Chapter 19:

One Week Later

Soraya held her head high as she headed down the halls of the Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut. Word was officially out that the Undertaker had indeed cheated on Soraya with a no name blonde and the two were no longer an item. Now, Soraya was receiving exactly what she didn't want, looks of pity from the entire roster, or, in Test's case, propositions.

"Oh come, Soraya. I've seen the way you look at me backstage, I know you want me. Now that the deadman is out of the picture, what's stopping you?" Test persisted, as she tried to brush past him.

"I'm just not interested; Test, but thanks for the offer." Shoving a little more roughly, she moved past him.

All she wanted to do was go to catering, get a bottle of water and then hide out in the Divas locker room until her match tonight. Test was making that a little difficult and to think they used to be on the same team.

"What are you, a tease?" He reached for her.

"Test, just leave me alone." She sighed exasperatedly. "I'm not interested in dating right now, period!"

"We could skip the dating then."He smirked. "And get right to the…"

"Back off, Test!" Billy Gunn stepped in between the two. "She said she wasn't interested, go find a ring rat or something."

Soraya took the distraction as an opportunity to slip away and practically jog to catering. She made a mental note to thank Billy for the interference later. She just wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone right now, much less a guy that couldn't take a hint.

Upon entering catering, she saw the last two people she wanted to see; the two blondes who had taken it upon themselves to make Soraya's life miserable. Trish and Sara were huddled together at one of the tables, gossiping like school girls. And, Soraya didn't need to hear what they were saying to know they were discussing her former boyfriend and quite possibly herself.

Forcing herself to ignore them, Soraya walked past up to the buffet line and plucked a bottle of water from the cooler. She even took a sip from it, before turning around to go back out the way she came in. She'd rather deal with Test than those two women.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the former girlfriend of the Undertaker." Trish sniped, before Soraya passed their table again. "How does it feel to be kicked to the curb for another woman?"

Straightening her back bone, Soraya put on an impassive face. "I don't know Trish, how does it feel to know your skinny friend accomplished something you couldn't?"

All other conversations in the dining area stopped and the attention was focused on the three women. Tension filled the air, so thick that it choked.

"Don't be all pissy at Trish just because you weren't woman enough for my man." Sara came to her friend's defense. "It's not her fault you have a boy's figure."

Soraya fixed cold eyes on the other woman. "Listen slut, I'm a qualified Diva, with fighting skills that would make your death look like a painful accident. You do not want to get into with me. I'll wipe the floor with you."

Sara stood from her chair. "I'm Texas, born and bred. I can hold my own."

"Like that means something? I'm scrappier than you can ever imagine. I grew up in the streets of LA and trained in Pittsburgh. While you were shopping at the mall for prom dresses, I was kicking ass in the ring." Soraya stood levelly with her. "Don't push me, bitch!"

"Ooh, someone's testy." Sara smirked evilly. "Are you feeling a little bitter because your man left you for the better package? After all, I heard he wasn't the first to do so." She taunted.

It was one thing to throw her affair with Mark in Soraya's face. Sara was involved so technically, she could use it as ammo. It was another thing entirely to throw Billy Kidman and Torrie Wilson at Soraya. That happened before Soraya was even signed to the WWF. She just wouldn't stand for that anymore.

CRACK! Without warning, Soraya's palm shot out and struck openly across Sara's hometown girl face. The blonde Texan had to grab hold of the table to keep from collapsing at the force behind it. Already, an angry red mark had formed along her cheek bone.

"Soraya!" Someone shouted in shock and horror.

Soraya didn't get the chance to find out who owned the voice, as Trish Stratus immediately jumped to the aid of her friend. The Canadian tackled the Pittsburgh beauty to the floor, scratching and clawing at anything she could get her hands on, while Soraya struggled against her.

"Hey!" Another blonde jumped into the fray, dragging Trish off Soraya. "Back off Stratus!" Jessica's tone was fierce as she shoved the former fitness model back.

Sara screeched and launched her own assault, as Soraya got back to her feet. This time, Soraya was prepared and side stepped the attack, and landing a forearm to the homewrecker's lower back. Soraya pounced as she fell to the floor, pinning her down and punching any available flesh.

It didn't take long before Trish and Jess were getting into it, trading their own punches. The entire dining area was in chaos and several of the superstars tried to separate the four women, but the Rebel McMahon and the Pittsburgh Powerhouse were having none of it. They were furious and looking to kick some ass.

"Hey! Hey!" The Rock burst into the catering area, with Chris Benoit, Undertaker and Kane just footsteps behind him. "Jess!"

He locked his arms around the waist of the former Women's Champion and hauled her off the Canadian blonde. "Breathe, get it under control!" He ordered.

"Jesus Soraya, she's bleeding enough!" Benoit jerked Soraya off Sara and restrained her. "All right, you kicked her ass, she's a mess. Cool off!"

"My God!" The Undertaker bent down to help Sara sit up. Blood trickled from her nose and the corner of her mouth. Her left eye was already turned purple and she was breathing heavy from the assault. "She did a number on you."

Seeing the Undertaker bent down to offer help to Sara was the last straw for Soraya. She jerked free of Benoit's grasp and bolted from the dining area. Her rage melted into heartache and tears poured down her face.

"Soraya!" She heard Jess call after her, but she didn't look back.

"What happened in here?" The Rock demanded, loosening his grip on the youngest McMahon.

"Trish and Sara were taking pot shots at Soraya." Scotty 2 Hotty offered the People's Champ. "Soraya was holding her own pretty good too, until Sara said something about it not being the first time Soraya got cheated on, or something to that sort."

"You brought up Billy Kidman?!" Jess turned fiery green eyes to the two battered women. "I could kill you! I could kill you anyway for what you did to her with Taker, but I'll rip you apart for throwing that into her face."

"Billy Kidman, the WCW guy?" X-pac asked in confusion.

"It's personal." Jessica shook her head to cut him off. "Stay away from her from now on, I have supreme pull in this company and if either of you taunts her like that again, I'll have you removed from the WWF premises, permanently."

"I'm going to go find Soraya." Benoit informed the group of superstars. "She'll need someone a little more calm right now, Jess."

"Tell her I'll come see her later." Jess nodded her head in agreement, allowing her temper to simmer back down.

"Oh an Taker," Benoit shot a lethal look at the Deadman. "Keep your whore on a leash and away from Soraya, or you'll deal with me."

The Rabid Wolverine left the scene, leaving his words of warning lingering behind him. He could let go of the beast and throttle Taker right now, but Soraya needed him more than she needed her ex's beat down. He'd just have to bide his time. Right now Soraya was his first priority seeing as no one else knew what other things were going on with her.
