A Raven in the Hand

CHAPTER 23

Dave grabbed the last camera bag from Kay and placed it gently into the back of his sports roaster. The two had filled the back of his car with all her filming equipment, Dave had no idea she carried this much stuff with her. He was glad that she was leaving the WWE, he never liked her around the Deadman.

He was more afraid that she would get hurt In the imminent battle that would take place soon. The Undertaker was sniffing out the gold around Batista's waist, and once the Deadman smells gold, he's coming for your soul. He didn't want her to get involved in the middle of their fight, going to Egypt was the best thing that could happen. Kayla would be out of the country when Wrestle Mania, safe and sound from the Deadman.

"IS that all your stuff?" Dave asked her, Kay grinned as she looked at her wristwatch.

Kay looked around the empty parking lot of the WWE headquarters, "Yeah, but I have to go inside and do one more thing."

"Oh yeah? What's that?" He asked as she ran back inside.

"Say goodbye."

Kay ran around the back of the building where the work out and locker rooms were, she had a feeling he was here. She had to get this over with or else she would not be able to do it at all. She couldn't leave without saying a word to him, he didn't deserved it. She wanted to tell him that she loved him, but she couldn't tell him that. She couldn't love someone like that, the love would be wonderful, but the risks were too great. She was fearful that they would loose themselves trying to stay together, and she doubted that gods would permit something so unnatural to happen.

Lost in thought, she had no idea he was right in front of her as she walked right into him, almost knocking herself on the ground. But Mark had caught her in time and held her close.

"You are a klutz, aren't you?" He grinned.

Kay blushed as he released her, "I was just looking for you."

"Really?" There was something in his eyes, as if he was expecting this.

She began to get a little nervous, "I'm leaving."

Mark's facial expression changed for a moment, "Leaving? Why?"

She pulled out the amulet and showed him, "This has something to do with me and I need to find out what that is. I'm leaving to go to Egypt in a few days, I'm leaving right now to go spend some time with my family before I leave. I wanted to say thank you for everything you've done."

Mark tried to smile, but his heart wasn't into it, "I should be thanking you. If you hadn't come here, we wouldn't have known about the Vodu before it was too late."

"Yeah, well, you still have me by one." She tried to smile back.

"You take care of yourself, ok?" He pulled her close one last time and held her tightly in his arms, she held on to him, just as tightly.

"Remember," He whispered in her ear, "If you ever need me, just say my name." He kissed the top of her head and let her go.

Kay immediately turned around and walked off, not looking back as she left his sight. The Deadman frowned as he walked back into his dressing room and flopped on the leather couch. Kane appeared beside him and scowled at his older brother.

"What did I tell you? Why the hell did you just let her take off like that?" Kane snarled.

The Deadman got back up from the couch and looked out the window, he could see Kayla walking towards Dave's car, "You will never understand humans, my brother. When you have a Raven in the hand and you love her, let her go. If she doesn't come back to you, it was never meant to be."

"What the fuck does that mean?" Kane barked back, but the Deadman just kept looking on as Kay entered her Brother's car.

Dave smiled at her and noticed the tears in her eyes, Kay, are you ok?"

"Let's just go, please?" She wiped her face with the back of her sweater sleeve.

Dave said nothing as he pulled the car out pf the parking and turned off onto the busy street. He looked back at his sister and took his free hand into her hers, giving a little squeeze to let her know she's loved. Kay turned to her brother and smiled. She knew deep down inside that things would get better, they always do.

The end.

I think this is going to be turning into a series because I have way too much ideas and plots and stuff for it. So, stay tuned for part 2!
