Chapter Nine

Busted

Jake rolled around in his sleep. Even though it was 9:30 in the morning he was still fast asleep. Sweat dripped down his forehead and his muscles tightened.

Jake's Dream

Jake was standing in a dark room all alone. He tried to walk around but he couldn't seem to move.

Suddenly he was surrounded by his friends, family, and the Huntsclan. They all looked at him with sever anger in their eyes.

"You lied to us!" they all yelled at the same time.

"You tricked all of us!"

"You care nothing for any of us!"

"You only care for you own Power!"

"You the most selfish person on the planet!" they all kept yelling at him. He didn't understand why.

"What are you talking about!" he yelled at them.

"You'll see," they all said. Now however all of their voices sounded like the dark dragons. Suddenly all the scenery melted away and Jake was falling. He fell and fell until he landed in the streets of Manhattan.

The entire city was destroyed. No one was around. All was quiet. Then he heard a growl from behind him. He turned to face himself. He looked different but Jake knew it was himself. Now he was a bigger dragon. His scaled were now pure black; his claws were stained with blood. His hair now had a red outline and the spikes on his back ere red. He looked 100 evil. He looked down at Jake and chuckled.

"So how dose it feel to look into your future, boy," the evil dragon said to Jake. Jake just stared at the dragon petrified with fear.

"How does it feel knowing you will be the death to all you love and hold dear?"

"No I won't! I won't!" Jake kept yelling over and over again as the dragon's evil laugh echoed in his ears.

Back to reality

"Wake up Jake! Wake up!" Hailey's voice filled Jake's sleeping ears. Jake's eyes snapped open and he shot up straight. Hailey fell of the bed and landed with a thud.

"Are you Okay?" Hailey asked. Jake looked around the room for a minute before his eyes fell on Hailey.

"Bad dream,' he groaned.

"What about?" asked Hailey.

"I…don't remember." Jake held his hand to his forehead. He tried to recall what the dream was about but none of it would come back to him. All he knew was it was a really bad dream.

"Mom told me to wake you. Trixie and Spud are down stairs waiting for you," said Hailey as she frolicked away. Jake got out of bed and slowly dressed.

Jake, Trixie, and Spud all went down to the skate park and tore it up. At first Jake wasn't interested. His dream was what occupied his mind. Until he figured worrying about it was a waste of time. So he decided to have fun. They skated and hung out until about 5:00. Jake went home and dinner was ready. His Mom, sister and him sat down and ate. After that they all watched T.V. until Hailey's bed time which was 8:30. Jake stayed up until 10:30 before going up to his room. The quickly climbed out his window and rushed to the park.

The park seemed empty and dark. He went to where the Huntsman told him to meet them but he wasn't there. Jake waited and waited. Jake was about to leave when he heard Rose's voice.

"Psst… Jake over here," said the voice from behind a bush. Jake walked over to the bush and was pulled in. Jake had been expecting the entire Huntsclan but all that was there were the Huntsman and Huntsgirl.

"You made it good," said the Huntsman. Jake remained silent.

"Here put this on," said Rose. She handed him a bundle of cloths. Jake shrugged and went behind a tree. It didn't take him long o figure out it was his Huntsclan uniform. Jake finished dressing and stepped out from behind the tree.

The uniform was like the Huntsman's. They had almost identical shirts and pants. They had the same looking sash over their chests. Jake's boots were a little plain looking but his mask was different. Jake's mask was built into his shirt. He raised the mask over his face and found it only covered up to his nose. He also didn't have the fur cape the Huntsman did. In fact he didn't have one at all.

"So how do I look?' ha asked. The two turned around and stared at him for a long minute.

"It suits you," said Rose.

"I really dose." said the Huntsman. Jake went to Rose's side and crouched behind the bush with them.

"Now your final test. Tonight you will hunt a goblin that should be passing through the park tonight. We set up a roes to get him here tonight." The Huntsman said no more. He did hand Jake a hunts staff. Jake got ready to leap from the bush when the goblin got here. He planned only to stun the goblin. Killing it was too much for Jake. Even thinking about it made him feel sick.

It was about a half an hour of waiting until Jake saw the goblin. It was Herbert. Herbert was walking alone in the park looking around for something. This was Jake's chance to get him back for kidnapping the oracle twins. Jake waited until Herbert was only five feet from the bush and sprang out. Herbert was caught unaware and didn't move. Jake took aim and fired a stun shot. It hit Herbert in the chest and sent him flying back a few feet. Jake leapt out of the bushes and walked over to the fallen goblin. Herbert looked up at Jake with wide fearful eyes, Jake loved it.

"But-you're-the…" before Herbert could finish Jake fired seven more stun shots into the goblins chest. Herbert lost consciousness. The only sign he was alive was his chest raising and falling with his shallow breathing. The Huntsman and Huntsgirl went to his side and examined the goblin.

"Still alive. You pass. You stunned him and kept him alive. Well you are now a true member of the Huntsclan and my apprentice." The Huntsman but his hand on Jake's shoulder in congrats. The Huntsman and Rose scooped up the goblin and carried him off.

"The Huntsgirl will contact you when you are needed of a meeting. Go home and rest apprentice." The Huntsman said as him and Rose disappeared into the night. Jake leapt for joy. He was in! He was in! Jake quickly took of him uniform, and rushed home.

Jake put the uniform down outside his window as he crawled in. He was about to reach of it when his bedroom light turned on. Jake spun around on his heels to face; Fu Dog, Gramps, and him Mom.

"Jacob Luke Long you have a lot of explaining to do!" yelled his Mom. Jake knew at that moment he was busted.
