Worker72: Yeah, let's hope...for Jake's sake...
kimmie555: Guess you'll just have to wait and read to find out!
silversilk-89: Thanks for saying all that! It's made my day! Yeah, poor Rose!
Chapter 12 Second Thoughts
Jake growled at Rose.
"I'll only tell you once, Rose. You'd better let me out of here, so I don't have to barbecue you!"
Rose was still in shock about Jake. She pointed at him.
"Jake! It's you,... You're the American Dragon...!"
Jake sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Yep..."
Just then, Rose realized something really important!
"Wait a second! That's why you dumped me! You found out my secret!"
Jake was happy that she finally knew why he'd dumped her. Not because he had lost interest in her, but because they were mortal enemies. He looked at Rose.
"That's right..." after a quick pause, he said, "You gonna let me go now?"
Rose sighed.
'I wish I could...' she thought.
"No." she told Jake.
Jake sighed.
"Aww man...!"
A few hours passed, and Jake as still trying to think of a way to get out of his chains and sneak out unseen. Then, he had a sudden thought!
Maybe, he thought, I can flatter her to the point where she frees me!'
"Oh well, Jake muttered, It's worth a shot..."
He grinned at Rose.
"Y'know, you're pretty cool, for a member of the Huntsclan..."
He winked at her.
Rose sighed, and loooked at him.
"No..."
Jake was confused.
"No what?"
Rose glared at him.
"I mean, no I'm not letting you go.."
Jake glared at her.
"Aww! C'mon! Why not!"
"Because, Rose began, you're my prisoner, and dragon or human- she gulped- I'm slaying you in the morning..."
Realizing Rose wouldn't help hm, Jake decided to take matters into his own hands.
"Fine! Who needs your help? Head of the dragon!"
His dragon head appeared.
Rose tried to warn him.
"Be careful, those chains are 100-
Jake bit the chains, but they were harder than he thought, and they hurt his teeth.
"YEOWCH!"
"Dragon proof..." Rose finished.
Jake moaned.
"Aww, man...!"
Then he had another idea!
"Fine, if my teeth won't work, I'll just have to break the chains with my muscles.."
Rose folded her arms.
"This oughtta be amusing..."
"Dragon up!" Jake said, and transformed into his dragon form. ""Yeah! Ain't nothin' that can hold the M Drag down for long! Now..."
He began pulling at the chains with hs dragon strength.
Rose rolled her eyes.
"He's never going to break free..."
Jake finally managed to break one chain, and he sent it into the air.
"Yeah! Uh-huh! You see that, Huntsgirl? You see that? Woo!"
Suddenly, the chain fell on top of his snout, tying his mouth completely shut. He groaned, trying to snap it off by opening his mouth in what little ways he could, but failed to succeed.
Rose couldn't help giggling. Jake looked so funny! She still couldn't believe that she was going to slay him tomorrow...She began to have second thoughts about that.
'Oh, if only there was a way to avoid what I have to do...' she thought sadly as she watched Jake still attempting to break free.
Heaving a deep sigh, she walked by him, and untied the chains from his snout. Rose wasn't sure what was more important now. Being initiated into the Huntsclan, or saving the life of Jake, who she'd realized such a short time ago she loved...
