Leanne Wilson leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. She didn't know how it had come to this. She had come to TNA to be the assistant to Dixie Carter and while Ms. Carter had been there it had been fine. Then everything went to hell the minute Immortal had taken over. She had felt relieved when Mr. Bischoff has assured her that her job was not at risk but now….she wish she had been fired. Leanne sighed and pushed herself off the wall, she had to get back to the locker room or else things would we worse then they already where. She reached down and grimaced as she picked up the case of beer she had been sent out to get. As she reached Immortal's locker room she heard Eric and Ric yelling through the door. "Uh oh things most really not be going well" Leanne thought. As she pushed the door open Eric whipped around and yelled "ABOUT TIME YOU GOT YOUR FAT ASS BACK HERE ". "Yes sir" Leanne sighed, used to this treatment by now. "I was out getting beer" she said lifting up the case. " Just set it over there and get out of the way" Ric snapped and turned back to the rest of Immortal. Leanne set the beer down by the couch and wandered to the back of the room trying to melt into the shadows. By now Leanne had learned to keep her eyes to the floor and not to say anything when Immortal was in meeting. Leanne suddenly felt eyes on her and raised her eyes to see Abyss leering at her. She shifted uncomfortably and tired to ignore his stare.

"So does everybody understand?" Ric voice suddenly cut through her nervousness and she raised her eyes back to the leaders of Immortal. As the locker room broke into conversation about attacking Kurt Angle, Leanne started creeping toward the door when Eric suddenly yelled her name. "Leanne get over here" he said pointing at his feet. Leanne walked over and stood before him "yes sir?" she asked even though she knew what was going to happen. "Now you know what I want" Eric said smiling at her and suddenly the locker room got very quite. Leanne looked around at the men gathered around her and knew she wasn't going to get any help from them. "Come one you bitch" Eric said "kneel down to the Immortals". Leanne slowly kneeled in front of Eric and said the worlds now ingrained in her mind. "I am not worthy of being in the presence of such Immortals" she mumbled and cried out when Eric grab her hair and pulled. "I didn't hear you" Eric demanded and Leanne repeated the praise. "Good" Eric said letting her go "now finish up". Leanne fought back tears and leaned forward and pressed her lips to Eric's shoes. She then slowly turned and kissed Ric's shoes. She stayed kneeled until all the members of Immortal had left the locker room.

Leanne stood slowly and wiped away the few tears that had managed to leak out. She walked over to her purse and dug out some mint gum out or her purse and tried to get grid her mouth of the taste of her humiliation. She then dug her makeup bag out of her purse and wondered over to the mirror at the far side of the room. She looked closely at her face and body in the mirror. She had dark brown hair, a mix of blue and green eyes, and toned body that she was proud of. She was no knockout by any means but she wasn't ugly either, she was just normal. Leanne quickly fixed her mascara that had run down her face "even the ugly ones have to make an effort' she remembered Eric yelling at her one day she had forgotten to wear makeup. "How did it come to this?" she asked herself again she reached down and pulled up her shirt. Scattered across her torso where multiple little scars, she ran her fingers over the older scars and felt tears welling in her eyes. As she dropped her shirt back into place and turned to pick up her bag she felt the pull of some of the fresher wounds opening up. She turned and lifted her shirt to look at the damage. She remembered when she had gotten those. She had forgotten to arrange for a limo to pick up Immortal up after the last taping and Hulk had sent Abyss after her. He had cut her with Janice twice before Hulk had told Abyss that she had enough.

Leanne shook herself out of her thoughts and reached down again to pick up her bag. She eased it onto her shoulder and walked out of the locker room. She was done for the night and she knew that Immortal would not be needing her anymore. She hurried through the hallways of the Impact Zone she noticed how people avoided her. Ever since Dixie had left the backstage atmosphere had changed, Immortal ruled with an iron fist. She was an outsider, she was a member of the enemy and so she was avoided. Leanne should be used to it by now, it had been this way since Immortal took over but today it hurt more. She was sick of being treated like trash but she had no way out. She had signed a contract to be Dixie assistant and when Eric had taken over her contract had been sold to him like everything else. Leanne sighed again and she felt her injuires start to bleed again and had to stop to take a breath.

As she pushed herself off the wall and started to walk down the hall to the parking lot she heard heavy footsteps behind her. She turned slowly and saw Abyss standing in the hallway in front of her. Leanne stumbled backwards trying to get away from him the look in his eyes more threatening then any violence she had been subjected to. Leanne turned to run ignoring the pain in her back but she didn't get a few feet down the hall before she felt a hand close around her arm. Leanne cried out as she was forcefully slammed into the wall her back protesting to the rough treatment. She recoiled into herself trying to get away from him as he started to lean in. "I want you to understand one thing" he said leaning down and hissing in her ear " you are mine, I have you marked". Leanne stated in horror up at him and in a flash of rebellion she spit right in his face. Abyss recoiled and then roared in fury. Abyss lunged forward violently and grab her by the throat and threw her against the wall "YOU BITCH" he screamed and raised his fist.

Leanne covered her head and closed her eyes bracing for the blow but it never came. She raised her head at the sound of a scuffle around her and was shocked to see another man standing in front of her with a chair in his and Abyss crumpled on the floor. "You listen to me" he hissed "you don't ever touch a women like that". He turned away from Abyss and looked at Leanne. "Are you okay?" he asked extending his hand and helping Leanne to her feet. "Thanks" Leanne said and reached down to pick up her bag but was beaten to it by her hero. 'My hero' Leanne thought and chuckled to herself 'I have been reading to many fairy tales'. "Yeah I'm fine" Leanne said accepting the bag from the man and smiling at him. "Hey you are that girl that is always hanging around with Immortal" he said and Leanne looked down the floor in embarrassment. "Well it certainly looked like you aren't there willingly" he said and Leanne looked up at him. She studied his face and she decided that even with his tattoos and his manhandling of Abyss he had a kind face and he looked like he wanted to help. "Not exactly" she said and sighed in defeat "its hell". The man look curious and suddenly Leanne realized what she had said. " I have to go" she said turning and running down the hall. Leanne reached her car and threw her bag in and slammed the door. "Idiot" she yelled at no one unparticular "a guy who is some what attractive is nice to you one time and you almost spill is guts". Leanne sighed and leaned against her seat and relaxed "its okay no one from Immortal saw it because Abyss was knocked out and you probably won't ever see this man again". Calmed she started her car and drove out of the parking lot. If she had looked back as she ran down the hall she would have noticed that the man had noticed the blood on the back of her shirt. As he turned and walked toward the locker room to meet his brother, he made a note to find this girl the next taping.
