Chapter 1- The missing hours- Serpentine
She should have been back by now.
I hardly slept when I returned to the hotel room, I worried for Miss Lee and couldn't shake the sensation that she fell into a trap. Without a second thought I got up and went back to the arena. There were far more people there than the last time, in fact, the hallway was lined with men and women from the locker room. They were all at a stand still and stared on as a voice boomed through the hallways. "Not a word. None of you!"
I made my way through the crowd, yet when they took notice of me, they parted. Slowly I made my way to the front where Kane was shouting orders to the locker room. No one was to say anything. "If he finds out…" His arms were up as he was about to shout aloud until he saw me standing there.
In an instant, Kane froze from his screaming rant. His arms lowly lowered and his mouth closed. He tried to compose himself as the locker room began to move far way from him. Kane couldn't even look me in the eye. "Where is she?" I said to him. My voice barely went below a growl, but I knew he let something happen to Miss Lee.
Kane tried to find his words as he struggled. "I didn't know." Were the first three words he spoke.
"Where… is… she?" I said slowly and angrier than before.
He choked. Kane coughed up his setance until I looked to the ground. I saw one of her images on the ground. The card was empty. It meant only one thing. Something was released. I picked it up and showed Kane, and made certain he stared upon it. "Do you know what this means? Kane, Look at me when I speak to you. If she is unconscious, whatever has fallen from her possession will manifest themselves like I have. Do you have any idea what has been done to her?"
He suddenly appeared to care now about Miss Lee. "Wyatts." He said. "I saw the lantern on the rampway. She was in the ring… unconscious."
"Did you find her?"
"No, Punk did."
"Damn it." I muttered and made my way towards the ring. Kane was in quick persuit, demanding to know why I was going to the ring. Along the way there was another empty card…. Then another… and one other in the ring, but this one has a footprint on it. Someone stepped on one of my fellow immortals.
"Will you tell me what the hell is going on!" Kane roared.
I slowly turned to him. "If you thought I was a headache. You now have three more of my brethren on your hands!"
His face turned white as he took the empty cards from my hands. Slowly he looked over them but found no images. "Three more of you…"
"You will make amends and punish those responsible or it shall be five the authority has to deal with!"
He stared at me. "Five?"
"Yeah, you don't want me to summon the fifth one. And yes. I can!"
