Chapter 2: Raging Demon

Beep, Beep, Beep

Kane awoke has he winced from pain. Color, lights, sound all exploded into him, as if someone took a hammer and whacked him in the head. Taking deep breaths as his vision slowly returned to him. Daniel Bryan his friend and tag team partner sat in a chair beside him looking tired. "Kane, hey man you're awake let me get a nurse for you. Hang tight," he said quickly getting to his feet. He left to grab a nurse as Kane was now left alone.

He scanned the hospital room he was in, realizing Sam was not in the room with him. The World Heavy Weight Champion belt laid near his bed, yet no Sam. Closing his eyes as he tried to remember what exactly happened. Obviously, he won the match hence he had the title with him. So, why wasn't Sam around? Maybe Daniel forced her to go home to get some sleep, Sam would stay by his side all night if someone didn't tell her to go home and rest. Yet, something didn't feel right, something was off, he just couldn't put his finger on it.

A doctor and nurse came in with Daniel as the doctor looked over Kane. "Hello, Mr. Jacobs, how are you feeling?" asked the doctor.

"I'm fine," Kane replied dryly.

"Can you tell me your full name?" asked the doctor.

"Kane Thomas Jacobs," he told the doctor.

"Good, good, well your test results came back, no major problems. Should be able to get back to work soon. Just get plenty of fluids and rest, I'll bring your dismissal papers," the doctor said as he led the nurse away, leaving the room.

"Hey man, that's great no major injuries, really great," Daniel said, yet Kane noticed he looked nervous about something.

"Daniel, where is Sam? Did you force her to go get some rest?" Kane asked.

At the mention of Sam Daniel went paler than a ghost. "Sam, uh well, what do you remember during your match with Seth?" Daniel asked gently.

Kane's eyes narrowed as he replied, "What does my match have to do with Sam? Where is she Daniel?" He slowly getting to his feet anger rising.

"Kane buddy, calm down okay breathe?" Daniel said trying to get the Big Red Machine to sit down.

"I'll calm down when you tell me where my wife is?" Kane hissed.

"That's just it, Kane, no one knows where she is," Daniel told him sinking back into the chair.

"What do you mean no one knows where she is?" Kane asked his voice deep and menacing.

"Kane after you defeated Seth, someone attacked you. Sam tried to help you out, but the person um they, he well," Daniel said unsure how to tell his friend what happened.

"What did they do to her?" Kane asked as he was seeing red.

"They knocked her out with some dust or powder of some kind, she fell unconscious. Then you tried to save her but were hit with the belt and choke slammed to the floor. Once you were out cold, the person took Sam, ran off, and no one has seen them since," Daniel explained. Though once he saw Kane, he wished he shut up.

Kane's face was demonic as he stood up grabbing his clothes, as he ripped the hospital gown off putting his street clothes on. "Kane, Kane calm down man, hey Kane!" Daniel yelled trying to keep up. Kane rushed past hospital staff everyone, as he headed to the parking lot. "Kane, hey come on man wait up," Daniel called.

"Out of my way Daniel!" Kane yelled.

"Kane, your truck isn't here, how you going to get anywhere? Walk? Hitchhike? Let me drive you to where you want to go okay? Sam will literally kill me if anything bad happened to you," Daniel told him.

Kane stared down Daniel took a deep breath and asked, "Anywhere I want to go?" he asked.

"Yeah man, anywhere," Daniel promised him.

"Fine take me to the arena, I have people to interrogate," Kane hissed as he followed Daniel to his car.

At the wrestling arena

"I lost my title match, please Mr. Triple H, I want a rematch with Kane tonight. I want my title back!" Seth barked.

"Easy Seth, you'll get your shot. We are still waiting to hear back from the doctors about Kane's condition. Once we get all clear, you will have your match," Triple H assured him. Seth grinned at the idea but before anyone could say more. The door was kicked open as an enraged Kane, burst through the door.

"WHERE'S MY WIFE YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Kane roared as he lunged at Seth. Grabbing him in a choke hold.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Seth wheezed out.

"Kane put him down!" Triple H yelled.

"Get back Hunter, I swear I'll break his damn neck!" Kane yelled back.

"Easy Kane, let's all calm down, look we saw the footage. Seth as well as I and my wife, have nothing to do with Sam's disappearance. We give you our word," Triple H assured him.

"LIAR! YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT! I HAVE A MATCH WITH YOUR GOLDEN BOY, WIN THE MATCH. THEN SOME ASSHOLE ATTACKS ME AND ABDUCTS MY WIFE. AND YOU TWO HAVE NO IDEA WHO IS RESPONSIBLE! BULLSHIT!" Kane roared. His grip tightened on Seth's throat, making him wheeze and gasp for air.

"Where is she, I swear if you laid a fingernail on her, I will kill you," Kane hissed in Seth's ear.

"I…didn't…touch…her. I…swear…I …. had…nothing…to…do…with…. the…attack…promise," Seth wheezed out. His face now almost a deep purple.

"Kane let him go, you'll kill him", Triple H said. "Look you were supposed to have your victory then today Seth was supposed to come out to the arena, demand a rematch. Then we would make one at the next paper view. We had no intentions of kidnapping Sam. I give you, my word. We have the footage of your match; I'll show you that we had nothing to do with it" Triple H said.

"Kane come on man let Seth go, this won't help you find Sam," Daniel said.

Kane eyed Triple H as he spoke, "If I find out you are lying, I will beat the holy hell at of you and your golden boy," Kane vowed as he released Seth. Seth began coughing and wheezing as the air returned to his lungs. Triple H put his hands up as he slowly played the footage of the match between Seth and Kane.

The footage played as the match was shown clear as day. Kane was in the ring with Seth competing as Sam sat in the announcer's booth with J.R and the King. It showed Kane winning the match as Sam leapt up smiling proudly at her husband. Sam joining him in the ring as he held the title, wrapped an arm around her, kissing her deeply. Suddenly the lights dimmed as a man wearing Kane's old wrestling gear stood in the ring. Kane's face was shocked upon seeing the imposter. The Imposter Kane attacked the real Kane as Sam scrambled out of the ring to find something to help Kane out. She pulled out a steel chair as she entered the ring again. He saw her attack the Imposter, mouthing some words, clearly saying "Who the hell are you?"

That's my girl, Kane thought proudly seeing Sam try to help him. Yet his smile faded as the imposter blew some powder or dust at Sam. The country girl began to stumble as she fell to the mat. He saw himself yelling Sam's name trying to get to her. Only for the imposter to grab the belt and hit him in the face. Causing him to stumble as the imposter grabbed him by the neck, finally choke slamming him to the ground. Then the tape revealed the imposter grabbing Sam and running off with her.

"Why did no one stop him?" Kane demanded once the footage was done playing.

"We all thought it was part of the story, it wasn't until Daniel Bryan called us saying no one could find Sam and that she wasn't at the hospital. Then you came in here and confirmed something was up," Triple H explained.

Kane breathed deeply eyeing the man his anger reaching new heights. "What do you plan on doing in finding Sam?" Kane asked.

"Well, right now we'll talk to the police, go over all the footage and see who this bastard is," Triple H said. "As of now, I'll give you some time off to cool your head, and" he began.

"I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE TILL I FIND SAM!" Kane yelled. Getting in Triple H's face his body shaking with rage.

"Kane, calm down, don't do anything stupid. We'll find Sam and fine I'll give you a match but next week. This week you are to take some time off, if you go off and harm anyone, I will be forced to suspend you," Triple H warned.

"Fine, I'll leave, but if you hear anything," Kane said.

"We will call you immediately," Triple H promised. Kane nodded as he stalked out of the room, with Daniel behind him.

Who could have stolen his gear and taken Sam? Where was she? Was she okay? Was she hurt? Questions raged in his mind as his only thought was getting Sam back and killing whoever took her from him. His thoughts immediately went to Paul Bearer and The Undertaker. Yet, his brother was the one who basically knocked some sense into Kane to pursue Sam. Why would he suddenly kidnap her after a match with Seth? Paul Bearer on the other hand, loved ruining his life, maybe he hired someone to abduct Sam, just to have the two brothers turn on each other? Kane didn't know the answers all he knew was Sam was gone and he needed to get her back. The trailer he and Sam shared was in his sights. "I need some time alone," he told Daniel, who was still following him.

"Yeah, sure man, I'll be around if you need anything," Daniel said as he headed back to the locker room. Kane opened the door, seeing their bed, small table where they would eat meals together. Their wedding picture in clear view. He pulled it from the wall staring at it, Sam's gentle smile greeted him, as she leaned against his chest. He remembered that day so vividly.

Some time ago

Kane stood in the locker room, wearing an all-white suit. Much like the one he wore on his and Lita's wedding. "I should have worn black; Sam was fine with it. Please let this go right," he begged. A knock was heard as a young man appeared before Kane. He had dark tan skin, a few inches shorter than Kane, yet a very muscular build, wild blue eyes, with short crew cut brown hair. Wearing a similar white suit, this was Sam's oldest brother Jason.

"Hey man you ready for the big day, Mom's helping Sam look all beautiful for you," he said with a wink.

"This is a mistake; I can't do this to Sam. She deserves better, I must stop this," Kane said getting up.

"Hey man, you are just getting cold feet, Sam loves you, you love her. Don't be stupid and break her heart, because if you do that my brothers and father will have to kill you. We just got off probation man," Jason said in a joking yet serious tone.

"You don't understand relationships and me, never go well. They always end in disaster, I hurt Sam once, I know I'll just hurt her again. That's what I do," Kane argued.

"Okay, you could do that but here before you do, sit down for just a moment," Jason said. Kane eyed him yet sat down. "Now close your eyes and picture Sam," he instructed.

"What will this do?" Kane asked.

"Just do it," Jason snapped. Kane rolled his eyes yet closed them as he pictured Sam.

There she was her warm smile gracing her lips. Those warm chocolate brown eyes, staring at him, making his heartbeat rapidly, all he wanted to do was to reach out and hold her.

"You are picturing her?" asked Jason.

"Yes," Kane replied, eyes still closed.

"Now tell me what you feel when you see her," Jason said.

"Happy, safe, wanted, loved," Kane told him.

"Good now, picture her with someone else," Jason instructed. Kane couldn't do that, his hands formed fists at the mere sight of another man touching Sam. Kissing her, making her laugh, no, no, he couldn't picture losing Sam. Kane leaped up almost punching a wall.

"Damn you are overprotective," Jason chuckled.

"What was all this supposed to accomplish?" Kane questioned now glaring at him.

"My dad told me, when you truly found the one you love, picturing them not in your life, causing you to do what you just did, means it's real love," Jason said. "How you are acting, I acted similar on the day of my wedding. I was just a simple country boy, thought my wife could do better. Yet picturing her with someone else made my blood boil. So, I made sure to work my butt off and be the best husband I could be," he explained.

"Well how do you know, I'm not some abusive asshole," Kane asked.

"Easy you're still breathing. If you ever did lay a hand on Sam not only would she kick your ass, but she would also call us to kick your ass. Remember that one loser she was with Justin?" Jason asked.

"Oh yeah," Kane replied remembering how he almost killed the man for harming Sam.

"Just do your best man, Sam isn't expecting you to be perfect, just to love her and treat her right," Jason told him.

"I do love her, okay let's do this," Kane said now smiling. He headed to the ring, as a preacher was waiting. The wedding march song was playing as three young girls, Sam's nieces wearing little white dresses tossing white rose petals on the ground. Three little boys, Sam's nephews in white tuxes walked with the girls one carrying the rings. They stood by the ring as Sam's brothers and their wives walked down the aisle around the ring. As the eldest nephew gave the rings to Jason. Next came an elderly man, Sam's father escorting Sam wearing a simple white dress, and sandals, looking like an angel.

Kane's mouth dried as he stared at the woman coming towards him, he couldn't help but smile. Sam's dad helped her into the ring, as he placed Sam's hand into Kane's hand.

"Dearly beloved, we are here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. If anyone has any objections please speak now or forever hold your peace," said the priest. Kane looked all around expecting some idiot to ruin his and Sam's day yet fearing Sam may object. She only squeezed his hand smiling at him. After a few moments, the wedding continued, as the priest spoke again. "The couple have written their own vows, the bride wishes to go first," the priest said.

"Kane, when we first met, I didn't think that chance meeting would lead to this. I heard all the rumors and seen all the destruction you caused. Yet, I see a softer side to you as well. You make me feel safe, happy, and loved. You are honest with me, I respect that so much, I know you had a tough life. I know I am not perfect, but I promise to be the best wife to you, to love you. Support you when you need me, be patient, and understanding. I love you Kane and I vow to make the rest of your life full of happy memories, and to vanquish the hard times you had," Sam said a tear down her face.

Kane was stunned, he had no idea what to say. His vows left his brain upon hearing Sam's words. So, sincere, and honest, man he loved this woman.

"Sam, I am a monster, for so long I hurt people, terrorized them, and enjoyed every minute of it. I thought I had killed my humanity so long ago yet meeting you. My heart began to beat again, I felt more alive being with you then I ever did on my destructive path. When I broke up with you the first time, I tried to move on, tried to forget you, yet you were always in the back of my mind, then you came back, I had a second chance, Sam, I am far from perfect, I have a temper, I get jealous, yet I love you with every fiber of my being. I promise to love you, protect you, and will do my best to never hurt you or make you cry. I love you Sam, you are my angel," Kane told her.

Sam had happy tears down her face, as she smiled at him. "Kane, do you take Sam to be your wedded wife? In sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, till death do you part?" asked the priest.

"I do," Kane said.

"Sam, do you take Kane to be your wedded husband? In sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, till death do you part?" asked the priest.

"I do," Sam said nodding her a big smile on her face.

"Then I pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss the bride," said the priest. Jason gave the the rings, as Kane slipped Sam's ring on her finger. Tears fell from her face, yet a smile graced her lips as she slipped the ring on his finger. Sam stood up on her tiptoes as Kane leaned down wrapping his arms around her waist. Picking her up as he kissed her on the lips. The crowd cheered as her family applauded, celebrating with the happy couple.

Tears fell down Kane's face as he held the picture. "I'll find you Darlin, I swear and whoever took you from me is a dead man," he hissed.

Suddenly his foot kicked something. Leaning down, he saw an unfamiliar object on the floor. Picking it up his face paled upon seeing the pregnancy test, even more shocked seeing the two pink lines. "Oh my god, oh my god," Kane said unable to believe his eyes.

Now it all made sense, why Sam wasn't feeling well. She was pregnant, this is what she wanted to talk to him about. His joy turned to rage as well as fear. Not only did this Imposter kidnap Sam, but also their unborn child. Kane's eyes turned deadly, as he was hell bent on getting his wife and child back. It was time to bring the wrath of Satan down on the person who kidnapped his family, and they would pay in blood.

To be continued….
