Chapter Five
The Second Orb
Jake stood in front of a jewelry store in a black overcoat and hat. His face was hidden so no one could see his eyes looking everywhere. Gramps figured out the next orb in the collection was here. It was a cool night. "It's Thursday. By Saturday I should know what the Huntsclan is up to." he thought.
Two dark figures jumped onto the roof of the store.
"Gramps they're on the roof. I'm going in," Jake said into the microphone in his sleeve. He looked both ways before heading down the alley next to the store. He climbed in through the window Gramps had unlocked from the inside. Jake looked around and saw the Huntsclan hadn't gotten in yet. Jake went dragon and hid in the shadows just as he and Gramps planned(well as Gramps planned anyway). A small light seemed to appear on the ceiling and start to move in a circle. Once it was done a circle section of the roof fell onto the floor. The Huntsman and Huntsgirl jumped through it and landed silently.
'Now Huntsgirl find it quick so we can leave." ordered the Huntsmaster.
"Yes Huntsmaster," said Rose. So the two began to search. Their only source of light came from there Hunts staffs. Rose was inching closer to Jake as she looked through the cases. She was only a foot away now. If she were to move closer and look up she would see him. She was in front of him now. Sweat rolled down Jake's forehead.
"Huntsgirl I found it!" exclaimed the Huntsman. Rose turned on her heels and raced to the Huntsman. The Huntsman was holding up a smoky white orb.
"Now!" yelled Gramps from behind a counter. Jake and Gramps leapt out of the darkness and attacked the Huntsgirl and Huntsman.
"I'll take that!" Jake said as he snatched the orb.
"No you don't!" yelled the Huntsgirl. She jumped on Jake and they started to wrestle over the orb. Gramps and the Huntsman were fighting over the direction of the Hunts staff.
After about two minutes rose and Jake stopped. Rose was lying on Jake and Jake had one arm around her. He other had the orb above his head were she couldn't reach it.
"Well you do like me huh?" said Jake.
"I'd like you even more as a pair of boots!" Rose yelled as once again she hit Jake in the groin. This time with her knee. Jake dropped the orb and it rolled across the floor.
"You got to stop doing that girl!" Jake said holding himself. Rose said nothing and ran to the orb. She picked it up with one hand and the other used her Hunts staff to zap Gramps.
"Until next time Dragons!" Rose called as she and the Huntsman got away.
"Ah Man!' was all Jake could say at the moment. They lose the second orb. "Well at leased we have the last one and I'll be one of the Huntsclan tomorrow." That thought consoled him as he spent the rest of the night sitting with a pack of ice between his legs.
