“I can’t understand you!”

If feeling something was what Selena had been hoping for these past few days, irritation and frustration were not it. She wasn’t even sure if what she felt WAS an emotion. Annoyance? Irritation? Frustration? Were these emotions or just some kind of response to getting nowhere with something? A situational response to a seemingly unsolvable problem? She wasn’t sure, but after listening to a man talk to her in German for the last half an hour, and her having to repeat that one sentence over and over and over again to him, the only thing she wanted to do was pick up the buzzsaw that she had spotted on the other side of the glass, where the vehicles were parked/docked/worked on, and bash it across his head!

And Selena, covered in his blood…

The Snow Queen closed her eyes, exhaling a little and refusing to look down at her hands. She knew blood wasn’t there and, doubly so, she had no desire to ‘see’ it on her again. She had dealt with that enough the past week. Still, she had also had enough of someone speaking gibberish to her. But what could she do? She was stuck. Her car was in need of repair, the tow truck had taken her here, and until-

She heard the door open, successfully interrupting her thoughts, though not as much as when she felt a form rush into her, arms effectively wrapping around her and embracing her tightly.

“Oh thank gods.” She heard the voice beside her ear sigh, recognizing not only it but also the fragrance of burning rose petals (it was the name of the shampoo ‘scent’) that the redhead always used. For herself, the platinum-blonde did not have any time to hug the woman back, for the younger Frost (former Frost) pushed herself away from Selena a few inches, emerald eyes scanning the former world champion up and down. “Are you alright? Did you get checked out by the hospital? What about-“

“I’m fine.” Selena breathed, trying to calm the hysterical woman down. “I’ll probably just have a bit of whiplash for a day or two.” She added, reaching a hand to run the back of her own neck.

Hearing those words from Selena seemed to flip a switch inside of Deanna. For a few seconds later, Deanna’s expression immediately grew stern. “What the hell happened?” She asked.

“I told you.” Selena shrugged innocently. “I crashed the car.”
“Yeah, that’s what I heard when you called me.” Deanna rolled her eyes, clearly not in the mood for any ‘smart talk’. “What I don’t know is how the hell you crashed your car!”

“I…” Selena shrugged again. “I honestly don’t know.” She answered. “One minute, I was driving along on the upper lane, passing some slowpoke, the next thing, I’m in the right lane and spinning around.” She gave another shrug. “Black ice maybe? The heavy slush from the plows?”

She wasn’t sure Deanna took her response at face value, but the redhead said nothing, instead turning her attention to the glass, where the gentleman Selena had just been yelling at regarding the language barrier patiently stood. Ignoring the man at first, the redhead simply moved closer to the glass, casting her gaze out towards the workers and the crunched metal that was once Selena’s vehicle.

“Wow…” she said in a whisper of an exhale. Selena could see her eyeing the front first, which was crushed inward before turning her head towards the rear, which was also crushed in a similar manner. It was like the car had become an accordion in the hands of the Snow Queen. Turning her back to the glass, Deanna merely crossed her arms over her chest. “Looks pretty bad.” She remarked. “Have you considered how much this is going to cost to repair?”

“I tried asking.” Selena sighed at the question before gesturing with her hand towards the man that was standing near the ‘garage window’, having not moved from that spot since Deanna had entered the autopart/auto-repair shop. “But seemingly, some businesses figured it wasn’t necessary to have English as a known language for tourists – an interesting choice when the Schonburg Castle is just a stone’s throw.”

Giving a sigh, it was Selena’s turn to stroll towards the window and observe her car as it was suspended several feet in the air by the large, metalling structure jutting out of the ground – some kind of lift. “I suppose I could call Gunther from the castle and ask him to come down here or something, but I really rather-“

The Snow Queen was forced to stop herself mid-speech as she turned her head towards the balding man she knew could not understand her (nor she him)… only to see Deanna standing beside him, chattering away – chattering in the same gibberish she had heard whenever she visited this town. For the platinum-blonde’s part, she could only stand there as the two before traded words and phrases (at least she thought they were words and phrases) until she saw Deanna give a nod of her head before turning her attention over to Selena.

“He says that they don’t have the right parts for an American car repair like this. The make and model will need to be ordered in and will be expensive.” She gave a shrug of her shoulders. “He recommends you just buy a new car.”

“Out of the question.” Selena shook her head. “I don’t care what it costs or how long it takes. I’ll pay it.”

“Selena…” Deanna sighed, once more crossing her arms. “If it was your motorcycle, I’d understand – or even the tour bus.” She cast a glance out the window. “But you just won that car. It’s not like you can’t get another one.”

“I don’t want another one.” Selena shot back, her tone cold and sharp. “I want that one. And what does it matter the price if I’m willing to pay for it?” She gestured a hand towards the man, who had been keeping his gaze on the two women. “Tell him… however the hell you know German… that I’ll pay it.”

“First,” Deanna answered curtly. “I spent two years in a Frankfurt prison, remember? You think I didn’t pick up the language in that kind of immersion? Second, I think you’re being stupid.”

“Big shocker!” Selena laughed, though there was nothing behind it. “Deanna thinks anything I want is stupid.”

“I didn’t say that!” The redhead countered. “I just think – for the amount it will cost – it’s stupid when you can get another one – maybe even the same model – for less!”

“I. Don’t. Care.” Selena stressed each word. “How can I make that any clearer?”

“Selena…” Deanna’s expression suddenly changed again, this one back to concern and… confusion? “You’re… you’re crying.”

“What?” Selena asked – this time it was her that was confused – as her hand flew up to her face. Yet, as she withdrew the hand, she could see the remains of a tear on the pointer finger. It was almost as surprising as seeing Deanna speak German practically fluently.

Why was she crying? She didn’t feel sad. She didn’t even feel angry enough to cry like she had seen in others before. She didn’t feel… anything. So why was she crying?

An answer didn’t come to her as she heard Deanna sigh, the redhead moving closer to her to take her pale hands into her own. “I… I didn’t realize the car meant that much to you.” She offered slowly. “I guess…” she turned her head to gaze out the ‘window’ towards the wrecked vehicle. “I guess if you can afford it, we can stay here a bit longer until it’s fixed.”

Selena merely nodded her head as ‘thanks’, the numbness in her maintaining that ‘shut-down’ feeling that had filled her since Dusseldorf last week, not saying a word as Deanna returned to the mechanic to ensure Selena’s wishes were met.

The same numbness that couldn’t figure out why she had shed a tear over a car she had merely won a year or so ago.
The same numbness that hadn’t felt a thing when she had crashed the car into the guardrail in the first place.

The same numbness that couldn’t tell anyone, least of all Deanna, that there was no accident. No patch of ice or slush…

Selena sighed as she gazed once more out the window towards her car. Sorry, girl… she thought towards the car. I had to try and feel… something again…

Even if she had to drive right into a guardrail to feel it…

The Royal Letter

The camera opens up to reveal a familiar looking throne chair with a shelf holding several books behind it. In the chair, wearing a dark blue pant suit with a matching shirt underneath, sits The Snow Queen herself – Selena Frost. Her hair is tied in its iconic braid but her sapphire eyes seem rather cold, distant… detached, despite their sharp focus on the camera.

Hello SCW… Adam Brock… Her head tilts to the side slightly. and Blake Mason…

Tell me… Do you believe? she moves herself to sit back against her chair, her tone maintaining it’s cold, detached nature.

How about you, Mason? Has it sunk in yet? Assuming you’re actually conscious now to watch this. Have you realized that there are consequences when you go ‘that far’ with me? That there is a price to pay when you come after my family? Perhaps it was all ‘fun’ in your head. Sending your lackey to induce a psychotic breakdown in Deanna. Setting fire to her sister’s home. Calling Elsianna like that. Thinking you were getting some ‘past-version’ of Selena Frost that you knew ‘back in the day’. Have you realized otherwise now? Sapphire eyes narrow. How’s your eye, by the way?

Because let me remind you of something, Blake. Just a simple observation of that night last weekend. All that I did to you? That was just in the confines of a ‘regular match’. Let that sit in your little head while you lie there icing your face. All that I did to you… leaving you that bloody mess in the ring, beating you to the point a stretcher had to take you out… I didn’t need a chamber or weapons to do that. I didn’t need a ‘specialty match’ like The Fall of Man or Colleen MacDonald to do it. I didn’t need to break a rule or have a moment where the official ‘wasn’t looking’ to do all of that. I just needed my own hands and feet to obliterate you. I just needed myself to destroy someone.

And yes, Blake, that is very much a threat. Because if you come back to SCW – if you come after my family again… Demitria won’t be able to stop me next time. No one will. Because that bloody battlefield? The one you have to pass to get to the world championship on the other side? I’ll be standing in the middle of it… waiting for you. Consider that your last warning from me.

Despite her lack of emotion - her calmness - Selena runs a hand along her thick, platinum-blonde braid for a second before refocusing.

Speaking of a bloody battlefield, let’s welcome the next fighter to it. Adam Brock. Mr. ‘Fuck Around and Find Out’… Oh, no, wait, that’s Kandis. This is ‘Wolfsbane’, right? ‘Fuck with a wolf and die…’, right? ‘Never met someone like me before’, right? ‘Mr. Originality’, ‘One of a Kind’, right? a simple smirk crosses Selena’s features.

Perhaps that’s not the best start. I mean, since we are starting with pleasantries, Brock, let me follow suit and congratulate you on your victory in Dusseldorf as well. As someone that has beaten The Assassin of SCW as well – along with an Executioner, a Monarch, a Madman, a Lion, a Witch and a Wardrobe - what you did was quite the accomplishment. A confirmation of your skill and passion, yes, but also your resilience, considering it was your first match back since that knee injury back in April.

Selena pauses for a moment, resting her head on her hand. Yes, you haven’t really talked about that with us, have you, Adam? Other than a mere remark of, what was it you called it? A ‘freak accident’? Which is interesting because one would think such a time would hold a bit more meaning for you. Would hold a more prominent place in your mind. I mean, there you were, your career on the rise! You were in the throngs of championship rankings! Even challenging for the United States Championship. A future champion in the making to be sure, as management clearly believed. Funny how none of that was brought up by you in your first match back – or in any segment or camera-time the old man granted you…

Or who it was you fought when that ‘freak accident’ happened…

The cold glare returns.

It was a Frost, wasn’t it, Adam. It was a Frost you were fighting that ended your first little stint here in SCW and put you on the shelf. And while you call it a ‘freak accident’… I have rewatched that Breakdown match from last April and it seems less of an ‘accident’ and more like your body just couldn’t maintain ‘that level’ of challenger. That your mouth was writing checks your body couldn’t cash in! Yes, you survived against a supposed ‘Assassin’, I will grant you that. But that is a far cry from the level of a champion, isn’t it? A vast different to a year-long champion like Deanna was. But I digress… the point is that it was a FROST that brought down the wolf… Who ‘fucked with a wolf’ and didn’t die.

Which is why, with such facts as these, I am… somewhat confused why you would choose blind arrogance and empty promises on facing me. I mean, you haven’t been here much longer than a month. Your second match and you have gone straight from facing a ‘mid-card hitman’ to the greatest world champion of all time – the Female Wrestler of the Year – the LONGEST reigning world champion in SCW history…

And yet, you want to state how you ‘know me’? You declare that you’ve got me all figured out?

A slight hum escapes the Snow Queen as she, unfazed, sits back in her chair. And what exactly do you know, Adam? You pay attention for a few weeks here and there and know that, while you dressed in a hoodie and snuck around to get one over on Fall of Man, I was waring with Mason, that gives you the blueprint to me? Let me remind you of something in that regard, boy. While you chose ‘the weakest member’ of The Fall of Man in Junior to target… I sent the most accomplished member in James Evans off a cage pod with a swift kick and beat him inside the chamber. I went right for the most dangerous member while you snuck around in disguise, waiting for your target to turn their back to you. Yet YOU want to say I fear limits? That I fear facing my enemies head on due to limits and that you will push me to my limits?

A chuckle, emotionless, escapes her. I do not doubt your capabilities, Adam. You don’t get a chance to get into an SCW ring – you don’t get a chance at the United States Championship - if you don’t have abilities of some kind. Even those we despise like Fall of Man and Blake Mason have ‘abilities’. I simply think you are overselling yours while vastly underestimating mine. You think I want control? You think I fear the lack of it?

In that, Adam, I can’t tell if you’re blind or stupid. What part of anything post Rise to Greatness has been about ‘control’ for me? I went from having control of every match for the world title – before and during it - to having none at all. I went from dominating the main-event practically every show, to slowly having others do so. Or did you miss how the pay-per-view ended? Despite me having, what was easily, the match of the night?

The reason I am who I am isn’t because I have to ‘control everything’ and ‘fear chaos’ or ‘who’s world champion’, but because it doesn’t matter to me. It’s because I know that, regardless of that chaos or who holds the world title, I will always rise above. I will always be the last one left standing. I don’t know if anyone’s told you this, Adam, but SCW is going through a bit of a faze right now. It’s called the ‘Wild Wild West’ and while its ‘instigator’ has been as big a failure as you have been assumptive and arrogant, I have thrived in that environment. Between ‘Hot-Foot’ Xander, ‘Crybaby’ Hudson, and ‘Weapons-Galore’ Raab, not to mention Mason running around with Brittany Lohan playing with matches, I have remained dominant. I have survived. I have thrived. In matches that would have seen you have another ‘freak accident’ as your body inevitably quit on you.

She gives another tilt of her head.

That’s the true difference between us, Adam. It’s not that I can’t see the ‘eye of the hurricane’, you foolish wolf. It’s because I AM the eye of the hurricane. I am the one that all this chaos and ‘wild west’ swirls around! And when it ends, as it inevitably does and has before – regardless of who holds the world title, who is the powerhouse stable, who declares themselves this and that - I, as I always have been, will still be the only one standing, with all that I desire in my hands.

Don’t believe me? Ask Xander Valentine, the world champion. Ask Hudson, the two-time failure. Ask Kristen Scott – ask anyone. Because unlike you, running his mouth off in only his second match back in SCW with zero to show for it, I have the history and accolades to prove my words! A history of setting a bar and watching foe after foe fail to reach it. Of watching superstar after superstar fail to surpass my limits, not because I ‘seek those that can’t’, Brock, but because no one in SCW truly can.

The Snow Queen takes a deep breath, though she remains calm, allowing her words to settle before continuing. You have chosen foolishness in this, Adam, choosing the cliché lines of me ‘never facing someone like Adam Brock before’ and acting ‘all-knowing’ in a land you couldn’t navigate through the first time. When in reality, you should be terrified. Because you don’t know the first thing about me if your little speech is any indication. Because if I could stun the SCW Universe into silence with my violence towards Mason, just who – or what – is headed your way this Breakdown? Who or what will stand in the ring with you? The woman you “think” you know? The Snow Queen that SCW thinks they knew? Or the woman that dismantled Blake Mason before their very eyes?

Like I said, Brock, a Frost was responsible for ending your time here last time… now the greater Frost stands before you, having just put someone else on the shelf. And whether it’s ‘business’ or ‘personal’ for you facing me, I could not care less, nor will I promise one or the other. I will be whatever I desire to be in that ring. Whether I simply be your ‘reality check’ back into SCW… or I paint the canvas with your blood as well: the choice is not yours – but entirely mine.

Her eyes grow more distant… detached… the same as they were that night in bloodied ring.

Whether you want to believe it… or not…

The camera faces on the cold features of the Snow Queen before fading entirely to black.
