The scene opens up with Chris Night standing in front an empty lot. He's wearing a red du rag, black jeans, a red T-Shirt and a black pair of Adidas. There are houses all around the lot but for some reason, the house that was once sitting here in the neighborhood in this low end neighborhood of San Bernardino is gone. Chris keeps his eyes on the empty, abandoned lot for sometime before he turns toward the camera with a serious expression on his face.
Chris Night: "This is where it all started for me, Kenzie Rydell. This is the location that made my the man I am today. Yes, it's an empty lot today but this is where my childhood home once stood. This is where I grew up with my older sister, my best friend, Jade. While my parents and I didn't always get along, I loved them and they loved me... But they didn't approve of me following in Jade's footsteps as a wrestler because I dropped out of high school and was still 17 years old."
"So what did I do next? I left home. I ran off with my high school sweetheart, my first wife and the mother of my son CJ, Amanda, and I decided to chase my dream. My parents though? They went out searching for me across the country because they were worried about my well being. They were good people and they just wanted what was best for their son... But chasing me ended up not being what was best for them. They ran into a serial killer on the loose in Kansas... And boom, they were dead. My parents were gone because of me. I blamed myself and my sister Jade? She blamed me too."
"I've lived with this guilt my entire life and no matter what I did to try and shake it... It's there, creeping into my veins. Those who know me during my first run in Inferno, they saw me burn my childhood house down to try and burn down my past but it's impossible. It's always alive and well right here."
Chris points to his head and shakes his head.
Chris Night: "Then in Inferno... A man, no, a monster named Skylar Riggs beat and tortured my family. He put Robb and Jade, who were married at the time, in the hospital. he started it off with Jade and he brutalized her. I simply watched it happen because I was hurt at all of the resentment Jade sent my way but eventually a switch inside of me flipped. I wanted to avenge Jade and Robb. I knew I made a mistakye b not doing anything."
"Especially because it was me who Riggs wanted. He wanted me all along to make an example out of me. So I changed as a person. I did and said the right things. I fought Riggs and he almost ripped my knee off and he put me on the shelve for two months. Jade developed some form of Stockholm Syndrome and she turned on me and Robb ended up in a mental ward because he became homicidal. He wanted to kill me. But I kept fighting and it wasn't for myself, it was for my family. I ended up beating Riggs and he was never heard from again."
"But what did I get from that moment? Yeah, I became a different person, someone who cared but the darkness? It still lingered inside of me and it grew... Because despite the relationship gained with Kelly Fury during this whole ordeal... I still lost Jade and Robb. Jade has been missing for over three years and Robb? You think my attack on him was malicious? He deserved it. No matter what I've done... Trying to rebuild a relationship with him, giving him his job at #FSociety... He still wanted nothing to do with me."
Chris looks down and shakes his head before letting out a sigh.
Chris Night: "The other day on Twitter, Kelly, my ex-wife, made fun of me having night terrors. You know why that is? Because I have them. Because I'm a haunted man, haunted by his past. One night I freaked out so bad, I ended up on top of Kelly with my hands wrapped around her throat, choking the life from her until she finally got me to snap out of it. That was where the real downfall of our relationship began because after that, how could I be trusted again? We tagged together after that and we even had a son together, Jackson, and none of that helped repair the damages."
"Our marriage was broken and things kept getting darker and darker for me. I kept trying to be something that I'm not... I kept trying to hide who I am and be some 'good guy'. That's not me, that's not who the fuck I am. The darkness that engulfs my heart, that engulfs my soul, it's nothing that NONE of you can understand."
He runs his hands over his face and takes a deep breath before looking back at the empty lot.
Chris Night: "This lot represents me. A man who had everything but lost it all because his own decisions burnt it all down... Because he was trying to be something that he isn't."
Chris snaps his fingers and suddenly a dozen or so construction workers show up and they start to lay out their equipment that they will use to build a house on the property.
chris Night: "But it doesn't mean that I can't rebuild on what's bare. It doesn't mean that I can't figure out the man who I truly am... All I needed to do was strip myself down to where I was nothing... And then I can rebuild myself into something greater than I've ever been. I have Mikayla, I still have CJ and now I have a new baby on the way. I have a new beginning that I don't plan on letting go."
"Why? Because Mikayla loves the real version of me, the one that I tried to hide away from the world. So here I am, Kenzie, this is who I am. I've never been happier in my life, to be honest. I do what I want when I want and it's wonderful. This is the real Chris Night. The one who follows through with his plans. You ever wonder why #FSociety is closing? Because it was all part of my plan but that won't be revealed now. It'll be revealed tomorrow night at the end of the show."
"As for this match with you... I've wanted this all along. You want to know why, Kenzie? Because I see the real you. I know your'e hiding the dark side of you. I know that you're trying to be someone else to please the rest of the world and I want to show you the way... I don't want you to make the same mistakes as me because I see your potential. But you let people hold you back. Adrien. Adam. All of them. So many people telling you who you are and how to be and you LISTEN to them."
"So win or lose at Revelation, I'm going to make you my next project, Kenzie. I'm offering you a place at Nightfall... To be my next protege. You don't have to answer me now or even later. But think about it. Are you tired of being the butt of jokes? Of people walking on you? Are you sick of the Ashleigh Jericho's constantly giving you shit? Then let me show you how to be taken seriously."
"Join me and I'll show you why people 'Fear The Nightmare.' If you don't? Then you'll fall and you'll be the one who will 'Fear The Nightmare.' Don't make the biggest mistake of your life, Kenzie. See you soon.
As construction continues on the empty plot, Chris walks away from the scene and it fades away.
