(Italics indicate flashback) *I walk into the TGW arena, carrying my purple duffle over my shoulder. I'm sure after last week, Everyone thought I wouldn't be showing my face around here anymore. But last week wasn't my fault, It was David's, Besides, Alyson would NEVER let me quit. I spot the locker room with the word "Sirens" written on it and smile. I walk in to the locker room and close the door behind me. I walk over to the couch and sit down, before digging through my bag. I pull out a magazine, written in Japanese and open it. One of the first pictures I see is of Reno King, My ex, and my mind starts to wander. After months of wrestling with Reno in Japan, I knew things weren't going so well, But I'm determined to fix it. I walk into our apartment and hear a sound, But I can't quite place what It is, I walk down the hallway and push the bedroom door open, only to see some woman's bare back facing me. I drop the glass cup I have in my hand and the girl turns and screams before covering herself up. My boyfriend sits up, and looks shocked. He grabs his boxers and pulls them on, as I walk out of the room crying. I walk to the front door and feel Reno grab my arm. I turn away and push him off of me* Jessica Blake: Get away from me Reno!! Its over!!!! Reno King: Aww, Jessie Comeon! It was nothing! Jessica Blake: Don't you DARE call me Jessie!!! Reno King: It wasn't what it looked like!! Jessica Blake: I'm not an idiot Reno!!! Have fun with your sluts! I'm gone!! *That was the last time I saw Reno King. Walking out of that apartment was the hardest thing I've ever done but I knew it ha... [/i] I get shaken out of my day-nightmare, by a knock on the door. walk over to the door and open it, taking in the pale skin, and red hair, I take a small step back, rubbing my neck realizing standing at my locker room door is Bull Kegan, one of the men that almost destroyed me at last weeks Animosity. I realize his hands are behind his back, is it so he won't attack me again? He looks at my hand on my neck and nods* [/color] Bull Kegan: Rite--sure sign ye tagged against the Keganation. *He laughs a little, causing my eyebrows to drop* Bull Kegan: I just dropped by to check on ye... Jessica Blake: I wouldn't exactly say I TAGGED against you guys... But... I'm... Alright I guess.. Bull Kegan: Yea--that match was a bit one sided I must say but for good reason. I warned ye on this Cage fella--waste of skin he is. *Bull finally pulls his hands from behind his back, and I get ready to take another step away. But, to my shock, hes holding a stuffed Bull teddy bear and a heart shaped box of Valentine's chocolate. I look up at him, not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do here.* Bull Kegan: Sad peace offering maybe but I hope ye might allow me to take back the things I said about you--it's all wrasslin' mumbo jumbo anyway. I figured you for Cage's type... It's come to my attention that you're...different... *I look up at him, trying to figure out if hes being sincere. But, I trust people, too easily, Everyone says that's my downfall. I take the Bull and the chocolates slowly* Jessica Blake: Yeah... Its fine.. Umm.. Just words really.. And besides.. Your brother was the one that did the damage.. *I look down at the stuffed bull, then smile, and look back up at Bull* Jessica Blake: That was sweet of you.. Thank you.. Bull Kegan: Rite, me brother is pretty nasty when he means it. He'd probably be pretty upset if he found out I was even here talking to you. He's pretty enraged over Frenchy though. Jessica Blake: Well.. Don't stand out in the open then.. Come on in. *Out of the corner of my eye I can see Bulls eyes look me over. I roll my eyes slightly, then move out of the way so he can walk in, Once he comes in I place the chocolates on the table, but keep the Stuffed Bull under my arm, and close the locker room door.* Bull Kegan: So tell me... What's a lass like yourself in this for anyway. Let me guess, you're a Danger-Junkie. Is that it? Jessica Blake: I actually got into it because of my Ex... Followed him to Japan.. then found out he was chesting on me with a bunch of women so... Called Aly.. and now I'm here.. So.. Just a series of events I guess... Bull Kegan: Aye, my whore of a wife... *He stops himself* Bull Kegan: My *estranged* wife was recently shot to death. *I look up at him, knowing this, having learned it before our match* Bull Kegan: Aye, don't trouble yourself with it. I don't--just relating to your cheating ex boyfriend. *He lightly laughs and I raise en eyebrow, watching him* Bull Kegan: Your Aly friend doesn't like me very much--I'd say it's just though. Jessica Blake: She's... Protective of me.. And Katie... And after what Katie went through.. You know.. The kidnapping thing.. And Animosity.. shes.. EXTREMLY protective.. *I smile again, and hug the stuffed bull to my chest.* Jessica Blake: Its not that she hates you.. She hates what happened to me.. Bull Kegan: Guilty by association I 'spose, it's ok. We Kegans are taking over though. That's fact. *He takes a step closer to me, but for some reason, I don't move.* Bull Kegan: But it doesn't mean We Kegans must be blind to the beauty True Glory has to offer. Perhaps yer protective friend is on to something. *The cocky Kegan smirks down at me and I smile back, pushing my hair back behind my ear, still holding onto the stuffed Bull* Jessica Blake: Well.. If you Kegans wanna take over... You'll have to get past us Siren's first... And once Katie is healthy.. That's gonna be a tall order to fill.. *I smirk, as Bull laughs* Bull Kegan: Rite, just don't think ye need to get a headstart right now--don't have my fighting gear. *He takes a step past me, towards the door* Bull Kegan: I'd better take a hike... *Bull opens the door and turns to face me, I turn towards him, looking up at him, biting my bottom lip* Bull Kegan: Though I do hope to see ye again, and preferably on better terms than Animosity. *I look up at Bull, feeling myself blushing. I smile at him and nod* Jessica Blake: Hopefully.. And.. Thanks.. For checking on me.. and the chocolate.. and the teddy bear.. *I watch as Bull walks out of the locker room, and take a deep breath. Smiling, I look down at the stuffed bull in my arms and sits down on the couch, reaching over for the chocolate* *After spending most of the day at the TGW arena, and not finding Wade Mason, I decided to head back to Aly's house. After Animosity Aly kicked David out. So now it was us Siren's with the house all to ourselves. I unlock the front door and walk into the house, Making my way upstairs, I hear the front door open and turn seeing Katie and Alyson walk in. Katie smiles up at me* Katie Goddard: Look!! I can walk!! Jessica Blake: I see that.. Walking boot? Katie Goddard: Yep.. Do you have any asprin or anything? Jessica Blake: Yeah, In my bag. I'm gonna go change. *I walk the rest of the way up the stairs and go into my room. After changing into purple shorts and a purple tank top. I head back down the stairs and see my bag open, and hear plastic rustling in the kitchen. Remembering the box of chocolates and the stuffed bull, I bite my lip and rush down the rest of the stairs and into the kitchen. Aly and Katie are sitting at the kitchen table, with my chocolate open infront of them, along with the stuffed bull. I walk over to the table and sit down, grabbing one of the chocolates and popping it into my mouth. Alyson looks over at me, and I smile back at her.* Jessica Blake: Isn't Sammy sweet? Alyson Starr: Sammy your sister? She sent you these? Jessica Blake: Yep. She didnlt have your address so she sent it to the arena. Katie Goddard: Whats with the bull? Jessica Blake: She thought she'd be funny... After my match. *Alyson picks up the stuffed bull and calls her chihuahua over to her. * Alyson Starr: Well.. Since its NOT funny.. We'll give it to Shorty. Jessica Blake: NO! *I grab the bull back and hug it to my chest as my two best friends look at me, confussed. * Jessica Blake: I'll umm.. I'll do something to it and send it back to her.. She'll et a kick out of it. *I put the bull down on the table and grab another piece of chocolate and bite into it. Katie grabs the chocolate from my hand and finishes it, and I shake my head laughing.* Alyson Starr: Anyway... How are you feeling? Are you gonna be up for this match come Animosity? Jessica Blake: I'll be alright... My neck is really the only thing that hurts right now.. I'll be alright to fight her... What is she anyway? Katie Goddard: A freak? *Katie and Aly laugh and I pop another chocolate in my mouth. I hug the bull close to me, smiling* *3:15 AM, and for some reason I'm awake. I woke up 20 minutes ago, and have been laying here ever since. Laying on my back, I have the stuffed bull sitting on my stomach. I see someone walk past my bedroom door and lower my eyebrows. I sit up and swing my legs off the side of the bed, But bur the bull under the sheets before getting up. I slip on my purple slippers and walk out of the room. I make my way down the stairs and see the kitchen light on. I walk over to the kitchen and lean against the door frame, looking at Alyson standing against the counter, making some coffee.* Jessica Blake: Make me some? *Alyson turns around and looks at me and smiles, she nods and grabs 3 mugs and puts them on the table. I sit down and Alyson turns, leaning back against the counter.* Alyson Starr: 3...2... Katie Goddard: You guys too? *Katie comes limping into the kitchen with her walking cast and sits next to me at the table. Aly gets the milk and sugar and puts it on the table, She pours coffee in all of our mugs and sits down. We all look down at our mugs and Katie laughs shaking her head.* Katie Goddard: Look at us... Sad sad women... Alyson Starr: We are not sad Katie.... Shit happens... Men happen. Jessica Blake: Hey... you two shouldn't be complaining... YOU chose to leave the man who loves you.. and don't tell me he doesn't Katie.. He rescued you.. He was taking care of you... And you left... and Aly.. You kicked David out? why? Cause he didn't show up to help me? *They look at each other and I take a sip of my coffee* Katie Goddard: Jessie.. Jessica Blake: No, I'm not mad... I'm just saying... I understand you guys have issues with them.. But atleast neither of them cheated on you... But I'm fine.. I'm over Reno King. I've moved on. Alyson Starr: Moved on... to who? *I look up into Aly's eyes and clear my throat* Jessica Blake: Not what I meant Aly... You know I'm focusing on my job.. Katie Goddard: The job... or the man that gave you the job? *I push myself up and lean forward, looking right into Katie's eyes* Jessica Blake: Wade Mason... Is not someone whos on my mind. Katie Goddard: shes telling the truth *I sit back down and take another sip of my coffee, smiling, keeping my thoughts all to myself.* *I love Aly's idea of working out, Its simply going for a job on the beach. The TGW cameras are infront of me as me and Aly come jogging up to them. we both stop, Me in my purple bikini and Aly in her blue one. My hair is pulled back into a ponytail and I have beads of sweat dripping down my face. I look straight at the TGW camera, trying to catch my breath.* Jessica Blake: Animosity.. I'll be honest... My first match at Animosity went.. Horribly.. But I tried, That's all I could do. David Cage chose not to show for our match, So I decided to go it alone.. People have been commending me on going out there and trying to take on Keganation alone... Well, It didn't end well for me. But I'm not dead yet.. I'm healthy, and I'm ready for this week. *I sit down on a beach chair and I out my elbows on my thighs and smile.* Jessica Blake: This week I Onyx Nightfur. I've heard some... Things about you since I got here. But.. I choose to ignore them, Because I don't really are about prying into people's private lives. What I care about.. Is in the ring. The time in between the 2 bells. Because that's all that really matters. Everything else... Is just... Not important. Because plenty of people sit there and go on and on and on about how their gonna win because of this in their past, or because they do that. Well, Really, None of that matters. You win because of your state of mind and your health in that ring. Strength is really kinda secondary. But once someone gets the upper-hand, And your state of mind slips to "maybe I won;t win this" THATS when you lose. But... Onyx, I'm sure you know that. So all I'm going to say... Is don't underestimate me... and Don't get too cocky.. Cause both of those will only cause my will to be stronger than yours. So I'll see you in the ring. Good luck. *Aly and I lay back on our beach chairs as we slip our sunglasses on, and the TGW cameras fade to black.* [/center]

Scene opens in the Farallon Islands, or Farallones, a group of islands found off the coast of San Francisco, California, USA. They lie 27 miles outside the Golden Gate and are visible from the mainland on clear days. The islands are officially part of the City and County of San Francisco, California. The only inhabited portion of the islands are on Southeast Farallon Islands where research residents stay. Getting a day pass to this place is nevarly impossible unless you're press, and only a rare few of those as given out so as not to disturb the animals.
The Farallon National Wildlife Refuge is one of 66 National Wildlife Refuges that have congressionally designated wilderness status. In 1974 the Farallon Wilderness was established and includes all islands except the Southeast Island. The island has the world's largest colonies of Western Gulls and Ashy Storm-petrels, two of over 400 species of bird to inhabit the islands, and large portions of rock are perminently stained white as proof of year round habitation. But that is not why we are here. Several species of pinniped and cetaceans also frequent this area, but is not why we're here either.
Due to a massive elephant seal population, an equally sizable population of Great White Sharks is attracted to the islands. In 1970 Farallon biologists witnessed their first shark attack, on a Steller’s sea lion. During the next fifteen years, more than one hundred attacks on seals and sea lions were observed at close range. By the year 2000, biologists were logging almost eighty attacks in a single season.
Every September one of the world's largest congregations of white sharks gather and stay for three to six months to feed baring fresh mating scars from their time in more Southern waters. No one lives year round in the Farallones but a team of dedicated scientists bunk in the only habitable building, a more than 120 year old house on Southeast Farallon.
Because of the foggy, rough seas a ride out to the islands can last more than six hours of bobbing, nausiating turbulence. Despite this, Oyx looks gleeful as she sits in a bucking Zodiac, staring out to sea.
Her persistance has finally endeared her to the research team, as has her passion for the animals, despite their initial uneasiness about her being a "celebrity". So here she is, at the crack of dawn, her golden eyes gleaming as blood geysers into the air, creating a vivid slick and signaling a usual decapitation. The frenzied seagulls divebomb the water for scraps.
If wrestling is her career, this is her passion and the glow of Onyx's face proves it as her eyes focus on the object of attention floating amid a cloud of blood, radiating a rancidly thick scent. The quarter-ton elephant seal missing it's head.
"Big seal..must be a big shark," Onyx grins as she looks back at one of two cameras on the boat. Clearly this is not a promo to her at the moment, or not just one. She would be here gladly any day of the week, rain or shine, but it happens to make compelling stuff for the camera.
"People always look at me weird when I tell them how much i love this sort of thing..working with the Monterey Bay Aquarium in past years I got a lot of up close and personal time with juvenile whites. In one of my old world tours I took the opportunity in African waters to charter a cage dive with Chris Fallows. But it's taken me YEARS to get a pass to come out here where the biggest whites are."
"My family, my friends, they say, why sharks, Onyx? Is it the thrill? Maybe my opponents just figure I'm trying to prove I'm tough..or I'm suicidal. But it's none of those things. I watch Shark Week every year, and I used to help with dissections for the same event at the Oregon Coast Aquarium and volunteer as a certified diver to clean the shark tank. The fact is, I just love sharks, and great whites most of all. One of my best friends in the world is a 6 foot sevengill shark named Miss Piggy back in the Oregon Coast Aquarium. And the downright fact is, I like sharks a lot better than most people. I've never been betrayed or lied to by a shark. "
"I'm not a religious person, but I was dragged to church a lot as a kid. I was always told animals don't have souls, when I always saw more of God in them than Humans by far. When I saw my first white shark, it was like seeing God in fleshly form. I've never felt so moved, so humbled, and so grateful to be alive. I love my son..I love my family and my friend, but this is my religion. That's the only way I know how to put it."
If she has more to say, it's interrupted by a mythically massive dorsal fin rising from below and she is no longer aware of the camera, entranced. The body of the shark, only a dark blue silloutte, is more than seventeen feet long, obviously a female due to it's size. It's sleek black body creates a wake as it passes the boat then a huge triangular head lifts out of the water and surprisingly, with gentle curiousity, attempts a bit on the edge of the boat. It's black doll eyes roll back, two inch long teeth serrated and backed by many rows. then it silently slips below and snatches the seal carcass, shaking it like a dog with a toy, flinging drops of bight blood.

*I remember the day I got back from Japan. I went straight home from the airport, Laid in bed and didn't move for at least a week. Then I got the voicemail from Aly, telling me Katie was missing and she needed me there. So I dragged myself out of bed, found my wrestling gear and made my way to TGW. As I sit here looking at the stuffed bull I was given. I can't help but smile and try to forget what Reno did to me. Alyson sticks her head into my room and I quickly hide the bull, and look over at the door.* Alyson Starr: Morning *I get up from the bed and slip on my flip-flops. I follow Alyson down the stairs and into the kitchen. Seeing Katie sitting on the couch, I walk over and sit down next to her. She looks at me and smiles, and I lower my eyebrows as Aly sits on my other side* Jessica Blake: Morning guys Katie Goddard: Good morning Jess. Jessica Blake: Another match tonight.. Katie Goddard: You're not nervous are you? *I look at Katie and Aly and shake my head giving them a look* Alyson Starr: I'm guessing that means no. Jessica Blake: Damn right that means no. I'm still a little sore but... I'll be fine, piece of cake. Katie Goddard: Good. Now.. If you'll excuse me.. I have some phone calls to make. *Katie gets up and makes her way up the stairs. I look at Aly and she has the same concerned look on her face as I do.* Jessica Blake: Shes not okay is she? Alyson Starr: I heard her crying last night... She misses him... Jessica Blake: Why doesn't she just call him? Alyson Starr: Well.. Either shes afraid it won't work out.. Or she just... Wants him to go to her. Jessica Blake: Poor Katie... *Aly and I look up towards Katie's room, then back at each other.* *After a few hours in the gym. I walk into the house and smell baking. I walk into the kitchen and see Alyson icing a cake. I walk over and look at her, dropping my bag on a chair in the kitchen.* Jessica Blake: We're baking now? *Aly turns and smiles at me, then motions towards the upstairs.* Jessica Blake: Oh shoot.. Christopher's 2nd birthday... That's tomorrow!! Alyson Starr: Yep, And I gotta get this cake done now before we have to leave for Animosity. So.. Since Katie isn't around be honest... You're worried aren't you? *Aly tosses me a cupcake without frosting and I smile, ripping a small piece off and popping it in my mouth.* Jessica Blake: Honestly... I'm just worried about my neck and my back... Their still killing me! But about losing.. Nope Alyson Starr: Well.. Just try not to let her get the upper-hand AT ALL. We both know it can switch throughout the match, So just keep on her and you'll be alright. Jessica Blake: Right... I'll try. So this chick... She doesn't seem too much of a threat... Atleast.. Not while shes going on and on and crap... Alyson Starr: Well well well.. Look whos getting into the wrestling smack talk. *I shake my head and laugh, taking another piece off the cupcake and eating it.* Jessica Blake: Just being honest... Geez. Alyson Starr: Get over here and help me ice these cupcakes so we can get to the arena. *I smile and stand up, walking over to the counter.* *The TGW arena was buzzing with people getting ready for animosity. But me, Im in the Siren's locker room with Katie and Alyson, AND a camera man. His camera slowly moves up my body u til it reaches my face. I smile and start pulling my hair up in a ponytail.* Jessica Blake: You know.. Its funny.. You can get.. I'll admit it... Manhandled by 2 men.. Get injured.. be completely sore.. And your opponent still will have nothing to say about you. Now... Onyx... I don't know if its because you don't WANT to say awful things which is well... Sweet, really. OR you know you're going to lose this match. Now normally, I'm not one to say I'm going to win and blah blah blah... But in this case.. You're head doesn't seem in the game... And that gives me the advantage. But don't think this means I'm going to be underestimating you. Nope, i will be on my A-Game tonight.. Despite what happened last week.. So if this little stint is a trick to get me off my game.. its not working.. so be ready tonight Onyx... Cause I definitly am.. *I smile sweetly into the camera as Aly and Katie get up. We make our way out of the locker room as the camera fades to black.*
