THE RISE OF AN ANGEL: PART TWO
PROLOGUE: THE BAIN OF MY EXISTENCE
Becoming the World Champion had its perks but also its drawbacks. Sienna Swann knew the minute she won the Championship, Laura would have her traveling around the globe showing off the title with every photo opportunity, interview and Magazine cover she could. Sienna also had to balance her personal life which meant getting close with her mother again, building the relationship and doing the best she could to control her urges, the vices which have times led to some major mistakes and almost cost her the career she worked so hard for. Amanda Swann was a part of her life now, but it was clear as day, after the yacht visit with Steve Bain, Sienna had not been the same. Even with an interview earlier, she came out and talked about the dark side of the modelling industry. Lancelot Crane’s antics and his artistic view petrified Jennifer Helms….
And Sienna just watched when even Willow Wilkes who has been a woman who has push limits was feeling a bit uncomfortable. Sienna had been cold and numb to it all. The true test was coming, with Allistaire Allocco the first challenger to her World Championship, vogue wanted to get her Cover Story done but first it was about taking some new updated pictures to put in the magazine.
Los Angeles, CA
9.3.18
Sienna sat in the limousine parked outside of the Vogue headquarters. Everything was set up for her photoshoot with the World Championship. She held it on her lap. Her long blonde hair hung down, wearing pleather white pants, black open toed heels and matching halter top, her nails polished a glossy color. Laura sat in the limo with her along with the Truelove Twins who were in matching black pants, red halter tops with their nails polished black and hair hanging down. Laura was in a blue business suit, white blouse and matching peep toe pumps, her nails polished red. Her blue eyes glared over at her Crown Jewel….
Laura: “Are you ready champ? This is the biggest shoot that Vogue has ever done, there are millions of dollars in marketing at stake here. The first time a Fashion Model who is active has EVER won the World Championship in the SCW. You have not only reached the top of the SCW, you have made history, darling. This is what you’ve been waiting for and let’s forget about what is going on with these stupid decisions and Allistaire Allocco or the fact the Twins didn’t get a tag team title match. Instead, let us all concentrate on the here and the now. You earned this, all of it. The cover stories, the accolades, everything that we had thought would go our way finally did. I am so proud of you Sienna, it is time to make this about US, the Beauty Factory.”
Sienna: “Is this about us? Or about Vogue?”
Laura: “Darling, we had this discussion already. I understand how much the night upset you but think of the positives which came from all of this? You became the highest grossing model in the entire industry. We were able to preserve and swerve all the negative press, most of it never leaked, see? I kept my promise and with the formation of the Beauty Factory, you as it’s Crown Jewel and World Champion, it’s finally complete and to think two years ago I found you sneaking into a Fashion Gala where no one wanted to see you there and look now? Silas Mason didn’t do this, neither did anyone else you associated with. This was our combined power. Yes, I made some mistakes along the way, but we rectified them. Now you get to enjoy the spoils. You can finally move out of Regan’s home and buy yourself a mansion if you want. A new car and get rid of that Mini Cooper. You made it and no one, not Mr. D, his daughters, Syren, Kennedy Street, Selena frost or this Allistaire Allocco fellow is going to change that. The Twins will be World Tag Team Champions, I have you as THE World Champion. Yes, Sienna….. life is good. Steve is happy, he is writing checks left and right….”
Sienna: “I’m sure he is.”
The air of sarcasm from the beautiful Angel was not lost on Laura, the fashion mogul shakes her head a little….
Laura: “Alright, look, it’s obvious you are not sharing the same enthusiasm I am here, I need you to work with me, darling. You are getting caught up with the how and not the why. We all have made sacrifices here to get to this point, right?”
Reluctantly, Sienna nods….
Sienna: “Yes, you are right.”
Laura: “I’m sorry that you felt humiliated by Steve Bain, he’s a man who has to abuse his power, that is all. He needs to feel superior, that’s the way he does business. You cannot allow it to fester, it’s the past. You’re the champion now, look down at the belt sitting on your lap. Look at it and what do you see?’
Sienna: “My reflection.”
Laura: “No, a World Heavenly Champion, that is what I see. Sienna, the world is your oyster and this man Mr. D chose doesn’t belong in the same ring with you. Look what you did to Kennedy Street? TWICE you defeated her darling, TWICE and now she will get a rematch probably in 2020 like every other former champion and you will still be holding the title then as well. This is about us now, this is about your climb back to the very top, the Ascension of the Angel. Can you imagine the story when told? Vogue? Bazaar? Victoria Secrets? The SCW? You are in such high demand with the Twins, Jennifer Helms, Willow, Ricky Octavius and Jason King? Darling, tell me that doesn’t bring a smile to your face?”
Sienna: “It does.”
Laura: “Excellent. So why don’t we go in there like Champions and look Steve Bain in the face and show him why his investment while coming at a hefty price, it’s what is best for Vogue? They will be the first magazine to feature the SCW World Champion.”
Sienna: “Okay, I can do that.”
Laura smiles patting her Heavenly Angel on the knee…
Laura: “However I do have one question though.”
The Angel doesn’t say anything, instead she just arches her eyebrow…..
Laura: “What happened yesterday with Jennifer at the photo shoot?”
Sienna: “What do you think happened? It was a Lancelot Crane shoot. What did you expect Laura? She was picked out of like sixty girls and he sent them all away, only willow and I watched. Why? Was she shaken up?”
Laura: “Yes. Last, I recall you are supposed to watch over her.”
Sienna: “I did.”
Laura: “You did? Sienna, he stripped an eighteen-year-old girl naked and painted her like she was a fucking Picasso.”
The twins contain their laughter, the thought of that did put a smile on their faces but they could sense the tension between the two women….
Sienna: “Are you serious here Laura? You sent her there, you wanted Jennifer to get the shoot, you sent her there not me. Everyone knows that Crane is an artistic maniac who believes our bodies are made for the camera. She didn’t go through anything that I didn’t go through.”
Laura: “She’s new to this Sienna. We have to ease her in.”
Sienna: “Then maybe you shouldn’t have signed her behind Regan and David’s back to appease Steve (Bain) when she clearly was NOT ready for this.”
Laura seems confused at the hostility Sienna is showing over Jennifer. They had both buried the hatchet the night of the Hall of Fame. Both have been very close, Sienna even promised Regan she would look over her daughter so for Laura to see Sienna acting this way worried her, this was not the way Sienna usually acted…..
Laura: “Is there something going on that I should know about?”
Sienna: “No, there isn’t. You sent her there, she was whining and crying, it changed quickly when I told her flat out that she needed to understand the business. Was I a little harsh, maybe but I went through the same thing and there was no one there to protect me.”
Laura: “You know how this business is darling.”
Sienna: “Yeah, I do. Next time, why don’t you send her to the yacht.”
Laura: “Sienna!?”
That slipped from the mouth of the Heavenly Angel. Even she caught herself slipping, opening the door and not even waiting for the chauffeur, Sienna steps out of the limousine while the Twins turn to Laura….
Laura: “I want you to watch her carefully.”
London: “Of course Ms. Steinbeck. Just give her a break, she’s been going through a lot lately and there is obviously a reason. She will be okay, we need to relate.”
Paris: “The pressure is on, we all know how it can come down so hard on anyone. We will make sure she’s okay.”
Laura: “Good, we finally made it, the last thing I want is for this to implode. Past. Present. Future has run its course, those semblances has turned to Regan and her family, Josh Hudson and his own dreams. That is why I created this. To protect the foundation, we built.”
London: “Don’t worry Ms. Steinbeck.”
Paris: “We know what to do.”
Laura: “Good.”
The Twins and Laura step out of the limo this time with help from the Limo Driver. They make their way into Vogue Headquarters where Sienna is already inside getting attention from the employees and other customers there, holding the World Championship, this brings a smile to Laura’s face, leading her Champion to the elevator with armed security, heading to the top floor. Once there, they arrive to the site of the photo shoot. There is none other than Steve Bain in a grey suit and white shirt, the photographers, make-up artists and others are there. Sienna sighs then smile, putting on her face….
Steve: “There she is, our World Champion! The timing couldn’t have been any better, I will tell you. It was almost like you knew that this was going to make the Vogue cover extra special and the story? Oh, Sienna. I underestimated you and I will admit, I could have done something real stupid and broken our contract and yet you have restored my faith in this venture we signed up for. Laura…. Laura…..come here!”
Laura smiles and hugs Steve, he gives her a nice tight squeeze before kissing her on the cheek…..
Steve: “This is what we have been waiting for, you came through with your promise and that makes me a very happy man and you with Sienna very well-off wealthy people. This magazine will blow the roof off the publication, all I can see is how many copies we are going to sell. We need to celebrate, I enjoyed our time at the yacht Sienna, I feel like we have connected there. Don’t you?”
Reluctantly Sienna forces a smile and nods….
Sienna: “Yes of course.”
Steve: “Ah, see? I knew you enjoyed yourself so how about we do it again? We’ll have an exclusive, release party and unveiling of the new cover in a few weeks, what do you ladies say?”
Laura: “That sounds wonderful darling, there is nothing I would enjoy more than to celebrate this momentous occasion with you and the Vogue staff, my Beauty Factory.”
Steve: “Laura, you impress me again. So Sienna, just head over to wardrobe and they will take care of you from there, if you don’t mind, may I have a word with you first? In private?”
Sienna: “Yes, of course.”
Steve: “Please, I’ll have her back shortly.”
Laura looked a bit worried, she though nodded and allowed her Crowning Jewel to leave with Steve Bain, the Twins were about to follow but Laura held them back. Steve brought Sienna into his office and closed the door, he starts to clap….
Steve: “Bravo. I didn’t know if I made the right decision signing you. I thought the great and beautiful Sienna Swann was more trouble than she was worth. I remember the conversation we had at my yacht, not long before you headed up to Ontario and won your match and then turned around and beat that gorgeous Diva for the title. Color me impressed. I want to commend you on what you have done, it will boost the magazine sales and triple them which tells me you care about Steve Bain and Vogue especially. Did my words resonate? Was it I that inspired you after our dinner which I feel went extremely well? I figured we had to lay some groundwork and guidelines, correct?”
Sienna: “Yes, it helped a lot. It opened my eyes.”
Steve: “Good, I wanted to have this private conversation to let you know that I was wrong about you and I am man enough to admit it when I make a mistake. You are worth every penny and more. Sienna, we are going to make a lot of money together and you will never have to worry about being the face of fashion again until that next gal steps up and I think it will be Jennifer, that though is years away. So, can we now? Move forward, like Laura, you are MY star and I treat MY star with the best.”
Sienna wanted to tell him to piss off, she would love to jump in the air and knee him in the face, but she knew that was not option. This was about her career, reputation and most of all press. Sienna had already accepted she had sold her soul to the devil, it had affected her mentally but no matter what moving forward, she needed to think less about herself and more about the Beauty Factory….
Sienna: “Yes, I will be honored to be your star.”
Steve: “That’s my girl. Come here and lets hug.”
Sienna was well aware and fully expected to be awkward. She hugged him, feeling his hand slipping down her back. She tensed up, ready to react, instead relaxed herself and allowed him to cop a feel. She hated every minute of it, he was a disgusting pig but all that kept racing through her mind was Vogue, Laura and Opportunity. He finally let’s go…..
Steve: “You are damn gorgeous, the most beautiful woman in the world. Now come, let’s get you dressed up for that shoot, I am super excited about it. We’ll have to do dinner again sometime, talk business, the world is in your hands, Ms. Swann.”
He smiles giving Sienna the creeps. He turns and opens the door, allowing her to step out. She stands outside, heading toward the wardrobe when Laura stops her….
Laura: “Everything alright?”
Sienna: “Yes Laura, I’m not going to ruin this for anyone.”
Laura was about to say another word, but Sienna didn’t want to hear it and instead just continued to make her way down the hall. Steve walks up behind Laura and places his arm around her shoulder…..
Steve: “She is still hesitant. Make her believe, Laura. She’s OUR star now.”
Laura: “I will darling, I will.”
The Truelove Twins pay attention from a distance, they both look at one another and shake their heads. For Sienna it was all part of the process, she knew what she would be in for and the last time she almost lost the contract. As World champion, she needed to keep her stability…..
And senses….
Without making any mistakes.
THE SPONSOR
It came as a surprise to Amanda Swann when Chris Cannon showed up at the AA meeting to sponsor and support her daughter, Sienna. No one saw it coming especially her for everything that had been going on. Since Rise to Greatness, Sienna had let it be known she had an affection for Chris. Many will remember her antics on Kelcey Wallace’s last night in the SCW where she defeated Blake Mason. That night while she slept, Sienna made her move on Chris and tried to seduce him, much to her dismay he didn’t fall for it and decided to walk away instead leaving more questions than answers for Sienna who at the time was engaged to Jacob Knight. After that relationship dissolved, Sienna found herself in an odd situation with the unlikeliest of sorts, Ikiro Yoshida that suddenly without even notice turned into more than just another crush, a relationship which started to blossom behind the scenes until it was confirmed Yoshida’s family was still alive and well which in many ways crushed Sienna and caused for her to distance herself from the Japanese man who had without warning taken her heart and now stepping on it or so she thought. At the SCW Hall of Fame ceremony right before, Ikiro showed up to her room and something took over Sienna’s inhibitions, she became sexual with Ikiro and finally slept with him for the first time.
It felt right.
That was until Chris Cannon decided to announce his return to the ring and everything changed. Sienna couldn’t help herself, Chris had this effect on her she couldn’t explain. She was obvious in her affection to him both on the Social Media and on live TV. There were many who were watching especially Kelcey.
Sienna didn’t care.
With her frame of mind and now as the World Champion, Sienna found herself being challenged by Allistaire Allocco, she didn’t need any distractions which kept Laura paranoid, on her toes making sure her World Champion didn’t fall victim to what had been happening.
Los Angeles, CA.
9.3.18
Later that Day
The SCW was soon to be in Chicago for the PPV, there were many matches which were strangely booked. Sienna didn’t think Allocco deserved another shot at the belt, but she didn’t care either way, the angel planned to come out on top. Laura though was cautious. After the Vogue shoot, the Crane incident and Sienna’s urge to follow Chris around, she had to make sure to keep her in check. There was also Ikiro which Sienna now was confused about.
She sat outside, sitting at the Pier in Santa Monica. Her hair hanging down, jeans, a black halter top and matching sandals, her nails polished black, not usually a color she wore but because of her photoshoots, she kept the color on. She waited until Ikiro Yoshida walked up with flowers in his hands, he was in jeans, a Polo shirt and loafers, sitting next to Sienna….
Ikiro: “I missed you.”
Sienna: “It has been a bit busy for me sweetie and I feel like I owe you an explanation for a few things, please sit down.”
She taps on the bench, Ikiro takes a seat and smiles, handing her the flowers, she takes them, smells the aroma that beings her to a little level of peace. Sienna had been busy but more importantly she had been avoiding Ikiro Yoshida since Rise to Greatness and the night of the Hall of Fame where they did enter together and surprised a few people. The cat was out of the bag, Sienna didn’t care to be honest, she liked the Asian Superstar, the only hang up was Chris Cannon holding her back and that was a married man who had a story behind it which was not explained, at least not yet. Sienna looked over at Ikiro, the concern of his family returning was still there, she had seen him in the arena, talked to him on the phone, there just wasn’t much else in the month following the huge event…
Sienna: “I don’t come here enough, Regan always talks about how fun it is, bringing little Jay out here, having funnel cake and snow cones. I love the beach, the ocean, I guess I just stick more to the house then actually come down to the pier. Could be a reason I never feel like looking for a bigger home and moving, I don’t know but I’m glad you came.”
Ikiro: “I am glad too. Is everything okay?”
Sienna: “Ikiro, I’m a woman who comes with a lot of baggage….”
Ikiro: “You travel heavy? Eye Yoshi does too…. maybe three suit case?”
Sienna pauses and chuckles a little, she did enjoy his misunderstandings. They helped lighten the mood…
Sienna: “No sweetie, I don’t mean like actual travel, what I am talking about is me, personally, my life. The way I am, I have always been someone who has her share of problems and issues.”
Ikiro: “You are World Champ now, proud of Sienna. You will do fine at Apocalypse, you have nothing to fear from the man child of Ace and Cassidy.”
Sienna: “I wish that were true sweetie. Allocco worries me, he’s one of those unknown factors I need to be careful with, 3 matches in and he won the belt, this could be it for me if I’m not careful… I know why Mr. D put him against me, he thinks he has the best chance to beat me. Fact is, I took almost four years to get here, I never once imagined it would be over less than a month, not going to happen. I just feel like I needed to clear the air with you today.”
Ikiro looks around, taking a deep breath….
Ikiro: “A bit smoggy, but EyeYoshi like sea air. Water is good for surfing…”
Sienna cracks a smirk, shaking her head. Ikiro always found a way to make her laugh, smile and be different, be herself instead of putting up facades which wasn’t always the case when they had first met. He ran her through the ringer at times, drove Sienna nuts which she was in a dark place, abusing sleeping pills and alcohol, a practice she is trying to clean herself up but in the process she took a different approach, one that deep down inside there is motive yet she cannot help it…..
Sienna: “That’s what I love about you, always making me laugh. No, sweetie, it’s been about the way I have been acting lately and I need to be honest, you deserve that much. I have feelings for you, the sex was good, I will not deny that….”
Ikiro: “Sex was good, Eye Yoshi is a Devil in bed.”
Sienna: “And I’m an Angel?”
Ikiro: “Yes.”
Sienna: “I can be a devil… I’m losing concentration here. When I became the World Champion, Laura has been pulling me every which way but loose here. I don’t know if I am coming or going at times, I really don’t. I think in the past few months I have lost myself in the business, with interviews, photo shoots, the magazine cover story with Vogue, the other with Bazaar, it’s been crazy that I have not had any time for myself. What time I do have, it’s to sleep, rest up or travel from city to city. The thing is, I have a huge problem.”
Ikiro: “Problem?”
Sienna: “This. I am falling for you and it scares me Ikiro. I have been hurt before, I trust you wouldn’t do that to me, but things happen. I am going through a lot right now, I have some major issues that do not concern you and would rather not bring you into them. You are a sweet man that means well, there is no doubt in my mind that you want to be there for me in the end, right?”
Ikiro nods, he has fallen for Sienna as well. She though is not being completely honest with him. There is one major reason why she is having this conversation with Ikiro, one that she doesn’t want to have yet feels compelled to have it for some odd reason. The gorgeous South African wants to do the right thing but in reality, when it comes to one factor, she is incapable of it and has used her addiction as a weapon….
Chris Cannon.
Sienna sits up, looking down at the flowers, closing her eyes for a second, thinking to why this is even happening in the first place…..
Malibu, CA.
8.19.18
Not in her wildest dreams did Sienna Swann think Chris Cannon would actually show up at the AA meeting. When she was on the phone, that was what she was frantically doing, trying to get a hold of Chris Cannon as a sponsor. It was a long shot, it was a gamble, but it was one she thought she could take. Of course, she could have called Ikiro but why? He wouldn’t understand what was happening and she didn’t want him to know this was that bad. The same story about Regan Street or anyone in the Helms family, she didn’t know if she could trust the secret would stay safe as much as she loved them as well. There was Bree which was truthfully her first choice, but the beautiful bestie was bogged down with her own problems, AA would probably lead her to drink after reminding her of Amy Chastaine and Sienna didn’t want that….
Her only choice and it was a shot in the dark, was Chris Cannon.
Everyone knew the obsession she had with Cannon, that had started years ago, of course Sienna never really met Chris until after he and Kelcey were married but there was something about him that just tickled her fancy. She stood up when a smile came across her face and a sigh of relief escaped her lips. Chris Cannon walked in, he saw a seat empty next to Amanda Swann, much to her surprise, she knew of Chris, it was hard not to when you were as handsome as he was. She had never met him until now however, he sat down and nodded….
Chris: “Hello Ms. Swann, I’m Chris.”
Amanda: “Yes, I know who you are, a pleasure…”
He keeps it short, turning back and watching as Sienna continues to speak….
Sienna: “…I never thought I had a problem. My mother and father were alcoholics and all I ever wanted was for them to be sober. I struggled with it, their sickness became mine. I fought so hard to get them clean in the process I became one. Then I started with sleeping pills, the road to where I was going was death. Not too long ago one of my friends found me unconscious on the couch, I had accidentally overdosed with pills and alcohol, my friend was only seventeen at the time and for a young girl to come home to that was horrible for her. She called my mother who is here in the audience and brought me here, she saved my life. If it wasn’t for her and Jennifer, I would be dead, I certainly wouldn’t be here now…”
Chris eyes widen, he turns to Amanda who nods….
Amanda: “It’s true.”
Chris: “I was not aware of that. Jenni found her?”
Amanda: “Yes, that young woman saved my daughter’s life.”
Chris: “Good to know…”
He turns his attention back to Sienna who continues with her story….
Sienna: “It was very hard for me to stand here and admit to this. I continued to lie to myself, pretend it never happened and when I woke up, I was embarrassed, humiliated, I yelled at my mother when for hours she took care of me while I was out cold. I will never forget that. I’m not perfect, I am a woman like many who sit here today. I know people look at me and see my looks and think because of that I have no issues, they are wrong. Social media these days has played a big role in that… It’s the pressures, the life I chose to live, the things I decided to do and the way I approached them. Yes, my name is Sienna Swann and I am an addict. Thank you.”
Director: “Ladies and Gentlemen, Sienna Swann, welcome her.”
The crowd starts to clap, she nods and half smiles, the meeting continues for another hour or so as Sienna sits next to Chris, she tries to smile but is almost embarrassed after her talk to the group and what he obviously heard… She sits there quietly, not saying a word until the meeting is over, she stands and greets with a few people before walking to the corner, Chris follows her, Amanda is watching while mingling with other members….
Sienna: “You came, I honestly didn’t think you would…”
Chris: “I almost didn’t. But It was a pretty compelling text you sent me, although I must admit I thought this was one of your little schemes to get me out here to see you. I didn’t think it was real until I walked in here. I guess I wanted to see for myself.”
Sienna: “How little you think of me, Chris.”
Chris: “It’s hard to blame me, isn’t it Sienna? The last time I saw you, was at Breakdown and you tried to get a little too affectionate with me on TV.”
Sienna looks away a moment and nods…
Sienna: “I couldn’t help myself, besides I was only trying to help, you were hurt, a girl can try, right?”
Chris: “Well, after what you did to Kennedy, I’m sure you are aware there are not many people in my family that are happy with you so please, if you feel compelled to think this was easy for me, it’s not.”
Sienna: “I know…”
Chris: “There is history here love, we both know that. I am putting my trust in a woman that tried to seduce me while my wife slept on New Year’s Eve.”
Sienna: “Did you ever tell her?”
Chris: “Should I have, Sienna?”
Sienna: “That’s a no. Chris, this is not about my personal feelings for you. This is about my wellbeing and I really could use your help moving forward, please. I didn’t know where else to turn, I mean, it was tough for me to even gather the courage to text you. I didn’t want to until my mother told me I needed a sponsor. I was unaware of it and would like to keep this on the down low if you know what I mean? It’s why I didn’t reach out to Bree or Regan or anyone else…”
Chris: “What about Ikiro Yoshida? I saw you two together at the Hall of Fame, you two seemed to be awfully close, dare I say you make a cute couple.”
Sienna quickly feels compelled to back track and downplay her relationship with Ikiro. Chris doesn’t need to know she had sex with him right before the HoF ceremony. Sienna tries to laugh it off…
Sienna: “Ikiro…. Oh yes, right. He was my date for the night, I didn’t have anyone else since my engagement with Jacob (Knight) ended so abruptly. He dumped me in the fragile state I was in and that pushed me further. I didn’t know what to do then either, I’m just a mess. Ikiro and I are friends….. with benefits? As in we have great sex. I mean he is really good….”
Chris arches an eyebrow, sensing this is Sienna attempt to try and make him a little jealous….
Chris: “Right. So you could have asked him.”
Sienna: “I don’t want it to ruin our relationship and well, he has this Goddess complex on me, you know, worships the ground I walk on, I don’t want to ruin that and show him I’m a model, a World Champion but also with an addiction, it would like, destroy his whole world and the last thing I want to do is ruin the experience, if that makes sense?”
Chris: “Sure, it does. Well, like I said, if you need me as a sponsor, I am here. I will make sure that you are following the program and if you ever feel like you have the urge, I will be here.”
Sienna: “Do you mean that?”
Chris: “I do.”
Sienna: “Does Kelcey know?”
Chris: “Not yet but this is something I will have to share with her.”
Sienna: “Please don’t, I mean I don’t want anyone to know not just her…”
Chris: “I understand Sienna, I do. But she is my wife. I don’t hide anything from her. With the past you two have had, I would at least hope you two can be civil, is that so hard?”
Sienna: “I would try, but I know she hates me.”
The man they call Superman shakes his head. That was never true, Kelcey always liked and admired Sienna, even in the Silas Mason days. For the beautiful former Beauty Queen, it was all about a professional jealousy the two could never get over. She knew that deep down inside, Kelcey attempted to reach out but of course Sienna’s attraction to her husband was a bit of a snag….
Chris: “She never hated you. This was something that just happened. The fact remains I am honest with my wife and I need to tell her, love.”
Sienna: “This is supposed to be confidential, I don’t want her knowing then she tells Trinity or Kennedy and it gets back to the SCW, the Knight family, the rest of the wrestlers than they start tagging the World Champion as a lush, sweetie? Is that really fair to me? Is it, Chris?”
He sighs, knowing that Sienna brings up a good point. The last thing he wants to do though is sneak around Kelcey’s back, it would not benefit any of them so to say. Chris nods though he will quickly tell Kelcey the truth if things get blown out of proportion….
Chris: “Fine, I won’t say anything to her unless this gets out of hand and if it does, I will be the first to tell her, are we clear?”
Sienna: “Yes, yes we are. I’m just happy that you said yes and decided to really help me out in my time of need. I didn’t think you would and I wish you hadn’t heard the story of the overdose.”
Chris: “I did, your mother confirmed it. She is a very nice woman.”
Sienna: “She loves me unconditionally. You don’t think any lower of me, do you Chris?”
Chris: “No, we have all had our darker moments and weaknesses. I’m sure you had your reasons why it happened Sienna, I’m sorry they did, it must have been tough. No one should ever go through that. So Jennifer found you?”
Sienna: “Yes, I owe her so much. It traumatized her, and I will do whatever I can to make sure that I make it up to her, the first by doing this and living a clean and sober life.”
Chris: “Good. Well, I am here if you need me, I need to get back home. For what it’s worth, I’m proud of you Sienna. I know it isn’t easy to admit the problem and you have taken these steps and if there is anything I can do to help you through this then, I will.”
Sienna: “Thank you….”
She steps in and hugs the man she’s been infatuated with for years, just having him in her arms was more than she could ever ask for. What Sienna was feeling wasn’t real, it was completely made up and unfortunately for her Chris didn’t feel the same way. The question was, asking him to be a sponsor was this her way of getting him closer? Was this a ploy by Sienna to have Chris spend time with her, an act which normally wouldn’t happen….
Was this genuine?
She continues to hug him when he finally makes the break, she quickly pecks him on the cheek and smiles…
Sienna: “Thank you for being here for me. The group leader has some literature for you on the way out, sweetie.”
Chris: “Okay, I’ll take care of it. I’m glad you are doing something about it. I’ll see you around.”
Sienna: “Yes, of course. Bye Chris.”
He walks by Amanda and gives her a hug and kiss on the cheek….
Amanda: “Thank you for doing this for my daughter, she really appreciates it and so do I more than you’ll ever know.”
Chris: “Anytime. I wouldn’t be much of a “Superman” if I didn’t come at a person’s time of need. Take care Mrs. Swann.”
Amanda: “Please, call me Amanda.”
Chris: “Okay, Amanda. Cheers.”
As Chris walks out, Sienna heads over to her mom, she seems to be in better spirits and a little skip confirms that to her mother. Sienna was over the moon. Her mom folds her arms and narrows her eyes….
Amanda: “Sienna?”
Sienna: “It’s fine mom, he makes the “Perfect” sponsor wouldn’t’ you agree?”
All she can do is smile and hug her mother. Amanda doesn’t know what her daughter is up to if anything but then again knowing Sienna Swann….
Anything is possible.

Later that Day
Sienna continues to stare at the beautiful flowers, all she could think about was Chris Cannon, it was becoming an obsession of sorts but still controlled and with everything happening lately, it was only a matter of time before things were going to come to a head. For now though she wanted to be up front with Ikiro, he was a man that cared for her and in many ways she had feelings for him but couldn’t get Chris out of her mind and that was what the holdup was the entire time…..
Sienna: “I care about you sweetie, I may even love you, I don’t know but right now there is so much going on in my life that I want to be fair with you and not hurt you like I have others. I have so much going on right now and I have fun with you Ikiro, you are like my spirit animal, whatever that is, it sounded good in my head before I actually said it.”
Ikiro: “I feel the same way, I know no Spirit animal, but Eye Yoshi is a like a dragon?”
Sienna: “Yes, a dragon. So, what I am saying is, I need to get over this part of my life and then I want to be a part of yours if that’s what you want?”
Ikiro: “Yes. I do.”
Sienna: “I just need to get over this first, I have to get well, the Angel is sick.”
Ikiro: “Sick? Eye Yoshi has Tylenol.”
Sienna: “Not that kind of sick Sweetie, the kind that needs to take some time to heal and with being the World Champion, all of these things going on in modelling with Vogue and Bazaar, I just need time to sleep and rest, I hope you do understand.”
Ikiro nods and smiles, putting his arm over the shoulder of the beautiful Angel. She leans in and rests her head on his chest, feeling bad about what she is doing instead of fully committing to a relationship with him which is what she really wants but her small and minute false hope of getting together with Chris is stopping her from doing so…..
Ikiro: “I love you.”
Her eyes start to get teary-eyed, she feels the same but something a voice inside of her continues to scream the name Chris…..
Sienna: “I love you too, sweetie.”
She said it, did she really mean it or was it caught up in the moment, did it feel right? Maybe, but the second she was in Chris’s arms made her feel different…..
And that will either make or break the Angel.
EPILOGUE: SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM
The Chris Cannon Situation was odd, Sienna though knew something that no one else did and it happened in Las Vegas three weeks ago. She had a talk with Kelcey Wallace. Sienna paced around, she had asked Chris to come visit her, all she wanted to do was talk, knowing that he could help her with the match coming up, get her in the right frame of mind, while being her sponsor. Was this Sienna’s way of taking advantage of a situation? Did Kelcey agree to it? Was she willing to work with Chris and Kelcey, be honest if anything for her mother. How much affect was the rest of the world taking effect on Sienna and would she soon snap?
The Heavenly Angel as not only the World Champion, she was willing to do whatever it took to keep the title….
Anything.
Chicago, IL.
Two Days Before Apocalypse
Sienna sat at a restaurant overlooking the city. She was quiet, in a tight forming dinner dress and peep toe pumps, her nails polished black and hair in a high ponytail. The Truelove Twins wore a similar ensemble but white instead of black. Laura too was in a red dinner dress, it was a special occasion for the Beauty Factory, Sienna was Champion. A glass of wine sat in front of Sienna who hadn’t taken a drink in a few weeks since AA …..
Laura: “Is everything alright, darling? You haven’t drunk your wine? It’s a 2001 vintage, Argentinian Malbec, it’s delicious.”
Sienna: “I’m not thirsty. I’ll just have water.”
Laura: “Water? What is on your mind, sweetie?”
Sienna: “Nothing, I’m fine.”
Laura: “Preferring water over this exquisite wine tells me you’re not fine. You have been awfully quiet. If you are nervous about the PPV don’t be, we have everything covered, this child will not be a problem. You are ready for anything darling, you know that. You beat the woman who hasn’t been pinned since last retribution in 2017 and that was with help, twice. None of us are worried one bit about this.”
Sienna nods, sipping her water, the Truelove Twins look on, they seem a bit concerned. Sienna has been acting different since her trip to Las Vegas where the SCW was there. It was the night Sienna came out as World Champion for the first time and addressed the SCW and all the fans, it was also the night Kelcey Wallace waited for her after the constant Tweets and open attraction Sienna had for her husband….
Breakdown
Las Vegas
8.21.18
After Breakdown, since Las Vegas was only a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Southern California, Kelcey had made the trip with her husband, Chris Cannon to visit fellow SCW superstars backstage, hang out and see how things were going after her retirement. The sole purpose of her being there though was to talk to Sienna Swann. She waited patiently for her until she walked to the back, Kelcey was backstage, waiting in her locker room after the show went off the air….
Sienna walked in wearing pleather white pants, a gold halter top and matching heels, her nails polished a glossy color, holding the World Championship. She knew Kelcey was waiting for her, so she asked for Laura and The Twins to let them be. Kelcey was in jeans, a black halter top and peep toe pumps, her toe nails polished a matt purple and her hair hung down, standing with her arms folded, her blue eyes narrowed some. Sienna closed the door behind her….
Sienna: “Kelcey…”
Kelcey: “First off, congratulations.”
Sienna: “Thank you. I know it was hard for you to say that considering who I beat for it.”
Kelcey: “Not at all, even Kennedy would admit you beat her clean. She has no excuses and I wouldn’t make any for her anyway, that isn’t my place and I know she wouldn’t appreciate it. Besides I always knew you would be a World Champion one day, all you needed was the opportunity.”
Sienna: “They finally gave it to me. You asked me to meet you here, why?”
Kelcey: “You know why, let’s not play dumb here Sienna and truthfully, I’m not the jealous type, I have never worried about what my husband does, I know that he is a good man, a good father and a perfect husband, wouldn’t you agree?”
Sienna nods….
Kelcey: “Good, you also know that he is married to me, right? I respect others and their partners. I would never try to openly ruin a marriage or even throw myself at someone like a slut.”
Sienna: “Excuse you… Did you just call me a slut?”
Kelcey: “No Sienna, you are not a slut, right now though you are acting like one, love.”
Sienna: “Excuse me?”
Kelcey Wallace may be retired, but she still had a fiery temper and that showed in her eyes as she glared across at Sienna….
Kelcey: “Why are you embarrassing yourself? Why do you constantly have to go after my husband? I watched Breakdown last week, I have seen your tweets recently. I don’t know if this is a game to get back at me or not, I figured after our last match, that was enough to feed your ego for a lifetime, was I wrong? Now you want to try and ruin my marriage? My family? Show me absolutely no respect here? Is that the game you want to play, Sienna?”
Sienna: “I’m not playing any games, Kelcey. Did I physically try to seduce your husband? Did I in any way, shape or form do anything different from the thousands of fangirls that want him? I am a flirtatious woman, I always have been, don’t read too much into it, I like Chris, doesn’t mean I am trying to fuck him.”
Kelcey: “No? So, you didn’t try to fuck him New Year’s Eve while I was passed out in my hotel room after a grueling match with Blake?”
Sienna’s eyes widen….
Sienna: “I’m sorry… what?”
Kelcey: “Oh, you didn’t think Chris wasn’t going to tell me? The next morning, he told me what happened, and I laughed it off because of how pathetic of you that was, I expected better from a woman who is probably the most attractive woman I have seen in my life time. What is your game Sienna? Really? You know, I thought I could expect better from you considering our past. Do you remember Las Vegas? This is the city where Silas hooked us up together or did you forget that?”
Sienna: “I remember it vividly…”
Kelcey: “Yeah, we were intimate with one another, Chris doesn’t even know that, Sienna, the only person that does is Silas because he was there and initiated it all. What happened after that? Your pursuit to be me became such an obsession that now you want to steal my husband?”
Sienna: “No, I don’t want to steal your husband.”
Kelcey: “Look me in the eyes and tell me that you do not love him.”
Sienna turns away and takes a deep breath, she tries to compose herself. Now would not be the right time to tell her that Chris is her AA sponsor. She doesn’t want Kelcey to know that she is an addict, it would make her look weak even as SCW World Champion. She takes a second while Kelcey approaches her….
Kelcey: “You do, don’t you?”
Sienna: “No, I don’t this is absurd. I am done talking about this. We have a checkered past, I always admired you, all I ever wanted to be was you but now I am better than you will ever be, I am the World Heavenly Champion, and nothing will change that. Now if you don’t mind, I need to get back, enjoy my night and stop discussing this absurd notion with you.”
Sienna turns to walk away but Kelcey grabs her arm…..
Kelcey: “We are not done….”
Before Kelcey could finish her sentence, Sienna snaps and grabs her by the neck, pushing her against the wall…..
Kelcey: “Let go of me Sienna, don’t hurt me….”
Sienna: “Begging now Kelcey? Has retirement made you this soft, sweetie?”
Kelcey: “No….”
Suddenly Kelcey grabs for her stomach and a cold chill comes across the spine of Sienna. Her blue eyes widen, trembling she lets go of Kelcey and backs away…..
Sienna: “Oh God…. You’re pregnant?”
Kelcey: “Yes.”
Sienna doesn’t know what to do, it was like her whole world started to fall apart. Running her fingers through her hair, Sienna could only see the beautiful Kelcey concerned for her baby and well-being. Sienna quickly apologizes….
Sienna: “I…. I am so sorry….”
Kelcey: “Sienna, it’s okay, I just want to talk to you and….”
Sienna: “I have to go…..”
Kelcey: “Sienna please!?”
Sienna: “I have to go!”
Without another word spoken, the beautiful World Champion walks right out of the dressing room leaving Kelcey there, she sighs and slams the wall…..
Kelcey: “Damn it.”
This was not the way it was supposed to go.
Chicago, IL.
Two Days Before Apocalypse
That night she had gone out with Bree, she had already fell off the wagon with a few drinks and never spoke again bout the conversation she had with Kelcey. They hadn’t announced anything yet, it was obvious they were waiting for the right time. Sienna though was troubled by it, over and over. She loved Chris, Kelcey put her on the spot, he was her sponsor, it was nights like this she needed to call him and remind Chris of her sobriety. The glass of wine sat there, she hadn’t touched alcohol since Vegas, slipping after finding out Kelcey was pregnant.
Was this the end of the road for Sienna and her quest to finally reel in Chris Cannon….
Laura: “Darling?’
Sienna reaches over and takes the glass of wine, instead of sipping it, she gulps it all down forgetting about her mother and how she asked to do it all for her, it didn’t seem very important at the moment, everything she had planned was starting to fall apart……
Laura: “Okay, that’s enough, you have a World Title Match in a few days, let’s just enjoy dinner.”
Sienna: “I’m not hungry.”
Laura: “Darling? Please, relax.”
Sienna: “I’m not feeling very well, I’m going up to my room.”
Laura: “Everything okay?”
Sienna: “Yes…. It is.”
She stands up, places the napkin on the table and walks out, Laura sighs and glances over at the Twins, she nods as they both get up and follow her from a distance. After a few minutes Sienna gets up to her room, she slips off her heels and walks barefoot back and forth, pacing, her phone in hand hesitant to text Chris Cannon, but she does….
With his first match also at Apocalypse she knew he was in the hotel somewhere, she didn’t know which room. But this didn’t stop her from contacting him all the same…. After a few minutes that passed, she gets a knock on the door, quickly opening it, it’s Chris in jeans, loafers and a button-down shirt, untucked, she grabs his hand and pulls him in, unbeknownst to her the Truelove Twins were watching from a distance… She quickly shuts the door and paces frantically….
Chris: “Okay, what is wrong?”
Sienna: “I’m a failure… I… I had a drink.”
Chris looks at Sienna and tries to choose his words carefully…
Chris: “You know what, it’s fine Sienna, calm down, sit please.”
Sienna: “It isn’t fine. I had a drink and I want more.”
Chris: “Sienna, sit down.”
Chris’ tone was a little sterner and upon hearing it the beautiful Angel quickly sits at the edge of the bed….
Sienna: “I can’t fight the urge anymore, I just can’t… Every time, all I can think about is it. It’s driving me crazy, I don’t want to become one of those women who lets her addictions consume her and I give up the fight.”
Chris: “That isn’t going to happen. This isn’t going to be an easy journey for you. But you can do it.”
Sienna: “I don’t know if I can… I called you because…. I’m afraid, Chris. I have no one to turn to with my problems. My mother isn’t here, my friends can’t know…. They can’t.”
Chris: “Look, first step right now is you need to calm down, Sienna. You had a slip up, it’s not the end of the world, we can fix this.”
Sienna: “We can? What about your wife?”
Chris pauses for a moment…
Chris: “Kelcey? What she got to do with anything?”
Sienna: “She’s pregnant and you didn’t tell me?”
Chris’s eyes suddenly widen, he had no clue that she knew that Kelcey was pregnant, it was news they didn’t want to leak out until they were in the clear especially with her disease and all that’s happened in recent years with the couple….
There were some who were suggesting they terminated the pregnancy…
Chris: “Kelcey told you?”
Sienna: “She didn’t have to.”
Chris: “Sienna, I don’t want that news to get out yet.”
Sienna: “It’s not my place. I just need to get through this.”
Chris: “You are, trust me.”
Sienna: “Am I? I’m so close to defending my title for the first time, I can’t allow my vices to take control. I can’t lose the World Title after four years. I won’t take the humiliation of my words falling on deaf ears after I have postured for so long and campaigned to get this belt. I can’t let this addiction control my life anymore…..”
Her eyes tear up, a few trickles down her cheek. Chris is there to support her no matter how he may feel other wise and their past. He is not aware of the intimate past she had with his wife and the things they did yet Sienna and Kelcey were once friends, they always had an understanding. He wants to do the right thing, by being there as her sponsor and someone who will lift her up when she is down. Chris sits next to her on the bed and places his arm around her shoulders, slowly pulling her in so her head rests on his upper chest….
Sienna: “I’m sorry I pulled you into this.”
Chris: “No…no… I’m glad that I could help, love. Seriously.”
Sienna: “I know that this must feel awkward and I make you feel uncomfortable, that was never my intentions, Chris… honest sweetie.”
Chris: “You want honesty? I’ve seen you naked twice, that was awkward. This is something else… but it isn’t me feeling uncomfortable okay?”
For a small moment Sienna had a smile, was it because he made he laugh at his comment or she recalled those moments she stripped down trying to seduce him. The thought of his eyes just looking at her was enough for the beautiful Swann….
Chris: “Just concentrate on getting better, that is why I am doing this. I want you to get better.”
Sienna: “With you here, I already am.”
Chris: “You just need to calm down and remember you are one of the strongest women I have ever met. Kelcey has even said that before too. You don’t give yourself enough credit. You are a World Champion for a reason and it’s not by dumb luck. We both have been curtailed by the same person, it tried to end both of our careers and look at you now? That shows perseverance, class and passion which a lot of people believed you didn’t have. You have it all.”
Sienna: “…I do? Coming from you, that means the world to me.”
She snuggles up to him, grabbing his hand and closing her beautiful icy blue eyes. Chris goes with the flow and holds her tightly. After a few moments, the smell of her hair like lavender, smooth skin and beautiful tone, she slowly glances up at Chris, their eyes lock up. Leaning toward him she gently plants her lips on his, slowly caressing her tongue with his, this continues for a few more seconds before Chris realizes he was caught in the moment and gently pushes her back but Sienna resists, so he uses a little more force, standing up and heading toward the door….
Sienna: “Where are you going!?”
Chris: “We can’t do this Sienna!”
Sienna: “Please…. Don’t leave me, I need you!”
The next sounds she hears are the door closing behind Chris. Sienna runs to the door and opens it quickly, she sees Chris walking away…..
Sienna: “Chris!? Please!? I….. I……”
Never turning around, he gets into the elevator, the door shutting as Sienna falls back into the room and down on the bed, muttering the words….
Sienna: “….I love you.”
That was always her feelings toward him, no one else. Jacob and maybe even Ikiro were both two men who she just settled for, it was always about Chris Cannon. The world Champion finds herself alone, knowing the real addiction….
Is him.
SCENE FADES
“Addiction….
Something you obviously need to continue to even perform a simple task. It’s hard to believe but I don’t always get what I want, working toward a goal and what many see as a chance to not only better yourself, the chance to fight against a feeling, an urge or desire that will never leave you alone until it is too late. I can watch a young woman so petrified in her own skin stand naked front and center, exposed to a camera, not fully understanding what lies ahead in the chosen profession. I can even swallow the moral vomit of a man who thinks his shit doesn’t stink. Lives will change at a rapid rate, come full motion from the days of fame to struggle, a vicious cycle we are never prepared for. Each individual handles their problems a different way, I always found the road of least resistance out of minor problems which up until now was a rather popular road to travel by the masses who preach and never practice….
And now I am lost?
The World Championship, the modeling industry, every time a beautiful girl comes around, I ask myself is she the one to dethrone me? Will this be the last day I hold this title?
Will it be over that quickly?
I never am given an answer so instead I escape in my own perfect world where Chris Cannon loves me. Where I stand as World Champion and the SCW worships the ground I walk on. Am I the one dreaming?
Or just some hopeless romantic trying to find definition in my own delusion?
Maybe it’s time to kick the addiction or at least have fun trying to find a semblance of order amongst the chaos.
I do know one thing….
Time at the top ends on all accounts?
Not mine…
Not now….
Not ever.”
THE ANGELIC ADDRESS
HEAVENLY MORALITY
The Scene Opens…
The Willis Tower, built as and still commonly referred to as the Sears Tower, is a 110-story, 1,450-foot skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois. At completion in 1973, it surpassed the World Trade Center towers in New York to become the tallest building in the world, a title it held for nearly 25 years; it remained the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere until the completion of a new building at the World Trade Center site in 2014. The building is considered a seminal achievement for its designer Fazlur Rahman Khan. The Willis Tower is the second-tallest building in the United States and the Western hemisphere – and the 16th-tallest in the world. More than one million people visit its observation deck each year, making it one of Chicago’s most-popular tourist destinations. The structure was renamed in 2009 by the Willis Group as part of its lease on a portion of the tower’s space.
As of December 2013, the building’s largest tenant is United Airlines, which moved its corporate headquarters from the United Building at 77 West Wacker Drive in 2012 and today occupies around 20 floors with its headquarters and operations center. The Willis Tower observation deck, called the Skydeck, opened on June 22, 1974. Located on the tower’s 103rd floor, it is 1,353 feet high, making it the highest observation deck in the United States and one of Chicago’s most famous tourist attractions. Tourists can experience how the building sways on a windy day. They also can see far over the plains of Illinois and across Lake Michigan to Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin on a clear day. Elevators take tourists to the top in about 60 seconds and allow tourists to feel the pressure change as they rise up. The Skydeck competes with the John Hancock Center’s observation floor a mile and a half away, which is 323 feet lower. Some 1.7 million tourists visit the Skydeck annually.
Here is where we find the SCW World Heavenly Champion, Sienna Swann along with The Truelove Twins and Laura Steinbeck. Sienna is coming off another victory over Kennedy Street, twice in a three week span she has pinned the Sexy Flawless Diva who walked out of Rise to Greatness with the biggest win of her career. Sienna had won a Number One Contender spot beating three of the best in the SCW, Donovan Kayl, Syren and Thirteen to get the shot and she took immediate advantage of it and surprised everyone including Kennedy Street, the Champion and finally reached the pinnacle of her career. Now she faces Adam Allocco who was handpicked by Mr. D and his daughters to defend against at Apocalypse when many thought it would be Kennedy or even Syren…..
Sienna doesn’t care.
Wearing black pleather pants and gold open toed heels, a matching gold halter top with her long hair straightened and down and nails polished black. The Twins behind her have the same ensemble with red tops, their nails polished red. Laura is in a black business suit and pumps, she stands in the corner, pointing at the camera man to begin the recording….
REC:
Holding the World Championship over her shoulder, the Heavenly Angel takes a second to soak in her title while overlooking the city of Chicago. She speaks in her sexy, South African accent….
“Angels Rise….
They ascend into the Heavens, looking down at all of those not worthy to walk into he pearly gates. Standing here in the Willis Tower, seeing below me all crawling like ants under my feet is a stark reminder of how many years it took me to finally get to this point. It seems like the common theme for Allistaire Allocco and the locker room of the SCW is Earning Your Keep. Mr. Allocco was not lying when he stated that the SCW Superstars are mostly whiners and criers, never looking at the big picture or willing to spend four years of their lives fighting their way to get what I hold so precious to me, the World Heavenly Championship. I feel like I can touch the finger of God right now and as his chosen Champion, the model from which beauty and allurement was created, it is time to for me to plant my flag, spread my wings and enjoy my time as World Champion. It is easy to get lost in translation, the expedition we partake entering the SCW, chapter by chapter, match by match, it al leads to experiences which we then take and fold into our own manifest, creating who we are as wrestlers, champions and people.
I did in four years what Allistaire Allocco did in three matches?
Did Allistaire wrestle in both Best of the Best tournaments?
No.
Did Allistaire redefine a dying division for women every where that could today look at me as an inspiration, giving them hope, dreams and desires to pursue their careers and one day work toward being a World Champion like I am now?
No.
Did Allistaire suffer an injury that was career threatening, paralyzed in fear all for doing the right thing as so he likes to point out when the right thing ended up being the biggest mistake of my career for no one ever really appreciated the sacrifices made by I, an important development when I chose to tell the truth about my mistakes?
No.
Did Allistaire Allocco survive one hour with Selena Frost in an Iron Woman match, pin her twice and show why without a shadow of a doubt I was the cornerstone of Platinum and not her?
No.
Did Allistaire Allocco survive over seventy minutes at Taking Hold of the Flame after being shafted week after week by the owners and the acting commissioner after I was robbed of being Number Forty and forced to draw an early number?
No.
Finally, did Allistaire Allocco walk into Rise to Greatness in one of the Main Events and defeat not one, not two but three former World Champions including a hometown hero and a six-time champion in the process?
NO…. NO…. NO!
What Allistaire Allocco did was fight for ten months, yes ten months “earning” his chance at my title? Tack on another three yeas to that and you are where I am. I guess it comes naturally to you Allistaire to see the world through rose colored glasses. We live in a society where opinions are now the judge, jury and executioner. If we gather enough of the same, then it has become gospel. It was easy for you to taste the fruits of a labor that should take time, throwing you into a World Title match and you actually winning in an Elimination Chamber is insulting to the other five competitors who allowed that to happen but when I look at who was there, honesty sweetie? It doesn’t surprise me with the exception of AJ Helms, he’s young and learning the ropes as well. Amy Chastaine, Blake Mason, Selena Frost and Ace Marshall should all be ashamed for dropping the ball against you. It’s no secret Ace wanted to bring you under his wing, we all watched in anticipation and boredom, mixed like a lethal cocktail in your growth with the most immoral man on the roster which is why I find it quite humorous that you sir would even find the time or energy to even bring morality to the mix in our match at Apocalypse…
For you have already been corrupted.”
The Heavenly Angel and World Champion slowly shakes her head in disgust, looking back at the World Championship, reassuring herself that the road she took to get there was not of least resistance. It was her chance to make the climb, really show off her talents and when the time came, she took the opportunity to finally win the title which has alluded her all this time. Sienna’s icy blue eyes glare out into he city of Chicago, speaking softly in her South African accent….
“Morality….
A word that once upon a time meant ethics and goodness. Its definitions changed throughout the years, it now fits only to the one who speaks of it. Hasn’t our daily life become subject to interpretation, Allistaire? Listening to the vast preaching’s of leaders, followers, the opposition or simply someone that wants their voice heard has become the belief in those who only want to listen what they feel is moral to them? FOX news is a right wing, CNN is a left wing, Race, color, creed, sex and sexual orientation all play their part in an ugly world who rather politicize every aspect of our lives from internet to phone to a television program, the Presidency we watch and our sporting events?
Take a Kneel?
Don’t you see Allistaire, what you stand for has become a conundrum, a sea of lies and deceit, a topic in need of clarification and explanation? What of the scriptures? Are they the laws, unwritten rules from which you abide by? Consumed by the notion I show too much skin which makes me dirty and slutty when you yourself called me beautiful and intelligent? Are we going to take the words written by men in togas, robes and sandals from a time where women were never their equal? Used only as whores for their pleasure or machines to make babies at alarming rates? If my skin, my body, my glamour bothers you?
Move to Saudi Arabia, sweetie.
The caveman mentality guised as religion, the dogma to control the public eye and fool them into believing in such propaganda that a woman like me is evil is preposterous. Young women idolize me, they look at Sienna Swann and want to be like me. Don’t you see Allistaire, this is not about morality or some code to live by for I have only one and there is no other interpretation or definition for….
Beauty.
I am the definition, I am the interpretation, I am the answer to those questions and not in some sort of opinion, it’s facts. This is why the SCW needs a champion like me and not like you. It has nothing to do with my skin, I’m confident in who I am. It is not just about hard work, I train every single day in the gym to have this body and a skill set to defeat anyone who decides to think they can best me. I have done everything right in the last four years, you have been given everything you have in the last ten months. To stand there and be a beacon for “perfection” almost brings me to my knees in laughter and sadness simultaneously for handsome? Yes. Clean cut? Yes. Model “Esque”? Yes. Those qualities you do possess, and Perfection is all part of the package which you lack….
I do not.
You call yourself the best pure wrestler in the SCW? I am the best pure athlete in the sport. The Iron Angel was not some quick and cute little moniker handed down to me by SCW Marketing, I earned every bit of it by doing feats and tasks no other woman has ever accomplished in this sport. I am a trendsetter, I beat Kennedy Street not Regan Street, do your homework, don’t embarrass yourself. I have risen from above all doubt and grabbed for the title when the time was right, though we all know this moment should have happened long before, it did at the hands of a woman that was almost unbeatable while you were able to beat your “childhood” hero which has a lot to be desired in Jake Starr.
Allistaire, let’s be real here sweetie….
Long as Ace Marshall was your mentor, your stablemate and your “friend” there is nothing you can speak on the topic of Morality. The man who had sex in janitor closets, exploits his dirty wife, promotes drugs and alcohol abuse? Makes fun of the sport you claim to love and honor? This is the man who has nurtured you into the business and I am supposed to take you seriously?
As a wrestler?
Yes, I do.
You represent the next generation of wrestlers, like me. A new Main Event, a change in the guard, the sounds of the hour glass running down on those who once dominated the scene, yes Allistaire, it is what we represent sweetie the only difference?
Your life is based on opinion…..
Mine on facts.
Beauty doesn’t take a backseat to anyone. They can scoff at what and who I am, what I stand for and this World Championship, the woman that stands before you as the Heavenly Angel defies and eliminates any points you have. See, Allistaire the truth is….
You find me beautiful and fight your inner desires all in the name of a Championship you’ll never wear again.”
Her icy blue eyes narrow, the Twins standing behind her smile, they both approve at the words of the gorgeous Angel and World Champion who finally made it, she climbed the mountain and in her first defense doesn’t plan to lose, there is no way she took almost four years to get here and watch it go away in a matter of a month. She shocked Kennedy before and now it’s Allistaire’s turn. Sienna continues to speak with conviction and motive….
“Those vices are hard to control. They slowly sneak up on you before you know it. There are so many pretentious individuals here, I have met each one at a time during my climb, I had hope for this place, only a select few I chose as my friends that I would share my experiences with. I too fell from glory, you know a little bit about that don’t you Allistaire? Such a light for the moral, is that why you were kicked off the football team at BYU?
Go Cougars?
I know how it feels, I have been there when you have everything that you ever loved, quickly taken away and are forced to do something else due to our choices, like this? We were transplanted, football was your first love, modeling and the pageantry was mine. Playing a sport now so corrupt, used to make men richer, college students handed money, endorsements, women, whatever they want to guarantee they play, tutors hired to keep their GPA’s up, so they could be in the lineup come Saturday, coaches caught in scams and hiding rape cases or other vile and disgusting acts from the public to protect their players….
Yes, an honorable profession that makes millions of dollars fooling the fanatics, you must be proud.
Tricky the world is, huh sweetie? I felt the same, I didn’t think I belonged at first and when I finally started to believe in my talent, that is when former World Champion after Former World Champion was being knocked out left and right by my knee until I made my name be known. For years all I ever experienced was jealousy, I would never make it, all talk, they stopped taking me seriously.
You Allistaire?
Won the World Title in three matches, after costing Selena Frost hers at this very event a year ago as Kelcey Wallace called the match, I was not at this event, mother nature played a role. How did it feel? Tasting what it was like to some who may never see it in ten or fifteen years, the feeling most of us hunger for days, months, years to finally get a sip of the Championship nectar. What did you have to strive for? Another shot? An experience you felt already leaving you wanting for more like a drug addict looking for the next fix? No, see Allistaire what you want? Tasted? Had a chance to defend and actually stand at the top of the company where there was a line of people who should’ve been in front including me? It is where we stand now between you and I. Holding what you once had and I’m not giving it back. Fight off Silas Mason! Have an Iron Person match Selena! Rise to Greatness against Syren! Knock out fourteen World Champions! Beat KENNEDY Street! Take a pile driver from the second rope at the hands of Blake Mason AND SURVIVE! Wear a potato sack and wrestle in it!
Those are the moments I dealt with, they are the reason I am the World Champion, and this is a fraction, a mere taste of what I have been through in the last four years! No Mr. Allocco, you cannot, for the last ten months mean a lifetime for you, yes? No, it only stands for your experiences and not mine, they didn’t come so quickly for the Angel. See, I always relegate back to beauty, to what I stood for all this time. It is not just a title, a chance to stand prestigious, downplaying everyone around you, feeding the line of hypocritical jargon and condescending rhetoric which spits from your mouth. The story is about a woman who defied all odds, saw her career flash before her eyes, was booed, garbage thrown at her, heckled, black balled, the whispers of my actions and demise….
SCW saved Sienna Swann and now?
Sienna Swann saved SCW.”
Her eyes slowly close for a moment, feeling the power she possesses holding the World Championship in her hands. The Twins stand behind her, ready to support the Angel in any way. There is no doubt Sienna finds Allistaire handsome, attractive, his morality though is hypocritical, a joke at times which Sienna takes rather serious for one reason, he reminds her of the self-entitled, opinionated asses in her profession of modeling. The man wants the World Title back, not after the hell she went through to get it. She turns to speak….
“Allistaire, I’m a dual professional. Modeling has always been a showcase of the beautiful, alluring and elegant. There has never been any doubt whatsoever what a woman like me represents. Before the World Championship, before the Women’s and TV Titles, even before anyone saw the true value I brought to this business, they watched me. The NEW “Perfect 10”. What did you really think? A disgraced woman who was caught shamed from her chosen profession came here second hand to make a career of a business that wasn’t her first choice?
In South Africa, when I was growing up the masses looked at me, from the age of nine, ten, eleven, twelve, it didn’t matter and they all saw I was the chosen one, the most beautiful creature to ever step foot on God’s Green Earth. Is it my fault I was given these gifts? Are you going to point fingers at me and claim I am NOT a deserving Champion for my vanity and arrogance which translates to pure confidence, it is those words, you choose to describe me out of your own will to downplay my accomplishments and what I represent in the SCW.
The days of the Sexy Flawless Diva, Totally Awesome and Snow Queens is OVER.
I was just like anyone else, a little girl that didn’t know what the Future held. I had my struggles with self-confidence, I fell to vices, feeling as if it would get me through the day, without a scratch, leaving scars so deep I’m ashamed of and still, did I let it deter me? I get the chance to compete in my hometown in front of my family and friends in 2016 for the World Title, I lost, yes I saw myself walking away with the consolation prize, a pat on the back to make me feel good, to this day the memory was a reminder I would one day get my hands on the World Title hoping it was from Syren, close enough. Chapter after Chapter, story after story, watching them all get their due diligence as I continued to fight and defy the odds?
No one believed a beautiful Angel from the Heavens would be capable of it.
They fell on the past like Katie Steward.
Cheering like little smarks and lemmings to the “Lizard King” and Giovanni Aries.
Standing in awe, supporting Kennedy Street and her road to perdition?
Laughing at the crude antics of Ace Marshall.
Yes, all of these have been a factor in my career while I continued to defy the odds, change the script and stake claim to my spot as the very BEST in this company. I didn’t wait for the Future, I wanted it now. Those who questioned me, made jest of my Tweets? My words, twisting them around to serve their own purpose, where are they now?
Silent.
And now a new Challenge arises, Allistaire Allocco, the man primed to take the SCW to the next level, ordained as the next World Champion with my time coming to an end after a mere month? Four years it took me to get here and you think for one second it will end abruptly?
You’re right, it will…..
For you Mr. Allocco.
Angels never die, they RISE….
They Ascend….
As the World Champion.”
Biting down on her jaw, eyes narrowing again, holding the World Title on her shoulder, the tone, the aggression continues to get louder and more intense as she talks. Ready for Allistaire Allocco, the gorgeous Sienna brushes her long hair back and holds up the World Championship….
“My morality, my sense of existence and worth is through my body, it’s a work of art, beautiful to the eye even when you want to act blind, Allistaire. I was created to be a World Champion, you were trained to be one. Come Apocalypse I not only want you to be at your best, prove to me you are the best….
You can’t.
It has taken me long enough to cleanse this title from the ugliness it once represented by Erasing The Past. Now? I will stop the next wave and watch your hopes and dreams shatter….
With a Kiss By an Angel.
Do not worry though Allistaire, I have a present for you so that you can be reminded of what you face tomorrow night. Take the next 24 hours, sulk, think, fantasize by remembering who you’re in the ring with and look at it repeatedly, let your imagination run wild and for the first time in your self-absorbed, sheltered life?
Enjoy true beauty, letting go of your inhibitions..”
Laura nods and posts a picture up to see, Sienna smirks while the Twins chuckle. The Angel whispers….
“And have a Slice of Heaven,
Courtesy….
Of THE SCW World Champion.”
Blowing a kiss and smirking, holding the title up as the picture of her new Vogue Photo shoot is posted…
