Continueing...
"Say WHA?"Jake gasped with shock arousing in the young teens wide eyes,as his face took on a blanched expression.
"According to what we've obseved and heard;some credit going to Lahoshi.You have illegally tooken part in a Huntsmember's activity,put the last remaining species of the Phoenix in danger,abadoned you're duties and also left the eggs vurenable as well..Not to mention bringing a human into a Magical city and not just any person.A Huntsclan member!Need I say more?"One of the other Council Member's ran down the row again for Jake,but before he could start on mirandas,Jake interjected as expected,
"Look,I accept the fact that I did all that,"he said sharply but lightened up a bit by saying,"But the only reason I befriended Rose was to help her and in returned...she helped me.I'm sorry about the Phoenix,but we saved her and stopped Huntsmaster."
"There is no excuse for that,"The Member retorted furiously,temper soaring,"You did what you did and you must accept the consequences,Dragon."he shook his head deplorabley,"Alright,you may apprehend him while telling him his rights."
"No,"Jake took a few very skittish steps backwards and stared at his Grandfather pleadingly,"You can't really let them do this Grandpa!"
"I'm sorry Jake,"his Grandfather looked at him with extremely pained eyes,before saying gloomily,"There is,nothing I can do for you."
Rose watched with a strickened look,as her and Jake were being taken by the arms and had thier hands both bound to what appeared to be magical cuff links.She quietly observed him,as he miserably let them take them both back be tooken into a portal that was opened and what surprised her was he didn't struggle.So,with a heavy heart,she resisted the urge to break free also.
Later that night...
"Jake,"Rose whispered softly to him as they sat with thier back's pressed againist the ceil wall and until then,silently.
But Jake didn't awnser her,his mind was busy swimming with thoughts.Thoughts like escaping,trying to plead with them again,should he have ever gone through with all of this in the first place.Things that only made his head throb atrociously and his heart feel like it was ready to pound out of his chest,as he awaited a verdict for all the charges brought againist.So much so,that he couldn't think of anything else.Still,Rose didn't let his lack of response or emotionless slump stop her from continueing on,
"I know what you did was risky,"She went on impartly,sighing as she struggled to say the next thing on her mind,"What I did was risky too.But you,you put you're whole rip on the line for me.And me.I was the one who thought I had a lot to lose.But,"suddenly tears of all she felt began to spill down her cheeks,as she continued to shout fluminatingly,"It was all my fault!I should have never put you in this positon Jake,I should have just never dragged you into this!You've given me so much.Sure,you were reluctant at first,but I was too."she sniffled slightly and without thinking,took Jake's and had smiled through her watery eyes,"You never gave up on me Jake.Not once,you kept you're promise.You're not only an awesome friend,one of the coolest boys I've ever met and the American Dragon...you're my only best friend.You've always been there for me when on one else has and you care so much,and for that Jake,I love you."
"I love you too,"Jake repeated automatically,as he turned to Rose with a beaming sensation,her words had lit a place within him and had almost made him forget about his future,"But I don't want to leave my other friends,"he admitted meekly,"Or my family,I love them too."
Rose thought about that for a moment and then said,"Why don't you just give up being the American Dragon?"
Jake mock-grinned to that and said airily,"You may have gotten some of down,baby.But not all of it,that's for sure."
They paused from speaking to each other for a while and putting thier backs to one another,settled into a surprisingly relaxed and thoughtful sleep.Although Jake was a little restless occasionally,he somehow eased back into the realm of sleep,as soon as he sensed Rose was near.Because tommorow would change everything and tommorow would forever decide the young Dragon's destiney.
Judgement day...
Jake awoke the next morning,only to gap in distress at the sight of him and him alone being contained in the long rows of ceils.He was about to morph into his Dragon form and bust out to find her whether they wanted him to or not,when he heard the familiar voice of his Mother and Sister.Normally,he wasn't always that excited to see them.However,this time around,he seemed almost elated they were there,
"Mom,Hailey,"he ran over to the bars and instictively threw his arms around his Mother's waist outside the bars,"You're here!"
"Oh sweetheart,"His Mother reached in too and gave him a quick squeeze,"We were so worried about you last night,"she pulled away then and looked into her son's eyes seriously,"You've been charged with a lot of things,Jake.This is very important to get settled."
"I know Mom,"Jake started to tell her quickly,standing up straight,"But no one's listening to me,"he glanced down at the stoned floor and muttered the next words grimly,"Not even Gramps would side with me.He's the one who told them where I was!"
"Jake,he cares about you."She argued with him defensively and then sighed reasonabley,"I'm sure he didn't intentionally give them all they know now,"but she went back to being more informative,"If it wasn't for that little Huntsgirl,maybe all this wouldn't have happened."
"Rose is a good person Mom!"Jake shot out at her angrily,his face glowering and eyes blazing,but he soon saw his Mother's petrified look and Jake could only sigh resentfully,"I'm sorry,"he whispered demurely,"I just can't believe all this is happening at once."
"Jake,"She placed a hand on his shoulder and used her other to raise his chin up slowly,"If she's really who you claim she is,prove it."
A Dragon Guard came to Jake's ceil at that moment and unlocking the door,led him into what appeared to be a courtroom filled to the max with Magical Creatures of all sorts.Some,Jake recognized.Like Leena,the oracle twins,lepercons,different sorts or sprites and pixie's,the troll and some unexpected ones like some of his past bad-encounters.With mixed feelings,Jake allowed him to take him to sit at the wooden box he supposively had to go in.From there,he saw that among the jury was his Grandfather and Fu Dog.When Lahoshi and his Grandson's eyes met,Jake only rejectedly looked away.But he looked over to see Rose just outside his stand,but she didn't smiled when he tried to smile at her,she only appeared to be mute and in deep concentration of whatever it was she was thinking.
"Order,order,"The Judge,a four-armed,human-like creature came before everyone and quieted them down upon his arrival,"You may be seated,"he turned to look regardfully at Jake,knowing from pervious rumors that he was very good at his job and that this was one of the first times people were starting to get upset over this and that,"American Dragon,you're being accused of joining up with this so-called Huntsmember,putting the last Phoenix at stake 'and' abandoning you're duties.Do you know that's rather serious son?"
"I'm not going to lie,"Jake faced the Judge with a confident air over his head but a strong understanding to his attitude,"There's no excuse for doing what I did to the Phoenix and her...unhatched kids.But I tried to fix it and I'm not trying to cover up anything.As for Rose,"he looked down at her with overwhelmed eyes,as she looked up and into his,turning back to the Judge,Jake went on fully earnestly,"When I first met Rose,I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.Gorgeous,a wonderful personality,popularity,everything.But her shadowy secret,was entirely different.I fought her as Huntsgirl,but knew her as Rose.But she was suspcious about a lot of things,anyways,the day I found out the truth.It turned my whole world upside down.I literally didn't know what to think anymore.But one way or another,she came back.She came back and told me she wanted to change,"he grinned in spite of himself,"And she has."
Ending result...
Jake and Rose had fought with all they had and so did all the ones who cared about Jake,as well as believed Rose.But in the end,the Dragon Council had won.All these things went through his mind,as he was being charged with all these things and was now being led to the ceil he would be spending the next 7 years.He had forgiven his Grandfather,said good-bye to his Mom and Hailey,phoned his friends and was now one his way to where he'd be living.However,he did feel truely guilty and would do some things over if he had a choice.But he didn't even say good-bye to Rose,which made him feel even worse inside.But although yearning to,he didn't resist them in the least bit.Only as he was being pushed into and locked up,didn't he noticed Rose in the window.
"Rose,"he sprinted over to it and slapped a hand over his face increduously,"What are you doing here!You want to get caught?"
"I'm not about to leave you like this,"Rose told him shortly,as she hastily started to kick off the bars that were easy to break off on the outside,"That's why,"she grabbed his shirt and yanked him out of the window,"I think we should go into hiding,not forever though."
Thinking about this,Jake pryed her hands off of him as he tried to think hard and fast.But then he realized,that although almost all Magical creatures had voted him not guilty,including Grandpa and Fu.That the Dragon Council would always have it out for him and he really wasn't running away.Just getting out of a bad situtation for awhile,just to maintain what he had going for him or not.He'd miss Trixie and Spud greatly and all the ones he really cared about also,but he knew it was the only way.So,without another second's thought,he took Rose's hand and they walked hand-in-hand up into the Mountains outside the Prison.
Up on a ledge,where both of them could see the sun start to set over a long time of debating and arguing,over all thier adventures and games together,over thier past and thier present and mostly,over the misplaced feeling of ever-exisiting destiney,something new emerged.Something wonderful inside both of them.They'd always miss thier past and would almost miss the ones they temporarily or more left behind.But as the orb of a pale red and yellow sun,sank lower into the splash of pink and violet that painted the south sky,they could just see a wonderous-looking firey figure with wings,gliding smoothly over the horizon with three smaller versions of itself following it.And as the sun dipped completely out of view,both tenderly kissed one time.
The end.
Thus,completes the first of hopefully a now-planned sequeal to come in,well,months to come I'm afaird.As I will be starting a new story soon and everything else happening all at once it seems,I won't have much time to plan for quite a while.But I hope you enjoyed my story and I hope to write again here.Well,if that's all there is left to it,then,adios muy amigos!
