“What the fuck is going on here?”

I didn’t even realize I screamed that out until a few eyes looked my way in the park. Whoops? I guess someone sitting on the bench alone screaming out would seem a little odd. I smiled softly before getting to a stand and following the path that was leading into the woods. At least in here I could talk to myself without everyone looking at me strangely.

“Not only did that bastard get Heather to turn her back on me… But… Chase joining The Syndicate?! How in the blue hell…”

I wanted to scream… needed to scream, but I couldn’t. Why? I didn’t know.

“I can’t think about that shit right now. Not after being tossed into a title match this week.  So much is going through my mind, and I don’t have the time to think about any of it. I guess I should be happy that I know Corey would never join forces with them… then again, I thought that about the others.

Fuck it.

Corey Black, Vulnero, and Dynamite. This week it looks like I will be stepping into the ring with the three of you and you know what… it looks like we have all been going through some shit lately. The only thing that means for us all… is a lot of pain in this coming match.

Corey and I go way back. We have had our ups and our downs. Vulnero, Dynamite. I have come to cross paths with you both in the ring before, and therefore we should have no surprises in the ring… that is… unless there are more surprises to pop up along the way, and quite frankly I for one can not take any more surprises. I…”

Shut it Kaylyn! Just stop. I really need to find someone to talk to. But whom? Who could understand what I am going through? Who can I trust to not turn their back on me?

“NO ONE! I CAN’T TRUST ANYONE ANYMORE! I am sick and fucking tired of this shit. In this business… there are always alliances going on. Always side being taken… and you know what… I am tired of picking sides. Don’t get me wrong… come Gears of War.. I want nothing more than to end the Syndicate once and for all. I have faith in Norman, and those he is grouping together… so when the time comes, I will be in IWF’s corner. Not for Norman or anyone else. I will be doing it for myself. Just to see the Synicate crumble and fall.

As for right now though… I won’t be trusting anyone. Vulnero, Dymanite, Corey… you three are not easy opponents at all. Hell, no one here really is. This will be an all out war on who wants to walk away with the Warzone championship the most.

When I stepped foot into the Internet Wrestling Federation, I never had any thoughts of being in a title match… never thought it would ever happen, nor did I care…

However, I have to be doing something right seeing as though that is exactly where I find myself this week.

Dynamite, your battle came to narrow out last week at Japanese Rising, but I am sure it is far from over. The question is, can you get that out of your mind long enough to keep your eye on the prise? Sure, we all have this to worry about… but can you do it?

Vulnero, you are done your battle with Mez… but you’re stepping into the same ring as Corey and Myself. You have proven you are all for The Syndicate… but now… are you so sure you made the right decision? Are you sure you will make it out of the ring this week and still be able to compete come Gears? You have to wonder whats going to happen to you. You know that Corey and I will be gunning to put you through hell, and the question is… can you take it? Sure, it might not seem like much coming from someone as small as myself saying it… but you know I have never backed down from a fight. I went through hell last week with Brooks, but I still was standing as Japanese Rising went off the air while you and Brooks along with the rest of the Syndicate goons, which includes my client Chase, were backing away.

I got up, back into the fight. Nothing can keep me down. Not a Your Foretold Destiny… Not being choked out.. NOTHING. I will keep fighting until the life is literally out of me once and for all… and No one will be doing that any time soon. I can promise you that.

What you have to worry about… is The Syndicate. You have seen what they do when people are not up to par. You seen E-day get tossed aside, and you have to wonder… if you lose this week… will the same happen to you? Remember… You are stepping into the ring with a female as one of your opponents, it wont look to well if you don’t come out on top. Just saying. I’d actually sacrific my chances of walking away with the title just too keep you from making a pin. Good luck trying Vulnero… You will need it.

That brings me to the champion… one Corey Black. Corey… I know what you are going through right now. Price… now Rick Mad.. You got a lot on your plate. I also know you’re a fighter and you don’t let anything else come in the way of that. With that being said… you also know I don’t let anything stand in my way if I want something bad enough.  We have put the past behind us Corey, and I am hoping it’s going to stay there. We have had some amazing matches in the past, and I know we can do it again. Just like I am sure we can be on he same page with where the Syndicate stands in everything.”

Just mentioning The Syndicate again got me fumed and I sent my fist flying without thinking.

“YO! What the hell was that for!?”

I looked over at the guy leaning against a tree holding his mouth. Raising a brow I caught myself smirking.

“Trees don’t hit back.”

“You’re crazy lady!”

I watched as the man started heading away rather quickly and I laughed. I actually laughed.

“I might just very well be.”

I kept a smile on my face as I walked away. Maybe things wouldn’t be so bad after all.

“Warzone has to have a champion when the day is done. Now to see who it will be. Good luck boys… you will need it. However, no one needs it more than you, Vulnero.”

I laughed softly before skipping down the path going deeper into the woods. It was time to play.

-Journal Entry-

Gears of War has got to be in the back of my mind for now. This week I have to step into the ring against three strong competitors.  I have got to focus on what this match has on the line before worrying about he Syndicate and going right for Vulnero. That there could cost me everything.

I can’t let this war with the syndicate consume me. I can not spend all my time focused on them and let it take over and cost me everything I have worked towards in this company. I have got to get my head in the game. And fast.

But how do I get my head in the game when all I can think about is Tyler and Heather working together. Chase joining sides with the Syndicate. Got damn it. He is my client! Wait… he IS my client… this could work to my advantage. Oh yes. It’s been great doing business with you Chase.
