I do not own WWE the wrestlers or Divas just the storyline plot and any oc character who may show up within the story.
Author's note: This is a new story much like how my other WWE stories are, and are not connected to any of them in any way. Instead I thought I would take this in a somewhat of a new direction while still adding in Bray Wyatt and the Authority. For those of you who have read my WWe stories please let me know what you would like to see happen next. If you want Roman to have his powers like he does in Lockdown Asylum for example, or if you want this one to be a little more realistic then please let me know. I would love to get your feedback. It is greatly appriciated.

Chapter 1 - My Demons
Mayday! Mayday!
The ship is slowly sinking
They think I'm crazy but they don't know the feeling
They're all around me,
Circling like vultures
They wanna break me and wash away my colors
Wash away my colors
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay (okay, okay)
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away (away, away)
Save me if I become
My demons
"Your demons mold you Dean."
There it was again. The voice of the Eater of Worlds Bray Wyatt echoing deep inside the crevices of my subconcious.
"I'm sure you think you got me all figured out by now, but the devil works in mysterious ways Dean. What is mine is mine, and it always will be! Weither you like it or not my lost little sheep you belong to me and no one else. You belong to the darkness that lives inside you just as I do."
I tossed and turned restlessly and frantically as I tried everything I could to rid myself of Bray's annoying voice inside me. It was so real that as I felt a soft hiss of breath tickling my ear, I snapped awake in alert. Gasping for breath I shot streight up in bed with my sandy blonde hair plastered to my forhead with sweat.
"Dean? Are you okay?" The soft voice of Renee beside me made me turn to look at her, and for an instant I felt slightly better, at least for a moment before I saw something that made my blood run cold.
I saw that night happening all over again. That night on Raw when Seth betrayed me and Roman.
I remembered it all as if it had only happened the night before. I thought I was over it, but apparently somewhere deep inside of me I guess I could never truely forgive Seth for what he had done. He had hurt us not just physically but emotionally and mentally.
Roman may have no problem admitting his true feelings of Seth's betrayal but for me it was a hell of a different story. I was used to being alone. The feeling of survival was nothing new to me since I pretty much grew up by myself on the streets on Cincinatti practically clawing and scratching my way until I couldn't fight anymore.
"Dean, are you okay?" Renee's voice was beside me again as I drew in a soft breath and slowly nodded as I swung my legs over the side of the bed and got up walking out of the room followed by Renee asking, "Are you sure you're okay? Where are you going?"
I slowly nodded as I proceeded to throw on a shirt, a pair of jeans, followed by my black boots and jacket."I just have some things I need to deal with." I replied in a soft voice without even looking at her. "I'll be back soon." And without another word I reached for my keys and opened the door of the house stepping out into the cold night air.
Maybe going for a drive will help clear my head. I thought to myself as I made it to the car. Opeening the driver's side of the car I climbed inside and put the key into the ignition turning it on which rumbled to life underneath my seat.
For a moment I just sat there with the engine running, and my mind spinning. the flashbacks of that night on Raw were still with me. Why was I having so much trouble letting that go? It was nearly four years ago and I thought I had put it all behind me. Letting out a heavy sigh and breaking the undisturned silence, I then turned on the radio which was already playing the song My Demons by the band Starset.
I cannot stop this sickness taking over
It takes control and drags me into nowhere
I need your help, I can't fight this forever
I know you're watching,
I can feel you out there
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay (okay, okay)
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away (away, away)
Save me if I become
My demons
Lying back in the seat as the song continued to play, I then heard the sound of a framilliar demonic laugh followed by the soft breaths of air tickling my ear. "I'm here Dean." Came Bray's voice again, but when I looked over in the passenger seat of the car there was no one there. "Calm down Dean." I said aloud to myself.
"Your okay. It's all going to be okay, it's all just in your head. Calm down." I drew in sseveral deep breaths trying to calm myself down but the damn little pep talk I was giving myself wasn't working. The more I tried to fight against it, the more I realised that just how much of myself I was starting to lose. I needed to find Roman and Seth. I needed help from my brothers, and I had to get to them fast.
Take me over the walls below
Fly forever
Don't let me go
I need a savior to heal my pain
When I become my worst enemy
The enemy
Take me high and I'll sing
you make everything okay
We are one in the same
you take all of the pain away
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay (okay, okay)
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away (away, away)
Save me if I become
My demons
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay (okay, okay)
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away (away, away)
Save me if I become
My demons
As I drove down the dark streets of the city, I reached in a pulled out my cell phone quickly dialing in Roman's number first.
"Come on, Ro please pick up." I said aloud to myself as I listened to it ring. The line seemed to ring on for an eternity before a ruff sleepy voice answered.
"Hello?"
"Ro, it's Dean, listen I don't have a whole lot of time to explain but I need you and Seth to meet me as soon as you guys can."
"Meet you where?" Roman's voice was ruff and heavy with sleep and I was starting to feel bad for waking him up like this but then again what else could I do? Who else could I turn to for advise like this?
"Please Roman just trust me. I feel like I'm losing it bro, my mind's spinning in all these different directions. I can hardly breathe and can't sleep without all these god damn hallucinations of Seth, Bray and the Authority fucking with me. I don't know what else to do."
"Dean, calm down." Roman said gently. "You need to take a deep breath and calm down."
"They can't save you Dean." I heard Bray's voice again in my head and my vision began to swim in and out of focus as I tried to keep my concentration on driving.
"I'm the only one you need. Your one true savior from this inner darkness."
"Shut up, Shut up!" I found myself screaming outloud forgetting the fact that Roman was on the phone with me and immediatly winced with guilt for waking him up with my outbursts.
"Bro, listen to me. I need you to calm yourself down. I'll call Seth and the three of us will figure out what to do."
"Call him while I'm on the phone with you Ro," I said my quickly as my voice quivered in fear. "I don't want to be alone anymore."
"Like I said before dude, just stay calm okay? you're not alone anymore."
I could tell that Roman more then likely thought that I was high on drugs or something since I was known to never be afraid of anything in my life. I was a fighter from day one and especially no one's puppet.
I heard Roman dialing in Seth's number and waited in antcipation trying to will myself to take deep calming breaths to calm myself down.
The feeling that Bray was somehow closing in on me was frightening and before I knew it everything started flodding back. I found myself begining to panic again. My vision started swimming again and I could hear myself trying to breathe and all that came out was hard gasps as though I was drowning and trying to keep my head above water.
I heard a quiet groan coming in and realised it was Seth's voice when he answerd in a harsh tone, "Roman, what is it bro? Do you got any idea the hell what time it is?"
"Seth, listen to me." Roman's voice was calm and soothing which was comforting to me since I was the one who was usually the unpredictable one of the Shield.
"I know it's late, but Dean needs us. He's really struggling right now and keeps hearing Bray's voice inside his head."
"Wait, what's going on?" I could tell Seth was confused so I explained the sitaution to him.
"My mind's spinning in all these different directions. I can hardly breathe and can't sleep without all these god damn hallucinations of Bray and the Authority fucking with me. I don't know what else to do."
For a minute or two I decided to leave out the part of Seth betraying us but the instant I thought about it was the moment that the image of seeing Seth hitting Roman in the back with a steele chair and the smug look on his face as he joined Stephanie and Triple H seeped into my weary brain and a surge of anger began to take over me as the words were out of my mouth before I could take them back.
"Seth there's something else that's been bothering me too. The night you betrayed me and Roman hurt a lot more then you can ever imagine and although we are once again brothers, I still feel like I still can't trust you one hundreed percent."
I heard Seth groan loudly in exasperation. "Let that shit go Dean alright, it was four fucking years ago! How else am I supposed to tell you that I'm sorry?!"
"Seth, calm down for a second." Roman said calmly. "Dean was telling you how he feels. You don't need to take it so personally."
"How the hell else am I not supposed to take it personally?" Seth's voice was harsh with anger. "I know I fucked up by joining Triple H and Stephanie alright? but there's no reason to keep bringing up the damn past okay? What's done is done."
Immedialty I felt guilty for saying what I said but what else was I supposed to do? I couldn't deal with this on my own and I figured my brothers would have my back and support me.
"Seth, I didn't mean to say it like that." I tried to keep myself calm despite the nagging notion that Bray's voice was still whispering softly in my head like the sound of a hive of bees.
"You know what Dean, this is ridiculous. If you can't trust me, then I guess I can't trust you." And with that Seth hung up leaving me on the phone still with Roman who let out a soft sigh and said, "Don't worry Dean everything's going to be okay."
Hearing Seth's words twisted inside my gut like I had been stabbed with a butcher's knife through the gut, and for a minute my mind went completly blank until I suddenly began to see a hazy thin layer of fog surrounding me inside the car making unbearable for me to see the headlights of the car on the dark road.
"Roman? Roman!" I was frantic now as all I heard was nothing but static now on the other end. My breathing began to quicken and my pulse began to race inside my chest with each frantic heartbeat. as the fog inside the car grew darker until I couldn't see anything in front of me, then the next thing I saw was the sudden hallucination of Bray Wyatt's face within the fog laughing demonically as his said, "I'm the only one who can save you Dean. You got no one to turn to and nowhere to run."
Suddenly the next thing I felt was the force of the imapct as the car crashed into something hard and heavy. I didn't know how fast I was going or even what had happened. I didn't feel any pain only just the intial shock as I realised that the fog had just been another hallucination.
Black spots began to fill my vision as I could bearly hear the sounds of Roman's voice speaking clearly now with no static interference. "Dean what the hell was that? Dean? Dean, answer me! Bro are you okay?!" I tried to answer him but all I could manage to get out in a very fatigued weakend voice just as I had passed out was, "Help...Me..."
TOO BE CONTINUED... Hope you all enjoyed the first part of my new WWE Story and are eager for more information. As for where this story may lead to who knows? All I can say is that there may be parts within this story will be taken from real life events inside the ring. Say for example for those of you who don't know Dean is offically a heel on the roster after turning on Seth last Monday night after Roman annouced that he had been diagnosed with Luekemia. So we will have to see where things go from here. If you want to see more please let me know by messaging me and giving me your feedback.
