~When will the nightmares end?~
(Silence...night has set in and all is quiet. We see Laura curled up to Nick tightly in bed, both asleep soundly when suddenly.)
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
(The high pitched scream jolts them both out of sleep and Laura is out of the bed the fastest and down the hall to her daughter’s room.)
Laura Phoenix: Bella? Bella baby?
(The screaming gets louder when Laura gets the door open and is right at her daughter’s bedside...but it’s empty only the screaming remains.)
Laura Phoenix: BELLA?!?! Baby where are you?
(Laura looks around frantically but nothing appears. There is now a coldness in the room. So much so that every breath that she takes a puff of air can be seen.)
“Her soul will pay for your sins...your sins...”
(Another scream pierces the silence.)
“Ah...her spirit is indeed strong, like yours but as long as you continue to fight me...she will continue to suffer.”
Laura Phoenix: NO! Your fight is with me....she is innocent...you leave her alone.
“Too late...I’m inside her head...I am inside yours...as long as you think I beat you...”
Laura Phoenix: You did...but you forgot one thing.
“Oh yeah? What’s that?”
Laura Phoenix: Sometimes you have to lose to realize what is important...and...
“And?”
“MOOOOOOOOOOOM!”
Laura Phoenix: My spark remains...and I don’t believe in the Boogyman anymore. I’m done watching you use my daughter....she can barely sleep at night remembering what you did to her and to Spinelli...so now...I’m going to destroy you. All I need to do is wake up....
(Laura’s eyes snap open as she hears Elizabeth from her room and she quickly gets up and goes to her daughter. Bella holds onto her mother.)
Laura Phoenix: Shhhh, it’s ok sweets, I’m here.
Elizabeth O'Neil: It happened all over again...he took me...he hurt Uncle Spinelli...but...you stood up to him.
Laura Phoenix: Oh yeah...what did I do?
Elizabeth O'Neil: Told him...you don’t believe in the boogyman anymore.
Laura Phoenix: Hmm...sounds like something I would say....anything else?
Elizabeth O'Neil: Something about a spark...
Laura Phoenix: Sweetie...this...match that I’m going into at Independence....I want you to know something, for me...it’s not about that title. Not really. That title is a perk...but what he did to us...this time, instead of letting him take advantage, I am bringing the fight to him. Everything I have done, I have played with the very part of his mind that makes him realize that I’m not just another wrestler. I want you to listen to me ok...cause this next part gets a little difficult. No matter what happens, I will always come back to you. What happens will be for us.
Elizabeth O'Neil: I want to be there with you.
Laura Phoenix: Absolutely not...I want you safe and sound. I will be better knowing that you are with David and Spinelli.
(Elizabeth hugs her even tighter.)
Elizabeth O'Neil: I don’t want to lose you again.
Laura Phoenix: Like I said...I will always come back but I need to end these nightmares...for the both of us. We can’t live like this until I have made him pay for everything he has ever done to us. But you need to sleep now...we have a big day ahead of us.
(Laura kisses Elizabeth on top of her head and she lays back down as Laura tucks her back in. Laura looks at her daughter with a smile on her face.)
Elizabeth O'Neil: You have to win...
Laura Phoenix: ...I will certainly try.
Elizabeth O'Neil: Night mom.
Laura Phoenix: Sweet dreams princapessa.
(Laura heads out of Bella’s room, closing the door behind her. She leans against the wall for a moment.)
Laura Phoenix: I now have reason to win it all.
Out of my ashes
will rise a new phoenix.
A soaring being
returning from death
proving once again
that life is eternal.
I live forever
because the spirit
never dies.
I will return
in another body
in another time,
but it is me.
The me who is me now
will always be.
As long as I live,
I learn.
And I live
forever.
~God help the outcast....or nobody will~
will rise a new phoenix.
A soaring being
returning from death
proving once again
that life is eternal.
I live forever
because the spirit

I will return
in another body
in another time,
but it is me.
The me who is me now
will always be.
As long as I live,
I learn.
And I live
forever.

(Scene fades in as we are now inside a large church, inside New York City. We see Laura sitting there with her fingers interlaced sitting in front of her. She just stares out to whatever is in front of her. From just behind her left shoulder we see a figure walk up.)
Voice: If my eyes hadn’t confirmed it, I might have never believed you were actually here.
(Laura’s mouth turns up in a smile as she glances over as we see a young man in clothes that a Father of the church would wear.)
Laura Phoenix: It’s good to see you to Jonathan.
Father Jonathan: That’s Father Jonathan to you now young lady. I didn’t spend years in school for just a simple greeting.
(Laura stands up and puts her hands up.)
Laura Phoenix: I’m sorry..Father Jonathan...man I’ll never get use to that.
Father Jonathan: Well...I suppose, since we’ve known each other since we’ve been kids...
(Jonathan holds his arms out as Laura walks in and the two friends give each other a hug.)
Father Jonathan: Do I dare ask what brings you to church? Considering I don’t think you’ve stepped in to one for the better part of 10 years?
Laura Phoenix: Oh I don’t know...I thought I’d come...confess my sins...maybe catch up a little with me and the big man...
Father Jonathan: (sarcastically) Laura....we both know that it’s a waste of time. It’s about that lip serviced back sliding wannabe you’re facing at Independence...isn’t it?
(Laura starts to casually walk around the church with her friend not that far behind her.)
Laura Phoenix: Eh...I don’t know...I’ve lost faith lately Jonathan...I should be happy. Elizabeth is alive...and she is with me. I’m getting married in a few weeks...oh and sorry it’s not going to be here.
Father Jonathan: From what I understand you and Nick aren’t exactly church going people so you’ll be forgiven.
Laura Phoenix: Thanks...I just don’t know what to do anymore. But what Syn did to her...did to Spinelli...he knocked me off my game Jonathan. He knew exactly what to do to get to me. And now...I hear her cries in the night. Her dreams turned to nightmares because a man...a man claiming to do it all for the “good word”....basically mentally RAPED my daughter of her innocence. And I stood by helpless...and then just before the match happened he just let her go...he knew EXACTLY what he was doing and yet this elaborate hoax of a holy man continues. Ever since Destiny I have brought this man back to reality and then...I showed him that he’s not the only one that can be mythical.
Father Jonathan: A magic trick is hardly mythical.
Laura Phoenix: I WAS TIED TO THAT CROSS JONATHAN!
Father Jonathan: Shhh...keep your voice down.
Laura Phoenix: Why?? Why should I? So your followers don’t know that you are talking to a witch?
Father Jonathan: You are hardly that.
Laura Phoenix: True...but I am magic you have to admit that. No one in the world should be allowed to do what I do....I defy the laws of everything ever created and yet somehow I continue to exist. WHY is that Father? Hmm? Why should everyone around me suffer? I highly fucking doubt that when the good book said “Suffer the little children” he didn’t have this bullshit in mind.
(Laura walks over to the wall of candles and she runs her hand through it and doesn’t even flinch from the flames.)
Laura Phoenix: I don’t understand it...I will never understand why this bullshit keeps happening to me...to Nick...to Bella...She wasn’t even a factor at first. My daughter...my own flesh and blood was a victim...and now what do I have?
Father Jonathan: Everything...
Laura Phoenix: And how true you are...then why does it feel like I have absolutely nothing. I have never asked for a damn thing from anyone and yet I still hear the screams...her cries...and I want to rip out his BLEEDING HEART FOR EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE! I DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE TITLE! It is so much more than that. I clawed my way to that belt and I can do it again but he made this so beyond personal Jonathan....
(Jonathan looks around and saying a quiet prayer that the church is basically empty.)
Father Jonathan: Laura...there will always be sheep...you’ve seen that first hand. His followers are brained washed idiots...don’t fall for his games. He’s turning your fire that you have always had inside of you into darkness...he is trying to extinguish your flame. We know that things change when the spark remains...he thinks that that spark has gone out. He thinks that when you lost to him at Destiny that you became nothing...but he forgets....you are fire and ice...and rage...
Laura Phoenix: So you see it too?
Father Jonathan: Considering I have seen your fire first hand. We all know that all that a revolution needs is a little spark. YOU WERE and ARE the spark of the revolution. You mark...your spark will always be apart of PWSR history...and it will continue over to PWSi. But Laura....the spark is what he is always been afraid of. He knew if he could take that out...and look what happened. But you didn’t die...you didn’t disappear...your battle continued...the PWS Title doesn’t make you or break you...it doesn’t define you....you define it. You are the PWS Superstar of the year for a reason....you are the “Spark of the Revolution”.
Laura Phoenix: Trial by fire....ignite the fire to destroy the beast...and hopefully I won’t end up like your friend up there.
(The camera shows the statue of Jesus on the cross.)
Father Jonathan: Well...he ended up there to show the people that the sins would always be paid for. He did it for the human race...
Laura Phoenix: He was also betrayed by his followers...not exactly how I intend on going out.
(Laura laughs as does Jonathan.)
Father Jonathan: No I imagine not....if fire couldn’t contain you....I hate to think what might.
Laura Phoenix: He will always martyr himself out. He will claim to be the victim. It’s weird...I almost pity him.
Father Jonathan: Who? Jesus?
Laura Phoenix: NO! SYNN...geez...pay attention man.
Father Jonathan: You gotta signal before you turn like that.
Laura Phoenix: I PITY Synn because he has to have sheep around him....he brainwashes these people and even then...he is still so alone. It must be cold up in that tower....no one to love him...no one to care for. How can a man live like that? How black is his heart and how dirty is the mind of a man that knows nothing but cold. He’s scared of the fire....he’s scared of the spark...
(Laura turns to her friend and smiles.)
Laura Phoenix: Through the big frame, the...weird shirts, the fat and muscle...that’s it...he is a scared little boy. He has been so use to the ice and the cold that the spark to him is something he has never known....so be scared of the unknown...destroy the unknown....Oh My GOD...what kind of child is this? ....listen to me...I’m rambling.
(Jonathan can’t help but burst with laughter as Laura gets that shit eating grin on her face.)
Father Jonathan: It’s what you do best.
Laura Phoenix: It hasn’t been his followers...it hasn’t been this match. I had something he wanted and he knew how to turn the flame down to do it...oh....OHHHH that was brilliant...but I’m not scared anymore. I don’t need that title to prove a point anymore cause that’s all it is...it’s a title. I’m the spark of the revolution and THAT...THAT right there alone is enough to END this once and for all. The revolution may end after tonight but as long as the spark remains it will never die...and you know what Jonathan?
Father Jonathan: What’s that my friend?
Laura Phoenix: The spark...the fire...it all will never die as long as I am around. I will bring down the scared little boy...the boy who uses his words to try and damage it all...I will bring him down and I will get back that title though it’s not needed. I will continue on the memory...and the revolution will live on in me. And the little boy...afraid of the fire...will finally know that magic that keeps it all going.
And that fire...will always be...me.
