Chapter 4- Raw

The locker room was full of worry.

No one has come into the arena with me when I arrived. No one even bothered to ask me of where the monster I possessed was. It's all for the best, after tonight, Stephanie and Hunter will be put on notice. I felt back though. It will be at Kane's expense.

In the hours before Raw, I found Randy Orton and the Shield keeping a very close eye on me. Luckily, the locker room respected my request to keep their distance. Orton began to tease and taunt me. "Ooo I see your big scary monster. I am certainly going to have nightmares tonight!"

I chose to ignore him for now. When Shield got involved it became less bearable. "An army of monsters. Never believe a writer. They will say anything to look big and powerful. Or at least to sell a few more books." Laughed Dean.

"She should have just gone home than to show up." Said Roman.

"Hey, I'd like to take on this beast!" laughed Seth.

"Hey, Hounds of Justice. Should you be out licking your own bones or something?"

The three turned and glared at me. "Why you little…"

"Whoa boys. Kane will do far worst to her than what we would do now." Said Orton. "Let's see her sink tonight, Kane's pissed off too. It's going to be good."

The four left me alone, with a sigh of relief, I began to consider what I was about to do tonight…

#

The Main Event.

Stephanie and Triple H were ringside. Kane stood in the middle of the ring, waiting for my monster and I to step out. I made my way out to the ramp Standing alone as Kane's eyes stared upon me. Stephanie and Hunter laughed until I reached into my jacket pocket.

In hand was a piece of artwork of one of my many creatures. I tossed to the left side of the ramp. The picture began to smoke. The crowd cheered as the ploom if smoke thickened and rose into a very concise formation. It shot upward as the light flashed about it. Through the brightness of the stage, a body began to appear and emerge. A talon hand broke through the mist. Two powerful hands bashed down on the ramp way causing the smoke to suddenly stop. When it cleared, he stood.

Slowly, the creature stretched himself out. He could stand nearly as tall as Kane, after he snapped his neck from side to side. His eyes opened. Serpent eyes took in the arena, but then, they turned to me. "You are to face the man who stands in the ring. Give it your all, but not enough to bring great harm to him." I said gently.

The creature nodded as he turned to stare at the ring. A forked tongue escaped past his lips. Slowly, he made his way down. I took the mic in hand and said. "Stephanie, Hunter, Kane. Meet Serpentine. If you have read my books, you'll know what he is, as well as what he can do."

I followed Serpentine to the ring, all the while marveling at how well he came together. He has black scales from his elbow down to the tips of his talons. His face mainly covered but showed enough to reveal his eyes and mouth. Black veins protruded out from his skin, constantly pumping black liquid through them. He wore torn broken in jeans, yet his upper body remained exposed. I marveled as the scales on his back combined with stray veins to make it appear like a tree's shadow inching down his spine. When he entered the ring, he only focused on Kane.

Kane sneered at the sight of him. "Let's see what kind of monster you are." And struck. Serpentine took a blow across his jaw, instantly setting it off and making it appear it was broken. Kane smiled to his work, however was quick to witness why Serpentine wasn't howling in pain. He easily corrected his jaw line, but to show off, he dislocated his jaw and stretched it out as far as it could. If anything, he appeared he could swallow Hornswoggle in one mouth full if given the chance. He reset his jaw and smiled before returning a strike.

Serpentine however doesn't hit as hard as you make think. He struck Kane in the shoulder only once, only making Kane teetered a little. He looked to his shoulder and found a very small black dot. Kane didn't think much of it, until he was struck again, in the other arm. Many times Serpentine would hit areas, leaving only a small black dot in its wake. The blows were stiff and made Kane only moved back a step or two, none were strong enough to knock him down.

It went on for five minutes, until Serpentine stopped. He stepped back and waved for Kane to come at him. Stephanie could he heard, yelling. "Take him out, now!"

Kane smiled, he was about to take a step forward when he froze in place, his arms and legs stiffen. The little black dots spread into veins, engulfing his arms and spreading fast. Kane stared at Serpentine with a disbelief look in his eyes. He tried so hard to move yet couldn't. I cringed when Kane hit the mat and tried to get up again. Serpentine however hovered above Kane and stayed in his sights. "I was asked not to harm you. I will honor that request." With ease, he turned Kane over onto his back and was about to go for the pin. Serpentine however slid out of the ring as the Shield came in through the crowd. He backed away and returned to my side.

"Perhaps we need to finish this another time." I said to him. "Let him go."

I watched the pulse come from Serpentine's arms, the black veins gave off a strange surge, Kane gasped and sat up with ease once more. He inspected his arms and found the veins were gone, but he turned back and stared at me. Stephanie got into the ring and demanded an explanation. "What did you do to him?" she said.

I didn't bother to answer her. It's not likely she would believe me anyway.
