''Ocuh! Easy huh'' Seth flinched as Kelly treated him. She was patting a towel against his temple, trying to clean the wound that Roman had placed there about ten minutes ago.
''Try to relax'' she said, now holding a needle in front of him. He swallowed.
''Seriously, did you really have to crush him like that? Some punches would had been enough; we still need him you know'' Elena shook her head as she took another bite of her apple.
''If it wasn't for him stopping that asshole from hitting you, I would have killed him'' Roman muttered, walking back and forth in front of her.
''Perhaps…''
''I did mention I'm against this huh?'' he interrupted her and she peeked up to see him glaring at her. She sighed and stood from her seat.
''Several times'' she rolled her eyes.
''Because it's a really, really, bad idea. Have you even thought about…''
''Breath! Kharma and Kelly volunteered too, remember?'' she said smiling and he stared at her.
''Even worse'' he sighed and shook his head displeased.
''Can you believe how clumsy Kelly is?! I mean the idiot was supposed to stitch me up and forgets to give me a painkiller'' Seth appeared, looking at Elena and Roman. They gave him a glare and turned their backs against him. He sighed, understanding they, apparently, still were mad.
Everyone was now gathered. Roman, Seth, Punk, John, Randy and Hunter; yeah and the three girls.
''Let's go'' Hunter muttered and the group followed his steps.
''I have a nickname on them you know'' Shawn looked over at Stephanie.
''Yeah, and what is that?'' she said worried as she watched her ladies disappear among the trees. She knew they didn't have a choice, thanks to her selfish husband who initially refused to send out a patrol.
''The suicide squad'' he sighed, shaking his head. She snorted with a smile.
''Suitable''

''Guys, I think we need to turn back'' they turned to see Elena stand with her left arm wrapped around her stomach, breathing heavily.
''Why?'' Randy frowned.
''My lungs are somewhere along the road'' she breathes out and bends down to catch her breath as they break out laughing.
''Seriously how do you do this'' Kelly stumbled out behind some bushes and was breathing just as heavily as Elena. They shook their heads before exchanging gazes.
''Dips for Elena'' Roman said and the girl peeked up questioningly. He went over to her and picked her up. She yelped in surprise as he threw her up on his back and she wrapped her legs around his waist in fear.
''Seth, why don't you take Kelly huh?'' Roman said, moving Elena a little so he had a good grip before walking up to the rest of the team.
''My back, and head, hurts'' he muttered.
''I wonder why'' he added before continuing walking, Roman grinned proudly and Elena chuckled at her Samoan friend.
John carried Kelly and Kharma said she was good on her own. Usually, their biggest concern would be NXT, but right now they were most worried about having three untrained girls along with them. They knew Hunter only wanted to punish them, but even he thought they wouldn't be so stupid and yet here they were.
''We'll settle here'' Hunter said and Roman slid Elena down. She smiled her appreciation before walking over to Kelly.
''Boys you know what to do, and you three… uhm collect some firewood huh'' Hunter said and they looked at each other.
''Uhm, sure'' Elena said and they turned to leave.
''Just don't go too far'' he added.
''Remind me again why we're here'' Kelly sighed as she threw two more firewood among the others.
''Dean'' Elena replied.
''Right, I'm only here for you darling'' she chuckled. Elena knew that, and she was deeply thankful.
''Me too princess'' Kharma said and Elena gave her a smile of appreciation.
''Are you together or something?'' Kelly smirked, taking a seat on a rock.
''Me and Dean? No, no'' Elena chuckled.
''No? I was so sure; I mean the past weeks you two…''
''We're friends, that's it,''
''Btw, did you two know he was with Paige?'' they stared at her, okay apparently no.
''Poor thing'' Kharma said sadly and Kelly nodded in agreement. They all knew about the accident that occurred about three years ago. WWE was delivering supplies to a village and… well long story short; NXT struck. The only thing left was ashes and kids. It took two months to identify all the bodies and among them there was Paige, a well-loved teammate.
''Okay, so Roman then?'' Kelly continued and Elena raised her eyebrows.
''Roman? First time speaking to him was after that incident'' Elena shook her head, smiling.
''I told you it was Seth'' Kharma chuckled, making Elena frown.
''It's okay if it's him'' Kelly said sadly.
''I'm sorry he ditched you'' Elena arched her eyebrows and Kelly shrugged.
''That's fine. I'll admit that I like him but I guess he only was looking for sex and when he got it, he was pleased'' Elena stared at her.
''What?'' she blinked confused.
''He slept with you?'' she raised her eyebrows.
''Yeah, I thought you knew?'' Kelly frowned and Elena looked at her for a while.
''Yeah, I just thought he made it up you know'' she lied and picked up some firewood.
''No, I couldn't resist. You know that I usually don't sleep with men on the first date but he was too tempting; and he was good'' she grinned and Kharma chuckled. Elena just nodded, Dean's and Roman's comments suddenly made sense.
''How is it going?'' speaking of the devil.
''You tell us; will this do?'' Kharma asked and Seth looked at their collection.
''Perfect, I was sent to help you carry'' he smiled and started to pick up the firewood.
''I hope you don't make us do anything else'' Kelly said as she brushed off her clothes.
''No, we got the rest'' he chuckled and turned to Elena, she was unusually quiet.
''Are you okay?'' he asked but she just gave him a glare and he sighed.
''C'mon Elena, I'm trying'' the girl snorted.
''Yeah I'm thirsty too Kelly, let's go huh'' Kharma looked at the blonde and she blinked confused.
''What? I'm not thirsty?'' Kharma gave her a glare and she widened her eyes.
''Right, water, gotta stay hydrated'' she said, picking up Kharma's intention and they walked away, leaving Seth and Elena behind. Elena looked after them and cursed underneath her breath.
''Are you gonna resent me forever?'' Seth continued and she sighed.
''I don't resent you'' she said and picked up some firewood of her own.
''Then give me the benefit of the doubt''
''What makes you think you deserve it?'' she snorted and he frowned confused.
''Are we talking about Dean?''
''No. I'm not defending you, but everyone in your position would have done the same…You were alone, Hunter should have sent you back with reinforcement'' she muttered, not looking at him. He frowned.
''I'm not following'' he dropped the firewood and walked up to her, forcing her to look at him.
''Why did you lie about Kelly?'' she glared at him and he sighed, knowing that would come back and bite him.
''Honestly, I don't know. I guess I didn't want you to think bad of me''
''Clever way of doing so'' she rolled her eyes and he sighed again.
''If I could, I would take it back'' he said.
''And what? Do it to me instead?'' she crossed her arms over her chest and he stared at her.
''I would never touch you without your permission'' he said seriously and she observed him, a little stunned.
''What do you want Seth?'' she said after a while, confused and he shrugged.
''Depends'' he stepped closer with a glint in his eye.
''Do you fancy Dean? Or Roman?'' he looked her in the eyes.
''Why does everyone keep asking me that! We're friends and…'' and with those words, he pressed his lips against hers.
His lips were soft and gentle, causing her to moan pleased against them and he grinned. Soon his tongue asked permission and instead of pushing him away, she allowed the entrance.
Kelly is going to kill her.
