Chapter 37 New ring leader

It didn't take long for Raven to settle in, she still refused to follow the script and even though it pissed the boss off he couldn't argue with ratings, at least her grandfather couldn't. When Vince saw the ratings increase since Raven saying pretty much anything he wasn't about to stop her much to the GM's annoynce. He didn't care who her family was, she needed to be taught repsect and lots of it. Raven made her way to the Divas locker room in need of getting out of her shoes. She loved her boots but bare foot was always best. Always. When she got in several of them greeted her nicely, except the three sluts. Maryse, Michelle McCool and Layla. For some reason they had taken an instant disliking to Raven, not that mattered to her. So she was hated? It had happened before.

"Hey ladies" Raven slipped her boots off and crammed them in her locker. Taking a seat on the bench they all peered at her. "What do I have chunks of carrot in my teeth, I should have that taken care of apparently it can lead to insanity"

Beth took a breath before looking to her friend, "Raven we were wondering if you would like to be our representive"

"For what?" Raven asked pulling out her Ipod, she couldn't get enough of Theory of a deadman and Hollywood Undead. She couldn't remember how she got onto them but she was thankful.

"Well once a month represenitives from all areas of the company have a meeting to discuss certain issues, its basically about the back stage stuff and not the show" Beth explained "Usually I go but we've all agreed that you would be better"

"Because why?"

They all looked at each other, Beth spoke up again "Because in the time I have been here no one has taken us seriously, when they have its usually taken months, in the short time you've been here, its been proven you get results"

Raven saw it in their eyes and in a way she was touched, in OVW Beth was the ring leader but suddenly somehow that had changed to her. Her father had always said that Raven was a good leader but a bad follower. Raven always tried to march to the beat of her own drum, she knew that was the very reason she and John got along so well, he was doing his own marching to his own drum.

"Ok I'll be your representive" Raven shrugged "Make a list of things you want and I'll see what I can do"

"Well we want you to leave" Michelle smiled falsely at her.

"Sorry but unlike you I actually worked my way here so I'll be stayin"

"Whats that meant to mean?" Michelle spit drawing herself up to full height, Raven at this point barely touched the woman's really fake tits.

"Exactly how it sounded Michelle" Raven eyed the blonde evily.

"Hey girls"

They all looked to a reletively new Diva in her own right, the huge Kharma. She had been told of the switch of ring leaders, the big woman didn't care as long as it wasn't that bimbo Michelle. In her arms was a small baby, no one expected Raven to coo at it.

"Aw he's soooo cute" Raven stroked his little fingers "Whats his name Kharma?"

"Jamie"

All the girls crowded around her to admire the new born, Raven suddenly became suffocated, slowly the air crushing from her lungs. She bolted out the door in need of fresh air. For the first time that day (shockingly) she knocked into John. Her body melted into his.

"You ok?"

Raven shook her head, no matter how "fixed" you appear to be you couldn't stop the sad memories from playing like a movie. "I just saw a baby and all the stuff came floodin back"

John hugged her tight, "Its ok Rae."

"No its not John, I thought I was fixed" Raven looked at him sadly. The only thing she feared now was going back, she never wanted to go back she was so happy now.

He took her face in his hands and made those silver pools bore into his, "Raven you're allowed to feel sadness, your human. Sadness is ok."

"What if I go back?"

"You won't because I won't let it happen. I made you a promise remember? I will keep you safe"

Raven smiled at him, something different in his eyes but she couldn't dechiper what. "Thanks John. What would I do without you?"

"You will never be without me Raven. Not as long as I'm breathing"
