Chelsea Forsters War (for CaptainL)

[RedShinigami]

continued from here
Harmonia Edelstein and Molly Forster were an official couple now.
After a marvelous date where they declared their feelings for each other and a rather chaotic christmas party where they finally got public with it, both women were now more than comfortable with everyone knowing it.
The papers, the internet, LAW Magazine, everyone seemed to go crazy about the new dream pair of LAW but the huge popularity had other reasons too...namely a rivalry that threatend to grow as big, if not overshadowing the gentle bond of love that was formed between Austria and England.
On one side their was a pact and peace treaty as a few miles further down the front the trenches were dug deeper and the ammunition was filled up again with all the fancy new weapons their countries could come up with as Chelsea Forster and Finella Edelstein were at war.

Starting with a Tag Match gone wrong, followed by an impromptu battle of strength and will at an english pub and culminating in a humiliating stripping of Chelsea Forster by the Hellraiser, after the latters first singles match, which was a glorious victory that pissed Chelsea off.
We are LAW was on the horizon and with Finella close to fight her third match against some Canadians of some sort, the path was made to a big battle between the two powerhouses from europe.

And so it was understandable that none of those two would appear on each others turf...until today as Chelsea Forster sat foot into the mansion of the austrian eagles.
Harmonia, always dressed to impress, greeted them, giving Molly a big kiss and turning to Chelsea.
She knew that Chelsea had reservations against her but maybe, just maybe, her coming today was the chance to form at least some sort of small bond with the proud and foulmouthed woman.
"Chelsea. It is so nice that you came..."
Harmonia had talked to Molly and asked her to talk with Chelsea about a visit. Fin would'nt be there, she promised.
On the Sundays she always hung out with Sheila, always, every sunday, since they both met.
And she never came back until 10 pm, mostly drunken by this time.

So Harmonia had the quietness of her home and herself to talk to Chelsea, getting to know her better.
She reached out her hand.
"Welcome, please feel right at home...", she said and hoped that this first greeting would'nt get akward...

[CaptainL]

It went without saying that Chelsea did not want to be here. She had the date set for her rematch with Finella at We Are LAW, and until that day came, she didn't want anything to do with the Edelsteins. Unless she had the opportunity to club Finella over the head, and could be sure that no one was going to get in her way, the very thought of it was unbearable.

...Which meant that when her sister dragged her to the Eagles' Nest, she was less than enthused. It was bad enough having to hear so much about Harmonia and her housemates from Molly. As much as it bothered her, she could tune it out, and at least Molly was happy. But setting foot in their house? Breathing their air? It all reminded Chelsea far too much of the indignities she had suffered at Finella's hands, and the thought of it caused her to grow tense, clenching her teeth and balling her fist around what she imagined would be the Hellraiser's throat. She wouldn't be able to let that go - not until she had Finella crushed under her boots.

"Remind me why I'm 'ere again, Moll?"

"Because Moni wanted to talk to you. Just to make sure there's no hard feelings, okay?"

Chelsea huffed, crossing her arms and looking away. "Oh, trust me, there's 'ard feelin's or'rite!"

"Chelsea! I told you this more than once, Finella isn't going to be there. And it's Moni's idea. She doesn't have any issue with you, I checked." Molly sighed, stepping toward the door. She hoped her sister wouldn't cause too much trouble. Even if Chelsea was the older of the two, sometimes Molly felt like she was the one who had to reign her in.

At last, the door opened, and at the sight of Harmonia answering, Molly ran up to her side, throwing her arms around her and returning the kiss. "Hi, Moni!~ How are you doing? Hope you're having a great day today!" She smiled wider; even if she was concerned about Chelsea causing a problem, the sight of Harmonia never failed to lift her spirits.

Chelsea, meanwhile, looked aside with a surly frown. "Pssht...'nice', yeah..." Nevertheless, she let out a sigh, taking Harmonia's hand and stepping in. She didn't have to like this, but there was no getting out of it now - and, hopefully, she'd be able to make the most of it all the same. "Let's juss get it over wi'..."

Harmonia smiled as she opened the door for the Forsters.
One she loved the other one she tried to reach.
"Darling!", she said with glee.
They had'nt seen each other for a whole day, this could'nt stand!
Harmonia smiled and embraced Molly, holding her tight, asking her how her day was.
It came all so natural to her.
She loved Molly, Molly loved her...all was good in this world.
And they sealed it with a big and romantic kiss.
The blonde beauty kissed her girlfriend, maybe a bit too long as she saw Chelsea rolling her eyes on them.
Harmonia let go of Molly and took hold of her hand.
Harmonia always tried to stay in touch with Mollys body one way or another, given that they just fell in love with each other and were
riding high on their hormones.
"Please, please come in.", she said and gave Molly a concerned look as they walked to the big winter garden of the mansion, inhabitad by various plants.

Spoiler

The three of them sat down.
"Uhm, we have tea and scones, also cake if you like.", Harmonia said nervously.
Usually Harmonia was a tough woman, able to hold herself against the most ferocious foe, be it in the ring or behind a desk, but Chelsea was a whole other beast, in the true meaning of the word.
The three sat down akwardly.
"Would you like another thing? Coffee, Lemonade, Ice Tea, oh, I sent Karl to buy some english beer if you like.", she said, fumbling about her words while always shooting a glance to Molly next to her.
"Ugh...alright. Look...", the blonde woman shook her head.
"Molly and I love each other. That should be crystalclear by now, huh? Believe me Chelsea, I know what goes through your mind. What if this is all a ruse by the bad Austrians, maybe they use Molly to get to you. And the answer is no. My feelings for Molly and the feelings for my sister are stricly apart from each other. I would never think of hurting Molly, in fact we both have something in common, we want Molly to be as safe and sound as possible, at least we agree there yes...and...if we want to be a family then..."
She bit her tongue.
"Uhm, forget that...if we want to get along I really wanted to tell you that I have nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the feud of yours. I am not approving of it, but I won't t try to stop you. Fin and you are both to proud and stubborn to listen to us anyway so..."
She sighed and took Mollys hand, squeezing it tightly.
"Can't we both at least get along? I mean it Chelsea. What do you say? At least...give me a chance huh? Like some trial month or something. Where I can show you that I am honest."
Karl turned around the corner, holding a sixpack of beer.
And if he had'nt spoke then no one would have known that this shaved, kempt and handsome man was the bum in the pub.
"Did you know how far I had to drive to...hey! I it is'nt the brawling bunny from Liverpool.", he said and looked at Chelsea.
He grew to like the rebellious brit as she approached her and slapped her on the back.
"Would have expected anyone but you here...Moni ,do you want to have our house in ruins?", he asked as he opened to beers, gave one to Chelsea and cheered with her.
Harmonia shook her head.
"Fin is'nt here. It's sunday."
"Ah yeah..,out with Sheila, getting drunk and flashing her tits on the highway bridge while getting cheered on by our little Aussie friend...",he said and shook his head.

"Whoah..." Molly's eyes went wide and wandered the room as she followed Harmonia into the mansion. While she had been to the Eagles' Nest before, it never failed to impress her, and she was sure the place was big enough for her to get lost in, finding something new every time she visited. Their garden certainly fit that description; she'd seen gardens before, but not ones the size of an entire room! Molly grinned wider as she stepped into the room, taking in a long breath of the sweet-smelling air as she sat down on a couch. "This place looks amazing, Moni! You guys must've put a lot of work into it..."

Molly could see the anxieties crossing Harmonia's face, and every so often she glanced back at her sister out of the corner of her eye, making sure that Chelsea wouldn't cause any trouble. Fortunately enough, for now it seemed like she was content to sit off to the side with her arms folded in her lap, looking off with a scowl. Molly leaned closer against Harmonia, reaching to take her hand in both of hers in the hopes that her presence would calm her nerves - and she was going to be a good guest either way. "Tea and scones is fine! The perfect way for us to feel at home...right, Chelsea?"

The older Forster huffed, not even making eye contact. "De bevvies better be worth it," she grumbled. Seeing that it'd be harder to get through to her, Molly sighed, but nevertheless scooted closer to Harmonia's side, turning her head to watch Chelsea.

Chelsea, though, rolled her eyes as she at last turned her head toward Harmonia. A ruse? Seriously? How stupid did they think she was? "Wha', ye thought I thought this wuz all a conspiracy, like? Do ye think I'm a moron? Juss because me sister 'as shite taste in womun doesn't mean I think you're out ter get 'er! I'm juss made up ter kun that's really wha' ye think o' me observation skills, dough!"

"Chelsea-!" Molly admonished, but she kept going. "Fact is, I already knew yous two wuz up ter somethin', because...just look at yous! Evun now, yous can't keep yer 'ands off each uvver! You're not dat deep! I already know wha' de two o' yous do, Molly won't shut up about it, and if I thought ye wuz plottin' anythin' ter do ter 'er, I'd 'uv givun ye five across de kite by now!" Chelsea held her fist up to illustrate her point.

"I dun give a rat's about ye, or about Austria - wha' I care about is dat yer merry bag o' a sister needs ter learn a lesson er two about respect! And ye obviously can't do shite to reign 'er in, so I'm gonna 'uv ter do it meself, like! Ye want me ter come over more, dat's fine! Pick up afti yer dog once inna while! But dun expect me ter be all 'ugs and kisses wi' 'er until we make some serious changes!"

Molly sighed. "Chelsea, if this is about your top, you kinda started that-"

At the mention of Chelsea's humiliating defeat at Finella's hands not long ago, when the blonde had made a run-in on Finella following her victory against Lorelei Skyes and learned the hard way about picking fights with the Wolf, Chelsea's mood swiftly changed. She went silent, her eyes narrowing into a glare as she pursed her lips and stared back at Molly. "We dun talk about dat." Still, her eye twitched. Something had gotten under Chelsea's skin when it came to the thought that Finella had managed to one-up her, and the mere idea of the Hellraiser taking her down made her question if she could truly call herself successful at all. And, for the record, it was clearly Finella who started it by calling her out.

Chelsea crossed her arms and turned aside, but her mood would lighten a moment later, when Karl came through the door with a beer in hand. At the sight of him, she grinned, sitting up in her seat as though nothing had happened. "Karl! Atta boy, over 'ere!" she cheered, waving her over. Karl knew what she liked, and she'd have to thank him later - though right now, she was busy chugging down the can.

At Karl's description of what Finella was up to, Molly sighed. "I hope she doesn't get her into trouble..." she mused aloud. Chelsea was less sympathetic, throwing back her head with a laugh as she looked up from her beer. "Yous see wha' I mean? That's a bird oo needs a leash ed 'er! Maybe once yous do dat, I can start terleratin' de two o' yous, like!"

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia immediatly was on the same wavelength with Molly as they entered the lucios winter garden.
"You like it? We decided for victorian style and...".
The Austrian would have started an eager conversation with her girlfriend before seeing Chelseas look upon her face.

The Austrian held Mollys hand who was leaning on to her as she listened to Chelsea, trying to comprehend and suddenly she wanted to shrink and disspear.
"Chelsea, I did'nt meant to..."
Great, invite your girlfriends sister over who already has problems with you and your sister and insult her intelligence! Great Harmonia Edelstein, you knucklehead!
She sank back and looked to Molly next to her.
"Moll...why is it that always when I try to sooth things...I make them worse?", she asked and sighed before Chelsea went on.

And suddenly Harmonia understood what bugged her...even if Chelseas sentence over "the shitty taste in women", sent a fist into her stomach, she got where Chelsea came from with all of this.
It was about her and Finella.
Harmonia and Molly could hop over green meadows, riding unicorns under rainbows and Chelsea would'nt care.

But before things were'nt settled between her and Finella there would be no "nice family gatherings" or "Sunday Dinners"
Both their sisters were capable and proud wrestlers and Harmonia did'nt know exactly what had happened at the Wolf and the Bunny, neither did Molly, but according to Karl Harmonia and Molly should'nt count on a friendlship for a while...
Harmonia listened closely, not just to understand the Scouser but to get what she meant with it.
Then she smiled a little.
"Well, even if your taste in people is another one at least it seems you don't hate me anymore, huh?", she grinned and looked her in the eyes.

Karl entered the room and saw Chelsea sitting there. He had grown to like both Forsters, be it for entirely different reasons.
He respected Mollys ringskills
and liked being around the charming, enthusiastic young lady while Chelsea he got as wrestler, understanding what drove her, even if he was'nt on board with all her decisions, he liked and respected her determination.
He cheered with her and took a sip from his beer while listening.
Yes, that seemed about right.
He currently wrote an Article about the strange Relationship of those four so different women.
He listened to what Chelsea had to say and looked at Harmonia.

"Well Moni, Chels is'nt wrong. Finella really needs to pull herself together, pranks and showing of your skills in the ring aside she really lived up to her name in the last weeks. And a strong signal by her rival would certainly help. Chelsea, have you ever thougt of having a small singles match against Fin before you meet at the PPV? So you know what you both are up against?", he asked Chelsea.


"So...at the PPV you do what, kill yourselfs?", she asked and stared at Chelsea.
"You won't tell me what match you will decide on but given your reputation and your rivalry I can only imagine...", she said.
"Leashed? And you will be the one to do so, huh...well if this frees us from your idiotic feud then so be it.
Have my support. We will give you all the support we have, ain't we Molly? Maybe a little wake up call is what she needs anyway."

She sighed and shook her head.
The next half hour went by uneventful, Harmonia and Molly and Karl and Chelsea did the talking mostly before Harmonia nodded to Molly.
"Good Idea."
She leaned on Molly and looked over to Chelsea.
"Chelsea, Molly and me want to go for a walk and I have quite the idea how you could use the time."
They walked through the big hallways of the Eagles Nest and came to a big room, a gym with modern sports equipment, a ring and a big pool.

"To be ready for Fin, you need the best equipement and we have the best that money could buy. So be my guest.", she said as they walked through the expensive equipement and stopped by the ring.
"You can have clothes, towles, what you want. We have plenty of everything.", the Austrian said.
"So can we leave for a few hours with all of this? You will have the entire mansion to yourself, promise.", Harmonia nodded and looked at Chelsea.

[CaptainL]

Seeing Chelsea turn aside, crossing her arms with a sullen look on her face, Molly could feel something tighten in her stomach - especially as her sister went on to indirectly badmouth Harmonia a moment later. She knew she didn't mean it, and that it was all between her and Finella, but she really wanted to make this work. The last thing she wanted was for their feud to tear her relationship apart, but as long as the Hellraiser was in the picture, it was almost unthinkable that the four of them could ever stay in the same room without the pressure rising. Now, she feared, her sister was only going to throw more fuel on the fire - and after Harmonia's outburst at the Christmas party, she was worried her girlfriend might escalate things further.

Fortunately, Harmonia knew better than that. Molly breathed a sigh of relief as she heard her blow off Chelsea's concerns - and Chelsea, too, handled it relatively well. She only rolled her eyes, sinking back further in her seat. "Yeah. We can 'ope...we can 'ope."

Chelsea sipped at her beer, letting herself rest at ease - but at the same time, she heard Karl's proposal, and she grew just a little bit tenser, her eyelid twitching and her fingers coiling tighter around the can. Even if the Eagles could agree on Finella being a problem, they still had to praise her. And it made Chelsea shudder to think about it. She knew indeed that Finella would be a fearsome opponent; she'd given her plenty of trouble in the ring. But that didn't mean she wanted to think of her that way. To do so would be to legitimize Finella as a threat - and in Chelsea's mind, she was worthy only of scorn.

Her reaction was less about Finella than it was about herself. Chelsea had always been a competitive person, but it had been born out of a desire to prove herself, and to make herself stand out. Yet now, not even the people who were damning Finella a second ago could have faith that Chelsea could beat her. To Chelsea, the thought that she needed to prove herself meant she wasn't as good as Finella. And the thought that Finella had beaten her once again only twisted that knife further.

"Oh, shaddup, shaddup-!" Chelsea shouted out, almost reflexively. She slammed her beer can down on the table in front of her. "I dun need a match wi' 'er ter prove anythin', I can take 'er any time, like! Yous doubtin' me? Believe me, yous won't be doubtin' me whun it 'appens!" Sucking in a breath, she puffed out her chest and sat taller as her boasts grew bolder. "I'm not gon'ter so much as look at Finella until she's about ter be blewdy pulp ed me fists!"

A pause ensued, as Molly looked back at her sister with concern crossing her face. She knew what this was. Chelsea was so caught up in wanting to prove herself superior that she was willing to undercut herself, if it meant making a potential victory that much more worthy of celebration. She was embarrassed even to think that she'd need to practice - but it made Molly wince to think about it. The younger Forster had accidentally hurt Harmonia in their match, but Chelsea and Finella would be trying to hurt each other. She worried about her sister biting off more than she could chew, and paying the price for it.

She looked toward Harmonia for support, but the model expressed the same concerns. "Yeah," Molly said, nodding to her sister. "Trust me, Chelsea...we're here to help you. We know this victory is important to you...and we're worried you'll-"

"Den stop worryin'," Chelsea grumbled. "And give me annuver beer while you're at it."

Molly looked out of the corner of her eye cautiously as Chelsea took another can, guzzling it down. For some time later their conversation was marked by her grumbling and groaning - but eventually, Molly leaned over to whisper something to Harmonia, and just then the young lovers knew just what to do.

"Mm?" Hearing Harmonia's suggestion, Chelsea looked back up at them as they got to their feet. She still resented the thought of not stacking up to Finella, but by this point she'd simmered down enough to go along with them. With a sigh, she rose, coming to their side. "Ah, fine..."

And there, she saw it. Chelsea didn't know what she expected, or how to react to it - but even she had to be impressed with the sight of the Edelstein's gym. She knew that they had a whole stable residing here, but this was commitment! Her eyes went wide as she looked around the room, taking in all of its accommodations and amenities. It was like they had their own training facility down here; hell, it was bigger than some of the gyms Chelsea had gone to! "'oly..."

Chelsea might have been prideful, but deep down, she knew her dreams were unfounded. Much as she'd want to believe otherwise, she couldn't defeat Finella without help, and she couldn't defeat her if she stayed stuck in her rut. This wasn't just any mere feud. This was a war - and Chelsea needed to use anything at her disposal to win it.

When she looked back at Harmonia, her face softened, and she smiled a rare smile that wasn't born out of the misfortune of others. "You'd really do dat fe me? Thanks a ton...I'll use it well." For once, she was genuinely grateful to have connections with the Austrian Eagles. "I'll go get changed, den..."

Molly, too, smiled. This was a side of her sister that few had seen, and that out of everyone in LAW, only she knew. Now, though, she'd had a chance to share that, with the one person she'd trust most. As Chelsea headed into the gym, she looked back at Harmonia with a grin. "I think we made the right choice, Moni..."

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia knew better then to make a scene.
True, the Austrian could be a downright, fucking bitch, so to speak, when she thought that someone did'nt take her
serious.
Amirah had felt it, Alexa had felt it. And that Slut Jem Holland would too at some point...
Moni marveled how she could have so much rivals in so short time...either she did something good or something terribly wrong...
But Chelsea...well, as far as her and Mollys relationship had went, Chelsea was almost like family for her.
Maybe she rushed things but then again, why always slow down?
She knew she loved Molly and wanted to be with her...no time limit there.
And when there was no time limit then there was also no special time to call someone family.
The Forsters were family now, if Chelsea wanted it or not.

The talks started a little aggressive and cold, but Harmonia stood her ground, kept calm, for herself, for Molly and for the sake of peace.
Not knowing that war was on the horizon.
She sighed and looked at Chelsea.
"Chelsea...I get you. I really do...you understand? Since I came here I wanted nothing more to prove myself...and beating up every stupid cunt who talked ill of me. We are'nt that different you and me, huh?", she said and gave Molly a quick grin.
"We both give Molly headaches sometimes I can imagine...sorry for the future headaches, ok Darling?", she said and kissed Mollys hand.
"But thats how we roll. I am no little bitch ok?", she said and just let it all out.
Was it a plan to come closer to Chelsea, yes, but she was honest with it.
It was, what Harmonia was.
Harmonia could be the most gentle, loveable person you could find, everyone could confirm that, especially Molly, but cross her and you got a run for your money.
"Whatever this is between you and Fin is for you and her to settle. In the ring...as wrestlers.", she said and emphasized the last words , as if to warn her not to do something stupid.
"And now that this is settled..."; she said and got up.
"Follow me..."
When Chelsea looked at the big facility in awe, Harmonia chuckled a little and squeezed Mollys hand and when Chelsea turned to her and smiled, Harmonia did'nt knew what to say.
"That...I...", she said and giggled nervously.
"You are welcome Chelsea...look...even if you on't think so...right now at least, I think of us as some sort of little family and family helps each other, ok? Well, have fun with it and try whatever you like. We have the newest stuff."
When the older Forster left Harmonia sighed and fell back against Molly who held her...a good feeling...
"You know...yes...I think I finally got throught to her...ok..."
She turned around and kissed Molly.
"Well...ready for our walk? And if you are a good little Scouser then we might have Dinner at Harutaka again.", she chuckled and led her out of the gym.
Karl himself drove of to meet and old friend....the eagles nest was empty...except for two people...

While Chelsea was changing, her cellphone started to ring.
When she picked it up, a familiar british voice started to talk away.
"Why 'ello 'here swee'hear'! wha' mus' i 'ear? you almos' wrecked my pub an' did'n' gave me 'he chance 'o be 'here, wa'chin you?"", the voice of George Fortunato came to Chelseas ears, who was no one other then the eccentric but flamboyant owner of "The Wolf and the Bunny", were the now infamours "Battle of the Babes" had happend.
"There i fly faw 'wo weeks 'o merry old england, an' wha' 'appens? you ge' in'o an arm wrestlin ma'ch wi'h an austrian girl, 'uh? anyway, congra's on 'he vic'awy swee'hear' bu' you could 'ave done a li''le be''er a' 'he pool 'able faw wha' i've 'eard. Do i need 'o 'each you some 'ricks again, 'uh?", he chuckled.
"Anyway, 'ah is molly? 'eard 'ha' she 'erself picked up rela'ionships wi'h austria, 'uh?
'armonia edelstein, eh?
well, your skin and blister 'as some good 'aste in women, 'ha' much is 'rue.
wha' would i give 'o be be'ween 'hose hooters...", he said with an almost longing tone...
George Fortunato was known for a few things.
Being an eccentric, having a nose for good bets and being on of the most kinky people the world has ever seen.
"Wha's 'he name ov 'he o'her girl? fin? you in 'ouch wi'h 'er? would love 'o 'ave you over a' 'he pub so you can 'ell me 'he whole stawy!", he said.
As he was in England for a few weeks, the Cockney flame was completly oblivious,what had happened between the Forsters and the Edelstein, except their now legendary Capture the Flag Match and Harmonia and Mollys relationship that was featured at an article at LAW.
Suddenly Chelsea would hear something...not loud but it was there...music...singing...

[CaptainL]

Hearing Harmonia explain herself, Chelsea took a pause. Then, she listened a little closer to what the Austrian was saying. It felt absurd at first to even think about it - but she really was hearing what she thought she was hearing. For all her wealth and glamor, Harmonia wasn't a stuck-up brat with her head up her ass, like so many of the sorts that Chelsea hated. She knew when to stop mincing words, and she wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty - and Chelsea had to admit, she could appreciate that. Her posture eased, and she settled in against the couch, looking back at Harmonia with the hint of a smile.

Molly, too, could see it. She and Harmonia both knew that their sisters had more in common than they thought, or that they would ever want to admit - both were rebellious brawlers unafraid to speak their mind, and both refused to be anything less than in control with anything they did. But just the same, Harmonia was more like Finella than she seemed. Finella had a softer side, that was something Molly was privy to - but Harmonia, likewise, knew what to do when push came to shove. Molly had seen that at the Christmas party when she confronted Alexa, and she was seeing that now, as she made her case to Chelsea. Molly smiled to Harmonia, giggling a little to herself at her preemptive apology. "Oh, don't worry. I'm used to this by now - I've got it covered."

Chelsea followed Harmonia to the gym, all the while letting her words echo in her head. Whatever had started between herself and Finella, they were going to settle it in the ring. She cringed as she thought back on all her prior encounters with the Hellraiser - interfering in the tag match while Molly and Harmonia were in the ring; challenging her at the pub; calling her out after a match and goading her into attacking, just so that she could cut her low. Chelsea's hand coiled tighter into a shaky fist at the thought of it, but she also knew that what Harmonia said was true. All those times, their conflict had happened outside the bounds of the ring. And no matter how many times Finella had beaten, shown up, humiliated, and put down Chelsea, it was still up to this - one more match, just the two of them, one on one - to settle it all. Until then, nothing else would matter - not beyond the fact that Chelsea was emboldened more and more by all of her rival's acts, each one fueling her desire to see her put in her place.

Even now, as Molly and Harmonia left the scene giggling in each others' arms, Chelsea took a moment longer to take in her surroundings - the gym, larger than most she'd ever been to and just as well-stocked, lying open before her. She had it all to herself. She could go anywhere, do anything, and nothing could stop her. But there was more than that. It was better than that, she thought to herself as she stepped into the hall.

In her own way, this was striking a blow against Finella. Now, she was on her territory; her very presence here was a sign that she had edged her way into Finella's grounds. Breathing her air, walking on her floor. Chelsea knew that the thought of it would enrage the Wolf, but she couldn't do a thing about it - Harmonia had let her here. The model felt Chelsea had just as much of a reason to have this gym to herself as Finella did, and that meant the two were on equal footing. As she turned to the locker rooms to find some proper gym clothes, Chelsea smirked, satisfied with what she'd done. She was going to enjoy this.

Spoiler

She was halfway through changing when her phone started to ring from her bag, and, after she groaningly pulled a tank top over her head, she picked it up, holding it to her ear. "Wha' do ye want?" she grumbled - but when she recognized the voice coming through the other side as George Fortunato's, she paused, her eyes going wide. Chelsea had frequented the Wolf and the Bunny, pleased to find somewhere that reminded her of home in this accursed place. And, like anyone who spent enough time at the Wolf and the Bunny, Chelsea was acquainted with its owner - and he, too, had been acquainted with what had happened at the time of her last visit.

Chelsea's satisfaction at hearing George praise her defeat of Finella was quickly cut short when he reminded her of her own defeat. With a sigh, she rolled her eyes. "Oh, ye shut up. She got lucky is wha' 'appened, like. Ye nah I play a right gaffer game. I dun need any ellp from ye, er from anyone else neither!" Her teeth only clenched tighter as George went on to praise Molly on her luck in love. Here he was, calling her, yet once again it was Molly he wanted to talk about. Once again, her sister was taking the spotlight away from her.

"Avyer ever tried thinkin' wi' de 'ead that's ed yer shoulders?!" Chelsea barked out in frustration. Still, she sighed, her shoulders slumping as she looked off with a stern glare. When George asked about Chelsea's opponent, she spat the name out crudely and hoarsely, as though it was a curse to her. "Finella," she muttered. "And believe me, I'll be over thuz soon, like. I'll make se de story's straight about 'ow I kicked 'er arse sevun times ter next week, and I'd do it again-"

But then, Chelsea heard it - the sound of music coming from nearby. She didn't know what it was, or from where, but she stood still, her back straightening and stiffening. Her eyes stared out into the distance in shock. Chelsea wasn't alone - there was someone else out there. And George would only know this from how she had suddenly gone silent - as though it was this that drew all her attention.

[RedShinigami]

Harmonia meant everything she said.
She always did.
The austrian was sometimes a little bit emotional but she was'nt a lyer.
Everything she said to Chelsea was honest and Chelsea must have felt that as the Scouser became much more calm and friendly with her.
Harmonia was glad about it.
She liked Chelsea, she really did, not just because she was Mollys sister but because Harmonia got her on a personal level.
Even if the british Bunny was a little aggressive cheating and impatient, she also was proud and demanded to be respected, something Harmonia really could understand.

She felt a little bad, it almost felt as it she would betray her sister a little, but Harmonia decided to stay out of the bickering. Chelsea should have access to the Eagles nest as every family
member and Harmonia made sure that it would be that way.
As Chelseas eyes went wide the Austrian smiled.
"Use everything, we have bathing suits too! One from Maria should fit you.", she smiled.
"We also have steam rooms, a jacuzzi and a Sauna. Feel free.", she said and then walked up to the english girl.
"So Chelsea what do you say? No hard feelings anymore? At least against me?", the Austrian asked and stretched out her hand, hopefully for Chelsea to shake it.

George and Chelsea soon had become good friends, maybe he was one of if not the only friend, the British Bunny had. Both came from England, both loved pints and football and both were into wrestling.
George was a friend Chelsea could rely on, 100 percent. George seemed very fond of her and even the impatient , brash Chelsea seemed to have clicked with the eccentric eastender on a friendly level, helped by the fact they roughly were the same age and shared same interests.
Oi, oi no need 'o ge' angry love! 'ell you wha', why don'' you come over 'his evening, alone an' we 'ave a few? so you 'ell me wha' 'append 'ere an' i 'ell you 'he newes' malarkey abou' good old england. Swee'hear'? oi, cheals, you 'here? don'' ignawe me!, George said.


After they left to go for a long winter walk,Molly and Harmonia had stopped at a cute little maid cafe to take a coffee but Molly would soon recognize how Harmonia stared down on her coffee and the delicious looking strawberry cake without taking any of them and instead looking concerned.

Everything Harmonia said made Chelsea's eyes grow wider. She could hardly believe she was really making an offer like this; everything about it seemed too good to be true! This was without a doubt the most well-stocked gym Chelsea had ever set foot in, and now she was being given free reign of the whole place. She didn't even need to pay. When she took Harmonia's hand and shook it, her grasp was a bit limp, and she stared off into the distance. It wasn't that she was reluctant - far from it, in fact. Rather, Chelsea was left speechless with all that had been opened to her. But she shook all the same, nodding her head. She couldn't wait to get started. "Yeah. Nah 'ard feelings..."

But then, Chelsea proceeded inside, and partway through her call with George, her attention was drawn to the music playing from deeper into the room. The Eastender kept prattling along, but despite all he had to offer, Chelsea paid it no heed. Something was drawing her toward the source of the sound, be it curiosity, anxiety, or some other feeling she didn't even know what to call. One thing stuck out to her - she was supposed to be the only one here. Who was this? It could have been any one of the many denizens of the Eagles' Nest, but one possibility stayed at the front of her mind: Finella.

The mere possibility made the hairs rise on Chelsea's back - even if she didn't know for sure, the fact it could be her was enough. If she was there, then the Englishwoman couldn't be at ease. If she was...then Chelsea's victory hadn't been a victory at all. She hadn't staked her claim to the Eagles' Nest for herself. She'd still have to assert her dominance against her most hated of rivals - and what Chelsea hated the most to admit, after all she'd been through, she wasn't sure if she could do it.

The growing confusion in George's voice brought Chelsea back to the present, and she shook her head. No, what was she saying? Karl had already said as much; Finella was out with that idiot friend of hers, making fools of themselves as usual. She must've just been imagining things. Clearing her throat, she stood up a little straighter and turned to the door. "Sorry 'bout dat," she explained, "but I've got uvver things ter attend ter ternight. I'll get back ter ye at a better time...and dis time, keep yer 'ands ter yoself if ye wanna keep dem, like."

After hanging up the phone, Chelsea took a deep breath and proceeded out onto the floor of the gym. Maybe some time in that sauna would do her well. She was much too tense...

Meanwhile, Harmonia and Molly had found a pleasant little cafe, and Molly was already settling herself into a comfortable chair. She took a sip of the tea she'd ordered and looked around, admiring the carefully arranged decor that recalled a Victorian parlor. "Maid cafes are a lot of fun," she said. "I really wish they had them back home...maybe some day." When she set down her teacup, though, Molly noticed the sullen look on Harmonia's face, and she realized the cake on her plate hadn't been touched, even when Molly was more than halfway through hers. At once, her smile dropped into a frown, and she scooted closer, leaning toward her girlfriend. "Um...Moni? Are you all right? You're not even eating your cake..."
