Burning Passion ▹ ROLLINS [COMPLETED]

◊ Prologue ◊

◊ SUMMARY ◊

They have a ❝BURNING PASSION❞ for love...

Eleanor Nicole Knight, otherwise known as just Ellie to her friends and family, had one little, yet bizarre, dream in mind since she was a little girl - and that was to become a professional wrestler. She went by the ring name of ❝The Dark Angel❞ Scarlett Knight.

Alongside her best friend and partner-in-crime, Lillie Arnold (otherwise known as ❝The Anti-Angel❞ Lillie Luna), they are about to take the WWE by storm.

Now, however, Ellie is insecure and reserved, almost innocent-to-the-touch, driven girl. However, she has a bad past that she can't seem to run away from, but that's before wrestling came into the picture, of course.

But when she's thrown into an on-screen love/hate relationship with an seemingly nice Colby Lopez (famously known as Seth Rollins), she doesn't know what to think, considering the fact he's a total ass towards her off-screen. She can't wait until she gets away from him every night.

Despite being so rude and cocky, while she forms this sort of soft hatred towards him, he goes out of his way to protect her in and outside of the ring. Something starts to drive her completely up the wall about him and she can't seem to figure out why.

When the lights go out and the spotlight's on just them two, it ignites a burning passion within the both of them. It's something neither of them have ever known before.

Ellie is bound and determined to get deeper into Seth's past the best that she can before it's too late... Before he pushes her away permanently.

Unless, perhaps, this could be the burning passion love they have been seeking all along...

◊ PROLOGUE ◊

"Working with your partner outside of the ring is key with working better with them inside of the ring."

"I don't need you! Why are you even here for?!"

"So, as you sign this contract to be Seth Rollins' on-screen love interest, we advise you to think through this another time, just in case."

"What the hell do you mean you don't need me? You need me and don't you ever forget it!"

"Again, you may get hurt..."

"A Spear to Scarlett! Ouch, that looked like it really hurt!"

"...You may get frustrated..."

"You know what? I don't need this! I will go back to Japan if I have to!"

"...You may go crazy while doing this storyline, honestly..."

"This is shit and you know it! I hate this place! I fucking hate you!"

"But you can't forget who you are when you step into that ring to compete."

"I am 'The Dark Angel' Scarlett Knight and I'm the best damn female wrestler in the world today. Don't you ever forget that. I know that none of you like me whatsoever. But after seven years, amateurs like Kevin Owens or even Chris Jericho have the nerve to make fun of me! People like Charlotte and the rest of this poor excuse of a Women's Division have the class to disrespect me! They have nothing on me! I'm the best! I'm the best damn wrestler in the world today!"
