied smile.
