Road To Bloodbath

[Deleted]

Jason ran backstage immediately after the closing segments of the show. He held his tag team title in his hand and looked around him with anger and rage in his eyes. He pushed down everything in his way and searched endlessly for Eli, the leader of Bloodline. Corner after corner he turned before finally reaching the parking garage. He saw Eli and Hannah together, heading up to the second level of the garage. He sprinted up after the duo and soon was within arms length of Eli. He gripped Eli's shoulder tightly and turned Eli's body, revealing a wicked grin on his face along with the EHWF championship hung on his shoulder. The design of the title reflected into Jason's eyes, revealing his anger to Eli. Jason pushed Eli and started at him with rage.

"What the fuck man?! What was that?!"

Jason raised his arm and pointed his index finger in the direction of Hannah Walters.

"Is this bitch destroying our brotherhood? Huh!? Doesn't family mean anything to you?! Are you really just going to treat me like this even though since day one of joining Bloodline, I have backed you up, protected you, and been your greatest asset? Bill made the wrong decision and left us which justifies your actions against him, Calvin you treated with respect when it came to his title match with you, but in the hell would you treat me like this when it comes to my title match? Isn't this what you wanted? You wanted us to expand our horizons and be the best we can be. Unfortunately for you, that means that I must take that EHWF championship from you. I never mistreated you, I never disowned you, I was always your brother you could count on and here you are acting incredibly irrationally! What the fuck is your problem Eli!?"

Jason took a step back and looked into Eli's eyes. It was clear that Jason was angry, Eli had no justification to his actions, Jason had been there since day one and yet Eli felt the need to mistreat Jason at the end of Mayhem.

Eli Sykes was spun around with one swift tug on his shoulder, coming face to face with one of the last remaining allies he had in the company, Jason Dave. Sykes stared into the intense eyes of Dave, who was irate with what had just happened following Sykes' loss to Savannah and Sah'ta Thor. The word "bitch" in reference to Hannah Walters escaped Jason Dave's breath, and Eli Sykes' attention was now completely his. It was one thing to insult Eli, but to speak ill of Hannah Walters was just another way to get on Eli's bad side. Eli Sykes puffed out his chest and inched in closer to Jason Dave.

ELI SYKES

"I suggest you watch your tone, Jason. Hannah was around long before you and she'll be around long after you. I've never questioned your loyalty, ever. But, where were you? Hannah was hurt and I was getting double teamed, and you were nowhere to be found. Just remember who you're talking to before you try this shit again, Jason. Remember who was there for you when you had nowhere to go. Remember who answered your calls for help when no one would listen. Next Sunday at Bloodbath, you get a shot at my World Championship. Bill couldn't do it. Calvin couldn't do it. What makes you think you're going to be any different? I am the most dominant World Champion in the history of this company, and I'm not even close to slowing down. But, since you have everything to gain, and I have everything to lose, why don't we add in an extra stipulation? All or Nothing... If you win, you walk away with MY World Championship. But, when you lose, I leave with the World Championship... And both of those EHWF Tag Team Championships that you hold. Sounds fair to me, unless you're chickenshit because you know I'm going to win."

A toothy grin spreads across the face of Eli Sykes as he waits for a reply from Jason Dave.

Jason stood there staring into the wicked eyes of Eli. He looked down at his half of his tag team title and looked at the EHWF championship hung perfectly on Eli's shoulder. The offer was tempting, too tempting at that.

"Do you honestly think that I care about what happened with Bill anymore? He's gone, I broke his fucking neck and Calvin was always over confident in his abilities. You and I both know that I'm different than both Bill and Calvin. Time and time again the three of us were there for you, but when were you ever there for us? Do you think that this whole crusade was started just so we would protect you on your quest to become EHWF champion? No, we all knew we were going to clash one day and it's finally down to you and I. Bloodline was a supposed to be a crusade built on the ideals of a family and trust, not a tyranny. You've got yourself a deal though, at Bloodbath, It's all or nothing. The tag team titles and the world championship will be up for grabs, winner takes all."

Jason turns away from Eli and takes a few steps away before stopping in his tracks and turning his attention back towards Eli. The wicked toothy grin never left Eli's face, he stood there like a statue, absorbing every last word.

"Think about this Eli, without Bloodline, without your brothers, where would you be? Do you think that you would have lasted through all of the attacks? The ambushes? All of it? Face it, you need Bloodline more than you think."

Jason turned away and walked away from Eli, leaving him alone with Hannah to contemplate what he had done.
