Legend of LeRae: WrestleMania

[Steph]

In her hotel room, Candice would be seen sitting down in her king sized bed with none other than her boyfriend, Jeff Hardy. The scene opened with the two just looking down at their phones, and checking their social medias after the slammy's.

Candice LeRae: "You looked really handsome annoucing the newcomer of the year, you know that?"

Jeff Hardy: "Thanks, babe. Are you nervous about Wrestlemania at all? I know you're going up against Mandy Rose for the number one contender."

Taking a deep sigh, Candice put her phone down, her hand leaning over to grab Jeff's, as she gazed over into his eyes. She had to be honest about this all.

Candice LeRae: ".. I'm nervous as all hell. I know, we've fought before. I like fighting her, actually. She always seems to give me a fight, and seems to bring out the best in me. But, this.. this changes the whole damn game. I have a chance to possibly go on to fight whomever walks out of Wrestlemania as the women's champion. So, yes. I'm nervous, but I know that I can do it. I know that I can beat Mandy, and have my WrestleMania moment. But even if I don't, it'll be cool as hell to come out in front of all of those fans, and just take in /even/ being at WrestleMania. I'm grateful for it all. Thank you for making me join you, and for seeing the best in me. You're the reason why I'm so good, you know? You're the reason I'm here. This win, if I do win? It'll be for you, Ruby, and Nera. All for my little family."

Jeff smiled, nodding his hand, and interlacing their fingers together. Candice glanced at him again, chuckling, and shaking her head. She didn't mean to go /that/ deep, but she was glad that she did.

Candice LeRae: "Look, I've got to go use the restroom. I'll be right back, and let's actually get some decent sleep before we show the entire world what we're made of. I can't wait to give you the biggest hug when you walk out of WrestleMania still as the breakout champion. Nobody else deserves it more than you do, handsome."

Letting go of his hand, Candice stood up, and walked into the bathroom. Closing the door behind her, she locked it, and turned to look in the mirror for a moment. Everything seemed to be good until the lights started to flicker. She was confused, and tried to grab at the door. What the hell was going on?! Instantly being hit with a shock when she grabbed the door handle, she yelped, jumping back, hoping that Jeff would hear what was going on. However, she'd be taken back by a voice seeming to be coming from the vent that normally air conditioning would come out from. The lights were dimmed, to where she could barely see anything.

Unknown: "Everything.. is... going.. as.. planned... YESSSSS! Oh, Miss LeRae. The girlfriend of our master... we heard that you had a match at WrestleMania. Oh, yes we did."

Diabolic laughter would come out from the vent, with the laugh being echoed, almost as if there was more than one person laughing.

Unknown: "But like we told your little boyfriend.. if you don't wins the match.. we will take the littlest girl. Oh yes we will! Takes the little girl.. Nera is so pretty.. yes she is! She would look so much prettier by being one of us!

Candice LeRae: "Don't you fucking touch h-"

Unknown: "What if I told you it was too late?! HahahaAHAHA! You and Mister Hardy are all the way in NOLA... such a shame. Yes it is.

Candice LeRae: "Don't tell me you took Nera..."

Laughter would be heard again, along with the lights flickering harshly enough for Candice to cover her eyes, the laughter overtaking the bathroom. She didn't know how Jeff didn't recognize any of this was happening! Was this all just her freaking herself out even more since this was basically her first-ever singles match on a pay-per-view.

Unkown: "We didn't, no we didn't. But we will.. if you don't beat the Rose of Mandy. You did us well last time, yes you did. But can you do it again? Can you bring us the Women's Championship just like your boyfriend brought us the Breakout one? WE WANT BOTH! WE WANT THEM ALL! We will be watching your match very closely... yes we will.. and if you slip up once.. you and Jeff will come back home to find your precious GONE!

Screams filled throughout the bathroom, echoing, and bouncing off of the walls. Candice had no idea what the hell was going on, or if this was all just a bad dream since she was running on barely any sleep. Maybe she just had fell asleep on her way to the washroom?

Unknown: "And if you tell Brother Nero about this....... you will be sorry.... HAHAHAHA!

Candice LeRae: "STOP! STOP! STOP! STOPPPPPP!"

The lights became normal, along with the voice stopping, as Candice heard knocking at the door. Had Jeff finally noticed what was going on? Jumping up, Candice grabbed the door handle, and opened the door, gazing up at her boyfriend.

Jeff Hardy: "You alright, cupcake? You've been in the bathroom longer than I expected you to be. Wait, why are you crying?

Candice LeRae: "I'm...."

Instantly being reminded of what the voices had said, she'd stop herself, thinking of her adopted daughter before herself. She didn't want anyone to hurt Nera, so she'd just cover up with a lie. Apparently, Jeff had no idea what was going on in the bathroom. Maybe he had his earbuds in his ear, and was listening to some music. Typical Jeff.

Candice LeRae: "Just nervous.. that's all. Like I was telling you earlier. First WrestleMaina... you know.."

The match was on, and Candice knew that more than just the number one contendership to the championship was on the line for her. She was now a hell of a lot more nervous than she was before she had walked into the bathroom. If something happened to Nera, she didn't know what she would do. All that she could do was hope that she had her hand raised high by the end of the night, and that she'd come home to her youngest being safe, after being in care by her actual mother, Beth.

|| Thank you to Thom for allowing me to use Jeff, and for helping me on the 'broken' bits. Good luck, Nick!
