Ch 11
Sabrina opened her eyes seeing light blue eyes filled with concern staring at her. She sat up quickly startled by Kane's mask for a moment. She looked around seeing she was in her room lying on her bed with Undertaker on the other side of her. She saw the pain in Taker's eyes as the awkward silence was broken by his long sigh as Sabrina looked back at the other huge man. Her eyes were drawn back to his eyes filled with tears as she slowly got off the bed approaching him. Sabrina's mind was racing as she reached out touching his arm running her fingers along the muscles feeling like she had touched this man quite a few times before.
"Who are you?" she softly said searching his eyes feeling him tense under her touch. He looked away from her suddenly.
"I'm Kane, Undertaker's younger brother," Kane was trying to control the amazing feelings coursing through his body as she ran the strands of his brown hair through her fingers. "Are you ok Sabrina?"
Sabrina trembled listening to his voice realizing it was the voice in her dreams, the voice that whispered in her ear down in the garden.
"I don't know," the tears ran down her cheek. Kane ran his fingers along her cheek wiping the tears from her face. She caught his hand holding it tightly. "Its you. I know your gentle touch. I know who you were before." Kane broke free from her going to the window not wanting her to see his tears. "Its you Glen, don't you remember me?" Her voice trembled as she touched his back making him wince in agony. Undertaker watched with silent pain waiting for the lovers' reunion to happen.
"I'm not Glen. I'm Kane now," Kane said refusing to turn and look at her. "I may look and sound like this man you once loved but believe me I'm not him. I am monster, someone you should fear and stay far away from. I have to go now!" Kane rushed past her pulling open the door.
"Please don't go," her voice echoed through the hall as she followed. He went through his door slamming it shut sinking to the floor holding his head in his hands listening to her cry. "Please Kane. I need to talk to you." He wanted to open the door and hold her. He wanted to tell her he remembered most of his past with her. His love for her had never changed. He caught his reflection in the mirror running his hand to his mask knowing he was a monster not the man she loved anymore.
"Sabrina, come on give him some time," Undertaker picked her up from in front of Kane's door. Sabrina was confused beyond belief she knew Kane was the man from her dreams. She felt it in her soul why wouldn't he even talk to her. "Kane is just being Kane. He is a loner and doesn't know how to open up to anyone not even me his own brother. Then again I can't blame him for that I have done cruel things to him."
"What have you done to him?" Sabrina looked into his green eyes seeing the glistening of few tears.
"He wears the mask and thinks he is a monster because of me. I started the fire that burnt his face and took away his family making him grow up alone and never feeling truly loved," Undertaker put her down on the bed pacing in front of her. "Years later I have tried to make up for it. I try to be the best big brother I can but I can't get through to him. He talks to me but not about what is going on inside of him."
"It's wrong for him to think he is a monster. I have to talk to him," Sabrina got off the bed. Taker caught her with one arm around the waist as Batista came through the door looking like he rushed up the stairs.
"What is all the commotion up here for?" Batista ran a hand through his dark hair.
"Its ok, little problem between Sabrina and Kane," Taker said holding onto Sabrina.
"No problem is little with Kane," Batista laughed noticing how upset Sabrina looked.
"Sabrina, you have to leave Kane alone for now. Please trust me and give him at least till tomorrow," Taker felt her stop struggling against him.
"Ok Taker, I do trust you," she started to tremble suddenly as a memory flashed in front of her eyes as she stared at Batista with wide eyes seeing him differently suddenly.
"Hey, what's wrong," Taker tilted her chin to look into her distant eyes seeing she was somewhere else. "Sabrina tell me what are you seeing."
"The knocking on the door the night our happiness started to change was Sir David telling you that Sir Glen had been brought to the castle wounded. I went to rush out the door to check on him when you caught me just like this around the waist telling me I couldn't see him I needed to rest after having the baby. You tried to put me back in the bed but I wriggled out of your arms. I went down to the room where the doctor was tending to Glen," Sabrina looked at Batista again staring deep into his eyes. "David followed me while you called one of the ladies to watch our children. He tried to grab me before I entered the room but I was too fast for him. Glen was lying on the bed pale and shaking a deep wound to his shoulder." Sabrina heard the door across the hall open meeting Kane's eyes taking her right back to that moment.
"My Lady, you must wait for King Marcus," Sir David pleaded with his queen as she neared the bed seeing her knight. She slowly kneeled by the bed brushing his hair away from his pale face.
"My love can you hear me?" she leaned down softly whispering in his ear.
"The voice of my angel calls me," he murmured as she ran her fingernails over his bare chest glancing at the doctor putting an herbal mixture on Glen's wound.
"Will he die?" Sabrina had tears in her eyes as she watched Glen shiver.
"My Queen, I have done all I can. The wound is deep and he lost quite a bit of blood. We must wait and see," the doctor looked at her sadly before walking away.
"My Lady, Sir Glen is strong. He shall live," David stood behind her resting his hand on her shoulder.
"I hope you are right," she stood suddenly staring into David's brown eyes. "I have a favor not a request to ask you."
"I would do any deed for my lady," David smiled running his hand through his dark hair.
"Watch over him. Let no harm come to him. I fear whoever did this will return to finish the deed," Sabrina shivered slightly.
"As you wish my lady," David tilted his head slightly as she looked down at Glen again. She saw the cross still hanging around his neck smiling.
"Sir David will protect you," she kissed his forehead as she felt her husband's strong hand grasp her shoulder.
"You shall return to our bedchamber now," King Marcus said picking her up carrying her up the stairs as Sir David stayed behind with Glen.
