Monster Heart

Chapter Three: A Glimpse of the Monster

AN: This might be a pretty short chapter. Sorry.

Kane took the pizza box from the boy and waved him away, he then turned around and kicked the door closed, paying no attention to the fact that Randy had caught it and let himself in.

"Kane's got a girl!" He exclaimed.

Kane tossed the pizza box to CJ and glared at Randy.
"Get out."
How dare he walk into my room like he's a god!

"Who might you be pretty lady?" Randy ignored Kane and walked toward CJ.
A sudden sense of danger overwhelmed her. She stood up and backed away from Randy.

"Did the monster kidnap you?" He was making fun of the fear in CJ's eyes. It was apparent in Randy's voice that he was either high or drunk.

"Get Out" Kane repeated stepping toward Randy. He could feel the anger & adrenalin rising.

"How much do you have to pay even a medi-ocre girl to sleep with you Kane?" Randy laughed and stumbled a little .

His words stung CJ. She felt tears swelling up in her eyes.

Kane lunged for Randy's throat.
"You son of a bitch!"
Kane wrapped his hand around Randy's throat.
I'll kill him.

CJ jumped toward them, she could see it in Kane's eyes. He was gonna kill Randy right then and there.
"Kane!" She yelled, as she wrapped her little hands around one of his large arms and tried to pull him away from Randy.
"Let it go! Kane Your gonna kill him!" She cried.
"That's just what I was planning on doing!" Kane's voice was deep and dark, more terrifying than she'd ever heard him on TV.

Randy squirmed he couldn't breathe. He tried to beat Kane in the head with his fists but it was hard to try to breath and fight at the same time.

"Kane stop it!" CJ was screaming and crying now.

Kane felt CJ's little hands tighten around his arm and tug at him. Her touch made his heart pound, he let his grip loosen enough that Randy was able to run away.

Your loosen it man…

Kane took a deep breath.
CJ backed away in fear that the Big Red Monster might turn on her now.

"I…I" She struggled to speak.

"C'mon we should eat the pizza before it gets cold."
CJ was shocked that Kane's demeanor had changed in a split second. She smiled, it would be better if she just played along.

Just as they both reached into the pizza box, the phone rang.

As Kane answered he got a feeling of De Ja Vu.

"I told you" Taker said, sounding very satisfied, almost as if he knew that CJ had been able to get him to let Orton go.

But he couldn't know that, could he?
