Sorry about not writing for a while. A lot of stuff came up and I was helpless. Anyway I love all the reviews you've all given me. All good comments too. You all are so nice to me. And thank you to all who just read my story. Well here's more of Going too Far. Oh and before I forget I do not own American Dragon Jake Long. If I did my Love Hurts story would have already have been made into episodes. By the way, Eve will not be returning in this story but will be back in the third story coming soon after this one.
Chapter Eleven
The Seconds Dream and the Third Orb.
It was midnight and all was quite in Jake's house. Well everything except for Jake's moans and his constant tossing and turning. Swear dripped down his brow and his skin looked pale in the moon light.
"No…Don't…I…I love her. LEAVE HER ALONE!" he cried in his sleep.
Within Jake's Dream
Jake stood on top of the Island of Draco. (Is that the name of the island?) He could only stand and watch as his big evil looking self held the woman Jake loved by the throat.
"What's wrong?" asked his evil self to the woman.
"Jake please don't do this. This isn't you. You're not evil. He's tricked you, don't you see?" she pleaded but it seemed to have no effect on him.
"No that's where you're wrong, Eve, I chose this path. It was my decision alone. Now, what to do with you?" Big bad Jake took Eve over to the edge of the mountain and held her over the edge.
"Jake please! This isn't like you! Why are you doing this?" Tears could be seen rolling down Eve's cheek as she stared into the eyes of the dragon she loved. The dragon that betrayed her.
"Because it is my destiny," with that he let go and Eve fell. Jake rushed over to see if she was okay but his evil self got to him first.
"Do you like the future that awaits you?."
Back to reality
Jake sat up in his bed and yelled,
"Noooooooo!" Jake looked around and saw he was alone in his bed, safe. He continued sitting up for a few minutes and then fell back onto his bed.
"Am I doing the right thing?" Jake asked himself. Deep down he believed this was the only way to find out what the Huntsclan was planning. The dream seemed so real though. But he decided it was still just a nightmare. That was all. He just had to stop eating cold pizza before bed time. He lay back down and drifted off into a restless sleep.
Later that Day
Jake walked down the hall to his math class. He looked very tired and was quite grumpy. So far the day had dragged on and he just wanted it to end. He was about to open the door to his math class when someone called his name.
"Jake! Wait I need to talk to you." Jake turned to see Rose running at him. Jake suddenly perked up a bit.
"Hey Rose! So what's up?" he asked.
"Well its about our club," she said.
"Oh our club, so what's going down?"
"Well a field trip to visit the Wizard of Wall Street." Rose replied.
"Sure what times the field trip?" he asked.
"Oh around 10:30 tonight,"
"I'll be there. See ya!" Jake walked into his class with a newly refreshed attitude. The class went by pretty fast and soon the final bell rang and school was out. Jake walked to his Grandpa's shop since today he had to wash Fu's laundry.
Jake did not have a fun time doing his chores and training. It was all boring stuff about responsibility and that junk. Jake just wanted to go home. Apparently Gramps could feel Jake's boredom so he let him go early.
"You may go home young one," said Gramps as he turned to go into the back of the shop.
"Really! Thanks Grandpa!" Jake ran out of the shop at top speed and headed for home.
Jake was about half way home when he noticed he didn't have his back pack. Jake rushed back to the store and quietly snuck in to retrieve it.
"What's up old timer. I haven't seen you this down since the Europeans invaded China," said Fu his voice coming from the back of the shop.
"Jake is worrying be. He seems so distant lately. Maybe I am not a fitting dragon master." Gramps replied sounding really sad.
"Yo Gramps don't feel down. Jakes a teen and teen need space. It's probably hormones or something. Just relax Jake will be back to his cocky old self soon. Plus come on you're the best dragon master any kid could have. So quit sulking," Jake felt kind of bad for making Gramps feel that way. He never meant to give off that impression. Jake decided to make it up to him after the whole orb business was over.
Jake rushed home and got everything ready for tonight. He had his Huntsclan Uniform on under his clothes so he could quickly change once everyone was asleep. He had a tape recorded in his room to play so it sounded like he was snoring softly. Everything was set. He just needed to sneak out without being caught and sneak back in. He could do it. He knew he could.
Time went by and Jake's mom had a lot of chores for him to do. Jake was getting really sick of chores, training, and sick for being grounded. The anger came back and Jake was showing it. He didn't notice but his mom and Hailey did. He was slamming things shut; stomping from chore to chore and his voice had acid in it every time he spoke. Jake was so angry he refused to eat dinner. He stormed up stairs after the chores were done. He paced in his room thinking of a way to release his anger. The only thing he could think of you'd be to unleash it on his Hunts mission tonight.
To pass the time Jake played heavy metal music with the volume all the way up, he punched a few holes in his wall and he even plotted some pranks to pull on the moron Rotwood. Finally he heard the rest of his family go to bed. He waited for about an hour before taking off his cloths and putting on his Huntsmask. Once his uniform was on and feeling comfortable Jake turned on the recording and snuck out.
It took Jake a while but he eventually got to the Huntslair. He had to stick to the shadows so no one would see him in his uniform. He walked in through the secret passage the Huntsman had shown him. Jake walked down the long passage with an eager grin hidden by his cloth mask. Jake came to the large weapon room, where The Huntsman and Huntsgirl were waiting.
"10:15 you're on time again. I do believe you truly deserve the title Apprentice," said the Huntsman as he gave Jake his weapon.
"Now it is only the three of us tonight. The security around the third orb is very high so we must be careful. Our plan is to go through the sewers and under Pandaris tower. From there we will make our way up to the heart of the building where he keeps the orb. We escape through a window and disappear into the sewers. Let us hope we don't get caught and the mission goes smoothly." The Huntsman displayed the plan on a hologram that was emitted from his staff. Jake and Rose nodded verifying they knew the plan.
The journey through the sewers was a gross one. It was silent most of the journey until Jake asked Rose a question.
"So if I'm the apprentice what does that make you?"
"I'm his successor." Rose answered.
"Doesn't that mean you take over when he quits?"
"Yes."
"But doesn't the apprentice take over too."
"Yes," Rose responded.
"So we both get to run the Huntsclan."
"The only way two people can rule over the Huntsclan at once is if they're married."
"So that means…" Jake stopped talking as he noticed what was going on. Rose looked at him and winked seeing the shock in his eyes. Unknowingly to him the Huntsman had made Jake and Rose fiancés. "Wow" Jake thought.
Suddenly the Huntsman stopped and pointed up. There was a spot of the concrete where it seemed different from its surroundings. It had a lighter color and seemed to be made out of a different substance. The Huntsman poked it with his Hunts staff and it opened to reveal darkness. The Huntsman climbed up and reached his hand down and pulled up Rose. Then they both reached down and pulled up Jake.
Jake looked around as the Huntsman closed the hidden door they just came through. They were in a fancy hallway of what looked like a Hotel. Jake was caught up in the fixtures and gold platted doors that he didn't notice that Rose and the Huntsman were leaving him behind. Jake turned to say something and noticed they were down the hall and turning a corner.
Jake ran after them and caught up when they were at the stairwell. They climbed up about seventy flights of stairs before exiting through a door and into a dimly lighted hallway. Jake's breathing was heavy and he had a stitch in his side. He walked next to Rose the rest of the way so he wouldn't get lost.
After many turns, going up and down flights of stairs, and into many rooms they stopped in front of the Vincent Van Go painting "Starry Night."
"This is it. The orb is behind this painting," whispered the Huntsman. He took the painting off the wall and set it down. The orb was sitting their on a golden Gryphon claw pedestal. The Huntsman reached for the orb and quickly plucked it off the pedestal. Everything remained quiet for several minutes. No one dared to breathe. After a while they replaced the painting and turned to leave when red lights started to flash and a loud siren started to blaze with an ear splitting screech.
"Run!" commanded the Huntsmaster. Jake and Rose booked it down the hall after the Huntsmaster. Several orcs were on their trail in minutes. Jake ran as fast as his feet could carry him. Luckily orcs were slow and getting away was easy. Jake and the others rounded the corned to where they had gotten in and there was Pandaris.
"Well well well think you could steal from me did you," Pandaris raised his hand and a massive fireball came careening towards them. All three Huntsclan members turned and ran like the wind. They just made it around the corned when the fireball hit the wall and blew a huge hole in it.
They could hear Pandaris' footsteps coming toward them. They ran down the hall trying to find a way out when orcs came around a corner towards them. They turned to go the other way but Pandaris was already there.
"No where to run," said Pandaris.
"Who needs to run when you can fly!" Jake yelled as he turned his weapon on one of the windows and blasted it into pieces. Jake, Rose, and the Huntsmaster jumped out of the window and began to fall towards the ground. The Huntsman pressed a button on his staff and the flying hover board came from nowhere and caught them. Pandaris tried to shoot them out of the sky but they were too far away.
"Well done my Apprentice," said the Huntsmaster.
"Yeah that was quick thinking!" said Rose.
"What can I saw I just got it like that," said Jake.
"Well now we have the third orb soon we will have all four and all mystical creatures will be destroyed," said the Huntsman.
"So what happens when you have all four orbs?" asked Jake.
"They open a portal to the Void. A dark dimension, where the most evil of monsters dwell." Jake was about to ask something else when they hover board was hit by something and started to take a nose dive.
"We're going down!" the Huntsman yelled as the board dived toward central park.
A/N; Well that's it. Cliffie huh. Well keep reading. By the way Jake's little secret may be exposed soon. Next chapter; Hailey's Discovery.
