The door to Aaron O'Brien's office received a hard kick in before swinging open at once. The room was so deficient in brightness that only the silhouette of the female standing before it was visible to the naked eye of Kendrix Manson. As the woman got a foot in past the threshold, the buxom blonde let out a loud yelp.
“Who are you?�?she asked, not taking her eyes of the awkward but stunning brunette beauty that stood before her.
Arachne’s face lit up immediately and she shot Kendrix a smirk similar to Jack Nicholson’s joker. “I’m from your nightmares,�?she stated, jokingly of course. But nevertheless, Kendrix forced herself against the mahogany desk that belonged to O’Brien and almost toppled over it. Luckily, Aaron had returned just then and caught the bubbly blonde in his arms before she fell. He was almost like a hero, but a hero in a wheel chair.
“What is she doing here?�?inquired Kendrix, quite irritated but concealed that emotion with great caution.
Aaron gazed over and saw Arachne standing before them, her shadow falling on the ground so gracefully, almost like a softer version of the outline of her body. To everyone’s surprise, he smiled upon seeing her and greeted her rather pleasantly.
“Hi Arachne, it’s nice to see you again,�?/FONT> Aaron said plainly but the natural warmth in his face made him seem all the more welcoming.
Kendrix Mason looked perplexed as she gazed at her boyfriend and the strange female that entered the office. One could entertain ideas about the two having some sort of past affair that could possibly interfere with his current relationship but that fantasy was immediately cut short.
“How do the two of you know each other?�?questioned the rather innocent blonde as she shifted her gaze from Aaron to Arachne and then back to her boyfriend again.
“Aaron,�?said Arachne, completely ignoring Kendrix's question. “How’s the father?�?she inquired, glancing at Kendrix momentarily but then peeling her intense green eyes away at once. She feared that she could of burnt the woman with her glare.
The blonde squinted her eyes. She seemed agitated at this moment as neither of them spoke up. They were lost in each other’s gaze and that did not please her at all. Aaron wore the same smile on his face, no one had seen it that big since his match with Jacob Mitchell. In fact, people doubted he even smiled at all that week. This, however, was something he had been waiting for, supposedly ever since IICX open its doors.
“Aaron!�?Kendrix squealed, almost in a pleading manner, begging for him to say something that disproved the ideas she had formed in her head about these two.
“Oh,�?mumbled O’Brien upon regaining his composure. “Arachne was a former employee of mine in Epic. She’s one of the most ruthless females in the business and also has a penchant for.. human meat,�?he says, causing Kendrix’s blue peepers to pop out of her sockets. “So Arachne, what could we have possibly done for you to grace us with your presence?�?he asks, wheeling closer towards her, but keeping a safe distance for obvious reasons.
Looking down at him, a somewhat sympathetic expression surfaces on her face but she masks it quite well with a not so subtle smirk. “Well, from your surreptitious phone call…�?/FONT> she is about to say but he interjects.
“Surreptitious?�?he inquired, obviously offended. “I’m quite open about what I do Arachne.�?/FONT>
“I’m certain,�?she responded and then slowly inched her way towards him. Kendrix looked worried and she didn’t even have to look at her to see it. �?FONT color=#cc6600>I’m sure everyone can SEE that,�?
says Arachne, shooting a quick glance at his wheel chair. Upon seeing that look on a face, a hideous grimace comes over his. “I can walk you know,�?he says and then stands up, with less effort than the days prior to this.
“Sit down,�?she insists. “It’ll recover quickly if you do. You should probably consider walking less too,�?she suggests and then gazes over at Kendrix. “There’s no need to be proud. I know you want to show them that nothing can hold you down but your knee needs to fully recover.�?/FONT>
He takes her advices begrudgingly as he is aware that she is infact right.
“Listen now,�?/FONT> he demands before she could continue on. “I have placed you in a match against a fairly new vixen, to IICX at least.�?/FONT>
“I’m guessing you want me to break her bones? Show Decaine and his band of misfits that we’re not backing down?�?/FONT>
“We?�?/FONT> asks Kendrix clueless.
“We’re a team now, aren’t we?�?she questions, before gazing back at O’Brien. “So what’s her name?�?/FONT>
