CHAPTER TWELVE

Lamika swatted David's arm before sticking her head out of the room. "Thanks Skittles!" She grinned when he turned to wave at her before looking at David, almost flailing under the expression on his face. "I uh, got lost."

"Don't worry about it." He held up his hand, stopping her. "Listen, there's something I need to tell you about, about tonight's show, so don't freak out or flip your lid."

She was busy studying him, taking in his black wrestling trunks and getting a really good look at his tattoos. "What about tonight's show?" She asked curiously. "Why would I uh, flip my lid?"

"I'm facing Kane." He stated flatly, that calmness coming over him again. "Boss' orders before I go on leave."

Lamika dropped her gaze to his heavily bandaged calf, feeling bad for doing that all of a sudden. "Um… this isn't good is it?" She murmured. "So do you want me to stay back here then?"

"It's your choice. Either way, the show will go on." David promised darkly.

"I'd prefer to go out and watching." She admitted. "No offense but I get a little lost back here and I don't want to be bored either." She shivered at the tone of his voice, everything about him right now was seriously creeping her out.

"Fine. Let's go." David took her hand, sighing when she hesitantly followed him. "Relax, everything is going to be fine." He promised, leading the way down the hallway.

Once she was in her seat, Lamika waved bye to David and looked around, surprised to see how fast the arena was filling up. Pretty soon she felt like she was being smooshed again, the sound of the people around her deafening though when the show actually kicked off that was even worse. She rested her arms along the guardrail and buried her head for a minute, taking deep calming breaths before looking up.

As the show went on, she found herself cheering along with everyone else throughout the matches, laughing her ass off at some of the things these entertainers did in the ring. Lamika looked up, blinking when she seen Jeff come out onto the stage, shaking her head at what he was doing then grinned, wondering just how crazy he was.

Jeff was having a ball tonight and grinned when he seen Mike, winking at her before sliding into the ring. He focused on his match, out to give her a show, wanting to make sure she'd remember him the next time. It all wound up with him standing on top of the barricade, flashing Mike another grin before leaping.

Lamika actually blushed from that grin, burying her face in her hands and laughing. She let out an ear-piercing whistle when he won, frowning when she heard the girls next to her start shrieking out how much they loved him, hollering for his attention. "Jesus christ…" She muttered, shaking her head.

The show went on, more violence, more humor, more drama. It was a lot like watching a soap opera only it all took place in a ring.

Then explosions erupted.

Lamika looked up, smiling in spite of herself when David walked out, her mouth dropping into an O as she watched him.

Kane was out next, his music hitting the PA system. He made his way down the ramp, never taking his eyes off of his opponent. He got in the ring, did his thing and backed away slightly, well aware Vince had instructed Batista to lose but from the look on David's face, the Animal had other plans.

David walked straight up to Kane, pressing their chest together and didn't make a move. He just clenched his fists at his side, waiting for Kane to throw the first punch.

Shaking his head, Kane refused to take the first swing. He just got right back in David's face, his blue eyes staring into David's brown ones. He slowly looked to the side, staring at Lamika for a moment before slowly turning back to stare at David.

"Stay away from her." David said coldly, finally throwing a massive fist at Kane.

Lamika could only watch the match, covering her face with her hands when she seen Kane rip the bandage from David's calf and instantly going for the wound, like a dog scenting blood. She peeked through her fingers in time to see Kane plunge a large finger into the wound and almost jumped the barricade, almost.

David screamed out in agony, lashing out with kicks and pushing himself up onto his feet. He groaned when he was caught in a choke slam, his body hitting the mat with a sickening thud.

Kane dropped a knee across David's chest before pinning him. He wasn't surprised when he got the one, two, three. That was what Vince had wanted. What Vince hadn't wanted was this: Kane went back to the leg, literally trying to tear the wound open.

He heard David let out another agonizing scream and smirked. Kane finally stood up and slipped through the ropes, halting in front of the barricade to stare at Lamika. He reached out and wiped the blood down her face before leaving.

David was holding his leg against his chest, growling angrily, this hurt worse then when Lamika had actually stabbed him! EMT's were surrounding him, pulling him out of the ring and through his pain he registered he was being taken backstage. "ARE YOU FUCKING HAPPY VINCE?" He bellowed when he seen his boss.

Vince nodded dumbly, looking sick at the sight of the blood. "I didn't know Kane would…" He trailed off, nobody ever knew what Kane was going to do. "I have to go find that girl he swiped…. I can't have her suing." He sighed, heading out of the trainer's room.

"Lamika!" David's mind screamed though the next second he was screaming: "WATCH WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE DOING!" At the trainer.

Lamika stormed in and she was PISSED. She was sporting a streak of blood down her forehead, nose and lips as well as an attitude.

"Now miss…" Vince began in a gentle but firm tone. "You know that the WWE is not liable for-"

Lamika punched him.

"GODDAMN IT!" David roared, being held down by two burly guards just so his leg could be stitched up. When this was all said and done, David was going to clock Kane right in his fucking face.

Lamika rolled her eyes as the boss guy started whining about her teeth, sparing a glance at the obviously enraged David and pulled her bandana out of her back pocket, wetting it in the sink and washing her face off.

David finally was allowed to move, rolling off the table and hobbled out into the hallway. He growled when he seen Vince, clobbering him right in the face and sending his boss flying backwards on his ass and out cold. He stepped over the unconscious Vince, snorting and kept on walking, knowing Lamika would follow him. "Fuckin' dick!"

Lamika was silent as she followed David, taking note as a path automatically cleared the way for him. Then she seen why it was cleared.

Kane was standing at the end of the hallway, staring holes through David.

She seen David tense and put a hand on his shoulder. "Can't we leave?" She whispered, not wanting to see him get hurt anymore.

David couldn't even think rationally right now. He just darted for Kane, spearing him to the ground, ignoring his throbbing leg and started hitting him with everyone he had. "Lamika, chair NOW!" He ordered, one hand wrapped around Kane's throat, accepting the chair she instantly supplied him with.

Lamika watched as David proceeded to beat the hell out of Kane with that chair, shrieking when she was shoved out of the way as security came rushing forward, wrenching the two men apart. "David!" She screamed, seeing them try to force him away, one breaking out a stun gun. Lamika dived through the people gathered round and knocked the guard's knee out from under him just as he was going for David. "FUCK!" She wound up getting it instead. Pissed past the point of no return, she turned around and lunged.

David finally stopped, seeing Kane was knocked the fuck out and turned to attack the security, causing them all to scatter and lifted Lamika into his arms. "Calm down Mika." He ordered gruffly, backing away from the guards.

She groaned, rubbing her abdomen as he carted her out of the arena. "That fucking hurt." She muttered, slipping out of his grasp. "You're hurt worse then I am so don't." She snarled when he went to grab her again, snatching away his bag. "David, stop, let's just get the hell outta here before anymore shit happens."

"Fine." He growled, tossing her the keys, clearly not happy right now. "Just fucking drive."
