Darkness. It’s all I can see. My eyes are closed. My body limp. I try and open my eyes but they stay securely shut, I try to move my arm but it stays by my side. Am I dreaming?. Am I alive?. I hear voices echoing in my head, it’s Shelly, she’s hysterical, asking what is going on, another voice, a doctor I think, I can’t tell. He sounds confident and sure of himself telling her I’ll be fine, and then...Angel!. He’s there, he seems to be calming her down, a hint of caring in his voice. But it’s not caring for me, it’s caring for Shelly. I can feel his eyes staring down at me, I can feel his thoughts wishing I won’t get up from this...what happened to me?.
A light, I see a light!. Oh god, Adam Knite!, he’s attacking me, why aren’t I fighting back?, is this what happened to me?. I have to get away, I have to...HAROLD!. Oh god, a car window!. I see red, it’s blood, then, oh no no not back to the darkness!. Is that, did they put me through a window?. What a coward. I knew it, I always knew it. Wait, another light, a table?, a pen?, Leonard?. I signed the contract, Adam looks angry, Ha, I knew it, he couldn’t stop me. But why am I still here?, why am I?. AGAIN!, HE ATTACKED ME AGAIN!.
Every blow, I feel them again and again, the pain. He was trying to kill me. This isn’t just business he was trying to end my life. He was trying to murder me on national TV all to keep that title. I feel the chair shots, the pain shooting through me like an electric current. I see what happened at crossroads, I see my friends, my family, Shelly, oh god Shelly. I’m sorry you have to go through this pain. No. I won’t let this happen, I can’t let this happen. Adam and Kelly laughing, laughing at me, no...I won’t let you do this I’m going to get you Adam. I WILL GET YOU ADAM..
“KNITE!”
My eyes spring open. I sit up, my voice screams Adam’s name. I’m sitting in a hospital bed, my arms shake and quiver, my body follows, it’s not a cold shiver. It’s a shiver of anger. Doctors and nurses stare in horror at me, the shaking has popped stitches on my head. I feel the blood drip from my forehead down past my eyes to my cheeks. A doctor comes over, he reaches out to grab my shoulder. Before he can say a word my hand is up around his squeezing, he goes down to one knee begging me to let go. The anger over takes me but his screams of pain awaken me. I release him and turn my body. I pull out the IV, I strip off the hospital gown and slide on my jeans, my boots, I stop and look into the mirror.
Swollen bruises decorate my face. A large cut across my forehead leaks crimson liquid. A smirk comes across my face as my fists clench together. I grab some tape and wrap it around my head tightly to stop the bleeding. My shirt goes on over my head as I walk out the door into the corridor of the hospital. Doctors and nurses stare at me in disbelief. I stop as I see a familiar face. Shelly. Her jaw drops, a smile forms along with a few tears. Angel is standing next to her. I shoot a glance his way, he understands and grabs Shelly’s hand as she rushes forward. She tells him to let her go. He whispers something to her and she looks even more upset, she screams No turning back to me. For a split second I want to run to her, tell her I love her. Tell her it will all be alright and I’m not going to do what she fears.
I make my way downstairs, every step sending a shock of pain through my system. I push the door open to the parking lot and pulls my keys from my jeans pocket. I look around and press the door unlock button on it, I hear a beep from the right side and turn my head. To my surprise I not only find my car but an NCW video crew with Eric Hardy obviously “updating” my condition, I approach them slowly, cautiously. Eric turns and goes to say something, but he stops, he looks into my eyes and nods before handing me the mic and stepping out of the way.
“Adam Knite......”
The name spits like venom from my lips as I don’t even try and hide the hatred and disdain I have for this so called “man”. This “champion”.
“Adam....****ing....Knite”
I know they’ll censor that. I know that all you’ll here is a beep. But I don’t really care right now. Adam has stolen something from me. Adam has tried to take my life. ADAM KNITE HAS KILLED A PART OF ME.
“Is this what you wanted?. Is this what you went out to achieve?. You wanted to destroy me so I couldn’t sign that contract. You wanted to end my life so you could keep that title. You wanted to do this so you could avoid me. This Adam, does nothing but prove everything I’ve ever said about you. I called you a false champion. I rubbed the fact you use your slut...oh I’m sorry, your fiancé to protect you in your face. I reminded you time after time that you asked a man to lay down for you to win the shot at the NCW title. I said and did all these things and you had the chance to show the world that you are a worthy champion. You had a chance to stand up and be NCW’s gladiator."
“But now that chance is gone”
“You tried to take me out so you didn’t have to face me one on one. You just reinforced everything I said. Thank you Adam, thank you for proving me right. And what’s worse for you is. I now know your dirty little secret. You’re scared of me. You are afraid to face me because deep down inside you know that without anyone’s help you can’t beat me. See unlike at Crossroads that match you LOVE bringing up. You won’t have Angel there to come down and help you.”
My mind flashes back to that night. Adam beating me because of Angel. Him getting bragging rights over me. Not again...NOT...AGAIN.
“And if you were scared of me before. Then this time you should be terrified. See you didn’t just try and take me out so I wouldn’t be at Reborn. You didn’t just try and end my career. You tried to END my LIFE. That is crossing the line. That I can’t and won’t forgive. But I understand Adam. I get why you’re too scared to face me in a fair match. You sent Falcon after me, he failed. You sent Angel after me, HE FAILED. And then you sent your pet freak after me. And after all his boasting, after all his threats and him telling me how he was a big bad monster he too FAILED. Even you failed Adam. You failed and I pinned your shoulders to the mat. ME, that arrogant little punk who “wasn’t worth your time”. How does that feel “champ”?."
“But you probably still haven’t got it through your head yet. You can’t stop me. You won’t stop me. You tried to keep me from signing that contract. And I did it. You tried to keep me from being at Reborn, and I’ll be there. And you’ll try and stop me from winning the world title. And I will win it. But it won’t be for my friends, it won’t be for NCW because it deserves a better champion than the likes of you. It’ll be for me. It’ll be because I’m going to love hearing your heart break when I hold up that belt. But I’m not going to try and end your life Adam..even though I should. I’m going to force you to live with it. I’m going to force you to sit back and watch as I become a better world champion than you could ever hope to be.......”
“Sit back and kiss the belt goodbye Adam. Make your peace with it all, accept that you are going to be nothing but a transitional joke champion. And be ready for the death of Adam Knite’s career.....”
I turn and throw the mike to Eric who looks shocked. I smile and walk towards my car. I have to hurry..so much to do..so little time....
