A/N: Devan is KiranTheRay's character.
Amanda's perspective...
I wasn't sure what felt worse, the loud bang or the bullet piercing my right shoulder… my sixth sense told me to shove Finn out of the way, protect him… I did.
The next thing I feel is Finn's arms around me and I look up, his blue eyes wide with terror as he presses his shirt to my injured shoulder.
"Stay with me, Love… I… I can't lose you…" Finn says, tears streaming down his face.
"She doesn't belong to you…" I hear before everything fades away…
Third person perspective, November 2nd 2016...
Amanda snapped her eyes open, breathing heavily as Finn pulled her into his arms, Amanda unable to scream from the terror she felt coursing through her.
"Shh… it's okay, it's okay, Darlin'." Finn responded softly as Amanda breathing turned into crying, Finn lightly stroking Amanda's hair. Amanda was beginning to think that she'd never truly be free from her nightmares, she felt hopeless sometimes.
Amanda eventually calmed down and both her and Finn were settling back into sleep… but it wasn't too long before they heard a knock at the door.
"Everything okay in there, you two?"
Finn groaned when he heard Devan's voice but readjusted his black pajama pants and stood up, walking to the door and opening it, letting Devan in as Amanda readjusted her grey long sleeved henley shirt and red and grey plaid pajama pants after standing up.
"Yeah, just a nightmare, Devan." Amanda explained, not wanting a fight to break out.
While Devan and Finn respected each other, they were far from friends whereas Amanda and Devan became friends the second they met.
Devan nodded and pulled Amanda into his arms, the two hugging for a few seconds before Devan left, closing the door behind him. He wasn't the type to initiate hugs but he knew Amanda needed one.
Devan walked back towards his room when another door opened and he stopped, turning and seeing Carmella.
"What woke you up?" Carmella asked, half asleep and her hair and pajamas disheveled.
"Just… someone having a rough night." Devan explained before walking into his room and closing the door, Carmella closing the door to hers and Cass's room.
Once alone again, Devan looked out the window and saw frost forming on it.
'It was a night similar to this one… when Amanda explained part of her past.' Devan thought.
October 9th 2015...
"I couldn't prevent it… I thought I could've but it was out of anyone's control." Amanda explained after putting her half empty bottle of Bacardi Silver wine cooler down. "Any more questions?" She asked.
"Yeah. How in the hell can you drink that stuff?" Devan responded, Amanda chuckling slightly.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you and Punk were best friends at one point." Amanda replied, Devan finishing his Pepsi. "Aside from a slip up after The Beast In The East pay per view, I haven't drank for over a year… just got cleared off the Keppra-" She responded, Devan nearly spitting out his soda.
"Keppra?! You had seizures?!" Devan questioned, Amanda nodding.
"I'm not normally one to ignore doctors orders but after being pushed too far, I drank three Kamikazes, climbed up on the hotel bar, started dancing… fell off and scared the hell out of Finn and Sami." Amanda explained.
"I was watching the episode of Raw after the pay per view, saw the 15 stitches in your head… no one ever explained why." Devan replied.
"Now you know…" Amanda responded before hearing Finn run over to them. "Well, I've let off enough on you tonight, Devan. See ya around." She explained before leaving with Finn.
"Be careful around the Demon, Tiny." Devan muttered once Amanda and Finn were out of hearing range…
Present time, November 2nd 2016...
Devan pulled his pajamas off and got dressed into a pair of blue jeans, socks, boots, a long sleeved shirt and a black vest with Free printed on the back before grabbing his leather jacket and hotel and car keys, deciding to go for a drive to clear his mind.
Amanda would explain the horrific nightmare in her own time… but right now, Devan was too worried about her to sleep.
"You couldn't sleep either, man?" Devan heard as he exited the Marriott hotel and found Randy outside.
"Heard your ex crying and went to go see what was wrong… her nightmares are more like night terrors, aren't they?" Devan explained.
"This is from what I found out because she had left me but just after the double murder-suicide, Amanda didn't sleep for three nights… and when she finally did sleep, it wasn't long before she'd wake up screaming in pure terror. To try to make them stop, she..." Randy responded, Devan figuring it out because of the scar he had seen on the palm of Amanda's left hand.
Amanda sleepily rubbed her eyes when it was sunny outside and she heard her LG G Stylo vibrating and reached over, grabbing it and seeing a text from Devan.
'Don't open your door, there's a stupid idiot by the name of Kevin Owens out in the hallway.'
"That damn Monster is joking, right?" Finn mumbled after opening his eyes and seeing the text on Amanda's phone.
"Only one way to find out." Amanda responded before texting Devan.
'Are you near a fire extinguisher?'
'Ah, Tiny Prankster idea… alright, I've got it.' Devan replied before finding a fire extinguisher and walking over towards Kevin.
Kevin screamed in fright as a cloud of white surrounded him briefly before he saw Devan, who was smirking.
"What the hell, you fucking asshole?!" Kevin yelled.
"That's for trying to torment Tiny and don't dare say you weren't intending on doing so, it's all you've done since you've met her! Anything Amanda has done after was in self defense and anyone who's hurt you after you hurt her has done so in her defense!" Devan explained, shouting halfway through and attracting the attention of Sami Zayn, who nodded and went to go check on Amanda and Finn.
"Commotion in the hallway at 9 in the morning on a rare day we have off… do I even need to ask why?" Sami responded after Finn let him in and closed the door.
Amanda was already starting to feel better after the terror she felt from the nightmare faded… she was also hoping to find a way to make the nightmares disappear completely.
