"Angel by day, Devil by night

Poison all the way, heaven by my side

Nothing can compare to the way you make me feel

Blinded by your stare

Tell me this is real

Wherever you're going, you know that I'll be there

However you need me, just say when or where"

Chapter 30: Broken Dreams (Part 1)

Wrestlemania 30, Before Show

Rydia sat on the floor of the locker-room she shared with the three members of The Shield, stretching her legs out to a noticeable flexible level. She leaned forward allowing her breasts to lay on the floor. Tonight was the biggest night in her short career. She was challenging AJ Lee for the Diva's Championship. Unfortunately, her mind continued to wander to other things instead of what it needed to be on.

Knowing her sister was now pregnant made her worry constantly about her safety. Listening to how happy both Mia and Dean were only made it that much more important to keep them safe. She didn't speak of the pregnancy in public or to anyone with ears so no one could tell Nick about it. The longer he didn't know the better.

"Okay, it's time for different music. I'm never going to be able to concentrate." She told herself getting up from the floor.

She walked across the cold floor to her Ihome system. Lifting her Ipod from the console, she scrolled through her playlists and found her Yoga/ Meditation music list and decided to play it instead of her usual hard rock and metal ones. The sounds of flowing water and nature with dance style background attributes allowed her to calm her mind down. Enigma was probably her favorite artist in that particular genre of music and listening to them allowed her to regain her focus.

"Alright, Rydia let's get focused..." She stated to herself once again.

The second she got complete focus on the task at hand there was a harsh knock at the door that interrupted her. She let out an annoyed groan and made her way to the door. Her eyes went wide the second she laid eyes on her opponent for the evening, AJ Lee. There was absolutely no reason for her to be there and the sly smile plastered on her face was a clear indication that something was going through her mind.

The Previous Night

AJ Lee danced among a large crowd of people, letting the beat of the music engulf her in its hypnotizing mayhem. A bright red cup was held securely in her left hand as her arms were raised above her head, trying to feel the energy radiating from the hundreds of people around her. A set of firm warm hands took hold of her narrow hips, pulling her closer to the rock hard body behind.

"Hush, pet..." His voice washed over her ears in a lust coated plea.

"Who are you?" She asked leaning her head against his chest, trying to get a look at him.

"Someone who can help you achieve utter greatness..."

The sound of his voice expressed great desire to give her what she wanted; but the question was how did he know what she wanted and why would he want to help her get that goal. She spun in his arms to get a good look at him. His long light brown hair hung loosely over his dark eyes. He dripped of sex appeal when she notices his muscle toned body, silently noting that he had more muscles than someone the superstars she worked with.

"Who are you? Why would you want to help me?" She asked taking a drink from her cup.

"My name is Nick. My reasons to help are strictly my business; but I couldn't help but admire you from the balcony. You are absolutely beautiful..."

Nick ran a hand down her arm, sending shivers up her spine. She smiled at the small touch. Her life had become complicated when her boyfriend decided to take a break from their relationship when he walked out on the company after The Royal Rumble. She felt alone and the man in front of her was granting her wish by paying attention to her.

"Let's grab a table and talk." Nick suggested and offered her his hand.

"Sure..." She replied accepting his offer.

He played the gentleman part well as he pulled a chair out for her to sit upon before sitting down himself. He continued to buy her drinks when she wanted them; but the fact was he had done this dance several times over. He knew exactly how to seduce a woman and have them do his bidding for a great deal of time. "I'm assuming you do not care for the newest diva on the roster. Am I right?" He asked.

"If you mean that little favored brat Rydia Chandler, then yes you are right."

Nick laughed at her choice of words to describe his ex-girlfriend. 'Brat' wasn't the word that came to mind when he thought about her. AJ scowled at the thought of her rival in the reign of top diva in the division. In her mind, Rydia was inexperienced and not suited for the task; but Stephanie loved her a great deal the way she presents herself when shes out there performing for the people.

"What's so funny?" She asked.

"Your choice of words. 'Brat' isn't the word I'd use for her."

AJ looked up from her cup and looked directly into his eyes. In the minutes they've known each other, she felt like he could give her answers to every question she has had over the last few months. "How do you know her?"

"She's my ex."

"Oh so this is about revenge?"

"Something like that..."

"Fair enough. I doubt that you would have started this conversation with me if you didn't want something; so what do you need from me?"

Present Time, Shield Locker-room

"AJ, what are you doing here?" Rydia asked not bothering to hide her confusion.

"You must really like the attention you get, don't you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

AJ took a small step forward, closing the already small distance between them. Rydia was starting to feel like that was something out of place with the whole situation. It smelled of Nick Grayson's involvement. Her eyes narrowed at her rival for the evening. "Oh I think you do. Do you like knowing that both Roman and Seth would do anything for you?"

"Seth and I are just friends. Roman and I are happy together. Who the hell told you that Seth has feelings for me? He's with my best friend Skye Atherton, in case you have forgotten."

"He keeps telling himself that he doesn't but how long do you think that will last when he sees you in danger or heaven forbid...hurt."

Rydia perked at the tone of her voice when she spoke the word 'hurt'. There was a smile on her face and it just wasn't any kind of smile. It was one she had seen a hundred times over when she played the vindictive and manipulative diva on screen. "You need to leave. I have no idea what you are talking about so would you please just leave."

"Now why would I do that, now that I know everything you've done up until this point in your career."

"I've done nothing to you."

"True; but you have to a new friend of mine and whatever happens tonight for the show is business. As far as after goes, this won't be the last time we will talking like this."

AJ turned to walk away. Rydia snagged her wrist before she could get too far away. The anger in her heart burned a fire behind her blue eyes. AJ saw the anger and felt accomplish in succeeding in the first step of the plan. "Is that a threat?" Rydia snapped.

"If I was threatening you, you'd know it. See you out there, Rydia."

With those words said, AJ walked away. Rydia stood in the doorway of the locker-room thinking about every word the woman said to her. There was only one person that would go great lengths to seduce the heartbroken woman to get back at her and that was none other that Nick Grayson. Her temper finally crossed over the line and she threw the nearest chair across the room, crashing it into the wall.

"Rydia, what's going on?" Seth asked stepping into the room just as she threw the chair.

"Well, Nick just recruited someone else." Rydia replied throwing her hands up in the air out of frustration.

Realizing who she was talking about, he also knew that she was in even more danger now that Nick had another set eyes from the inside. Seth reached out and cupped her face from both sides, pushing her hair out of her eyes. "She means nothing. We will get through this just like we get through everything else he throws at us."

"Seth, you don't get it. AJ is just lost now that Phil pretty much left her. Nick is using her and I'm not going to let him hurt her just to bring me down. She's completely innocent in all of this."

"I know. You need to be careful out there tonight with her. Who knows what she has planned."

Looking into his eyes, they held such warmth that screamed longing. She shook her head and started to back away. Thinking back on AJ's words about Seth having feelings for her, she denied the possibility of that being true. She wanted to believe that he cared about Skye with all his heart. He watched her reaction, seeing the confusion written all over her face. "Go get changed for your match, I'll find the others and inform them of what happened." Seth suggested.

"Thanks..."

Seth closed the door behind him the moment he stepped out of the room. He saw the last minute script changes laying next the door. Picking up the bundle of papers, skipping over the parts that didn't involved any of the members of the group. A smile coated his parted lips when he saw the outcome of Rydia's match; but it faded when he saw the ending of the match and what his involvement was. "Damnit, that was supposed to end...what the hell changed?" He whispered squeezing the papers up against his chest tightly.

Dean walked down the hall with his fingers laced with Mia's. She was wearing a semi-short navy blue sundress with a short jean jacket over it. Her stomach was turning into knots, not doing what she wanted it to do. He let go of her hand just as she started her bolt to the bathroom. Seth approached him with the clenching papers in his hand.

"Are you alright, Seth? You look upset." Dean asked.

"Nick recruited AJ Lee. She threatened Rydia already tonight."

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

"No and to top it all off, my onscreen relationship was supposed to end already and it didn't. I have to kiss her tonight again.

Mia walked out of the bathroom holding her stomach. She groaned a little but felt a little better since throwing up. She heard part of the conversation as she emerged from the room. "I don't see what the big problem is, Seth. You guys are friends." Mia stated.

"Mia, it matters. Stephanie was changing it for Roman to take my place and I don't understand what changed."

The couple looked at each other and realized that Seth must still have some lingering feelings for Rydia for him to make that much of a fuss about an onscreen relationship with her. Seth shook his head and walked away towards the parking garage for some air. Mia wanted to follow him and make sure he would be okay; but Dean held onto her arm. "Let him be. He needs to figure things out himself."

"He pisses me off sometimes. He knew that Roman and her would be something. Why would he even let feelings come through for her?"

"Sometimes you just can't help who you have feelings for..." Randy's voice interrupted.

Dean cringed at the sight of him. He hated that Mia accepted his friendship over better judgment. Randy smiled at the woman he once called his girlfriend and she returned his warm smile and one of her own. He reached out and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder as he stepped out of the building in pursuit of Seth Rollins. She was slightly hurt by the fact he didn't stop and talk to her. It had been awkward between them since the closure she gave him about their past relationship. "I'm sorry, Randy..." She mentally apologize as she continued to watch him until he was out of sight.
