Two weeks had passed since Jake and Rose's children had vanished. Sarah and Chris, Serena's parents, had called about Serena. Jake told them what had happened and he had told them the plan. They understood and the stayed out of the way. Finally they were off to find them. Andrew had been sniffing the piece of clothing for the last two weeks and had the smell down pat. He could tell if the Huntsman was around or not, and he knew where he lived.
"How much farther?" asked Rose.
"Not to much," answered Andrew in his golden retriever form.
"Why aren't you the wolf again?" asked Jake.
"I'm walking down the middle of New York, surrounded by people," he answered. "Don't you think a wolf would attract a lot of attention?"
"True," said Jake.
"This way it looks like you're walking your dog," said Andrew.
They continued to walk for about ten minutes when they reached a large building.
"This is it," said Andrew. "He's probably on the top floor."
"Then let's go," said Jake turning into a dragon.
Rose jumped onto his back and they took off for the top of the building.
"Hiiyaa," screamed Matt as he drove his staff into a fake dragon.
"Very good my young apprentice," said the Huntsman.
For the last two weeks the Huntsman had been training the boy and girl. The girl wasn't as good, because she was younger, but she was better then most of the clan. The boy however, was much more skilled then even himself. The boy was finishing the training sessions with lightning fast times.
"Anymore training to do today master?" asked the new Huntsboy, Matt.
"Not today," said Huntsman. "Let's go inside and get something to eat."
"How about you die, and then give us our kids back," said a voice from behind them.
The Huntsman and Huntsboy turned to see the American dragon, the original Huntsgirl, and a Pterosaur standing on the roof.
"Gahh," screamed the Huntsman. "You have pestered me for far to long. Huntsboy attack."
"With pleasure," he said as he jumped at the group.
"A new Huntsboy?" asked Rose. "Who is it? Is it that boy who wanted me to marry him?"
"No someone you won't expect," said Huntsman, wickedly.
Huntsboy turned and shot his staff at Rose and the Pterosaur, incasing them in a green bubble. Then focused on Jake.
"You're going to be my ticket into the Huntsclan, dragon," he said.
Matt had forgotten that this was his father. He didn't recognize his mom in the Huntsgirl's outfit and he had completely forgotten about the changeling.
"I'm sorry," said Jake. "You're not using me to get into the Huntsclan. You're not even going to be in the Huntsclan when I'm finished with you."
The two started fighting. Jake shot flames and fireballs at the Huntsboy, and the Huntsboy shot his green energy stuff at Jake. Finally Huntsboy hit Jake hard enough to break his wing. Jake hit the rooftop. The Huntsboy threw something that pinned Jake down to the roof.
"I've got you now dragon," he said as he raised the staff.
"Huntsboy," said the Huntsman. "Show this dragon your identity before he dies. This way he'll have the displeasure of knowing who killed him."
"Very well master," said Huntsboy.
He stepped back and removed his mask. Jake and Rose gasped. Their son was the new Huntsboy and he was about to kill his own father.
"Matthew Long," screamed Rose. "How dare you."
"What did you just call me, traitor?" snapped Matt.
"I called you Matthew Long," she yelled. "Release me now or you'll be grounded."
"Please," he snickered. "What are you my mother?"
"As a matter of fact," she said. "I am."
She removed her mask, to reveal to Matt his mom Rose. Matt stopped snickering.
"MOM!" he said in a shocked tone. Then it hit him.
"OH NO," he screamed. "WHAT HAVE I DONE?"
"Kill the dragon," said the Huntsman. "That's an order."
"But I can't," said Matt. "He's my dad."
"I don't care if he was the King England," said Huntsman. "Kill him."
Matt looked at his parents, then at the Huntsman. He raised his staff.
"I'm sorry," he said.
The staff came down on Jakes head, knocking him out. Then he turned and shot the Huntsman right off the roof. He released his mom.
"Matt," she said.
"Don't come any closer," he said.
"Honey," she said. "I know what it feels like. I had this same problem. I had to pick between my family or the Huntsclan."
"I'm not your son anymore," he said. "I hurt you real bad. I'm not part of the Huntsclan either, I hurt him real bad. I'm a nobody. Cheryl's downstairs in room twenty eight."
With that said he jumped off the roof to the next one and took off into the night. Then Jake woke up.
"Where's Matt?" he said, getting up.
"He's gone," whispered Rose. "He's never coming back."
"What?" asked Jake.
"He says he doesn't belong anywhere," she said. "He said he's a nobody."
Rose started to cry again. This time Jake knew there was no way he could comfort her. Her son wasn't going to come back.
"He said your daughter was in room twenty eight down stairs," said Andrew.
"Thanks," said Jake.
"Would you like me to get her?" he asked.
"No I'll get her," said Jake. "You stay with Rose."
Jake walked down the stairs, to the room. He knocked.
"Yes," said a girls voice behind the door.
"Its daddy sweety open up," said Jake.
"Daddy," she screamed as she opened the door. "I missed you. Matt's been bad."
"I know," said Jake holding his daughter in his arms.
He carried her up to the roof. When Rose saw her she ran to her.
"Cheryl," she cried hugging her daughter tightly. "Are you ok?"
"Yes mommy," she said. "Where's Matt?"
"I don't know," she answered.
Suddenly Serena appeared.
"Mr. and Mrs. Long," she said. "Are you here to rescue me to?"
"Yes dear," said Rose. "We'll take you back to your parents."
"Ok," she said.
"Andrew do you think you could fly her home?" asked Jake.
"Yep," he answered. "Get on."
Serena climbed onto his back. Then he took off for Serena's house.
"Let's go home," said Jake.
"Why was I such an idiot?" he stormed at himself. "My parents, my own parents! How could I?"
Matt had fled to a nearby cave, where he had decided to spend the night. He knew he'd have to find somewhere to live, so he could survive.
"I'll check the papers for info tomorrow," said Matt. "Then I can start over."
That was the longest night in his entire life.
Four days later……"Jake," said Gramps. "I know he made up his mind, but you must find him."
"I can't," said Jake. "He wants to be independent then he'll get it."
"You must train him," said Gramps. "If you don't…"
"I'll train Cheryl when she is old enough," said Jake. "That's final."
Gramps looked taken back.
"Well then if you have made up your mind then so be," said Gramps. "I'll see you again in five years."
With that he walked into the back room of his shop.
"You didn't need to be so mean about it," said Fu. "See ya."
Jake walked out of the store, feeling like the biggest jerk ever. Suddenly his Grandfather ran out of the shop.
"Jake!" he screamed. "The unicorns are under attack. They'll be wiped out if you don't help them."
"I'm on my way," said Jake. "Don't worry."
"Thank you young one," said Gramps.
"No problem," said Jake. "I'll do anything for you. You'll always be my Grandpa."
When Jake arrived he saw the unicorns running every which way. The Huntsclan was shooting at them. Huntsman was still alive.
"Didn't you learn your lesson already?" asked Jake.
"You will pay for what you did," said the Huntsman.
"Hiiyaa," screamed a voice.
Huntsboy landed just in front of Jake, glaring at the Huntsman.
"You will pay," he said. "And I'll be the one to make sure you die."
"Matt," said his father.
He turned.
"I'm not coming back," he said. "I hurt you. I feel like a traitor."
"Your not," said Jake. "You were scared and confused. You did what you had to do."
"Huntsclan attack," screamed the Huntsman.
