Chapter Three - Oracle's Secret, Dragon Brother

The rest of Jake's weekend went about as well as he'd expected. He'd spent the morning skating with Spud and Trixie, and the afternoon training with Grandpa, preparing himself for his next encounter with the Huntsmaster's newest henchman, Huntsboy. Not much could be said by Jake about the boy except that this one was alot stronger than Rose was.

It was now Monday morning. Jake was just heading out the door with his skateboard and made it halfway down the street before he met up with someone he hadn't expected to see: Sara and Kara, the Oracle Twins. He quickly ran over. "Sara... Kara... What are you two doing here?"

"We have something to tell you," Sara said cheerfully.

Jake looked at her. "What's up? Is someone in trouble? Is that Huntsboy here?" Jake adjusted his helmet on his head, ready to dash off if he needed to.

"The good news," Kara said dully, "you have a brother."

Sara stepped beside her sister. "The bad news is he's evil, and he goes to your school."

Jake scratched his head. "Okay..."

"He's only going to be there a week though," Kara said.

"But then he's going to be staying with your grandfather. He's a dragon, and, despite the fact he's evil, your grandpa wants to start training him." Sara kept the smile on her face as she told Jake this.

Jake had grown used to the weird news he'd gotten from the twins, but that didn't make it any easier to deal with. "Thanks for the head's up, you two."

"You'll be seeing Huntsboy again soon," Sara added before taking off with her sister.

Jake pushed off of his skateboard, and arrived at the school, where he saw Trixie and Spud at their lockers.

"Hey, Jake," Spud said puling a lunchbag out of his locker and sniffing it. Unfortunately Jake and Trixie caught a whiff of the contents as well.

"Spud, what have you got in there," Trixie said, holding her nose.

"Leftover casserole from dinner, why?" Spud smiled a bit as he grabbed a book from his locker before putting the bag back in and closing it.

"Watch where you're going," said a voice down the hall a bit. A boy wearing a grey jacket with a hood on it walked down the hall. Stopping to look at Jake, he raised an eyebrow. "Heh, well whaddaya know. Jake Long. I was wondering when we'd meet face to face." The boy pushed Jake aside as he got into his locker.

"Excuse me," Jake said, returning the look the boy gave him. "Do I know you,"

"Name's Drake," he said coldly. "What's it to you?"

"This dude's got an attitude problem," Spud said as he and Trixie headed down the hall toward their first class.

Suddenly Jake remembered what Sara and Kara had told him. "Let me guess, you're my brother."

Drake took the hood off his head. He looked exactly like Jake but had brown hair isntead of black and it was spiked back instead of spiked forward as Jake's was. "Good guess,"

"Look, if you've got a problem with me, take it up with me after class. I don't have time to mess with you right now," Jake turned away heading for his class.

"Whatever you say"

And with that, Drake shoved past Jake, knocking him into the lockers beside him. Jake dusted himself off as he made it to his class, sitting down just as the bell rang.
