No one quite like me

So people are upset at how I got one over on Chris Cannon?

Well boo-hoo!  He lost, I won, and that is all that matters in this game.   Winning is the name of this game and that’s what I do best.  I win…and I win by any means necessary.

I’m also a smart wrestler.  I am a thinking wrestler.  I strategize and plan, I think things through.  I’m not going to unleash The Dragon on a man I hate, because I know what would happen.  I would not let up.  I would bludgeon him, bloody him, and get disqualified.

What a smart woman would do is instead of getting disqualified, get the other guy disqualified.  And that’s exactly what I did.

Now I’m up with two points in this tournament.  I have all the momentum necessary to carry me over into Breakdown and my showdown with Bolu.

Bolu…sucks to be you…because I’m going to beat you, and I’m going to rack up even more points as I continue my march right through this tournament until the very end.

Until the championship.

Angelica Jones is a lot of things.  You can call her The Dragon, The Golden Goddess, or Firestar.  One thing Angelica definitely could be called is an enigma.  It is a difficult task to try and figure her out.  There have been few people outside of family who truly understood Angelica Jones, who actually know what makes her tick.  One of those individuals is none other than Brittany Lohan.

Brittany Lohan and Angelica Jones began as enemies.  Brittany attacked her sister in order to force her into a brutal seven stages of hell match which Angelica won.  Later they became allies out of a mutual respect with Angelica acting as her trainer and manager.  She taught Angelica everything she knew.  That relationship evolved into a sexual one.  Granted they have had their ups and downs, like any pair of friends would, but they have always maintained that respect for one another, even in the tough times.

So the fact that she seems suspect of Angelica, or at least disappointed in her actions as of late, is enough to make Angelica accept the fact that perhaps something does need to change.  She does not want to lose Brittany Lohan as a friend and ally.

Naturally, when Brittany expressed disapproval with her victory over Chris Cannon, Angelica knew something was up and she wanted to nip it in the bud immediately.  So a meeting was arranged…

The natural red-head with dyed blonde hair Boston native known to one and all by many names, Golden Goddess or Dragon, but ultimately as Angelica Jones, walks ever so gracefully over to the bar.  She is wearing a tight, form fitting gold dress that stops at thigh length, strappy heeled sandals, and her long blonde locks of hair hang unrestrained to shoulder length.  Jones has a  specific seat in mind, namely the one next to her best friend and Silas World comrade-in-arms Brittany Lohan.



“Hi there, Britt!” Angelica says overly cheerfully. “I didn’t keep you waiting did I?”

Britt shakes her head. “No. Not at all.”

“Excellent!” She sighs deeply, still forcing a smile on her face. “I had to take care of some unexpected business but all is good now.”

Brittany feast her eyes on the gold dress Angelica wore for the occasion. “You look nice.”

“Thanks!  You look quite stunning yourself…” she winks.

Brittany takes a sip from the drink she was halfway done before Angelica arrived. “Yeah... so.. where should we begin?”

“Let’s start with the overarching problem.” She points to Brittany and then at herself. “What’s wrong between us, Britt?  I mean, I get your issues with my daughter...and sure, we can discuss those too…but that’s between you two.  What’s wrong between us?”

“I care about you. We’ve been through to much. How many people can say they are still friends after the other shot a fireball in their face? Not many.”

Brittany smirks. “We’ll always have a connection. I owe you, a lot. My problem Angelica.. I’ve watched the way you’ve conducted yourself since becoming Silas’ Baby Red.” Brittany rolls her eyes. “I knew you care more about winning period then winning with honor. I’m not an honorable person, either. The countless times your used Apocalypse in GCW. To the way you “beat” Chris Cannon.  I ask myself sometime, what happened to the woman who made me pass out?”

Brittany sighs. “What happened to the woman who trained me to maximize my potential? She is replaced by this automation who hops on Twitter promoting Silas as the second coming of Jesus.”

Brittany points her finger at Angelica. “You are the reason you won World Titles this year. Not him. Frontier would have went on sale without him. I know you would have found a way to make that happen. Not about Silas. Remember Sam Hodgson? You went to her because you lost faith in you. So what you had not become World Champion in four years? I don’t know who you are anymore. Is the woman I can’t get enough of one big lie? Did you pull a bait and switch on me?”

The bartender brings Angelica a drink.  She thanks the bartender before taking a sip.  She then turns to Brittany, sighing.

“Look, you know I will do whatever it takes to get ahead, whatever it takes to win.  That’s how I always have been and that’s how I always will be.  That person you know, The Dragon, the person who made you pass out?”

She grins. “She’s still here...and yes, I easily could have gone Dragon on Chris and odds are he probably wouldn’t be walking around right now.  But after losing to him before I knew that it would take a little more finesse to get those two points for this tournament.”

Angelica taps her head. “Tournaments like this you have to rely on strategy, Britt.  I can’t go full bore Dragon or else I’ll get too many disqualifications and I’ll lose.  As for Apocalypse, I only reformed it to get revenge on Abigail.  And you know why I wanted revenge.  She took my title from me by helping Katelyn Buehler.  And she knowingly allowed my daughter to remain in captivity.  Apocalypse is about to run its course, Britt.  It served its purpose.  I’m not sure how much longer I’ll allow it to continue.”

Jones laughs lightly. “As for the Silas Mason flag waving…”

She takes another sip of her drink “...I’m just trying to be happy and be the jokester on social media.  Nothing more.  It’s my defense mechanism, my way of forgetting certain personal issues going on right now that I cannot control.”

“Still makes me want to find the nearest trash can or toilet to unload what I just ate.” Brittany shrugs. She then places her hand on Angelica’s hand. “What personal issues? Why haven’t you come to me?”

“Tell me something...since I believe you do know me pretty well...what is the single most important thing to me in this world?”

“Other than winning? Your freedom.”

“That’s part of it...but why do I want to win?  And furthermore, why do I want to win and be the best?”

“Being the best mother, sister you can be. It’s been a long road. I’m glad you finally reached a point everything appear in order.”

Angelica nods her head. “That’s right, Britt...my family.  I damn near lost my family once but I have been given a second chance.  And I can’t lose them.  I won’t lose them.  So you have to know that I will do anything to protect them…”

She grows quiet until… “....anything…”

Brittany nods, knowing the lengths Angelica is willing to go to preserve everything she worked so hard to earn back. An evil smirk forms on Britts face. “Let me deal with it.”

She shakes her head. “I can’t let you get involved.  This man has me over a barrell.  You know I spent time in a mental asylum?  Well this guy is my doctor and he is the one who allows me to stay free.  One word out of him and I’ll go back.  The only way he won’t is if I...pleasure him.”

Brittany hisses. “Where can I find him?”

“You can’t get involved!” Angelica says in a panic. “If he utters a word I’ll go back to the asylum.”

She shuts her eyes. “The only way out I can think of is to see if I can get guardianship over me transferred to SIlas.  That would be damn easy, considering his connections, but I dare not give him that much control over me.  I don’t want to put myself in the same situation Kelcey put herself in.”

Brittany ponders what Angelica said. She was right. The War Machine could clobber the problem, what good would that do? “I have a guy. His name is Deacon Cross. That’s how I found out who Sebastian Knight/Alistair Taylor really is. He has connections. I ask him to do a job from time to time. I don’t ask questions. I only rely on him when my usual charm hits a brick wall. I can ask him to dig into your problem’s past. Once we gain enough leverage, he will have no choice to cave into your demands.”

Angelica nods her head. “Ok...but ONLY have him dig into his past.  I don’t want any physical confrontation risking me going back to that horrible place.”

She takes another sip of her drink. “His name is Thaddeus Rogers.  He is a clinical psychiatrist.  That’s really all I know about him considering we only see each other for our…ahem...’sessions’…”

Brittany rolls her eyes. “Sure. Deacon is discret. Chances are he has run this same game with other patients. Unlikely you’re his first. My guy will find the smoking gun in no time.”

“Thanks Britt…” she smiles “...so are we good?”

Brittany nods. “If we weren’t good I wouldn’t be helping you out of this.”

“Thanks...I owe you…”

Bolu?  MY Angelica is fighting a useless waste of oxygen by the name of Bolu?

It reminds me of Baloo the Sloth Bear from the Jungle Book.

Rudyard Kipling described him as a “sleepy brown bear” and, I must ask, are you, Bolu, going to be a slothful, sleepy individual, uncaring about anything?  Ignoring the threats around you?  Ignoring the fact that the danger of a real beast is overshadowing you…

The Dragon, my dear Bolu.  The Dragon is coming and no sleepy brown bear is going to be able to survive it.  Quite honestly, not even the king of the beasts himself, the brave and valiant lion, can overcome The Dragon.

None of your skill set, none of your tricks or gimmicks, none of your charm, NOTHING can save you, you sleepy brown bear, when The Dragon comes to consume you , because MY Angel is focused now more than ever.  She is focused on winning this tournament and taking one step closer towards gold.

The sleepy little animal is but a mere  nuisance in her path, one that will be exterminated and disposed of rather quickly.

You cannot stop MY Angel, Bolu.  Accept this fact and move on.

Scene 2
On Camera
==========

The most important thing in Angelica’s life is family.  Angelica Jones wants nothing more to protect her family, she will do anything for her family.  That strong desire to protect her family, though, has led to some questionable decisions.  One such decision involved murdering Sean Williams, the father of her oldest daughter Marie Annabelle Jones, in cold blood when it appeared as if he may gain full custody of her with no visitation rights granted to Angelica.  Angelica had made it look like a suicide and for years she had gotten away with it.  No one questioned that Sean Williams had indeed killed himself.

Everything changed when further evidence forced authorities to reopen the case.  After another investigation it wouldn’t take long before the police and detectives built up enough evidence to arrest Angelica for first degree murder.

The trial itself was a three-ring circus considering Angelica herself was a celebrity and she was lucky that her attorneys were able to successfully pull off an insanity defense.  She was declared not guilty by virtue of insanity but was sentenced to time in a mental hospital.  And despite the not guilty verdict, the time she would spend in the mental hospital was as good as a guilty verdict, it was as good as prison time because, for Angelica, time away from her children, away from her family, was punishment enough.  It was a terrible punishment that she could not bear.

No time with Jessica Lasiewicz…

No time with  Marie Annabelle Jones…

And no time with her youngest, no time with sweet Kelly Jones…

It almost seemed as if none of it had been worth it.  She went above and beyond the call of duty, she moved mountains to try and help her family, and yet this one small mistake had seemingly cost her everything.

But then Thaddeus Rogers entered her life…

Thaddeus Rogers was a clinical psychiatrist who had treated Angelica while she was at the mental asylum.  Shortly after he began treating her, he began showing reports of her progress.  Then came the final report, a report that she was ready to leave the asylum and return to society…

…under his constant supervision, of course.

No one batted an eye, least of all anyone at the mental hospital.  The doctors, nurses, and staff hated Angelica for how she was acting and wanted her gone anyway.  Thaddeus Rogers volunteering to take her out himself was a godsend as far as they were concerned.

What no one knew was that there were certain unspoken and unwritten stipulation that Thaddeus had in mind regarding the release of Angelica Jones.  Specifically, the redheaded Boston native would  do whatever he wanted, would pleasure him in any way he saw fit, and if she didn’t, he would make sure she got put back in the mental asylum, having claimed she suffered from a relapse and needed further treatment.

Angelica had her own form of retribution if he were to do that.  She had evidence of her own that he was forcing himself on her.  Doctors forcing themselves on their patients is not looked well upon in the medical field.  He would never be a doctor again.  But Angelica would suffer the worst.  She would be locked up again.  She would again be isolated and separated from her family, from her children.

What exactly was Angelica willing to do for her family?  She was willing to be a sex slave to Thaddeus Rogers so that he would remain silent, so that he would allow her to remain free and away from the mental asylum.  She was willing to do all of that just for her family…

…and yet, what happens when her family decides to return the favor?

The front door of the Jones estate, jokingly called “Purgatory” by Angelica herself, opens and the blonde bombshell enters the front door and into the main hall area.  The lights are all out and the entire house is silent.  This is to be expected and is exactly what Angelica was hoping for.  Kelly is spending the night with his aunt Kayla and Lindsey is still away on business, expected to return any day now.

Angelica sighs, thankful that Lindsey and Kelly are not here.  She does not want them to see her like this, completely helpless and unable to do anything for herself.  And unfortunately, she also knows that there should be one individual in this house…

“Thaddeus!”

Angelica doesn’t hear an answer from him just yet.  Thus she begins to slowly strip the gold dress off of her body.  Once it is off she kicks it and the strappy heels she was wearing away to a far corner.  She is now wearing only a skimpy lacy red bra and panty.

“Thaddeus!” She shouts again, a little louder this time. “I’m here!”

Still no response.  Angelica begins to grow wary of what is wrong.  Thaddeus never misses these dates.  Just then she notices the lights come on in the main living area.  That must be him, she realizes.  So Angelica turns and makes a beeline towards the living room.  She enters, expecting to find Thaddeus there ready to sexually have his way with her, but instead she finds Thaddeus bent over, breathing heavily.

“Thaddeus?!” She says in total shock. “What’s wrong?!”

He looks up at her and a scowl forms on his face. “Like you don’t know!”

“Huh?”

Thaddeus rushes her and grabs her by the throat, throwing her down onto the sofa.  He jumps on top of her, mounting her, only not in the sexual manner Angelica halfway expected when she arrived.  He is choking her!

“You told!”

Angelica can barely utter a word but she does manage to make out what he said. “…wha…what?”

“You told someone of our arrangement!”

Now she gets it…the ‘arrangement’…Angelica shakes her head. “No…I didn’t…”

“DO NOT LIE TO ME!” He squeezes her throat. “YOU TOLD!”

“I…told…ACK…” she is having trouble breathing now as his grip tightens “I…ACK…told no one!”

“LIAR!”

Thaddeus Rogers jerks her up and throws her roughly into the coffee table, knocking it over.  Angelica scrambles up to her feet and backs away slowly as Thaddeus approaches her menacingly.

“Wait, Thaddeus!” Angelica says pleadingly. “Please!  Don’t do this!”

“You had your chance, Ms. Jones, and you blew it!  I’m going to put you right back in the funny farm I found you in!”

“And  I…” she gulps “…I’ll tell the world how you had sexual relations with your patients!”

“Fine!  DO IT!  I may suffer monetarily, but I have the money to pay it off and I can get another job.  But you…YOU ARE DONE!  You will NEVER see your family again!”

Before Angelica can say anything else, and before Thaddeus Rogers can say or do anything else, a gunshot is heard.  Thaddeus’s eyes glaze over before blood begins coming out from his temple.  Another gunshot rings out and more blood from Rogers.  Finally Thaddeus falls over, crumpled up on the floor in a heap.

“Oh God!” Angelica bends over to check on him.

“Don’t touch him, Angelica!”



She knows that voice.  Angelica stands up and turns to look and finds Monroe Jones, her cousin, entering the main living area, wielding the presumed gun that did the dirty deed to Thaddeus Rogers.

“We don’t want any of your finger prints on his clothing or his person.”

Angelica shakes her head vehemently. “Monroe…I can’t believe you…”

“I told you that I would take care of it.” He places the gun down on the sofa. “And I have.”

He glares angrily at the corpse lying on the floor. “I have chased this monster out of the house, down the streets, and finally tracked him back here.”

“And now he’s…”

Monroe nods his head, hugging Angelica tightly. “He’s dead now.  He cannot harm you.”

Jones shakes her head vehemently after breaking the embrace. “But you killed a man, Monroe!  You…”

“I know I did.” He runs his hand through Angelica’s long blonde hair. “You have done so much for this family, you have sacrificed so much, and to hear what you were doing now, for this man, just so you could remain free and be with your children and protect them…”

He shuts his eyes. “I knew I had to do something.”

“But not this!” She exclaims. “You killed a man!  You committed a murder!”

“I know this.”

“But you shouldn’t have!  You should have let me…”

“I should have let you do what?  Continue on this path with this scum?” He shakes his head. “No…”

“No?”

“Angelica, darling cousin, you have done so much for this family.  For once, let this family do something for you.”

My cousin may use rather questionable tactics but no one can question her dedication to this industry or her dedication to her family.  She would do anything for professional wrestling and would die to protect her family.

Yes, I am disappointed in how she chose to “defeat” Chris Cannon. But nevertheless, that doesn’t change the fact that she is an extremely talented individual, an extremely gifted wrestler, easily  one of the best there is in the entire world.

And I should know, as I have traveled the world and wrestled all over the world myself.

Bolu, I wish you the best of luck.  And perhaps you should also invest in an extra set of eyes for the back of your head just in case she brings out Silas World.  No doubt Sienna Swann and her short, youthful, rather annoying pal will be closely around her.  So good luck…I hope you and my cousin have the best match of the night.

I really do.

But I also understand that reality is what it is and you are facing someone who is damn difficult to beat as it is.  And she has an army backing her up.

As the kids might say…kiss your ass goodbye.

The camera begins to roll.  What we see, or rather WHO we see, in front of a black backdrop is none other than Angelica Jones.  The blonde bombshell (even if she is a natural ginger) is wearing jeans, black boots, and a black t-shirt with a dragon embroidered on the front.  She is wearing her signature black leather jacket and her long blonde hair hangs down unrestrained to shoulder length.  A pair of sunglasses covers her eyes.

“The Golden Lion…king of the beasts…against The Golden Goddess…queen of the ring…”

Angelica snickers. “I have to admit, it sounds like a marquee style match if you ask me.”

“And it no doubt will be a five-star match.  Any match with me in it turns out to be a show stopper, a show stealer, the REAL main event.  I force my opponents to raise their game to the next level because, the simple fact is, that you have to raise your game to the next level to even hang with me, otherwise you will be smoked.”

She points into the camera with a carefully manicured finger. “But what about you specifically, my dear?”

“You are no ring veteran, Bolu.  That inexperience right there works against you, that much is obvious.  But there’s another way your inexperience in this great sport of ours that will ultimately prove detrimental…”

“I mean, have you even been in a tournament quite like this?” She pauses, almost as if awaiting an answer. “I have, Bolu.  I have been in a tournament EXACTLY like this with damn near the exact same rules, with just a few minor differences.  It was called the Eye of Ares Tournament and do you know who won the inaugural Eye of Ares Tournament?”

A grin forms upon her face as she nods her head. “That’s right.  Me.”

“I have experience in this style of tournament, I know how to win in this style of tournament.  Winning this style of tournament requires endurance because it is a marathon and it also takes a damn good mind, something that I have after twenty years in this industry.  I can’t say what you have and have not encountered before, Bolu, but I can say this much…”

Jones removes her sunglasses and places them in her leather jacket “…you have never encountered anyone quite like me.”

“The Angelica Jones Experience is something few have encountered and fewer still have survived Bolu.  Do you know what makes me unique amongst any wrestler in the world?  With me you never really know what you’re going to get.”

She flicks a strand of her long blonde hair back behind her head. “Right now you can call me The Golden Goddess because I exude confidence.  It’s called confidence, by the way, not arrogance.  It is confidence because it is fact that I am one of the best in the world.  It is fact that any match I am in is a spectacular five star performance each and every time.  It is fact that I am going to beat your ass at Breakdown.”

“Or you may get Firestar, a high flying, almost luchadore style daredevil who has no problem putting her own body on the line.  You don’t have a problem with heights, do you darling?  Because I may very well hit you from all angles, including up and down…”

Jones frowns. “…or you could get The Dragon, a beast that just doesn’t care, a monster that will consume you.”

“Which is the real me?” She shrugs her shoulders. “The fact is that ALL of them are the real me and the fact is that there is NO preparing for me.  I am someone you cannot prepare for, Bolu, and that’s what makes me more dangerous than anyone you have ever had the opportunity to face.”

“Another thing that makes me dangerous is the fact that I want this.  I want this more than anyone could ever imagine.  I damn sure want it more than you and I will not let you stand in my way.  This tournament belongs to me, just like your ass will belong to me at Breakdown.”
