Chapter 7- Ashes to ashes

I searched the halls for him. "KANE! KANE!" Screaming his name like a fathers who had lost his child… Oh God why am I using that reference! I know she's after him, Kane buried me alive, and no doubt that was her 'punishment' for him. I cannot let that happen to my friend! "KANE! KANE! ANSWER ME KANE!" I screamed. Yet got no answer, I swore I could hear his voice, I asked everyone in the back if they had see him and no one had … But I recalled something, the parking lot in the back, they are rebuilding part of the arena… dirt had been dug… here! I rushed to the parking lot, the workers have since gone home for the night, but I saw Kane's footprints in the dust. He had been here. I looked about, just as the earth before me shifted and turned! KANE!

I ran into the dirt and dug franticly. "Taker, what the hell are you doing?" demanded Khali who just came to the back.

"HELP ME! KANE IS IN HERE PLEASE!" I begged franticly. Khali didn't question me; he came to my side and told me to stand back. He forced his massive arm into the ground and rocks, he sifted through until his face… his reaction said it all. He turned to me in shock. His other hand went down into the gravel, reaching deeper and deeper. I kept digging my way through when he began to pull with all his strength. I stopped and locked my arms around his waist, pulling Khali up as he pulled. At first I feared we were too late. Yet the hand burst through the soil. Khali screamed aloud as he pulled harder. Kane head came from the earth.

Khali stopped as he allowed Kane to catch his breath, yet kept him in place and supported him above the surface. "Oh God Kane" I cried.

With all his strength, Khali gave one final pull, this time he got Kane all the way out. He was covered from head to toe in soil, breathing heavily trying to regain his breath. "What… happened?" he asked.

"Doesn't matter now friend, we get you inside and medical attention" God bless this giant. He lifted Kane from the ground and carried him inside. I remained out, knowing someone was watching me.

"YOU HAVE SOME NERVE!" I yelled into the night. "STOP THIS NOW! STOP TRYING TO KILL MY FRIENDS!"

The vixen's voice echoed the shadows. "It won't stop… until I get what I want… what I deserve. And you know what that is!"

"No, I won't do it! There's no way in hell I am giving you anything! After all you took from me! The hell you made me endure! NO!" I screamed.

"Then you know who has wronged you? Your giant friend there… he has wronged you greatly…" Khali!

Darting back into the arena, I looked up and down the halls for him, yet found no sign of Khali… it was then something came from behind me… and knocked me out cold with a mire touch…
