Ok! So I managed to get this one out...it might be a bit short, but it's just building up to the next few chapters. Anywho, since I'm slowly adding more and more, and I only have 3 or so more chapters writen out, I'll start doing one once a day in order to allow me to write and post :) But I have exams coming up so that might be a short lived idea :P
So in other words, this is today's post!
Now, for the wonderful disclaimers that keep me on this side of the law: So, ADJL is not owned by yours truly, however, OCs, certain locations and of course, the plot are all my creative inventions, and yeah...enjoy! and review if you want!
==At the apartment.
"Violet, you have to be careful. She might just be emotionally attached to Jake and felt bad about having lied to him all those years ago that she wanted to make it up. But she might be keeping in contact with the Huntsclan. Give her the benefit of the doubt. Contact us again after you finish your patrol, and don't tell the Elder Dragon anything! I think he was lenient with Rose once, but I wouldn't count him to do it again. Bye honey, and good luck." Her mom said, hanging up the phone.
Vi put the phone down and then she went to the living room, preparing to be 'coming back' from her 'walk.' She went to open the door and outside stood a man with dark brown hair that fell to his eyes, he was a bit taller than she was and seemed to be quite muscular. He had his hand positioned as though he was about to press the door bell.
"May I help you?" Violet asked coolly.
"My, you've gotten quite beautiful."
Violet blanched, she had forgotten to put her bracelet on, and this freak was probably confusing her with Rose. Wait, how did he know she was here? That sneaky idiot! She is double crossing us! He's probably part of the Huntsclan! She decided to play with it, until she got a chance to knock him out. "Well, I'm flattered, how did you know I was here?"
He held a rose out and replied smoothly "I did my research dearest. Now that you're here, and alone, what do you say we start getting it on? Since the last time you denied my charms, how about giving me another chance?"
Violet was scared. He knew who Rose was, but it seems she didn't give him her address. "Well, aren't you persistent. But if I said no before, why would that change now?"
"Are you seriously asking me this baby? I tried to ask you out so many times when we were younger but you always told me that your heart was with someone else, that it was with that Stupid Jake Long!"
==In Rose's room, sometime before.
"Jake, I hear voices outside."
"Probably the neighbours"
"I'm going to check it out."
"I'll go with you."
Rose opened the door a crack and saw to her dismay, her sister being accosted by none other than Peter Avezon. Why wasn't she wearing her bracelet? "Jake, I'm going to change and help my sister, you keep watch by the door and let me know if things get dicey."
"Sounds good."
Rose finished changing and put her mask on, and went outside and scaled the wall, by walking on the ledge,to a window which led to the hallway some feet away from where Avezon was standing. She was about to knock him out when he heard him say "you always told me that your heart was with someone else, that it was with that Stupid Jake Long!" Rose had heard enough and promptly knocked him out, clearing the way to see her sister pale as ever.
"S-sis? I uh,-" And she fainted, and was caught by Jake before she fell to the ground.
"Nice moves Dragon Boy" Rose smirked.
"Thanks, I've had lots of practise. What say you and I get everyone in before the neighbours really start talking?"
"Sounds like a plan to me." Rose carelessly picked Avezon up and threw him in the elevator, letting the next poor soul that got into the elevator to deal with him and proceeded to go into the house. She closed the door and saw Jake putting Violet down on her own bed. Rose went and prepared some hot chocolate for when her sister woke up, which always made her better for when she was scared, worried or plain not feeling well. All of a sudden she heard someone behind her, they removed her mask and when she turned around, she saw Jake's smiling face. "So, you cared about me that much back then? Even to say no to him?"
"You sound so surprised Dragon Boy, give me some credit. And yes I liked you back then. That is, before I knew you were a dragon."
Jake looked crestfallen but Rose put her hand under his chin to raise his head back up so she could look into his eyes and said "But I love you now knowing you're a dragon."
Jake looked ecstatic and was about to kiss her but the microwave beeped, letting them know that the drink was ready. Rose took it out of the microwave and went to her sister's room and sat down on the bed beside her sister.
Violet woke up noticing that Rose sat down on the bed, her sister held a mug out and answered her unasked question "Jake caught you before you fell to the ground, so you have no physical injuries to speak of, however, if you have psychological injuries, I'm sorry."
Violet took the mug and secretly smiled at her sister for always knowing how to cheer her up. She took a deep breath, inhaling the sweet smell of cocoa, and noticing that Jake was lingering in the doorway, she spoke. "Jake, could you please come in ? I think we all need to talk and put our cards out on the table, and the three of us need to be here."
Jake went in and sat beside Rose, putting an arm around her waist. Hmm, did I miss something? Violet thought. Out loud she said, "First of all, I'm going to beg for forgiveness. Rose, I'm truly, truly sorry for believing you to be part of the Huntsclan, I guess I was sort of mad that you took our protocol and shoved it out the window like it was nobody's business. But after seeing Mr. Smooth, I can clearly note that the last thing you wanted was to have any sort of things tying you down to the Huntsclan."
Rose then proceeded to hug her sister hard, surprising Violet, when she let go she smiled and replied "Vi, I can totally understand what you were feeling, I mean, I would have felt the same if my sister came out of nowhere and seemed like they wanted to change sides for no good reason."
Violet looked down at her drink before responding "Ok, now, I think that we should just have you explain some stuff for us, and if you don't mind I want to hear all of it, but first, well, I kind of lied. I gave the impression that I had left, and I continued to listen for you guys for a while and then went to my room to call mom and dad to tell them what happened. Then I was going to the door to finish the pretension of me having gone out, but Handsome showed up. By the way, you're going to have to tell me where he is."
Suddenly Jake's phone rings "Hello?"
"Jakey where the hell are you? We've been looking all over for you, and we're with your Gramps, Fu and Haley here trying to figure out where the blazes you are!"
"Um, I'm fine, just give me a second." Looking to the twins, he says, covering the mouthpiece. "It's Trixie, Spud, Gramps, Fu and Haley, what do I do?"
"Jake, I think that we should get everyone here. Even your Gramps, we'll need everyone we can get and if we have any secrets, we'll not be successful. Vi, hold off on getting all the info on Handsome until the dragon team gets here, that way we can do it all at once. Also, I think that we should put our bracelets on so that they don't freak at not only seeing me, but two of me!" Rose gulped.
Jake nodded and went to tell Trixie to get to the apartment, while Rose got both hers and Vi's bracelets and put them on. Violet finished her drink and, thanking her sister, got up from the bed. She was still wobbly and leaned on her sister for support. They went out to the living room and Jake shut his phone off letting them know he was done talking, and turns around to face the two girls. He attempted to suppress the feeling of amazement at how different the girls looked with their bracelets on. However, it seems that Rose caught it "come on Dragon Boy, don't tell me you've never seen people wear disguises?"
As Violet sat down on one of the sofa chairs Jake replied "wear disguises yeah, but completely change everything about them so that they look nothing like themselves? Not really."
"There's a first time for everything Dragon Boy. I'm going to cover my birthmark as well, the last thing I need is to have people figuring it our beforehand and going berserk."
"Like I did?"
"Don't push your luck Dragon Boy"
Oooh, looks like the meeting of the century! And who will find poor Peter? Only I, and the computer know! So review, make me happy and enjoy! Next update is tomorrow!
