Sacrifice

Author: Mel

Summary: Wrestling and Love both call for sacrifices. But when it comes down to the line, which would you give up first?

Disclaimer: I do not own WWE, its characters, personas or etc. They belong exclusively to WWE Inc, Vince McMahon, and the wrestlers themselves. I'm just borrowing them. But I do own this story idea, and the OCs you meet (Carys and Crimson). And anyone else you don't recognize.

Notes: WWE still has brand extension. Umm…WWE has extended women's wrestling more…they have reintroduced the Diva's or Women's Tag Championship. Taking liberty with wwe storylines, changing things around such as Candice and Edge never were together, live sex all that angle never happened, instead Edge has been with Candice for the past few months, thus Candice was never injured, Ashley was never "fired" DSW is still a WWE "territory" Most characters on Raw except for Punk and London who are on Smackdown/ECW etc. Except some OOCness for fun's sake.

Pairings: Candice/Edge, Edge/OC, Ashley/London, Jay/Christy, Melina/Orton, OC/Punk, OC/Cena, Mickie/Jeff

WWE Corporate Headquarters, Greenwich, CT

A black Jeep Cherokee pulled up in front of the Titan Towers Office of the WWE. The young woman ensconced inside let out a breathe.

It had been a while since she'd been in a meeting with either McMahon and she had to say she was a little scared.

Carys Taylor also known to the world simply as Carys had been a WWE Diva for the past two years. She'd been scouted by Jim Ross at an independent show and given a try out and sent to DSW for more training and refining, then been pulled up to OVW six months later. While in OVW, Carys had made friends with Christy Hemme and Mickie James. Both women she now counted as some of her closer friends. Carys had been brought up to the main roster for a few months as the manager of the tag team of London and Kendrick, before a health scare had forced her to take time off.

Now Carys was back with WWE full time and ready to be given a new assignment. At least that was what she hoped was going to happen.

Carys took one more breathe, before looking in the mirror and smoothing her brown hair back over her shoulder. Carys opened the car door, but didn't bother to notice the figure walking by the vehicle at just that precise moment.

"Hey! I was walking there!" A deep, smooth voice said. Carys cringed.

"I'm sorry. I was in a hurry." She said looking up to see a rather tall blonde rubbing his leg.

"It's okay. Just watch what your doing next time." The man said as he shook his head.

"Well excuse me, but you do seem like you can take a harmless and accidental hit by a car door." Carys continued the conversation as she reached over and grabbed her purse before putting a booted foot covered by black slacks out of the jeep.

The blonde shook his head sheepishly.

"Okay. So you're right. Sorry. What are you doing here any way?"

"I have a meeting. How have you been?"

"Peachy, only nursing a slight hang over. So what's your meeting about?" The blonde known to the world as Edge asked as he held the door open for Carys to finish getting out then shutting it for her.

"I have no idea. I was just told I have a meeting with Mr. McMahon and his daughter. So either creative has something new for me and they are keeping me on the main roster, or I am getting shipped back down or I am being fired. Take your pick." Carys said as she walked swiftly towards the entrance, causing the man to have to rush to catch up.

"Really? Hmm. Interesting. I am here for a meeting as well and would you know…with the same people. So odds are you're not getting shipped back down or fired, mia bella."

Carys cringed. Or they know the true reason for my 'health problem' and need for a medical leave. Carys thought to herself.

"Don't call me that. That's the name you use on your girlfriend. And while I may have the same color hair, I am not your girlfriend."

The Canadian smirked to himself, getting under her skin was so easy.

"Yeah well it works for ya both."

"Whatever." The pair grew quiet as they made their way to the elevators and the office of Vince McMahon.

"Mel, I don't know why they want to see me." A midnight haired medium height young woman said into her cell phone as she sat in the waiting area outside Vince McMahon's office.

Christina Rivera or Crimson had been a developmental diva in the OVW for the past six months. Now though she was hopeful that she was going to be brought up to the main roster. Currently she was on the phone with Melina Perez, one of Raw's more seasoned divas. Melina and Crimson had been friends for several years now having met in the indy feds of the west. Both women had easily connected over their shared Latin heritage. It was on Melina's recommendation that Crimson received a WWE try out and contract.

Ti as Melina or Mel called her was hopefully going to be moved to the main roster. The buzz according to Mel was that the company was going to reintroduce the Women's World Tag Championship, thus more divas would be a good thing on the main roster. Crimson could only hope.

"I'm sure it's good news. Why would it be bad?" Melina said in reply to her friend. Melina was currently at OVW training with her fellow divas. The only ones missing were Candice and Ashley. As far as Melina was concerned neither woman was missed because frankly both were huge bitches. Ashley had always been so, despite her supposedly sweet onscreen persona and Candice only recently after her tenure as the WWE Women's Champion. She'd apparently let the 'fame' and attention get to her head.

"I hope your right Mel. So what did you want to tell me?"

"What?" Melina asked. Then remembered. "Oh yeah. Randy wanted to know if you'd like to join us and one of our friends on a date."

"What?"

"You go out with us…a double date."

"You mean a supervised blind date? What the hell, Mel I can get my own dates!"

"I know but I just want you to get back out there. You haven't' seriously dated since your breakup with Paul."

"Yeah well who blames me? My boyfriend was cheating on me with the sluttyness that is Ashley Massaro. I am not ready."

"Well you better get ready because after your meeting you better get your butt here to Louisville, because I am sure they are gonna send you here anyway and well you can just hang out. Okay? It doesn't have to mean anything. Just a nice time. Okay?"

Crimson rolled her eyes. "Fine."

"Goody! Well I'll let ya go chica. Have fun and be safe. Everything will be just fine!"

After saying her goodbye Crimson just rolled her eyes. "Sure whatever you say."

Crimson mumbled to herself, but stopped as soon as she heard the tell tail ring of the elevator stopping on the floor and turned her attention towards the elevators wondering what or who she would find.

Crimson's finely plucked eyebrow rose when she heard arguing as the doors opened.

"I told you forget it Adam. I'm over it and over…" The young woman who Crimson recognized as WWE Diva Carys grew quiet as she noticed the audience.

"Well, I don't' want to forget it. Damn it, Carys I …"Adam Copeland too grew quiet as she noticed the receptionist as well as Crimson staring at them.

Edge smiled sheepishly and exited the elevator ahead of the woman.

Carys slowly followed the man, expelling a breathe. Crimson noticed her eyes seemed a little glassy or watery and that she was red.

Hmm…interesting. Crimson thought to herself, tucking the info away to use later in her talk with Melina.

Crimson smiled as the pair made their way over. The Canadian speaking first.

"Hi. I know you. You're Crimson. You have some seriously killer moves in the ring." Edge said causing the young woman to smile and blush a little bit.

The raven head just rolled her eyes and slide past Edge to sit down, but not with out kicking the man subtly in the shin.

The man's yelp of pain was silenced by a look from the woman.

"Thanks for the compliments. I usually go by my real name though."

"Oh. What is that?" Edge asked taking the seat on Crimson's left while Carys was seated to her right.

"Christina 'Crimson' Rivera. You may call me Crimson."

Edge looked as if he were contemplating her name. "Hmm. Pretty name but I think I'll call you Midnight."

Crimson considered it. "Okay. And you're Edge."

"Yes I am. Pleasure to meet ya. That lovely spitfire over there is…"

"Is capable of introducing herself. Hi. I'm Carys Taylor. You may call me anything as long as it's not Sienna or Mia or Bella or Belle."

"Nice to meet you." Crimson said looking at the young woman.

"Well now it's nice to see that you all have gotten acquainted." A deep voice said from the doorway of the main office.

Three heads turned to see Vince McMahon, Chairman of the WWE looking at them.

"If you three would like to join us that would be wonderful."

The three stood, Edge waiting until both the women entered before doing so.

Upon entering the three noticed the other occupants of the office. Stephanie McMahon-Levesque, she waved, John Cena, who nodded, and the two wretched bitches as Melina called them Candice and Ashley.

Edge was a little shocked to see his girlfriend in the office.

"Hi sweetie." Candice said to her boyfriend as she motioned for him to come sit himself next to her. Carys took the chair closest to Stephanie, which just happened to be the farthest from Candice.

Edge looked torn. Then placed a smile on his face as he walked towards his girlfriend, leaning down and placing what was to be a chaste kiss to her lips, but turned into a minor almost brain sucking event when she refused to let go. Edge pulled her off and then took the seat next to her. He smiled sheepishly at Stephanie before turning discreetly towards the other superstars. His eyes found Carys who was too busy exchanging pleasantries with Stephanie to notice.

Ashley smirked at Crimson as entered the room, causing her to want to beat the brainless blonde to death.

She took the seat next to Carys, and beside John, who just nodded before turning his attention to his two bosses.

"So now that everyone is here I am sure you are wondering why you're here." Vince said sitting down.

There were several nods.

"Well the answer is simple. You are here because we are going to be starting a new title division. This Monday night on raw we are introducing the Women's World Tag Team Titles and you four young ladies have been chosen to be the first to compete for it."

Vince stopped for effect, but everyone just looked at him. He shared a look with Stephanie who just shrugged before continuing.

"Now I know that Candice and Ashley have worked together before, but you Carys and you Crimson have not. But you young ladies have similar ring styling so the creative team has made you into a tag team. But it will be a bumpy start so to speak as you are going to be the manager of John Cena."

There were several nods and oks.

"Wait." A voice spoke up; it was Candice. "So you're putting Ashley and I against those two?" Candice said with disdain in her voice.

Vince nodded. "Carys is an experienced diva and wrestler and Crimson is one of our most promising newest divas. All of you are some of the best, so we are going to start out using you two teams as our guinea pigs."

"What I always wanted to be…an experiment." Crimson muttered under her breathe, causing Carys to smile.

"Now if you want to continue Steph?" Vince said turning the floor over to her.

Stephanie smiled, then began. "Now storyline wise, you Carys will be introduced as the childhood friend of Edge's who has come to the WWE. You are going to cause tension between Edge and Candice that will lead to their break up a few weeks from now."

Carys just shook her head. Edge smirked internally and Candice looked murderous.

"Now you ask why you will be paired with Cena, well it's simple. You are going to anger Candice, who will visit the Raw GM, who is Dad, who will place you in a match against her and a partner of her choosing, but it has to be a woman. Crimson will be the only woman who will help you. You will be accompanied to the ring by Cena, and Ashley and Candice will be accompanied by Edge. Edge will at one point be asked by Candice to interfere by hitting Carys with a spear…you hit Candice instead and everything goes from there."

All the occupants were puzzled.

Carys spoke up. "So this angle is starting on Monday?"

"Yes."

Edge raised his hand.

"Yes Edge?"

"When did you come up with this angle?"

"It's been in work for months, we were just waiting for Carys's return. I know it sounds rushed. But it will work out. I want all of you to report to OVW to work out and train for Monday's match. Stephanie and Shane will be along to supervise and work things out. Now get going!"

All the wrestlers just stared at each other, before all rising and leaving the office and starting their journey to OVW.
