[OOC: The reason Kaylyn left was never disclosed to ACW or the public. Just a reminder. =) ]

It had been quite some time since she allowed a camera of any sort into her home. It was no surprise however that the first welcomed in was part of the ACW crew. Even though she had been gone for some time fighting to keep her life, it was the ACW family and the love of what she did for a living that had her fighting harder then ever... and pulling through. After letting the crew in, Kaylyn found herself sitting on the couch in a daze, remembering all she had gone through the last few months.

Backstage, after the farewell that was given to her, Kaylyn held in tears as she gathered her things and made her way out of the building not sure if she would have the opportunity to ever return again. As she went through the doors she stopped and turned around watching them shut behind her, and the stream continued, and even Chris holding her close and telling her everything would be alright, had not calmed her down enough...

While holding the ACW Woman's title... a checkup held surprises for her that tossed her world into a frenzy. She did not let that stop her from continuing what she was doing however, but after losing the title to Aurora, things just got worse from there. The title is what kept her fighting, and without it, the fight was becoming harder to do. After months of trying to cope with what was thrown at her, as well as living on with her day to day routines, everything became too much all at once, and she knew she had no other choice, but to leave the business and take care of herself.

After leaving ACW, the media had tried to keep tabs on her, but she had lucked out for the most part, and avoided them by using her alias name (Kelsia Vector) every time she was hospitalized. One day someone from the media caught her leaving the hospital however and when she arrived home, her lawn was full of those she was not ready to speak to... knowing that her life, and what she was going through would come into the discussion.

Looking out the window, as her husband dealt with the media, reminded her of what she was missing, and that was a part of her life that she needed to be truly happy. So, instead of sitting around, she fought harder, and then contacted ACW to make her return. 

Coming out of her daze she noticed the camera man was ready for her, a soft smile on her face came about before she stood up and crossed the room motioning for him to give her one more moment. Grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge she moved over towards the window and looked out at the pouring rain. It was chaos outside, which fit how she was feeling inside and out as well. The camera was on, and rolling, and her words were soft as she was starring out the window.

Kaylyn Vaude: “I never thought I would see the day that I would be able to step into an American Championship Wrestling ring again... but, that time has come... and for Dahlia, it could mean many things. I have seen what you have had to say to all of your opponents, and I already know you are pure... but pure does not always protect. I admit, you have shown the whole ACW roster, and the world what you can do in the ring, but now it's time to step inside with someone who knows what they are doing. And Princess, I promise I will show you a thing or two that the other woman have not been able to do. That little streak of yours... it's about to come to an end... I guess no one told you how I love to break streaks.”

“Don't get me wrong Dahlia, you have beaten some of the best there is but due to unfortunate circumstances for yourself, I happened to return, and management has given me the opportunity to show them, all over again, just how good, in the ring, Kaylyn Vaude can be. The only promising thing for you, is that you are getting the better side of me... and not the viscous deviate I used to be. How's about I tell you a little about me there Dahlia, so you know what you are getting into this Sunday. This whole 'Pure will protect me' act you have going is pretty cute, but you see... I call it like I see it, an act. Why you might ask would I think such a thing... if you check back, at what I did throughout my career here in ACW, I have pulled plenty of stunts, or acts as you will, to make myself seem more fierce then I already was... I was the best at it, so I can tell when one is full of themselves. You are pretty persistent however, and that much I will hand to you. I have to say....”

Kaylyn stopped as Chris called from the hall upstairs letting her know that her opponent had made a broadcast and Kaylyn excused herself momentarily and the camera was cut. Only those that were in the house of Vaude knew how much time really went by before the camera turned back on and Kaylyn was sitting on the windows ledge looking out at the rain once more. Her feet were planted flat right against her bottom on the ledge, and her arms were wrapped around her legs as she sat there in thought.

Kaylyn: “You have done your homework on me Dahlia, and that puts you one step closer then many who have come before me and lost, you have actually went and looked at what you are getting yourself into, and that there is a good thing... you are right though... there are many sides to me, which makes it that much more difficult for you this Sunday because you know not which Vaude will come into the ring. Will it be the Kaylyn who is here for the love of the sport... or the Kaylyn who was here for the love of the fight? What is the difference one might ask... simple. Love of the sport is quite simply putting on a great match no matter who the winner turns out to be. Love of the fight, that is making sure I am the winner at all costs. So, you already said which you would prefer in the ring... however, once a cheat, always a cheat... least so the saying goes.”

A smirk came across the face of Kaylyn as she turned away from the window and looked over towards the camera at the last sentence she had stated. Those long legs, only covered by the barely there white cotton shorts, stretched out as she sat up right, and then turned to let her legs fall towards the floor. Her feet were bare, and other then the sky blue tank top she was wearing that was torn off at the torso, she had little else on. Even with the rain outside, it was a rather hot day none the less. Granted the air system was running, knowing how hot it was outside kept the thought in ones head.

Kaylyn: “Just like the dolls, I don't like to be locked away Dahlia, and that is whats most dangerous here... knowing that I might come out to the ring, and have a pipe close by... or maybe even some brass knuckles... they too were something I enjoyed a bit much. One never forgets how it feels to make someone bleed, and not just drawl blood... but really to make them bleed... leave them laying in a puddle of their own blood. Alexa enjoyed it... I gave her what no one else could in this business, and that was matches that she yearned for. A street fight, cage match, last woman standing... she never would have gotten any of that if it were not for the old me... or, the original me. As time went on I did lose the title, but that is not what made me nice... I had that in me all along, it just took Aurora to bring the real me to the surface, and I thanked her for that in a way that she will never understand. Hell, she might not even have realized I thanked her, because it was not in words. Way back when Aurora and I first teamed together, back when I cheated, I showed her then just how nice I could be, and she never let me forget that for a single moment.”

Kaylyn had a smile on her once more, but this time it was different somehow, unexplainable.

Kaylyn: “As you said, Chris came into the picture, and he is still going to be there for me, right there at ringside each and every night. He does make me happy, and thankfully you did not make the mistake that others did and say that he would be my down fall. Many thought since he came into my life, I softened in the ring.. but no one knows what was going on in my life... no one could understand... and now, no one has to, because I am back with as much fight as ever before. Unlike everyone else... I don't fear being weak, I will admit that I am not sure if it was the time for me to come back, but ACW became my life, and it was a part of my life I missed far too much to stay away from. Now, I have said I am not sure if it was time for me to come back... does that make me weak Dahlia? Do you feel that win coming at you this Sunday because of words? Remember something angel, words can be deceiving.” A little wink was sent towards the camera, obviously for her opponent. 

“I learned something early on Dahlia, and that is, no matter how much you watch someone and what they can do in the ring, you can never truly prepare for it, because when you are in the ring actually feeling what your opponent can do to you, it changes things greatly. While knowledge is a good thing, it too can be deceiving. I will promise you one thing though... it will be a fair fight. One on one, no strings attached. Each one we are in the ring with is different in every way, and while I have been beaten plenty of times, and won a fair share as well, I fought hard in each of those matches, and I never backed down. Your right about one thing for certain, and that is this week will be a fight in that ring, and one you might never forget at that. Don't get too excited about it however, I don't want there to be any hard feelings when all is said and done... on either side that is. No twisting ankles or anything before that match, save it for in the ring. All that hype and energy will fuel me even more once inside that squared circle.” 

Sliding her bottom off the ledge her feet came to touch the wooden floor beneath her, her arms stretching in the air causing her shirt to rise just slightly. Her hand moved fast to cover a yawn that seemed to have come from no where, it was time to rest, and soon... lord knows she needed it. Getting herself together she moved closer and her hands came to rest on the back of the couch as she stood there thinking of her next words. 

Kaylyn: “Sometimes we like to forget things in our past Dahlia... but no matter how hard we try, that does not happen. I am sure you have an idea of what I am talking about... maybe one thing in your life you could think of that you wish never happened, or that you could have changed, but you push it away, and try not to think about it. The toys in my life... they are pushed aside, that doll I had being one of them. It was a gift to me actually, just like yours was. However, mine is no longer around...and no Tee did nothing to it.” Kaylyn laughed slightly thinking of what Tee would do to a doll. “No, I got rid of it, burned it in a fire, along with other things in my past. I would rather not see any dolls the rest of my days honestly, so I would ask that you leave your doll behind when you come to the ring... otherwise I am not responsible for my actions. Please understand that was not a threat, but it was a warning. Lets just say dolls and I do not get along very well. So, you can keep your doll, have no worries of me touching it. It is you that I will be touching Dahlia, and like I said before... you will find out Sunday if that is a good thing or not. I not want for you to be scared, so that much is clear, I just want you to be ready for me... and from the looks of it you are. Be ready for action, adventure and so much more, but this is no film, this is real, and you will feel pain. No matter the outcome, I will not be made, like you said, win or lose, its a learning process, and I know I am not perfect, but I also know I have the want and will to win once more...”

Kaylyn smirked again and her head turned side to side as her hair flew back and forth along her back, she seemed to be getting it out of her face, which few strands had gone to. 

“...and soon enough, I will show everyone, that Kaylyn Vaude is back... and better then ever.”
