Three weeks went by since my departure from the Federation and i must say i was getting rather lonely. My sister Jackie and Edge became very close are just recently started dating, and she was spending all her time on the road with him as well as Olivia too. We talked on the phone and she contantly asked me how i was doing. I told her i was fine but deep down i knew this was eating away at me but luckily for me i was very good at hiding things so she would not know and deciede to come home to stay with me and abandon Edge for the sake of her sister. I did not want it that way, i hated people to pity me and that's what she had a tendancy to do when things wernt exactly going my way. I hadn't heard from Christian since that night...i must admit i missed him so much but i couldn't bring myself to call him and tell him for a fear of rejection..that night was enough to last a lifetime for me.
It's amazing how one night...or even a split second can change your life forever. But to me..it seems as if those "split seconds" come to often. It wasn't even 4 years ago my parents were killed. I remember it like it was yesterday..They were driving to Dallas to visit some relatives when a drunk driver swerved into their lane and hit them head on, killing them instantly. I can't remember anything about them short time..Jackie says i've blocked it all out from fear. But i do remember being 6 years old and sitting on my Mother's lap while she combed my hair.
"Mommy why do i have dark hair and you have light hair?"
"Well honey...Jackie has blonde hair like me, and you have brown hair like your daddy..sometimes once child takes after the daddy and the other takes after the mommy"
I sat their and took all she said to me in..then i reliezed how bueatiful my mother was and how my sister took after here..then i looked at my dad and he was just an average man..nothing special..and i considered myself average from that day forward. And a couple years later it all proved to be true..my sister started getting modeling jobs left and right, obviously she was the luck one in the family. When i was 20 my sister got married to this incredible guy that..at the time treated her like queen. Everyone thought everything was perfect until the day i got a call from the hospital that my sister was in intensive care..apparently Danny had beaten her. From that day on i considered myself the lucky one. Me and my sister became closer then ever before. She was a single parent and i helped her out constantly with Olivia. After her and Danny got divorced she never heard from him again. He moved to Florida and got remarried, but every month she recieved child support payments from him. Thats about the only thing he was good for. He never asked to see Olivia..he had a new family now.
That night i feel asleep thinking about Christian.
Two more monthes had passed and i talked to Jackie on a regular basis..she even came and visited me a couple times..she and Edge had moved in together. I even talked to Edge a couple times..things were not like they were before but it still felt good to get a lil of that part of my life back. Once while i was talking to Edge Christian had came in the dressing room and asked who he was talking to.
"Who you talking to" Christian asked.
Edge paused for a moment..."Im talking to Mahala"
Their was a brief silence for a few seconds.
"Can i talk to her?" Christian asked.
My heart skipped a beat the minute i heard Christian's voice. "Hi Mahala how are you doing?"
I couldn't bring myself to say anything for a few seconds. "Uh..im fine..how about yourself?" i asked.
"Im okay.." he said.
"That's good"
"Yeah i guess.."
I was on the verge of breaking down and tears started running down my face. "I've got to go" i said with my voice cracking. "Bye". And i hung up before he could say anything else. I sat on the balcony were me and Christian first kissed after i hung the phone up. I continued to cry until i heard someone step out onto the balcony. I looked up and it was none other than Gangrel.
"What the hell do you want?" i asked.
"I just came to remind you that you have not been feeding" Gangrel said.
"I refuse to do that"
Gangrel became very nervous about this and she knew exactly why. She had been reading many things on vampires and she knew that in order for her to truely be like him she would have to feed and taste human blood. And she knew if she held off her desire to do so for a few more weeks then all her vampire instincts would die..and she could beat Gangrel's control over her.
"Damnit Mahala why wont you feed? Are you scared?" he asked.
"No"
"Fine here i'll help you.." with that he moved his hair to the side and moved his neck by her mouth. It took all her might not to do it..but she did not bite him.
"Nooo..i will not " she screamed and pushed him over.
He got frustrated with her and gave up. With that he left and did not return. It was all up to her now..she knew in her mind she could do it.
Another 3 weeks had passed. She woke up Friday morning feeling better than ever. She went and took a shower and went to the mirror to comb her hair. She wiped the steam away and looked at her reflection starring back at her. Her skin was no longer pale...her eyes were back to their normal color, she was her old self again. The Mahala she knew and loved so much. The Mahala she knew before everything hit the fan with DX. She immediatly ran to the phone and began dialing.
"Vincent McMahon's office may i help you?"
"Yes!..i need to speak to Vince right away this is Mahala."
She spoke to Vince and everything was in order for her return, they both deceided that Raw would be the appropriate time to return.
Once she arrived at the arena she went through the back gate so no one would see her. Edge and Christian were taking on Too Cool tonite.
Halfway through the match she got in position and waited for the right time to enter ringside. Just as Scott Taylor went to get a chair Mahala ran down the ramp, not even hearing all the yelling and clapping from the fans.
She ran up the Scotty and grabbed the chair and leveled him with it. She than jumped on the apron and knocked Brian Christopher down allowing Edge to get a roll up pin.
Mahala then ran halfway up the ramp and turned around and met eye to eye with Edge and Christian. J.R could be heard doing commentary. "OH MY GOD KING LOOK WHO'S BACK..WHY I HAVE NOT SEEN MAHALA IN MONTHES!"
"Yea she looks alot better then last time too" King added.
I walked backstage and started going to a dressing room when i heard my name being called.
"Mahala?" Christian said.
I turned around and saw Christian standing their looking at me intently.
"Hi Christian"
"Hi..i've missed you so much" he said.
"I've missed you too...."
