Sellouts

When you have tried and tried with no luck, selling your soul seems to be the best thing...

Smackdown!

Three Weeks Before WrestleMania XXX

Houston, Texas

Daphne Anne watched on backstage as Kane and The New Age Outlaws dismantled The Shield. She held on a serious look on her face, knowing that she hated to send out The Outlaws, but it had to be done, and it was best for business. She has been Kane's assistant ever since the beginning of the year, and had promised her that he would help her regain the Divas Championship, if she were to join The Authority, so she did the unthinkable and sold her soul to the devil's favorite demon, and never looked back.

"They're going to find out what you did, and the hounds will be after you." hearing the claim appearing in the lonely office made her turn around. She locked her blue eyes with Brie Bella, who had come into the office to talk about the tag match that she and her sister were going to have later at the night. Also, about the way that Daphne's acted these past three months.

Daphne didn't move a muscle, in her 'corporate darling' outfit that consisted with a black sleeved blouse and red skirt with black heels. Her jet black hair was straight and long, passing her shoulders. She never expected to speak to Brie anymore, but it ever since dealing with Daniel Bryan, her fiancée, she had been in the crosshairs of the Bella Twin, "They will not after me. Rollins won't allow that to happen," she said, talking about Seth Rollins, who had taken the position of being the leader of The Shield, "Besides, they won't know that I sent The Outlaws. You only know, and it's going to remain that way." she retorted with a smirk.

Brie kept a serious look on her face, "They'll find out. They always manage to get what they want." she said slyly, and left her to think of her words. The scene ended with Daphne watching The Shield pick themselves up to their feet, after the brutal attack from Kane and The Outlaws.

"Alright, we're clear!" the camera man announced as Daphne Anne transitioned back Daphne Consuelos, her normal self.

"Wow! That was so good!" Daphne walked up to Brianna Garcia-Colace, who was best known as half of The Bella Twins as Brie Bella. She grasped her hands in excitement, believing that Brie did a good job at the segment.

Brie smiled, "I felt that intensity in that segment. Can you believe the moment, when I ask for a match against you at Mania? Do you think the fans will be excited for the match or do you think that they are not going to care about it?" Brie asked her, "I need you to push me to be the best."

"I think that people will care. Don't they always? Management has been praising us and this feud between the two of us. It's been build up so well and with that little camera time to express our feud has been interesting. So, I think what we should do is continue what we do and give a good match." Daphne responded in high spirits.

"Will do, but Nikki and I are going to go out for a drink, want to join?" Brie offered.

"Daphne shook her head, "I wish I can, but I promised Colby that I'd ride with him back to the hotel. Jon and Joe are riding in one of the cars and Colby doesn't want to be a loner in the other one." she respectfully declined, not wanting to, but she wanted to keep her promises to people that she already made promises to, "Maybe next time?" she said.

"Totally! I'll catch you later." Brie walked off, looking at her phone and leaving Daphne to herself. Daphne managed to befriend everyone in the locker room, but The Bellas were the ones that she found herself hanging around lately. Especially, Brie. There was something that was so genuine and down to earth about her. She didn't like flashy things and she liked being healthy; that she admired so much about her. Daphne hung out with her specific group of friends, The Shield, The Bellas, Renée Paquette were that specific group. Phil Brooks a.k.a. CM Punk and his girlfriend and Divas Champion, April Mendez, also known as AJ Lee were also part of the group, but April began to get distant of them, when Phil left the company due to his frustrations. She felt alone, and that she had no one else to talk to. The Shield, The Bellas, Renée and Daphne all wanted to give her the space she needed, not knowing if they will hang out again as that original group.

After, she walked over to the empty chairs of the arena, knowing that the Smackdown Backstage Pass was being filmed, but she wanted Colby to know that she had not forgotten to carpool with him. The Shield were in their characters having an interview with Tom Phillips.

"What I'm wondering is how Kane got one over on The Shield? Because one hundred out of one hundred times, Tom. My strategy is bulletproof!" Seth Rollins stated angrily as he tried to cool himself down from the outburst "But, kudos to Kane, putting one over on us. I didn't see him recruiting The Outlaws, did you? I—" Seth had enough with talking, he is frustrated.

"I don't think he did," Dean Ambrose spoke up, followed by the most awkward silence ever, that even made Daphne uncomfortable, "Think about it." he added on, followed by another awkward silence, but his words did have impact as it got Seth thinking.

Trying to cut out the awkward silence, Roman Reigns stood up and walked over to the mic, "Monday night, we're going to find out whoever it was, made a mistake. They didn't finish the job, but we will." Roman ended the interview like that and walked away, Seth following him as Dean limped, trying to catch up with them.

After the camera stopped rolling, Daphne walked to them, "You three look terrible." she was never the one to sugar coat things and lie. She was not a liar, she was very blunt sometimes and the WWE knew what she was about, when they signed her a contract.

"At least, I'm not a sellout." Jonathan Good retorted at her, referring to her script of selling her soul to The Authority for a shot at the Divas Championship.

"Oh darn," Colby said sarcastically, "I was going to get all dolled up for you, but you're here now." he continued joking as she smirked.

"Oh don't worry, Colby. You're always a doll to me."

As Daphne hated to admit it; carpooling with Colby was always fun. Tons of bantering going on between the two of them, and it made the ride back to the hotel go by fast. Colby hated it when their ride back ended. If he could have a conversation with anyone all night, Daphne would be that person. She was so vocal and opinionated that it made it fun to debate with her.

"So when I'm at New York, I am going to have an interview promoting Total Divas. It sucks that I can't be promoting WrestleMania because golden boy is promoting it, but at least I was decided out of the cast. They could have went The Bellas route and went with them, but I appreciate that they went with me." Daphne told Colby, changing the subject for a fiftieth time.

"Sucks that I can't be there for support and that Joe has other tasks to worry about, but least you got Jon," Colby wasn't making things better for her, knowing that she and Jon are complete assholes with each other. He watched as she threw her head back against the cushion, "I know how you feel about him, but being stuck backstage is so stressful. I would be nervous for you. I'd be giving you a shoulder massage and pep talks." he joked around.

"I don't want that and you know it. It just sucks that you're not going to be there. I had a wonderful outfit picked out, and unfortunately, you won't be able to see it." she smirked as Colby grinned sarcastically, loving how cute she was when she bantered to him. He knew for a fact that she would looking gorgeous in the outfit that she selected, just like she is in her ring attire. Daphne turned facing Colby with a dreamy grin on her face as Colby smiled back.

"Don't worry, I'll just have my eyes glued to your Twitter until you post the pictures."
