Saving grace.

Stairs, huh?

*Next Monday at Raw*
Nikki's POV
I was getting ready for mine and Brianna's tag match, when I heard a scream. I shrugged off thinking someone was just rehearsing their promo or scene for tonight. As I was stretching Seth and Roman walked up to me, Dean was currently busy making out with Renee in the corner. I stood up straight and looked at them with a soft smile." Hey guys. Great match tonight." I said.

Roman chuckled." Wasn't it? I always love beating this ones ass." I couldn't help but laugh but then quickly fell silent as Seth glared at both of us. Then I suddenly heard the same scream again, except this time it sounded familiar.

"That's sounds like Brie! Her and Daniel's lockeroom is over there!" I said running at full speed following then scream with the boys at my heels. I knocked rapidly on the door." Brianna, are you alright? Open up please!" I practically screamed through the door but no one answered. I looked over at Roman and he got the message, he speared himself through the door. We then saw exactly how Brie got those bruises and they certainly weren't from falling down stairs. Daniel had Brie by her neck practically strangling her as I saw fresh bruises on her cheeks and arms. She looked over to is helplessly but it seemed as if we were all to shocked to move. Luckily Seth had enough sense to actually do something and began walking up to Daniel clearly pissed. Daniel quickly let Brie fall onto the ground as he began walking backwards only to walk straight back into a wall.

"Look I can explain.. I." Daniel said but couldn't finish his sentence as Seth's hand connected with his jaw. Seth then began beating the living hell out of Daniel. He probably would've killed the man if Roman didn't pull Seth back.

"He's not worth going to jail over man." Roman said as Seth stood there breathing heavily as Daniel was bleeding on the ground.

Seth's POV

"How could he fucking do this to his wife!" I thought to myself as Roman held me back knowing I very well could've ended Daniel's life. But he was right this scumbag wasn't worth jail time. I slowly calmed myself as I looked over to see Brianna still on the ground huddled into a ball with her knees to her chest. "I'm fine.." I muttered to Roman who looked at me making sure the fire in my eyes died down before releasing me. I walked over to where Brie was and picked her up bridal style. She burrowed her face into my chest and I could feel her sobbing heavily." It's okay Brie, I got you now. It's all over." I whispered to her softly and calmly as I ran a hand through her brown hair. She seemed so helpless and that killed me inside, I don't know how anyone could hurt her. She was so innocent and beautiful, almost like an angel. I patted her back as she continued sobbing into my chest." Let it out love." I said then realized Nicole and Roman were staring at me." What?" I mumbled to the both of them, I was just making sure Brie was alright. They both knew how much she meant to me, after what happened between me and Leighla, she was the only one there for me. "Why don't you two inform Stephanie of what just happened, I know she cares deeply about her employees well being. I'll clean her up and take good care of her. I promise." I said speaking more to Nicole than Roman as I knew she was broken inside knowing her sister has been getting beaten without her knowledge. The two walked off to go talk to Stephanie as I instructed, I began walking with Brie in my arms back to my lockeroom but I had to do one thing first. I walked over to where daniel was basically unconscious and kicked him as hard as I could where the sun don't shine. "Come on Brie, lets get you fixed up." I said carrying her to my lockeroom.

Brie's POV
I couldn't help it as I continued sobbing into Seth's shirt, I heard him say something about going to his lockeroom. He carried me as if he was afraid to break me, I couldn't blame him considering I just spent the last five minutes sobbing in his shirt. He probably thought I was pretty fragile, I had to admit I felt a weird sense if comfort being in his arms but I tossed that thought out of mind, after all we were close and he just saved me. Of course I'd feel safe near him. He set me down once we got in his lockeroom on a couch and I immediately wanted to be back in his arms. Even though I knew Daniel was in a bloody state at the moment, I still felt scared. Seth must of sensed that as he quickly sat beside me on the couch wrapping his arms around me. He whispered in my ear." You're safe Brie, I promise you." I nodded and said." Thank you Colby for saving me." He nodded and kisses my cheek in a best friend sorta way.
