I was pretty upset when Rose wished for the destruction of the hunts clan , including herself. ): I also saw many one-shots bout what would happen if Jake was too late :O So I decided to try one of my own! (:

"By the power of the Aztec skulls, I hereby wish for the destruction of all--" The Hunts Master was struck down by a green beam. Behind him stood Hunts girl, or better known as Rose. The 13th Aztec floated down into her hands.

"The destruction of all Hunts Clan!" She continued. Everyone stared as the skulls shot energy into the sky, causing a green shock wave to pulse throughout the city. Each Hunter's birthmark began to glow. In struggles and screams, one by one they floated into the sky, in a scream of pain, vanished, as though sucked into a bottomless vortex.

The entire Hunts Clan...That would include Rose too... Jake thought as Rose began to unlock the chains that bound him. He got up and walked pass her, transforming back into his human form. "Rose! What did you--?!" Jake turned back to her.

"I said there was only one way this could end and this is it. With the destruction of the Hunts Clan." Rose explained.

"But you're one of them," Jake rested his hands on her shoulders, "that means..."

"I know what it means." She turned away from him. Turning back, she lifted his hands from her shoulders, "But even if we destroy the Aztec skulls, they know your human identity, Jake. They'll find your family like they did mine. This way...They'll be safe.. They'll all be safe." Rose managed a sad smile. A whirring sound could be heard. Rose knew it was time. She lifted her hand into the sky. Taking Death's hand without hesitation.

"No... no..." Jake muttered under his breath, staring into the ground. Putting his hands into a fist with so much strength that his knuckles were turning white. He shut his eyes, hoping this was all a bad dream. But it wasn't. He lifted his head. "No!" He grabbed her hand. "No. Please...." He wasn't ready. Rose had so much more in life. This isn't fair. For her to be ruthlessly ripped apart from her family. For her to be forced to live like this. She sacrificed so much. Let her live.. She doesn't deserve to die. This wasn't her choice. This is not what she deserves... She's done nothing wrong... Jake thought angrily. Tears threatened to pour out of his eyes. He pulled harder.

"Jake.." Rose muttered. "Let go... This is what I want.. This.. This is what I need to do." With a sad smile, She continued, "I accept this.. please. Let go, Jake."

"You don't deserve this!" Jake screamed. "You deserve a normal life!" Rose shook her head slightly. Carefully, she pulled her hand out of Jake's grip. "No!" Rose floated up into the sky. Jake panicked. Seeing the Aztec skull near him, he grabbed it and lifted it over his head. Lao Shi put his hand on Jake's arm and shook his head.

"To use them for your personal gain, it wou--"

"It wouldn't be for my personal gain! It would be for hers!" Not waiting for approval, Jake lifted it higher, "I wish Rose was never taken by the Hunts Clan!" Nothing happened. Rose arched and in a blue glow, she disappeared. "NO!" Jake screamed. In anger, Jake threw the skull he had in his hands into the ground. One by one, in numerical order, the Aztec skulls exploded, destroying the gargoyles that held them as well. "The skulls are destroyed! Are you happy now?! Isn't this what you all cared about?!" Jake screamed at them, tears spilling uncontrollably out of his eyes. He turned back to the balcony and transformed back into Dragon form. He flew out into the sky, without direction.

Jake landed at each of the places Rose and him had been to together. Be it fighting or just another one of their dates. From the physical to the Dream world. He went to each place. Shutting his eyes, trying to relive the memories engraved in his mind. Replaying every single time he closed his eyes, so often that it started to hurt. His emotional pain was getting almost too hard to bear. It was making it hard to breathe.

He descended in Central Park. He walked over to the field that Rose and him had spent winter in. He walked to the center of the field and shut his eyes. "I miss you, Rose." He scrunched his eyes. "It's so hard to bear... It's just so empty without you.." His muscles tensed. "I...i wish I had gone with you." Maybe it's not too late to do that.. He added silently.

"Jake.. You gettin' too upset about Rose, It's time to let go..." A voice said, not further that 4 feet.

Jake's eyes slowly opened. It was Trixie. He closed his eyes again. Trying to numb the pain nawing at his soul. " She's not just a crush.. She.." His eyes shot open, his eyes glowing bright red. " I love her! And now she's gone.. I was too late.." He shouted, both thinking aloud and shouting at Trixie.

"It wasn't your fault. Jake. She chose this. She chose to sacrifice herself to save us, to save you. She wouldn't want to see you like this."

Jake sighed. His eyes returned to their normal, calm black. "You're right.. She wouldn't want to see me like this..." He rubbed a palm down his face and paused. "I'm not going back, Trixie. I haven't decided about what I want to do.. but I know that I'm not going back.."

"What?! They're your family! You can't possibly do this to them! What are you going to do?! Take your own life?!" Trixie exclaimed, pinching the bridge of her nose. I shouldn't have said that.. She thought.

Jake stayed silent. "You have to go back, Jake. Do you really want your family to feel the exact same way you do now? Do you really want to leave them wondering what the hell happened to their Jake?!"

Jake turned away from her. "I don't know." With that, he jumped up and flew into the sky.

"Jake..." Trixie stared at his disappearing form, "What happened to you?"

Days passed....Weeks passed....

I can't help feeling like this... I.. I just need to see her... to feel her presence with me, beside me... Jake thought while flying. Suddenly, a jolt of pain shot through Jake's body. His back arched from the pain. Even though his body was failing, he felt better. The physical pain blocked the emotional pain, even if it was only for awhile. Jake grabbed his chest in pain. Another jolt came, and it felt like something was trying to tear out of him. The last jolt came and he fell into unconsciousness.

"Jake?" A voice tore through the numb confusion of his brain, like when your ears are blocked. "Jake?! Wake up!" Jake forced his eyelids open, only for them to droop back over his eyes. Someone slapped my face, "Ouch!" He shot up rubbing his cheek. "Sorry, I just wanted to wake you," Jake turned and looked at the person's face.

"Rose?!" He whispered. "ROSE!" He grabbed her into a tight hug. "Rose, Oh my God...I've missed you.." He felt her hug him back just as eagerly. He held her, not letting go, as if he was afraid that if he let go, he would never be able to let go. "Please don't leave..."

"I won't.. I was always there.." Rose whispered in his ear, rubbing his back in circles. "I've been watching you. You're really torturing yourself, you know?" A tear glistened in her eye. "It's painful for me too, I mean what are you thinking?!" Rose pulled away and grabbed his face, squishing his face together. "Firstly, Don't you EVER think of ending your life!" She squished his face even more for effect. "Second, Do you even know what you're putting your family and friends through?!?! Third, Do you even have the slightest idea of what you are doing to me?!" She stared at him. Jake just watched her through his squished face. She then kissed him with so much emotion, you would have thought it impossible for her to have. Jake was caught off guard, but recovered quickly, kissing her back. Her hands started ruffling his hair and the kiss grew more passionate. Jake pressed her closer to him, so close that they're bodies were molded together. Rose pushed him backwards and he fell backward lying on the floor, straddled at the waist.

"Still, I don't like you squishing my face." He smiled, to show that he was joking. His eyes wandered for once from Rose and he asked, "What is this place?" They were sitting in a park where almost everything was white, flowers decorated the grass, and a fountain sat in the middle of the entire park.

"I guess this is something like heaven.." Rose responded, rolling off Jake and onto the floor beside him. Jake propped himself up on his elbow and just watched her, enjoying her presence. An internal clock rang and Rose's face which was filled with happiness soon was filled with disappointment. "I have to go.."

"What?! No! I just got you back..." Jake stuttered. "You said you'll never leave me.." Rose caressed his cheek.

"I know and I won't. But for now, I have to go.." Rose said sadly.

"No.." Rose got up and ran. "NO! Don't go!!" Jake said, getting up and running after her. Rose started to fade away. The more he chased, the more she faded. Jake collapsed onto his knees in exhaustion. "Please! Don't go.... I need you...I-I love you.." Rose tried unsuccessfully not to cry. She turned back and tried to smile—all she managed was a sad, crooked smile as the tears streaked down her face. Who would have it possible to cry in heaven?

"Don't worry.. Everything will be fine..." Rose began to believe herself and her voice rang loud and confident, "You'll see." She didn't know where this confidence was coming from. She just knew, or she thought she knew. Then she was gone.

Jake fell into a deep black hole. Voices. Jake scrunched his face, trying to block the noises. What's that thing moving him? Voices started again, this time louder. They were speaking in...Chinese?

TBC...
