Rhea Ripley X OC [(DISCONTINUED)]

Chapter 37

TW- Swearing.

I pulled up into my driveway, making sure not to block in Bianca's car and parked. I turn off the engine and grab my phone. Stepping out, I lock my car up and head to the front door. I walk in and get greeted by Barry and Luna, we walk to where Demi and Bianca are; which was the living room. "Hey you two, have fun while I was gone." I ask as I flop down on one of the armchairs. They both nod, "So, why'd they call you in?" Bianca asked.

I proceed to explain everything that was said, about the bosses wanting me to move over to SmackDown for a few months all the way to the possible storyline with Sheamus. By the time I was done, Demi looked pissed. "Why didn't they decide this a month ago when my injury happened?" Demi said angrily, I just shrugged and I told her that I had no idea why they left it till now but did mention the fact that pictures were taken of Sheamus and I at the party Alexa hosted a couple months ago. Neither Demi or Bianca liked that but we sat and spoke about it for about 30 minutes before Bianca left.

Demi stayed silent for quite awhile after Bianca left. I mean, I couldn't blame her with the bombshell I'd not long dropped on her. Another hour past and Demi still hadn't said a word, I couldn't take the silence anymore. "Dems please say something." I said quietly, she just sat there staring at the floor. "Please Demi, I don't know what to do about all this and would really appreciate my girlfriends input here." I said really getting tired of the silent treatment I was getting, "What do you want me to say hm. That I'm okay with watching you on TV all lovey with someone else." She said coldly. "You know I would never do anything that made you feel uncomfortable love and if that mean turning down this brand move then that's what I'll do." I replied calmly.

She just scoffed and stood up to walk out, "Oh no, you are not walking out before we talk about this." I said sternly, standing up myself. She stops and turns to look at me, "What else is there to say Payton because from where I'm standing, I don't see anything else worth talking about." she spat out. "What's so bad about wanting my girlfriends opinion on all this. I wanted us to do this together, as a team decision, not have you mad at me and making me feel like all this is my fault." I retorted, starting to get angry myself.

We ended up having a yelling match for about 10 minutes until I said, "Well I guess that's it then. We're done. I'm not gunna have you stand there making this my fault when it fucking isn't. I didn't ask for them to fucking move me. I didn't ask for them to put our fucking storyline to put on hold. And I sure as fuck didn't ask them to put my into a storyline with Sheamus." I hissed and stormed out of the room.

All of a sudden, I started feeling hot. Like really hot, it was like my skin was burning. Then it hit me, my anger and frustration had gotten to a dangerous level. I need to release all the excess energy and fast.

I ran into the garage and slammed the door behind me. I sent Demi a rushed text, telling her to keep the dogs and herself away from the garage; that my magic was currently a ticking time bomb ready to explode and that no matter what she heard to just stay away. She replied with, "Okay, I'll take the dogs to the backyard. Just please... stay safe."

I threw my phone on the couch and ran to the centre of the garage, away from anything flammable. Then a wave of pain hit and I fell to the floor, hunched over. I suddenly lurched back, being forced into the air and that's when the flames erupted from my body...

An almighty scream leapt from my throat as this happened. After a few moments of being suspended in the air, I dropped down to the floor but the fire didn't die down. I felt in control again so why. I stood and took a deep breath still surrounded by the roaring flames. Closing my eyes, I focused on the water manipulation techniques my mum taught me when I was a child. I let the memories flow through my body as I moved in a single fluid motion, calling out to the water all around me to congregate and bend to my will.

As the water started to gather, I continued with my movements. I could feel the water without actually touching it; I could see all of my surroundings without actually seeing them. I could sense my water dragon Leviathan forming and still, I continued. I could feel the flames being extinguished around me. A smile formed on my face as I heard Leviathan release a low hiss.

Once I felt a soft and wet lick on my nose, I knew Leviathan had finished with his duty so I opened my eyes and there he was...

I released him from his physical form by relinquishing my control over the water, letting it evaporate. I walked over and grabbed my phone, messaging Demi that I was fine now and that I was going to bed. I didn't wait for a reply, I just left the garage and went up to my room. Changing into some pyjamas, climbing into bed and falling asleep.
