Chapter Twenty Seven

Angel almost got caught up in the chaos that was going on backstage. She knew that pay-per-views were huge for the WWE, but she wasn't expecting something like this. Everywhere she looked there was crew members running around making sure that everything was in order and that everyone was ready; for it was finally here. Elimination Chamber.

She almost thought that this day was never going to come. Her whole career with the Shield had been leading up to this. Tonight, the feud between the Shield and the Wyatt family was going to be sorted out in the ring and SHE was part of it.

Nerves hit her hard as she realized that this was her first time being part of a PPV. She thought that being part of the normal shows was nerve raking, but now this was a whole different league. More people watched and attended the PPVs then the normal weekly shows. Which means there was going to be more eyes on her, more people to see her mess up.

Don't think about it. She told herself as she rushed to find the boys.

"Kick off show is starting soon." The crew members called as they ran pasted her.

Her eyes widened as she gave a glance down to her phone. Oh god, it was already that time. She quickened her pace as she made her way towards the locker room. Stopping outside of the door, she took a moment to catch her breath before she knocked. Though as she raised her hand to knock, a door to the second men's locker room that was down the hallway a little bit opened. And wouldn't you know it; Luke Harper and Erick Rowan came walking out.

She could feel those dead eyes staring at her as they walked past her. They didn't do anything or say anything, they just walked past, but she couldn't help the chills that went down her spine.

As soon as they were out of sight, she shook her head at herself. She had psyched herself up for seeing them later today. All morning and night she had been telling herself that she wasn't going to let them get to her today, that she was going to conquer whatever fear she had of them. Though she stupidly forgot that she might run into them backstage, and for some reason it seemed different, like she was more vulnerable. Probably because backstage had been where the Wyatts had messed with her this whole this time.

Stopping herself from thinking about it anymore, she quickly gave a knock on the door in front of her. "In coming."

"You're good, Angel." Someone called back towards her.

Slowly she opened the door and walked into the locker room to see, Cody Rhodes and Goldust who were getting ready for the kickoff show, Big E, and Jimmy and Jey Uso.

"Hey girl." Jimmy gave her a wink as she passed.

"Hey Jimmy, good luck tonight." She smiled as she made her way over to the Shield. "You too Jey."

"Hey there Miss Manager." Seth turned as he snapped up his tactical vest. "How was the meeting."

"Oh, it was good." She nodded her head. "Nothing new, everything is going to the way it was planned, so far. The kick off show, then the Intercontinental Championship match, then the tag teams before Titus O'Neil verse Darren Young." She said having the schedule memorized. "After that is your match with the Wyatts, then the Diva's Championship match, Batista verses Alberto Del Rio and finally the Main Event."

"Good, we've got a little bit of time." Roman nodded as he laced up his boots.

"A little bit." She told them as she sat down at the table next to Dean who was slowly wrapping up his wrist.

Dean glanced up at her and sighed. "Hey."

"Hey." She gave him a smile before quickly dropping her eyes down to the table. Ever since the girls' night with Renee, Nikki, and Brie; she had been wondering what Dean's answer would have been for the Kiss, Marry or Kill game that Nikki had set up for him. The game was just a joke and she knew it, but it made her wonder what he would pick for her.

"Kick off is starting!" A crew member called into the room.

Her eyes widened! There was no time to worry about a silly game, it was show time.

The TV in the locker room turned on with the remote broadcasting and instantly the start of the show played with the fireworks and everything as Michael Cole welcomed everyone to the kick off show.

"We got thirty minutes until the show really starts." Seth gave a smirk as she tucked his gloves into one of the pockets on his vest. "Imma go grab some chow, anyone what anything?"

"Bring me back a sandwich." Dean nodded his head. "And a water."

"Water for me, man."

"Two waters and a sandwich, do you need anything?" Angel blinked as Seth pointed at her.

"I'm good." She sighed. "Shouldn't I be the one making the running for food and water?" She asked as she pushed herself out of her chair.

Seth put a hand on her shoulder. "I got this." He told her. "You're our manager not our servant. Relax and get ready for the show."

Taking a deep breath, she watched as Seth walked out of the room. Part of her wished that Seth would have let her do the running, it made the nerves worse to just sit there and do nothing.

"You seem a little bit on edge there." Dean told her as he ripped the last piece of his tape off.

"Just antsy." She sighed as she watched as he threw the roll of tape over to his things, not seeming to care that the roll missed and rolled under the seat of the locker that he was using.

"Waiting's a bitch." He agreed as he leaned back in his chair, covering his eyes with his arm.

She gave a small smile at the man sitting across from her as she heard the door to the locker room open again, "We need Cody and Goldust."

Both brothers stood up quickly, without a word Cody walked out of the room, while Goldust took a deep breath in while running his hands up the front of his 'gear' "Show time." He told himself before following his brother.

The crew member that came for them seemed almost creeped out by Goldust though they just gave their head a shake and turned back towards the men in the room "Big E and Dean I was told to tell you to make sure that your titles are nice and sparkly for the show." He said before closing the door behind.

"Sure thing." Dean mumbled from under his arm.

After a bit of time of just watching Dean sit there, she cocked her head at the man. "Well…" She tried to get his attention.

"What?" She saw him peaking at her from under his arm.

"Aren't you going to do what they asked?" She questioned.

Dean let out a sigh and adjusted his position on his chair. "No."

"No?"

"There's no point. It's not like I have a Championship match."

Angel couldn't help but roll her eyes. "So."

"So, then it's pointless to give the belt a spit shine if it's not going to be featured on the show."

"Don't you plan on wearing it down to the ring?"

"Of course."

"Then you should clean it." Even with all her pleading, Dean made no effort to move. Taking a deep breath, her eyes snapped over to his locker to see the title sticking out slightly from his bag. Giving a glance back at him; she got up, went into the bathroom and grabbed both a wet paper towel and a dry one. She then quickly grabbed the belt out of his things before making her way back to the table. Where she gave an over exaggerated grunt as she threw the title down.

"What the hell are you doing?" He asked sounding slightly started.

"Well if you're not going to do it, then I will." She told him as she got to work on giving the title a 'spit shine.' "You too Big E." She called across the room to the Intercontinental Champion, who she noticed wasn't doing as he was asked as well.

"What?" She heard him call back.

"Bring your title over here." She ordered. "Come on, the IC belt needs some love too."

D.D.D

Dean just stared at the woman in front of him as she scrubbed down his United States Championship belt. She had just blown him away. He wasn't surprised when she fought for him to do what the crew member had asked. But he didn't think that she would go out of her way to do it herself since he wasn't going to, or that she was going to practically scold Big E for not cleaning his belt as well.

He looked up to see Big E making his way towards the table with his belt in hand. "Set it on the table, I'll get to it after I finish this." Angel said without looking up at the man.

Big E's blinked at her as he laid the belt down on the table. "Is she for real?" The man asked.

"I guess so." Dean shrugged his shoulders at the man.

He knew that Angel had an aggressive side, she had shown in once before, but it still baffled him. He watched as she carefully cleaned every nook and cranny on the main part of the title before going onto the little side bits. As she got into the rough details areas of the belt, her brows drew in close and pursed her lips. Once she was finished with the US title she moved onto Big E's IC belt. Giving it the same treatment as his.

"She's really taking this seriously." Big E shook his head as he crossed his arm around his chest.

"What's going on?" Seth said as he walked over to the table.

"Just doing what Dean and Ettore should have done." She mumbled, calling Big E by his full first name; making everyone just stand there and blink at her.

Seth was the first one to move. "What now?" He asked as he handed Dean the plate with a messily made sandwich on it and a bottle of water.

"We were told to clean our belts for the show." He explained as took the food and drink and set in on the table in front of him. "And when Big E and I didn't jump at the order, Angel decided that she was going to do it."

"That way it really gets done." She sighed making Seth laugh as he walked over to Roman and handed him a water.

"Done." Angel called out as she threw the paper towel that she was using down on the table, when she was finally happy with the way the IC belt looked. Without another word she looked up from the table and glanced back at him and Big E with a smirk on her face.

Slowly Big E leaned down and grabbed his title off the table. "Thank you."

And like that, the smirk on her face turned into a smile and her look of frustration went away. "Your welcome! Good luck tonight."

Dean watched as Big E turned towards him with semi wide eyes. "I have no idea." He mouthed to the man.

"Jimmy and Jey Uso?" Yet another voice called into the room.

"Yeah." Both of Roman's cousins called out from where they were chilling.

"Interview time." Byron Saxton told them as he walked into the locker room with a camera man following slowly behind them.

"I thought we had an interview with Renee Young." Jimmy asked.

"She's on the social media lounge thing, so now you have me." Byron stated.

"Alright, cool, cool, cool" Jey nodded his head as the two of them crowed in an empty corner of the locker room.

"We're going to be live here in just a moment, can we have total silence please." Byron's camera asked.

As the interview set up Dean leaned back in chair. A few moments of silence is just what the doctor ordered.

"Going live in three, two…" The camera man pointed at Byron.

"We go from the tag team that we just saw to Eliminations Chamber…"

As Byron introduced the Usos, something small went flying through the air landing on the table, making Angel jump slightly. It was a water bottle cap and judging by the snickers coming from Seth and Roman, he knew that it came from one of them.

Quickly, Angel brought her hand up to her mouth and put her finger on her lips, shushing them. Which only seemed to make them laugh more, and in returned Angel glared at the two of them.

After she shook her head at them and turned her attention back towards the interview, Seth smirked and gave Roman a smack on the chest. Raising an eyebrow, Dean watched as Seth took out his phone, after a few seconds a vibration sound was heard echoing from where Angel was sitting.

She practically leaped out of her seat as she quickly reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone. "Seth." She sighed as she turned towards the two men, who were just barley quelling their laughter. Her eyes then widened, and she glanced back towards where Byron was doing the interview.

He could see as her chest heaved with a sigh as she turned back to the two men. 'enough.' She mouthed as she sat back down.

The rest of the interview, the three of them took turns trying to Angel to make a noise that would interrupted the interview. Yes, three of them, he couldn't help but join in the fun. While Roman and Seth tried to get her to yell at them for messing with her, he went a different way and tried to make her laugh.

He took his water and poured it over his head to wet down his hair. However, he poured more than normal, that way when he shook out his hair water went flying.

As he shook his head, Angel gasped as her eyes snapped towards him. Letting out a small giggle, she put her hands up to protect her face from the flying water.

When no more water came from his hair, Angel's eyes widened as she must have realized that he had joined Seth and Roman on their quest to get her to make a noise. "Mean." She mouthed as her smile turned into a cute pout.

When the interview was finished, Byron turned toward them and glared before walking out of the room. Which caused Seth and Roman to break out into laughter as the door closed behind him.

"You guys are so bad." Angel said even as she sounded like she was trying to keep from laughing herself.

"Tell us something we don't know." Seth smirked.

"Just you wait." She shook her head. "Just you wait, I'll get you back." They all looked at her stunned as she got up from her seat again and walked towards the door. "Shows starting." She gave a wink and left.

As the door closed behind her, they turned towards each other. "Is it sad that I wanna see how she going to get us back?" Roman smirked.

"Nope, I'm the same." Seth cracked his knuckles.

Dean nodded his head, he agreed with both of them. It was going to interesting to see what Angel was going to do to get them back. Just the thought of it made him want to laugh.

A.A.A

"There you go." Angel smiled as she handed waters out to Jimmy and Jey Uso as they came out threw the curtain after their match against the New Age Outlaws. Even though they had lost their match, there were smiles on their faces still.

"Thanks, Angel." They gave her a wink as they walked off.

Ever since walking out of the locker room earlier she had been in the gorilla, handing out water to the fighters as they came out of the ring. She was bored of just sitting around waiting for the Shield's match, she wanted to do something. And giving out waters was something.

It was also a nice way to meet a lot of the Superstars that she hadn't met before, and it was nice to do something nice. Big E had been grateful and even thanked her once again for cleaning his belt. Jesse James, aka Road Dogg and Billy Gunn where really nice as well as they walked out. Road Dogg called her ma'am as he grabbed a water from himself and his partner.

Although not ever one of her encounters was good. In fact, she got snubbed completely by Jack Swagger who had lost his match with Big E.

Letting out a sigh, she heard Michael Cole's voice coming from the screen in the gorilla as he tired to sell the Network to everyone.

Taking the time to relax, she leaned against the table of waters that she had prepared. There was one more match before the Shield's match and she was starting to get super nervous again. What if she tripped, what if she made herself look like a fool in front of everyone, what if she got in the way of her own team…so much could go wrong.

"There you are." Roman's voice echoed through the gorilla. "We were looking for you."

She looked over to see Roman, Seth, and Dean all ready to go, standing in the hall next to the gorilla. "You were?"

"Of course." Seth crossed his arms. "When you didn't show up to hound us about getting ready for the match we got worried." He said acting overly worried, she knew he was messing with her.

"But really." Dean said as he bounced around on his feet. "We were looking for you, we didn't want the Wyatts to do anything."

"That's why I'm here." She said gesturing around at all the of crew members that were in the gorilla.

"Smart." Roman said as he placed his hand on his belt, lone ranger style.

"Well, you ready to kick hillbilly ass?" Dean smirked as his bouncing turned into jumping.

"Oh yeah." She let out a giggle and pushed herself away from the table. After letting one of the crew members know to give out a water bottle to both Titus O'Neil and Darren Young, she left the gorilla with the boys and made their way towards the public entrance that they were going to use tonight.

As they were escorted though the lobby by a few security guards, she could hear the fans all around them. She even heard a few call out her name, which was super weird but at the same time it made her feel hyped up.

"Angel." Roman said looking down at her. "We want you to know that at any time if you feel uncomfortable during the match, let one of us know."

"Yeah." Seth agreed. "If Wyatt starts giving you his crazy eyes we'll knock the look right off his face."

"Can't we knock his face off his face?" Dean asked making her laugh.

"Thank you." She knew they were trying to make sure she felt alright about going out to the ring after what's been happening with the Wyatts, and she really appreciated it. "Don't worry I'm cool." She told them. "The Wyatt's can't touch me while you're around, right?"

"Damn straight, Babygirl." Roman told her as he clapped her gently on the back.

They got to their spots the boys started to try to hype all each other up. They were smacking each other, yelling at each other about how they were the Shield and that no one was going to stand in their way. Even started their little before match rituals which included Dean dropping down and doing his pushups.

It wasn't long before she could hear the video package playing over the titantron, showing both the Wyatts and the Shield as huge players. Which was one was going to win?

Four words, Believe in the Shield. She smirked as she looked at each of her teammates. She believed in the Shield, she believed that together they would stand strong and beat the Wyatts.

Sierra. Hotel. India. Echo. Lima. Delta. Shield.

Their theme started and all three of the men were ready to go. "Go get 'em" She smiled at the three of them.

"You heard her." Seth gave a clap of his hands as he started through the door, followed by Dean and then Roman. She wanted the boys to have their moment together and let all of them walk into the arena together.

Taking a deep breath, she went to step through the doors behind Roman when something clamped down on her mouth as something wrapped around her waist. What the? She panicked as she tried to scream out for help, but the doors in front of her just slammed shut.

When she realized that it was a hand on her mouth and an arm around her waist, she started to thrash around, trying to get free. But it was no use, the more she struggled the more she realized that she was caught. Her eyes darted around the area trying to find one of the crew members or security staff that was stationed with them, but she couldn't see anyone.

Where did they go? She screamed in her head as she was slowly pulled away from the doors. No! No! No! She gave another thrash, kicking her legs around trying her best to hit whoever was behind her.

When that didn't work, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes in preparation for the pain that she knew was about to happen. In a final ditch effort, she flung her head backwards. The back of her head connected with something and a loud groan came from both her and the man that was holding her, but the arms didn't loosen up, in fact they grew tighter.

"Ah ah, Erick we don't hurt our guest." Her body froze at the voice that she knew oh too well. It couldn't be. She cried as a dark shadow came in front of her. "Hello little lamb."

Skovko: I thought it fit their character. I got the idea from Paige and Alicia Fox playing it in their Ride Along.
