Sitting in the room after coming back from a short trip out to see what Amsterdam has, Seleana Zdunich goes over when he has to go for any appearances or to the arena. As she does this, her adopted son, Elijah, comes into the room and sits down next to her, his adopted sister, Aurora. As usual, Elijah says very little but Seleana notices the look on his face and turns to face him.
Seleana Zdunich: Elijah? What is wrong, Älskling?
Elijah looks down in shame, Aurora sighs sadly.
Aurora Zdunich: He heard what that Cassie woman said on the last show. It scared him.
Seleana nods knowingly.
Seleana Zdunich: Are you afraid they will take you away or that you ill be hit?
Elijh looks up at her, tears streaming down his face.
Elijah Zdunich: Why did you hit her?
Seleana looks at him in shocked silence. She looks down, the same way that he just did.
Seleana Zdunich: Jag…
She trails off, searching fir the words to explain things to her children.
Seleana Zdunich: I…
She continues searching for the right words to say and they refuse to find their way to the front of her mind. Aurora sits there looking on, almost seemingly to root her mother on while Elijah just sits where he is, looking afraid and almost horrified at having even asked the question. Seleana swallows hard and looks up.
Seleana Zdunich: The first time I hit Cassie, I did not mean to hit her. I was trying to hit Mercedes Vargas. This was an error as well even though I know some would say she deserved it, I should not have done that. I was wrong to do it.
She looks down again and nods to herself again before looking back up.
Seleana Zdunich: I know my job involves such things but when serving as the referee you are expected to refrain from that activity. I lost control and not only did I violate what a referee is supposed to do, I hit the wrong person who had done nothing to deserve it. I failed to do the job of referee and then I made it worse when I tried to explain what happened.
She exhales heavily again, a deep sadness exuding from every fiber of her being.
Seleana Zdunich: I know Cassie was upset. I know she was angry and I know I had done her wrong. I try not to let it…
She shakes her head, the shame washing over her in earnest.
Seleana Zdunich: I lost control again when she talk about you.
She bites her lip, trying to stop herself from just losing it completely
Seleana Zdunich: It was wrong of me and now I have made it worse because I hurt her.
She lets out a breath and takes a deep one, allowing herself a few minutes to keep her composure. As she goes through everything, Seleana draws another sharp breath and nods to herself, another thought stepping into the conversation in her head.
Seleana Zdunich: It remind me of when Christina was the referee between Alexandra and I…
Elijah and Aurora both look on in shock, their eyes going wide and p;racticlly bugging out of their heads. Seeing this, Seleana nods.
Seleana Zdunich: Ja, I hit Christina trying to hit Alexandra.
She shakes her head again at the memory.
Seleana Zdunich: We were not together at the time. .
Knowing this sounds bad regardless, the Swedish woman takes a deep breath and looks into her children’s eyes.
Seleana Zdunich: Christina and I were married but we were not both with Alexandra yet. I have hit what I was aiming for before but that time, I did not. It was like this time with Cassie the first time.
Bth children stare at their mother in utter astonishment. Seleana nods to them again.
Seleana Zdunich: Alexandra was “the other woman” with Christina. They had not admitted this yet. The match was based on rumors that had been said by others. It was just supposed to be regular competition but I lost control and tried to hit Alexandra.
Her eyes moisten again and Selean tries to shake the tears away.
Seleana Zdunich: We have conversation and work out after.
She sniffles, her children nodding slightly.
Seleana Zdunich: I love Christina. I love Alexandra. I do not ever want to think of either of them like that again. I do not want to hurt either of them ever again.
She looks back to the children.
Seleana Zdunich: I love you both. I just want protect you. I never want enanger you. I…
She shakes her head and starts sobbing uncontrollably.
Seleana Zdunich: I fail you…
Aurora grabs onto her mother, embracing her tightly, Elijah following suit immediately. Seleana hugs them both tightly.
Seleana Zdunich: Jag älskar vår familj!
Aurora nods into her mother’s chest.
Aurora Zdunich: We love you too, Mommy!
Elijah hugs her tightly, crying as well.
Elijah Zdunich: I’m sorry!
Seleana shakes her head, wiping away the tears even as she tries to maintain the embrace oif her children.
Seleana Zdunich: No, you do nothing wrong, Elijah. You ask questions when something bother you. It is alright. I love you. You deserve better than what I give.
Aurora holds both of them as they cry anew
Seleana Zdunich: I never send you away. You are home with us.
Elijah clutches on even more fiercely.
Elijah Zdunich: I love you, Mom.
Aurora smiles.
Aurora Zdunich: We love you, E.
The three sit there holding onto each other, letting the tears flow as they will knowing they’re needed.

The camera finds Seleana standing by herself near the water outside the hotel. Wearing an ensemble of an SCW t-shirt, blue jeans and Nikes, she nods as her long blonde hair casecades over her shoulders.
Seleana Zdunich: It has been an interesting few weeks, ja?
She nods slightly, looking out across the water.
Seleana Zdunich: Two weeks ago, we were in Stockholm and I was excited as for it. My home coun try, my family was to be there and while, I was not booked to wrestle on the show, I was entrusted with a surprise for it.
She almost laughs ironically at herself.
Seleana Zdunich: That went well, ja?
She looks back to the camera
Seleana Zdunich: I was appointed as special guest referee for Mercedes Vargas and Cassie Wolfe.
She exhales exasperatedly, quite visibly upset with herself.
Seleana Zdunich: This should have been an easy assignment. Cassie's matches have nothing from her that make them extra ordinary for the official. Mercedes is usually focused on winning even if she is a special word, it is a different kind of thing than…
Seleana shakes her head.
Seleana Zdunich: It was an easy and simple assignment…
She looks back up to the camera again.
Seleana Zdunich: And I fuck up, ja?
She nods absently to herself.
Seleana Zdunich: I let Mercedes get to me and when she say magic words, I try to punch her out for it.
Looking up to the sky, Seleana looks like she almost wants to slap herself.
Seleana Zdunich: I should not have let that happen, but I did and that meant i punch out Cassie and not Mercedes because I fuck that up twice in one shot.
She closes her eyes, allowing thre shame to wash over her as she stands there with the camera capturing everything.
Seleana Zdunich: Jag sket i det blå skåpet.
She opens her eyes and looks into the camera again.
Seleana Zdunich: Then last week, we go to Copenhagen, Denmark. I start to explain myself.
She shakes her head in disapproval and disappointment with herself.
Seleana Zdunich: I should know it would go bad and stop, ja?
Her hand balls into a fist and she pounds it against her thigh in frustration.
Seleana Zdunich: Cassie comes out and I let her get to me as well.
She shakes her head again.
Seleana Zdunich: Jag sket i det blå skåpet igen.
She looks away from the camera, and exhales heavily.
Seleana Zdunich: I let it go too far and punch Cassie again.
she looks down and then back into the camera.
Seleana Zdunich: Now there is no making that right, ja?
She nods, her eyes flashing knowingly, sadly.
Seleana Zdunich: Who know what will happen now?
She shakes her head at herself.
Seleana Zdunich: So I am scheduled for the show in the Ziggo Dome against Candy and normally I would be excited because of the kind of person Candy is.
She nods sadly, almost like she's afraid of what might be coming.
Seleana Zdunich: Candy is nice, I do not want to hurt her like I do Cassie.
She nods and turns around, clearly still upset with herself.
Seleana Zdunich: I do not want to hurt anyone but, I have shown lately that I am capable of horrible things.
Taking a deep breath, she looks back into the camera.
Seleana Zdunich: Candy, we will fight and I can only hope it goes like it should. We tear the house down and show the world how we do with no more added.
She nods.
Seleana Zdunich: I will see you there, ja?
