A/N: If interested in having an OC in the story, I put an app in at the bottom of the chapter! PM or Review!
It wasn't a real surprise when I got released from WWE, I guess. I had fell to the back of the line for the women's title and as more and more when began entering, I became forgotten about. I remember the countless hours I spent looking for a promotion to take me. I had dreamed to go to RoH, but they were not impressed with what I did in WWE at all. In the end, I ended up signing with an independent company named Shimmer.
After breaking up with Cody, I moved back in with my mom. By the time I signed with Shimmer, I had about two weeks before I started in which I slept, ate and cried my eyes out watching the Vampire Diaries. It was the night before I left for Florida and I sat in my room eating a bag of hot fries watching Elena rip Damon's heart out.
"Devin, dinner!" My mom called through the hallway.
"I'm good." I said.
"I made your favorite." She replied. I let out a sigh as I paused the show.
"I'm just going to order pizza." I said.
"Devin, get out her now." She said sternly. I grunted as I turned my TV off and threw my remote on my bed. I swung my door open and jogged down the carpeted stairs.
"Mom, really." I said. "I want to get some Bellinies before I fly out tomorrow.." My voice dropped off as I saw my older brother already seated at the table with a plate full of noodles. He looked up to me and smiled. "Get out." I grinned as I ran over to him. He stood up and caught me in a headlock.
"What's up Dev." He said rubbing a fist in my hair.
"When did you get here?" I asked as he released me and gave him a hug.
"This morning." He said. "If you weren't filling your face with chips and watching the vampire diaries, you would've noticed."
"Seth, be nice." My mom said. "Let's eat."
"I am starving." Seth said. "I haven't had a home cooked meal in months."
"Tell me about it." I said. "All I wanted when I was with WWE was to be home with a bowl of noodles and moms sauce." I said putting some noodles and sauce on my plate.
"Where are you off to now?" Seth asked as he took a bite out of a meatball.
"Shimmer." I said. "Hopefully I will be able to actually get some attention if it's all women." I rolled my eyes scooping noodles into my mouth.
"All women?" Seth grinned. "Sounds like my type of promotion."
"Don't be disgusting." I said pointing my fork at him. "I'm really hoping this is going to be reset for me."
"It will be Dev." Seth said. "This is the time to find yourself, your wrestling style. You're going to be at the top in no time."
"If you say so." I replied stabbing my noodles.
"You will be Devin. And you want to know why that is?" My mom said. I looked up at her. "Because you are a Rollins."
"You're right mom." I smiled at her.
Seth and my mom drove me to the airport the following morning. It was a hard goodbye, I hadn't seen my brother in I don't know how long. We were both on the road throughout the year and we were almost never home at the same time. My mom was emotional as ever as we said our goodbyes. I made it to the hotel around noon and dropped my bags off before grabbing my wrestling gear bag. I walked into the arena to a couple of girls practicing in the ring. It was amazing to be back near a ring. I felt a little rusty, but I knew I was going to do great here. It was brightly lite with one ring right in the center. There were black folding chairs set up all around the arena. It was no where near as glam as WWE, but it was cute.
"Newbie alert." Someone said from behind me. She had a tall green and black mohawk. She was followed by on other women with brown hair. "Name's Havoc and this is Vicky Stevens." She pointed to the woman with brown hair.
"Hi, I'm Devin. Devin Rollins." I smiled holding out my hand. "Super excited to be here." They took a long look at each other before grinning back to me. Vicky crossed her arms over her chest and popped her hip out, blowing her hair out of her face.
"We know who you are." Vicky said.
"I didn't think you were this... perky and annoying in real life." Havoc said.
"Tough crowd." I smiled. I lowered my hand and blew out a short breath of air.
"Could you hyenas find someone else to prey on?" Another voice said behind me. I watched as they rolled their eyes. I turned around to a woman with black hair that laid straight down her back. She was very curvy with a walnut complexion and she was dressed in all black.
"What do you want Katarina?" Vicky rolled her eyes. Katarina was backed by two other women. One was a little darker and shorter than Katarina and the other one was around her height with lighter skin and brown hair in a ponytail.
"You girls don't have anything better to do than to bother the new girl." The darker girl said.
"Why do you losers always have to ruin our fun." Havoc said.
"Look, you better get out of here before I rip out both of your hair extensions and make new ones for you both out of of Havoc's green rats nest she calls hair." Katarina said. She sure did have a tongue like a viper. I was rarely intimidated by people, but this girl was a different story.
"Whatever." Vicky said as they walked away.
"Hey." The girl in the ponytail said to me. "They are harmless for the most part. Things just get a little boring around here from time to time. My name is Bayley, but I go by Daviana Rose."
"And I'm Ember, but you can call me Athena." Ember smiled. The two looked over to Katarina who stood there.
"What?" She asked. "Fine. Katarina Love." She smiled.
"I'm Devin, Devin Rollins." I said holding out my hand.
"We all know who you are." Ember said. "We all um.. watch WWE."
"Oh." I said. "It's not some of my best work, but I promise I am going to be a force to reckon with here."
"Yikes." Katarina said before walking towards the ring.
"Are you excited for your match?" Bayley asked.
"Oh, I'm in a match?" I asked.
"You didn't read the line up?" Ember asked. "You and Katarina are on fourth. You're taking on Vicky and Havoc."
"There's a line up?" I asked.
"I can't believe they're pairing me with her." Katarina said as she came back.
"We should have a practice match." Bayley said cheerfully.
"That could be fun." I said.
"Whatever." Katarina said. I jumped into the ring tightening up my white sneakers. I stretched a little as Katarina jumped onto the ring apron. Bayley and Ember jumped up and Ember started the match. We locked up and I took the upper hand catching Ember in a headlock. I did a hip toss and she landed on her butt. I pulled her arms back and she began standing up. She twisted around and kneed me in the stomach. As I held my stomach, she carried me over to the corner and slammed my face into the corner. I held my face as she quickly grabbed my arms and did a monkey flip. She held onto my arms again and flipped me again. I held my back from the pain. Ember stood kinda looking at me. I got up and ran at her quickly. She ducked my clothesline and hit me with a super kick.
"Okay, stop." Katarina said. I laid on my back before rolling over. "Didn't they teach you in anything in WWE?"
"Not much." I said, slowly sitting up. Bayley and Ember stood next to each other as they got in the ring. "I was moved to the main roster really quickly and spent no time in developmental."
"Because you're a pretty face." Katarina rolled her eyes. "It's girls like you that ruin it for the rest of us."
"Excuse me?" I said.
"You heard me." She said. "For some of us, this is our lives for girls like you, it's just a way to get your foot in the door for modeling or acting. This is actually trash." Katarina said getting out of the ring.
"What's her problem?" I asked.
"You could say Katarina is really competetive." Ember said.
"She's wrong." I said looking down. "This is all I've wanted. My brother and I grew up watching wrestling, we both dreamed of wrestling together and being Champions at the same time. WWE was... not like I expected. I tried to learn along the way, but I guess I wasn't good enough."
"We get it." Bayley said. "You can train with us?"
"Really?" I asked.
"Yea, why not." Ember said. "We normally get here to train at 7 every morning to beat the rush." We exited the ring one by one as we headed over to the chairs.
