Chapter 8: The Trap

Rose and Jake both flew toward the hunts clan's lair when something fell off of Rose. Rose dove down and caught the object. Seeing what the object is, she smiled to herself and caught back up with Jake. Jake asked what the object is and Rose showed him the object. It is a picture of her Jake and the twins at the hospital right after the twins were born. Rose never put the picture down and never would. This is the picture that reminds her how much her husband means to her and how much she loves the twins. "Jake, let's hurry, I can't allow the twins to be hurt by the clan." Rose said as the two sped up toward the lair. When the two arrived however, they couldn't seem to find it. They looked everywhere but couldn't find it. It appeared to have been torn down in one day because another building is being built in its place. "Jake, we have to head back and talk to your grandpa." So the two headed back to Jakes home quicker then ever.

In the hunts clan's lair, the hunts master had tied up the two young children to posts with regular sphinx hair. He had figured out they were dragons when they didn't seem to move when he got close to them with the sphinx hair. "Dragons, the only reason you're alive right now is to get your darling parents here. We don't want to leave them out of the fun now do we? Though only one will see your deaths however. This is a trap if you haven't figured it out by now. Do you understand what is going to happen to you?" The twins frightened faces told him they understand. "Good, however, if your parents don't arrive in one hour, you die any way. True, that will defeat the satisfaction of seeing your mother scream when you die but hey, she will scream anyway when she sees your dead bodies. They may have a hard time finding it though, since I did disguise it as a building in the process of being built. They have fifty five minutes, so they had better hurry." He laughed as he told everyone to hide. "It's a good thing that we will be with every hunts clan from around the world in about fifty four minutes."

Jake and Rose had just arrived at his house ten minutes after they left. "Grandpa, I need to talk to you." Then Lao Shi walked into the room to find Jake and Rose panting. "Gramps, the hunts clan moved their lair and now a new building is being built in its place."

Lao Shi thought about this for a minute and then went to the computer. He had spent ten minutes looking up things on disguises and finally found the right one. "Jake, that new building you said that is being built may not actually be a new building." Jake and Rose looked at Lao Shi confused and he noticed this. "You see Jake; the huntsmen may have used a spell to disguise their building to throw you off. This also means that the entire building will look different to those that didn't see it change which will leave you two with a major disadvantage. If you plan on rescuing your kids, you must be extra cautious doing so. Remember, that even the Ultimate Dragon is weak behind his ear and Rose will be helpless if they still have the golden sphinx hair." Lao Shi explained to the two. 'Be careful when you go to get your children and good luck." Then the two parents thanked Lao Shi and flew off back toward what looks like a new building.

The two had been tired from all the flying they did so it took twenty nine minutes to get their even after Lao Shi's ten minute discussion. They had finally arrived and new that they could be in trouble but were willing to risk it for their kids.

In the hunts clan's lair, the hunts master is counting down. "Three, two," but before he could finish, Jake and Rose burst through the building. "Good, you're here, now let's talk." The hunts master said calmly.

"No way hunts punk, you took our kids and we want them back." Jake yelled getting ready to attack when a hunts clan member pulled out his staff and held it to the twins' neck. "No!" Jake yelled.

"So, are we going to talk or should I kill them right here and now?" Then the two bowed their heads in defeat and agreed to talk to him. "Good dragons." Then he told the hunts clan member to put his staff down. "Before we talk however, I want to congratulate you on finding out my disguise, job well done and right before I killed your twins to. Did you know that the two are dragons?" Jake and Rose were pretty sure that their kids were dragons but they didn't want to give their hopes up even though they do have the new mark. "You didn't know, how sad that the parents don't even know their own kids."

"Enough with the small talk huntsman, what do you want?" Jake asked getting irritated with the man holding their kids prisoner.

"Me, use small talk, never." The hunts master said mockingly. "Let's make a trade shall we. Let's say, you two give up and I will let the twins go or I can just kill them now, it's up to you." Both Jake and Rose thought about it and asked if he would really let them go. "Of course I will let them go and all you two have to do is give yourselves up."

"You have to swear that you will not harm them at all and that they will be let go and let me see your figures to make sure they aren't crossed." Jake said making sure that he wouldn't double cross them.

Then the hunts master showed them his hands and the two finally gave and he released the two children. "See now, I am not one to go back on my promise." After he said that two golden sphinx haired nets where thrown on the two. Then the kids were captured again by members of the clan.

"You said you would let them go huntsman!" Jake yelled but was then hit on the left ear by a hunts clan member.

"I did let them go but I never said that they wouldn't harm them. Go check his brain waves; I can't have him coming back." Then a member checked his brain waves and they came out negative. "Good let's go and grab the traitor and the twins."

"No, Jake!" Rose yelled again. "He can't be gone; he is the only hope left." Rose said as tears fell down her cheeks and being dragged away at the same time.

A/N: Yep, take got hit behind the ear and Rose is captured again. Things seem to be looking down for the two heroes. I will try to update again soon so until then please update and thank for the other reviews. Until next time.
