CYPHER

Smackdown live; Women

" Fuc...fuvking..Bas...bastard ".

They sat outside the church catching their breaths after their short warm up .

The lack of breath did not stop May , she still continued to curse out Dean .

She did not sit and was instead slumped over the stairs railing as she also struggled to catch her breath .

" W... why the f**k would you make so much noise and then hightail it ? Did you not think that maybe we were all not in the same exercise - y mood that you were in ? "

Jade and Blade nodded , they were holding on to each other's clothes for support as they sat at the edge of the stairs .

" Yes , why did you just scream out of nowhere ? That's the kind of thing May would do without thinking , like always ".

May kicked Blade off of the edge he had been hanging on to and he fell face first on the side walk .

" Wait , were you trying to get the golems to go after Top dog and his crew ? "

Blade scrambled off the ground looking like the general idea to spilled milk and they all turned to Jade , surprised at his atrocious question , that was just what Dean thought .

That they felt the same perplexity that he felt over Jade assuming he would do something like that .

But , they all turned to him with knowing smiles on their faces .

" No , I was just frustrated and feeling decked , I screamed as an outlet , then I remembered the golem situation and ran ".

They all looked at him with disappointment , disinterest and boredom .

" So , you really did not do it to get the steels on to those idiots asses ? "

Dean shook his head in the negative to May's question and they all immediately assumed deflated expressions before turning around , away from him , Even Jade was not an exception .

Blade stood up and walked up the stairs to the door , he pushed it once and it opened up slightly , he pushed again , just enough to create a wide enough space for them to go through.

Jade went after Blade , Dean turned to see that May was still hugging the railing with the sack leaning on her legs .

He grabbed the sack in one hand and hooked his fingers into the belt holes of May's shorts , pulling her along as he climbed the stairs .

He pushed the sack through first and then decided against going in first .

Instead , he pushed May through and earned a kick that he avoided neatly before going in himself .

He pushed the door closed and turned around to find Blade and Jade bathing in the Halo of Dean's discovery .

Dean let them be and focused on getting the sack to the altar where he placed it next to the table that was covered with white cloth.

He began to empty the content of the sack on to the table , the others abandoned their sunbathing and ran forward , sighing in awe .

Dean looked towards Blade .

" Where are those golden goblets we used yesterday ? "

Blade ran to the pulpit and lifted a part up , he brought out the three goblets they had previously used and a wooden Chalice that they soon began to argue on who would have to use it .

Dean bent down when he noticed that they weren't looking and retrieved another bottle of wine from the stash under the table .

He began to shake and upturn the wine in an attempt to soften the cork up , he turned the wine over and left it , hoping the cork would easily come off when he was ready for it.

Dean took a bag of Lay's and opened it , the loud sound from the released air sending everyone flying forward , forgetting their argument on who had to use the wooden Chalice .

They all picked something they liked.

Dean noticed that Blade only took snacks that were chocolate affiliated while Jade stayed away from everything with onions and May could not fill her hands faster , straying over every snack she could touch .

They all sat on the ground and Dean pulled the bottle of wine down, but the cork was still on tightly .

May pulled it out of his hands and began a bizarre ritual to open it .

" Is it healthy to be taking wine and chocolate ? "

They all looked up to Jade , considering his question .

After a while May went back to her ritual and Dean went back to chewing , leaving Blade to answer .

" I don't know if I'll be alive in the next hour , the least I could do is eat something outrageous ".

Dean chuckled and pointed to the wall that separated his room from where they sat .

" Among my supplies , there are bottles of water if you want that ".

Jade rushed to his feet , muttering his gratitude as he ran to the room .

May passed the wine to him again with the cork still on it .

" What was the essence ..."

Dean stopped talking when he twisted the cork and it came right off , rolling away .

He looked up to see May smirking victoriously .

" I'm sure I loosened it for you ".

She just scoffed and stuffed her mouth full with enough Pringles to feed five years old triplets .

Dean poured the wine in their goblets , there was no need for anyone to use the chalice now .

Jade returned and sat by them , holding a bottle of water that was now half filled .

" By the way May , are you really participating in the gauntlets ? "

They all stopped eating and turned to Jade , he smiled awkwardly .

" I mean it's quite dangerous and yesterday nights fight with Dean and Top dog had to have been the first fight that the defeated player was not killed ".

May jerked angrily and placed her goblet down , splashing the red liquid on the carpeted floor .

" What were you doing there then ? You obviously could not fight and everyone was just waiting for you to die ".

Dean hissed at her, calling out her name.

" May ! "

" He is right , you were not even being provoked , you practically begged him to put you in a fight . Do you want to die that badly ? "

May threw up her Pringles , scattering bits of crunchy snacks all over them .

" You know what ? f**k everyone of you . I don't take orders from anyone especially not you Dean , with your sickening ' better ' attitude ".

Dean laughed .

" You should not have asked me to team up with you then . I intend to survive this game and the last thing I need is some attention seeking child running around and stirring up trouble ".

May flinched like he had struck her and Dean blinked , biting his tongue to give him enough time to always think before he spoke .

Blade got up and pushed May down , back into her previous seating position .

He did the same to Dean , his grip stronger than Dean had thought as he pushed Dean down, on to a seat of prickly Pringles.

May continued to glare at him through it all.

" Jade , continue what you were going to say before May and Dean decided to have a show of their own ".

Jade cleared his throat .

" My bag with all of my supplies and what my Patron got me was stolen by some people that I followed to the arena yesterday evening . I thought it was just a hangout that I could sneak through but I was caught immediately and taken to see someone that thought I was there to spy on them ".

" From what I saw yesterday , The gauntlet is run by a bunch of players that are trying to thin out the crowd of players . They had a whole hierarchy system set in place within their first hour here and now their operation runs smoothly. They own the fighters and they are very dispensable to the organizers ".

Dean interrupted him .

" You said there was an hierarchy , how high up is Top dog ? "

" That's why he is called Top dog , he is their dog and he has no hierarchy, he is only there to help them thin people out but Martha , I saw her and she did not look like she was there only to thin out the population , apparently she has a twenty one match streak going on ".

Another interruption .

" Martha ? The person May is supposed to fight ? She's practically a serial killer ".

May began to guffaw , a forced one that ended in an awkward squeak .

" Doesn't it usually take years for people to regret not following old people's advises to them ?"

" It's only been a few minutes and I already deeply regret a lot of things elder Dean asked me not to do ".

Dean rolled his eyes .

" I am sorry for calling you a child , but you are an attention seeker ".

May laughed.

" I know and I'm sorry for acting childish".

She looked at each of their faces.

" I'm sure you all have something to apologize to me for , do it now before I take my anger to my grave ".

Dean shook his head ,to think he had thought she had something relatively smart to say.
