Drafted!!

This is kind of a weird story. You now that...ummm...whats it called...situation? ( I think it's a war now...can you tell I dont keep up with current events?) Overseas right now? Well, my parents and I were talking about it, and we got around to the draft. My dad said something about me going to Canada if I ever got drafted, that he would even send me money. So those gears the mad scientist put in my head started working....and of course I found some way to relate it to wrestling, and my boys....so here we go! I dont know much about Canada so I might mess up a few things. Also, I tend to get very (sometimes to much so) descriptive...I think its all those Rice novels...hehe And, I used Edge as a bad guy here ( I like him, but hey, it worked!) so if you like him please dont hit me....

"No...." I thought. "No, It cant be...they dont do that anymore...They cant. They cant!!" I stared at the card and the letter.

"Whats wrong?" my dad asked.

"I got drafted"

***

My parents and I had discussed this before. If I wanted to go, fine. But if not, they would send me to Canada, and I could stay there until everything was settled and over. We made arrangements quickly. I packed my things, and three days later, I was on a plane to Toronto. I was terrified. I was alone, going to another country where one of the major languages I didnt speak, not knowing weather I could go home again, knowing that I was a draft dodger.

We touched down, and I took a cab to the hotel. Until I found a better situation, or a job, I was staying at the Toronto Marriott. When I go to my room, I unpacked and fell right asleep.

A day and a half later, still a bit jet lagged, I ventured out to buy a few groceries. I got directions from the desk clerk and walked to a deli.

I was there for about 20 minutes, and was just leaving the checkout line when I saw a man walk in. He was tall, maybe 63, and very muscular. His blond, nearly golden hair was pulled into a neat ponytail. It looked like it would just brush his shoulders. He had on mirrored sunglasses and his sensual mouth was pulled into a worried frown. As I walked by him, I tripped. He caught my arm and helped steady me.

"Are you okay?" he asked

"Yeah, thanks" I looked into the bag I dropped "Whew, nothing broken!"

"Ummm......do you happen to know how to get to the Marriott?"

"Actually, thats where Im going. You can walk back with me if you want." I looked at him again and nearly gasped. He had taken off his sunglasses and I saw his eyes. They were blue...I noticed they changed shades in the light.

I smiled at him.....should I? Nah...maybe Ill let him know I recognize him later.

"My name is David...here, let me get those bags...." he trailed off.

"Eve" I handed him the two heavier bags. "Thanks. So your not from around him either?"

"Nope. Two of my friends live here. They share an apartment, but its being fumigated so were staying at the hotel. I went out for a little bit, and I got lost!"

"So, where are you from?"

"Florida, but Im not home much. I travel a lot...let me guess...you're from New York?"

"Dang, I didnt think my accent was that noticeable"

We chatted a bit while we walked. We reached the hotel rather quickly, and took the elevator to my floor, and stood awkwardly in the hallway for a few moments, before I invited him in.

"So.." he asked, as I put my groceries away, "Do you always invite strangers you just met up to your hotel room?"

"Only strangers that happen to be one of my favorite pro-wrestlers"

"You knew the whole time? So much for going incognito..."

"Well, if it make you feel better, I didnt realize, until you took off your glasses. Usually when I see you, you have fangs, and are wearing a puffy shirt"

"Actually, I still have the fangs....see?" He showed me a second set, right on the incisor. They were a little smaller than the other fangs. "These are permanent."

"Cool! So are you here for show, or are you just visiting?"

"The WWF is doing a tour of Canada for a few months. Monday is the first show. What brought you to Canada?"

I told him about getting drafted, and leaving.

"You're all alone? No job, no place to stay?"

"Well, Im staying here for now, but after that, I dont know."

"Hhmmm....Maybe we can help you. Let me call the Adam and Jason first."

He called, but they were out. David left a message for them to come to my room.

"So whats your idea babe?"

"Well, you know how Vince has been bringing more woman into the federation? Well, maybe you could come in as the Ministrys girl"

"Really? Id love that! I dont know how to wrestle though"

"So? You dont have to wrestle right away, and we can teach you. As long as you can defend your self pretty well" I nodded at this " youll be fine. I think the guys will like this, it adds to the plot twist. I just have to clear it with Vince, but I know hell like it.

He smiled, pleased with himself.

"Im gonna write some letters. You can watch TV if you want."

I sat at the desk, and started writing to my parents, to tell them what was going on. I heard the television in the background. How cute...he was watching Saturday Cartoons! After I finished the letter to my parents, I started a letter to my best friend, Rob. Id known him all my life, since I was three. I really missed him, and everybody...I was never good at dealing with homesickness....I put my head on my arms and started quietly crying. I didnt notice the TV turn off...in fact, I forgot David was in the room. I nearly jumped when I felt soothing hands caressing my shoulders and back.

"Shh....its ok.....just let it out...." he pulled me into his arms. I buried my face against his chest and cried. He stroked my hair, as we stood there, me sobbing hysterically, him whispering soothing words.

Eventually, I stopped crying. David led me over to the bed, and had me lie down. He tried to walk away, but I pulled on his hand.

"No...please stay with me..."

He lay next to me on the bed and I lay my head on his chest as he put an arm around me. I snuggled close to him. He smelled faintly of leather, from his jacket, and slightly of a familiar cologne. These both mixed with his natural scent, which I found comforting, and at the same time, enticing. I drifted off to sleep.

~~~

"So, you found yourself a new ring-rat Fang Boy?"

"Shut up Adam. I didnt sleep with her, if thats what you mean. Shes all alone here, and she needed comforting" I felt the bed move as he got up. "Be quiet, shes sleeping." I could hear ice in his voice. Was this his friend? Of course, why else would he be in the room. But the two didnt seem to get along at all. "Her name is Eve"

"We got your message" I heard another voice join in the fray "Whats up?" David told them his idea about me working for the WWF, in their faction.

"Sound like a good idea" the voice I identified as Jasons agreed enthusiastically.

"She look like she could be fun" I could practically hear the leer in Adams voice.

"You leave her alone Adam......" David nearly growled. "Shes not for you"!

"Well, who is she for then, Fang Boy, you?"

"No" was that regret in his voice? Sadness? I stretched a little, to let them know I was waking up. He dropped his voice "No, Adam, she isnt for either of us. Shes for herself. I dont want you trying to take advantage of her while shes vulnerable here. Now, shes getting up, can you at least act civil for a little while?" he didnt wait for a reply, instead, he leaned over the bed and gently shook me. "Eve, Eve, Jason and Adam are here, wake up"

I stretched, and yawned a bit as I sat up. I rubbed my eyes, and looked at the two men in my room. They both had blond hair, and amazing bodies. The bigger of the two was a little taller than David. That must be Adam, I recognized him immediately. He was smiling feraly. Good lord, that man was even more gorgeous in person! The smaller man, Jason, was also very attractive.

"Its nice to meet you both" I extended my hand towards them. I shook hands with Jason, then Adam took my hand,

"No, the pleasure is all ours" he said as he raised it to his lips. I blushed furiously as he kissed my hand. "Has David been treating you well?"

"Yes, thank you for your concern." I smiled. Was this guy for real? Was this really the same man I heard talking with David before? "Ill be right back" I walked to the bathroom to wash my face. As I shut the door, I saw Adam gloating at David, as he glared back.

When I came back out, the guys were sitting down. David was sitting cross-legged on the bed, while Jason and Adam were on the couch. I walked over to the bed and sat next to David. I saw Adam frown slightly.

"Do you have any plans for tonight, Eve?" Adam asked me

"No, not really, why?"

"Well, we hoped we could take you out, and maybe hit a club or something"

"Sounds like a plan! What time?"

"How about 7?"

"Great, Ill see yall then!"

The guys left then, and I started to get ready. I took a nice long shower, and got dressed. Good thing I brought most of my cloths, I thought to myself as I looked through them for something to wear. I finally found my favorite club outfit. Its a bustier type thing, lacing up the front, with a calf length black skirt. The bustier is red and black leather. The red is formed in a heart shape, with the top of the heart starting at my breasts, (leaving my neck and shoulders bare) and ending with the point at the place where the skirt was attached. I wore a black choker, with a sliver ankh, and a silver ring set with a piece of quartz Rob had given me. The rest of the bustier was black, and cut very low in the back. I pulled on my knee-high boots and laced them up, and started on my make up. I heavily accentuated my eye with black, and put on a burgundy lipstick. I was giving myself a once over as I heard a knock on the door.

"Cmon in, the door is open!" I called. I heard the guys walk in "Ill be right out!" I heard them talking as I relaced my bustier.

"Listen Fang Boy, we arent going to any of your stupid Goth clubs tonight. I want to take Eve to my kind of club, not one with all those freaks you hang out with. If you dont like that, then you can go off by yourself." Said Adam.

"What if......."

"Shut up Dave."

"Am I going to need a jacket?" I asked, still in the bathroom.

"Probably not" Jason answered

I walked out of the bathroom, and I saw the guys standing around. "Just let me get my purse, then we can go." Adams mouth dropped when he saw my outfit. "What?!"

"Nothing....."

I quickly looked over what they wore...was I overdressed or something? Adam and Jason both wore jeans, and button up silky shirts, Adams blue, and Jasons green. I looked over to David and grinned. He was wearing a medieval peasant style shirt, slightly different from the usual one he wears to wrestle. It was cut in a low v, and there were no buttons. Over that was a leather vest laced together just under the v, and the ruffles of the shirt spilled over. His pants were black, and tucked into his knee-high boots. His eyes were lined with black, and his eyelids shimmered slightly. He also had painted his nails black, and was wearing his fangs.

"Well, lets go then!" we walked through the lobby, and waited as Adam called a cab. We piled in, and drove to a club. We got there in about 15 minutes. As we drove, I glanced at David again. I giggled a bit. For a guy, he was quite a jewelry slut. On one wrist he had a wide leather cuff, with flat silver-toned studs on it, and the other wrist had several loose silver bracelets. He had three silver hoops in one ear, and two in the other. He wore a thin black choker from which dangled a crusadic (?) cross. He had several other silver necklaces, and he wore one large engraved silver ring, and a medium sized smooth one.

We arrived at the club. As I stepped out of the cab, the first thing I noticed was a large flashing neon sign, proclaiming this to be "The Tunnel" Adam knew the bouncer, so we passed inside quickly. I groaned inwardly as we got into the club. There was smoke and flashing lights every where. I felt the pounding of the music as we moved towards the bar. I listened to it, and recognized it as a dance mix Ive heard about on the radio. Not that bad. I looked at the other people there, and noticed they were staring at us. Well, mostly at David and me. We obviously didnt fit in here. I order a small drink, and finished it right before Adam pulled me on to the dance floor. I finished the song out with him, and walked back over to Jason and David. Jason was talking to a pretty brunette, while David sat looking around. Jay and the girl waked off to the dance floor, and I caught site of Adam dancing with some other girl. Another song came on, and I made a face.....Spice Girls...what the heck were they doing in a club?

"Can we get out of here?" I asked David

"I was hoping you would ask that!" so we picked up and left. We hailed a cab and he gave the driver directions.

"Dont you need to tell the others?"

"Nah....I do this every time we go there." We drove to the next club in silence. We pulled up in front of what looked like an abandoned building. David helped me into the building, leading me down several staircases and through a maze of hallways, until we got a large cellar.

The room was cool and dark, lit by candles. It was bare, save for several table, a small bar and a dance floor. The walls were stone, and hung on them were a few tapestries No music was playing at the moment and I could hear the quiet mummer of conversation around me. A lot of the people knew David, so they came over to him. He introduced me to everyone, and we chatted pleasantly until the music started. David and I went to the dance floor and started dancing. The first song by the Cure, A Night like This, followed by a faster song Hot hot hot (also by the Cure [authors note - gee, you think I like the cure?]) The DJ switched to a more industrial/metal type of music, and we continued dancing. We stopped for a few drinks and to chat now and then, and soon it was 2 am. Things were starting to slow down, we decided to leave after the next song. It was one of my favorites lullaby [you guessed it, by the Cure!]. We swayed to the slow beat, and I began to feel tipsy, the drinks I had earlier really starting to kick in. I pressed myself closer to David, grinding against him to the sensual beat of the music. I felt him grow aroused, and as I slid my hands down his back, I felt his body stiffen. He pulled away from me as the song ended and called a cab. By the time we made our way out of the building, the cab was just pulling up. We got in, and rode again in silence back to the hotel.

We went inside, and David had a message for him at the front desk from the guys. They were otherwise occupied with some girls they picked up at the club.

"You can (hic) shtay in my room for the night. I think the coush folds out" I told him. He hesitated, before agreeing. David led me back to my room, and opened the door. We went inside, and he started pulling out the couch. I went into the bathroom to change. When I came out, David had taken off his shirt and vest, and was facing away from me, sitting on the couch/bed pulling his boots off.

I walked over, and wrapped my arms around him, pressing against his back. I kissed his shoulder as I slid my hands down his chest. When I tried to slip them into his pants, he grabbed my arms. "Eve, no, stop it!"

"Why? (Hic) not? C'mon, you're no (hic) fun" I moved in front of him, and slid into his lap. I started kissing his chest.

"Your drunk" his voiced sounded strained.

"I (hic) am not!" "Yes you are." He picked me up, and brought me to my bed. He tucked me and, and I tried to pull him down with me. He pulled out of my grasp, and went back to the couch to go to sleep. I gave up, and settled down to sleep.

****

I woke up several hours later, and I vaguely remember getting up, and then getting into bed next to David.

***

I stretched and groaned. My head was pounding! I clutched the stuffed Snoopy I sleep with closer to me, and moved my face against the pillow, and I felt it move and twitch. What the hell?! I wrenched my eyes open, and I was face to face with a very muscular, very bare chest. I looked to see where snoopy was, and I saw that I had been clutching his arm to my chest.

I suddenly sat up, and felt everything spin, my head pounding even more, and groaned again.

David rolled over and mumbled "Whuu...??" as he rubbed his eyes. He looked at me "Are you ok?"

"My head. I feel like I got ran over".

"You were drunk last night."

I looked at him, finally comprehending exactly where I was.

"Did we....uh...?"

"No! But, um....you tried to....."

"I am so sorry!" I exclaimed, finally remembering what happened last night. "I dont hold liquor well. I kinda forget that when I go out.... I should have been more careful. Im sorry"

"Its sokay."

"Im gonna, go get dressed now..." I grabbed some clothes, and ran into the bathroom. I found some aspirin and took a shower, and soon I felt a lot better. I got dressed, and went back out. David had put his shirt back on, and was folding up the couch. Today we have to meet with Vince. You need to come to, so he can meet you and decide about letting you work for him"

"All right" we got Adam and Jason, and stopped on the way to get some breakfast. The meeting with Vince went well. He mentioned that hed been scripting for a woman to join the Ministry, as part of the plan to break it up. He told us what he had planned out. What would happen is that Mystic (me) would join the Ministry as the Undertakers wife/girlfriend or whatever. Ultimately, she would 'test' the loyalty of the men in the ministry, by attempting to seduce them. Edge would give in, and the Undertaker would 'punish' him, and throw him out of the Ministry. Then, Mystic would betray Undertaker, and leave with Edge. "Sounds great to me!" I said

"Yeah" Adam agreed

"Ok then, Just sign here Eve" Vince handed me a contract. I read it over quickly, and singed it. "You can start tomorrow."

***

Things were going great. I had a lot of fun traveling with the guys and performing in the shows, and the plot line was flowing perfectly. The day I signed the contract, we left for the first show in the tour of Canada. I found out I would be sharing rooms with the guys, which I didnt really mind. I was used to that, Rob and I spent similar nights together.

Out of the three, Jason was the most fun. Hes the youngest, both of us are the same age, and hes nuts! He was the first one I stayed with. We got to the room, and found out there was only one bed. We tried getting a cot, but they were out. Neither of us wanted to sleep on the floor. We figured we could both crash on the bed.

"But before we do, I have one question for you...." he said.

"What?" He threw himself on the bed, and started posing.

"Do I make your horny baby, yeah , do I?" I started laughing, and that was the beginning of a long night of goofiness. I was sleeping before the show, and he put shaving creme on my hand and tickled my nose with a feather.

"JASON!!!" he just laughed hysterically while I went to wash my face. When I came out of the bathroom, he was calmly sitting down, watching TV. With one of my bra's on his head. I snatched it back, and put it away. After a bit the phone rang, and we both dove for it. "Ow, thats my hair!!"

"Well, you should wear it back Jay!" I shrieked as he pushed me over, and went for the phone. I pulled him back by the shirt, but he threw a leg over my waist, and I couldn't get up. He answered the phone.

"Yeah, we're ok. Uh huh, ok. See ya in a few" he hung up.

"We have to go meet the guys, and practice for the show." "OK, lemme get my bag...hey!!" I felt him pick me up and toss me over his shoulder.

"Umm, I can walk you know." he didn't say anything he just carried me out of the room, down the elevator, and to the car. He finally put me down to let me into the car. But he carried me into the building, to the dressing room, everywhere I had to go, he carried me. When I asked him why he was doing this he didn't answer, and he didn't stop when I tried to hit him so I just let him. That nights show went great. It was that show that Mystic started seducing the Brood. She had already tried The Acolytes, Viscera, and Median, and they resisted (of course, that was the point, but...whatever...)

***

We got back to the hotel, with Jason still carrying me. "Are you gonna let me down now?"

"Why didn't you just ask?" he then, unceremoniously dumped me on the floor.

"Ow!! damming!" he just stood there laughing. 'Great' I thought 'just what I need, another Rob' I started toward the bathroom, and we proceeded to bitch fight over who got to use it first. He won. Again. When we finally got into bed, he kept hogging my covers. I sighed. This was gonna be a long night.

***

The next day, the four of us piled into a car, and drove to the next town we would be performing in. "So did you guys sleep well last night?" asked David

"Like a baby" Jay said.

"He kept kicking me!!" I exclaimed

"I did not!"

"Did too! And you rolled over onto me on purpose!"

"Did not" "Did too!" "did not!" "did too!"

"Man, Im sorry I asked!" sighed David

We rode like this to the next hotel.

***

~~Note: if I slip into 3rd person, its because Im talking about the wrestlers, and Eve, in character, and she looks at it separate from reality~~

We got to the hotel around 7:30. Raw was live tonight, and we had to be there at eight to go over our skits and stuff. David and I brought our bags to the room we were sharing. I grabbed my makeup bag, and the dress I was going to wear that night, and then called Adam and Jason to tell them we were ready to go. We met in the lobby, and went to the arena.

That night on, Mystic would finally succeed in seducing Edge. Through out the show, whenever Edge was on camera, Mystic was right by him, flaunting herself at him. After his match that night she got into the ring. She ran her hands over his back, and he spun around and grabbed her wrist, then pulled her against him. They stood like that a moment, and he kissed her. Suddenly the lights went out, and there was the sound of thunder. In the ring, Edge was supposed to break the kiss and look up, but he didnt. He continued, and Mystic/Eve felt him sliding his had down her back, around the front. His hand was on her belly, but before he could go any further, the lights started strobbing, and the ministry came and took him through the crowed. While that was happening, the Undertaker came to the ring, and escorted Mystic out of the ring.

~~Ok, back out of Character~~ We got to the dressing room, and Mark was looking for his new wrestling outfit. He was the main event that night. He was facing Kane. Again. "Eve, do you know where my duffel bag is?"

"Nope, sorry Mark" Just then, the rest of the ministry walked in. "Hey guys, have you seen my bag?" he asked.

"Yeah, its right there!" Jason pointed to the corner. The others started changing into street clothes, when mark looked into his bag and started laughing. He held up several dresses, a make up bag, and a pair of hose. "These, are NOT mine!!" the door swung open, and Ryan Shamrock walked in, carrying a similar duffel bag to Marks.

"Im assuming these are yours?" she handed him the bag. Jason was nearly doubled over with laughter, as were the rest of us. "I would thank you kindly to stop switching clothes with the other ladies...this is the third time."

"But it was....." he started, but she left before he could finish.

When we finally got ourselves together, David, Jason, and I went back to the hotel. Adam, Dennis, Ron and Justin were going out.

***

Back at the Hotel, David and I flipped a coin to see who got the bed. He won, and I got a rollaway cot. We watched the end of Raw, and got ready for bed. Just as we settled down, the phone rang. I picked it up, and heard "Hello. Do you have any Grey Pupon?" and an insane fit of giggling. I sighed

"No Jay, we dont. Now go to sleep, we have a taping tomorrow."

He giggled and hung up. About 15 minutes later, the phone rang again. This time David got it.

"No, our refrigerator isnt running, now go to sleep!" he hung up.

"Does he always do that?"

"Yeah, and he uses the same 3 lines every time."

***

It was early. Very early. And there was banging at the door.

"Come on guys, get up!!! Its Tuesday!!" Jay shouted through the door.

"Its 5:00, get outta here!" I mumbled. The door flew open, and he bounced into the room. He jumped over the cot, and hurled himself on the bed.

I sat up and yawned. David hadnt woken up. Jay grinned, and put a hand on Daves cheek, and ran up through his hair. "David, baby, time to get up!" he whispered in his ear.

"Whaa..? Eveie?" he murmured, and opened his eyes, and looked strait into Jays. "Ahh!!! Jesus Christ, you scared me! Dont ever do that again!" Jay just laughed.

"How are you so hyper so early?" I asked him

"Sugary Breakfast Cereals!!!!!" I shoulda known.....

"Get outta here. We gotta get dressed and pack up."

"OK!!!" he bounced out of the room...literally. The morning passed in a flurry of activity. We packed, and left for the next show. After this taping we would have a few days off. Between the drive, and keeping Jay calm (damn sugary breakfast cereals!) the hours until the s show flew by. We settled into our rooms (this time I was sharing with Adam)

~~I slip in to third person here~~

First, was the taping of Heat. That was fairly simple. We waited in a back lot, and halfway through the show, the cameras went to a shot of The Ministry beating up Edge. The Undertaker and Mystic stood watching. Clip back to inside the arena. We rested, and changed a bit, and waited for our skit on Raw. The Brood had a match, and Mystic accompanied them. They won the match, and Edge went over to Mystic, and looked at her for moment, before turning away. But then she pulled him back, and they kissed. The lights went out again, and the voice of the Undertaker came over the speakers "Edge.....you defy me again, after being disciplined for the same offense? How dare you lay a hand on my Mystic!" he droned on, as the other members of the ministry began to circle the ring. They pushed Mystic away from him, as the held him, kept him from running away. Undertaker was walking down the ramp, still speaking. "....And for that, you will be punished, you will be sacrificed to the Darkness." He came into the ring, and put an arm around Mystic. They had pushed Edge to his knees, and Taker lay a hand on the top of Edges head, and did his rolly eye thingie. As the Ministry was dragging him down the ramp, Mystic pulled away from Taker. He looked at her questioningly, and she jumped up, and drop kicked him in the center of his chest. She ran to where the confused Ministry had released their hold on Edge. She started fighting them, and Edge got free. He grabbed her, and they ran to the top of the ramp. The ministry started after them, but Taker called them back. Before Edge and Mystic went behind the curtain, He smiled at the Undertaker, with that evilly feral smile of his, and kissed Mystic again. The lights darkened, and they were supposed to leave. But he continued as he did last time. His hand slid down her back, then up around the front, caressing and squeezing her breasts, the other hand he placing on her ass, pushing her against him. She tried to push him away, but he held her firmly. Finally, he broke the kiss, and pulled her behind the curtain.

~~Back to normal now!~~

I was so infuriated, I ran to the locker room, grabbed my stuff, and went to the womans locker room to get dressed. I called a cab back to the hotel, and fumed the whole way there. I got to the room I had to share with him. Luckily this time the beds were in separate rooms. I played some music and started some stretches, to calm myself down, but I quickly felt eyes burning me. I turned around and Adam was lounging in the doorway. I jumped to my feet.

"What the hell was that back there? How dare you touch me like that, you had no right!" I hissed at him.

"You know you enjoyed it. I know you want me"

"No, I didnt enjoy it, and I most certainly dont want you, you egotistical bastard!"

He walked towards me, with the grace of cat about to pounce.

"Of course you want me, why wouldnt you? Im the perfect male specimen."

"Physical beauty does not make up for a nasty personality." He crept closer to me, giving me the feel of being hunted. He reached out and cupped my face with a hand, running his thumb over my lip.

"Dont touch me!!" I growled. Then I slapped him across the face. He stared at me, shocked. Then his eye narrowed, and he lunged at me. We landed on the bed, his weight crushing the breath out of me.

"You bitch! You led me on!"

"No!" I sobbed. He brutally kissed me, and I tasted blood. He started roughly fondling me, and I heard my shirt tear. I tried to fight him, but he slapped me hard, and I was reeling. He started tearing at the rest of my clothing and I gave up trying to fight. I felt as if I was somewhere else, as I listed to the ironic words of the song as he continued his assault."....All of this then back again. Another girl. Another name. Stay alive but stay the same. It's just the same. A stupid game. But I don't care if you don't. And I don't feel if you don't. And I don't want it if you don't. And I won't play it. If you don't play it first!...." Somewhere along the line, I passed out.

****

I dont know how long I was out. When came to, I was lying on my bed, surrounded by torn clothing and a jumble of bed sheets. Physically, I felt sore all over and it hurt to move. I looked at my arms, and I saw bruises where he had held me. Emotionally, I felt violated, dirty. I admit Im not a virgin, but I had only had sex a small number of occasions.

I didnt know what to do. I couldnt move, and who would I call if I could? I painfully reached down, and pulled a sheet over myself, and I started quietly crying.

I heard the door to the suite creak open, and I hear footsteps coming towards my room. I stiffened as I heard a light rap on the door... is he back? Why would he knock? I hope hes not back....

"Eve?" the familiar voice called out "Are you there? I was wondering if you wanted to go to a club or something?" he finally swung the door open "Oh my God, Eve, what happened!?"

I started sobbing, partly from relief that is wasnt Adam, and partly because I was ashamed to be seen like this. He kneeled next to the bed where I had had curled up. He reached a hand toward my face, and I closed my eyes and flinched when I felt him wipe away blood. He puled the sheet down a little, and saw some of the bruises.

"It was Adam...after the show...." I told him everything, from Raw, to the song I had been playing. He listened patiently.

"Im taking you to the hospital."

"But what if he...?"

"Forget about him, you need to go get checked out." David helped me dress, and got me to the hospital. Thing passed by in a blur. I remember the doctor checking me out, and a nurse gave me something for pain, and I fell asleep. When I woke up, David was sitting next to the bed, asleep in a chair.

I sat up and noticed a meal tray. I picked at breakfast a little, but pushed the tray away. The squeak of the wheels woke up David.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked

"A lot better. Thank you." Thank you...thank you for bringing me here....thank you for saving from his coming back...thank you for caring about me....thank you for not taking advantage of me....thank you for being there.... I looked at him, slightly disheveled, in the same clothes as last night, and was overwhelmed.

"David, I ......"just then, Jay bounced into the room. Great timing.

"Eveie!!! You have guests!!" he leaned out the door, and motioned, and two people stepped in, a guy and a girl. I recognized them immediately.

"Robbie!!! Anna!!!" I shouted, "How did you know I was here?"

"David called, and we decided to come see you. We took the first plane up last night." Said Anna

"How are ya babe?" Rob asked.

"Im a lot better now" I told them. David stood up.

"I have to go now, Ill see you later Eve. It was nice meeting you two"

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"I have to report into Vince, and tell him what happen. Then Im going to find Adam." He said quietly. He left before I could say anything. Rob, Anna and I sat and talked about whats been going on, and Jay got bored, and left to wreak havoc on the hospital staff. Rob left to get us all something to drink, and some decent food. Anna and I talked. "So, tell me, whats with you and David?!"

"Well, I dunno. I like him, but I havent told him...Especially not after the club..."

"Oh no!" she laughed "don't tell me you got drunk and...?"

"Yup"

"Man, Im suprised you didn't scare him away!!" I changed the subject, and she forgot all about it. She left the room for a few minutes, (Potty emergency) and I was sitting alone, watching TV. I heard someone walk into the room. "Hey, Anna, did I tell you what Jay did the other day?"

"No, enlighten me." I turned sharply, and shrank back in fear. "Adam, how the hell did you get here?" I demanded.

"I walked. How did you get here?"

"You know damn well how I got here! Get the hell way from me."

"Oh, my little bird, you know I won't leave that easily. I have to make sure you don't tell anyone it was me..."

"Well, I already did, so sucks to you! now go away!!" he stalked closer to the bed, his hands raised as if to strike me.

"Get the hell away from her you fucking psycho!!"

"Oh, and who are you, little girl, huh? Her body guard?" She strode over to Anna, and stared down at her. I saw fear in her eyes....Adam is much bigger than her, and now she knew what he was capable of. But she didn't back down.

"Get the fuck outta here. Now." she told him. He grabbed her arm, and twisted it up behind her back. he moved behind her, twisting it higher, and hissed in her ear "Listen bitch, Ill give you one chance to get out of here. This doesn't concern you." Before she could say anything, we heard another voice from the doorway.

"Ladies, is this Jabronie giving you problems? Because I would be gland to remove him for you." Adam turned around, and saw Duane Johnson (a/k/a The Rock) standing in the door way, his arms crossed, giving him the eyebrow. Adam dropped Anna's arm and backed away.

"No, no problem Duane." Adam said coolly.

"Then get your monkey ass out of here, you over grown piece of trailer park trash! Vince wants to see your monkey ass right now." Adam left the room quickly.

"Thank you so much Duane! How did you know I was here?"

"Dave went to see Vince, and he told us what happened. They figured he might come here, so they sent me." The whole time he was talking, Anna was staring at him. He was wearing a black shirt, with the sleeves ripped off. I nudged her
"Breath dammit, your gonna pass out!" She blushed, and Duane laughed.

"I guess I should introduce you two properly. Duane, this is Anna, my bestest friend ever, and Anna, this is Duane Johnson, better know as the Rock, Rocky Maivia."

"Please, you can both call me Rocky, all my friends do." he glanced at Anna. Just then, Rob walked in.

"Evie, the doctor said you can go back to the hotel now"

~~~~~~~~~~~
Rob and Anna took me back to me back to the hotel they were staying at. Jay had gotten my stuff from the room Adam and I had shared, and brought it to the new one. Rob and Anna had their own rooms, connected by a door.
I was staying with Anna. She, Rob, and Rocky went to Rob's room so I could take a shower. I did, vigorously scrubbing at my skin, trying to remove all traces of Adam, and what he had done to me.

By the time I had finished and got dried, it was much later in the day. Jay had come back from the hospital, and Anna had ordered us some pizza pies. David still hadn't come back. We ate, and laughed, and I began to forget the things that had happened. Rocky, Anna, and Jay decided to go out, and I stayed in with Rob. We stayed in Anna's part of the room, and watched TV. I was leaning against his chest, and he had an arm around my shoulder. With his free hand, he grasped mine, and you could see the ring I always wore, the one he gave me, glinting in the light. There was a knock at the door, flowed by footsteps. David walked in.

"Eve? You there? I talked to Jay, he told me you were here" That was when he saw Rob and I on the bed.
"Oh...Im sorry" he stammered "I see you're busy now...Ill come back later" he ran out of the room.

*****

"David, wait!!!" but I was too late, he was gone. I got up. "I have to go talk to him....I may not be back for a while Rob, so don't worry, ok?" I didn't wait for an answer, I just left. I walked to David's room and knocked. He opened the door, and was shocked to see me. I walked in, and he shut the door behind me. "David, I think we need to talk." He sat on the bed, and I hoped up on a low dresser. I noticed that he finally changed his clothes. He was wearing sweat pants and a T-shirt.

"Vince knows about Adam...I dont know what or if theyre going to do...hes under contract. You may have to talk to the police.

"Thats not what I meant, I wanted to talk about whats happening between us."

"What do you mean? You have Rob."

"What do you mean by have?"

"Well, arent you together?!"

"No!! Ive known him since I was three! Hes one of my best friends, him and Anna. See?"

I took off my ring, and showed him the engraving on the inside Rob, Anna, and Eve, BFF "They gave that to me on my 18th birthday."

"What about you and Jason.....? "

"What about him?"

"Adam said that you slept with Jay."

"And you believed Adam?" I raised an eyebrow "Jason is like a brother...practical jokes and all."

"......And what about me? Where do you stand with me?"

"I.....I really like you David....I care about you...."

"I care about you to Eve." He said softly "But what I dont understand, is why me? Why didnt you like Adam?"

"Well, first off, I knew he was a jerk. That first day I met him when you guys were talking in my hotel room before you woke me up? Well, I was up the whole time, and I heard the way he talked to you. I heard him talk to you other time when he didnt think I could hear, and I saw the way he looked at you, and at me. I didnt like it. As for why I like you, well, why wouldnt I? What girl wouldnt? Your handsome, *handsome? Your more than handsome, your gorgeous...your beautiful...your perfect...Im surprised I havent jumped your bones yet....despite the past few days, I think I want you now....* smart, you have a great personality....."

"But Adam always said I was ugly....."

"You know what? You listened to Adam way too much. Im not lying to you, why would I?"

"But....." he was silenced when I walked over to him, and planted him with a thorough kiss, probing his teeth, cheeks, and every slick surface of his mouth. When I finished, we were both breathless. "Does that convince you?" He just nodded, and kissed me again. I tugged up the hem of his T-shirt, and he broke the kiss to pull it off. He started to unbutton my shirt, and pushed it off my shoulders. It wafted to the floor, as he began running his lips and hands over my bared skin. He dipped his tongue in the valley between my breasts, over the lace of my bra, and lightly bit the top of my breast. I dug my nails into his shoulders, then pushed him back against the bed. I trailed my hands over his chest, and kneeled between his legs. Suddenly, the door burst open, and Jay flew into the room. We both groaned as he hoped onto the bed, oblivious to our positions. "Anna kicked me out of her room...her and the Rocky are shacking up. And Rob wont let me spend the night with him. They told me to go see you guys." He then jumped up, and screamed "Potty Emergency!!!!!" as he made a mad dash to the bathroom. I pulled myself up on the bed next to David, and rested my head on his chest.

"Well, I guess thats it for us tonight." He groaned.

"We could always kick him out"

"Yeah, and let him run amok in the hotel? I think not." I stood up, and started rummaging through his clothes.

"What are you doing?" he asked

"Well, Annas with Rocky, so I cant sleep there. And Rob is more annoying than Jason, so I cant sleep there. So Im here for the night, and I need something to sleep in." I finally pulled out a shirt, and slipped it on. It fell to about my knees. I pulled my bra off under it, and kicked off my jeans. I sat back on the bed, and started brushing my hair. David took the brush, and started brushing it for me, as Jay came out of the bathroom, in his jammies. He got on the bed, and slid under the covers. "Aww, man! Your gonna sleep in our bed?" Dave complained. "Well, yeah, there's no pull out couch, and *someone* has to keep an eye on you two!"

"What about Anna and Rocky? Why not keep an eye on them?" I asked.

"Its more fun to annoy you and Davey." David finished with my hair, and turned off the lights. I lay on my side, and he did to, behind me. The room was all dark, except for the flickering of the TV. 'Shutup you fat bitch!' 'WHAT DID YOU SAY??' 'I said that 'rabbits eat lettus'' Jay laughed hysterically at the rerun of South Park. I sighed, and leaned back against David. Eventually, I blocked out the sound of the television, and fell asleep.

****

I don't know how much a later I woke up, but the TV was off, and I heard Jay snoring loudly. But that wasn't what woke me up. Dave had slipped his hand from my waist, down into my panties. I felt his hot breath on my cheek, as his fingers massaged my clit. He dipped two fingers into my slit, and brought them to my lip. I licked his fingers, as I felt him trailing his lips along my neck. I cleaned his fingers, and turned around, kissing him. His tongue delved deeply into my mouth, the stud rubbing erotically over the roof of my mouth. I shuddered as he drew my tongue into his mouth, and sucked, trying to draw off what was left of my essence. I pulled away from him and panted, "What about Jay?"

"He'll never wake up" I gasped as I felt him slide two, then three of his fingers into me, moving in and out, while his thumb pressed against my clit. "Eve" he whispered, "let me please you. Let me make you cum." Even as he spoke, I felt myself flush, and I felt a familiar coil tightening inside of me. I moaned, and I felt his other hand lift my head up as he kissed me, moving his fingers faster. I wrapped an arm around his neck, pulling his mouth tighter to mine. I began clenching on his fingers, his mouth swallowing away my moans, and finally, my scream of ecstasy.

***

I lay against his chest, panting. He kissed the top of my head. "I've never felt like this before...I want to protect you, from anything that may ever hurt you. I want to be with you all the time." he whispered. I sighed contentedly, as I pulled myself closer to him, and slipped into a world of dreams. 'I think I love you'

***

I think I love you......love you....

The words echoed through my thoughts as I stretched, and rolled onto my back. Was that a dream? Did he say that? I looked over at David, lying next to me. I reached up, and pushed back a lock of hair from his eyes. I looked at the clock. 10 Oclock. Not too early. I got out of bed, and saw Jay on the other side of the bed, curled into a little ball. (Awww!!!) I called Anna.

"What?!" she growled, still half asleep.

"Chill babe, its me. I have to come get my bags from your room."

"Ok..." we hung up. I put on my jeans from yesterday, and slipped down the hall to her room. I knocked, and she answered the door in her fluffy pink robe. I scanned the room, and smiled when I noticed Rocky sprawled across the bed.

"I guess you're having cinnamon buns for breakfast?" she laughed as she pulled the sheet over his....assets. (tee hee)
I gathered up my things, which were mostly still not unpacked, (think about that one) and we went to the hall to talk. She said that Rob was leaving that morning for home, he told her to say bye. (aww, how sweet, he just wanted to check on Evie!!)
I told her what happened last night, and she glazed (cinnamon buns!!) over her night with Rocky. We decided to go out for breakfast.

"Ill call you when I get the guys up, ok?"

"Great....thatll give me and Rocky enough time to......"

"Yeah, yeah, I know. We can get into graphic details some other time, ok? Ill see ya later babe." I went back to my room, and showered and dressed before the guys got up. I woke up David, and he went to the bathroom, and I started to wake up Jay, which was no easy task. When that boys sleeps, he sleeps seriously. David finished his shower, and I finally dragged Jay into the bathroom, into the tub, and turned the cold water on. I slipped out of the room, and listen to him curse as he tried to adjust the temperature. We finally got out of the room and met Anna and Rocky in the lobby. We went to a conveniently located IHOP, had a huge breakfast, and spent the day together, hanging out.

***

OK, Im gonna skip over a few day, just to move the story along. The part you just read is Thursday. Im gonna skip to Sunday afternoon, right after, since nothing important happens between Thursday and then

***

"You're shitting me right? are you sure,?! really? Whoo hoo!! Hey, I gotta tell David, Ill talk to you tomorrow! bye babe!"
David looked up from the TV. "What was that?"

"Anna just talked to my parents, and Vince. The war is over, and Clinton pardoned the draft dodgers!! I can go home! And Vince just announced that we're headed down to New York for our next show, we're skipping over every where else, and going to the City, we're having a show at MSG! Plus, I get to go home, and visit my family for a while...umm...I guess your gonna be meeting my mom and dad."

***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

David and I werent scheduled for Heat that night, so we started driving to Long Island. Anna would meet us later, (She was staying with Rocky). I couldnt reach my parents on the phone. The machine was off, and it kept ringing. We arrived at my parent's house after several hours of driving. It was late, so I just unlocked the door, and we crept into my apartment upstairs.

I sighed as I stepped into my home. I looked around, and everything was the way I left it, albeit a bit dusty. I gave David a quick tour (this is a wall, this is a wall, theres a door, thats another wall, heres a chair....etc), and then we changed and immediately fell asleep.

The next morning (Afternoon!) I woke up, and found David awake beside me.

"Love, Im gonna go down and tell my parents Im here. Could you wait up here for a while? I want to give them a little warning that I brought a guy home."

"Ok. Mind if I look around a bit?"

"Sure, go ahead"

I took a quick shower, and dressed. I went downstairs, and found my parents door open.

"Mom? Dad?" I called. Out of nowhere, a small dog leaped at me. "Cleo!! Aww, its da puppy! Yesh it is! Its da ECW haadcowa puppy!! I missed da puppy!!" Cleo was my wittle Dalmatian/lab cutsie mutt. I heard voices outside, so I went into the back yard. Around the table sat my family.....my whole family...cousins, aunts grandparents and all. Family barbecue. As everyone noticed me, and rose to greet me from my long absence, I cursed Anna for not mentioning this to me. Surely she knew!!

"Whoa, whoa, calm down!! Yad think Ive been gone for years, not a couple of months!!"

I sat down, and was bombarded with questions, especially by my sisters and cousins, who are major wrestling fans.

"Did you meet DX? Whats Billy Gunn like? Whats gonna happen with the Undertaker?...ect"

"Wait!!! I have a surprise for you!!" I pulled an envelope out of my pocket, and a gave them tix for the MSG show. I got a chorus of Thank yous

"I have another surprise. While I was away, I met someone. I brought him here, hes upstairs."

My mother gave me a slight disapproving look, for not having told her. The chatter from my siblings started up, they were guessing among themselves "Billy Gunn!"

"No, Droz"

"I think she likes Edge"

"Hey, maybe its HHH"

"Goldust!!"

"Well, why dont you go get him?" Dad suggested.

"I was gonna do just that." I went back inside, and upstairs, and found David dressed, and watching TV.

"Guess what!"

"What?" he asked

"My whole family is down there. They had a get together to welcome me home. And now, they're trying to guess who you are."

"Cool. So I guess I get to meet them now?"

"Yepers. Lets go."

We went back outside, and I introduced him to my family.

"Everybody, Id like you to meet David" My little sister Annemarie squealed "See I told you it was Gangrel!!!!"

David towered over everyone in my family, including my father. They seemed a bit intimidated by him at first, and my mother looked a bit shocked, but she seemingly forced a smile, and she and Dad greeted David warmly.

"So Dave, do you barbecue?" Dad asked him.

"Actually, yes!" he answered. He and Dad went over to the large grill, and talked together as they started grilling various meat products. Hmm...I thought to myself That went well....Dad almost never lets anyone touch the grill My mom pulled me to the side.

"Eve, his nails are painted."

"Yeah...."

"And his tongue is pierced. Isnt he the one that has fangs?"

"Yeah, why, is that a problem?"

"I dont like him."

"How can you say that?! You dont even know him!! David is a great guy, and I care about him a lot. If you dont like him, then fine, be that way. Dont talk to him, dont look at him. Just deal with it. David helped me through a lot. He helped me when I was alone in Canada and he too+73bMvYm{n%פK p*Y%A*+6^c[]7N.EiyK=T4 cEeA8WdLJ*;tP3YMM1ueBZU#5:\Vkm40GudZ,}R-ƪ19 e!E#Kf-np,Cnm2E u@Ia/e@l R e.(R49O55=W:5n(woh34~!W|͎c$y+]j h#eTQfV+J!W06_Xݦgj}SU^* j[qn[o9i^b<,ac*J@?wh>ԂFk3L\'͡j^pKse]沅oi݄u OXE>V7hunt ^SX63#4s3ȬKJ@eR=EW%GfPH۷JeZ@u}vԴ[+4[ҽ*@ҧ<]Ko9[蚗_/1?8kq[qkYy^V?\KndBmߓ,+zpM7H`[7=FHY]ZT"9VEQXv5=N%[hxI)Dj%nb3uIJ kufR@Uv -kZIco JFyۜ*F"չ0^O^qB =c͖sGiFR8B%԰\z84.ޛmt[=jJ.eS+[@J+Wn,WzlH~.%֪= 3*WnA3oվґZ;Ҁe-[G,ɣywW&kV[X~ȪT ?s~L~\Xi}c0e)ūzꬥ #s*x!.!,dH!.dwn6i?¨jx3:d9A08dH򆅧֤UmSמybdb$L75N=ޕ&Ӌvi%P6 Pb=B?2ytV=V0 #*|צZ2;ukT!잚J;UxI)$8(1IfIK+0cE5ۑN {,EGMի0W mMe[O{-􊊯<e)ႰPInm,_jz$ *rƼ"Zkг6Ε+%됔O+(,W ɼͤ.:[T7׭mExa7ޚ >%-ҊVWҵ=oQko:]\ؠ[Tpq"BD's✔X?m_Һ֕bY!g~!1g@v<uеg>FZ->defU}!܎ jAg|MoķM=xHDjhJvhv^[켬EEon_Qnm ix5W4}gS˾g1 BfMQ9ҋ$5UҴF줓Z!{oaf[fK%tz O -׺5ל|CkUV1yfvUĺc#ܤka4e=DIѹ)E PܶI$S,vTB *'`1D =B&N!av>r5BZ*a\ymL9=M*f FG[kx AY_ #X-Ztq6%,s]D[%҆%-?}5i yQOyX{Ak [qjI9W&1t,_^:52\҉׍h!M:9V L2YYLKAשnr1/Mk,^rDR9UzF еqAv/ݽMQ#tG"T7äzqg4.9o"U/D w:w5/]k/V kciyJgT(NL4v<ѥZ)fbZdF*I-W'`+KQ&qƦkeU.ZQo,=e]GȥFHë2m"TQMgES$޼EMvcSNL*܇V=.4:s*PƥکJXJVkThWG f V!@ooliTJ-@C' EtgO#%c-N> *iO؜ޯ/M@Aw9yf͛6lٳf͛6l$HFǠK<~F`^D닑PGNƊWa`M7GN_[f HOצ79-//_MNMVD:*PMualHVWYC!}ok0"mu.Rkߣa,>$qv5`rgk6Z:]"ifX <E $C%Ư{+4L!e!xhh[qY|*ƫMiu{_].mghkU&j8FPSXR-WK}RV2(,g3B>74Vpu܀@sAe**^ Ҁ8|`iGsm cL͂jw;m]%P5,Zsm20aUzfk9綆f .=FjhpjWQʃvUԭeyVcQ cF SA| co%i;QkX[}n @&H}4GJ#$#Fs7_iVL'֊ )VKVКYB^i~blPv ͐Ҡ򦡨6F+?.\@- 3'wIhy|+D 2P1W[H9Z428D2QlBE!mU]n,`h!LwxD>{g73%~b~"*"idEM EykeZ_+D+FX!rNu ;BոDEȑʯǦr$V~, qpVvQݵ/*2xVF CdP?1< cK/gVEe xВ9%)0[ڔoSw"wByr,o2 tkVy+-@#߶rY-j -ڕQ8D(J4nyuৈTuDH+m;Bn[O2ʦQnv D瘵/ZA&SQn#fmBŬqx#,G3LOC@֭ ƿ6_,k+{tDoHRyR|4>˺U)`%[no8kƑmZ$-HԔ$q2 T%@RTV1\__1@C*/zj~WQd1Q{!ތ¿REǑ TC,׋5EiQP+C Р6pI-DoP*kM 3+ȢƤu 7~ NUF CeEr3t$2(q#ßVjZn7|g*&a<1Cv;eewXxm)$ &D^8c%3 İQSRvʀ“m+1"UWYxPk\ x ʭ ӕ:Qb6兽8ccBIZZ$pHzm#2 DGף7,^) Ear@3 0i)um7VMf;y%?+/Ni"ʲU[(pwv^RmT &M\ik4q8W݈mA+rڝέ[]Xί@_sJbʊ920H\G }+bCrbIcH~ )XHie1"@f N\GSJ~.gSo}y,74a'$I$?%GHו?Kmfw+^Ѥk^ s4 (yD=5W^WsL{]f%bL !U=YJ7JT If͛6lٳf͛6lGƴQ"u"kX,0#@Iu#'>`6hڽp\dʿkxqAR rf͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛CePŃO8uWJSHwӤxoaC+^T df:넟YO-o0"1#r)F!3܋Yb[!$?9ein'cF&ՌZ}%d#R.K FT%*sJ5}Il!KY/nagie3P5YUUYWk=*N涇OҭezKlh"@Ʈ?Kkyd Mhg[y9^W.BNXlwKF8(fw LH .2@#llsbG_Qc]oN?+DY)#gh !yiGjmYizj0C{u8o$ܻ^DFW> ҚOҰn0tH_P j)”5؞yWVNX. !RȨDe.y(HuچP'+Go1ѠYWl]I.XM H%6җz#=""t+sQBߘl/>\ZʒiPD{^kqZ7V#o#oQ 1T%ȥM9sDՒ)-O1iOmLխa8c)oU~ ZIW|lHjډbOLE,L8d i^Tt>0kz e%նѤD-%4 %f*DFN8èn[`g^-4-P>Q[-9o|t٦rZ2쾜Jjvz֝ew,9`Քww ٳf͛6lٳf͛~~m]#Pz o;4G^ݱZNxI4ҫakző"l%ϦN%VV!쥫,~[yg~@H_S+MSО[k/9 v#Ҋplv^_y]O+FLP%ЈNQUj>ܑˈMb/Yլ`NQ 1$'+M#*%ZB 5iPl =6"~amokz6iѤgG~byZb@ 7!JKk^f>'PM7Z6ЉN^h'1մk]jɩ]:n[O;\jQлdONZ򏜡dVc~kM'ʗsQy-u+wV6֚_#~ҺsqZHь$k iu滨P9zb%0s T#qʎ]z[6lٳf͛6lٳfƱ`V ?(JPvMX4@J;dBt%寖嵼[].#,uo2]Y[aӹx2YP+rP8k?&^cjzm7:ƃAԭmd$x BAA6~e'y"jTiF#$Iawo I4VȮшxAkw|-O s.d5խ&aG /;lٳf͔ПTO͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛6lLUeaFS aiW3$f1m.~K;25E7fP+W|.еh`|-^![{T.u"@jH KHc)o%ՠ(8u7Z[I"H]9&^V{MIZ|xd1*%-F- :r~]XҭfLFnM$f-S2"ߗ\:yΑbWm\αMa. wrq0GhMhZf[Ǩj7Q\!r.U#2+$-#7ޠ91yl_=odQ$Vi\JD;tO/.KGV5kO[MX$-'U}cU p>gQi:zpʮ_#+M$A-#HB?qzK 5ss 27Ӽlg,G}5ӜEA 77nK,y~K:dW|[m.9čBHgU1eKM155V gSk $ nfrcWp* GޓkV[I i zve`=F͛6lٳf͛6Qǭ;gYMho!I9xsUp@<]| jU@ P{oàΦM5jBBҗ+,Nj-8篗?=幱լ|cʷVqyJk 9N YI[3ٓ4R_([C{K Ϻv o.W^.KqߐH[DxH9Wzy[^SIӼjPUҴկ4$[<,g[d䟛\,|/Cw-Ԓ:^yhA=.v3Yzt-X,.ޣgEF2sR6ǡy&@գhm|?˟MHQbRy|e'S' yinOiA-j!$IJ(?JkR/t_vг7wk}egpք)۩(wa*!eq[_&tH5EVyuuX^*up)8 cL?58%ЈOO^_O$~ͪ<hc)c·v~S6jbTIH\kv~Xm!D VHmfm8۽6z>TW*oCZ =C+8Dt#[iW]IzңZr_sWԺ(gХdލ"[2.KMm4 yC\ ǖ5f-W|Ȃ۩mH}(سPG?U#,MQۏ|iƯNX|Mso}i}NCH1,2#G *j Zrϯ7JZy yRUҴa6=2EgŭAq[S[:=R8,&P`8ûƃoA8C-oo!VsU=1-UwՏmLtq>5,PYwI"aPUOLme)d&>4h<1iե.sg{PX ͛6lٳf͛6Qj^P4+PA?jwhw߯ޙyf͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛6l-ZԴ-VԺ Nb Sj3|e[cm̽f;{o&itZ'V f{Kmbr!z@eW{JTզЬ5M8Xye3$Grm(.B6gHsJ_jΊ%g+eXmԈP !j)ZW(9湨5Y--9Yc^i'/b fNjWӛɺuV-{I [\LUPUOPLx~͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛6lٳf͛6lٳfϝlT%]yzm 0;xc,Qi"CD6ߗXFoZοn!ݭ%C'ե*'9eP#Ms`T?FH"N ԙ>M/Mu+2Y^kBޜ%J*!-FOqmv!#U Z*3T21]ä-\0k&}Rg̏
