Act 1: Aftermath
The scene opens on the backstage area of the SSE arena in Belfast Ireland. The night had ended, and the parking lot was now empty, and the few stage hands made their way around the arena making sure everything was ready for the move to the next city. Most of the superstars and Siren's had left for the night to either celebrate, or to recover from the injuries that they had suffered earlier that night. The camera moves along the long hallway, and soon comes to a stop on a room where we see Avery sitting with Mike and an EMT looking over Avery's injured leg. She flinches every time that it's touched, and holds back tears, and cries of pain trying to keep herself calm. Mike paces back and forth before leaning against the door frame watching the EMT's do their work.
Mike: How bad is it doc?
Doctor: She'll have to take easy on that leg for a while.
Avery: Yeah that's not going to happen. I have to face off against Cross in a few days.
Mike: Avery, they nearly broke your leg. You are in no shape to get into the ring. I'm sure the doctor would agree with me.
Avery looks over at the doctor and sighs.
Avery: If you don't clear me my own doctor will. And Allura will take it over your word.
Doctor: Miss McCullen... I wouldn't recommend you to get into the ring, but...
Mike: Avery...
Avery: Listen I said I do, I will honor, and cherish you but I never said obey. I'm going to be in that match.
Mike sighs and hangs his head knowing that he couldn't argue.
Mike: What if you get hurt?
Avery: If I do, then I'll sit out until I'm healed. That I will promise you.
Mike: Alright.
Avery: Just think a Christmas at home, with Lizzy.
Doctor: You have your hands full don't you there Maddox?
Mike smiles as Avery gets to her feet, touching the floor and flinching.
Mike: Yeah I do.
Doctor: Just keep an eye on her... Or at least try to.
Mike nods as the doctor walks out of the room. Mike helps Avery out of the room, as the scene fades to black.
The scene reopens on the beautiful McCullen Ranch. The sun had started to rise over the beautiful rolling hills of Ireland. A light drift of smoke started to rise from one of the tall stone chimney's is seen coming from the main house. The smell of smoke fills one senses mixing with the smell of the decaying leaves that laid on the ground around the compound. The camera moves to the interior of the main house where we see Avery sitting in front of the large stone fire place with the McCullen family crest hanging above it. Two large Irish wolf hounds lay at her feet, asleep enjoying the heat that came from the fire place. Avery leans back on the tweed colored couch and smiles staring into the fire.
Avery: Tyler Cross at Assault you were put out of the match with a few moves. What a shame. Now you're looking to come and take me out aren't you? To finish me off at the behalf of your masters? You can claim they are your partners, or friends of whatever you want to call them, but we all know the truth. And I know that they'll come and make sure the job is done and done right. But then again, I really don't care if they are or not. I'm planing on kicking your ass all over that ring, and back again. I want to get to the last round of this little tourney and show the world that I am still as good as I have always been. I'm not going to hold back on you, let alone let you win this match that easy.
She gets up flinching feeling pain surge through her leg but tries to hide it as much as she can.
Avery: I don't care how much pain I'm in, I will be in the middle of that ring. Hell you stood in the middle of the ring with one leg and in a cast mind you. If you can do that, then I'm sure a pulled muscle or whatever it isn't going to stop me. I'm not one to back down from anything, and I'll prove it to you, and to everyone else in the back. I could keep running my mouth and tell you how I'm going to beat you but we all know that I don't need to for the simple fact that we all know it's coming. See you soon and good luck... You're going to need it.
She walks to the window and looks out over the grounds, as she smiles.
Voice Over: And when I vest my flashing sword And my hand takes hold in judgment I will take vengeance upon my enemies And I will repay those who hase me O Lord Raise me to They right hand And count me among Thy saints Whosoever shed last blood By man shall his blood be shed For immunity of God make he the man Destroy all that which is evil So that which is good may flourish And I shall count thee among my favored sheep And you shall have the protection of all the angels in Heaven Never shall innocent blood be shed Yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river The bitch shall spread their blackened wings And be the vengeful striking hammer of God.
The camera moves back over the lands outside the window as the scene fades to black.
