Someone Special

Chapter Six

Melody couldn't believe her eyes, it was already hard enough to believe that Roman Reigns was here, but now Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins were also here. She was in the same room as The Shield. Melody had a look of shock and excitement on her face as Dean and Seth came in. Seth was trying not to stare at how beaten and bruised she was while Dean had a smirk on his face from her excited look. Roman went over to one side of the hospital bed while Dean and Seth came over to the other side.

"Oh my God! I'm in the same room as The Shield!"

Dean burst out laughing at this.

"Well hello to you too."

"This is amazing, you're all here, and even in your Shield gear."

Seth now had a smirk on his face, looked at Roman and finally broke his silence.

"That's because when Roman found out you were in the hospital, he was so worried about you that he dropped everything he was doing and we left before we could change."

Melody had a smile on her face, but Roman just rolled his eyes.

"You guys didn't have to come you know."

Dean walked over to Roman and pat him on the back.

"Sure we did. We're brothers remember? We do everything together. This girl must really be important to you if you would drop everything just to come see her. So Roman... if she's important to you, she's important to us too. Right Seth?"

"Right."

Dean looked over at Melody.

"The only thing is Roman hasn't told us what happened."

"Only because this is a personal thing that happened to Melody. I don't think she wants the whole world to know. Seth... her situation is kind of the same as Olivia's."

Seth seemed to understand. With Olivia she had been through abusive relationships that became public one night when her abusive ex showed up at Raw. Luckily for Seth and Olivia they found each other and changed all that. This situation was kind of the same with Melody except she's never been in a relationship at all and she was just a victim of poor circumstance.

"So I would really like to not bring it up unless Melody is ok with it."

"You can tell them Roman... I think they really need to know."

Roman goes on to tell Dean and Seth that he first met Melody at a bar. He told them that Melody only worked at a bar so she could sing for people. He ended up saving her from being raped by her boss and his friends. He stayed the night at her house for two different reasons. One of those reasons was because it was late and he didn't want to go back to the hotel. The other reason was because he wanted to stay for the night to make sure nothing happened. He told them that Melody was a good cook and that she cooked him breakfast before he left to go train with them and that they had each others phone numbers. He then told them what Melody told him. He told them that her relationship with her mom wasn't very good, but her brother John actually cared for her whether he wanted her to know or not. He told them that her boss had been stalking her and that he came to her house and tried to kill her. He beat her until he heard police sirens and ran off leaving Melody passed out in her own living room. Once Roman told them everything he knew they understood why Roman wanted to help her. Seth was quiet while Dean was enraged.

"Well... Your boss sounded like a real Asshole. Someone's gotta catch that Son of a Bitch! Also... your mom walked out on you, she sounds like a real Bitch too. I feel for you Melody, I really do. I'd like to help out too when I can."

Roman looked over at Seth to see if he could figure out what he was thinking.

"Seth... what are you thinking about all of this?"

Seth looked at Melody and it reminded him of the first night that he met Olivia.

"Seeing Melody here reminds me of the first night I met Olivia... she was attacked by a guy at a gas station. He tried beating her and left her for dead. I showed up and ran the guy off. Your story is so similar to Olivia's... I've got your back too Melody."

Melody smiles at them and then looks at Roman.

"And you know I've got your back. It looks like we're all here to Shield you from whatever comes your way."

Melody couldn't help but laugh at this. Roman smiled at her. He was glad that he could make her happy. He thought she had the cutest laugh.

"You guys are awesome."

A few days later Melody was released from the hospital. Her face was looking better, but she still had a few cuts and bruises that took a while to heal up. She wasn't alone, The Shield came with her. Once she got home she was glad that she was home, but at the same time she had a feeling that someone was watching her. After being attacked, even with The Shield around she still didn't feel safe. They wouldn't be around forever, they would have to leave the next day for WWE.

"Nice place."

"Thanks Dean. I didn't really think it's much, but at least it's a place to stay. I don't really own the place, I pay rent for it, but now I guess I'll have to go looking for a new job. The lady I pay is very nice and she understands that it's not always easy living on your own for the first time. I've been living on my own for two years now. When my mom kicked me out I had to think fast so I found this place. Hopefully the lady that I pay to stay here will understand and let me stay. I'll really have to start paying her when I get a new job."

Melody told them that they could make themselves comfortable. Dean and Seth did just that. Dean took off his shoes and laid down to rest his eyes. Seth was sitting down in a chair on his phone checking his Twitter and Instagram. Melody jumped when she felt arms wrap around her. She looked over her shoulder and saw it was Roman and instantly relaxed. In a way she liked being in his arms, but at the same time she felt slightly uncomfortable. He leaned in and whispered in her ear.

"Is there something on your mind?"

She turned around to face him. She could see the look of concern in his eyes.

"Yes... It feels good to be home, but something still doesn't feel right. I looked around when I got home and didn't see anyone, but I still feel like Mark could be around watching me. I made the mistake of opening up my door to him, but now I'm just worried that he could come in when I least expect it and finish what he started."

"I don't think that will happen. Even if he does try something, he would have to get through us first. As long as we're around, he's not going to lay a hand on you."

Melody smiled but thought:

"But you guys are leaving tomorrow. Once you guys are gone things will just go back to the way it was before."

Roman had the idea that someone was watching her and thought she was right. Once they left she could possibly be attacked again. He had a plan, he had already talked it over with Dean and Seth. They would test it out later. It was still daylight, they would stay until about seven in the evening. Then they would leave without really leaving so they can watch her house overnight. The thing about it was Melody didn't know about their plan. When it came time for them to put the plan into action Melody started getting worried.

"Are you guys leaving?"

"Yeah... something really important in WWE came up, but we'll be back tomorrow to hang out with you before we have to leave."

"Oh... Ok then."

"Before we go since you already have my number Dean and Seth thought they would give you their number too. Now you have three friends to call or text whenever you want."

They tell her goodbye and go out the door. They get in their SUV and leave, or at least make her think they left. She had that uncomfortable feeling return. She locked her front and back door and did everything she could to relax. She would usually put on some music but instead she decided to turn on the TV. It was getting dark outside and she felt nervous so she turned on a few of her lamps to light up her living room. The wind was howling outside and she could see and hear a tree branch knocking on her window, there was a storm moving in, but it wasn't raining yet. She had a window the exact same size as her door, but she had blinds and curtains that went all the way down to the floor. She had the doors locked and now closed the blinds and curtains on her windows so she was sure no one could look in on her. She sat back down and flipped through the channels and saw a bunch of scary movies were on. Usually she wouldn't mind scary movies, but she felt like she was in one where the killer could pop up at any moment. She decided to keep flipping through the channels. She decided against calling or texting the guys. Maybe she was just being paranoid, she needed to relax. Finally she found something that she could watch. She found late night cartoons. Most of them were reruns, but she enjoyed late night cartoons. They made her laugh and it reminded her of her childhood. For the moment she could forget about her fear of being watched or the fear of the approaching storm. She had a cell phone, but also a house phone. Her house phone rang which interrupted her from her thoughts, she had finally calmed down and went to go answer her phone. She wasn't sure who would be calling after nine at night, but she picked up the phone anyway.

"Hello, this is Melody Shores?"

There was silence on the phone at first.

"Hello... is anyone there?"

There was silence again, but suddenly she heard what sounded like breathing on the phone. She listened for a moment to make sure she wasn't the one breathing in the phone. Now she was the one being quiet on the phone and the breathing on the other end became louder. This started freaking her out so she hung up the phone. She had to calm herself down again. Her doors were locked, and no one was looking in at her through her windows. She tried not to freak out, but with everything that was happening and that creepy phone call she couldn't help but be a little paranoid. The storm was getting worse outside and was messing up her TV signal. The lights started flickering and after one big shock of lightning everything went completely dark. Luckily Melody had her battery charged on her phone and her phone had a light. Now she was really scared because her power had gone out and she had no way of distracting herself from being scared. The only light she had now was her cell phone light. The storm outside only seemed to be getting worse. She went to the bathroom for a minute to try to pull herself back together.

"Relax Melody... there is nothing to worry about. The storm will be over soon and the power will be on soon. There's nothing to worry about, it's just a power outage. You don't need to call the guys over this. They could be very busy anyway. They said they would come back tomorrow. Just stay calm Melody... you're going to make it through this. Stop being paranoid, the doors are locked and the windows are covered. There is nothing to worry about."

The Shield was in their SUV and kept watching over Melody's house. They saw that there was woods on the other side and couldn't really see well because of the storm. When Roman saw the power go out he wanted to go back.

"Her power just went out. We should get back over there, something doesn't feel right."

Seth was on his phone checking a weather app while Dean was trying to get Roman to calm down.

"Roman chill man. It's just a storm. The power will be back on in a few minutes. Stop worrying about Melody. Nothing is going to happen while we're still here."

While Dean was trying to get Roman to calm down and while Melody herself was trying to calm down no one knew what was about to happen. Melody was in the bathroom trying to get away from the storm when she heard a window break in the other room and she heard laughter from the man she had been trying to avoid.

"Melody... come on out. I know you're here. You answered the phone."

Now it was clear that it was Mark that was on the phone. He might not have known before that she was home. He had indeed been spying on her and knew she came home, but thought maybe she left with the guys that came with her. When he saw them leave he called to see if she was home. Melody had trapped herself again. First she just lets him into her house without thinking, now she foolishly answered her house phone and made it obvious that she was home alone. Melody turned off her light and stayed as quiet as she could and hoped that he would go away. She had the door locked and got down in a small gap between a wall and the toilet. She did the best she could to make herself as small as she could and try to hide herself. She could hear Mark on the outside looking for her. She heard a lot of things being thrown around and broken outside the bathroom and she could hear Mark start yelling.

"I know you're here, but hiding will only make it worse. Come out come out where ever you are. You can't hide from me forever, I will find you. I missed you baby. I'm kind of glad that you're alive. Maybe I want to hear you sing at the bar again, maybe I still want you... or maybe I still want you dead."

It was quiet for a moment like maybe he had given up searching for her, but then her fears were realized when she knew he found out she was in the bathroom.

"Oh... so you're hiding in the bathroom. I should have looked here first, that way I wouldn't of had to break so much nice stuff."

Melody saw a light, it must have been either a flashlight or a cell phone light. Her heart was beating at one hundred miles per hour and she did everything she could not to scream. It didn't take Mark long to bust down the bathroom door and enter the bathroom. He looked in the bath tub first and saw it empty, he looked by the bathroom sink and he saw a small gap by the wall. At first he thought there was no way she could fit in that small gap and thought maybe the door actually was locked with no one in there until he checked again and he spotted her.

"Oh there you are Melody. Nice game of hide and seek, but I found you now."

Melody screamed as he got closer to her and she tried to punch and kick at him to get him to go away.

"Get out of here, leave me alone!"

"Why would I do that? I finally found out what I wanted."

He grabbed her and pushed her up against the wall and yanked her shirt off. She started crying and screaming as he started kissing her with the smell and taste of cigarettes and alcohol on his breath.

"NO! NOT AGAIN, PLEASE STOP! LEAVE ME ALONE, DON'T DO THIS!"

"I do want to hear you sing one more time. I want to hear you sing, and cry, and scream my name as I fuck you. Then when I decide I've had enough, I want to hear you sing, and cry, and scream when I kill you. Lets work on that first one shall we?"

Melody screamed and cried as Mark's hands went all over her body and went to take off her clothes. Luckily her cries and screams were heard and help came a lot faster than last time. Melody screamed and cried even as Mark's body was pulled away from her. This time only her shirt was torn off. She still wasn't aware of what was going on, she heard yelling. She laid down on the floor and curled up in a ball crying as she closed her eyes as she was left in the dark. She just listened as she heard fighting and yelling.

"DID YOU THINK WE WE'RE GOING TO LET YOU TOUCH HER AGAIN?! DID YOU THINK WE WOULD LEAVE HER?! YOU SON OF A BITCH! HOLD HIM UP BOYS!"

Melody couldn't see much, her tears were making her vision blurry, and it was still dark throughout the house. She could make out three more men in the dark. The Shield! They came back. They had Mark up in the air and did exactly what she thought they were doing. They were actually around her kitchen table, they had Mark up and they slammed him back down for The Triple Power Bomb breaking her table in half leaving Mark in pain. Out of all The Triple Power Bombs she's seen The Shield do together, this was her favorite. She still couldn't help but cry over what almost happened. They could all hear crying.

"Dean, Seth... watch him. Make sure he doesn't move."

Melody recognized that voice, It was Roman. As he came over to her he took the shirt off his back again and gave it to her. Not a word was spoken between them. No words needed to be spoken. Roman only extended his hand down to help her up. She got up and looked at him for only a moment before breaking down again and pulling him into a hug. Roman then picked her up behind her legs and held her by her back as he carried her out of the bathroom. He could see Dean and Seth in the dark. They were pretty sure Mark was out and that he wasn't going anywhere so they came over to her and also wrapped their arms around her. The storm outside was still going on, but Melody wiped her eyes and could finally speak.

"How did you guys know I was in trouble? I thought you guys left?"

"We needed for people to think we left. We left, but we didn't let our eyes leave your house. When the power went out I wanted to go back then, but it was when I heard a window break that I left the SUV and came over as fast as I could. It took me about a minute to get to the back. No one could see the back because of the woods and the storm, but someone broke the glass so I came in the same way Mark did. Then when I got in I heard Mark, and I heard you screaming and pulled him off you. Dean and Seth weren't far behind, but I wanted to be the one to kick his ass first. He's not going anywhere. This time he got what he deserves."

Finally the roar of the wind became so loud that was when they realized it wasn't an ordinary storm. A tree branch came in through the already busted window and hit Melody in the head knocking her out and leaving a large cut in her forehead. That's when things started falling apart around them. Seth was the first one to yell something.

"Tornado!"

Then Dean yelled something.

"Oh Shit!"

Then Roman.

"Everybody duck down!"

They all ducked down and protected their heads as the house fell apart around them. Roman had Melody in his arms making sure to Shield her head from anything else that would fall on them. When it was all over they were all covered in a pile of bricks, everyone except for Melody. Roman had taken all of it for her. He looked up towards the sky and said only one thing.

"Don't you take her from me!"

Once the tornado passed everything was quiet for a minute until Roman heard slight moving in the distance. He was in a lot of pain himself, but besides the tree branch earlier nothing else hit Melody. He shook off all the bricks that were on him and he heard movement coming from somewhere else. He checked on Melody to make sure she was still breathing. She only suffered a blow to the head. He then went to check on his other Shield members.

"Dean! Seth! Are you guys alright?!"

Roman saw and hand come out of one of the piles of bricks. It was Dean. He had protected his head, but his back suffered most of the pain. He felt at his chin and saw blood.

"What the hell?! I always get cut on my chin!"

Roman helped Dean up and started looking for Seth. The tornado was gone and everything was dark except for a few strikes of lightning here and there, Dean looked over and thought he saw a body laying around

"Shit! Is that Seth over there?"

Dean and Roman went over to the body and when they removed all the bricks they saw blood everywhere and broken pieces of a table.

"No. It's that Son of a Bitch Mark! He's bleeding everywhere, and he's not breathing, he's dead. Rot in Hell you Son of a Bitch!"

"Ok then where's Seth?!"

Dean and Roman started calling out for Seth.

"I'm over here! Follow the sound of my voice. A bunch of bricks fell on my back and I can't move."

Dean and Roman found Seth when they saw his Shield boot.

"There he is!"

Dean and Roman then took the pile of bricks off Seth and helped him up.

They were in a lot of pain, but shook it off. They all then went back to Melody. Dean always kept something to stitch himself up with. After being cut open in past matches he learned how to stitch himself up. Roman took Melody in his arms.

"Hey Dean... do you still carry around that stitching kit with you?"

"Yeah, always."

"Ok because Melody has a big cut on her forehead."

"Is she ok besides that?"

"Yeah... because I Shielded her from everything else."

"Ok... I'll stitch her up first. Seth do you have any cuts anywhere?"

"Surprisingly no. I think I was buried under the most bricks though."

"Roman how about you?"

"Well bricks hurt, but I don't think I have any cuts anywhere."

"It's too dark out here. I need a light."

Seth grabs his phone.

"Here... my phone has a light."

Roman finds the spot where Melody's couch was, removed the bricks, picked up Melody and put her on her couch. He stood by her side and held her hand as Dean started putting stitches in her head. Seth came over to the other side of Roman and put a hand on his back. The storm for the most part was gone now and all that was left was a little bit of wind and light rain. Melody woke up when she felt the pain from the cut in her head being stitched up, Roman holding her hand and the rain hitting her face. They were all glad that she woke up, but as Melody looked around she realized that she wasn't in the hospital this time. She recognized that she was on her couch and realized what happened. She only closed her eyes as she felt Roman holding her hand, Dean stitching her up, and the rain hitting her face as the tears started rolling down her face she realized that everything was gone. Not just her house, but all of her hopes and dreams.
