Chapter 11- Odd thing are happening again- Matt

"He's always eating something," said Batista. "I haven't seen him without anything in hand! It's been going on for a while now. I just didn't think much of it until he complained all the sandwiches were gone… after he ate them,"

"I know, you don't think… Is it even possible? I mean she was only here for a day!" I asked.

"I don't think I know!" smirked Kane. "But let's not tell him that, not yet at least"

We were in the catering room, Taker had sat himself down once again for something to eat, and the thing is he's done this for the past few days! He would sit down eat anything with meat in it until nothing was left only to do it again later one when the meat is resorted. He's been like this since the last time his Mrs. came to visit… I also noticed how bits of him are turning scaly… as he slowly transforms into a dragon. Not to mention the little potbelly starting to grow on him. It was obvious and we knew it… but Taker didn't.

He saw us standing in the corner with smirks on our faces. "What the hell has gotten into you three? You look like something's amusing the hell out of you!"

"Nothing, really" said Kane. "You have been eating quite abit of sandwiches, ironically ham…"

Taker stared at his sandwich and just noticed the meat. "Damn I didn't realize that. Oh well" he said and took another bite. "Damn things aren't as filling as they use to be you know?" Not filling? The things are stacked like one of those fancy sandwiches with endless layers of meat! Hell I can only eat half a sandwich that is stacked like that! Yet the Deadman has seem to found room for a full platter!

"You much rather have a swine?" I questioned.

Strangely enough, Taker gave me a shocked look. "Are there any? I've had an odd craving for something fat and big," he said aloud.

Kane only nodded his head to us; our hunches were confirmed.

Owen soon walked into the room. He looked quite depressed. Ever since Kane let him remember what was going on and what happened to him, he had become more torn than ever before. I could tell he wants to go back to his family. He debated about it for the past few days, ironically enough; Kratos has gone missing ever since Owen remembered his past life.

I had had it with him and pulled Owen off to the side, he didn't look me in the eyes at first, yet when he did. I asked the dreaded question. "What's stopping you?" Kane had told me time and time again he would let Owen go back to his family, hell that was the whole purpose wasn't it? That was Raiden's 'master plan' right? Yet Owen did not see it that way, he felt that since it was part of his past… it couldn't be part of his new life.

He looked to me oddly. "How would you know what I am thinking?" he asked. I gave him this look… it's the look of 'what makes you think no one knows what you're thinking?' He let out a sigh and said. "There's too much of an age difference between us now, by the time I am what… ten? She'll be…" he paused, something startled him. "You… feel that?" he asked.

Come to think of it, I did. Every dragon in the room did too. "Is that… Other dragons?" Kane asked aloud. The bizarre sense even made Taker stop eating!

We all rushed out of the catering room to investigate, Raiden better not have pulled another fast one on us! We were in the hallway when Kratos came walking down with a grin on his face, his wings stretched to the sides of the hall purposely blocking any view. "Kratos, what's going on? Where have you been?" questioned Batista.

"I am making things right! It took a week, but I am making it right. I am being an older brother!" he announced, lowering his wings there behind him were three dragons, a young woman, a teenage girl and a pre teen boy. The moment their eyes locked onto Owen, they threw themselves into his arms, as he was unable to understand how or why this happened. But he found himself embracing them tightly, tears of joy flowed freely from them… Owen has his family back.

Kane looked to Kratos oddly. "How…"

"In due time dad, in due time, just let my little brother enjoy his moment" he said.

Owen and his family finally released each other from the embrace. "Martha… You did this for me?" he asked.

She nodded to him. "We want to be with you Owen, no matter what you become. We want to be with you always!" she cried back.

Owen looked to Kane for approval, we all knew he wasn't going to say no to this. "If you want, I can make sure you are all set for life. We got more than enough… and the odd job on the side" he explained.

"Odd job?" questioned Oji.

I went into the details of the swine that plague realms and the method of payment. "We're working on taking credit cards but they haven't heard of visa yet, so it's gold pretty much and the odds and ends and occasional jewels…" I named off.

"Are you serious? You do that as dragons?" Martha demanded.

"Don't knock it until you try it, I already did it… it's rather fun" grinned Owen. "Not to mention it really saves on the grocery bill!"

"Welcome to the family!" Kratos announced as he embraced his new sister in law. "As for me, I am going to see if there are any odd jobs available!" Kratos announced.

"Sorry Uncle Mark has that dibs on those" said Kane.

"I do?" Taker questioned.

"Yeah, you do" Kane replied. Taker only shrugged his shoulders not thinking much of it. He walked away. Kane turned his attention to Owen. "Feel free to go and stay with your family again Owen, I am not going to stop you. I want you to be happy, and if you need anything, ANYTHING, you let me know"

The two embraced full heartedly, Owen then announced proudly to his family. I could just hear Owen whisper. "You've been a great friend, and a great father to me, thank you" he said as the two embraced. Owen then turned to his family, tucking them under his wings and announced proudly with a tear in his eye. "Let's go home"

Kane, Batista and I watched him leave with his family, it was heart touching. "You lost a son, but regained a friend…" I began to say.

Kane however stopped me. "Nonsense, I never lost a son. He's still my flesh and blood," he said. "Now… let's go check on the Undertaker…." Kane said with a grin.
