For 24 hours I knew peace. The voices had stopped, the visions had left me... For 24 hours... I was again free to be myself. No longer looking around every corner... No longer checking every closet... No longer wondering if my daughter or.... wife... were okay... But... He's...
"Not... Dead..."
[/color]"Not... Dead..."
He was supposed to be. It was supposed to be the end of him. But he refuses to give up, just like me. He rises from the grave, just like me, and now he comes for me, on a path of destruction until the two of us meet inside the DeathCage...
"I can't help but smile."[/color]
I twitch... The voices, they've returned. Or should I say "THE" voice. The only voice. Her voice. But it isn't her voice. It's the voice of a demon. Something evil, something vile, she is no more my wife than Nero is truly a brother. She's the witch, a demon, the devil. She's behind me, rubbing my shoulders, caressing my face, kissing my neck, whispering into my ear. This hotel room is dark, the air is muggy and warm, and she is here with me.
"are you ready to finish what we started angel?"
"Why are you here?"
"because you need me."
"I need her. Only she can save me."
"save you? there is no saving you."
Those words run down my spine like a cold shiver. I stand up and push her away.
"DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON ME!!!!!"
Her voice... it changed... It's...
"LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M SPEAKING TO YOU!!!!"
His hand reaches out and grabs my shoulder, whipping me around to face him. His eyes glow red with anger as I look up and face the man from my nightmares.
"You are my son, you will do what I say and I DEMAND THAT YOU DESTROY NERO!!!"
"....No."[/color]
"Excuse me boy?
"I SAID NO!!![/color]
It's like my voice sent a shock wave through him, because he stumbled back, surprised by my outburst. As a child this man tortured my brother Alex and I, he beat and raped my mother, he forced all of us to take part in a life none of us wanted, and his last great sin was turning two brothers against each other like Cain and Abel, for nothing more than his enjoyment. I step forward, my back straightening out. I lift my head up from the floor and look him right in the eyes.
"Bite your tongue with me boy."
He reaches back, his right arm comes swinging down so that he may strike me as he did when I was a child but I grab his arm and with everything I have I punch him right between the eyes.
"I HATE YOU!!![/color]
My arm glides through what would be his face and I fall forward onto the bed. He's gone. I feel cold, though it's warm out, the sort of cold you feel when you realize your truly alone. I turn and sit down on the bed, catching my breath.
"I've been lost for too long now. The arrival of Nero, coupled with the collapse of my family nearly shattered me. I was so close to completely falling apart that even those closest to me couldn't recognize me anymore. But I think I've finally overcome my demons. I think I finally know what I have to do brother. I can't live in Father's shadow. I can't do what he wanted both of us to do. He's been dead for close to a year now, it's time to let his games die too."[/color]
I look up, imploringly.
"We both have a chance here Nero. You've been reborn by my hands, freed from his dreams and our nightmares. I'm not asking you to not fight me like the great warrior you are Sunday, by all means come to the ring and take these tag team titles if you can, I look forward to it. The thought of taking on someone who may be my equal or better fills me with excitement about the future. But Nero, once this match is over, once a winner has been declared, let this blood feud die. Because the only thing thats ever going to come from it is both of our early deaths."[/color]
I stand up and run my hand over my head.
"No threats brother, no promises of death and destruction. I only make this one promise, I promise to give you the toughest match of your career, I promise to give you everything I have. I promise you a match that will become legendary in nCw. But most of all Nero, I promise that when it's all said and done, whether you want me too or not, I will be your brother. I will be your family. I will be your blood. Because, even after all of this. I still love you Nero."[/color]
I start to walk forward to turn the camera off when I hear a knock at the door. Moving past the set up I go over and grab the handle, turning it...
"Shelly?"[/color]
She's crying.
"What's wrong?[/color]
"It's.... It's AJ..."[/color]
Maybe... Not all... my demons... are laid to rest...

All your mental armor drags me down
We cant breath when we come around
All your mental armor drags me down
Nothing hurts like your mouth
