I'm sorry I took a while off guys, I had some things come up. I also debated how I was going to continue. I knew this was the chapter that was going to take the story either darker or keep it light and fluffy. I know some people won't like it, but this was how the story came out to me. So I hope you guys still like this kind of controversial chapter. I promise to update quicker next time.

The next morning Lee woke up with Colby next to her, her hand still on his chest and his arm around her shoulders. Last night he held her while she let the worry and stress of the last couple of months overwhelm her. He had promised over and over that he wouldn't let anything happen to her. Logically she still knew that Colby simply couldn't be everywhere at once and whatever he did could always backfire. But lying with his arms around her it was easy to feel like nothing bad could happen.

Lee slowly slipped out of bed, trying not to disturb Colby. She went to brush her hair and teeth, she wasn't ready for him to see her completely natural, yet. She walked back in to find some clothes, they were flying out and would have to head to the airport soon. As she walked past the bed toward the dresser Colby's arm snaked out and pulled her over. Not expecting it, Lee virtually fell on top of him.

"Well good morning," she laughed from over the top of him.

He smiled and sat up enough to kiss her before falling back on the pillows, "Good morning, why are you out of bed?"

"Well we have to fly out in just a few hours, dear," she reasoned as she tried to roll off of him but Colby's arms held her in place.

"We have plenty of time," he pulled her to him and she surrendered, laying her head down on his chest. She sighed and let herself just lay down on him while he ran his hands through her hair. They laid there for a little while that way before Lee broke the silence, "how is this comfortable for you?" she laughed. "My entire body weight is virtually on you!"

He laughed, "I really hadn't noticed. You realize I pick up and throw large men around for living, right?" He then continued to stroke her hair.

"If you say so," Lee agreed.

"So… are you ok?" Colby asked hesitantly. Lee turned her head, so she was looking up at him and smile, "I'm pretty perfect right now."

Colby smiled back, "Me too."

They did eventually make it to the airport and onto their next city. The week continued and at the next RAW Colby was officially named to Team RAW. Windham was also named to Team Smackdown. It was also scripted that the next week Team Smackdown would make an appearance on RAW. Lee was freaking out a little, Windham was now sending her a single flower every day. Colby, aided by the cooler head of Joe, had decided to simply confront Windham that night after Raw and inform him that his attention was unwanted. Lee was worried that this plan would escalate to a more violent end, knowing the men's nature. She couldn't talk them out of it, however, and soon the RAW before Survivor Series was here.

Lee fretted all through the show, maybe normally she would have been worried about Windham finding her somewhere at the show but she found that no matter where she turned that night she was never not surrounded by large men. Between Claudio, Stephen, Joe, the New Day, and of course Colby she was never by herself. She saw Windham a few times, always watching her and smiling.

Other than the tension hanging around Lee and her friends RAW went well. There was a lot of celebratory reunion between the superstars that hadn't seen each other in a few months. The show itself went well, the confrontation between the teams went well, Colby and Joe made sure that neither of them was the one to fight Windham in the fray, worried for their own self-control. After the cameras shut down came the real show, though.

As they walked back through the curtain Colby placed his hand on Windham's shoulder, "We need to talk." Joe was standing behind Colby, making them a very imposing pair.

Windham smiled, "But of course, friends," he gave them a small mock bow, indicating he would follow them.

Colby sneered at the use of the word 'friends' and led them into a deserted hallway before turning back to Windham.

"Let's not bullshit, Windham. Lee is not interested in you, she never has been, and she never will be. You need to leave her alone," Colby said as calmly as he could.

Windham laughed, "Oh brave protectors! Strong white knights! But I believe that is her decision to make."

"She already did, she's told you over and over that she doesn't want anything to do with you. She's thrown away every flower and given away every gift," Colby said maliciously while clenching his fist.

The smile on Windham's face faltered but he quickly recovered, "Perhaps it appears that way to you. But given the choice, I know she will pick the darkness, it is there, within-"

"Bullshit, she's the most caring person I've ever met! There's no darkness in her! Only your absurd delusions," he stepped closer to Windham. "And you will leave her alone," Colby said menacingly in Windham's face. This is when Joe stepped forward to pull Colby back, worried he would lose his temper.

Joe turned to Windham, "We aren't playing, Windham. This is done, or we take it to the company. "Joe turned and started to lead Colby away.

Windham laughed again, "I'll show her the darkness, gentleman, and once she's tasted it, she'll beg me for more-"

Colby lost it, he turned and launched at Windham. Knocking him on the floor with a single punch. Windham tried to grab his leg, Colby kicked his hand away and stepped on it, causing a sickening crunch and a groan from Windham.

"Colby, you're gonna get in trouble, come on," Joe grabbed Colby around the waist and hauled him away.

"You better never fucking touch her!" Colby yelled over Joe's shoulder as the big Samoan pushed him toward the door.

WWE Network exclusive update: Bray Wyatt injured on Monday night RAW

Bray Wyatt sustained an injury to his hand while appearing on Monday night RAW. He will be unable to compete Sunday at Survivor Series. Luke Harper is set to replace him on Team Smackdown.

Calming Colby down that night after RAW had not been easy and Lee spent the whole next day waiting for him to get called in to see Hunter or Stephanie. The call never came, though., apparently Windham had claimed the injury came during the on air scuffle. Lee felt like she could breathe again. Windham was out of Survivor Series and Colby wasn't in trouble. Now she could look forward to the pay-per- view without fear in the back of her mind.

"No, I don't want to know the storyline, " Lee said putting her hands over her ears.

"Oh come on," he said taking a hold of her wrists. "Don't you want to know that Joe and I-"

"La la la, no!" she said adamantly while laughing. She was fighting against his grip as he drew her hands to her sides.

"But-"

"No!"

"Come on!"

"No, I want to watch the match and be involved like a fan," Lee smiled as he drew her to him.

"But you aren't just a fan anymore! You get special privileges," he commented as he put arms around her, keeping a hold of her wrists and pinning her arms behind her.

She shook her head, "No, I like cheering for you guys without knowing the end result. No hints, I'll watch from guerilla and be waiting there when you get finished."

He smiled, "Ok, ok." He pulled her against him and kissed her deeply. They stayed that way a few minutes, giggling as Lee tried to pull her hands free and Colby rained kisses down her neck as she laughed. But then it was time for Colby to go get ready for his match and Lee to make her way back to her office.

Windham Rotunda had not been willing to miss his chance to see Lee in person and chose to come to the arena, whether he would be in a match or not. He was easily recognizable and let through backstage security easily. As he roamed the halls searching for Lee it was this sweet scene of Lee and Colby that he came across.

As he saw her giving into Colby, allowing him to put his hands on her, Windham began to lose his composure. Apparently he had been mistaken, she had already chosen and she had chosen wrong...

"I think you'll be good to go for tonight, E, maybe watch how many times your ram that shoulder into somebody's abdomen tonight," Lee chided with a smile.

"Aww, Doc, you know I can't do that. It's a feeling, it runs away from you," Ettore left her office to head to guerilla for the tag team match. Lee giggled and turned back to wipe down her table.

"Hello, Annalee,"

Lee jumped at that voice. She spun around to find Windham standing directly behind her. Gone was his slightly maniacal but pandering smile. Instead his face held nothing but barely contained rage.

"Windham, what are you doing here? I thought you weren't on the card for tonight," Lee tried to subtly inch back toward her phone on the desk. Windham, however, followed-keeping her close.

"No, no I am not. Do you know why that is, Little Lamb?" Windham he asked dangerously calm. Even the tenor of his voice was different, it was like when you tune a guitar and tighten the string there is a moment just before you go too far, when it's about to snap. A moment that you can feel the tension about to become unbearable; that's what Windham's voice sounded like.

"Because of Colby-" she whispered, he had backed her into a cabinet.

"Yes," he shouted toward the ceiling. "Yes," more quietly, "the white knight." Then he chuckled and looked down to Lee, his eyes softer, he lifted his uninjured hand and made to caress her cheek but Lee pulled back. The anger came back, "You scorn at my touch? My touch?!" His hand moved to her throat and pushed her against the cabinet. "My touch that could give you everything! The touch that could show you the power within you!" he sneered. Lee began to struggle for breath as she fought against his strong grip. Windham moved in closer and snarled into her face, "Instead you embrace him! The white knight, the charger!" He looked down at her lips for a second then back into her eyes, the spark of desire she saw there scared her even more than the power in his hold on her. She began to struggle more, clawing at his arm and pushing against his body that had her pressed to the cabinet.

"Maybe there is still time, maybe you only need to be shown," Windham said thoughtfully before he forced her jaw up and kissed her. Lee gasped, she could feel his other hand on her low back and remembered the injury. She threw her hips back and smashed his hand, he threw his head back and howled in pain. Lee took advantage of the space to bring her hands up and rake her fingernails down his face and grip his beard pulling on it. He yelled and pulled his uninjured hand back to backhand her across the face, knocking her to the side. As she tried to regain her balance and not fall he grabbed her shoulders and turned her toward him. He tried to pull her in and she kicked out on instinct, trying for his knee, but he felt it coming and pushed her and she fell to the ground. He was immediately on her; his hand began to pull at her shirt. Lee stabbed her two fingers as precisely as she could into his Adam's apple and was gratified to hear him choke but instead of moving his hand he pulled her up by her shirt and slammed her down. He did it several times, he threw her up and down on the floor, slamming her head into the ground each time. Lee's vision bloomed, bursts of lights floated in front of her. For a moment she felt her whole body go limp and she felt out of her own control. During that moment she could feel his hands on her, tugging at her jeans and a panic grew that forced her to stay conscious. She felt his hands reach further and she gasped and threw her arm up, bring her elbow around to connect with his jaw. He reeled back and she leaned up so she could do it again, fighting the dizziness that tried to overtake her.

With the second shot his hand finally withdrew as he fell back. Lee pressed the advantage and sat all the way up, throwing her hips up to knock him completely over. Lee turned and crawled over to her trainer table as quickly as possible. The EMT kit was there, she grabbed it and got it open before he was grabbing onto her leg again pulling her back.

"Come, Annalee, it will only hurt for a moment and then you will know what the darkness feels like, you'll never leave," he was grunting with the effort to pull her back when she kicked out and slammed into his hand again. He released her and screamed in pain, so Lee turned and did it again and again until he had fully let go of her leg to hold his hand. She then turned back to the bag and grabbed a syringe and medicine, quickly filling the syringe. She heard his roar, he had stood and ran toward her, grabbing her around the waist he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder almost into her patient care table. He came to climb on top of her again but Lee had held onto the syringe and now slammed it into his thigh and released. She used the moment of distraction to punch him in the throat again and kick him away. Then Lee ran for the door, Windham tried to follow but within seconds his leg locked up from the muscle relaxer she had injected him with. Lee ran out the door and threw herself down the hallway and stumbled around another corner where she could see The New Day at the end of the hallway and more importantly they saw her.

"Lee!" all three member sprinted down the hallway to her.
