To Amber's surprise she just had 'normal' dreams for the next few days. She was in the void when she felt solid ground below her feet. She dropped to her knees because of the sudden change. She opened her eyes looking around. "No not here…Please let me be wrong." She knew she wasn't though when she recognized the night time city street. She was only a few blocks from where Daniel was killed. She looked around she did not see herself or him. It was not like the car accident where she viewed it after the fact.
"Amber come on already!" Her head shot around to see Daniel was in front of her. She wanted to smile, but she knew there was no point. She ran to try to catch up with him, but froze in her tracks seeing someone coming up behind him. She tried to open her mouth but nothing came out in time. She could only watch as the hooded man grabbed Daniel demanding money. Even after he handed the wallet over he was still stabbed. She quickly tried to move hiding behind some trash cans fishing for her phone calling for help. Come on this is just a dream…a horrid dream wake up…please wake up…
Before she could get the phone to her ear she felt a large hand grab her wrist pulling her out from hiding. She screamed trying to fight them off. The touch almost felt searing to her skin "Come here you!" He yelled pulling her closer to him. She was almost dragged into an alcove between two of the buildings. He had her pinned by the throat against the wall. She could not make out his features with the hood covering his face. "Oh I am going to enjoy this alright." She tried to shake her head he was trying to mimic Taker's voice again.
"You're not him." She barely choked out. "Who are you?" With her question passing her lips she barely managed a scream feeling cold metal piercing her flesh.
"How would it have been if the cut was just a little deeper?" He said with a sadistic laugh pushing the metal even more into her skin. Causing her eyes to grow wider. "As for who…" His tone shifted to it's true self. "I think you know."
"Kane…" She squeezed out a lump in her throat a mix of fear & him cutting her air supply.
"Yes…" He issued a cold laugh in her ear. "Your pain & fear only fuels me. Makes me stronger." She closed her eyes trying to let her head fall forward.
Taker please hear my call…I…I can no…not fight him al…alone…
"Trying to play dead my dear." He pulled the dagger back out causing another scream. "See I knew you were only playing…trust me I would know."
"Demon of blood I expect nothing less…who are you really though?" She cringed feeling light headed from the decreased oxygen & now increased blood loss. She thought she actually saw a hint of confusion in his normally rage filled face.
"I am KANE!"
"Wh…who where you bo…born…as?" He shook his head dropping her causing her to crumble into a heap at his feet. He raised his hands to his head the dagger still clutched in one screaming himself the question pounding into his head like a drill. What did she mean?
"Stop it…stop it…I am Kane…I am Kane…" He growled a snarl on his face as he went to reach for her again on the ground to see if she had sub come yet to the damage. Before he could get a hold of her though a large bolt of energy struck him in the side tossing him away from her. He growled as he started to pick himself up from the ground.
"I wondered when you would show your face brother." Kane brushed himself off seeing Taker now standing near were he just was. He started to laugh staring into Taker's demonic face. "You really think you can protect her…you think she could love something like you?"
"I know she does Kane." Taker kept his eyes on Kane as he knelt down next to her. One of his hands carefully felt for a pulse. A faint feeling of relief as a faint one was felt under his touch. He leaned closer to her eyes still never breaking contact with his brothers eyes. "Relax…remember this is in your mind. I have you now."
"So…so we…weak…so…co..cold." Barely came from her lips. Taker gave a faint growl lifting his head back towards Kane.
"I have no time for your games…she is off limits…" A gesture with his hand surrounded Kane in a cage created of the energy Taker hurls like lightning. Taker then picked her up in his arms vanishing from Kane's sight. It was only a few moments later the cage vanished as well.
"We shall see about that dear brother…we shall see in deed. If she even makes it this night." He laughs again as he vanishes from this dreamscape.
