Her head was in a daze. Not only did she go through a hell of a match with Alexa and almost wind up back in the hospital because of it (she should be in the hospital now but she refused!) but she seen some footage during her interview that did not settle with her well. After leaving Yan on the floor she headed to her brother Donta's house and spent the night there so she would be able to have someone she trusted by her. At the same time, she was not sure who she could trust anymore. Donta himself said he could see where she was coming from, but she needed to see where Tony and Adrean were coming from too. That had the two of them arguing right then and there before she stormed into one of his vacant rooms and locked herself in there for the night. 



The next morning she woke and heard more then one voice coming from down stairs. Going out of the room and standing at the top of the steps she heard Donta talking to Anthony and Lance. That’s just what she needed right now. Shaking her head she threw her hair up before descending the stairs slowly and listening to what they had to say. As she came into view the conversation ended and she walked past them all towards the kitchen. When a camera, which her brother Anthony was holding was turned on it caught Kelsia sitting there at the island in the kitchen with a can of Pepsi in her hand. The can was sitting on the island but her hand was holding it still. Her hair was tied back in a lose pony tail that just fell down her back between her shoulders. A yellow sun dress covered her slender, yet muscular, form as she sat there lost in thought trying to ignore her brothers as they came to join her. 



She tilted her head down so she was staring at the earth toned titles that covered the island to match the earth toned walls within the kitchen. Hues came to close as her hands came together around that soda can which would be her kick of caffeine for the day. The material of the dress was seen moving slightly as she took a deep breath before raising her head up once more. Seeing the camera was on and rolling she ignored the fact that her brothers wanted to speak to her and instead addressed her opponent for the upcoming paper view.



“Come Trial by Honor it will be Kelsia Vector and Aurora Jansen in the ring going for the title that each Women in the division covet so much. Aurora, you are the champion for a reason. You won that title because you were the better women inBoston Massachusetts that night. Every time you get into the ring you show each of your opponents what drive you have, and whether you come out of it on top or not, you don’t let the win, or the loss get to you. You have proved that you deserve to wear that title around your waist.”



Kelsia moved her hands away from that opened can of soda and her palms came to rest on the tile as she pushed herself from the chair so she was now standing. Her foot rose to rest on the bottom bar of the chair causing her thigh to become more exposed then it already had been.



“As you can see Aurora, I have much on my mind at the current time, but I am going to try my best to push it aside and not let it interfere with our match this Sunday. I am doing this for two reasons Aurora. The first, and most important, you deserve to have my full attention this week, so I am going to give it to you. The second reason, and it is almost as important, is because I want a chance to be the women’s champion as well. I know it has been your dream to be the champion, and you will not let the belt go easily, but I am willing to fight hard to get it.” 



She stopped for the moment thinking about everything Aurora had to say during her airing and a soft smile came across her face. The reason for the smile you wonder? The fact that from what Yan had showed her was Tony and Adrean wanting to deal with Roric, and knowing Roric was with Aurora at the airport was enough to let her know that he was fine. The way she seen it, if anything happened to anyone at the hands of Tony or Adrean; it was over her head…and therefore would be her fault. 



Turning her back to the island her hands came to rest on it behind her and her muscles were forced into action as she lifted herself until her rear came to land upon the cool surface. Turning to the side she grabbed a hold of that can of soda and lifted the can to her lips as her head titled back slightly for her to take a nice sip before placing the can down once more and turning towards the camera again.



“Aurora I agree with you completely, we need to talk. What we have done before now is anything but such, and that is mostly on me. You say not much has changed, that I agree with as well. Neither one of us has changed the way we feel towards one another, at the same time, the truth on my end has come out. Hopefully that interview that was aired will clear things up enough to get passed what has been between us before. I am not going to pull any shadiness this week, unless it becomes warranted. This is not personal in my eyes. It has moved past that point Aurora, now it is for the title, for the chance to be called the ACW Women’s Champion.”



She shifted where she was sitting and crossed her left leg over her right before her hands came to rest across her knee as she sat as calm as ever. She was about to speak once more before her Brother Anthony’s voice came from behind the camera.



“Kelsia, Aurora had mentioned this being her dream to have that title around her waist, she mentioned two weeks ago that she would not let it go, what do you have to say in regards to that?”



When she heard him speaking she was sure it was going to be something about Tony and Adrean and the last thing she wanted was for it to have to deal with the two of them right now. When it was about her current match and nothing of anything else she was surprised.



“She said it was her dream to be the Women’s Champion, and I can respect that, she earned it. At the same time, she is not the only one with that dream. Every woman in this company most likely has had that dream. She does not want to let go of that title just as Aurelei did not want to, but when Aurora got the one two three, Aurelei did not have a choice in the matter. If I get the three counts on Aurora she will not have a choice but to watch as I walk away with the title in my hand. No one in the women’s division should get too comfortable with the title in their grasp, because there is plenty of competition to come along and take it from under them.”



“Are you ready to learn some more move sets to make sure you are really ready for the competition that Aurora is?”



“Speaking of that, I am ready for it. Give me a minute and let me go get changed so we can get to work on that.”



Kelsia slid off the island and came to land with ease on her bare feet. Anthony kept the camera on her until she vanished from the room then turned it off while they waited. 



When the camera came back on again they were outside and Kelsia was sitting at the table finishing off her caffeine fix before they would get into the ring and work on some new things. Instead of the yellow sun dress, which was more then appropriate for the weather outside, she was seen wearing a pair of white jogging shorts with a yellow tank top, both of which would give her plenty of room to move around in.



“Aurora, I know you want to hold onto that title with everything you have in you, and as much as you want to hold onto it, I want to take it. Not because you are the one holding it, but because I feel I have the right to be called the women’s champion. The only thing that will show if I have that right is to pin you in the ring and walk out of the Time Warner Cable Arena in Asheville North Carolina with that title in my hand. I know the only way I will accomplish that is to work hard this week and make sure I am more then up to par to compete with you. I plan on giving you nothing but my best in that ring and more then that. You will come to see that I am not joking when I say that I want to be the women’s champion. I already know you want that title, you have that title, and you will not let it go easily. I am ready to go through any obstacle that stands in my way…right now, you are the only obstacle.”



Kelsia stood once more, this time her foot which was now covered in a black Reebok sneaker, came to rest on the bench of that table and she leaned forward stretching out her leg. Her left leg came to stretch as she did this, before going and doing the same with the other leg. To make sure she was stretching out plenty she motioned for Lance to help her out. He came to stand behind her as she lifted her foot to rest on the table before leaning over and letting her chest come to touch her leg. After a moment she moved slightly so she could lean down even more, to the side of her leg, which is where Lance came in. Once she hit her resistance spot he pressed his hands on her back lowering her even more and holding her there for a moment. A nod of her head told him to press down even more and he did so before stopping and holding there again. As she started to lift herself back up he moved his hands away as she replaced her leg with the other and repeated the notion. Standing up straight once more her right arm came to bend behind her head and Lance pulled her hand lower when she could not go any further to stretch her arm out. Again the same was done with the other hand before she was feeling loose enough.



“Thanks. Now where was I? Oh yes, you say you were meant to be the Women’s Champion. I do not doubt that one bit. You are the Women’s champion, but like they say, everything that goes up must come down. You are the champion now, but at some point someone will defeat you for that title. I can not guarantee that it will be me this Sunday, but no doubt in my mind, if it’s not me, I will keep climbing the ladder to get back to the top and go for the title again. You have been holding that title for a month now and pride and honor for that title are there, so is the will to fight to keep it, I see it all from you. Can you see from me how much I want that title around my own waist though? You have already made me a believer Aurora Jansen, so because of that, I will bring you more then I have before to make you see that I am not just someone who will be tossed to the side. You have seen my fire, you have seen what I can do in the ring, but can you see how strong my will to win is?”



Kelsia let that statement soak in for a moment and walked away from the boys, her brothers. Bending back, her hands came to touch ground on the fresh cut grass before she flipped back. Rolling her neck around a bit to make sure she was loose she got a running start before doing a cartwheel, round off, backhand spring combination just to make sure she was really ready to get into the ring with her brothers. Standing there for a moment she made sure she was not going to lose her balance when she started walking. Feeling fine she headed back towards the men and a soft nod told them she was about ready. 



“I know what it’s like to be hungry for more Aurora, and I promise I will feed that hunger. I will lay it all out on the table, and I can not wait to see what you do in return. I know that if I lose this match I am going to drop down a few notches on the contender ladder and I am not ready to go lower right now. Like I said, I am not going to let anything interfere with this match. No mind games or foolishness, just you and I in the ring doing what we do best and trying to come out of the match as the Women’s Champion. So don’t think for one second that I will be bringing anything but my all to the ring on Sunday, expect the unexpected Aurora, because I will be bringing more to the ring now then ever before. Like I said, I plan on learning more throughout the week so that when I come to meet with you for the title I will be giving you plenty. The thing I am finding a bit disturbing is you claim to not be disrespecting my talents and at the same time you keep speaking as if you already won this match. Aurora, the match has yet to happen. I am glad to see you are so confident in yourself, but you are leaving no room for a loss on your end. If I do beat you in the ring, what then Aurora? So do me a favor and keep your focus on taking me over the edge. I will keep my focus on getting back over the edge if you take me there.”



“I am glad you have decided to put everything thus far between us aside, if even just for the week. I meant what I said Aurora. I am sorry I messed up…you and Roric…I can see that you really care for him. I will leave that be though, this is not about you and Roric, not about you and Snake… it never was. This is about you and I, and the bonus in this match is the Championship title. That statement was not said to throw you off, it was said because it was the truth. Bad timing perhaps, but how else would I get so close to you without either of us worrying about the others fist coming at our faces?”



Kelsia got up and walked over towards the ring before pulling herself up onto the apron and turning around hooking her arms onthe ropes. 



“You want this win pure Aurora? I want the same thing. It will be a pure win, but please get it out of your head that it will be you walking away with that win. Have more faith in me dear heart because I have it in you. I am not standing her saying that I will walk out the champion, I am saying I may… I am leaving it open for you to win as well. You should not give your hopes up for a win so easily because if I steal that win out from under you, then you will fall harder. Even you said it; you will not hold the belt forever. It seems to me that the only reason you don’t want to lose it is because it is I you will be going up against. What was your statement? It won’t be Sunday night at Trial by Honor, and it won’t be you. Yes that was it. The statement alone says it all. You don’t want it to be me who takes that title from you. Tell me something Aurora, do you think yourself better then me? Do you think I am not worth of being the Women’s Champion? Explain your reasoning behind all this too me Aurora. I would love to hear it, I would love to listen.”



All but Kelsia’s feet were out of view as the camera was set on the apron for Anthony to roll into the ring. For a brief second even her feet left the view as she flipped back into the ring. The camera was picked up and once more focused on Kelsia again. Now she was walking to the corner of the ring and standing there leaning back. 



“I have never once said that you do not bring everything to the ring every time Aurora! Those words would never leave my lips, but just remember this; everything you have might not be enough. There will come a time and place where everything you have will fail you. I am hoping that my all is enough to overcome everything you have! I know how serious you are, I know you want to keep that title more then anything, but don’t count on that happening. I plan on walking into the arena a number one contender, and walking out a Champion. Both of those things can not happen, so come Sunday it will be time to see which outcome will be favored. There can only be one Women’s Champion, and I am ready for that to be me. You think just because you keep picking up the wins on me that you know everything about me? That is far from the truth Aurora. Every dance we have had was different in many ways. This dance is just the same in that sense. It will be different then all the others combined. There will be new moves and new outcomes. You have been a great Champion, but I believe your time as the Women’s Champion is up. I will be learning, I have been learning and I have been listening as well. It will all show this Sunday in the ring. You bring me more then you have before, because I will do more then just try, I will do. Yes I did just say that I will walk out the Champion, but then again, you have been saying nothing but that about yourself correct?”



Kelsia moved as the others were coming towards the ring. Wanting to get a last minute prep together she came off the rope and headed to the other side before jumping on the middle rope and flipping back to land on her feet. Satisfied with the outcome she stopped and turned towards the camera once more. 



“There will be no Roric in my corner, you are right, as there will be no Snake in yours. Tell me something Aurora, do you mean there will be no Snake as in he will not be your partner, or that he will not be down at the ring what so ever? You see, I am hoping this will just be between us. I will not have Adrean or Tony at ringside. I hope that you will give me the same courtesy that I am giving you and come down yourself. As for what happens in that ring? Bring on the ankle lock, bring on the Killswitch, even the Dreamcatcher, and bring it all on. I will be ready for everything you have Aurora Jansen. I just hope you are ready for me.”



Kelsia gave an up nod letting Anthony know she was done, and with that he cut the feed.
