Chapter 16: Tick, Tick, BOOM!

"Oh, no! What do we do?" Cried Cat frantically.

The Huntsman got off the roof. Just as he was about to reach for the door, Rose slammed the door open and knocked the Huntsman over the roof of another car.

"Whoo!" Leah cheered. "You go, girl!"

Rose didn't respond. Instead, she unbuckled her seatbelt, jumped out of the cab, and sprinted down the street.

"Rose!" Jake jumped out and ran after Rose.

Kel was starting to sweat. "Uh, Cat, I'd better go too." He said as he unbuckled his seatbelt.

"Oh! Right!" Cat jumped out of the cab. Kel followed.

"…That was interesting." Spud commented after a few moments of silence.

--------------------

"Rose, wait yup!"

Jake and Rose ran into an alley.

"I knew u\it!" Rose blurted. "I knew the Huntsman would catch me!"

"Rose, chill!" Jake said as he dragoned up. "Look, I'll fly you back home. You can deny everything you did."

"You make everything seem so easy." Rose said smiling a little. She shrugged, and got on Jake's back.

--------------------

Cat and el landed on the roof of the Penthouse. Kel sighed.

"Cat, I'm sorry." Kel said. "Tonight was totally ruined."

Cat put her arms around Kel's waist. "Hey, it's okay. We had fun! Tonight just ended badly."

"You're right." Kel smiled and gave Cat a kiss. "Well, see you tomorrow. That is, if I'm not dead."

"See you."

Cat flew off and Kel controlled himself down to the front steps. He quickly opened the mailbox and took out the fairy in the jar.

-----------------------

Rose quietly climbed through her window.

"Thanks, Jake." She said. "Despite the Huntsman catching me, I've had the most wonderful-"

"HUNTSGIRL!"

Rose gasped and glanced at the door. Footsteps were approaching.

"Go, go!" Rose told Jake urgently.

Jake flew off as the Huntsman burst into the room.

"Master, I can explain!"

"Explain nothing!" The Huntsman bellowed. "You skipped Huntsclan duties for a silly concert! You and Iron will both be punished."

Rose gulped. "Yes, master."

"We will disscuss your punishment tomorrow."

The Huntsman left the room. He slammed the door so hard, the wall around the door cracked a little. Rose groaned and flopped on the bed.

Whatever the punishment is, She thought. It can't be worse than a Crakken. Can it?
