Chapter 22

Tasha stretched before her match as she listened to Bradshaw and Ivory being seperately announced. Then Tasha heard the B.L.A.D.E. music start up and she bounced out onto the ramp.

Tasha was dressed in pleather pants that had lightening bolts cut out of the material showing bit and parts of skin. She also wore a blue halter top that matched the blue color in her hair, which was pulled back into a braid.

Tasha entered the ring and listened to Austin's music begin to play. Austin stomped into the ring and did his usual turnbuckle poses. Tasha stood outside on the corner as Austin stared down Ivory and Bradshaw.

Finally the match began with Austin taking Bradshaw to town. It was a decent match with blows being exchanged between each of them. Taking turns dominating each other.

Tasha stood cheering for Austin. Occassionally shooting a dirty look at Ivory. Everytime Ivory began to get in the ring, Tasha would do the same. Bradshaw put Austin into a hold and dragged him over to where Ivory stood. Ivory started to say something to Austin and then she slapped him.

Tasha jumped off the ring apron and ran around the ring to where Ivory was. She pulled Ivory off the ring and began to give her a few rights to the face. Then there was a hair tugging war with the women rolling on the floor.

Bradshaw rolled out of the ring and pulled Tasha off of Ivory. He pushed Tasha face first into a barricade. Tasha held her face as Austin rolled out of the ring and rammed Bradshaw into the steel steps. Tasha jumped out of the way as Austin rolled Bradshaw back into the ring. He shot one look at Tasha that said, 'take care of her.'

Tasha speared Ivory as she stood watching the match. Ivory gasped as Tasha picked her up and drilled her onto the floor. Tasha pulled her up and rammed her into the steel steps a few times. Finally Ivory lay in a lump on the ground, and Tasha stood seething over her.

Before she could do anything else she felt arms grab her around the waist and pull her away. She elbowed whoever held her and they instantly released the grip. Tasha turned and faced Edge. She could see by the Tita-tron that Austin had just stunned Bradshaw, so she quickly rolled into the ring as Austin got the three count. Edge rolled in after her. But before he could say a word, Austin stunned him too.

As Austin celebrated Tasha looked confused as she first stared at Austin and at a motionless Edge. Finally she knelt by Edge and shook him a little bit to see if he was conscious. Austin grabbed her by the arm.

"What the hell are you doing?" Austin asked her. "I was just checking on him, that's all. No big deal." Tasha cried as Edge remained motionless on the ground. "I did what I had to do. And now you have to come with me." Austin told her, picking her up and taking her out of the ring.

Backstage he sat her down. "How much of that was storyline?" he asked her. Tasha shrugged. "Don't shrug at me. you were honestly worried about him, weren't you?" he asked. "Yeah..maybe." Tasha finally answered. "I swear...women are confusing." Austin mumbled as he walked away.
