Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me!
Scene One: I told you so
Toronto Canada
4 Years Ago.
Sierra breathed deep, her long hair tied up into a tight bun on the top of her head as she moved on the grappling mats, her body covered in ultra lightweight tapout work-out gear(not a sponsor). She was rolling with a young girl who had just started training. A little blond french canadian thing. Her facing features reminding her very much of [Name Redacted]. They went to lock up, Sierra ducked down with a double leg taking her to the mat with ease and holding her down. After a few moments Sierra pushed up to her feet and offered her hand, the girl smiled and gave a nod thanking her for her help. But, Sierra ignored her.
She said nothing, she hadn’t been talkative in the last week since the incident backstage at a WWH show. Sierra had been moved to another brand, but she still had to see it, Carter and the woman he cheated with all over WWH TV, he was being pushed to the moon. It made her heart ache and her stomach boil.
Sierra shook it off and tried to get back into it, the little blond girl moved fast, Sierra’s mind flashed again to Carter and that small room that he was found in, the feeling in the pit of her stomach that Made Sierra almost burst into tears, in front of her new co workers, her employers and everyone else backstage. Everyone knew now of course, they never said anything directly, but the show she had been at two days ago had left scars and anger, pitied looks that even now made her want to throw up. But this moment of fear and anger left her open and before she knew it the girl had taken her down and was not on top of her.
The gym was silent.
Men who had been running the ropes and learning counters now stared in quiet disbelief.
Everyone was looking. Sierra felt herself losing it. She felt tears well up in her eyes and anxiety in her stomach. A rage building in her heart. And with that she planted her feet, bucked her hips and threw the young girl off her with a huge force before pivoting off her knee and forward taking the girl down as soon as she got to a vertical base, Sierra moved around, took her back and sunk in a deep choke. The girl struggled, she panicked, she tapped. And then, she passed out.
Diego made it over, he pulled Sierra off her, dragging his sister to her feet. Sierra growled and looked down at the coughing and sputtering girl. Diego shoved her back. ”Hey...HEY ENOUGH...SI!” Sierra breathed deep and shook her head backing away as others helped the little blond girl, Sierras hair fell from the bun, a few strands in front of her face. Diego looked around at the rest of the gym as they all stayed silent. He grabbed Sierra by the arm and pulled her sideways into the office slamming the door behind him.
”Sit down…” Sierra ignored him, folding her arms over her chest. Diego kicked the chair out from under the desk and pointed at it. ”Sit down Si!” After a few moments she let out a deep sigh and slowly lowered herself into the seat. Diego moved around to the other side and laid his hands flat on the table. ”We warned you, we tried to talk you out of it, we tried to make you remember why trusting Carter was a bad idea. And you didn’t listen.No9w look at you…”
Sierra stayed silent, she just folded her arms and looked ahead. Diego let out a sigh and closed his eyes taking in a deep breath. ”Go home Si, take some time away, do your job, make your dates, then come back when you’ve calmed down.” Sierra went to say something, Diego put his finger up and shook his head. ”Just go Si...please...for both us us…” She pushed off the chair, keeping eye contact with her brother, she ground her teeth and turned towards the door showing passed Rico on the way out, he reached out for his sister, Diego shook his head. ”Let her go bro…”

St. Barts
Present Day
”So, do you take me seriously now?”
Sierra Williams, long fire red hair and all stood with her arms folded. It was a wonderful day in St Barts, a bottle of water dangled from her hand as she smirked and shook her head.
”The calls of “Sierra lost it” and “Sierra is just a tag wrestler” seem to have faded away right?. See, you people need to recognise the talent, the drive and what I’ve done. I mean, yes, Lachlan and I did dominate the Mixed tag team division, we did go on an incredible run. But, look at my record. Even without the tag team title run, without the wins there, then all you have is two blemishes on my record. A loss to that idiot Mercedes Vargas in a triple threat match and a loss to one of my opponents in Bobbie Dahl.”
“But what about the rest of my wins?”
“What about what I have done to the roster huh?”
“Well, it’s amazing how people will write off your accomplishments and basically shit on you. It’s amazing how very few people can look at you and see you as a danger because their fragile as fuck egos won’t let them\. Griffin Hawkins didn’t see Teddy Steele as a threat, and now Teddy is walking around with the damn mens Roulette title. Mercedes Vargas didn’t see Sam as a threat despite her record, instead referring to Marlowe as “her shadow” despite Sam winning the women’s roulette title for the fourth time.”
“People did that with me.”
“They wrote off my tag team success, they then went and just shrugged at my singles wins. Like I was nothing without Lachlan. Then as I have gone through a large chunk of the women’s division, Apple Coren and Trinity Jones. You all still STILL refused to take me seriously. So now, after beating the goddamn number one contender I have to ask again. Do you take me seriously now?”
She waits for an answer that will never come, she pops the top off her water taking a drink.
”But, even with my recent success I get why I might be viewed as an underdog here. Even though Kate has been nothing but a failure over the last few months and since beating me Bobbie seems to have gone into a downward spiral. I mean Kate has sat there and watched the whole dynamic of her relationship flip. See she has gone from being the dominant one, in the wrestling world and their personal life, to being cucked. I mean, a few short months ago, Kate was strutting around with a briefcase telling the world she was about to win the SCW bombshells title in her hometown.”
She stops for a moment and raises an eyebrow with a smirk before leaning close.
”How’d that go for you Katie cakes?.”
”I can answer that. You lost. You lost spectacularly. And see, a real measure of someones personality and who they are as a human being is their ability to bounce back. And you didn’t really bounce back Kate. You just kinda, existed. And you have failed time and timer again while almost begging for title shots like they were crack. But hey, your prayers have been answered, you get a chance to become the number one contender and face Sam Marlowe. The only problem is, standing in your way...is me. And while you sit there and watch your husband be a champion and run around with a legion of hos like he’s suddenly “Teddy Pimp Daddy”, I have been winning and winning and winning….”
“Cause that is what I do…”
“So bring it in the roulette rules match Katie, I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting to whoop your pale english rose ass all over the ring, I will take you down, lock you in my sharpshooter and I will make you tap out of the match like your husband is about to tap out of your damn marriage…”
Sierra sneers and steps back with a smirk before walking out of the shot, after a few awkward moments she steps back in with a scoff.
”Oh shit I’m sorry, I forgot about Bobbie Dahl….”
She laughed to herself and shook her head.
”Story of your life hey Bobbie?. Most of the fans forgot about you after you were able to beat me. Even Artie forgot about you….”
She shrugged and continued.
”Look. Bobbie. Honey. I’m not going to go down the same route as Kate and make veiled fat jokes. Cause that is low hanging fruit and you are a big, beautiful woman. Hell Bobbie, I really hate Kate and her attitude but I like you. I really do. You may have rubbed me the wrong way with Lachlan and hitting on him and our match but in the end you beat me and I respected you for it. I wanted to shake your hand, I told you in public, on social media that there we no hard feelings…”
“But then the dropoff happened.”
“You scratched and clawed your way up to a title shot, you failed and then you started to circle the drain and failed again in the roulette title ultimate X. Then I see your best friend forget you exist, I see you moping and whining on twitter. And I wonder. What the fuck happened to you?.”
“What happened to the funny, arrogant, cocky, bad-ass woman who beat me?. Cause this, thing...you are now?. That’s not the woman who went toe to toe with me. I look in your eyes now Bobbie and I don’t see fire and energy. Nah, now I see someone who is defeated and broken. Someone who doesn’t deserve another shot at the title. Someone who in all honesty...doesn’t deserve to be in an SCW ring….”
“And that might be harsh or whatever but you need to hear it so you can change it. But it won’t be this time. See that ball is going to start rolling, the roulette wheel will spin…..and in the end, that little ball will land on red….cause ladies..Sierra Williams is straight fire…”
