Chapter 7- awkward silence- Kane.
The guys didn't say anything more as to what we did. It was odd of them not to say anything… did we do it on purpose? Or was it so bad that we caused pain to those we care about… let alone your own boss! Taker and I agreed to head to the hospital to check on the McMahons. When we arrived there, we just saw John Cena heading out of the hospital. "Taker… Kane… what happened?" he asked of us.
We didn't say anything. I didn't want to scare Cena. He was about to ask again when I gave him a stern look. "Please… don't," I begged.
John closed his mouth and only nodded to me. "If you want. Randy is inside with the McMahons… they look like hell" he said.
This wasn't making me feel any better… not one bit. We went inside to see, we checked at the receptionist who told us to go down the hall, first rooms on the left. Taker and I were silent as we went to the room. We knocked first. Orton opened the door. "Hey, come on in" he whispered, bring us into the room.
There Vince and Shane were. Conscious, aware and yet… I didn't feel right seeing them like this.
"Mark… Glen… I just want to say…"
"Please, don't say anything. We put you in danger Vince, we can't do that to you guys or our families anymore!" Taker stated in a stern tone.
Shane looked at him as if he had a hole in his head. "Do you not remember what you did?" he demanded of us.
"Well… not really… it's all fuzzy" I replied.
Shane McMahon laughed, as did Vince. "You saved our lives" Vince explained.
Taker and I stood there stunned to say the least… we saved their lives yet put them in the hospital at the same time?
"What did we do?" I asked of them.
Randy fielded that one. "I saw the whole thing. You were about to attack the vampires, when two went outside of the ring and attacked the McMahons. I ran down and got Stephanie out of there. Yet Shane and Vince were a little harder to get to." He went on to say that we slayed the vampires and yet Vince and Shane were held prisoner.
"I saw you two form a plan… in silence as it were. But you really kick ass!"
"How did Vince and Shane get in the hospital though?" Taker asked.
Vince fielded that one. "Uh… I kinda gave you a pat on the back, as did Shane…. We didn't know about the skin sucking up blood or anything"
I glared at my flesh. Is that what happened to those vampires I battled? Randy came up to me though and placed a single finger on my bare skin… nothing happened.
"Wow. Perhaps that's only temporary?" he asked.
Taker was rather shocked about that. "Perhaps in the heat of battle our skin does that to protect itself?" he wondered aloud.
"Well the important thing is no one got killed. And I don't think they would mess with you again Kane, Taker" Vince stated.
I wasn't too sure about that personally. After all, vampires are going to be all around us now no doubt. I wouldn't be long before we are challenged once more. Or perhaps one may even challenge us for the "title" we hold as to being Kings of the vampires?
We decided to take our leave from the hospital. Randy was going to stay behind with the McMahons. Taker and I were silent when we walked outside into the brisk cold air. I looked skywards and smiled. "You know what we haven't tried yet?" I asked Taker.
He looked at me oddly, and knew the smirk on my face.
"No… I ain't flying!" he snapped back to me.
I laughed. "Scared?"
"NO!" he growled.
"Then prove it… catch me if you can!" without reason I started running down the street as fast as I could. I didn't expect Taker to follow; yet he did. With a kick off the ground I felt my body go weightless! I was flying! I looked down to see if Taker was eating my dust when I ran into something hard. Looking before me was the Undertaker with a quaint smirk on his face.
"Scared huh?" he asked of me.
I smiled back. "Race you back to the arena?" I asked of him.
Taker shook his head. "You go one ahead of me Kane… I got some thinking to do if you don't mind"
I nodded to him; this was a lot for us to be taking in right now. The fact of the matter is we now know what happens when we, or our friends are threatened. Yet what can we do to control ourselves so we don't hurt anyone else? It would be a question we have to answer ourselves, not to mention. Finding a way to keep what human mindset we have. I fear the more we allow the killer instinct of the vampire to control ourselves, the more we lose of our souls… I just wished there was someone or something out there that could help us. Or perhaps… Taker and I are meant to do this alone…
THE END… FOR NOW!
