Khloe jolted awake with a gasp, her heart pounding in her chest, sweat drenching her pajamas. She had been trapped in the suffocating grip of a nightmare, a horrifying sequence where her mother, with eyes brimming with contempt, berated her relentlessly.
"Kasandra, you're worthless," her mother's voice echoed in her mind, each syllable a dagger plunging into her soul. Khloe's tears mixed with her sweat as she clutched her pillow, desperately trying to shake off the residual terror. But as she calmed herself, a chilling realization crept in: her mother hadn’t spoken to her in years , yet the nightmare persisted, each night more vivid than the last.
She stumbled out of bed, her legs trembling beneath her as she made her way to the bathroom. Splashing cold water on her face, she tried to push away the memories that clawed at the edges of her consciousness. But the image of her mother's disapproving gaze lingered, haunting her even in the dim light of dawn.
As Khloe stared into the mirror, her reflection seemed to waver, the lines blurring until she could no longer recognize herself. In that moment of disorientation, a voice whispered in her mind, a voice that sounded eerily like her mother's.
"You'll never escape me, Kasandra," it hissed, sending shivers down her spine. Khloe staggered back, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she realized the true horror of her predicament. Her mother may have been gone from her life, but her legacy of cruelty lived on, a specter that haunted Khloe's every waking moment.
With a trembling hand, she reached for her phone, desperate for any distraction from the suffocating weight of her nightmares. But as she scrolled through her messages, a chill ran down her spine. There, in her inbox, was a message from an unknown sender, a message that simply read:
"I see you, Kasandra. And I'm coming for you."
Khloe's blood ran cold as she stared at the screen, her mind racing with fear and confusion. Who could be sending her such a twisted message? And how did they know her real name, a name she had long tried to bury beneath the weight of her new identity?
As the realization dawned on her, Khloe's heart hammered in her chest, each beat a drumming reminder of the nightmare from which she could never truly escape. For her mother's hatred was not confined to the realm of dreams—it was a living, breathing nightmare that stalked her every step, a nightmare with a disturbing twist that threatened to consume her whole.
Khloe jolted awake with a gasp, her heart pounding in her chest, sweat drenching her pajamas. Beside her, Evelyn stirred, her eyes fluttering open with concern.
“Khloe? What’s wrong?” Evelyn’s voice was groggy with sleep, but the worry in her tone was unmistakable.
Khloe shuddered, the memory of her dream still fresh in her mind. “It was like she was right there, Evelyn. She was looking at me with those cold, judgmental eyes, telling me I was worthless. No matter how hard I tried to escape, her words just kept echoing in my head.”
Evelyn wrapped her arms around Khloe, pulling her close in a comforting embrace. “I’m here, Khloe. It was just a bad dream. You’re safe with me.”
Khloe’s sobs began to subside as she clung to Evelyn, her heart heavy with the weight of her fears. “I just don’t know if I’m cut out for this, Eve….Despite everything….all the blood, sweet and tears, I feel like I haven’t achieved anything significant. And now, in this upcoming match, I’m the most seasoned competitor, but I still feel like I’m struggling to prove myself.”
Evelyn’s arms tightened around Khloe, offering her a sense of security and understanding. “Khloe, listen to me,” Evelyn began, her voice soft but firm. “You are incredible. You’ve worked so hard to get to where you are, and every match you’ve fought has been a testament to your dedication and skill. Just because you haven’t reached some arbitrary milestone doesn’t mean you’re not achieving great things every time you step into that ring.”
Khloe’s tears slowed as she listened to Evelyn’s reassuring words, her doubts gradually melting away in the warmth of her lover’s embrace. “But what if my mother was right?” she whispered, her voice tinged with uncertainty. “What if I am worthless, like she always said?”
Evelyn’s heart ached at the pain in Khloe’s voice, but she refused to let her succumb to her mother’s toxic words. “Khloe, your mother’s opinion does not define you. You are not worthless. You are strong, talented, and deserving of every success that comes your way. And even if you haven’t achieved everything you want yet, that doesn’t mean you won’t get there. You have so much potential, Khloe, and I believe in you with all my heart.”
Khloe’s breath hitched as she absorbed Evelyn’s words, a flicker of hope igniting within her. For the first time in a long while, she allowed herself to believe that maybe, just maybe, her mother was wrong—that she was capable of achieving greatness on her own terms.
As they lay together in the quiet darkness, Khloe felt a sense of peace wash over her, knowing that no matter what challenges lay ahead, she would always have Evelyn’s unwavering support to guide her through. And with that knowledge, she closed her eyes, allowing herself to drift into a peaceful sleep, secure in the love that surrounded her.
Khloe stands amidst the colorful aisles of a bustling toy shop, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she carefully selects toys from the shelves.
“You know, lately I’ve been having some pretty intense nightmares,” Khloe begins, her voice tinged with reflection. “But instead of letting them hold me back, I’ve decided to use them as fuel for my fire. Because tonight, I’m not just fighting for victory in the ring—I’m fighting to conquer my own fears.”
She holds up a squish-mallow doll with a little grin.
“Well, when you get handed a contract and asked to whip some children into shape, it’s best to take an approach like this I’ve found… because you know… despite what I’m going to do to…”
She pauses for a moment and pulls out her phone.
“…Karli, Constance, and Tressa… Is this a mean girls wannabe clique or something? cough cough Despite everything, I want these new stars in the making to grow into something.”
Khloe’s tone remains firm as she continues, “You see, those nightmares used to terrify me. But now? Now they just remind me of how far I’ve come. Because every time I wake up drenched in sweat, I’m reminded of the strength it takes to overcome fear. And tonight, I’m bringing that strength with me into the ring.”
As she selects toys for her opponents, Khloe seamlessly transitions into mentorship mode, emphasizing how she wants to see them grow and learn from their experiences in the ring.
“But this isn’t just about me,” Khloe says, her voice unwavering. “No, this is about every battle scar, every triumph, and every setback that has molded me into the warrior standing before you. From the first time I stepped foot in this ring to tonight, I’ve faced adversity head-on, and I’ve emerged stronger every damn time.”
Khloe concludes with a confident smile, reaffirming her determination to overcome her fears and achieve victory in the upcoming match.
“So take these toys as a token of my goodwill, a symbol of the mentorship I offer. Use them to remember this moment, to remind yourselves that even in defeat, there is opportunity for growth.”
“At Battleground, I’ll show you what it means to be a true veteran. I’ll show you the grit, the determination, and the unbreakable spirit that defines me. And when that final bell tolls, there’ll be no doubt in anyone’s mind who deserves to be the number one contender.”
With that, Khloe tosses the trio of dolls into her basket and walks off-screen, leaving behind an aura of strength and resilience.
