Mysterium in the Ring

Chapter 62: Truth Hurts

I breathe out and breathe in.

I'm less than a minute away from going out to confront Liv.

Dominik is standing beside me to give me comfort. He glances at me and places a hand on my shoulder. He leans in and whispers to me, "You'll be great, just calm down."

"I'm trying," I reply back a little too harsh. I glance over at him with apologetic eyes, "Sorry."

Dominik looks down at me and gives me a smile, "All good. I know you're nervous, but you got this in the bag," one of the stage crew members walks over to me and ushers me over. I look at Dominik and smile a little as he gives me the thumbs-up.

I exhale out again to calm my nerves as I stand by the curtain.

"You'll go out in...5...4...3...2...1... go" The stage member urges me to walk out.

I hear my music come on and I walk out onto the main stage. I hear the crowds cheering for me as I make my way to the ring.

I look up at Liv and I see her awkwardly in the ring. She looks as uncomfortable as she could be right now. I look over at her partner, Raquel, who is also awkwardly standing there.

Raquel wasn't even supposed to be in the ring tonight, but Triple H didn't want me and Liv to be in the ring by ourselves- because who knows what's going to happen.

Raquel isn't supposed to talk much, she is more there to make sure me and Liv keep our hands off of each other. So Raquel backs away from Liv a bit to give her some distance.

I look back over at Liv and I notice that she is trying to act tough, but I think deep down she knows I could kick her ass if I wanted to. The only thing stopping me is that I want to keep my job.

I step into the ring and lay my arms out horizontally in the air so the crowds could continue to cheer for me. Eventually they quiet down and I turn to Liv with a microphone in my hands.

Liv is the first one to speak up, "What brings you out here, Zoe? No one mentioned your name... so what's your deal?"

"You know exactly why I'm out here," I say with a deeper meaning that only she knows, "I'm tired of you hiding behind your partner. What happened to you? You used to be looked at as fierce, but now people are more scared of your partner than you!" I laugh at her.

Liv looks offended and steps back a bit, "I am just as good as before- if not better! And people are scared because of us both. If they thought otherwise, Raquel would've left me a long time ago."

"Just as good as before...? You mean when I kicked your ass?" I crease my brows at her and smirk.

Liv looks dumbfounded for a second before replying, "I was going easy on you. It was the beginning of your career here, what was I getting out of it by ruining it?"

"You really think you just let me win? I won easily, I won fair and square," I glare at Liv from across the ring. I get a little closer to her and lean toward her, "Now tell me Liv, how did it feel losing to a newbie?"

Liv jumps toward me but Raquel drags her back, "I will not be talked down on by you!"

"What are you going to do about it?" I laugh at her as I watch Raquel hold her back, "You can't even stand on your own two feet without Raquel!"

"I will- I will!" Liv fumbles over her words as she glares at me. She fights against Raquel, but she has a death grip on her.

Liv sighs in defeat and Raquel finally lets go of her.

"I know the exact place we can settle this at," I say to her with a smirk on my face.

Liv raises her brows expectantly.

A grin grows on my face as I look up at the WrestleMania sign.

Liv follows my gaze and her eyes widen slightly.

I look back at her with a teasing look.

"See you there?"

Author's Note: 

Very short chapterrrr. Very very short :') 

I didn't want to add anything else to this chapter though. I wanted to keep it just Liv and Zoe. 

Not much to say today though. 

Have a great day, love you all!!!!! <<<<<<<<33333333333
