SCENE ONE : Breaking The News . . .

{ Sean sat down on the leather couch, grinning like a schoolboy, as Kat walked into the house, dropping a white package on the table and heading upstairs. He ripped it open like a kid at Christmas, letting the powder spill along the table. He pulled out a blade, starting to cut everything into large lines, as the sound of rifling around was going on upstairs. By the time he had everything settled, she had come back down stairs. She dropped a large bag on the floor, looking at him as he held his hair back, snorting the line and sitting back, a content childlike look on his face. He twitched for a second, then looked up at her. }

The Unholy Legend ~ Syxx : Come on doll face. I have you set up for one too.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : No … I ain’t doing any of that … not now. I got a job.

The Unholy Legend ~ Syxx : A job? A job? Where … where in the hell did you get a job? It better not be some little puissant federation again I told you about that last time! I’m not gonna have you getting into those little no-paying bitch ass places again!

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : No … Wrestlemania Entertainment opened again. . . I’m going back.

{ Sean looked up at her with wide eyes, partly because of his high, partly in shock. He ran his hands through his hair. }

The Unholy Legend ~ Syxx : You can’t go back Kitten … you can’t do it again. You nearly killed your damned self last time!

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : And this won’t? This won’t kill me just as fast? Who do you think funds your habits Sean? ME! It’s time I get back to what I’m good at - destroying people careers. You can stay here in this … “Heaven” I’ve given you … otherwise, I’m going back.

{ Kat turns, grabbing her bag to leave, Syxx stands up quick, toppling the table with the mountain of white atop it. He jumps over it, grabbing her wrist. }

The Unholy Legend ~ Syxx : Wait! …. Fine! Fine I’ll go with you. I can’t make you go out there with no one to watch your back … Let me go grab my bag.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : And clean yourself up too for gods sake.

{ Kat sighs, looking around. Yeah, this had really been paradise. A den of iniquity and sin … just like, she used to like it. As she sat down and waited for Sean to get his things together, she thought back on the past. How evil she had been. She had taken so many things from people. She was shunned now a days. People still hissed and avoided her. She would be going back as the prime evil of a federation she left behind years ago. People would call her washed up, forgotten, lower level, not even worth the time. But what they would come to realize is that they could be no further from that which was the truth. She smirked, in memory of all she had done. The accomplishments that were so long gone … championship reigns, and a record that she to this date had barely scratched. A year in a company that had changed her from the simple, innocent good that she had once been into what she was now. A Killer. Plain, and simple. She could barely finish the thought when she heard Sean’s footsteps heavy on the stairs. He had his duffel bag over his shoulder. She took a long look at him - time had changed him too. He had thinned - probably due to his habits - and looked more corpselike than before. A Legend … in the rags of a has-been. She would change all that. And as she thought, she pondered the fact that she hadn’t been given such a title. Then again, titles had never meant to her unless they were made of gold. She laughed under her breath. }

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : You look like Hell, Sean.

{ Sean looked down at his ragged jeans and sleeveless shirt and then to her, clad in her tight blue jeans and corset-laced shirt, and laughed. }

The Unholy Legend ~ Syxx : And you look like you’re about to dance on a pole, so what? Let’s just get the hell out of here.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : Not going to miss your Scarface pile of coke?

The Unholy Legend ~ Syxx : Nah … there’ll be much more to do once you win a title back babe.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : Not so fast, I don’t even have a damned match this week. I just gotta show up for whatever reason.

The Unholy Legend ~ Syxx : What?!? You don’t have a match! That’s goddamned insane. Well, I guess they’re too scared to let you out of your cage so early on. . . But hey, I guess that’s a good thing right?

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : I got no clue, but come on, we got a place to catch, and a hit list to make.

{ Kat grabs her duffel bag, opening the door to walk outside, Sean following quickly behind. }

INTERLUDE : Affirmation . . .

I thought I had left this world far behind. That the idea of taking dominance over others was long past, but I guess I was wrong. I secretly believe that all this time I’ve been craving it, like a drug. Even now, the thought that I am back in a federation, it entices me. It excites me like that first high … that you think will never end. It’s a fascination, a mysticism that is beyond understanding. Why do I crave this pain that I know I will go through? My body will ache, my nerves will be shot, my stress will be legendary . . . But I still want it. I want it more than I’ve craved anything in my life. I want the chance to be the best once again and have the lights shining on me and me alone. Love me, hate me the fans don’t bother me so much as long as I’m the best. Whatever it takes I want that again, I need it, I need that euphoria I need that high, to set me free and make all this pain, all the degradation, the back talking, the lies, the torture, to make it all worthwhile. No matter what the people in the back think of me, no matter what anyone else has to say about me, as long as I’m the best. As long as I am the Champion . . . The world can go to hell around me.

SCENE TWO : Dancing With The Shadows . . .

{ Kat had finally arrived to the arena. Sean for some reason had stayed at the hotel while she came to the arena. She went to the locker room they had allotted for her, her name on a piece of paper on the door. She opened up the door and went to flick on the light. She blinked when only the dim glow of the emergency lights filtered the room. It lit up the top of the walls, but left the rest in dim shadow. She shrugged her shoulders and went to set her bag down, pushing her hair out of her eyes. It wasn't that startling, until she realized there was someone else in the room by the sound of someone breathing. She stood straight up, and looked around. }

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : You really do leave men waiting don't you?

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : Well I wouldn't say i was exactly expecting someone to be waiting for me. What do you want, and why are you hiding in my locker room.

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : Is anybody really waiting for somebody? Does anybody really know what's going to happen when they turn the corner? I wouldn't really call this hiding. it’s more or less me trying to introduce myself the only way I know how.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : You speak in tongues of twisted perception, but I suppose I can decipher you better than anyone else. And why would you need such an introduction? I suppose it's better then pulling me into a boiler room to speak to me ... so why would the holy symbol of Poe want to speak to my, humble destructive self?

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : I've watched you...i've seen you. I know all about you Miss Kitten. Believe me when I say this..The Kitten always likes to get pet.

{ Kat gave a small laugh, turning towards the voice finally, smirking and staring at the man outlined by shadows. }

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : Perhaps I do, but I like running my claws through somebody a little bit more. Whether they enjoy it or not is on their conscience and not mine. And as for watching me, do I hold some fascination for you? Some ... hidden interest that made you so boldly break the lights in my room simply to have an advantage of speaking to me? If so you must have some greater purpose than to simply say good day to me and be on your way. What purpose do you hold, dear dear Raven . . .

{ Raven starts to walk out of the shadow into the light so Kitty is able to see him. }

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : There really is no purpose Miss Kitten...the only satisfaction I have for this is being able to know one thing.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : And what ... is that ... exactly? Quite fortunate you are that I didn't have the "Legend" with me ... but you are truly lucky that he has a passion for Angels with Razorblade wings.

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : I've seen you around Kitten and I know things you don't think I know. I know things not anybody else around here knows. And the passion for Angels with Razorblade wings is just another passion I humble with every step I take.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : And what exactly do you think ... that you know ... about me. It wouldn't surprise me that you would have found every dark and destructive thing I have done, and perhaps have enjoyed watching happen to the unfortunates stupid enough to get in my way.

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : Lets just say The Kitten really isn't the inacent humble Kat she once was.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : Innocence and Ignorance both go hand in hand, and I have had neither since the rose tinted glasses were shattered off my eyes by this very federation so many years ago. Humility is for saints and I am but an unholy sinner, destined to drag the world down to cushion my fall into the depths of hell. What interest of all my dark dealings is yours, truly, Raven? What ... titillates you about it all.

{ Raven starts to chuckle a little bit as he walks closer to Kitty. }

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : Oh my sweet sweet Kitty only time will tell.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : Time is such a cruel mistress even one I can't escape. I'm afraid I'm not so patient anymore. If you want something you best grasp at it now before the opportunity flies away off into the horizon.

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : And then you'll go back to that weakness that is Sean Waltman...you'll go back to the struggle of trying to have him understand you? Sean isn't the man who knows about pain..he's not the man who has had a bad past.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : I took care of his past when I crucified his ex wife and returned his children to him. I have been nothing but a queen to him ... and even now he forgets ... that without me he would have never had the hatred of the fans that fuelled his desire to win ... I was there when he finally had his limelight. I was there ... and now I am back on my own, and he is nowhere but his slopes of powder ... but what difference would it make to you dear Raven ... pain is personal, and it hits everyone differently. Understand ... i don't even think you could some days ... I don't even understand myself.

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : He forgets...Kitty he might forget the past, but you will give the future. You have the power in your hands...you have his destiny in your grasp. Only you can chance the future for young Waltman. I on the other hand have the future of wMe in mine.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : Why would I concern myself with the future of someone that won't risk the pain? I am here for myself and not for him. He simply tagged along for the rewards he might garner out of keeping me happy.

{ Raven slowly begins to walk toward the door as he looks at Kitty one last time. }

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : Is that the future you want Miss Kitten. Is that the man you want to tag along with you...a man that doesn't care? A weak man with weak thoughts...a man with nothing to gain and everything to lose?

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : Oh perhaps I merely want to toy him along until someone better comes along. Until I find a man worthy enough to have at my side, I might just be keeping him in the shadows.

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : That shadow's isn't always the best place to be. The shadow's isn't always a place to wait. I know trust me i've been there.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : But truly who would I pick to replace him. So few are as dark and deceitful as he once was. Who could replace the Unholy Father ... at my side.

{ Raven finally starts to leave the room before saying one last thing to Kat before he leaves. }

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : Once again..only time will tell Miss Kitten.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : I suppose it will tell it's lies in its own time ... for now I will simply have to watch for the Shadows, yes? Or next time will you be more traditional ...

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : I would have to leave you with one thought Kitten. I would have to leave you with one thing to think about so until then. Let the weakness of Sean not effect you.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : Is that all you have to say? Let his weakness not affect me? It wouldn't bother me either way ... I am my own demons ... Perhaps you will realize that when you see me fight.

The Dark Prince ~ Raven : I'll see it before Slam Kitten I promise you that.

The Sinister Seductress ~ The Kat : We shall see ... we shall see

{ Raven smiles as he looks into the eyes of Kitten before slowly walking out of the room leaving Kitten think about what had just taken place. }

INTERLUDE : Resolution . . .

Was He right? Did I really need to keep Sean around me anymore? He's retired, he can't wrestle. I doubt he could even help me take care of things in the ring anymore. Perhaps it's time for me to find someone new. Perhaps Raven was right. Perhaps it is time to find a new darkness, a new partner in crime. Perhaps it was time to change and come into my own as a new entity. I couldn't fathom what it would be like, without the Darkness I already knew. But then again it wouldn't be the first time I changed my path after a split. Perhaps Raven would be the guide to road to glory again. Only time, truly would tell. And as cruel as time is on the world, I would just have to be worse.
