The toxic aroma filled the room and most of the house seeing they had the windows open throughout. The basementwas where they had decided to start and there were only two small windows in there. The one window lead to the front yard, and the other window was within the small half sized bathroom. The toxins within the room were strong, but they kept working. Adrean, Tony, and Kelsia were all at different walls in the basement with paint rollers in their hands painting away at the concrete in front of them. The tiled floor was covered with a piece of plastic just to make sure no paint got where it was not supposed to be. Kelsia had been meaning to remodel the place but she had not much time on her hands with everything else she had taken up. Seeing as she was on a break from school at the moment she was using her time wisely. Getting everything done as quickly as she could but at the same time making sure the job was done right the first time around. Right now she had help but this Sunday at Revelation it would not be that way. She was glad for that; she wanted nothing more then a one on one.

The second coat was just finished being applied when they all decided a break was in order while the paint dried up. Stepping through the room and into the hallway with the washer and dryer, as well as the stairs leading to the kitchen of the house, they headed out the back door which was straight ahead and there they were in the back yard where the barbeque was at just days before. The table that was once set so they could eat now was cleared of everything but three glasses, one which Kelsia picked up as they got out there. Finishing off the contents which looked to be iced tea she placed the glass back on the table once more. A truck was in the driveway, with carpet in the back of it; obviously she was going all out with the remodeling of the basement. The tile was going to be coming up and padding and carpeting were going to be going down in place of it. The time for fun and games was over. She was ready to step things up in more ways then one and with help by her side everything seemed to be working out in her favor, for the time being at least.

“Aurelei, that was so cute. First I see Cole showing Alexa some clips and telling her she needs to go back to her roots, and then here you are showing your own little clips. Was it really necessary? After all, like you, I don’t really pay much mind to anything you say. Did you actually expect me to listen to you now, and to watch the clips you were rolling? Maybe some other time, but not right now because I don’t have the time for it. The only thing I heard that you kept repeating was the fact that no matter what, Aurelei Phoenix rose once more. I got it, you are saying you can not be taken out…. Permanently. You can be taken out however; I just have to remember that whatever happens, once again you will come to get your revenge. I know that once more you will be coming for me down the line. Hell, I am sure we will meet each other many more times, and as much as I can not wait for this match this weekend, I will be awaiting the others to come as well.”

The door was left open so that the fumes could leave the basement and fill the air outside. The three of them stood there in silence for a moment. There was much work to be done, but the next step had to wait until the paint was dry. After all they didn’t want to get paint all over the new carpet or anything of that sort. 

The sun seemed to stay for a while; the heat coming from it was feeling good right about now. Time seemed to be going by at a quick speed as they waited. Finally Kelsia got up to go check the paint on the wall only to come out and let them know that they could get back to work now. Sad too, it seemed like they were enjoying the bit of daylight that was still out there. The plastic that had been covering the floor was in her hands and she put it under the table so it would not blow away while they were in the house. Once in the room once more Kelsia got a smile on her lips.

“I say we make this fun. I have a few hammers here that would help in taking this tile apart quite easily.”

She kept that smile on her face as she placed the other hammers down, keeping one in her own hands as she got on her knees looking at the tile with her expression changing. She brought that hammer up over her head only to bring it down onto the tiled floor bits and pieces flying in any direction but not with much distance coming between the pieces and the area Kelsia had just hit. Yes it was dangerous fun but it was fun none the less. 

“Did you both see Aurelei’s little visuals for me this week? She acts like I need to see what she can do in the ring. As if I don’t know for myself what she can do. Yes I might not have been in the ring during those matches but has she not been listening to me since day one? I know I said I did my homework on everyone in this business. She must be a fool to think that I would not do my homework on the Women’s Champion as well. You know what; I should not even worry about that though. This Sunday she will see in the ring that I did my homework on her.”

“You know Kelsia, she is going to try to do and say anything she can to get under your skin. Like I said before, ignore what she says. Instead of letting it consume you and eat away at you just use it for in the ring. Yes you can retaliate in your promos but instead of letting it eat at you just wait until you get into the ring and let that all come out onto your opponent. See here is the thing; as long as you don’t kill her all is fine and dandy. Contracts were signed as you went into the business… Anything that happens in the ring is all gravy, you dig?”

Kelsia continued to bang that hammer into the tiles, breaking them up piece by piece as she listened to what Tony had to say. A nod was all he received from her. He knew it was not that easy for Kelsia to not just take Aurelei’s head of the second she would see her. However, she tried her best, and so far succeeded. 

“Well I know all of that. I am so glad for contracts. If they will not save my a** in this match then when I get my hands on Alexa they definitely will. I can see it now. I am hoping that Alexa fails in her match only if I do. If I win, I want her to as well. I can not wait to get my hands on her. This week it is Aurelei’s turn. This week it is all play. Aurelei said it best herself, a cat playing with a mouse. Thing is, she had the roles all out of proportion. I am the cat in this… she is the mouse, and I am going to tear her apart. One way or another I will be coming out of this match with Aurelei down and out. Whether she wins and I have to attack her still after that match is done and over with, or if I win and she is just down and out from a good a** kicking. I will shut her up once and for all. I am not here to make friends with anyone, if it happens so be it. Aurelei said it best though. There will be no friendship coming from this match on Sunday. The fact that she thought the need to say that just shows how slow she is. I am not gunning to be her friend, in the past, present, or future. Aurelei is nothing to me and she will remain nothing. Oh god if I was ever forced to team up with her I would turn my back on her in a heart beat.”

“I could see you doing that. One second you are acting all nice just to play with her, let her think things will be okay in the match, and then she turns her back and you are no where to be found when she needs you. Or better yet, you would be right there, holding your hand out for the tag, only as she goes to reach your hand you would pull it away and jump off the apron, and while she was all staring you down her opponents would take her out. Nice. That would be another loss under your belt though.

As Adrean was mentioning both scenarios Kelsia seemed to have been imagining it in her head. The corners of her lips curled up into that sadistic smile she got every now and again. Oh yes, she would love to come across that opportunity down the line.

“If only things were that easy. There would be no way I would get that lucky to have a match where I was teamed with that b*tch. It’s okay though. I have this match and that is enough. I will get to take out everything I have on her. Not only that but I have plenty of pent up energy for Alexa, I am sure if worse came to worse I could bring some of that out onto Aurelei.”

“Aurelei, you wanted me to take notes during your little promo? Sorry dear, I did not have a pen. Don’t worry. I am all geared up and ready to go for our match this weekend. Once this carpet is installed, then the three of us here have a flight to get ready for. I will be in Detroit this weekend. Have no fear in that. Not only will I be there but I am going to be bringing more then 100% just so I can take you out.”

“You want me to come to the ring wanting that title that you covet? So be it. If you think that is the only way I will beat you in this match then I will come to the ring wanting that title. I am not going to want it just to get it away from you. No I want it now to show that I am one of the best. I do deserve to be here, and I will be the one that everyone is coming after. I have no doubt in my mind of my abilities in the ring and out. For that reason I am not worried about this match. If I worry myself over it then all that I will be going is gearing me up for a loss. No I will come into this match with a clear head. At least it will be clear of everything but my hatred for you, that way there will be no problems. You see Aurelei; this match is more then just a match to me. It is my chance to ring your little neck. The referee had better be on his A game when it comes to the two of us being in the ring. If he slips, I can not guarantee that I will not throw an illegal choke in there. I can not guarantee that I will not deliver a hair pull backbreaker. Oh yes Aurelei, this match will be fun. I plan to tear you to pieces. This ring is not about the men. This company is not about the men. The Women are coming to take over, and it will start with me tearing you apart this Sunday at Revelation. Pack up and make sure you are ready. I know I will be, and Aurelei, one more thing.”

She turned from the work she was going, the pile of broken tile was surrounding her as she had been hammering away at it the whole time she was speaking. Looking right into the camera she smiled before a fade seemed to take place making everything dark around Kelsia..

“Good luck in the match, you might need it.”

With that the feed ended. Now it was a matter of getting the carpet in and the tile out, of course not in that order. Then off to Detroit to take care of business. What a fun night this was going to be.
