Chapter Twelve
Hailey's Discovery
Jake closed his eyes as the air rushed passed his ears. The board was falling at an alarming rate. Jake held on to the board for dear life. The board began to sway left and right. The Huntsman yelled something but the ringing in Jake's ears was too loud for Jake to hear.
Jake opened his eyes and saw Rose and the Huntsman were gone. He was the last person on the board as it headed for the trees. Jake tried to will himself to let go but his arms wouldn't respond. Jake could see the crash that was about to befall him. He couldn't survive if he didn't do something. He knew he couldn't get off the board, so he needed a new plan.
Suddenly the board started to spin around as it cork screwed its way down toward the hard earth. Jake again closed his eyes but this time in fear of throwing up. He was doomed. He wasn't going to survive! No human could. That was it! No human could survive but a dragon might. It was risky but he just might be able to pull it off. So Jake closed his eyes and said,
"Dragon Up!" The familiar sensation of the flames covering his body and transforming him into a dragon swept over him like a wave.
He could feel his body changing. He opened his eyes and he was a dragon. Jake waited until the last minute before letting go of the board and flew to the ground safely. Jake looked left and right before reverting to human form. He watched as the board crashed into a tree and smash to pieces. Jake walked around looking for the Huntsclan and hopping to avoid the thing that shot them down. Jake wondered if it was Pandaris but he couldn't shoot that far, could he?
Jake continued to wander until he heard someone calling out.
"Apprentice! Apprentice, where are you!" Jake rushed toward the voice and found the Huntsman and Rose. Unfortunatly they weren't in the best company. They had their staffs up and were fighting Gramps. Jake couldn't move. It was this very thing that he had feared most. He had to fight with Gramps, and be kicked out of the Huntsclan. What was worse was they would know his secret identity. He could fight with the Huntsclan but he might hurt Gramps. Jake had to make a choice.
"Apprentice assistance now!" commanded the Huntsman. Part of Jake wanted to obey and attack while another little part wanted to defend Gramps. Then a crazy idea came to mind. If it worked this problem was over. If it didn't both of his secrets were out in the open.
Jake stepped forward and secretly made his tail appear. To everyone else suddenly his tail came out of the bush behind him and dragged him in. Jake wrestled with himself for about a minute before coming out of the bush in dragon form.
"Yo hot stuff miss me," Jake dove at the Huntsgirl and tackled her.
"What did you do to my friend!" Rose exclaimed as they wrestled around in the dirt.
"Just put him down for a little nap. You didn't go get a boyfriend now did you?" Jake asked in his cocky voice as he forced her to the ground.
"What if I did dragon its no business of yours." Rose kicked Jake off of her and ran for the bush. Jake quickly wrapped his tail around her ankle and threw her at the Huntsman. Rose knocked the Huntsman down but he recovered in an instant.
"Until we meet again, dragons!" The Huntsman raised his staff in the air and the two of them vanished in a dome of green light.
"Young one did your mother tell you I was looking for you?" asked Gramps as he turned back to normal.
"Yeah umm… she did. So I flew around and saw the fight. I saw that other Huntsclan member and ambushed him," Jake said rather quickly staying in dragon mode.
"Yes I saw you, brilliant move young dragon. Now let us take you home it is late."
"Good idea."
"I thought you were spending the night at Spud's house?" asked Gramps.
"Yeah umm I got home sick." Jake said weakly. Gramps seemed to buy it. Gramps turned back into a dragon and they both flew to Jake's house. Jake rushed inside and went up stairs. He opened his door to find Hailey in his closet with something in her hands.
"Hailey get out!" Jake yelled and shoved her out the door. Jake quickly turned human, got dressed in his street cloths, and hid his uniform with the other two. TWO! Jake looked through his closet like a mad man. He had three in her when he left. Then it dawned on him. Hailey had found the other one. Why was she up it was like 11:30 at night. That didn't matter. It was a weekend after all, but right now Jake needed to get that costume from Hailey. Jake ran out of his room and was about to do down the stairs when he saw Gramps holding his Huntsclan uniform out in front of him and staring at it with wide eyes. It looked like his mom was about to faint. They looked up at Jake without saying a word. They didn't need to. Jake knew what was going through their minds. They thought of him as a traitor. His plan was down the toilet and all because of Hailey.
