"Baby are you sure this is a good idea?" Lita questioned. "I mean. You've seen him angry, and if you piss him off with this-"
"Li, don't worry if he doesn't accept the peace offering, we'll just make a deal with a lesser of two evils" Edge insisted.
"Why don't we just do that in the first place?" She was definitely not trusting of Edge's 'full proof' plan, the entire idea didn't sit well with her.
"Because I don't like deals. This way I don't owe anybody anything. Plus you know there is a chance this all works out like it's planned and everyone leaves happy." Edge leaned down and kissed her.
" This is Kane you're talking about, no one leaves happy"She shook her head.
"Carrie of all the weird professions, you chose professional wrestling. I knew I shouldn't have sat next to you in the second grade-" Sidney complained as he always did when he was stuck in traffic and just their luck they had been in traffic practically the entire way from Oregon to Illinois.
"Oh quit your whining, think of all the half naked women you'll meet. Granted they could cracked your head like a walnut with their thighs" She demonstrated with her hands. "But half naked none the less" Carrie made an convincing argument.
"I know that's why I tagged along, scantly clad women, men in spandex like pants. I am all for that, in any situation." Janey poked her head through the seats into view with a huge smirk on her face.
"Hey Alice, why'd you come?" Carrie turned to the other passenger in the vehicle.
"I didn't want to be left out. My three best friends are leaving for a brand new experience. I thought I'd regret it if I didn't come. And I was right, we've had loads of fun already." Alice took her eyes off the scenery to her friend and smiled.
"If you call getting thrown out of the state of Wyoming by an angry bike gang fun" Sidney scoffed.
"What? You don't?" Carrie smirked.
'What the hell do they want, calling me out into the ring, I don't have time to deal with them. Do they think I live to chase them around?' Kane tied his boots, stewing over this waste of time. 'we have a present' he remembered Edge gloating.
"Carrie you're going to be late" Janet yelled as they sprinted through the halls.
"I'm glad you recommended that. Cause right now, not hurrying" Carrie half panted half laughed.
"Oh bite me" Janet sneered but it morphed into a wayward smile.
"Well I would, but I'm late and I've got to hurry" Carrie shrugged as she sped up only to come to a screeching halt, nearly creating a collision. "Pardon me" She tipped her imaginary hat at him. He just scowled and walked past. 'I can see I'm going to be making friends left and right' she scoffed to herself before resuming her sprint.
"Now Kane, you might be wondering, 'Hey why would Edge and Lita get me a gift' Edge paused for a reaction but Kane only wrinkled his nose. "Well I'll tell you. We're friendly people we like to see people happy and-" Edge playfully punched Kane in the shoulder, at this Kane came face to face with Edge walking him slowly backwards into the ropes. Edge had gone through all this trouble because for all wrestlers behind the curtain, he feared Kane the most and did not want to have to defend the title against him
"Hurry up" Kane breathed horsely into Edge's microphone.
"Ok, right. See I know why you don't like me. I. . .well I stole your woman from under your feet." Edge planted a kiss on Lita. Kane just gritted his teeth. 'If this is what they brought me out for there will be hell to pay' "So I thought I'd lend a helping hand." Edge moved his hand as to pat Kane on the back but recoiled and decided against it. "We searched all over, armature establishments across the US. And good news, we found a girl" Edge saw anger rise in Kane. " I mean just a valet or a manager sort of thing You'll like her promise. Cassie?" Edge spoke fast and was relived when her music hit. Kane watched the ramp and to the sound of 'The Hunger' she came confidently strode towards them, brushing some of her dark brown hair from her eyes. She studied him as she neared, intrigued yet cautious she made her way through the ropes. For a moment he let his guard down she smiled and he gave her a less perturbed look almost succeeding in a smile. he got caught up the first woman he had given two thoughts about since Lita. 'There's a reason for that' he reminded himself and almost on cue Edge found it just the right time to speak again. "So?"
"I don't want her" Kane huffed like an upset child. Carrie's smile turned to a meek and uncomfortable cringe.
"Oh come on give her chance, take her for a test drive" Edge winked.
"No one will be driving me, not in any sort." Carrie knew what he implied and she refused to be his whore, sh was grateful he had picked her,giving her a shot, but she wasn't that grateful. Though Kane was far to alert to let it show, the fact that she stood her ground with Edge made him want to get to know her, but he had to put his foot down, he had to stay strong. 'Women equals pain' he repeated it in his head over and over again. He made his way to the ropes.
"Like it or not Kane, cause I knew you'd make it hard, for the next three weeks she's with you. It's in writing" Edge added. Kane stopped , turned and took Carrie by the wrist and with haste they had left.
"Sorry" Carrie stated as they made their way to Mr. McMahon's office, she didn't know what she was apologizing for but she felt she should say something. Kane paused, did he want her to be sorry? She hadn't done anything to him 'yet' told himself 'I have to get rid of her before she has the chance'. He just shook his head, not even looking directly at her and with that he pulled her along.
"Sit here" he pointed her to a vacant chair. It was the first time he had spoke to her. She took notice to his tone of voice, not disgusted by her presence like it had sounded back in the ring. 'Maybe I'm growing on him' She smiled optimistically as she went to sit down. "Get me out of this" She heard him growl as he slammed the door. 'Maybe not' she rolled her eyes.
"I can't change it Kane, three weeks will be gone like that. Then if you want she'll be out of your hair. . . er no pun intended, for good." Vince did his best to calm Kane just enough for him to leave.
"Well someone's going to answer for this" Kane clenched his fist, he would gain control of this situation if had to fight to and nail he, he wouldn't be taken for a ride.
"Would you leave this office if I promised you a match with Edge" Vince offered. Kane momentarily relaxed his aggressive stance.
"What should i do with it!" Kane pointed to the door.
"This it has ears you know!" Carrie said loud enough for them to hear.
"Buy a muzzle?"Vince suggested.
By the time Kane left the office Carrie was gone from her designated seat. 'She stormed off' he didn't know exactly how he felt about that, if everything was normal he wouldn't have felt anything about it but that girl was anything but normal. Part of him wanted her upset wanted her to leave him alone, but at the same time part of him wanted to apologize. He decided to head back to the hotel, he could avoid all of those thoughts for a week. He went to retrieve his things and then he could get away. But when he opened to door to his changing room he was met with a surprise. There lying on his bench was a sleeping Carrie. He walked over hoping his oafish form wouldn't wake her as his feet scuffed the floor. Hovering over her he was dazed. 'She's so frail and innocent looking could this be the same thing I fear.' he gave into a suppressed curiosity he touched her face lightly her hair and skin felt wonderful. Carrie became somewhat aware what was going on feeling something touching her, it was rough like sand paper but moved softly over her being careful not to agitate her. But in a split second her conscious mind snapped out of it's nap it tandem she fell ungracefully to the floor. "Ok Ow" Carrie rubbed her red and stinging nose. She looked up to see Kane, towering dauntingly above her. "Sorry" She stood up still a bit dazed she yawned and then when Kane didn't do or anything she explained why she was there. "It was a long ride here from Oregon and I was really tired. I couldn't find any of my friends and I probably don't want to find them knowing my friends so. . .since you are the only person I know here I-"
"What about Edge and Lita" Kane sneered.
"He's always um. . . preoccupied. . .with his girl friend it's awkward. . .and a little creepy, so I keep my distance" Carrie shuddered.
"Are you scared of me?" Kane asked as though it was the beginning of a whole new conversation.
"Yes" she smiled at him. "But don't take it personal everyone is scary to me. I have people phobia of sorts" She laughed it off but it was true she saw people as vultures picking away at her half dead soul so she avoided most like the plague. Kane in that moment decided he'd take this whole matter in his own hands, he'd scare her away, all the way back to Oregon.
"You're right to be" His paw like hands dug into her shoulders.
"Yeah?" She was going to stand her ground, no one would push her around, not Edge not Mr. McMahon, and not Kane.
"People, Carrie, are hell"He pushed her into the wall behind her, the back of her legs connecting with the bench. He had to hurt her, before she hurt him. He had survive, and survival sometimes leaves you alone. 'But what if she wouldn't hurt me, what if she would've been nice to me, cared for me' But the what if's had just flown out the window. ' And Edge and Lita are to blame for putting us in this position.' Kane had been so far lost in thought and blood lust that he didn't notice what he had done, not till he looked to the floor. There panting and coughing was Carrie her lip busted open, as she stood up her back came into view patched with bruises and scrapes bleeding sightly at the worst parts
He looked at hi hands and then at what they had done maybe he deserved to be hurt he was a monster. He only wanted to scare her, not wound her. "Carrie I'm-" Their eyes met and in them Kane saw something he wasn't expecting. They were hurt but defiant he felt his stomach sink. He ran his hand over his head and without another word he just left.
