The scene opens to that of a cabin within the confines of a wooded area, the forest surrounding this place looked long since dead mostly with a few trees still fighting the good fight. There Is a run-down jeep parked outside as we draw closer, that too has seen better days as well. We pass the jeep and peek inside the back which has a tarp layered on the base of it, a pool of blood having settled itself in the center as well as the edges. It is enough to send a shiver down anyone’s spine at first glance. We continue moving away from the jeep only to make our way towards the cabin.
Anyone familiar with a horror movie knows that would be a terrible idea, however this camera has no choice. The lights to the cabin were out, but we can see smoke and a trickle of embers floating up towards the hears before fizzling out. As we move around, the camera looks down at the ground to show a trail of blood leading in only one direction. The camera turns the corner where the light is at it’s brightest to show a fire raging within a stone prison. A makeshift grill sits above it where we see a man who needs little introduction.
Eli Zechariah Goddard.
He stands over the flames with a large hunting knife in hand as he prods at a steak that is cooking fiercely while holding a bottle of something in his other which he sips from before pouring over the meat causing the flames to ignite a lot more. The Blood Butcher chuckles to himself before slicing a bit of the meat from the edge and sticks it with the tip of the blade and lifts it up out of the fire and puts it in his mouth and nods.
Eli continues to chew the meat and takes another swig of his drink before stopping upon the sound of footsteps behind him…
Eli: “I can hear you… I thought I taught you better than that Minnie…”
Eli turns around to see his younger sister Minerva now leaning against the cabin outer wall with a smirk on her face.
Minerva: “C’mon now Eli, you know I do it on purpose.”
Eli: “And you know I hate it when you do… I’m glad you got decided to come.”
Minerva: “After you walkin’ out on Tombstone, what did you think I were gonna do brother? I need to know what’s going on.”
Eli: “What do you know?”
Minerva: “You and pa had a fallin’ out about something, that’s about it he isn’t saying much like usual.”
Eli turns his attention to the meat cooking and slices it in half. He grabs a tin plate and puts a piece of it onto it before offering it to his sister which she takes before removing her own knife and walks over to a wooden stool near the flame. Eli does the same again for himself and takes another seat beside her, the two siblings sitting in silence eating before Minnie breaks it.
Minerva: “So you gonna tell us what the fuck is goin around here?”
Eli: “I just disagreed with pa letting Wendell go off with that Cindy Todd. You see what he’s been doing in EMERGE, she’ using him like a weapon.”
Minerva: “Oh… Well pa tells me she’s helping him or something, she seems nice… I mean she is pretty right?”
Eli stops chewing and looks to his younger sister who stares at him blankly…
Minerva: “What? She is… You tellin’ me you don’t think she is hot?”
Eli: “Appearances can be deceiving you know that, she is pretty, but she uses it as a weapon. You just have to look at what’s doing in EMERGE right now…”
Minerva: “Yeah well, maybe some of those folks deserve it.”
Eli: “Maybe they do, but they don’t have the right to play judge, jury or executioner. Hell, not even Sundown had that right.”
Minerva: “Well you can blame the new owners for that shitstorm over there. You need to stop worrying about EMERGE and focus on that there God of Wrestlin’ tournament. You beat that gorger good n proper you did; we were so proud of you.”
Hearing that from his little sister put a smile on her brother’s face, he took a sip from the bottle of moonshine and offered it to her which she took from him and helped herself to a drink.
Minerva: “Which one of Jaspers batch is this?”
Eli: “Plum, I think… I can’t tell, all tastes the same to me these days.”
Minerva: “Yeah it does, but then all of it tastes good.”
Eli: “Better than that shit SCW is promoting this tournament with.”
Minerva laughs.
Minerva: “You happy you won?”
It was a strange question; Eli wasn’t sure how he should answer it. He took on an Icon, one of the legends that returned for the tournament and he won. Eli eventually nodded in response to his lil sis…
Eli: “Yeah, was only the first step though. When pa went to that SCW to wage the war with em, it was what spurred us to go to Emerge to fight this battle on two fronts. But now he’s back home where he belongs and I’m now looking at taking his place whether he wants me to or not…”
Minerva: “Yea- Wait wou might go to SCW?”
Eli: “Considering it, Minnie… There is a lot of prey worthy of hunting there, a lot of blood to be spilt...”
Minerva nods, she knows that SCW would be prime hunting grounds for a man like her brother. Although she still looks concerned a little about the revelation.
Minerva: “What about Sawyer and me, what will we do?”
Eli: “I need you two to be my eyes and ears while I am gone from Tombstone, I don’t like what’s happenin’ there right now, something ain’t right…”
Minerva: “If that’s the case you need ta stay, figure that out and fight it.”
Eli shrugs his shoulders while looking to the right when one of his dogs wanders towards the pair, Eli looks at it and immediately it sat, it didn’t need any sort of verbal communication. From there Eli tosses the steak to it and it immediately runs off into the shadows…
Eli: “It’s why I’m gone Minnie; I want to lure out whoever it is trying to ruin our home from within.”
Minerva: “Still think it’s stupid.”
Eli: “You’ll see in time…”
Eli shakes his head to himself knowing all to well what might be on the horizon for his home, he knows there were forces at large he hadn’t really comprehended but was going to get to the bottom of it.
Vs. Katie Steward and others probably.
Another day, another night with Eli stood in a field, he is decked out in his gear and looks at the camera with a glare. Everything fell into place for him in Round one of the God of Wrestling Tournament. He went head to head with an Icon, an impact player, a man who conquered Hollywood and came out on top. The hunt was a worthy just as much as the prey put before him, but for Eli it was only the beginning.
Eli sneers at the camera…
[Rec.]
Eli: “My hunt of Hollywood continues in a few days’ time…”
Eli chuckles.
Eli: “Shaun Cruze, you were a worthy hunt, a worthy prey as I expected. But you were no match for the blood butcher in the end. But Shaun Cruze was merely one hurdle for me to overcome, I now have another challenge who lives in the bubble of Hollywood and Television. Katie Steward, Hall of Fame superstar, a woman who claims to be a goddess… If such things were true it makes one wonder, why she entered into this tournament to begin with. But the answer is simple, EGO. It is the EGO that drives my next hunt, doesn’t it Katie? Your ego, your vanity, your desire to be seen and adored by one and all, it’s a poison you’ve grown addicted too throughout your career or maybe even your life.”
Eli: “It is an addiction you cannot get rid of but I am here to help you with this Katie. But not in the way you think, there will be no 12 step program to aid you. No, I simply intend on denying you that which you crave, to move on in the tournament to placate that EGO of yours. You will fight valiant no doubt, you will scream your head off because that is what you do. Many a prey has screamed in the past, you will be of no exception before I move on to face another of the hallowed SCW Superstars. Another Hall of Famer and one destined for those hallowed Halls. I shall speak on them both later however for I have not finished with you yet Katie Steward.”
Eli: “I know you look at one like me and scoff, I am nothing in the eyes of one such as you. You mock me out of fear because if you can laugh at what you fear, then you believe that very fear will subside and you will be able to give me the fight I deserve. I hope this is the case Katie Steward. I want this to be the case because adding your name to the list of those who have fallen to the Blood Butcher, well… It is too good an opportunity to pass up… And I shall look forward to making you scream when we meet, the but pleasure will be all mine…”
Eli laughs and the scene fades to black.
