As soon as she was free to leave the UWA show after her match, Jeszika Gautier did so, an overwhelming urge to be with her lovers filling her. She needed to make sure they were ok and unharmed.
Once home she basically runs inside, wanting to be with them and be reassured as soon as she can. As she goes inside, she finds her home empty, not a soul inside the building aside from her. Panic starts to set in until her phone goes off. She glances down at it, her hand trembling until she sees the smiling face of Kristian Devereaux on the screen. She raises the phone up to her ear and answers.
Jeszika: Hello?
Kristian’s voice comes back to her, normal and calm.
Kristian: Are you home yet, Jez?
Relief fills her voice.
Jeszika: Just got home, where are you guys?
Kristian: At Prey, we stayed at Carrie’s. Ravvy and Casey are here with us and Jonas made sure security was on duty at all times.
Jeszika: Ok, I’ll be there soon.
She hangs up and locks up before getting back in her car and heading to Prey. A few minutes later, she pulls up to the bar and hurries inside. As she comes inside, she sees her girlfriend, Carrie Winter, at work tending the bar.
Carrie: Hey, Jezzy!
Jeszika: Hey Care, hows things?
Carrie nods to the back room.
Carrie: Kris is back there, I don’t think Ravvy and Casey have enjoyed being cooped up much. Jonas had a couple of guys follow Kris to work…
She pauses, looking nervously back at her door.
Carrie: I don’t think he liked that much.
Jeszika: I’m sorry you guys have to go through this… it’s all my fault…
Carrie frowns at her.
Carrie: How do you figure that one, Jezzy?
Jeszika: It’s me he’s targeting, and he’s using you guys to get at me, making me freak out thinking he’s hurting you. If anything happened to you guys, I don’t know what I would do… and he knows it, I’m sure…
Carrie nods slowly.
Carrie: I kind of signed up for stuff like that a long time ago, Jezzy. I did porn, I work at a bar with a prominent wealthy man as a boss. I’ve worked a job with you, Nik, Bethy and Ash and I’ve dated two of you and seen this before. So if it’s your fault for choices you made, at this point, it’s just as much mine for the same reason.
Jeszika: Good point… I’m still sorry…
Carrie moves out from behind the bar and hugs Jeszika.
Carrie: We’re ok, Jez. Whatever happened to get you going, we’re ok.
Jeszika: Thanks, Care…
Carrie nods to her room in the back.
Carrie: You should go tell Kris you’re here.
Jeszika: Will do.
She kisses Carrie on the cheek.
Jeszika: Love you, Babe.
Carrie nods and heads back to the bar.
Carrie: Love you.
With that Jeszika heads back to Carrie's room and knocks on the door. A dog can be heard inside as the door opens. Kristian Devereaux smiles out at her.
Kris: Hey…
He steps back, opening the door, holding back his dog, Ravvy as she comes in. Closing the door, Ravvy jumps up to say hello to Jeszika. Within seconds, his big Savannah cat, Casey joins the welcome home party as well.
Kris: I spose i’m not the only one happy to see you.
Jeszika manages a laugh as she scratches the chin of each with one of her hands.
Jeszika: Yeah, I suppose not. Everything been ok here?
Kristian nods.
Kris: Yeah, been rather quiet. Carrie hasn’t even been that drunk lately.
Jeszika: Wow that's great news. Looks like we're both taking a turn for the better then.
Kristian nods.
Kris: I think she was waiting for you. She’s had a little but nothing like usual of either.
Jeszika: I've kept clean. I've needed to focus.. not that it got me anywhere. I didn't even get a finger on him...
Kristian nods as they move further inside and sit on Carrie’s couch.
Kris: She’s likely gonna wanna have a beer at least tonight to celebrate you being home but I don’t know if she’s gonna wanna go crazy like y’all have done before. She’s been more worried about watching them and making sure Jonas had somebody good watching me at work than she has been about getting loaded.
He trails off and then snaps his fingers.
Kris: Oh, and your gun is in the nightstand.
Jeszika: Close at hand, good thinking. Loaded?
He nods again.
Kris: Yeah, though I don’t think either of us was wild about it. Carrie looked like she REALLY wanted to get messed up after seeing it. I think she was… sort of…
Jeszika: Freaked out by it?
Kris: Yeah… she started mumbling something about Ash and snorting stuff.
Jeszika: Maybe it's best if I keep it hidden, close but hidden...
She goes over to the bedroom, opens the drawer and picks up the gun tucking it into her jeans at the small of her back, just out of sight before coming back into the room.
Kris: Probably not a bad idea. It’s been in that drawer since we got here pretty much for just that reason.
Jeszika: I want you guys safe... not scared…
Kristian shrugs.
Kris: I think Carrie just has a thing about guns since that time she got shot at.
Jeszika: I'm sorry you guys have to go through this... I wish he wasn't after me... hell I don't even know WHY he's after me. I don't know him, I don't have a title anymore, what possible reason could he have to come after me?
Kris: Wish I knew.
Jeszika: You don't know him do you? Maybe Carrie does... there has to be some kind of link...
Kristian shakes his head.
Kris: Not that I’m aware of.
Jeszika: Whatever it is... I won't let him hurt you or Carrie ever.
He smiles and takes her hand.
Kris: I know you won’t.
Jeszika manages a smile.
Jeszika: I would protect you with my life.
Kristian leans and kisses her.
Kris: I love you, Jezzy.
Jeszika: I love you too... I don't know how I'd live without you.
Suddenly, the door flies open and Carrie comes in holding her phone out away from her, a faraway look in her eyes.
Kris: Care…?
Carrie moves away from the doorway, the door closing behind her.
Kris: Care?
Carrie’s eyes move off her phone, her gaze falling onto Jeszika and Kristian.
Carrie: He… he…
She nods to her phone, bringing it over to them. As they look on it, a video plays showing Carrie from a distance, walking in a grocery store. She walks passed a bunch of baked goods and pauses next to a freezer unit holding a bunch of cakes. She glances to either side, slips something her pocket and holds it to her face before slipping it back to her pocket. As the video ends, a message crawls across the screen.
“A wintery wonderland with protection from threatening outsiders… just keep telling yourself that.”
Carrie: That was… yesterday…
Jeszika: Bastard! This is his way of telling me I can’t always protect you… after I just said…
She growls.
Jeszika: God damn it, he’s watching us!!
Carrie’s phone goes off again.
“Such a wondrous calamity, entertainment abounds.”
Jeszika: Fuck you you son of a bitch, I swear to god if you touch them… I will kill you!
The phone chimes right back.
“Just keep telling yourself that too. The Harbinger of Sorrow awaits. Happy are we that will behold what tomorrow brings.”
Jeszika growls in frustration.
Jeszika: Screw you!!!
Carrie drops the phone, shaking at the sight of it. Kristian leans in and quickly takes hold of her.
Kris: Care? Care, it’s ok…
Her anger fades for a moment as Jeszika too rushes over to console her.
Jeszika: Care... I won’t let him hurt you, I swear!
The phone chimes again and Kristian shakes his head.
Kris: Just turn it off, don’t look.
Jeszika nods.
Jeszika: He won’t win… He won’t get the better of us… ever!
Carrie reaches down, still shaking, picks up her phone and turns it off.
Carrie: God, I need a drink…
Jeszika: I’m with you on that one.
Carrie: Almost wish I had an eight ball too.
Jeszika bites her lip and looks up at Kris.
Jeszika: Just a drink for now… Maybe we can do more later, just try and breathe and relax, Care, I won’t let him hurt you. We’ll keep you safe.
Carrie nods, standing up. She walks over to the fridge and pulls three beers, all in bottles.
Carrie: Jonas’s own microbrew… I think he got it from the Thompsons’ local guy.
Jeszika: Gotta be good then.
Kristian accepts one and frowns.
Kris: Thompsons?
Carrie nods as she sits down.
Carrie: It’s a family, from all over the south. Buncha moonshiners and wrestlers, two of them are in the same company Jezzy and Bethy are.
Jeszika: Never tried their stuff, but I’ve heard tales.
Carrie nods, taking a pull off her bottle.
Carrie: Some of it will fuck you up fast!
She pauses and then giggles.
Carrie: Some of it would make you trip so bad you think that Kyle Travis guy was telling the truth.
Jeszika: Well that sounds like something I don’t ever wanna think… Blasphemy Carrie! Blasphemy!!
She takes a mouthful of her drink.
Carrie: I saw their cousins dance in Vegas once, the one who looks like Bethy, the tall sweet one and then a third that was kinda crazy looking in the eyes. Oh my God, were they hot… every guy and half the women in there were just…
She shudders slightly and the smile fades off her face.
Carrie: He meant your match when he said Harbinger, didn’t he?
Jeszika: Yeah, he did.
Carrie nods, taking another pull on her bottle.
Carrie: The next few weeks are gonna be bad, aren’t they?
Jeszika: I don’t know, most likely, but we’ll make it through. He won’t win.
Carrie: What about her?
Jeszika: I will beat her… I have to. We beat Joshua, we can beat her.
Kristian hugs both of them.
Kris: Let’s not worry about that tonight. They’ve taken enough already.
Jeszika: Yeah they have, tonight, is for us. Tonight, we relax and spend time together, without interruptions.
She pulls her cellphone out and turns it off.
Jeszika: Tonight is for us.
