Sometimes things happen for a reason, and we have to go through tragedy to gain insight on what goes on in our lives. Two unlikely beings thrust together, than to be torn apart over jealousy and hatred can find a way back to one another. Fate has a way of finding ones other half no matter the trials those people go through to realize that they do truly love one another.
It had been two years since the young woman, had been anywhere near the squared circle, and now she was anxious to return to what she loved doing. Two years, taken off due to emotional and physical injuries, two years away from those she considered her second family. Backstage busy with the crew teams preparing for the show, that would start soon, making sure every mic worked, and that nothing would go wrong. A small sigh passed, pale colored lips, as she made her way backstage. It was the first night of her being back, and she had a match against Maryse. Nikki Rae had never been one to get along with the blonde French Canadian, and tonight wouldn't be any different.
The match between the two divas' was unannounced so no one knew that she was coming back. It helped a little that she had changed since the last time she had been anywhere near the ring, and to tell the truth she was somewhat nervous. Nikki Rae sighed pushing her now, shoulder length brunette hair away from her face. She frowned again since she was still getting used to its short length. She had also lost some weight and looked the best she had in awhile. The soft clicking of her heels seemed to draw her out of the trance like state she had drifted into as she walked. Finally stopping as she reached the Diva's locker room she hesitated for a split second before entering the room.
In a flurry of movement, and screams she was dragged into locker room, but not to everyone's delight. Not all of the divas were happy to see her back. Nikki Rae laughed lightly at the girls as she got ready, she missed this just bonding with them, and it was something she never really did when outside of the company. Nikki Rae didn't have many female friends it just didn't work out well in the end for her. Soon enough she was ready, and the others wished her good luck. Though normally Nikki Rae wasn't one to wear the skimpy outfits they wore as Divas, she was changing and decided that she would. She exited the locker room wearing a black bikini like top, which had two blood red hearts on it. The top showed off a flat stomach, and the ruby stone in her belly button ring. Black short shorts covered her lower half, with black and red converse wrestling boots that reached her knees.
She paced around out back, as she made her way to the curtain, she didn't like the fact that both Shawn and Paul, where gone. Shawn having retired after his second match against Undertaker at Wrestlemania, and Paul was out because of an injury he had received when he faced Sheamus at the same event. "I could really use those two for support." She muttered to herself. The show finally started but her match wasn't for another twenty minutes, so she waited off to the side near the curtain. Keeping quiet she watched as superstars, came and went not really paying her much attention.
Her gaze went to the small television screen, as she watched Randy beating on The Miz. Granted with the storyline the little weasel deserved it since he wouldn't have won the title, if Wade and the Nexus hadn't injured him before hand. Speaking of The New Nexus, she smirked seeing CM Punk coming towards the curtain, with David Otunga and Mason Ryan. She moved from where she sat, and went and stood in front of him an eyebrow raised. Phil looked at her blinking a few times, before he realized who it was. "And here I thought you weren't coming back squirt." He said crossing his arms against his chest. "Yea almost didn't think I was going to, but I'm better now and over shit as much as I can be." She said with a shrug. "Anyone else know?" Phil asked hugging her. "Other than the Diva's no one I know of." She said with a small shrug. Phil chuckled lightly, as she put a black masquerade style mask on. "What's with the mask?" Otunga asked, causing her eye roll her eyes. "So People don't realize it's me when I go out there, there are some people I don't want to know yet." She added as an afterthought, as Randy went by them.
Phil glared at the man as he went by, and a few seconds later Mike went by as well. Nikki Rae sighed shaking her head faintly. "Guess it's my turn now, I'll talk to you later since you'll get mad at some of my stupidity when I was gone." She muttered before turning away from the small group. Phil only shook his head and sighed watching her as she walked away. Nikki Rae grinned as her music played. "You're a beautiful wreck, now you're out of control crossing the double lines. You're a perfect disaster the road to catastrophe. Don't stop for a sign, Heat break waiting to happen, headlights cut through the rain. "She came out with a smirk, loving the confused murmurs of the crowd, as she made her way to the ring. Once her music died out she smirked as Maryse made her way towards the ring, with her usual egotistical I'm better than you strut. She shifted faintly as the blond climbed into the ring, itching to attack her. The Bell rang but Nikki Rae put her hand up for a moment, taking the mask off, she smirked as she crowd went wild. "Yes that's Azrael!" Cole said with a smirk. "The Angel of Death has finally returned to the ring" Lawler added. Nikki Rae smirked as Maryse charged her and the match really began.
The match ended with Nikki Rae winning, She smirked as she walked backstage, blinking a few times at the crowd of superstars that had gathered. "You gots some splaining to do missy." John said with a grin, as an innocent look crossed her face. "Surprise?" She said smiling at them all. John came and hugged her. "We missed you kiddo it wasn't the same with you gone." He said finally letting her go. "Yea I know." She said with a small laugh. Ted just gave her a look, and she flipped the bird at him in return. "Well you two never change." Punk said earning him the bird as well. "Go finish the show guys I'm going to shower." She said with a laugh as she wandered away from them all.
"So the little trouble maker is back." Came Mike's voice from her left, and she grinned at him. "Yep, and be prepared to be tortured." She said with a laugh. "I knew I didn't miss you." He said as he hugged her either way. "You're horrible at lying Mike." She said glancing around him at Kevin. "Don't even get any ideas. " Mike said watching her. "God he's not even cute, Mizanin don't even go there. I'm done with relationships right now." She said with a roll of her eyes. "Till you see Orton." He muttered under his breath, and she kicked him in the shin. "Jackass." She muttered leaving him.
Emerging from the Diva's locker room once more all showered and clean. She was wearing a black disturbed shirt, and a pair of dark blue skinny jeans. Her knee high boots made a soft clicking on the cement floor as she made her way towards the parking Garage. " So you finally came back." Came Orton's voice causing her to stop in her tracks. Turning to her right, she faced the older man. Chocolate orbs glanced up and down his form, and sighed faintly, before they finally locked onto icy blue ones. His eyes had always been her weakness, and now wasn't any different. "Yes, I came back. Did you really think I would be gone forever?" She asked, finally dropping her gaze to the floor. Randy watched her for a second, his face a mask as he hid everything he was feeling at the moment. "Figured you'd wait till Levesque was back." He said coldly. She looked up at him, an eyebrow raised. "Drop the attitude Orton I'm sick of it." She said glaring at him suddenly. "Leave Paul out of this, you're clearly pissed off at me. So when you learn to talk like an adult come find me till than I don't want to speak to you." She said calmly turning away from him and finished her way to the garage.
Reaching her car, she slid into the driver's seat slowly as everything seemed to hit her faintly. Brown eyes slid closed as tears erupted from behind closed lids. "I'm sorry" She whispered, though it wasn't like anyone could hear her. Sitting there she let the silent tears fall before she wiped at her face. She knew that she'd see him, but why was she still crying over him? She had told herself that she was over him, but clearly the tears said otherwise. Finally having her emotions under control she left the arena and made her way to the hotel. Getting to her room she frowned, finding other peoples stuff in the room. She shrugged throwing her bag on the empty bed, then proceeded to go through whoever's bags were there. She laughed though finding that it was Dibiase. "I bet Stephanie had something to do with this." She muttered under her breath. A few minutes later, previously mentioned superstar entered the room, somewhat confused seeing her in the room. She laughed faintly shaking her head at him. "Yea, I'm your room mate." She answered him before he could ask. Ted only shook his head faintly at her comment. "Figured that they'd stick you with me." He said calmly. "Why'd you think that? It's not like I'm a little child that can't take care of herself." She responded sarcastically. Ted just chuckled lightly. "I think they just wanted to make sure you were with someone you actually liked." He said. "Uh huh I'm sure that's what they told you." She said with a smirk, she squealed though as Teddy ran at her tackling her onto the bed. Ted being Ted began tickling her, ignoring her screams for him to stop. A knock on the door drew their attention away, and she managed to push him off of her, before she darted towards the door. Pausing for a second, she opened it and wished she hadn't.
It seemed that everyone now new she was back, and thus the reason why one Cody Runnels was hugging her and spinning her around the room. "Cody!" She yelled laughing. She really couldn't win when it came to these two. "Damn it Cody put me down!" She yelled. Finally the young man did as asked and put her back onto the ground. "I hate you both." She said pouting. Ted and Cody just looked at each other and laughed. The three hung out for awhile, talking and playing games late into the night.
