Priest's Princess (Damian Priest X Reader)

Chapter Twenty-Six: Sledgehammer

You sit by the window overlooking Damian's yard. It's a beautiful sprawl of grass receding into a foggy tree line. There's always either fog or rain around his house. As unlikely as it is; every time you look into the fog you expect to see The Undertaker. 

"London?" You hear. It startles you but you realize who it is. Damian standing in the doorway clad in his pajamas. "The hot water went out and I had to check the boiler. It should be good when you take your bath." He assures.

"Thank you." You smile. He returns the gesture and goes to his closet. But he hesitates as he looks through his assortment of clothes for tomorrow. "I've been thinking about this battle and what it entails." He begins. You look to him. "If you are defeated, somehow, I will do the best I can to take care of you." He says.

"I trust you would." You reply. Still laser focused on the tree-line.

"London, I also thought about the alternative." He says. He gathers what courage he has and walks over to you, stopping just beside you. You don't initially realize. "What alternative?" You ask. 

"Look and see." He requests. 

You turn to him. 
Your heart instantly starts to race. 

In his hand lays a box containing the most beautiful diamond ring you've ever seen. "Will you agree to stay here with me? I'll do everything in my power to make every single day for the rest of our lives as beautiful as the one's we've already spent together?" He requests.

You can't offer a reply as your breathing hitches, "I---I---"You begin. You have to hold onto the table. "Do you need something to drink?" He asks. You nod. He goes to the mini bar in his room, "I have Dasani?" He offers. You hastily shake your head. "Tap water?" He offers. You nod. He gives you a glass of water and you gather yourself, "I don't know what to say." You respond catching your breath. 

"Yes?" He asks.

You start to think it over, but your heart answers quickly. "Yes. We have time to figure things out I suppose." You agree. You expect him to put the ring on your finger. But he doesn't.

He's frozen.

"W-what?" You gasp frantically. You look down to the tree line, and slowly but surely you watch the Undertaker walk into view. This is your nightmare come true.

None of your friends are home. Not Rhea, Bayley, or Tay.

You try to unfreeze Damian but you can't. "Why isn't it working?" You gasp.

"Isn't it obvious? You've gotten too weak." You hear in a voice you recognize. Alexa.

"Show yourself! Come out and face me---" You begin before you're rushed and pushed onto the floor.

"You wanted me and here I am." Alexa huffs standing over you.

She starts kicking you and her kicks are heavier than the ones you're used to. They might even rival Rhea's.

You manage to roll away and gain your footing. You lunge for you phone but Alexa takes it. She breaks it in half, "Even if you could call them, I already have reinforcements waiting." She hisses.

She tears into you fighting you into the hallway. She's getting the best of you at every turn. She kicks and throws you like you're merely a plush. The most brutal attack is when she throws you against the wall and you roll downstairs hitting every stair along the way.

You're bruised and beaten at this point. "You're as weak as you've always been, and I even gave you time!" She hisses. She gets a running start and runs down the stairs aiming to punt kick you. By instinct only you dodge her and hit her with a fury of punches and kicks. It's a strong-style offense you learned from Asuka. She eats the attack and you and her get into a slug fest. "You dumb bi--" She starts when you kick her in the stomach and pedigree her. 

She lays entirely still. Before leg sweeping you. She mounts you choking you. "You broke my nose! You'll pay for that!" She roars. You claw at her face, raking her nose and all. She howls in pain falling off of you. "So we can fight dirty?!" You ask.

You pick up a steel chair, "Asuka taught me the first one. Seth Rollins taught me this." You say. You hit her with a fury of chair shots as she groans in pain and tries to escape you. You follow her only to realize she was trying to reach Damian's sledgehammer. She arms herself with it and slams it into your ankle forcing you to the floor in searing pain. She laughs at your visible anguish. "Bow down to the queen bitch." She hisses.

She continues attacking you and you're blinded with pain. It doesn't help you off the floor.

She holds the sledgehammer to your throat, "Give me your arrow and we can end this. I might even have mercy on you." She says. 

You take ahold of the handle of the hammer and force it away. She gasps at the show of strength. "I'd never yield to you!" You roar. You leg sweep her and mount her landing punches only a few could weather. She fights you off quickly and the brawl spreads through out the house. She throws you against the wall knocking down pictures. You throw her into tables breaking them and sending their contents onto the floor. The tornado of a battle only slows when you both tire.

"Enough of this." Alexa announces. She motions her hands and a portal opens. Two new combatants step through, Mandy Rose and Ricochet. 

You gasp at the sight of your estranged fiancé.
