The Hounds of Justice

15. Tables, Ladders, and Chairs

Kayla Reigns

We are standing in the hall, where they shoot all the backstage interviews. Our ring gear on, the boys have the items on that I got them, I have blue wrist tape as well.

The pyro goes off then the Authority's music hits. Our match is the main event so they are just going out there to talk shit. The boos are so loud we can hear them backstage.

"The Shield hasn't been around since Survivor Series, and they think they can take us down." Hunter says standing dead center in the ring.

"I mean come on look at Kayla shes...." Stephanie says before our music cuts her off.

Ambrose picks up the camera and it projects onto the tron.

"I'm Dean Ambrose."

"Roman Reigns."

"Seth Rollins."

"Kayla Reigns." I pause. "Stephanie why don't you just shut your pretty, no not even pretty, mouth and sit down." I say glaring at the camera.

"We may not have been around since Survivor Series. But we've been training, unlike you." Seth says, anger radiating off of him.

"Stephanie, didn't you just get cleared from the hospital 3 days ago? Do you really think you are ready for us?" Dean laughs, a grin spreading on his face.

"You better watch your backs tonight. Believe that." Roman growls.

"Believe in the Shield!" I yell right before Ambrose puts the camera down.

We walk back to catering and sit down with Maryse and Lana. Colby and I sit by each other, his arm slung around the back of my chair. Maryse gives me a suggestive glance but doesn't say anything. I smile to myself as we watch the match that's on.

"Shield, we need to head up to your entrance." A security member says poking his head through the door.

We all stand up, "Wait one second." I say.

The boys give me a confused look but don't say anything. I fold up my chair and hand it to Roman, I do the same with three more chairs giving them to Dean, Seth and myself.

"Might as well bring them with, it is TLC." I shrug my shoulders as they boys still give me confused looks.

Security cleared everyone from the hallway. We stand there in silence. Dean's jumping up and down, hyping himself of for the match. Seth is shifting his weight from side to side, he looks adorable when he's nervous. Roman is staring at the curtain, waiting for our music to hit. I'm just looking between the other three, I'm glad I chose to put my trust with them, but I don't know if the can trust me the same.

The Authority's music hits and the crowd boos. The arena goes silent once more and we wait for our music.

Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. Shield!

Dean bursts through the curtain. The crowd goes insane. Roman walks out and the crowd gets even louder. I go to walk out but Seth grabs me, he plants a quick kiss on my lips. He pulls away and I frown as he walks away. I walk through the curtain, the crowd seems to get even louder, and louder once more when Seth comes out.

We stand at the top of the stairs for a second, looking over the crowd. We practically sprint down the stairs, chairs in hand. We slide in the ring, The Authority comes straight at us. I raise my chair to swing and they stop. The ref comes between us and gets us back into our corners. The bell rings and all eight of us go at it, it's a tornado tag match.

Kane goes for Roman, both of them fall out of the ring. Triple H and Seth match up. Triple H throws Seth into the corner and goes to hit him but Seth moves and Triple H hits his head off the turnbuckle. Dean and Orton go at it, it's a good thing Dean already had a chair in his hand. Stephanie slowly circles me, trying to see an opening to hit me.

I drop the chair and kick Stephanie in the gut, I curb stomp her onto the chair. I cover her, a foot connects with the middle of my back. I roll onto my stomach to see Randy standing over me, he has a sad look in his eyes. Seth tackles him to the ground and starts throwing punches.

We slowly take everyone out one by one, beating them till they stay down then moving on to the next person. We take down Kane, then Orton. Leaving Stephanie and Triple H all alone. Dean is laying outside of the ring, Orton hit an RKO onto a chair and cut Dean's forehead open.

I lean against the ropes watching Triple H make sure Stephenie is ok.

"Let's make him watch." I whisper to the Seth and Roman.

They nod their heads and slide out of the ring. Seth grabs Triple H, pulling him back into the ring. Roman motions for Stephanie to get back in the ring, I can hear him telling her, "Easy way or hard way."

Seth and Roman pull Triple H into a corner, making sure he can't move. I grab Stephanie by her hair and slam her into the mat. She's already tired from the match, which has been going on for at least 45 minutes. I hit her with the Curb Stomp, Triple H tries to get free, but Roman and Seth pull him back. I grab a chair and throw it down on the mat, I pull Stephanie to her feet. I laugh maniacally and perform Dirty Deeds. Getting up I walk over to Triple H.

"You thought you could tear us apart. That you could ruin my family. We've already made you pay, now I'm just having fun!" I say to Triple H.

He tries even harder to get out of Seth and Roman's grasp. He elbows Roman in the face, causing Roman to fall off the apron. His hand connects with my face. My face starts to sting immediately, Seth loses his shit and attacks Triple H. Roman gets back up and joins Seth.

"Make him watch this!" I scream turning around.

Randy and Dean are fighting now outside the ring. Stephanie is in the middle of the ring, I line myself with her, waiting for her to get up. I can tell that Roman and Seth stopped attacking Triple H because I can hear Triple H begging for me to leave Stephanie alone.

Stephanie struggles to her feet, I throw my hands over my head and yell. The crowd does it along with me, knowing what's coming. I spear Stephanie, practically cutting her in half. I cover her for the pin while Seth stops Triple H from breaking it up, Dean stops Orton, and Roman stops Kane.

"1! 2! 3!"

The crowd goes insane as I stand up. Seth comes over to me and pulls me into a hug, spinning me in circles. Roman and Dean join in and we stand in the middle of the ring.

"We did it boys." I say hugging them tighter.

We break apart, our music hits and we put our fists out. We stand there for a few seconds soaking in the crowds enthusiasm. They chant our names one by one, my smile grows bigger when they start chanting, "you deserve it." Even though there's no title involved.

Seth helps me climb over the barricade. Roman helps Dean and we climb back up the stairs, high-fiving fans as we go. We change out of our ring gear. The medical staff checked us over, no serious injuries just cuts and to be bruises. A handprint, a deep shade of red, is clearly visible on my cheek.

"I'm ready to sleep." I groan getting into the SUV.

"Sleep while you can, we have media tomorrow then RAW." Joe says getting into the drivers seat.

"And coffee." I say.
