I dedicate this chapter to Ada who is slowly dying inside due to slow updates. LOL

"Rose! Wake up please." Jacob said as he gently shook her. He got no response.

"Thanks a lot Fu." He said as he glared at the dog.

Fu chuckled loudly. "What? I cannot predict how people react if they see me and besides she was with you. don't tell me she has not seen you in your other form?"

"Of course."

"Hello? I am still here and I feel a bit ignored." Spud suddenly interfered.

Jacob eyebrow rose. "you're not screaming? Aren't you scared."

"For a dog that can talk? Please Jacob I am not that easily scared." He said accused

Jake turned his attention back to Rose she still had not stirred.

"I am taking her back to the cave. I will meet you there." Jacob said as he changed into his dragon form.

"And what do you expect us to do?" Fu said his paws folded in front of his chest.

"Enjoy yourself here or come back to the cave you know the way." Jacob said as he carried Rose in his arms bridal style and flew off by a strong flap of his wings.

Fu and Spud where now alone at the lake it was still midday and Spud knew Rose would be safe with Jacob. Even if he knew the dragon a day or two he was sure they would become good friends. His train of thoughts were interrupted by Fu.

"So.." Fu started. "what do we do now?"

"I don't know, we still have a few hours of sun left and I trust Jacob to take care of Rose. So you have something?"

"There is a thing we can do." Fu said as he searched in one of his many folds of skin. He pulled out a set of cards. "Ever heard of poker?"

Xxxx

Jacob was flying towards the cave and gave an occasional glance at Rose. Who looked as see was vast asleep.

She looks cute. Jacob thought as a smile formed on his face. She really looks good.

His face fell.

"but she would never like a dragon." he whispered to himself. He looked one last time at her angelic face and flew further.

As they reached the cave Jacob gracefully landed. He walked inside the cave and put Rose on a bed. he tucked her in and reverted into human form. He smiled as he saw he was done.

He smelled himself and groaned. "Time for a wash."

He took some clothes and walked towards the small waterfall in the back of the cave. He undressed and entered the water.

He let out a tired sigh and chuckled to himself. "the longest I have been in human form in years."

"It is a form that doesn't suit you." A female voice said.

Jacob groaned. "I assume you still want me to take the offer? Well not going to happen."

"No Jacob now I am just visiting you as a friend." The female said.

Jacob scoffed. "A friend. Don't make me laugh. As a friend. We are no friends."

The woman showed mock hurt. "That hurts Jacob."

"leave Thrishale, you are not welcome here." Jacob said utterly calm.

"So how is Rose." Thrishale said avoiding his last sentence

Jacob narrowed his eyes.

"Leave her alone." He hissed.

The woman nonchalantly lowered herself into the water.

"What? I just saw what happened at the lake. Can't a woman show interest in other people?"

"You stay away from her." Jacob said.

"To late I already met her. She looks nice from a distance and even nicer in person."

Thrishale swam through the little lake.

"I know you like her. Only my master doesn't know this yet. You know what will happen if he finds out."

"You would not dare." Jacob said.

"wouldn't I? You don't know me that well."

"If I something happens to her. I will come to hell myself and find you and make sure you will never hurt anyone again." Jacob said venom dripping from his voice.

The woman smiled evilly. "It is true about dragons love at first sight. I will keep my mouth shut but nothing comes for free."

"I will not take the offer. No matter what. I would never do that to the world."

Thrishale chuckled. "Like I said before I am here as a friend. I don't want you to take the offer. All I want is a simple kiss."

"Dream on, demon."

Thrishale turned her back on Jacob and swam towards the shadow. "too bad Jacob, Now I have to tell my master he has a new toy he can use against you."

Jacob cursed his luck as Thrishale almost entered the shadow he shouted.

"Wait…I will give you your kiss."

Thrishale smiled and turned towards Jacob. "I will make it easy for you."

Black ooze formed around her as it disappeared until there was no Thrishale anymore. But a copy of Rose.

"You bitch." Jacob hissed.

"What?" Thrishale responded with the voice of Rose. "Don't like what you see? Everything is just like the original."

She moved towards Jacob and swung her arms around his neck. "Make me enjoy it."

Jacob hesitated disgusted by the fact he had to kiss this monster. He sighed and made his mind go blank. He kissed her.

He tried to get loose but Thrishale would not let him she clutched his head so he could not pull away. She moaned into the kiss. Jacob could feel his hand move up to cares her hair. His dad's words from weeks after his mother died echoed within his mind

"Jacob when you find your soul mate. It will be a wonderful feeling. If you want to keep that feeling don't things you might regret. Like I did.

His eyes opened and he pushed Thrishale away.

"You have had your kiss, now leave please." He said his voice trembling and his head adverted in shame.

Thrishale had turned back into her own appearance and licked her lips. "That tasted good. You almost thought it was her don't you."

"Leave!" Jacob exploded. "Before something bad happens."

Thrishale smiled.

" Okay… I will leave." Thrishale said as she moved towards the shadow. "Till next time… Jake."

She disappeared in the shadow. Jacob got out of the wondering if he had done the right thing. He protected her didn't he. As he was dressed. He slumped on his knees and let out a feral roar which shook the entire cave. He started crying.

After a while a hand on his shoulder made him flinch and a voice asked him.

"Jacob?"

He turned and looked into the face of Rose who had lowered herself next to him a face full of concern.

"Rose." He whispered and clutched her neck and cried on her shoulder.

Rose slightly taken aback by his action. Slowly wrapped him in her arms as well and rocked him back and forth as a mother does with her child.

"It is okay. Don't say anything. just let it all pour out."
