A/N:OK,since last chapter was extremely long.I'm going to sort of shorten this one.It's mainly what Jake felt through the whole time and what he's feeling now.Will he come to a firm realization?Read on!

Repiles:

YFWE:Well,YWFE.Hope you can fix that chair in time!lolz!

Shepyt:I'll get to it as soon as I can,it's getting pretty good.

Wow,my brain must be malfunctioning or something.I can't think of hardly one dog gone thing to say!Anywho,here's the chapter leading up to the end!Or somewhere around there...By the way,it starts out how you'd expect,but then,well,you won't know unless...unless...just read.

Continueing...

Lifting his crimson-scaled head charily off a damp concrete floor,Jake could hear some rustling about,as well as the sound of dripping at the back of the ceil he was being confined to.He tried to get up and break through the iron bars,but he just couldn't.The thought that Rose had betrayed him,still lingered perfectly in his mind.However,he did find the strength to set up just enough to be able to change back.

"Ow,"he groaned to himself miserabley,just Dragon Morphing seemed to hurt him physically,while something else still hurt him emotionally.

Why did I ever trust her?Jake inquired himself in thought,laying his aching back againist the far side of the wall in the dimly-lit ceil,One side of her family is in the Huntsclan.So of course,she is too.I must be wack to have ever thought she could ever change,he continued to think stubbornly,clenching his fist,But still...I wish it could have been...been...

Jake,who indeed felt tired and embittered at the moment with sadness of deep deception by someone he had acutally been a fool enough to trust,started to close his eyes for a moment.And drift into a steady sleep.

His dreams tookhim back to all the good times he had had with Rose and all the bad.And then recently,when she had very nervously stumbled into his presence and somewhat willingly come out of hidding,then how she had talked about how she wanted to try to see what life was like for Jake/his POV on life and how she had seemed to sincerely get concerned over the Phoenix.But,then all the times they had fought like enemies.

The next scene in Jake's mind was the first time he had seen Huntsgirl nine months eariler,he had always sort of flirt fighted with her he thought.But the way they had fought,it seemed to him that one time or another...she had heistated,but she still could get fierce with her attacks.It seemed to Jake now,that maybe she had had two sides.And still did.

But,Jake open his eyes and aburptly got to his feet.What if Rose was being made to fight whether she liked to or not?Jake sat back down on the ground with puzzlement still building up,then why hadn't she told him if that was the case?But,Jake shook his head,that was ridiculous.

However though,he did come to the conclusion that if Rose had truely rebellied againist the Huntsclan and defyed her loyality to them.They could have beaten them in thier own sneak tactic when Jake and Rose had arrived.As much as Jake still felt that the possiblitey that she had indeed used him still hung in the air,the fact that maybe she couldn't just walk away from her past and try to start life over again began to sink in.

Jake couldn't help then to think back to what he had felt since she had come back,even though he was wary and only slightly willing in the beginning,the more time they had spent together.The more it seemed like old times,before they knew each other's true identitys.But something was still barricading them,something that Jake couldn't figure out just yet.

"It wasn't just her looks and popularity that won me over,"Jake paused to re-state that to himself,"Well,partly,"he grinned then went on,"But something else about her stood out from everyone else,something really amazing and speical that I could never say out loud.That's what I loved-"

Trailing off,Jake carefully got to his feet and made his way slowly over to the light bulb barely alit and the hard iron bars seperating him from freedom.What am I doing!Jake began to recover from his previous thoughts and feelings of what he had 'thought' Rose had done,There's just to many points towards her and besides,if I remember right,she didn't laugh or anything when I got caught,guilt then struck him heavily,she was just trying to tell me she wasn't part of this plan...

"I made her a promise,even if I still have some doubt."Jake whispered under his breath resolutely,his eyes darting towards the sound of someone jiggling a door knob next to his ceil,as he gripped the bars with new found strength blazing in himself and in his powers,"And that's a promise I'm going to keep,whether or not she wants me to or not."

But then his mind rotated to the Phoenix,he knew he only had about an hour before the eggs would perish without thier Mother and Jake also owed it to them and himself to do what was needed to be done.And as for Huntsmaster,Jake grinned wickedly,he had a few things he'd like to settle with that guy once and for all.And nothing or nobody would stop him,from fufilling his destiny as the American Dragon.

Well,anything could happen at this point.Let's just hope that Jake's new determination to still help Rose out,save the Phoneix and beat the Huntsmaster at his own game all come to pass.Until then,c yaz later!
