Britney Anders is sitting on a log by a campfire as the rest of the A-List is joining her. She has a brown sack bag to her left, and both the Hollywood Honors and the Heritage championship belts to her right on the log. The mood and setting were very 'Are You Afraid of the Dark' from the 1990's on Nickelodeon in style.
BRITNEY ANDERS:
"Sometimes, things happen for a reason. Life could be going perfect, and then, BOOM! Disaster!"
'A-List Anders' looks over at her now injured boyfriend, Kendrick Kross who shakes his head in disappointment. Britney reaches into the sack to her left and picks up a handful of what appears to be salt like dust. She tosses it at the fire.
BRITNEY ANDERS:
"This is the Tale of the Replacement Opponent."
The text flashes across the screen before fading to a more A-List styled shot of Britney Anders standing alone in a California Wrestling ring. The 'Living Doll' is wearing a black crop top, with a black, leather skirt and heels. She has the Hollywood Honors championship on her right shoulder and the Heritage championship on her left shoulder. A confident smile is on the history making champion's face.
BRITNEY ANDERS:
"At the last episode of Walk of Fame, I did what I said I was going to do. I went to the ring, and I beat Equinox, on my own, without any help and in doing so I became the first EVER Hollywood Heritage Champion!"
Anders looks to her left, and then her right, proudly nodding at both championship titles.
BRITNEY ANDERS:
"I'm literally draped in gold, and nobody can take anything away from me. But what happens? Maki aka THE REPLACEMENT OPPONENT comes back and is going to attempt to capitalize on Kendrick's injury, replacing him in what was to be the showcase of the A-Listers. Well, Maki, allow me to remind you of a few things, okay? I'm the reason Chris Compact is no longer here. I ran him out of California months ago."
Anders makes a faux-surprised face and holds her polished fingers over her mouth.
BRITNEY ANDERS:
"Oh, you don't know who that is? Maybe that's because I've been here from day one and you haven't! Anyways, moving on, I'm also the reason that Anaquin Adams, the FORMER Hollywood Honors champion left. Coincidence that as soon as I beat her, she makes an excuse and runs off too, right? Finally, Jazmin was nearly penciled in to be my opponent at Starrpower and then SHE leaves too, she saw the writing on the wall. So what happens when I give you the first crack at my Hollywood Honors championship and beat you? Are you going to go home too?"
Britney laughs as she leans back against the ropes.
BRITNEY ANDERS:
"How does it feel, Maki? How does it feel knowing that you weren't good enough to be the first challenger for my championship on the 21st? How does it feel being second rate, second fiddle? How does it feel to know that the California Princess is going to make you eat all of your stupid words at Walk of Fame? You just love to tweet about how much better you are, but what happens when I beat you on my own, just like I did against Equinox?"
The lights in the empty Warehouse flicker and eventually shut off. After about thirty seconds of blackness on the screen, we hear Britney give off a blood curdling scream. Spotlights illuminate through the darkness and show three 'shapes' with creepy white face masks. Another spotlight shines on Britney as she cowers in a corner now, clinging to her title belts. Each of the three shapes enter the ring and close in on Anders. Suddenly, her screams and fake tears turn into a laugh as she points at each one, laughing at the would be demons.
BRITNEY ANDERS:
"Really? No things that go bump in the night can scare me anymore. Look at these three 'DEMONS', they could never scare me."
Britney yanks each mask off to reveal a member of the 'A-List' under each mask. She grins at them before looking back at the camera with a look of determination on her face.
BRITNEY ANDERS: "It doesn't matter who shows up at Walk of Fame. It could be Maki, or it could be the Demoness. Gone are the days of me fearing you because you spit out blood, or have a really creepy face. I've watched Kendrick defeat you, I know it can be done and I know that I can do it. I'm the first ever Hollywood Heritage champion for a reason. This won't be a one and done for me, nope. I'm going to put these championships on the map as they merge together for the first time in defense."
Britney pulls each championship off of each of her shoulders and holds them up, showing the beautiful belts off to the cameras.
BRITNEY ANDERS:
"Ask yourself Maki, is it worth it? Should you even show up? It might be a better idea to save yourself the embarrassment of ANOTHER loss to the A-List and just stay home. I promise if you show up? You're going to regret it, and you're going to walk out the same way you came...empty handed. So enter MY ring..."
Britney's eyes scan across the canvas.
BRITNEY ANDERS:
"At your own risk."
Britney smirks as the camera slowly focuses on each of the two championships before fading out to black.
It is a curious precedent when a wooded area or a forest, if you will, is seen as beautiful, inviting and precious. Humanity and nature in perfect harmony, that is, until the sun goes down. The chirpy birds that made you want to sing earlier are a distant memory and now the crow’s chirping made you feel uneasy, as if they were harbingers of your own mortality.
The trees that swayed, the wind that blew through the branches was so melodic you forgot about nightfall and now here you are. Every rustle, every twist and turn of the wooden sap made your skin tingle, made you aware of how easily your life can be discarded but for some reason you felt like moving forward, to the darker and denser part of the wooded area. If you were like Melissa Aki, you would be drawn to it. Ebbing ever so slowly into that void of nothingness, that dark abyss that you cannot escape from but it was pulling you in as if you were joisted to some rope and the burns were irritating but the dread was all around you.
She stood stock still as she saw three very esoteric ladies in some ridiculous and stereotyped outfits summoning a vengeance spirit, but why had she been drawn here. Then the cackle resonated through the trees and like an ice pick into her retina she knew who they had conjured.
Witch One: Dear spirit of the damned, please show us your face, show us that you have listened when called to you. Demoness, we are at your mercy.
Melissa pushed through the undergrowth, saw the fire crackling and the witches looking up at the altar they had created, silly women. They had forgotten the salt. Salt protects. No sage for smudging out negative spirits. They weren’t much for witchcraft, she thought.
Out of this bluish haze, Melissa covered her mouth in horror. Standing above all three women was not some nightmarish vision of a demonic entity but that of a simple British Asian woman. This, of course, she was used to seeing, Daniela in her form but what struck her so hard was that she was naked. She could see every contour of her own body, the way her small and impotent breasts leaned either side of her chest or how her stomach wasn’t as taut as it should be and then...the horror. She made a mental note to shave down there. Daniela twisted around and Melissa was even more shocked at the state of marginal arse. She hoped this had just been how Daniela saw her and not the real her!
Daniela then looked down at the witches. “Why did you summon thee from the cold heat of hell? Furthermore I am now free from my mortal vessel” She wasn’t happy. “That angers me!”
A blast of wind and smouldering wood slammed against the witches. “I SHOULD EXECUTE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, IMBECILES!”
The fire started to levitate which brought Melissa into action, she jumped in front of the witches, burning sage as she smiled upon her mirror image.
“MELISSA! YOU FELT THE LACK OF MY PRESENCE AND WANTED ME BACK TO SHARE YOUR VESSEL. HOW CUTE!”
“Daniela, leave these morons alone.”
“WHY SHOULD I? THEY TOOK ME FROM MY PLEASURE. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FEEL PLEASURE WITH MORTAL BEINGS? NOW THESE BITCHES ARE GOING TO SCREAM AS I CASCADE THEIR FLESH AND SUCK IT OFF THEIR RIDICULOUS BODIES!”
Maki tenses. Inherently she was good. She was made out of good stock and brought up to believe in being good but some people and some demons just pissed her off. More importantly, why was Daniela and in turn herself naked?
“You could have at least covered up my body, acting like some sexual deviant demon.”
Daniela pretended to think about her words. “ SO YOU DO NOT LIKE YOUR OWN FORM? INTERESTING BUT THAT IS BESIDES THE POINT. YOU KNOW I WILL NOT HURT MY VESSEL TOO MUCH BUT YOU WILL FORCE ME TO IF YOU DO NOT STAND CLEAR OF MY WORK.”
Maki smirked, it was time to use her trump card, and then deal with the witches herself at a later date. Wiccan has a lot to answer to. Still, it was disconcerting looking at your nakedness. She wondered how anyone could ever have wanted to have sex with her.
“Dani, you let these morons go and I will allow you to take charge of my body as I have a match with Britney. I mean, that little spoilt bitch, like I could beat her blindfolded but I know you want to get your grubby hands on her. So do we have a deal?”
The demoness crossed the Maki-like legs and stroked them as if in deep thought.
“FUCK THE WITCHES. YES. OH MELISSA. THIS IS A BETTER DEAL THAN WHEN I TOOK SAMANTHA’S SOUL. OH HOW I HAVE WANTED TO BE FREE TO CARVE OPEN HER FLESH AND DEVOUR HER INTERNAL ORGANS. NOW I WILL BE DOING IT WITHOUT RESTRAINT!
“Well, Dani, beat her. Hurt her and punish her but do not kill her, understand? Save some punishment for me. “
She looked up, the demoness had gone. But where? Then she felt the sliminess of her insides, like a wet rag and knew Daniela was back inside her and felt bad for Britney but then, a second thought arose: Fuck her. She made her bed. She can die in it.
