(Clarisse is in a penetentiary, her first day of a really long term, and she is right now trapped in the corner of the prison yard, surrounded by a couple of big burly inmates)
"Do you see what I am seeing Mark? It seems that we have got some fresh meat here..." Both men snickered at the cowering, trembling snow-haired woman, scared out of her wits.
"We are gonna have a looot of fun with you, you know? You will be a completely new woman by the time you get out...If you get out, that is..Hehehe..." Both inmates eyed her like predators and started to get closer towards her, as she shriveled up against the corner..
Ms. Bennett?
They get closer, arms extended....
Ms. Bennnett ?
Their faces are stricken with mailcious intent, inching nearer and nearer to a now teary-eyed young woman...
Ms. Benett !
Clarisse's eyelids snapped open! A sweat ran down the side of her head, heart beating rapidly. She took a moment to catch her breath and look around.
"Your match is about to start now, your opponent is in the middle of her entrance. So, better get warmed up" The snow-haired woman, seated on a couch inside one of the fan tunnels, which was chosen for her to enter the arena, looked up to see a crew member, who had snapped her out of a rather bad dream.
"Thank you for that. I will go and get prepped up" Clarisse got up and offered her a nod before getting to the mouth of the tunnel, seeing her opponent just conclude her entrance. Mindy Midnight. An actress-turned-wrestler, defying the convertional path, which was the reverse of this. Clarisse had gotten a few glimpses of her on TV and she was pretty good at her craft and now she was going to fight her in a right, that too with a gruelling stipulation, which almost makes it as if they both would fight each other thrice tonight for that winner.
Soon, it would be her turn and as expected, all the lights were dimmed, even the ring spotlights, and the sound was cut off, which was Clarisse's cue to make her entry. Having practiced walking this route, numerous times since her advent to LAW, considerind her being averse to large crowds, this path was now imprinted in her muscle memory and she walked down without missing a step or colliding with someone, in a practiced ease.
Leaping over the barricade, Clarisse landed on the other side with a dull thud, and considering the crowd was still blind, no one had or would have a clue about her presence until she got into the ring. A sea commotion, perplexed shouts and whispers all fell into Clarisse's ears, sensing that the audience might be perplexed by the sudden absence of lights and sounds.
Finally, the arena would get illuminated as usual, only this time, the peopel would see another person in the ring apart from Mindy Midnight — Clarisse Bennett, her opponent tonight. With nothing giving away from her face or languid posture, Clarisse would adjust her gloves and roll her shoulders, her eyes gazing at the empty expanse of the mat, after having given a once-over of the actress....
