Background Music: Solider Side - System Of A Down
Amber sat back on her heels as her arms took her weight, eyes looking at her intended target the instructions ringing in her ears even as she remembers training again.
“It doesn’t matter how many times you fall down recruit pick your ass back up, set your eyes on your goal and you will succeed you will find a way! NOW MOVE YOUR ASS!”
Amber pushed from the climbing wall up towards the elusive handhold weight separating from the world entirely as both hands reached up fingers scraping the hand hold chalk pushing off into the air before she felt herself falling eyes widening as her grip wasn’t quite there.
The snap of the safety rope caught her mid-air and she was still looking at the wall as her form was slowly lowered.
“FUCK!”
She closed her eyes and sat on the floor rubbing at her face before that familiar face of Diaz poked up from just off to the side.
“’Ey Cookie, c’mon you’re letting the side down.”
She covered the back of her head and sighed.
“Fuuuuuuck off man”
She bounced back up to her feet as the guy who was handling the rope seemed to get the message and stopped giving her advice she wasn’t really listening to.
There was Diaz again laughing as he piped up.
“You can do it show that inanimate wall whose boss! Fuck it up!”
Amber looked over her shoulder to see Diaz wave form his comfortable perch having declined the climbing, Amber thought it’d be a good way to blow off steam and had ended up getting more aggravated.
But it beat being at home and it beat being neck deep in beer.
She started to climb again as memories pulled her back to another wall another climb and this time on a barer rock face in baking sun where she sat atop a mountain looking over the view.
“Why Join the Army Ambs?”
Her best friend Heather, had been questioning the decision since she announced it to her, probing Amber’s choices.
“Is it because of Tom?”
Amber shook her head with a snort.
“Hardly H, I’m just I dunno I don’t think there’s anythin’ for me here, not since Dad died. Jason tried for the military and I haven’t seen him since. hon I just feel like I’d be, doing right by them and by myself. Do somethin’ worthwhile and not just… sit here, and this has fuck all to do with Tom.”
Heather made a noise that approximated something between a tut and a pig squeal and just for a moment Amber wondered if she pushed Heather off the cliff if anyone would find the body.
“Amb, I dunno why you’re doin’ this but you best come back you hear?”
Back on the hand hold she’d narrowly missed earlier Amber managed a small smirk even as she muttered to herself.
“Nothin’ to go back to H, gotta go forwards”
Amber made the leap again.
We fade in on Amber at the somewhat famous Bunker Hill, her features in stark contrast to the Bunker hill monument behind her as she turns slowly and smirks.
“So, here we are, un the fight I said would happen, the Daughter of Kane, the heir apparent against me the what was the phrase? Jack Boot Barbie, You missed out on making me tap last time around looks like you’re going to get your chance this time or maybe You’ll be kissing canvas face down in the conflict we share, c’mon fuckface you know as much as I do this is what we both want.”
She shook her head.
“I told you already Kaniwell you’re gonna have to make me hail, make me scream, make me –admit- you’re the one and I promise you Dawn I am not going to make that fucking easy in fact I’m pretty damn straight that I’m going to bathe in your blood. In some way shape or form.”
She grins.
“That’s right HalliKane I’m gonna make you take after your daddy one way or another, A Blood Goddess is going to be born, and it’s going to be you or me. Who is going to be first?”
She laughs a bit to herself. And shake her head.
“You promised me justice, you promised me a fight so I’m going to take it from you. Every. Fucking. Inch. Dawn Halliwell , Dawn Kane this isn’t about playing spoiler or even being a bitch for the sake of it this is about being the fucking best at what I fucking do.”
She nods.
“This? This is our Ascendancy, or time and so there’ll be no quarter asked and none fucking given, I don’t want platitudes I don’t want excuses but from what I’ve seen? You’re short on giving those out, what I want is every inch of your fucking being.”
Amber stands a little taller shoulders squaring as she looks into the camera.
“So before we face off for Pride, for glory and because just fucking want to I want you to realise that if I win I want three little words from you.”
She smirks deeply.
“ALL. BLOODY. HAIL.”
Amber sat back on her heels as her arms took her weight, eyes looking at her intended target the instructions ringing in her ears even as she remembers training again.
