Ch 16
Sabrina and Stephanie returned both carrying items wrapped in velvet clothes.
"What did you two find?" Batista's curiosity was out of control
"This is yours," Stephanie handed him the item wrapped in a velvet cloth while Sabrina handed Undertaker and Kane that same thing. "I'll leave the one for Randy here till he comes in. Open it." Stephanie was excited watching Batista.
"Baby girl, where did you two find this? This is the real thing not like the replicas hanging on the wall," Undertaker opened the cloth seeing his sword with the golden handle etched with his coat of arms.
"This is unbelievable," Batista ran his fingers along the sword like it were fragile.
"When Stephanie and I remembered just now, we also remembered these swords being wrapped and put in the chapel after battles. The chapel is still in the process of being restored and the chanber these were hidden in hasn't been disturbed till now," Sabrina smiled until she heard the thud behind her. She turned seeing Kane had dropped the sword shaking.
"Kane, what's wrong?" Sabrina went to his side touching his shaking hand.
"Get rid of that damn thing please," Kane turned away from her.
"Hey Kane, its ok calm down," Batista picked the sword up putting it on the table.
"Kane, talk to me," Sabrina caressed his arm lovingly.
"I need to be alone," Kane didn't look at her just walked away up the stairs.
"Kane!" Sabrina started going after him as Taker grabbed her around the waist.
"Sabrina, let him go," Taker whispered knowing when Kane went off he needed time to calm down. "Just give him a few minutes."
"What upset him so much," she walked back to the table running her fingers over the sword tracing the etchings.
"In this place who in the hell knows." Taker sighed staring at Kane's sword afraid to touch it too for some reason he didn't understand. Sabrina's phone started ringing making him look away from the sword. She answered still in shock Kane stormed off on her.
"Hello Sabrina, how is my daughter today?" Vince's voice bellowed in her ear.
"Hi Dad, I'm ok I think," she shook her head trying to concentrate. "Is something wrong?"
"No, I'm calling to ask you a favor," Vince paused. "I'm going with some of the WWE superstars to do a promotional stop in England tomorrow then I was thinking of stopping to see you. Is that ok?"
"Sure Dad," Sabrina said. "Can you bring mom?"
"Yes, do you mind if some of the wrestlers come to?" Vince asked.
"I don't have room for them here. They will have to stay in town but I will have a big dinner or something for them when you arrive," Sabrina knew she had one more room open for her parents to stay in.
"Don't go to too much trouble for us," Vince smiled on the other end.
"Its no trouble Dad, I'll see you in a few days," she hung up the phone meeting Stephanie's eyes.
"Dad and Mom are coming in a few days," Sabrina quietly said still thinking about Kane.
"Cool, we can have a banquet like in the old days," Stephanie smiled seeing how distracted her sister was. "Are you going be ok?"
"Yes, I need to take a walk," Sabrina said. "I'll be back in a few minutes." Sabrina rushed out of the room.
"I'm going after her," Stephanie started to leave as Taker stopped her.
"I'll go," Undertaker let her go hurrying after Sabrina.
It took Undertaker a few minutes to find her. He finally saw her heading towards one of the cliffs. He watched as she stopped letting the sea air blow her hair back. He closed his eyes seeing her in a gown with the wind whipping through her hair under a moonlit sky. His heart took him back to the past to the last time he remembered going after her on those cliffs.
King Marcus was furious for his wife's public outburst. He was angered more when she ran from his arms the minute they left the hall. He went out into the dark night seeing her hair glistening in the moonlight as she stood watching the sea.
"Woman, what in the heavens has possessed you. You are a queen not a mad crazy woman. I shall not stand for my wife acting like that," Marcus approached his wife grabbing her arms standing in front of her. She looked up at him with tear filled eyes.
"I saved thee from death. I shall not be sorry for that. My children shall not be fatherless and me the bride of that barbarian Nash," Sabrina cried looking away from him. Marcus felt his heart ache more with every drop of her tears.
"Make me understand your madness my love," Marcus moved behind her pulling her against him in a tight embrace whispering in her ear not able to stay mad at her.
"My sister heard my father planning your demise in the forest with Sir Nash. Father told Sir Nash to kill you. He planned to poison you at the banquet. Nash will try again. He swore I shall not stop him the next time," Sabrina pulled her husband's arms tighter around her not wanting to lose him.
"Your father wants me out the way so he can wage war at anytime he fills fit to," Marcus felt his wife trembling in his arms. "I shall take care of Sir Nash. Do not fear my love I shall not leave you. After I make sure you are safe in our chambers. I shall send for Sir Glen and Sir Dave to reveal our troubles. I swear on my honor and life your father will not take me from you," Marcus hugged her closely finally understanding her outburst. "I'm sorry my love. I'm touched that you truly love me. I was under the illusion you only truly loved Sir Glen."
"I love you both. You claimed a piece of my heart from the moment you spared Sir Glen's life and treated me with kindness. Over the years, I've grown to love you more. I shall not let my father harm you my love, I promise thee on my life," Sabrina stared into her husband's gentle caring eyes.
"You are the only one that can harm me. I'm powerless against you. I'm only invincible with you by my side," Marcus leaned down kissing her softly. "I love you more than my life."
Sabrina kissed him overcome with emotion. She loved her husband dearly but she also loved Sir Glen in her own special way that Marcus would never understand. King Marcus picked up his wife carrying her back to the castle thinking of ways to make King Vincent pay dearly.
"Taker, are you ok?" her voice broke him from his thoughts as he looked down into her eyes.
"Yes, just remembering the past," Undertaker looked out at the sea. "You promised to never let harm come to me on this spot."
"You promised to never leave me," Sabrina smiled at him as he embraced her.
"You really were torn between Glen and me," Taker loved the feel of her warm body against his.
"Yes, I loved you both," she frowned.
"I know your love was stronger for Glen," Taker kissed her cheek.
"I feel a great sadness something happened tragic after that night maybe the next night I'm not sure," Sabrina caressed his arms.
"Sabrina, don't force the memories. They will come when the time is right," Taker sighed deeply. "You should go check on Kane."
"Why do you think he ran like that?"
"I have no clue, baby girl," Taker felt her relax in his arms. "You trust me completely don't you?"
"Yes, I know you would never harm me or do anything against my wishes."
"If we don't get away from this spot I might do something you're not going to like," Taker whispered in her ear.
"What?"
"Kiss you," Taker softly said caressing her cheek.
"I wish I could give you what you wanted but I'm afraid what would happen," she blushed.
"Afraid of what?" Taker searched her eyes.
"I was torn between two loves in past. I don't think I could handle it in this lifetime."
"I can understand that. I'll try my best to control my desires," Taker smiled taking her hand squeezing it tightly. "Come on let's go find my brother."
Sabrina followed Undertaker wishing she could find the last pieces of the mystery of their past.
