Jeff cursed himself for not checking in on Rhiannon the night before. He should have known something would happen between the sisters...and after what Matt had described to him, it sounded like whatever it was, was pretty significant. He was now searching the halls of the Gund Arena for her, worried that she might not even turn up after the disastrous meeting yesterday.

"Rhiannon!" He called with relief as he saw the strawberry blonde walking ahead of him. As he caught up to Rhian, she turned slightly to greet him.

"I'm running late Jeff. I have a meeting with Brian Gerwitz about what to do with my character." She told him bluntly.

"Are you okay? Matt told me about the argument you had with Imogen last night."

"I'm a big girl Jeff, I can take care of myself."

"Well, apparently Imogen isn't taking it as well as you are. She hasn't said a word to anybody since she saw you, according to Matt." Rhiannon sighed impatiently and picked up speed.

"Typical Imogen. Always a drama queen." As Rhiannon flicked her hair out of her face, Jeff got a fleeting glance at her right cheek.

"Rhian!" He grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her to face him. Her eyes were slightly bloodshot and puffy. "What the hell happened?"

"Obviously Matt didn't tell you everything." She replied dryly, looking down at the ground. "Imogen hit me, but I did goad her into it, I guess." Jeff lifted her face up to get a better view and almost cursed out loud when he saw the damage Imogen had done.

"I'm guessing it was a back-hander." He said dryly, taking note of the deep scratches on her cheek.

"Yeah, well you've seen all the rings she wears." Rhiannon chuckled as she started walking again. "But, like I said, I did push her to it."

"What the hell did you say to Imogen to make her react like that Rhian?" Jeff asked in amazement and Rhiannon's expression went blank.

"What she didn't want to hear. The truth." She replied coldly, obviously not wanting to answer the question, but Jeff wasn't about to give up.

"The truth? Which is?"

"Not your business." Rhian told Jeff, a tiny smile gracing her lips. "I'm dealing with it. Don't worry. Now, I really have to get to this meeting."

"What did you mean when you said you still had the scars?" He asked bluntly, at least wanting an answer to that. She paused slightly, her brow creasing in confusion. "Matt told me what you said to Imogen. "The scars never went away..." What scars Rhiannon?"

A fleeting expression of panic crossed Rhiannon's face, which only served to make Jeff more concerned and curious about what had happened to her in the past. But despite the curiosity he felt, Jeff was still afraid of the answers he might get.

"Oh. Well, look where we've ended up." Rhiannon stopped outside an unmarked office door with an air of obvious relief as she reached out to knock. "I'll catch you later sweetie!" Rhiannon shot Jeff a cheeky grin, as she was permitted entry into the office.

Jeff could only shake his head in annoyance as Rhian disappeared. "I really hope you know what you're doing, Sis." Jeff muttered to himself as he walked away.


Brian Gerwitz greeted Rhiannon eagerly, almost excitedly, she noted warily as he led her to a seat opposite his in the small locker-room cum office.

"Now, Rhiannon, Shane Helms has told us that you'd be willing to work with him, which is fantastic. I have a few ideas to run through with you, but there's something..." Brian's voice trailed off as he noticed the bruises on her cheek and his eyes narrowed. "What the hell happened to your face?" A wry smile crossed Rhiannon's features as she lifted a hand to her cheek.

"I got carried away during practice." She gave him her rehearsed answer and shrugged her shoulders carelessly and flicked her strawberry blonde hair out of her eyes. "It was an accident." Brian was slightly unsatisfied with the answer and had his suspicions about where the bruises had really come from. But now was not the time to get into it...He would tell Vince about it later so he could get someone to deal with the problem.

"Okay. So, your character. We were looking through some of your old tapes and came across something of interest." Rhiannon closed her eyes and stifled a groan. How could she have not seen this coming?

"We think that your best character so far has been The Sadist. We'd like you to reprise that role, but with a bit of a twist." Rhiannon straightened slightly, suddenly interested in what Brian was proposing.

"What kind of twist are you talking about?"

"Well, rather than having your character cruel and...unmerciful for no reason, we decided to give Gypsy a reason..."

"Gypsy?" Rhiannon exclaimed looking at Brian like he'd just grown two heads.

"Yeah, we were thinking that could be your character's name. Do you like it?"

"Uh, sure...it's not hideous, I guess." She blinked, looking a bit stunned and Brian took a deep breath.

"Rhian, I know that this seems to be moving a bit fast, but we need you in the ring as soon as possible. Can you handle that?"

"Of course. The name is just going to take a bit of getting used to is all." Rhian replied with a frown, feeling slightly disoriented from all the sudden ideas being thrown at her.

"Good. Now, motive, right? We're going to bring you in as Imogen's sister...I know, not really original, but we need to connect you two for this to work. Now, someone's going to start targeting her to get to you soon after you arrive. We haven't created a history for that yet, but we're working on it."

Rhiannon was struggling to keep up with all this information and sat forward slightly as Brian continued to explain the angle he was proposing.

"Shane "Hurricane" Helms will come in as a sort of unofficial bodyguard, popping up wherever there's danger, blah, blah, blah. One day he'll fail and you will find Imogen seriously injured somewhere which in turn, will bring out the Sadist. That way, we have the excuse we need to make you a complete psycho bitch and send Imogen back to OVW for some extra conditioning at the same time." Rhiannon almost fell out of her chair in horror as that little piece of information sunk in.

"WHAT? You're going to use me as an excuse to send my sister, who hates my guts, back to OVW? Are you all insane?" The words had flown right out of Rhiannon's mouth before she could stop them and she clamped her teeth down on her lower lip, cursing herself for her stupidity.

Rhiannon had promised herself before she'd started in the WWE that she wouldn't let this shit interfere in her professional life. Yet here she was, blurting out something like that to one of the top writers in the company. She could have hit herself.

"Look, the fact that you and Imogen have not been getting along very well is no secret. Imogen's been trying to spread rumours about your work ethic since you began, but fortunately Jeff and Shannon Moore have been working hard to nip that in the bud." Rhiannon was shocked and slightly angry that Jeff had kept this from her, but kept quiet as Brian continued. "Anyway, you've proven yourself to be a fantastic worker time and time again, and that has shown people that Imogen is spreading these rumours because she feels threatened by you. So, it's backfired on her and she has to deal with the consequences. Don't stress about it."

"Why wasn't I told about this?" She asked, looking distressed and sounding slightly hurt. Brian just smiled gently, sensing that what she needed right now was some reassurance about her position in the company. They wanted a real woman wrestler right now, and he believed that this woman could be the next big thing. There was nothing fake about Rhiannon; She was naturally beautiful and could be tough when the situation called for it. He felt that a lot of women would relate to her. The men on the other hand might need a bit of convincing, but once they "sexed-up" her image a bit, he knew that they would definitely be won over.

"You didn't need to know about all of that. It would have distracted you. Now, let's just concentrate on this, shall we?" Brian looked back down at the piece of paper that lay in front of him. "Just remember that we're not sure how we're going to work this part of it just yet, but the person - or people - that you're going to feud with will eventually turn you to their side. We're really looking forward to creating this angle, it's going to be a challenge, but if it works out...trust me, it'll be explosive." He smiled, obviously excited about the new project. "So, would you like to know who you're going to be feuding with?"

Rhiannon nodded, interested to know who the hell besides Shane would actually agree to work with her. "I've spoken to the group, well, actually...one of the guys in the group spoke to me about you first, he's very impressed by your work ethic and talent in the ring." Rhiannon raised an eyebrow in anticipation, silently willing him to continue. "So...to put you out of your misery, we've decided to place you with Evolution."


I hope this seems even slightly believable, even though Evolution and women prolly don't mix too well in a working sense, I just couldn't think of anything else to do with Rhian at the time. I haven't been keeping up with storylines as much as I used to. LOL.

In any case, I'll try to make it as readable as possible.

Thanks to Phoenix Satori for the review! It's always nice to get feedback from you (and anyone else out there who may be reading this! hint hint LOL).

Take care all!
