A/N: mkay Since Evangeline and Bray have had their misadventure outside the ring, it's time to go back to work lol. I'm going to try and dip back into the current storyline with the corporation vs the wrestlers. I kinda forsee it coming, with Bray's tweet the other night about innocent people getting hurt. Anywhoo hope you like it! Also, this chapter is heavily influenced by (and quoted from) the song 'Awake O Sleeper' by the Brothers Bright.
Also, thanks for the follow, ariesleigh3! Hope you're enjoying it!
Wyatt Family's Bitch: I was kinda at a loss for direction after that chap, so I hope this is still as good lol.
Evangeline emerged from the bathroom, her hair still wet and hanging in her face. The Louisiana heat wrapped around her like a towel as she searched their closet for something to wear. Bray watched her as she stood in the doorway in just her boxers and bra, looking through the endless supply of his hawaiian shirts. He grinned watching her wiggle into a pair of jeans and grabbing a black t-shirt. "I was enjoying that show." He said, his voice still thick with sleep. She glanced back at him over her shoulder and smiled. "No time for all of that. We've got to get ready for work." "You're just lucky you've already had your shower, or I'd rock your world little girl." He teased as he climbed out of bed and walked to the closet to get himself some clean clothes. He hugged her from behind, planting a kiss on her shoulder. "Seems kinda surreal after last night doesn't it?" She asked. "We go from killing a demon to defending our titles against humans." He laughed and kissed her neck. "Yea it is." He stepped next to her, grabbing his wrestling gear and tossing it on the bed before grabbing jeans and a t shirt. He turned to grab boxers from a drawer and Evangeline playfully grabbed his ass before pulling on her shirt. "Keep that up and we'll be late for work." He told her.
Later that night the cameras were rolling as Bray walked into Stephanie McMahon's office. "You called for me?" He asked tipping his hat to her. She held her smart phone up to him. "What's this?" She asked, referring to a tweet he had posted the last week. "A tweet..." "When the men of power wage war, only the innocent suffer. Come with me. Down with the machine." Stephanie read. "And what exactly do you mean by that?" She huffed. "The message speaks for itself, boss." He replied, a smirk appearing at the corners of his mouth. "Is this something to do with how things are being run here ?" She asked. "If the message fits." He replied. "You think you're so clever, don't you? If you're so great, you and your boys can have a match tonight. You, Luke, Eric, and Kane." Bray smiled broadly. "Send us anyone. Just don't send us anyone you want back."
Bray and Evangeline held hands as they lead the rest of the group to the ring. As the boys climbed in the ring she sat in Bray's rocking chair, watching as intently as he does whenever he's in the ring. Kaitlyn sat on the floor by her right hand, watching the match too. The Shield's music hit and they made their way to the ring. Mark Henry walked down the aisle' eyeing Evangeline as he passed before lumbering over to the Shield's corner. When everyone rallied in their corners, Kane elected to go first against Roman. He stepped in and the bell rang.
The match lasted and entire hour, and the family wasn't prosperous. They fought hard but Mark Henry was too great an equalizer. Reigns and Ambrose had ganged up on Erik and Henry hit him with a World's Strongest Slam for the win. All of the men involved left bruised or bloody. Luke and Kane helped Erik to his feet and helped carry him backstage as Evangeline and Kaitlyn fussed over him.
"I'm sorry brothers." Erik implored as Kane helped him to the medic. "I'm sorry, brother Bray." Bray patted him on the shoulder. "They bested us this time, but you fought a hard fight my brother. We'll prosper next round." Kaitlyn grabbed Luke's face with both hands and looked him over. "Is it broken?" She asked, eyeing the bloody mess that was his face. "Yup." He grimaced. "Stay here, I'll get them to reset it." He said as he went to join Erick in the medic's room. Evangeline turned to Bray and he grinned, his bottom lip busted and nose bleeding. "I'm good. You've beat me up worse than this." He laughed but at her saddened expression he lifted her chin with a bent finger and kissed her, his blood warm and copper against her lips.
Evangelie felt the rush of cameras around them as Stephanie strode towards her, high heels clicking on the tile flooring. "I saw your tweet." She huffed, referring to when Evangeline had tweeted ' #AwakeOSleeper #DownWithTheMachine' during their match. "You see where Bray's anti-establishment comment got him." She said gesturing towards his bloody face. He grinned, licking the blood from his teeth. Stephanie made a disgusted face before turning back to Evangeline. "You have a match next week. You vs Kaitlyn." Kaitlyn eyed Evangeline nervously, wanting to protest, but her friend's quick glance told to stay quiet. "I'd rather take you on." Evangeline sneered. "You vs Kaitlyn. First blood match." She spat before turning in her heels and leaving. Bray grabbed both girls by the arm and lead them off camera. Time for a family meeting.
