Kendra found herself back with Paul next night, getting Baron's blood in her mouth again and pushing the knife into her left hand again. Baron took another beating and as soon as the bell rang, she pulled out the knife.

"Good girl," Paul handed her some fresh banana leaves.
"Fuck you, Paul!" She sneered.

She grabbed the leaves, pressed them into her hand and walked out of the locker room. She didn't care to stay a second longer than she had to. She missed that Brock was halfway up the ramp when Baron managed to fight through the pain in his own hand, jump on Brock's back and bite down on the man's neck. It wasn't until Paul came storming past her that she knew something was up.

"Oh my fucking god! Is he trying to eat him?" Someone shouted from a near by room.

She stuck her head inside and looked at the monitor just as a bunch of men pulled Baron away from Brock. Brock was bleeding from his neck. Baron pushed everyone away and stormed up the ramp. She had a feeling where this was going. She turned around, stormed back to Brock's locker room and grabbed the dagger before running towards the way she knew Baron had to come from.

"Baron!" She called out when she saw him.

He didn't say anything. His lips were tight locked together. Instead he grabbed her, pulled her into a toilet and kissed her. She met the kiss with mixed emotions. His tongue against hers felt so good but the blood he had kept in his mouth was pure evil. She felt herself being wrapped in Brock's naked body and it was a dark and twisted place she didn't want to be.

"Hurt him," Baron said. "He can't fight back if you hurt him."
"Better fucking hurry," she warned him.

His eyes widened as she lifted the dagger and pushed it into her stomach of all places. He spun around and ran like never before. She might be a bloodie but she was also a human and she could die just the same. He ran towards the screams that came from Brock in severe pain. He lied on the floor with a bunch of people around him.

"Move!" Baron pushed some of them away. "Hi Brock."

He gave him a mean smile while closing his hand around the stone around Brock's neck and yanking it off him. He had tried getting his hands on it while hanging on Brock's neck just minutes earlier but of course Brock had managed to protect it. That's why he had chosen to take a good bite out of the other man.

"Kendra says hi," he said.

The painful look in Brock's eyes turned into hate and anger but he couldn't do anything. The pain in his stomach was too strong. Baron ran back to the toilet where she laid on the floor too.

"Kendra!" He fell to his knees. "Fuck!"
"Pull it out," she whispered.
"Shit, I'm sorry," he said.

He pulled the dagger out quickly and she screamed in pain. He grabbed the banana leaves on the floor next to her that already had blood on them from her hand.

"Please, tell me they still work," he said.

He pressed them down on her stomach with one hand and grabbed one of her hands with the other. As long as he felt her squeeze his hand, he knew she was still fighting.

"That's it, Kendra. Get angry. Fight it," he said. "Fucking fight it and stay with me."

Her breathing got more normal but she was still in a lot of pain. He moved her hands to hold the banana leaves in place while he lifted her up.

"I'm getting you out of here," he said. "Just like a promised. You just focus on holding them there."

He hurried down the corridors with her in his arms. He gently got her in to lie down in the back seat of his car before jumping into the driver's seat and driving away. He didn't know where to take her so he drove towards his own house. Five minutes before they arrived, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned his head to see she was sitting up. She looked tired as hell but at least she was smiling.

"Thank you," she said. "It's gonna be a rough night but I'm good."
"You can stay in my house," he offered.
"I think I have to," she said. "You know, this was my first time stabbing myself like that. I didn't know it would hurt that much."
"What did you expect?" He chuckled a bit. "You crazy woman."
"I like that you call me that," she said.
"What? Crazy?" He laughed.
"Woman," she said. "Like I'm a human being and not a thing disguised as one."

He drove into his driveway, stopped the car and turned around to look at her.

"You are a human being," he said. "A human being with some special talents but we all have weird talents. I know how to wrestle, you know how to connect with people by blood."
"You make it sound so normal," she said.
"No one's normal," he stroked her cheek. "But who wants normal anyway?"
"And what do you want?" She asked.
"You, Kendra," he admitted. "Ever since I first saw you."

He laid it out there and it was up to her to either make him happy or sad by whatever she would say next.

"Say something," he pleaded. "What do you want?"
"I want a shower," she said.
"Okay, fine, let's get inside," he tried not to show how hurt he was.
"And I want you to join me inside it," she added. "You know, I might fall. I still feel super lightheaded and I need a pair of strong arms to keep me up."
"Right!" He laughed and pressed his lips against hers. "I better do my duty as a gentleman then and shower with you. You know, to make sure you're safe and all."
"You're just as crazy as me," she laughed back.
