CHAPTER 74 (RAW SPECIAL)
FAITH POV:
The girl's locker room was practically empty, except for Mickie who sat quietly in one corner painting her nails. She didn't really talk to me much these days, and every now and then I would ponder why, but not tonight. Tonight I had bigger fish to fry, and it all started with a look...
I went and stood in front of the tall mirror by the corner of the girl's locker room, and stared at my reflection....
This is it Faith....
This is the night that the nightmare finally ends.
For nearly three years now you have been living in fear, haunted day after day by the man who attacked you, knowing that he was still out there, somewhere...
Well no more! Tonight is going to be a revelation! And for the first time in your life Faith...doing the wrong thing is actually going to be the RIGHT thing.
Shortly after I got a phone call, it was from one of the officers sent down to retrieve the evidence I had, and so I quickly snuck out back of the arena and gave it to him. He had a few papers for me to sign, and while I did, I made it abundantly clear that I wanted Dean Ambrose arrested tonight! He promised me he would do the best he could with the power he had.
As soon as he left, I checked my phone and saw I had a text from Roman with the address of the hotel he'd booked for us tonight. I stood and messaged him back, before quickly running off to go get ready.
2 HOURS LATER...
Nearly done now, just a few more things to put in place...I smiled secretly to myself, while quickly lacing up my boots and standing back to admire my reflection again. I then carefully applied the deep red lipstick I'd be wearing, making sure it was absolutely to perfection, as every eye that arena was going to be on me tonight.
Almost complete, just one more thing...I smiled, and reached deep inside my makeup bag, carefully unzipping a compartment I had specially reserved for such an occasion. I smiled again as my fingers touched the cool silver metal of the knuckleduster I had bought myself after I was attacked. I vowed never to use it on anyone or anything, until the time was right. Because this particular item was meant solely for the man who attacked me so brutally that Christmas night. I wanted him to feel what I felt, and now...the wait was finally over. I tucked the duster deep between my cleavage so it was nicely hidden from view, then stepped closer to the mirror and checked my reflection again...I felt like a warrior going into her final battle, and I was ready to reign hell on earth!
I looked up suddenly when I heard Deans music start to play in the arena, and I could instantly feel my heart beating out of my chest with nerves, but more than that...I felt ready.
This was it...I thought, listening as the crowd cheered Dean with the usual welcome...this was my que!
I looked back in the mirror one last time and frowned, as a last minute voice popped into my head telling me to back down and let sleeping dogs lie. It was immediately silenced by the memory of my own screams the night he raped me!
NO! I told the voice...there's no backing down now, he has to pay! And with that, I lifted my head confidently, and I walked out the locker...
15 MINUTES LATER...
''...and new Intercontinental Champion....Dean....Aaaaaaammmmmbrose!'' the announcer said, and the crowd erupted into loud cheers for their favourite lunatic. I stood looking over at the monitors, from a quiet corner out back by the gorilla, watching as the referee raised Dean's hand in the air with victory, followed by Dean raising his newly found title in his other hand, all the while smiling and crying with happiness at the crowd, while a defeated Luke Harper exited the ring, and slowly began walking up the ramp.
I kept myself hidden until Luke walked through the gorilla, watching him trudge miserably down the hall back toward the guy's locker room...perfect, now it's my turn, and I want Dean all to myself.
I peeked again at the monitor by the entrance, watching as an emotional looking Dean basked in all the glory the WWE Universe was giving him, as a first time Intercontinental Champion...that's right Dean enjoy your win, because in a few moments, you're going to learn what it's like to have that happiness taken from you...just like you took it from me! I seethed in anger.
I slowly made my way over now to the short little stuck up tech guy, and I smiled when I noticed he was alone...this is going to be easier than if thought I grinned to myself.
''It's not your time sweetie'' he said sarcastically, when he noticed me walk over.
''Your match with the beautiful 'Miss All Red Everything' is after the tag team match'' he continued in a snooty tone, then turned fully and looked at me with a smirk on his face ''I'm sure on your undeserved salary you can afford a watch by now'' he said rudely ''...or maybe you could just beat someone up for it, but I guess we'll save that for WrestleMania 20-...''
PUNCH!!!
I watched as he fell to the ground, holding onto his bloody nose too shocked to speak.
''This one will do just fine...'' I smiled, taking his watch from him.
''Oh look...'' I said, examining it sarcastically ''just on time'' I smiled again, then threw his watch to the floor and stomped on it with the rage I was feeling, before stepping over him and standing in front of the audio control panel, scanning the buttons for my name...
GOT IT!
I then took a deep breath and SLAMMED my fist down on my own music!
Here goes...I thought, walking confidently through the gorilla...
I was about to ruin the show.
And I was about to ruin a man's life.
I was even about to ruin my own career, and possibly my relationship with Roman.
But this was a force bigger than even me! Because I wanted the whole world to know, just who the hell Dean Ambrose really was!
I was about to expose him for the Disgusting. Cold hearted. Manipulative. Lying, Bastard RAPIST that he really was!!!
It just killed me that Paige had to find out like this, she was my best friend, and I didn't want to hurt her in anyway...but she needed to know the truth about her boyfriend too!
From the moment I stepped through the gorilla, Dean began staring at me with total shock and confusion on his face, but I just smiled...you won't be confused for long Lunatic, because I'm about to make things crystal clear for you.
I walked down the ramp very calm and very focused, never once letting the noise of the arena fill my head. I could sense that all eyes were on me though, as I slowly made my way towards the ring.
As for my eyes however...they were solely focused on the new Intercontinental Champion.
I never took my eyes from his once, even when I neared the ring steps. I watched as he smiled and look round in amusement, as if waiting for the punch line to a joke that was never going to happen. And the closer I got, the more he grinned. Then he did what I guessed he thought best in a situation like this...he ushered for one of the ring helpers to pass him a Mic...
''Hey doll! Whatca doing out here? You wanna try out for the IC Title too huh?'' he joked in typical Dean Ambrose fashion. I listened now as the arena started chuckling at Dean's humour, wondering how long they'll be laughing for when they too learn truth.
I had finally made it into the ring, and stood face to face with him.
He grinned widely at me trying to play along, but I could see he had a worried look in his eye that suggested he was irritated at not being informed by creative that there was a change to the schedule. At this point I still hadn't said anything, so Dean piped up again, trying to be comical and entertain the crowd.
''So, whassup doll face?'' he winked, grinning down at me.
''May I?'' I mouthed, reaching my hand out towards his mic.
''Sure'' he grinned.
''This is what's up...'' SLAP!!!!!! My hand left one almighty red imprint across Dean's face, and I watched in my own amusement as he fell to the ground at my feet in absolute stunned shock!
''WHAT THE FUCCK??!!'' he mouthed up at me.
''The 'FUCK' already happened baby...and I didn't enjoy much!'' I hissed down venomously at him.
Dean quickly got back to his feet, then got right in my face with a blaze of fury in his eyes ''Have you lost your damn mind Faith!'' he hissed angrily.
''Yes...'' I smiled ''looks like the lunatic has finally met his match'' I smirked ''Awww....what's the matter Dean, hm? Didn't think I would figure it out did you? Do I really look that stupid to you?! Or are you just that cocky you thought you got away with it?!'' I hissed back.
''Away with WHAT?'' he asked in an exasperated tone.
''With raping me...'' I whispered low tone into the mic.
Faint chants of ''We can't hear you (clap clap clap)...we can't hear you (clap clap clap)...'' began emerging from the WWE Universe, but I just ignored them and continued to stare Dean down with venom in my eyes.
Deans own eyes immediately widened with stunned shock, before crumbling his face into a confused frown, as if trying to let himself process exactly what I had said ''With...ra..rap...raping you? WHAT!'' he repeated in disbelief!
''Cut the act Dean...it's over!'' I hissed loudly into the mic.
I guess in an attempt to reason with me, he ended up making the biggest mistake of his entire life, when he reached out and placed his hand on my shoulder trying to talk to me.
I immediately saw red .The kind of blood red that enters a room when all reason leaves. I slowly pulled out the knuckleduster from between my chest, then with all my might, and I mean every last ounce of it, I dropped to my knees and hit Dean with a low blow! I kept my hand there just twisting the duster right up into him, determined to make him feel just as much hurt as he caused me, watching in satisfaction as his face turned white with agonising pain, before roughly pushing him down with an almighty thud.
For the first time since entering through the gorilla, I let the noise of the arena fill my head....it was completely silent.
I looked round slowly as face...after face...after face...turned from being amused, to being absolutely dumfounded.
I knew I had the stage now, and I was gonna run with it!
I stepped over the withering body of Dean, and dragged a nervous looking camera man over to the corner where Dean lay. I then turned the camera fully toward my face, and stared into the lens as I raised the mic back up to my lips to speak...
MEANWHILE IN VINCE'S OFFICE......
''Are you seeing this?!'' Triple H asked, suddenly bursting through the doors to Vince's office in a fit of pure rage ''are you fucking seeing this???!!!'' he hollered!
''Excuse me Hunter! I'm talking with my daughter! And I shouldn't have to remind you that while I'm still owner of WWE, you respect me and knock when my door is shut!'' Vince barked.
''Turn your set on'' Triple H said to Stephanie, completely ignoring Vince right now.
''Did you hear me Hunter?!'' Vince said, immediately getting irritated with him.
''Yeah I heard you, now turn on the freakin' set'' he demanded.
''HUNTER!'' Stephanie said in a shocked voice ''...you need to calm down ok, there's no need to speak to my father or me that wa...-''
''Oh hell, I'll do it!'' he said impatiently cutting Stephanie off.
Vince and Stephanie both watched as an angry Triple H stormed over to the large flat screen TV on the wall, and turned the set on...
''THERE!'' he said folding his arms in front of him.
Stephanie's eyes widened in horror as she watched the scene in the arena unfolding, while Vince just sat back in his chair un-phased, and took his phone out.
''What the HELL is she doing?!!'' Stephanie screamed at the top of her lungs, quickly running over to the set to get a better look.
''Still think it was a good idea to bring her back?'' Triple H smirked bitterly.
''Sssshhh'' Stephanie hissed ''What's she saying? What's going on?!''
''I dunno, I caught it around about the time when she slapped Dean across the face'' he said calmly
''What!'' Stephanie said turning to him in shock, then her head quickly spun back toward the TV careen again ''Wait, did she just say something about...RAPE?! Oh my god! I'm going out there! We have to put a stop to this NOOWWWWWW!'' and she quickly walked back to her seat and grabbed her suit jacket.
''You'll do no such thing dear'' Vince said holding her back.
''What?''
''WHAT!''
Triple H and Stephanie said in unison.
''Let this run for a while....'' Vince continued, still scrolling through his phone.
''But dad, she's ruining the show!'' Stephanie protested.
Vince held his phone up now for both of them to see, wearing a very happy a grin on his face indeed, as both his son in law and daughter peered curiously down at the screen ''You see this? Do you see this?? We have just broken a record for the most viewed sports TV show in USA history on a single episode!'' he exclaimed excitedly ''social media is going crazy right now! And it won't be long before we're trending number one! So no, we don't go to that ring, until I say so'' he finished.
''Money grabbing old fool!'' Triple H mumbled quietly under his breath.
''Yet it was this same 'money grabbing old fool' that lined your pockets with gold now wasn't it?'' Vince countered, suddenly standing up from his seat to confront Triple H ''...so I'd be very careful how you speak to me young man, because it's not too late for me to change my will'' he whispered in his ear.
''Yes sir. Sorry'' Triple H said quietly.
''We obviously need to get to the bottom of what's going on here, but for now...the cameras stay rolling''
BACK TO FAITH POV:
Everyone began hushing and ssssshhing now, until the arena was dead silent.
''WWE Universe, I have an announcement to make...(deep breath) my name is Faith Melrose, and two and a half years ago, I was raped in an alleyway near my hometown of Columbus Ohio, where I was pretty much left for dead. Unfortunately due to lack of substantial evidence, my attacker was never caught. However earlier today, I came into contact with some pretty damming evidence...evidence that proves 100% without a doubt, that the man who raped me that night, was none other than your Intercontinental Champion...Dean Ambrose''
The entire arena gasped in shock!
I turned to look at him now, ushering the camera man to point the lens down at Dean.
''You can't hide from the past Dean, and I'm not running anymore'' I said calmly ''...now the whole world knows just what a low life, disgusting, womanising piece of shit you really are! You never deserved someone as good as Paige, and I'm happy she can learn the truth, along with the rest of the WWE Universe!!!'' I hissed.
''Faith please'' Dean begged, trying to get to his feet.
''STAY DOWN!'' I barked, kicking him hard between his legs.
''Ooowwww....Jesus!!'' he yelled in pain.
''How does it feel, huh Dean?! How does it god damn feel?!'' I yelled, kicking him again even harder this time with the point of my boot.
''STOP! Faith please stop!'' he cried loudly, cupping both hands in front of him trying to protect his area.
''Tell them'' I said into the mic
''What?'' he mouthed.
''TELL THEM!!!'' I screamed at him! This time holding the mic to his lips for him to confess the truth.
Dean's voice was nervous and shaky as he spoke...
''Faith...I....I don't know what's going on here, but you've got it all wrong...I...I never touched you!'' he cried desperately.
''LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!'' I roared!
I began pacing up and down glaring satanically in Deans face, forcing the camera man to take a few steps back, so he wouldn't get caught up in all the drama.
''You really have the nerve to sit there and LIE to my face! You make me SICK!!!!!!'' I yelled into the mic, kicking him once more!
''FAITH! STOP IT!!!'' a voice called from behind me....
Myself and the entire arena all turned our heads to see an angry Stephanie McMahon making her way through the gorilla, walking down the ramp at top speed with her mic in her hand.
''Stay out of this Stephanie!'' I told her ''This has nothing to do with you!''
She stared at me in shock, and opened her mouth to speak...but Stephanie never got that chance, as she was nearly knocked over by about 15 police officers, who all suddenly rushed through the gorilla past her, and began running down the ramp towards the ring!
''That's right...ARREST HER!!!!!'' she barked, pointing her fingers towards me.
''There not here for me Steph....'' I smiled stepping back, watching as the officers all surrounded the ring. I slowly raised my finger and pointed it at Dean, who looked just as shock horrified as Stephanie did right now. I then stood back and watched as the officers all closed in on him, their eyes ready for the hunt like a pack of wolves surrounding its prey!
They pulled Dean up to his feet, while the arresting officer slapped the handcuffs on him hard! He began kicking and screaming as they yanked him up by the arms, and dragged him out of the ring!
I just stood there smiling.
''Wait!!'' Stephanie pleaded ''STOP!!!'' she begged the officers ''You can't do this! Put him down! This is my show and your all ruining it!'' she screamed in anger.
''Stephanie please...do something!'' Dean begged!
''I demand you put him down noooooowwwwww!'' she screamed again at the officers.
''This is a police matter now ma'am'' I heard one of them say.
I looked round the arena, as people began whispering to one another with eyes still wide from shock over all what was happening. It seemed the WWE Universe -whatever little doubters were left- were finally letting it sink in that this wasn't a WWE inspired stunt, or some crazy elaborate storyline from creative...these were real officers, making a real arrest!
All Stephanie could do now was watch now while the officers continued to drag Dean's body up the ramp, and out back through the gorilla.
Stephanie then slowly turned to me, her eyes now transitioning into balls fire with the rage building behind them! If I thought she looked upset the day of Wrestlemania, it was absolutely nothing compared to how she looked at me now.
And with two simple words, she made her point loud and clear:
''YOOUURR FFFFIIIIIIRRRREEEEDDD!!!'' she screamed into her mic!
I nodded my head knowingly and let my mic drop to the floor in a thud, before fleeing out the arena and never looking back!
