>"...or we can just sit here feeling sorry for ourselves and enjoy this stolen alcohol."Holly stares at Amy, the dullness behind her eyes replaced for the first time with what looks to be fire. Of course... of course it always came back to the Divine Angels, to Priscilla, Nikki and every other girl who'd managed to humiliate Holly (except perhaps for Kelly Omega). What was their game, were they trying to pounce on her while she was down? To try to build her back up in their image while she was broken and in need of desperate help. Jesus Christ, why did Holly feel as though it was something that she might actually need?
>"I-" Holly's throat constricted. Grunting, she snatches the champagne and downs it, wetting her lips and allowing her voice to flow.
>"You... You've all beaten me. Time and time and time and time again..."Holly stares at the bottle, then into Amy's eyes. Amber meeting gold.
>"Do it again. Beat me again. Prove that your way is right... Don't hold back."The redhead was taken aback by the sudden challenge but perhaps this was a better way after all, if Holly wins she might just regain her confidence, a loss would surely be a disappointment but once Holly sees the many advantages that come with being an Angel she'll be able to refocus and return to her winning ways.
>"Okay Maria, if a match is what you want then a match is what you'll get. If I win you'll join The Divine Angels. If you win we'll be 1-1 in singles competition and you'll be one step closer to shaking the indignity of losing to me."Amy was torn, she wanted to help but maybe only Holly can help Holly, clearly the fire still burned in her so Amy added some gasoline.
>"A long time ago you used to call me a bag carrier, amongst other things, with that in mind you'd better fight harder than you've ever fought before because if you lose... maybe... I'll have you carrying my bags from now on."
