Chapter 8

Outside the weather grew hotter by the hour as Dawn continued to labour away on her bike. She furiously worked to get the air filter cleaned and back on her bike. She worked quickly because she had this feeling in the pit of her stomach and it wasn't going away. Her mind was going a mile a minute. Something was up; something was going to happen and soon.

'I have to get away from Moondog and these boys. Shit is gonna go down and soon.'

Just as she finished snarling at her bike and tightening the last bolt, every hackle on the back of her neck rose up, and she could hear a soft "ahem". Dawn whirled around and came face to face with Shannon Moore in all his 'punk' glory who had this grin on his face. Suddenly a memory that she had long buried and forgotten came hurling back at her with the fierceness of a hurricane.

Flashback

She was watching the floor, counting the lines in the concrete as she walked over them, her eyes drifted to the shackles that bound her wrists, she winced slightly as she tried to twist her hands around but the metal kept biting into her skin. With a weird fascination she watched as drops of blood dripped from her lips and fell onto the wrist bindings.

The hands that guided her, suddenly tightened, that was her cue. She started to snarl and growl low. She was being presented to the audience. Her keepers John and Mikey presented her to the crowd. She had already won a fight, why was she in another one tonight.

The crowd went wild for her, cheers and boos, cat calls and screams all deafened her. She didn't care tonight. She just wanted to go, to feel the clean air, to see the stars. She wanted to be released so she could shower and sleep for the next 2 days and forget everything. Those blessed little purple pills that made her forget everything after nights like this. Before she knew it she was being lead out of the arena to a small side room where Gabriel was waiting to speak with her.

He stood tall in the middle of the room with his back to her, puffing away on an ungodly Marlboro red cigarette. Twilight lunged at him hoping to rip out his spine while he stood there, but Mikey and John held her tightly.

"Twilight" his voice like gravel now, "cut the bullshit out…it's a NO KILL fight, you understand that you wildcat. NO KILL. We got famous people in the audience who want to see you in action, one of their own is going up against you."

Twilight snarled, "Just show me who the fucker is, won't promise nothing, maybe a few scratches. You know how this rolls. I don't get paid unless it's a kill, and I'm not fighting this cocksucker for charity."

"Bitch!" Gabriel whirled around and grabbed her by the throat and gave a solid squeeze. "You will do as you are told. Just fight, no injuries, NO KILL! You understand?!"

Twilight gave a slight nod and back away from the three men and headed back towards the entrance to wait for her signal to enter the arena.

'Just you wait you fuckers, I'll gut all three of you, for make me do this, for being your play thing, and when I can connect my other persona with this one, you're as good as fucking dead."

Twilight stood in the entrance and watched as the other opponent worked the crowd, working them into a flurry of cheers and excitement. She got her cue to enter and it wasn't until she was half way into the arena did she recognize him.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me….of all the mutherfucker wannabe's….The Miz?! Great.'

She stood a good 10 feet away from him and surveyed the crowd. Some of the superstars from the WWE Smack Down and ECW decided to show their faces in this world. Twilight snorted as she recognized John Morrison, CM Punk, Kane, MVP, Batista, Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore.

'Over muscled pretty boys….le sigh"

She watched in slight amusement as Miz danced around her with his fists up. The other superstars cheered him on as he made the first move and tried to tackle her. Twilight snorted and charged him; she had enough of this crap. She speared him right to the back wall and started pounding on his ribs, the regular fight attendees cheered wildly while the WWE superstars cringed and tried to yell encouragement.

The arena went quiet and Twilight looked to the crowd where Gabriel was standing with a scowl on his face, none to pleased with her. The Miz's laboured breathing could be heard by all as Twilight smirked and called out, "Ma'iingan! Mìdjin!"

Twilight started to let the blood drip from her mouth as she snarled at the self proclaimed chick magnet. He looked to his friends to where stunned as she rounded on him, he held up his hands and started to speak softly, "Easy Twilight, it's all fun."

'My life stripped away is not fun! Being covered in blood 4 nights out of a week is not fun! Living this nightmare is NOT FUN!'

In a blur of action she lunged at the Miz, who shrieked like a school girl and sunk in the corner. Just then Shannon Moore landed between the two and held her back by placing his hands on her shoulders and holding her back long enough for John and Mikey to come and shackle her wrists. Shannon watched as they took her forcefully to the other corner and started beating her down until she couldn't move.

He walked over to her and squatted down beside her and took her chin in his fingers and turned her face to his and whispered. "I know that wasn't the real you, you got some hella nasty demons inside you girl, if you want help, find me." And with that he walked away from her, never to be seen again.
