Act 1: I never doubt, all I do is trust
"Trust is something that I never regret since I've met him. He is my everything, the love of my life. I will never doubt him."
The scene opens on the long stretch of road that lead away from the main road and toward the small town of Dunwich. The bright afternoon sun, had cast its rays to the world below, as the birds sung high in the trees that lined the road. The smell of smoke drifting from the chimney's near by drifted on the air, mixing with the soft smell of the tall pine trees that towered through out the forest. Small woodland creatures moved through the vast forest, away from predators that stalked them, through the vast expanse. The sound of a car is soon heard moving along the road, and we soon see a black BMW moving along the road and through the small town of Dunwich. The car moves through the quiet town and starts to head up the long stretch of road, that headed toward the old manor that sat on the hill high above. The car soon passes by the long wall that ran around the cemetery, and soon stops in front of the old manor house. The driver's side door opens and out steps Sephiroth du Lac. He adjusts his collar of the trench coat that he wore as he walks around to the passenger's side and opens the door, and a slender hand comes out of the darkness. We see Emily take his hand and step out into the late afternoon.
Emily: It feels so good to be home.
Seph: That is does love. Come, lets head inside.
Emily smiles softly nodding as they head up the stairs, as the door seems to open on its own. They walk into the foyer only to see clothes tossed onto the floor, and up the stairs.
Emily: Those are not mine...
Seph: No they are not.
Emily sets her bag down and spots what appears to be dried blood that had soaked into the carpet on the stairs. Emily looks at Seph and sighs.
Emily: How much you wanna bet...
Seph: I have no doubt. I wonder where they are.
Voice: Oh thank the Goddess that you're back!
Emily and Seph look to the top of the stairs and they see the young woman named Stacy, the once loyal follower of the Goddess Isis now retired and settled in as a live in maid for Emily and Seph. She makes her way down the steps and soon is standing in front of them.
Emily: What happened?
Stacy: Well... Cleo and Sothren ended fighting over something and well she killed him at least four or five times and then the last time he came back, they started to make out, and then the clothes started to come off as they headed up the stairs... And well... and then they...
Emily holds her hands up, and sighs.
Emily: I get it.
Seph: I'm surprised they didn't make you watch...
Stacy lowers her head, as she goes silent.
Stacy: They did...
Seph: I am so sorry... Could you be a dear and go knock on their door and let them know we are home please?
Stacy: Yes Sir.
Emily: And make sure that they wear pants...
Stacy: Yes ma'am.
Stacy walks off as Emily smiles softly.
Emily: That girl has seen a lot in her time hasn't she?
Seph: You have no idea.
Emily: I'm going to go and unpack.
Seph: Alright love you go ahead, we'll be flying out in a few days to Atlanta.
Emily: I know. I'm going to relax a little and get aught up on my studies.
Emily kisses him and starts to walk up the stairs as two little black cats appear at the top of the stairs. Emily pets them before she heads down the long hallway with them following behind her. She smiles softly and stops in front of a door and opens it slowly revealing a massive room, with tall shelves filled with strange colored bottles, along with a large bookshelf filled with books. Against one wall, sat a queen size bed, done in a deep purple pillows and a duvet with the same color scheme with matching curtains that hung over the floor to ceiling windows. She sits on the edge of the bed, and picks up her phone seeing a couple of messages but a link to a promo had been left. She clicks it and sees Merxy. She watches it, as her eyes narrow. It soon ends and she gets to her feet and opens the big triple full length mirror as her two sides appear once again. Rayne was dressed in a short red dress that hung off of her shoulders, and her long black hair draped down her back, and her blue eyes burned in the bright light. Tabitha was dressed in a long black and purple dress with her long black hair was done in heavy curls, and her bright blue eyes shimmered. Emily stood in the middle dressed in her warm black leggings, and shirt that had cursive writing on the front that read Wicked Witch.
Rayne: Well, well well she had a lot to say didn't she?
Tabitha: You know she's wrong. He loves you, and not Joanne. She is in his past, you are his future.
Emily: I know she doesn't mean it... I mean she's trying to get under my skin.... Right?
Rayne: If that's what you want to tell yourself... Sure!
Tabitha: Don't listen to her dear. Merxy still doesn't trust you and she's trying to make you doubt your trust in him and the others around you.
As Emily stares at herself in the mirror Rayne was now at her right shoulder with her slender fingers with long deep red nails gently caressing her shoulder.
Rayne: You know that if he did anything like that you would never know. But if Joanne were to make the first move... You could punish her.
Emily sighs closing her eyes, and soon opens them seeing Rayne was back in the right hand side mirror.
Emily: I know she's not that stupid. But Merxy is trying to make me doubt the love and trust that I have for him and that he has for me. I can't let her get into my head like this.
Tabitha: That's right. You ARE the Black Queen! If he wanted Joanne he would have made her the Black Queen, not you. You are the one that will guide us, that will make people quake in fear at your presence and at the same time to be loved by those around you.
Emily: I know. I feel better about myself since I started to learn certain things and I have to admit I'm doing good. Hell all the women that Seph has had in his life, you... I am the only one that has even been worthy to be the Black Queen.
Rayne: Wrong...
Tabitha: There has been one other but he doesn't like to talk about it.
Emily sighs but still holds her head up high.
Emily: Merxy is not going to be walking away with the title in hand. I'm going to make sure of that, no matter what I have to do.
She turns from the mirrors and walks out of the room, seeing the two little black cats sitting in front of her door. She smiles softly as she sees them. She doesn't say anything but heads toward the stairs.
Emily: Merxy I know that you still don't trust me, and I really can't blame you. You don't know me, let alone know what is going to happen in the end. If my family will come out and try to attack you again, or if we are just going to go our separate ways and one of us can go onto bigger and better things, but I'm afraid that it won't be me walking away empty handed. Not this time. I was cheated last time and I will take what is rightfully mine this time. You got lucky and think you got away with something that a lot of us want and have wanted for a long time. I have held the biggest title in this company twice, along with the Eternal twice. You have yet to make your way through this company and take some of higher spots. But your time is up, and mine is just beginning once again.
Emily smiles softly, as she moves along the hallway with the two little cats following behind.
Emily: Merxy you have no idea of what is to come in this match. I know that you will be ready for anything that I can throw at you and in reply I will do the same. I'm not going to stop until I have what I want and if that means I have to beat you down until there is nothing left of you except a puddle where you once stood. I don't really have much more to say about you or our match for that matter. I would rather settle this in the ring anyway, and I know you do as well. See you soon and good luck, you're going to need it.
Emily laughs as she sees Seph dragging Sothren by the ear.
Seph: I told you I was going to do it!
Soth: Ow! Ow! Ow! Let go!
Seph reaches the top of the stairs and drags Sothren down them. Emily watches it all happen as Cleo walks down behind them.
Seph: Cleo you heard me warn him!
Soth: Let go!
Seph reaches the bottom of the stairs and drags Sothren to the front door. He opens the door and grabs Sothren as he tries to get to his feet.
Seph: Now you're not coming back in here until you can be civilized!
Sothren gets to his feet, and tuns back to the door.
Soth: But...
The door slams on his face as Emily reaches the bottom of the stairs.
Seph: I told him I would do it!
Seph smiles at her and pushes a piece of stray hair that had fallen into his face.
Seph: Please let me know when Miss Volkov arrives please.
Emily: I will.
Seph walks off as Emily just laughs with the scene fading to black.
