Ch 24

Sabrina was trying her best to fall asleep. She lay quietly listening to Kane's breathing caressing his muscular arm protectively around her waist. She tried closing her eyes again feeling nothing but restlessness. Why do I feel like Taker is up to something, she thought turning on her side. She sighed slowly moving Kane's arm from around her deciding to take a walk hoping the night air would calm her nerves. She wrapped the navy blue satin robe over the matching nightgown heading out into the quiet empty hall. She stopped for a minute looking at the door that used to be Kane's room. She couldn't believe she had agreed to her father's request to let Regal and Nash stay in that room and for Angle and Jericho to stay in Batista's room for the night. An eerie feeling ran through her body as she felt like she was being watched. She shrugged it off hurrying towards the garden. She felt immediate peace when she entered her safe haven seeing the moonlight illuminating the stone bench near the pond. She was about to sit down when she heard noises behind her.

"What are you doing up it's almost midnight?" Undertaker's voice filled the night air as she turned seeing him a few feet behind her sitting on one of the stone walls.

"I couldn't sleep," she softly said going towards him sitting on the wall next to him. "How about you?"

"Same as you can't doze off," Taker looked at her seeing the worry in her eyes as she glanced at him. "What's bothering you?"

"Taker, I can't shake the feeling your planning to do something to hurt Kane again," Sabrina had problems getting the words out not wanting to upset Taker. Undertaker was caught completely off guard by her comment. Damn had did she know that, he thought staring into her eyes.

"Your feeling is right," he looked down at the ground. "I'm planning to have him touch that sword again first thing tomorrow morning whether he likes it or not even if I have to trick him."

"You can't do that to him. You can't force him to do things," Sabrina shook her head not believing Taker would break Kane's trust.

"I don't want to do it. Damn baby girl don't you understand that sword could unlock the last key we need to stop what will happen at the banquet," Taker stood up staring at her. "It took me forever to regain Kane's trust do you think I want to break it again?"

"Then don't do it," Sabrina raised her voice feeling protective of Kane. "Taker, I'm begging you don't force him to remember. Let me talk to him maybe I can get him to agree to touch the sword again." Sabrina rested her hand on Taker's arm feeling the tension running through his body. He turned slowly looking down into her eyes feeling the familiar weakness for her.

"Fine Sabrina, we will try it your way," Taker knew he couldn't deny her but if she doesn't convince Kane I will convince him the hard way he thought to himself.

"Thank you and you won't have to do it the hard way," she sat back down on the wall feeling slightly more relaxed.

"Damn it this is freaky. I can't keep anything from you not even my thoughts," Taker smirked at her making her smile.

"Sorry I don't mean to hear your thoughts when we are together like this it's happens so easily," Sabrina looked up at the stars. "When we are apart all I have is feelings or sensations about what is going on with you. You're right it's strange."

"Why is this happening between us?" Taker rested his hands by her sides of her drawing her attention back to his piercing green eyes.

"I don't…." Sabrina was cut off by laughter from behind them.

"Why?" Nash joined them laughing wickedly. "Oh Sabrina wouldn't it be devastating to find out that Taker not Kane is your true love?"

"I know Kane is my true love," Sabrina immediately went on the defensive.

"Nash, why don't you go bother someone else. I'm sure Regal or Angle would love your charming company," Taker protectively put his arm around Sabrina.

"I rather stay here with the lovely lady," Nash grinned at Sabrina making her stomach churn. "Don't get all upset by my presence. I'm only trying to point something very important out. It might be a fact you don't want to deal with but what if Kane isn't the one?"

"Just take your stupid bullshit and go away," Sabrina refused to let Nash get to her.

"Is it bullshit? Let's think about this you and Taker have a powerful connection. You feel him and can hear his thoughts. You loved him in the past as King Marcus. Kane tried to shut you out but Taker can't resist you," Nash rubbed his chin. "Should I continue?"

"I can hear your thoughts. Does that mean we are in love too?" Taker smirked making Nash laugh.

"I know why you can hear my thoughts. It was a stupid careless mistake by a fool who is still an idiot even today. Hopefully his blunder will be fixed by this time tomorrow," Nash seemed lost in his thoughts for a minute. "I'm not just talking about the thoughts it's the feelings for one another that intrigues me. You dreamed of both men, how can you be sure it just isn't lust between you and Kane reborn. You two on the other hand had children together a powerful bond. There is a very different chemistry between you two. You're still missing some pieces to your past. Maybe one of the pieces is the truth about who you're destined to be with," Nash's eyes lit up with wickedness.

"Nash, I know what you're up to. You want to cause chaos between Taker and Kane. You want to cause doubts between Kane and I. Any weakness so we don't stop whatever is going to happen tomorrow so you can finish your deed and leave this castle," Sabrina yelled at Nash as Undertaker caressed her neck trying to calm her down.

"What is the deed anyway Nash, to kill me?" Taker sneered at Nash as Sabrina inhaled deeply starting to tremble at Taker's words. She felt her heart slowly ache at even the thought of Taker being in harm's way.

"I wish it was," Nash ran a hand through his hair. "That would be pleasure because in my eyes you are still King Marcus my arch enemy. No my deed is a secret only I know and it will stay that way."

"No Nash I will find it out," Undertaker got in Nash's face staring him down. "Trust me I will," Undertaker thought letting Nash hear it.

"Try your best I like the challenge," Nash backed away from Taker shifting his gaze to Sabrina. "My dear, think about what I said tonight but don't forget it really doesn't matter because in the end you will spend the rest of your life with me."

"Never," Sabrina said feeling Undertaker wrapping his arms around her.

"Don't waste your time," Taker whispered in her ear as Nash laughed again.

"Good night, I look forward to seeing you two tomorrow," Nash gave them one last menacing look before strolling away.

"Damn him, why does he have …" Sabrina stopped when Taker put his finger to her lips.

"Remember he isn't worth the breathe," Taker said giving her a handsome concerned smile.

"I should try to get some sleep," Sabrina stuttered not able to get what Nash said out of her mind for some reason about Kane not being the one.

"Good night baby girl," Taker slowly leaned down lightly kissing her cheek.

"Good night Taker," she went to step away from him feeling his arms tighten around her.

"Sabrina, please stop worrying about what Nash said just follow your heart," Taker whispered close to her lips running his fingers lightly over them. She felt her heart quicken under his touch causing her to swallow hard. She looked into his eyes feeling herself getting lost. She reached out caressing his face feeling so many emotions fighting to take control. She deeply sighed feeling his gentle strong caress along her back. "You want to stay with me a few minutes longer?" he softly asked as she nodded yes. He took her hand leading her to a bench deeper in the rose garden. He sat down pulling her into his lap. She rested her head against his chest for a few minutes trying to calm her frazzled nerves down. Taker held her tight running his fingers through her hair till she slowly looked at him. "You okay little girl?"

"I'm really not sure anymore. I hate to admit but what Nash said is really bothering me," she softly said.

"He was just trying to rile us up," Taker said hoping to ease her worries. He was surprised when Sabrina slowly shook her head no. Her eyes stayed locked to his as she took a deep breathe letting her emotions take control needing to know what would happen. She leaned closer to him kissing him. Taker's heart leapt out of his chest with happiness as he pulled her closer kissing her again. She slowly pulled away letting the moonlight catch a tear that ran down her cheek. Taker reached out wiping it away. "Sabrina, don't cry."

"I'm sorry I'm so confused. I thought kissing you would give my heart peace about what Nash had said," she bite her lip trying not to let anymore tears flow.

"It didn't?" Taker searched her eyes.

"No, I even more confused. I'm sorry Taker," she said breaking free from his embrace rushing back to her room before he could stop her. She stopped outside the door running her fingers over her lips still feeling Taker's amazing kisses. Her heart beat like she had never felt before.

"Are you starting to doubt beautiful" Nash came down the hall stopping near her breaking her from her thoughts. "Who is you true love Kane or Undertaker? I might be able to help you figure that out once and all. I never lost my memory of the past and what happened. Do you want my help?"

"Go to hell Nash," Sabrina ignored his laughter going into her room. She looked at Kane still sound asleep on his side. She sat down in a chair watching him hating herself for letting the confusion consume her. She knew Nash was trying to play games with her head but she couldn't deny the powerful amazing feelings she felt when she kissed Taker. She buried her face in her hands letting the tears come as Nash's question burned in her mind about her true love really was.
