The Demon Queen strikes back or Amanda and the Shrink

It's a dark and stormy night and the demon army has occupied and destroyed the whole country. Almost everybody is dead or in slavery and they have killed whoever came in their way, men, women and even children. Now the final battle is almost over and the army stands right in front of the castle of the king. It's a really huge army and the soldiers of the kings won't have a chance against them, but they know what expects them when they lose and so they fight till death, but it doesn't help them.
The floor is covered with blood and the last soldiers flee back into the castle and try to close the gates, but they are followed by the demons. The leader of the demons, a woman in a light black leather armor and two swords in her hands follows them with a few of her men. As she sees that the gate opens and to let in the fleeing soldiers a smile comes into her destroyed face.

"Well, that won't help you. I'll get you wherever you hide."

She laughs in a devilish way and now her destroyed face and body is shown. Her whole fave and body is covered with burning scars, her hair is burnt away and her lips and ears too. Where normally are the eyes are only deep black holes left and she looks really scary.
Now she screams out and yells at her men to attack the enemies.

"Get them all, I want them all dead."

The demon soldiers attack again and the burnt woman is in the first row. She swings her swords with a deathly accuracy and kills everybody who comes into her way. Her armor and her face is covered with blood and it seems that she really loves and enjoys this massacre.
Now almost everybody is dead and also a lot of her own soldiers died, but she doesn't care and she doesn't show any mercy. Only the king and a few soldiers are left now, but they are surrounded by the demons and their horrible queen. They still try to fight back, but it. Doesn't help them. Now the demon queen gives a sign and her army stops the massacre, but they still have their weapons in their hands and so the soldiers of the kink are under control. The king, with a sword in his hands, looks at them in horror and knowing that this will be his end he screams out.

"What the hell do you want and who are you?"

Still with her bloody swords in her hands the demon queen looks at him and starts to laugh in a inhuman way. In her destroyed face you can't see any facial expressions and it's pure horror to look at her.

"Don't you really know who I am?"

The king looks at her in horror and shakes his head. The only thing he knows is that these monsters terrorize his country since years and that it seems that they took the final win now. He realizes that he and his men have no chance to escape their fate and he sighs in frustration.

"Ok, then I might help you out a bit. Do you remember that girl who fought against you years ago? You have captured her and tortured her almost to death and then you have burnt her alive on a stake. When I remember it right, then her last words have been that she will come back one day and get her revenge."

Slowly the king remembers that day and his eyes widen in horror. He remembers the girl and he even remembers her name. Now the demon queen snaps her fingers and suddenly the burnt ugly monster turns into a beautiful young woman with raven black long her, a face like an angel and a pretty petite body. All the wounds are gone and a sweet smile comes into Amanda's pretty face.

"Well, now she is back and stands here right in front of you to get her revenge."

The king is so much in shock that he can't say anything and he only stares at the beautiful Amanda and it's clearly visible that he realizes who she is. The fate of this girl has haunted him in his dreams and he still feels sorry that he executed her in such a cruel way, but the worst thing is to see her alive here. Ok, not really alive, but as an undead. After a few minutes he wants to say something, but Amanda gives him a sign to shut up.

"I admit that I made a mistake years ago as I turned against you. It was ok that you captured me and punished. Me, but I was a young girl who didn't know what she did. It wasn't necessary to punish me in such a cruel way. You destroyed my life and tuned me into the monster I am now. So don't blame anybody but yourself for the things that happen here right now.
I promised you to come back for revenge and today is the day when you will pay for your sins. You destroyed my body and my life, but now I'm here to destroy you."

The king looks at her and now he has tears in his eyes. He's not scared for his own life, but for the life of his men and his family and he really doesn't want to see his kingdom go into slavery or even get destroyed completely.

"It's true, I have been cruel and I'm really sorry for this. I know that it's too late to change anything, but please listen to me. I'm really sorry and please forgive me."

Amanda only laughs. It's pretty clear that she doesn't feel any pity and that she doesn't even think of forgiving him. She wants her revenge and she wants it now.

"Too late ...no forgiveness."

The king knows her and he also knows that she won't show mercy on him. He wants to speak again, but then he sees that Amanda's men has captured his family too and his eyes widen in horror. Now he's really willing to do anything so that Amanda lets his family go.

"Please, not my family. I know that you can't forgive me and that you will kill me, but my family has nothing to do with this. Please, let them go. I do whatever you want, but let my family and the rest of my soldiers alive, they are no threat to you. You won."

A smile comes into Amanda's pretty face and she gives him a sign to kneel down in front of her and so he does. Still smiling in an almost friendly way she looks down at him. She still has her swords in her hands, but it doesn't look like she's going to use them.

"Ok, let me think about it. If you accept me as the new queen and if you worship me, then I might let them live. So how do you decide? Kiss my boots and everything will become good."

The king hates this moment, but he has no choice and so he kisses Amanda's boots. He would do everything to save the rest of his family and so he even accepts it that he got defeated by this brutal monster.

"Ok, you're my queen and you reign over this country. We are all your slaves.

Amanda's facial expression softens and a warm smile comes into her face. For a moment it seems that she will keep her promise, but then the smile disappears and she glares coldly at him. Then she gives her men a sign.

"Kill them all ...and his family first."

The king screams out in horror, but before her he can speak Amanda has raised her arm with the sword and cuts off his head. His skull falls to the ground and Amanda picks it up quickly by grabbing it by his hair. She looks into the. Dead eyes and laughs again devilish.

"And now you will see them die."

While the massacre continues Amanda turns back into the destroyed burnt monster and her devilish laughing can be heard again, then the scene fades to black.

Amanda and the producer of this movie have just watched the last scene of the film and they are happy about how it came out. The producer claps his hands and Amanda smiles happily.

"This was awesome. I think it'll be at least such a success like your first movie. It's really cool.

Amanda smiles happily while she lights a cigarette. Shes really proud that she was the main actor in this movie and making it has been so much fun, especially as she loves the character she played. Then she winks at him.

"Yeah, it has been awesome and I think I'm pretty good as the evil demon queen. Haha, the making of this movie was so much fun, especially as I identify my self with this demon queen. She's really such a cool character and I feel a bit like her."

She laughs a bit and the producer nods. He knows that this has been the role of her life and he's happy that he could make that movie with her. Amanda has been good as an actor, but it's also good that she's a famous wrestler, so many people will watch this movie and it will be another huge success.

"Yeah, that's the perfect role for you. You are the demon queen and don't only play her.

He's right and so Amanda nods with a broad smile in her face. She's not mean in real life, but the circumstances made her mean and that's the same in that movie and in her real life.

"Yeah, I am her. And the best thing is that I was the winner this time. Don't get me wrong, I really love it to play the victim too, especially when I get punished and tortured at the end, but this time it was fun to win and to show how strong I can be. It's the same as in real life. There I love it too to be the victim, but when it comes to fights I prefer it to be the winner and the dominant one.

The producer winks at her. He knows her for years and he also knows that she's a bit kinky and that she loves it to play the victim and it's ok for him. This pretty young woman is really awesome, doesn't matter in which role.

"I noticed that. In the ring you are pretty dominant and your winning streak is really awesome.

Amanda laughs a bit as she hears this. It's good that others see it the same way as she does. Since she was a kid she loved it to play the strong and tough chick and that has never changed, but getting a nice little punishment can be so much fun too.

"Yeah, some punishment is fun, especially when I get my feet tickled. I really love this. But in the ring it's different. I think you know what I can do there and I want that everybody sees me as the strong bitch there. Haha, no cute little victim, just the strong and brutal monster. That's what I love."

She laughs again and the producer nods again. He knows that she can be really strong and tough and even though he's no wrestling fan, he has seen most of her matches and he thinks that she's really good.

"Exactly. But I think you don't have to prove that again. Prolly everybody knows that you are strong, tough and dominant. So there's nothing you have to worry about."

But Amanda isn't convinced. She knows that she is good, but Odette has won against her before and so she is a bit worried and also frustrated. She hates losing in her matches and seeing that others have more wins than she has makes her jealous and sad.

"Nah, that's not completely true. You know that I lost against Odette and I don't want that to happen again. I hate being a loser and I hate it when I don't look good in the ring."

Now the producer shakes his head. He doesn't want her to be frustrated or sad and so he tries his best to build up her self confidence again. His star should be proud and happy and not sad.

"You do look good in the ring. And you shouldn't worry about Odette. She's a normal wrestler, maybe a good one, nothing more. Oh, and I really don't know why your feud ended up in such a hatred."

Amanda sees this different and so she protests again. For her Odette is no normal wrestler, for her she's the pure horror and she really hates her, at least most of the time and especially after their trouble escalated so much.

"She's no normal wrestler, she's fucking dangerous and she has kicked my ass really bad. And with our hatred I don't know how it began. I think it started as a normal rivalry as we both thrived to get that title. I won and I think that Odette was a bit jealous. At least there she started to talk bad about me and there she said that I couldn't win against her. Ok, them it was followed by some attacks where I got her pretty good and I must admit that I was also talking bad about her, but that was all. I didn't hate her, she only went on my nerves and as she is in team SCW while I'm in team Erik, it's understandable that I don't like her. Anyway, I wouldn't care much, but the last two weeks it really escalated. First she faked that she will kill Laura and I must admit that I was really scared to death. Then she defeated Laura in a singles match and has beaten me up too. Do you really think that I will let her get away with this? No, I won't. Now I will act like the demon queen and come back for the revenge I deserve. It's time to pay the price and it will be a high price. Sadly it's not allowed to cut off her head, but I'll make sure that her fate won't be much better. Till two weeks ago I didn't hate her, but now I do and that's the worst thing that can happen to her."

The producer gets her a drink and hands it to her. Knowing how viciously Amanda can be when she hates someone he nods. Then he raises his glass for a toast.a

"Well, then lets drink on the end of Odette and on the win of the demon Queen. Cheers."

Withe a broad smile in her pretty face Amanda raises her glass and then she takes a deep sip.

"Cheers. But I think now let's talk about something different. I don't wanna ruin my good mood. So what do you think, shall we do a third part of that movie?"

The producer thinks for a moment and then he nods. The first part has been a huge success, the second part came out really good, so the thought of making a third part is really temptingly and he likes this idea.

"Definitively yes. I think a last part is necessary and there the good guys win.

That sounds like a good idea and Amanda thinks about how it could go on with the story. After a pretty short time she already knows what could happen next. something where the good guys win and also a happy end for the evil demon queen would be awesome. She throws away her cigarette and lights a new one.

"I think I could have an idea. What if the demon queen isn't so bad as it seems? She could have some remorse and let the family of the dead king live. After a while they can escape and now they're out for revenge for the death of their father. They found a group of rebels and so the war begins again. After a while the demon army is about to win again, but the rebels manage it to capture the demon queen. Now they must find a way to make her give up, but it doesn't work. She's already dead and so nothing can harm her. But the rebels don't give up too. They find a way to turn her into a human being again and so they can convince her to help them. After some light torture, this time not as cruel as before, Amanda gives up and helps them. So she betrays the monsters and so the good guys take the win in the last battle. But that's not all, Amanda fights on the side of the rebels now and as a reward they let her go and so she's free and a real human being again."

Amanda laughs and has a happy smile in her face. The thought of the demon queen getting released from her ban and getting saved is so nice and exactly what the emotional Amanda loves.

"A real happy end and exactly the way I like it. In stories and also in real life. I'm no big fan of sad endings."

she smiles, but it's a little bit sad, so that the producer puts his hand on her arm to comfort her. He doesn't know exactly why her mood changed so fast again, but he will find out and so he listens to her without saying anything for now. His hand is still on her arm and he looks at her.

"I juz wish that real life would be the same as these fairytales. Bit sadly there's mostly no happy end. Prolly that's the reason why I love such movies. Even though it's a bit brutality mostly ends good and has it's romantic moments. And when there's a love story involved then it's even better."

The dark haired girl sighs and she's lost in thoughts completely. She's very emotional and also a bit sentimental and so she really enjoys it to get some love and to have friends who care for her.

"Well, about my love life I really can't complain. I'm so happy to be with Laura and it's just wonderful. But so we come back to all this drama. I love happy ends and I will make sure that this will become a happy end, at least for me. And that means that I will get my revenge on the person who had the guts to hurt and humiliate the love of my life. Yes Odette, hurting Laura has been almost such a crime as hurting me and like in a fairytale there must be a punishment for this crime. But there's one fucking big difference to the fairytale, the punishment will be even more brutal."

She laughs again and now it's in a pretty sadistic way. It's funny to see how fast her mood changes. One moment she's sad and a bit helpless and in the next moment she turns into a sadistic little bitch who loves it to hurt and injure others and who shows no remorse.

"Now you must say that everybody deserves a fair trial and that also includes you. But don't worry, Odette, you will get your trial and I will be the prosecutor, the witness and the judge and this all in one person. Haha, and as the judge I say that your guilty a d that you will be convicted to get destroyed by me, Amanda Cortez. Haha, and now I'll be your hangman too."

She laughs in a devilish way and the producer smirks at her. It's really awesome to watch this cute girl. Even though she's so tiny, petite and pretty she can look pretty dangerous and aggressive and it's a huge mistake to underestimate her or not to take her threats seriously.

"This was really an awesome speech, you sounded like the demon Queen again. If I wouldn't be one of your biggest fans then I would almost feel sorry for Odette, but only almost. But to be honest, I don't like her too and I think she deserves it to get destroyed by you."

Amanda loves it to hear this and even though she still is a bit aggressive, her mood becomes better again. She takes another sip of her drink and looks at the producer. She really appreciates it that she has friends who are on her side and who support her whatever happens.

"Thank you, it feels good to hear such nice words and also to know that even a person like me has some fans. I know that the people love my movies, but in the ring they don't wanna see me win. I'm pretty sure that they all wanna see this Australian bitch win, but there I'll disappoint them. She won't win and she'll be on the receiving end of the beating up. This time she will be the victim and not me."

As he sees how full of self confidence she is the producer nods and smiles at her. That's exactly the way he wants to see her and how her fans want to have her.

That's the right spirit for a demon queen. That's what I wanna see and I'm sure that there are more people who wanna see you as the winner and maybe also as the new champ one day.

As Amanda hears the word champion she looks up. She hasn't thought about this subject for a while, but now she's forced to think about it again. She doesn't like it too much, but maybe she will get another chance to go for a title soon.

"Me and champion? I don't think so, at least not at the moment. Haven't you heard that I'm banned from all title matches at the moment. Prolly that's the punishment for being in team Erik and for pissing off the bosses so bad. But when I think about it then I might get another chance soon. I mean look at my matches. I won them almost all and when I can take the win against team SCW's strongest wrestler, then they can't ignore me any longer and then they'll have to give me a title match.
So you're prolly right and I'll be the champion soon. Haha, I won't get crowned, but this belt is almost as good as a crown."

This thought really makes her happy and she giggles lightly. Then they continue their friendly conversation, but now it's time for Amanda to go home. She wants to meet Laura for dinner and so she leaves the film studio and drives to the restaurant where Laura is already waiting for her.
They have a nice dinner and then they spend the evening with making love at home. It has really been a nice day and Amanda is happy and in a good mood, but after she went to bed and fell asleep she became terrible nightmares and was screaming in her sleep so that Laura has to wake her up.

"Shh ...everything is ok. I'm here and I'll protect you."

A bit comforted Amanda huddles against Laura and eventually she falls asleep again. The rest of the night is quiet, but during the next nights her nightmares become even worse and they always had something to do with Odette and Amanda being the victim who gets destroyed and humiliated like never before in her life. At the end Amanda almost doesn't sleep anymore. She is tired and exhausted and slowly Laura becomes worried too. So one morning Laura suggests that Amanda better goes to a shrink.

"Ok, now it's enough. Normally I wouldn't suggest that, but without sleep you can't win against Odette. So it's prolly better if you visit a shrink. He can prolly help you and so you'll be fit again soon."

Amanda really doesn't like this idea and so she protests, but after a longer discussion she agrees. Maybe some professional help will be good for her. So she kisses Laura and leaves the house to drive to the shrink. Amanda arrives there, shuts off her bike and enters the office. They shake hands and the Amanda takes a seat in a recliner. They start talking a bit and slowly Amanda gets comfortable. She isn't nervous anymore and relaxes a bit and in some way she believes that she can trust him and that he will help her. After offering her a coffee, he asks her about her problem and Amanda starts to speak.

" it's pretty easy to explain. In a few days I'll have a big wrestling match and now I have nightmares. But it's not the same as being a bit nervous right before a big match. This time it's different."

The doctor doesn't say much and mostly he only listens to her. He only encourages her to continue when she stops. Then he asks her about her dreams. For helping her he really must know everything and he must bring her to tell him everything about her fears and worries. This won't be easy because Amanda is a tough little chick who doesn't like it to admit that she's scared, but he's confident that she will talk.

"Well, that's a bit complicated. To understand it you should know that I played the main role in a horror movie. I played the demon Goddess there and at the end I destroyed the whole world. Ok, that's no reason to get bad dreams, but now I dream that I'm this demon queen and that a group of rebels destroys me. And the leader of this rebel group is that stupid bitch Odette, my opponent at the next show.
I know that I have good chances against her, and when I'm awake, I'm not really worried, but during my dreams I almost die. She haunts me, she terrorizes me and at the end she tortures and humiliates me and this till eternity. In my dream it's even worse than death. It's really a bad nightmare and it scares me. I could live with it, but the problem is that I can't sleep anymore after I had this dream and I need my sleep. I must be fit to beat this stupid bitch. Damn, I really don't want my nightmare to become reality."

The doctor still listens to her and nods. Then he smiles at her and after a short moment he begins to speak, while Amanda looks at him, curious about what he has to say. A bit nervously she taps with her fingers on the table.

For me all this sounds pretty normal. You have some problems with other people and also with your bosses in this wrestling company and so you love it to escape into this fantasy world. Normally that would be good, but it seems that all this is a bit too much for me and in some way you see this girl Odette as your worst opponent. And not only this, you are even scared of her. You don't have to admit it, but it's the truth. And that's the reason why she can haunt you in your dreams."

Amanda doesn't like to hear that she's scared, but he's right and so she can only nod. As he asks her why she hates Odette so much, she begins to tell him everything. She tucks up her pretty legs and hugs them, resting her chin on her knees. Then it takes a while, but eventually she continues to speak and she even admits that he's right with what he has said.

"Ok, you're right, I'm a bit scared. And why I hate her? I don't know. One reason is that she has attacked my love Laura, but that's not the only reason. I hate her because the crowd loves her, because she has more wins than me, another reason is that she won against me in a singles match and the worst thing is that she won more titles than me."

The list of reasons why Amanda hates Odette goes on for a bit longer and as she is finished, the doctor smiles at her. He's really skilled and so he understands exactly how she feels. Now he must only bring her to accept this too. This will be the first step and then the chances to help her are really good.

For me this sounds like you are a bit jealous too.

Amanda growls. She stretches out her legs again and crosses them, then she starts to dangle with her shoe in a pretty nervous way. That really hasn't been what she wanted to hear, but deep insides she knows that she is right and there is no reason for her to protest. She wants his help and so she will work with him together even if it means that it could become a bit uncomfortable for her.

"I'm not jealous. Ok, I am a bit scared, but not jealous."

"You are and you should really see this. And don't worry, that's normal. Everybody is jealous and you must learn to live with this. But that's not all, you can also stop it if you realize that you have no reason to be jealous. So tell me what kind of success you had during the last years."

That's easy for Amanda and immediately she begins to talk. Talking about her successes is so much fun for her so that a twinkle comes into her pretty eyes. Especially as she thinks about the first time she met Laura she feels so happy and relaxed and as longer she talks as better she feels.

"Ok, first I found the love of my life, Laura and I'm so happy that I'm with her. Then I'm a pretty famous fetish model and I love this job and my videos sell really good. I'm an actress too and I performed in two movies and they were both awesome and brought me pretty much money. In that wrestling job I've been in several companies and I won a few titles. Now at SCW I won the tag titles, I've been the bombshell's champion and I won a lot of my matches. So it doesn't look to bad for me. There are only a few girls who are better than me. The only thing that bothers me a bit is that I'm not allowed to go for a title at the moment and that the fans hate me. I want them to love me."

The doctor nods again. Now comes the most difficult part, to explain her that all this is normal and to tell her how she should see the things. Hopefully it will work and hopefully she will understand him, but Amanda is smart and so he's confident that he will have success.

You must realize and accept that not everybody loves you. Some people do, some even hate you, but who cared? It won't kill you or harm you if they hate you. And with your career everything is ok. It seems that you are pretty successful and I would say that you have no reason to be jealous. Odette might have more wins, the fans might love her and maybe she's even better than you, but you are good too. You're an amazing wrestler and you really should know this. So you don't have to be jealous. I can understand that you don't like her, but should you really hate her? I don't think so. Hate is never good and you become to emotional. You should see this as a rivalry and focus on taking the win against her. But even if you don't win, it won't kill you."

But now Amanda protests. It's really hard for her to accept all this and to change the way she sees it. For a bit longer she isn't willing to change her thoughts. She clenches her fists and pouts.

"It will kill me. No, it's even worse. It will be humiliating a d I think I can't live with this."

But the doctor is used to stubborn people and so he doesn't give it up. If he would stop now, then he will never be able to strengthen her and to help her to feel better, so he tries a new tactics and starts to ask her some question so that she sees that nothing bad can happen to her.

So what happens when you lose? Will you die? No. Will you get injured? No, prolly not, cuz there's a referee. So the only thing that gets hurt is your pride and that doesn't kill you. It's not nice, but you can live with it.
That was the first thing. The next thing is, who says that you will lose? For me it looks like you have good chances and if you win then you'll be proud like never before in your life. So you really should start to think positive. Write down all the things you're good at and when you get worried again the read them again and again. So you won't forget them and it will help you. But you must also try to live with a loss or a humiliation. This happens to everybody. It's not nice, but you can try to learn from it. Don't blame yourself for this loss, just think about what you made wrong this time and try to avoid these mistakes the next time. So nothing will stop you on your way to become a happy person and it will also help you to get success."

After talking to him for a while Amanda really feels better and a few days later and a few sessions later her nightmares slowly go away. Sometimes she still has them, but the difference is that she wakes up and then falls asleep again. So it becomes better for her and she isn't so tired and exhausted anymore. But she still visits her doctor and so one day he asks her what's her main problem with getting humiliated.

"Now I have one last big question. Why are you so scared of getting humiliated in your matches? I think you're a pretty cool and relaxed person and so I don't understand it. I've seen a few of your fetish videos and there you get humiliated too when you get tickled till you scream and beg for mercy and there it seems that you even like that."

To this question Amanda really has no answer. She thinks for a moment and doesn't know what to say, but eventually she manages it to find an answer. Slowly she's on the right way, even though she still doesn't know it.

"You're right, but in some way this is different. I get payed for getting humiliated and so that's ok. I give the fans what they wanna see. And I like it. I love to get tied up, I love to get tickled and it arouses me. But in the ring I get payed to get the win and there's nothing that arouses me. I love fighting, but I only love it when I win."

The doctor smiles and nods at her. Now he knows that he has won and it won't take much longer and she will see that there are really no reasons for all her worries and fears.

"I know that you see it this way. You don't get payed for getting humiliated, but you get payed for entertaining the fans. And there are two persons in a match and only one can win, so the other one gets paid for a loss. Oh, and if it entertains the fans then a loss should be ok for you too. So there's nothing wrong with losing from time to time, as long as it's not always. I hope you understand what I mean, it doesn't make you a better person when you always win. And it doesn't make you a bad person when you lose. So don't worry about it too much and don't let it destroy your self confidence. You're a nice and awesome person and that shouldn't change, no matter what happens in the ring and during your match against Odette. Just don't take it too serious and try not to change yourself too much. Just be a bit more relaxed and everything will be fine."

It's nice to hear such words and so Amanda smiles again. They keep talking for another hour and at the end amanda understands that he was right and that there is no reason for her to be scared. She smiles happily and after continuing the conversation a bit longer eventually shet has to leave. She says good bye and then she drives back home to her trailer where Laura is already waiting for her. The rest of the day the two young women spend with having fun and making love and then they go to bed. As mentioned before, Amanda's nightmares are much better and so she awakes pretty relaxed in the morning. They have a breakfast and then they think about going to the gym, but Amanda isn't so motivated, so they just sit there and talk a bit longer. Now Laura wants to know how the session with the shrink has been and so Amanda tells her everything.

"I think it has been a pretty cool idea to go there. That guy is awesome and he really helped me. Now I see everything a bit more relaxed, even that awful trouble with Odette and I'm not scared anymore that I could lose that match. Hehe, cuz I won't lose it. I'll fuck her up completely and the victory will be hours. But even if not, who cares?"

She giggles a bit and smiles at her friend. Then she puts her feet into Laura's lap and wiggles her cute toes in a temptingly way. It's pretty clear what she wants and she hopes that Laura will massage and tickle her.

"But what helps me even more to relax would be a nice long massage. You know how much I love this and that I need everything to take the win at the weekend."

Laura shakes her head, but she knows that Mandy loves it and so she begins to massage her feet until Amanda purrs and giggles. Immediately the cute girl relaxes and she seems to be so happy. Seeing her like this is such a joy for Laura so that she really has no intention to stop it and to disappoint Amanda.

"Ok, I do it, but only if you promise to go to the gym later. We really need some training and you shouldn't be so damn lazy. Cuz if you don't come with me, then ...."

Now she runs her sharp nails over the bottoms of Amanda's petite little feet and the dark haired beauty laughs and giggles. To make sure that Mandy can't escape she traps her ankles under her arm, like in a neck lock and continues to tickle the cute little Latina. It doesn't take very long and Amanda is completely hysterical and so Laura massages her again. Now Amanda moans and looks at her love.

"Ok, I promise to train with you. Hehe, but please don't stop this here. You know that I love it. And you can't stop it now, that would be mean. It's so arousing ...Juz a lil bit longer ...please."

Laura smirks as she hears this. Amanda is so cute when she begs and it's really impossible not to make her happy. And there's something more. Mandy has such a wonderful soft skin so that it's really so much fun to touch her and to caress her and Laura really loves it. She also loves the cute way Amanda giggles and so she will continue as long as Amanda wants it and even a bit longer.

"Ok, a little bit, but we play after my rules ...and I say when it's enough."

With a smile in her face she takes a piece of rope and ties Amanda's ankles together and then her hands too. Then she takes Amanda's feet in her lap again and rubs them a bit more. They are so soft and sensitive so that Laura really doesn't want to stop, but she knows how squirmy Amanda can be when she gets tickled and how much she can struggle, so the ropes are really necessary to prevent her from kicking Laura into her face. And Amanda loves it to be all helpless at the mercy of her love and so she purrs again.

"Ok, your rules ..as long as you make me happy everything is ok."

Laura continues with what she is doing and laughs a bit, especially as she starts to rub her feet a bit harder so that Amanda shrieks in a cute way. Amanda is so cute and it's funny that the tough little diva loves it so much to be tied up and helpless.

"Well, we will see. But I'm sure you'll be happy when I'm done with you."

Then she starts to tickle Amanda again. At first really lightly, so that the dark haired cutie really enjoys it and Amanda laughs and giggles, but it's mixed with moaning now. Then Laura tickles her harder and Mandy screams and squirms until she is bright red in her face and has tears in her eyes. After a while Laura shows mercy and begins with the massage and the light tickling again until Amanda almost explodes, but Laura is mean and doesn't let her cum. Always when she's near to climax Laura punishes her hard and so Mandy is in real trouble. She so aroused and never has the chance to cum and slowly she's frustrated and begs.

"Please ...don't be so cruel, release me ...make me happy ..."

But Laura doesn't even think of stopping torturing the cute Latina. She knows that it's a bit mean, but she also knows that this is exactly what Amanda loves. The tough little girl really loves it to get pushed over the limits and exactly this is it what Laura will do. So she runs her nails harder over the soft skin of Amanda's foot bottoms and digs them deep into her skin. She knows that it's really torture for her friend, but she also knows that Amanda will climax when she continues this brutal treatment a bit longer and so she tickles her as hard as possible and Amanda laughs screams and has tears in her eyes. Her soft foot buttons are already pink from this treatment, but Laura still continues, driving her love over the edge.

"I'm not cruel, I give you exactly what you need and what you want."

Amanda laughs, moans and screams and she's completely hysterically and desperate, but she loves this torture so much. Eventually she can't stand it any longer and even though Laura tickles her really hard by running her fingers under and in between her cute toes, Amanda explodes. Completely out of breath she sinks back and Laura unties her. She holds her close and kisses her lovingly on the lips.

"So is my little demon queen happy now?"

Amanda is still completely out of breath and huddles against Laura. For a pretty long time she still giggles and isn't able to talk, but then she smiles at Laura in such a lovingly way.

"Yes, I am happy, hehe ....was a bit hard but so much fun and that's really so good for relaxing. Hehe, it seems that you'll have to do it always before my matches. You'll be surprised how good I can fight then."

They both laugh about Amanda's strange request. Still holding Amanda in her arms Laura kisses her again. She's willing to do everything to make Amanda happy and so she nods in a friendly way.

"Ok, we make a deal. I do this to you before we go to sleep till your match and you train with me every day. Deal?"

Amanda claps her hands and without hesitating she agrees. This is really a wonderful deal and knowing that there are almost two weeks left till her match, so that there will be so many hours of wonderful fun, is really such a wonderful thought. She can already feel Laura's hands everywhere on her body, exploring all her ticklish spots and her erogenous spots.

"Deal."

After all this fun it takes a little bit longer till Amanda recovers. She's really exhausted and her knees are a bit wobbly, but it doesn't help to complain. She knows what she will have to do now and so she stands up and sweaty as she is, she thinks that a shower would be good. So she takes a shower and gets dressed in a tight jeans shorts, a small top and her flip flops. She looks into her locker and gets some stuff for a work out. After putting everything into a huge bag she comes back to the living room, where Laura still sits on the couch. Now it's time to keep her promise and to go to the gym with her love.  She still doesn't like the thought of a hard training, especially not after she still is a bit tired, but she has promised it and so she will do it. for a moment she thinks of the wonderful reward she will get after her training and it brings a smile into her pretty face. So the useful things a d the fun will get combined and this way it is ok for her. The part with the training she could skip, but she also knows that it's necessary is she wants to take the win in her match against Odette and so she accepts her fate. she smiles at Laura and gives her a sign that she is ready and that they can go now. Now Laura stands up too, grabs her bag and the two leave the house and climb into Amanda's jeep, then they drive to the gym. and the scene fades to black.

 The first deadline has passed. We are now into the second RP period.

[Amanda Cortez]

 
It's the last day before the PPV and Amanda is giving a press conference. Dressed in a short and sexy dress and some nice looking high heels she sits at a table, with a micro in front of her and her girlfriend Laura sitting besides her. The room is crowded with reporters and they are all eager to ask her their questions. So it's pretty noisy and Amanda has problems to understand them. But eventually they all calm down a bit so that the show can begin.

"Ok, Miss Cortez, we've just heard that you finished your second movie. What's your reason for this sequel?"

That's easy to explain and so Amanda doesn't take long to answer. With a broad smile in her pretty face she looks at the interviewer, cuz talking about her new movie is always fun for her and it makes her proud. Cocky as she is she loves all the attention she gets.

"That's easy to explain. The first part has been a huge success and many people were watching it, so they asked me if I would play the demon queen in a second part. At first I didn't want too, but after they told me that the demon queen will win I couldn't resist. It's ok to be the one who loses, but once it's enough. Now I prefer to win, like in real life."

Amanda pauses for a moment and so the next reporter asks his question.in the meantime she makes sure that her long raven black hair is ok and wipes some of it out of her face. Still listening to the questions she puts on some lipgloss.

"As we talk about winning, you won many matches the last weeks and there are many people who say that you cheat and steal wins. How do you think about it?"

Now she roles her eyes. She really hates it when somebody reminds her at this, especially as it's the truth, and everybody can see it. Before she answers she leans back in her chair and after a look at Laura she fumbles into her pocket, pulls out a cigarette and lights it. A bit coldly, but still polite she answers.

"Ok, let's set things straight. It's true that I cheat and it's also true that I stole some wins, but that doesn't mean that I can't take a win alone. I did it before and I'll do it again. Look, I can beat up whomever I want, the divas, the guys and especially Odette. This you can see at the PPV. There will be nothing left from her when I'm done with her. She might be one of the strongest wrestlers at SCW, but against me she's nothing. I can defeat her whenever and wherever I want. And I won't only defeat her, I'll fuck her up, I destroy her."

As they hear these harsh words from her most of the reporters look a bit shocked. Tiny and petite as she is, Amanda looks so cute and so this answer really surprises a bit. Even though she always plays the tough bad girl nobody expects her to be really that mean.

"Wow, these are harsh words. Why do you hate her so much?"

Her first reaction is to shake her head and to raise her hand, but then she gives up her resistance and agrees that she hates Odette. It wouldn't make any sense to deny this fact, so why shouldn't the world hear Amanda's reasons for this hatred.

"I don't hate her. Shit no, I hate her, more than everything else in life. She goes on my nerves and in some way she even scares me. I'm not so sure why, but in some way it is this way."

This hasn't explained her reasons for this hatred and so the reporter asks her again. Hopefully he will get his answer to this interesting question, but now Amanda is willing to explain it in a better way.

"But why? I think there really is no reason."

Again Amanda shakes her head. She drags at her cigarette and after a small pause she tries to explain it a bit better. But she's not so sure whether anybody besides herself understands this, especially as she sometimes doesn't understand her own reasons.

"There is. Lemmy try to explain it. It began right after I joined here at SCW. I was new here and I was a bit insecure. Ok, I've wrestled before, but I heard a lot about this company and I didn't know what expects me here. The only thing I knew about this company was that everybody said that they had damn good wrestlers her and especially that Odette is one of them.
And then it began. I had my first matches here and I did pretty good and I even did good in a match against Odette. I even became the champion and not her. But that's not the main problem. Even though I was the champ everybody overlooked me and Odette got all the glory and respect I deserved. It's true, that made me jealous and I began to dislike her. So I think that was the moment when this rivalry, or call it feud, began. Then I lost a singles match and that pissed me off even more ad what also pissed me off was the fact that the fans loved her and hated me. Shit, everybody wanted to see me lose and that really huts me. So I thought it would be juz fair to destroy her idol and so I began to terrorize her and to provoke her. Damn, yeah, maybe that's mean, but that's what I had to do.
Ok, then I thought that it's enough of all this drama and I tried to turn back to other goals, but I had no goals, not after these stupid bosses banned me from all title matches. So I really had nothing to do. I won my matches, but nobody cared and I never got a chance for gold. So I thought it might help when I defeat the best wrestlers of this company, like for example Roxie or Amy or Necra, but also Odette. Yeah, sadly she belongs to this group. But anyway, this still is no real reason to hate her, but what she did last week really gave me a reason to this hatred. She has faked to kill Laura by throwing her from a roof and a week later she defeated her in a match and I got a beat down too. I think it's pretty understandable that I won't tolerate this and that I have some revenge in mind. And this revenge I will get at the next PPV when I face her. I hope that this explained everything a lil bit."

The reporter nods and then he asks his next question, but he's a bit worried that he could offend her. Most people don't like Amanda, especially not the wrestling fans, but this reporter is a huge fan of her and so he doesn't want to hurt her feelings.

"That's true, that explains a lot. But there's one more thing you could tell us. We know that you hate her, but do you still fear her?"

But Amanda isn't offended. She only shakes her head and smiles at the reporter with her cute smile. She's so hot and seducing and she loves the reaction of the people to her flirting.

"No, not anymore. A few weeks ago I really did and I even had nightmares where she haunted me, but I visited a shrink and now these worries and fears are gone. I still know that she's dangerous and that it'll be hard to beat her, but now I know that I can do it. And even if I don't, I'll survive it.
But what's pretty important is,mis the fact that I can't take the win when I'm scared. Then I don't have any chance. But this doctor helped me to fight my fears and now everything will be ok. You will see that I'm right when I'm finished with her and when she's destroyed. Then I'll be the number one again."


It seems that they all understand what she wants to tell them and after some mumbling of the reporters the next one asks her about her future plans. It might be interesting to hear what she has planed after she almost got fired and after she got banned from all title matches.

"As we talk about being the number one again, do you have in mind to get a title again?"

For a moment Amanda has to think about this, but after a while she nods. Slowly she sees this feud in a positive way and she thinks it can help her on her way to success and glory and even to get a title again one day.

"Yes, I have. I think after this win against Odette nobody can overlook me anymore, then they have to give me a title match whether they want it or not. Everything else would make no sense. I must be a champion and soon everybody will see this."

it seems that they all have the same opinion and a murmur can be heard. Then the next reporter begins to talk. Amanda drags at her cigarette and seems to be pretty relaxed.

"That sounds good. And do you think that your feud with her is over after this PPV?"

For a moment Amanda doesn't know what to say. She loves talking, but this here is really a difficult question. It's not that she doesn't want to answer, but she really isn't sure how to go on with her feud. Sometimes she would prefer it if it ends, so that the stress is over, but sometimes she also wants to continue it.

"To be honest, I don't know. Normally I would say yes, but this time it might be a bit different. For the case that I win then I would say that it's the end of this feud, but who knows whether Odette can live with this loss and whether she's willing to accept the fact that I'm the better wrestler.
And if she wins ...Well, then it's not over. I won't stop that war until I get my revenge for what she did to Laura and me. And I also won't stop before I proved that I'm the fucking best wrestlers in this fucking company.
So it's pretty open how it'll go on at SCW."

The reporters seem to be satisfied with this answer and so the interview goes on. Now it comes again to a point that Amanda could be offended and so the reporter really is carefully about how to ask her this question.

"That sounds interesting. So we have hope that this interesting feud goes on for a bit longer. And maybe we see you as a champion soon. But lets come back to the fact that Odette brought you nightmares. What helped you against this fears."

A smile comes into Amanda's face and she really isn't offended. A few weeks ago she wouldn't have admitted that anything could scare her and she would have freaked out to hear such a question, but since she has visited the shrink its different. Now she sees everything more relaxed and also can admit her weaknesses.

"That's a bit complicated. Mostly I was scared by getting humiliated if I lose against her. But in some way that's no problem for me anymore. You all know that I'm pretty submissive in my real life, but in the ring and at the shows I try to hide it and there I play the tough and indefeatable girl. But I realized that this is stupid. I've done so many lil video clips where I got humiliated and I really enjoyed this work. And there I have many fans who buy my clips and who love to see me as the victim. And as I said, I like it. So I think in the ring it's not much different. I still prefer it to take the win, but even of not, at least I do something to entertain the fans and that's all that counts. So however it ends, it's ok for me. And the next point I already explained before. I won't give up after a loss and I'll continue my lil war against Odette till I'm the glorious winner. So you see, I can't lose, whatever happens."

The reporters really were a bit surprised to hear this from Amanda. So for a moment it's pretty quiet, but as the subject comes to her kinky stuff everybody is interested again and wants to hear more about this. That's exactly what the fans want to hear.

"As we talk about your video clips. Do you still work as a fetish model?"

Without hesitating Amanda nods. She has a smile in her pretty face and she winks at the reporters. Talking about such stuff and her sexual preferences is always fun for her and she loves it.

"Yes, I do and I don't have planed to stop it. I love it and not only this, it's a kinda lifestyle, my lifestyle. So you can expect more kinky stuff from me. Haha."

Some of them know her stuff, but she's so damn sexy and pretty and so everybody wants to know what she has planed and what kind of stuff it is. As more details she tells them, as more fans will watch this show and it will become a great success.

"And what would that be?"

The pretty young woman giggles a bit. She really isn't ashamed for the stuff she does and she loves it to talk about it. It's fun to tease the audience and before she answers, she licks her lips in a voluptuous way.

"Haha, prolly the usual stuff, some bondage, some spanking and a lot of tickling. Haha."

The reporter who had asked this question smirks as he hears what Amanda has to say. With his next question he tries to encourage her to tell them more and it seems that he will have success with his efforts..

"Sounds awesome. So it seems that you really have a few fetishes."

And Amanda really has no problem with talking about her fetishes and about kinky stuff. She even admits that she's normally the submissive one, even though it doesn't fit to her role of the bad chick, but maybe just that contrast is it that makes it so interesting.

"Yeah, I have some and one is that I have a foot and tickle fetish, where I prefer it to be the victim. Yes, it's fun and I really love it."

One of the reporters grimaces as she says this. Then he laughs out and wants to hear a bit more about it.

"Ouuch, isn't that painfully? For me this sounds pretty torturous."

Amanda shrugs. He's right and it is torturous, but she loves it. And she also knows that they want to see her as the kinky tough girl and so she gives them what they want. It's no problem for her and its her way of life.

"Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't, but for me it's mostly arousing."

The jaw of the reporter drops down and he almost can't believe what he has just heard. They all knew that she likes it, but that it arouses her really surprises them a bit.

"Even though you scream and beg for mercy?"

Now Amanda laughs again. It might look a bit strange, but she really loves it and she also loves it to beg for mercy, especially when she knows that she won't get any. Being completely at the mercy of a person whom she loves is so wonderful for her.

"Hehe, yes. That's part of it and the best thing is if you don't get mercy. Then it's really fun even though you think that you won't survive it. But it's so arousing and also relaxing."

What they just hear is really hard to believe and they are all a bit puzzled, so they want her to tell them more about it.

"Relaxing?"

Knowing that they are really puzzled and curious, Amanda winks at them and begins to tell them a bit more. While she talks she giggles in her cute way, knowing exactly how sexy she is.

"Yes, before my matches I let Laura tie me up and tickle my feet till I almost die. Hehe, this always leads to sex and I feel so good after it's over. Oh and in some way it gives me power and makes me feel strong after I could prove how much I can take. Haha, you see, I'm a really tough lil girl."

"Haha, do you wanna prove this?"

Everybody would have expected that Amanda wouldn't do that, but now she shocks them. She shrugs and agrees.

"Sure, why not?"

Without hesitating she slips out of her high heeled stripper sandals and puts her feet into Laura's lap and Laura starts tickling her so that her cute girlish tickling can be heard. She's laughing, but she still can talk to the reporters and so she encourage them to join.

"If you want then you can help her. Haha, but as I said, I'm tough and you won't break me. Juz try it out."

Laura traps her ankles tween her legs and holds them in place and now the reporters can help her to tickle Mandy and this they do. Pretty soon Amanda is really hysterical and has tears in her eyes, but she doesn't tap out, even though the whole show goes for almost an hour. But then she pulls her feet back and winks at them.

"Ok, you had your chance and you couldn't break me. Haha, I won ...like usually. I'm always the winner."

She giggles a bit and wipes the tears out of her face. She looks so damn cute even though she's a bit sweaty now and her hair is a mess, but she's still damn pretty and this she knows.

"But now it's enough with the fun. Lets come back to our lil interview. I bet there's something more you wanna know."

Still a bit exhausted she lights a new cigarette and inhales deeply. With her free hand she rubs her feet and then she slips back into her high heels. Now she looks at the reporters and waits what else they want to know. But then the ringing of a cellphone can be heard and one of the reporters answers it. Then he stands up and switches on one of the TVs which is standing in the corner of the room. Everybody looks at it as Odette's promo is shown. But just as everybody thinks it starts, the electricity is gone and nothing works anymore. Then the scene fades to black.

Word count: 3319

OOC: sorry for the abrupt ending, but my motivation to write for this match is gone. Wanted to trashtalk a bit about Odette's promo and that doesn't work. So it ends here. But anyway.

[Melody Grace]

 OOC: Will have errors but i'm tired as hell sorry

~~~

Oh Dear, it’s been brought to Odette’s attention that the following BS has started to make its way around the back hallways of Sin City Wrestling. One – that Odette is slipping, two – that Odette is NO LONGER Main Event standard, three - there isn’t a hope in hell that Odette Nicole Ryder is going to defeat Amanda Cortez and four. Oh boy does Odette love number four, four is that Odette is jealous, she’s worthless and she’s a wise mouthed Australian Slut who is going to fall to her weakened knees at the hands of Amanda Cortez at Into The Void II and become her tickled bitch. Let the mind of Odette be the first to say… STOP… (HAMMER TIME!!) Seriously now… STOP (Can’t touch this) or let’s try this again... it’s time for the rumours to STOP (COLLABORATE AND LISTEN!!) Oh in the name of love would you STOP. (I see what you did there.) I see where people get the immature lines from now, oops.

Let’s undress these issues once at a time shall we?

Odette is slipping? Ah the proverbial fall from grace, the landslide the snow ball effect one takes before realising they’re not worth it anymore. Is Odette slipping away? Losing her grip when it comes to the ranks in the Sin City Wrestling Bombshell division, well lately yes… she has been slipping back into the shadows. You see Odette is a firm believer that everyone is entitled to the own time in the spot light and right now, Odette knows it’s not her time to take the lead or take control. Hell she has said this for weeks, hell even months. Yet now it’s been taken as weakness, now it’s been used as a loaded gun aimed at the Australian’s head for insults. Well mark my words, when Odette wants to come for the NUMBER ONE SPOT there is NOTHING that ANYONE can do to stop her. People want to paint an overused dish rag as the face of Sin City Wrestling, that’s fine go ahead… it’s only a moment in time before someone stands up and takes control and read my words… the sand in the hour glass is coming to an end. So is Odette slipping? Oh Hell No!

Odette is no longer Main Event standard? Isn’t that just the same as above, just in fancier text? I’ll give you props for trying.

Odette isn’t going to beat Amanda? The tickle freak can try but if last night’s Climax Control is anything to go by Amanda is going to fall faster than Laura. You see Amanda isn’t the only one with a score to settle, so while the resident tattooed goddess is rambling on about taking out the trash, controlling her hate… trust me poochie the feeling from Odette is very much the same but you’ll learn about that later tho.

Now is Odette Jealous? … What the fuck of? The last time Amanda won a match was the very same year that New South Wales won the State of Origin. Does Amanda hold a place in Gabriel’s heart? Does Amanda carry around a championship belt? Doesn’t Amanda have a house worth 25 million sitting in the hills of Las Vegas? Trust me… the green eyed monster isn’t involved in this fight, well definitely not on Odette’s end. Odette is worthless? Righto, you take that to the bank Amanda and run with it… we’ll add it up shortly about who has done what, who has done the most for Sin City Wrestling and who has proved their worth. Oh and Odette’s favourite she’s a slut? WOW… a response to that is rendered worthless, a complete waste of time. We have a saying that we use over here in Australia… Check the back of your own teeth before you start running your tongue… I think you should take that advice and use it very wisely.

At Into The Void II Amanda you’re going to have to rely on your gang mentality to help you overcome Odette Nicole Ryder, she’s locked and loaded and trust me she is gunning for you. Two weeks Amanda two weeks, I hope your ready… but for now let’s join the Aussie and her better half Gabriel after Climax Control shall we?

~~~

Gabriel: O you were amazing out there tonight.

<span style='color:green'>Odette: Meh

Opening up we find Odette and Gabriel sitting side by side in the first class section of a plane. Gabriel has his left arm draped around Odette’s shoulders as her head is tucked in close to his chest. Resting his chin on the top of her head Gabriel’s right hand is interlocked with Odette’s their fingers dancing peacefully together. As they settle into their positions for their quick yet still annoying flight home to Las Vegas. With her free hand Odette pulls on Gabriel’s black leather jacket zipper pulling it up and down, the plane hadn’t even taken off yet and she was already bored.

Gabriel: What do you mean Meh? What’s up?

Odette didn’t reply at first she was focused on zipping the zipper up and down as fast as she could, much to the silent annoyance of Gabriel. You see Gabriel was a very peaceful and easy going guy around Odette, who without meaning would test his patience several times an hour. Even tho the two were only separated by four years Odette was the baby, she was the one who still learning her boundaries when it came to Gabriel’s nerves. Not that she had to worry too much Gabriel would literally let Odette get away with murder if it meant they were together. Taking his hand away from hers, Gabriel grabbed at his zipper stopping Odette’s fury of the up and down game.

Gabriel: Are you right there? If you break it you buy it…

Odette: Oh please, as if you would ever make me pay for clothes.

Flashing him a goofy smile, Odette’s playful eyes hardened as she noticed the look on Gabriel’s face was painted with concern.

Odette: What’s wrong baby?

Gabriel: I’m worried about you O…

His response was riddled with concern and firmness he wasn’t going to let this conversation go easily.

Odette: Why?

Gabriel: You just don’t seem to be enjoying it as much as you used to. That’s all.

Odette: Hmmm…

She was thinking, to be honest Odette hadn’t been enjoying this for some time now but you would never hear her agree to that out loud.

Odette: It’s not that G, it’s just… I dunno. It’s like SCW is going forward and I’m standing still you know?

Gabriel didn’t reply he just squeezed Odette’s tiny body into his chest tighter.

Odette: The more I look around the more I see “Misty, Vixen and Roxi… the faces of Sin City Wrestling” bullshhhoot

Smiling up to Gabriel innocently Odette watches on to see if Gabriel will pull her up for her almost cuss word, but he doesn’t. Gabriel just wiggles his right index finger at her. After all she was in a huge amount of debt with the Angel and Despayre’s Swear jar, she didn’t need to rack up and more debit to the bank of Despy.

Odette: It just bothers me…

Hint of the green eyed monster? HAHAHA you wish jelly fish!

Gabriel: I understand what you’re saying O, I think you’re crazy for thinking that way… but if that’s how you feel you’re the only one that can change that…

Odette: I know that G, but maybe… maybe I don’t want to change it.

Gabriel: Then why are you so upset then?

Oh boy Gabriel had Odette by the hook line and sinker. Odette’s eyes grew a little wide as she nervously ignored the question and shot her right hand into her jacket pocket. Fumbling around for a few seconds Odette found what she was looking for, quickly pulling out a deck of cards from her coat. Looking playfully into Gabriel’s eyes Odette smirked as she diverted the conversation.

Odette: Wanna see a magic trick?

Arching his right eyebrow Gabriel let Odette’s avoid the question for now; taking his arm away from her he placed his hands in his lap.

Gabriel: Sure!

The Aussie slipped the cards out of the box and gently placed the box down in her lap before muddling her hands around, in some sort of an attempt to shuffle the playing cards.

Gabriel: O… that’s some great shuffling you’ve got going on.

He was mocking her, so Odette just flashed him a faked smile playing along with him. After a few awkward seconds of “shuffling” Odette grinned up at Gabriel fanning the cards face down, so they couldn’t see what was on them.

Odette: Pick a card, any card…

Gabriel ran his right index finger along the deck as Odette beamed up at him, eagerly waiting for her boyfriend to select a card. Just as Gabriel was about to select one out of the pack Odette’s Aussie accent broke the silence between the two.

Odette: Don’t pick that one…

Gabriel: Why not?

Odette: Just don’t pick that one…

Gabriel: O, a true magician never tells the audience what card to pick…

Odette: Well tonight’s your lucky night, because I’m not a magician…

Winking up at him Odette watched as Gabriel picked the card right next to the one she had told him not to select.

Odette: Good boy.

Rolling his eyes Gabriel looked at his girlfriend intrigued.

Gabriel: Now what?

Odette: Take it from the pack, and look at it… but don’t tell me what it is…

Gabriel did what he was instructed to do by the non-magician Odette Ryder; looking at the card Gabriel saw that it was the Seven of Spades. Looking back over into Odette’s eyes Gabriel nodded as if to say he was ready.

Odette: Now put the card back in the deck anywhere, you would like…

Gabriel was about to slide the card in a certain spot but Odette moved her hands slightly to the right causing Gabriel to laugh.

Gabriel: Let me guess anywhere but there right?

Odette: You got it baby!!!

Shaking his head at her once again, Gabriel selected another spot to place the card in the pack but Odette moved the fanned out cards in her hands once more.

Gabriel: What’s wrong with putting the card in there?

Odette: Just put the card back where you got it from.

Gabriel: That’s cheating O.

Gasping in shock horror Odette grinned up at Gabriel.

Odette: HEY… I play fair…

Gabriel didn’t respond he just placed the card back into the pack roughly around the same place he took it out from. Odette snapped the cards in her hand back into a single file and started to awkwardly shuffle them once more. Gabriel kept his eyes on Odette’s hands the whole time, it was in his nature to watch, to see where the magic was happening or where he was about to be swindled. Her piercing green eyes looked down at the cards as she flicked them between her palms trying to get the black jack shuffle down. Thankfully no cards were sent flying across the plane as she attempted. After a few more seconds Odette looked up at Gabriel confidently, almost as if victory was already oozing from her pores.

Odette: Okay, now I need three kisses…

Gabriel: I think I like this trick already…

Odette: Oh trust me, you will!

Leaning down Gabriel placed one quick kiss on Odette’s lips that was quickly followed by another kiss that lasted a little longer then the first. The third kiss he left on her lips was soft, slow and delicate. His hands coming up to either side of her face guiding her, as his tongue duelled with hers. Pulling back slowly Gabriel smirked down at his Aussie who still had her lips puckered and her eyes closed.

Odette: Did I say three? Because I meant four

Gabriel lowered his head once more, this time teasingly only leaving a peck on her lips. Opening her eyes cautiously Odette couldn’t help but smile at the proud look on Gabriel’s face. Fumbling with the cards once more in her hands Odette fanned them out in her left hand before pulling out the third card to the right. Bringing the card up to her face she smiled before winking towards her Englishman.

Odette: Prepare to be amazed!

Turning the card around so Gabriel could see that it was he smiled.

Odette: Gabriel, the love of my life… is this your card??

Gabriel looked at the card seeing that it was the Ace of Diamonds he continued to smile but shook his head.

Gabriel: Sorry beautiful, but that’s not my card.

A flush of pink hit Odette’s cheeks as she put the card back into the deck of cards and pulled out another one.

Odette: I was just kidding, is this your card?

Flipping the card around her fingers Gabriel was now looking at the Joker card, shaking his head once again he started to laugh.

Gabriel: Sorry O, that’s not it either.

Sighing Odette put the card back in the deck before grabbing the next one out.

Odette: Okay… Okay… no more delaying… is this your card?

Flicking the card around like before to show the Seven of hearts, Gabriel’s eyes were filled with a mixture of playfulness but sadness for Odette. He hated having her feel like she wasn’t acing something.

Gabriel: That’s…

Odette: Not your card?

Gabriel: Sorry baby.

Huffing Odette put the card back into the deck and frowned. Looking down at the cards in her hand she shook her head. Leaning over towards her Gabriel rested his chin on her shoulder.

Gabriel: You’ll get it next time O, don’t be so hard on yourself…

Closing his eyes Gabriel was ready for the flight to come to an end, but they still had a good forty minutes before the wheels would make contact with the runway. While He was preparing for sleep, Odette was looking at the cards in her hand mortified that her trick didn’t work. Huffing she pouted at them and started to re shuffle them.

30 MINUTES LATER

Odette: Gabriel, wake up…

Gabriel snapped himself out of his nap and looked wide eyed.

Gabriel: Oh be Jesus

Shrugging her shoulder Odette played along

Odette: Okay

Extending her hands out to the side Odette pretended to be Jesus on the cross, which was not what Gabriel was expecting. Gabriel brought Odette’s arms back down into her side shaking his head, while Odette was smiling as if she had just won the lucky lotto.

Gabriel: Are we home?

Odette shook her head from side to side.

Gabriel: Are you okay?

She nodded her head up and down delighted.

Gabriel: Then what’s wrong?

Odette: Is this your card?

Holding up the three of clubs right in front of his face Gabriel had to double blink to read the numbers and to work out what the symbol it was.

Gabriel: O…

Gabriel’s voice was husky, he was tired and now he had been woken up to the card game he was playing before he went to sleep.

Odette: Well is it?

Gabriel: No Honey, it’s not…

Just as soon as Gabriel replied the captain made a call over stated that they would be landing in five minutes, much to his delight. Odette grumbled into the deck of cards in her hands once more and turned away from Gabriel annoyed that she had failed once again.

ONE HOUR LATER!

Odette: Okay… I’ve got it… is this your card?

Flashing him the six of hearts Gabriel shook his head once more.

Gabriel: O you have shown me basically half of the deck… I don’t think tonight’s your night… maybe we can try again tomorrow… or next week sometime?

Looking over at Gabriel who was behind the wheel of their Blood Red Bugatti Odette sighed, leaning forward she opened her Jimmy Choo handbag and furiously dropped the cards into it.

Gabriel: Hey, don’t be upset… even I still fuck up a card trick here and there.

If her green eyes could talk, they would be screaming bloody murder. Glaring at him Odette clenched her teeth together before turning to look out of the window. The next twenty minutes would be a very quiet twenty minutes. Exactly what Gabriel was most likely after? After being swamped with “is this your card?” for the last two hours plus.

TWO HOURS LATER!

Odette and Gabriel had finally made it home, unpacked and were ready for bed. Sitting on the edge of their normal king size bed Odette watched the bathroom door like a hawk. Hearing the hand basin tap turn off Odette stood up and took two steps towards the door. Gripping onto the collar of her soft pink silk night gown Odette watched as the handle on the door turned and made a popping noise before swinging inwards. Gabriel staggered out of the bathroom, his hair still wet from his shower. Taking a step out of the bathroom Gabriel stopped and looked over towards Odette, concern yet a hint of curiosity danced in his dark eyes. Taking another step closer towards her Gabriel looked behind him before turning back to Odette, unsure what he was walking into.

Gabriel: What are you up to?

Prancing up towards him, her feet barely making contact with the wooden floor boards Odette stopped a short distance away from him. Grabbing onto the two thin strings of her nightie Odette swung them around in her hand biting down on her bottom lip. Gabriel just watched her, not saying a word as she flicked a long lock of her brown hair over her shoulder. Her hand returned to the thin silky belt, as she slowly started to pull them away from her body.

Odette: Hey Gabriel…

She didn’t let him respond, instead she just ripped at her night gown, pulling the strings free of their knot before grabbing onto the collar opening her thigh length coat.

Odette: Is this your card?

There it was, placed mischievously under the pink strap of her bra. Tracing her right next index finger over the shiny cardboard card Odette gleamed with desire as she went to remove the Seven of Spades. Before she could remove the card, she felt all of her weight of her body being removed as Gabriel tackled her. Picking her up in one swift movement Gabriel speared Odette back first onto their king side bed. Her night gown sprawled open showing her body that was barely covered by a soft pink lingerie set. Lowering his head in towards her Gabriel gazed just briefly into Odette’s eyes, the harden look on his face was demanding. He had endured a lot tonight with Odette and her mind games, card trick or not, she was trying to push his buttons and she had succeeded. Looking up into his usually warm eyes, Odette licked her lips wanting him to make the first move; after all she wasn’t exactly sure what he was thinking. She knew that she had annoyed him earlier, only time would tell what her “punishment” would be. Running his tongue across his bottom lip Gabriel clamped his teeth together, his breathe running hot out through his nostrils. Dropping his neck in lower Gabriel’s lips were just inches away from Odette’s as the two contemplated their next advance, the Aussie decided to break the peace.

Odette: So is it?

Fluttering her eyes lashes at him, playing the innocent card Odette should have known better but she couldn’t help herself. She had driven Gabriel close to breaking point with her contestant questioning tonight, while secretly knowing she had his card up her sleeve or in her case under her bra strap the whole time. Breaking the absence of his voice once more, her voice was pleading.

Odette: Don’t make me have to ask you again.

Giving him an ultimatum, tonight she was being daring. A suppressed growl left Gabriel’s lips as he ducked his head in closer aligning his lips with her left ear. Brushing her hair out of his way, he tucked in letting his accent vibrate down to salsa on her ear drum.

Gabriel: Well played… well played.

Letting his lips linger near her ear, he pressed them against her flawless skin. Burrowing in towards her neck, feeling his two day old stubble brush past her skin Odette exhaled, wanting more. Gabriel’s lips haunted her neck line, before starting to make their way back up towards her jaw. Just passing by her jaw, he kissed up to her lips, before tenderly taking her fleshy bottom lip in between his teeth. Applying the slightest amount of pressure, Gabriel hooked his right arm up and under Odette’s knee. Cradling her leg in towards his torso, rubbing her pouty lip between his teeth Gabriel tugged backwards. Releasing her to look back into her eyes, Odette brought her head up off the bed. Her hands rushing to find either side of his face, before collapsing her lips on to his at first the kiss was delicate and light like a summer breeze but the moment Odette felt Gabriel lower his body down firmly to hers all self-control was lost. To say it was going to be along night for the two would be an understatement after tormenting her boyfriend for the last few hours, no doubt Gabriel had a few tricks of his own he wanted to share with Odette.

~~~

The following morning, Odette had woken up well before Gabriel. In fact she had time to shower and change into “yard” clothes. Skipping down the main stair case inside their house, Odette dashed towards the back door. In one swift movement the door handle was turned, the door was opened and she was outside. Letting the morning sun warm her skin Odette turned to shut the door quietly. While walking away from her house she reached into her cargo short pocket pulling out her IPhone. Tapping away quickly at the touch screen Odette looked over her shoulder and up towards the balcony that lead into her bedroom she shared with Gabriel. To her knowledge he was still fast asleep. Walking off towards the paddock next door Odette, looked down at her text message to reread if before sending it.

Joshua, hope this doesn’t wake you. Just hoping you had any information about helping me locate Tyson? Trying to keep this from Gabriel is harder than I thought. Hope to speak to you soon.

Pushing her phone back into her back pocket Odette, approached a set of gates that lead into her zoo. While the block of land her zoo would soon call home. After entering the property Odette took a look around. She loved coming home; she loved watching her mad project she was working on with Gabriel take place. Walking around the dirt path Odette looked around, searching for someone. Just as she was about to take another step forward loud booming voice could be heard from behind her.

Voice:Odette over here…

Turning in the direction of the voice The Australian headed towards her left. Walking out behind a set of tall unplanted plants a short man flagged her down.

Odette: Frank

Waving towards Frank Odette jogged up towards him, her right hand out stretched for a hand shake. As the two greeted the old man started to direct Odette through their progress.

Frank:Well you and Gabriel weren’t away for that long, but that didn’t mean that we slacked off I assure you. Take a look around we’re on schedule… We have the bird cages coming in this afternoon that will be craned in. The small enclosures are complete… and well… just so you know the super-secret tiger exhibit… is looking good.

Odette: Frank you and your team never cease to amaze me… so how much longer do you think we have?

Frank looked around before stroking his chin deep in thought.

Frank:Well on the construction sides of things we’ve got about two weeks… then with the landscaping you’re looking at a week and a half. So give or take a month.

Clapping her hands in delight Odette was thrilled.

Odette: I can’t believe how quickly this has all come together, it’s amazing.

Frank:Well… when you and Gabriel are paying extra to have more man power on the site, that sure does make it a lot easier.

Shaking her head, Odette just smiled but she was taken back.

Odette: Interesting…

Frank:What’s that?

Odette: I just didn’t know we we’re paying for extra man power that’s all.

Frank:Gabriel gave us clearance, he said it was important to have this all completed before your 25th birthday…

Odette: oh really?

Frank:Why do I get the feeling I’ve said too much?

Laughing lightly Odette smiled down to the old man.

Odette: I would say so too, but hey… let’s just hope you can keep your mouth shut about the tiger enclosure hey?

Frank:Odette, I must ask you… what have you been telling Gabriel when he asks what’s underneath the massive shed at the back of the grounds?

Pointing at the big black shed, that was hiding the tiger enclosure Odette smiled brightly.

Odette: I’ve been telling him it’s the feed and seed shed and IF he ever asks you… it’s the same response okay?

Frank:Sure thing Odette!

The old man looked a bit taken back, but gave the Aussie a warm smile.

Odette: So Frank, what can I do to help… today consider me a tradie.

The two walked off as they discussed about the jobs that needed completing that Odette was more than happy to help out with, while Gabriel caught up with his sleep.

~~~

A few days later!

Odette: It’s all there Joshua I promise…

Despayre: You say that, but it’s our duty to double check it.

Opening up outside Odette and Gabriel’s home, we find the loveable Aussie standing next to Despayre and of course Angel. Despy is clutching onto Angel, while rummaging through a brown box, that’s placed on the top stair that leads to the porch.

Despayre: Blood sample check… urine sample check… saliva sample check… girlfriend application forms check…

Odette was looking nervously over Joshua’s shoulder, as the boy talked to his soft teddy companion.

Despayre: Bribery bag of candy and cupcakes…

Turning around to look at Odette over his shoulder Joshua shook his head disappointed because the treats were missing from the box. Laughing slightly Odette removed her hands from out behind her back and held out a small black box. Despayre reached up with his grabby hands, once he was holding onto the cardboard casing he ripped off the lid. Inside the box it was filled the brim of different types of lollies and sweet treats that Odette knew that Despayre liked even a jar filled with purple skittles.

Despayre: Check…

Odette: So is it all there Joshua?

Narrowing his eyes at her then back down to the box Despayre gave Odette a small smile.

Despayre: Yeah Yeah…

Grabbing the box under one arm Despayre and Angel walked off with the box of Odette’s DNA and her application form to become “Gabriel’s Girlfriend” and jogged off towards Synn’s luxury sports car. As Odette watched him run off she turned wand went to make her way back into her house, but found Synn standing smack bang behind her. Synn had his trademark half smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, very cold in fact.

Synn: Odette… may I have a word with you?

Looking up at Synn like a deer in headlights Odette sucked in her bottom lip, while nervously rubbing her right hand on the back of her neck.

Odette: Ummm sure…

Synn didn’t wait very long before jumping straight into his interrogation.

Synn: Would you care to explain to me what you and Joshua were talking about on that flight back to Vegas a few weeks back?

Odette: Synn believe me I would love to tell you, but it’s a surprise for Gabriel and I really want to keep it that way.

Synn: Do you doubt my ability to hold my tongue Miss Ryder?

Odette: No.. no…

Speaking quickly yet quietly Odette looked around keeping an eye out for anyone who could be listening in.

Odette: I want to keep it a secret between Joshua and I… I promise you Synn no harm will come from it. I just want Joshua to feel very much involved in the surprise as what I am…

Synn: and what surprise is that?

Odette: Were going to… hey… I see what you’re trying to do and it’s not going to work.
Synn had a tell-tale smirk on his face, pushing his hands deep into his pockets he took a step forward but was stopped by the familiar English accent of Gabriel.

Gabriel: What’s everyone whispering about?

Odette flashed Synn that look. That look the screamed, if you say anything I’ll kill you. The look that only a woman could master and effectively deliver to a man regardless of their relationship. A look that painted a very grim picture if the silent truce was ever broken. As Odette’s emerald eyes scanned Synn’s face she exhaled a breath of relief as Synn nodded his head ever so slightly. Turning back too look at his ‘son’ Gabriel, a smirk crossed his face.

Synn: Just saying our goodbyes Gabriel…

Odette: Yeah just saying our goodbyes.

The Australian nervously walked up the stairs, wrapping her opened arms around the abdomen of Gabriel. Gabriel wrapped his arms around Odette’s back pulling her into him, laying a kiss on top of her head.

Gabriel: Are you sure you don’t want to stay for dinner?

Synn: Joshua and I must be going, no doubt we have a fun filled evening of testing and marking a certain Girlfriend agreement.

Turning back to look at Synn Odette flashed a forced and almost fake smile. She wasn’t meaning to be rude, she was just over the rules so to speak.

Odette: No doubt.

Synn: Now, now Odette… remember what got you into this predicament?

Gabriel: A perfectly executed mind fuck to Jordan Williams?

Odette: One of the best special guest referee entrances of all time?

Gabriel: Here, here…

Synn: I was going to go with the more obvious… the lying…

Odette: Oh, yeah right… that.

Sucking in her pouty bottom lip Odette huffed and puffed as Gabriel gripped onto his Aussie tighter. As the three continued to talk saying their goodbyes, a loud honking sound was heard coming from the driveway. Synn, Gabriel and Odette all turned to look in the direction of Synn’s car, finding Joshua sitting in the front passenger seat. Leaning across to the steering wheel Despy honked the horn once more, waving his father over with his free right hand. Turning back to Gabriel and Odette Synn lightly laughed.

Synn: I guess that’s my cue.

Taking his leave Synn walked off but on his way over towards his car he pulled out the car keys from his jacket pocket. Twirling the silver keys around his right index finger, Synn was about to call out something but stopped smirking over towards his son.

Synn: I don’t know how he does it.

Mumbling under his breathe The mentor of the Seven Deadly Sins hopped into his car and shortly after the two house guest disappeared into the afternoon horizon. Gabriel looked down at Odette stroking the side of her face with the back of his right hand.

Gabriel: So what are our plans for tonight?

Smiling up at him with a hint of mystery in her eyes Odette seductively bit down on her bottom lip.

Odette: Well… did you want to see another magic trick?

Faking a shocked amusement Gabriel played along.

Gabriel: You know another one?

Narrowing her eyes at him she playfully whacked his arm.

Odette: I know plenty trick Gabriel… trust me…

Gabriel: Okay so what one will you demonstrating tonight?

Licking her lips, she pulled away from Gabriel slowly but her arms where still linked around his lower back.

Odette: I was going to pull a ‘Rabbit’ out of a hat…

Gabriel: Sounds interesting…

Leaning in Gabriel pressed his lips against Odette’s for a second but then quickly pulled back.

Gabriel: What a minute we don’t a rabbit?

The Questioning look on Gabriel’s face was priceless. Pulling herself out of his grasp Odette took a step past him.

Odette: Or do we?

Walking back into the house laughing the Aussie left a speechless Gabriel out on the front porch. Shaking his head, his out of control hair swayed from side to side. Turning on the balls of his feet Gabriel walked back into his house shutting the door behind him.

Gabriel: O! Honey… we don’t own a rabbit do we?

Gabriel couldn’t see Odette, but he listened to her voice as she called out from one of the rooms.

Odette: I don’t know honey! You’re the man of the house you tell me…

Gabriel: Ha-Ha very funny.

Odette: I thought so…

As Gabriel was off on a search for Odette, she was hatching her own evil plans. Rounding a corner Gabriel crashed into Odette who was putting her long hair up into a messy bun on the very top of her head. Looking around the room that was the study / library Gabriel was looking for any signs of them owning a bunny. Punching him softly on the chest Odette laughed.

Odette: Oh would you relax; you’re only twenty-eight… your too young to have a heart attack. I didn’t buy a rabbit…

Gabriel: Are you sure?

Odette: Trust me Gabriel I didn’t buy a rabbit…

Relaxing in the situation Gabriel pulled Odette’s body into his kissing the top of her head. The sense of relief expelling off his body was whimsical, normally Gabriel wouldn’t care about Odette purchasing another animal.

Gabriel: Okay let’s get some dinner organised, I’m starved.

Just as Gabriel was about to turn around and head towards the kitchen something caught the corner of Odette’s eye. Grabbing onto Gabriel’s cotton shirt she yanked him forward planting a kiss on his lips that was sporadic at first but Gabriel was quick to catch Odette’s needing pace. Mirroring her actions the Millwall lover’s body melted into his girlfriends. Opening her left eye Odette watched as Princeton, Carrot and Alcide all ran around jumping and playing with one another dashed across the room. That’s not what she was distracting Gabriel from, what she was concealing from Gabriel was in fact bouncing across the hard wooden floor boards tripping over it large droopy yet fluffy ears. The bunny that was yet to be named was trying to keep up with his playmates but was having a hard time finding his feet. Once the animals were out of the room Odette closed her eye and put her full attention back into the kiss. Breaking it a fair time after Gabriel and Odette broke away breathless.

Gabriel: What was that for?

Odette: Because I love you silly…

Gabriel: I love you too Odette.

Embracing into a hug Gabriel whispered into Odette’s ear.

Gabriel: How about I make you your favourite for dinner tonight?

Odette: Honey and Cinnamon toast?

The excitement in her voice was paramount.

Gabriel: Why not? Let’s start the day again with some breakfast for dinner… because I plan on keeping you up all night…

Odette: Sounds like a perfect idea baby…

Without another word Gabriel rested his lips on Odette’s once more before leaving the study and heading towards the kitchen. Odette watched him until he was no longer in sight and desperately took off in search of her new fluffy four legged friend.

Odette: Odette Nicole Ryder you’ve done it again!!!

Rushing off with a smiled plastered across her face she was happy that Gabriel hadn’t caught glimpse of their new furry pet after all Odette wanted to show Gabriel a “pull the rabbit out of the hat trick” and if they didn’t “own” a rabbit, when she did pull one out of a hat it would be magical am I right? Right? Right? Oh who am I kidding Odette just loves to collect small furry animals.

~~~

Let’s hop skip and jump a few days in fact let’s open back up two days before Into the Void II!

~~~

Despayre: Okay Odette Nicole Ryder, are you ready to play… who wants to be a Millionaire?

Odette: Umm Joshua I thought we we’re doing a small quiz about Gabriel?

Despayre: Think again.

Opening up Odette finds herself sitting across from the Seven Deadly Sin’s member Despayre who as always has Angel glued to his lap. Three things separate them, two computer screens and a desk. The setting is much like a shot from the popular game show on Australian and American television, “Who wants to be a Millionaire?” there’s a makeshift grand stand and sitting in the front row is Synn, Melody, Rage, Shane, Fantasia and of course Gabriel. The lighting is the trademark dark blues and beaming spot lights as the heart thumping “thinking” music is playing softly yet mockingly in the background. As Odette adjusts her position the swivel chair she looks over towards Gabriel with a happy yet pouty face as he quickly fires her two thumbs up.

Gabriel: You got this baby…

Blowing him a kiss Odette turns back to face Joshua and sighs out loud.

Odette: Okay let’s get this thing out of the way.

The lighting flickers down and the spot lights shine on Odette, Joshua and Angel as the first question is about to be asked.

Despayre: Do you know how to play this game Odette?

Odette: We have something similar to this on Australian television I think I’ll be fine.

Despayre: Tonight you will be playing for the injured Teddy Bear Society and for every question you get right the money will be donated to helping protect Teddy Bears all over the world from all sorts of abuse.

Raising her right eyebrow Odette sucks in her bottom lip before questioning the Host.

Odette: I thought I was playing so prove my love for Gabriel?

Despayre: Blah…

Odette rolls her eyes as Joshua sticks out his tongue in disgust.

Despayre: Okay Miss Ryder, your first question for the night is… it’s an easy one… and it’s for one thousand dollars… what colour are Gabriel’s eyes? Are they A – Blue, B – Green, C – Grey or D – Brown?

After Joshua finishes reading out the questions the Question and four possible answers roll up on the screen in front of Odette. Odette doesn’t waste any time locking in her answer.

Odette: Well Joshua, that’s easy lock in D. Gabriel’s eyes are Brown.

Option D lights up as Odette locks it in as Joshua and Angel lean forward in their chair.

Despayre: You have locked in D… Brown… and well congratulations Odette you have won one thousand dollars…

Lifting her arms up in the air in celebration Odette does a small victory dance as the crowd goes… silent… Rage can be seen closing his eyes about to go to sleep. Shane and Miss Lusty are giggling away together. Synn appears to be checking his emails Melody is giving Joshua her full attention while Gabriel gives Odette another quick thumbs up.

Despayre: Don’t get too confident there, that was the first question it’s supposed to be easy… okay are you ready for question two?

Odette: It’s game time, bring it on.

Joshua swipes his hand over the screen and brings up question two.

Despayre: Okay for two thousand dollars here is question two… out of which of these four colours is Gabriel’s favourite? A – Black, B- White, C – Silver or D – Orange?

Despy clutches onto Angel tightly as the thumbing heart beat music pours out from the speakers once more. Odette leans back in her chair and claps her hands in delight.

Odette: This is child’s play… A and B are shades not colours… Lock in C… C for silver.

Despayre: Angel says that you mean S for silver right?

Odette: S isn’t an option Joshua… so lock in C..

Despy pushes the C button on the computer in front of him and it lights up before flickering three times before the chiming sounds of victory are heard. Odette looks towards Despy with a massive smile on her face as Despayre.

Despayre: C is correct, that’s two thousand dollars for the Teddies.

Odette crosses her legs seeming very confident that she is going to reach her goal of getting every question right.

Odette: I’m happy to help out Joshua!

Rage: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRINGGGGG

As Rage calls out from the stands he gets a fair elbow in the gut from Gabriel

Rage: I’m so bored… can I at least get a beer or something?

Despayre looks at Rage displeased but then turns back towards Odette.

Despayre: Let’s step it up a notch… okay the next question is for twenty thousand dollars… oh boy this question is genius.  

Despy clutches on to Angel in delight as his eyes light up as the question lights up on both computer screens.

Despayre: Who is Gabriel’s favourite person to tag with? A – Odette Ryder, B - Despayre… that’s me, C - Roxi Johnson or D – Jordan Williams.

Odette thought she knew the answer to this, in fact she did know the answer to this but just as she was about to open her mouth Despayre has locked in answer option B for Despayre. As Odette was about to argue the screen flickered and the victory music played loudly through the speakers. Turning to look at Gabriel who was looking up at the ceiling, ignoring her Odette huffed. Looking back across at Joshua, who was doing a victory dance of his own holding Angel above his head like a trophy he gleamed at Odette.

Odette: That’s not fair; I didn’t even get to lock my answer in…

Despayre: I know… I did it for you, it’s better this way

Odette: How’s that?

Despayre: Angel says that you would have said yourself and he said to save your feelings from being hurt we should just get it over and done with. No hard feelings?
 
Grimacing towards him Odette flicked a long strand of brunette hair out of her line of sight. Adjusting the hem line of her skirt she was clearly annoyed by the answer but she was still smiling on the outside.

Despayre: Okay let’s keep the ball rolling, question four. Now this one is a little bit trickier… okay… Odette for half a million dollars… What is Gabriel’s favourite movie of all time? A- The Rocky series, B – The Warrior, C – The Warriors or D – Two girls One cup?

Staring at Despy Odette shook her head, her eyes almost bugging out of their sockets.

Odette: I’m sorry can you repeat D for me?

Despayre: Ummm Two Girls One Cup? That sounds like a terrible movie title to me…

Synn interested had picked up as to where his son might have heard of this movie title. The Aussie was now in a fit of laughter, hiding her mouth behind her hands she tried to compose herself.

Despayre: I don’t get it? Is it a movie about sharing? Because if there is only one cup, how do two girls get to use it? Makes no sense to me

Biting down on her bottom lip Odette brushed away the tears that were building up in her eyes. Rage’s rare but loud laugh could be heard from the grandstands as Synn was now starring a whole into Shane and Fantasia.

Shane: Don’t look at me mate, I ain’t got anything to do with that.

Gabriel’s hands flung up in innocence

Gabriel: I’m into certain things but even that’s a bit much for me.

Odette: Oh boy this is way too much fun.

Despayre: What’s the answer Odette, is it A B C or D?

Holding back another laugh Odette straightened herself up in the chair. Taking a big deep breath she twirled a strand of her chocolate coloured hair around her right index finger.

Odette: Well it’s not D that’s for sure. I’m tossing up between B and C… It’s the bloody S on the end… I never know…

Looking at Gabriel for help, Joshua was quick to stop any form of cheating.

Despayre: HEY, EYES OVER HERE… Angel says if your caught cheating you lose the game.

Looking back at Joshua Odette gave him an apologetic stare

Odette: Can I use a life line?

Despayre: Sure…

Odette: Can I go fifty fifty?

As Odette selected her lifeline the screen buzzed to life eliminating two of the incorrect answers which happened to be A and D.

Odette: Drat damnit!!!

Despayre: Odette has officially used her first life line and she is stuck between B – The Warrior or C The Warriors.  

Rage: I saw that coming.

Melody: Shut up Rage!!! Come on O, you know this…

Flashing Melody a smile the Australian turned back to the screen in front of her, bringing her manicured nails up to her lips she was about to bite down on them but she suddenly almost busted out of her seat.

Odette: Lock in C Joshua… it’s The Warriors.

The screen flashed up green once more as the Answer was correct, Odette celebrated with a little dance in her chair shaking her hands up above her head like she holding up a victors cup. Suddenly the music in the room shifted to a more dramatic thud, booming like thunder as Despy and Angel’s happy expressions left their faces (well Joshua’s face more so than Angel)

Despayre: Okay Miss Ryder… we are down to the pointy end of the night… two more questions to go… are you ready to face the ultimate test?

Odette: Shoot!!!

Despayre: Okay… for three quarters of a million dollars here is the second last question of the night. Where did Gabriel’s first work? … A – Pawn Shop, B – McDonalds, C – Subway or D – The local cinemas?

The music boomed louder as Odette’s face lit up, she knew this one it was easy, but now she was having too much fun.

Odette: Can I phone a friend?

Despayre:  If you must?

Pulling out her white IPhone Odette dialled a number and the sound of a phone ringing started to buzz in the arena. Despayre instantly looked over to Gabriel but Gabriel showed him his phone to prove that Odette wasn’t calling him. After a few seconds Despayre looked down to his pocket on his pants and felt a vibrating phone going off. Pulling the phone from his pocket Joshua brought it up to his ear.

Despayre: Oh Hi Odette, I haven’t seen you in a while, what are you up to?

Wait a minute!

Odette: Oh nothing much Joshua, just chilling… just calling to see how you are?

Despayre: I’m fine..

Odette: How’s Angel?

Despayre: Angel says hello, he’s fine.

Odette: How was your father’s day surprise for Synn?

Despayre: It went down well, wait how did you know about my surprise?

Odette had said too much and she quickly made the crackling sound as if their phone call was breaking up.

Odette: I’ve… I… got… go… can’t… he…ar yo….u!

Hanging up the phone Odette slipped it back into her lap, while Joshua held the phone to his ear.

Odette: Lock in A please Joshua.

Holding a finger up to Odette to silence her Despayre was still trying to talk to Odette on the phone. Dropping the phone back down to his side Joshua shrugged.

Despayre: Musta gone through a tunnel or something.

Turning back to Synn Despayre shrugged his shoulders before looking back at Odette.

Despayre: I’m sorry what did you say?

Odette: I would like to lock in A please Joshua… Gabriel worked at a Pawn Shop. Although I don’t know how much of that was done over the counter compared to his back pocket…

She was referring to his more criminal days.

Odette: But I love him and he has changed since then takes a big man to change his ways.

Rage: Cough pussy whipped cough

Gabriel turned to Rage and just shrugged his shoulders smiling.

The screen lit up green once more symbolizing that Odette had the right answer.

Odette: WHOOOOOMPAAAA!!!

Clapping with glee and excitement Odette was acting as if she had just won the whole series. Joshua corrected his position with Angel in his lap and cleared his throat.

Despayre: Settle down, settle down… you still have one more question to go.

Odette: Hit me with your best shot!!!

FIIIIREEE AWAY!!!!

Despayre: Okay… this is for the big bucks, this is for the million dollars…

Odette: Okay… let me at it…

Despayre: Your final question for the night Odette is this… What is Gabriel’s last name? Is it A – The Great, B – The Magician, C – The Magnificent or D – The Illusionist?  

Odette double blinked at Joshua, shaking her head. While everyone’s eyes fell onto Gabriel.

Shane: Gabriel doesn’t even have a last name…

Melody:This is a hard one, like hard like ice…

Odette: It’s none of them Joshua…

Despayre: Then what is it?

Odette could feel the glare of many eyes on her back as she got up off her chair and walked towards Despayre. Bending down she looked over to Gabriel who gave her the thumbs up, before she started to whisper into Despayre’s ear. As Odette gave Despy the answer he covered Angel’s ears so he couldn’t over hear. Turning to look at Gabriel as Odette pulled back from his right ear Despy jumped up from his seat and raced over towards his tag team partner. Cupping his hand over his mouth Despy whispered the same name that Odette had whispered into his ear, pulling back Joshua waited on with Angel hanging by her left hand for the answer. The London native nodded his head to say yes and Despy turned to Odette who was already skipping over towards Gabriel.

Despayre: THAT’S YOUR LAST NAME?

Gabriel: Yep!

Rage: Tell us…

Despayre turned to Rage and poked out his tongue.

Despayre: I know Gabriel’s last name and you doOoOoooon’t HAHA!!!

Running away from the group Despayre hit the screen with his hand and the bell rang out through the room claiming Odette to be the “winner” of a Million dollars for charity. Balloons and confetti started to fall from the roof. Gabriel jumped over the barricade, swooping into pick up his tiny girlfriend up in his arms, spinning her around, while planting his lips firmly on hers.

Despayre: Odette what do you have to say for winning the money for the Injured Teddy Bear Society?

Odette backed away from Gabriel as he put her down on her feet, stepping up beside Joshua she draped her arm over his shoulders.

Odette: I’m glad I could help out…

Despayre: You hear that? One Million dollars is heading your way Teddies…

Odette stopped celebrating and turned back to Despy and Angel

Odette: What a minute where is this money coming from?

Despayre: Your bank account!

Saying those words proudly Joshua smiled brightly.

Odette: Oh oka---HEY!!!

Despayre: but, but, but it’s for a good cause?

Flashing Odette those adorable, cheeky childlike eyes Odette sighed and gave in.

Odette: Fine… it would be my honour to donate to your charity of choice Angel!!!

With that said they group went back to hounding Gabriel, Odette and Despy to find out what Gabriel’s last name was.

What you thought I would tell you? HAHAHAHAHAH NO!!!

~~~

It’s D day if you will and still Amanda was waiting patiently for a promo to air from her opponent at Into the Void II… well ladies and gents, get ready for it… in three… two… one… WHOOOOOMMMMPAAAA!!!

~~~

“Oooh whatcha gonna now? Whatcha gonna do when the rhythm comes kickin you?”  The spine tingling sounds of Dimestone Hood blares across the personal address system the SCW arena fills with cheers. Walking out from behind the black curtain Odette Ryder comes out waving to her fans. Taking a moment at the top of the ramp she admires the loyal Sin City Wrestling fans and her Rydernites before she started to walk down the ramp. Slapping as many fans hands as she can along the way The Aussie stops to even take some pictures and sign some autographs. In no real hurry one of the SCW fan favourites takes her time admiring her fans, showing them gratitude with hugs and kisses on the cheek. Once she reaches the bottom the ramp she climbs the ring steps letting her Jimmy Choo peep toe heels clunk against the hard steel. Grabbing on to the middle rope, Odette enters the ring nice and slowly letting her short black and blue tight fitting dress ride up her toned thighs. She knew her limits she just liked to push them. Once inside the ring Odette waved some more into the sea of wrestling fans before taking a Microphone that was being offered to her by Justin Decent. Giving Justin a cheeky pinch on his right cheek – on his face Miss Ryder made her way into the centre of the ring. Letting her theme music die down, the Aussie lapped up the cheers from the fans. After a few seconds the Aussie brought the microphone up to her glossed lips, a smile beaming on her glowing face.

Odette: Hello Sin City Wrestling Loyalists.

Cheap fan pop! Odette licked her lips before continuing.

Odette: Well mates, you’re in for a little bit of a ride this afternoon. You see normally I don’t come out here the day before the show and drop my promo, normally I like to do these types of things somewhere quiet, somewhere where I can honestly take time to sit back and reflect… but this week what I have to say can’t and won’t be ignored. You see normally I’m not so silent; normally I’m not so reserved but it’s come to my attention that my silence hasn’t been well received… well here I am Mandy, live microphone in hand… the question is can you hear me now?

Flicking a long lock of her brown hair from her face Odette started to walk around the ring.

Odette: Let’s hope so because what I’m going to say to you, what I’m going to tell you is long overdue. You amaze me Mandy, you really do and trust me booger bear I don’t mean that in a positive go lucky way. For someone who has a past of being voiceless you sure as hell don’t know when to shut up, you sure don’t know when to stop and think before you speak. Let me put it this way I’m not saying you’re stupid, I’m just saying you’ve got bad luck when it comes to thinking. Don’t understand Amanda? I guess that’s a given... for weeks and weeks on end you have been coming at me, with this so called hatred, this so called uncontrollable distain towards me… and for what? For nothing! Do you honestly think that you’re the first girl, the only girl… that has ever come at me with the childish nonsense that you are trying to pass off as gospel?

Shaking her head in disappointment Odette continues.

Odette: Odette’s a slut, Odette’s a whore, Odette wishes she could be me, Odette is worthless, Odette can’t even hold a title… all statements you have said, all slate you have thrown my way and it’s laughable really. Firstly calling me a slut is like calling a grape a pear, calling me a whore as well as a slut means that you have access to a thesaurus. I wish that I could be you? Trust me that’s a thought that NEVER crosses my mind… but the true buttercream icing on top of this bitter cake, I’m worthless? I can’t hold a title? That’s funny coming from the girl who is also champions less but you want to know the main difference about you and me? It’s that I don’t need a belt to prove my worth, I don’t consider less of myself because I’m not parading around here with a championship belt. Mandy you seriously need to get over this vision in your head that my success is measured buy a championship belt… a belt doesn’t define me, an undefeated singles streak… now that pudding pop is what defines me. That’s what allows me stand out for the rest of the Bombshells here in Sin City Wrestling… hell even our current champion Misty can’t hold that candle… to me that that shows that no matter, who or what is thrown at me… I can and I will defeat them. So princess tickles… what is so damn special about you, that makes you think for a single second that you can stop the Ryderathon? What makes you think that you can topple my streak? What makes you think that you can beat me one on one? You know for such a small fish in a big pond your still desperately trying to take the biggest bite.

Stopping to listen to the fans cheers she walks over to the closes ring ropes and leans up against them.

[Melody Grace]

 Odette: But by all means if that’s how you think you’re going to get inside my head, have at it… just know the only reaction you’re getting from me is laughter.  In all seriousness tho Mandy I get that you want to end me, I mean who wouldn't? I might be the only damn Bombshell on the roster that doesn't have to hold a belt to get the fans attention, that still gets glorified as being one of the best Sin City Wrestling has to offer... and trust me baby girl that’s not me tooting my own horn, that's the cold hard truth. There isn't a week that goes by that I don't have people offering me a contract, offering me a slot at their federations just to show up at their weekly shows at their fancy opening days, their restaurants, at their stores... you want to know why peaches and cream? I get the crowd working, I get the crowd pumping and the best thing about it, I can do it without having to take my shoes off getting them tickled to the point of a near accident while parading around like a jacked up Kat Von D on a bad batch of Scott Stoner’s special brownies.

Dropping the microphone down to her side Odette let the Ryder chant take over for a few seconds before bring the microphone back to her glossed lips.

Odette: You want to know why the fans like me over you Mandy? Because I interact with them? I find it funny that week in and week out you cry like chef cutting up onions demanding to know why no one likes you why they won't listen to you and why no one takes you seriously? So many questions Amanda, lucky for you I know all the answers. No one likes you because you're un-relatable, hell I’m fairly sure you’re the reason the word sporadic was created. One week you’re crawling up the fans arses begging for them to like you, the next week you're telling them to go to hell. I thought for sure that SCW got rid of Carly Athens but would you lookie here, I found her reincarnation. No one listens to you because you have nothing new to say, it's the same bullshit... I’m going to smash her, I’m going to kill her, I’m going to destroy her all just empty threats all just empty statements... anyone can play by that game anyone can play irrelevant... hell I tell Gabriel all the time that I’m going to stop buying handbags, but we all know that's an empty promise. You really want the fans to acknowledge you? Stop the lies, stop the tough girl act... because in reality your just a bitch with her tail tucked between her legs basking in the glow similar to a deer in headlights.

“Ryder, Ryder, Ryder”

Odette: You see Amanda these loyal Sin City Wrestling fans know how to back a winner and trust me I’ve had their love and support from day one. It all boils down to a little word with a big meaning respect. You harp on about the fans being stupid because they chant for me, because they love me and ultimately dislike you… did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe that has something to do with the fact that you upped and left them for a cheap ride on Team Erik? Oh yeah by the way, how is that smart business move working out for you? I see that you and Laura are living the dream over there… getting your arses kicked week in and week out… getting busted on the drugs, been taken away from the championship spot light… ah and there it is… there’s the true motive about why you hate me. I have everything that you want… I have a loving relationship, I have the BEST fans in the world and I have every opportunity in the world to go for the Bombshell Championship, where you can’t… you couldn’t it all makes sense now. Jealously, she’s disease, jealously, it's like an addiction. A sick plague that had attached itself to you like mucus does to a lung... jealously Amanda is disintegrating. Not only does it mess with your mind but it misleads your senses. Not only are you coming into the match at Into The Void II blind, you’re coming into it out of your damn mind, if you think for one second that you, YOU can defeat me, you must be crazy.

Twirling her finger around her temple for the international sign of Crazy Odette laughed lightly into the microphone.

Odette: Jealously might be you motivation Mandy, but it sure as hell won't take you to the top it will be your down fall. Like a spiral stair case it's only a matter of time before somebody falls and I can guarantee that it won't be me. This coming Sunday Amanda, it time to put up and shut it… this is your chance to stop the streak, you have the chance to win, you have the chance to silence me… but trust me it’s not going to end the way you want it to. You’re not going to be the victor you’ll be just another Team Erik disappointment… This Sunday when it’s all said and done, this match won’t be so set in stone for you. This Sunday I promise you it will be the fight of your life… it’s not about what you have said, it’s not about what you have done… it’s about the people in the seats, it’s about putting on the best damn show of my life for my Rydernites, for the SCW loyal army… and trust me the louder they cheer the harder you will fall. Together the fans and I are unstoppable, unbreakable and together we will put a stop to Tickle Freak Bitch.

Pushing herself up off the ropes Odette walks back into the centre of the ring, licking her lips once more as she surveys the crowd.  

Odette: Together the Sin City Wrestling fans, the Rydernites, the Aussies, the battlers, the front rowers to the nose bleeders will rally beside me, they will guide me, they will inspire me, I promise action and they know the louder they scream the more extreme I get… so with all of us together…  we say this to you Amanda Cortez… Come Sunday… LET’S RIDE…

“LET’S RIDE” as the fan joins in with Odette, Blood in my eyes slam over the personal Address system. Handing the microphone back to Justin Odette exits the ring, only to walk around the six sided ring to shake hands, pose for photos and high five the fans. Fade the Black!!!!
