Chapter 32: An Awful Night
Kristy strapped on her belt and she and Dean left the room. Everyone looked at each other. Dean was right. None of them had seen Kristy that mad. In the arena, the show had just started and the fans were waiting for Angel to come out. Instead, they were greeted with Kristy's music as she walked out with Dean. The fans cheered even though they were confused.
Kristy and Dean walked into the ring and Kristy asked for a microphone. She took a deep breath, feeling more nervous then she had ever done before. Not only that, but she was trying to get her temper under control. Dean placed a hand on her shoulder. Kristy started to speak.
"I know that all of you were expecting the Dead Girl to come out tonight to face Charlotte. However, due to Charlotte coming out to this ring week in and week out to bring up the Dead Girl's past has caused the Dead Girl to have some real personal issues. That being said…
"I want you all to know that the Dead Girl did have a very rough past. However, that does not have anything to do with the present. You all know that I have known the Dead Girl for a good chunk of my life and in all honesty, I am heartbroken and angry. Therefore, I talked with Stephanie McMahon earlier and I will be taking the Dead Girl's place tonight and taking on Charlotte.
"Charlotte, know this. When you come out here, this match is not about the Dead Girl. This is about you, me, and the Diva's Title, so don't think for one second that I will even think about taking it easy on you. Because believe me, I won't. I plan to make you Rest. In. Peace. And I say that on behalf of the Deadman and the Dead Girl" Kristy said.
She threw the microphone down and removed her Diva's Title and threw it to the referee. She popped both of her hearing aids out and handed them over too. Then she waited for Charlotte to come to the ring. When she did, Kristy noticed that she didn't look pleased. Ric didn't look particularly happy about things either. Kristy wondered if Stephanie had warned her about the possibility of a suspension.
Charlotte climbed into the ring and did her entrance. Dean stepped out and stood outside along with Ric, who stood on the side of the ring opposite him. The referee held up the Diva's Title and the bell rang. As soon as it did, Kristy speared Charlotte so hard and fast that it nearly knocked her out of her boots. Then Kristy began beating Charlotte up, striking her face, arms and any other part of her body that she could hit. After about ten to twenty minutes, Charlotte managed to get away and roll out of the ring. She shook her head and began to walk away from the ring. However, as she was about to head back to the back, lightning struck, knocking them both over. Kristy smirked. Angel had snapped out of her near mental breakdown. She rolled from the ring and went and grabbed Charlotte. She dragged "The Queen" back to the ring and rolled her inside.
"You're not going to get away from me. I have permission do deal with you" Kristy mouthed.
She pulled Charlotte to her feet as she spoke. After that, the two of them had one of the most intense Wrestling matches that anyone watching had ever seen. Every time Charlotte tried to mount some sort of offence, Kristy would find a way around it and find a way to swing the match in her favor. However, eventually, she began to feel tired. She had no idea how long the two of them had been wrestling for, but she was starting to feel the effects. Kristy stood up and turned around to face Charlotte and before she knew what had happened she was down on the mat and the referee was counting to three.
It took a few minutes for Kristy to realize that she had lost and was no longer the Diva's Champion. She sat up, looking disappointed in herself. She rolled from the ring and Dean walked over and hugged her. Kristy started to cry as she watched Charlotte celebrating in the ring. Suddenly, lightning bolts struck all four of the ring posts and the lights went out. When they came back on again, Angel stood there, microphone in hand. She cleared her throat. Charlotte turned and was stunned to see her standing there, clearly not in a mental limbo anymore. She instead looked determined.
"There is no more Women's Championship here in WWE, so I'm going to leave you with some advice, you no good, lousy, sneaky little snake. You take that title and you enjoy it because it is going to come to the dark side" Angel said, glaring at her.
Then she dropped her microphone and left the ring to check on Kristy. After realizing that her friend was alright, she, Kristy and Dean headed back to the back. At the top of the ramp Angel turned and looked at Charlotte again. She pointed to her and did the Rest in Peace sign. Then she left. Back in the back, Kristy and Dean were waiting. Kristy was smiling, despite having lost.
"Angel! You're alright. Um…right?" Kristy said.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Don't worry. Let's get you back to the locker room" Angel said.
Kristy nodded, but Angel could tell Kristy was dreading this. She knew why. Bret was going to get on her case about losing to a Flair. Sure enough, the three of them had just opened the locker room door when Bret's angry voice met their ears.
"What the hell happened to you out there?! You lost to her?!" he said.
"Bret, that couldn't have waited about ten seconds to allow them to get into the locker room and get the damn door closed?!" Owen snapped.
"No, it couldn't! A Flair, Kristy? You let a Flair beat you! You're a disgrace!" Bret snapped.
Angel sighed. She pulled Kristy into the room and closed the locker room door and locked it. Then she turned to Bret, glaring at him and looking angrier then he had seen before. She wasn't alone. Dean, Roman, Taker, Kane, Lea and Wyatt had joined in. Kristy had burst into full on tears and had her face buried in Dean's chest.
"A disgrace?! You want to call Kristy a disgrace?! Why don't you shut your damn mouth and be proud of Kristy for putting on one hell of a match against Charlotte Flair. Why can't you be more like Ric? I overheard him talking to the nose and he says that he's proud of Charlotte for even stepping in the ring. If anything, you should be doubly proud of her because she steps into that ring and wrestles without her hearing. You should be hugging her and telling her that she did a great job instead of standing there calling her a disgrace. I've been in the ring with Charlotte. She's not a push over. She's good and she's got more talent in her pinkie finger than her father ever had" Angel snapped.
"Kristy isn't like you or Charlotte, Angel. She had to be pushed to the limit just to stand a chance in this company!" Bret snapped.
That did it. Taker had had enough at that point. Everyone watched as he grabbed Bret right by the throat and pinned him to the wall, holding him off the floor. No one said a word. They just waited to see what Taker would say to his old friend. They knew that Taker respected Bret to the hilt and the feeling was mutual, but he was sick of the way Kristy was being treated and his anger trumped over the respect.
"Should we leave?" Roman whispered.
"Nope. Just shut up and let him say what he needs to and we'll be fine" Angel whispered back.
"You're sure?" Dean asked, not taking his eyes off Kristy.
"Yeah, Dean. I'm sure. Just stay quiet and let him speak his mind and we'll be fine. He's had enough that's all and he's not alone" Angel whispered.
"Yeah, well, right now, I'm scared" Dean said.
"Just be thankful you're not Bret and shut up" Angel said.
"I don't like it when Papa Taker gets angry, but I can't blame him. Bret has treated Mom really bad since she got here" Wyatt said.
"Taker…say what you need to say and put him down. I know that strangling him is super tempting right now, but it isn't going to fix things" Owen said quietly.
"I say let him do it" Wyatt said.
"Me too" Lea said.
"No. Owen's right. Daddy, strangling Bret isn't going to fix things. So, just spit it out and let him go. You know how Kristy gets when you're mad. It scares the crap out of her. Whatever you need to say to Bret, just say it" Angel prompted him.
"Let him hold him up there a little longer. Uncle Bret could stand to lose some hot air from his head" Kristy said, looking up and drying her tears.
"Well, at least say something, Taker. You're mad and rightfully so. Say what you need to say to Bret and then you can hold him there all damn night if you want to" Owen said.
"You're a son of a bitch, Bret Hart" Taker finally said.
"And?" Angel said.
"And you're so busy trying to make Kristy into the Diva you want her to be that you don't notice how good she actually is. You're so wrapped up in holding up your fucking family name that you've forgotten that, at her core, Kristy is a human being. She wins some, she loses some! And if you keep this up, you're going to either lose her, have her walk away from you or have me step in and get her the hell away from you!" Taker snapped.
"He wouldn't do that would he?" Dean asked.
"He would. Kristy's his God daughter. He's always done whatever needed to be done to keep her safe" Angel said.
"There's more to it then just her being his God daughter though, isn't it?" Roman asked.
"Yeah. Kristy was there for Daddy when my Mom died and I was gone. She was like a daughter that he couldn't take home with him. Kristy didn't understand what had happened—not when she was younger anyway—but she knew he was sad pretty much all the time and she stuck close to him" Angel explained.
"I was the only one that could cheer him up when he was having a bad day" Kristy said.
"And when she got older and found out more about what had happened when she was small, they connected more. They were both oddly bonded by the fact that they felt that had nobody. Daddy would do whatever it takes to keep Kristy safe. He's even said that if it wasn't for Davey loving and caring about Kristy the way he does, he would have adopted her a long time ago" Angel said.
"I'm beginning to see why" Dean said.
"She was the closest thing he had to a daughter" Roman added.
"Yep. And if he's got to get Kristy away from Bret then he will. And he'll do it however he feels he needs to" Owen said.
"No matter how many times this happens, I'm still not used to it" Kristy said.
"That's because Daddy only steps in and defends you if he thinks you can't defend yourself. And when it comes to your family and their crazy ass antics, he'll step in faster than any of us can blink. He knows how they are and that you can't handle it even after twenty-four years of it" Angel said.
"Isn't that the truth" Kristy said.
"I am not going to let you sit here and talk down to Kristy anymore. I am not going to let you treat her badly anymore. And I'm damn sure not going to let her be treated the same way on the road as she is back home!" Taker growled, still holding Bret against the wall.
"Uh oh. Come on guys, we'd better get out of here. This is about to get ugly" Kristy advised.
"But, Mom. I want to see Bret get what he deserves" Wyatt said.
Kristy looked from Wyatt to Taker and back. She sighed and nodded. They just watched to see what Taker would do next. To everyone's shock, he dropped Bret to the floor. Then he turned and looked at Kristy. She walked over and gave him a hug. Roman and Dean looked at each other. Taker's anger had vanished just as quickly as it had appeared.
"Thanks, Uncle Taker" Kristy said.
"It's what I do, Little Kristy. I know I don't have to, so don't even say it" Taker said.
"Still. Thank you" Kristy said.
"You're welcome" Taker said.
"So what are we going to do about him?" Angel asked, nodding at Bret.
"This should knock him back in line. If not permanently, then at least for a bit" Nattie said.
"I hope so. All this does is make extra stress for us all" Tyson said.
"Yeah, well, if he falls out of line again, I'm done. I won't have any more to do with him. As much as it hurts me to say that and as much as I love Uncle Bret, I'm tired of walking on eggshells every time I lose a match. To the point where I'm taking my contractual rematch and giving it to Angel because I don't want another lecture—if you want to call it that—if I lose" Kristy said.
"What?! Kristy, you can't give up your mandatory rematch! Let alone give it to me! Are you nuts?!" Angel asked.
"I don't want to deal with him" Kristy said.
"OK. I'll take your place in the mandatory rematch, but only if you're a hundred percent that this is what you want to do. Are you sure?" Angel asked.
"Yes, Ang. I'm sure. I don't want to deal with Uncle Bret on the off chance that I lose and you have some unfinished business to attend to with Charlotte, so tomorrow, we're going to let Stephanie know what happened and that you're taking my place" Kristy said.
Angel nodded, but she didn't feel right, taking Kristy's mandatory rematch, but she didn't voice this opinion. She just asked if they could go now and talk to Stephanie and get it over with. Kristy agreed, thinking it was better to get it over with now. The two girls left and headed to the locker room.
On the way to see Stephanie, they bumped into Charlotte herself and she wasn't alone. She was standing there with her father and Hunter. She was dressed in her street clothes but she had the Diva's Title around her waist already. Kristy noticed that the name plate had already been changed and she pointed it out to Angel. Angel noticed the tears threatening to overwhelm her friend. Charlotte started to speak, but Angel held up her hand.
"Don't alright? Don't even start" she said.
"If it isn't the former Diva's Champion. Sorry for your loss, Kristy" Hunter said.
"Bullshit you are" Kristy snapped.
"You're not sorry, Hunter. You didn't want Kristy as Champion because of her family. We all know it, so don't bother to pretend you care" Angel snapped.
"What are you going to do about it, Dead Girl?" Ric asked.
"I'm gonna do something that Hunter is going to hate even more. That title is gonna come home to the Dark Side for the first time ever. So, like I said earlier, Charlotte, enjoy being the Champ while you have it because you aren't gonna have it for long" Angel snapped.
"Dead Girl, provided you can keep you head clear long enough to beat Charlotte and then actually beat Charlotte, you'd make a better champion than your little friend there" Hunter told her.
That pushed Kristy over the edge. She started to cry. Angel growled under her breath. She reacted by throwing Hunter backwards into the closest wall. Charlotte screamed and Ric backed away slowly. Angel grabbed Kristy and ran with her back to the locker room. Bret was gone when they got there and Owen and Taker stood up at the same time as Dean did. Kristy ran to him first. He hugged her.
"Hey, what happened?" Dean said.
"We bumped into Charlotte, Ric, and the nose. He basically said that I will make a better Champion than Kristy "provided I can keep my head clear long enough" and then "actually beat Charlotte". His words, not mine. I have no idea what he's playing at. By the way, where's Bret?" Angel said.
"He's gone to talk to Stephanie about taking a few weeks off so he could work out some stuff. I'm thinking your Dad actually got him to open his eyes to how he's been treating Kristy this whole time" Owen said.
Angel nodded. At least something had gone right that night. It felt like it had been a horrible night with Angel not being able to compete, Kristy losing her title and Bret berating her for it and having Charlotte add salt to the wound, it had been one of the worst nights Angel could remember.
That's all for now. I hope you guys liked it. Will try to update again as soon as possible. I love you guys! Thanks for the reviews! You guys are the best. Bye for now!~Taker's Soul Girl
