Chapter 4- Clues- Kane
We went back to the hotel after that incident, I don't know about Taker. But those men freaked the hell out of me. I don't like being followed; it made me feel as if I am a hunted beast in their sights. As soon as Taker and I stepped into the lobby, Kevin Thorn came to us. "I need to talk to you two, in my room," he whispered.
We followed without question; Kevin brought us into the room when I began to pick up a familiar scent once again. He went into his bag and pulled out a necklace, and odd-looking one. It appeared to be that of a dragon, tied in long bands of metal. "What the hell is that?" Taker demanded.
Kevin sighed aloud. "A pendent of the men who are after you… the Order of Blood and Iron." He explained, I began to see now. The pendent was the same as the symbol on the card from the mall. "My ancestors were once a part of this organization, until they didn't agree with how things were dealt with. None took into consideration if there could still be a human soul inside a body or beast that they view as evil. None saw that. Which is why they left. We were shamed out of the clan and now… well… my grandfather told me of this." He explained.
"What is the order, you never told us that?" I asked.
Kevin sighed aloud. "They were discovered my St. George… well… he was the first of them, and the first mortal man to slay a dragon. The clan has since expanded, they slay demons and vampires. Yet every one of them lives for the chance to live out St. George's greatest accomplishment… to slay a dragon," he explained.
Taker and I paused… dear God, that's why we are being stalked… They want to hunt us! Taker turned to me. "I have to call Sara… I have to warn her" Taker instantly got onto his phone. Kevin stopped him from dialling.
"You will want to wait… they have kept with the times, they could have resources that exceed our own… You need to be careful!"
Taker didn't care; he called and got his wife on the phone. He told Sara to stay with one of his brothers for the time being, something was going down and he wanted her to be safe. Sara agreed and said she was going to leave. He hung up the phone when I decided to do the same.
I called my wife and gave her the same warning. "I cannot say what is going to happen… but I want you to call one of my older brothers. Take the girls and stay there with him ok?" I asked of her.
She was silent as to why I asked her such a thing. "Is it because of the curse?" she whispered.
"It is, I just don't want you to get hurt, please trust me on this" I begged.
She agreed, she understood that I was fearful for her. Yet before she hung up the phone, she put a bug in my ear… something I never expected her to say. I turned off my phone, I couldn't contain my smile… and yet it made me all the more worried. "Kane? What did she say?" Taker asked.
I tried to find the words, and cleared a tear from my eye; I looked to Taker and Kevin… "I'm going to be a father"
