An Unexpected Reunion

"Our" Mother

Next thing I knew I was waking up on a sofa with the light shining through an unfamiliar pair of blinds. I sighed once again annoyed at the fact Mark had done something without my knowledge or consent. I heard voices in the background and forced myself to silence my thoughts and listen. Mark said we were connected now, and I don’t know what that entails but I know he can hear if my thoughts were to loud no matter how far I was. 

“Well done Mark, I'm so proud of you." I heard an older woman's voice say. 

"Thank you mama." Mark's voice said in response. Great we're in what I assume to be his mother's house now. From the sounds of it she's in on this as well. I looked around for the nearest exit available only seeing a balcony and with me being this sore, it's likely out of the question. However, I spotted a house phone on the table across the room and quickly ran and grabbed it. I decided on calling Vince first, he wouldn't think I'm crazy. The phone rung only a second before he picked up.

"Vince I'm stuck in Mark's house with his mom…Well "our" mom. I don't know what's happening but I'm alright please let Eliza and Evelyn know that." I said quickly and as quietly as I could, knowing getting caught wouldn't be in my best interest. 

"Do you know where you are? Can you see anything?" He asked frantically.

"The house looks like it's secluded, there's no one around that I can see. We're near what looks like a beach, there's sand and water." I responded telling him what I could see from the balcony. 

"Alright were trying our best okay?" Vince said. 

"Alright." I responded, before quickly hanging up the phone as I heard walking. I quickly slid into place back on the couch and made my mind blank.

Soon enough I felt a hand touch my face softly and I slowly opened my eyes and sat up rubbing them. I met eyes with a dark haired woman who gave me a sweet smile, that seemed uncomfortably off to me. Then her voice spoke out to me. 

"My son." She said looking in my eyes and touching my face. She cringed though as she noticed my hair was blue. 

"We have to dye that black Matt." Mark said to me, I just looked at him annoyed to which he only smiled.

"Go and dye it now please." The woman said standing up disgusted at it. She just walked away and it was then that I really noticed her. She had long black hair and was slim in stature. Her gray orbs reminded me exactly of Mark and mine. I sighed knowing there were two people now keeping an eye on me. 

"Come on let's get it dyed." Mark said helping me up.

"But it has to be blue for work Mark, it's my gimmick" I said, to which he only rolled his eyes still dragging me along with him. "Who was that lady?" I asked, already knowing the response I'd get. 

"If you know the response, why ask." He said, starting to washing my long hair once we made it to the bathroom.

"I don't know Mark, maybe because I'm curious, and all this is new to me. I don't know what I am, who's house I'm in, nor who to trust. So far I've been lied to, chased after, and  forced to do things I don't want to do." I said annoyed.

"She's our mother." He responded simply. I scoffed at that.

"She's YOUR mother Mark, not mine." I stated.

"OUR mother." He said clenching his jaw.

"I don't know her Mark, MY mother lives back in Texas on a farm." I said, as he started to put black dye in my hair. 

"No that's not your real mother. Your real mother is here in this house. After everything she's given us she deserves to be called mother." He said. 

"Us? What has she given me Mark hmm? The only thing I remember is my family telling me that they weren't my real one. I balled my eyes out that night Mark, I cried until I physically couldn't push out anymore tears. My head burned, but I didn't care. I knew that my real mom was there in that house in Texas. No No No, scratch that, your mom…. She did give me a gift. She gave me a mother that actually cared." I said seriously, looking at him in the mirror.

"She gave us power Matt. Do you know how much of a shame it is that we have all the power in the world, and we don't use it. You and I could own the WWF together, and we'll take care of mom. No one will be able to stop us Matt, think about it." He said smiling at me through the mirror.

"This is what you want with me, you just want me in your life so you can rule WWF and have everyone fear you?" I asked confused. 

"No I want my little brother more than anything. But I want the little brother followed me like a dog at my heel, always eager to please and impress me. The one that followed my lead no matter how messed up the tactic. The brother I could count on with orders just like when we were little kids. I will get that little brother back, no matter how hard you fight me Matt." He said, his eyes shining a light purple as he looked down at me. 

I sighed, I couldn't even promise I could put up a good fight. He had me brainwashed and had me  questioning myself. I couldn't lie part of me longed to be close once again as well. I wouldn't dare tell him that though it would not end well. I quickly threw the thought from my head hoping he hadn't heard it. If he had his face stayed completely blank as if he hadn't. I sat back letting him dye my hair and relaxing. I knew it would do me no good to fight him, he would win in the end.

Soon enough my hair was dyed a pitch black color and Mark and I looked exactly the same. There was no difference in sight from what I could see. Mark smiled crossing his arms and I followed him doing the same. His smile turned into a devious smirk before patting me on the back and pulling me out of the bathroom. It was already dark I hadn't realized how much time we spent talking. Even after my hair had been dyed.

"Be respectful Matt, don't get smart mouthed, you'll regret it." Mark whispered stopping me on the stairs. 

"I'm respectful to everyone." I said honestly.

"I mean don't say stuff like you said to me when we were in the bathroom earlier. She'll get upset, and it won't be a nice time for any one of us." He responded.

"Fine." I said continuing to head downstairs. Once we were down stairs I saw her hugging a 7ft man wearing a black and red mask with a black and red attire. I also saw the round plump man that had walked to the ring with Mark when I first met him. The tall man looked between us before crossing his arms and tilting his head slightly. I could see Mark from the corner of my eye staring at him. My eyes however, stayed glued to the ground not wanting to look anyone in the eyes.

"That's Mark because he's never not making eye contact. He use to yell at me about it." The man said pointing at Mark. Mark smiled at him before looking over at me and forcibly pushing my head up to meet everyone's eyes. It was then I realized my mask was missing, and I started to panic. Vince had spent a bunch of money on getting it tailor made and extra for the short time he needed it in.

"Calm down it's upstairs." Mark stated hearing my thoughts. I sighed uncomfortable at the situation I found myself in. This was completely foreign to me. I was just use to it being me and my parents to find out I had a brother was… odd. 

"Matt this is our little brother Kane. But you already know that." Mark said patting Kane on the shoulder. Correction two brothers now, I had almost forgot in all that was going on that I had a second brother. For some reason I wasn't even shocked at this point. Maybe I just except I don't really know about myself. The only thing I could do was trust these people who are my "Family" to tell me who I once was. Kane nodded towards me and I did the same back. I felt out of place but in place at the same time. A feeling I had never felt before, like I should be here but I am here for the wrong reason. 

"Oh Matt I almost forgot someone called for you… an Allison?" My "mother" said to me. I nodded and went to the phone unsure as to how she found me.
