“I really don’t like her….”
Ana sighed and typed away on her phone sitting at her desk at VWS offices in the penthouse of Athos Corp’s HQ. She sets her iPhone down and looks up at me slowly. She raises an eyebrow and looks around. “Were you talking to me?” I throw my hands in the air and stomp around to the front of her desk. “Is there anyone else here Ana?”
She scoffs and goes back to her organizing and texting and e-mailing. I lean forward on her desk, reaching over her phone and pulling it down from her eyeline. Ana looks annoyed and gets to her feet. “And what do you want me to do Amber?. You’re teaming with her…”
“Er change the match?”
Ana deadpans me, her resting bitchface even more evident. “Change the match? The match that has been advertised as one of the biggest on the show?” I sighed loudly and stood up folding my arms. I got her point but, damn. “You’re going to team up with Sarah Twilight. You’re going to beat some sense into my idiot niece and Kate Steele…..fun will be had by all…”
I swallowed hard and folded my arms still feeling uneasy about the situation. I cleared my throat and stared Ana right in the eye. “So you want me to carry your new bestie?”
Ana narrows her eyes and steps forward getting right in my face. Her anger overflowing as her voice changed from her usual arrogance to a low menacing growl. “Bestie?...you think I like that…thing?....I hate Sarah Twilight Amber…..” She takes a break and her fists ball up. She breathes deep and turns away from me calming down.
“I dislike you. We know this, but her?....I hate her” I stayed still and looked down with a sigh. “Then why push her like this?” Ana stays silent for a moment, she turned and pulled out a poster for the show. She slid it towards me with a grin. “Because she sells tickets. Just like you. And everyone I dislike and hate are now bound to me via legal contracts….”
Ana continued with a small grin. “But she will learn, just like you did and your sister will. You don’t cross me. Because I can make your life a living hell…..”
“I told you Kate, I told you that you didn’t belong here or in the ring. I told you that VWS was for real wrestlers. Real warriors and real women.”
Not for the likes of you. You poser.”
“With your pretty dyed hair and your wannabe rocker attitude. You think you’re some kind of special anomaly in the world of professional wrestling. But sweetheart you’re a dime a dozen, a pound a million. A failed “insert profession here”. Hell our current “champion” is a former failed movie star.”
“And I have a problem with that.”
“See Katie cakes, I had to sit back and watch as women like you and Crystal and Trixie flaunted your past and who you were to get ahead in THIS. In wrestling. And then time after time you’ve failed at being anything of substance yet I thrived….”
Amber throws her hands in the air with a smile.
“But last week little Kate you had a chance to change it all. You had a chance to step into that ring and start your VWS career off with a huge BANG. But instead your night ended with me dropping you on your head and the referee counting to three. And now this week you get to team up with my sisters finger warmer against myself and the newest acquisition…Sarah Twilight….”
“And what will you do now Kate?.”
“Your partner may have some talent but you? You are the weak link. You will let Eliza down just like you let everyone else down who has ever believed in you. But myself and Sarah? Well you know me Kate, you know how good I am, but what about Sarah?. Well her reputation precedes her and she will hold up her end while we beat your ass….”
“And this time Katie Cakes….I won’t be gentle….”
“Ah was talkin’ ta Queenie…” My heart and stomach sank. Renee looked concerned as we sat alone, his eyes trail up and down trying to read me, trying to figure me out. “And?” I try to keep my voice centered and normal. Renee sighs deeply and shakes his head. “An ya need ta forgit it…”
I go to say something but the words don’t come out Renee let’s out a grunt and sits back. “ Lamb, tha waya thinkin is an affront ta god.”
My heart feels like it’s going to beat out of my chest. Renee looks uneasy, his long hair tied back from his face, his beard being stroked by his huge bear like hand. His other hand clutching the large golden crucifix that has always been around his neck, from as long as I’ve known him. I stay silent, not knowing what to say.
“Ya listenin ta me Amba?” I swallow hard and nod slowly, my pain and anger rising up. “I get it Renee, god forbid I’d need you right?” He shakes his head and let’s out a low growl. He gets to his feet and steps around back and forth. “Ya dunnae get it. Tha blasphemy won’t be talk’d about in ma house…”
“So I slowly go crazy right?...I need to talk to queenie…” Renee growls and slides his hands across the table knocking things to the floor getting near my face, a mixture of anger, frustration and worry mixed in his deep brown eyes. “ Damnit woman, ya gotta listen ta me. Fuckin spirits n tha world are neva talk’d about…so fagit it, or Queenie won’ be around at all….”
I look down and Renee leans closer. “Ya undastand lamb?....” I look back up and give him a small nod. Renee backs away and folds his arms. “I’m sorry….I won’t bring it up again….” He nods and turns, he’s happy, he’s trusting. But she is there, she stares at me and even though I now ignore her….she knows…
She always knows….
“You know why I don’t like you Eliza?....”
Amber smiles and folds her arms, her lips covered in a cheery red lipstick making her naturally pale complexion pop with her black and blue hair.
“It has nothing to do with your name or lineage. See I would never ever hurt someone or dislike them based on who they are related too. Unlike your lovely Aunt who beat, abused and tortured your girlfriend, my sister who you claim to love so much.”
“No I don’t dislike you because of your name or your Aunt. Who by the way I do respect because of her accomplishments.”
“I dislike you because you are the biggest hypocrite I have ever met in my life. I mean I’ll admit me teaming up with Ana is a little strange but I do it because of you. See Ana destroyed Kayla. She beat her down to nothing and you accused me of not caring. But what you seem to forget is that Kayla turned her back on me so I decided she needed to learn a lesson…”
“She needed to be broken down to build back up…”
Amber smirks and shakes her head.
“But you, you were the catalyst for her rebirth. You were the one to pick my sister up, dust her off and tell her that she had meaning. And what a couple you were. Little Kayla standing behind Eliza as you rose up the ladder of the wrestling world. And did Kayla complain or ask for anything? No, she was happy being in your shadow.”
“And then, you threw her away like trash…”
“After all your talk of me abandoning her you did the exact same thing. You dropped her like a bad habit, YOU did so much worse than your Aunt. And who was there this time?. Me. I was there. I taught her the importance of family, I taught her what it was to be a part of something greater than your own selfish desires and she flourished. She did more than you, she won titles she beat legends KAYLA WAS JUST LIKE ME…”
“But then you came back and you got her to turn her back on me again….”
“And it’s all because you needed her to watch your back, to fold herself back into your shadow because you are a lonely, sick little girl. And you are a much bigger hypocrite than I…or Ana…”
Amber steps forward and grunts.
“You and Kayla made your choice and that’s why IO signed with this company, that’s why I made a deal with the devil. I need to destroy you and Kayla. I need to take you both out and Kate fucking Steele as collateral damage.”
“As good as you think you are, as good as Kayla is…you can’t go to war with me little girl. I am one of the best professional wrestlers on planet earth and your inflated ego and even more inflated win loss record mean nothing to me. I will take your dreams, your hopes your aspirations and leave them crushed in a pile on the floor….”
“At TNT, Twilight and I wioll win another battle in this little war…and you and Kate will be nothing…”
