Chapter 8
"So late, so late!" A blonde woman mumbled to herself as she ran frantically through the backstage area of the Mississippi Coliseum. Her blonde hair whipped madly behind her as she began to pick up speed. "Why did my plane have to be delayed?!"
"Miss Stratus!" a voice called just as she was passing a group of young interns.
"Can't talk, late!" Trish yelled as she darted down a nearby hallway.
"Watch it!" a female voice shrieked as a loud crash could be heard.
"Sorry," Trish screamed as she rushed through a group of backstage attendants. She groaned as she looked over her shoulder and noticed that she knocked two of the attendants off their feet. Ignoring her guilt, she quickly turned back around just in time to cut down another hallway.
"Yes!" Trish exclaimed as she found what she had been looking for. Straight ahead was Evolution's locker room. Jogging up to the door, Trish quickly pushed it open. A look of confusion appeared on her face as she looked around to find no one in the room.
"Miss Stratus!" a familiar voice called as Trish slowly turned around to find the young man who had called her name out earlier.
"Yes?"
"Miss Stratus, I was told to make sure this made it to you," the young intern said as he held out a letter. Trish stared skeptically at the letter for a moment before reaching out and taking the letter from the young man.
"Thank you," she said before walking into Evolution's room and shutting the door behind her. Dropping her bag onto the floor, Trish walked to a nearby couch and sat down. She pulled the letter from her pocket, opened it and began to read.
Trish,
We had some unfinished business to take care of. We'll be back soon. You're outfit is in the second locker, be ready by the time we get back.
-Ric
"Unfinished business?" Trish questioned as she slowly stood from the couch and walked over to the lockers. What could they have meant by unfinished business?
Opening the second locker, Trish peered inside. A smile soon appeared on her face as she slowly pulled out the outfit left behind. "Ric must have picked this," Trish laughed as she held up the dress in front of her to get a better look. It was a black silk and chiffon knee length, halter dress.
Trish smiled as she placed the dress back into the locker. She was just about to shut the door when a strange noise caught her attention. The sound of loud banging could be heard coming from the front door.
"I know you are in there!" an angry voice yelled following the banging.
"Kane's back," Trish mumbled as she soon realized what the unfinished business meant in the letter. Looking around, Trish wasn't sure what to do. There was no one to help her and there was no way she could make it to her cell phone across the room in time to make a phone call. Hearing the doorknob turning, Trish quickly ducked into the locker with her new dress. She then slowly raised herself onto her tiptoes. She peered through the small slits of the locker just in time to see Kane storm into the room.
"I know you're in here Evolution!" Kane yelled as he began frantically looking around. Kane grabbed onto one of the groups leather chairs, raised it above his head, and threw it into a wall. A loud crash could be heard as the chair burst into huge pieces from impact with the wall.
Trish closed her eyes praying that maybe by the time she reopened them Kane would be gone. She was wrong. Another loud bang could be heard as she watched Kane kick the bathroom door open. Trish watched Kane in horror as he slowly peered into the bathroom. If Kane kept searching like this, it would only be a matter of time before he found her.
A nervous squeak escaped Trish's lips as she noticed Kane leaving the bathroom and heading her way. Trish threw her hand over her mouth in an attempt to make sure she didn't make any other noises. Trish's body began shaking like crazy with every step he took towards her. It was only a matter of time before he found her.
Author's Note: Well there we have it, Chapter 8 is finally up after months and months of... nothing! I'm really sorry to everyone out there who has been waiting. I know, I know, I know, I'm a very bad author... but I'm going to try and be a good one. Hopefully the next Chapter will be out in a few days! I already have some really great ideas to hopefully get this story back on its feet and moving again!!
Oh, and thank you to all those who reviewed Havoc in Chapter 7 (I never got to thank ya'll!). I'm sure I ran many of you off because I haven't updated in so long, but for those who I haven't... thanks again!
-Melody
