Disclaimer: I do not own Jake Long, but Eve and this plot are mine. Thanks to all those who reviewed. So here's Chapter Seven.

Chapter Seven Confessions and Eavesdropping

Eve flew as fast as she could from the rooftop. The Huntsman and Huntsgirl didn't seem to be following her. She continued to fly fast until she became tired. She looked down at Jake, who was nestled in her arms. All his cloths had been reduced to ash, except for his pants. Which were now tattered shorts. His skin was burnt, but at least he wasn't smoking anymore. It took a while but eventually Eve got to Jake's house. When she landed and returned to her natural form she found Jake a little heavy. She still couldn't believe Jake was the American Dragon. And worse of all it was all her fault he had been hurt. Guilt was welling up inside of her.

Mrs. Long, Grandpa, and Fu Dog all sat at the kitchen table waiting for Jake to arrive home. They were all very worried. Then they heard a knock at the door. Mrs. Long got up and went to the door. She opened it with some caution (worried it was the Huntsclan). On the front steps was Eve. She looked awful. Her cloths were cut; she had a bad cut on her cheek, and many bruises. On her back was Jake. He was also injured and unconscious.

"Your sons a little heavy," Eve choked out. Mrs. Long quickly opened the door all the way and helped them in.

"Grandpa! Fu Dog! Get in here!" she yelled. The two ran into the living room and saw what was going on. They took Jake from Eve and took him up to his room. Mrs. Long took Eve to the kitchen and cleaned her up.

"What happened," Mrs. Long asked Eve. Eve looked up at her and took a deep breath.

"The Huntsman set a trap and Jake…" she trailed off as tears began to run down her cheeks. She felt horrible, and Mrs. Long could see it on her face.

"Its all my fault Jake got hurt," she finally said.

"No its not," Mrs. Long tried to comfort her but she began to cry.

"Yes it is! They used me as bait so Jake would come."

"He came because he's the American..." Mrs. Long tried to say but Eve cut her off.

"No they weren't targeting The American Dragon! They were targeting Jake! They know! They know he's the American Dragon!" Mrs. Long was shocked. She didn't know what to say.

"Did I hear you right young shape shifter," said Grandpa as he entered the kitchen.

"Did you tell them?" he asked.

"No," Eve said bluntly.

"Well you must have known," Fu said since he just came in.

"I just found out tonight when he turned into human form."

"Why would he do that?" Mrs. Long asked.

"Because that damn bitch Rose is the Huntsgirl and she played Jake for a sap tonight,"

Eve answered.

"Tell us what happened from the beginning," Gramps said. So Eve told them everything since she was captured to when she got to their front door.

Jake rolled over in his bed. He hurt all over. He opened his eyes and stared at the clack by his bed. It was five o'clock in the morning. He was blasted by Rose about nine o'clock. So he had been asleep for eight hours. Rose… just thinking about her made him feel sad and angry at the same time. He couldn't believe she did this to him. He rolled over so he was on his back again. I hurt less on his back since Rose blasted him in the front. Then he saw someone sitting at the foot of him bed. It hurt but he sat up to see who it was.

"Oh your awake," said the person. The voice was filled with sadness. In was Eve's voice.

"Hey," was all he could say right now.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault you're hurt," she said. It sounded like she had been crying.

"No its not your fault," he said.

"Jake I have something I have to tell you," she said her voice sounding nervous.

"What is it?" Jake asked.

"It's I… I I Lov.. I," Eve seemed to stutter as she tried to tell.

"Are you ok?" he asked.

"It's-well over the last week I've noticed that well," Eve was getting tired of trying to explain and was afraid of loosing Jake's interest. She had to tell him.

"I love you," she blurted out.

Jake was in shock, yet he was happy. She loved him. Jake began to feel the strong feeling he had been feeling towards her come to life. Everything about her was perfect. She was perfect. She turned her back to him so he would not see her tears. She was afraid he would not return her feelings. Jake got out of bed slowly (now noticing he was wearing his pajamas) and walked up behind her.

"Dragon up," he whispered and turned into a dragon. He wrapped him arms around her and pulled her into a huge. At first she was taken back but then nestled into him embrace. Jake knew how he felt about her. He felt the same way she did.

"I love you too," he whispered into her ear. She turned around to face him with a loving smile on her face and tears running down her cheeks. Their faces came closer together. They were so close they could feel each other's breath. Their lips touched in a loving kiss.

Eve couldn't believe it she was kissing a dragon. And not just any dragon she was kissing the American Dragon. Jake was amazed that a hot young fizzine girl like her could ever love him. But unknown to then someone was watching.

Hailey Long was at Jake's door watching them. She had to put her hand over her mouth just to keep from laughing. She quickly ran down stairs and into the kitchen where her mother was.

"Mommy, Mommy guess what!" she yelled.

"SSSHHH Jakes sleeping. Now what do you need to tell me," her mother responded.

"Jakes not sleeping," Hailey said.

"Oh well I better go see how he is," her mom said.

"I wouldn't," Hailey said casting out the bait.

"Why?" asked her mother who just fell for Hailey's trick hook line and sinker.

"Because Jakes kissing Eve in his bedroom right now and they both just said they love each other," Hailey said. Her mother took off for the stairs. Hailey followed. Once at Jake's door her mother looked inside and saw they were still kissing. She quietly closed the door and turned to Hailey.

"Go back to bed young lady. You know not to spy on your brother," Hailey's mom started back for the kitchen.

"My little boys growing up," she said as she went down the stairs.

"AW MAN!" Hailey said as she went back to her room.

Jake broke the kiss and looked down at Eve. She looked up at him with sparkling eyes.

"Well I better get home," Eve said.

"Stay with me," Jake said back.

"I mean they know you're safe right?" Jake asked.

"Yeah I called them…"

"So stay with me," Jake pulled Eve onto his bed and turned back into human form.

"But…"

"Please I want you by me," Jake said. They again began kissing and fell asleep in each other's arms.
