Chapter 2- Stalked- Kane
Imagine if you will, fly over ten thousand feet in the air the wind rushing through you as you sore over the land and sea. And the Hardy Boy music blaring into your ears… well… that's me about now… Matt is on my shoulders, trying to sound like his theme music.
"WWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!! FASTER! FASTER!" he called to me as I twisted and turned in the wind. I know what you're thinking… why am I letting Matt ride on my shoulders like this? Well the truth is, we worked out an agreement with the guys. You see since Taker and I can change like this, we don't need to rent a car or get plane tickets, we can fly anywhere, anytime. But carrying luggage is another story. So we worked out a deal. Whoever takes out luggage, we will fly them next time we have to travel. This time it's Matt and Jeff's turn.
"WHOOOO! I'M ERAGON!" Matt called aloud. Ok, that's crossing the line, I may not have read any of those stories yet, but I know Eragon's dragon is a chick. So without warning… I dropped Matt.
He began to plunge to the ground, cursing my name, yet as quickly as he fell. I swooped down and caught him in my grasp. "I ain't no chick dragon you ride on and command… got it?" I snapped back to him.
Matt's eyes widened, a grin came over his face. "Can we do it again?" I just threw him up onto my shoulders and continued to fly until something strong brazed my side. Taker flew out in front of me with Jeff on his shoulders!
"HEY SLOW POKES!" Jeff yelled aloud and began to make faces towards us. Taker laughed as he went along with it.
"OH, IT'S ON!" Matt yelled back. Taker and I got into a mock dog fight in the air, coming in close and nearly charging one another and then dive sharply to the ground yet pulled up the last moment. The Hardy's got a great laugh out if it, and wanted to do it again once more. Yet we already arrived at the arena… six hours before anyone else… well… they were all still on the plane.
Taker and I landed on the rooftop as the Hardy boys fell to the ground in laughter and giggles. They truly acted like boys; neither would stop talking about what just happened. "Now then, we are square for now?" Taker questioned them.
"Hell yeah! That was awesome!" Jeff grinned as he lay out and took a deep sigh. "I want to do it again"
"Later, come on, we got a hotel to check into" I called.
Ever since I returned, Taker and I have mastered the dragon form from what we knew. We got so good, we could change forms with our clothing on. I went through some of my best pants and shirts before it was mastered. But now it's not a problem. We changed back to normal and went down the roof door to get out. A basketball game happened to be going on, and security was very puzzled as to how we got pass them. Taker however smoothed things over explaining who we were and why we were here.
"You see, Vince wanted to test you guys. Now you know what to look for, right?" he asked.
The confused guard only nodded his head; we walked out barely able to contain our laughter. The street was abuzz as we walked to the hotel, yet I had a creeping feeling in the back of my mind… something wasn't right. I turned every so often just to see something move from the corner of my eye. "Something wrong?" Matt asked of me.
I didn't say anything. Taker could sense it too. "We're being followed, and they ain't fans" Taker whispered to Matt and Jeff.
"Muggers?" Jeff whispered.
"No, something else… something… rather odd" I replied to him. But we kept walking. Matt and Jeff stayed in front of us as Taker and I watched their backs. "This ain't right Take, you know?" I asked of him.
He agreed with me. "We'll keep an eye out… some bastard thinks he can take us both on, he has another thing coming" he replied with a grin.
I didn't share his confidence. The dragon side of me sensed danger, it was almost as if it knew what was trailing us. But I kept an open mind, just in case.
We checked into the hotel without a problem… Yet I still didn't feel at ease with myself, I couldn't shake the thought of being stared at…. Watched… studied perhaps. Yet the feeling soon vanished when the other wrestlers arrived. JBL brought me my luggage as Kevin Thorn brought Taker's. "You know… I am not a fan of free falling through the air… if you want, someone can take my turn" JBL told me in the lobby as we were chatting it up with the others. Instantly there were takers.
"OH! PLEASE!" begged Matt.
"No fair, you just had a turn!" growled Mercury.
"You can't travel due to your injury anyway!" snapped back Gregory Helms.
"I want a turn!" called CM Punk.
"WHOA, guys please. I will decide later tonight, besides. It's not like none of you will get a chance, right?" I asked.
No one answered, a lot of the guys just want a turn to brag about being flown through the air and not have to worry about a plane ticket. Taker was talking it up with Kevin, when Kevin began to stare at something odd. There was a man, sitting innocently in a chair, reading the paper to himself. Yet… there was something around his neck that startled Kevin a lot. He looked to the both of us and excused himself from the room. Taker turned to me with concern; just as I saw the man peer from the corner of his eyes to me… he was watching me! I pulled Taker from the room and told him that the man was watching us, yet he didn't believe me.
"You need a stiff drink Kane, perhaps too much air to the head?" he asked of me.
"I know what I saw… I think we need to stay on edge," I told him. Taker only shrugged to me, yet I could see in his eyes, he too was concerned. I didn't like this feeling… not one bit.
