Shot in the Dark

Chapter Two

I groaned as I rolled over in bed. "What the hell happened to me?" I quickly grabbed my head,walking to the bathroom. "Good morning sleepy head." A very enthusiastic Nikki smiled. "Jesus,Nik." I jumped. "How are you feeling?" "Like I got hit by a train. What the hell happened? The last thing I remember is running from the Wyatt brothers." "Yeah.. You ran behind the Shield,they saved you. Then when they went to check on you,you went to run from them and did a complete flip over a cart,crashing into the stuff on the other side,hurting your head." "Of course I did! Of course I had to do that in front of new people. And in front of three of the hottest guys at that!" I said,as I walked into the living room of my hotel room. "Good morning." I looked at saw the three members of the Shield in my hotel room. "Jesus Christ!" I jumped again. "Would you guys stop doing that today?!" "And Nikki! A little warning would have been nice!" I hissed. "Sorry." She smiled shrugging her shoulders. "How are you feeling?" One of them asked. "Colby right?" I sighed,and he nodded. "I'm doing just great. You must be Joe,and Jon?" They nodded their heads yes. "Okay,and what are you three doing in my hotel room,if I may ask?" "We just came to check up on you after yesterday." Joe said. "Yeah,we've never seen anyone do a flip like that before. You nailed the ground pretty hard with your face." Colby laughed. "You,pretty boy. Shut up before I make you shut up." Joe and Jon laughed,slapping his arm. I held my head,looking for some Tylenol. Once I found it,I took three. "Nik,what are we doing today? I kind of missed that part." "Let's go work out,and get some food." "Sounds perfect. Let me get changed." I started to walk away. "Mind if we join?" Jon asked. "Sure,why not." I groaned.

I quickly changed my clothes,and ran out the door,meeting them in the gym. I put my headphones in,starting off on the treadmill. I decided not to go to hard on myself today because of my head. I walked over to go get a drink of water. As I was about to take a sip,someone grabbed my wrist. I looked up and was met face to face with Bray Wyatt. I closed my eyes,swallowing hard. "Good morning,Bray." "Good morning,sister Abigail. Care to join us?" "I told you. I don't want to." "But you're meant to be with us! You HAVE to,Abigail!" He yelled. "Okay,my name is Lexy. And I suggest you back off." I hissed. Jon stepped in front of me,getting in Bray's face. "Back off,clown." He growled. "They wont be here forever,sister. You will be mine." He laughed,walking away. "Thanks again,Jon." "No worries." "I've been here a total of 48 hours. I was supposed to make friends,not enemies." I rolled my eyes. "Well,you've made six friends and three enemies. I think you're doing great." He elbowed me. "Thanks." I smirked. "Just be careful,okay? I wont always be there to save you." He smirked,walking away. We finished working out,and ate breakfast. I broke away from the group,taking a minute to myself,pulling out my phone.

"Hey dad."

"Sweetheart! Hey! How's it going? Is everyone being nice?"

"Mmm,yeah. For the most part."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing,dad. Everyone is being really welcoming."

"Who is it?"

"Those damn Bray boys. But don't worry. I've got a good support system."

"Don't forget about your support system here. Don't forget who you are and where you came from. Don't change for any of those assholes there."

"I won't dad. I promise."

"I love you,baby girl."

"I love you too."

I hung up,setting my head against the wall,taking a deep breath. This was going to be harder than I thought.

Later that evening I walked out of my dressing room,in my ring gear,looking around for a familiar face. I bumped into a tall man who I soon recognized. "Randy! Hey!" I smiled. "Lexy? Holy shit,look at you! You're all grown up now." He smirked. "You don't look so bad yourself." I elbowed him. "Hey,it's really great to see you again,let's catch up later,okay?" He smiled. "Of course!" I turned away,bumping into Maryse. "Oh,I'm sorry Maryse." I said. "Gross. Now I need a shower. Nasty slut." I took a deep breath,trying to keep my cool. She slapped me,and that's when everything went black. I didn't remember anything,not until I came to. "Lex,drop it! Let her go!" Joe's voice rang through my head. I stepped back,letting go of Maryse. "You crazy bitch! I hate you!" She spit on me. "I don't think that's such a smart idea right now!" Nikki growled at her. I took a deep breath,breaking away from my friends. "You know,you're the most interesting Diva that's shown up in years. I like your style." Joe said. "Thank you,Joe. This wasn't how I wanted this to go though." I said. "You're doing great. Seriously. Don't let the bad out weigh the good. You've got friends here." He smirked. "I appreciate that." "But.. I do want to be honest. Jon has never shown any interest in a girl here. Ever. Not even as friends. But he is you. So.. That might cause some problems. Every girl here wants him. But you're not the same as them." "Not the job requirement I wanted,Joe." I smiled. "Just watch yourself." He smiled,walking away. We were in Ohio tonight. I had a match against AJ,and a new promo with Mayrse. I had to keep my head in the game. I walked to the gorilla,waiting for my music to hit. As soon as I did,I ran out,giving high fives and hugs on my way to the ring. As soon as I got into the ring,AJ locked up with me. she slammed me on the ground,trying to pin me. I jumped up,clothes lining her. She fell to the ground. I got on the rope,walking across to the other side waiting for the perfect set up. As soon as I felt my sweet spot,I jumped on her.
1,2,3!
"And your winner is Lexy Austin!" My hand got raised in victory. I was just about to go backstage when a familiar theme music hit. The crowd was going completely insane. I put my hands on my hips,smirking.
"Dad?"
I didn't see him anywhere. I scanned the crowd for him,and got nothing.
"Looking for this?" Bray had my dad.
