Monster Heart

Chapter Four: Damage Done

Kane hung the phone up and sat back down on the couch beside of CJ.
"Now, maybe we can eat breakfast in peace." Kane said with a slight smile. CJ just smiled. She wasn't sure how she should act. She was still a little shocked at what she had witnessed only moments before.

Kane watched CJ out of the corner of his eye. She was shaking a little as she ate her slice of pizza slowly. He'd scared her, and he actually felt bad about it.

She's beautiful Kane, don't mess this up.

She's young too, and innocent.


Kane shook himself out of his mind. Sometimes thinking was dangerous, the more he thought, the more likely that the bad Kane would free himself. Not that there was really a good Kane in anyone else's eyes, just Evil Kane & Sadistic Kane.

CJ loved pizza, and she loved food. Which was one of the reasons, she believed that she didn't get her dream job.

But after what she witnessed it was hard to swallow, she couldn't shake the look in his eyes, or the sadism in his voice. It made her really uneasy.

Randy ran down the hallway franticly trying to find Mr. McMahon. Instead he found Edge.
"What the hells wrong with you O?" Edge asked.

"Kane tried to kill me man" Randy said his voice was high pitched and squeaky.

"How high are you?" Edge asked. Annoyed.

"I'm sober now man, but he tried to kill me! The girl in there had to pry him off me!"

"Ok now I know your messed up. A girl with Kane? You need to lie down" Edge walked away from Randy shaking his head.

"So, have you been a WWE fan long? Or where you just looking for a ticket to fame?" Kane asked scarfing down another slice.

"Most of my family are big fans. Especially my little brother Riley, he's your biggest fan" CJ laughed, thinking about how mad Riley was going to be when she got home, made her forget about what she had seen.

She and Kane continued to talk back and forth, about random things. Like different superstars, favorite matches, stupid fans, and they would have kept talking if CJ's cell phone wouldn't have rang.

"CORI JENINA JAMESON! Where the hell are you?" CJ jumped as her mother's frantic voice filled the room.

"I stayed in the hotel because of the storm." CJ replied.

Her face blushing red, as Kane chuckled.

"Well them I'm sure you know that the hotel was damaged by the storm. I wish you would have called us CJ. We were all worried sick" Her mother rambled on.

"Ma, I'm fine. Where I am didn't get damaged, I'll be home soon ok?" She rolled her eyes and hung up the phone.

"My mom said the hotel took some damage in the night from the storm." CJ said, she started to get her things together.

Kane frowned. He still wanted to know more about her. He got this great vibe from her, she was confident to a point, but scared too. Not just of him either, but scared in general of a lot of things, mostly insecurities. But she was a pure good person. He could tell. Girls like her were a rare breed.

CJ could feel him watching her. It made her a little uncomfortable, but it made her wander too, she was far from attractive by the WWE standards so why was he staring her down.
She pulled her long brown hair up into a pony tail and smiled at Kane.

"I really gotta be getting home. My mother is freaking out" She blushed.

Kane nodded.

"I'll walk you to your car, incase pretty boy is still outside" He said rather protectively.

"Okay, thanks." She smiled up at him sweetly.

Kane could feel her every emotion. She was pretty easy to read, after she let her shield down.

He pulled on a black t-shirt and opened the door for SJ they walked down the hallway in silence.

CJ was thinking, and Kane was channeling her feelings.

She was sad, nervous, happy and afraid. But there was something there, something familiar yet quite foreign. It was warm and fuzzy like happiness, but deeper and complex. It was almost like…

NO! Kane thought impossible,

CJ felt the butterflies in her stomach flutter as she thought about him more.
She tried to shake off the thoughts, but she couldn't.
She really didn't want to leave.

As the couple approached the lobby, they to see the leftovers from the wrath of the storm, there was water damage to everything, not to mention the great amounts of debris that multiplied as they approached the lobby. Containing everything from foliage and limbs to brick and concrete pieces.

"Wow," CJ said. She was glad that Kane had saved her from the storm.

"Thanks again, you know for everything" She was trying not to sound like a giddy school girl, but she couldn't help it really. Her body was hot, her face blushed and her palms were sweaty.

Kane stopped at the entrance doors.

"You're welcome kid"

CJ felt her heart drop a little. All she was to him was a kid, some poor soul. A pity case. He and his pals would laugh about her later.

Kane sighed as she walked away.

She changed as she walked to the car, she was depressed. Something was wrong. He could tell.

I have to find away to see her again. To get to know her more, to find out her secret.

To have my way with her, to make her mine.

No Damnit. She can help me get rid of you, and she will!

Why would she help you? She's repulsed by you, and scared. To defeat me she has to care, and guess what. She doesn't.

What do you know?

Everything.

Shut up.

MAKE ME.

ASS!


Kane suddenly realized that he was arguing with himself in the hotel lobby, and people were starring at him. He growled at them all and made his way quickly to his room.

AN: Sorry it was short, and the ending is odd.
I'm starting on CH5 now. I'm just not sure how to bring the two of them back together.
Any suggestions are welcome D
I tried to make the conversation with Kane & Himself funny.
I don't know if it worked or not.
Oh well! later.
