Endlessly ( A Dean Ambrose Story)

Chapter 10: Release The Hounds

"Oh my lands! It's too damn early!" Joe groaned laying his head on the island.
"What happened to Mr. Perky Pants?" I asked smiling.
"I shot him." Joe fired back.
We all had a good laugh.
"What's taking Tyler so long?" Jacob asked.
"I don't know. He's probably shopping for the perfect rental car." I said laughing.
"You're in a good mood!" Jacob smiled.
"Yea. Now YOU'RE way too happy this early in the morning." Joe joined.
I laughed. "I'm just in a good mood. It's not my fault that SOMEBODY stayed up til 4 this morning playing Call of Duty. But I am still tired." I yawned.
Just then Tyler walks in. "Everything packed and ready to go? We're running a little behind."
"Yea." We all said.
"Okay well let's get going!"
We gathered our bags and made our way to the door.
"Dude! Where are your clothes?!" Tyler asked. We all turned to see Joe was still in his boxers. I about died laughing! We waited for a few minutes for Joe to put his clothes on and headed out the door.
"So can we stop for coffee?" I asked.
"I'd like to get on the road. We have a long drive ahead of us." Tyler answered.
"Okay. But if I kill someone for looking at me wrong, it's your fault! I need my coffee fix." I warned.
"What you need is an intervention." Jacob teased.
"Bro, I agree with Anna. I need to wake up." Joe agreed.
"Alright fine! But we're not making good time! Where do you want to go?" Tyler asked.
"Easy killer. We'll make good time. There's a Starbucks to your left." I answered. Seems to me that Tyler needs coffee more than we do. I'll put a double shot in his!
***Dean's P.O.V***
"We ready?" Roman asked getting ready to load up the car.
"Yep. Here's the last of it." I said throwing him the bags.
Since Smackdown was in Nevada, we just stayed at my place.
"Seth! Let's go!" I called. Seth made his way to the doors and handed Roman his bags.
"Am I driving first? Or you want first shift?" Roman asked. I threw him the keys.
"Nah I'm going to try and catch up on sleep."
We pulled out of my driveway and was on the rode.
"Hey let's stop for coffee really quick." Seth said.
"Where at?"
"There's a Starbucks right there." Seth said pointing at the coffee shop.
We pulled in and parked. I really didn't want to stop here but it was 2 against 1. We stood there waiting in line.
"This is such a chick place." I complained.
"No it's not. It's just a coffee shop." Seth argued.
"Whatever floats your boat there Lopez."
I was looking around the shop when I heard,
"Can I get a Caramel Machi Otto medium, 2 regular coffees and one decaf please?"
I knew that voice! I peeked around to see a petite young girl with reddish-brown hair. It looked like her. No it couldn't be her. Could it?
"Dude what are you doing?" Roman asked looking at me funny.
"I thought I saw someone I knew." I explained.
"Who?"
I moved passed the people cutting in line. I had to find out.
***Annaleigh's P.O.V***
"That'll be $13.50 mam." The cashier said. Jeez these boys are expensive. I paid the man and turned to walk out when I almost ran into someone.
"Whoa!" The man yelled. Luckily I was able to save the drinks. I looked up to apologize to the man and froze when I saw who it was.
"We've got to stop meeting like this." He laughed.
"Dean! Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I didn't spill any on you did I?" I was completely embarrassed!
"No no. I'm coffee free." We both laughed.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
I looked at the coffee cups and then back at him.
"Getting coffee. You?" I teased.
"I mean here in Nevada." He laughed.
"Oh! I live here."
"Since when?"
"Since Monday." I laughed.
"Wow. Small world!" He smiled. There they were. The butterflies. He is absolutely dreamy.
"It is!"
"Do you live by yourself?"
"No. Roommates."
"Oh. Traveling with them?"
"Yea."
Just then Roman and Seth walked up.
"Hey guys!" I waved.
"Hey Annaleigh." They said in unison.
"What are you doing here?" Seth asked.
I smiled and held up the carrier of coffees.
"Yea. I see that but I mea-"
"She lives here." Dean said cutting Seth off.
"Oh." They said.
Dean and I laughed.
"Well I better go before these coffees get cold. See you guys in North Dakota. Bye Dean." I said smiling. He returned my smile and left. Today was going to be a good day!
I walked out of Starbucks smiling ear to ear.
"What are you smiling about?" Tyler asked.
"Oh nothing." I answered handing them their drinks.
The trip was long and tiring, but we finally made it to Fargo, North Dakota.
"What hotel are we looking for?" Joe asked. It was his turn to drive.
"The Hilton." I answered.
"Jeez these guys don't play around. What's the address?"
"Only the best for their stars." I laughed. And I gave him the directions.
We found the hotel. It was fancier than what we were used to.
"Yes! They have a gym!" Tyler said excitedly. We got our keys and headed to our rooms. Tyler and I would share one room while Joe and Jacob shared another. Tyler and I walked in and were stunned! A walk-in kitchen, a refrigerator, and a small table.
"Joe wasn't kidding! They don't play around. We unloaded our belongings and Joe and Jacob joined us.
"So...gym?" Tyler asked.
"Hell yea!" Joe agreed.
"I'm going to take a nap." I said.
"What? Why?" Joe asked.
"Cause I'm tired"
"I'm on the same page as Annaleigh." Jacob said agreeing.
"Y'all are wussies"
"Eh. Deal with it." Jacob said plopping down on Tyler's bed.
"Hey you have your own bed!"
"Yea well someone's gotta break it in." Tyler and Joe headed for the gym while Jacob and I caught up on some much needed sleep.
I woke up to the boys watching a football game. I jumped in the shower and started getting ready for Raw.
Raw started out great! North Dakota really brought the energy. I sat in the Divas locker room and started to dress into my attire. I didn't have a match tonight but I would be going out with the boys later on.
"Hey you're with the American Outlaws huh?" I turned to see a long legged blonde smiling down at me.
"Yea?" I said confused.
"I'm Summer Rae. I was asking because I think the blonde guy is really cute. Is he single?" Wow really? You ask me at work?
"Yep. He's very much single."
"Cool." And she walked out. That was random.
I slipped on my boots and went to find the boys. Like always, they were in Catering.
"Stuffing y'all's faces like usual." I said with a smirk.
"Dude we haven't eaten all day!" Joe said with a mouthful.
"Well you better scarf that down your throat in a hurry because y'all's match is after this." I said looking at the screen. They were right after Cody Rhodes and Golddust.
"Shit!"
We hurried to the Gorilla. The stage hand looked relieved when we showed up. "Thank God! You're on!"
Their entrance music played and we walked out and made our way to the center of the ring. I walked over and grabbed the mics and handed them to the boys.
"Fargo, North Dakota! How y'all doing tonight?" Tyler asked. The crowd responded. "The reason we're out here is because we have a few things to get off our chest. The Wyatt family, has been getting in our way and attacking our friend here." He said point towards me. The crowd booed.
"I know, I know. It's ridiculous. So we're here to make one thing clear."
"No one can touch us! No one can come toe to toe with us!" Joe chimed in. "We are here to dominate WWE! And that's exactly what we'll do. You mess with one, you mess with all. No one in that locker room can handle us all at once. Not John Cena, not the Wyatt Family, and not the new boyband wannabe's who call themselves The Shield. This is our ring now. And if anyone decides to challenge that fact, you'll learn the hard way that that won't work."
***Dean's P.O.V***
"Dean wake up! We've got to talk." I heard Roman say as he slapped me on the chest. I was rubbing my eyes trying to focus when I saw Roman and Seth standing over me with pissed off looks. "Shit. What'd I do now?" I asked. Not at all surprised if they were pissed at me.
"Not you Dean. There's newcomers who think they're better than us. We need to show them who the better men really are. They need to know that WE run this yard!" Seth hissed.
"Do what now?" I was still half asleep.
"They call themselves The American Outlaws. There's 3 of them, like us. They're good! I'll give them that." Roman answered.
"No they're not! They're not even close to being good! Don't say that they are good! WE'RE good!" Seth fired back.
"So a couple of hillbillies have you worked up? Why?" I asked. Not really caring about these so called new guys who think they're good.
"They challenged us. They claim to be better than us. Saying that they run WWE and that if we or any other superstar wish to challenge that, then the outcome will not be pleasant." Roman explained.
That triggered something. I will not be made a into a joke! And neither will my brothers.
"Well boys, it's time we go meet our new friends... and make sure they understand that this is our yard." I said as I got up and walked to the door. We made our way to where we walk out. There, we waited for our opportunity. It's time to release the hounds.
***Annaleigh's P.O.V***
The boys continued their banter. I was beginning to worry that we were overdoing our time. I motioned for the boys to wrap it up.
"Well seeing as how no one's come out here to rebuke our claims, we will be going now. We are the better team! But the offer still stands..." Joe said laying down the mic. They headed to the ropes when we heard,

Sierra, Hotel, India, Echo, Lima, Delta. SHIELD!

The crowd was in uproar. The boys looked over at me as if I knew something about this. Just then I noticed who they were: I froze. Seth hopped over the barricade into a ninja roll. His eyes locked on the boys in the ring. Dean was next followed by Roman. All had their sights on Joe, Tyler and Jacob. They surrounded the ring like a pack of dogs. Then one by one they entered the ring and had a stand off with the boys. Then in the blink of an eye they attacked. Chaos ensued and bodies were flying everywhere. I was frozen. I wanted to help, but I couldn't get my body to move. The Shield pushed the boys back into the ring and one by one lifted the boys on Roman shoulders and body slammed them to the mat. Then standing over their bodies, they held out their arms and formed a fist. They were surely pleased with what they had just done. They looked around the arena and Dean and I locked eyes. He went from looking happy to upset real quick... as if he felt bad for what just happened. The other 2 followed his glance but did not share the same sympathy.
Great. Just flipping great!
