Author's Note: Not much of the Sawyer girls except for their tag match. Athena has to deal with not only fighting the other team but her own team. Everyone just tries to keep level heads. Thanks to coolchic79260 for reviewing.
Disclaimer: I only own Athena, Devon, Colton, and the various other OCs that wonder about. Otherwise TNA has rights to their wrestlers and the wrestlers own themselves
~~~~~~~~~Thursday July 14th, 2011 Sawyer's Locker room (Athena's POV)~~~~~~~
All I knew was that I was stuck in a twelve Knockout tag match. If there was one thing I knew it was that all the boys would be standing ringside for us. There was a lot of them. We sat to watch what Immortal was doing.
"I don't understand this." Devon said.
"No one does baby." Jamie said.
"I'm so confused." I said.
"We all are." Colton said. We watched as the lights went out and Ken came out in a cameo suit.
"Was he in the middle of hunting?" Colton asked.
"I don't know." Jamie said. We watched as they continued to talk. I wasn't really paying attention anymore. That was until lights went out again. Sting and Serena were suddenly in the ring.
"That is really creepy." Jamie said.
"Yes well. At least Serena is the more sane one." I said. We watched as Sting lost his mind just about. He had started throwing cards around.
"I wonder how many aces there are." I mused.
"Excellent question that we don't have an answer too." Jamie said. I smiled as we watched. He showed the clowns and I shivered.
"I'm not usually afraid of clowns but those scare me." I said.
"I think we all feel that way." Colton said.
"I want to focus on our match not this craziness." Jamie said.
"I'm with you. I don't want to do this match. I mean I have to work with Portia." I said.
"You still don't like her?" Jamie asked.
"Not at all." I muttered. I stood and headed toward my bag. Sasha had the night off. I had picked my own ring gear. I didn't mind it. I watched the Bound for Glory triple threat. I was pulling for Bobby but no one else needed to know that. Out of all of them I was hoping Bobby could win. I had gotten to know Brianna and she wasn't that bad.
I closed my eyes. Something was off. I suppose it wasn't close to the end of the month but by my count it was wrong. I shook it off and turned my attention back to the match.
"Where is Tommy?" Colton asked.
"In his locker room probably." I answered. I watched at how Bobby was handling the match. He was starting to build momentum back up. I wasn't in it tonight. I just knew I had to work my match and it will all go well. Well I hoped it would. I didn't know what Portia would do. I watched as Bobby picked up the win. I was sort of afraid for Earl. I just hoped he didn't have a heart attack.
"You want to get changed?" Devon asked.
"Not yet. Still too early." I answered.
"I'll be back." Colton said as he left.
"Oh great Karen and Jeff are back." Jamie sneered after Colton had left.
"Not cool." I muttered. We watched as Immortal had that little conversation and then Karen and Jeff showed up. I shook my head.
"I think she's drunk or high." I said.
"I'm with you on that." Jamie said.
"I'm not going to say anything against that." Devon said.
I sort of agreed with what Devon was saying. Something was right with the Pope. Maybe it was just me. We watched Shannon's match with Austin. I was hoping for Shannon to win. I looked up when Colton walked back in with both Matt and Tommy.
"This should be an interesting night." Colton said.
"You're telling me." Devon said. I shook my head when Austin got the win by hitting Shannon with the chain.
"That was low." I muttered.
"It happens in this business." Matt said.
"I know but I can voice my opinion." I said. Matt nodded his head. We watched as Shannon and Alex talked about Austin and Austin talked about himself.
"I don't like him." Devon said.
"No one does." Jamie said. We watched as a clown attacked Abyss.
"Well that's what they are here for." I mused.
"I'm glad I'm not Immortal." Colton said. I nodded my head. Before that though we watched Scott get attacked by another clown. Madison Rayne and Tara's match was next.
"Let's go get changed." Jamie said. I nodded my head as we grabbed our stuff and headed into the bathroom. I had left my brown hair down. I was pulling off the jeans I had been wearing to put on a pair of dark blue short shorts. I looked at Jamie.
"Can you tie me up?" I asked.
"Yeah." Jamie said. I pulled off my tank top and put on the crimson corset top. Jamie tied the pitch black ribbons. I looked at Devon. Devon was in a pair of dark blue jeans and a "Matt Morgan Helix T-shirt". I watched as she gathered it and turned toward me.
"Tie it for me please?" She asked. I nodded my head and tied the shirt for my sister so it showed her stomach. Velvet had put on her usual black pants and she was wearing her Gangsta shirt. We walked back out to see the match was coming to the end.
"Who is going out first?" Colton asked.
"Athena and I, then its Eve Kendrick, Lust, Star, and then Velvet Sky." Devon answered. Colton nodded his head. I put my title belt on my left shoulder while Devon put hers on her right. We left the locker room with Tommy and Matt following after us. I took a deep breath.
"You ready for this?" Tommy whispered.
"Born ready." I answered as we stepped out.
"Hold It Against Me" by Britney Spears was playing.
"First they are the Knockout Tag Champions being accompanied by Crimson and Matt Morgan Athena and Devon Sawyer Femme Fatale." Christy said. Devon and I were walking down the ramp when we saw a guy in the front row holding a sign. I stopped my sister. It was a simple sign. White poster board with black marker. Devon and I looked at the sign. It read "Please Hold It Against Me Athena and Devon." I looked at my sister and we walked toward the fan. I stood on his right while she stood on his left. We hugged him between us and gave him a kiss on the cheek. We pulled away and continued into the ring. I looked back at Matt and Crimson and saw the looks on their faces.
"Our first sign give us a break." Devon said. I nodded my head. Our music was cut off and replaced by "Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva.
"Their partner from Los Angeles, California being accompanied by the TNA X Division Champion Brian Kendrick Eve Kendrick." Christy said. Even and Brian walked to the ring. We were standing together when Eve's music was cut off and replaced by "Move Your Body" by My Darkest Days. I subconsciously wrapped my arms around Crimson's waist. It was a show of power.
"Their partner from Brooklyn, New York being accompanied by Amazing Red Lust." Christy said. I saw she had skipped a beat before she continued down the ramp. Lust looked at me but I ignored her. Her music was cut off and replaced by "Sexy, Naught, Bitchy Me" by Tata Young. I was glad that it was Star.
"Their partner from Baton Rouge, Louisiana being accompanied by Alex Shelley Star Jarrett." Christy said. I smiled at how the team was coming together. I just hoped we could keep it together. Star got into the ring and looked between all of us. Finally Star's music was cut off and replaced by "Angel On My Shoulder" by Dale Oliver.
"Finally from The Big Apple being accompanied by Colton Sawyer Velvet Sky." Christy said. Velvet stood next to me and hooked an arm around my waist. It was a show that we were Femme Fatale no matter what. I mean eventually we were going to collapse but I was just glad it wasn't going to be any time soon. I looked around us. Velvet's music was cut off and replaced by "5150".
"Their opponents first from Mexico being accompanied by Anarquia and Hernandez Rosita Mexican America." Christy said. We sort of backed up to allow the opponents to get in the ring. When Mexican America's music was cut off I was shocked to hear Miss Tessmacher's play.
"She's out of character." I whispered.
"Yes well have you seen the small amount of heels we have?" Star asked. I nodded my head.
"Her partner from Houston, Texas being accompanied by Jesse "The Outlaw" Andreakos Miss Tessmacher." Christy said. I watched as they walked into the ring. Her music was cut off and replaced by "Hands of the Wicked".
"Their partners the team of Angelina Love and Winter." Christy said. I watched as Angelina and Winter got into the ring. It reminded me of the feud we had in the beginning. I looked at Devon who had the same look. This was going to be interesting. Winter's music was cut off and replaced by "Party Animal" by Akon featuring David Guetta.
"Their partner from Atlantic City, New Jersey Tori Spiro." Christy said. I didn't mind Tori. She was actually a lot of fun to hang around. She had suggested we all go for drinks just to relax. Her music was cut off and replaced by Cookie's music.
"Their partner from the Jersey Shore being accompanied by Robbie E Cookie." Christy said. Once everyone was in the ring the boys left. I stood in the corner with the rest of the girls.
"Who should go in first?" Devon asked.
"Athena since she's the smallest." Lust said.
"I don't care. I can do this." I hissed. Everyone nodded their agreement and got out of the ring. I looked around to see I was going off against Rosita.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Devon's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I watched as my sister took it to Rosita. She actually ended up hitting Rosita with a spear. Rosita tagged out to Tori. I watched Athena back into out corner. She held out her hand and Star tagged in. Athena stood by me on the apron.
"You're doing very well with that Spear." I said.
"Thank you. I'm just glad I have Tommy helping me with it." Athena said. We watched as Star took it to Tori. I shouldn't have been surprised when it broke down. I got into the ring with the rest and I focused on Rosita. I saw Athena out of the corner of my eye take on Winter. I ended up nailing Rosita with a DDT. As we were getting out of the ring I saw Lust stick her foot out and trip Athena. I was vivid but I saw my sister brush it off and get out of the ring. Star tagged out to Eve. Eve got into the ring and nailed Hit the Floor on Tori. The other team wasn't crazy to get in the ring. Eve ended up with the victory. We got into the ring.
"The winners of the match Eve Kendrick, Athena Sawyer, Devon Sawyer, Star Jarrett, Velvet Sky, and Lust." Christy said. We stood in a line as we raised each other's arms. We felt the ring dip. We all turned to see the boys getting into the ring. Matt walked over to me as everyone did the same.
Matt leaned down and gave me a quick kiss. I turned to see that all of the boyfriends had done the same. I saw the hooded rage on Lust's face. We all headed to the back. We hadn't gotten very far past the curtain when Pamela walked over.
"Hey we should all go out for drinks." Pamela said.
"I'm going to have to pass." Athena said.
"Yeah that sounds awesome." I said. I hadn't figured out why my sister was passing on drinks. Kurt walked past us.
We made plans to get drinks before we headed back to our locker room.
"That's not like you to pass on drinks." Tommy said.
"I just don't feel up to going out tonight." Athena answered. I didn't question it as we watched Kurt talk about it. I actually chuckled when Phoenix scared Karen with the guitar.
"Now that is like Phoenix." Jamie said.
"Yes. I was wondering when that would happen." Matt said.
I watched as the cameras went back to Bischoff, Gunner, and Ray talking about taking out Sting. I shook my head as Ray said he'd be behind Gunner but he wasn't.
I raised an eyebrow as Gunner started calling out the clowns. They came out but they had Serena in front. Serena got one hit in on Gunner before the clowns took over.
"I'd say he deserved that." Colton said.
"I'm with you on that." I said. We watched as the masks hit the floor. It was revealed to be Allen, Frankie, James, and Chris.
"That's Fortune got to." Matt said.
"They were missing?" I asked.
"Yeah. Selena, Mikaela, and Celeste were worried." Matt answered. I nodded my head. We watched Sting's match with Anderson. Sting was taking it to Anderson until Anderson took out his knee and started in on it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jamie's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Something was up with Athena but I wasn't going to ask. I was sort of hoping that Sting would win the match. When Ray came out I could see Serena getting ready to get in the ring. Until of course the lights went out and another clown was in the ring.
"I thought there was only four." Athena said.
"So did everyone else." Tommy said. We watched as the lights went out again and everyone was out of the ring. Anderson was having a moment. Then again Yasmine didn't look to be completely there. The clown was at the top of the ramp and Sting had picked up the victory.
"Good." I said. We watched as the clown took off his mask and turned out to be Kurt.
"Well that will be an interesting match." Colton said. I nodded my head. We started getting our stuff together to leave. I just wanted to go to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Matt's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Devon had a better night then Athena. We'd go back to the hotel only for Devon to go back out drinking. We headed toward the car.
"You mind me going out?" Devon asked.
"No. I'm not going to stop you." I answered. Devon nodded her head.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Athena always liked to go out drinking." Devon said.
"I'm sure she just needs to unwind her way." I said.
"Right. I'm sure you're right." Devon said. I shook my head as we headed toward the hotel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tommy's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Something was wrong with Athena. We were on the way to the hotel before I asked.
"Athena are you okay?" I asked.
"I'm fine. Just didn't want to go out tonight." Athena replied.
"Is it about Portia?" I asked.
"No. I know better after our little freak out on Tuesday." Athena said.
"Athena what else is wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing. Just thinking." Athena answered. I looked at her.
"We're doing whatever you want tonight." I said. She smiled.
"You really don't have too." Athena said.
"I want to. You need that kind of time." I said. Athena shook her head as we continued toward the hotel. I had a feeling she wasn't telling me something. I'd figure it out sooner or later.
