~Cassie~
I spent my time off in the ring training with both Matt and Phil. By the time Monday rolled back around I had the basic moves down but I was no where near ready to wrestle. I was sore from everything wrestling related. I really did have a new found respect for everyone that calls them self a pro wrestler. It's harder then anyone would think. Phil stood behind me massaging my shoulders as we sat in his locker room. Phil gently kissed me.
"You're gonna be fine. Just do as we practiced."
"I know I did have the best in the world help me out. I'm not worried as much as I wanna win it really don't matter as long as I don't get hurt or killed. I still don't get why Freya made this match for. I've done nothing wrong, just followed what she wanted me to do." I sighed slightly.
"I know baby, but its stuff that happens as you have been around the wrestling world for years, you've seen the ins and the outs of it." I went to reply as his phone rang. He answered the phone, and told them to hold on. "Good luck out there babe." He kissed the top of my head and walked out. I sighed putting my head in my hands trying to get in the zone so to say. I felt a hand on my back making me jump.
"Sorry Cassie, you doing ok?" Matt asked as I looked up at him.
"Yea." I told him as I looked over at the monitor to see Phil out in the ring helping out Serge.
"Come on it's almost time for your match." Matt said on the verge of pissed, he was only staying calm for me, but once he got away from me it would be known that he was pissed and he would take it out on anyone and everyone. Matt walked me down to gorilla wishing me luck. We shared a quick hug and he went on his way. I was at gorilla pissed that I had to be in this match and that Freya never called once to explain why she would just throw me into a match like this when she knows damn well that I'm not a wrestler nor have I been trained to be one. I was nervous as this was my first match since being a manager in WWE and I was freaking out on how it was going to turn out. I ignored Cam as she walked up and out as her music blasted through out the arena. Shadows Fall - Still I Rise started off. I took a deep breath.
"Well this is it Cassie." I told myself as I walked out. I was by no means a new diva around here, I didn't want to be a diva and if I had my way this would be my first and last match ever. I got into the ring as Cam went from leaning against the ropes to standing up straight. The ref told us the rules. As my nerves were starting to get the best of me. I shook them out as the bell rang and we circled each other. We locked up I got the upperhand when I got Cam into a head lock going for a running bulldog. I went to pin her but Cam kicked out at 2. The match went back and forth Cam hits a Driving facebuster on me and she goes for the pin and I kick out at 2. I hit a hurricanrana, to Cam. Cam goes for my eyes. I grab my eyes, as they burn from her ramming her fingers in. Cam goes for the cover, and gets the win. Cam isn't done yet as I try to get my eyes to stop watering Cam places a chair on my stomach. Rilanna grabbed me just after Cam jumped from the turnbuckle. Rilanna pulled me out of the ring and helped me up the ramp. As we got half way up the ramp Ace made his presence known.
"This match will be restarted. As for you Ms Ray you can take your seat on commentary and stay there. Cam and Cassie get fighting." I got back into the ring to be met with a spear. Cam getting on top of me throwing punch after punch to me. I tried to block them only getting hit with a few as the ref pulled Cam off. I rolled out of the ring I heard the crowd go wild as I felt the ring move. I looked to see Celeste taking it to Cam. I slowly got up as the ref got them separated. Celeste came over to me helping me to the back.
"CASSIE! Oh I'm so sorry! I would have told you everything, but I couldn't not with Cam hanging about. Vinnie wanted you punished for what happened to Stu in the ring. I had to put you in that match. I was supposed to get Celeste straight away, but every thing's just been so crazy I never got the chance."
"Freya I don't wanna hear your excuses, there was plenty of times you could've told me over the week." She hung her head, knowing I was right. She knew how to get a hold of me, and she didn't. I don't care about the match or how it turned it out. I was more pissed that she couldn't explain to me why until after the match.
"I know I just, I should have tried a little harder to tell you. Cassie all I can say is sorry. It was better than putting you on suspension like he wanted to do." She took off before I could say anything. Maybe I was being to hard on her. She doesn't have the easiest job around here right now. I would find her later and talk to her about everything.
"It's gonna be ok Cassie. Now lets go find that cute and dorky brother of yours." Celeste said with a goofy grin on her face.
"Wait you like my brother?" She nodded. "Like Matt?" I asked not understanding why she would like him for.
"Yes as in Matt. I'm not his sister, so I don't find him gross like you do."
"Well it's a good thing you're not his sister as that would be just wrong if you had a crush on your brother. I don't find him gross just an annoying little thing."
"Yea sure Cassie you know you love him, but uh I gotta run." I raised an eyebrow as she took off. I turned around to see Matt, Phil and Serge walk up. Matt and Serge stayed back as Phil walked up. He placed his hands on my waist.
"Some match huh?"
"Yea, what's going on?" I asked. I personally didn't know Serge, but I know that his uncle was Rey but that was the extant of it.
"I promised Rey I would keep an eye on him. How would ya feel if he joined the uh stable?" He asked with a nervous smile on his face. That's when I knew that I didn't have a say in the matter.
"The more the merry really. The more guys on the stable the better chance we have."
"You're not pissed?"
"Nah I'm pissed you didn't talk to me about it first but that's nothing really." I told him wrapping my arms around his neck. He pressed his lips to mine. Matt pulling us apart.
"I don't care how long you two have dated or if you are engaged I don't like watching you suck each others faces off." I rolled my eyes at Matt.
"Welcome to the stable Serge." I said extending my hand out to him. He shook my hand.
"Gracias, Señora Cassie." I went to reply to Serge. But of course I get cut off, but not by someone that I had expected it to be.
"Ah Cassandra a word please." I turned around to see Vince McMahon standing there a smirk in place. He doesn't scare me as much as he did years ago when I first started out but the guy still scares me some.
"Look Mr. McMahon what ever you have to say to me you can say in front of my brother, my boyfriend and Serge for that matter." I told him leaning into Phil as he gently and comforting squeezed my shoulder. Just the look on his face told me I was in for it now.
"Cassandra I don't know what it is you think you're playing at! You and your whole damn stable! Celeste running around attacking stars! Serge breaking script! Who the hell do you think you are? And what do you think you are doing?" You could tell that his voice echoed down the corridor, as Freya jogged up to us.
"They are doing exactly as I told them!" Freya snapped coming up level with us. "This is my show and the only thing out of my control is that douche bag Laurinaitis!"
"Watch your tone young lady!"
"Bite me Vinnie, this is my show and my roster. They have done nothing except for follow my orders." Freya glared at him. We tried to disguise a few sniggers.
"I told them you weren't ready for this! Paul isn't going to hear the end of this!"
"Oh shut up! You have no idea the state this company is in! What I'm doing is trying to bring it back to the forefront of entertainment make it cool again! If you don't like, lump it! And I will not tolerate you shouting at my stars!" Freya growled at him. He looked shocked and angry. I really though Freya was in for it now. Then a smile slowly crept on to his face.
"I might just make a McMahon out of you yet." He replied waltzing off and I swear there was a spring in his step. I knew I was shocked and looking around at the others it was clear to see they were just as shocked.
"What?" Freya asked.
"Freya you did not need to do that for me." Serge smiled. "Thank you though."
"It's ok Serge." Freya looked at me and offered me a small smile. "Again I'm sorry Cassie." Freya turned to see Mike. I sighed a little. I felt guilt wash over me as I was being hard on Freya over this. It wasn't her fault. I am apart of the roster so I should know how to wrestle and expect it from time to time. After all this isn't the first time I've had to wrestle. I've had to team with Matt and Mike on the indy scene before. I had to make it up to Freya some how. I kissed Phil and took off heading down the hall trying to find either Mike or Freya. I saw that Freya was with James so I took off in search of Mike and I found him in catering sitting alone in the back.
"Hey Mike." I said sitting across from him. He looked up at me. You could say that I haven't really talked to or got along with the self pro claimed Awesome one.
"What do you want Cassie? Don't you think you've caused enough trouble around here as of late?" Mike snapped.
"Ya know what Mike I was trying to help you, but forget it." I snapped right back at him getting up.
"Cassandra wait." I turned around looking at him.
"What?" He sighed running his hands over his face.
"Help me with what exactly?"
"Freya. I know you like you her."
"Is.. Is it that obvious?" Mike asked a little worried.
"Yes, but Mike she's had a hard day today. So whatever she did to piss you off this much let it go. Just man up and go to her tonight and talk to her."
"I don't know Cassie, but uh thanks."
"It was nothing Mike. Just don't miss your chance." I told him walking off. I groaned seeing Cam in front of me. I looked around and saw that I couldn't escape.
"You have guts Cassandra." I rolled my eyes.
"Why's that?" I asked wanting to be any where but here.
"You had the courage to show up for the match."
"I have no reason not to show up Cam. I don't back down from a fight."
"I don't care about that Cassandra but do know that I hold some respect for you, but I still don't like you." Cam started to walk off.
"I still don't care Cam." I told her walking off. I can't remember when or why we hate each other for, but frankly right now I really don't give a damn. I walked into the locker room getting my stuff together and getting a shower in well Phil was out for his match. I walked out dressed and refreshed. I stuffed my stuff into my bag and left the divas locker room heading back to Phil's. I walked in to see him getting his shoes on.
"I thought we could just stay in and I could take care of you tonight babe." I smiled pressing my lips against his.
"Sounds good baby. Can we stopped and get Mexican on the way to the hotel?" Phil smiled grabbing my bags with his and taking my hand as we walked out.
"You know I would do anything for you sugar plum." I playfully hit his arm. He chuckled lightly. I hated that nick name and he had to bring it up every so often. Phil stopped and got our food on the way. We walked hand in hand to the room. I saw Mike pacing in front of Freya's room. I walked into the room forgetting everything but Phil. I sat on the bed Phil behind me massaging my shoulders as we had the radio on. A perfect night to a crazy day. I really hate to see what's gonna happen tomorrow night at the tapings.
