Three days passed quickly. She relaxed more and more in their company and they slowly found their friendly ways of being around each other like they used to do. But that was also all there was between her and Dean... friendship. He would wrap his arm around her each night, interlocking their fingers, but that was all. He was afraid to open up and trust her completely again and she didn't blame him. She knew it was her fault what had been broken between them.
"It's time we send Evolution a message," Seth said as the third day rolled around.
She looked at the camera and the computer he had set up and then at him.
"I'm gonna hack my way into the show tonight so we'll go up on the big screen. You stay far away from the shot. Last thing we need is for them to know you're still alive," he said.
"Don't worry," she said.
They watched on the computer as the show started. They waited for Evolution to finally find their way to the ring.
"Stay behind the camera," Dean growled as they lined up in front of it.
She nodded.
"Ready?" She asked.
"Ready," Roman answered.
She turned on the camera and looked at the computer to make sure they popped up on the big screen in the arena. She smiled as she saw them standing there.
"Hey Hunter! Up here!" Roman said.
Triple H, Randy and Batista all turned their eyes towards the big screen.
"You actually thought you'd seen the last of us?" Seth asked with a taunting laugh.
"No man, we were just waiting for the right time," Roman said.
"We're coming for you, all of you," Dean said.
"Bring it on!" Randy shouted from the ring.
"And once we're done with you, you'll end up meeting the same fate as that sweet little Angela you used to have by your side," Seth said.
"Where is she by the way? Out for a swim or something?" Dean asked in a mocking voice before sticking his tongue out.
"We're coming for you soon. Believe that!" Roman raised his voice.
She turned off the camera before anyone in the ring could answer and the men disappeared from the big screen in the arena.
"That was really good," she said.
"Yeah, now we just gotta figure out how to bring the fight to them the best way," Seth said.
"You know Hunter's gonna put up security at all the doors," Dean said.
"Except one," she said.
They all looked at her.
"There's an old cellar door that no one uses anymore. I kind of saw the code for it one day when I was accidently snooping around in his office," she said and smiled.
"Good girl," Roman said and smiled back.
"I'll get you inside. No problem about that. The question is what you wanna do once you're in," she said.
They sat down and started discussing their plans. She listened at first and then she suddenly cut in.
"I wanna get my hands on Randy," she said.
They all stopped talking and looked at her.
"He's a fucking brat and I just wanna kick him once for all the shit he laid on me," she said.
"You're not going with us," Dean said.
"Yes I am," she said.
"No, you're not," Seth said.
"Well, you're not getting the code," she said and crossed her arms.
"You have got to be kidding me," Seth said and turned his eyes to the ceiling and let out an annoyed sound.
She stood up.
"You discuss your plans and I'll go along with whatever you come up with. Hell, I'll even let you sacrifice me if that's what you need in order to get your revenge on them and me but I'm not staying behind. You figure out what you wanna do. I'll be in Dean's room once you're done," she said.
With those words she left the livingroom and walked into Dean's room.
She had been in bed for almost two hours when Dean finally came into the room. He closed the door, leaned up against it and just looked at her through the darkness. She sat up on the bed and looked at him standing there. He crossed his arms.
"You're not coming with us," he said.
"And you're not getting the code," she said.
"God damn it, why do you have to be so stubborn? It's dangerous," he said.
"So fucking what? Why do you care if I get hurt?" She asked.
"Because I'm not losing you again!" He yelled.
He pushed himself away from the door, walked to the bed and leaned down. He grabbed her tight and crashed his lips into hers while pushing her down on the bed.
"I refuse to lose you again," he said with heavy breathing in her ear.
"But that's exactly what's gonna happen if you leave me here. If you go without me, I won't be here once you return... if you return," she said.
"Uh, I swear that sometimes I just wanna... ah, you're so impossible to be around!" He growled and sank his teeth into her neck.
He licked the spot that he had just bit.
"And yet I can't seem to stay away from you," he said in a softer tone before kissing her again.
