Anu Thompson had waited a long time for this day. She was twenty and she was anxious about starting this job for the WWF. Anu thought she wasn't pretty enough to be a model so she had decided on following her journalism and photography career. Coming into this business she had planned on traveling and seeing new people, not quite in that order, and just prove to her coven that she was capable of living in a world dominated by hate.
During one of the assignments as an interview she had to talk to one of the tag team champions, the team of Team Extreme. They were a cool bunch and she had been a little too overly excited to talk to them. She had set up a meeting with Matt for them to meet that day and she was waiting outside under a tree in a nearby park. She never really felt comfortable with public places, to noisy in her mind. Plus, she hadn't been to a semi natural place in a long time.
"Sorry we're late, Jeff here decided to do his hair."
Looking up at the three of them Anu only shook her head. "No big deal, I'm surprised that you actually felt like meeting up here. Anyway, as you know I'm Anu Thompson, and I'm the new journalist for WWF magazine. I'm also one of the photographers for ringside action."
"Oh yeah I know you. You have some good talent with the camera." Lita sat down in front of her as Matt sat next to her. "So you're here to talk to us about our win over the Dudley brothers."
This was just the start for her, as she asked them questions from the question list that the editor wanted her to ask she slowly found out more about them. About the relationship between Matt and Lita and about Jeff's morbid dislike against Raven for some reason.
"I'm not putting this in the article but do you really hate Raven, in real life?"
"Yeah, we just don't get along. We have a view point on some religions that I totally don't like."
"You're Christian and he's not. Everyone knows he's a Jew. Or is there more?"
"He has a strong liking for witchcraft and other forms of that religion. I believe they're nothing but Satan worship. I mean who would want to pray to the moon? I just don't get it."
There's a lot that you don't understand, Anu thought looking at him. "Oh well I guess that's understandable. Shall we continue?"
After talking to them for an hour she deemed them done. As Anu was packing up her things Matt told his girlfriend and brother that he'll meet up with them at the car in a minute.
"Did my brother upset you?"
"Yeah he did, but it's nothing that I haven't heard before." Anu was packing up her notebook. "You should go, I'll just hang around here for a while like I use to do growing up."
"You like parks?"
"Swinging and listening to music at the same time. It sort of lets me enter my own dream world." She shrugged closing her backpack. "I'll see you around."
"One final question, why did you take offense to Jeff. What did he say that pissed you off?"
"I'm Wiccan, I belong to a coven and I know a girl that is involve with Santeria. I have my faith in the religion and I just don't understand why people can't understand that my religion is not a dark and dangerous. And I would appreciate that you don't tell anyone about this. Or else karma will have a way of making sure your actions will come back to you."
Matt smiled. "Finally someone that understands me. Well with karma anyway. Hey, maybe I'll see you around. Want to go out sometime and just hang."
Anu shook her head. "No thanks, I'm not a party kind of person. I'm more of a healer in some sense. I guess I'll see you around some time or another."
They left then, Matt going to his car and Anu going towards the swing sets. But Anu wasn't stupid, she knew that something would explode and she was going to be revealed to her co-workers in one way or another. She had to be careful, she didn't know how this could effect her life if someone was really prejudice towards her faith.
