A/N: So after reading Past Crimes by Howl Of A Werewolf, I got this idea for a story. I haven't written any Red Dead Redemption stories beforehand.
Three weeks ago...
"Just admit it already, you put up those pictures of Zahra just like Leighla put up the ones of me! I never thought of you as a traitor before this, Mandy… but nowadays, you've been a completely different person and it's because you've spent more time around the Demon King and less time around me and your other friends!" Seth shouted after Amanda once again denied being responsible for posting the pictures of Zahra, the 25 year old brunette feeling horribly insulted and betrayed.
"I'm not the one who went and posted anti-Semitic pictures online, that was her! She's a racist bitch and you're too blind to see that!" Amanda yelled.
"Bullshit! You just don't like that I cheated on my ex fiancee, that didn't give you the right to go fuck up mine and Zahra's relationship! Why don't you go screw Finn and see if that'll make you feel any better, huh, little Demon Mistress?!" Seth yelled drunkenly, the last part as a taunt as he downed the last shot of whiskey.
Furious, Amanda took the mostly empty bottle of Jack Daniels and smashed it down onto the hotel table, Seth turning severely startled at the smaller woman's rage as she was also drunk.
"Mandy, I-" Seth starts to say, Amanda grabbing him by his shirt collar in a threatening manner.
"I've had it with your bullshit, Rollins… go find someone else to call your Shield sister!" Amanda growled, shoving Seth back before packing her things up into her duffel bag and storming out of the room at the Ashling Hotel.
Down at the hotel lobby, Finn and Joe were walking into it and out of the freezing weather when both saw Amanda in the hotel bar drinking Jameson whiskey and Finn walked over to her.
"You have a fight with Seth, love?" Finn asks, Amanda nodding as she downed her third shot before she motioned to the bartender to pour another but Finn stopped him and the bartender walked away as Finn sat next to Amanda and pulled her into his lap, his arms around her.
"I just don't know what to do at times when he blows up at me and starts screaming… he never used to be like this." Amanda says, brushing her tears away as she rested her head on Finn's shoulder and absentmindedly tugged on the sleeves of her Balor Club hoodie. "He claims that I'm the one who's different, why doesn't he just look in the mirror?" She says bitterly… and hissed slightly, rubbing her stomach as the lack of food and excessive alcohol made it ache.
Reaching over, Finn grabbed the trashcan that the bartender handed to him and held Amanda's hair back as she threw up, Amanda stopping and Finn handing the trashcan back.
"Take her upstairs, get her to drink some mineral water and eat something light before she falls asleep… she'll be okay." The bartender says, Finn locking his right arm around Amanda's back and placing her duffel bag on his left shoulder.
Having eaten a grilled cheese and drank some water, Amanda started to think clearly again and got cleaned off before changing into some warm pajamas, brushing her teeth and rinsing her mouth out with minty mouthwash before spitting it out and recapping the bottle.
Downright exhausted, Amanda headed into the room and curled up next to Finn as they watched Tv.
It wasn't long before Amanda fell into a deep and much needed sleep, Finn pulling the covers over themselves and tucking some of her hair behind her right ear.
"Sleep well, Mandy. Everything will sort itself out in the morning." Finn whispered, kissing Amanda on her forehead and closing his tired blue eyes.
All of it was chaos… and it had to stop at some point.
Waking up the next morning, Amanda didn't feel as bad as she did… and also felt Finn's arms around her, rolled over to face him as he opened his eyes and let out a slightly lopsided smile.
"How you feeling, little lady?" Finn asks
"A bit worn out… but I'll live." Amanda says, her head burrowing into Finn's right shoulder as he lightly stroked her long and disheveled hair.
Seth would calm down eventually… but Finn was hesitant to leave Amanda by herself…
Present time…
"I don't know how you got into playing this game but it's a damn good one, love." Finn says as Amanda played Red Dead Redemption… it was one of her ways of de-stressing, playing as John Marston.
But then something strange happened… a bright light nearly blinded the young diva as well as the NXT Champion and Finn grabbed Amanda and threw her to the ground, protecting her from the crackling electric sparks… then it stopped and the two looked at each other.
"You okay, love?" Finn asks, Amanda nodding as they looked at the man on the floor.
Opening his eyes was painful… but even more confusing, he wasn't on the desert ground but on a cold floor and saw that Finn and Amanda were looking at him as Finn pulled Amanda up to her feet.
In a strange twist to John Marston, Amanda looked similar to Abigail.
Amanda looked from the Tv, which John had never seen before, to the video game case… and back to him.
"What… where in hell's name am I?" John asks as the two helped him up.
"Orlando… look, this is…" Amanda starts to say but trailed off when John saw all the things nearby... the cell phones, Ipad, earbuds, none of it looked familiar to him.
"What… is all this? Am I even in 1911?" John asks.
Finn and Amanda looked at each other, both completely caught off guard.
How were they gonna explain to a man that he was 104 years in the future?
