Chapter 2: Phoenix

Taking a long drag from her cigarette, Nikita let the nicotine envelop her senses. She rarely gets nervous but tonight made her a little on edge. Amanda and Percy are counting on her for tonight's finale. She didn't want to disappoint them.

When Amanda told her the news that she'd been picked to do the finale for this year's biggest event in Division, she was so elated. After two years of being a recruit, it's finally her time.

Just like her phoenix tattoo, she has risen from her burning past. She's a new woman now, a fighter and a survivor. Nikita Mears is a phoenix lady. The woman on fire. Everyone is going to remember her name.

Re-touching her make-up, Nikita halted her movement upon hearing the soft knocking on her dressing room door.

"Come in." she drawled out.

Andrea Jaeden, a new recruit poked her head inside the dressing room. Half her face is covered with glitter and paint and her head is adorned with a big feather headband. She's one of the pole dancers tonight. "Are you quite finished? Amanda wants to talk to you before you go on stage."

"I'll be out in a sec, you go ahead. Thank you." She reached for her black skimpy robe that she tossed on the sofa and placed it on to cover her body before heading out the door to look for Amanda.

Nikita went about the brothel to look for Amanda. She passed by sweaty bodies humping and grinding in every which way she looked. The place literally reeked of sex. It made her shiver and excited. She would have to perform her best for this night to keep the sexed up vibe going.

"You were looking for me?" she interjected Amanda and Percy's light conversation. She found them in a table near the stage.

"Ah yes, our star is here." Percy stood up from his chair and motioned for Nikita to join them in their table.

"Nikita, are you ready for this?" Amanda inquired, gesturing to the room filled with guests.

"I was born ready." She confidently replied. She had been waiting for this big break. Now she's so ready she can literally feel her excitement bursting out in waves.

"Yes. We just want to see how you're doing before the finale." Percy said after taking a sip of his drink. He was sitting regally on the chair like he is the king of the goddamn planet. He's confident that Nikita will bring him big bucks tonight. He's just glad that Amanda chose Nikita. He didn't do favorites but after seeing how Nikita became this Nikita in Division, he could not help but like her most from the rest of his girls in the brothel.

"I'm great Percy, thank you." Nikita answered with a nod.

"The guys that were picked are getting ready right at this moment. You'll meet them on stage." Amanda informed her. The lucky guys that will be joining Nikita on stage for the finale were picked randomly from the long list of guests.

"Make us proud." Percy smiled and patted her cheek.

"I will. Thank you."

"Now go backstage, you'll be up in a few. Good luck." Amanda said before going back to her drink in hand.

"Ladies and gents, the finale you've been all waiting for! Seat back and enjoy!" The emcee's voice echoed throughout the establishment. The chatters died down. The guests settled to watch the production that is going to be revealed.

The lights went out. After it came back on, there she was standing in all her almost naked glory. Nikita Mears.

Her hair is styled in big curls. Smoky eyes and dark red stained lips adorned her striking face. A bright red ribbon sheltered her almost bare form from the crowd's lecherous stares. The slim ribbon covered her perky nipples which is crossed at the back and extends to the front where a little red bow covers her modesty then at the back her peachy ass is showed to everyone's full view. The ribbon is tied to her smooth toned thighs to hold up her barely there attire. Red fuck me heels completed her fiery look.

The stage was filled with smoke. The lights flashed in colors of orange and red. The room was ablaze. She was the phoenix. The girl on fire.

The lights faded to dim white again and almost abruptly, flashing crazy lights and smooth music covered the whole place. Three guys emerged from the back with masks covering half their faces.

Let the fun begin.
