“I…”
My voice trailed off, watching Angel walking down the hallway, Chad Lights was following close behind him along with the camera crew… I seemed to go into a haze, feeling my legs go numb under me. I couldn’t take my eyes off of Angel, until he had finally turned the corner --- torn…between going after him, or staying here. I tried to fight the words from escaping my mouth, even knowing that he wouldn’t hear me, I couldn’t keep them behind me.
“Love you.”

“And so we turn the page. It seems that no matter how many pages we go through, we come to the same point of the same chapter; Joanne Canelli… Tara Fenix… It was this time, last month, where we stepped into the ring in a triple threat contest - but not with the same person, this month. Emma Danielson was able to pick up the pin fall victory over you, last month, and now. Freya Ragnal. Is she going to have the same pages be written for her that Emma Danielson was able to have written for her?
Not if I have anything to say about it.
There have been two occasions where you, Joanne, have been the reason that I lost… without being pinned. Without being forced to tap out. Without being outside of the ring for a dreadful count of ten! Two occasions where you… have forced me to lose without me being involved in the decision.
There will not be a third!
I know what you’ll do. You’re going to come onto that camera and talk about how I lost those matches, not just you; but I did… I’ve openly admitted to losing all of these matches before, and I’m not going to say it anymore. Because of what happened last week, when I went into the ring against Emma Danielson, the number one contender for the NCW Women’s World Championship - and I won! That proved to me, proved to the world, and it should prove to you… that the only reason I have lost those matches, were because of you.
Because of your failure. Because of your sorry excuse for wrestling, and thinking you have that little advantage because of three men that have your back. Bring them. I’ll prove to you, in front of them, that this ring isn’t a place where you belong…”

Still feeling my body going weak, I almost fell…but I felt someone put their hand to my back to keep me up.
Voice:
“Whoa, easy there.”
The sound of the voice caught me by surprise, and he had helped me sit down in a nearby chair. Will Washington. I looked up at him, as I also lifted my hand to my forehead trying to stop myself from feeling so dizzy…
Will Washington:
“Please tell me that you didn’t have any of the punch…”
I couldn’t keep myself from laughing under my breath at his comment, and shook my head to him.
Will Washington:
“Good. Because I did. Anyways, tell me what’s going on.”
I stuttered a moment, before stopping myself from speaking. I licked my lips, looking toward the ground… I wasn’t sure if this was something I should talk about. Yet. Maybe I should talk to Angel about it and make sure that I heard him right - but there was no mistaking that.
“Well, it’s about Angel…”

“You’re not going to be my only opponent, though. Like I said, one month ago… it was three women hoping to make a name for themselves. Two with a name to their past; one with a name… for this month… the other two hoping to recreate their name from long ago. Emma Danielson. Joanne Canelli. Tara Fenix.
This month, all we do is replace Emma with Freya Ragnal.
A very impressive young lady… her only loss was at the hands of Zelda Knite, but in a match with some of the biggest names in NCW. There’s no denying your impressive résumé since you debuted in the NCW - maybe, just maybe there is something more to you than your brothers.
Just like there is something…
To me.”

Will Washington:
“Stop! STOP…RIGHT THERE!”
I looked up at him, confused, but he was shaking his head.
Will Washington:
“This is not the type of talk I want to be in.”
He turned his head from me, and shouted to someone nearby… I turned my head to see who he was shouting at.
Will Washington:
“Megan! Megan Kane! Come talk to Tara about her womanly feelings.”
I could see the look of anger on Megan’s face the moment she laid eyes on me.
Megan Kane:
“I want my Bradley Bear back, you bitch!”
Megan stormed off without saying another word to me, and Will Washington just stood there…he blinked a few times, not knowing what that was all about. Not something that I would really like to go back to, but it seems that she hasn’t forgotten.

“Ever since I first faced Zelda Knite inside the ring, there has been one thing on my mind… as far as being in the ring goes… that has been to beat her! Go through everybody that would get in my way, beat everybody that would get in my way, hurt and destroy everybody that would get in my way.
And defeat Zelda Knite.
Not just defeat her… Defeat her for the NCW Women’s World Championship. The opportunity was robbed from me by Emma Danielson last month, when she picked up the victory over Joanne Canelli, but I proved that Emma can’t beat me. Emma…can’t pin me. She’ll never make me tap out. There is something that I’ve learned; you’re not going to make Zelda Knite do any of those things, either! Emma won’t defeat Zelda.”

Will Washington:
“Well, that didn’t go so well… You’ll be fine, right?”
I nodded my head.
“Thanks for trying, I guess.”
Will Washington:
“Anytime. Sorry I couldn‘t be more helpful.”
He walked down the hallway, and I was left sitting in the middle of the hallway, with only my thoughts to keep me company… people passed in front of me, some would occasionally glance down at me. But I just couldn’t shake Angel from my mind. About what he did out in the ring, cheating his way to victory… what he said to me… Truthfully, I couldn’t deny that these aren’t the words that I’ve longed to hear from him, but… now that he has said them, I couldn’t say them back to him. Not to his face.

“That’s a task best left to me…
In my way to Zelda Knite is Freya. Is Joanne. Just like what I had to do with Emma, and Cleopatra… I’ll be throwing both of you out of my way. Joanne, you need to take a hint. Freya…you could have a future in this business, but your time isn’t coming now. You’re not going to live to be that wrestling prodigy that Zelda has seemed to live up to be.
I won’t let either one of you get in my way. I won’t let ANYONE get in my way.”

I stood up from the ground, and dusted myself off before quickly using the sleeve of my shirt to wipe the tear from my eye. I might be too late, but I had to try to find him… I pulled my phone from my pocket, as I raced down the hallway to get to the parking lot. As soon as I went to dial his number, an incoming text message popped up; I stopped to read it…
I didn’t recognize the number… I erased the message, and lifted my phone as I pressed my speed dial for Angel. The ringing from his phone seemed to go on forever, as I went to his parking space and saw that his car was already gone. Maybe I was too late. I decided that I’d meet him at his hotel to try and talk to him, and I soon got into my car, parked just next to where his was - we liked to drive to the arena together, and always parked next to each other…
I got into my car, and felt a vibrate from my phone. I looked at the screen, seeing another text message.
Who was this?
*Scene fades.*
