A/N: Sorry for the late update! Again, thank you for the reviews and follows so far! It really keeps me writing this piece. Be warned, there's a little segment in this next bit that some might find offensive. I've tried my hardest not offend anybody, so don't say I didn't warn you! Other than that, I hope you enjoy this next bit :)
DISCALMER: I only own the OCs. All other characters belong to WWE and NXT (FCW).
"Promise me life, and I'll confess the truth."
~William Shakespeare
"Is it a prank? If so, who is the dumbass or are the dumbasses behind it? If not..."
All these questions and more swirled around Lily's mind as she fiddled with the paper in her hands. In her attempt to take her mind off of it, she watched the next match of the evening on the screen. Since it's a Diva's match, she figured it would a good opportunity to learn some things from watching.
Howard Finkel was still full of glee and it was easy to tell judging from the sound of his voice. Especially given the outcome of the opening contest. "The following contest is a Diva's Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Byron Saxton, the team of Naomi and Cameron Lynn!"
Lily face palmed at the collectively aesthetic disaster of Naomi and Cameron Lynn. As formidable as they are in the ring, both divas look like they stepped out of salon on the southside. Lily almost felt pity for Byron, because he was the one who volunteered to guide the careers of Naomi and Cameron. And judging by the brief promo that they tried to cut, it's not really working out too well.
Thankfully, the entrance theme of their opponents hit and it silenced the painfully sounding hyenas! "Their opponents, the team of Katilyn and Caylee Turner!" Katilyn and Caylee were the complete opposite of Naomi and Cameron Lynn as far as their mannerisms and their look go. Kaitlyn, with her blonde and brunette hair color combo, was built like a truck! But as scary as her musculature is, she's actually a very charming woman and loves to smile. Caylee Turner is definitely the kid sister of Alicia Fox. Her beauty, her body, and her energy. "I still refused to believe that you're not Alicia's twin!", Lily chuckled.
After a good few minutes Naomi and Cameron Lynn picked up the victory, much to the surprise of the fans and Kaitlyn and Caylee! "Here are your winners, the team of Naomi and Cameron Lynn!" Lily wrinkled her eyebrows in disbelief over what just happened as the victors celebrated their win by booty dancing their way back to the locker room.
Lily couldn't linger on the winning team's antics any longer now. She had bigger fish to fry... Much bigger...
On her way to the guerilla position, Lily's path was derailed by the parade known as Naomi and Cameron Lynn, still coming off of their victory earlier. Both of the animated divas stopped and glanced over to the cyberpunk diva who was perplexed by their attitude.
"Damn, girl! You need to get them eyes checked out!" Cameron Lynn said in Lily's face with her lips perched out like a gorilla.
"Now, now ladies. Let's just keep moving on...!" Byron Saxton pleaded, trying to wheel his wild chicks along.
"I'd listen to him."
"You need to check that! 'Cause you don't say shit like that to people! You gots a bad attitude, girl!" Cameron continued to snap in Lily's face.
"Well, you got a bad weave. And let me tell you something. If you don't get the fuck out of my face right now, I'll rip it off your head and shove down your throat...!" Lily's eyes began to burn from snow white to crimson red.
The group quaked in fear over what they just saw and began to run in the opposite direction. "Damn, Cam, you right! She needs to get them eyes looked at!" Naomi screamed as she, Cameron, and Byron ran away.
After scaring away those clowns, Lily turned her attention to Caylee who was still lingering over her and Kaitlyn's loss. Lily went up to Caylee and put her arm around her to make sure she didn't arouse any suspicion. "Tough break, hm?"
"Yeah... Why them? I'd rather lose to Aksana and Raquel Diaz than to those clowns!"
"Pfft, a loss is a loss." Lily chuckled. "Just outta curiosity. What did you do before the match?"
"I, uh, met up with Kaitlyn to talk strategy with Kaitlyn. Why?"
"You're sure that's the only strategy you were going over?"
Caylee raised an eyebrow and spoke defensively. "Lil, what are you talking about?"
Lily held the note in Caylee's face who then took it and read it. "Ok, look... I admit that I don't agree with your choice at all. But that doesn't mean that I'd resort to something like this. If I wanted to cheer you up-"
"Sure about that?" Lily objected. "Besides, I seriously doubt that Leakee himself wrote this. If he wanted to take me somewhere, he'd ask me face to face."
"Please. Why someone as gorgeous and as smart as Leakee be interested in a weird eyed freak like you?"
That snobbish voice made Lily's toes curl, her fists clinch, and her face wrinkle in anger. "Maybe because I don't make him feel uncomfortable, unlike somebody I know!"
Lily retorted as she turned around to the sight of Summer Rae looking down on her with arrogance. "Uncomfortable? Ha!" Summer laughed as she flipped her hair with one hand. "Let me tell you what uncomfortable is. Uncomfortable is making out with someone and then stopping to see their eyes all weird and stuff. Certainly not human..."
That familiar phrase rang in her head over and over again until it hit her... Summer conspired with Brad to split Lily and Leakee up. It made perfect sense. She actually posed a threat to Summer... As she was embracing her realization, Lily spotted The Ascension from the corner of her eye. Suddenly feeling a rush of adrenaline, she shoved Summer into Raquel who was in front. Conor O'Brian caught his dark witch while they the arrogant blonde drop to the floor alone.
Lily laughed as she watched Summer drop like a sack of potatoes and the anger boiling in the eyes of the gothic cult. "Hey! I didn't touch you!" Lily shouted as she did her signature silly face with tongue out and a wink before kicking in the afterburners.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! GET THAT BITCH!" Raquel commanded and her men obeyed as the bolted as their prey.
"Hey, wait for me! Ow!" Summer whined as she got up and limped in the same direction The Ascension was heading.
"Huh... Never a dull moment, indeed, Lil." Caylee giggled as she just watched the madness that unfolded.
Lily raced to her locker room feeling she was in an episode of Tom & Jerry during a chance scene! As she ran, Lily spotted Howard Finkel who was taking a break from his work in the distance. She stopped her run a couple of inches away from the hall of fame announcer who was startled by her surprise arrival.
"Mr. Finkel, I don't have a lot of time! But I just wanna say that it is such an honor to meet you! You are amazing and thank you so much for what you do!" Lily rapid fired as she went to shake The Fink's hand.
"Um, thank you, young lady. I appreciate that."
"It's Lily, heh!" The cascade of footsteps came louder and louder, serving as her cue to run for it! "Again, thank you! And Bo Rotundo, I.R.S.'s youngest son, says 'Hey!'"
She continued her run until she finally made it to her locker room, slammed the door shut and locked it to buy her time. She strapped on her tiny waist bag, input the coordinates on her bracer to her destination. She took one last look at the note before get distracted by the loud pounding on the door. She gasped as she was startled, but got it together. "Is it a prank? Dunno. Either way, better strike while the iron is hot!"
The door got kicked down and Lily turned with a smile on her face. "Love to stay and hang out. But I need to go now. Bye!" With that, she winked, hit the button on her bracer, and disappeared just as Kenneth Cameron lunged forward to grab her. He face planted on to the floor as she disappeared leaving him, The Ascension, and Summer Rae fuming with frustration...
"This is it. Howard Johnson Express Inn and Suites of South Tampa. Room 209." Lily inhaled and exhaled as prepared herself for the worst. "Oh, come on! You just owned Summer Rae and The Ascension all at once! That's gotta help, right?"
"Ok, here we go..."
Just as she was about to knock on the door, it swung open to reveal Leakee himself on the phone. "It's all right, bro. Emergencies happen-" He was stopped in his tracks by someone he did not expect to see. Unfortunately for Lily, he wasn't too happy to see her. He was so surprised and unhappy that didn't even stop to question how she found him. "I'll call you back..." He hung up and put the phone back in his jeans pocket. "What do you want?"
Reality began to set in for Lily. It wasn't a prank after all. Suddenly, every bit of confidence she had from the chase all fell by the wayside. "S-so...um... What was it like gettin' announced by Howard Finkel, hm?"
"...Get out." Before he could close the door, Lily stopped it with her foot. "Ok, ok, ok, alright!" She gathered her breath, trying not to collapse. "We need to talk..."
"Oh, now you wanna talk? Why? So, you can run away again?"
"No!"
"Lily, I tried to sympathize with you and I do. But I can't do this if you're going to keep running away." He then pushed her foot off of the doorway so that he can close it. Just as he did so, Lily used her bracer to teleport into his room. "What the?!" He stood with his eye wide open in shock.
"I haven't been completely honest with you, Leakee. And I know that I've been running away a lot. But please, let me stay so that I can tell you everything..."
He wasn't sure of what to make of this. Part of him wanted to throw her out because he still wasn't hundred percent convinced. But it would be useless to try. She would just keep coming back again and again. After thinking about it for a moment and seeing the sincerity in her eyes, he swallowed his pride and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Ok, then. Talk."
There was no going back now. It was time to come clean...
"I come from a city that's in a different dimension that's more technologically advanced, hence the bracer on my arm that allows me to teleport. The city is what you would call a 'cyberpunk' cityscape."
"As in...raver type...?"
"...More than that. But yes. The people that live there are not all humans. There are also Antro (human/animal), AI Sapients (cyborgs), and Fae."
"Wait... So... Which one are you?" Leakee asked, trying very hard to process what he was being said.
"Fae... As in.. 'fairy'..."
"You!? A fairy from another world?!..." Leakee shouted in disbelief.
"The scientists in my world found the remains of a fairy, studied them, and modified them to repopulate the species, but make them more human like. They would be human, but would have luminescent eyes, a bit of photokinesis (power to control light). The powers would vary... How it works is... They take the strain, inject them into a human mother's womb, and let it grow for nine months... Some procedures didn't end well... Either for the baby, the mother, or both..." Lily eventually began to sob as she went on. "My ma was so committed to her practice that she couldn't make time for a relationship... But she still wanted be a mother, so... She signed for the procedure and endured it... It was hell for both of us... After I was born, my ma couldn't breastfeed me for a couple of days because her life force was worn down almost to the point of death... My ma was angry. She didn't care what happens to her as long as she got to feed me... Now, my ma can't have any more children because the damage was too great... I mean, the doctors have the technology to fix her. But they said that if she tried again, either her, the baby, or both... Won't be so lucky..."
Lily began to bury her face into her hands, crying...
"This is why I couldn't tell you everything about me! Because of how you would react. Don't you get it?! You say you want to have a chance, but I can tell that you're having second thoughts..." She began to head towards the door with her cheeks soaked from her tears. "I thought that I was doing the right thing by hiding the truth from you... But then it wouldn't have been fair to lie to you... At least you deserved to know..."
A/N: Finally, Lily comes clean! By how did Leakee take it? Sorry if it seems all jumbled together, but I wasn't sure if it could wait until the next chapter. Reviews anyone? :)
