Chapter 3- The Blood tells all- Kane
Taker and I watched what little of my blood flow down the steel dagger protector, I was amazed to see images come to life, there we were standing side by side. However we stood in a very dominating poise… something I wasn't too sure about. On our heads seemed to be crowns or something and odd markings on our limbs. "What the hell does this mean?" Taker demanded of me.
"I don't know. I suck at picture graphs!" I replied with a smirk. Taker didn't find it funny. "Sorry"
He rolled his eyes are we continued to watch, my blood twisted and turned as it continued to move down to the tip of the blade's cover. Showing creatures and demons in the shadows, bearing their fangs in anger and an attacking gesture.
"Damn" were the only words that came to my face.
"Damn what?" came a voice. We turned to see Shane McMahon on the rooftop now; he looked at the dagger and was stunned. "Who cut themselves?" he asked.
"Oh… me"
Shane rolled his eyes to me as he continued to look at the cover of the blade. "Shane, what do you see?" Taker asked him.
Shane looked at the blade and squinted his eyes. "Metal covered in blood… why?" he asked. Shane couldn't see the image that Taker and I could.
"Nothing, thanks Shane. And don't worry, I'll be more careful" I promised him. He patted me on the shoulder and walked away.
Taker looked to me oddly. "Perhaps we need to see out others to help us?"
I nodded to the idea. "I wonder how friendly vampires are?" I smirked.
Taker wasn't taking to kindly to the humor. "Get serious Glen, we got to figure this out, hell I don't even know what the hell we are anymore. We crave blood yeah… but we aren't dead, you know?" I totally knew what Taker was talking about. My heart still beats in my chest, and my blood flows warm and pure. There must be something wrong with us. It was decided; we would search out for vampires.
We told no one of this of course, yet didn't know someone was eavesdropping on us when we spoke of it. Strangely enough, Taker and I knew where to look for them. We had searched through the bars of the city when one stuck out like a sore thumb; the power that came from that place was awesome and very vibrant. "Immortals" Taker whispered as we went inside.
Whatever commotion was going on stopped the instantly we stepped foot into the place, it was dark, no lights were on or anything. But we saw just fine. "Heart beaters!" someone hissed to us.
"Insult?" I asked Taker, he nodded to me, and it sounded like one.
"What the hell gives you the right to be here? You ain't one of us!" growled another.
"Humor us and tell us what we are," Taker snapped back.
A rather large creature came from the darkest corner of the room, he snarled at us and looked over or faces. "You are not that of the blood like us, just cursed mortals. What brings you here?" he asked. Taker took out his dagger and jammed it into the table; the room became silent to the blade, as if knowing what it was.
"That" he simply stated. "Which one of you can tell me what this dagger means!" he called aloud.
One came forward as he stared at it. "It's nothing without the other," he said in a sneering tone. I took out mine and placed it next to Taker's in the same manner. The room was oddly quiet.
"They cannot have those. It's impossible" the room began to fill with whispers.
Even the large vampire backed down. "What do the blades mean?" I asked of him.
The vampire looked at them very reluctantly. "It means that you are chosen, The Daggers of Destiny. Tell me this, do you see images when your blood is on the cover?" he asked us.
A small nod came from me. "It does," I said. "What of it?"
He went on farther that only a powerful vampire can do such a thing, and that Taker and I were chosen. "You are to be great leaders in our world," he said.
"Screw that, we want to get back to normal, how the hell do we do it!" Taker snapped back.
There was a loud laughter in the building. "You don't! And we will not tell you if there is a way, you are to be one of us and that's all that matters!" stated the tall one.
Well, he don't know Taker and I don't take no for an answer. I grabbed my dagger from the counter and forced the vampire to the wall with the blade against his neck.
"Let me ask once more… If you answer right, I will be sure the blade doesn't make this your destiny. Got it?" I asked
A damn smirk came over his face. "Do what you will with me, but your blood doesn't lie, neither do the daggers of destiny. You are the ones, and we have all waited a long time for you" he laughed.
I grew sick of this, I was tempted for some reason to cut his head off. Yet Taker pulled me back on my arm. I pulled away, only to see the Deadman do it himself, slaying the damn creature before everyone. "Any of you dare come near me or Kane here… your share the same blade as he did." Was his announcement to the room.
We walked out, only to run into our wives leaning against the door. Taker and I were stunned to say the least to see them there.
"Ladies?" I asked of them, yet the vampires in the room caught wind of their fresh blood. Their eyes started to light in the darkness, Sara looked scared, as did Melissa. "Run!" I yelled.
We bolted up the stairs as fast as we could; yet the vampires found other means of getting out of this God forsaken dank place. We got surrounded outside as soon as we got to the streets, the vampires looked hungry.
"Our soon to be great leaders brought us delights!" growled one.
"No, they are our wives!" Taker snapped back as he pulled his blade. I pulled mine as well. But there were too many of them. No doubt if we turned the girls would get harmed in a second. But an idea hit me.
"Taker… you trust me?" I asked of him.
He looked at me oddly. "What the hell are you talking about Glen?" he demanded.
"I'll take that as a yes then" I took hold of Melissa, and she grabbed Sara who grabbed Taker. I know this sounds stupid yet I focused on the arena, and ran back into the building with everyone. Next thing I knew we were running out of the boiler room into the lit hallway of the arena.
"What just happened?" Sara demanded of me.
"I read about this power, it's called Shadow dancing. Traveling though darkness to get to another place… I thought I would try it" was my explanation.
Taker stared at me oddly. "And if it didn't work?" he asked.
I shrugged. "Well… that would have been on bloody battle"
There was a frustrating grown from everyone, yet we know not what to look for. We need to see what those vampires were talking about, yet where to look and how to find it… It had come to the time of asking some of the guys for help. Maybe some of them might have an idea on where to look.
