Ch 17

Kane heard the banging on the door. He laid on the bed trying to ignore it not wanting to talk to anyone. He heard the door slowly open and felt someone sit on his bed. He didn't want to open his eyes and he didn't need to the minute he felt her touch on his arm he knew it was Sabrina.

"Hey you feel like some company," she softly said hoping he wouldn't push her away.

"Not right now. Please leave me alone," Kane didn't open his eyes he didn't want to see the disappointment in her eyes.

"Ok Kane, I'm sorry I bothered you," Sabrina slowly stood up going towards the door.

"Wait Sabrina," Kane opened his eyes sitting up. "I'm sorry I don't want to hurt your feelings."

"You are hurting me by running away and hiding," Sabrina stared into his eyes going towards him. "What freaked you out about the sword?"

"I don't know the feeling I got. The damn thing is evil," Kane ran his fingers through his hair. "Or I did something evil with it. I don't know it's all so blurry. I just feel like I hurt you with it."

"What?" Sabrina sat down next to him touching his hands.

"I think the bad feeling I get is because I did something to you with that sword," Kane sighed seeing the confusion in her eyes.

"Kane, listen to me it's the past. We have to find out what happened so it doesn't repeat itself. There is a reason we have all come here again together," Sabrina pleaded with him.

"Damn it Sabrina, I don't want to remember," Kane didn't mean to yell at her. "I had enough I'm going home first thing tomorrow."

"You can't just walk out like that," Sabrina stared deep into his eyes.

"Watch me," Kane knew he was hurting her but he couldn't help it. Sabrina sat quietly watching him get off the bed and start packing.

"I can't believe this. We find one another again and now you're leaving me," Sabrina was trying hard not to cry. "Kane, you can't be that cold."

"I'm a monster. I can be as cold as I like," his words made her heart almost break.

"I'm tired of hearing it about the monster shit. You're using it as an excuse to leave me," Sabrina went towards the door. "If you want leave, go ahead. I'll figure the secrets out without you. Go be the monster you love so much because you obviously don't love me." Sabrina ran out the room slamming the door. Kane threw his head back not believing he had hurt her. He threw his clothes to the floor going to the door to go after her coming face to face with Undertaker.

"What the hell did you do to her now?" Taker stared at his little brother.

"I told her I'm going home," Kane didn't break the stare.

"You mean you're running," Taker paused for a minute listening to the crying of Sabrina from her room. "You like hearing that?"

"It's ripping my heart out," Kane sighed not wanting to cause her pain.

"What are you afraid of?" Taker felt his brother's overpowering fear.

"I think I did something terrible to her in the past," Kane said watching Taker's eyes fill with emotions.

"You felt it when you touched the sword," Taker said remembering his fear of that sword. "That sword gave me the creeps too. We have to find out why. You'll never have peace if you leave now."

"I guess you're right," Kane looked over at Sabrina's door. "I'm staying away from her till I know what I did."

"Are you an idiot?" Taker blurted his thoughts out. "You're going to punish her for the past. She needs you now."

"I have to think about all of this. I'll be back," Kane brushed passed his brother.

"You better be or I'm going to hunt you down," Taker smirked knowing Kane would come back to Sabrina.

Sabrina sat near the window trying to stop her tears from falling. She was torn apart by Kane deciding he was leaving her. She thought she hadn't gotten through to him and he loved her but she guessed she was wrong. If he loved me, he wouldn't be leaving or he would have at least asked me to go with him, Sabrina thought seeing movement below.

She looked down seeing Kane. Her heart slowly painfully ached watching him pace in a circle. Sabrina was happy to see he was still there. She put her fingers against the glass silently pushing the window open. She rested on her chin on her hand watching him kick some of the stones cursing.

"What in the hell is wrong with me?" Kane's voice echoed. Sabrina realized he was regretting what had happened between them a few minutes ago. She noticed the way his body tensed as he continued pacing. He was tormenting himself and she couldn't bear to watch it.

"Why am I afraid of a stupid sword?" Kane kept talking to himself as Sabrina thought what to do. When he started cursing again, she shut the window deciding to go try to talk to him. She figured the worst he could do is tell her to go away.

Sabrina quietly went into the courtyard seeing Kane sitting on one of the benches his head in his hands. Kane was lost in his thoughts not hearing her approaching. Sabrina slowly ran her fingers through his hair.

"How can you stand to be around me?" Kane softly said not looking up at her. Sabrina ran her fingers under his chin gently making him look at her.

"Because I love you," she said with tears in her eyes.

"How can you love someone like me? All I do is hurt you by either pushing you away or running away," Kane sighed lightly caressing her hand.

"Kane, I know you're afraid," Sabrina stared into his eyes. "I'm afraid too but if we stay together we will get through this I know it. Do you realize what a gift we have been given? We have found one another again, our love survived the ages. Do you really want to throw that away?"

"No, I don't," Kane pulled her onto his lap wanting to feel her near. "I love you so much it scares me. The feeling is so overwhelming."

"I love you too with all my heart and soul. I need you Kane. Please don't go back to the States yet," Sabrina caressed his face. "I promise you after we solve the mystery here I will go back with you. Just please don't leave me here." The tears running down her cheeks made his heart ache like never before.

"I'm sorry Sabrina for earlier. I swear I won't leave you," Kane wiped her tears away.

"Thank you Kane," she nestled against his chest.

"You really will give all this up to come back to the States with me?" Kane ran his fingers along her back.

"Yes, I just want to be with you. We can always come back to this place when we want to feel its magic," Sabrina smiled.

"Sabrina, do you feel like something terrible happened here?" Kane had to ask her to see if she was feeling the same thing as him.

"Yes, I feel it more and more as the memories come back," she cuddled closer to him.

"Do you think I hurt you in our past life?" Kane felt her tense slightly in his arms.

"Kane, no I don't believe you did anything to harm me," Sabrina looked up into his eyes.

Kane leaned close kissing her softly. The warmth of his kiss set her heart at ease as she relaxed in his arms loving his kisses.

"Hey you two, save the smooching for later its dinner time," Batista interrupted them.

"Maybe we are not hungry," Kane stared at Batista as Sabrina started to laugh.

"Really what if I told you the cook made your favorite baked ham," Batista smiled as Kane's stomach started to growl. "Sounds like you're hungry."

"Come on sweetie, let's have dinner than we will spend some time alone" Sabrina stood up taking Kane's hand.

"Sounds like you're going to have some fun tonight boy," Batista patted Kane's back as he passed them.

"Jealous?" Kane commented back with a smile.

"No, I think I might have some fun tonight top," Batista blushed slightly.

"Really? With who?" Sabrina asked as they entered the dining hall. She got her answer when she saw Stephanie look up immediately when Batista walked in giving him a big smile. "Steph, where's Rob?"

"He had to fly back home his grandmother wasn't feeling well," Stephanie said not seeming upset about her boyfriend taking off suddenly. "I'll see him when we get back home."

"Sorry he had to leave," Sabrina said sitting down as Undertaker and Randy joined them.

"Where have you boys been?" Stephanie asked as Randy smiled.

"We went exploring the dungeons," Undertaker sat down. "Are they going to be restored too?"

"No, that will all become storage," Sabrina rested her hand on Kane's arm. "Find anything interesting down there? That is one part of the castle I don't want to explore."

"Nothing, just a dark eerie place," Randy commented as Taker nodded in agreement.

"What is eerie?" Shane came in the room.

"The dungeons," Randy answered him.

"Cool, I want to check it out tomorrow," Shane started to eat right away. "What do you think Dad will say when he sees this place?"

"That it's a waste of money," Sabrina laughed.

"Maybe he'll surprise us all and love it here," Stephanie commented trying not to look at Batista.

"We will have to wait and see," Sabrina hoped her father would like the castle but she had a feeling he wouldn't.
