Chapter Six – Mysteries Understood
After he finished getting gas, he pulled his truck into an empty parking space at a 24/7 restaurant. While they were waiting for their food, Undertaker went outside to take a call. About 10 minutes later, he came back inside and made his way to the table alongside a chorus of gasps and awestruck gazes, mostly from the women. Most of the looks from the men were looks of mere anger and rage, either because they were fans of his nemesis Stone Cold or because they thought that he had put his hands on his intoxicatingly beautiful companion. Just as he sat down at their table, the waiter appeared with their food and drinks. Right in the middle of their meal two female fans and one male fan interrupted them.
"Aren't you The Undertaker from the WWF?" the first female asked.
"Yes I am, this is my co-worker and I would be happy to sign autographs when we're finished eating, it that's okay with you." Undertaker replied.
"Of course, thank you so much." The second female piped in.
The two female returned to their booth leaving the male fan still standing by Undertaker and Skyla's table.
"Is there something I can help you with?" Skyla asked.
"Well, I noticed the bruises on your arms and I…" he started but was cut off by Skyla when she saw the look on Undertaker's face.
"Now I know what yer' thinkin' and what yer' tryin' to imply and I hate to burst yer' bubble but he…" pointing to Undertaker, "didn't give me these bruises. I got these from wrestling in some of my practice matches."
"I'm sorry to have bothered you then." He replied turning to go.
"Why don't you take this…" she said to him taking a pen out of her purse and signing a clean napkin and handed it to the male fan, "and I would very much appreciate it if you didn't mention this to anyone period, okay."
"Got it, thank you and again I'm sorry for assuming about your bruises." He replied gingerly taking the autographed napkin.
"Yer' welcome and its okay, just ask next time don't assume, okay." She said.
"I will do that." He replied and then returned to his booth.
They finished their meal, Undertaker paid the bill leaving a tip and then signed some autographs and then they got into his truck and headed back onto the highway. When they were about thirty minutes from his father's house, he let her know.
"Does he know you're coming?" she asked.
"Actually he knows that the both of us are coming. I called him right after I got of the phone with Andrew and told my father about our little situation." He replied.
"Andrew called you, what fer'?" she asked a little scared.
"It's alright, Andrew told me what Austin said and I told Andrew that we'll meet up with him three hours before the show at a Carl's Jr. if that's alright with you." He suggested.
"Yeah that's alright with me, but I think just so that Steve doesn't throw a fit and cause a scene you should either show up and hour before us or half an hour after us, if that's cool with you." She replied relaxing.
"That sounds like a plan to me." He said.
"I know this is most likely a stupid question, but what is yer' real name?" she asked as he took the final turn in the road to his father's house.
"It's not a stupid question at all. My real name is Mark Callaway," he replied, "Now Skyla Stone is your real name right or is it just your wrestling name?"
"Skyla is my wrestling name as well as my middle name," she informed him.
"So what about the last name you've got right now, and what's your real name if you don't mind me asking?" he asked nicely.
"There's really no big reason why I chose my last name, except that it just kind of popped into my head while I was doing my training and while I wrestled in the Independent Wrestling Circuit by the name of Alana Sky or Alana Stone. Therefore, I would not be surprised if some of the WWF fans start to remember me when I start wrestlin'…" she replied taking a breath and continued, "Now my real name is Rhayne Skyla-Devis Vadania."
"I like it, it's kind of Gothic and Fantasy." He told her as he pulled the truck into the driveway of his father's house and put it in park, and then turned it off.
"Yeah that's what my parent's were going for when I was born," she informed him, "there really into the Gothic and Fantasy World and wanted a part of that world in their real life world and that's how I got my name."
They unbuckled their seatbelts, climbed out of the truck locking both doors as they did and walked up to the front door. The door opened just as Mark was about to knock. There stood two men, the first one stood 5' 10" and weighed about 250 lbs and had short black hair and brown eyes. The second man stood at 7' 0" and weighed 275 lbs but it was all muscle, which was very evident and had dark auburn curly hair and wore a red and black mask.
"Hello Mark and welcome Rhayne." Paul said.
"How did you know my name?" she asked.
"After I got off the phone with Mark I did a little background check on you, quite the resume it would seem." He informed her as he moved aside to let them in.
He showed them into the living room and let them take a seat wherever they felt like it.
"Forgive me for being so rude, this is my brother Glen, better known as Kane." Mark told Rhayne.
"It's nice to meet ya'." Rhayne said extending her hand out for him to shake.
Kane shook her hand and gave her a nod.
"He doesn't talk much." Mark replied.
"Not to sound rude but how come you did a little background check on me, what exactly are you trying to gain from it and what are you trying to find?" she asked.
"I simply wanted to know what the beautiful new diva that my son has fallen for is capable of." Paul replied.
"Ex…Excuse me?" Rhayne stuttered as Mark's jaw nearly dropped to the floor and his eyes almost bugged out of his head.
"Is that true Mark, and please don't lie to me, I've been lied to enough in my life I really don't need it now." She asked as well as told.
"Yes it's true. I felt something in my heart when I saw you that first night at the top of the stage…" he replied, "what about you, how do you feel about me?"
"Truth is the first night that we bumped into each other and starting talking I felt something in my heart and I knew that I had fallen for you." She told him.
"Um…I hate to cut in but if I remember correctly you two are both here to try to figure something out." Paul said cutting in.
"Oh, that's right." Rhayne said.
"Now Mark here told me the dreams over the phone and I wrote it down word for word and it seems that I have already figured it out…" he started to say before the both of them cut him off.
"Well what do the dreams mean?" they both said in unison.
"It means that you two are meant to be together as a couple, outside of the squared circle as well as inside of it and the dark ceremony is the chosen ceremony to be performed to bind the two of you together." Paul informed them.
"There's no way Austin is going to let that happen and the fans won't be up for it either." Rhayne said.
"Not unless we introduce them slowly into it and then show then what kind of monster Austin really is." Mark said.
"If you think that will be for the best then I'll do it. I still have all my photos of the old bruises. We kind of have a history. So you might as well take pictures of these one's as well and the one under my left eye." She informed them.
"I thought you said that the bruises on your arm came from yer' practice matches." He told her.
"No I told the fan that because one he thought that you gave them to me and two because he was a fan of Austin's, 'cause he was wearing and AUSTIN 3:16 Shirt." She replied.
"So you stood up for the both of us then." He said.
"No I was only stickin' up fer' you. Besides getting bruises in a practice match is something that, that fan would have believed unlike Austin hitting on his own manager." She said.
"You've got a point there." He said.
"Did you get everything that you wanted sorted out?" Paul asked.
"Yes, thank you." Rhayne said.
"No thank you, for getting my son to come out and see his father before his next vacation time." Paul replied giving her a hug.
"Rhayne we should go, since we need to be in Philadelphia no later than Sunday, Monday at the latest." Mark informed.
"Ok, it was nice to meet ya' both." She said to Paul and Kane.
As they headed to Mark's truck, he asked a very important question, "Do you realize that this means I'm going to have to start stalking you?"
"Yes I'm well aware of that and of the fact that it's going to piss Austin off very much but he deserves it after all the hell he's put me through." She replied a little coldly.
"Its okay, lil' one, I promise you I won't let him hurt you." He informed her giving her a hug and then on an impulse he kissed her right on the lips and then pulled away, "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done that.
"No it's alright, I didn't mind one bit." She replied with a smile.
"Come on let's go we've got to meet up with Andrew before the show starts otherwise Austin will have a conniption fit." He said.
"All right." She said.
They arrived in Philadelphia late Sunday night and meet up with Andrew on Monday three hours before the show.
