First Friend, Then Love ~Finn Bálor~

Chapter 15

*Next Monday*
I sat with Stephanie and Mick. "So Seth is calling out The Demon King? Is he that stupid?" I asked them. "It was his choice." Mick said. "It was a dumb choice. I hope he can handle what he's calling." I said, standing up. "Amarie, what are you saying?" Stephanie asked. "The Demon King is a force to be reckoned with. Let him know that." I said. I walked out of the office and walked to makeup. Fergal was standing there as Celeste was doing his body paint. "Need some help?" I asked her. "Always. You know how to do the eye of Bálor right?" She asked. "Yeah. I did his body paint for his first NXT paper view." I told her. After we finished with his body paint, Fergal and I walked to our locker room. "We have an hour before your confrontation with Colby so, what do we do?" I asked. "Well, I can't sit down yet, so let's just walk around. We'll hide from cameras and Colby." He said. "Okay." We walked down the hallway until Benjamin spotted us. "Mia, we have a promo in a few minutes. You should hide in there." He told Fergal. Fergal nodded and hid in the supply closet.

*Promo*
"Demon King, where are you?" Seth asked. He then spotted us talking. "Have you two seen The Demon King?" He asked. "No, not recently." I said. "Seth, I've fought The Demon. He's not to be taken lightly." Neville told him. I nodded. "He'll show up when he's ready. Which will be soon." I said walking away. "You, you're not ready to face The Demon." Neville said and walked away. "Yeah? Why don't go go back to whatever Hobbit hole you crawled out of!" Seth said.

*End of Promo*
"Hobbit hole? Can't they find some new insults?" Ben asked. "I could call you an elf? You've got the ears for it." I told him. He starts laughing. "That one is new." Ben said. Fergal opened the door and smiled. "Did they call you a Hobbit again?" He asked. Ben nodded. "She called me an elf."
"It made him laugh. I get points for that." I said. "She does. Is it almost time for The Demon to appear?" Ben asked. Fergal nodded. "Twenty minutes to go." He said. "We'll see you later, Ben. Did you get the invitation to the wedding?" I asked. "I did. We'll be there for both. You can count on it." He said, hugging me. "Thanks, Ben." I said. We headed to the locker room so I could change. I changed into

"You look beautiful, grá. Are we ready?" Fergal asked. "I'm ready. Let's go." I said. We headed to the curtain and Seth had gone out to the ring. "Amarie Moore, come out to the ring please. Please Amarie, it's important." Seth said. Finn nodded and my music hit.

I walked out onto the stage and did my entrance. "What could Seth Rollins want with Amarie? She doesn't know where the Demon is, does she?" Corey asked. "Maybe she does, Corey. She is Bálor's valet after all." Byron added. I climbed up the steps and Seth held the ropes open for me. I climbed in the ring and took the microphone from the tech guy. "What's so important?" I asked. "You are Bálor's valet, right?"
"Yes."
"Have you seen The Demon?" Seth asked. "No. I've only watched him on the WWE Network. He looks really intimidating, don't you think?" I asked. Seth started to back me into the corner. "He isn't intimidating to me. He will bow down to The Man."
"You think so." I said.  "The Demon King will bow down to The Man." Suddenly Gaelic chanting blasted through the speakers. "He's coming." I said. Seth kept going on and on until the lights went out and started flashing red. Seth grabbed me and held me in front of him. "That won't save you." I told him. The Demon King's entrance was amazing. When he climbed into the ring and sat in the corner, Seth pushed me aside. I fell and looked at him. The Demon King stood up and faced Seth. "Amarie, get out of the ring. Get out of the ring!" Corey said. I crawled to the corner and just watched The Demon King attack Seth. As Seth laid outside the ring, The Demon King faced me. I froze in fear and watched as he crawled closer to me. He took my hands and helped me up. "I won't hurt you. Finn says your special." He whispered in my ear. I nodded and Ashford ran out to the ring. "Balor, le do thoil! Ná Gortaítear di! Ná Gortaítear di! Lig dom í uait! Just a le do thoil nach Gortaítear di!" He pleaded as he climbed in the ring. "Look at Ashford! Is he crazy?!" Corey asked. The Demon King looked at Ashford and nodded. "Go raibh maith agat!" Ashford said. The Demon King let me go and Ashford helped out of the ring and we headed up the ramp. Seth looked at The Demon King and saw his sadistic smile.

Ashford hurried me backstage. The camera crew was waiting for us. "Mia, are you okay? I didn't see him hurt you." Ashford asked. "I'm fine. He wouldn't have hurt me anyway. He's a part of Finn. Finn won't let him hurt me." I said. "Amarie, what was it like being in the ring work The Demon King?" Tom asked. "Frightening. I thought he was going to hurt me." I said. "What were you saying out there Ashford and why did you come to Amarie's rescue?" Tom asked. "She's a friend, Tom. Who knows what The Demon King would have done?" Ashford said. "That doesn't answer my first question." Tom said. "I told him not to hurt her and to let me take her backstage. That's what I said." Ashford said. "Thank you so much." I told Ashford. "Tá fáilte romhat, Amarie. Ag Summerslam , tá tú ag dul a bheith ar an tráchtaireacht. Gan ringside. A thuiscint? Tá sé tábhachtach go bhfuil tú ag fanacht ar tráchtaireacht, is cuma cé Bhuaigh. Le do thoil?" Ashford said. Tom and I looked at him confused. " I said, "You're welcome, Amarie. At Summerslam, you're going to be on commentary. Not ringside. Understand? It's important that you stay on commentary, no matter who wins. Please?" I'm being serious as well." Ashford said. I nodded and we headed back to the locker room. Fergal had showered and changed into

"Hey. I brought her back." Ashford said. "Are you alright, grá? I didn't scare you too much, did I?" He asked. "Just enough for me to know you mean business." I told him. "He won't hurt you. Ashford either. Ashford is going to show Seth why the Bálor's are a force to be reckoned with. His match is soon. Go see Celeste and change." Fergal told him. He nodded and we went to the monitor. Thirty minutes later, Ashford's match was starting. His opponent went to the ring first. Then it was Ashford's turn. He was painted like a warrior. Ashton had walked out with him doing his dance.

"He's good." Violet said, looking at me. "Yeah he is. Ashton and Ashford are two unique wrestlers we haven't seen in years." I said. Ashton watched from ringside as Ashford demolished his opponent. "Damn. He's good." Travis said. "Always was." Matthew said.
After Raw, we all went to the hotel. "Eleven more days until I can officially call you mine." Fergal said as we climbed into bed. "Yep. Eleven more days." I said. I scooted closer to Fergal and he wrapped his arm around me. "I can't wait." He said. "Me either."

Balor , le do thoil ! Ná Gortaítear di ! Ná Gortaítear di ! Lig dom í uait ! Just a le do thoil nach Gortaítear di ! - Bálor, please! Don't hurt her! Don't hurt her! Let me take her from you! Just please don't hurt her!

Go raibh maith agat! - Thank you!
