Act I: Family Ties
Date: 10-20-2015
Camera: On
A camera kicks on and reveals Sebastian Raye, better known as, SM Raye cooking some signature recipes.The sound of playful banter and gibberish reverberates off the walls of the kitchen as everyone awaits the final preparation of their meal. Sebastian basks in the sounds of revelry for a moment.
Sebastian Raye: Supper is about done!
The smell of the food wafts on the air and fills the entirety of the house as Sebastian smiles at the work he is putting in. It has been a long time since the family has been able to sit down for a meal together. He, for one, is happy to have everyone.
Sebastian Raye: Come and get it kids!
The father figure is trying his best to be just that as he stirs things for the final time.
Serai Daniela: Coming Dad! Just put the princesas down to bed. And got Jazzy and Juju in their pajamas.
Serai Daniela Sanchez-Raye is seen coming down the stairs. Her long raven tresses pulled back into a youthful ponytail. Dressed in a tank top with Howard University sweatpants, the young mother is accompanied by her youngest siblings/wards Jasmine ‘Jazzy’ Raye and Julian ‘Juju’ Raye.
Juju: Eat eat time!
Jazzy: I hungry Papí
Sebastian turns and smiles at the three.
Sebastian Raye: Javi! Let’s go!
Javier runs into the kitchen like comic book hero The Flash.
Javier Raye: Sorry Dad was teaching Serafina to play Mortal Kombat.
Sebastian turns to his son and shakes his head.
Sebastian Raye: I swear... I catch you two anywhere near your bed... I am going to brain you.
Serai laughs.
Serai Daniela: That didn't sound like Mortal Kombat to me.
Javier looks at his sister and sticks out his tongue as he turns to Serafina.
Javier Raye: Don’t mind her. She’s a stick in the mud. Heh heh.
Serai Daniela: I'm the stick in the mud who is allowing your girlfriend to live here with you. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have a girlfriend to begin with. You forgot this is my house.
Javier Raye: Gracias hermana.
Serai just nods as Serafina looks down towards the floor.
Sebastian Raye: Serafina fix your plate. You two too. Rai! You and your hellions get your asses in here!
Sebastian chuckles lightly.
Rai yells from upstairs.
Rai: Fuck you gringo loco!
Serena Leone: I'm not that bad Tìo!!!
Jacob Leone: I am n- Ok maybe a little bit.
Trey Weathers: Whatever.
Rashad Weathers: Bite me!
Malachi Leone: That was funny.
Josiah Leone: Coming!
Sebastian goes and stands by the steps.
Sebastian Raye: Ok I will correct the statement. Serai, Rena, Siah, and the hellions! Let’s go!
Sebastian fixes himself a plate and sits down as Serai and the rest of the kids come down. Javier pulls out a chair for Serafina and helps her sit down as everyone fixes their plates and gather around the table.
Sebastian Raye: Who wants to say grace?
Javier Raye: I will.. Will everyone join hands and bow your heads.
Everyone does as the younger man asks of them.
Javier Raye: God… We thank you for this food we are about to ingest. We thank you for all the blessing and learning opportunities you have graced us with. We thank for those he have entered our lives and by you will.. Though it saddens us have left it. Lord.. I want to thank you for allow us another opportunity to be united as one as a family. Thank you for showing us the way when you’re able and thank you for forgiving us when the way is unseen to us. Does anyone want to add anything?
Sebastian Raye: Lord I want to thank you for your spirit passing into my son to guide him through the words he seeked to find. And I concur with the thanks of the chance to gather here together today. I pray that you keep us in your sight lord. And that is about all I can think of. So anyone else want to add anything?
Serai Daniela: Thank you for Your guidance, Your unmerited grace and mercy that you show us renewed every day. I thank You for keeping us together as a family and protecting us from all harm. Please bless every person in this room and grant traveling mercy to those who are on the way. In Your son Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
Sebastian Raye: Amen.. Alright everyone enjoy.
The father figure begins eating.
Sebastian Raye: So mija… You got a big match coming up. Care to tell us about it?
Serai nods before taking her first bite.
Serai Daniela: Sì Papa. A huge tag match to retain the LAW tag titles at Night of Glory II. I'm hoping my and Christine's luck actually comes through for us. This is my first time tagging with her. I don't want to let her down.
Sebastian nods slowly as he listens.
Sebastian Raye: Hard work is important.. And I have no doubt you two will do great.
Serai Daniela: We have 'stiff' competition with the Frienimies. Oh who am I kidding? I have no idea how this team even got this chance. But I want to keep those belts, Dad. This is our time. Night after night, I've proven win or lose that I belong in the LAW, in this business. Stood toe to toe with a legend and held my ground against the some of the so called best. Despite nearly losing my life in a Japanese Death match, I still performed and fought even though the odds were not in my favor.
Javier Raye: Hold on you were in a Japanese Deathmatch? YOU?! And dad hasn’t given you an ear full?
The younger Raye looks back and forth between his father and sister.
Sebastian Raye: She did very well in that match.
Serai Daniela: Thanks Dad. I was trying to make you proud.
Sebastian nods again.
Sebastian Raye: The fact you stepped into the match with as little experience as you have is pride worthy. The showing you put in it was exceptional. I would say you gave your mother and I a run for a money in my honest opinion. Though you ever do another one… I can’t promise I’ll watch simply out of not liking to watch you suffer.
Serai Daniela: No worries. I've promised a lot of people I wouldn't do another. Never again.
Sebastian smiles lightly.
Javier Raye: Good… I heard about it.. Sounded really bad.
Serai nods solemnly.
Serai Daniela: It was gruesome. That's for sure.
Javier nods in agreement.
Javier Raye: Heard you got blown up. You look ok to me.
At that moment in walks in Serai’s biological father, Antoni Banks and her Godfather, L’Shaun Weathers. Behind them is Maleek Weathers, her best friend.
Maleek Weathers: Hey everyone.
L’Shaun Weathers: Did we miss grace? Thank God I’m starvin’.
Serai tries her best not to laugh at her godfather and his comment. The trio make their plates and sit down at the table.
Antoni Banks: How are ya all doin’?
Everyone at once: GOOD!
The house slowly fills as more and more people come in the camera fades on their smiling faces.
Act II: Best Left Forgotten
Date: 10-24-2015
Camera: Off
Bright lightning flashing and the sound of thunder are tell tale signs of an oncoming storm, but on this night there is an entirely different meaning to that word. As the weather changes outside a sinister action is taking place within the confines of a young girl’s bedroom. She has finally settled down for the night while her parents are out and enjoying some time just for them. The bedroom door opens slowly with a slight creaking escaping its hinges. A shadowy figure walks into the room slowly.
Figure: Hello Dani…
Daniela shakes and hides under her covers hoping the person would eventually give up and leave. Her hopes are shattered as the blanket is ripped from her, leaving her vulnerable. The hot breath of her guest hits her neck heavily.
Figure: You going to be my good girl tonight?
Daniela shudders and begins to beg, pleading tearfully.
Serai Daniela: Please don't… I'll be a good girl. I promise, Abuelo. I won't be bad anymore… Por favor….
Fingers slide up her bare legs slowly, each digit making sure to add a certain amount of pressure. Each passing second finds his hand creeping higher and higher up her leg and teasing her smooth skin.
Serai Daniela: Abuelo por favor.. Stop…
The hand creeps higher and hooks her panties before tearing them away from her body. The poor, defenseless child closes her eyes, pleading inaudibly as her attacker does unspeakable things to her.
Serai Daniela: Mamí… Papì….please come home.. Ayudamè..ayudamè...por favor..
His lips fall upon her skin over and over again as his hand moves in ways that she is unlearned in. His vicious and unprovoked assault continues his fingers entering orifices.
Figure: Mmm.. You are a good girl ain’t you?
Serai Daniela: MAMI! PAPI!
The young woman jumps to a seated position in bed, her eyes wide in fear and her body coated with a cold sweat. She runs her fingers through her drenched raven tresses and breathes a sigh of relief as she realizes where she is, safe at home.
Serai Daniela: Oh thank the lord.. It was just a nightmare.
A familiar voice calls to the young woman from downstairs.
Maleek Weathers: Dani breakfast!
The young mother of two takes a moment to breathe before brushing her hair and heading downstairs.
Act III: La Reina’s Sonnet
Date: 11/12/2015
Camera: On
Backstage camera is taking an unguided tour of the arena. When it comes across the silhouette of a young woman. As the woman turns her face is revered looking like that of a cracked china doll. The young woman takes a slow breath and stares through the camera.
Serai Daniela: You think I am a doll? You think I am to be attended to and sheltered? Well there is a lot to me you really do not know or understand. Come Night of Glory II and this tag title match, you will understand full well who I am. Ana,you may be a sweetheart, but sweetness and kind words are not going to get you out of the Hell that is awaiting you. Amber..you may think you have us pegged.. May think you two have it all figured out. But the truth of the matter is your theatrics and obviously false bravado fool absolutely no one.
She takes another slow breath.
Serai Daniela: It's clarion clear Ana that you're the weakest link in the chain that is your tag team. You have no idea whether you are coming or going and that will be your downfall. It will be the end of your 'illustrious' career… But that only covers half of this match doesn’t it?
Serai holds up one finger.
Serai Daniela: That just leaves.. Amber… For far too long I have watched women like you walk around like you are one of two things. Firstly like you are God’s gift to this industry and secondly like you are the true faces of fear when you don’t even know what fear truly is. I’ve watched you all act like unworthy worms. As you attempt cheap imitations of what my mother and aunt once have done. I have seen scarier moments come from a jack in the box compared to you lousy degenerate scum.
She holds up two fingers.
Serai Daniela: Christine and I have worked too hard for too long to come up short. So come time for us to meet face to face for the championships.. You two will know all too well what the true faces of fear look like. You will know fully well that you were in the ring with a pair of monsters. A pair of beasts who know no fear and show no mercy… And thrive on chaos and destruction…
She holds up three fingers.
Serai Daniela: See you there.. Sweet dreams.
