CHAPTER 2

Sara had been tossing and turning all night in between soft cries, Her thoughts were jumping from one thing to another, firstly wondering when it all started, why, where and mostly what was she going to do now.

Kane had heard Sara sobbing all night tormenting herself with her own mind, He wasn't very good in these situations so he has just laid there for hours feeling his eyes go heavy but no sleep came at all.

Finally he gave up sleep when he heard Sara begin to cry uncontrollably, It was obvious she was trying desperately to stop or at least tone it down. Kane crept over to her in the dark crouching down at the side of the bed, He could see Sara clearly as the sun was beginning to rise and peer through the window, Sara realized he was there but couldn't find any words to say, "Sara, Don't worry about crying just let the emotion out, No point in keeping it in and making yourself even more angry because trust me that's what leads to problems" He stood up regretting saying that, Sara sat up wiping at her eyes with a tissue, "What problems" ? She asked curiously.

"Uh, Nothing, I'm gonna go shower and get ready" He quickly entered the bathroom closing the door behind him sighing heavily as he leaned against the door. Sara wondered what he had meant but really couldn't focus on that right then, Other things were more important.

Taker had slept well but his dreams hadn't been so peaceful, He had been having the most weird dreams,

'He had been wrestling Kane at WrestleMania, Taker had won but then as he looked down at Kane's beaten body he gasped when he realized it was Sara who he had been fighting'.

He woke up around 8am shaking his head at the dream, His mind quickly filled him in on last nights events, He cursed and began getting ready.

Michelle McCool was already up by 8am and sitting in the breakfast room toying with her food, She didn't know what to do,

For a moment she even wondered if she should even approach Taker.

Round after round, Pound after Pound of anger fuelled punches beat into the rough but soft object, Sweat poured into every hit.

Dust was sent flying around the room, The force of the strike making the little bits blow crazed around the 7 foot muscle machine.

Kane hit hard at the punch bag, He didn't see a punching object though, He saw Paul Bearer 'HIT' Taker 'HIT' Adoptive parents 'HIT'

Everybody received a hit for their deceit at one time or another, their punishment, betrayal, Beat Downs, Emotional scars, The worst possible memories any man or women could ever have.

He breathed heavily as he stopped the hitting, He turned around and raised his eyebrows when he saw Sara standing there watching him, She went a little red with embarrassment and began trying to explain why she was there, "Hey, Kane I was just uh coming to ask if you wanted brunch" She walked inside noticing his wide wild looking eyes, They had fire in them, His body language was defensive and on alert.

"Uh, Sure" He watched as she walked over to him looking at his hands, He had a lot of emotions in his head, Not just from the previous nights events but from his entire life, He was in a bit of a mess that morning and as soon as he went to the gym it all came up at once, He hadn't even put on boxing gloves so he had been hitting out at the bag bare handed, The rough surface had badly bruised his knuckles also causing small wounds and it was obvious his wrist was dislocated.

He hadn't noticed though since everything else had taken over his mind that morning, Sara gasped seeing the damage done,

"Oh my god, Kane" She gently put her hand on his knuckles, running her hand smoothly over his warm skin. He suddenly felt himself go weak and that made him step back quickly, "Uh, Brunch"

He walked fast back to the changing room getting into casual wear.

As he left her there Sara realized what had happened,

She had completely lost her senses when she was around him, Last night she had kissed him, Today she had no doubt seductively and gently massaged his hand. She sighed wondering what was going on.

Taker entered the breakfast room immediately noticing Michelle,

He walked over to her sitting opposite, "Hey" He looked at her as she smiled, "Babe what's going on" ? She asked wondering what Taker would do, He shook his hand, "To be honest I have no idea, I do love you but I also am deeply in love with my wife Sara and I don't know what to do, I cant choose one of you and I cant reject one of you so I have no option really" Michelle agreed and they sat in silence for the rest of the morning.

Later that day SMACKDOWN

The match had gone really well, Kane vs. Batista.

Kane had out strength Batista all match but then Batista would come back with a spear, "Wow" ! Kane yelled as some guy entered the ring and just stood there staring wide eyed at The Big Red Machine.

Kane was confused that no one was doing anything to stop him.

This match was a 'call it out there' type of match meaning the two wrestlers would discuss which moves to do next whilst in the ring.

When Kane had seen the guy who had shaved brown hair and piecing blue eyes dressed in a white shirt and jeans along with trainers.

Kane had forgot that he had told Batista to go for a spear so he was taken off guard when his body hit the apron hard, 1,2,3 - IT'S OVER !

The match had ended and Batista had won but he was confused because him and Kane hadn't even got to the point yet where the match was ending so he wondered for a moment if he had injured Kane. He couldn't check on him there and even if he was injured he couldn't do anything to help so he simply left the ring and headed to the back. Kane had been hit with brutal force which had really taken the breath out of him, For one he had forgot it was coming so he hadn't taken the move like he should of instead he was just taken straight out. He also made his way to the back after looking around for the guy wondering is security had caught him and kicked him out.

"What the hell happened out there man" Batista said as Kane approached, "Did you see that guy" ? Kane asked pointing back out to the ring. Batista shook his head, "What guy" ? He asked wondering what he hell Kane was talking about. "Some guy, you didn't see him" ?

Batista shook his head walking away not having a clue what Kane was going on about. Kane racked his brain as he went to his locker room.

Sara had watched the show from the hotel room whilst she packed her and Kane's things away so that he could leave and head off to the next arena. She didn't know if he would be taking her with him or not.

She was worried when Kane looked as if the match ended wrong and it made her curious why he was acting so odd that day.

Kane walked in and raised his eyebrows, "You ready" ? He said laughing, "Think so" She chuckled, He could see she was just trying to occupy her mind so she wouldn't think about Taker.

"Uh, Kane am I riding with you or not because I totally don't have to, I can rent or hitch a lift or you know whatever It's all okay"

He grabbed his bag and hers, "C'mon" He guided her down to the parking lot to his truck. He then saw Taker and Michelle hugging before they got into Taker's car, Kane didn't take his eyes off him as he stored his and Sara's luggage in his boot.

Sara was standing outside the truck, Taker turned his head and saw Kane sighing he got out that was after he gave Michelle a kiss and told her where he was going, Kane closed the car boot and tossed the keys to Sara telling her to get in. He met Taker half way, "I don't think you should talk to her now, I mean she's spent all day trying to get you out of her mind and if you go and talk to her then she will break down and I really don't want that to happen again" Kane said making sure he got the point across. "Okay Kane, Just let her know that I love her okay"

Taker waited for Kane's reaction which he got, "How can you stand there and say that, You are screwing around behind her back and now you say you love her, so what's Michelle … Meat for you to eat when your hungry on tour" ? Taker connected with a right hand to Kane's jaw which he quickly regretted, "Damn, Kane I'm sorry Okay, I didn't mean that" He tried to apologize but only received a stuff shot to his left eye which would later form a dark, purple bruise.

"Don't EVER loose it with me Mark, It's not me who is fucking around and making a women break down every 5 minutes, It's you so tonight when your riding down to the arena think of what Sara is going through and hopefully you will realize how much time your wasting with Michelle and how much your throwing away and also just how stupid you are" ! Kane said shaking his head and walking back to the truck.

Taker thought hard about what Kane had said to him, He looked at Michelle who was sleeping in the passengers seat, "Oh man"

He was stuck with what to do, should he stay with Michelle or Sara ?

He didn't know and he needed help with it.

Everyone arrived at the arena early the next morning and were told we're to go. Vince McMahon was holding a meeting for all superstars.

Once everyone was seated he began, Kane sat in the front row next to Sara. Taker was 2 rows back and to the far left of Kane, He was with Michelle and he had acknowledged Kane by nodding to him when he arrived which Kane had returned.

Half way through the meeting the door opened and in walked the same guy that was in the ring the night before with Kane, Who was he

Did Kane know him, Was he new ? Kane didn't have a clue.

"K.A.N.E" The letters were spelt out slow and each letter lasted a long while. Kane sat there leaning forward looking at this guy who had to be around the 6 foot 8 mark. "KANE, KANE, KANE" The guy yelled this out at Kane, The tone was ear piecing and creepy, Kane looked at him jumping when the shouting began, "Who are you"

The weird thing was no one in the room even glanced at this guy but when Kane asked his question all eyes were on Kane.
