CHO 10
Lita was woken by a muffled scream by her side. When she looked at Jason this one was completely terrified and sweating as if he had a fever.
"Jason! Jason! Calm down son…" She screamed trying to control Jason who was throwing punches and kicks everywhere.
A nurse came in to try and stabilize the boy, but he proved to be surprisingly strong as he pushed the nurse away. In a state of complete panic Jason sat up and felt an uncomfortable sensation in his throat. He placed his hands over his mouth to find what felt like a tube. He felt completely terrified now.
Out of pure desperation, Jason got a hold of the tube with both hands and started pulling it out. His mother was standing up to see what was happening but Jason had pulled the whole tube out already. As soon as the tube was out Jason got off from bed trying to walk out of the place but fell to the floor incredibly weak and started to throw up as Lita came to his side to try and keep him from falling into his own waste. She had a handkerchief that she used to clean Jason's sweat from his face as she blew some air to his face to keep him from getting even dizzier than he already was.
"It's ok Jason… It's ok. I'm here now." Lita said while she was helping her son steady.
The nurse came to them to help Lita take Jason to the bed again. Once in bed Jason intended to close his eyes but he suddenly opened them again.
"Mom, mom…? Where's Kane?" Jason's voice had change, and even though part of it was because of the tube and the anesthesia, he felt something was wrong; something was different.
"What?" Lita asked in shocked that he would ask about Kane that fast.
Jason took the sheets off him observing himself. His legs were longer; his hands looked bigger, and…
Oh, no. He thought.
"No, no… no…" He said trying to keep calm. "No… no, no, no… Mom..?" He said as he kept looking the changes that his body suddenly suffered.
He looked at her only to find her eyes full with tears that she denied to let out.
"Mom, what happened to me?" He said fighting tears of his own. "It's impossible! The… the doctor said that the attacks themselves couldn't… couldn't do something as big as this. The brain ma… matter and, and all the other things…" He paused as he started to mumble trying to speak, but no words came out.
The nurse was at the left side of Jason's bed fighting her own tears as Lita held Jason tightly in her arms and let her silent tears out, yet Jason couldn't comprehend anything. He's mind was completely lost, and he couldn't organize any of his thoughts. His face was completely emotionless as his mother kept her hold on him, remaining strong regardless of the situation.

After some minutes both of them were calmed, but both of them had things running wild on their minds. Lita was thinking about her son first of things, about how were they going to deal with this. They were now practically alone since Edge never came back to their side, never went to see Jason at the hospital.
Will the attacks be even tougher than this one? Will they keep getting worse and worse? How much time does Jason has? Can we stop this? Is it even a sickness? What is this? And what about Kane, how the hell did he meet Jason? Why does he suddenly care about him? Why he suddenly cares about any of this? What if he suspects? What if he gets to know the truth…?
On the other hand Jason was still thinking about that nightmare he had.
What the hell was that all about? Why Kane in the first place, as if he wasn't terrifying as it is. What did that thing meant by changing? What the hell did it meant by "I'm you!"?...
"Excuse me." Their thoughts were interrupted as the doctor that first attended him came to the room. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but Dr. Smith called and he's on his way here. I just wanted you to let you know."
Jason and Lita just nodded as they try to catch back their train of thought.
"So, how are you feeling today son?" He asked.
"Older, wasted, bitter… Practically like crap." Jason said.
Lita didn't told him a thing; she just simply grabbed his hand and gave him a little squeeze to let him know to try and not be so rough. Jason relaxed.
"Temperature's fine. Cardiovascular status seems fine…" The young doctor said as he checked on the monitors behind Jason. "Well, I leave you two here, but don't hesitate to call me immediately if anything happens." And with that he went out of the room.
"Jason he was the one who practically saved you live. I know how're you feeling J, but you got to try and get it together." She said.
Jason didn't say anything, he just nodded.
"What day is it mom?" He asked looking at her.
The question took Lita by surprise by how fast his change of mood was.
"It's Monday." She said.
"Wait Monday as, we're stuck in the same Monday?" He asked curiously.
"No, Monday as in one week has passed."
"Aww, man! I already started losing a week. Great!" He said, getting angry, but his mood change quickly once again. "You missed work."
"That's the less important thing right now Jason." She said slightly smiling at him. "I brought you some books, a sketchbook and your PSP; thought you might need them."
"You are brilliant." He said, in his weak tone of voice making her slightly laugh.
She was completely tired, and she couldn't hide it do to her bloodshot eyes. Jason didn't have the same effect but he was tired as well. Those attacks literally took the life away from him. Even though, he was thankful he was unconscious through the whole deal. He didn't felt the horrible pain he'd felt before.
Jason looked straight ahead staring into nothing as he thought and thought about that dream. It looked so real to him. He could still smell the burnt flesh and the fresh blood and that evil laugh, but what terrified him more was the guy behind the look alike of Kane. He looked terribly familiar, but he just couldn't guess from where, not yet…
"Jason, are you ok?" Lita asked when she saw him frowning in deep concentration and his eyes wide open.
"Huh? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." He replied.
"Want me to put RAW? It's practically about to start." She asked.
"Yeah sure."
As soon as the TV was on they watched some matches; some good, some bad. RAW was pretty full that night. Jason and Lita were on Florida and the WWE had already move on from there.
After the commercial Edge song burst loud, as Jason and Lita both looked toward the TV. There were some boos and some "Edge rocks!" from the audience. One could say that the audience there was pretty balanced.
"Bastard!" They both said when Edge came out bragging as usual. The fact that they said it at the same time made them laugh.
As soon as Edge was inside the ring, the place went crazy when a heavy rock song started to play and flames burst out from up the ramp. Kane went out ready to roll putting his trademark sadistic smile. Edge eyes were wide open in fear as he went outside the ring with the referee calling him back in.
But Edge wasn't the only one who looked scared. Back in the room, Jason was looking directly to the monitor the whole time since Kane went down that ramp. His eyes were wide open and he was holding the sheets as if a strong wind was going to make them go.
Lita was looking at the monitor too, maybe not like Jason was but she concentrated about how Edge was going to deal with Kane now. In her imagination she could actually visualize Kane in flames. She knew Kane got angry when he saw her bruise on her cheek. Why? She didn't know. He had tombstone her before, so a bruise didn't seem like a big deal for her compared to that. And after what happened between him and Jason… He thought Edge was the father, and yet Edge never showed up to visit, like if he didn't care. Yes he did call to check on them but that was pretty much it.
Edge got back in the ring to start the match but as soon as the bell rang he ran out of the ring and Kane right on his track. Edge got back in, and when Kane went back to the ring Edge started kicking him, but Kane was so enraged that those kicks didn't have much effect on him as he simply pushed Edge who fell butt first to the mat. Edge got up only to receive an upper-cut that send him down again. He got up again and Kane locked him in a corner as he started pounding Edge viciously. Kane walked back a few steps only to run towards Edge for a clothesline but Edge stepped out of his way just in time for Kane to connect with the steel post. Then Edge took the opportunity and with some help from the ropes he kicked Kane's ribs, who fell knees first to the mat; another vicious kick from Edge to the fallen giant and another, and another, until he was outside the ring.
A few seconds later the ref started the count:
"One… two… three…" He went on while Edge smiled at the pissed off monster that could rip his smile off. Cockiness, sometimes not the best characteristic…
Kane sat up on three and continued his way to the ring. Edge tried to kick him once again but Kane caught his leg and dragged Edge onto the steel post hitting this one's right leg with it a few times.
Kane got himself disqualified. Not like he cared. He just wanted to give Edge a lesson that even if he forgot, could last a few weeks. He went into the ring, chair in hand and started giving Edge a little bit of taste of Hell with it. Edge's head started to bleed, but that wasn't all. The referees went crazy trying to stop the giant. After Kane was done with the steel chair he bent down and started choking Edge. The cameras got closer and Jason and Lita could see Kane saying something like "If you dare touching her again I'll kill you!."
Lita had to blink a few times to what she just saw. At that time she knew that Kane was really angry for what happened to her, and that what she thought, wasn't just part of her imagination running wild. She didn't want any part of it.
She turned the TV off as soon as she could at the sight of seeing Edge like that. He might be a jackass but she still loved him, or so she thought. Right now she didn't know what she was feeling. Sadness, desperation, love, confusion… So many emotions and feelings in her head right now.
"What?" Jason asked after she turned the TV off. "Oh." He said looking away from her remembering how Edge was left. The weird thing was that he was enjoying it, and so was I. Thought he kind of felt angry at Kane because of Kane doing what he was going to do, but well…
