center damn it!

Well if Betrayal leads to Armageddon, I say that my actions alone will not be enough to stop it. Let�s face it humanity is full of backstabbing two faced individuals, so much so that my contribution to it seems like a moot point. But alas if that what you think that MY actions alone will lead to it, then I say, let it come. We�ll all be better off.

I�m sorry, did I hit a sore spot bringing up your brother? Did it sting? I hope so, I hope that it stung as much as you hurt me when you decided to dig up my past, for what I believe you said was in �your best interest�. But what have you done with that information since? Nothing, but offer me a pathetic attempt at sympathy. Well I was sure that I made this very clear that the last thing that I need is sympathy, and I�m sure that I made that point many times.

Now I seem to recall the title match following the #1 contender match something that Shabree had agreed to. No one consulted the current champion, and I was under the impression that once a new champion takes the belt all promises made by the previous champion become void. And while we are on that note, what an interesting choice Winter was to defend against. Perhaps Shabree was hoping that not only would he beat you, again, and then abandon his right as the #1 contender, as he has in the past. Or perhaps you becoming the #1 contender once again was yet another one of his mind games. Something to think about perhaps?

Believe me, had I been in Shabree�s position, my choice would have been much more interesting. This whole mentor vs. pupil thing that you had going with Winter has gotten very tired. If it had been my choice, perhaps we would have seen something much more exciting. How does manager vs. client sound?

Now let me get one thing straight� you actually think me jealous of you? You? You can�t possibly be serious� Believe me Seth there are very few people in this world that I am actually jealous of and you are somewhere at the bottom of the list. The only thing that awoke the green monster in me was the fact that you, as a rookie, were given chance after chance, opportunity after opportunity , despite the fact that you clearly didn�t deserve it. What makes me feel better is despite all of those �golden� opportunities that you have been given is that you failed to capitalize on them, you�ve had enough that it would seem that you could get at least one by fluke. Meanwhile it has taken me a lot of time and effort to get to where I am now.

You really don�t know a thing about me now do you? What makes you think that it�s your leg I will go for? It didn�t work on Loanwolfe, what makes on Earth would make me think it would work on you? Granted I still regret not breaking his leg when given the chance� but that is not the technique I�m going to use with you.. . Oh no� that would be far too simple� what I have planned for you is far more painful, in every way possible. What is it? Well that�s for me to know.

Let me tell you a few things about your so called ideal relationship. One with no secrets simply does not exist. Everybody has their secrets, even you, it�s what allows the world to keep spinning. Hell you kept you past hidden from me a hell of a lot longer than I was able to keep mine from you. Why is that you might ask. Is it because I didn�t have the resources that you had a your disposal? No, because I have my connections to, yet another thing I kept from you. No, it�s because I did something that you didn�t. I respected the fact that there were things that you didn�t want to talk about, and more importantly I respected your privacy, your right to keep secrets. Maybe it�s your youth and inexperience that led to that, but right now I have someone who not only respects me, but understands me on a level that you couldn�t possibly fathom.

Some words to live by: It�s not about the kill, it�s about the pain, and yours is coming for you, hard and fast.

The scene fades in from black at a very familiar looking warehouse, inside Winter is doing a few exercises and stops suddenly as if sensing something is awry.

Winter: You are trespassing.

Drusilla walks in from the shadows,

Drusilla: Well if having uninvited guests bothers you so much I would invest in a door, one with a lock maybe.

Winter does not share Drusilla�s sense of humour, but seems intrigued that she would enter his domain willingly.

Winter: Why are you here?

Drusilla smiles,

Drusilla: I want to give you what you want.

Winter chuckles a little at her presumption.

Winter: And what might that be?

Drusilla takes a step towards him,

Drusilla: Revenge.

Winter looks at her coldly straight in the eye,

Winter: What makes you think that I need your help with that?

Winter turns away in an attempt to dismiss Drusilla,

Winter: I want nothing to do with your lovers quarrel.

Despite Winters dismissal of her, Drusilla smiles.

Drusilla: That was quite a show you put on last week.

Winter turns back to her,

Winter: What are you talking about?

Drusilla: Your match with Seth, I would have thought that you of all people would have known that I would have put it together eventually.

Winter looks at her with a raised eyebrow,

Winter: I still don�t know what you are talking about.

Drusilla: Over the past few months you have made it clear that you are just not interested in a title, not to mention one that a woman is holding. I know that you had no intention of facing Shabree for the New Wave Championship.

Winter smiles despite himself,

Winter: Indeed.

Drusilla: I must admit that was a particularly nice touch raising his arm in victory, though if one is to watch closely it was easy to see you flinch just before you did it.

Winter: Well, my dear, it seems that I may have underestimated your intelligence, but that still doesn�t give me any inclination to help you.

Drusilla: I thought that might be he case, which is why I came with something else to offer in exchange.

Winter: Really? I doubt that you have anything that I want.

Winter begins to turn away from her again,

Drusilla: Come on, hear me out.

Winter sighs and turns back to her,

Winter: Alright, but speak quickly, my patience is wearing thin.

Drusilla: If you tell me what I need to know to beat Seth in the most horrible and painful manner possible, from this moment on I will stop harassing you to have a match with me.

Winter laughs,

Winter: Any harassment that falls on deaf ears is not much of a harassment. Now that I have allowed you to speak your piece it�s time that you left my home.

Drusilla: As you wish, I shall take my leave of you, but keep in mind, this was a one time offer.

Winter: My dear you cannot take anything that I would more willingly part with.

The scene fades to black as Drusilla walks out of the warehouse.
