>>19190578Carmody Jefferson settles in in front of the monitor to watch Kanako Leichenburg's upcoming match. This'll be a pleasant distraction from the stresses ahead of her coming match with Priscilla, a chance to support her good friend. Not only that, she's interested in who the tag team partner might be. If it was Sola, surely that wouldn't be such a secret. Is there a new wrestler who might join them at the Dojo? A smile comes over Carmody's face as she sees Kanako come to the ring, and she has a fit of giggles at hearing how the ring announcer introduces her. Then her partner is introduced.....
Nika.
Carmody's blood runs cold.
With an aching twist of hurt in the pit of her stomach, she pulls out her cell phone and dashes off several angry text messages to Kanako before she gets control of herself. As she starts to put the phone away, she sees another message ring in, from Colby.
Carmody takes the bait, answering her sister's loaded messages with a couple of sharp retorts. Finally, when she feels like she's about to scream and smash the phone, instead she simply turns it off and takes a few deep breaths.
Focus.
Beat Priscilla Divine, become the champion tonight. None of this matters. It'll all work out.
Carmody closes her eyes and takes another deep breath, trying without success to let out all the anger, tension, and pain.
She'll just have to let it out in the ring.
