Edge didn't answer her and that was enough of an answer for her.  "Well, just for your information-Jami did not cheat on Jeff, Lita did not cheat on Matt and I did not cheat on you!  And I don't care if you don't believe me. It's the truth."  Tasha stated in a heated rush. 

 

Edge opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out.  Tasha looked up at him expectantedly.  "Ya know, we chose Shane's faction because he ASKED us.  You guys didn't seem to want anything to do with us.  And I honestly can't say that we are sorry we aren't in the same faction as y'all.   You've done nothing but take us for granted lately.  You just assumed we would always be at your beck and call.  But you were wrong.  We may love you...but we are not your slaves!"  Tasha said with impatience. 

 

She started to walk away but Edge grabbed her by the arm and yanked her back around to face him.  "Ow...you're hurting me!"  Tasha gasped as he applied pressure to her arm.  "Don't use that tone with me." he growled. 

 

Tasha used her other hand to shove Edge back from her.  Edge released his grip on her upper arm.  Tasha turned to walk away but this time Edge grabbed her by the hair.  Once again Tasha yelped in pain. 

 

Edge turned her so her face was just inches from his.  "You don't turn away from me." he seethed at her. 

 

Tasha quickly brought her knee up and nailed him inbetween the legs.  Edge released his hold on her hair and leaned over.  Tasha shoved him hard, and he fell onto the ground. 

 

"Touch me like that again and I swear on your safety that I'll break each of your fingers individually, then bend them backwards so they can't heal! I've been through enough shit in my life and I'm not about to let the likes of you make it any worse." Tasha said, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. 

 

Edge looked up at her, shocked at his own actions.  "Tasha, baby..." Edge started to apologize but Tasha cut him off.  "Save it.I guess people can't leave their persona in the ring"" and with that she took off towards the women's locker room.

***

When Tasha reached the locker room she found Shane McMahon pacing outside the door.  When he spotted Tasha he looked towards the locker room and back again, looking confused.  He shrugged his shoulders and smiled at her. 

 

"Hey Tasha, I was just getting ready to go in and talk to you three." Shane said.  "Okay, so come on in.  Why are you out here freaking out?"  Tasha asked. 

 

"'Cause you three aren't going to be happy with what I have to tell you."  Shane admitted.  "Okay, what gives?" Tasha asked curiously. 

 

"well, Vince, he well, he wants you three to accompany me to the stage tonight."  Shane paused.  "What's so bad about that?" Tasha asked. 

 

"Well, it's during a six person tag team match.  Jeff, Matt and Edge are up against Scottie2Hottie, Shane Helms and RVD." Shane said.  "Damn, this is definately not a good time for this." Tasha stated and Shane nodded. 

 

"I'm sorry. I tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen.  All you three have to do is stand there and look frustrated or upset or whatever."  Shane promised.  Tasha nodded.  "I suppose I can tell Jami and Lita for you...save you from a lashing from them.  I'll see you in a few." Tasha sighed.

***

Jeff, Matt and Edge were distracted in teh ring where the match was.  Shane McMahon's music had hit the speakers and Shane McMahon strutted out onto the stage.  Right behind him were Tasha, Lita and Jami. 

 

They could hear the commentary going on between the King and J.R.  "Look! We have puppies!" the King eagerly shouted.  "I don't know about you King, but those three ladies dont' look all that happy to be out here." J.R. pointed out.
