Summary:
After sending Angelus to hell Buffy goes to the only people she can trust
“Please
be in”, Buffy said to herself.
She
hadn’t stopped moving since she left Sunnydale. She
still couldn’t believe all that had happened. In the space of a few hours her
whole world had been destroyed. She didn’t think life could get worse after she
had lost Angel but fate just had to prove her wrong once again. So she was
outside the door of the only people in the world who truly understood her.
The
door open and the man who was standing in front of her couldn’t believe his
eyes
“Bethy”, he just looked at her.
“I….”, she couldn’t
say anything else and she collapsed right in front of him.
“Jeff get your ass
out here now”, Matt shouted at his brother.
Jeff jumped off the couch followed by Lita.
“What?…”, he trailed
off as he saw who Matt was holding.
“What’s
wrong with her?”, he took Buffy off him and took her over to the couch
and laid her on it.
“I
don’t know Lita phone Giles and see what’s happened”, Matt asked his
girlfriend.
The redhead done as she was asked as the Hardyz waited on their little sister coming round.
“Oh my god”, they both turned around at the
sob that came from Lita, she turned around to face them with tears in her eyes.
She slammed the phone down.
“Oh Buffy”, she kneeled down beside the girl
who she had came to know as a sister and cried for all she had been through.
When
she had finally calmed down she explained everything to Matt and Jeff. They all
knew about Buffy. She had told them when she was called. They actually used to
help her before she moved to Sunnydale with Joyce.
As they were old enough they had got to choose
what they wanted to do and as they were getting more into wrestling they
decided to stay in
“I
knew there was something wrong with her”, Jeff whispered as he stroked her
hair.
Although Matt was close to her it was Jeff
that she was inseparable from.
“The last time we talked she joked she had man
troubles but I could hear it in her voice”, he looked over at his brother
.
Buffy stirred and opened her eyes.
“What?’, she jumped
up and looked around her.
She saw who was sitting around her
“You
always liked to make an entrance sweetheart”, Jeff pulled her to him for a hug.
Matt joined in and she saw Lita standing there
“There’s room for one more Lits”,
she grinned as the redhead joined in..
After
something to eat and drink she told them the whole story and they all decided
she was going to stay with them for the time being.
“I hate to be the bearer of bad news but what
about school?”, Lita handed her another cup of coffee.
“I don’t know”, Buffy admitted.
“Wherever I go will need my transcripts and
you know what happens then”, they all nodded.
“How about we talk to Vince?”,
Matt suggested “She knows how to fight and we can show her some other moves”.
“Sounds like a plan”, Jeff said stuffing his
face with Buffy’s left over pizza.
“You nervous?”,
Matt grinned at her.
“A
bit”, she admitted.
They had just left Vince’s office and Buffy
had signed a contract. He had asked her to show him some moves and he was
impressed. Even Jeff and Matt couldn’t pull out half the moves that she had
done. Her first match was in five minutes against Molly Holly. She was actually
making her way to the ring now.
“You sure you don’t want us to stay”, Matt
walked up behind them.
He
and Matt had already had their match and were getting ready to leave for the
hotel.
“It’s
okay honestly Lits will be here to keep me company”,
she answered.
Lillian
was already in the ring with Molly. Since she didn’t have her own music yet
Buffy used Matt and Jeff’s.
“And being accompanied to the ring by Lita, the newest member of
Team Extreme.
This is Buffy”.
At the mere mention of anything to do with the
Hardyz the crowd went wild. Buffy ran rings around
this girl and the match was over in less than five minutes.
“Who
is that?”, Lita shivered in disgust.
She knew it was Bishoff
before she had turned around. Nobody else smelt like that. He had been trying
it on with her for months and no matter how everyone tried to stop him he
wouldn’t let up.
“Get lost”, she spat out and jumped into the
ring to celebrate with Buffy.
Eric
walked back up the tron and stopped at the top.
“Oh Lita”, they both turned around.
“I’ve decided you will fight tonight in a
handicap match against Gail Kim and Victoria”,
He saw Buffy whispering something to her
“And
by the way”, he continued
“If your little Barbie gets involved you will
both be sacked”
Lita had to stop Buffy from going after him.
“I never thought I would say this”, the Slayer
said.
“But I’d prefer a vamp any day”.
Gail
and Victoria made their way to the ring and the bell was rung. Buffy was
powerless to do anything and she didn’t know how but Lita won the match. She
looked up at Bishoff with a smirk on her face.
“You
think you’ve won you little bitch”, he said to himself.
“Fine”, he said let’s make this fair.
“Since
you two are so tight you can team up against someone else……Kane”.
Everything
just turned silent and Buffy wondered what was going on.
She
got her answer when he started walking down the ramp. The guy was massive and
he looked pissed. She looked over at the redhead and it was obvious there was
no way she would be able to help the other woman.
“Shit”, she said to herself.
Rather than fight him she done the only thing
she could do with an injured Lita beside her. She got them both counted out and
back up the ramp before Kane could touch them. She stopped when she got to Bishoff
“Eric”, she smiled at him
“Yes Barbie”, his sneer soon turned into a look of
pain when Buffy headbutted him.
“Nothing”, she said as she got Lita backstage.
“Who
the hell is she?”, Kane wasn’t happy.
He had been made to look a fool in front of
everyone. That little bitch wasn’t going to get away with it.
“According to Vince she is the Hardyz little sister”
Eric had an icepack on his nose.
“ Put me in a match
against her next week”, Kane growled at him.
“Consider it done just do me one favor”
Kane looked at him.
“Make
her bleed”.
Luckily
Lita had only bruised her arm but that didn’t stop Matt and Jeff from going
mad.
“If
you need anything just shout okay sweetie”, Buffy made sure the bed was comfy
for her.
“Thanks Buf”, Lita
laid her hand over the Slayer’s.
“Nobody hurts my family”, she bent over and
kissed the redhead’s forehead before turning the light out and letting her
rest.
“How
is she?”, Matt was worried about his girl.
“Tired
mostly”, Buffy answered.
“She just needs rest”.
“How about you?”,
Jeff patted the seat next to him and Buffy sat down.
“To be honest I was that worried about Lita I
haven’t thought once about Sunnydale”
She
was telling the truth. She honestly hadn’t. She looked over and saw Matt
staring at the bedroom door. She got up and walked over to him.
“I promise you Matt”, she took a hold of him.
“With all that’s in my heart I won’t let them
hurt her big brother”. “Now go in there and make sure your girl is all right”.
He grinned “I really missed you Bethy”, and he went into the room shutting the door behind
him.
“What
do you think they will do?” Jeff moved to make room for her.
“I don’t know I honestly don’t but we both
know Bishoff is capable of anything”, she looked at
him before walking over to the window.
“Is Kane really that dangerous?”, she asked her brother.
“Worse”,
he admitted.
She
opened the curtain and the sight that was below her made her gasp.
“What’s wrong?’, Jeff
asked.
“Nothing”, she lied
“There
was a bird on the ledge and I got a fright is all”.
She shut the curtain and sat back down beside
him.
Underneath the window the figure
hadn’t moved since he arrived at the spot over an hour ago. The object of his
attention had finally appeared. He hated her and was going to make her pay for
embarrassing him in front of all those people. The only problem was the
stirring he felt every time he saw her.
Part 2
Summary: What Kane wants he gets
“Tell her she isn’t going back yet Buf”, Matt yelled into his little sister’s ear.
“I’m next to you Matty
not in
“But I do agree with him though you
aren’t ready to go back yet Lits”, she looked over at
the redhead.
“Honestly I feel fine”, she
stretched trying to get out of bed.
Buffy reached out and as gently as
she could touched her ribs.
“Motherfucker”, Lita screamed.
“There you go”, Buffy said.
Her ribs had been broken after the viscous
attack and it had taken ages for them to heal. When she had thought they were
okay she went back and done even more damage when she tried to do a moonsault and cracked the ones that hadn’t already been
hurt.
“But”, Lita didn’t bother arguing
any further she knew when Buffy had her mind set on something she wouldn’t
budge.
“Anyway Matt’s got the next few days
off too”, Jeff mumbled walking into the room.
“Bloody hell Jeff”, Buffy grumbled.
The Piece of cake he was eating had sprayed
over Buffy as he was talking.
“I tell you I’m buying that bib tomorrow”, she
brushed herself off.
“You should take the time off too J”, she
looked at him seriously.
She knew she could handle Kane and Bishoff but her family was another matter all together. She
didn’t know how far Bishoff was prepared to go.
Checking her watch she swore and walked into the living room to get her coat “I
forgot I had that meeting with the lawyer today”. She bent down and gave Lita a
kiss on the cheek.
“If I see any of you there tonight
I’m going to be seriously pissed okay”, she waited until all three nodded at
her then walked out the door.
She went to the bistro where they
had arranged to meet and asked the waitress if he was there yet. She was
pointed in the direction of a total hottie. He was in
his mid twenties and had blonde hair. He looked up as he saw her coming and
smiled.
“Buffy”, he held out his hand.
Buffy nodded and took it
“I’m Lindsey McDonald”, he gave her
another smile before sitting back down.
They were there to discuss her
mother’s will. She had died just over a month ago. Although she was upset over
it she hadn’t gone to pieces like the other’s thought she would. She just
couldn’t get it out of her head that Joyce had disowned her when she had
admitted to being the Slayer. None of them had got in contact with her apart
from a letter from Giles saying Angel had reappeared.
She wrestled with it for days but
decided that since she had made a fresh start Angel was in her past. Sure it
had hurt like hell but it would have been worse seeing him everyday and not
being able to touch him.
When she looked at it like that she
realized what he had told her was true. She had just been a teenage girl in
love with an older man a much older man. If only she had listened when he told
her but she couldn’t change anything now and to be honest she really didn’t
want to.
“She has left you her whole estate including
the gallery and the house Ms Summers”, Lindsey explained.
“Call me Buffy”, she replied looking
over the papers.
“Oh hell”, she yelled when she saw the amount
on the page and looked up at him.
“It’s got to be a mistake”.
“No Ms…Buffy your mother was a very wealthy
woman and it’s now yours”.
“Okay”,
she said after she thought for a few minutes.
“Sell the gallery and the house”
He looked pensive “There is actually
some people staying there at present a Mr Rupert Giles, Alexander Harris and
Willow Rosenberg”.
“Sell it”, she shrugged.
He nodded and looked back down at
his notes.
“I don’t normally do this but I was wondering
if you would like to go out for a meal tonight”, he looked nervous.
“Sure”, she answered right away.
“I have to go now but pick me up
here at 10 is that okay?”, she handed him a bit paper
and he nodded.
“See you then”.
She got home and packed a bag so she
could change after the show and made it to the arena just in time for the show
starting. Looking at the call sheets she breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t
been booked for a match tonight.
“Buffy Buffy”,
she turned around and saw Bishoff standing behind
Kane.
“You know one day your
going to have to take his reins off”, she said to Kane.
“Eric’s a big boy now aren’t you boo
boo”, she baby talked the General Manager.
“Funny Blondie you know maybe
tonight I might put you in a match with Kane”, he smiled when the grin
disappeared from her face.
“In fact I’ll just do that”, and he
strolled away down the corridor whistling.
“Out my way monkey boy” she sighed
when he was away.
Kane made no attempt to move.
Instead he pushed her against the wall.
“You better learn to be nice to me
girl”, he growled at her.
“You don’t want to piss me off”.
He kissed her and was shocked when she
returned it but it soon turned to pain when she bit right into his lips drawing
blood.
“Do that again and we’ll see just
how dangerous you really are”, she snarled and walked away from him.
She was really starting to annoy him.
“Kane your match is next” the producer came
over to him and was literally thrown through the wall for his troubles.
The match didn’t take long. As soon
as it started
“Thanks Chris”, Buffy smiled at him
and gave him a quick kiss as they walked back up the ramp leaving a fuming Kane
in the ring.
“Thanks for letting me borrow your
man girl” Buffy smiled at Trish who was sitting on
“No bother anything to annoy Bishoff”, the small blonde grinned.
“So where are you going tonight”
She had on a baby blue figure
hugging dress and she had stuck her hair up leaving a few strands to hang down.
He worshipped the ground Trish
walked on but he was only a man after all. If he hadn’t been with her he would
be at the front of the queue asking the youngest Hardy out. And from what he
heard it was a very very long queue.
“He should be outside now. I’ll see
you later and thanks again”, she grinned as she made her way outside.
She sensed somebody was watching her
and didn’t have to look to know who it was. She turned and gave him a little
wave before walking into the car park.
Lindsey was there to meet her and he
took her to a gorgeous restaurant.
When the bill arrived she almost
choked.
“With all that money you got now
you’re taking me out next time”, he winked at her.
“Thanks for a lovely night”, she
smiled at him.
They were outside her front door
saying goodbye. He closed in and kissed her. She gave in. It was about time she
got herself a new honey.
“Hmm hmm”
They broke apart to see both Jeff and Matt
staring at them.
Lindsey looked nervous but Buffy
just smiled.
“I’ll call you tomorrow”, he said
and gave her a quick kiss before walking back to his car and driving off.
“It won’t work you know”, she said
going into the house followed by her two brothers.
“What won’t?” Jeff was standing with
his hands on his hips ready to explode.
“You trying to scare
every guy off. Eventually one will slip through” she laughed and went into her
bedroom.
“I don’t trust him” Jeff growled.
For once Matt was in total agreement with him.
“Is that you”
“Yeah sorry I’m so late” Lindsey
shouted up the stairs.
“The meeting went on longer than I
thought it would”.
“Okay I’ll see you later then” he
shouted back down and shut the bedroom door after he entered.
Lindsey sighed. He wished he could
just tell the truth but he would get the third degree all night if he did. As
he was undressing he looked into the mirror
“Why did I have to have a brother
like Kane” he sighed.
Part 3
Summary: Kane learns interesting
facts about Buffy and Lyndsey.
Set a month after the last story.
“Why can’t you”, Buffy was in the
middle of trying to convince Lyndsey to let her meet
his brother and it was an argument she wasn't winning.
“Because he’s a freak”, he replied
honestly. “Anyway isn’t there something else we could be doing right now?” he
rubbed up her bare leg.
The pair of them were
in Lyndsey’s bed. The only reason they were there was
he knew Kane was abroad on a promo visit or he would never have brought her
home. “Mmmm”, Buffy murmured “nice”.
Lyndsey moved her on top of him and started nuzzling her neck while
trying to take her shirt off.
Bring Bring Buffy’s cell started ringing interrupting them.
“I have to answer it baby”, she
moaned as his hand went further down her stomach.
“Hello”, she answered. He felt her
go stiff and she got off him.
“Ok I’ll be ten minutes” she sighed
and then hung up.
She got off the bed and started
getting dressed. He lay back admiring the view while he waited on an
explanation. She started mumbling something but all he could make out were some
curse words.
“What’s wrong baby?” she hadn’t
heard him come up behind her until she felt his arms go around her waist.
“That was Lita, it seems some of the
Sunnydale gang have decided
to visit me”, she snapped. He moved his hands away and sat on the bed.
Realizing what she had done she went over beside him and sat down.
“I’m sorry Lynds
it’s just this is the last thing I needed right now” she cuddled into him.
“Want me to come with you”, he
traced his hand up and down her arm trying to comfort her.
“It’s ok”, she smiled as he kissed
the top of her head. “This will take a while and you’ve got that meeting
tomorrow”.
She finished getting dressed without
looking at him. Every instinct was telling her to get back in bed with him and
stay there but she had to see the others one last time. She wanted to show them
she had made a life away from Sunnydale and away from
being the Slayer.
He walked her to the door and kissed
her goodbye. He had just got back to his room when the doorbell rang again.
“Can’t live without me sweetheart”,
his smile turned to a frown when he seen his brother standing at the door.
“I thought you were in
“It got cancelled”, Kane shrugged as
he got a beer out of the fridge. He detected a familiar smell but as much as he
racked his brains he couldn’t remember where he smelt it.
“So you had some bimbo over then?”, he flung a beer at Lyndsey.
“She’s not a bimbo and yes I had
Buffy over”, as he said the last part Kane choked on his beer.
“Did you just say Buffy?’, he walked over to his brother. “As in five foot nothing
blonde hair Buffy”.
“Yeah”, Lyndsey
nodded. “How do you know her?”.
“She’s the Hardyz
little sister”, he sat on the chair.
“As in Matt and Jeff”, Kane nodded.
“She never told me”.
“Ain’t
that a surprise. If you want my
advice stay away from her”.
Lyndsey looked over at him “Oh my god that’s who you’ve got the hard on
for isn’t it” he fumed.
For the last few months Kane had
been coming home and going on and on about this new girl who had joined the
company. It was obvious he had it bad for the girl. Lyndsey
knew she had to be special, as it had been a long time since Kane had been
bothered as much over one person.
“Yeah sure whatever”, Kane growled
as he got up and made his way to his room. The last thing he heard before he
shut the door was
“Stay the hell away from her, she’s
mine”.
“Son of a bitch”, Kane snarled as he
punched the wall. If it wasn’t bad enough that the bitch already had him by the
balls she just had to be dating his brother. She had probably found out from
another wrestler and played on it. There’s no way she’ll get away with it
though.
The Hardyz
home
“I really think you should go”, Lita
was trying to get Angel, Giles and
“Not until we speak to her”, the
younger man she was told was called Angel answered.
“Yes I’m afraid we need to talk to
her”, the English one added.
“It is really important there is a
chance the Hellmouth will be opened again”.
“And that’s got what to do with me?”, they all turned to see Buffy standing in the doorway.
They were shocked. She had turned
from a cute teenager into a sexy woman in the space of six months. She was a
completely different person to the one who had left Sunnydale.
“You need to go”, She
pointed towards the door and started tapping her feet when it was obvious they
weren’t going anywhere.
“Buffy w…...we need to talk”, Giles
stammered. “A group of vampires have found a way to open the Hellmouth again”.
“Like I said before what has this to
do with me. Check the bulletin I’m not the Slayer anymore Giles”.
“Buffy we really need your help”,
“Pity you didn’t think of that a
while ago”, Lita added.
“Buffy stop being a brat okay and
get your things. We all know you will in the end”, Angel was getting tired of
this.
“Fuck off Angel”, Buffy yelled as
she stormed out the house with him hot on her heels”.
“Will you wait girl”, he rushed
after her and tried to grab her arm. He succeeded but only because she had
stopped.
“Move your arm or this story will
have a dusty ending”, she snarled at him.
He couldn’t believe what he was
hearing “Buffy you are a vampire slayer you can’t just give up because it is
difficult”.
This was like a red rag to a bull
for her. “Where the hell do you get off saying that to me”, she screamed. “You
all abandoned me. How long was I gone before I even got a phone call from any
of you huh”.
“Exactly”, after he didn’t answer
“You don’t have an answer. Angel I’m not the same person anymore. I’m not the
young girl who used to fall at your feet”.
“I did miss you”, he tried to touch
her but she shrugged his hand off. “Well I didn’t miss you. The only reason
you’re here is you need my help or you wouldn’t have bothered.”
She walked away then stopped
“Because of what we used to have I’ll give you a chance. Be away by the time I
get back or I stake you”, and she turned and walked away.
Neither of them noticed the man in
the alley grinning.
Next day
“Bastard I wish we had seen him”,
Jeff was still going mad over Buffy’s visit last night. By the time he and Matt
had got home the Sunnydale crowd had left to go back.
“Calm down J”, Buffy stroked his arm
trying to calm him down. “I sent them packing they won’t be back”.
They made their way into the arena
and all went their separate ways to prepare for the show that night.
“Buffy can we talk?’, she turned to see Eric standing there.
“What about?”,
Buffy wasn’t sure what he was playing at.
“If you are going to stay here I
think we should clear the air”, he held out his hand.
“Yeah… I’m not buying It Eric”, she tried to walk away.
“Please”, Eric stopped her. “I went
to far okay I know that especially with Lita but I think if you let me we could
work well here together”.
“You’re a good wrestler Buffy really
good and I think you could go far”, he held his hand out again.
Buffy knew she couldn’t trust him
but if she got along with him it would make life in the business a lot easier.
“Okay”, she said and accepted the
handshake.
“Right I’ll let you go and prepare
for tonight then”, he smiled at her and left.
“Something’s up”, she said to
herself. Shaking her head she continued down the corridor and was about to walk
into the make-up room when she heard a familiar voice.
She started smiling until she saw who he was with and the next words out of his
mouth “I’ll tell her okay next time I see her”, he promised.
“Tell me what”, she walked over and
confronted him.
“Baby hi”, he bent down and kissed
her.
“You know Kane right?’, he looked between the pair of them.
The glare towards his brother told Lyndsey that she knew him only too well.
“Well I didn’t know you knew each
other or I would have told you”, he laughed nervously.
“Oh for fuck sake”, Kane snarled.
“He’s my little brother”, he added a
smile with the last word.
Buffy’s answer was to slap Lyndsey and then walk away.
He moved to follow her but was stopped
by Kane. “Let me go. This needs to be sorted once and for all”.
He found her in a
empty dressing room. “That wasn’t very nice”, he walked over to her. “Since your like my sister in law I think we should get along”.
“Screw you”, she snarled.
“Good idea”, he snorted and picked
her up. “Very good idea. He moved them over to the
table and sat her on it. He placed himself between her legs so she couldn’t
move.
“This finishes now”, he snarled
before kissing her. She gave in for a few seconds then pushed him away before
getting off the table.
“What’s wrong?’,
he asked. “I know you want to”.
That was the problem she did want
to. But why she was with Lyndsey and he doted on her.
Maybe Spike had been right when he said she needed the darkness.
That was why she was so shocked they
were related whilst Lyndsey was all sweetness and
light Kane was dark and bitter. So why was she regretting stopping the kiss.
She turned to see him watching her.
“You think I’m evil?”, he walked over to her. He
stopped suddenly when she burst out laughing. “What’s so funny?’, he fumed.
“Your not evil Kane trust me”, she
looked at him. He may look the part but she knew true hell and he wasn’t it by
a long shot. Angelus had told her that.
She pushed him against the wall.
“You want to be really careful doing the big red monster act”, she whispered to
him.
“Or one day you will learn what a
real monster is”, she looked him in the eye and then walked out the room.
The look in her eye made Kane feel
something he had never felt before and he didn’t like it. When she had looked
at him he finally knew what real fear was.
“What
are you”, he asked the empty room worried that he had got in far too deep
Part 4
Summary: Buffy has to choose and
she’s sure there is only one choice.
“Can we talk Lits?”
Buffy had come into the redhead and Matt’s bedroom and the other woman knew
instantly something was wrong.
“Sure Buttercup sit
down?” she patted the bed next to her.
“What do you know about Kane?” she
kept her head down.
“Apart from him being a psycho not
much why?”
“Just answer Lits
please”
“Okay” she tried to remember
“He was burnt in a fire when he was
younger and he had to wear a mask for a long time. He was actually a cool guy
but one day he just snapped and set JR on fire” she shuddered thinking about
it.
“And that’s how he’s been ever
since”
“Did you know he had a brother?”
Buffy looked up.
“Yeah Taker” Lita walked into the
living room.
“No” Buffy shook her head “Lyndsey”
“You mean your man Lyndsey” Lita turned back
Buffy nodded her head “That’s not
the worst bit”
Lita sat back down
“He kissed me. He said he wants me”
she looked out the window.
“Shit” Lita sat down “But that’s not
the problem is it?”
Buffy shook her head “I don’t know
what’s wrong with me” she felt the tears falling “I know it’s wrong but”
“I know honey” she pulled her to her
“But it’s not unexpected what with Angel being your first” she tried to calm
the younger girl.
“Lits you in?” Matt
shouted from the living room.
“There you are..what the fucks going on?” He saw the state of Buffy
and rushed over to her.
“Is it they bastards from Sunnydale. I swear I’ll kill them all” he fumed.
“No it’s not” Lita assured him but
didn’t say more she didn’t want to say anything else unless Buffy said so.
The phone ringing interrupted them
“Hello?” Lita answered.
“It’s Eric is Buffy there?”
“She’s busy”
“Please it’s important”
“Buffy it’s Bishoff
for you”
“I’ll talk to him” She stood up
“Hello”
“Sorry to bother you but I have a
few guys here I would like you to give some pointers to before the show
tomorrow”
“When”
“Tonight at the gym”
“I’ll be there” And she put the
phone down.
“I have to go help Bishoff” She looked over at Matt before going to get her
coat
The pair of them followed her out
“Will someone tell me what’s going
on” Matt shouted
“What the hell are you shouting for
Matt?” Jeff walked in just as Buffy reached the door.
“I’ll tell them” Lita answered.
Buffy gave her a smile before she
walked out the door.
WOLFRAM AND HART
“So nothing happened then?” Lindsey
asked for the fifth time
“I SAID NO” his brother yelled at
him “Now can I go I have to meet Bishoff in ten
minutes”
“Why are you so friendly with him
anyway?”
“Need him on side” he shrugged.
“Anyway I have a funny feeling he’s setting your girl up”
“Why say that?” Lyndsey
shot up.
“Out of the blue he’s apologized and
said he needs her help with some rookies but they could only work at night” he
sniffed the flower before grimacing.
“Where are you going?” he shouted at
Lyndsey as he ran out the room.
“Matt and Jeff’s I think we have a
problem”
AT THE GYM
“I’m glad you could do this Buffy”
Eric smiled as he showed Buffy the way into the gym.
“I’ll leave you to it” he shut the
door behind her leaving her with the five men.
“Okay.” She turned around. “You are vampire’s and why wouldn’t I know that?”
They all rushed her at once. She was
in serious trouble.
Eric grinned from outside “Let’s see
who’s really in charge bitch”
He went for a walk around town and
then made his way back to the gym.
“What the fuck did you do?” he
turned to see Jeff, Matt, Lyndsey and Kane staring at
him with murder in their eyes.
All of the walls were covered in blood and
there was a body lying on the other side of the room.
“I don’t care let’s just find her”
Lindsey walked over to Eric.
“But I swear if she is hurt in any
way I will personally make sure you suffer” he flung him away from him.
“Where the hell is she?” he yelled at
no one.
“Don’t know but I swear we will find
her” Jeff walked past him.
He turned to look at Kane and saw
the same look in his eye for about a second before it disappeared.
His brother felt more for Buffy than
what he was letting on. When they found her they were going to have a talk.
Part 5
SUMMARY: IS Buffy safe and is that
the only problem
“I don’t know where she is” Lyndsey was pacing the floor
They had looked all night and they
still couldn’t find Buffy.
“Well I ain’t
stopping until we find her” Jeff yawned.
“Come on this is Buffy right?” Kane
looked at the other three men
They nodded
“Well she could handle them couldn’t
she?”
“I suppose Matt agreed. Hell she can
take down ancient vampires and demons she can handle some lackeys”
BRING BRING
“Hello?” Jeff answered
“Hello Mr Hardy your General Manager
here”
“Listen you son of a bitch..
“Now that’s no way to talk. Well I
suppose your wondering why I’m phoning?”
“Just get on with it you piece of
shit”
“Charming well just to say you and
your gang of wannabe’s better turn up tonight or your
all fired”
“You can’t…
“Bye Bye”
The phone went dead
“Bishoff?” Kane
asked
Jeff nodded “He said we have to turn
up or we’re sacked”
BRING BRING
“Bishoff I
swear….
“It’s Lita I just got a call from
the hospital Buffy needed a few stitches but she’s fine”
“We’re on our way”
They were in the emergency room in
less than an hour. Lita was waiting for them.
“Buffy” Matt ran over to her
“She’s fine baby” she hugged him
then Jeff
“Did she say what happened?” Kane
asked
Lita took a double take when she saw
him but shook her head
“The police are in just now as she’s
getting stitched up”
The Doctor in charge came over
“Are you the relatives of “Elizabeth
Summers?”
“Yes she’s our little sister I’m
Jeff Hardy and this is my brother Matt” Jeff walked forward.
“Hardy?” the doctor was confused
“ Our mom changed her name back when our parents got divorced and she
changed Buffy I mean
The doctor nodded satisfied
“Now as I’m sure you know your
sister will be fine. It seems she was attacked as she was walking home.
Somebody stabbed her in the neck with something like a pitch fork”
He missed the looks that passed
between the others
“Unfortunately she never got a look
at her attackers and she was lucky enough that the weapon never went any
deeper”
“Can she go home?” Lyndsey asked
“Yes as soon as the police are
finished with her.
They only had to wait another five
minutes before they were allowed in the room
Jeff was the first to grab her
followed by Matt
“Don’t you try anything like that
again Buffy” they squeezed her
“Oxygen..Need…Now” she gasped out
“Give the girl some room” Lita
pushed the guys away before she gave her sister a hug.
That is when Buffy noticed Lyndsey
“Hi baby” she smiled at him and
opened her arms
“He is going to pay I promise” he
wouldn’t let her go
“Come on I’m fine honestly”
“I think we need to talk?” he looked
at her
She nodded
“Can we have some space guys?”
They all left leaving Buffy and Lyndsey alone in the room.
“Kane”
“Kane”
“If you want him Buffy just tell me
and I’ll walk away” he looked at her with puppy dog eyes.
She smiled
“I’m going to be honest” she lied
“When it happened it was you I
thought about not your brother”
“So your
still my girl?”
“Always”
What they didn’t notice was the man
outside who heard it all
NEXT DAY
KNOCK KNOCK
“Bloody hell” Buffy swore
She had been enjoying her lie in.
She turned and saw Lyndsey was still in the land of
nod.
“Guess I have to get it” she sighed
before finding something to where
“What?” she answered the door.
“That was Vince on the phone he
wants the whole company in for a meeting ASAP” Jeff answered.
“We’re leaving in ten minutes”
“I’ll be ready”
“What would he want?” the sound of
Buffy getting ready woke her boyfriend up.
“Don’t know” she sat on the bed
putting her boots on
“You coming?”
No not my thing. I’ll stay behind
and clean up. I don’t have to be in the office until
“Okay Baby” she bent down and kissed
him before leaving the room.
“Anybody know what it’s about?” Lita
asked as everybody was finding a seat.
“I guess everyone got the same message?”
Trish answered.
“Whatever it was he didn’t sound
happy” Benoit added.
At that exact moment Vince entered
the room followed by Linda and Stephanie
“Can everybody take a seat please”
he said
When everyone’s attention was on him
he continued
“At
“The body of Eric Bishoff was found at around
Everybody stood there in shock. Everyone apart from four people.
“Now the police are here to take
statements from everyone in the hope that they can figure out who would do
something like this”
Everyone nodded
“Okay he would like to start with
you Kane if that’s okay?”
The man nodded and followed him out
of the room.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if it was
him he is a total freak” Trish leant back to whisper to them.
The other’s nodded.
By the afternoon everyone had had
their statements taken and they were on their way back home when they bumped
into Kane
“You sick fuck” Jeff growled at him
“Think that would get her away from Lyndsey”
“Jeff….”
“We are going home now” he grabbed
her and put her in the car.
She went over to Lyndsey’s
and stayed in his room until he came home from work
“Baby” she threw herself into his
arms
“I’m so sorry” he stroked her hair
“What happened?”
He held her for hours as she told
him anything.
“Come on let’s get something to eat”
he pulled her up and took her through to the kitchen
“Don’t mind me” Kane snarled when he
saw them come through.
He took his plate and slammed his
bedroom door behind him.
“You sure it wasn’t him” Lyndsey nodded towards the door
“Kane?”
“He would have what it takes to skin
someone alive” he shrugged
“Maybe…
“What did you say?”
“About
what?”
“Kane skinning him alive”
“He’s psycho even to do it”
“I didn’t say that”
“Say what?”
“That they skinned him alive. All I
said was he was found dead”
“You must have how would I know”
“If you were the one who done it”
“Buffy you know me I would never do
something like that” he was starting to get nervous.
“Your right” she agreed “You
wouldn’t do it” And it brought a smile to his face
“YOU WOULD GET SOMEONE TO DO THE
DIRTY WORK FOR YOU” she screamed.
The commotion brought Kane running
out of the room
“What’s going on?” he saw Buffy’s
face
“I’m telling you it was him” Lyndsey pointed at his brother
“You’re a bit confused Lyndsey he only plays a monster on TV”
Kane was shocked that Buffy would
actually defend him
“He tried to kill you Buffy” Lyndsey shook her
“It doesn’t matter” she tried to
push him off
“You’re the Slayer you should have
done it. It’s your job to kill things” he got in her face
“Not humans he may have been a
bastard but he still didn’t deserve that” she tried to walk away.
“Okay let’s calm things down here”
Kane was starting to get worried
“You fucking bitch you don’t even
say sorry. Maybe Angelus had been right about you” he slapped her.
“That’s enough Lyndsey”
Kane tried to pull him away
“He was right you’re a crap lay as
well. I was only with you because you were the Slayer” he screamed at her
By now Buffy was frozen to the spot.
He was telling her the exact same things that Angelus had.
“Walk away” Kane snarled at him
“What so you can have a go. Don’t
bother bro a cold fish would……….
Nothing else came out
Kane’s fist shot out and connected
with his jaw
Satisfied his brother wasn’t moving
anywhere he went to comfort Buffy
“Hey don’t listen to him” he put his
finger under her chin to raise her face so he could see her
“He’s a fool” he wiped the tears
away then his eyes widened and he fell on top of her
“So sweet” Lyndsey
clapped
Buffy noticed the knife in his hand
covered in blood
“Can you move?” she whispered to
Kane. He faintly nodded.
Seeing him lying there gave her her confidence back
“So you wanna know what a Slayer can
do?” she quipped
“Cause your about to find out bitch”
In a flash she was beside him
wrestling the knife out of his hands
She got in his face “Another thing
you have in common with Angelus. I’m gonna kick your ass too”
She grabbed his arm just as he was
about to grab the knife but he jerked and it ended up embedded in his stomach
“Lyndsey”
she yelled but it was too late. He was dead the time he hit the floor.
She knelt down beside Kane as she
phoned for an ambulance.
She was about to get up to phone
home when his hand shot out and stopped her
“Stay with me” he whispered looking
so weak
“I’m here” she stroked his head “I
won’t leave I promise”
“Give me a kiss” he whispered
“When we get to the hospital” she
grinned
It couldn’t be that serious if he
was cracking jokes
At the hospital she talked to the
police
“He said it wasn’t him so he
probably paid somebody” the Captain answered
“We found some fingerprints at the
scene and they matched someone well known to us
“The little weasel squealed thinking
it would get him off”
Buffy nodded “What about me?” Fully
expecting to be cuffed there and then
“The deceased’s brother Kane has
given us a statement saying it was self defense” he assured her
“So we won’t be pressing charges
Miss Summers”
“Thanks officer I don’t mean to be
rude but” she nodded towards Kane’s room
“Yes you have a loyal boyfriend
there all the time he was being stitched he kept asking if you were okay” he
smiled as he walked away
She hovered at the door
“I know your there” he said “Come
in”
She just looked at him
“I’m so sorry about all this” she
started sobbing
“Come here”
He took her in his arms
“None of this is your fault we all
knew what Lyndsey was like”
He hushed her
“The line of business he was in it
was bound to happen sometime”
He looked at her
He traced her jaw with his finger
“If he had hurt you I would have
killed him myself”
“I know” she smiled
“Well”
“What?”
“I’m waiting?”
She just looked at him
“Where’s my kiss woman”
“Oh that” she smiled
She leant over the bed and was only
intending to give him a quick peck.
Kane had other ideas and brought his
arms around her so she couldn’t move.
“Oh my god”
Jeff and Matt were looking
everywhere but the bed. Lita was cracking up.
Buffy was more or less lying on top
of the Big Red Machine and they were practically dry humping.
Hearing the noise she turned around
“Hi guys” she smiled
“Well at least she’s keeping it in
the family” Lita grinned as Matt and Jeff glared at her.
