Chapter 3: The Discussion and Goodbye
The five girls walked into the house and sat on the couch in the living room while everyone else left to give them some privacy except for Haley who was spying on them. "So, you're here because of a threat to earth that you know nothing about?" Will starts to answer Jakes when a fold appears behind Jake. "Hello, you ok?" Jake asked the five on the couch as he waved his hands in front of them. Then Jake turned around and his mouth fell open as someone walked through. "Who are you?" Jake asked
"I am the Oracle, right guardians?" Jake turned around to face the five on the couch. The girls smiled and nodded then Jake turned back around. "Jake, where is your grandpa, I would like to speak to him as well." After hearing that said, Jakes grandpa walked into the room. "Ah, Lou Shi, it is good to see you again my old friend." Everyone looked at them with blank stares. "I am here to tell the guardians why it is I have sent them here and what the problem is. Guardians; New York City is where the Demon Dominion will be attacking. That is also the problem, Demon's will be coming to earth, so you must be ready to help the American dragon defend earth." The Oracle explained.
"Hold on a minute, how do you two know each other and if I get in the way then the demons won't hesitate to kill my family and friends. There is no way I am putting my friends in danger!" Jake said getting frustrated.
"Young dragon, it doesn't matter how we know each other and besides, it is a long story. As far as putting your friends in danger, they won't be because they will be with the Oracle in Kandrakhar or on another planet altogether where they will not be reached. You must defend earth or else we may as well let the Dark Dragon come back and take over. I am sorry young dragon, but you are left with no choice. If you don't help, then I will be forced to take your dragon powers by order of the council." Jakes grandpa explained to him.
"Ah man!" Jake said defeated. "Fine, I will help, but only because my friends will be safe. So do we know what they are planning?"
"Unfortunately, no. So what exactly are we supposed to do until those good for nothing demons do something." Jake asked
"That is for you to decide Jake. Right now though, where are your friends?" The Oracle asked as Jakes family walked into the room with Spud and Trixie following close behind. "All of those without and special powers must come with me to Kandrakhar for your own safety." The Oracle said.
"Why should we go" Trixie was unable to finish her sentence because Jake cut in.
"Trixie, just go with him ok, please." Jake pleaded with Trixie to go.
"Ok Jake but, I think we could help with whatever it is. One thing though, what about Rose, shouldn't she be coming with us?" Trixie asked
"No Trixie, Rose has been trained to slay dragons, so that ability will be useful to us as we fight. I wish you could stay but you need to go, I am sorry Trixie." Jake said lowering his head. "Goodbye Trixie, goodbye Spud, goodbye mom and dad, I love you two." Then the group left leaving only Jake, his grandpa, Haley, Rose, and the guardians left in the house. "This isn't fair!" Jake screamed as he sat down on the ground as Rose walked in.
Earlier upstairs, Rose had been lead to her room and was now unpacking her stuff. She had three suitcases to unpack. As she unpacked she began to think. 'What if the demons go after my family, I can't make it all the way to Hong Kong in five minutes unless I am able to get to an old hunts-lair but even that will take time to get to and how will I even know if they are being attacked. Maybe it was a bad idea to come to New York City without my family. I should tell Jake that I need to head home, but that would break his heart, I can't do that again. He would understand though, but maybe the demons wont attack my family since they are my parents and I am Jakes girlfriend, that would mean that I wouldn't have to leave and hurt Jake, but what if Jake decides to interfere in their plans, then they won't be safe. What do I do?' Rose thought and when she snapped out of her little dream, she noticed that she had put everything away already. 'Wow, I unpacked fast.' Rose walked out of the room and started down the hall when she heard everyone talking. 'The Oracle person will take all the non magical people somewhere for safety. Does that mean that we are going to fight?' She looked down the stairs to find Jake saying goodbye to his family and friends. 'Poor Jake, at least his family will be safe.' Rose hears him scream. She looks down and finds him kneeling on the ground. Rose walks down the stairs and sits down next to Jake.
"Hey Rose." Jake said depressed. The two just sat there and cuddled and eventually fell asleep.
