The bed creaked and moaned underneath Kanes weight. He groaned and sat upright, rubbing his aching muscles around his shoulders.

"Definitely going to need a new bed." He looked over at the alarm clock and saw it was close to 11 a.m. Sighing, he got up and put on his sweatpants finding his mask in the process. Kane didn't have any desire to wear it anymore because he trusted Tess. Ever since the night at the hospital, he grew closer to her. Just thinking about her his heart began to beat faster, a feeling that he wasn't too familiar with. Speaking of Tess, Kane noticed her bed undone without her in it. He figured she was downstairs making breakfast. Slipping on some socks, he went to the bathroom and did his buisness. As he looked in the mirror he noticed his eyes were rimmed with black. After being woken up last night from that rush of cold wind, he couldn't go back to sleep. Something felt odd which prevented him from falling asleep, the only thing he did accomplish was twisting and turning all night.

Dragging his large feet across the wood floors, he made his way to the kitchen and was surprised to find that Tess wasn't there. Panic began to set in his gut, the same sinking feeling he had the night before. Trying to calm his breathing he checked the bathroom and the other bedrooms around the house.

Nowhere. Tess was nowhere in sight.

"Tess!" Kane went to the garage, which was open,and didn't find his car there, his keys gone. He walked to the back of the house and found her Harley still there, the helmet hanging from the handle.

"Tess!" He yelled again. His thunder like voice carried and created an echo. It was cloudy out and the regular singing of the birds early in the morning wasn't present. Only the wind through the trees made noise which created a lonely feel.

"Kane? Why are you out here yelling?" Tess stood in the doorway. She looked concerned for Kane especially since he was only wearing sweatpants and it was pretty cool out.

Kane turned around and felt relief flood over his body. He was ready to search the grounds to find her.

"Where in the hell were you Tess?" He suddenly became red with anger, the veins on his arms bulging.

"I went out to the city for a while for some fresh air and why are you yelling at me?" She crossed her arms over her chest and went up to him. He grabbed her arms roughly and shook her.

"Fresh air? There is plenty of fresh air out here Tess! Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Tess tried to pry his hands away but his grip was too strong, his thick fingers were making dents into her arms. She could already feel the bruises forming.

"Killed? What are you talking about? Kane stop! You're hurting me!" Tess was angry at first but now was scared...terrified even. Kane didn't let go, just squeezed harder. She saw his chest move up and down as he breathed wasn't the first time she saw him like this. When she was at the arena for her match one day, she saw a cameraman get too close. It was Kanes bad day and he grabbed the poor guy flinging him across the room. Now it was different, however, this time it was her.

Tess had tears in her eyes and when Kane saw that, his grip loosened,"Oh god...Tess...I didn't mea-"

"Don't get near me!" She wiped her tears and shakily left the garage. As she hopped into the car she remembered it wasn't hers and Kane would need it. Quickly, before Kane could get to her again, Tess went back inside and found her keys to the motorcycle. It was parked in the shed in the back since Kane wanted to drive her everywhere. He was obsessed with keeping her close to him and she didn't blame him but it came to be too much.

Right now she was scared and needed to be as far from Kane as possible. The engine of the motorcycle revved and Kane was seconds late as he watched her speed out of there.

"Fuck!" He ran back inside of the house and got dressed. His keys were still in the ignition so it was easy for him to try to catch up. He didn't mean to hurt her. He was just afraid that Undertaker had gotten her and...

There was no excuse. He hurt her. When he saw the pure fear in her eyes something stirred in him. Tess was the only one who wasn't afraid of him and now he might have pushed her away. Pushed her into danger. Into his brothers arms.


The highway was sort of empty so Tess could easily duck and dodge between cars. Her heart was racing. Her mind replayed the image of Kanes anger and she went faster hoping that it would get her out of this mess.

However Tess didn't see the truck. She didn't notice it slowed down in front of her. It was too late anyway.
