Katarina's POV

October 14, 2010

Such a lovely day for a stroll downtown, wouldn't you say? Except for the fact that it is October and it is wintertime but the cold truly doesn't bother me. It's just a normal Thursday evening for me and tonight is Impact Wrestling otherwise known as TNA. TNA is a smaller wrestling promotion no where near as popular as WWE, which is the company I formally worked for. I was released in April of this year along with some other wrestlers. I tried out in a dark match against Madison Rayne and lost but they still signed me. I know very little about the character I will be portraying. As far as they told me is that my ring name is Winter. I shall say that has an enchanting ring to it, so dark and mysterious yet cold-hearted. Suits me, wouldn't you say? Mr. Russo said that he will tell me more about my character when I talk to him tonight. I wonder if Winter will be a mirror image of Katie Lea Burchill or not. I am quite curious about who I will have a storyline with if they haven't already paired me up with someone already. Making my way backstage, I peeked around to see the knockouts blabbing about their outfits for tonight of whatever pointless nonsense comes to mind. Well I shouldn't exactly say that because I have yet to get know the girls but I really dislike barbies, which is what half the knockouts are. The only ones I am truly familiar with is Mickie James. I had previously worked with her in WWE and she was released before I was. Walking back toward Mr. Russo's office but I noticed that he is not in there. Great, he still hasn't arrived so now I have to wait even longer to find out what I need to know. Well, let's see if anyone has showed up for the show yet. Walking around the arena seemingly empty I noticed on woman that stood out to me, she was down there by the ring talking to Mickie it looked like. Who would Mickie be talking to? Whoever it was has me quite curious. I walked down the stairs to the bottom floor, I observed the woman for a brief moment. Her hair was red and trailed down her backed and curly, she turned and looked in my general direction and I recognized her straight away. I merely smiled and approached, "Such a beautiful day, isn't it ladies?"

They both turned to look at me and it was the redhead that responded first, "Katarina, what are you doing here?" She stood up and hugged me.

"What can I say Maria? I am full of surprises. How have you been?" I asked the younger woman as we released our grip on each other.

"I have been fine. Just trying to figure out what to do next with my life since I got released. I did some music and now I am thinking about getting back into wrestling. That is basically what I was just telling Mickie here. I have been considering going back to WWE but Vince might not let me back and I kind of want to try something new."

"Well Maria, Mickie and I might be able talk to Mr. Russo and see if you can have a dark match for TNA. I am sure, they would sign you in a heartbeat." I tried to convince her. "What do you think, Mickie?" I asked the country girl.

Mickie nodded in agreement, "Totally Maria, it would be nice to have some of the girls here, you know the 'good girls'. Just kidding, a lot of the girls there are good there. Knockouts actually get more screen-time and storylines. We get to have street fights and matches longer than five minutes. It's a miracle! Isn't that right, Katarina?"

The redhead turned over to me, "I didn't know you were a part of TNA."

"I was just recently hired so I haven't debuted just yet. I only know that my ring name is Winter... and.." I trailed off being distracted by voices over on the other side of the massive arena; I recognized the one with the southern accent was Dixie Carter, the president of Total Nonstop Action otherwise known as TNA but the other I had no clue of who it was. They came into view for a brief moment. Dixie is an older woman in her mid forties with light brown hair that trailed half way her back. She was wearing a beautiful, black and white blouse with various patterns on it and black, skinny jeans and cowgirl boots. The other girl was a brunette with long, dark brown hair, maybe mid twenties, just guessing. She looked really young but I swear that I have seen her before but where? This is killing me that I can't remember. The girl was wearing a gray and white hoodie and some blue jeans with some black boots. Dixie pointing to various things on the stage and talking and then they disappeared from my sight and Dixie's voice soon faded away afterwards. What was that about?

"Katarina? You okay?" I heard redhead ask me as they both stared at me confused.

"Yeah. I just zoned out for a second." I turned back toward the pair.

"So Kat, did you hear that they hired another new knockout?" Mickie asked me.

"No but I think I just saw her though. She looks so familiar but I can't put my finger out it."

"You just saw her? Where?" Maria asked becoming curious.

"She was walking with Dixie near the stage and then they disappeared backstage. I am guessing that's the new knockout," I said pointing over to the stage.

"Can you describe her?" The brunette asked.

"She had dark, brown hair about my height maybe taller. That's really all I could get in the short time I saw her. We will meet her soon enough." I stated.

"Doesn't sound familiar; I don't know any brunettes that aren't wrestling." Miss Hardcore Country shrugged her shoulders and turned to Maria. "Hey girl, I am going to go do some cardio, I will catch you later." The two hugged for a second and then she patted my shoulder, "See you around, Kat. Let me know what they decide to do with your character."

"I will don't worry," I spoke as she walked off toward the backstage area where that new knockout went with Dixie. I turned over to the former diva as she was looking at her phone and decided to sit next to her. "So you did music?" I asked trying not to make the conversation awkward between us. Truthfully, I never really got to acquainted with Maria because we are on different brands for the majority of the time. I was at ECW until I got 'banned', it was the match stipulation. Now is a different story, but I wouldn't mind to get to know her a little better.

The green eyes woman looked up at me; she must have thought I left. "Yeah, I only did four songs but it was an experience for sure. The songs are called Fantasy, Alice in Wonderland, Change Your Mind and Seven Sins."

"I like the sound of Seven Sins. I think it quite exciting to hear that you have branched out from wrestling. You seem to be very talented." I never knew this woman was a singer, that's really impressive to say the least. "Are you hungry?" She looked over at me confused. "I was wondering if you would like to go get something to eat with me. Then after that, we should talk to Mr. Russo about maybe getting you a tryout match soon."

"That sounds nice and really?" I only nodded in which she had a big smile form on her face. "Thank you!" She got up and hugged me.

"Let's go get some food, shall we? I am simply starving, my treat." I said linking my arm to hers as we made our way up toward the stands so we could exit this massive building. "I never thought I would be able to see you again. It seems fate has a funny way working, doesn't it?" I laughed as she let out a giggle.

"I suppose so, Katarina. The universe puts us on the paths that we need to go. This one lead me to you and a possibility of working in wrestling once again." Said the redhead as I held the door open for her. "Thanks." She looked over to me once again. "Aren't you cold?"

I noticed her shivering and I just put my jacket around around her and replied, "Not at all, I love the cold but I will keep you warm. Let's go into cafe and get some coffee that will warm you up for sure." I pressed the button on the sign and we patiently waited for stick figure to appear on the sign across the walkway. Once the figure appeared, we quickly made our way across the busy intersection and into the cafe that was at the corner. The redhead lead me toward a table in the corner of the place right beside the window. "What else has you been up to here recently?" I asked her as we took our seats.

The redhead merely sighed, "Nothing other than what I told you."

"What? What about relationships or just seeing your family?"

The redhead gave me an awkward look and answered, "I have went on a few dates but they weren't exactly my type. I visit my family all the time like my little sister. What about you Kat?"

"I never go out looking for the person I am destined to be with; fate will bring us together one way or another, I suppose. Patience is truly the key with love and one day, you will meet the person that is meant to be your other half.." She weakly smiled as I placed my hand over the top of hers. Fate brought this woman to me; I can feel the bond between the two of us. The universe destined for us to cross paths because it was meant to be. It is the truth. I will make you mine, Maria. One way or another and no one is going to stop me. "Let's get us something to drink now." All I need is time and the universe to be on my side.

Author's Note: Katarina Waters is new to the TNA roster and has a friend in by the name of Mickie James who also 'Jumped Ship' as well. That means they went from one wrestling company to a rival company. Before a taping of Impact, the new knockout saw Mickie talking to a very familiar redhead. The redhead is former WWE diva, Maria. After being distracted by Dixie and a mysterious woman, Katarina talks to the redhead and they go to hangout and Katarina starts talking about fate, destiny and the universe. Weird talk.. Anyways, next chapter we find out who the obvious mystery knockout is going to be and who she will be teaming up with and all that jazz..
