Rayne On Me 15
Taker walks Seth into his locker room, hand still on Seth's shoulder. Pushing the door closed, Taker removes his hand from Seth only to backhand him violently, knocking him to the floor. Seth glares at Taker hatefully, putting his hand to his bottom lip, wiping away blood. Eyes still locked with Taker's, he brings his hand to his lips again, licking the blood from his hand in one slow motion. He pulls himself up onto the sofa he'd fallen against. He licks the fresh blood from his lips, smirking at Taker as a challenge. "What the hell was that out there little boy? That wasn't you.." Seth raises an eyebrow, amused at the statement. "Don’t give me shit Orion, you tell me what the F***s gotten into you.." "Why not ask the pretty pretty princess?" Seth sings in a childlike whisper. "What's that supposed to mean?" "you tell me Undertaker.." Seth answers again in the almost inaudible tone.
"I like you kid, I'm trying not to get pissed off at you.. so for the last time, cut the shit and tell me what's going on!" Taker forced himself to stay across the room from the boy. Up until now, he’d taken a liking to the boy but he was going to hurt him if he didn’t come clean. He looked up from his venting when he finally heard Seth speak. "I wonder how many bones a person can break before the pain takes them away.. don't you?" "You wanna take a page out of my book huh Orion? You don't really wanna become me.. you don't have it in you to really hurt those people.." "I will.. and when I do.. everyone who rises against me will be crushed. and everyone who utters mutiny shall suffer." Seth laughs, a darkness seeping into his voice. "There's nothing you can even do Taker. You could have stopped this before, but now it’s just too late. Your little girl will suffer more than most." Taker stands up, closing the distance between him and Seth. "You don't know what the F*** you're playing with Orion.. stop before I stop you.." Seth stands, reaching into his back pocket and pressing a card into Taker's hand. He then raises his finger to his lips. "shh.. our little secret.." Seth moves away from Taker, walking toward the door. Once again, in a child's voice he sings. "Oh where can the lord of darkness be, oh where oh where can he be? He can cut his hair short and change his clothes, but he cannot hide from me." Seth turns back to Taker with a smirk. "Remember Taker, our secret.." Seth walks out, leaving Taker alone in the locker room. Taker looks down at the card Seth had placed in his hand. The Ace of Spades with the ministry symbol scrawled over the image in red. The kid had to be fucking out of his mind if he thought that he was going to get away with using his own persona to exact his weird sense of revenge.
Seth walks down the hall, coming up behind Lena sitting in the concessions area, trying to calm down. Seth leans down, kissing the back of her neck gently. At first, she smiles, thinking it's Jeff, but she turns when she hears Seth's voice. "the itsy bitsy princess crawled up the water spout, down came the pain and washed her lover out. Out came her daddy and dried up all the blood, but princess and her lover lost it in the flood." Lena stares at his lips, which never move except to curl into a smirk. "Seth, that's not funny." "But it was funny to feel me dying.. to turn my own creation against me.. but they saved me princess, but your sweet little sethy is gone.. thanks to you he's stronger than ever..and he’s going to become an image of evil that will make daddy proud." Lena's eyes are still wide, in shock. Seth shakes his head. "not here Lena" he puts two fingers to his lips and then to her forehead. "here." He had to be kidding. This was all some trick that he was playing, there was no way he was talking inside her head.
"I won't let you hurt him or anyone else.." "because you stopped me from hurting you? how admirable really.. but I could have killed you then and there if I wanted you dead... no.. you're much prettier alive... for now.." "Seth.. snap out of this.." "Ah.. about Seth.. I've been meaning to thank you for helping me with that little issue.. I fought so hard.. I almost thought I'd never win.. But when you realize that you’re only fighting yourself, winning becomes easy. It's your fault daddy will die.. and Syn.." Seth closes his eyes, licking his lips. He sighs mentally. "You can't kill Taker or Syn!" "Who said I wanted to kill Syn? precious thing she is.. I kinda like the taste of her.." Lena just sat there and watched him walk away. She couldn’t believe that this was the sweet young kid she’d been living with for the last year.. Had she really pushed him too far?
"How does he do that?" Jeff stands inside the doorway of the locker room, watching Adam and Seth talk out in the hall. "do what?" Matt asked, looking up from his lunch. "Adam.. he just walks up to Seth and suddenly zombie boy if fine.." "If Adam wants to talk to him, let him.. I've had enough of him for now. Besides, maybe Adam's possessed too.. that could explain it.." Lena declares as she moves to sit next to Matt where she can watch the door. "I still can't believe it Lena.. I just wish someone had been in that room besides Taker and Seth.. not like either of them will tell us what happened.." "You're the one who got the brilliant idea to take him out of the box.. wasn't there anything strange?" Jeff shakes his head, still watching Adam and Seth. "He was fine.. weak.. but fine.. I went through his laptop a dozen times to make sure he'd be ok when he got out.. demon possession was definitely not covered ..."
Jeff opens the door for Adam as he heads away from Seth. "Well man? he pull crazy shit on you too?" Adam shakes his head.. "He seemed like his normal self.. I mean, he sounds so tired but that’s it.." Lena stands up, looking from Adam to Jeff, "I think it's time for us to pay daddy a visit... Adam, where's Syn?" Adam looks at Lena puzzled "We only talked for a couple minutes.. I haven't seen her in a while.. " "Adam.. go with Lena down to Taker's.. I'm gonna see if I can't talk to our golden boy.." Jeff smiles wishfully and heads down the hall to talk to Seth. "bro.." Seth raises his head from the tablet he'd been scrawling madly on. "Where's Syn man? I need to talk to her.." Seth lowers the tablet to show Jeff a picture of Syn, sleeping with her head on Taker's shoulder. He scrawls 'safe' above the drawing. Jeff nods and places a hand on Seth's shoulder, squeezing it gently. "we're gonna fix this bro, I know it would take more than that box to break you."
Watching Jeff head toward Taker's, Seth pulls out a red marker and writes "NOT" above 'safe'. Seth smirks, watching Jeff disappear down the hall.
Jeff walks into Undertaker's locker room to find Lena, Adam, and Matt already sitting around while Syn snuggles against Taker's shoulder on the other sofa. Jeff takes a seat on the floor in front of Lena, leaning against her legs. "He seemed alright enough.. he still wouldn't talk to me though.. but he showed me a picture he'd drawn of Syn sleeping in here.." Syn opens one eye looking at Jeff. "I'm not sleeping.." "Well.. snuggling.." "Jeff, Sydney walked in right before you did.. she had barely taken a seat when you came in.." Lena moans, frustrated. "Now he's a freakin psychic demon boy.. can he not pick one thing?" "I would say that somehow I brought this upon you, since he says he wants to destroy me, but he told me to ask my girl what happened to him.” The group all looked at each other, none of them wanting to tell Taker the truth about the box.
"How freakin precious.." Everyone turns to look at Seth who leans against the door frame of the locker room. "But gimme a honest opinion, how do you like the look?" Seth slides off the hood of his sweat shirt, freeing his dark brown shoulder length locks. The smell of fresh hair dye hung in the air. "good change eh?" "Oh yeah man, off the hiz-ook.." Adam tries to suppress a grin. Syn on the other hand, walks to him and twirls a strand around her finger, pulling it harshly. "Listen the F*** to me, dumbass demon boy. You wanna play this game.. it's all fine and cute. But I owned you first and I don't like people PLAYING WITH MY TOYS!" "Oh poor sweetie.. fair is fair don't you think? All I want is what's mine.. and your precious little chew toy isn’t coming back."
Syn raises her hands to scratch his eyes out but backs away. "pretty sexy puppy, bloody sexy puppy.. pretty sexy puppy.." Syn mutters to herself as she backs away from him.. Syn sits down on Taker's lap. "Can someone hurt him and leave him pretty please?" Seth grins, laughing. "Well golly gee, if you wanted me gone, I should just go before I disrupt your happy Brady family.. NOT. Think real careful though, cuz I can take the next step, maybe all the hair should go?" Jeff inhales sharply as Lena's nails go into his arm.
"Look, evil boy, this is all real fine and cute but could we get to the part where we kick your ass and get you gone?" Lena stands up, walking toward Seth. "cuz this whole Stephen King 'look at me I'm possessed' thing isn't really working for me." "That wouldn't be a problem, if I was here for you cupcake. Since I'm not, and I don't give a damn about whether you're happy.. I'm just gonna stick around if that is alright with you." "ITS NOT ALRIGHT WITH ME!" "Good, I wouldn't have it any other way." Seth slips his finger under her chin and kisses her quickly. Before Lena can break the millisecond kiss, Jeff pushes her out of the way, pinning Seth against the wall. "Don't fucking touch her you bastard! I'll tear you fucking limb for fucking limb!" Adam and Matt tear to Jeff, trying to pull him from Seth as he pounds him with hard rights to the face. "Let me at him! I'll teach him to fucking touch her!" "Yeah boys, let him at me.. I wanna learn.." Seth grins and looks to Lena, licking the blood from his split lip. "how bout you teach me sexy?"
"ENOUGH" Taker roars, finally rising from his seat. "Girls, Hardys, Adam, Sit." Taker stalks toward Seth as the others sit down. "Now, you. You want me? Here I am. Lets play.." "No fair, the games just getting started Undertaker.." "And I'm ending it." Taker tightens his hand around Seth's neck, lifting him high above his head before slamming him to the ground. Syn screams and tries to run to Seth. Taker puts out his other hand, catching her. "No Syn, this isn't over yet.. I don't want you near him until it's safe. Come on Adam, lets get Orion home. I don't want him waking up on the way."
