Amber's wicked smile emerges as the referee's hand slams against the mat for the third time; Paige remains sprawled out on the mat as she stands to her feet, holding her hands up with pride at the damage she's done. It was exactly the push she needed to challenge the pale goddess for her title. She had proved herself, shown the WWE universe why she had been called up from NXT just a few months ago and all the blood, sweat and tears seemed worth it as she buzzed with pride
She had a goal in mind, one that was shared with most of the Divas division, to be Women's Champion, and she wasn't going to rest until she got it. She always had a plan, a strategy and so far it was working; fight for what you want, take whoever out you need to and don't leave any stone unturned. She wasn't in WWE to make friends, she didn't care about being liked by the fans or fitting in with her fellow Superstars, her peers were mere stepping stone for where she wanted to get. Some people would call her ruthless but she called it focused. She could count the people she admired on one hand. However there was one group in particular that seemed to catch her attention. The Shield. They were a force to be reckoned with and they were equally as strong apart as they were together. They marched to the beat of their own drum, they didn't take orders from anyone and it was those kind of qualities that Amber admired in them, she herself had a disregard for rules.
The Shield had noticed her as well and one member in particular was watching her very closely. She had been compared to him a few times during her career. The Shield were already a dominant force within WWE, but if someone like her could join them, they would be unstoppable. The cogs were turning in his head, he could already imagine her standing by his side making there group complete. He would watch every one of her matches. It had been playing on his mind for a few weeks.
Amber's smile faded as the sound of The Shield's entrance music echoed through the arena, her eyes fixed to where they made their entrance. She wasn't about to leave the ring, she wasn't scared of the hounds of justice. She stared down each member, refusing to show any sign of weakness as they entered the ring and stood in front of her.
Dean grinned at her as he clutched a microphone ''Me and the boys have been watching you and we've noticed that you share some of the same qualities that we ourselves possess. Imagine what we could do if the four of us joined forces''
Amber didn't need anyone's help to get to where she wanted to be, she had never relied on anyone
''Look I know what you're thinking'' Seth stepped forward ''You're thinking that you don't need anyone's help right?''
Amber nodded ''Well that's how we used to feel but we soon came to realize that there's no shame in using other people to get yourself ahead in this business''
Amber knew exactly what he was referring to. As far as the WWE Universe were concerned for a while The Shield took orders from the Authority but in fact they were just using the Authority to get where they wanted to be.
''You know what Seth. You're right'' Amber said ''I don't need anyone's help. ''However... I'm not completely against the idea of using someone else in order to get where I need to be''
Seth looked over his shoulder at his teammates and all three men extended their arms out in front of them, looking at Amber to join. The arena filled with cheers as Amber extended her arm out in front of her confirming her status as the newest member of The Shield.
Seth could hardly contain his smile as the four of them made their way backstage, he never thought that Amber would accept their offer. You see Seth and Amber were alike in a lot of ways, both of them were architects. They always had a plan and a Plan B. Amber was using The Shield to get ahead and Seth was using their new found alliance to get closer to her.
Seth gently placed one of his hands onto Amber's shoulder ''Can I just talk to you for a second. In private?''
''Sure'' Amber replied as the two of them stepped away from Dean and Roman
''Well I just wanted to ask you if you'd like to go out with me sometime'' Seth was nervous, probably more nervous than he had been for a long time.
He didn't know a lot about Amber but from the little he did know, he understood that she was hard to get on with. She didn't let people get close to her that often.
"Look if this is your way of making some kind of attempt to get to know me better then I wouldn't bother'' Amber could be cold sometimes but deep down she was gentle. She had been fighting so hard for so long that somewhere along the way she forgot how to love.
''Well I would like to get to know you better but I actually asked you out because I like you''
Seth's words caught Amber by surprise, she couldn't remember the last time a guy took an interest in her in a romantic way. She could tell that Seth was nervous around her and it made her feel bad ''Do I scare you''
''Yeah- well no. You don't scare me but you can be quite cold and kind of stand-offish''
''Well I don't mean to be''
''I know'' Seth smiled taking hold of one of her hands ''I want to get to know the girl behind 'Amber the wrestler' Correct me if I'm wrong but I think there's another side to you isn't there?''
Amber nodded. She had secretly liked him too but had forced her feelings to the back of her mind, refusing to let them get in the way of her progress.
''Well then. What do you say? I could pick you up at 8pm tomorrow?''
''Yeah alright'' Amber replied with a smile
''Was that a smile?'' Seth teased, yelping as Amber's hand came in contact with his chest
