"priests who championed human rights"
Alexandra Calaway, a champion, a defending champion, until the world fell apart. Still Tatiana wanted to come for her and she was willing to put the woman on the mat again. It was only a matter of time before Tatiana came for her and it would be the same results again for her.. another loss.
Lunch with an old friend
Tatiana Jolee, the former Television Champion.. a woman Alexandra had defeated already. It seems that slips Tatiana's mind. Perhaps she's got a gap in her memory that keeps her from remembering that Alexandra had taken her chances at holding the Television Title again. Perhaps she's had one too many blows to her head and she's got serious gaps in her memory that cause these tiny moments of forgetfulness.
"Again.. how many times am I going to have to face Tatiana Jolee, before she realizes she isn't on my level.. that I've surpassed her in every way. No offense to the woman.. but look at us.. we are the same age.. the same amount of time in this industry and the best she can taught is that she was the Television Champion. Meanwhile, last week, I fought the likes of Dionysus and Kidsgrove, while she was still licking her wounds from the last few times she's had her ass whipped."
Alexandra felt a tap on her shoulder and looked up at her friend, Tyler who was at the restaurant with her.
"You know she's probably going to use the same old song and dance everyone does."
She put down her menu and rolled her eyes.
"I'm counting on it. People aren't very creative these days."
Tyler and Alexandra laughed, before she heard something in the distance.
"Come to us... we can help.."
Her friend Tyler looked concerned for her far off stare and snapped his fingers in her face.
"Earth to Alexandra.. focus.. we need to talk about this. Tatiana isn't a joke.. she's not someone like Thon Maker. She's a three time former Television Champion. Plus.. you still have your little stalker situation to worry about getting involved."
"Come to us Queen.. take your throne.."
Her gaze was solidly focused on the voice she was hearing. Knowing it well.
"Come to me..."
"Morpheus..."
"What?"
Tyler tilted his head looking at her, confused at her words.
"Who the fuck is Morpheus?"
He reached across the table and slapped her trying to snap her out of her trance like state. She shook her head and looked at him.
"What the fuck was that for?"
"Have you been listening to me at all?"
"Yeah, Tatiana Blah blah.. nothing like I've faced before.. I've beaten her.. nothing like Thon.. well no shit.. she's not a tall man.. My stalker.. who fucking cares.. they cost me before, they'll come out and do it again.. only this time.. there wont be the chance to run away.. this time I'll pursue and rip that fucking mask off her face. Then we will all know whos behind it."
Tyler flinched back and she laughed a bit.
"Sometimes you scare me.. you know that."
"Poor Tyler.. big bad man.. scared of a girl.. But you didn't answer my question.. who's Morpheus..."
Alexandra lifted her menu back up and hummed a song softly.
"You'll all see soon enough.."
The two friends ordered their food and then left, going their separate ways.
Dreamkiller Queen
Alexandra sighed softly as she began to push the button to start recording a live video on her social medias. In the background a soft song played, eerie and cold. She sat on a large high back chair, that resembled a throne, around her the lights were a purple hue and she took a deep breath, beginning to speak.
"Do I need to sit here and list all the people I have defeated for you all once again.. so be it. If it what is needed, my first day in the company.. I beat Alina.. who disappeared just as quickly as I pinned her. Then yes, I lost to Void, when I was knocked out of the ring and he pinned Thon .. not me. Then the following week I went on to win the Television title.. beating not only Void and Max.. but my opponent for this week, Tatiana Jolee.. now what does that say about tonight? huh? But lets continue with our little list.. who else did I defeat as champion.. who did I defend against over and over.. CARRYING that title for a month?"
She took another breath, pausing for a moment before continuing.
"I went on to defend that title against, Sexy Bond Goldfinger, John Black, Thon Maker, and then.. almost a month to the day after winning that Television Title.. I lost to Marcus Collins, who then faced Addy A and I.. only to lost it to her. Now tell me.. during all of that.. where were you? That's right.. doing the thing you seem to be doing a lot lately.. LOSING. Just like you'll lose to me.. You know.. if you were smart.. you would have been out there watching my matches week in and week out if you really wanted to find a way to beat me. But it's simple.. you can't. You and I both know that when it comes down to it.. you simply aren't on the same level."
She let out a soft chuckle before continuing.
"So come on then.. let's dance. But know this.. when you step into that ring with me.. I do have one dream of yours that I can kill.. the dream of ever holding a win over me."
She brought her hand up to her throat and in a very cold, romanesque fashion she drew it over her throat, signaling ending her.
"Tonight.. it's GAME OVER.. You've met your final boss."
With that she snapped her fingers and the lights went out. Behind her though, a single flame burned brightly in the darkness. As the cold haunting melody played and a voice spoke.
"Our Queen.. has arrived..."
