>>10171926Nikki stands alone in the ring after her sister leaves. For the first time since joining the Angels she feels completely drained of confidence. First she was replaced as Madame Divine's favourite by that cousin of hers. And now her own sister has turned her back on her too.
>"She's wrong, that wasn't our fault," hisses the voice in her mind."We're the ones who lost the match for our team," Nikki replies, "there's no denying that."
>"Cassie spent most of the match standing on the sidelines and leaving us to take all the punishment, then failed to break up the pin when it mattered," the voice whispers. "Don't you remember that tag match with Cactus Jane and Sola Fire? She stood on the side and watched us destroy Jane and win that match singlehandedly. She used us, now she's talking down to us because it didn't go her way. Make her eat her words."How?" Nikki asks.
>"We had a goal before she sidetracked you. Ash Romero. Answer her open challenge. Beat her. Prove our worth. To our sister. To yourself. Nikki's mood brightens. But not because of the chance to prove her sister wrong. Taking down Ash Romero was what Priscilla ordered her to do. Succeeding would be the perfect way to get Priscilla to notice her again. Her heart starts to race.
