Ch 29

Sabrina wrapped her arms around herself watching the waves reflecting on everything she had remembered. She heard the heavy footsteps approaching about to turn when she felt the strong hand grasp her shoulder.

"You can't say something like that then just walk away. I have spent centuries believing Glen was the love you mourned for. All the things I said about Marcus was to just mess with your head. I admit there was times I did think for a moment you loved Marcus more than Glen," Nash moved in front of her staring down into her eyes.

"This is really none of your concern," Sabrina looked away from him. "I have already thanked you for sparing my mom."

"Stop the tough act," Nash frowned at her. "I broke down and gave into you. Now it's your turn."

"Did you know Glen would try to kill Marcus?" Sabrina had so many questions going through her mind maybe Nash could give her some answers.

"No why?" Nash's face filled with puzzlement. "I offered him a deal but he refused."

"I know about the deal. I'm confused how did you know to have the wizard there for your spell?" Sabrina asked not caring about ruining her gown sitting down on the grass before her legs gave out from the weakness she was feeling.

"It was luck I ordered Christopher to follow me the whole evening in case I got the chance to try his spell on you. The plan was to get rid of Marcus and Glen then find you. I wasn't planning to hurt you just nick you slightly so our blood could be mixed bonding us forever. I guess in my soul I felt I was doomed that night," Nash deeply sighed sitting next to her. "When I saw Glen attack Marcus I was surprised behind belief. I thought Glen would always stay loyal to Marcus. They truly acted like brothers that is why I'm not surprised at all that fate has made them brothers in this lifetime."

"I don't understand it either," Sabrina felt the night breeze caress her skin comforting her slightly. "I don't understand anything anymore."

"Maybe its not so much understanding but what you feel in your heart," Nash leaned back on his hands stretching his long legs.

"I've been following my heart but have I been following it like I did in the past," Sabrina looked back at the castle feeling the Undertaker's presence but not seeing him.

"I'm afraid I don't understand," Nash felt comfortable talking to her without them being at odds wishing he had done this ages ago instead of tormenting her.

"This is weird talking to you like this. This is a night of strange things happening," Sabrina echoed his feelings making him smile. "In the past I overlooked the love I shared with Marcus. I didn't realize till I was dying in his arms how strong our love was. I just always assumed I was meant to be with Glen."

"But you did have feelings for Marcus right? If Glen never came back you would have been happy spending your life with him?" Nash said feeling like they were being watched closely.

"Yes to both. I would have been happy. I was happy with Marcus and our children," Sabrina got tears in her eyes. "This is all a mess. This is another lifetime and the feelings I have are all confusing."

"If you had to make a decision right now who would your heart choice?" Nash softly asked. Sabrina started at the ocean for a moment then looked at him.

"If I followed my heart it would lead me straight to Taker," she whispered. "Is that wrong?"

"No, the heart is never wrong. Forget about them for a little while," Nash surprised her with his comment. "Take a break from pondering over who you should choose."

"That is a good idea. Thank you," Sabrina smiled at him.

"You know we are not alone right now," Nash leaned close whispering in her ear.

"Yes, Undertaker is very close," Sabrina scanned the castle again not seeing him but feeling him. She was about to turn around when she saw her father coming out of the castle carrying something heading towards the sea.

"What the hell is he up to now?" Sabrina said making Nash look in that direction.

"I don't know but we better find out," Nash stood helping her up. "Let's hurry this isn't good at all."

Nash pointed out to her Jericho, Angle, and Regal hurrying after Vince laughing. They were about to head towards them when Stephanie's scream echoed in the night making them run in that direction.

Sabrina and Nash were about to enter the great hall when Sabrina heard footsteps echoing through the halls.

"What the hell is going on now?" Undertaker's voice put Sabrina at ease as she turned seeing him coming there way giving her a quick glance. "Stay back Sabrina."

Undertaker and Nash pushed open the doors to the hall finding it in darkness till Sabrina hit the switch illuminating the room.

"Oh my God," Sabrina gasped seeing Shane, Stephanie, Batista, and Randy tied to chairs with gags in their mouths. Sabrina quickly untied Stephanie who had worked the gag out of her mouth.

"Daddy and those bastards did this," Stephanie held onto Sabrina's hand tightly. "He took mom and said that Nash once again had failed but this time he wouldn't."

"Untie the others, we will go after them," Nash said to Stephanie before looking at Undertaker. "I'm on your side now that is if you want my help."

"Any help is appreciated," Taker motioned for Nash to follow as the started out the door. Undertaker stopped suddenly when Sabrina followed them. He grabbed her arm making her look at him. "No baby girl stay here. We will bring your mom back."

"I'm going with you," Sabrina broke free from Taker.

"I've always said she is a hell cat," Nash said following her. Undertaker cursed knowing there was no time to argue with her as they headed out into the night. He took the chance grabbing her hand at least getting some comfort in having her close.

"Please stay out of harm's way," Undertaker said to her as she nodded in agreement. They started on their way towards the sea when gunshots rang through the air making Sabrina freeze in terror. They ran towards the shots coming upon the beach seeing Regal, Jericho, and Angle lying sprawled on the beach looking like they were all in pain. Sabrina eyes were drawn to Vince standing silent holding the gun to his side staring at something in front of him hidden by two large rocks. Nash went towards Vince grabbing the gun as Taker and Sabrina went around the rocks stunned at what they saw. Kane was lying motionless on top of Linda. Undertaker ran towards his brother seeing the three gunshots wounds in his back. Sabrina trembled dropping to her knees as Undertaker rolled Kane off of Linda.

"He saved me," Linda muttered fear still in her eyes. "Kane came out of the darkness attacking the others then covering me as Vince fired. Is he alright?" Sabrina held her mom's hand as Undertaker saw Kane's eyes open slowly.

"Did I save Linda? I followed them to the beach here," Kane painfully said as Taker nodded yes speechless feeling his brother slipping away from them. "Tell Sabrina I'm sorry I never meant to hurt her now or in the past. I was selfish and wanted her for myself in the past. My selfishness cost her life. All I wanted to do was make it right. I hope saving Linda makes it right. Take care of Sabrina for me brother."

Undertaker was speechless staring into Kane's eyes.

"Kane," Sabrina crawled towards him running her fingers through his hair. "Please hold on we will get you help."

"Sabrina, it's too late for me," Kane touched her face. "I really do love you. I love you enough to set you free. I want you to be happy with my brother. You belong with …" Kane's body slumped as blood ran down the edge of his mouth. His hand slid down her face making Sabrina go over the edge. She couldn't take it anymore.

"No!!!" Sabrina beat on his chest. "No Kane! Come back please come back!" Undertaker cradled his little brother letting the tears fall. Sabrina suddenly stood up going towards her father with rage.

"Dad! How could you do this?" Sabrina screamed at him as Vince stared at her with no remorse.

"I wasn't trying to kill him. I was trying to kill that bitch," Vince shouted back at her. "Linda is responsible for Kane's death not me. Why can't I kill her, I couldn't kill her in the past I can't kill her now. I just want her out of my life. I want her out of my business. I'm tired of her having a mind of own and undermining my decisions behind my back. I want a wife who always says yes not argues with me every time."

"So divorce her don't kill her," Nash spoke up looking at Linda.

"Divorce that won't free me. Nothing will free me from that wench. I tried to dispose of her that night at the banquet and I lost all my children. I had to spend the rest of my life listening to her bitch me out for destroying out family. I mourned for my children as much as her. I loved you all," Vince looked at Sabrina. "I never meant for you, Shane, and Stephanie to pay with your lives back then. I never thought you would all be stupid enough to sacrifice yourselves for the ones you loved."

"It's not stupid," Sabrina lashed out at him. "It's called love. You really thought Stephanie and I would stand by while you killed our husbands. You truly believed we would let you kill our mother without hating you for the rest of our lives. Power isn't worth this much pain. It wasn't worth it then and it sure isn't worth it now."

"Power is everything. I'm sorry you and Shane could never understand that like Stephanie and I do. Say goodbye to your mom," Vince pulled another gun from his coat pocket pointing at his stunned wife as Sabrina went after her father struggling with him for the gun between them. Suddenly a gunshot went off as Nash rushed towards them as they fell to the ground. Undertaker stared in disbelief seeing Sabrina fall feeling his heart aching in pain.

"Sabrina!" Taker yelled moving Kane to the side pushing Nash aside to pull Vince off of Sabrina seeing fresh blood on her dress. "Oh God not again! I'm not losing you again."

"Taker, I'm ok," Sabrina opened her eyes shaking violently. "It's my father's blood. Did I kill him?"

"No, he is breathing and unconscious," Nash spoke up kneeling over Vince.

Sabrina didn't say another word just collapsed in Undertaker's arms crying her heart out till she passed out. Undertaker refused to let anyone else touch her picking her up carrying her back to the castle.

Sabrina woke up screaming feeling the strong arms embrace her.

"Sabrina, calm down," Undertaker ran his fingers through her hair.

"Kane?" Sabrina stuttered over his name hoping she only had a bad dream.

"He is gone," Undertaker held her tighter as the fresh tears started.

"My dad? My mom?" Sabrina asked softly.

"He is going to be ok. The bullet missed all his vital organs. Your mom is at the hospital for observation. The doctor wants to make sure she if ok after the drug Vince gave her," Undertaker felt her trembling. "Everyone else is fine. They are all downstairs if you want to go down."

"No, I want to stay here," Sabrina lay back down in her bed pulling the covers around her.

"Ok, if you need me I'll be across the hall," Undertaker went to stand up feeling her grab his hand.

"Please stay," she softly said squeezing his hand.

"Ok Sabrina," he laid down next to her as she turned to look at him.

"I'm sorry about Kane," her voice trembled as she spoke.

"Baby girl, it isn't your fault. He made the choice to go after them not you," Taker lightly pushed her hair back from her tear stained face.

"I can't help feeling responsible. I pushed him away in the chapel after remembering the past," Sabrina wiped her tears away.

"It is a confusing time. Please stop blaming yourself," Taker kissed her forehead.

"I want to leave this place as soon as possible," Sabrina stared deep into his eyes. "This is no longer a happy place for me."

"Ok, as soon as we take care of the arrangements for Kane I can take you back to the states," Undertaker hoped he wasn't overstepping his boundaries with her.

"I don't want to trouble you," Sabrina stretched still feeling like her body had been through a war.

"Its no trouble," Taker smiled at her. "Are you sure you don't want to go downstairs and be with Shane and Stephanie?"

"Not yet," her voice sounded sleepy as he looked down seeing her eyes starting to shut. He ran his fingers lightly down her back along her sides till he saw she was back to sleep. He rested his head on his hand watching her sleep hoping she would be alright. He sighed silently saying a prayer for Kane before closing his eyes joining her in sleep.
