Chapter 04
She growled and lunged. If Ryback hadn't been standing nearby, she'd have headbutted Dean Ambrose, shattering his nose most likely. As it were, he managed to grab her, get her away and only slightly more calm than she'd been seconds before. "Hey, hey.. Cool off, Lil." Ryback said as he looked at his friend and then tried not to laugh.
"I'm gonna rip off his face and wear it for Halloween or hang it in my garden to scare off crows." Lily fumed as Ryback asked, "What'd he do to set ya off this time, Lil?"
"The fucker tried to lick my face." Lily fumed as Ryback growled and popped his knuckles, glaring at Dean who smirked and leaned in to Lily muttering, "She's just pissed because she liked it."
"Ambrose, the day I like your tongue anywhere near my face? I'll fucking shoot myself." Lily said as she tried to headbutt him again. The calm and cold voice behind them had Lily groaning and Dean smirking, turning around, asking, "Do you really want some of this, old man?"
Undertaker smirked and shoved his gear bag at Kane then said simply, "Hell yeah. Let's go, kid."
Lily stepped back and her eyes scanned the hallways for weapons she could use, until a pair of arms closed around her, and she found herself trying to fight free from the grip of her godfather who said calmly, "Calm down. Let your dad handle this, got it, little fireball?"
"Uncle K, I would if Ambrose weren't trying to set him up for an ambush. That's obviously what he's trying to do in pissing me off when he knows my dad won't just let me handle my shit." Lily explained as she tried to get loose. Ryback jogged over to the fight, picking up a garbage can, nailing Dean in the head with it as he snarled, "See, I shoulda just let her headbutt you.. Next time, Ambrose, your mouth comes anywhere near her, I swear to God, I will kill you."
"Oh really? See, ya keep sayin that, Ryback, but I know you're a bitch."
"Oh really?" Ryback asked as he picked up Ambrose and slammed him at the wall, Undertaker grabbing him before he hit the ground, giving Ryback a raised brow as he growled at Dean, "And if you don't stop sniffing around my little girl, you ain't gonna like what happens as a result, Ambrose. I don't give a damn who you think you are, who you work for, you ain't getting near my daughter."
"Why don't ya let Lily decide for herself, Undertaker? I think she likes it." Dean said with a suggestive smirk as Undertaker punched him two times quickly then said "We'll settle this in the ring. I think it's about time I showed you who the real top dog in the yard is, son. Cause it ain't you and your two idiots." as he sent Dean's head at a wall one more time then walked off down the hallway, angrily.
Lily smirked as she walked over, kicked Dean and said with a calm smirk, "And by the way, Ambrose.. I've had better." before turning to Ryback, winking as if to indicate there were something going on there, and asking calmly, "Going to grab a smoke, big guy.. You comin? We have stuff to discuss."
Ryback raised a brow, but followed as he leaned down over Dean, saying only loud enough for Dean to hear, "She's mine, Ambrose. One way or another, this ends with me getting her. Not you. Face it. Ryback Rules."
Dean growled as he watched the two of them walk out, then laughing to himself muttered, "Funny, Rybitch.. Ain't what she said the last time I had her.. And she said then, she was mine, no matter what.. So we'll just see who walks out of this the winner." as he got up, ran his hand through his hair and set off to find Seth and Roman, informed them to go after Undertaker and Ryback even harder than they had been.
"Is this about Lily?"
"Sorta."
"Dean, you need to leave her alone.. Whatever happened that one night? She don't remember. And better still? She does not like you, man. Is she really worth getting your ass kicked over repeatedly?" Roman asked calmly as Dean fumed and said "This shit she's doin now? It's not her."
"Ambrose, maybe it is." Seth said calmly, as Dean glared at him, he threw up his hands, waving them as he said "Fuck it. Go for it, Ambrose, but this shit will only blow up in your face like it did with Regal."
"Shut the fuck up, Rollins. I just gotta figure out why she ain't even acknowledging our little time together." Dean said as he stared at the door, swearing to himself, wondering why she was acting like the few weeks they spent together didn't even matter to her now, apparently.
Outside in the parking garage, Lily sat on her Harley, smoking a cigarette as she stared at an old photo from one of those photo booths. She sighed and tucked the photo away as she muttered, "You had to go and pull a dick move, Mox." shaking her head, wondering what the hell triggered this even worse new personality he'd developed.
When he was the cocky asshole Jon Moxley, she'd had no problem with him. She even knew or liked to think she knew how to handle the guy.. But Dean Ambrose? Completely different side of him.
She bit her lip as she realized that Ryback had been talking to her for about five minutes and she hadn't heard a word he said up to this point. She took a few deep breaths and answered his question.
"What's Dean keep insinuating that he knew you before now for anyway, Lil?" Ryback asked in concern as he looked at her, leaned against a column, waiting on her to say something, anything. He tried to see what she was looking at, why she looked a little hurt just now, but before he could get a good look at the photo booth photos in her hand, she'd shoved them down into her pocket, muttered something angrily before answering, "Because he did. I was probably 18 when I met him.. He was on CZW then, and I was watching a show he was fighting in.. We started to talk, and.."
"And?"
"And I fucked up and let my guard down. Only got hurt and then got that shit rubbed right in my face. Not to mention, I got a first hand look at the start of his downward spiral. Guy is every bit the asshole he claims to be and then some.." Lily muttered, her hand raking through her hair slowly as she said "Anyway, we need to talk about tonight.. I got ya a present."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah.. Called an ambulance. I'm thinkin it'd be awesome as hell if you drove it down, parked it ringside. It's not like you're not gonna put Cena in one at Payback anyway." Lily giggled as Ryback laughed and then said "Why not just let me drive your bike down?"
"Because nobody, but nobody touches the bike. This bike is my husband."
"You're not kidding when you say that, are you?"
"Nope." Lily said as she bit her lip, found herself staring at the doorway back into the building for some unknown reason, still seething in anger at herself for having let Ambrose run the oldest mind game in the book on her.
It'd been years since they'd actually talked, and he still managed to get under her skin.. The only difference now was that she was older, not as stupid. She knew he'd never change now, she knew he was meaner than anyone realized, and she knew that if she let herself fall again, it'd only wind up resulting in him breaking her completely this time.
And she wasn't raised by idiots.
(Authors Note: Okay, I have no idea where this one is going, nor who I will pair Lily with. Anyone who wants to see more, let me know and I'll get to work on it. The idea just came to me when I was watching a replay of the show where the Shield attacked Taker. Please note.. I do happen to like the Shield, so it was really, really hard for me to write a character that has no problems attacking them. I hope this gets liked, because I sort of wanna keep it going.. If you're wondering, official choices for a pairing are Ryback, Dean Ambrose, several others. Just not sure where to take this, there's already a ton of Ambrose love on the archives, so if any of you have any names to throw at me, please do. I'd prefer someone like randy, ryback, sheamus or someone like that though.. AND THANKS TO ALL MY READERS AND REVIEWERS SO FAR! ONLY ONE CHAPTER AND ALREADY A FEW REVIEWS..
I promise Lily is NOT a complete badass. She 'acts' a lot, because she's had a really, really rough life prior to coming to live with her father.)
