RenaeAurora: No offense taken. I'm glad you actually found something to criticize about me. You're right, the story isn't too realistic but I'm not too good at those things coz' I like fantasies (really, I daydream everyday especially in school). What do you mean by the whole unicorn thing in one word lame? Sorry but I don't get it too much. And you're right that it was too easy for JR (I'm sorry you hate the name) to control her powers. And I really agree that my fic is totally predictable but it's just how I do my stories, kinda (I suck at mysteries). If you're willing to help, I'd gladly accept lessons :)…hehe… And one last thing, um, is 15 young? Hehe…
coolgirlc: I'm sorry if I haven't been answering your reviews, it's just that I reply only to those who have questions or suggestions or something like that. But thank you for reviewing!
sonic626: The Drake Long character you've made is really nice and interesting. But the thing is, Chris' parents are already dead (it's mentioned in this chapter) so he can't have your character as his father. And if he does, that would mean that Drake and Rose are cousins so Rose and Jake will be cousins since Drake and Jake are brothers which is kinda weird. Also, I'm planning to end the story soon, the chapters are getting too much. But thanks for suggesting though. One last thing, I've tried the link but I can't find the images… sorry…
AtomX: I'll try to make him as interesting as possible. If you have any ideas though, I'm listening…
Worker72: I'll see what I can do
horseluver101: You guys really what the dragon council to be in this, don't you? Hm… I'll see what my mind can come up with
ADJL-Freakazoid: No more suspense? We'll see…
A. Nonymous: I'm glad you liked the conversation
CelloSolo2007: Thanks, I was worried that they weren't into character
MuSiCaNdY: Actually, Chris doesn't want to kill JR but thinks he doesn't have a choice (though it changes in this chapter)
Besides that, I'm glad you really like the added brother of Chris (Your reactions are really funny). To tell you the truth, I never thought to have him when I started this story but it sorta popped into my mind while I was typing so I just included it… :)
One more thing, I hope the ending of this chapter is ok…
Jake landed on a building. Rose jumped off his back and he turned back into a human.
"Where are we?" he asked.
"My uncle's house" Rose said. She went to the edge and pointed to a rather large house.
Jake looked at it. "I remember this place. It was where you threw me out" he said.
Rose laughed. "I can recall. Sorry about that"
Jake smiled. "Not like we can do anything about anymore, right?"
"Right"
Then, he looked at her. "What are we doing here anyway?"
Rose's expression turned serious. "It's the best lead we have in finding Jade"
Jake stared at her before looking back at the house. It was really dark since it was already late at night. No light could be seen, not even on the streets expect for one.
"Look" he said, indicating the window to the upper left. "Someone's in there"
"Do you think it could be my uncle?"
"Only one way to find out" Jake replied. He was about to turn into a dragon when Rose grabbed his arm.
"Look carefully" she said. Her voice was lower now.
Jake raised an eyebrow then looked around at the streets. He couldn't see much but he could sense movement. He looked at the front door, there were shadows watching the house.
"Huntsmen" he said. "They're guarding something… or someone"
"And I think we know who" Rose said.
"Then let's kick some Huntsclan butt!" he said then turned into a dragon and charged at the Huntsmen.
"Your…?"
"My sister" Chris said. "The Huntsclan has been watching her ever since I joined them, ever since our parents died. My grandfather knows how much I care for my sister. He'll kill her if I don't do as he says. So now, do you understand? I have to do this" he said, looking directly at JR's eyes.
"Then why don't you escape?"
"We can't, not that we haven't tried. There are too many guards around her. The Huntsmen are watching her every move. Huntsmaster even got a few captured magical creatures to watch her"
"But how can you even take the Huntsmaster seriously? I mean, he wouldn't kill his own flesh and blood, right?"
Chris looked away. "He did once, to my parents. What's stopping him from doing it again?"
JR stared at him. "… I… I'm sorry, I didn't know…" she said softly.
"Don't apologize, it's not your fault" Chris relied. "The thing is, my heart was to my sister but now…" he said, looking at her once again. "She isn't the only one anymore…"
JR was silent and closed her eyes. She knew what he was talking about but wasn't sure of what to say. She opened her eyes when she felt a hand wiping the tears from her face. Chris tucked some of her hair that had fallen to her face behind her ear. And before JR knew it, she fell down from the wall on all four. She was surprised as she stared at the floor before looking up. Chris has his back on her. JR slowly stood up, rubbing her wrists.
"Chris?" she asked quietly.
"You should leave now" he said.
"What about your sister?"
"I'll think of something"
"But-"
"Go before he comes back"
"I can-"
"What are you waiting for?"
"I just-"
"You're wasting time"
"Look, I-"
"I said go. You're going to get-"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP A SEC AND LET ME TALK!" JR shouted angrily. Chris jumped a bit.
"Sorry" she added when he turned to face her. "But you wouldn't let me finish my sentences. I just want to do something first before I go"
Chris raised an eyebrow in question but JR didn't reply. He sighed. "Ok but we need to make it quick. What is it?"
"Do you promise that we'll do it?"
"Yes"
"Really?"
"Yes"
"No matter what it is?"
"Yes"
"You're sure you won't-"
"Yes already. We have to hurry!"
JR smiled. "Fine then. Let's go rescue your sister" she said.
"Alright, let's go rescue my- WHAT!" Chris exclaimed.
"Let's go rescue your sister. Come on" JR said, taking his hand.
"No way. Forget it. I told you, there are too many guards, it's too dangerous. You better go now. I can take care of-" he stopped. Actually, he could have continued if JR hadn't kissed him.
JR smiled. "Now, let's go"
… hehe… Um… ideas for the upcoming chapters…?... :)
