Chapter 2
-Mandy's POV
I walked back the hallway to the locker room I shared with my sister and one of my good friends, Torrie Wilson, all while clutching the little girl's hand. Leading her through the labyrinth of twists and turns, we passed several other locker rooms along the way. Just as we were about to pass, one of the doors flew open and a group of three men came walking out obviously making their way to the ring. Danny squealed and clenched onto my leg. Again I kneeled down to her level.
"What's wrong Danny?" I asked looking into her fright filled eyes.
"Don't let him hurt me!" She whispered as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I stood up and shifted her around so that she was resting on the right side of my hip.
"You are afraid of him?" I asked pointing to one of my good friends, Brock Lesnar. She nodded and buried her face into my neck. I laughed a little to myself thinking of such a possibility. Brock was one of the nicest guys I had ever met before. I smiled at her and replied, "Yeah, he does look a little scary doesn't he? But ya know what? He's really just a big teddy bear!" She gave me an uneasy smile but again hid her face when Brock approached us.
"Hey Mandy! How are you doing?" He asked with a smile.
"I'm fine. How are you?" I answered giving him a friendly pat on the arm.
"I'm just getting ready for my match against Kurt in a few minutes. So who's your friend? Another sister perhaps?" Brock pointed at the little blond who was doing anything not to make eye contact with the huge wrestler.
"No actually, her name is Danny Copeland," I stated as Brock's eyes widened, "she is lost and I am trying to help her find her daddy. Any idea where he might be?" I asked. Brock shrugged.
"Actually I think he's in the ring right now. His match just started a few minutes ago. Did you know about..." Brock started, again pointing to the tiny girl in my arms. I shook my head no and he scratched his head. "Wow, just when you think you really know somebody. Well I better get going. I need to warm up. I'll talk to you later Dee. Bye Danny, I hope to see you again sometime." He waved and walked down the hallway.
"See, he's just a big old teddy bear!" I said to Danny as she looked to make sure he was gone. "Not so scary now, is he?" I asked. She smiled at me and her eyes lit up.
"Mandy, is he your boyfriend?" she asked with a giggle. I smiled and continued to walk down the hallway towards my room.
"No sweetheart." I replied as I opened the door. "Why? You think he's cute?" I asked her. Again she giggled.
"Promise not to tell anybody?" she questioned. I nodded my head. "He is really pretty!" she whispered into my ear. I smiled to myself as I entered the locker room.
