::The camera’s attention, post-match, returns to the locker room area…specifically the private accommodations afforded the current ACW World Women’s Champion.  After the previous week’s incident’s she felt it best to avoid walking the hall’s this week just so she would not have any encounters with anyone. Mayhap that is why the World Women’s Champion was now found in her locker room. Black jeans were tightly fit against her skin and the soles of her white sneakers were planted firmly on the floor. Elbow’s rested on her knees and her head in her hands. The camera in the doorway was not even noticed by her. Words were heard but from the look’s of it, no one was around.::

Kelsia: “I know that, but you do not know them like I do. I have seen what they can do my whole life.”

::A pause followed and Kelsia’s hands moved, fingers raking through her hair as she went and sat up turning her head to the seat next to her where her companion was seen sitting. The shirt Kelsia was wearing now seen was white with black lettering. The phrase… ‘I do what the voices in my head say’ was written across and everyone already knew how true of a statement that was.::

Kelsia: “I will finish them off, once the opportunity arises.” 

::Another pause but before Kelsia could speak again there was a sound coming from behind the camera. The view panned back, more then likely from the camera man backing up. Tony and Adrean Black were sliding past the camera man and into the locker room. Kelsia stood up quickly staring them both down, but she did not advance. That was all Tony and Adrean… slowly inching closer to her on either side.::

Adrean: “What happened? You were just talking about finishing someone off a few seconds ago were you not?”

 

::A smirk was laid across the lips of Kelsia’s former valet.::

Tony: “Even last week you were running your mouth. Open up Kels, tell us how you feel? Show us what you really want.”

::It was all a game to Tony and Adrean and it was obvious as they inched closer. Kelsia stepped back an inch but was against the wall and unable to go anywhere else. Tony stayed back and Adrean inched the rest of the way. A hand came and slapped palm down on the wall against Kelsia’s head and she was seen flinching as Adrean leaned in and whispered, but his words were picked up from the sound equipment. ::

Adrean: “Really soon. Time is short, use it wisely.”

::Backing away he turned and headed out the door. Tony, who had always been the leader out of T&A followed Adrean out and stopped at the door. Looking back at Kelsia he tilted his head before his words were heard as well.::

Tony: “No need to advertise it.”

::Nothing else was needing to be said as he too vanished from the screen. Kelsia was seen against the wall shaking and taking a breath as she calmed down. All of a sudden her head snapped towards the doll and a snarl came across her face. The doll mocking her for not finishing off Tony and Adrean when the chance had just clearly been available was not sitting with her well. Moving from the wall her hand flew out and the back of it hit the doll sending it flying across the room.::

Kelsia: “Who the hell asked you?!"

 

::From the other side of the room, off-camera, comes a familiar, bone-chilling voice…one that gets Kelsia, and perhaps her doll’s, attention mighty fast.::

 

Aurelei: "Sometimes I wonder just how you survive week to week without someone taking advantage of your glaring weaknesses and putting you to rest, Kelsia.  Maybe there issuch a thing as miracles."

 

::The camera swings around to catch sight of a dressed-for-combat Lady Death as she saunters into the room, her white eyes wholly focused on the current champion.  Aurelei’s eyes flicker to the belt, then back to the champion, and her calm expression hardens considerably.::

 

Kelsia: "Miracles... like the one that happened when Aurora took the title from you months ago?"

 

Aurelei: “That was more like bad luck and bad timing."

 

Kelsia: "Funny...that's what I would have said about that attack Cynthia sent your way last week."

 

::Aurelei audibly snarls behind blue-painted lips and takes a few steps towards Kelsia as her horrid grimace contorts into a psychotic smile.::

Aurelei: "So very true...but bad luck for whom?"

 

::Holding her ground she stepped forward closing the space between them. Her hand raised and a finger extended so that the tip ran along the bruised flesh on Aurelei's face.::

Kelsia: "Look's like it was for you now doesn't it?"

 

::Lady Death turns and snaps at that finger sharply...enough so that the camera's mike could hear the sound of her teeth clicking together...enough so that Vector snatched her hand back with a shocked expression followed by a difficult-to-read grin.::

Aurelei: "Looks can be deceiving.  Not unlike you carrying around a title that doesn't belong to you and claiming to be a champion...when both you and I know that it's bulls-censored-t."

 

::Snapping her hand back it came to rest at her side once more. Her lower lip moved inward as she bit on it for a moment in thought.::

Kelsia: "Until someone on this roster takes it from me...the title is mine. I am not claiming to be something I am not. That is something that is all you...Lady Death."

 

Aurelei: "Big words, Vector.  Bear in mind that if...a big damn if...you survive Aurora, Alexa and whatever other slovenly twit is tossed into the match at Hallow-Havok...you'll be paid a visit by me at Fall Fatale.  And unlike our match at Raining Blood, mercy won't be a factor."

 

Kelsia: "Forgive me Aurelei, but you are not going to intimidate me. Unlike everyone else here...to me, you will always be Phoenix. So why don't you fly away now, birdie? I have other things to attend to."

 

::Reaching up to grab Kelsia around the throat with one hand, Aurelei forces her back hard against the wall and brings up her other hand in the process, holding it over the champion's lips.  The Dark Mistress leans the full height and weight of her body in against the pinned Vector, her lips right up near the woman's ear as she breaths out a harsh, whispered message.::

Aurelei: "It's by sheer luck that you're still conscious right now, esemono..."  ::Another lapse into Japanese...::  "...and if I were you, I wouldn't push what little you have left if you want to hold my title any longer than a month."

::Aurelei snaps at the woman's ear closely enough that she gets another flinch out of Kelsia...then finishes her message.::

Aurelei: "I'm the only one who can set you free, Kelsia.  You can either continue to wallow in your painful mediocrity...or you can become the force you claim you already are.  Make your choice and make it soon.  Otherwise this little window of opportunity is going to crush your skull in."

 

::Letting go of the champion, Aurelei gives her an oddly endearing look...then sweeps out of the locker room like a shadow, leaving Vector to wonder just what she meant with those words. Kelsia watched as Aurelei left the room, her breathing was coming back to normal and her hues still lingered at the doorway. Again her head turned away only to look at the now fallen over doll.::

Kelsia: "Shut it. You don't need to have an answer to that. You’ve seen me watching her promos as of late...so you tell me...did it look like I enjoyed the way she handled me?"

::As if the doll responded with a yes, Kelsia smirked.::

Kelsia: "Enough said then."

 

RJ: “I still can’t get over her talking to that doll.  But whether she’s really that loopy or if it’s all a play, Kelsia’s in hot water from every direction.”

MS: “Lady Death is bad enough, but now she has those losers Tony and Adrean breathing down her neck.  I swear…what does it take to give those lumps a clue?”

RJ: “You should talk.”
