Divas Prison Ch6
The pain hadn't gone away , Paige was sore all over. She had taken a pretty nasty beating. A big purple bruise had appeared on her face and her midsection felt like she'd been hit by a car. Sasha, a young woman who calls herself 'The Boss' and one of her crew had pulled her aside and taken her down because she felt like Paige wasn't showing respect. Sasha had delusions of grandeur and was looking to be the no 1 inmate on their block, or possibly the whole prison. Paige had found out that Sasha was doing 40 years to life for murder and conspiracy to commit murder. It wasn't hard to find out as Sasha seemed to treat it as a badge of honour, saying that she's got away with many other crimes like she's some kind of master criminal from a movie. Paige didn't understand that, she was truly ashamed of what she did. Sasha knew that she was unlikely to ever get out of prison, so had set about getting on top like she was outside, with people doing her bidding and everyone afraid to cross her.
"So how you doing today?" Becky asked after they'd both woken up. "Not great" Paige said, "it all still hurts pretty bad". She put her hand to the bruise and flinched at the slight touch.
"So what happened? What did those two do to you?"
Paige took a breath and did her best to recall everything. "They just suddenly pulled me round a corner, having a go about refusing to give her my cake and saying I need to understand who she is. One of the, held my by the throat while the other kicked me down. I got up and tried to stand up to her, but that's how I got this" pointing to the bruise on her face. "Then they just kept kicking."
Becky hated hearing that. She'd been elsewhere while all this was going on and felt guilty. "How could they do that? In fact, how did they do that, where were the guards while this was all going on?"
"I have no idea, it went on for ages, a guard only came when they were getting us back to cells for the night, but all he did was get me back here."
"That's strange, they normally have eyes everywhere, fights don't have a chance to get started usually before they break them up. Which guard came to you?"
"That African-American one with the huge chest and muscles, he basically carried me back here under one arm."
"This is worrying, he may have been under Sashas control, she's paid him off, or offered him a...favour...to turn his head to what she wanted to do. If she's got guards on her side, she could make waves around here."
"She did say that Lita was,going to be old news and she'd be in charge soon."
"She's been saying that forever, she's been all talk, but now she's actually making moves. I think Lita would want to hear this."
Paige would have laughed at that, but it hurt to laugh. "She's not going to be interested in anything I've got to say. Her goons won't let me near her."
"She'll want to hear this. If Sasha is going to try something, she needs to know." Becky said, Lita had always been fair to her and she didn't want to jeopardise that.
Paige agreed. She wasn't Litas biggest fan after getting blown off but would do the idea of Sasha on top instead was much worse.
They waited for their time out in the yard again. Lita was at the corner table with the same group just as she always was. This time Becky came along to support and help if she needed to. Unsurprisingly, her two guards were quickly coming up to them and blocking the way.
"Do we really have to tell you again to get outta here?" "Well from the look of her, she doesn't hear too good" the two joked with each other, pointing at Paige's bruises.
"Lita doesn't have time for you, leave now or we can give you a matching bruise for the other eye."
Becky took a step forward, having to look up to both of them "Look, what happened to her is the work of Sasha Banks, Litas going to want to hear about it. You need to let her through. I think Sasha is trying to make a move."
Lita still hadn't given them too much attention, but the blonde with her suddenly looked up at them. She hadn't liked what she heard. Lita reacted to her, "Let them through." She called. Victoria and Chyna looked at each other in annoyance but let them pass. Paige and Becky walked over to the table and stood there.
"So I know you wanted a chance to meet me, but I think you've taken it too far." Lita said. "That's quite the war wound you're sporting." She gestured for the two of them or sit down, and they did.
"So you clearly know who I am. Who's the new kid on my block?"
"Well my name is Paige, Paige Knight."
"And why are you here?"
"I got sent here for ten years for armed robbery, I pulled a...
Lita held up her hand to stop her "No, not your crime, we all got put here for a reason. I meant why have you been so keen to see me?"
"Oh, well Becky, my cellmate. She told me that you are someone who deserves respect, that's all I wanted the first time but now I may have something you need to hear."
The blonde then spoke up "I heard you mention Banks. What's that two dollar hooker done now?"
"Chill out" Lita said to her, "Trish is my best friend, she's been loyal to me for years. Sasha Banks wants to take my place around here and she doesn't like it."
"Well can you blame me? She calls herself 'The Boss' like she's a big deal. She may have been before, but not in here. You run the place, not her." Trish then looked at Paige. "So she did that to you?"
Paige nodded "Yeah, her and Naomi pulled me aside, knocked me to the floor and kicked me while I was down." Becky knew Paige didn't like talking about it so carried on. "The point is that the guards disappeared while this was going on. They came straight back after they left her. That's the part that bothered me. I think Sasha may have one of the guards in her pocket. Maybe she paid him off or offered him, well, you know what she'd offer him."
Lita smirked at the comment, but Trish didn't seem as impressed. "You could be right. The timing is too convenient for her. Trish, put the word out to those we can trust. If anyone knows or has any idea then I need to know." Trish gave a nod of understanding.
Lita looked back to Paige. "I thank you for coming to tell me this, I appreciate the information and it's good to know you've picked the right side in this, regardless of how it happened. Both your loyalties will be remembered. But I hope you realise that I can't get directly involved in whatever issue exists between her and you. That's your fight." Paige was disappointed to hear that. She would have gladly accepted any help to get Sasha off her back. "Now you better go. But if you have anything else come back, Chyna and Victoria won't stop you anymore unless I'm with someone else, I'll make sure of it.".
The two of them thanked Lita and made their exit, leaving her and the other three deep in discussion. It had felt good to be taken seriously this time. Paige hoped that Lita would be able to do something about Sasha sooner rather than later.
As they came back inside, one of the guards shouted "Lynch, visitor!" Becky jumped up and headed to the guard desk to be escorted to the visitation area which was located outside of the cell block. Paige was happy to see her friend so excited but knew now was the time she had to be on guard, Sasha was most likely to try something if there were less people to stop her. She joined Emma and her cell mate, Natalya, at a table. They played cards for a little while before Paige excused herself to get some water. Emma warned her to be careful. Paige walked across the block checking for guards being around then, as soon as they were there, they weren't. Paige realised what was going on and turned to head back to Emma and Natalya. As soon as she turned the other way, she found herself face to face with Naomi.
"You really must be either brave or stupid." Naomi said, her face right in Paige's. "I think she's just stupid." Came Sashas voice from behind her, now walking circles around the two women. "I told you that this block I belongs to me, and you go running to that old dog that I'm going to put down soon, Lita. You've disappointed me again, and so you have to be punished one more." Paige knew what that meant and pushed Naomi away. Naomi came back with a solid right hand that spun Paige around and down on for face at Sashas feet. Sasha just laughed at her, put the sole of her shoe in Paiges face and pushed her over again. Sasha was letting her minion do her work for her, not getting overly physical herself like last time. Naomi picked Paige up and slammed her into the wall. She went for her face again but Paige was able to move and Naomi punched the wall. Paige took her opportunity and tackled Naomi to the ground, climbed on top of her and started throwing as many punches as she could into her face. Sasha realised that her girl was in trouble and Paige actually could fight a bit. She had pegged her as a coward, scared of being in prison and could be manipulated to help achieve her goals. Paige would have agreed with that, when she first arrived she was terrified but was lucky to have made a friend in Becky and gaining Lita's acceptance had given her some confidence. Naomi wasn't able to get Paige off of her so Sasha was forced to take action, she took a metal bar from the leg of her uniform and struck Paige around the head with it.
Paige had no idea what Sasha was doing, all of her focus was on Naomi and taking out the anger she had on her. Suddenly everything just went black. Paige fell off of Naomi and wasn't moving. Naomi got up and gave Paige a couple of kicks before they realised she wasn't moving and blood was coming from her head. "Oh my god, Boss, we gotta go, now!" And the two of them left in a hurry. Sasha was scared for the first time now, if they had killed her, she would be finished. They couldn't ignore it and if it was pinned on her, she'd go to solitary for life or even to death row. At least she'd lose her standing and Lita, Becky and others would be after her head.
As soon as Sasha left the area, guards came back around. One spotted Paige, ran over and began calling for help. Another two came running across, one began first aid while the other got on the radio.
"Attention control, attention control, this is Guard Rollins on A block, we have an inmate down, unconscious with blood loss. Requesting medics to A block immediately, medical wing prepared and on standby. Inform Head Guard and Warden. Over."
The radio was quick to respond. "Attention Rollins, this is control. Medical team on route to A block, ready to remove inmate to medical. Head Guard informed, Warden off site."
"Received control."
'Sting' arrived right after this, "What the hell happened?"
"Uncertain sir, she took a bad hit to the head, we've controlled the bleeding and medical is on the way."
"Uncertain? That's not acceptable, you don't know who did this?"
"No sir"
"Right, all of you, Rollins, Langston, Phoenix. Back to your stations. I expect a full report from each of you tomorrow."
The medics came in at this point. The guards left but Sting stayed. The medics placed Paige on a gurney and took her for urgent care.
A/N: Well this has gotten out of hand. Paige is on her way to medical now. What will Becky and Lita think of this? What did you think of the three guards? Are any of them working for Sasha? More than one? Or maybe someone else?
