Chapter 18

Jamie groaned as she leaned into Hunter, knowing she couldn't support her own weight. She could tell the team was nervous as they watched masked men walk down the ramp. There was no telling who was behind those masks but at the moment it didn't really matter. Jamie pulled herself away from Hunter and struggled to regain her full balance.

Tyler took a deep breath and watched as the team descended from the top of the ramp. She gulped and glanced at everyone in the ring, knowing they were a little unsure on how this battle was about to turn out. She nodded her head and let everyone know that this one was going to count and everyone heard the audience go silent. The only sound was the footsteps of the men coming down the ramp.

Hunter sent a concerned glance towards Jamie and shook his head. He really didn't want to have her anywhere near this fight but at the moment he doubted she would leave them alone to deal with this situation. Sighing he turned his attention back to the team and took a deep breath. He had a feeling that this was what Vince had planned all along. He had to have known Jamie wouldn't be here by herself and that they would interfere in her match. This whole thing was planned right down to Jamie's anticipated win.

Jamie could feel the weakness in her legs and knew that was a bad sign. She wasn't sure how much longer she was going to be able to support her own weight. She sent glances all around the ring and noticed that the team was fidgeting nervously. If anyone got seriously hurt tonight she wasn't sure she could handle it, she would know it was all her own fault.

"Jamie can you handle this fight?" Tyler asked her injured friend. "If you can't I want you to slide out of the ring and head out through the audience. You're no good to us injured."

"I can handle it." Jamie lied through her teeth. There was no way she was leaving her friends to fight this battle without her. This was a battle she intended to help them win.

"You're lying." Hunter said bluntly to his wife. "Look at you, you can barely handle your own weight."

"Shut it." Jamie said abruptly to her husband. "I said I can handle it."

Hunter glanced through the corner of his eye at his wife and shook his head. He should have known she was not going to cooperate even if it was in her best interest. Sighing he turned fully towards his wife and gripped her shoulders, turning her towards him. "You either leave this ring and get your injured self to the back or you're going to regret it." Hunter said glaring at her.

Tyler stared openmouthed at Hunter and then started laughing. She tried to control her laughter but pretty soon the whole team was laughing, which confused their opponents even more. She had never seen anyone talk to Jamie in that manner and that was what was so funny. The look Jamie sent her husband said he would be enjoying the couch more than anything for a while but she watched as Jamie listened to her husband and crawled out of the ring. She crawled over the barrier and through the audience towards the back.

Jamie stood at the back watching on the monitor as the masked men made it into the ring and she gulped. She wanted to be out there helping but she already knew what Hunter would have done had she stayed.

Tyler felt the first blow and looked behind her at Jazz who initiated the fight. As everyone glared at her the masked men entered the ring and the fight was on.

Jamie looked behind her when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder and frowned and then her eyes went wide. She backed herself against the monitor and bit her bottom lip nervously. She held her hands up in a defensive position and prepared to get the beating of her life.

Then Vince, Jazz, Sable, Kane and the masked men exited the ring and walked halfway up the ramp in the middle of the fight. The team in the ring looked battered and bruised but were still on their feet. They grinned as they turned their attention to the top of the ramp where a figure appeared out of nowhere.

Brock Lesner walked out with Jamie in his arms. He smirked as he saw everyone in the ring suck in their breaths and try to think of something to do to help her out.

"You sent her straight to me Hunter, thank you." Brock said laughing.

"Leave her alone!" Hunter shouted, trying hard not to panic.

Tyler looked around her for something that might be able to help her get to Jamie. She felt the panic rise in her chest and looked back to the top to see what Brock was going to do next.

"Ladies and Gentlemen enjoy the rest of the show." Brock said as he pointed at Tyler.

"What does he want with me?" Tyler asked Hunter since he was closer to her.

"He must know you're her best friend. He thinks you're going to sacrifice yourself for her." Hunter said reading into Brock's hand movements.

"I will." Tyler whispered as she started to head towards the ropes to leave the ring.

"As much as I don't want anything to happen to Jamie, I can't let you do that." Hunter grabbed her arm. "Jamie is already severely injured and of no help to this team in a big fight. You can help them in a troublesome time. They need a healthy person and sending both of you to the injured list is only going to weaken your friends. It's exactly what Vince wants. You wanna help Jamie, you can help by staying healthy and uninjured so you can fight a battle of revenge." Hunter said making a lot of sense.

Tyler watched as Brock realized she wasn't coming up the ramp and he shrugged his shoulders. He threw Jamie over the side and into a table down below. Tyler winced and looked away but she could hear the echo of the wood breaking all the way into the ring. She felt the guilt rise in her chest and then that was replaced by anger. She would make them all pay for what they had just done.
