The End Is Here



==========

“The end is nigh…”

It’s dark and storming outside.  The only time we  can get any kind of glimpse of the surroundings is when the lightning flashes, and even then it doesn’t last long enough for us to get any good idea of where we are.  And yet while our sense of sight is somewhat obstructed, at least our other  senses, namely our sense of hearing, is still working properly.  The sound of clicking heels on pavement, a sound that seems to get louder and louder, indicates that someone is coming.  Eventually, the clicking heel noise stops.  A door opens and immediately the lightning flashes, flashing just long enough for us to see a female silhouette standing in the doorway.  The clicking heel noise begins again, indicating that the female is entering the doorway.  Finally the door is heard shutting.  Still, we are in total darkness and unsure of what is going on.

In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth and the earth was without form or shape, with darkness over the abyss and a mighty wind sweeping over the waters.   Then God said: Let there be light…”

The light suddenly switches on and we see a raven haired beauty in a black skirt that stops just below her knee, black high heeled pumps, a silky red blouse, and a black leather jacket.  The IWC Queen of the Ring Championship is slung over her right shoulder.

“…and there was light.

The woman smiles knowingly.  “You don’t know who I am, and after this rather spiritual introduction to my promo you might worry that I am just another evangelistic Bible beater…”

She shakes her head. “You’d be wrong.  I do use images of the end of times as well as darkness and light but I use them for different purposes than what you may believe.  I will get to those images in a moment.  But first allow me to introduce myself formally to the roster of Supreme Championship Wrestling.”

“My name is Jessica Corey Lasiewicz…my father is twelve time world heavyweight champion Andreas Lasiewicz…my mother is thirteen time world heavyweight champion Angelica Jones…as for me, I am the current IWC Queen of the Ring Champion.  And to say that I am unorthodox would be an understatement.”

She chuckles lightly. “Most people step into that ring and beat the holy hell out of each other for fame, fortune, personal glory, and gold trinkets like this…”

Jessica pats her title belt “...I do want to win, being recognized as among the elite superstars in the game is a goal of mine, but I also realize that there are more important things to fight for; I realize that sometimes you have to put the championship dreams of glory and grandeur to the side in order to fight for what’s best…for what’s right…”

“Lately I have made it my own personal quest to protect my sister Marie Annabelle Jones from a lifetime of bad decisions.  Her decision to join Ethan Von Aaron in The Good Movement put me in direct odds with that faction in IWC.   Marie, though, has since left Ethan and has taken on a new manager…”

“…Silas Mason…”

“…taking on Silas Mason as a manager has now forced my hand.  Now my problem is with Silas World because I know my sister can do better.  I know she doesn’t need them.  I know that, at the end of the day, being a member of Silas World will only hurt her.  It will hurt my mother too, I know my mother can do better as well, but I believe my mom is too far gone to be helped.”

“I can still help my sister.”

A knowing grin forms on Jessica’s face. “So why am I here?  Why did I enter an Open Invitation Battle Royal?  The reason is simple.  This is a free excuse to enter an event hosted by Supreme Championship Wrestling.  This is a free opportunity to get my hands on Silas World members and to make damn sure none of them win that battle royal, to make damn sure that I get to send a message to Silas Mason and my sister by sending their pals back to them in body bags.”

“And if they hide from me by not entering the battle royal?  Who says I can’t stalk them down backstage?  If I win…hey, all that much better!  But winning ultimately is not my goal so I won’t lose any sleep over not winning this battle royal.  My goal is to make certain people bleed.”

“The end IS truly nigh and it is nigh for anyone who stands in my way of protecting my sister from herself and from the worst possible mistake she has made thus far in her career…the end is nigh for anyone who thinks they  can stop me, because  I am not just any normal professional athlete.  I am an oncoming storm.  I am The Morning Star.  And you will remember me when the day of judgment comes for you.”

“The end is also nigh for the year 2014.  A lot has changed in one year, especially for my family, some good and some not so good.  The lights are slowly coming down upon 2014 and a new bright light will soon shine upon a new year, the year 2015, a chance to change things, to make certain things right.”

She frowns. “I make things right by doing my part to help finish off what some brave souls here in SCW and even in IWC have started, the end of Silas World, the crippling of Silas World.  I make things right in 2015 by burning the son of a bitch to the ground.”

“And if anyone in the End of the Year Battle Royal wants to stop me, if anyone in SCW wants to stop me, be my guest, come and place ya bets boys and girls, you’ll come up snake eyes just like everyone else!”

She shuts her eyes. “Dobranoc…”

The Full Revenge




==========
Scene 1
Off Camera
==========

Traumatic, life altering events tend to change a person.  In the case of one Marie Annabelle Jones, the traumatic experience of being kidnapped transformed her from a good-hearted, warm, caring individual and into a selfish, self-centered, manipulative bitch who would do anything to get ahead.  Jones decided from then on that she would need people to watch her back so as to ensure that she never again would be harmed by anyone in the wrestling industry.  She also wanted her revenge, a revenge that would be two-pronged: the first would be against her half-sister, Kimberly Williams, the psychotic twin who actually kidnapped Marie and took her place in IWC.  The second prong of this revenge would be against the IWC roster itself, people she had once considered friends but none of whom seemed to care or even lift a finger to help her, people who didn’t care enough to notice that she was gone.

Abigail Lindsey, now known as Serenity, was the specific target of Marie’s initial rage.  The Phoenix had learned that Kimberly had let Lindsey in on her little secret.  Kimberly had confided in Abigail that she had kidnapped Marie and was impersonating her.

Abigail decided to do nothing.

Someone whom Marie thought she could trust, someone she thought she had built up a bond with, blatantly ignored what Kim had told her, she did not seek to help Marie.  Abigail, in fact, thought the “new” Marie (Kim) was better than the real Marie.  Good riddance!

If that’s how she felt, then fine, Marie would make sure Abigail Lindsey, or Serenity, or whatever the hell she called herself nowadays would get hers.  It would all be a part of her ultimate revenge, a revenge that would center around using Kimberly’s testimony to gain a legal victory over Abigail and then, eventually, a physical victory over her in what would no doubt be a fight more than a true blue traditional wrestling match, a match that will take place at the IWC End of Year Special.

This revenge would be a difficult one to achieve, and to achieve it she first joined up with Samantha Hodgson who got her an inside track to join The Good Movement.  And, initially, there was some success as Marie, with Hodgson’s help, obtained a lawyer who got Kimberly’s entire state and well-being turned over to Marie.  Thus Marie decided Kim’s fate and thus Marie held her former captor over a barrel.  So being a member of The Good Movement served its purpose for what it was worth, but ultimately Ethan Von Aaron became too busy chasing Rachel Frost’s skirt and Samantha Hodgson proved too weak an agent to give Marie what she ultimately wanted in terms of revenge.  Even the legal action against Abigail Lindsey seemed to stall.  Sure, she won her case, but Hodgson couldn’t pull the proper legal strings to be able to get the video footage of Abigail’s admission aired on live television.

The video footage was supposed to be the crowning achievement, the ultimate humiliation, and Samantha Hodgson couldn’t get the job done; Samantha side-tracked Marie’s revenge by getting her distracted in a brutal rivalry with Vanilla Skyy.

Jones saw the writing on the wall.  Ethan Von Aaron was of no help whatsoever with his Rachel Frost obsession and Samantha Hodgson proved to be completely inept at getting her what she wanted.  Young Marie knew what she had to do.  She had to abandon The Good Movement ship, she had to ditch Samantha Hodgson and find someone else who could assist Marie in finishing the job.

Enter Silas Mason.

Marie was not sure at first who to go to.  So where do children go to for advice when they need it most except their parents?  And Angelica Jones, who had long since wanted to help out her daughter, was more than willing to offer her assistance.

Angelica had remained on the sidelines only because Marie had requested it.  Marie wanted to be able to do this on her own.  She wanted to make a name for herself in this industry and not look like she couldn’t get the job done without her mother’s help.  Thus she asked her mother to stay out of her business and Angelica had honored this request.  Angelica wanted nothing more than to gut Abigail Lindsey herself for the part she played in her daughter’s kidnapping and yet she stayed out of it.  She stayed out of it in order to honor her daughter’s wish.

So when Marie Annabelle Jones came to her front door asking for help, Angelica was more than willing to offer her help.  But what Angelica offered was not merely motivational words or the promise of her back-up in case she went out after Serenity.

What Angelica offered Marie was the services of Silas Mason.

Initially Marie had been suspect of Silas Mason but, after witnessing what the man of a thousand hats did for her mother’s career (namely three world championships and ownership of Pro-Wrestling FRONTIER) she realized that perhaps this man very well could be the one who could finish the job against Serenity and get Marie the revenge she wanted.

And from there, championship gold.

This would complete most of the revenge she seeks.  Kimberly would have paid for what she did to Marie.  Abigail Lindsey would have been humiliated, humbled, and beaten down at the End of the Year Special.  And finally Marie could force the rest of IWC to sit up and take notice of her by winning championship gold.

First thing is first and that is to complete her revenge by defeating Abigail Lindsey…Serenity…whatever…at the End of the Year Special.  Marie is ready, willing, and able to take Serenity apart, piece by piece, and make her suffer, much like Marie herself suffered when she had been kidnapped by Kim.  Abigail could have rescued Marie simply by telling authorities what she knew but she didn’t.  Abigail remained silent and allowed Marie’s suffering and torture to continue.

Now Marie will make Serenity pay.

What brings the red-headed beauty to this mental hospital in Boston, Massachusetts on a bright sunny day when she could be training?  Despite the match coming up in a few short days, Jones cannot help but rub it in.  She cannot help but go see her twin Kimberly one last time, one final time, before her revenge is complete.

Marie Annabelle Jones wants to gloat.

Ok, so maybe it is typical cartoonish villainy to go and gloat over your foe before the final plan is complete.  Marie doesn’t really care.  She wants to gloat over Kim, gloat over the fact that she has defeated Kim once and for all.  That Kim and her war with the Jones family is truly done and over with.

The problem is that in your typical cartoon, when the villain goes to gloat over their fallen foe, things do not end well for the villain, and Marie has not taken that into consideration.

“I really don’t think this is a good idea.”

That is the voice of the chubby bushy haired lawyer known as James B. Garfield, the lawyer Marie hired back when she was still working with Samantha Hodgson.  He has been working with Marie on this case against Abigail Lindsey since day one, when she was aligned with Hodgson and The Good Movement.  Now things have changed drastically in a few short weeks.  Now suddenly she has broken from The Good Movement and has become a part of Silas World.  That means James B. Garfield has to work with Silas Mason.

And he doesn’t like it one bit.  The lawyer has heard many things about Silas, most of them bad, and he’d rather not have any dealings with him.  Unfortunately business is business and business requires that he do business with the devil.

Garfield was wary enough about this case as it is, considering he knew from the start, from her own words, that Marie really didn’t care about justice or restitution, that she just wanted to get back at Kimberly and Abigail out of spite.  But for Garfield, in his mind, whatever the  motive may be, Kimberly and Abigail were indeed at fault and besides, Marie is a paying customer.  A good paying customer.  The pay, in fact, has gotten better since Silas Mason became her manager.  So as much as he may distrust the man, at least there are some perks that go with working hand-in-hand with Silas Mason.

This chubby lawyer does know how the law works and he knows that Marie has her legal suit all wrapped up in a nice package with a bow on it.  But gloating around the star witness, the mental patient Kimberly Williams, could prove to be detrimental.  He knows this but Marie won’t listen.

“I don’t care, Jimmy.” The red-head remarks rather cheerfully. “This is a long time coming and I want to enjoy this.”

The pair approach the front door that leads to the entrance of this mental ward.  Jones reaches for the doorknob but James puts a hand on her wrist to stop her.

“I hope you do enjoy this, Ms. Jones, because you DO realize that this meeting between you and Kimberly very well could jeopardize everything you and I have achieved in your legal case against Ms. Abigail Lindsey, don’t you?”

Jones rolls her eyes. “Yes, Jimmy, I know,”

She turns around to face him “and that’s why I brought you along with me.  You are my legal consultant for a reason, Jimmy.  You make sure nothing happens.”

“That’s easier said than done, Ms. Jones…” he states slowly and quietly

“You are such a worry-wart!” Marie says so sickeningly sweet and cheerfully that it would make you vomit. “Relax!  This will be great!”

The pudgy lawyer shakes his head vehemently. “I cannot relax, Ms. Jones, not when my client is about to make a mistake.”

“How is this going to be a mistake?” She asks, beginning to show  signs of frustrations at her lawyer’s constant doubting and worrying. “I have YOU to make sure everything is legally fine.”

Garfield sighs, showing his own signs of frustration. “I cannot just make sure everything is legally fine.  The law is the law, Ms. Jones.  If the law is broken, I cannot help you.”

The Phoenix takes her hands and places them on her hips as she stares deep into the eyes of her lawyer James B. Garfield.  Jones is studying him intently, almost like a teacher would study and inspect an unruly student.  And honestly, for Marie, that’s kind of how she feels right now.  She is the authority figure, at least in her mind.  She pays this man.  He is supposed to work for her and do what she wants.  Now if he can’t do that, then there’s only one solution.

“Tell me something, James…”

Garfield gulps, swallowing hard.  She always calls him Jimmy unless she’s angry.  This is not a good sign.

“What, Ms. Jones?”

“…do you like the paycheck I give you?”

It doesn’t take much thought before James nods his head slowly but definitively. “Yes, yes I do like that paycheck very much.”

“Then you need to DO your job!”

Jones exclaims, not loudly but yet very pointedly and directed at Garfield.  It is meant to intimidate him and it is working.

“I pay you good money to do what I ask.  As long as you continue to do that job you will continue to get paid.  Now if you want then I can find someone else to give my money to, but that’s entirely up to you.”

The honest to goodness truth is that James B. Garfield knows that what Marie is about to do is a big mistake.  It isn’t illegal by any means but it is a mistake because it could give Kimberly legal ammunition to use against her in the future.  Marie doesn’t realize this; that or she just doesn’t care.  Nevertheless, he has done his job.  He has advised her.  Now all he can do is sit back and hope she doesn’t screw everything up for herself.  He’ll gladly continue to collect the paycheck either way.

Garfield nods his head.  “As you wish, Ms. Jones.”

“Wise decision.” She turns around and once again puts her hand on the doorknob. “Let’s go.”

She opens the door and steps inside.  She is followed by her lawyer, Mr. Garfield.  Immediately Jones scrunches her brow…she would normally go straight to the help desk but she doesn’t…

“Something is wrong.”

Garfield doesn’t even bother to question his client in this case.  The sight of orderlies and other security officials running to and fro is enough to tell at least part of the story.  There is DEFINITELY something wrong here.

“Maybe we should go?”

“No,” Marie insists “just wait here one second.”

The red-headed Phoenix from Boston makes her way over to the help desk to try and get some assistance, maybe find out what is going on, but before she can  get any farther she is intercepted by one of the security guards, who steps right in her way, blocking her way to the help desk.

“Ma’am, I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”

“What?!” She asks incredulously. “These are visiting hours.  I came to visit someone.”

“Visitation has been canceled for today due to an unforeseen emergency.  Now please leave.”

“What emergency?”

The security guard shakes his head. “I am not at liberty to discuss.”

“Ms. Jones!” She turns to find her lawyer flagging her down.  He is standing with a doctor, Kim’s assigned doctor. “Come over here, quick!”

Marie turns away from the security guard and makes her way over to her lawyer and the mental doctor.  “What is it?  What’s wrong, Dr. Graves?”

“You will have to forgive the staff, Ms. Jones,” he begins slowly with some trepidation “they are just following strict orders after we had an incident today.”

He points at Marie. “An incident that involved your sister.”

Her face grows pale. “What happened to Kim?”

“Well…there’s no easy way to put this…”

“What is it?!” She exclaims, getting more and more frightened. “Tell me!”

“…she escaped.”

Normally I don’t condone anything that Silas World does, just as I don’t condone the actions of The Good Movement or The Sinistry.  I try to keep myself held to a higher standard than others.  I would like to think that I don’t need goons and thugs to do my dirty work.

This is going to be one exception.  This will be one time, perhaps the ONLY time, when I fully and whole-heartedly condone anything that Silas World wants to do to Serenity at the End of the Year Special.

That’s right, as far as I’m concerned Silas World and my sister Marie can systematically pick her apart. They can butcher her, cripple her, end her career for all I care.  Let them have fun!

I have special insight to what happened to my sister when she was kidnapped.  I have a special insight simply because I was the one, one of the only ones, who actually put forth effort into trying to track her down and rescue her.  While everyone else was just willing to sit back and accept that the woman posing nude, picking fights with her former friends, disrespecting legends was the real Marie Jones…while everyone else was willing to accept all of that as fact, I knew better and I was busily formulating a plan to get to the bottom of it all.

My aunt Magdalena Évelyne Lasiewicz and friend of the family Levi Timothy Craig, better known to IWC as Leviticus, did some spying on the impersonator for me in order to gain important information.  But the ultimate trump card was played by Prince Kamijo.

Kamijo lured Kimberly into a sense of safety by playing upon her passion, her lust…yes, they had sex.  You all thought Marie was the one who had sex with Kamijo.  No, it was Kimberly impersonating Marie.  And Kimberly, just like all of you, made the same mistake everyone makes about Kamijo.

You take him for being an imbecile.  He is no imbecile, he is quite brilliant.  But Kim thought he was an idiot, she was he so stupid that she could trust him with her dirty little secrets.

And she told him everything.  Every damn bit of it.

Once I had that information secured, I set off to rescue my sister.  And rescue her I did.  But I remembered that information, all of those important details I learned from my aunt Magdalena, from Leviticus, and from Kamijo.  I remembered those details and I told them all to Marie.  She had to confirm a few for herself, because she couldn’t believe it.  And there was at least one even I was surprised to learn and even more disappointed to discover was true.

I was hoping that Kimberly was lying about telling you everything, Abigail.  But then it was confirmed.

My sister trusted you.  She thought you a friend due to the closeness of our families, the Jones and Lohan families.  But what you did proved that you are not a Lohan.  Not really.  A TRUE Lohan would have stood by my family and helped my sister.  Brittany…Dawn…they would have done the right thing.  They would have told authorities once they knew that Marie was kidnapped.

But you remained silent.  You allowed my sister to remain in a state of suffering.  I just have to ask you one question…

…are you stupid?  And no, I don’t mean for the simple fact that you endangered yourself legally.  You’re lucky CRIMINAL CHARGES weren’t pressed.  Civilly your ass was sued but criminally you could’ve gone to jail and you know it.

That’s not what I’m talking about, though.

Inciting the rage of any member of the Jones family is indeed quite possibly the stupidest thing anyone could ever do.  People who piss off the Jones family do not walk away under their own power.  Hell, sometimes they do not even walk away at all.

And what you now face is not just a member of the Jones family, but a member of the Jones family with an army at her beck and call.  Granted she has stated she doesn’t need them, but I know if I was in her position, I would damn sure be tempted to use them to my advantage.

I don’t know if you’re religious, Serenity, but if you are you had better pray…pray to God that you  survive The End of the Year Special, because survival is the best thing you can hope for right now.

Dobranoc…

Scene 2
Off Camera
==========

It is important to always keep your priorities straight.  It is always important to remember what is the most valuable things in your life.  For one Marie Annabelle Jones, family has always been the most important thing in her life.  Only the Chase family can perhaps lay claim to being a closer family than the Jones family.  It’s because they have always known, ever since the beginning, that they really had each other and that was it.  The matriarch, Kelly Jones, had been murdered and the patriarch, Bart Jones, ran off, leaving Angelic and Kayla alone to fend for themselves.  Angelica and Kayla would each have children who would have their own family issues to deal with and, in the case of Angelica, it would be issues with her ex-boyfriend and father of her oldest child.

Sean Williams and Angelica Jones conceived Marie Annabelle Jones.  But Marie wasn’t Sean’s only daughter.  He had a daughter from a previous relationship and that daughter’s name was Kimberly Williams.

The ironic thing is that Kimberly was a dead ringer for Marie.  They were damn near identical so, for all intents and purposes, they were twins.  Half-sisters and yet twins.  An oddity in life, and one Kim would use to her advantage later on when, after attempt after failed attempt to get revenge on Angelica Jones and the Jones family, failed plans that humiliated her and made her a laughing stock of the wrestling community, she finally decided that the best way to defeat the Jones family was to infiltrate them, to become them.  Thus she used her likeness to Marie to an advantage by kidnapping her and taking her place.

Declaring and waging war on the Jones family for as long as she did was bad enough, but the kidnapping drove Marie over the edge.  It drove Marie to the point where she wanted to give Kimberly and anyone who supported her a taste of their own medicine.

In other words, revenge was on her mind.

Revenge, though, has a nasty habit of blinding a person to priorities.  In Marie’s case, her desire for revenge blinded her to her priorities, causing her to forget about that important number one priority…

...family.

In an almost obsessive desire to see Kimberly in a helpless state and to gloat over what she hopes will be a pending victory over Serenity, thus completing her total revenge over Kimberly and Abigail for their involvement in this kidnapping scheme, she went to the mental hospital in Boston where Kimberly was being held.  Marie went there with her lawyer with every intent to gloat before Kim…

…the only problem is that Kimberly wasn’t there.  Kimberly had escaped.

Priorities are very important and Marie’s priority SHOULD have been her family, not an obsessive revenge against Kimberly and Abigail.  Thus she forgot about her family, namely her son.  She left him at the house with no supervision.  And Kimberly was out and about.

“Hurry!”

Marie exclaims from the passenger’s seat of the car driven by James B. Garfield.  Marie was definitely NOT in the frame of mind to drive.  She was too panicked with her psychotic evil twin running around free that she knew she wouldn’t be able to drive safely right now.  Thankfully she had a “designated driver” of sorts in the form of James B. Garfield.

“I’m sure your son is fine, Ms. Jones.”

Jones shakes her head vehemently.  The redhead wishes she could believe what Garfield just told her, she wishes she could believe those reassuring words, but she can’t.  She just can’t believe it.  Not when Kimberly is concerned.  Kim has been known to target at Marie’s heart and soul and her heart and soul is her son.  Kim knows this.

“You don’t know Kimberly like I do.” Marie says frantically. “She will strike at me.  She will strike where it hurts.”

“With all due respect, Ms. Jones,” he says with a sigh “you did provoke her.”

She shoots him a nasty glare. “Whose side are you on, anyway?!”

“Yours.” Garfield answers. “But nevertheless, you DID blackmail her into testifying against Abigail Lindsey.  You gloated more than once to her face and had planned on gloating again today.”

“Yes, and now my son is in danger.”

“You don’t know that.”

“Oh yes I do!” She nods her head. “I know it because I know her!  She is psycho!  She is crazy!  She’s…”

“…your half-sister.  She’s your family.”

Marie growls angrily. “Kimberly is NOT my family!”

“You share the same father, do you not?”

“Don’t split hairs.” She snaps back at him. “Kimberly made it abundantly clear long ago that the Williams family and the Jones family were to be mortal enemies.  She made it abundantly clear that I had to choose.  I am a Jones.  NOT a Williams.”

Garfield sees the pain and panic in the eyes and on the face of Marie Annabelle Jones.  This time he sees her as more than just a client.  He sees her as a concerned and frightened mother.  He wishes he could say or do more to help her but he cannot.  This is her fight.

“We’re here.”

He pulls into the driveway and the car comes to a stop.  “It appears as if no one is home.”

“Appearances can be deceiving.”  Jones states as she exits the car and makes a beeline for the front door.

The Phoenix swings the door open and steps inside, shutting the door behind her.  She scans the immediate area for signs of a disturbance but finds none.  The door was unlocked and that DOES give her cause for more concern.  She left it locked.

“Sean!” She shouts, calling out for her son Sean Connor Jones. “Where are you?!”

There is no response.  Again this causes more concern.  Marie begins to head towards the stairs but before she can begin to make her way up she notices shadows moving around on the floor in the living room.  She steps away from the stairs and then makes her way into the living room.  Inside she finds her son Sean on the floor playing with a familiar figure…

…a mirror image of Marie herself.  Clearly this is Kimberly, who has dyed her hair red again in order to match Marie.

“Kimberly…” Marie’s voice trails off.

“Hi there, sis!” She says cheerfully. “Say hi to your mommy, Sean.”

“Hi, mommy!” Sean waves at Marie.

Marie gulps nervously. “Kim, please step away from my son.”

“Since you asked so nicely.” Kim looks down at Sean. “Go upstairs sweetie.”

“Ok, Aunt Kim.”

Sean stands up and bolts past Marie and heads upstairs.  This leaves Marie alone with her half-sister and twin Kimberly Williams.  The invading red-head sits down on the sofa and then motions for Marie to join her.

“Come on over, Marie.  Let’s have a talk.”

“Not a chance.” She whips out her cell phone. “I’m calling the cops!”

“And then what?” Kimberly asks. “I’m going to be on the run anyway.  It isn’t like YOU can keep me here long enough for the police to arrive and apprehend me.  Before you can finish dialing the number I’ll be long  gone.  So before we get to that point why don’t we have a little chat?”

She smirks knowingly. “Aren’t you the least little bit curious about what I want to say to you?”

Jones stares long and hard at Kim and then down at her cell phone.  Marie contemplates the options, the pros and the cons of both actions, before finally making up her mind.  Against her better judgment, she walks over and sits down next to Kimberly.

“Glad we could have this chat, sis.”

“What do you want, Kim?”

“Oh how harsh!” Kim feigns shock. “I’m sad now!”

Marie frowns. “Get on with it, Kim, before I change my mind and call the cops.”

“That’s funny, Marie.” She snickers lightly. “That’s cute.”

“What’s cute about that?!”

“You threaten me AGAIN with the police and yet you’re sitting here, right next to me.  You’re close enough I could easily take you down.”

Marie wants to argue back at her but, the truth is, Kimberly is right.  She is sitting so close that she is in danger, at least assuming Kimberly has bad ideas in her head right now.  Really and truly, Marie is acting on faith here, faith that Kim will not act out.

“See that, sis?  You call me crazy and yet you must be as crazy as I am to sit down here next to me and have this conversation.  Any sane person would turn me in.”

“I am giving you ONE last chance, Kim.” She holds her cell phone up threateningly. “Tell me what you want or I WILL call the cops.”

Kimberly jerks the phone out of her hand and throws it across the room.  Surprisingly, it doesn’t break.

“Oh quit it, Marie.  You’ll call the cops anyway, now or once I’m gone, so why don’t you just sit back and listen to what I have to say?”

Not that she has much of a choice right now with her phone across the room, Marie sighs and nods her head.

“Good.  Now then, I just wanted to tell you that I’m…confused…”

“Huh?” She blinks several times out of confusion herself. “You’re confused?!  That’s what you were dying to tell me?!  That’s what you broke into my home to tell me?!”

“Oh shut up and let me finish!  I’m confused because for the longest time I hated you.  I hated everything you stood for because everyone LOVED you!  Even now, when you aren’t as beloved anymore by the public, you are still relevant, you are still powerful.  I was none of those things and I hated you for it and I wanted you dead, but first I wanted to make you suffer.”

The intensity in her voice subsides as she buries her face in her hands.  Kimberly brings her face up and there are tears in her eyes.

“But now I…I’m not sure…”

“Wait…you’re not sure?”

Kim shakes her head. “No, I am NOT sure.  Ever since that day in the mental hospital when you first came to visit me, when you broke me down emotionally and mentally and had me in tears, I saw it in your eyes then but I wasn’t sure.  But now, from watching you on IWC, watching what you’ve done with the likes of Ethan Von Aaron, Samantha Hodgson, and most recently Silas Mason.”

She smiles big and wide. “We’re more alike than you can ever imagine.”

Marie stands up before shaking her head vehemently. “No!  Not just no but hell no!  We are nothing alike!”

Kim stands up as well and has Marie pointing at her. “You are a psycho and…”

“And your mother is too.  Or need I remind you of The Dragon?  Your on-again off-again step-father Andreas Lasiewicz is a bit coo-coo for cocoa puffs too.  Seriously, I wonder if The Morning Star has rubbed off on you too?”

“You better hope to hell it didn’t.” Marie’s eyes flash with rage as she gets up in Kim’s face. “You broke into my home.  Threatened my son.  I have half a mind to tear you apart.”

“I did not threaten your son!” Kim snaps back.  “He is my nephew, after all.  Why would I threaten him?  Besides, you should save your rage for Serenity.”

Kimberly winks. “I hear Serenity can’t wait for the End of the Year Special!”

“I’ll take care of Serenity.” Marie points at Kim. “Then I’ll take care of you.”

“Oh I do wish you luck at The End of the Year Special, but I’m afraid I will miss that show.” She shrugs her shoulders. “When you’re leaving the country it becomes difficult to catch good television.  Nevertheless, I’ll be waiting, biding my time, thinking about exactly what our future holds.”

Marie shakes her head. “There is NO future for us!”

“That’s where you’re wrong, Marie.  There is a future for us, friends or enemies one, or something else?” She laughs lightly. “I don’t know yet!  But when I figure it out, I will be back.”

At that time Kim turns and starts to walk off.  Immediately Marie bolts for the cell phone, picks it up, and starts to make the phone call to the police.

A mother’s love for her child knows no boundary.  Ask any parent and they will tell you that what I just said is an absolute fact.  So needless to say, when I learned that my daughter had been kidnapped I was ready to hunt down whoever was responsible and make them wish they had never been born.

Oh but the police took my fun away from me.

Yet there was one person left who I could take my aggression out on, one person who knew of what happened to Marie and yet  did nothing, sat on her ass and let it happen, allowed her to continue suffering.

Her name is Abigail Lindsey.

I got my hands on you back in GCW.  I beat your ass in Seven Stages of Hell to become GCW Global Champion.  I got to take out my aggression on you.  But justice still has not been done.  Nothing has been made right yet and nothing will be made right until the person who was wronged gets her retribution.

You didn’t wrong me, Abigail.  I just needed to hurt you to make myself feel better.  The person you did hurt, though, is ready, willing, and able to finish what I started.  She is ready, willing, and able to annihilate you at the End of the Year Special.

The person you wronged is my daughter, Marie Annabelle Jones.

Don’t worry about Silas World.  I can personally assure you that Silas World won’t interfere.  Marie wants to do this on her own.  She wants to end you on her own.  She told me as much herself and thus I will be staying out of it.  I will be sitting back enjoying the show, enjoying as my daughter finishes you and gets the revenge that she so rightfully deserves.

You made the wrong decision in backing the Williams clan over the Jones family and now The Phoenix is going to make you pay.

The camera rolls.  We are in an expensive, luxurious, high-rent room with lovely rose red colored carpeting, a plush floral print sofa, small tables on either side with gold lamps on both, and two ferns by a large window.   The sound of a door creaking open and then slamming shut is heard.  Almost immediately we see a beautiful young lady stepping into the scene from stage left.  This young lady has shoulder length straight red hair and she is dressed in a black leather mini skirt that extends to just above the knee and a long sleeve black sweater.  Her feet are encased in black leather pumps and she stares intensely at the camera.  This is “The Phoenix” Marie Annabelle Jones.

“Christmas is just around the corner, I hope everyone has done their shopping, I know I have.  And then after Christmas we have to turn right around and celebrate the New Year.  But you cannot celebrate a New Year without remember the old.”

The redhead sits down on the sofa and crosses one leg over the other while placing her hands in her lap.

“2014 was a big year for me because for the first time ever I stepped out of my comfort zone and into a wrestling company where my famous family had no involvement.  The specter of the famous Jones family would not overshadow me.  I could make a name for myself.  I would have the opportunity to take the Independent Wrestling Cartel and make it mine, much like my mother took the Global Division of Wrestling and made it hers.”

“Things looked promising enough after I defeated both Lily Lyman and Kordy Price.  That’s right, I own a victory over your current Evolution Champion.  Whoever is in charge after this whole brew-ha-ha over Kloe and Orlando is over should bear that in mind.”

She winks into the camera. “But that’s another story for another time.”

“It was shortly thereafter that I started getting bullied by one Frankie Paradise.  Among his tactics was to send Serenity after me to attack me.  I’m a forgiving soul and I forgave her because I believed her when she told me she didn’t mean it personally.  We even went out for drinks after that.  I had no reason NOT to trust her.  The Jones family and the Lohan family had always been allies and she was half-Lohan.”

Marie frowns and shakes her head. “I didn’t realize she is more Lindsey than she is Lohan and that Lindsey in her is nothing but slime and scum.  Everything rotten and bad with this world.”

“Later on in 2014 I was kidnapped by Kimberly Williams, my psychotic half-sister, who also tried to impersonate me, take my place.  Kimberly, being as arrogant as she is, even went as far as to tell someone everything.  She wanted to brag to someone about what she did.”

“She bragged to Abigail Lindsey.”

Marie shuts her eyes. “Any normal, functioning human being would have said ‘hey, that’s a crime, I should report this to the police’…especially when that crime being committed is against a friend of the family.  But is Serenity normal?”

Jones opens her eyes and then shakes her head.  “No, she’s not normal.  She’s anything but normal.  The truth is that she doesn’t have any real friends.  She picks and chooses people to use whenever it suits her needs at that time.  Serenity is a user.  She is a manipulator.  She is a con-artist.  That is who Serenity is.”

“But I cannot be entirely angry with my former friend Abigail because were it not for her actions I would still be the same old weak Annabelle Jones who coddled to the fans, looking for their support, looking to make friends everywhere.  Abigail showed me that I cannot trust anyone, that I must only look out for number one…”

She points to herself “…me.”

“What Serenity doesn’t realize is that whatever she can do I can do better and that includes her oh so expert art of using people.  I am of the belief that you are always learning and thus everywhere I go I try to learn.  Growing up I learned from my mother, my aunt Kayla, and even from Andreas Lasiewicz.  And throughout the rest of 2014 I continued to learn and grow…”

Jones holds up one hand and begins to count off “…I learned from Samantha Hodgson, I learned from Ethan Von Aaron, I learned from Alana Starr, and now, most recently, I’ve been learning from Silas Mason.”

She puts her hand back down. “Now comes judgment day. Now comes The End of the Year Special.”

“I have been plotting this ever since Jessica rescued me from Kimberly.  Ever since then I have been plotting my revenge, a revenge that would include me forcing Kimberly to testify against you in court so that I could defeat you legally.  The monetary prize I won in the civil case was nice but that wasn’t important.  The important part was having it on video tape so I could air it on live television and humiliate you in front of the world, so that the world full of those doubters who believed in you could see you for who you truly are…”

“…a soulless monster.”

She snickers. “But that’s only a part of my revenge and now that that is done, I can finally move on to the best part, and that is to exact a physical revenge, to physically decimate you at the End of the Year Special.”

“I have always had the capability of defeating you, Serenity.  I mean, if you recall back to the beginning of this year, the beginning of my IWC tenure, we had a fight, and were it not for you getting intentionally disqualified I would have pinned your ass.  But that was then, this is now.  Things have changed.  I have changed.  I am much more aggressive and violent than before.  I am much more dangerous than before.  I have learned, picking the minds of some of the best IWC has had to offer inside and outside of the ring, learning every trick of the trade.”

“Back then I merely had the skill setting necessary to defeat you.  Now I have the skill setting that would allow me to really hurt you if I want to.”

“And believe me.  I want to.”

Jones stands up. “Your first mistake was underestimating me, thinking I was weak, because now that you know that I have been preparing, plotting, and studying this entire time, all for this moment on this night, maybe now you’re getting an idea of how screwed you really are.”

“Your second mistake was aligning with Kimberly Williams.  You chose to align with her the moment you chose to keep her secret.  Did you not think I’d find out?  And honestly, haven’t you been paying attention?  Kimberly Williams is the Pinky and the Brain of the professional wrestling world.  Her hair-brained schemes never work, she always gets caught, and at the end of the day the Jones family always triumphs over her.”

Marie shrugs her shoulders. “What can I say?  You backed a loser.  And now you’re going to suffer the consequences.”

“There won’t be a mistake number three.” Jones shakes her head. “You’re not going to be around to make a mistake number three.  I am the judge, jury, and executioner, Serenity.  I am NOT the type of judge who believes in three strikes and you’re out.  I gave you a second chance, you blew it, and now you’re done.   You’ve been declared guilty by the jury and now you will be executed.”

She grins knowingly. “Now a lot of people are planning their New Year’s Resolutions.  And I already know what I want to do in 2015.  I want to continue my rise to the top of the Independent Wrestling Cartel.  I want to win championship gold.  I want to finally achieve my ultimate goal by making IWC mine.”

“But before I can focus on that goal I have to close out the books on 2014.  Like I said earlier, you cannot and should not focus on the New Year without first taking care of the old and I have old business to attend to.  Serenity, you ARE that old business, and The End of the Year Special truly will be THE END for you and I.  Our business with one another will be over and I will be the one to end it by defeating you and finally taking my full revenge.”
