REC:
“When I watched Kelcey Wallace’s final match at the 2017 End of the Year Special, the awards, a battle royal for the Adrenaline Title where wrestlers who normally do not compete staked their claim to a chance at the belt, I sat in the back and watched a woman I admired, defeated and lost to, step into the ring for the very last time against a man I truly despise in Blake Mason, it was in that moment, I made a promise to myself….
I would not fill the void left by the “Perfect Ten”, oh no….
Instead, to exceed anything, she has done in a single year.
I did that.
The 2018 campaign for the Heavenly Angel can be summarized in not very many words for Sienna Swann, really you only need just one….
Successful.
Was there anyone that came close to what I had accomplished? No, there wasn’t and the screams of the “Future is Now” are louder and clearer than ever before, for they have been heard and no longer doubted. I broke records in Taking Hold of the Flame, I won Iron Women Matches, I defeated the absolute best in this business and in one night became the World Champion who to this day is only mere weeks away from breaking another record, that of longest reigning World Champion of all time in SCW. This was supposed to be the chance I finally was able to challenge Blake Mason one on one since he tried to end my career back in 2016. Afterwards, I then elevated my game, the stocks rose, wings spread wide, and I soar to the very top of this business without looking back and he’s….
Fired.
Not surprising, a true cop out.
So I turned my attention to Marie Jones who wanted to bring home the gold to end the year after being voted by the fans or rigged, whatever the case, make it easy on Syren so that she would be guaranteed the title, I denied her, one of the best the SCW has to offer and did you think for one second that I would end my tenure when the ball dropped and watch myself say Happy New Year without my belt in hand and be robbed of the chance to finally shut the mouth of Syren and Cassidy Carter? All my life, I have worked for my position in anything I do. That is why I was a Beauty Queen, a Top Model, the Face of Fashion and finally the most beautiful woman on the planet holding the SCW’s most prestigious Title. When I first began on my journey, it was about brining beauty and allure to such an ugly and repulsive existence, the masses with forked tongues who would pretend to be your heroes, the villains that needed a person to stand up and fight them and look at what we get? Those that surfaced?
Nothing.
I was what you needed.
Do you think I would fall in the same stereotypes as Kennedy Street or Syren? Cut out of the same mold with a different approach on the same topics, in which one cries, the other whines and yet it was ME who decided to make the change, evolve this company by first revolutionizing the Women’s Division until Ravyn KILLED it and I saved the little bit of remnants that were left? Now we have a little girl that thinks she’s a woman prancing around with title hopes and dreams when she has had a couple of “wins” and suddenly she’s considered to be on MY level?
Are we purposely trying to insult me?
I don’t work charity and Cassidy Carter is no where near where Syren and I stand, that is a compliment to Syren, the only one you will get from me. Cassidy Carter doesn’t belong in this match, she is nothing more than a fool, drunk, a clown, an embarrassment to women all over this sport and the only reason anyone knows anything about her is because of Ace Marshall. From the days of KWI where she was first learning her trade, whispers of the “future” which took years to unfold, the argument still remains, to the days where she and Ace played Kennedy an idiot which isn’t too hard really, the only thing you do well Cassidy is making people laugh….
At you.
To think that I must defend a title that I have worked my beautiful ass for every single week where I take NO DAYS OFF and have defeated all who stand in front of me to see someone who just coasts by and pretends this title is owed to you so once again like your husband, defecate, procreate, urinate, ejaculate and any other “ate” that you two disgusting, bottom dwelling scavengers can think of doing to MY belt in some sort of sick and twisted celebration all peppered with illegal narcotics, alcohol and any other contraband you can get your hands on especially in Los Angeles is NOT happening….
For this title has been elevated far beyond your reaches, I am NOT Kelcey Wallace, I will NOT fail like she did to your husband and basically hand you over a title that will be disrespected and taken back to the same state it was prior to me winning it, meaningless. Cassidy Carter, you are everything I have fought against in recent years and it is a damn shame really….
That I must stoop myself to your level.
I refuse.
For there was a time I respected your mentor and fought alongside Rachel Foxx in awe of her ability at the Trios Tournament, though I don’t expect you to remember as I’m sure there are more than a few brain cells that have been lost in recent years between you and Ace. I will never call you smart, intuitive or even witty, that would be an insult to those who are. What you have done Cassidy is scream loud enough to annoy the right people, they now practically handed you an opportunity to have a World Title match and you capitalized….
By defeating a man that somehow lost his way.
In doing so all you have done Cassidy is guarantee that I will make sure to end your little charade, this is not the next coming of the Marshall’s, oh no, if anything, it is the beginning of the end for your jokes are dry, your act is old and these World Title hopes?
Are pipe dreams.
The party is over Cassidy …..
As Angels Rise and we all find out….
If shit can actually float.”

THE IDES OF AN ANGEL: PART ONE
PROLOGUE: WRESTLER OF THE YEAR
Going into the year 2018, Sienna Swann had made a promise and commitment to herself, that she would learn from the mistakes of 2017 and continue to climb the ladder of success, breaking into the Main Event. Many had already tabbed her as a woman who was on a meteoric rise as part of the select group but a rough patch against Ravyn Taylor had derailed her otherwise extremely successful campaign. 2018 was going to be different, she had certain goals, one was to finally become a World Champion which she accomplished. Sienna defeated Selena Frost in an Iron Woman Match, she lasted seventy-minutes in Taking Hold of the Flame making almost to the end and the final three, defeated Syren, Donovan Kayl and Thirteen at RTG XV to gain the right to wrestle Kennedy Street for the World Title and surprised everyone challenging her immediately and winning after the Sexy Flawless Diva too was victorious and on cloud nine after her RTG Main Event win. That didn’t stop the critics though, the disrespect, they still didn’t look at Sienna as a true and viable World Champion….
So, she was going to make sure that if anything….
She would prove them wrong and for the next five months, that is exactly what she had accomplished, the final obstacle was Marie Jones who won a vote to wrestle Sienna at the End of the Year Special. In that though Sienna walked away with a few awards including Wrestler of the Year, Match of the Year against Selena at Retribution and finally Stable of the Year, Past. Present. Future. Overall it was a successful year for Sienna, she delivered on all her promises, all that was left now was to defeat Syren and now Cassidy Carter which she knew all along would get thrown in the match at Making Things Right, then she would be pursuing one more thing….
History.
The Beauty Factory was now in full force, they were the group to contend with but for many reasons, most were out of her control though she was being blamed for quite a few of them, Sienna Swann’s life around her was starting to crumble. Between her love life which was finding some stability alongside Ikiro Yoshida to her constant obsession of Chris Cannon which she felt added to her vices, the friendship that was falling apart with Regan Street….
In the ring the new Year was the time to celebrate, in her own personal life…
It was becoming hell.
SCW EOTY Special
Toronto, Ontario
It was finally done, Sienna had finished her final obstacle of the 2018 campaign, defeating Marie Jones, she was going to ring in the New Year still as the World Champion, something she stated and vowed going forward into the past year, 2018. After the matches, knowing that Katya was still trying to play her games, Sienna only had about an hour left before the New Year, she had gone back to her hotel, changed into a gold single tight dress, peep toe white pumps with her long hair slicked back in a ponytail, perfectly made up and nails colored a matte red. Laura wanted to spend the evening with the members of the Beauty Factory who were there. Her sister didn’t make the trip, staying home with her mother until her memory returned. She stood in front of the mirror and stared at herself, thinking back to the past year and everything that had happened. …
Laura: “The say if you stare at the brightest star for too long, you’ll go blind, darling.”
It was unintended, but Laura’s voice unannounced made Sienna jump a little, the beautiful Swann changing her position to see Laura’s reflection behind her…
Sienna: “You startled me, I didn’t even hear you come in. I must have been in my own little world.”
Laura stood there in a red suit and peep toe pumps, her nails polished black and long hair hanging down. Sienna cracked a smile, seeing here manager there holding all the trophies that Sienna won, placing them on the coffee table beside her….
Laura: “Sorry, I just wanted to congratulate the Female… No, THE Wrestler of the Year of 2018. Didn’t I tell you this past year would be different, didn’t I? We had some issues early I’ll admit but we learned from our mistakes, all of us.”
Sienna: “You’re right we did, me most of all… If it wasn’t for you helping me? I really don’t know where I would be.”
Laura: “Oh darling you’re too kind.”
Sienna finally turned around with a far more appreciative look on her face…
Sienna: “I’m serious here, Laura I owe you so much. I almost ruined my career let alone my life, I made so many mistakes and you fixed…. Everything.”
Laura: “When you say it like that then yes, I did. But I didn’t do anything you wouldn’t have if the shoe were on the other foot, Sienna.”
Sienna: “I don’t know about that, Laura…”
Laura: “I believe truly that you would otherwise I wouldn’t be here right now in your corner you most avid supporter, agent and manager of the greatest World Champion the SCW has seen. Which isn’t the end of it all either because come next month when you successfully defend your title against Syren, Cassidy Carter or both, doesn’t really matter, you will make history becoming the LONGEST reigning Champion of all time!”
Sienna “Oh no you have to… Wait, what?! Did you say longest reigning?!”
Laura: “Oh darling I should have known you wasn’t keeping tabs on things, but that is why you have me. But yes, you stand to be the longest reigning SCW World Champion ever and these awards here? This was just the beginning. Tonight, we are going to celebrate the New Year with the World Champion and Wrestler of the Year, participant in Match of the Year and member of the Stable of the Year!”
Sienna smiles, letting out a little giggle now feeding of Laura’s enthusiasm. Laura knows that Sienna has been under a lot of stress lately with the happenings between her and Regan Street, Jennifer Helms and of course Chris Cannon. Laura however only cares about her star and prized possession and wants to ensure that she is alright and ready to take on all challengers. To never lose momentum after beating Marie Jones earlier in the night even with the attempt at some crooked officiating or at least a failed plot at it….
Sienna: “Now that I think about things It was a pretty good year, wasn’t it Laura?”
Laura: “Hell, damn right it was woman!!”
Unexpectedly, Laura hugs Sienna making the Golden Swann laugh some. The two share a special bond, they have known each other for years, she discovered Sienna back in her youth and modelling days, Laura has always been like a mother figure to Sienna and in-kind Sienna had always been the daughter she never had. They share a special moment after a special night…..
Laura: “Okay, sorry, I don’t’ want to crease your dress…. I was just super excited to be a part of this with you, the Twins, Jennifer, Willow, the boys as well. I’m so proud to be associated with you, Sienna. In 2019, the skies the limit.”
Sienna: “It is and it’s only going to get better, that I am certain.”
Laura: “Yes, it is and….”
Before Laura could finish the door opens, standing there in the doorway with that smile of his was Ikiro Yoshida who walks in wearing a red suit, with black dress shirt and a red rhinestone tie. He has a smirk on his face seeing the gorgeous Iron Angel in her dress and licks his lips….
Laura: “Oh my It looks like I will leave you two alone, someone looks a little hungry… I can’t believe I just said that… I will see you both downstairs, in the Atrium, I reserved it just for us. We’ll all be down there to celebrate the New Year. I’m in a good mood, because I’m happy to see you Ikiro and believe me that doesn’t happen often darling.”
Ikiro: “Happy to see you too. My frie-”
Laura: “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves now, you know the people you hang out with scare me. You two do your thing, and I don’t mean in that way…. Whatever I already put my foot in my mouth. Just don’t be late or my feelings will be hurt.”
Sienna: “We will be down there soon Laura, promise.”
Laura: “Excellent darling.”
She starts to walk by Ikiro who winks….
Laura: “Okay, that wasn’t creepy at all.”
Sienna: “Bye Laura.”
Laura: “Bye….”
Ikiro: “Sayonara!”
As Laura walks past Ikiro after he steps inside the room, he slaps her hard on the ass, Laura’s eyes widen, slowly turning around holding her cheeks blushing a little….
Laura: “…. OWWWW!…. Why you… “
She holds her tongue and gives Ikiro a stare that was all too familiar however and immediately storms out of the room and slams the door shut, Ikiro spins on his heels and slides towards Sienna who starts to laugh before they both kiss….
Sienna: “I can’t believe you just did that… You are going to give her a heart attack one day Ikiro, you need to stop.”
Ikiro: “Laura heart is as strong as she is beautiful, she pretends not to be EyeYoshi know she likes the attention, makes her feel young again.”
Sienna: “Well maybe next time you should tell her that rather than slapping her on the ass, she might appreciate you more.”
Ikiro: “Like EyeYoshi’s Angel does?”
Sienna: “Exactly sweetie. Can I say that you look rather handsome this evening? I am really liking the tie you have there.”
Ikiro grins almost childlike from the confident which puts another smile on Sienna’s lips. She did so very enjoy Ikiro’s company which wasn’t always the case. Ikiro kisses the hand of Sienna and steps even closer to his Angel and looks into her icy blue eyes…
Ikiro: “You look so beautiful tonight. EyeYoshi is luckiest man in the world, now and forever.”
Sienna: “Well you make me feel like the luckiest woman, Ikiro. It’s strange to think how different things would be had you never shown interest. I may not have had the success I have had this year. “
Ikiro nods to the beautiful Swann while still holding her hand….
Ikiro: “You deserve everything you have achieved Angel. EyeYoshi is happiest he has been in a long time”
Sienna: “You’re such a sweetheart. I’m just glad that this whole Chris Cannon thing is behind us soon, I just need you to beat him up for me one more time after the stunt his son pulled on me, that is all.”
Ikiro: “I find son and…?”
Sienna: “No, don’t do that… Chris is the target, remember?”
Ikiro nods…
Sienna: “Things are looking up for us, this year was interesting, how I hated you leading into Valentine’s Day and ended up falling in love with you, that was something I never expected.”
Ikiro: “I always did.”
Sienna: “Oh really?”
Ikiro: “Yes, Japanese smile is contagious, happy people like Buddha.”
She cracks a smirk, biting her bottom lip…..
Sienna: “That was it….. your Japanese charm, sweetie?”
Ikiro: “Yes and Eye Yoshi’s handsome good looks.”
Sienna: “well, yes…”
Ikiro: “And EyeYoshi large penis.”
Sienna: “…Yes you are the total package… I just want you to do me a favor, okay?”
Ikiro: “Anything for my Angel.”
Sienna removes her hand from Ikiro’s and lets out a light sigh….
Sienna: “With all of this going on with Chris Cannon, don’t think anything of it okay? Know that I hate him. He tried to ruin my life and my career. It is over, and I have moved on from this. The New Year will bring us a new insight, gives us a NEW beginning and fresh start while still being at the very top of our game.”
Ikiro: “EyeYoshi understand, you have nothing to fear.”
Sienna: “Good. You love me, right?”
Ikiro: “Hai! You love me?”
Sienna: “More than you know sweetie. Now we have a party to go to and we better not be late, Laura wants us down there for the New Year.”
As Sienna grabs her purse and is about to head toward the door, still sore and hurting from her match, Ikiro grabs her gently from behind on her arms, with her hair up, he brings his arms forward and placed a gorgeous jade necklace around her neck of a bird….
Sienna: “What is this?”
Ikiro: “A gift. It belonged to EyeYoshi mother and now I want it to belong to you.”
Sienna: “M… me?”
She turns around and faces Ikiro who smiles. She is speechless and doesn’t know what to say. This is a huge honor that he had bestowed upon her and she is just in awe right now, she always knew how important his mother was to him… Sienna looks down at the necklace, placing the stone shaped as a bird in her fingers….
Sienna: “I… I love it…”
Ikiro: “It’s good?”
Sienna: “No…..”
Ikiro frowns….
Sienna: “It’s absolutely perfect.”
Ikiro: “Ah, Sienna trying to make EyeYoshi feel bad, almost work.”
Sienna: “But it didn’t, come here I have a gift for you….”
She brings him in as they passionately kiss, the two spend a moment together, not worrying about time or place. Sienna is not being fully honest with Ikiro, she does still have feelings for Chris Cannon, she wants his attention, doing anything to get it not realizing that sooner or later everything will catch up soon…..
And yet she will still ring in the New Year with someone she loves….
40 Minutes Later
It is only about two minutes left before the year turns to 2019. Everyone from the Beauty Factory is in the Atrium, they had reserved the place thanks to Laura. She sat at the bar, happy with her accomplishments. All she needed was for the Twins to be tag team champions and even though they lost tot eh Street Legacy, a match that can be at some point rectified but not tonight, Bound by Blood was there moment and even though it didn’t end in a high note, they have a lot to build upon. Laura looked over at London and Paris, her eyes narrowed a little…
She then looked at Sienna, her sister was not able to join them due to her skull fracture and injured, she couldn’t travel. Feeling bad and remorse for taking something away from Sienna, a chance to spend time with her sister, Laura wanted to make up for it and while she was still recovering, the Fashionista made sure she was well taken care of….
Laura looks over at Sienna, then back at the Twins…. And then Sienna….
Thinking back to the other day….
Beauty Factory
Two Days Earlier
Laura sat in her office, looking over the resumes of potential clients. Wearing a white suit, blue blouse and matching heels, as she takes notes, looking up at the screen, a small message appears in her email notifications….
Monthly Security Report
She clicks on it, there is a file, the new security system was installed a month prior, it sends the recorded footage to her. She pays it no attention at first and then thinks about it for a moment, clicking on the file, the footage starts to play, there are hours, she rolls her eyes, not having time to look through it when suddenly, Sierra Swann appears walking by the runway and then on it. Laura, grabs her glasses, puts them on and clicks to forward the footage when she sees the Truelove Twins and LEO appear….
Her eyes widen as she finally witnesses what had really happened and sees Sierra take the bad fall from Paris. LEO then grabs her foot and breaks the heel, they walk off.
Laura lowers her head and sighs…..
Laura: “Damn it.”
SCW EOTY Special
Toronto, Ontario
The Fashionista focuses n her Beauty Factory, looking on. The countdown to the New Year starts, it was a successful one and she looks forward to see what happens in 2019….
Long as it doesn’t explode in her face….
10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1….
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
WANTED ATTENTION
When Sienna had sought out for Chris Cannon’s attention the very first thing, she was looking for from the man they had dubbed Superman, was his help in her recovery from substance abuse. The gorgeous Swann was having difficulty, getting caught up with all the rigors of the schedule she had, Sienna did not have an easy one, always working, never taking much of a break, constantly on the road or traveling, if it wasn’t modelling or some photoshoot it was in the gym training for her next match and so on. Sienna was always on the move, never stopping so she wasn’t getting much sleep, it started with sleeping pills to help her there, then the use of alcohol kicked in which her family had a history of abuse, and it didn’t end there, at times she would hit something harder like cocaine, always keeping it from SCW for if there was random drug testing or she ever had anyone tell on her, the career of Sienna Swann who curtail and she would find herself in a lot of trouble….
There was one man that could do that more than anyone, and that was Chris Cannon.
Even after her advances at the expense of Sienna’s defense, she couldn’t control herself, Chris Cannon was a conquest she always wanted and could never get. It became volatile when he stopped showing up to the AA meetings. Everyone became worried about Sienna, they didn’t know what her next step would be, if she would go into remission, fall off the wagon as they say if he had abandoned her during this difficult journey, she’d taken….
That was the case.
Sienna tried hard to fight the urge, that didn’t work the way she had planned. She was surprised and extremely hurt when Chris who had promised he would stand by her side, left Sienna and pretty much allowed her to deal with it all on her own. She couldn’t of course and snapped. That left Sienna reeling, she looked for help elsewhere and it was just not the same for her, in her mind then it had to be him. It had to be Chris Cannon. The gorgeous South African former Beauty Queen fell back into her own trap until realizing that it was just not worth it, she couldn’t allow for Chris to get the satisfaction anymore. She devised a plan of her own and knew what was most important for Chris….
His family.
So, she was going to eliminate them one at a time.
Starting with his son, Christian.
Sienna set him up going into the New Year, recording part of a conversation they had when she went over to visit the house knowing that neither Chris nor Kelcey were there. The Angel enticed him, dragged him in and soon he found himself reeling back, saying some things that she could use against him….
With Jennifer Helms.
Chris didn’t appreciate it very much after finding out what happened and had a response for Sienna, one that she didn’t expect, threatening to take away her World Championship and everything that she had already. That was not what Sienna had in mind, the intentions to make him an enemy and now that apparently, he was, she wasn’t going to allow him to take what she cherished, instead she would do something that he never expected….
Break Chris Cannon.
Santa Monica, CA.
1.4.19
There was no doubt that the relationship between Sienna and Regan was rocky at best, the gorgeous Angel wanted for Jennifer Helms, the adopted daughter of Regan to understand that she was on her side and was not going to allow anything to happen to her. Sienna had made a promise to protect Jennifer and while that didn’t exactly fall through thanks to the racy pictures of Lancelot Crane and what he had done with Jennifer’s shoot, Sienna had to at least attempt to salvage something….
She needed her plan to work however and Jennifer was a viable part of it.
Sienna had been standing at the house, all her things had been finally moved out, her new home had all the furnishings set, the last bit of trucks here loaded. She was in jeans, thong sandals and a Victoria Secret t-shirt, her long hair hung down and nails polished a matte red. She saw the red Fiat of Jennifer pull up as the last of the box were being loaded by the movers and she had the cleaners show up. The tall and beautiful Helms, wearing jeans, sandals and a black Gucci t-shirt and jacket, nails polished a baby pink. She walks up to Sienna at the bottom of the stairs …
Sienna: “Hey.”
Jennifer: “Hey… So mom told me you were finishing moving today.”
Sienna: “Yeah, I’m going to miss this house that’s for sure had a lot of fond memories here…”
Jennifer: “Yeah… I imagine so… Exciting times, though right?”
Jennifer was talking about moving out, but there was something underlying beneath her tone Sienna caught wind of…
Sienna: “Jennifer, listen sweetie, I know that I have screwed up with this whole Lancelot Crane stuff, and I know your mom hates me right now, this business dealing we have going on with the Beauty Factory and The Network is not exactly what I had envisioned when it was proposed to me.”
Jennifer: “Yeah I know…”
Sienna: “Do you because you’re not convincing me that you really do… You must believe me I didn’t know about the attack, Regan needs to believe me on that as well. Besides, this whole thing with Christian? It’s easy to make me out to be the villain here. I’m not, I care about you, Regan and David. I understand why Regan did this, I wasn’t happy at first, I’ll admit it took me a bit to see her point, but she was right. I do have a lot of money I am just sitting on, might as well spend it, right?”
Jennifer: “That’s one way of looking at it, yes. As for whatever is going on with you and mom? You two need to fix it. But I think you and I both know Laura is the driving force behind it.”
Sienna: “She is also the reason we are in the positions we are in.”
Jennifer: “Really? Because I think it sucks.”
Sienna was a bit surprised by the young Helms answer….
Sienna: “What are you saying, sweetie? Laura signed you to a multi-million-dollar contract in modelling and was able to get you a guaranteed SCW contract starting with EMERGE, you don’t have to beg anyone or even impress the brass, you will be in SCW one day.”
Jennifer: “Whoopie!”
That sarcasm was obvious, Sienna could tell something was seriously bothering the young Helms… If her plan was to work, she needed her on board so looked to do damage control, she just had to figure out what it was and was about to…
Sienna: “Look, I get that you are angry because of Regan, she had nothing to do with that…”
Jennifer: “That isn’t it, I met with Laura and I asked for my release from the contract.”
Sienna: “What? Wait… why!?”
Jennifer: “I will NEVER side against my mother Sienna, you do realize that.”
Sienna: “I wouldn’t expect anything less. But that’s not the point here.”
Jennifer: “Isn’t it?!”
Sienna: “NO! You would be throwing your career away; do you know what she can do for you? Look what she has done for me? Laura cares about ALL her clients, she sees a bright future here with us, especially you.”
Jennifer: “Doesn’t matter.”
Sienna: “What do you mean it doesn’t matter…. Oh…. Excuse me Jenni, Hey….”
Something caught the attention of Sienna’s eyes as the movers were slowly getting things out, she walked over and started to instruct them on a few things….
Sienna: “Please be careful, there are things that are very valuable and worth m…… worth a lot.”
Mover: “Yes Ms. Swann, we will take care of it, apologies.”
Sienna: “It’s okay sweetie.”
She was about to say that the contents of the box were worth more than what they make in a year but caught herself especially in front of Jennifer. The last thing she wanted was to make herself look like a bitch in front of Jennifer, she needed to play the sweet and innocent victim though she was far from it. Sienna headed back to Jenni….
Jennifer: “You handled that well.”
Sienna: “Thanks. So, changing subjects entirely did you do what I suggested?”
Jennifer: “Yeah, I did. He’ll be here soon. I told him not to tell Chris or Kelcey, he says he didn’t.”
Sienna: “I just want to clear the air. That is all, I don’t want there to be resentment between us, I already told you what I think, you are so much better than him, I’m not you though. I want you to be happy and if he makes you happy so be it.”
Jennifer: “I know what he said hurt.”
Sienna: “To tell me that Chris wishes I was dead? It stung a little, yeah. His words of hate were very unwarranted and yes, they bothered me a lot. If I allowed every single person who disliked me get to me like that, I wouldn’t be a World Champion, or the Face of Fashion now would I? I just don’t want you making some mistakes that could be avoided.”
Jennifer: “You do understand everything that he has done for me don’t you?”
The Angel nods and places her arm around Jenni….
Sienna: “Of course I do sweetie, but that doesn’t change the truth of things. See I know how you feel, my ex-fiancé, Jacob Knight…. We went to a Fashion Expo once, where I was still black balled. All the people in the expo when I walked in treated me like shit. Jacob saved me from that situation, he helped me believe in myself again. He was a reason I started to believe that I was doing the right thing by confessing to the Scandal which the fall out really took a toll on me and my family. Now tell me do you see him now?”
Jennifer: “No…”
Sienna: “Now I hate him, and life goes on. Of course, I’m not saying you need to hate Christian in anyway, all I am saying is you’re a beautiful young woman that at eighteen years old doesn’t need to be tied down, she doesn’t need to be with one guy for the rest of her life. Christian has done a lot for you but that was then, this is now.”
Jennifer: “Things change, I know. I know.”
Sienna: “Yes, I think now you are starting to understand.”
The truth was she wasn’t. She loved Christian, the young man saved her from a drug overdose and being with the wrong crowd. He befriended her when she had no one, made her believe in herself and supported Jennifer in everything that she had done. They bonded through the losses they had both suffered in their lives, him his mother and Jennifer her sister… It was hard for her because Jennifer also knew that Laura and Sienna would destroy him, and his immediate family given half the chance. Jennifer loves the Cannons, they treated her like she was their own daughter so watching what Sienna had done was too much but now that she was stuck in a contract with Laura and there was a $10 Million Dollar buy out, she was stuck, and no way would she tell Regan or David the situation was in. Jennifer didn’t know if Sienna was being sincere or lying to her, but she was leaning toward believing in what Christian was saying the truth….
Jennifer though needed to make a choice and it would be an incredibly hard one no matter what she decided…
Jennifer: “I am starting to understand.”
Sienna: “I will NOT tell you what to do, all I can say is this, is he the right person for you when you have this bright future and he’s what, still living at home?”
Jennifer: “I still live at home.”
Sienna: “Well…. That’s different.”
Jennifer: “Really?”
Sienna: “Look, don’t’ worry about that there is no ulterior motive here, do what you like at least give me the chance to clear the air, okay?”
Jennifer: “That’s why I agreed to this in the first place, I want everyone on the same page.”
Sienna smiles and starts to make her way back inside, turning around and slowly looking over her shoulder at Jennifer who is using her phone to text. She turns back and steps into the house and in the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water and staring at her phone on the counter….
It didn’t take long for her to remember the phone conversation she had with Chris Cannon on New Year’s Day, apparently after Christian told he and Kelcey about what had happened with him and Sienna. The Angel coerced him into saying some very nasty things about her and recorded part of the conversation. When Chris called her, she was ecstatic, little did she know that he was about to challenge and make sure that she never messed with his family again…..
Three Days Ago
She stood there in shorts, barefoot with her nails polished a matte red, a tank top on, looking out at the beach from the deck….
Sienna: “That’s cute sweetie, what are you going to do? Be the good boy scout and tell SCW about what I’ve done tonight, or are you going to go against your word as a human being who supposedly cares and tell them about my problems?”
Chris: “That would be the easy way out, but then I’m not Ravyn Taylor, or Bree or even my brother Scott. I am me and I want to see you’re better and to do that I’m going to do my best to take everything from you just like you have tried to do to me. You’ve tried to ruin my marriage; my career fucking life and it’s going to stop now. Do I make myself clear? I don’t know HOW I’ll do it yet, but I know making sure you’re no longer World Champion will be a good start. I just hope I can do enough to make sure it’s me who takes it from you. Because I think THAT is the only way you’re going to learn.”
Sienna: “Oh yeah sure, I’ll believe that when I see it Chris. You’re not on my level, I was doing you a favor by trying to elevate you to my level, but I realize you’re never will be because you’re just not that good. You’re not Kelcey who had all the real talent in your relationship. Your family is a joke in this business, nothing but criminals the lot of you. You’re the worst because you stole my heart but now, I’ve taken it back.”
Chris: “I never stole your heart, I never wanted it to begin with. If anything, I wanted friendship and now that’s never going to happen. You’ve burned this bridge Sienna, that’s it. Next time I see you will be in SCW and if find out you’ve been near my family, there will be fucking hell to pay. Do you understand?”
Sienna: “Oh I un-“
Before she could finish her sentence, he had hung up on her….
Sienna: “Hello? Hello?”
Her voice started getting louder and louder….
Sienna: “Hello!? HELLO!?”
She pulled the phone from her ear and looked on the screen, noticing that the call had ended, it was at this moment that she realized that Chris Cannon hung up on her….
Sienna: “Chris!? He didn’t hang up on me!? He didn’t! He didn’t!”
The gorgeous South African Beauty Queen launched her phone half way across the deck smashing the wall on impact. She stormed inside, slamming the sliding glass door shut, screaming from the top of her lungs. Most of the house was packed up in boxes, she kicked one over, hurt her foot in the process and yet didn’t care. All she wanted to do was talk to Chris Cannon and he instead raked her over the coals. After all she did to get him to help her with the addiction and then seeing how he broke his promise, she couldn’t believe his threats, taking what she had, the World Championship…..
Falling against the wall, she slid down to the floor and starts to sob, filled with anger and hatred, she let out another scream, kicked and punched the floor a few times before finally stopping, her eyes were closed shut, she was breathing heavily trying to calm down….
After a few minutes the tears stopped as the innerworkings of her mind begun to formulate something…..
Suddenly a smile started to form on her face before some laughter erupted when she realized….
After everything she had tried it was her visit and talk to Christian which led to Sienna finally having Chris Cannon’s undivided attention.
Three Days Later
She sipped her water again when the sliding glass door opened, Jennifer walked in, Christian Cannon was right behind, Sienna looked over, her blue eyes narrowed, standing her ground and waiting for Jennifer to initiate the conversation….
Christian: “I don’t even know why I am here, I only came for her.”
Sienna said nothing, looking at the young man wearing jeans, sneakers and a long sleeve pull over shirt. Sienna knew what she did to him was wrong, somehow though still justifying her own actions because of what his father did to her….
Christian: “What do you want me to say, Jenni? I was trying to be nice to her after everything that she has done to try and seduce my father and break up his marriage with Kelcey.”
Sienna: “Is that what you think of me?”
Christian: “What I think of you right now isn’t important, what my father and Kelcey think of you, is. You came over and crossed the line, your intentions the entire time was to do this, when I finally thought that maybe you were telling me the truth you made derogatory remarks about Chris which I won’t repeat here in front of Jennifer.”
The World Champion turns around, leaning her buttocks against the counter comfortably. She cracks a smirk and folds her arms….
Sienna: “Tell her the truth.”
Christian: “I did.”
Sienna: “Really…. Jennifer, three days ago his father calls me on New Year’s Day, Christian here had mentioned that he wishes I was dead, Chris wanted to clear that up and was extremely apologetic for it. Matter of fact, he offered his hand in friendship because he KNEW that his son was WAY out of line.”
Christian: “What? That isn’t true. How can you stand there and lie like that!?”
Sienna: “Lie, sweetie? Lie? Really? The only liar I see here is you, but I shouldn’t be shocked you do have some of that Cannon gene in you. Did you know his uncles before coming to his states were in prison?”
Jennifer: “No… I didn’t know that. Is that true?”
Christian: “Unfortunately… Not like it matters now, they created new lives for themselves here.”
Sienna: “Yes, but knowing you never mentioned to her before well it’s telling isn’t it? See I wanted Jennifer to see what type of person you were. See, the real reason you hate me so much? Is because you wanted me didn’t you.”
Christian: “WHAT?!”
Sienna looked down at her angelic feet, feet that were worth a million dollars all to themselves and bits her bottom lip… To her she was giving a truly Oscar worthy performance…
Sienna: “The truth is Jennifer, he made an advancement toward me when I came to visit him, I didn’t want to say anything, that is why he became so violent and belligerent, sweetie, when I pushed him away, he went off on a tirade and….”
Christian just stood there in absolute shock, watching this woman completely castrate his character in front of the love of his life….
What made it worse for him was the look on Jennifer’s face….
Christian: “You’re not really believing this bullshit, are you?”
Jennifer: “I don’t know what to believe anymore.”
Christian: “C’mon Jenni….”
Sienna: “Hey, eye’s front and center I’m not done.”
He turns his attention back to Sienna, even taking a few steps closer to her this time which surprised her a little….
Christian: “No, you are done. These are lies and out of respect for Jennifer, I am leaving and not going to engage in this garbage and watch you try to sabotage and destroy what I have built with her out of petty jealousy all due to my father wanting to be with a real woman and not some harlot like you.”
Sienna: “Harlot!? Do you want to know what kind of man, your father is? The kind that had to call me and apologize to me for the words you spoke because HE KNEW they were out of line. Did you know that last year, after Kelcey’s last match, while she was asleep, he came over to my room?”
Christian’s eyes widen….
Christian: “What?!”
Sienna: “See, Christian, you think that all the facts are laid out for you in front of your face, they are not. You have absolutely NO IDEA how far this goes and what I have actually done with him. I will gladly tell you everything. Jennifer here, she is innocent, she doesn’t deserve to be a part of this. She understands that I did make some advances to Chris and he turned me down. I finally was able to muster up enough courage to come to you and apologize, tell you all that I made a mistake and I wanted to make amends and you decided it was a better idea to try and take advantage of me in such an emotional state….”
Christian: “I don’t’ believe this, I can’t listen to it anymore, everyone is right you are a sick woman Sienna that needs help. I don’t know what happened to you in the last year or so but your obsession with my father has turned you into a raging lunatic and I am not going to let Jennifer be a part of that.”
He grabs Jennifer’s hand and goes toward the door, but the beautiful young Helms doesn’t budge. A bit shocked, he turns toward her in a state of confusion….
Christian: “Jenni, let’s go?”
Jennifer: “I can’t Christian…”
Christian: “You can’t what?”
Jennifer: “I can’t go with you.”
Christian: “I…. I don’t follow?”
Jennifer: “She’s right… Sienna is right…”
His eyes widen again, Sienna cracks a smirk….
Christian: “Right about what?”
Jennifer: “About us. I’m too good for you now… It was fun while it lasted but…”
Christian: “Jenni? I…. this isn’t you talking here. You can’t be serious? You don’t have to be in character, you’re not in front of a bloody camera, this is us we are talking about here? Don’t let that woman ruin things between us because she couldn’t get my father in the sack…”
Jennifer: “I’m not in character, Christian. Sienna is right, things change, you have been so good to me and have always been there, but times are different now. Let’s be honest, you are just Christian, a simple dude, you have no fashion sense, actually a little boring, and you think it’s okay to pick fights with Sienna….?”
Christian: “Why don’t we go outside and speak in private then?”
Jennifer: “Private? No, how about we just speak right now. How about I tell you I can’t do this anymore. I can’t. You are NOT in my league anymore Christian, can’t you get that through your thick fucking skull!?”
That outburst not only caught the young Cannon off guard, but Sienna as well. She didn’t expect that to happen…
Christian: “No I won’t accept that, this isn’t happening. After all we’ve been through, all I did for you?! What the hell Jennifer?!”
Jennifer: “I know I owe you a lot and we had a good ride and all but it’s over. In spite of everything I can’t forgive you for what you said to Sienna, what your father has done, what this has become. You need to just get out of here, we are done do you hear me, DONE!”
Christian: “You don’t mean that.”
Sienna continues to watch, amused in the inside, smiling ear to ear but her demeanor is that of serious, happy that Jennifer did indeed listen to what she had to say and not brush it off as something else. Part of her was shocked and surprised that she took this route, Sienna did not expect for Jennifer to be so brash and even at times brutally honest with him. She kept silent, watching Helms tear the heart out of Christian’s chest….
She wished she had a camera to record this moment…
Jennifer: “I do mean that. I am part of the beauty Factory and you’ve never been able to accept that because of your parents.”
Christian: “Yet it is okay that they are involved on the ambush that happened to your mom?”
Jennifer: “What happens with my mother is MY business, not yours just like what happens between Sienna and your dad is his business and not yours!”
Christian: “Just take a minute to stop and listen to yourself Jennifer, this is not you, I don’t know what she said to you, this is not you and I don’t understand why this is happening right now. You don’t NEED her or the Beauty Factory, we both know they are using you!”
Sienna finally cuts in….
Sienna: “Using her? She was signed to a contract that is worth more than anything you and the rest of your family own, combined. No one is being used, the problem is you are jealous of the level of attention she is receiving, how her face and body are all over billboards and commercials. You can’t stand it because in your feeble little mind you think you’d lose her anyway if you didn’t keep her sweet Jenni from the valley, right? No Christian, I told you the last time we talked, just the two of us before you verbally assaulted me like that and your petty advances that I….”
Just as the movers came back in to grab the last few boxes, Christian had enough, swiping the bottle of water from the counter and splashing it in Sienna’s face. The South African beauty stood there stunned, mouth open, wide eyed as he then threw the bottle, hitting her right in the face, Jennifer looked on, she didn’t know how she felt, somewhat amused and deep down inside, thinking maybe Sienna deserved it. For Jennifer though, this was hard to do, she knew why she was doing it….
Sienna: “How dare you!?”
Jennifer: “Christian, get the fuck out now!”
Christian: “Not without you, Jenni this is bloody absurd!”
Jennifer: “Get out! Go, we are done, I can’t do this anymore.”
Jennifer immediately jumped in between Christian and Sienna and pushed him away, the young Cannon stumbling back a few steps, the movers trying to get out of the way before they became collateral damage…
Christian: “Jenni…. Come on, you don’t mean that. She is poison!”
Jennifer: “No, she is right! LEAVE! You’ll never amount anything in your life, you’re living easy! I don’t want easy I want challenges, I want to grow as woman, you just want to settle. Get out now before I kick your ass myself.”
He doesn’t say another word, Jennifer had to almost physically hold Sienna back from attacking Christian after turning to her. The dejected young man, started to form some tears in his eyes, Jennifer had to stand her ground and show absolutely no emotion. She pointed toward the door with a scowl on her face as he finally lowered his head and started to walk out….
Sienna: “That’s right, just walk away. Don’t come back you little shit.”
Sienna adding insult to injury. Once Christian left, Jennifer walked over into the kitchen and handed Sienna a towel….
Sienna: “Thank you, can you believe he did that?”
Jennifer: “I know, I’m sorry.”
Sienna: “No, no you did the right thing. I know it was hard but he’s a liar and a weasel. Did you see him here now? Was I wrong?”
Jennifer: “No, you’re not wrong. Look… I need to go, are you going to be okay, here?”
Sienna: “Absolutely sweetie, I’ll find a mop somewhere and clean this mess up…”
Jennifer smiles, she is about to walk away when Sienna brings her in for a hug, they embrace for a moment….
Sienna: “I love you so much you know. Thank you for having my back. You made the right choice, I have been there, and it hurts for a bit and quickly goes away when you look like us.”
Jennifer: “I know. Take care.”
Sienna: “You too.”
As Jennifer leaves, Sienna looks on, drying herself off, upset that he had the audacity to throw water on her but watching what had just occurred brought a tear of joy to her eyes. Seeing a Cannon suffer was enough to bring a smile on her face. She wasn’t through though, this was only the beginning.
Outside, Jennifer stepped into her car, she hit reverse and drove off, once she was able to get away from the house, turning the corner she pulled into a parking lot, put the car in park and sat there for a moment gripping the steering wheel. Suddenly her lips began to quiver, and the tears started pouring from her eyes. She loves Christian, she believed him, not Sienna and yet in the current state she’s in it was about maintaining appearances. Christian was always going to be a target of the Beauty Factory, whether it was because Chris Cannon was his father, or he was with Jennifer. The only way they would know was if she broke ties with him, becoming a non-factor….
Jennifer wasn’t getting out of Laura’s contract and Regan nor David were going to find out.
She let Christian go to protect him, not because she didn’t love him. If anything, she saw a life together with him, at one point they were going to marry….
And now because of her decisions and the fear she has of Sienna and The Beauty Factory on just how far they would go, she had to do the hardest thing ever besides bury her sister….
Break the heart of the only man she ever loved for she never wanted to do this….
She had to.
EPILOGUE: SEE NO EVIL
It was an unfortunate accident that happened to Sierra Swann, falling from the runway at the Beauty Factory studios. It was thought that her heel had broken, and she took a nasty spill fracturing her skull, many were extremely concerned for her. She was unconscious for a few days and she woke up, Sierra had lost her short-term memory. The Doctor’s hope that they do come back in time as her prognosis was a success. She was released shortly after and found herself staying with her mother until she recovered. Sienna’s father was always on the road these days, so some company for Amanda would be actually a blessing. With everything going on in sienna’s life and career, she started to try and put the pieces back together again. One thing Sienna had planned was to become an outstanding member of the community, start to do more charities, get her face out there, she had a million-dollar smile so there was nothing more marketable than that. Sienna had a plan, needing to get others on her side. With a huge match approaching and a chance at making some history against Syren and Cassidy Carter, Sienna walked into this match with focus but in order to be sure and have her life straight, being at peace with herself, Sienna first and foremost needed to put the wheels in motion, first by being a good daughter and sister, in the eyes of the people, a contributor and finally…..
Winning the game, she started last year.
What exactly did that mean?
Only Sienna knew.
Santa Monica, CA.
The Following Day
Sienna stopped by the AA Meeting, she slowly started to go back, an exemplary member that many at times were quite surprised considering she was extremely introverted at first, always keeping to herself and only coming out when Chris was there. Sienna needed to show that she didn’t need him, she also wanted Rick to report back to her mother, tell her exactly what she was doing, know that the focus was there, she didn’t lie to her….
Sienna needed her mother on her side.
Wearing jeans, elevated open toed wedge sandals, a white blouse, her nails polished a matte red and long hair slicked back in a ponytail, Sienna looked over at Rick while they sat in a circle with 15 others and spoke about their addiction….
Sienna: “I have taken a long road to get here. I was doing really good for quite some time and then I allowed for misplaced love to destroy that. Sometimes, you must eliminate all the cancers and poisons in your life for this to work. It is not a journey that you take alone. My mother and father were addicts, I tried my best to get them the best help they could and in time they were able to kick the habit. That doesn’t mean now that I have been able to kick my own, considering I fell victim to my own vices and never was able to get back on track after I “fell off the wagon”. I have a very demanding career, as most of you know, I am a model by trade and a wrestler by choice. I was scared to come back and now I want to give to this community, to the people who took their time to help me now in my desperate need. I used to think that ne man was able to control me, it was a mistake I made that I hope never to do again.”
Rick: “What brought you back here to AA, Sienna?”
Sienna: “The fear of losing my life to something so stupid as to giving so much power to one man. They don’t deserve that power.”
The other members sitting around all shake their heads, agreeing with Sienna. The very emotional and sincere Swann, leans in her chair, making eye contact with the others in the circle…
Sienna: “I think that is one of the mistakes so many women make, we become so powerless, don’t even know what to do that instead we transfer everything that us as individuals should hold whether it is confidence, strength or love and suddenly deflect on to others and then you are betrayed because they have it now and control your every move. It is like alcohol and drugs, once you are on them, the inhibitions are gone, the decision making is taken out of your hands. I have been drugged up on photoshoots, I even passed out once because of it. I have woken up the next morning in my hotel room, not knowing how I even was able to get there, waking up without clothes or wearing something else that I didn’t have before. Strange people lying next to me. It is easy to think that we have it all, yet addiction takes it away. In my case, I simply put trust in a man that didn’t understand me, he didn’t want to see the real me and when I tried to show him, he felt it was more important to be selfish and allow me to take this journey on my own. It took me a few months to realize, I am not by myself, I have all of you.”
Everyone claps, Sienna smiles, turning to Rick who seems not only pleased that she is doing much better and showing progression but that she is opening up to the meeting and sharing some real heart felt stories that have a huge impact on those sitting around her. Sienna has a voice and a platform to use, it is whether she chooses that or not is the question….
Rick: “Thank you Sienna for that. It was very brave of her to come and speak to us today, it took me some time to get her back, but I knew that somehow and someway Sienna would see herself back home where she belongs, with us even without her sponsor. I am extremely proud of this woman, this is what makes my job so rewarding. See, Sienna is wealthy, she could have gone to Betty Ford or a private group where she is protected, she chose us instead and that means so much here to all of us that we are lucky to have her be a part of our gathering. That concludes today, thank you for coming.”
The meeting broke out, Sienna stands up and smiles to many, shaking hands, hugging a few….
Woman: “Your story is so inspirational to me.”
Sienna: “You are welcome sweetie, anything you ever need, do not hesitate to ask.”
Woman: “Thank you so much.”
As the woman leaves, Rick approaches Sienna….
Rick: “You were amazing out there. Thank you for keeping that promise.”
Sienna: “I just have a new lease on life. I am able to help people then that’s exactly what I will do. I have so many resources that I never use, it’s time that I do something about it. I want to be a part of something special, Rick. This place, it has been my hideaway, what you’ve done for me has been incredible, so I want to help fix it up, get some catering here so that we can have longer meetings. Buy some new chairs, maybe equipment….”
Rick: “You do NOT have to do that.”
Sienna: “I know that I don’t have to, I want to. It’s the least I can do for everything that you have done for me Rick. Please, let me. You have worked with my mum, my family, again Rick, you know I have the resources.”
Rick: “I do. I don’t want you to feel obligated, okay?”
Sienna: “I don’t. I need to go, having lunch with my mum and sister.”
Rick: “How is Sierra by the way?”
Sienna: “She’s better, still has memory loss, but we are hoping that she recovers soon.”
Rick: “Great news. Tell your mom I said hello.”
Sienna: “I will….”
The two engage in an embrace before Sienna walks out to her car, she has a huge smile on her face knowing that this morning she just won everyone over with her speech and kindness, it was all part of the plan. She was headed to her mothers, to check up on her sister and spend some time with her family. It was important to her, building that bond once again especially with what she had planned moving forward. Sienna was about fixing her image….
Is the only way she would win this game.
Swann Home
Hollywood Hills, CA.
Thirty Minutes Later
Sienna had also moved up into the hills, probably ten minutes or so from her mother. Still waiting for cable and a few things to be connected, she was in between homes. The move was almost done and now she could start another chapter in her life. She had arrived, pulling in she walked up to the door, opened it and walked in. Sierra was on the couch reading, the television on in the background, she was wearing a summer dress, barefoot, her nails polished a glossy color, Amanda was outside painting….
Sierra: “Hi!”
Sienna: “Hey little sis, how are you doing, sweetie?”
The sister kiss each other on each cheek….
Sierra: “Much better now that you are here. I wish I could remember things, it’s really frustrating. Mum had me go through some recent photo albums and movies, trying to jargon my memory.”
Sienna: “Take it easy, it won’t happen overnight. The doctors expect you to recover, so do I, just give it some time, it will happen.”
Sierra: “I know… I just feel like there is this huge gap, the last thing I remember is us hating one another, we were at each other’s throats. Then suddenly you and I are friendly?”
Sienna: “You were supposed to meet me for sushi the night of your accident. You never showed. We had some conversations, things were starting to look up.”
Sierra: “And Laura Steinbeck? I mean, she signed me? Wow.”
Sienna: “You’re a Swann sweetie, she can do wonders for your career. That’s not important right now, what is that you relax, work on regaining your memory and I think that in time everything is going to come back to you. I have faith in that. Don’t allow it to stress you out, I’m here for you, so is mum.”
The younger Swann smiles, showing her appreciation to big sister….
Sierra: “That means the world to me.”
Sienna: “Me too. I’m going to say hello to mum outside, I’ll be back in a few.”
Sierra: “Okay.”
After the short conversation, Sienna walks outside where Amanda is working on a painting, facing the panoramic view of the valley….
Sienna: “Mum?”
Amanda: “Sienna!? I thought I heard you.”
They share a kiss on the cheek….
Amanda: “Rick just called me, he said that you were such an inspiration to everyone there and that you even offered to help renovate the AA center? Is that true?”
Sienna: “I want to give back to everyone and everything that has helped me through this journey, it’s extremely important to me. They have been so kind and considerate with me. Rick stood by me and well, I need to somehow show that I do appreciate everything that has been done for me. The Scandal maybe what? 6-7 years removed, it would be nice for once to see some positive news about me. They don’t know the real me, mum, the person who was raised by the greatest parents any child can have.”
Amanda: “You make me so damn proud. There were times when I was upset that I couldn’t control what was going on, I really had no idea what I was going to do and then you suddenly just blossomed and matured in front of my eyes.”
Sienna: “You believe in me mum. That’s all what matters. You never gave up on me, I never gave up on you. All I ever wanted was this family to be happy, you and I both know that.”
Amanda: “Yes and I appreciate your efforts. I’m worried about Sierra.”
She slowly turns to see her sister inside, reading, then looking back at the TV….
Sienna: “No progress?”
Amanda: “None. It’s been a few weeks now and still nothing. I don’t know, sweetheart. She is trying but there may be a chance that she will never regain that memory.”
Sienna: “Mum, what if this was for the best? I mean a lot went on in the last year between her and the family. Some memories are not worth bringing back, right?”
Amanda: “Sienna….”
Sienna: “I know…. I know. You’re right. It seems like we are really getting along now and that is weighing in on my feelings toward this. It’s nice.”
Amanda: “It is, I finally have my two daughters with me, and I feel whole again. I’m so happy that you grew up to be such an upstanding woman. You hold so much power and influence, I’m glad that you are feeling like it is time to use it. I made some ginger lemonade, I also have some scones in the pantry?”
Sienna: “I need to watch my figure mum…. YES.”
Amanda smiles, letting out a small giggle. She walks inside with Sienna, Sierra looks up as her sister sits next to her. Amanda heads to the kitchen, Sienna looks over at the TV, the local news is on….
Sienna: “Mum is happy that you are at least home. I know that you are going to get better, it’s just going to take some time. For now, though let’s enjoy the moment, right?”
Sierra: “I’d like that. I’m just trying so hard to think about the night this happened, I can’t remember anything, I can’t believe I was that clumsy and stupid.”
Sienna: “You remember that time mum bought us the trampoline?”
Sierra: “Yes! And I jumped so high, I bounced right off and landed on my bum.”
Sienna: “You were bruised for lie two bloody weeks!”
Sierra: “I couldn’t even sit! I had a date a few days later, what was his name….”
Sienna: “Joey.”
Sierra: “Oh, bloody hell, yes! Joey. He was hot.”
Sienna: “No sweetie, he was cute, Trevor was hot.”
Sierra tilts her head and starts to giggle. Amanda walks out with a tray of scones and lemonade, just the sight of seeing her two daughters laughing and getting along, sharing past moments almost brought a tear to her eye. She slowly comes over and places the tray on the table, Sienna and Sierra both gesture her to sit, pouring some lemonade….
Amanda: “I need to treasure these moments. What do you say we take a picture? Post it on that Instagram thing?”
Sienna: “Mum? You have Instagram?”
Amanda: “Well, yes, Sierra set me up with one.”
Sienna: “Really?”
Sierra: “Guilty as charged.”
Sienna: “Well then mum, get your phone out.”
Amanda: “Okay, hold on, I don’t have a selfie-stick.”
Sienna looked a bit surprised that her mother who usually tends to deal with the garden and her paintings would be so technologically sound….
Sienna: “A selfie-stick? Tell me you taught her that too?”
Sierra: “Like a year ago. While we were living with you I think.”
Sienna: “Really. Well… take the pic mum.”
Amanda, Sienna and Sierra position themselves, she then takes several pictures of her happily with her daughters by her side….
Amanda: “They look great, I love you two so much, this makes me so happy.”
Sierra: “It really does.”
Sienna: “Me too, for the first time in a long time, I’m so happy to be home together with my family. We have had our struggles, but I think with a new year starts a new beginning and….”
Before Sienna could finish her sentence, the television caught her eye, a familiar person in her life was on it, being interviewed, that person being none other than Kelcey Wallace. Sienna started to zone out the rest of the conversation with her mom and sister, solely focusing on Kelcey…..
Amanda: “Everything okay?”
Sienna: “Sierra… turn the volume up.”
Sierra: “Sure, everything alright?”
Sienna: “Yeah…. Shhh….”
Sienna’s eyes widened, it was almost like seeing Kelcey hypnotized the World Champion as she spoke….
Reporter: “…. And for the last year, you’ve been working on this project here in the City of Los Angeles?”
Kelcey: “Yes, its very close to my heart and family. Parkinson’s Disease is so debilitating and affects millions of people around the globe a year. For the last year, since I had to retire from wrestling, it has been a dream of mine to help those that are in need, much like me. There is no cure, we need to find one which is why I have opened up the “Perfect Cure” Foundation in the Research of Parkinson’s Disease. I’m extremely excited to be partnering up with Supreme Championship Wrestling and its owner, Mr. D, who has been a huge help and such an inspiration for me, he’s like a father figure. Now though it is up to you, the people to start giving a donation so that we can fight this disease together and find a cure.”
Reporter: “That’s an incredible accomplishment and such a great cause, like cancer and so many other diseases, they need to be funded, through non-profit?”
Kelcey: “Absolutely, ALL donations, 100% of it love, go to the “Perfect Cure”, it is extremely important and if we raise enough money, we will be able to start working with Doctors and medical professionals to fund so many different kinds of studies to continue their work and progress in the knowledge of this rare and very dangerous disease. There are celebrities who have already established foundations but this one here will open up those studies free to trial patients but the only way we can do that is by securing donations so please, any little bit will help.”
Reporter: “And you do have a number for us? Also, there will be a Press Conference next week?”
Kelcey: “Yes, at Cedars Sinai Hospital, we will have a press conference to unveil the Foundation and how it will affect so many people in need, globally. I am super excited and just to know that I can fight this Disease just like I did countless opponents in the ring, it’s Perfect.”
Reporter: “It is Perfect, and the number?”
Kelcey: “Yes, it’s 715-555-3765.”
Reporter: “Thank you so much for joining us Kelcey, is there anything else you would like to say?”
Kelcey: “Yes…. This….”
As Kelcey kept on talking, Sienna’s ice blue eyes started to narrow more and more, it was like she couldn’t take her eyes off the Perfect Ten, former adversary and now advocate for Parkinson’s Disease. Amanda was gushing with emotions as she knew Kelcey. Sierra may have short term memory loss, but she remembered just how much Sienna wanted to be like her and despised her for it….
Amanda: “I’m so glad Kelcey is doing that, she deserves to be happy.”
Sienna didn’t mutter a word, instead her cold stare was directed right at the TV while Kelcey spoke….
Kelcey: “…. And we will all be there to sign autographs, take pictures and Mr. D along with several other SCW Superstars. So please, come out and let’s make it an afternoon.”
The Angel had seen enough but didn’t want to stop watching, instead she was staring at the only woman she was ever jealous of for so many reasons and now here was another. The darling of the SCW still even in retirement….
This time though, Sienna wasn’t going to allow it to happen….
Because the game was afoot.
SCENE FADES
REC:
“Debauchery….
Excessive indulgence in sensual pleasure is what the dictionary states. A Duchess, Cassidy Carter likes to put titles on herself that explain what she is, and you think for one moment this woman deserves to represent the SCW as its World Champion. A Triple Threat match has many implications, I don’t have to be pinned or submit to lose my title. The game changes when a third person is added, and anything could happen to me or anyone else in this match just ask Kennedy Street and Owen Cruze.
You must think I’m an idiot, Cassidy if for any moment of your miserable existence Duchess that I have not taken into consideration the threat you pose in the environment I have been forced into and only concentrate on Syren. No one thought Chris Cannon could beat Kennedy and the hot rookie Owen has been after winning the End of the Year Battle Royal?
It was a stretch….
In the SCW, anything can happen.
I’m not a fortune teller, I will never claim to have extraordinary powers though I times I seem like I do. Am I one to mesmerize with my beauty? Yes, do I stun the crowd with my wrestling prowess and fighting skills? Yes, and can I perform under duress and pressure even when the odds are against me?
Every single time.
You see Cassidy, we all like to indulge, your choices are various vices that somehow simplify your life and enhance your pleasure while excusing you from consequences, it’s called immaturity. I take it Ace is boring, if you always need that niche? I would hope not. I guess I can honestly say with truth behind every word I speak, I too am guilty of debauchery….
My sensual pleasures are the World Championship and the elite status I have garnered in my time wrestling for the SCW. I have vices, my personal ones I fought and defeated. In this profession though, they are called victory, like meth to an addict, I must get my fix, flowing through my blood stream, listening to the words of those that never once believed in my claims, suddenly praise the Heavenly Angel. You must understand Cassidy, that while you do not care about what wrestling in this sport truly means, instead rather party, waste space, destroy hotel rooms, tweet nonsense and pretend that what you do is legal and actually factual…..
Amuses me.
You may take this as a joke, a party or good time that when you win the World Championship things will be different, a unique take on a World Champion like your husband who had trouble holding on to the title for the same reason you will never win it….
His heart was never in the game, it was always on the show.
To you, this is like a cool idea, someone, probably Ace whispered in your ear that it would be awesome if you’d become the World Champion. Being at the right place and time worked for you and though during Fatal fortunes, yes, not even a scheduled match, the LUCK of the DRAW suddenly you are graced in the ring with me when I have been trying to get Syren in a match for seven months and you of all people interfere just like you took away my chance at revenge against Blake Mason, thinking for one split second in your little pea brain that this will be your night and continue to take away what I have demanded and earned?
You want to go all Scorched Earth on me? Syren? Really?
What if Syren and I decided to take you out of the equation and have our own war? For SEVEN months I have called out that woman, SEVEN long months and the bint responds after I have what she wants, just like you? Leeches, lampreys, parasites who wait until I do all the work only to try and steal it from me. Cassidy Carter, Rachel Foxx has gone off to coach Lingerie Football or maybe she’s doing something else, I don’t know or care. At least she understood the sport, she committed herself to becoming a World Champion against Syren and now her little protégé wants the same thing….
For different reasons.
To have a title and disrespect it, throwing away every single meaning and pissing on those who held it before you and fought in wars, I wish Regan Street had thrown you in the river when she had the chance and I wouldn’t have to deal with this any longer. I know you hate everything that I am. You will never have the power I amassed. You will never be seen or respected by the general public, those that I catch their eye the minute I step into any building or structure created by man in the entire planet. You will never be the World Champion that I have become. Your husband maybe talented, he has done things that no one else has and gets away with it, but sooner rather than later, everyone stops laughing. When I wrestled him not too long ago the message was not to beat him, it was to show that you two are fighting a battle you cannot win. I’m a woman of taste, I MATTER in the grand scheme of things, I am an important figure because I have created a brand, a trend and a movement so many aspiring women and men can follow. I have been idolized, a role model and face recognizable and trusted in all aspects of life. That is where I’ve been guilty of excessive indulgence…..
Obsessed with being part of an evolution for women all over the world to be respected and here comes someone like you which proves there is still a long way to go. You are no role model, no one to get behind, a person who is on the roster to simply annoy us and in doing so, you have energized my ire to knee you in the face and knock you out so I can finally stop hearing the vomit that oozes out of your mouth.
I will never dummy myself to you.
Cassidy Carter, this is not only the most important match of your measly and irrelevant career. It is also my chance to spit back in the face of Mr. D and Sasha who have chosen to somehow endorse you into being placed in this match out of pettiness in this little squabble thanks to their youngest who obviously was raised by monkeys and not her father. The SCW will not fall back in the hands of a court jester.
It will not become another joke.
Instead, it will be a moment that I hijack from you and turn it into another memorable victory of the Iron Angel. Then Cassidy, you can disappear back into the crowd, act like the college drunkard you are, hop on a bar, lift up your skirt, watch the gnats fly out in unison, swing from a chandelier, have tequila shots from your belly button, whatever you like….
And live your meaningless life of Debauchery, Duchess.
I will live mine….
The memorable one as Champion but please, don’t think I’m some prude, oh no. I like to party, have fun too so come “Making Things Right”?
I will partake in a little guilty pleasure myself and ram down your throat….
A little “Slice of Heaven”.”
