_________The sweetest sadness in your eyes...

Twilight engulfs the bewildered entities, absentmindedly wandering through the infinite darkness, their thoughts trapped among the shadows.

They research a glimpse of hope, lifting their chins toward the sky with difficulty, only to find more emptiness and gloom staring back at them, reflecting their current state.

A huge void melting incomprehension and doubts took over the emotion that commonly lays within their souls, caused by their repeated plans' failures - each foreseen by their enemies.

Sami's constant optimism has been shut down, crushed under a thousands of deceptions. Owens' habit of holding on to his sarcastic statements left him the moment he understood words are useless against sorrow.

Emma's frequent laughter soon got replaced by endless sighs, the extend of her incapacity to wrap her head around the situation they're facing almost too hard to handle. Banks' imperishable resiliency faded away in the maze of her brain, too accustomed figuring out people's hidden intentions.

Solely one ghost stands out from the bunch, no confused expression written over his relaxed features nor subject to heavy tortures inflicted to his mind. He remained silent all along whilst others' recollection kept echoing from far away, their incomplete speculations appearing as comical to him.

The menacing wind's repeated collisions with his acolytes' mouths freeze their tongues, each inevitably giving up the idea of lifting the veil on their questioning and the actual answer probably too uncomfortable to speak up anyway.

Except such truth never scared one soulless Reaper, willing to put an end to their endless interrogations and foolish conclusions.

"Maybe your team members aren't as trustworthy as you thought ?" Rollins voices on a haughty tone, discreetly recalling Sasha that she was the one attempting to outsmart him all this time ago, certain that her newly found allies would go to Hell and back for her.

Although he's now part of their alliance it surely doesn't mean he signed to bow down before the authority of the woman he himself built in the first place. Actually if he could teach her a lesson and show her how a real boss acts like, he'd be utterly pleased to do so.

Miserable condition and dark rings under Banks' eyes rapidly let him know that she's already crumbling under what he warned her about, pressure as lethal as both of their luring speeches combined would be. Even her pitiful attempt to shoot one of her frightening yet hypnotic stare back at him is a clear proof of her inner surrender.

"If someone's loyalty needs to be questioned, it is yours." An Australian's accent resonates through Seth's ears, grimacing slightly at how much he despises her disagreeable voice.

He readies himself to floor Emma with yet another of his arrogant yet accurate carreer's comparison, frequently reminding the entire group that they should feel honoured he'd even consider gracing them with his sole presence.

But syllables stay stuck in between his teeth, his mouth's door sealed as he's biting his dry lips.

"Who did that to you ?" Sasha's attention is suddenly drawn to Zayn whilst the latter tries his best to cover his face from her sight, his own gaze cowardly directed toward the ground.

She eventually grows sick of him pathetically pretending as if he never heard her question. She marches toward him with determination in her gaze and a slight touch of anxiety spreading through her arm, as she's extending it to level the hat resting upon her friend's head.

His usual perfectly shaped traits are overshadowed by a battle wound, the shiner softly brushed by Sasha's cold fingers whilst his beaming entity is suddenly irradiating from dishonour and discomfort.

"Was it you ?" Banks' tone drastically changes, becoming menacing while she's fixing her fiery eyes  upon Rollins' unshaken figure. He casually tilts his head to the side and shrugs, not much fazed by her shift in attitude - he's used to witness her bad temper's damages.

Nonetheless how Sami's stare can't properly face hers and the way he's licking his lips in a hopeless attempt to come up with a decent lie are enough signs for her to conclude she's right.

Both her hands come caressing her flawless features, taming the fury that slowly builds up inside of her fragile body and metaphorically washes off her mental exhaustion's scars.

For some reason her eyes connect with Kevin's as his clenched fist becomes the only proof necessary to conclude he'd gladly knock Seth out, but is also well aware it'd do no wonder for his cause.

Instead he quickly takes place inside of the shared vehicle, installing himself at the polar opposite from where his former ROH's friend supposedly sits - honour definitely something he's always been lacking of.

Both Emma and Zayn mimick the Canadian's movement while the Devil's kids remain surrounded by the coldness of the wind and the quiet of the night.

Seth rearranges the locks of hair escaping from his man bun and falling over his face, probably troubling the discernement one could have of his intentions - as if comprehending his motives wasn't already hard enough when such a magnificient stature whispers the words you've craved to hear your entire life.

"Maybe he's not who you think he is." Rollins accuses, an odd spark of concern perceivable in his stare seconds before his usual emotionless aura can be felt again. Sasha only has time to blink once and catches herself thinking she may have imagined the entire scene.

Indeed how come such an unaffected man could even show the smallest glimpse of humanity, his bad habit of destroying everything that ever existed around him too hard to get rid of.

Whether she had enough time to process his precious piece of information or not he doesn't stick around much longer, delivering his poisoned message before entering the filled of tension vehicle.

Hands stained by blood and head filled with an unlimited confidence, it already seems like Banks' merciless stable found its problematic yet genius member - unbearable but irreplaceable.

E L E N A ;

Filler again but hey, I swear it's once more a crucial chapter to understand the followings.

Do you think Seth accidentally hit Sami during the PPV's huge brawl ? Or maybe it happened after it ?

If son why would Rollins and Zayn fight out of the blue and most importantly, what makes Seth thinks that he has something to hide ?

As usual, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support,

lots of love xxx
