Moving on from the past: Part 4

Panic.

That is an emotion Kimberly Williams is used to feeling.  Fear, though, is one that Kimberly is used to dealing with.  The thing is, she’s used to being the one who dishes out the fear.  She’s used to people fearing her.  She isn’t used to being the one who is afraid and fearful of her own survival.

Kimberly is normally a sadistically cool, calm, and collected customer with all of her plans plotted out and prepared in advance.  But perhaps her most recent move was in haste?  Perhaps her most recent move was not well thought out and done more out of emotion rather than her typical well thought out plans?  Kidnapping her former guardian Emma Storm and torturing her, beating her into submission, felt like a good idea at the time.   Emma had lied to her and manipulated her all of her life.  She tried to use Kimberly as a weapon against Kim’s own family.  Kimberly was convinced that Emma deserved every bit of the abuse she was prepared to deliver.  Unfortunately there was one x-factor that she did not count on…

…David Burns, Emma’s ex-boyfriend who assisted her in raising Kimberly until the age of eighteen when Emma finally kicked him out.  Kimberly thought he was long gone.  She hadn’t heard from him at all after Emma had kicked him out.  But now he’s back and he wants Emma back in his life and he is convinced that Kimberly has had something to do with her disappearance.

He would be right.  Emma first went off the grid in order to get away from her vengeful step-daughter.  But she couldn’t stay off the radar for long.  Kimberly managed to track her down, kidnap her, and lock her up in the basement of an abandoned run down home.  Kimberly is both directly and indirectly responsible for Emma’s disappearance.

It isn’t unusual for someone to figure out one of Kimberly’s plans.  She may plan them out carefully but she has been found out before.  What makes this unique is that it’s David Burns who is onto her.  Kimberly is not afraid of her twin sister, Marie, who is in on what has happened to Emma.  Kimberly isn’t afraid of her biological mother Angelica Jones.

Kimberly is afraid of David Burns.

It’s hard to imagine a sociopathic monster like Kimberly Williams being afraid or being scared but this is one person who does strike fear in her heart, due in large part to how he treated her when she was growing up.

Burns routinely beat and abused Kimberly.   He punished her repeatedly with violent, drunken outbursts.  Those beatings hardened her into a monster but, at the same time, she never did get past the mental and emotional trauma of what he did.

Now he’s back and he’s determined to find Emma and he will go through Kimberly to get her if he has to.  Unfortunately, Kimberly’s identical twin sister Marie Annabelle Jones has been drug into this and Kimberly feels as if this is entirely her fault.  She never intended to bring Marie into harm’s way.  So she will fix this…

…by any means necessary.

The empty, abandoned, run down home on the outskirts of Boston, Massachusetts is darkened at the dusk.  There is a deceptive peace throughout this home, because underneath the floorboards, in the basement, is Emma Storm.  She is chained up and seemingly waiting on death to claim her.  It could be any day now.

It could be today.

The deceptive peace is brought to an end when the front door is kicked in.  Kimberly Williams then comes storms in with a look of pure, unmitigated rage etched upon her face.

“Oh Emma!  Time to pay the piper!”

The redhead wastes no time as she storms down the hall and towards a door.  She flings it open and begins to descend down the staircase inside that leads to the basement.  The normally jovial sociopath seems almost demonic as she makes her way down the steps.  She makes her way to the bottom and flips a switch, turning on the lights.  She stares at the lump of near dead human flesh known as Emma Storm lying chained to the ground.

“Wake up, sleepy head!”

Emma groans as she slowly stirs awake.  This isn’t fast enough for a frustrated and impatient Kimberly who immediately makes two large strides over, jerks Emma up to her feet, causing a jerk in the chains on her wrists and ankles.  Kimberly shakes her violently.

“I SAID WAKE UP!”

“Kimberly, please…I…hurting…”

Kimberly rolls her eyes and then releases Emma, but Emma is so weak that she cannot remain standing on her own power and, as a result, falls back down to the ground.

“Pathetic.”

Williams drops down to her knees so that she is eye level with Emma.  She rears back and slaps the taste out of Emma’s mouth.  She slaps her a second time across the cheek.  She rears back and punches her the third time, causing blood to come from her nose.

“You are pathetic, Emma!  You are a sad excuse for a human being!”

Kimberly sighs.

“Unfortunately, I need your help.”

Emma is shocked by this statement.  After weeks upon weeks of torture and torment now Kimberly needs her help?

“You need….help….?”

Kimberly nods her head as she wraps an arm around Emma’s shoulders.

“That’s what I said, frosty haired blonde bimbo bitch.  I need your help.”

Emma is still shocked as she shakes her head.

“But…how…”

Kimberly again slaps her across the face, this time in order to silence her.

“Just shut up and listen!  David Burns is back.  You remember him, don’t you?”

“David…”

Emma’s voice trails off in her weakened state.  Kimberly nods her head, a vapid sneer on her face.

“That’s right, David, the guy who beat the ever loving shit out of me on a regular basis!”

She glares at Emma angrily.

“And YOU allowed it!”

Emma shakes her head furiously.

“I didn’t…want…I didn’t want him to…he beat us…he beat us both…”

“It was bad enough that you kept me locked up in that house like a damn prisoner all of my life, filling my head with garbage and lies, but you were supposed to be my guardian and you LET him hurt me!”

She punches Emma in the gut as hard as she can, causing her to cough up blood.

“You OWE me, bitch!  You created me, you created this mess, and it’s on YOU to fix this!”

Emma eventually regains her composure and looks up into Kimberly’s eyes.  A look of realization comes across her face as she figures out what’s going on.  Emma smirks knowingly as a feeling of confidence enters her body for the first time in a very long time.  She finally feels as if she may have some leverage over Kimberly.

“He wants me back, doesn’t he?”

Kimberly nods her head.

“Yeah…”

“And he’s figured out that you did something to me, hasn’t he?”

Williams sighs and nods her head.

“Right again, Sherlock.”

“You are my daughter, Kimberly.  I raised you and you’re right, I did create you.  So it’s not difficult to read you.  I can read you like a fucking book.”

Kimberly snaps.  She jumps up to her feet and then kicks Emma in her ribcage.

“YOU DID CREATE ME!  YOU MADE ME WHO I AM TODAY!”

She kicks her again in the ribcage.

“BUT YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER!  DO YOU HEAR ME?!”

Kimberly mounts Emma and rains down right hands and left hands one after another onto Emma.

“MY MOTHER IS ANGELICA JONES!”

The strange noise of laughter fills the air and it isn’t Kimberly’s laughter…it’s Emma’s.  Kimberly stops momentarily as she stares incredulously at Emma, shocked that she would be laughing after taking this abuse. Then she narrows her eyes in anger as she glares at Emma.

“What’s so damn funny?!”

“Because I realized that I finally achieved total victory over Angelica Jones.”

Kimberly tilts her head to one side and studies her curiously.

“Huh?  What the hell do you mean?!”

“You may be Angelica’s daughter but you are MY child.  No child of Angelica’s would do what you did to Marie, or need I remind you how you kidnapped her and took her place in her life?  No child of Angelica’s would do what you did to me by kidnapping me and bringing me here just to torture me!”

Emma shakes her head.

“No, you are not Angelica’s child.  You are my child and you will always be my child.  Angelica’s child died the day she gave her to me.  You are mine, Kimberly.  Admit it.”

Kimberly, in a rage, punches Emma as hard as she can in the face.

“NEVER!”

Emma is still laughing maniacally.

“I love that infamous stubborn streak.  You DO at least have that bit of Jones in you…”

Kimberly realizes very quickly that she has lost complete control of this situation.  Despite being the one chained to the floor, Emma is in control here; not Kimberly.  Kimberly sighs and shakes her head.

“Ok, look, let’s forget about that crap.  Let’s forget about my mom or who created me or any of that shit.  I need your help in dealing with Dave.”

Emma shakes her head.

“No.”

Kimberly grows more and more frustrated.

“Look, I’ll even take the chains off and let you go free if you just go out there and take care of Dave!”

“Why should I help you, Kim?  What is in it for me?  I already gained my victory over Angelica Jones, I realize that now.  And why would I help you after all that you have done to me?”

Kimberly gets up in Emma’s face again and screams.

“HELP ME, DAMN YOU!”

Emma sneers.

“Go to hell.”

Kimberly wraps her hands around Emma’s throat.

“NO!  YOU WILL HELP ME, DAMNIT!”

“ACK!”

“YOU WILL HELP ME!  YOU WILL FIX THIS!”

She squeezes harder and harder.  By this time Kimberly is in too much of a rage to notice that Emma can no longer breathe.  Kimberly continues to squeeze on her throat, harder and harder, and Kimberly doesn’t even notice that Emma is turning colors due to lack of oxygen.

“I SAID HELP ME!  HELP ME!  HELP…”

It is at this time that Kimberly finally realizes what is going on.  She notices that there is no life in Emma’s eyes or on her face.  She sees the very look of death on her former guardian’s face.  Kimberly releases her grip, causing the limp, lifeless corpse of Emma Storm to fall to the ground.

“…me?”

Kimberly stands up and gasps.

“…what have I done?!”

You gotta love young kids and their dreams, right?  It’s great to have a dream and you can’t find two young kids with bigger dreams than Connor Greene and Gwen Black.  I mean, they won some half-assed tag match and now they think they’re on the same level as The Ginger Nation.  They think they are now on par with the single most dominating force in tag team wrestling today.  They actually believe that they can hang with yours truly and Sophie James.

Newsflash, boys and girls…or should that just be girls for accuracy sake?...anyway, newsflash, girls, you are not in our league.

Well, actually, in terms of just simple wrestling maybe.  I mean, if we had a straight up traditional wrestling match maybe it would be a competitive, hard fought match.  But you should know by now that Sophie and I are far from being traditional and we definitely are not by the books.  We are the originators of the #GingerHoax.  We shocked the world and, in the process, humiliated the idiot Heartbreakers.

If we’re willing to go to those lengths to keep our titles from ole Niles and Corey, imagine what we’ll do to two wet behind the ears punk kids straight out of the Ante-Up Academy?

Did your trainers at the Academy even tell you about people like Sophie and I?  Did they prepare you for a duo like the #GingerNation?  I seriously doubt it, because there is no preparing for people like us.  People like Sophie and I, we are very dangerous individuals and we are nothing like anything or anyone you have ever faced in your young careers.

But then again, you did get a taste of what to expect on Outbreak, didn’t you?  Yeah, Kimmie and I gave you a preview of coming attractions and it wasn’t too fun, was it?  Well let me forewarn you right now that it will be a lot worse when the spotlight is on and the game begins.  When that bell rings and the tag titles are on the line, there’s no way you two can avoid the fate that will befall you…

…a bloody, violent fate at the hands of the Ginger Nation!
