AN: Alright, let me explain something before the next chapter begins. This part will take place right before Slammiversary 2013, a little over a month to be precise. I have no idea what matches are going to take place then, so I am just going to throw out the title match that Roode has with AJ Styles. Also, TNA will soon find out who ran down Michael Harris shortly before Slammiversary 2012. Thank you, and enjoy.

Chapter Seven: Slammiversary 2013

Michael's eyes was watching the screen intensely. At the beginning of the show, Dixie Carter told the fans of Impact Wrestling that she knew who ran him over last year. Michael knew himself, and now he had to watch as Dixie was going to tell the world who did the heinious attack on him last year. Dixie and Steve (Sting's real first name) told him to watch the show. Michael again knew who ran him over, and Dixie knew that he knew who ran him over. The only reason that Michael was watching this was to see the reaction of the crowd, and the reactions of the people that knew him best.

Dixie was in the ring, and to no one surprise at all, Bobby Roode and Madison Rayne came out and interupted Dixie as she was about to speak.

Once Roode and Madison Rayne were done saying their piece, they were making as if they were going to leave, but Dixie stopped them. Then she said what everyone did not know in this instance.

"You two are the ones that ran him down." Dixie said, earning gasps of disbelief from everyone. Roode snatched the mic from her, and smiled.

"Yeah, I did it." Roode admitted. "Me and Madison ran him down like a dog in the street. I did it for two reasons. One, I wanted him out of the way because I knew that he was gonna make a play for the title, and also because I wanted to buy Mickie James' contract from Bischoff. He gave me the contract right after I did the work. Once I beat AJ Styles at Slammiversary, there will be no one left that can stand a chance against me."

With those chilling words, Roode and Rayne left the ring to loud boos and jeers alike.


Mickie just stared at the screen as she was backstage. She had disbelief, shock, and anger all on her face. It made sense now. Michael was ran down because Roode wanted her. Bischoff planned the entire thing, and gave her to Roode as payment.

She hated him. She fucking hated him now. She had to get back and talk to Michael, but not before running into Roode and Rayne.

"Great, now what do you two want?" Mickie asked in an irritable tone.

"For one, at Slammiversary, you are gonna accompany us to the ring to face AJ." Roode demanded, and then out of nowhere, he punched her, knocking her to the ground.

"Second, if you ever talk to me like that again, I will make sure that 'boyfriend' of yours is right beside his piece of shit sister. Got it?" Roode all but screamed at her.

"Y-yeah." Mickie said, rubbing her face.

"I do not think that you do." Roode said in a sinster tone. He motioned for Madison to leave, and when she shut the door, Roode advanced on her.

"What are you doing?" Mickie asked, fear rising in her voice.

"Teaching you a lesson." Roode said in an ice cold voice.


It was late at night when Michael heard Mickie come home. For some strange reason, her coming home this time felt different. She did what she always did, drop her stuff at the door, and walk into their bedroom. She stripped to her underwear, but this time, before she could get into the bed, Michael flipped on the lights, and saw her face. She had a black eye, and a cut bottom lip. Her face was slightly bruised, as if it was healing.

"Mickie, what happened to you?" Michael said, voice sounding concerned.

"Roode...did this to me..." Mickie said. "Bischoff made me his property, and if I don't do what he says, he'll fire me."

"Mickie." Michael said. Mickie did not want to talk about it any further, even after Michael all but begged her to do so. Mickie just slept there, cuddled against him, and crying in her sleep.

Michael was determined. Something had to be done about this. He decided that he was going to pay TNA Champion Bobby Roode a little visit when he least expected it...


SLAMMIVERSARY 2013

Mickie sat in Roode's locker room, feeling really nervous. One, for some reason she has not been able to get a hold of Michael for some strange reason. Two, now was the time that she had to follow Roode out to the ring, and basically help him win against AJ Styles. Michael and AJ were really good friends, and now he was in the spot that Michael should be in.

Roode walked over to her, and smiled. "Ready to go?"

"Yes, sir." Mickie said, obidiently. She walked over to the door, and opened it. Roode walked right past her, and she followed him and Madison Rayne obidently. She felt like a slave or battered woman who got beat whenever she did something wrong, and she hoped that Roode was going to get her comuppance sooner, rather than later.

Little did she know that something big was going to happen...


The match between AJ and Roode was pretty much back and forth, both men too proud to give the other an inch. Mickie watched at ringside along with Madison Rayne as Roode got the upper hand on AJ Styles. Then, out of nowhere, AJ hit the pele, but only got a two count. Roode then got back on AJ, putting him down with a DDT, getting a two count from that as well.

It was obvious that Roode was getting impatient, and it showed. Roode got the TNA Title as Rayne had the ref distracted. Mickie grabbed her, causing her to fall from the apron. Mickie quickly looked to the ring, and saw Roode in the ring, glaring at her. He was too busy to notice, but then AJ rolled him up, only to get a two count from that. Roode, got really pissed off, and hit AJ with the title, getting himself disqualified. Roode did not care, but he just kept on attacking AJ. Mickie tried to leave, but Bully Ray and Bischoff stopped her from doing so. Bully Ray threw her into the ring, and she backed away from him, only to run into Roode. She turned, and jumped back, only to be caught and held by Bully Ray.

"You little bitch! Now you are gonna pay for everything that you caused to go wrong!" Roode screamed at her. Bully Ray and Bischoff cheered him on, and Roode grabbed a steel chair that Roode slid into the ring. Mickie was struggling, trying to get out of Bully Ray's grip, but it was no use.

If anybody can hear me, please help me... Mickie silently prayed. Roode reared back, chair in hand, and was about to hit Mickie. Mickie closed her eyes, and braced for the hit...


AN: Just a quick note, I had this written before Destination X 2012. In the rest of the story, Roode is still going to be TNA Champion until written otherwise. I have decided that a certain person's return will be in the next chapter. Sorry about that. Thanks to all of those who have read and reviewed the story and be sure to check out the next part!
