A Raven in the Hand
CHAPTER 1
Dave Batista paced back and forth in the hall way of Madison Square Gardens as he looked at his watch often, he was never a patient man. Dressed in his very best black dress pants and coat, with a crisp white button shirt, waiting for his little sister to arrive.
He was surprised to hear from her, usually the woman was off in another country, studying ancient religions and archaeology. Sometimes Dave thought she was a little on the weird side, she always came back with strange and mystical artefacts. She studied mostly ancient pagan gods and artefacts, her knowledge of the old gods had caused her to travel though out the world on various excavation sights for multiple museums.
Her most exiting endeavour was being called out by the Vatican, Dave had heard of five separate trips to Rome. He really didn't know what she did for them, Kayla never talked on what she did when she actually found in the digs. She just talked about the going on of the camp and gossip. Not even their parents knew what she did, and every time she was asked, Kayla directed the answer to something else. The woman was quite clever and very secretive.
Come to think of it, as Dave would think over, she was always on the weird side. Kayla was David's half sister, they shared a father, but separate mothers. David's father had divorced his mother when he was ten, later married what his mother called a hippy chick. Kayla was born a year later. He got to see her lots though, his father had him come stay every second weekend and holidays. At least until he was sixteen and got his driver's licence and the birthday car from Dad and Serena. But he did keep in touch, stopping over on Christmas and birthdays, and sometimes just to say hi.
He watched Kayla grow up, she was very much into the studies. She was known to always have her nose in a book, usually an old leather bound book as wide as a dinner plate. She was always had top grades in school and was always on the dean's list at college. Last time he saw her, she had just rescued a baby raven from a cat last summer at his father's . Her dark eyes and dark red hair…it was hard to tell if the color was real, until you saw her baby pictures.
As Dave turned back towards the front main doors, he grinned ear to ear as she walked towards him. She was as beautiful as he remember, she was average height and perfectly curvy, her long dark red hair was layer and brought straight around her face. The back shadow like make up around her eyes accentuated her dark brown eyes, making them appear black. Her lips were the color of her hair, a scarlet sheen. Dressed neck to toes in black, a thick woollen turtle neck, almost tight to her skin, long bell bottom dress pants with patented leather boots with a three inch heel. She wore a cotton long coat with the cuffs and neck line covered in matching soft fur. The only color on her was her silver necklace with a pentacle with tiny engravings hanging from the center, it glittered in the light as she approached him.
It took him a few looks as he noticed a ball of feathers that sat on her right shoulder, it was the raven, the one she saved from becoming a cat's dinner. The animal was huge for its kind, the body itself was at least over two fee long, giving the beast a wingspan of six feet, a giant of a bird. Its beak was almost five inches long, his black eyes starred intently on Dave as they reached him.
"Kayla!" David smiled as he grabbed his sister in a hug, almost knocking the big off her shoulders, she wrapped her arms around the animal.
"Dave! I missed you so much!" The raven squawked its disapproval as he let her down.
"Wow, you look great! How was your trip in Israel?" He asked as he took her arm and began to walk her towards the back where the wrestlers were relaxing until they had to get ready for the match that was being held that night.
"Long, too long. If I have to eat another goat, I think I'll turn into a vegetarian!" Kayla giggled, "And how are you? Congratulations on your Championship win, I guess you must be thrilled to have the belt back."
"That happened at Survivor's Series…"
"I know, I watched it."
"How? You were in Brazil. In the middle of a rain forest?"
"Satellite internet. Does that guy really think he's a King?"
"Sadly…some of the people are a little strange, I think you'll fit right in."
Kayla gave him a fake punch in his gut, "You're so funny."
"I see that pecker head is doing fine." Dave grabbed the bird's beak with his fingers, the animal tried to bit back but Dave got out of the way in time.
"Stop picking on him, and yes Reaper is doing fine." She playfully pushed him.
"Ah, come on Kayla. You know I like him, he's pretty smart for a bird!" He wrapped his arm around her.
The raven squawked a few times making Kayla giggle to herself.
"What's so funny?" Dave asked.
"At least he doesn't beat his chest like a gorilla…" She replied.
"I do not beat my chest…" Kayla stopped in front of a dressing room door.
She turned to look at it, there was a strange feeling coming from inside the room. She could tell it was powerful, but it was unknown to her yet it was still familiar, she had sense something similar before.
"Kayla?" Dave asked as she read the name on the door.
"Hmm…" She starred intently at the name, a small smile crept onto her lips.
She turned and smiled at her brother, "Nothing, just reading the name, see if I recognize it."
"Well, you must have heard of him?" Dave pointed to the door.
"No, not really…I really don't watch wrestling very much. Always off on a job sight you know."
They continued their walk towards his dressing room, Kayla took another look back at the name and smiled.
It read…UNDERTAKER.
To be continued…
