Leah is shown sitting under a tree with something red on her hands. Behind her nailed to the tree are 3 pictures, one of each opponent this week. She rocks back and forth with her eyes closed humming some song but it is not known what song it is. She smiles every now and while humming. Leah seems to be in a trance but does stop humming and opens her eyes.
At the top of the mountain they say it can be crowded. I do not feel this way, because i do not see myself as top of the mountain right now. I hold a title over a newly formed division that is merely a baby still developing. Some could say that by besting the supposed best Junior Heavyweight Champion that puts me at a higher level than most. The way I see it is simply put, I proved myself as the best at the moment and this Monday I get to prove if I am able to overcome the odds like I did once already. In my head I see this match as a proving grounds type match not just for me but for the three others involved.
In this match there is nothing for me to win and everything to lose. You see if Sky gets the win then he furthers his number one contendership for my title. I do not want to give him more than he really needs against me, when the time comes. Sky i see as my biggest threat only because he possesses a title shot for my title right now. So soon me and him will meet in a match that can seem as brutal as it needs to be because violence is what I breed in my matches. Now we move to Arthan who has the ability to make darkness seem like an acceptable substitute to light. I myself enjoy the darkness as I too embraced it and can see how it forms around things and people. If Arthan wins then he gets a claim as next in line because he would have a win over the champ and a person possessing a title shot for my title. Gotta love dark horse stories because they really have the ability to shake things up in their direction. Now to Felicity you like Arthan except you're not a dark horse. You're someone who they expect to be at the top of the heap and I think your sole mission in this match is to see what I am capable of. I do see you as a worthy challenger but I do not see you as my next challenger. I think we could make some beautiful magic if given the chance but that chance is not now.
Leah stands up and smears the word Lost over Felicity's picture. Then turns around again with a smile on her face.
Now I know my last statement was a little harsh towards you Felicity and I do not want you to think that I need to put you down to gain something. I feel that given the right circumstances that we would tear the house down more so than me and Sky will when we finally face off. See the thing is you already had your time to shine and while you did look really good you still proved why you're not ready yet. This match you are facing 3 other people that are attempting to make their star shine brighter. So your lust and passion for being the best is gonna be overshadowed by 3 people who in different ways will be talked about in a better way than yourself. See with Sky being the number one contender. All eyes will be on how he handles the pressure of being in there with 2 people that want to take his spot away and show why they deserve it more than him. So his presence will be judged as a pass or fail come the result.
Then you got Arthan who is attempting to show that this outing he can seal the deal and show people that Sky is a wooden duck in a pond full of real ducks. Now he quite possibly could get the win and be added to Sky and myselfs match and really live up to the dark horse he is. Now with myself it will be about how the Strong Style Champion overcomes the odds and comes out unscathed or at least with minimal damage. If i lose then the focus will be on if i am a good champion or if i am weak and powerless. You yourself Felicity it will be about if you can pull yourself up to a level you need in order to achieve a goal and lock out Sky as a contender. Even though those things could seem important given the reason behind them. Those things are all least important in this match. You've been around here long enough to realize that good talk comes hard to find when you lose before a bigger match. I want to like you and give you your credit but I can not just yet. I will say as before I think you're a badass and can possess the given talent to unseat me.
Leah smears the word Never over Arthans picture. She stares at it for a few seconds then shakes her head. She turns around and laughs a little before speaking again.
Now Arthan you pose a silent threat in what could be a match for the ages. You're coming off a heartbreaking loss in a match where it could have been you standing across from me soon. When this match comes around I want you to remember how it felt to be so close to something better. I know that those eyes when i look into them will tell me a story of a want you did not get yet. Your killer instinct is gonna have to be at the top and you will have to do something you haven’t been able to do yet. I know that I do not need to tell you what the one thing you need to do is but I will because I know great minds like me and you speck in ways that others can not understand. You need to push through everything and rise up from the ashes like the fallen phoenix. You Arthan will have to subject yourself to pure punishment in order to become what you think you need to be. Then only will you be on that level you need to be on.
Once it was taken away from you and you allowed it to happen. You were helpless and could not do anything as Sky took your chance at becoming more powerful. Sky bested you last time and if he does it again what is to say you can come back from that defeat. Your claim in this match is to get back that loss. If you do not win, then everything that has come from your mouth has been a lie and you will learn that the liar gets buried in the backyard next to the snitches. Now do not get these words wrong because they could mean anything or everything. To create beautiful music you have to sometimes dream in nightmares. Arthan we can make that beautiful music but it will come at a price that you might be willing to wanna pay. So begins your nightmarish fall into the unknown. Be very prepared for what is to come of your failure if you do not succeed in carrying out what you promised others.
Leah smears the word Death over Skys picture. She stares at it for a few seconds then turns around and smears the red stuff on her face.
Sky for you this match has to be perfect from the beginning to the very end. This is your match to lose by simply blinking. You have been given a golden chance to best me before we officially lock up for my Strong Style Championship. This match is the one you need to win the most out of any of us involved. If you win it makes you coming into our title match that much more believable as a contender to me. In a way you need to win this match to keep your name up on that list of superstars. Think about the hype train if you Sky actually do beat me in this match. The APW fans would get behind you and really believe you have the ability to unseat me. That is what is called a fairy tale ending for you.
It is too bad I do not believe in fairy tale endings. The problem with a dream is sometimes it becomes a nightmare. Ask Alex about his dreams and how when he met me those faded like dust in the wind. 3 times I proved he was not able to do anything of note against me. Sky this is where life becomes a mind game. Everything i mentioned is possible with a win but how about with a loss. I want you to close your eyes and imagine yourself staring up as my hand is raised and announced as the winner. I want you to look into those eyes and remember that look of defeat you have. I know that sometimes we do not want to picture bad things. I know you want to win like everyone else does man. I know that in order for you to understand what I am saying you have to first accept that losing can happen to yourself. Once you recognize that the man you see in your dreams is broken you can really get what i am saying. I just want you to be prepared for reality when it hits. One way or another one of us is leaving feeling good and the other is leaving just to go home and prepare more.
Leah rips down the pictures and starts to laugh then gets a serious look on her face.
I am ready for a war that takes my mind and body to another level. I am going to prove that my words are prophecies for what is to come. I want everyone to sit back and watch the pieces crumble for everyone as I stand one step closer to either heaven or hell. I want the masses to see that Leah Lincoln will survive and that 3 people no matter the skill set can not collectively stop me from achieving my goals. I want this match to show that if someone wants something they will truly earn it. Win, lose or draw, I do not care as long as the hand risen is the hand that earned it.

I wish each of you good luck and I hope that you understand that this is not personal in any way. Felicity, Arthan and Sky welcome to the killing field.
Leah walks away as the pictures blow away in the wind.
