Am I Hunted(o2a)

[ReD]

The Red hits the speakers as ReD walks out on stage. She has a mic as she heads to the ring. Once she is there, she climbs in the ring and moves to the middle. She brings the mic to lips.

"So... I get the feeling I am not well liked around here. Like people are out to get me... Which is fine... I stand and fight. I'll never run away from a fight. Not always the best why to be.. But it's all I know.

"So far I know of two hellcats out for my blood... One who calls me Lover... The other thinks herself much more then she is... Though, last week I took it to "Lover" hard.... She put me on her list... I put her on the "ReD-Line".

But the reason I am out here is I want a match this week, and need to know if their are more out to get me... I am here to prove my worth... Are their any who think I don't belong?

[Lessien Melwasul]

~There's no music. There are no lights. There is no explosion of fucking doom. It's only the voice of Lessien that answers the question that hangs in the air.~

"You haven't changed a thing, Lover. You have not changed a mind."

"Change has no meaning in her eyes."

~The form of Lessien appears from behind the curtain, she does not pause and continues walking and talking towards the ring.~

"Win a match. Wash your hair. Repeat? You think none of this matters!?"

~Lessien slips between the ropes with practiced ease.~

"Look at me."

~Betty smirks and asks her own question.~

"Do you really think you're done with me?"

[ReD]

"From what little I know of you and your actions... No I understand you will keep coming. We will keep doing this dance... Though, the question is... What happens if you can NOT defeat me. Like last week... You showed up to the ring and I took you apart.... What happens when that keeps happening?

[Lessien Melwasul]

"What happens, Lover?"

~The form of Lessien paces around ReD. She paces while she is deep in thought.~

"What happens if this company goes under next week? What happens if your apartment explodes? What happens if you meet the person of your dreams, breed, grow fat and die?"

"Your future is blinding me"

~The form of Lessien stops in front of ReD. Her eyes hidden deep behind her black sunglasses.~

"But if you're looking for some way to git rid of me more permanently? Then you're almost there. Three times, Lover."

"Say my name an I'll come back to you."

~Alice purred.~

"Three times, you beat me one on one? And you'll live each day knowing that you'll never hear my voice in your ear again. Two more times, ReD and your name will live forever on her pages. Two more times and your name will never be erased."

[ReD]

With a look of shock, she got a simple answer for her.

"Two more times and we're done with this dance. Well I guess the next question is... How shall we do this round two... Strike two.... The mid way point. How shall we do this?

[Lessien Melwasul]

"Escalation, Lover?"

"You want me more and more."

~The form of Lessien turned away, the microphone still to her lips.~

"Then escalation you shall have."

"A forest bird never wants a cage."

~Alice warns poetically from far away inside.~

"So let's see how you perform when you're locked in one with me."

~Lessien slips between the ropes and back out to the floor.~

"See you at Anthrax 4."
