Two weeks in a row she was made a fool of by her former friends, and partners in crime. One thing she could not grasp is why did they choose now to return? Thoughts, as always, consumed Hot Chocolate as she sat there bringing the bottle to her lips once more. Those plush petals wrapped around the tip of that bottle of Smirnoff as she tilted it back finishing the beverage off. Setting the now empty bottle down she motioned for the tender.

Kevin Russo: “Another Ms. Vector?”

Kelsia: “No, instead, get me a fuzzy navel and a double Sambuca.”

The mixing of drinks was ill advised but he did as asked. After all, Kelsia was a regular here. He knew her limits as well as she knew them herself. Anyway, mixing of the drinks was something Kels had always done. The bottle of Peach Schnapps fit nicely into Kevin’s hand as he lifted, and poured, a greater amount then normal into the glass before setting the bottle back in it’s assigned line up. A small touch of orange juice topped it off before the glass was taken and placed in front of it’s requestor. Walking away again he returned with two more glasses and the bottle of the colorless Italian anise flavored liqueur. The eight ounce glass was placed down and the beverage of choice was poured into the shot glass before twice being dumped into the larger glass below. A nod came from the World Women’s Champion as she slid a twenty across the counter. The money was left there as he put the liquor back once more before moving again towards the Champions direction. 

KR: “You sure you want me to do this?” 

He asked as he leaned across the counter. 

Kelsia: “You know how things are, and you have an out-of-business opinion on matters. I am sure of it.”

Her long digits cradled the glass as she lifted the double to her lips and let the black licorice tasting liquid slide down her throat with ease until the glass was empty and being placed down on the counter once more. A satisfied look came across her before she nodded once more letting him know he could start with the questions. 

She had asked him over the phone to look over her opponents promotions this week and come up with any questions he could think of regarding what they said, did not say… or anything that would answer questions regarding his opponents in general and their match that was up and coming in just a few short days.

KR: “Okay then. Tell me, I looked at both promotions like you asked and what comes to mind first is Aurora’s confidence that she will come out as the next Champion. I am sure you have words regarding that.”

A smirk came from Kelsia as her hands rested on the counter in front of her.

Kelsia: “See Kevin, that is one thing about Aurora. She has plenty of confidence. Her problem is that she has too much confidence though. She seems to think that she can say she will win the title over everyone else that will be in the ring with her, and in reality she has no idea what will really happen in that ring. She might have wins over all of us in the ring, but the fact of the matter is this… She keeps forgetting that three other people will want to take her out of that ring as quickly as possible. Before I go on with that… I know everyone will be trying to get me out of the match as soon as they can. The sooner they get me out of the ring the faster they know that there will be another champion once the match is over. Aurora needs to remember that I do not go over the edge as easily as she keeps hoping I will. And if I do get taken over the edge… Never count me out.”

Kevin got a smile of his own as Kelsia finished speaking and a look around the bar had him turning back to her as the few that were there were content with themselves. 

KR: “I know you seen Aurora’s little display of cards, your thoughts on that and your placement in the whole arrangement?” 

Kelsia: “The cards.” A laugh came forth from hot chocolate as she spoke. “Forgive me, I never knew Aurora was so creative. So she can build a display from cards. Big friggen deal. Is that supposed to impress? No, it was done as a statement! And what is that statement? That she will be the one that knocks the rest of us down? Whatever she was getting across… its nothing to me. She wants to be in the display, even if just the story teller? That is fine.. But when a building falls to the ground… the whole building gets destroyed. The placements mean absolutely nothing to me. All it means is that she knows there will be more then one of us in the ring.. She knows it will be a fight, what she fails to realize is she will not be coming out on top, because being part of the display as she put it… she will get crushed by the rest of us in that ring.”

KR: “I know you have to have some feelings about this match in general, I mean… it is your first title defense, and Aurora chose to bring others into the match…”

Kelsia: “ She calls it being fair… I call it her being a fool. She must have been out of her f-censor-king mind if she thought for a second that I would not fight to keep this title around my waist.” As she mentioned the title she looked to the wall next to her where the title was sitting. Not only was the title on the counter… but her little friend was sitting with the title across her lap. Kelsia stared for a long moment… but she was not staring at the title…nor the doll… she was staring at the phone placed just on the counter in front of the aforementioned objects. Getting lost for a second she shook her head before getting back to answering the question. “So she brought two more into the match. Alexa Rose, and Tee Voland… and she still thinks she will come out with the title around her waist? She has a new thing coming to her there. This is MY title defense… and this is HER rematch… Hell! Now, you might as well say that two rematches are getting taken care of in one shot. Alexa is in this match as well, so as far as I am concerned… this is her rematch.”

KR: “You mention the title… Aurora stated more then once that she will be the first to hold the title under both names. How does it feel to know that you won’t have that opportunity?”

Kelsia: “Hold it right there! You see, that is where everyone is wrong. I don’t care when the announcement was made to change the title… but the title that I was given in my hands when I beat Alexa in the ring was the Women’s Championship title… Heather Lee said Your new Women’s Champion is Kelsia Vector… so I was the last one to hold the Women’s Championship title, and I was the FIRST to hold the World Women’s title. Technically speaking I am the first to hold both titles. I might not have had a reign under the older title before it was changed, but the fact of the matter is I held it. Now, I am the one who has the World Women’s Title… An upgrade to the title once a real Champion came around. Don’t get me wrong.. There was a good Champion out there at one point in time… but that was gone… and now.. I am going to change the way the women in the division are looked at. I will be the one to set the standards and the new title reign under this title. This is all me!”

KR: “She mentioned that title you hold being hers as well.”

Kelsia: “You know what…” Kelsia took in a deep breath trying to keep herself calm. “I am sick and tired of hearing all these women that lose the title calling it their title. It is not around your waist anymore. It does not have your name on it anymore. Get the hell over it already. The title goes and belongs to whomever is the current champion. Right now I am the title holder. It is MY title. Not Alexa’s Not Aurelei’s.. and it damn sure is not Aurora’s. They need to take a step back. If they want to call it their title again… then they need to win it back. Until then they need to shut the hell up about it being THEIR title, because it is anything but that.”

KR: “Strong words there.”

Kelsia: “Sorry Kevin, I am sick and tired of hearing everyone calling it their title. The title does not belong to any one person, the sooner the women in the division learn that… the better.”

KR: “Aurora mentioned examples being for now and insults being for later… what is your take on that?”

Kelsia: “Seriously… did you really listen to what she was saying?” Kelsia let her hand slide over to the phone and she took it within her digits before holding it against her palm as her digits circled the phone within her hand. “She spoke of not insulting but in the same sentence she is insulting Tee… are we not supposed to see what she is doing there? The women has seriously got her panties all tied up in a bunch and she needs to work on getting them unraveled before its too late.”

A finger was held up as Kevin went to help another customer that had entered the bar. Kelsia smiled and the camera stayed on her as he walked off doing his job. Her gaze again returned to the phone in her hand and she flipped it open before dialing a number. Her finger lingered over the talk button before she thought against it and closed the phone placing it on the counter once more. Taking up the mixed drink in front of her she took it in full before laying the glass back on the counter and seeming satisfied once more… but for how long? 

Kelsia: “Material gains… money. She thinks she knows me.” Kelsia had started talking again and Kevin was still on the other end of the bar. “No, that is not true, she said it as if it was though. I could care less about materialistic crap. I said from the beginning I did not want the title… but, now that I have it… I do not want to let it go.” Another pause and Kelsia looked up seeing Kevin heading back towards them. “Quiet now. He is coming back, I have to focus again.”

When Kevin came back he apologized for his absence and seeing that all was well he was ready to get back to business.

KR: “Your opponent Aurora mentioned you bring in her path to something she wants, and that being the only reason she might have something against you. How true is that?”

Kelsia: “I can not speak for Aurora, but in my personal opinion I believe that there is more to it. I took out her sister… so she is saying she holds nothing against me for that? Please, who is she trying to fool here? NO one will be broken, bleeding or destroyed, again.. Who does she think she is kidding? We have all seen her in the ring. Anyone believing that bull coming from her mouth should be ashamed of themselves. Aurora needs to grow up and really speak the truth. If I say something.. I mean it. I don’t sit here saying that I will not cheat to get a win, because it would not be true. I will do anything that it will take to get a win, cheat, destroy… anything I have to.”

KR: “Yes, Aurora brought out the brass knucks that you used against her even…”

Kelsia: “She want’s me to be ashamed of it. Why should I be? This is the Wrestling business… what are we here for? Entertainment and wins right? If I have to cheat my way to a win then so be it. It is still a win in the records no matter how it came about. Hell… she wants to bring up the knucks? Tell me Aurora… how is that win by DQ sitting with you?”

KR: “Speaking of Disqualifications.”

Kelsia: “I already know what you are going to say. I agree, Aurora messed up big time here because I can get myself disqualified and then they will all be screwed out of the title shot. I would not hold it pass myself, but at the same time, I will only do that upon an extreme case. If I see myself losing.. And the opportunity to DQ myself is within range… It will happen.”

KR: “That is one thing I always liked about you. Not afraid to tell it like it is. However… the brass knuckles she said were for Alexa to use after the match…”

Kelsia: “If Alexa needs to let out some pent up frustration on me and needs the knuckles to do so then so be it.. But I know she does not need it. Aurora needs to watch herself there. She just pretty much said Alexa needed a weapon to be able to handle me in a sense. I know Alexa can match up against me in many ways. I don’t hold anything pass anyone that will be in the ring this Sunday.”

KR: “Moving on for a minute to Alexa since you brought her up. She mentioned you being a soon to be former champion… these women all have it out to make sure that you are not champion anymore it seems.”

Kelsia: “Alexa, much like Aurora, knows she can beat me in the ring. That there is getting her to become over confident in her chances this week. They all seem to be forgetting that this is a numbers game this time around.”

KR: “And the numbers are stacked against you…”

Kelsia: “This much I know. Just like the others, when this match first starts we will each have a one in four shot of winning the World Women’s Championship. From there one will get taken out of the picture, and then it will be a one in three chance… from there its fifty fifty for the last two competitors. I plan on being one of those last two. If I make it to the end, and retain my title… that much it better for me. But at the same time… If I retain the title or not… everyone knows it is Aurelei that they will be facing if holding this title come Fall Fatale… and does anyone really want to get into the ring with her?”

KR: “Alexa seems to want to.”

Kelsia: “That there shows how stable Alexa Rose is. Anyway. As far as Alexa goes.. She had a few things to say this past week as well. Is it anything that I have not heard before? For the most part no, however there was one thing that struck me. She assumes that it will be her and Aurora in the ring when it comes down to the last two standing. I want to laugh at that. Tell myself she was mistaken in her words. However it was clear as day that it is truly how she feels. All I have to say to that is watch and learn. Every women knows that once you have that title around your waist you will fight harder then ever to keep it there. I am just the same in that aspect. So Alexa is also mistaken much because she is also in this little fantasy world. She thinks she can make sure the appropriate party comes out on top. Please. There is restrictions now on who is appropriate to hold the World Women‘s title? Funny thing that, because everything that Alexa wants that title to represent… its not going to be that way because its under my guard right now.”

KR: “Alexa made a point in there though. She mentioned how she never tapped out, but yes, you did win the title. What you did after was shocking to the whole world. You tried to vacate the title and when that did not work out you went to hand it over as collateral… what was that about?”

Kelsia: “I did not want to keep the title, I wanted to win it so that it was taken from Alexa. I wanted to show her that she was not a real champion. I did that, but the vacating part was held off as I was forced to keep the belt. I must say it has grown on me, however that is beside the point. Me handing it over as collateral was to send a message to Sarah. If you mess with me, it will come back to haunt you. I just did not go after her family to send that message.” 

Again Kelsia’s gaze went to the phone that was sitting there and her gaze stayed there while the next question was asked.

KR: “She asked why are you fighting so hard for the title, and why did you fight so hard for it if you never wanted it. The one question was just answered, you said that you did not want her to keep it, but why still fight for it?”

Kelsia: “Like I said, it grew on me.” Kelsia looked back up again and away from the phone.

KR: “And the other comments… you playing crazy and also having a small heart. Any comment?”

Kelsia: “Anyone can think someone is crazy because of the way they act, but is it really crazy or just different? I am different then they are, I get that, but to say I am crazy… that is a bit much. As for me having such a small heart? It’s a tough world out there isn’t it?”

KR: “And the last opponent in the match… Tee Voland.”

Kelsia: “Yes, Tee. She has been quiet thus far, but like they always say, it’s the quiet ones you have to watch out for. Everyone keeps calling Tee a Wild Card. Saying she does not deserve a shot at the title. She won that match last week fair and square. Just because they don’t like who won they have to show their hatred? I have never gotten to face Tee in the ring, but from what I have seen she is a true competitor. She will fight as best as she can to stay in the match and come out on top just like she did last week. And tell me something… last week was the same type of match as this week… so counting Tee out off the bat would be stupid on anyone’s part. Hello… let’s not forget here… she is a Voland.”

A nod came from Kevin and again he had to stop her so that he could help a customer. While he was gone she noticed he would be a while so she picked up the phone again and dialed the number just like she did before but this time she actually went and hit the talk button. When hearing the other on the line pick up Kelsia froze and was not sure what to say. 

? : "The gold's more important to you than you thought, isn't it? It had damn well better be...I don't need my time wasted."

A long silence fell on both ends as Kelsia thought of what she was doing. A deep breath would be heard as she exhaled before speaking. 

Kelsia: "Yes, it is more important then I thought it was going to be. I will be damned if I let any of them have it." She kept it to herself that she would rather just hand it to Aurelei then lose it to those she was going to be facing in the ring.

? : "Then you're aware of what will be necessary to ensure that you keep it. What kinds of...preparation...you're going to have to endure?" Right about here is where one would expect to hear the smirk in Aurelei's tone, the underlying dark pleasure she got from having someone under her thumb. But her tone remained business-like instead. No taunting, no b.s.

As much as she didn't want to admit she knew what she was getting into. Biting on her lip she was silent once more before speaking.

Kelsia: "I know what I will have to go through. Like I said, I don't want to give any of them this title. I am ready to endure whatever to have a better chance at keeping what is currently in my possession." She avoided completely calling the title hers knowing who she was speaking with.

Aurelei: "Understood. You have two hours to get ready. I know where you are...and that's where I'll be when time's up. Get ready." 

The phone came to click on the other end and Kelsia knew that Aurelei was done with the conversation in full. Closing the phone she slowly went to put it down on the counter. Just as slow her head turned towards the doll sitting there behind the title.

Kelsia: “What do you mean I just sold my soul to the devil?”

Before anything else could be said or shown the allotted time had run out and the screen went to a blank before the ACW logo came across.
