A. Nonymous: Actually, I think there are many versions of what happened during the bombing in Japan, what I saw was about a young boy. I saw it together with my class in school. Since it was related to our topic (which was Japan), my teacher let us view the movie (By the way, our subject was history). And about the "Seussical the Musical", I've never heard about it…
MuSiCaNdY: My chapters? I'm not really sure, my estimate is around half an hour or less. But I don't post it right away, I usually read and reread it before I do. Normally, around five days or so before I post it. And if you got any suggestions for me to improve myself, I'll gladly accept it
Worker72: The Dragon Council and the Dark Dragon? Hm… That's an idea. To tell you the truth, I never thought of including anymore but maybe I will… just maybe…
AtomX: Although you didn't need to, I think it's cute that you post three reviews with exactly the same words. Weird… but cute
"You're sure they were there?" Jake asked Andy.
"Yeah" he replied. "Were"
After they quickly left the house, following Andy, the three arrived at the park but a bit too late.
"This cannot be good" Rose muttered as she looked at the empty surroundings. "I knew something like this was going to happen" she said worriedly then turned to Jake. "Oh Jake, we should have been more careful!" she said as she leaned in his arms, close to tears.
"Don't worry, Rose, we'll find her" Jake soothed, holding her tightly. "I promise" he said then looked to Andy. "Tell me everything that had happened"
"Well, J and I were walking around, talking about stuff. She was telling me about her mission-"
"Wait, hold up. Mission?"
"Yeah, you know, the one about the phenix, no wait, or was it phonix? Um… you know… the bird thing…"
"You mean phoenix?" Rose said as she left her husband's arms.
Andy nodded. "Yeah, that"
"How did Jade know about it?" Jake asked.
Andy gave a confused stare. "Huh? But I thought you told her"
Jake blinked for a second then scowled. "Fu" he growled. Rose smiled vaguely.
"Huh?"
"Never mind. Then what?"
"Well, we saw it fly through the sky-"
"You saw it! You saw the phoenix!" Jake exclaimed.
"Well, um… yeah…"
"Jake, stop it, you're making Andrew nervous" Rose said, placing a hand on her hips. She looked at Andy. "What happened after that?"
"JR was about to go dragon but… Chris came"
"Who?" Jake asked.
"Chris. He's a new boy in Jade's school" Rose answered.
"How'd you know that?"
"Jade told me" Rose said without looking at him. "Look, enough interruptions and let Andrew talk"
"Right. She left with him-"
"Why-" Jake began but shut his mouth when Rose glared at him.
"And I followed them deeper into the park. At some point, I lost sight of them. I was about to go home when I heard JR yell. I went to the source, found a blue dragon caught in a net surrounded by hooded people, the dragon turned into JR then I left to get you guys" Andy explained.
"Sphinx's hair" Rose said, talking about the net.
"But what about the other boy?" Jake asked.
"You mean Chris?"
"Yeah"
Andy looked down. "He was there"
"With JR?"
"No, with those hooded people"
Jake narrowed his eyes. "It must have been a trap set by the Huntsclan. So that would mean that that boy is-"
"The Huntsboy" Rose said.
Jake clenched his fists. "We've got to find Jade no matter what. And when I get my claws on that Huntsmaster, I swear I'll-"
Rose looked at Jake. "I think I know where to find our daughter and my uncle"
Jake stared back at her. "Then, let's go" he said. "DRAGON UP!" he yelled then transformed into a red dragon. Rose climbed on his back.
"Can I come along?" Andy asked hopefully.
"It's too dangerous, Andrew. You stay here" Rose said.
"No, wait" Jake said. Both Rose and Andy stared at him. "Go to the shop. You'll find a talking Shar-Pei. He's Jade's guardian, tell him where we're going and that" he said as he glowered slightly. "He's going to need a lesson on the meaning of confidential after all this is over"
"JR, please. Think about it, you can-"
"Chris, shut up. I will not join Huntsclan. Not now, not next year, not in a million years. Ever. Do you understand me? So drop it, will you?" JR said angrily.
"I don't want to hurt you, even more kill you" Chris replied.
"Then don't. Why do you always have to do what he wants? What about what you want?"
Chris looked down. "It doesn't matter what I want"
"What? How can you say that?"
"Look, I have to do it. I haven't got a choice!"
JR gaped at him then grew more furious. "YOU'RE A STUPID EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING, DID YOU KNOW THAT? I'M CHAINED TO A STUPID WALL AND ALL YOU CAN DO ACT DRAMATIC! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MAKE YOUR OWN DESTINY, YOU IDIOT!" JR yelled.
For moment, Chris was stunned at JR's unexpected outburst. He stared at her, she was breathing heavily but still glaring at him.
"Chris, you have your own mind, your own soul. But most of all you have your own heart, why can't you just follow it for once?" JR said, tears were falling from her face.
Chris stood up from his sitting position, still staring at her. "I am. I always had" he said.
JR looked at him.
"This is following my heart, JR. And my heart is to my sister" he said.
Surprising, huh? Chris has a sister! Ok, so I'm wondering, was the last part was a bit too theatrical? I sorta think the tears weren't really necessary but it seemed better to be there… hehe…
