Chapter 11- Kane's chance.
He ran from the arena as quickly as he could. Kane was soon to notice that all who passed him appeared nothing more than blurs and specks of light. However he found his speed decreasing and come to a sudden stop when he smelt it. The scent of Dragon's blood was in the air. He looked about and found the Wiccans had followed him, their arms were crossed as each of them took turns glaring at him. "What? What I do?" he asked aloud.
"You shouldn't be running off like that, not in your condition" Dee announced. "Care to explain?"
Despite Kane's clear power and strength advantage over the three women he didn't give them any lip, he learned from the Deadman's mistake. "I hear her, the woman I harmed. She is still in the hospital but she's in danger" Kane spoke of the vision he had of the young woman he nearly killed and how she wasn't alone in the hospital room. A boyfriend or husband was there, and the incident he caught her in with the three men wasn't a coincidence. She was sold off to pay a debt, she was meant to be raped to make things even. "I can feel it, her fear. She can't move for some reason, I know I didn't hurt her that badly. But it doesn't make up for the fact that I did" He said aloud.
The three looked to one another and felt his compassion to save the woman. "One of us should go with you, to be sure you do the right thing. On the other hand, this is what would probably be your saving grace." Dee announced.
"I think he should have at least something to detour him from feeding again. I see his victims only increase with each time he feeds. First it was four, then twelve." Stated Summer.
"Indeed, and him in a hospital…" muttered Mindy.
"I can control it, I don't have the urge to feed. Please, let me do this?" he asked.
As the sisters debated on the idea, Kane patiently awaited their decision. In the end, they agreed to let him go and do what he felt needed to be done. Kane smiled to them and thanked all three for their understanding. In a flash, he was gone once more before their eyes as he rushed back to the site of his first attack. "He better know what he's doing," muttered Dee as she turned to her sisters. "We better get back inside, Orton is walking through walls."
"Shouldn't we help the big red guy?" Mindy asked.
"We just did"
"No the one with the horns" stated Summer.
Dee thought it over. "Naw, he was dumb enough to piss off a Gypsy, let him suffer a while"
Meanwhile.
Kane had arrived at the hospital in less than an hour, his strength and speed had easily tripled, but he just learned he could fly when he came to the Canadian/US boarder. He found the hospital the woman stayed at and was quick to walk in and make amends. He came to the desk and questioned about the woman who was submitted a while ago with her blood drained. Much to the nurse's surprise, she stared at Kane oddly. "How did you know that?"
"Oh, I read in the paper" he lied.
"It was never published in the paper, husband's request"
'Shit!' Kane thought to himself. He could sense the nurse reach down for the security button, when Kane tried an odd tactic. "Forget what I said" he whispered lowly and made direct eye contact with the woman. Much to his surprise, she blinked a few time before she turned herself to look back at her computer. When she looked at Kane once more, she spoke to him as if they had just met.
"Can I help you sir?"
This time about, Kane had his story figured out without leading on to any suspicion. "I just received a call, my sister. She was hurt badly. Her blood was drained or something"
The nurse fully co-operated and announced she was just checked out by her husband no more than an hour ago. But she was concerned. "When she arrived, she was only drained partly of blood, there was a gash on her neck and easily fixed, yet she left in a wheel chair"
"Do you know where they went?" Kane asked.
The nurse didn't know, but she over heard the husband speak of a promise he had to keep. Kane felt a pit in his stomach as he rushed out of the hospital, he took deep calming breaths as he tried to figure out where she could have gone. It was then, he felt his mind slip from him as he saw through the perspective of his female victim. She was wheeled out of the hospital, sedated and drugged by her husband who vowed their money troubles would be over after tonight. He could make out streets and other landmarks he had seen before. Kane knew where she was being taken. But didn't have much time…
