We Finally Got Them

I woke up after what felt like days but I knew it had only been a couple of hours. I groaned as I sat up regretting it immediately as I felt numb and sick to my stomach at the same time. I wanted to go downstairs and get some water, but was unsure what consequences I would face for my failure to follow through with the plan. Honestly, I don't feel like dealing with it right now. I laid back down with the intention of going back to sleep but immediately sprung up again thinking of Stephanie. I mumbled in annoyance under my breath almost completely forgetting what I had dragged her into... unintentionally, but it still happened. 

For me this was okay, I could face my brother, he's my twin after all, but Steph grew up sheltered from the likes of someone like my brother. She was always safe and protected. I gritted my teeth I had to get her out of here. I didn't know how I would do that without Mark noticing though. I headed to the closet to grab some clean clothes and decided to take a much needed shower. I was sure to get in and out quickly. Once I got dressed and opened the bathroom door I was face to face with Mark which oddly enough hadn't surprised me.

“I'm disappointed.” He said, blank faced. I didn't react I just stared in his eyes emotionlessly. “So… You're not gonna defend yourself or anything.” He asked crossing his arms. 

I shrugged my shoulders before saying, “You punched me in the face, you got your revenge.” I said pushing past him and heading downstairs. Once I got down everyone was stood at the bar talking and paused seeing me. I was too exhausted to engage so I ignored the attention and grabbed a bottle of water before making an attempt to walk around the house to find Steph. However, Mark stood in my way blocking me from moving anywhere.

“She's fine.” He said with a knowing smile.

“Where is she?” I asked in slight annoyance. 

“Sleeping.” He said, his smile changing from a knowing to menacing one. I gritted my teeth in annoyance at him, but said nothing as I turned on my heel and headed upstairs. Of Course Mark had followed me upstairs right on my heel. I went to go lay in bed as the sudden wave of nausea I felt earlier came back. Mark ignored me and turned on the TV to watch Raw. 

“Undertaker I want my daughter back, you can have whatever you want. Just bring back Stephanie, you want the WWF you can have it. I don't know what you've done with Matt either but I want him back too.” Vince pleaded with Mark. This only made him smirk and give a chuckle.

“You hear that little brother, he wants you to come back.” Mark said giving a mocking laugh. “Nows our time, now we rule, we take over. But first I have to teach you a lesson from your last mistake. I can't be too soft, you'll think you can get away with things.” He said growling the last part. Before I could respond he pulled my entire body weight up and dragged me down the stairs. My confusion only grew as he threw me on the living room floor. 

TW⚠️ Beating/ Abuse

He threw me on the living room floor and told Kane to grab something I couldn't quite hear. Kane nodded and left. My “Mom” and Paul only watched on emotionless. Kane had come back and handed Mark something before going to stand over by Paul and Marks mom. 

“Our Mom” I heard Mark growl hearing my thoughts. I forgot she was supposed to be my mother as well, she didn't seem to care much for me. It was I moment before I heard I whip sound and a sharp stinging pain shot across my back and I yelled so loud I was sure the neighbors although miles away could still hear.

He whipped me again and again until I physically couldn't hold my body up anymore. I laid on the ground in pain and shock with blood dripping down my back. Mark grabbed my body and picked me up before looking in my eyes and saying, “Obey me.” Just like before I was in that odd trance, strangely enough the excruciating pain that stung my back was gone. 

⚠️ TW OVER

In no time Mark, Kane, Stephanie, and I were headed out the door to the WWF. Once we got there we made our way through backstage and into the ring. 

“McMahon, I have your daughter, bring me the contract and she's yours.” He said before dropping the mic in the ring. Vince made his way down fairly quickly and Stephanie went running towards him and I went walking. Vince gave Mark the contract and he signed it. Once I was sure business was finished, I then turned towards Vince and I punched him in the face before continuing to hurt everyone surrounding him as well. I then got knocked off my feet by Stephanie and that gave them enough time to pick up Vince and run to the backstage area. 

Of course I had been ordered by my older brother to follow as he followed behind me. Once we got back stage we  followed Vince and suddenly got swarmed by police. They grabbed Mark, Kane, Paul, and I, throwing each of us on a car.

“Ma’am can you identify which is your son.” The man asked. I looked down without interest thinking it was Marks mom, knowing she'd do something like this. 

“That one's my boy.” I heard a comforting southern accent say. My head shot up looking at my mama in her blue kind eyes. They uncuffed me and I immediately hugged her, comfort wrapping around me as I  breathed in her very familiar peach scent. 

“Take the rest of them away.” I heard Vince faintly say. Eliza and Evelyn came up and hugged me tightly as well. I savoured the moment I felt safe again. Mark gave me a sickening smile as he walked away. It left me on edge, and I cringed uncomfortably.

“Well we finally got them didn't we.” Vince said with a smile. I looked at him confused, unsure what he meant by that. 

“ We've been trying to catch Mark for years Matt. I knew you were our ticket. I knew that If he knew he had a twin he'd get controlling and reckless, so I offered you a job here so we could ban together to catch him. Besides, you think in a normal situation I'd ever let him even reach the front door with Stephanie in hand.” Vince said. I nodded unable to deny that it was a pretty good idea. Stephanie smiled as well hugging her dad close.

“The offer still stands though, if you'd like to work with WWF we’d love to have you, and were on the road 24/7 so it's unlikely Mark will know where you are.” He said with a kind smile. I nodded accepting the job offer being given to me. I loved wrestling too much and Mark wouldn't be able to find me which was a plus. Things were looking up for me.

*3 years later* 

I had been traveling with the WWF for a while now and it's been super fun to be on the road with these guys. They are amazing at what they do, it's a wonder how they keep up. I wish to be even half of that some day. The guys and I were in my hotel room playing cards and laughing. 

“Hey guys I'm gonna step outside and get some fresh air. I'll be back alright.” I said. They nodded continuing their conversation. I stepped outside breathing the cool air into my lungs. 

“Hello Little Brother.”  Was the last thing I heard before I saw nothing.
