Monday Night Raw:
Offscreen:
The three of us were walking backstage. I was in between Dean and Roman, still holding my head in pain. Dried tears were still on my cheeks.
We hadn't talked since we left the ring and to be honest I wasn't in the mood for talking.
Dean suddenly stopped. I looked over at him. Roman followed suit.
Dean grabbed the nearest chair and threw it against the wall. I jumped in surprise and backed up so I was behind Roman.
Roman quickly walked over and put his hand on Dean's chest, "Dude, Cool it!"
Dean looked up, "I'm not going to cool it until I get my hands on that little..."
"Dean!" I suddenly exclaimed, "Please stop," I whispered so he could barely hear me.
Dean sighed and walked over to me, "You OK?"
"No."
Roman walked over, "Listen, I know this is all quite a shock."
"Is it really quite a shock," I interrupted.
Dean glanced at Roman, the back at me.
"Don't you understand! This is all my fault!"
Dean looked at me in shock, "How the hell is this your fault."
"Because," I closed my eyes, "Triple H tried to get me to join the authority."
"I know," Dean said.
"I didn't," Roman stepped forward. "Are you kidding me?"
I shook my head, "I'm so stupid! Afterwards I just talked about it as a joke, but I was to stupid to see the big picture. I should have known this would happen!"
I took a deep breath.
"Listen, babe," Dean put a protective arm around me, "None of this is your fault."
"I should have known Triple H would not stop with me. Seth was such the obvious next guy to go to," I muttered.
"Listen, baby girl," Roman said, "Seth made his own decision."
Dean was now pacing behind me, "He made the wrong one. He just got himself a life sentence."
I tightened the grip on my head. Dean noticed right away.
"Is your head OK?" Dean asked.
I nodded, "Yeah, it's fine."
Dean walked forward, "Can I see it."
I turned away from him.
"Gabs," Dean grabbed my arm, "Can I please see it."
I looked at him and shakingly removed my hand from my face. Blood immediately started to drip down my face. I winced in pain.
"That..." Roman started.
"He hit her in the head," Dean said to no one in particular, "I am going to kill him."
"Lets go get it checked," Roman offered.
"No, guys seriously I'm fine," I said, putting my hand back on my forehead.
"He could have killed her," Dean muttered to himself, "And he wouldn't have even cared."
"You're not fine," Roman said.
"Yes I am."
"No your not," Roman urged, "Come on."
I sighed uneveningly, "OK...... fine."
Our silence continued with the occasional sounds of Dean muttering to himself.
How could Seth do this to me?

Monday Night Raw:
Offscreen:
Everyone was staring at me.
I didn't know whether it was them wanting a reaction out of me or because I had a tons of stitches in my forehead.
I paused at the Divas locker room and narrowed my eyes.
I took a deep breath before yanking the door open. Everyone looked at me.
I ignored the stares and walked over to set my stuff down. I started a little to forcibly yanking my gear out of my bag.
"Gabby."
I turned around to see Brie had walked up to me.
"What."
Brie tried to be careful, "You doing OK?"
"No."
Brie chuckled lightly, "OK..."
"Listen Brie I appreciate what you're trying to do, but can you please not talk to me right now," I said.
Brie looked down, "Oh, I guess I'll leave you too it then."
I put my ring gear on as quick as I could, still sticking with my Shield gear before I walked out of the locker room.
I didn't even know where I was going. I was going to no where in particular. I just wanted to get away from people.
Onscreen:
3MB was standing in the ring. They were rudely interrupted.
"Oh no." Cole said.
"3MB run, run anywhere but here," JBL warned.
Dean and Roman appeared at the top if the stairs and started walking to the ring, an angry look on both their faces.
"Where's Gabby?" Cole asked.
"I don't know," Jerry said, "But I think 3MB realizes its two on three."
"Yeah this is unfair 3MB need a lot more people," JBL said.
Dean and Roman didn't hesitate in going right after 3MB. Dean took it to Heath Slater as Roman went after Drew and Jinder.
Drew and Jinder were able to get Roman out of the ring. They were able to take him down, but not for long. Dean came flying in out of no where and hit Drew to the ground.
Heath quickly tried to take refuge on the stage, but it didn't last long.
"Spear out of no where!" Cole screamed as Roman almost broke Heath in half with a huge spear.
Roman roars to the audience as they started chanting his name. Roman headed back down to the ring and got in to where Dean already was, microphone in hand, taking deep breathes.
Dean turned to the crowd, "The Shield was untouchable. We will go down in the history books as one of the greatest groups ever. We dominated WWE, we beat everybody," he smirked at the crowd, "Even Evolution."
"But we weren't healthy," Dean continued, "We had a cancer inside of us, later did we know that cancers name...." Dean took a deep breath as he tried to calm down, "That cancers name was Seth Rollins."
"Everyone knows someone like you Seth. The type of person who would stab his brother in the back. Suck Up. Sell out to the authority," he spat.
"Now when I get the opportunity to rearrange your face, which I will," he said with a serious, "Your nose won't be here anymore," he pointed to his own nose, "It'll be over here by your ear. I say that because you'll only have one left. I'm going to rip the greasy hair from your roots and I'm going to stuff it in your mouth where your teeth used to be."
Dean took deep shaky breathes as he gave the crowd a crazed look, "Seth Rollins... my brother. You are scum."
The crowd cheered him on as he continued, "And we are looking forward to hearing what that scum has to say tonight. We're going to listen as Triple H's words come out of your mouth. We're going to listen to every word, then we're going to beat the hell out of you."
He knocked the microphone to the ground and started pacing. Roman gave him a weird look.
Dean quickly picked up the mic and gave it to Roman. Roman laughed lightly before he stepped forward, ready to speak.
"Seth you committed the most unforgivable sin," he took angry breathes, "You are the scum of this earth."
"Theirs three things you don't do in life. You don't tug on supermans cape, you don't piss in the wind and you never stab your brothers in the back," he paused, "But your only part of the problem."
"The other part is Triple H and Randy Orton. Randy, you walk around here and act like everyone owes you something, you think you're the face of this company. When I get my hands on you Randy, you're going to be the ass of this company."
"And after I'm done with you," Roman said, "I'm coming after you Triple H and we're going to have the real game of thrones. Believe that."
"Short and sweet to the point," Cole said, "Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns have laid out there plan."
"Yah, but the question still remains guys," Jerry said, "Where is Gabby."
Offscreen:
I was backstage, sitting by myself, blaring music through my ears, so I couldn't hear anything around me.
Someone tapped my shoulder.
I took my headphones out and looked up.
"I've been looking all over for you,"
"Sorry," I muttered.
Dean sat next to me, "We just did a promo without you."
I shrugged, "That's OK."
Dean put his hand in mine, "We have a match tonight," he said, "Against Summer...... And The Wyatts."
It had just gone from bad to worse.
"Who are we teaming with?" I asked.
"We have to find our own partner," Dean said, "Any ideas?"
"No, not really," I told him, "No one really likes us."
Dean chuckled lightly, "Yeah I guess. We'll just have to keep looking."
I looked over at him and smiled a little, "It's hard. You don't work well with others."
Dean stood up, "I only work well with three people and one of them is a class A douche."
I chuckled.
"You want to be alone?"
I nodded, "Yeah, I'll come meet you later."
Onscreen:
Michael Cole was standing in the ring. Their were two chairs laid out.
"Ladies and gentlemen welcome my guest at this time," Cole said, "He is a former member of the Shield. Please welcome Seth Rollins."
A brand new theme hit for the sell out. Seth Rollins appeared at the ramp.
"There he is," Jerry said, "A lot of people think Seth Rollibs sold out to Triple H and the Authority."
"You know what I think, King," JBL said, "I think the other members of the Shield are jealous."
"You heard what Roman Reigns said," Jerry said, "You never stab your brother in the back."
Seth entered the ring and shook Cole's hand before taking a seat.
You Sold Out chants filled the arena.
"Seth," Cole started, "Welcome."
"Thank you."
"Theirs been a lot of talk..."
Seth interrupted, "Michael, let me stop you for a second, because....... I don't understand what the big deal is. Are we just talking about what happened last week because to me that wasn't a big deal. I was just doing what was best for business."
He continued, "The Shield, the greatest faction in the history of WWE created by me. You don't think I have the right to destroy my own creation?"
He smirked, "It takes a mastermind to come up with a group like the Shield. You think Dean Ambrose is at all responsible for that? Dean Ambrose is a lunatic. Given a week to his own devices he's face down in a ditch."
"And Roman Reigns. The golden boy," he paused, "You'll never see anger and fury like you've seen in Roman Reigns, but without someone to control that fury, he's worthless."
Seth smiled, "And then their is Gabby Bryan, the great savior of the divas division," Seth chuckled, "Didn't even have the spirit left in her to show up tonight."
The crowd booed loudly as he continued.
"Those three are nothing without me! They owe me every ounce of success they have ever achieved."
"Seth," Cole said, "Not many will argue that the Shield was about four individuals that came together to form an awesome team. Not just about one man."
Seth shrugged, "I guess we'll find out later tonight when the pathetic remnants of the Shield have their last hoorah out here against Summer and the Wyatts."
"Let me ask you a question Michael," Seth turned to him, "Why is this such a surprise. I took the Shield higher then anyone thought possible. We dominated. We conquered the world. We even beat Evolution in a clean sweep and from every experience in life you learn something. You know what I learned from Evolution."
Seth stood up, "I learned that to be a success in this business you have evolve, you have to adapt."
The you sold out chants started up again.
Seth grinned and shook his head, "No, No, I bought in. I bought into the Evolution of Seth Rollins."
The Shield's music came on. The crowd exploded. Seth jumped in surprise as his face became a little worry.
"Seth better high tail it out of here," Jerry said.
I appeared at the ramp, microphone in hand. Eyes narrowed.
Seth's face turned quickly into a smile.
"Theirs Gabby!" JBL yelled.
"Yeah, but this might not be the smartest thing for Gabby to do." Jerry muttered.
I didn't keep my eyes off of Seth as I headed to the ring and walked up the steps. I got in as my music cut.
I just stared at him for a second. The smile never left his face.
I raised my microphone to my lips, but Seth interrupted.
"Gabby!" Seth exclaimed happily, "I didn't think you were here tonight! It's humbling, honestly for you to come out here. I mean the last time I saw you, you were crying, but you look better now."
I took a shaky breath. I knew I shouldn't have come out here.
"Well," Seth said, "Except those stitches, I have no idea where those would have come from."
I slowly put my microphone to my mouth, "Like hell you don't," I said in an angry tone, trying to refrain myself from yelling.
"Woah, take it easy," Seth put a hand on my shoulder. I flinched, "I'm actually glad you're out here because I have been talking a lot to the authority as of late and I made a suggestion to them."
I pushed his hand away.
"Hey, you will thank me later, I will guarantee it," Seth said to me, "Listen, The Shield can't be the Shield without me I hate to say this to you, but it's true."
"So since you can't be with the Shield," Seth said, then looked at me with a smirk. "Why not join a group that you will benefit far more from."
I put my microphone to my mouth, "You actually think I'm going..."
Seth put a hand on my mic. "Hey, hear me out Gabaru. You see Dean and Roman are worthless but you. Not so much, are you. That is you won't be if you join the authority."
"Seth isn't seriously doing this right," Jerry said as the fans booed. I rolled my eyes.
Seth put his hand on my shoulder again, "Everything that you have achieved with the Shield, you can achieve ten times that much with the authority. You can have anything you ever wanted. You can finally be Divas Champion."
Seth laughed, "You honestly think Dean Ambrose will help you win the Divas title. At the end of the day, that lunatic only cares about himself. But I do care. I want to see you grab that brass ring, but I can only do that if you join the authority. Come on, sis. All you have to say I'll join the authority and all your dreams come true."
My eyes left his for the first time as I stepped away from him.
"Do it, Gabby!" JBL yelled, "Don't be stupid."
I raised the microphone, "Sorry to tell you this, brother," I said sarcastically, "But the authority already asked me before they asked you and I said no. Looks like they had to go for their second choice."
The crowd oohed as Seth's grin disappeared.
"That struck a nerve!" Jerry exclaimed.
"OK," Seth said slowly, "I tried being nice. I'm going to tell you right now if you don't join the authority your life will be hell on earth."
I shook my head, "It looks like I'll be in hell either way."
I continued, "Why don't you stop lying through you teeth," I said, "Like you actually give a dam about me. If you did give a damn about me, you wouldn't have made me get stitches and you wouldn't have stabbed me in the back."
I took a deep breath, "You were supposed to be my brother! I trusted you Seth!"
Seth walked up to me so we were inches apart, "Maybe to you, Dean and Roman we were brothers... and sister," he added, "But to me we were just business partners," he said slowly.
"You don't even have the guts to hit me right now, because you care so much," Seth said, "You are worthless without me. You're going to regret not joining up with me."
I looked away.
Seth stepped back, "I believe your boyfriend said earlier tonight that he was going to let me speak my peace, and then he and Roman were going to beat the hell out of me," Seth easily tossed a chair from the ring, "Well, I've said my peace."
"Seth's calling out the rest of the Shield!" Jerry said.
"Enough about that, how stupid is Gabby!" JBL yelled.
I looked back and saw Dean and Roman heading to the ring. Seth stayed his ground.
Dean and Roman joined me in the ring just as the lights turned off.
When the lights turned back on, it was Harper and Rowan in the ring.
Ok, two on three.
I felt someone hit me in and the back and I fell over. I instantly knew it was Summer. I spun myself around and started nailing her in the face as I was finally able to get my anger out.
I pounded Summer to the ground and turned around. Roman and Dean were making a beeline for Seth. Bray ran in and attacked Dean from behind, allowing Seth to escape.
I turned around just in time to see Summer club me in the side of the head.
Only superman could save us now.
John Cena's music hit and he came running out. Summer got so distracted that I was able to toss her from the ring.
Dean ran over to me right away. I waved him off as my eyes searched for Seth in the arena. Of course he was gone.
"I think The Shield have found themselves a partner," Cole said, who had rejoined commentary.
...........................................................
Wow I had a lot of feedback last chapter, which I guess wasn't that surprising, but very mixed feedback. Keep it coming.
Hey guys I just realized something cool. This is probably really lame to everyone else, but I like little things like this.
Chapter 29: Gabby finds out she has to join the Shield
Chapter 129: The Shield is destroyed.
Exactly one hundred chapters :).
OK, I'll shut up now. Hope it was worth reading.
