Chapter 5: What The Letter Said

Dear Rose,

It's me, Jake. Listen. I know we're supposed to be mortal enemies, but I really need to talk to you.

It has been about three weeks now since I told you my secret and you transferred away. I know, I know. I should've tried to forget and move on...but I can't. I still care for you deeply in spite of our destinies.

Yeah, yeah. I know it's wrong of me to still have feelings for you. I'm a dragon, you're Huntsgirl. Enemies. It would probably never work. But I think differently. I think that even a couple like that could work. But only if the two agree on a truce. That would mean they agree to no longer try to destroy each other.

I would really love to call a truce with you. Because then everything would be settled and you could come back home where you belong. To Millard Middle School. To your friends...To me. I really miss you Rose. I don't know what I'll ever do without you. All I know is this: No matter what your heart decides, I'll always feel this way. I'll always love you, Rose.

Love,
Jake Long

Rose finished reading. She just stared at the screen, her eyes filling with tears. Jake still loved her, even though it was his destiny to hate her! To defeat her! He still loved her!

Rose read the note herself over and over until she heard someone turning her doorknob. She closed the page and quickly climbed into bed, pretending to be asleep.

The Huntsmaster came in and looked around then went back out, closing the door behind him.

Rose let out a quiet and very relieved sounding sigh.

"Tomorrow, she told herself in between choked sobs, Tomorrow I have to write him back, no matter what. I still love him too. We've just got to work this thing out!"

Rose heaved a deep sigh and then fell into a restless, dreamless sleep.
