:: It’s a dark and quiet day, clouds are in the air blocking out any light that could pass through them. Leaving the area dark and gloomy. It’s been one full day sense the bank.  It was a horrible day, a child, was shot, and placed in to the hospital in critical condition, A child that Erik Dean has run into a few times, even though they had just met, Dean was fond of the child, it was like meeting a little brother, and he also met his mother, Jennifer. Dean was falling for her fast. But what had hopped to be a good day went wrong. 

We take a closer look and we can now see a hospital, we then go up to the critical room, were we can see Jake sleeping, and sitting beside his bed with his head down, is the world champion Erik Dean. He is in the room waiting for Jennifer to come back, for she went down to go get some coffee. Right now Dean is in a dark place, for he feels responsible for Jakes shooting. 

Jennifer then walks into the room with two cups of coffee, she then pulls up a seat and sits next to Dean. She then hands him the cup, but he does not respond. 

Jennifer: This was not your fault Erik, he is still alive, there is noting to be worried about any more. 

Erik Dean: But if I hadn’t of stood up, and started to talk, they would not have been so frustrated, and maybe they wouldn’t of shot.  

Jennifer: There is no way that you would have known that, things turned out all right, Jake is ok., and thank you for staying with us, I know you don’t know us very well yet, but it means a lot to me. 

Erik Dean: Its alright, but for now. I am going to go take a walk, if you need any thing, call my cell. 

Dean then gets up from his chair, so does Jennifer; she walks him to the door, but stops him, and leans up against him and presses her lips against his. She then backs away and smiles. 

Jennifer: Come back. 

Erik Dean: I will. 

Dean then shows off a smile, but only for a second, Jennifer then walks back over to Jake’s bedside, and sits in the chair and holds his hand. 

Dean is walking down the halls of the hospital; he gets to the stairwell, and climbs up. For some reason he is going to the roof. He then reaches the top shortly and opens the door, bringing in the air, for up at the top, it’s a little chilly. Deans Trench coat drifts in the air as he walks over to the edge of the building. Dean then looks down from 5 stories above, He can see an Ambulance pull in, and off in the distance he can see a fire. Dean then lowers his head. 

 Erik Dean: What has this world come to, when people lash out in violence. When something goes wrong, people panic, and releases the monster with in them. I am tired of it, and I will have to go through it on Sunday with switchblade, for I know that he will feel fear, and release the monster with in him 

I don’t want that to happen, and because I am human, the same could happen to me as well, and in the state of mind I am in, something could go wrong, and I could lose my self, and no longer be in control, if that were to happen, Switchblade will be done with. 

As much as I want to keep this title, I do not wish to harm Switchblade in any way, but in this match, is going to happen weather I want it to or not.  Because we as humans can not control what we do when we are angry, and who ever says they can is lire, because the emotion of rage is the hardest to control.

Sense yesterday, I know the emotion very well, and I do believe Switchblade knows it too, he feels angered that I hold the title, he wants it, he wants to be in the light, and to get there, he will do what ever it takes. But for me to keep it, I will have to do what ever it takes. I truly don’t think this will be a match for children to be watching, this match will be a very gory one. Blood will drip from the cages, and flesh will be hanging from the cage wall, Bones will be broken, Dreams will be crushed, and lives…may end.  

 Then the wind just stops, and every thing around him pauses. Then a light appears from eh clouds, and standing next to Dean, is the woman in the white dress, his sister, Lisa. 

 Lisa: You know, I finally get you to say that you are a champion, and then something like this happens. Jesus. 

Erik Dean: Leave me alone. 

 Lisa: Um no, see, I am here to make sure that you keep that belt, I am here to make sure that you believe that you are a champion, I am here to make sure that you are happy, and that you are your self. 

Erik Dean: Well I have to break it to you sis, but I am none of the above. 

 Lisa: Really? I think Jake thinks so, and what about Jennifer? I think she thinks that you are a great Champion. 

What happened yesterday was not your fault, stuff like that happens, and it would have happened even if you were not there in the bank. Because you were there was just dumb luck.  

I took care of Jake, so you would not have to worry; he is fine, now why are you holding back. Stand up and become the champion I know you are. Stand up to Switch, and just let every thing go, don’t hold back, I know you don’t want to hurt him, but do it any way, because if you hold back you will lose, and you don’t want that, I don’t want that, Jennifer don’t want that, and I know Jake does not want that. 

Dean then lifts his head up as the wind passes through his hair; he lifts his head up and faces Lisa. 

Erik Dean: But what if I can’t? What if I let go, and still don’t win? 

 Lisa: That is a chance that ever one most make, even if you let go, you wont know in till the end. Nothing is known, up in till the very last second. 

 Dean then smiles and starts to walk towards the door that will lead back down to the critical floor. Lisa then fallows him down. 

 Lisa: So when were you going to tell me about this Jennifer? 

Erik Dean: Well sense you know all, I figured I wouldn’t have to tell you, you would just know. And because you know all, who will win my match on Sunday? 

 Lisa: Nice try Erik, but I can’t tell you that. Any way, I will see you later. 

The room then becomes clear again and noise can be herd from below, Dean then starts to smile as he makes his way to the door of the Critical floor. He opens the door, and waiting for him there is Jennifer, She has her one foot pressed up against the wall, and her body as well, she smiles when she sees him. Dean returns the smile. 

 Jennifer: Jake woke up, he wants me to take you out to that launch, and also get him a big mac. 

 Both Jennifer and Dean start to laugh. 

 Erik Dean: You know what, I would love to. 

 Dean then opens the door for Jennifer, as she walks by, he grabs her hand and holds it tightly, Jennifer then starts to smile as Dean fallows her out. They both walk down the stairs together, side-by-side. 

Erik Dean’s thoughts: Maybe this is what it means to be happy for once. Maybe this is what it means to be a champion, to be happy.  

For one to be a true champion, he must happy, if he is not, then his mind is not clear, and he can not control his actions, and there for he can not wrestle properly, causing his down fall in the match.  

Now that I have a clear mind, I wont be able to fail at what I am doing, because I can see the path to greatness, and I can see the path to becoming a true champion, and it all starts on Sunday. 

All I have to do is beat Switchblade, but can I do it?
