Divas Prison Ch8
Becky was a little annoyed at Paige for what she said last night. She told Becky she had an idea after she got out of hospital a few days after getting beaten down by two other prisoners who felt she had wronged them. But because the lights went out, Paige decided not to divulge the details. Becky felt almost like she was being teased, she wanted to know.
So as soon as the lights went on. "Come on then, what are you thinking?"
"Geez, good morning to you too." Paige said sleepily.
"Don't do that, you've got to tell me, tell me now."
Ok, but don't get mad, I'm thinking that I'm going to spend my entire sentence in and out of the hospital if I let things stay the way they are. Unless... I do something about it."
Becky was now starting to wish she hadn't asked in the first place. "Whoa, hold on there. What do you mean, do something about it."
I mean I've got to find a way to get Sasha off my back for good, and while Naomi isn't here it's my best, maybe my only chance." Becky turned Paige towards her and looked her in the eye. "Are you sure that this is what you want? You know if you kill her you'll be in for life right?"
Paiges eyes widened. "Who said anything about killing? Becky, I'm not a murderer, I don't have it in me to take a life, any life." Becky was relieved to hear it, she was wondering who this person was, it didn't seem like the woman she'd shared her life with for so many weeks now.
"So, if not that, what is it you've got in mind."
"Well I need to see Lita and clear it all first, come with me after breakfast?"
Becky nodded reluctantly, knowing that this must be quite serious if it's got to go all the way to Lita.
Breakfast came and went, and Paige and Becky went to Litas table in the common area. As it was outside, she always could be found in the corner, as far from anyone, particularly the guards could be found. "Can we talk, privately?" Paige asked. Chyna and Victoria looked to Lita to be given a nod and the two of them left the table, not going to far to make sure that Lita got the privacy she wanted. "So how you doing? You don't look too bad for someone who got carted off to hospital last week."
"I'm ok, head aches from time to time but that's all. Actually that's why I wanted to talk with you. I can't let this carry on anymore, I need to do something about it. I need to do something about Sasha Banks."
Lita raised an eyebrow. "Whoa there, are you sure you know what you're doing? Nobody has a bigger problem with her than me, and I might make her sound like the scum she is, but she's tough, and he has absolutely no morals. If you do this it needs to be good."
"I think it is. She's going around here acting like she's something special, like she's not just another prisoner. So what I want to do is make her look weak."
"And how do you plan to do that?"
"Simple, I take her in a fight."
Becky went wide eyed at this. "Are you joking with us? This woman brags about the number of people she's killed. She nearly killed you last time you were near her, and you want to fight her?"
"I've got to." Paige replied. "Otherwise this will just keep going. She's got no backup at the moment, it's my best chance. But I'm going to do it right. And that is where you come in." She said, looking at Lita.
"How exactly do I fit in to your plan to get yourself killed exactly?"
"I need you to make sure that we are able to do this. We need to settle it, and that means we can't have the guards breaking it up 10 seconds in like they do every time. Well, every time I'm not the one getting attacked anyway."
"How exactly do you expect me to do that?"
I don't know, but if anyone can, you can, I thought you must have some connections that can help with this."
Lita smiled, enjoying the show of respect. "I'll see what I can do, I'm sure money can talk, but I don't control everyone around here. You know Banks has someone in pocket."
"All part of it, she can help make sure that it happens by playing whatever cards she thinks she has as well."
Becky spoke up again "so you get her to help make sure it happens. But why would she go for it at all? Why would she fight you with her backup in the lock?"
"I'm going to offer her what she's wanted the whole time."
"What's that?"
"Me."
Becky wasn't liking this. "What do you mean 'me'?"
"The only reason all of this started was she was trying to make me one of her bitches like Naomi. She might have succeeded if it wasn't for you Becky, I was scared and was going to comply before you stood up for me. If she beats me, I'll join her, work for her, whatever."
"You realise what you're risking." Lita said. "If you with her, you're against me."
"And me" Becky looked at Paige in fear. "If you're with her, we can't be friends. We will share a cell, but that's it. I hate her, and all who side with her. Think about this."
Becky got up and went straight back to her cell. She didn't want Paige or Lita to see how upset she was. She really felt that she had made a friend in Paige and couldn't stand the idea of what would happen if Sasha got to her.
"I'm going to ask you one more time, are you absolutely sure that you want to do this?" Lita asked, as serious as she'd ever been with Paige.
"I don't want to do this, I have to do this. I have to get her off my back, one way or another. It has to end."
Lita nodded her acceptance. "I can respect that. I'll make sure you get the chance. The guards can't resist a bet so that'll get you your chance without interruption. You just make sure you take her down, or you'll answer to me, in more ways than one." Paige held her breath at that, not wanting to cross Lita. She took that opportunity to get up and went to check on Becky, having noticed the way she left the table. She found her in their cell, hands on her face. Paige took her hands down and saw tears. "What's wrong?" Becky suddenly got angry. She pushed Paige against the wall of the cell. "What's wrong? Are you that stupid? Actually, I know you are or you wouldn't be doing this. You realise if you go through with it, she's not going to stop. One of you probably won't walk away and I don't want it to be you. I haven't told you, but you're the best friend I've ever had in this god forsaken hell hole, and I've only known you a short time. You're just like me, locked up for a bad choice, you're not like some of them, the killers, the drug dealers, the ones who should be here and never let out. You've helped make this place bearable by being you, even when you were a scared noob. And now you're throwing it all away?"
Her shouting had attracted attention and a guard came to the cell. "What's going on? You going to calm down or is one of you going to the lock?"
Paige took Becky and sat her down on the lower bunk. "No problem here."
"Keep it that way, I don't want to hear another sound or you can both go." He walked away. Paige turned back to Becky, talking quieter. "I wouldn't have gotten through those first few days here if not for you, I see you as my best friend too, and I don't just mean in here, you've been there for me more than anyone on the outside for a long time, and I won't ever forget it. But I have to do this. I don't intend to end up on the raw end of the deal. I'm going to walk away, and I'm getting her off my case. If I'm going to do that, I need you. I need you to have my back, like you always have, and I need you to understand. Please."
Becky stood up and looked Paige in the eye. "I'm not sure I understand, but I've got your back, always." The two of them hugged and their fight was over.
They waited to see Sasha until they were out in the yard, in case it got a bit more heated that any conversation with Lita would have done. She was always calm and collected, while Sasha had shown how she was fast and loose. She was actually proving harder to find than usual. They eventually tracked her down to a corner of the yard, talking to someone. As they got closer they saw it was Trish, Lita's cellmate. As they got closer, Trish put her finger in Sasha's face and then walked away. Paige and Becky never got close enough to hear what they were saying. Sasha turned around and took a step back when she saw the two of them. "Damn, first her, now you. What do you want? Going for a two on one of your own?" Becky liked that idea and took a step forward but Paige put a hand on her shoulder to stop her. "Not exactly. Look, I want you to leave me alone but you keep fighting me. So let's do it properly. You and me, one on one. I beat you and you stay out of my face." Sasha grinned "You're crazy, I'll send you back to the hospital without breaking a nail, but what's in it for me?
"I knew you'd want something. And I'll give it to you. You win, and you get me, I'll be your worker, your lackey, whatever you want me to be for as long as you want.
Sasha laughed. "Oh my girl, you'll regret that one, you'll be my slave, you'll do everything I tell you no matter what it is, what it involves or what the consequences are for you. Deal?"
Paige felt her first twinge of doubt, wondering what the consequences of Sashas demands could be. Could involve more fights, more shady work, maybe a stay in solitary or two, or maybe worse. But there was no going back now. "Deal."
"So when do you want to devote yourself to me?"
It'll take a few days to make arrangements so we won't get disturbed. Maybe you can help with that?"
"Maybe I can, with Naomi in the lock, I need help sooner rather than later. Say, three days from now, out here?"
"Make it two, I've had more than enough of you over the last few months to last me my whole life."
"Fine, if you're in such a rush to be my bitch, why stop you. Your whole life is going to be mine."
Sasha walked off smiling, oozing with confidence. "Wow, you had better win this." Becky said to Paige.
"I know" was the only response. "Come on, I need to start getting ready."
A/N: This chapter comes live from my hospital bed! So the fight is on between Paige and Sasha, which will come in the next chapter. My first attempt at a fight scene.
Very disappointed in Survivor Series, both results and as a show. Now I know I'm a big Paige fan, but whoever thought making her tap to Charlotte was a good plan needs to be fired at once. At least it looks like things are continuing between them after Raw. This can be a good feud I believe, I just want Paige to win the title again.
Do please review/follow/favourite. My continued thanks to those who do.
