(A\N-Hey guys, I apologize for the long wait, so I will do the double chapter format this time around. I will also include the songs that influenced the chapter. Enjoy! Note-I will write these chapters as if kayfabe were real. This chapters basically wrote themselves -I hope you enjoy! I only own my OC.)

Chapter 29

(Hallie's point of view, A Week before the show-in Chris's and Hallie's private locker room)-It was the week for the Night of Champions pay per view, and I hadn't felt this anxious for a very long time. Chris and I go to the arena in Tampa in silence, which is very unlike us. We arrive at the arena, and I say, "Chris, What's wrong?' At the moment he started to speak, both of our mobile phones signal incoming emails. I knew that couldn't be good, considering the emails are both from unknown senders-that definitely raises a red flag to me and Chris is practically the same way too-only he wants me to stay in his locker room tonight, which will be locked for my protection. "But Chris, You know as well as I do that I can protect myself-May I remind you of the training I have received since coming here?" He sighs, knowing I am right saying-"Just be careful tonight." I nodded, and check my droid for the email and read it in full detail.

(Around the corner, Seth's point of view)- I had entered the locker room and was getting suited up like usual, when Dean asks, "Have you heard if Hallie has received the email from us?" I shrug and say, "I'll check when Chris leaves his locker room, I have a feeling Hallie will still be their due to the fact her segment isn't until an hour or so. Dean flashes that smirk of his and says, "Good-In an hour all will be revealed."

(Chris's point of View)- I was in catering grabbing myself a bottle of water and a fruit bowl when I had a change of heart, and I decided to let Hallie come manage me in my match with Dolph Ziggler. I texted her and she accepted my offer, which meant she wasn't mad at me (or so I think). But I couldn't help but remember those random emails we had received earlier today. I headed to Guerrilla and discovered that Hallie was already waiting on me. I link my arm with hers and we head out to the ring after Dolph's entrance had finished.

(Hallie's point of view)-I was currently cheering on Chris as he was trying to get Dolph into his version of the Hart family's Sharpshooter. I was really proud of Chris, as I see the ref(John Cone), sees that Dolph tapped out. When Lillian is about to announce a victory for Chris, She and I both hear, 'Sierra, Hotel, India, Echo, Lima, Delta." I noticed that Dolph manages to get out of the ring as Seth puts his microphone to his lips, my heart is thumping out of my chest and I have a really bad feeling about this. Seth looks straight at me and says, "Do you remember the email you got this afternoon?" My hand forces upwards towards my mouth to cover it as I began to realize how cryptic the message was. I look over towards Chris and his eyes are still wide. Then, Roman speaks up and says, "Come with us Hallie, It will be easier." I breathe and say, "How can I believe you?"

I immediately am whisked to the back and told to put a black shirt on-I comply immediately and change out of my wrestling boots into my causal converses and touch the necklace that I had bought for myself that week we were all in Charleston for Be A Star. My memory flashes back to when I was finally able to come back and just be myself again. When I force myself to look up again, I see Bray Wyatt standing in the middle of the hallway that leads to the locker room and he says, "You look a lot like Sister Abigail." I am in a daze at this point, and then I listen to my instinct and it's telling me to run, but I know that Seth would help me, wouldn't he?

(Chris's point of view)-I should have known not to let her go out there with me because now the Shield's kidnapped her and I am concerned about her safety. But I knew that I have to do something, because besides Cody and Nattie she trusts me. I decided to call Nattie and see if she's seen the match. I also knew that in fifteen minutes that Hallie would be doing her promo. I walk towards the divas locker room area, and learn that Hallie's gone to perform her promo. I quickly turn the channel and see Bray Wyatt talking to Hallie. But I remember that I had to trust her.

(Hallie's point of view)-I definitely saw a threat in Bray, so I decided to stay clear of him. I finished my promo and returned to the locker room without incident. I decided since I didn't have to do other matches/promos, I'd treat myself and watch some movies. It would be a welcome reality break-until I hear my phone ring. I didn't actually hear my phone ring until it had gone to voicemail. I was anticipating a call from my trainer any day now, so I quickly check my voicemail and it was her, she had wanted to see me. I decided that I would shoot Booker T a quick email, because he was my boss since I mainly worked for the Smackdown brand primarily. I also made sure the email was also sent to Hunter and Stephanie. I was actually more excited to ride, then to be in the Night of Champions PPV, and I knew it was because of the storyline I was currently in. After I receive the okay, I immediately make plans to be able to ride. I make the plans with my trainer to be able to ride for at least two weeks. I know that riding is cathartic, and I'd be able to get away from everything that's going on-I just know that I am not going to post anything to my twitter so that no one knows I am gone. I got to the airport, few people recognize me and I do an autograph session like normal. After about eight hours, I arrive in Columbia. I decide to make reservations at a hotel for the night and then head to Aiken the next morning. I want to update my fans, but I know that the others would totally be suspicious if I didn't post anything at all-though I decided not to post anything for two solid weeks, because I didn't want Bray or anyone else on my trail. I decided to go ahead and read the NOC script before I went to bed. My heart skipped a beat as I read the last page of the match script. I immediately text both Chris and Seth-then I let a stray tear grace my face. I decide that in the morning, I would go and ride to clear my head-but I certainly needed that after reading that. I pull out my phone and call Chris, because I needed to know if he's mad at me-and if there's anyway our relationship can be salvaged. Chris calls me and we talk things over, he planned to be in Aiken on Saturday.

Chapter 30-Aftermath

(Seth's point of view)-It was the weekend before the Night Of Champions pay per view and we were all asked to take the weekend off so that we wouldn't risk any extra injuries during the pay per view. As I arrive at my rented apartment in Tampa, I decided to go ahead and review the match part of the script. But then I receive a text from Hallie-asking if I had read the third page of the match script. I told her no, but quickly thumb to that page. I now realize why she had texted me, We were to win, and she was to become one of us-and she was to have a storyline with Roman, doing a slightly storyline similar to Kane and Lita's old one.

(Chris's point of view)-I heard my phone ring, and I had just finished reading the script and I decided to answer my phone-figuring it would be Hallie and I knew I could calm her down better than anyone.

(Roman's point of view)-Seth had called me and asked if he would read the last page of our script, so I do immediately because I had a feeling that our storyline would change-but not this drastically. I instantly feel a pang of guilt rise up in my chest, I can't begin to imagine how Hallie feels right now-no wonder she asked for the weekend off.

(Hallie's point of view, the next morning)-Before I departed for Aiken, I decided that I would go visit both of my parents at their respective work places and since I was already in the downtown area, I would visit my father first. I reach the office building and smile to myself-hoping my dad would be surprised to see me. Knowing I didn't see him very often, left a pang of longing and normalcy in my chest-but he knew I've wanted this opportunity for so long and I also knew he worries about me more, but at least I have a steady pay check-something I couldn't always count on in the rodeo circuit. I nod towards the security guard, who gives me a visitor's badge-before I leave, I ask where my dad's office is-because it's a relatively new building and he tells me to go to the fourth floor. I enter the elevator and press the button that gets me to the floor. I adjust my fingerless gloves which are a part of my ring gear-I am also wearing the shield shirt that was specifically made/fit for me. As for my shoes, I am wearing my light pink converses that were originally AJ's but she accidentally got the wrong size and couldn't return them due to the fact we were all in Greenville(then heading to Seattle), and she knew how much I loved that brand of shoe for casual wear. As I get off of the elevator, I go to the third door and knock. After a moment, I hear my dad telling me to come in-so I do. He is looking through some papers and then his eyes look up at me and he says with a smile and that familiar voice, "When did you get here, Princess"? Then he pulls me into the tightest hugs I have had, and I say jokingly-"Dad, you're crushing me". I sit at the other chair next to my dad's desk and he sits down in a black padded office chair. He asks me about work, and I knew that he'd not been able to watch the show due to scheduling conflicts. I get my IPad out of my bag, and after I get internet-I pull up the full length episode of Raw. Thirty minutes later, he inquires about my segment and I try to explain as much as I can, trying not to give anything away due to the fact that prying co-workers are around-and I am unsure if they are wrestling fans or not. After a while, my dad decides to take me to lunch and I accept without hesitation. A couple hours later, I arrive at my mothers workplace, and I am glad that for the first time in my life, I have managed to make my parents happy. I finally am able to drive to Aiken so that I can visit the barn, and catch up with my trainer. I exit my car when I arrive at the barn, and that's when I realize-maybe I am just overreacting about Night of Champions. Knowing that I couldn't catch a flight to Canada, since the airport doesn't offer flights to Canada-I have to go to Tampa early anyway to visit Natalya , and then from there we'd go on to Denver.

(About ten hours later)-We had finally landed, but I could barely hold my head up-as I go to baggage claim, I see Seth waiting on me. My mind was full of questions, but I was too tired to ask them. The last thing I remember is Seth taking my duffle and urging me to get to his car.

(Seth's point of view)-I had heard from Jon that Hallie was to be arriving in Florida tonight, and I knew why. She wanted to go over the script, because she was scared something wasn't going to go according to plan-and she was concerned. I can't say I blame her, and I was secretly jealous of the impending storyline she had with Roman. I knew she and I got along great and I protected her when she needed it most. As I approach a four way stop, I look at her sleeping form in my backseat and smile.

(Hallie's point of view)-I knew that there had been tension between Seth and Chris and Roman. I secretly knew why, Chris didn't exactly get along with Roman and the fact that he kidnapped me didn't help matters. As for Seth, he was more protective for me in a big brother sort of way-(not that I have experienced that protectiveness because I am an only child). I felt the car stop, and Seth lifting me on to a bed, and me mumbling "I am Cold" I felt a blanket under me and then moments later, I felt Seth entering the bed, I felt guilty for taking his only bed. I wake up as soon as I see sunlight filtering through the curtains. I glance around the room and when I feel a pair of arms holding me, I accidentally let out a small gasp. I realize that Seth's hold on me as he sleeps...I gently pull the covers back and see that we are both fully clothed which makes me sigh in relief. I somehow manage to wiggle carefully out of his grasp and I enter the kitchen, and my stomach growls with hunger when I spot a box of Belgian waffles in Seth's freezer. I get the box, and pop two in the toaster. After I got my waffles to the desired doneness, I get a glass of orange juice and say a quick prayer softly so I don't wake Seth up. He sleeps for around two hours, and then I decided to wake him up, but when I turned the corner-I sneezed and my head begins to throb. By now, Seth was wide awake and in his medicine cabinet. I silently retreated to living room and I lay down on the couch. I immediately reach for my purse, and fumbled until I found the purse pack of tissues I'd stashed in there a while ago. I'd not planned on being sick the weekend of Night of Champions, Seth says I should tell Stephanie that I was really sick and that he'd vouch for me, considering it was Sunday-I probably won't be able to commentate depending if I lost my voice, but I'd still have to be at ringside. He handed me a spoon filled with cough medicine and I accepted it gratefully. A few hours later, I let the medication take effect and I hear a door close softly.

(Seth's point of view)-I found Stephanie's number and quickly dialed it. "Hallie?" She asks and I correct her, saying I was using her phone, because she wanted to let her know that she's sick and I tell her of the fever she's running but Hallie's stubborn and wants to be at ringside, but Stephanie wasn't having it. The next question she asks, I didn't have the answer for it-but I knew Hallie wanted to get the new storyline going as quickly as possible. I silently walk towards the living room where she is sleeping and I text Stephanie that both she and I will make the flight to Denver. I just hope that I can keep Hallie awake through the TSA checkpoint, but I relax when I remember that she only took half of the recommended dosage. When I know Hallie's comfortable, I go into my room and sleep for the rest of the night. Around 5:15, my alarm buzzed to life and I grabbed my luggage that I had washed and dried and then packed the night before. In twenty minutes, I'd wake up Hallie and we'd be on our way to Denver.

(Hallie's point of view)-I could feel Seth moving his luggage and I should probably be helping him with my own bags, though I had a leopard decorated one along with a pink(Victoria Secret one) that held my toiletries and assorted other items. In about twenty minutes later, we had arrived at the airport and started the boarding process. I knew beforehand that Joe and Jon as well as Chris had been in Denver for the night prior. When we finally got to the hotel, I was summoned to mine and Chris's locker room at the arena. I decided to go alone in my rental, and turned the radio to a Classic Rock station-when I heard a familiar intro as my eyes were threatened with tears. But then, I remember a dream where Seth and I take ballroom dancing lessons, and that cheers me up instantly. But I still remember the harsh attitude that Chris had with me on the phone, I didn't respect the way his tone was.

(Chris's point of view)-I was kicking myself mentally because of my attitude towards Hallie and I imagine when she gets here she'll be furious but I can't say as I blame her. I hear a knock and I think it's Hallie. I let her in and the first I see is her reddened face as if she'd been fighting a fever all night. I look up at her quizzically saying, "Does Stephanie know you're like this?" She sighs, and says after a coughing spell, "Seth's already informed Stephanie-but I am allowed at ringside." After a period of silence, she sits down on a chair next to a mirror, I apologize and say, "I am just really stressed out about this storyline-because you and I have been friends for so long." She smiles and says-(but before she does, she closes the door)-"You're included in this, you know?" I had to do a double take and ask her repeat herself-she says again, "You're included in this, you know?" She stays silent while I process everything-I wonder what she's thinking about.

(Hallie's point of View)-My mind flashes back to the last rodeo I'd ever take part in, and I will never forget that night because I had won first in the barrel racing pattern and my best friend as crowned rodeo queen, a title she'd been working hard for in her own right. Then, the next night I meet Booker T and the rest is history. I just wonder how Sunday's outcome is going to affect Chris and mine relationship-hopefully for the better and not for the worst.
