Chapter 2 – My Thoughts Are My Own.

Melina looked at Victoria then suddenly burst into tears again this time she seemed inconsolable as Trish put her arm around her. Trish looked over at the other women as though she didn't know what to do.

"That's just a coincidence there's been tons of story lines with marriages in them," Dawn shrugged.

"Yeah take me for example I've been in two in the same year," Amy said knowingly.

"Yeah and don't forget the one I was in too," Dawn chimed in.

"I'm going to die aren't I?" Melina said in between sniffles her head hung low.

"No of course your not don't be ridiculous," Trish said rubbing Melina's back.

"What exactly did she say to you?" Victoria asked.

Melina took a few seconds to catch her breath back and wiped the tears away then looked up at the other women.

"The card that represented my outcome was death," Melina said.

"Yeah but that doesn't mean your death does it?" Trish said soothingly.

Melina shook her head and shrugged tears still falling.

"Well there you go then it could be anything like your dog for example or maybe something else," Dawn said shrugging.

"I don't have a dog." Melina whimpered in between breathes.

"It could be one of us even," Amy said loudly breaking the silence.

All four women suddenly looked over at Amy a little surprised by what she'd just said Amy just shrugged quietly.

"It could be."


Two hours later all five of the Diva's were back at the hotel, they were all staying at the same one as both RAW and Smackdown were in the same city which was a rarity these days. Dawn and Melina were Smackdown Diva's while Trish, Amy and Victoria were on RAW. Seeing as it was the Royal Rumble in four days both shows were close by and that meant sharing the same hotel with each other.

When all five had returned back in to the hotel lobby they had decided to go their separate ways and meet up later for dinner except for Dawn who of course had her date later. Of course only three of them actually felt like meeting up later as Melina was still a little down from her news. The other four had spent the last hour and a half trying to convince her that she wasn't going to die but hadn't had any luck. So they had persuaded her to go and find Johnny her boyfriend as he always had a way of making her see sense that nobody else could. So Victoria, Trish and Melina headed off to the arena and Dawn and Amy stayed behind at the hotel.

Dawn and Amy who were sharing a room were currently inside it at the moment. Amy was lay on her bed thinking while Dawn was taking a shower and had been for the last half an hour. Amy's mind travelled to what the lady had told her this morning the words kept running through her mind unsure of exactly what Madam Rosemoor meant. There was the obvious in Matt but he and Amy were over and had been for nearly two years now plus he had a new girlfriend in Ashley but for some reasons she kept thinking about him and found herself wondering just what her old love could be.

Before she knew it she had climbed off her bed and had reached into her suitcase for her phone book and was now flipping through the pages to see if she could see any old loves or maybe just old acquaintances or bad dates anything would do right now.

A few minutes later Dawn finally emerged out of the shower towels wrapped tightly around her stopping for a few seconds and looking round as she couldn't see Amy. Hearing a noise she looked down and saw the redhead sat cross-legged on the floor. Amy looked up and gave a small smile.

"What are you doing?" Dawn asked drying her hair with a towel.

"Oh nothing," Amy said quietly not looking up.

"You're lying," Dawn said shooting her a knowing look.

"It's just what I was told this morning it got me thinking a little you know and well I'm just going through my old phone book," Amy explained.

"Amy your not seriously believing what that woman told you are you?" Dawn said loudly stopping what she was doing to stare at Amy.

"Well no…but I mean look at Vicky," Amy shrugged.

Dawn sighed then walked over to Amy and grabbed her phone book and threw it in the trash can. Amy laughed a little and stood up.

"I need that."

"No you don't and I don't want to hear anymore of that stupid woman's fortunes," Dawn sighed drying herself. "We've wasted enough time already on what she told us. We make our own futures nobody else," Dawn said with raised eyebrows.

"Dawn why are you so against it? Would it kill you to just believe her for five seconds?" Amy sighed.

"Amy am I the only one who sees this woman is a fraud who's giving us false hopes and not to mention scaring the shit out of poor Mel," Dawn said annoyed.

Amy looked at Dawn there was something she wasn't telling her but Amy just shrugged, "Yeah I guess your right it would be stupid to believe them. I guess I just like the idea of normality back in my life."

Amy sighed a little then resumed her place back on her bed and watched Dawn get ready as this was quite a show as Dawn was very meticulous.

"So where are you two going tonight?" Amy asked.

"Not sure he's deciding." Dawn shrugged applying moisturizer to herself.

Amy nodded and looked a little hesitant but spoke anyway, "so you got over Kurt quick then."

"Well there's no use sitting round mopping about it he decided to try again with his wife and I'm just moving on." Dawn said sounding cheery.

"You okay?" Amy asked sympathetically.

"Of course I am," Dawn said confidently.

"Well if you want to talk you know where I am," Amy smiled.

"Really Ames I'm fine," Dawn shrugged the comment off.

Amy frowned a little knowing there was something Dawn wasn't telling but obviously she didn't want to talk about it. Amy knew Dawn had had a crush on Kurt for a while but seeing as he was married nothing had happened. Then a few months ago Kurt had surprised everyone by informing them that he was getting a divorce. That was where it got sketchy for Amy, as she knew something had happened between Dawn and Kurt, but all she knew now was that Kurt was trying again with his wife and Dawn refused to discuss the topic and would claim she was fine.

Dawn looked over at Amy and saw she was lay back down on the bed. Dawn sighed a little as she had lied to Amy she had lied to everyone when they had asked her if she was okay. Insisting that she was Dawn remained tight lipped about it and swore to herself she wouldn't talk about it to anyone as it was far too painful. Nobody knew what had happened between them those few weeks except her and Kurt and Dawn was determined to keep it that way.

FLASHBACK

Dawn

"Very interesting."

"What is?" Dawn asked peering over at the cards not that they made any sense to her whatsoever.

They had been lay out on the table with five in the position of a cross and then four separate cards in a row diagonally at the side of it. Dawn stared at the cards for a long time sensing a dread come over her what exactly did they all mean.

"The moon is the first card I see this represents the atmosphere around the question you are asking." The woman looked up at Dawn, "fear…you are afraid my dear, you are anxious."

"Excuse me."

"You are deceiving yourself about the issue you feel you've become lost some how," The woman said looking down thoughtful.

"I do?" Dawn asked now a little intrigued.

Madam Rosemoor moved her hand to the second card in the middle of the cross, "The two of swords," Madam Rosemoor looked up into Dawn's eyes, "The obstacle in your way is…you, this card represents blocked emotions, avoidance, denying of ones true feelings," Madam Rosemoor pointed to the card, "Notice the blindfold on this woman. She can't look at the truth or even acknowledge that there is trouble."

Dawn remained silently looking at the card and sure enough it was of a woman sat with a blindfold on Dawn look up at Madam Rosemoor speechless for the first time she was a little lost for words. How did this woman know Dawn hadn't told anybody?

"The Two of Swords often appears when you are not willing to accept some truth about yourself or the situation. Every time we close off our heart, we find it more difficult to open again."

Dawn nodded silently as she took the woman's words in.

Madam Rosemoor moved onto the next card, "the six of swords my dear this represents your goal."

"What does it mean?" Dawn asked wide-eyed.

"The Six of Swords indicates recovery," Madam Rosemoor smiled brightly causing Dawn to return the smile, "You've suffered a tough time lately this is a good card for you."

"Okay" Dawn said quietly.

Madam Rosemoor nodded and moved to the next card, "the nine of wands my dear this represents the situation you are in, you've been emotionally hurt lately but its made you stronger as a person your being very careful," Madam Rosemoor smiled, "but you must be sure not to be too careful. Everyone needs a little help now and again just be sure to ask for it."

Dawn nodded still silent she'd hate to admit it but she believed this woman even more with every word.

"Now to the future," Madam Rosemoor said cheerfully as she turned the next card and smiled again, "the tower most intriguing."

"What do you mean?" Dawn seemed anxious.

"A sudden change is in store for you a revelation maybe," Madam Rosemoor nodded.

"How sudden? Dawn asked immediately.

"Immanent," Madam Rosemoor smiled looking up, "sometimes change is gradual and gives us time to react but not this one that is the power the tower possess."

Dawn gulped slightly as a change wasn't what she needed right now.

Moving on to the next card Madam Rosemoor smiled again, "the wheel of fortune my dear not only are you going to have a change but a life changing one some might say a change of destiny, this card can indicate a sudden realisation that can strike with great force."

Dawn furrowed her brow this was getting worse.

The next card Madam Rosemoor had picture of a man and a woman holding hands, "the lovers this card represents the outside world, as another sees you. I see a relationship in the future maybe a certain person who cares deeply about you and you care about too."

Dawn nodded slightly she was starting not to believe the woman now as there was only one man Dawn cared about and there was no way of her being with him.

"Yes I understand in fact this card represents your uncertainties," Madam Rosemoor said as she turned another card, "good…the Nine of Cups is known as the wish card. It shows your wish will come true. A wonderful prospect, but remember your fairy tale lessons," Madam Rosemoor

Dawn nodded it seemed good but she still didn't believe there was no way her wish would ever come true.

"Okay and finally the outcome," Madam Rosemoor turned the final card, "the fool."

Dawn laughed out loud at this. It seemed the cards were right as that was what she had felt like lately.

Madam Rosemoor shook her head, "no my dear this represents a new beginning, faith, the Fool tells you to believe in yourself and follow your heart no matter how crazy or foolish your impulses may seem."

Dawn simply stared at the old woman speechless.

END FLASHBACK

Dawn could still hear Madam Rosemoor's words ringing in her ears. Follow your heart. Dawn laughed a little and rolled her eyes. Yeah she'd followed her heart alright and all she had got in return was a low blow shaking her head she though no more from now on she was going to have no strings attached fun.


Trish, Victoria and Melina were currently wondering around the arena that Sunday's Royal Rumble was being broadcast from. Melina was on her way to find Johnny and Joey as she needed to go over some things with them and she also needed a little comfort form her boyfriend Johnny Nitro as she was still very upset.

Victoria was going to find Jason aka Christian so she could go over a few things with him regarding their upcoming storyline and she had to speak to Vince about what she was doing that night. While Trish was looking for Mickie and Ashley to discuss the match Sunday, which she was special guest referee.

"So what are you doing for the Rumble?" Trish asked looking over at Victoria.

"Oh just more stupid Vince's Devils crap," Victoria sighed.

"I feel for you I really do. Sometimes that man creeps me out," Melina said quietly.

"Well at least this new storyline will put you back in the ring," Trish said hopefully.

"Yeah I get to be a valet to Jay. A valet just what I've been working for over the past ten years to become a valet," Victoria sighed louder.

"I just don't understand why they won't let you wrestle. Seriously the women's division is so bad right now," Trish sighed.

"Tell me about it," Victoria sighed, "At least you get to fight once in a while, all I do is hang around with my boobs out."

Trish and Victoria laughed a little at this as it was true the women's division was going down hill and fast. No one was feeling the effects as much as Victoria who used to be know as one of the best women's wrestlers of today but lately she had been down graded to just backstage segments and other tits and ass things. Victoria wasn't happy about this as she had told Vince on many occasions but had just been ignored. Slowly she had just given up trying and had just gone along telling herself she was happy…but knowing different deep inside her own thoughts.

As they continued to walk through the corridors backstage they saw Jason emerging from the men's locker room he turned to see the three approaching women.

"Ladies hello…and how's my future wife?" Jason smiled widely walking towards the three women.

Both Trish and Victoria began to laugh a little at his words but they could also hear Melina start to whimper at his words. Everyone looked at the brunette.

"You okay?" Trish asked.

"Yeah I'm just…" Melina sighed "I'm gonna go find Johnny." Melina said hurrying off in the other direction.

Jason silently watched her walk away then looked at the other two a little confused.

"Something I said?"


Melina walked silently backstage looking for MNM's dressing room after a couple of minutes she found it. Walking in she was greeted by Joey Mercury who was sat on the ground stretching just having finished his workout he smiled as he saw her walk in.

"I thought you were taking the day off?"

"Is Johnny around?" Melina asked silently.

"I think he said something about going for food….you okay?" Joey asked standing up.

"Yeah I'm fine." Melina said nodding.

"How'd the fortune teller go? You find out anything interesting?" Joey asked walking closer.

Melina didn't answer his question she burst into tears to which he was a little taken back but walked over and put his arm round her. Just then the door to the dressing room opened and Johnny Nitro walked in and saw the scene before him. Confusion spread across his face also as he and Joey shared the same expression.

"Babe what's wrong?" Johnny asked walking over and taking Joey's place.

"I'm going to die," Melina cried.

"What!" He looked over at Joey who was sharing his confused look.

"My fortune said I'm going to die," Melina cried.

"No way," Joey said stunned.

"I am and soon I know it." Melina continued to cry.

Johnny sighed and lead Melina over to some chairs and sat her down then knelt in front of her looking into her blurry eyes. After a few seconds Melina had stopped crying and was just sniffling. Finally she spoke.

"The woman told me my outcome was death I saw it the card...it was horrible."

"And you believe it?" Johnny asked.

"Of course I believe it she told Vicky she was getting married and she is and my aunt Gabrielle," Melina said in between breaths of air.

"Victoria's getting married?" Joey asked surprised.

"Focus!" Melina yelled.

"Oh sorry."

"Mel your not going to die that woman was obviously wrong. I don't know why you're so worked up over this. Most of these people are frauds who just want your money,I really wouldn't worry abou it," Johnny said rubbing her back soothingly.

"Your not taking me serious just like the girls didn't," Melina began to cry again.

"Can't those things stand for anything doesn't have to mean it's a person," Joey said scrunching his nose up.

Melina didn't respond she just continued to cry, sighing Johnny stood up and sat next to Melina on a chair.

"Maybe you should go back to the hotel and get some rest, you know clear your head."

"You don't believe me do you?" Melina looked from man to man.

"It's just how much of these things can you believe?" Johnny said sighing slightly.

Melina stood up and looked at both men angrily.

"FINE!" Melina walked to the door. "Don't believe me but you'll see when I die and you feel bad."

"Mel…" Johnny said quickly.

Melina opened the door and didn't look back then slammed it shut and left the two men looking at each other confused.

"Was it just me or did she overreact slightly," Johnny asked his friend.

"Dude she was told she was going to die, Joey said frowning.

"Not you too..." Johnny sighed.

"Well come on you hear things like this all the time people being told they are going to die then find out they have cancer or some shit like that," Joey said nodding to himself.

"Yeah but it can't be true…can it?" Johnny didn't seem convinced.

"Maybe you should go after her?" Joey said nodding.

"What and lose my head," Johnny laughed, "It's best to give her some space when she's like this trust me I have experience. I'll talk to her later when she's had a chance to calm down."

Johnny and Joey nodded in agreement as Johnny was right after nearly two years of dating Melina he knew when a good time was and when a bad time was. He knew when to give the feisty Diva her space and this was one of those times.


Trish wondered slowly round the arena corridors searching for either Mickie or Ashley. Trish had already been to the place where they were training and had been told they were in catering so she had set off for catering and had been told they were in the Diva's locker room. Trish had arrived at the locker room to be told they were at training. Sighing to herself she began to feel as though someone was playing a practical joke on her.

After deciding to give training one more try before she called it a day and would head back to the hotel Trish began to make her way over. Walking slowly as her feet were beginning to hurt her from the heels she had decided to where, which she was now regretting a lot. Trish finally had enough and stopped to bend over and pulled the annoying pair of stilettos of her feet and sighed happily before doing a little dance in the hallway.

After a few seconds she heard clapping coming from behind her. Stopping dead in her tracks Trish turned round feeling a little embarrassed. Seeing the man stood behind her made her cheeks flush red, why out of all the people here did it have to be him?

"Hey Trish long time no see I'd ask how've you been but I can see that." The man laughed raising his eyebrows.

"Yeah, yeah very funny." Trish rolled her eyes.

"So how have you been I haven't spoken to you in long time." The man asked walking closer.

"Yeah your right it has been a while." Trish said thoughtful.

The words stuck in her head as she spoke them she hadn't seen this person for a while. Coming out of her thoughts Trish shook her head slightly there was no way she'd ever fall in love with this guy.


A/N: Hope you liked it I will be doing flashbacks for all the Diva's throughout the story. I have so many ideas for this story and not everything is as straightforward as it seems.

Thank you for the reviews so far I'm surprised so many people liked it anyway please don't forget to review!
