Divas Prison Ch36

'A' block has broken down to a state of complete anarchy, but all Becky wanted to do was find a way to shut out all the noise enough to believe that she wasn't there. Since meeting Paige, she had found a new side to herself, one she liked and one that had hopes and dreams. It was the first time since she found herself in a cell that she thought she had a future.

Now that future was slipping away from her. Paige had insisted in taking part in a planned riot in order to end the so called reign that Mickie James felt she had over the block. She was making people's lives misery so people she called friends, people she considered enemies, and the person she had hoped to spend her life with were out there in a fight that couldn't end well for anybody.

Becky was trying to fight the fear in her mind. She had lost Paige once before before for getting involved in violence, and once before that she almost saw her choked out in a fight. She didn't want to risk the future she saw outside the walls and fences that kept her incarcerated for still several years to come. Paige had promised not to get involved in any fighting, but had broken that for the riot that raged on. Becky was upset that she had basically told Paige she didn't love her anymore, but didn't know how she could trust her going forward.

That conundrum was the only thing going through Becky's head as she dared have a look outside her cell to see if things had calmed down. She couldn't see anyone she knew at first, the chaos was like a thick smoke. Eventually she saw Charlotte struggling against someone twice her size. She also saw Natalya approaching so kept scanning the room.

At that moment she saw something that made her feel sick. She may not have been able to see her face as it was covered, but that was Paige. She was getting kicked and stomped by three different women at once. The three Knockouts who worked for Mickie. She felt like her feet turned to stone as she watched them pick Paige up. One of them was holding something in her hand. Becky couldn't see what it was for sure, but she knew. It had to be a blade of some description.

At this moment something changed inside her. Like she wasn't her anymore. Whatever it was that took over her, it took effect straight away and Becky sprinted towards them, used the stool and table for a launching point and threw herself at the knockouts, taking down Angelina, the Knockout with the knife with a kick so had and so fast that none of the three of them could have seen it coming if they watched her all the way from the cell door. Angelina dropped the blade as she fell and it fell at Velvets feet. Rather than picking it up, the knockout kicked it away across the block, unseen to Madison, who tried to ready herself, and to Becky, who simply didn't care anyway. Since the blade fell towards Velvet, Becky went at her first without hesitation, knocking her down straight away with a devastating punch. Becky picked Velvet up by the head so she was seated then repeatedly rammed her knee into the face of the knockout. Becky then let go to go after Madison, Velvet dropping back to the ground, unconscious and bleeding from the nose. Madison went to get away but was tackled from behind by Becky, who threw punch after punch to the back of Madison's head, her defences not getting in the way.

The cry of "Holy shit!" from across the way didn't stop Becky's attack. She focuses on what she was doing until she felt herself being pulled off the beaten Knockout. As she was stood up, she was turned and saw that someone was holding Paige's head. That someone was Natalya, but Becky didn't realise that. "Get off of her!" Becky screamed, broke free from Charlotte's grasp, not that she knew that either, and kicked Natalya square in the side of the head. Charlotte came back in as well. Beach swung her arm behind her but Charlotte was ready for her, realising she wasn't in control. She easily ducked under the arm and when It returned round to Becky's side, Charlotte was able to get her in a clinch that wasn't going to be broken anytime soon. Becky fought against it but with no success and her energy was slowly disappearing.

"Becky, it's Charlotte and Nattie. We aren't going to hurt anyone, it's ok. Please calm down. Calm down, it's ok." Charlotte's soft tone and repeated assurances seemed to hit home and Becky was soon breathing normally. Charlotte let her go but that was proven to be a mistake when she turned around and saw Natalya still tending to Paige. This time however, the reaction wasn't violent.

"Paige!" Becky cried out, getting hysterical but trying to help bring her round. She was being a lot more of a hinderance that a help and Charlotte pulled her away.

"There's nothing you can do Bex. Just let Nattie do what she can and then we will get the doctors."

"Let me go! Let me go now! Can't you see she needs me? Paige! I'm here baby. Don't do this to me! You promised you were never going to leave me again! You can't leave me! I NEED YOU!" Seeing how frantic Becky was, Charlotte tried to turn her away from Paige's limp body as Natalya's expression got more and more concerned.

"She's going to be alright, you'll see. You can't panic right now. Just stay calm, can you do that for me?"

Becky ignored Charlotte's attempts to help, but did calm down, gripping Charlotte as she had tears rolling down her face. "Why couldn't she listen? She promised me she wouldn't fight anymore. Now look. I wanted to keep her safe, keep her with me, I nearly lost her before. Why couldn't she keep her promise. She'd be safe. I don't know what's happening to me. I hate her right now, but I can't lose her. I can't."

Becky slid down Charlotte, and leaned against a stool. Natalya came and knelt in front of her. She looked extremely concerned. "Becky, she's...

"No Nattie, don't say it, please, just don't, I can't..." Becky trailed off as Natalya took her hands in her own.

"Becky, she's ok."

Becky was looking at the floor, but now adjusted her head so she looked at her friend in disbelief. "She's ok?"

"Well, she's had the living hell beaten out of her, and lost some blood, but I was able to stop the bleeding. It's a damn good job you stopped when you did. You've saved her life."

"I've...she's... I mean, how did you?"

"I've dealt with gunshot and stab wounds before, part of the business, but that was going to be more than I could do, I'm not a doctor and there are no tools here. I just used what I had. She'll still need a doctor soon of course. But that will have to come later. Right now we have to get her out of here, and time isn't on our side. Come on, all together."

The three companies efforts to get Paige back on her feet so they could move, as she reached fully upright she mumbled something, no one could tell what but Becky stopped, forgetting the plan.

"Paige?"

"Mmm"

"Paige it's Becky, can you hear me?"

"Mmm"

"We're here for you. We're going to get you help but we need to move now, do you understand what we are doing now?"

"Mmm"

"Becky, not now!" Natalya interrupted, "There's no time." Becky nodded and the three started walking, Paige with an arm around Natalya and Becky, as they carried Paige away from the violence still engulfing the block.


Mickie had done the smartest thing she could do when everything broke out. She got away from it all as best she could and as quick as she could. Being the self proclaimed Top Dog, there was nothing for her to gain at that moment, but there was a lot to lose. Anyone could try their luck in some delusional moment, or more than one, separately or all together. Mickie wasn't going to risk her place, or her neck, in some random brawl where she had no control. She was very methodical. She had kept Victoria, her best soldier close by for support and protection, and had sent the other three out to take care of some of Litas allies. She hadn't seen them for a while, but wasn't letting that bother her. If they got themselves hurt, killed, taken down by guards, she didn't care.

Slowly but surely, Lita had cleared out all the places she could have been, not that there were that many. Through one reason or another, she didn't know exact reasons, but the odds were a lot more even than she wanted. She only had Emma and Trish as her backup. Against Victoria and Mickie, it was basically even. Trish was not a fighter, but had promised to do what's he could. She was as fired up as she had ever been, wanting revenge for all the abuse she had suffered and needing to pay Victoria back for her betrayal.

"Mick, it's time" Victoria said to her boss, spotting Lita closing in on their location. The two knew staying where they were wasn't a good idea and moved into a more open area. They stood facing each other.

"You did all this for little old me?" Mickie said, smiling at Lita as she did so.

"I'll do more than that to get rid of you." Lita responded. "You're a cancer, you've ruined more people's lives than anyone else I've ever known."

"Flattery will get you nowhere Lita. I gave you a chance, two in fact,to step back and let it be. I guess I will always be smarter than you.

"If you were anywhere near as smart as you think you are, you wouldn't have a longer arrest record than anyone else in here."

"And yet I'll still be out one day, something you'll never come close to."

"Says the woman who killed someone right outside that door. Now come on James, you and me. Only one walks away."

"Yet they'll never prove it. Why would I fight you anyway. I told you - smart. Victoria my dear, would you please introduce our friends head to the nearest wall? Thank you so much." Mickie spoke like she was asking her to pass the sugar bowl at a tea party. Victoria grinned, she had been waiting for the go ahead and walked at Lita, who had a smile of her own.

"Sorry Vic, not this time." Ready and waiting, Trish and Emma both dived low at Victoria's legs, taking her off her feet. On the floor, she was much more vulnerable and with two women on top of her, she was being kept occupied. Mickie knew this and before she knew it, Lita dropped her with an elbow. Lita took a mount position and threw punches, but wasn't connecting. Mickie had covered up as much as she could, while trying to get free.

"Vic! Get your ass over here now!" Mickie screamed. Lita was trying to make her shots count as much as she could.

"Lita, we can't hold her much longer!" Was Trish's call, it was certainly accurate as Victoria had managed to free an arm and was trying to remove Trish and Emma though the only way she knew how. She knocked Trish off then dealt with Emma. Lita knew she was in trouble, this tried to strangle Mickie in a last ditch attempt, but had nowhere near enough time as Victoria was coming fast. Lita got ready to deal with them both.

Before that happened, there was a scream from the other side of the block as smoke was quickly filling the area. It caused most of the various incidents to pause and everyone to go quiet long enough to hear the small clanging and banging that let everyone know what was happening. Even those who were new were aware.

"We've run out of time. Dammit!" Lita exclaimed, as she dropped to her knees and put her hands on her head. Mickie and Victoria did the same as Trish and Emma struggled their own way up, except Micke couldn't hide the grin on her face. "You lose again. And now it's going to be an eternity till you get near me again."

"I don't get it, we should have had more than enough time." Lita said in disbelief, as the main door to the block and the door to the yard opened and the block was flooded with officers, all in full protective gear, giving orders for all the inmates to surrender and put their hands on their head. Some had already complied, it had always been part of the plan not to go too far and reduce the risk of the severe punishments their actions could result in. Others obeyed the order the moment it was given, some didn't want to give up. Those last ones quickly regretted their decision as they were put down by a number of officers in seconds a piece. Quickly the block fell quiet and the smoke began to clear, leaving a mess of officers, inmates kneeling in surrender and inmates being held down. They were all ordered not to move and they complied until the Warden and Head Guard arrived in the block, flanked by more officers still. They ensured the beaten and bound officers were released and gotten the help they need, then the Warden turned his attention to his prisoners.

"Lock them down! Lock them all down till Christmas for all I care! No yard time, 23 hours cell confinement until I say otherwise! Count every prisoner by scan! I want every woman who refused the order to surrender in The Lock now! No exceptions, no mercy, no human rights for all I care. Now! Now! Now! The anger in his voice, with his face having gone bright red, was not good news for the guards who knew him, with Sting hustling his troops to carry out his orders. The women who surrendered, which was by far the majority, returned to their cells. Guard after guard came to the window and scanned the ID bands on the wrist of each prisoner, as was always done when there was a lockdown situation. The ones who did not were scanned, but then cuffed and dragged off the block in a much less dignified way than they would usually do, in a attempt to pacify their boss, who by this point had stopped shouting, for a moment.

The guards after completing their count , reported to Sting, comparing their count result with each other, the conversation quickly getting frenzied as all of them were talking at the same time, gesturing wildly. Sting took the details over to the Warden, who took a look at it, then looked at his number two with fear added to his angry expression. Sting simply nodded and that was it for Flair. He began ranting in a way none of his staff had ever seen. He ripped off his suit jacket, threw it on the floor and was in a complete rage. Sting ran his hands down his face, then took a deep breath and activated his radio. He spoke clearly and loudly so that every woman could hear him, causing a huge cheer, infuriating the Warden further, if that were possible.

"This is Borden to all stations. Borden to all stations. Hear this. Put all areas, all blocks onto immediate and complete lockdown. All on call staff to towers and lights, all off duty staff to be contacted and to report immediately. We have four prisoners unaccounted for and missing. I repeat. A Block is four prisoners short. Sound the general alarm and begin full search of the grounds. I will begin coordination with local and State law enforcement. Go Go Go!"

Outside, a black SUV pulled away from the prison at speed, disappearing into the night...

A/N: This is different for me. This chapter has been written at 35000 feet somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. I'm on my way to the US for a holiday/vacation. Since it's a nine hour flight, what better way to pass the time (Thanks for the idea Dan, I'm still pretty sure I'd have kicked myself for it later)

It's great to see Paige was able to work things out with WWE. After all that went down I thought it was a lost cause. I hope they book her right when she does make it back from injury of course.

Thank you for reading. And to those who reviewed. All of us on here know how great a positive review feels. Hopefully the ending was at least a small surprise.
