First Victory

[Denise du Pris]

Act 1: First Kiss and a First Win

“The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.”
Emil Ludwig

The scene opens on Phillips Arena in Atlantic City. The show had ended, and the crowds were starting to leave the arena, except for the brave few that waited for the favorite superstars to come out after a long night in the ring. The superstars head out for the night either to celebrate or to recover from the bruises and other injuries that they had received in the ring. The stars were shinning brightly against the midnight black sky, while the moon casts its beams on the earth below. We soon see Denise outside with Daredevil, after the show. She couldn't believe what she had done. Not only had she won the match against Klayton but also she had kissed him. The thought of it made her heart flutter when her mind flashed back to them in the middle of the ring, lips locked together, giving into every passion and every bit of lust that they had between them. She brushes out Daredevil's coat, not hearing the back door opening. Klayton "The Machine" Gunn walks out noticing Denise hasn't heard him and decides to creep up on her. He gets close enough to her as he gently turns her around kissing her again as it feels just as awesome as the first time.

Klayton: Hey babe, this must be the only time I have ever felt happy after a loss in the ring. You deserved it though so I'm not gonna complain but congratulate you, so well done babe.

Denise: Thank you. I thought you had me there for a while.

Klayton: i would be lying if I said to you that I thought you had me as I really did think I had it. I'm glad you won it made me realize that maybe I should have my head in the game more. So next week after your match I expect to see that TV Title around that sexy waist of yours baby.

Denise smiles and blushes softly; she kisses him lightly on the lips once again. She soon turns her attention back to Daredevil and continues to brush him out.

Denise: I don't plan on losing that match. I mean it's going to be tough, but I'm going to walk away with that TV. Title.

Klayton stood there admiring his beautiful girlfriend Denise as she brushed Daredevil.

Klayton - That's good then, I got a text from management before coming out looks like I got to face Fear again but this time for the Intercontinental Title. Glad we both got rewarded for our match after all it may have just been business in that ring but I wanted the best for us both. I must say Daredevil is a nice looking horse, looks a big strong looking horse how long you had him?

Denise: I've had him since Markus got him when he was about a year old. He actually had him imported from the west after he got a slight injury when he was in the races. They were going to put him to pasture.

Klayton seemed a bit shocked at what they were going to do to him just because he couldn't race no more because of his injury.

Klayton - Glad you have him then, nothing worst then having that done to him. Anything like that happened to my race horses I wouldn't do that just give them all the help they needed.

Denise: I know you would. Your horses looked like they were taken care of. Ummm... About the kiss in the middle of the ring earlier... I...

Klayton blushes but an attempt to hide it but it doesn’t work as he makes himself look a total fool.

Klayton - That kiss in the middle of the ring well Ummm...was just simply amazing. I wasn't expecting it but it defiantly made me feel good, don't know if you could tell.

Denise smiles slyly as she sets the brush aside, and puts Daredevil's harness back on him to lead him around for a walk before putting him in the trailer for the next trip.

Denise: I could tell. I was just thrilled that the match was over and I was walking away with the number one contender's spot... Plus the fact that I wanted to do that all weekend.

Klayton's face lights up with joy, the fact that Denise wanted to kiss him all weekend because he wanted to do the same to Denise.

Klayton - Okay baby don't rub it in that you beat me, I'm only joking I'm proud of you i really am. As soon as the match was over all I wanted to do was holding you in my arms and kiss you.

Denise: I know. I didn't care if anybody was there or not... But I know that our kiss will be planted all over the internet now.

She couldn't help but laugh, at the thought. Sam would be calling her anytime before the night was out, about it.

Klayton: I don't mind who knows about us baby, as I'm ready to tell the whole world...the very world that it's you and me against. People must realizes just because were together doesn't mean that were not capable of taking care of business when we need to, we proved that tonight.

Denise: That we did. We proved to them all that no matter if we have feelings for each other nothing will ever change that. Next week both of us will walk away with titles.

Klayton smiled as Denise always looked beautiful to him but when she was certain of something she sounded so much sexier to him.

Klayton - Totally agree with you and don't worry next week we will show everyone that there is only one couple here in UWA that is the perfect couple and that's us baby.

Denise: That's right. Why don't you go ahead and head back to the hotel. I'm going to finish up here and then maybe we could go out tonight.

Klayton: Yeah okay I'll see you tonight then...Oh wait first i have something for you.

Klayton pulls out a box a long rectangle one, he opens it showing Denise a very expensive looking black bracelet.

Klayton: I hope you like it? I brought it as a gift for after the match.

She takes the box and smiles softly. The onyx gems sparkled in the dim light, as she hugged Klayton.

Denise: It's beautiful. Thank you Klayton.

Klayton smiled as he kissed Denise before hugging her as he started to walk to his car he turned to her.

Klayton: I'll meet you at that club we saw earlier and it's okay you carry on checking my sexy butt out.

Klayton winks at Denise before turning around and walking off to his black 2011 Chrysler Crossfire. Denise just smiles as she watches him walk off. He did have a nice ass. She turns her attention back to Daredevil and takes him over to a grassy spot so he could graze before they set off again. Klayton pulls off leaving Denise alone once again.

Denise: Nate do you really think that you can stand against me and keep your title? I mean you saw what I did to Klayton tonight, and I was holding back. Monday night I will not hold back on you, nor will I stop until I get what I want. In the fast match I was in, we all stood in the middle of the ring and I was one of the last ones standing against you. You got the upper hand, and won the title, but you are going to lose it to me, just like you should have the first time.

Denise smiles at the thought of becoming the new TV champion, knowing that she would have to do whatever she had to take that title from Nate.

Denise: I've never been one to jump the gun, and saying that I have a match won, but I know I already have this won. Do you know why that is Nate? I know your moves, and how you carry yourself in the ring. All I need is one opening and then I can bring you down.

Denise smirks as she leads Daredevil back to the trailer. She hooks him back up, and closes the door, before heading to her car, and drives off back to her hotel as the scene fades to black.

Act 2: Immortally Really Sucks

The scene opens on the Ellis Hotel. It's lit up from top to bottom with bright lights from the windows that surround it, and under the canopy. The camera pans to one of the higher windows, where we find the balcony doors open, with the curtains billowing out into the night over the city. The TV was blaring with the latest from Nate Bishop. Denise stood out on the balcony staring at the city below as she listened to what he was saying. What did he know? He hadn't even lived a century yet, and hadn't seen what she had. He was cold, and from what she could see only cared for one thing, and one thing only. The Title he carried. That would change on Monday night.

Denise: My you have such a way with words. Do you really think you scare me Nate? You are truly pathetic and a cold-hearted bastard from what I can see. I have seen this world change at least half a dozen times or more. I mean I have seen the car begin, and turn into what they are today. I've seen cities grow up around me, and turn into metropolises. I've lived through wars, and famine, I've seen populations disappear, and discover worlds that have disappeared into stories in books. So you now know why I am not afraid of someone like you. You haven't seen anything yet, and Monday you will see what I can really do. I know I haven't been in the business for 4 years but it seems like I can still deal out the damage that I always could.

Denise leans against the railing, as the black onyx bracelet dangled from her wrist.

Denise: The day I died, was one I will never forget. I did something that I shouldn't have. I walked alone on the streets of New York, and a lady never went anywhere without an escort. I had just arrived in America, and that night, I became what I am today. I am immortal. I will never age, but will always remain the same. The only way I can die is if another immortal takes my head. But like I told Klayton, it'll be a long time before that ever happens. I am too good at what I do, and no one can stop me... including you Nate... not this time.

The phone rings in her room, and she sighs, as she walks into the room, and answers it.

Denise: Hello?

Sam: Well, well, well... I thought you weren't going to give in to those emotions yet?

Denise: I... Well emotions were running high after the match and I...

Sam: I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I mean you spent the weekend with him, and you mean to tell me nothing happened...

Denise: Nothing did happen. We went for a ride, and then we spent the rest of the evening just talking... Nothing more.

Sam: So he hasn't gotten you in the sack yet huh?

Denise: No he hasn't. I told you I wasn't going to jump into another relationship like I did last time.

Sam: Good to know. Listen Markus called. He wanted to know if you are going to be free next weekend. Nancy Jubie called and wanted to know if you're still going to be helping them this year with the park.

Denise: Yes! It’s the one thing I look forward to every year at this time. I'll call her when I get a chance and let her know.

Sam: Good. Congrats on the win, by the way. So does this mean you might end up facing Klayton again?

Denise: Maybe, if I get the title, or should I say when I get the title I know I'll have to face him sooner or later. But my first true title shot is going to be one that Nate will never forget.

Sam: He seems like a real asshole if you ask me. I mean I know you've gone up against some real jerks but this Nate guy takes it all.

Denise: You're right there. But he's going to be taught a lesson on Monday night, and when he does learn it, it'll be to late, because I'll be walking away with the title.

Sam: I don't think I've seen a time that you were never sure on something. Just don't get ahead of yourself.

Denise: I don't plan on it. Listen I'll talk to you later. I'm going out tonight, and I still need to get ready.

Sam: All right. Call me tomorrow then.

Denise: Right. Talk to you later.

Denise hangs up the phone and walks back out onto the balcony, as she looks up at the stars.

Denise: Do you know what it's like to watch everyone around you die? I may have lived for a long time, but losing those you love is never easy. When I married for the first time it was the happiest day of my life, but I knew I would out live him... I did. I watched him grow old, wither, and die, while I remained young and beautiful as I always have and always will. He wasn't the first that I witnessed pass away, and fade away into nothingness... I have had family that died, and no matter how many times I have fallen in love, become part of a family, it will always hurt. Even now when I think about them, it makes me sad to know that I will always remain, but you... You will fade away with time, just like every title that I've seen or had in my time... It's just gold.

Denise smiles softly as she looks down at the bracelet on her wrist, knowing there was only one person that truly understood her.

Denise: There is one thing that you don't understand Nate, I have all the skill that I need to bring you down. Yes I have had time to do what I want, and I have studied under some of the greatest trainers in the world at the time. Do you really think I would still be alive if not? Don't think you're safe yet. Monday night will be a match for the ages, and I will not stop until I get the title from you. It should have been mine to begin with. But you came in there, and took the chance away from me. But this time you will pay for it. I'm not afraid to bleed... Are you? See you soon Nate.

Denise smirks as she hears a knock at her door. She turns and heads back inside, knowing Klayton would be on the other side ready for their date. Tonight would be another wonderful night, as long as she was with Klayton. She grabs her jacket and heads for the door, as the scene fades to black.
