For Love or Gold

CHAPTER 16

The hall was decorated with banners and pictures of the current Hall of fame inductees, tables were set with white linen and expensive crystals and china. There was even a band playing gentle music as most of the members of the WWE family and their spouses were enjoying their cocktails before the meal was serve and the Induction Ceremony, then the night would be filled with dance.

Kay felt nervous as she walked along side of her brother with their arms locked together, she wasn't comfortable with the long black slim evening gown, the delicate gloves she wore were making her hands sweat. David was dressed in his Armani tux, the two made a gorgeous pair.

"Our table's over here," Dave hid his smile, "We're sitting with Vince and the other champions and number one competitors."

"All of them?" Kayla gave him a puzzled look, she never let on to Dave that she had watched all of Smackdown the night before.

The unsettle ling look on her brother's face as the Undertaker was beating on King booker, it was unnerving for her to watch. She had never seen a look like that on his face, it gave her a bad feeling on the night's enjoyment.

"Yeah, but don't worry Kay, I doubt that he'll show up, he never has before." Dave tried to smile at her, but Kay just turned from him and looked around the crowd.

She was hoping deep inside that the Undertaker would come, she had to look into those beautiful green eyes again, she need to see his soul as he looked at her. His behaviour was disturbing to her, but not frightening. It was more of a feeling of concern for his welfare, she truly believed she saw pain in his eyes.

"I've found it," Dave said as he read their names on the little place cards on the beautiful decorated table next to the stage.

Kay picked up the place card next to her seat, "John Cena, wow, I get to sit next to two champions, I feel special."

Dave chuckled as he helped her into her seat, "I saw the way he looks at you, he's got a think for you."

Kay didn't smile, she knew now why he was adamant on her coming. He was going to try to set her up with John in hopes she would forget about the Deadman. She had to give him credit for trying, but the Undertaker was buried deep under her skin.

Dave sat own in his seat as Vince and Shane sat down, John and Gregory helms came and sat down. Soon, the table was filled with only the chairmen, his son, the champions and what dates they had brought. But there was one chair that was left empty, directly in front of Kay.

The group began to talk as the first course of the meal began, Dave introduced Kay to those that didn't know her. John had even made a few hints that he would like to see more of her, but his flirts did nothing for her. She just smiled silently as she shook hands, her eyes fallen on the empty chair as she looked around. Her gut feeling was telling her who that chair was meant for, she wished so much that he would just show up and hoped that she found what she was looking for.

As if on a silent command, a large hand took a hold of the empty chair and pulled it back, "Sorry I'm late gentlemen, the hearse wouldn't start…"

Everyone laughed as Kay looked into those startled green eyes, he wasn't expecting her to be here tonight. If he had known, he wouldn't have come. Even as the Deadman, who was dressed to the nines in Armani as well, couldn't take his eyes off hers. She was so beautiful with her hair pulled up, slender coils of red surrounded her sweet face.

They didn't hear the introductions, it was at if there was jus the two of them, alone in their thoughts. Neither one moved, it seemed that time stood still for that moment, the look of wanting in both sets of eyes.

No words were spoken between them as their gaze never moved, she looked straight in the eyes of her parent's killer, but there was no look of evil or any menacing feature. No, there was only bewilderment, pain, and confusement as she looked on, there was something else that made her keep her star. Love, there was love in those eyes, a love that didn't come from a cold hearted killer. That's what she need to see.

The Raven within sang with agreement, the last words spoken between them came racing back into her mind, there was something off about the confession, but she was too distraught at the time to notice it.

"I have to go…" Kay said as she quickly rose from the table.

Mark's first reaction was to go after her, but he was able to stop himself before Dave noticed his movements.

"Kay, where are you going?" Dave was too attentive to his sister's expected reaction, or so he had thought.

He chased her down the hall and almost out of the building, still calling to her. He had finally caught up with her, to be greeted by a fierce looking stare.

"Kay, I'm sorry, I didn't know…" Dave tried to say, but Kay raised her hand to silence him.

"I have to go." Was all she said.

"I'll drive you back to the Hotel..." Dave offered, but she just shook her head.

"No, I'll be fine…"

"I can't just let you walk around here alone when…"

"I SAID I WILL BE FINE!!!" She shouted as the ground shook a little, Kay was too confused to notice it.

"But Kay…"

"Where is the car?"

"What car?"

"Mom and dad's. Where is it kept right now?" Her eyes had turned black, it was too dark in the hallway for Dave to see.

"I think it's still in police custody…but Kay…"

"BE STILL!" She waived her hand at her brother, Dave was held in place.

She walked over to him and kissed his cheek, "I'm sorry Dave, but Mark killing our parents just doesn't sit well with me. I need to find out the truth. But don't worry! The spell will stop as soon as I'm gone, but you won't remember a thing. I just hope that after I find what I'm looking for, you can pass aside those feelings you have for him. I don't believe that he's as bad as you say, my soul won't let it."

She closed her eyes and began to speak the charm that would take her to the vehicle that last held her parents, the answer was there within the crumble remains of her parent's death. The wind blew around her as her body disappeared, just as she had said, the spell stopped and Dave was released.

"…I don't think that…" he looked around in confusement, "Where the fuck did she go?"

To be continued.
