Chapter 6

Kavari swallowed hard as she stood under the cold shower sprays. She'd watched Seth slip into black boxer/briefs earlier and it was like watching a tanned muscled Adonis get dressed. She was almost temped to offer to help him get dressed. That was such a bad idea. This whole thing was a bad idea. Kavari was glad her clothes were still clean and still smelled of her sunflower perfume or she'd be completely disgusted. She stepped from the shower as she dried quickly and dressed quicker. When she stepped from the bathroom drying her hair with a towel, a comb appeared in front of her face. Kavari turned and saw Seth handing his comb over to her, cracking a small smile.

"Thanks." She took the comb and tossed the towel aside, combing the snarls out. It didn't take long. Kavari walked over where Bianca lay on the bed and leaned down, carefully pushing brown hair out of her face. "You want to shower? It might help with your headache."

Kavari told the 3 mongrels she was helping Bianca into the shower, all of them agreeing. Bianca swallowed hard while Kavari started the shower sprays and tried pushing the pain away from her forehead, but it wasn't working. The salve had helped a little, but she still felt ill from how much pain she was in. That was one lethal head butt and it had knocked her completely out cold. She let Kavari help her undress and then stepped under the shower sprays, immediately sitting down since she felt dizzy from the knot on her head.

"How can be so compliant with them? Don't you understand what they're doing? They're using us against our families." She whispered, the tears not stopping and felt Kavari wipe them away from her face. "We need to figure out a way to get away from them. It's not safe here."

Kavari tried to smile slightly. "I don't know about you, but they came and took me from my job late at night. Clearly they are resourceful enough to know where we live our lives, where we work, whatever it took for them to take us. Running at this point would be pointless because they would only find us and bring us back. Besides, my father already knows I'd never do anything to hurt him. He's been my biggest support system through my entire life, so he knows whatever these guys make me do or don't make me do is them, not me." Kavari shook her head with a shrug. "And when I said I wasn't scared of them last night, I meant it. I've been through scarier things than this." As she looked in the mirror above the sink waiting for Bianca to finish up her shower, Kavari noticed the circles under her eyes were getting darker. Insomnia was going to wear her body down until she literally passed out.

"Do you think that's wise to leave them in there alone?" Roman questioned, folding his arms in front of his chest.

"Bro, there's no windows and only one way out, through that door. They can talk about escaping all they want. Something tells me Kavari won't."

"How can you be so fucking sure?" Roman wondered what the hell was going on between Seth and Kavari, his eyes narrowing. "You cannot fall for the bitch, Seth. She's a pawn in a chess game, that's it. Do you understand? You can fuck her all you want, but DON'T fall for her."

Seth scowled and punched Roman in the arm, chocolate eyes flashing. "I got it asshole."

Dean was packing up the SUV to keep his hands busy when he heard the conversation between Roman and Seth. "Hey, I don't give a shit if you fuck her, I don't care if you two tag team her. I don't even care if y'all fall in love with the bitch, just keep it out of the goddamn group. I don't want to hear no fucking fighting. You guys just figure out what you want to do with her on your own time." Dean walked back inside the motel room and banged on the bathroom door. "Come on princess, let's fucking move it!"

"Go away, asshole!" She shouted back, ignoring Kavari shaking her head at her and merely lowered her eyes to the water. Bianca finished her shower and felt a little better, taking the towel Kavari handed her. "You need to get some sleep." She commented softly, placing a hand on Kavari's shoulder and knew the woman must've been through something awful to have dark circles of that magnitude under her eyes. "Would it help if I started complying along with you?" When she merely smiled and shrugged, Bianca had her answer and she had to take a deep breath. "Fine, for your sake I'll just go with whatever they have planned. Maybe it'll get us away from them faster."

Her head didn't hurt nearly as much as it had that morning, though the throb was still there. Quickly dressing back in her clothes from the previous night, Bianca and Kavari walked out 10 minutes later and slid into the SUV without a word. Roman forced Bianca to take the passenger seat since Moxley was driving and took the far backseat so he could get some more sleep. Seth and Kavari sat beside each other in the other set of seats.

"Don't forget to stop on the way to the venue, bro." Seth reminded Dean, knowing the man wasn't happy with the way Bianca had acted, but hopefully Kavari had talked some sense into the bitch.

He glanced over at her, seeing how drained and tired she looked, a frown crossing his face. Wrapping an arm around her shoulders, Seth pulled her to lean against him and decided she was going to sleep. Whether she liked it or not, Kavari would be getting some sleep on the ride or at least until they arrived at the store.

"Make it closer to the venue." He added, rubbing the back of her neck and knew it wouldn't be long before she was out cold.

Kavari came out of a DEEP sleep, balled up next to a warm body. Her eyes opened and blinked a few times trying to focus around her, breathing in and out a few times trying to reach up and rub her eyes. Checking the time on her watch, Kavari noted she'd actually gotten 4 hours of sleep. Glancing up her eyes went wide, realizing she had completely forgotten she fell asleep on Seth's chest. As soon as she came out of her foggy state, she extracted herself from his arms.

"Sorry."

About 4 hours later Dean had pulled into the Walmart parking lot. He put the SUV in park and noticed Bianca move to get out, but his hand grabbed her arm, jerking her back. "Seth, take Kavari and get them both some clothes. I think she's less likely to make a scene than the Clydesdale is. Besides, I don't feel like being kicked again." Dean growled when she jerked her arm away from him. "Maybe your Daddy didn't punish you enough. Is that it? Maybe you need a good old-fashioned ass whooping. I wouldn't mind bending you over my knee and paddling that ass until its beat fucking red."

"Do it and watch how fast you lose your balls." Bianca hissed angrily, rubbing her arm.

When he went to grab her again, she elbowed him out of pure reflex nailing him right in the nose. Her eyes shot open as Moxley growled out in pain and knew she had to get away. Roman was in the far backseat, so he couldn't get to her fast enough and Moxley was busy holding his bleeding nose. Instead of opening the door and making a run for it, Bianca merely sat there with her arms folded in front of her chest, staring straight ahead. She couldn't run because of the pact she made with Kavari and would honor it…as long as this asshole kept his hands to himself.

Kavari stretched out her tired body and climbed from the SUV once she got Bianca's sizes, heading into the huge store with Seth next to her. She got at least 5 pairs of jeans for each of them, 5 shirts a piece, a package of panties for each plus socks and a few bras, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, comb, brush and hairdryer. They got to the checkout counter and got it all rung up. Kavari pulled out her credit card and swiped it, paying for everything before heading back to the SUV.

"I wish you would've let me buy that stuff for you." Seth grumbled the entire ride back to the SUV and sighed when Kavari just waved him off dismissively.

"The clothes weren't that expensive and besides if you guys ever let us go it's clothing I would wear day to day so it doesn't matter."

He didn't even have to hold onto her, Kavari wasn't going anywhere. In fact, Seth had a feeling even if they tried letting her go, she would stay regardless. She liked him and Seth really liked her. Then again, maybe he was just making shit up in his own head. Seth stopped along with Kavari when they saw Dean PACING like a caged animal outside of the SUV smoking a cigarette like his life depended on it.

"What happened?"

"He put his hands on me, threatened to paddle my ass and I elbowed him accidentally." Bianca replied nonchalantly, flipping Moxley the bird when he glared at her. "Fuck you too, asshole."

Watching the interaction between them, Kavari couldn't help laughing and shook her head. The interaction between the two of them, one would think they were seriously deranged lovers who lived by the 'Pain is Pleasure' motto. She walked over and handed a bottle of water to Bianca with some extra strength Tylenol.

"Take a couple, your head will feel better sweetie." She walked around the back of the SUV and watched as Seth opened the back doors, tossing the bags in the back on all the other stuff. They closed the doors and started to walk back around when Kavari grabbed his arm, stopping him. "I wanted to thank you for helping me fall asleep earlier. I really appreciate it." She pushed up, kissing his cheek softly and hopped into the SUV, looking out the window again. Why the hell did she kiss him?

Dean growled out in frustration, tearing his fingers through his dishwater blonde curls and gripped the ends tightly. He closed his eyes and just tried to pretend this bitch really wasn't this much trouble. Dean breathed in deeply and exhaled long, finally turning on his heels to get behind the wheel.

"No wonder your brother hasn't spoken to you in 5 years, you probably got on his fucking nerves 24/7. I wouldn't talk to your snobby fucking ass either." He muttered, strapping his seatbelt on and took off to the arena.

"No, but that was a nice try, asshole." Yes, that was his name for her from now on until Moxley could treat her like a human being instead of a ragdoll. "It's none of your damn business why I haven't spoken to my brother in 5 years. My personal life is not open for discussion, are we clear? Unless you want me to break your nose next time, keep pushing me. You're lucky I didn't try making a run for it earlier because I could've. I could've easily gotten out of this goddamn car and ran away from your stupid ass, but I didn't. Roman was in the far backseat, he wouldn't have gotten to me fast enough and I bloodied your nose, so you were too preoccupied. So keep taunting me, asshole, and I'll make your life MISERABLE until you finally let me go. Your choice, don't say I didn't warn you." Bianca popped two Tylenol extra strengths and set the bottle on the dashboard, propping her feet up on it while staring out the window. "And FYI, if he pulled what you have on me, I would never speak to him again anyway. So if that makes me snobby that I'm not happy I've been kidnapped by a despicable human being, THEN SO BE IT!"

"Sweetheart, just because Roman's a big dude doesn't mean he's slow. If he runs after you, you'll know it. It wouldn't take him but a second to catch you. And believe me, you'd rather he catch you than me." Dean stated, meaning that wholeheartedly because he'd end up head-butting her if he had to chase after her ass again.

"Okay you two, enough."

Seth shook his head, draping an arm around Kavari's shoulders and smiled when she leaned against him again, kissing the top of her head. He was in trouble. He was in so much deep water with his brothers because he was falling for someone he'd have to use as leverage. How the fuck was that supposed to work? Kavari would never go against her old man for him, would she? Seth touched his cheek and closed his eyes, drowning out Dean and Bianca's bickering while running his fingers through her hair again.

"Sleep some more, we still got a few more hours before we're there." He whispered, doing exactly what he did before. The more sleep Kavari got, the better off she'd be. "Hey, we need to stop to get some grub soon too, bro."

Roman glared a hole in the back of Seth's head. There was definitely something going on with him and Jacobs' daughter. He better not forget why they took her in the first place. If she broke his concentration and became sappy because of her, Roman would not only spear her into hell, but he'd spear Seth into next week for picking a girl over the Shield.

Kavari rubbed her cheek against the soft cotton material stretched across Seth's chest and pulled her knees into her chest, burrowing into his side. Pretty soon her eyes drifted shut and she was out again. The next time she was woke up, Dean had stopped for food and Roman came in throwing bags of food at everyone.

Pulling her chicken sandwich out, Bianca closed her eyes and took a bite, her stomach rumbling viciously. She hadn't ate since the night Moxley kidnapped her, so her body was screaming for sustenance. With gusto, Bianca devoured her sandwich and fries before everyone else was finished, tossing the bag in the center council so everyone could toss their trash away. Bianca ignored the way Moxley gaped at her and stared out the window, curling up in the seat. Her head felt better along with her system, everything beginning to work like it should again.

"Damn, someone was hungry." Roman commented from the backseat, finishing up his own food with a smirk. "Bout time you ate, honey."

Bianca scoffed, not responding to that and felt Kavari's hand clamp on her shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. She cracked a small smile and nodded at her newfound friend, letting her know she was alright. Seth could tell Bianca was starting to slowly warm up to the idea of being in the Shield, which was a good thing. He really didn't know if he could stomach watching another vicious head butt from Dean. Seth had never hit a woman in his life and he wasn't sure about his brothers until now. Roman definitely not, but Dean apparently had and didn't show remorse for it.

"You better not forget the plan." Roman murmured in his ear, loud enough to where only Seth could hear.

Seth glared back at him, nodding. "Of course not. Now stop worrying about it."

Dean was finally glad to see Bianca finally eat. He knew she had to be half-starved and sat behind the wheel parked in the fast food place they'd acquired their meal from, inhaling his double cheeseburger and fries. Fattening, but he'd hit the gym later and work it off before the show. He knew he was being a dick to Bianca, but if he wasn't the plan would fall apart. Everything they were working so hard for would turn to complete crap. Dean had to admit he'd never been with a woman who could take a head-butt from him and not get a concussion. Her threats set his blood on fire and soon the fire in his veins turned to molten lava. He really had to calm himself down.
