Chapter 4 Apologies, facts and a hunting knife

Raven's POV

I got to work earlier than usual the next day, a cold drink gripped in my hand. I swear it was hotter than yesterday, seriously I felt like I was melting. I hadn't thought anymore about Randy Orton and his little comment. It didn't bother me as much as I made out, I guess I just over-reacted still I wasn't gonna apologize until he did. Knowing the male ego he wouldn't be doing that for a while. As I entered the Diva's locker room, Gail, Beth and my cousin Nattie looked at me worried and concerned.

"What?" I edged past them and shoved stuff in my locker. I slipped off my flip-flops and shoved them in as well. I was used to bare-feet and if I was allowed too I would wrestle in bare-feet but that wasn't acceptable. Figures.

"Is it true?" Gail looked at me wide-eyed.

"What?"

"Yesterday you punched Randy in the face"

"Yeah" I shrugged like it was no big deal which to me it wasn't. "I wonder if catering has any coffee left?"

"Do you have any idea what you have done?" Beth whispered. I could never imagine a woman of her caliber being afraid of anything.

"Um..." I wasn't stupid enough to think he would let that go, I bruised the man's ego and prooved that the indestructible walls he put up could be pushed down. I had majorly pissed him off so revenge was expected and to be honest I was looking forward to it. It had been a while since I had a worthy adversary. Knowing his track record I may have finally met my match.

"You have to apologize" Nattie put in quietly.

"I have to what now?"

"Say your sorry"

"If I say sorry to him I would be lying and I don't do that"

"Raven you don't understand. If you don't apologize to him he will make our lives a living hell" Nattie said pleadingly at me.

"So not only is he a pig, he's a coward" I said thoughtfully. "You know it's a pity I couldn't of used him for my last psych paper. That would of been a challenge"

"Raven you have to say your sorry"

"Do you know what he said to me yesterday within five seconds of meeting me?"

"What?"

"He said if I wanted to last on RAW I would have to go with him so he could initiate me" He could of meant anything by that but it was pretty clear what he meant.

"Initiate how?" Gail looked at me worried

"By puting a tiara on my head and knighting me" I said sarcastically "By fucking me, how do you think!"

"Raven" Nattie looked at me again

"No, I am not saying sorry to him unless he says it first"

"You don't understand Rae. If you don't say your sorry he will make our lives hell and we can't do a thing about it. Because at the end of the day it comes down to us or him and they always choose him"

"Is that why you guys jump when he says so?"

"Yes because I like working here. We like working here" Nattie said.

"Fine" I said bitterly "I'll retract the claws but if he pisses me off again the claws are coming out and their staying out" I slammed the door behind me. I hated going back on my word but me being me, I put others first. I wouldn't be the only one feeling his wrath and I didn't have it in me to let them get dragged into my seemingly blossoming war.

Randy's POV

Gently I touched the slight bruise on my jawline as I looked at the purple mark in the mirror. Usually I would of been pissed as hell but I had to admit it was a pretty good punch even if I was on the recieving end. Leaving it alone I sat back down in my private locker room. She burst into my mind in a flash I wondered why she of all people would be in there. John was right she wasn't my usual type but there was something about her. Something that made me think of her so strongly. I shut my eyes for a moment and tried to clear my thoughts of everything. There was only one word for her, beautiful. Not the fake kind of beauty that half the bitches around here have, raw beauty. Beauty that would be there no matter what she did to her body. Sighing annoyed at my early poetry I pulled out my headphones. Raven was alot stronger than John gave her credit for and I guess that's why I made my little remark. I wanted to see how she would react and honestly she is the first woman I've had to actually not only deny the offer but have enough guts to strike. No! She was just another Diva that needed to be put in her place, there was absoutely nothing about her that I liked.

Soft tapping came at me, I realised that it was the door. I just ignored it, it was probably Kelly. I was no mood for her at this point in the morning. If it was Raven...Where the fuck did that thought come from? The tapping came again louder and more inpatient.

"Fuck off!"

"Open the damn door Orton or I'll knock it down!" Raven growled back. That anger in her voice twisted something deep inside me.

I opened it and just looked at her scathenly silently cursing myself. Her long black hair was held back with a clip, a few silver curls hung free down her face. That sudden urge to curl my fingers around them pissed me off greatly.

"What do you want?"

Raven took a deep breath, her slender fingers gripping her coffee cup tighter. "I am here to apologize for yesterday. I should of just walked on and ignored it. I'm sorry for hitting you"

I didn't see that coming, she was full of surprises something I found very interesting. I wondered just how far I could push her, how far I could push until she made the same mistake the other ex-divas did. Went crying to the management and they found out the hard way, management always chooses me.

"Well I accept your apology Raven"

She went to walk away when another mean idea came to me. "On one condition"

She stopped and looked at me, her silver eyes clouded over suddenly. "And that is?"

"If you come in here and show me how sorry you are" My eyes travelled down her body stopping purposely on her tits, they almost burst outta her bikini shirt.

She just looked at me shaking her head in amazement and disbelief. Those beautiful curls swinging slightly. "Wow you just keep ramming into walls don't you"

"Rather ram into you"

Droplets flew at me dripping down my face, she had thrown her drink right at my face and for a split second I was caught off guard, searing pain shot up my ribs and I realised she had punched me again. The air was pushed from my lungs and I steadied myself against the door.

Muttering angrily she stalked away. Pulling myself up I went and sat down on the bench. She didn't look like your typical Diva and judging from her semi-psychotic outbursts she didn't act like one either. Somewhere deep down inside me I liked it.

I went almost an entire day without seeing her again and I hoped the random thoughts I had about her were just flukes. They had to be. As soon as I got to the main locker room I groaned inwardly, there she was at least covered up a little. She was immersed in conversation with Daniel, Evan and John.

"This is a MEN's locker room" I growled at her. Instantly they all shut up, even John. Guess that was a good thing with being me, I was boss and they knew it.

Playfully she snapped her fingers "Your right, Sorry guys looks like me and Randy gotta leave"

"That your form of an insult?"

"Not at all Orton, just my way of saying when a man picks on women that he knows can't or won't defend themselves is not really a man. Well at least thats what other men say"

I smirked at her "I suppose thats you saying to me that I should leave the Divas alone?"

"Do what you want I can't stop you, nor will I try but here I was thinking you would realise that I'm the one you should be hating not them. But then again your an idiot so you won't listen"

"You best watch yourself" I growled getting angrier by the second.

"Wow you are so not smart are you? I've already prooved twice that I'm not afraid of you but your still trying to scare me. Wow I don't think there is anyone dumber than you"

"Hello Gents!" Wade Barrett annouced like he was the greatest thing in the locker room. His pathetic minions right behind him.

"I stand corrected" Raven annouced looking at me. "I apologize"

"Cena!" Wade barked "Where were you? You were meant to meet me this morning"

"Go fuck yourself Barrett" John snapped. He was taking this way too far.

Finally he spotted Raven, smiling greedily he eyed her up and down. "Well aren't you a pretty little thing"

Raven looked around confused for a moment "Oh your talking to me! It's been a while since I've been called pretty but thank you"

Wade whispered something to Justin Gabriel for a moment.

"Ha! Bangers and mash" Everyone just looked at her except me. I got the joke. That little laugh escaped my lips before I could stop it.

"See he gets it"

Wade's eyes narrowed, he got the joke too evedently "You've got quite the mouth on you"

"Maybe you should teach her how to use it" Justin spoke up that disgusting smirk on his face. That anger swirled inside me and it took everything I had not to leap at him. He was the next one on my punting list for that little remark.

"You have five seconds to apologize for that remark or something really bad is going to happen" Raven said, all that cheer gone from her voice. I wasn't sure what she planned but I had the feeling it was gonna be good.

"Really?" Wade mocked her a little "I'm shaking"

"5...4...3...2...C'mon guys don't make me do this"

"I actually wanna see what you got planned, knowing you Divas a little slap to the face" Wade sneered at her.

Raven just shook her head "1" Out of no-where she pulled a very long long knife and stabbed him right in the hand. Everyone jumped back in shock as Wade began to scream.

"Your a fucking psycho! How dare you stab me in the hand!" He kept ranting and raving, his screams becoming more desperate and cowardly. Raven however sat there and laughed like it was the funniest joke in the world. I'm sure her eyes were rolling around in there sockets.

"I really thought I would miss! This is so awesome. I still got the aim!" She clapped her hands wildly like an over excited child. She calmed down and looked at Wade, "Wow it is true, british people are stupid"

"You stabbed me in the hand!" He shouted at her, Nexus didn't know what to do, no-one did.

Raven rolled her eyes "Do you feel any pain? Do you see any blood?"

We all looked at it and sure enough their was nothing there, tentively he took his hand back breathing in relief. The blade of her knife stuck to the table. "See I just hit you where it hurts the most. Your ego, now everyone in this room but especially your loyal followers know that not only are you an idiot, your a coward." She pulled her knife out and stuck it back wherever she kept it.

"And now I need coffee. Dan come with me to get coffee" She was back to giggling. Daniel just laughed and looped his arm in her's and headed out the door, leaving us in shock.

Ok, she was absoutely fucking insane and I had never been more turned on in my entire life.

Should I go on?
