So it’s been a while… so bear with me as I brush the dust off my keyboard and attempt to get back into the swing of things. Let’s call this one Broken Promises - You see Odette has recently gone back on her word, she has gone back on her promise. Her promise to always be on SCW television week in and week out. Miss Ryder promised that she would be there for her loyal dedicated fans, for her wrestling family NXT and for her boyfriend Gabriel. How would she get herself out of this one? How would see win back the hearts of her wrestling fans? How would she prove to NXT that she is back in the game? How would she show Gabriel that she isn’t going to flake away every time she loses a… wait for it… it’s coming… a championship belt?
Truth be told the more Odette denied the fact of actually holding the championship gold the more she wanted to bond with it the more she wanted to claim it. The more she pushed it away the more it pulled her in with its allure, it’s glamour and it’s entitlements. For something that was never hers it sure hurt like a fury a bee stings and paper cuts when it was taken away from her grasps at Violent Conduct.
Finally the bubbly world of Odette Nicole Ryder had finally stopped spinning on its magical axis.
All of a sudden Odette didn’t care about anything she was numb uncontrollably numb, not even the sound of her boyfriend’s voice could break through the constant buzzing that rang inside her head. Not even the tightness of Melodies hugs could stop the overwhelming trembling her body was producing. Not even the quick and smart comical actions from Despayre could break the young Aussie’s cold hard stare that was fixated on her bare right shoulder where her championship had called home since claiming it. It’s funny how something so materialistic could become something so empowering and so motivating.
Much Like new Prada peep toes
Some say the fall from the summit is harder than the climb back up to the top, I guess Odette will have to find this out the hard way. But what annoys the young Australian the most is that Mercedes who took the championship belt was so eager to just throw it away, vacate the championship and leave Sin City Wrestling without a second thought. It’s not the leaving that annoys Odette Ryder it’s the fact that the rematch Claus is now void and the journey back to the top is now going to be riddled with obstructions. The struggle to get back to the top has only just begun and it will be a long and painful journey. Critics will once again have to be silenced, old foes will be chomping at the bit to put seemingly sore loser Odette in her place but you know what? Odette is welcoming this all with open arms, let’s see how can we word this in typical Australian fighting words… ah yes I’ve got it Game On Moles.
But with every bit of darkness in this world there is a silver lining and that silver lining is Odette gets to prove once again why she is one of the best Bombshell’s Sin City Wrestling has to offer. Miss Ryder is no longer considered one of the new comers anymore she has established her name as one of the main sort after talent. Odette has planted herself in the history books of Sin City Wrestling by becoming one half of the first ever Bombshell Tag team Champions, a onetime Bombshell champion and now she has just recently been awarded 2012 SCW Rookie of the year. Don’t get too comfortable calling her a rookie tho because Odette is going to claim Bombshell of the year next year mark her green and gold words on it. How does she attempt to achieve this? By starting again at the very beginning, let’s wipe the slate clean and let’s start with some new promises a new oath and a new pledge shall we?
I Odette Nicole Ryder from Queensland Australia pledge to the public with in the walls of the Sin City Wrestling world to do what… I want… when I want… and not stop until I achieve whatever it is that I wish to accomplish.
Confused? You should be, because Odette has her emerald eyes set on something and she isn’t sharing it with anyone. It could be the Bombshell championship, it could be the Bombshell Roulette Championship it could even be the Bombshell Tag team championship. The best thing about it? You won’t even know what it is until she has it. Her lips are sealed but her mind is locked and loaded. The beginning starts again and it starts again this Sunday, it’s time for a shakeup it’s time for an overhaul it’s out with the old and in with the new.
Still confused? Forgive me if my words seem a little clouded. Just know that when whatever happens… happens be prepared to pick your jaws up off the floor. There is no more time in life for playing things safe.

“No Fair so Gabriel got to meet your parents before me?”
Odette smiled up at her number one fan while she was getting her hair and makeup done. Jumping into the seat beside Odette, Melody looked all bright eyes towards her as if she was begging for details.
“So tell me how did it go?”
Odette went to say something but she was cut off by her hairstylist who was tugging on her heavily teased hair. Scrunching up her nose in annoyance Odette sighed before licking her lips and spilling the beans to Melody.
“Well…”
…
Flash Back
“Gabriel would you stop worrying please, they’re going to love you.”
We open up to find Odette Ryder and Gabriel standing on the front porch of Odette’s isolated Australian home. Gabriel has his arm wrapped around Odette’s waist but both of their eyes are set on the long driveway in front of them. Two sets of bright blue headlights are seen rolling over one of the small hills that must be driven over to make it to the door step of Ryder Country.
“Well you can’t back out of it now Gabe they are literally like two minutes away”
Nudging him playfully Odette couldn’t help but smile at Gabriel’s shyness obviously meeting her parents was something he took very seriously. Seriously enough that it looked as if he was about to be sick from worry. Pressing her lightly glossed lips against his cheek Odette took his free hand in hers and squeezed it.
“I don’t understand why you are so worried… it’s not your clean reputation on the line here tonight”
A nervous laugh now left her lips as Gabriel’s right eye brow arched
“Oh Really? And what interesting facts am I going to learn about you tonight?”
“Lies all lies”
She cheeks filled with red as she blushed at the thought of how this was going to go down and just what exactly her brothers would say about her. Taking a deep breath Odette stole a quick kiss from Gabriel before the sound of honking horns ripped them apart. Before Odette could even mouth another word to her boyfriend she was being carried away by her oldest brother.
“Well look who we have here… if it isn’t baby Odette”
Tristan swung Odette around in the air before returning her to solid ground, punching his arm slightly Odette messed up his hair as Tristan’s emerald eyes fell on to Gabriel.
“And this might be?”
Odette noticed that Tristan was being a little standoffish he always had when it came to Odette and bringing boys home.
“Tristan this is my boyfriend Gabriel... Gabriel this is my oldest brother Tristan… please don’t listen to anything he has to say tonight because it will most likely be false”
Biting down on her bottom lip she watched at Gabriel and Tristan shook hands and greeted each other.
“most likely?”
Odette seemed confused by Gabriel question so he continued
“You said his stories will be most likely false”
Tristan picked up on what Gabriel was implying and offered a high five
“AHA Odette… You brought home a smart one… it’s about time… the last four were real douches”
Odette mouthed ‘there hasn’t been four’ but Tristan spoke over her.
“My bad sorry six…”
Tristan than left giving Gabriel a tap on his shoulder as if it was a sign of approval. Odette sighed a breathe of relief but then hid her head into Gabriel’s arm. She knew that there was going to be some intense questioning about these stories later tonight. Before the two love birds could get to cosy Tristan’s wife Sarah walked up the front steps with Odette’s 5 month old niece under one arm and a bunch of bags in another.
“Let me help you”
Odette offered to take the bags away from Sarah but the shorter (yes I said shorter everyone laugh at my sister in law) rejected the offer and just walked on past Odette and Gabriel. Leaning in to Gabriel Odette whispered ever so gently.
“Sarah and I used to be friends… she started dating Tristan who had a promising motocross career but after his accident he hasn’t really been the same. She left him straight after it happened found out she was pregnant and begged him to come back and well… they haven’t really ever been happy since… so ignore her”
Odette hated telling that story because it was one of the reasons she hated marriage and one of the reasons why she was a firm believer that you truly can’t be happy forever, something in life always comes up and ruins it. In her eyes Sarah was that something that was holding her brother back. Gabriel caught the water building in Odette’s eyes, quickly placing his hands on the side of her face he ducked down and placed his lips on her. There was something about his soothing touch that made Odette feel at ease, breaking away slowly they could both feel the sensation of them both being stared at. Turning her head slightly to the right Odette blushed as her other brother was giving the two a slow clap.
“Nice work Odette… I see practicing on the bathroom mirror when you were thirteen has paid off.”
Her brother continued to clap as Odette shook her head if Gabriel didn’t leave her after tonight God knows what would make him disappear.
“Let me take over here man… while Odette shakes her head in denial… the names Rhys… but you can call me whatever the hell you want… and your name is?”
Sticking his hand out for a hand shake Odette was fuming at him.
“This is G”
“Shut up Odette let the man speak for himself…”
Sigh
“Gabriel”
Gabriel was a little hesitant to shake Rhys’ hands mainly because of the way he was acting towards Odette. Truth be told Odette and Rhys are only separated by one year but they are miles apart in maturity. Rhys is the type of Aussie Ocker that you would find at your local watering hole hooting and hollering at the topless ladies. The true blue Aussie that wears stubby shorts a blue singlet and has a beer in one hand and a hammer in the other. They had never gotten along but no one in the family really got along with Rhys he was a rare breed but when it came down to defending the Ryder Name or his baby sister he would, in a heartbeat.
“Ah come on Odette… don’t be all pouty with me… give your big brother a hug”
Rolling her eyes she gave in and gave Rhys a hug even though he was a meanie pants she still loved him. Pulling away from the hug Rhys couldn’t keep his eyes from drifting in between Odette and Gabriel.
“why do you two look like you have dragged us all out here for a big announcement?”
His eyes instantly shot down to Odette’s stomach
“You’re pregnant aren’t you?”
Oh if only Rhys knew that Odette and Gabriel can’t catch a break.
“Dad is goanna flip! This is going to be amazing”
“I’m not pregnant you spanner head”
Rhys seemed relieved but not so much convinced.
“Sure, sure… man you need to get out now before she has you buying a house together and has you reading your last rites”
Rhys walked off leaving Odette extremely embarrassed by his actions while Gabriel’s clenched fist said it all. Looking down to his fist Odette seemed a little taken back but she knew that Gabriel was just angry from the way Rhys was talking about her.
“Hey… just ignore him okay?”
“You do know you have told me to literally ignore your whole family right?”
Gabriel’s attention shifted back down to Odette as he attempted to look happy. Grabbing his hand she placed a kiss on the tip of his nose hoping that would take his attention off of what Rhys had said and done.
“ I do but if you’re going to seriously ignore anyone here tonight let it be Rhys please. He is just a bitter old man that has issues… but once you get to know him you’ll like him I swear… he isn’t always this big of a douche”
Gabriel wasn’t so easily convinced but the look in Odette’s pleading eyes was enough to make him just nod slightly in agreement. Stepping up on her tippy toes Odette was just about to leave her lips on Gabriel’s but the sound of two voices snapped her back down into attention. Gripping down on Gabriel’s right hand Odette’s French manicure nails dug ever so lightly into his skin, she was nervous. Brushing a strand of her curly brown hair out of her eyes with her free hand Odette attempted to check her reflection in the glass window but was caught out.
“Odette sweetie… you look amazing stop stressing”
Odette shyly laughed and bit down on her bottom lip as her mother and father walked up the three steps of her porch. Her mother was well presented in her matching pale pink skirt suit even when she wasn’t at work she was always dressed to impressed. Gabriel couldn’t help but look back and forth between Odette and her mother, they were almost like a pair. Odette had always been referred to as the spitting image of her mother her whole life but in saying that she got the Famous Emerald green eyes from her father. Speaking of Mr Ryder he was just comfortable in a pair of long wrangler jeans a checker t-shirt and Garth Brook’s style cowboy hat. Odette didn’t move she just watched her parents approach Gabriel and herself, not wanting to let go of his hand in fear of falling over. Considering Gabriel should have been the wreck between the two Odette was like a deer in the headlights.
“Mum… Dad… thanks for coming all this way…”
She was stalling why was Odette stalling?
“Mum you look amazing… and dad you’re like the rodeo champion I remember”
Tick tock tick tock
“Mum, Dad I would like you both to meet someone very important to me”
Odette was that nervous she could barely get the words to come out of her mouth right.
…
“And then what happened?”
Melody was swinging on her chair in anticipation as Odette looked pale
“Telllll meeeeee”
A small smirk started to cross the young Aussie’s face as she held back information back from her number one fan.
“Well… Gabriel and I are still together if that answers your question”
It didn’t really but Melody knew what Odette was like and didn’t push the subject anymore.
“So did they love him?”
Oh wait were we talking about the same nosey Melody? Of course she didn’t let up.
“They loved him Melody… they truly did… I don’t know why I was so worried about it all”
By now Odette’s hair and makeup was finished and she was just sitting and talking to her best friend.
“Because you want to marry him Odette it’s only natural for you to be like a stud mullet”
“it’s a stunned mullet and I don’t even think that’s right comparison you want to use right now”
“Stun or Stud Whatever it is… it doesn’t matter their all the same animal… and the nature of the beast is that you don’t want to stuff up with Gabriel soooo that’s why you were acting like Lindsey Lohan in a jewellery store when he met your parents”
Odette just laughed Mel did have a way with words even know they didn’t make sense.
“Now… let’s get you focused on your promo because the camera crew are waiting for you and after we can get ice cream and talk about wedding plans yes?”
Odette went to slap Melody’s thigh but Melody was too quick as she jumped away instantly.
"let's begin shall we? Let's go back to the beginning when I first came into Sin City Wrestling. I came in with one purpose and one purpose only and that was to get to the top. To dominate the top an stay at the top but after violent conduct I have found myself dwelling at my failure but fear not my little Rydernites because I will not continue to mop around and feel sorry for myself."
Flicking a long lock of her brown hair out of her eye Odette continued to walk alone down the back halls of the SCW arena.
"in fact I'm going to make it my mission to get my name back on to the map if it's the last thing I do. Truth be told ladies and gents I want the Bombshell Title back, I want the championship back where it should be... In the safe and respectable hands of the New Xtremes. I want Spike to be proud of me once again. I want the whispers to stop I want the doubt to end... I want to prove to each and everyone that I deserve to be where I am in Sin City Wrestling. So this Sunday I will show each and everyone one why I'm the one to beat in this tournament, why I'm the bombshell they should fear, they should stay clear of. There is no more time for friendships out in The ring anymore and unfortunately Jesse Salco is going to find that out the hard way this week. I will always back my girl but right now she is in my way and I don't like it when things get in my way. Sure Jesse and Laura want to step up and show everyone that they are ready well bring it ladies because I want a fight but mark my words I won't go easy on you. As a former bombshell champion I know what it takes to win it, I know what it takes to carry it and now I want it back. This time it will be different because there will be no doubt in my victory, I won't feel like I'm just holding Misty's championship and keeping it warm for her I will be able to say the let is mine and hold it proudly!"
Just a small wink was all Odette gave the camera as she continued to walk the halls. Dressed in her wrestling attire Odette seem locked a loaded to get into some in ring training.
"I'm going to keep this one short and sweet, come Sunday win or lose its going to be the first step back into the journey of bringing the Bombshell Championship back home... Bank on it"
Waving the camera away Odette turned a corner and headed to the sound and lighting booth. Leaving the scene and leaving people asking why so silent?!
