Chapter Twenty-One: Someone Knows

Veronica Rollins Point of View

The time I had with Roman had flown by relatively quick much to my dislike but during that time I had received a call from Maverick saying he'd received the phone call from my local doctor here and had reviewed all the information sent and said that I could come up for my examination during RAW. I was grateful that I didn't have to fly up to Europe for Raw like Dean had or Like Roman had to come down here from the UK. Roman had an earlier flight than me so sadly I'd had to say good bye to him and give him a see you later hug.

The flight was peaceful and relaxing and so far I felt a whole lot better than I had originally felt. My bruises had no just about completely faded, the flesh was still tender when pressure was applied to it but it wasn't as painful as it used to be. The entire flight to New York left me some time to think and recall the night of Smackdown when I was seated there with Roman when Big Show called him out.

Smackdown so far had been really regular in terms of wrestling and all that, I was looking forward to seeing John Cena and Daniel Bryan teaming up against Tyson Kidd and Cesaro in a Champions vs Champions match. My interest had been peaked when Big Show's music began. I could feel the anger radiating off Roman like he was a solar flare as Big Show stood on the stage, near the car that he Chokeslammed Roman onto.

"What bullshit does he want to spout from his mouth now?" I wondered out aloud as the audience booed their disdain for the giant. He was speaking a bunch of shit as he talked about what he did to Roman on Raw. I winced watching the replay's between each description. The knee he hit to Roman's head was painful and I just closed my eyes watching the chokeslam again.

The replay had finished, Show was sitting on the top of the car with the mic in hand. I reached over to Roman and took his hand in mine, rubbing the pad of my thumb against the top of his hand as Show spoke, "You see, now I thought that chokeslam was gonna be it for Roman Reigns but I guess during the commercial break, what did he do, he got up again."

I felt Roman turn my hand so that he was holding it, giving it a gentle assuring squeeze. I looked at him and smiled as I watched the replay of him making his way to the back. I smiled listening to the commentary commending Roman on his resilience.

I glared at the screen as Show laughed, stupid, giant dickhead is what he is. Never liked him and never will, simple as that, "Yea, Roman made it to the back, stumbling, bumbling all over the place, just like someone from England looking for a toothbrush. Cant find one anywhere." I rolled my eyes and resisted the urge to message the dickhead and tell him to take his own giant toothbrush and shove it up his ass.

"I wish I was there to kick his teeth in right now." Roman growled; I could visibly see how tense he was by Show's mocking attitude as I ushered him to sit on the floor between my legs which he did without hesitation. My hands instantly went to working his bulky shoulders as the Audience booed Big Show loudly. I worked my fingers into Roman's tense shoulders, trying to relax and distract him.

"You see, I could have finished Roman Reigns off right there," Show said, I could feel Roman tensing even more as I worked my fingers into his neck to relax him, threading my fingers through his hair and massaging his scalp to try and relax the angry Samoan who looked ready to blow a gasket the longer the Big Show spoke, "but I didn't because I chose not to. Cause I do things when I want to. I went to the Authority and I've asked the Authority for something and they granted it to me."

This peaked both mine and Roman's interest as we watched the promo. I already had a clear idea of what it may or may not be but I chose not to voice as I wanted to see if I was right. The entire time Big Show had been mentioning how Roman kept getting up, even after the choke slam, Roman stood up and walked on his own. I knew Show wanted a match against Roman and judging by what he was saying, there was only one type of match stipulation that could relate to his words, maybe two but there was a clear one and I knew exactly which one it was if he was going the way I was thinking he might go.

"At Extreme Rules, I will face Roman Reigns in a Last," He stood up on the front of the car and finished the match stipulation that I knew was coming, "Man Standing Match. And when I am done with Roman Reigns, he won't be the last man standing. Respect that."

"He did not," I scoffed, the idiot. He just mocked Roman's catchphrase, using partial gimmick infringement and I knew it pissed Roman right off. "I take it that there is no way in saying that you shouldn't do it, not after that."

"I'm gonna break his balls baby girl, that's a promise." I smiled at him as I got his head to rest against my legs and continued to massage his scalp. I chuckled at the groan that left his throat, obviously enjoying it judging by the pleasurable, relaced features of his face as his eyes were closed. He had craned his neck back further so I could relax him further.

"Bury him for me please." I say with an impish grin which gets Roman to smirk as I continue to massage his temples, making his facial features soften and become completely tension free.

"I'm gonna bury him just for you baby girl, literally and figuratively. Believe that." That was more than I could have asked for.

I really enjoyed spending quality time with Roman. It was more than I could have asked for and it was really a bonding experience. I really had been so confused and hurt by everything but Roman had given me some form of clarity to everything, including my developing feelings towards Dean. Slowly but surely I had come to accept them and believe that they were becoming real strong but I couldn't let them corrupt my duties.

Today I couldn't think about that, today I was going for my check-up with Maverick and would be allowed to start travelling with the roster again which is what I was grateful for. I probably wouldn't be allowed to appear as of yet but I was still grateful to no longer be cooped up in my lonely little apartment watching Netflix and playing games by myself. As much as I loved gaming it wasn't as fun as if you played with someone and had some friendly wagers like I'd had with both Dean and Roman.

I had messaged Maverick to alert him of my near arrival at the Times Union Center. My cab drive had been fairly pleasant and the sight of the building where Raw was being hosted made me smile. I spotted Maverick waiting by some security guards, ready for tonight's long night that would most likely have a couple of injuries for him and the rest of the trainers to tend to. He had a bright smile on his face when he spotted me climbing out the cab.

Over the time I was away, I had actually made a new friend in Maverick. Ever since I helped him out with Dean, we'd kind of connected and he had been phoning in and checking on me often. He had actually assigned himself as the trainer to do my exam when I arrived and truthfully, I wouldn't want anyone else. I trusted him and with him being a constant, I didn't feel so long like I did before AJ and I became friends.

"You've lost your skunk chunk, Rollins." He remarked playfully as I approached him, pulling my bag along with my gym bag in hand. "Honest opinion, you look so much better without it."

I had noticed that I had indeed lost my bleached blonde and quite frankly I didn't want to put it back in. I missed having my natural hair tone. I had gone as far to recolor it back to my dark chocolate that my hair was. "Thanks Mav." I said as he took my suitcase so I could shoulder my gym bag and satchel comfortably as we walked into the building.

A lot of the tech crew welcomed me back, some even approaching me and asking me how I was doing after what happened with Brock. It was nice, and of course as expected, I got a couple of looks from some superstars that I walked past. A few were surprised by my appearance, obviously not expecting me to be back so soon as Maverick led me to the trainer's room where I could be examined.

I got a smile from Doctor Sampson who was in the room when we entered. "Veronica, good to see you back and looking a lot better than when we wheeled you outta here." He remarked as I sat on the table and lifted off my shirt. I had come in a simple Day to remember shirt and a pair of shorts with a sports bra underneath my top so they could examine my ribs. "Well the bruising has certainly almost completely gone away." He noted as he approached me with Maverick coming up next to him.

"How's the neck and headaches." Maverick asked as Sampson raised my arms to poke and prod at my ribs. I didn't mind Sampson, him and Maverick were the only ones I really wanted to examine me and Sampson was the senior medical officer so he had to be present when Maverick examined me.

"I have the occasional headache but it's nothing constant or really long lasting. My neck is a little tender when I stretch it." I winced when Sampson poked the spot that still had a slight discoloration from my bruised rib. I gulped as I continued to speak, "The doctor took me off my pain medicine because he was happy but he still prescribed the cream for my bruising and to help with my ribs which don't hurt as much anymore," I bit my lip when he prodded the same area again, "but it's still a little tender."

Sampson nodded as he moved to the side and let Maverick have a good look. The door opened and much to my surprise, Seth walked in looking as casual as ever, like the big brother I knew was underneath the leather gear and suits he wore for the Authority. His eyes widened in surprise as smile broke out on his face. "Well look what the cat dragged in." He said with a chuckle as I took in his appearance.

It had been a long time since I had seen Seth dressed in a pair of tracksuit pants, a baggy shirt that looked identical to the one I was wearing and a beanie on his head with his nerd glasses which I referred to them as resting on the bridge of his nose. "Hey brother dear of mine." I said with a grin as he approached me and messed the top of my head, "Don't do that. You'll give me a headache and I've already had enough of those to last me a lifetime." I complained as I swatted his hand away from my head.

"Alright." He said with a chuckle as he looked over at Sampson as Maverick went to examine me. "So what's the verdict doc. Am I gonna have my valet back tonight or what?"

After what felt like hours of constant poking and prodding and silence Maverick pulled away and shook his head, "Not tonight sadly. Her ribs are still tender but have healed quite well but I don't wanna risk anything with Randy going around the way he is. He's unpredictable and looking at the way she is sensitive to the light," he said in reference to the blinding light that he was shinning in my eyes to test them, "There is still a minor concussion so the headaches will be aggravated by the lights so five days maximum."

"I agree." Sampson said. He had this proud papa kind of look in his eyes as he looked at Maverick.

"So does that mean that I can come back at Extreme Rules?" I ask in a hopeful tone, noticing the way my brother starts to smile hopefully.

"Most definitely." Maverick said with a grin.

"Awesome." My brother cheered, causing me to laugh at that. I guess he missed me more than I thought. After the fallout over the phone, with Dean… he'd phoned me a handful of times and texted me, checking up on me. I caught Dean a number of times looking seriously pissed off, Roman as well but they remained quiet which I was grateful for. They respected what I wanted and left me be because they knew whatever happened between me and my brother wasn't their concern... for now at least.

I did have both Dean and Roman both swear that if he laid a finger on me again that they were going to go after him. Roman was calmer about it but Dean swear he would fuck him up and go all lunatic on his ass and quite honestly... I believe him.

I quickly pushed those thoughts aside when the door opened and Joey and Jamie walked in, dressed ready for the show. Jamie was surprised when he saw me and Joey instantly looked away from me. I in that moment realized I was in my bra and blushed as Seth looked at the two of them with annoyance. "Sorry, didn't know you were in here." Joey apologized as he turned round, forcing Noble to do the same.

I quickly slipped back on and glanced at Seth who had his face in his hand, groaning at the idiocy of the two. "Next time, please knock. Now what do you want?"

"We got the schedule for the show," Mercury said as he turned round, relieved that I was covered up now and only then did I notice the papers in his hand. "Orton's going to be opening." He said as he handed the paper to Seth whilst Noble glared at me and I glared right back at him.

"Little Rollins." He said with slight annoyance, causing me to squint/glare at him in an intimidating manor.

"Shrilly Creampuff." I said in acknowledgement, smirking at how annoyed he looked at the nickname. I looked over to my brother who was looking through the pages handed to him before he handed them over to me. I raised an eyebrow as I examined the first page, "Orton is opening with a promo?"

"Yep." Noble said in that shrilly voice of his.

Seth was conversing with Noble and Mercury as I continued to look through the schedule, noticing that Triple H is scheduled to be here tonight and that Roman requested time to cut a promo as well but the main thing I examine in the match list.

Dean Ambrose vs Luke Harper.
The New Day vs Lucha Dragons (To determine the number one contender for the Tag Team Championships).
Fandango vs Curtis Axel.
Naomi vs Brie Bella.
Zack Ryder vs Sheamus.
John Cena issues his United States Open Challenge.
Damien Mizdow vs The Miz (Winner gets to keep "The Miz" Brand.
Adam Rose vs Ryback
No closing match scheduled as of yet

But knowing that Triple H was here, I have a feeling that there is going to be another match that may or may not concern my brother and the match he was supposed to have against Dolph Ziggler. But that wasn't what caught my eye. It was Dean going up against Luke Harper that caught my attention and really annoyed me that he decided to keep it from me. I was gonna rip him a new one for being so stupid and forgetting to mention this to me over the phone.

"Alright well since Veronica is here and Randy is running a muck all around, she will stay in the locker room tonight, away from attention and cameras." Seth said calmly, bringing me right out of my internally pissed off musings. I raised an eyebrow at my brother.

"Wouldn't it be safer if I just went and stayed at the hotel tonight?" I inquired, causing my brother to look at me. "Randy's pissed at you and so is Kane. They would just go shitty pissed seeing me."

Maverick gave me a look saying he agreed with me but Seth rolled his eyes and just ran his up and down his neck "Kane won't touch you or me since Hunter is here and I'd much rather have you here tonight cause I can keep an eye on you and Jamie and Joey are here." Seth said firmly, completely shutting down any argument I may have had, and I just groaned, wishing Seth would realise how useless these two were at times but I just said nothing and nodded in understanding.

"Alright. I'll stay in the locker room as long as I get fed and the key to lock the door. You can keep Shrilly and Mercury cause you'll need them to protect you from Kane cause apparently he is pissed off as hell from what Maverick and Sampson have told me." Those were my conditions, they were reasonable enough, "And I'm allowed in the catering if I want."

"Fair enough." My brother said as he pulled off his nerd glasses and hooked them in the collar of his shirt and removed his beanie, freeing his messy curls, his skunk chunk (AJ's Nickname for our blonde patches since I no longer had mine) not as present as it used to be. I hadn't actually noticed it on television but with his hair dry, it was covering under a quarter of the side of his head when it used to be half white and half black. If anything his hair was looking like a mixture of three colours as his natural brown was starting to show.

I was a bit floored at the sight of my brother, the man I saw the night I was concussed by the Beast to the man I see now, the difference was so much. Usually around the building he never wore his glasses or his beanie or looked like the geeky nerd I always knew to be my brother. This was the man who I grew up with, this was a sign that my brother was still in there since he hadn't felt the need to redye or add to his colour. That is what defined Seth Rollins onscreen but this was my brother.

"Don't intentionally piss people off tonight Seth. I've hated seeing that." I admitted as we embraced in a warm hug, full of warmth and familiarity.

"No promises." He said with a chuckle before he pulled away and ruffled my hair. "Gotta train kiddo. It's easy to find my locker room. These guys know where it is." Seth said, pointing at Mercury and Noble.

"I'll show her where it is. Don't want these two," Mercury said looking between me and Noble, the two of us locked in a deep glare battle. He'd been scoffing at me and rolling his eyes and I was still pretty pissed off about the shit he said to me over the phone the last time I talked to him and Mercury was there. But he had been giving me this look, as if saying he knew I was hiding something and it just pissed me off that he was scrutinizing me, "butting heads the entire time sir. So Jamie will go with you and I will help Veronica get her things to the locker room."

"Fair enough. All gotta be on the same page." Seth nodded in agreement with Mercury who was usually the quiet one of the pair. "Come on Jamie, let's get movin." Seth said, urging the tiny turd to follow. I smirked when he broke out locked gazes, victorious in this battle as he walked away looking like a pissed off elf that just made me snicker. If he wasn't such a winey bitch I would admit that he looked cute when pissed off cause his face went bright red and his eyes scrunched up in the funniest way and I got a kick out of pissing him off.

"Sorry about Jamie." Mercury apologized as he grabbed one of my bags for me and allowed me to exit the room first after I had said good bye to Maverick and Sampson.

"You don't need to apologize on his behalf." I said softly, as I have said before the only one of the Authority I actually like was Joey Mercury. I have a newfound respect for Kane, utterly hate Big Show, and do not like Stephanie or Triple H but I will never say it out loud. Out of all of them, he was alright. "Thank you for being nice to me though. It's nice to be welcomed back with open arms though."

"Well after what you did, protecting Seth and taking those moves like a pro, I've got a new found respect for you and unlike Jamie, my ego wasn't bruised like his was because you stood up to the beast incarnate and swatted Randy Orton with a briefcase without any fear whatsoever." Joey said with a chuckle as he came to a halt in front of the door.

"You're very talkative." I said with a laugh as I waited for Joey to open the door. When it was, I walked into the room, smiling the long couch that seated at least three people, at least he knew I'd be comfortable in here.

All Mercury did was shrug as he patted my shoulder, "Take care of yourself Veronica and keep an eye out. We'll take care of Seth." I nod in understanding as he walked out, closing the door behind him and I plop down on the couch and groan as I pull out my phone and search through my contacts, visibly pissed off with Dean as I type him a message.

You really didn't think I would find out. If I see you Dean, I'm going to swat you upside the head. – Veronica

It didn't take long for the reply to come through.

I know, I know. I'm in the doghouse. I know. If I promise to be careful will it make you feel better kiddo. – DA

I roll my eyes as I continued to type him a message a smile on my face; my subconscious smiling along with me, watching me over my shoulder.

Hours later

Its safe to say that tonight's RAW had been pretty eventful; well the opening segment was interesting. The impending promise of Seth getting re-acquainted once again with Randall Keith Orton, more commonly known as the RKO and the promise of Randy RKO'ing every son-of-a-bitch he sees just seemed to make things amusing. The first match, being Dean vs Luke Harper had ended in a No Contest between the two of them and of course, Dean was pissed that Harper got away.

He had been telling me for quite a whole over message how pissed off he was. We didn't want to risk anyone finding him in the locker room with me even though it was relatively safe. And of course things were heating up between Kane and Seth since Kane had been made the gatekeeper of the cell and of course Hunter gave Seth encouraging words that seemed to have Seth a little rattled.

I had grown ravenous by the time it was time for Naomi's match against Brie Bella so I braved the walk to the catering, just smiling at how relaxed I felt this evening. When I rounded the corner, I found Kane speaking to a cameraman and froze. The last time I had seen the man was... wow, I actually cant recall the last time I encountered him by myself because I hadn't seen him during Wrestlemania week or the week before. Last time he and I encountered each other was the day Dean came to see me in the locker room and I hid him.

Before I could back peddle, Kane turned his head and noticed me, his eyes widening in slight surprise as he shoed the cameraman alng. I took a deep breath and approached the man, I couldn't be rude and act like I didn't see him when I had been standing there, watching him for a good two minutes. I smiled a small smile and said, "Hello Kane."

"Veronica? I didn't know you were back." His voice was calm and collected although I heard the slight surprise in his voice as I stopped in front of him.

"I came for a check-up and Seth wanted me to stick around even though I'm not medically cleared yet." I answered, unable to stop the nervous fiddling of my hands. I hadn't realised how uncomfortable I felt in the presence of this intimidating me whom had plagued my darkest nightmares. "Listen, I know you and I aren't friends or anything but I just wanted to apologize for what Seth said and made you do. He shouldn't have done that. It wasn't fare to you." I didn't want to say because I didn't want to see Kane's reaction. I was already terrified as is, I didn't want to give myself a new terrifying reminder of why this man scares me.

He frowns but nods, his expression turning stoic.

"I don't know if I am speaking out of turn but I just want to say that no matter what everyone says, what you did, what you sacrificed, it was admirable and I have lost no respect for you because I know my brother and truth be told, I don't know how you held off not doing that for so long." He already suspected me of not being fully fledged and dedicated like he was to the Authority.

"It... it wasn't easy." Kane admitted in a mumble, "I surprised myself at how long I held off doing that."

"It took a lot of strength and control to not react but he crossed the line and I am sorry he did that." I poured every ounce of sincerity I had to let him know that I well and truly meant what I was saying. "I respect the hell out of you Kane, differences aside you are an inspiration." Which in all honestly was the truth, "Watching WWE growing up, I admired the hell out of you and I still do and I am sorry that my brother doesn't show at times the respect you deserve."

I smiled at him as I weaved my way around him but stopped when his hand wrapped around my wrist, causing me to freeze on the spot but I didn't let it show as I turned and met his gaze, "You may be his sister but you two are nothing alike. Unlike him, you aren't afraid of much except me but even now, you don't seem so scared anymore." He observed before he let out a smile, "You may not be as bad as I thought you were." He said more to himself than me quietly and with that, he released my wrist and walked away, leaving me baffled and in shock.

I didn't know what this meant but I was hopeful for the future. Things were looking up. Kane and I had mutual respect for one another. He may not of said it directly but he implied it heavily when he said unlike my brother I'm not afraid of much but I was afraid of him but like he said, I was starting to not be as scared of him anymore. I smiled and let out a calm breath as I made my way to catering. There was a good number of superstars gathered there. I could see Slater, the Rosebuds, Rowan were the ones who stood up. I walked up to the line where some crew were who asked if I was okay after the incident with Brock and I was genuinely surprised by the concern since AJ had shown the same kind of concern in the hospital when I woke up.

I had grabbed a sandwich and a bottle of water when I turned round and saw Rowan get up and leave Slater by himself. I couldn't hear what Heath was saying but he turned round and I let out a scream , my open bottle of water dropping to the floor, along with my sandwich when Randy appeared out of nowhere and RKO'd Heath through the table. Randy was instantly up on his feet. I noticed the cameraman there and I realised I was in the picture.

Randy had causally picked up a chip and started counting on his fingers before saying, "That makes three." Before he turned round and his gaze immediately landed on me, causing me to freeze. Randy smirked as he walked towards me but thankfully a stage hand came and stood in front of me.

I felt instant relief as the stage hand whispered to me, "A friend asked me to keep an eye on you." He whispered as he ushered away from the room, Randy's gaze lingering on me as I was escorted away from the scene, my hunger and thirst long forgotten.

I was thankful to be back in Seth's locker room and I flopped down on the couch and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a much needed breath that I hadn't known I had been holding in as the door closed and the stage hand walked in. "Thank you for the help."

"It's no problem, Phoenix." He said casually but my heart stopped, my eyes widening in realisation. I knew that voice, I knew that name. Only once in the recent weeks had I been referred to as Phoenix and it was by the very same man who had calmed the Viper when he wished to strike me down again.

I looked up and saw the stagehand remove his cap, revealing the non-painted face of the Vigilante, Sting. He looked so different without his face paint but I still recognised him. "What are you doing here?" I stuttered through my entire sentence, shock coursing through my body as I watched him take a seat on the bench in front of me.

"I'm here to talk, nothing more so you don't have to be afraid." He assured me. Even though this man wasn't in his wrestling attire, I still didn't trust him as far as I could throw him and that was putting it likely. Without the face paint he was just as intimidating as his in ring persona.

"What could you want to talk to me about?" I tried to but up a brave front as I watched his calculated movements, the stoic expression he wore in the ring never leaving his face.

"I find myself growing more and more curious each time I see you Miss Rollins." He let a small smile before he continued, "The more I observe the more I find myself wondering the truth behind you motives. Wondering what goes through that pretty little mind of yours when you are laughing and smiling with Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns behind your brother's back."

I froze, looking up at him in pure shock. Some may have considered my expression comical because my eyes were bugging out, my jaw pooling in my lap. How did he know? I didn't have time to think, I just gained my bearings and chuckled, "That's a hilarious. You could be a comedian you know."

His expression remained the same as his lip quirked up on the side as he spoke, "Veronica, you can pull wool of everyone's eyes but not mine." He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone and flicked his finger across the screen as he spoke, "I've been watching you since the RAW Mr. Orton and I teamed up. I happened to be in the area of your lovely home on several occasions where I saw Mr. Ambrose and Mr. Reigns in your presence and I have the proof if you wish."

He offered out his phone to me and I looked at it warily before I hesitantly took it from him and looked down at the screen. In an instant my eyes widened as did my subconscious, staring down at the picture of Dean and I wrapped in a heavily emotional embrace. That was the day he surprised me at home. I flicked my finger across the screen and saw the next image was of Roman standing in front of me, his hand caressing my cheek and looking into my eyes.

"You have nothing to fear Miss Rollins. I am on your side." He assured me but I was hesitant as I looked up at him.

"What do you want from me?" I asked, my voice was hoarse and gripped with fear.

He smiled calmly, "I want you on the right side of this war." I looked up at him, silence gripping me as he spoke, "For far too long the Authority has enslaved the WWE. Vince McMahon has no control over them. The Authority does what they believe is best for business. Mr. Orton believed in their cause once upon a time but the moment he was replaced he realised that were the poison of the company, not the saviours."

"But what does this have to do with me?" I pleaded, confused as to why this man has gone through so much lengths to speak with me.

"Daniel Bryan inspired a rebellion that became the trigger effect for the greatest and most dominant faction this company has ever seen. The Sheild were on the track to rectifying the wrongs that the Authority had brought to this company but it wasn't Daniel alone that caused them to turn their backs and realise which was the right side." I was shocked clearly by his words, "You were the one who always questioned their actions but because you were Seth's sister, the Authority could not touch you. You were the one who opened their eyes to the truth."

"I don't understand what you are saying." I was in all honesty confused by what he was saying, I didn't know what to make of this man.

"You are the one person who can create a rippling domino effect, set off a chain of events that will alter the course of multiple individuals in this company." He was confident as he spoke, "I know you are torn between what to do. You were issued a ultimatum, Your brothers or your brother. I am here to tell you the reason I didn't allow the Viper to dig his fangs into you."

Now that had me curious, I honestly didn't know what Sting's reasons were for preventing the Viper from harming me. It had been bugging me for quite some time and now there was a chance to finally get the answers I required.

"I have been watching you for a lot longer than I admitted and Randy has opened my eyes to exactly what the Authority do to someone who defies them." My eyes widened, I knew exactly what he was referring to. "Its not what your brother has done to you. That is why I am here, to make you realise that you are backing the wrong horse. You are conflicted but in your heart you know which side you need to be on. You know which side you would much rather be on."

"You don't know anything about me or my reasons as to why I stay with the Authority." I challenged, anger hitting me in waves from his insinuations and his words.

"Unlike Ambrose or Reigns, I understand why."

"You understand nothing." I growled, shoving his phone back in his hands as I stand up and march over towards the door.

"You still believe you can save your brother." I freeze with my hand on the door knob as I turn and look at Sting in surprise. He hasn't moved from his place. "You still see the person who he once was when he was with the Shield. You believe that beneath the Authority's rules and wants, he is still in there and you want to bring him back. With every beating you receive, every punishment, he comes and apologizes because he is still there, well you hope he still is."

"How would you know that?" I ask breathlessly.

He lets the corner of his mouth quirk up but it vanishes when he stands up and speaks, "You have a choice to make Veronica. You may believe your brother is still there but he is slipping out of your grasp. You may not realize it but you have chosen Dean and Roman. You defy every rule without hesitation. Helping Mark Henry after the Authority attacked him. Trying to stop your brother cashing in. Lying about who tried to steal the briefcase a second time. Your mind hasn't decided but your heart has."

I looked at him, truly floored by everything he is saying as he looks towards the television and my eyes follow his gaze and see that Kane is storming out to the ring and Seth is getting people to lower the steel cage.

"Your words sparked something in Kane. You are making an ally out of him. In the future you might want to use that to your advantage. Having the Demon and Corporate Kane on your side is a blessing." He turned and walked up to me, smiling, "You might want to be prepared cause your brother is getting a healthy dose of reality. He thinks he's a God, well Randy is about to bring him back down to Earth."

He slips his cap on and leaves the room but my eyes are trained on the television, watching Randy practically rip Seth off the side of the cage and RKO him like he did at Wrestlemania, bringing him off his high pedestal back down to Earth. I feel this odd sense of gratefulness but this feeling of worry. I am well and truly worried now, completely torn and unsure of what Sting truly meant.

I don't know what to do. I'm torn but one thing I do know is that another person knows my secrets and I didn't know if they would be my enemy or my friend.

KDOH: Well everyone what a chapter that was to write. So many elements and a hell of a lot of drafting and redrafting before I ended up with this and it was hard with the amount of homework. So Sting has made an appearance, and within the blink of eye he has made Veronica more confused than she already was. What will the future hold, what will the next chapter bring. I am sorry this was a little late, hectic schedule, work, school, tests and being sick with migraines. Its a stressful life, especially when you get a new teacher who starts teaching you from the beginning again and you have big exams this year and don't know if you're going to be ready in time for them. Its life, what can you do. Gotta run, gotta study for a test for tomorrow yet again, see you in two, maybe three weeks. Also, we made it over three hundred reviews, that's awesome. Love you guys, you are awesome. I gotta say i was a little disappointed by the Rumble match itself, no Samoa Joe, No Finn Balor, there were some awesome people they could have put but the 'surprise entrants' were weak. They hyped it well and then it fell flat and as much as I love Roman, i was confused by his entry. But i freakin popped big time when Tye Dillinger came, i predicted it and it was predictable that they were gonna do it but i still loved it. I found Royal Rumble enjoyable though apart from the actual rumble match, everything was good, especially the two championship matches. Hopefully RAW tonight will sort out some of the confusion I have. Anyway, gotta run, lots of homework.
