That's for the reviews and here is my second chapter.
Last time.
"Sarah where are you?" Turning to where the girl was running too she saw a person she hadn't seen in years.
"Jake"
Chapter two
He hadn't changed much, the same hair maybe a little longer and messier. He picked up Sarah who hugged him tightly round the neck; his dark eyes met hers and recognise her straight away.
"Trixie err…" But before he could say anything she had stood up flicked her hair behind her shoulder.
"You don't have to say anything Jakey, just like you didn't say anything almost six years ago." He did seem upset at her words but she too was hurt to care. He left with Rose and never spoke to her, Spud or even his family. They wanted a fresh start away from them all and she was never happy with what he decided to do.
"Trix I never meant to hurt anyone but we wanted out." He gave her his hurt eyes but she was far to upset to be affected by them.
"You just don't get it, you left and know you come back you want it to be the same it isn't." She walks away and a single tear made a trail down her face.
"It can never be the same."
Trixie made it back to her and Hailey's apartment to find her not in, most likely at her job still. The pair had three jobs between them, Trixie worked in the clothes store and in the magic market with Veronica. Hailey had a job at a café to get her some cash to spend on herself. Sitting down heavily she let the tears flow down her face of seeing her best friend after all these years. By the time the young dragon came home she saw her friend and partner in protecting sitting on the sofa with red eyes.
"Trixie what's wrong?" Hailey had rarely seen her older friend cry and it weirded her out. The black woman looked up and spoke in a soft tone.
"He's back."
"Who's back?" The new American dragon sat next to her.
"Jake, he has come back." It had taken Trixie only ten minutes to tell her tale Hailey was in shock first her brother left with out a goodbye, and then he comes back with a little girl.
"But why has he come back?" She asked in a small scared voice, it was like they had gone back in time and she was that fourteen year old girl again telling her, that her brother had left.
"I don't know but I have to go." She stands up and picks up her bag.
"Will you be ok on your own?" Seeing the girl nod Trixie hugged her then rushed out to her second job at the potion stall. Getting on the subway it was a long ride to Magus Bazaar she looked at all the people in the subway some were talking others reading. But none knew of the other world Hailey a girl younger then most here protects.
At the end of the normal line she was the only passenger and was sent up to Magus Bazaar, she got off and walked though the market place waving to people she knew and others who she had saved. Making her way to the stall where she worked for mostly potion ingredients the spider woman known as Veronica waved her over.
"Why so glum Trixie?"
"Someone who I haven't spoken to in a long time id back in town." She tells her while sorting the bat wings and newt eyes.
"But shouldn't you be happy to see him?" She seemed confused at why Trixie seemed upset.
"I know I should be but he left without a word to us and he never called us to even let us know he was ok. He now comes back with his daughter, who by the way is a cutie, and I don't know I was shocked to see him so close after all this time." She sighed and leaned against the stall. Veronica understood that she didn't want to talk about it and so she wouldn't push it. Fu dog was living in Magus Bazaar since he was too heavy to be a pet in the apartment and Jake's Grandpa moved away with his folks after Scott got a job offer in Florida, Lao Shi had moved with them distressed that his grandson didn't want anything to do with him.
The day had slowly but Trixie didn't mind since she spoke to Veronica about the effects of phoenix tear in a healing potion. When the spider woman stopped and started to stare at someone in the crowd. Turing to look at who she was staring at she saw Jake with Sarah but he was pushing a pram with a small sleeping child in it.
"Jake is that you?" Veronica walked over to him, Sarah seeing her legs looked scared but she didn't back away. When she saw Trixie she ran over to her.
"Hello Trixie daddy said we may see magic creatures here but I said he was silly. But guess what? He was telling the truth, are you magical?" She asked, Jake said his hellos to the woman who was cooing over his son.
"No Sarah she isn't she is just a friend of mine remember?" Jake told her gently, Trixie smiled thinking she may not be born with magic but she could make potions with the best of them. Sarah was now looking at the ingredients for potions that the pair sold.
"Wow these are so weird but really cool. Will you tell me what they are for?" But instead of Trixie Veronica was the one who answered, taking the girl to the side and showing her the ingredients and telling her about them.
"What are you doing here Jake? I thought you gave up on this?" She threw her arms up in the air, people looked at her and Jake who gave them a look telling them back off.
"I'm looking for Gramps, Fu and my family who have seemed to of disappeared." He told his once best friend who was in Magus Bazaar on her own looking like she worked there.
"And you look like you come here a lot, do you work here?"
"Yes Jake I work here and don't give me that look! Things change your folks and Gramps moved to Florida because your pops got a job. Fu still lives here but not with me and Hailey…"
"Wait you and Hailey live together!"
"Yes she didn't want to leave so she stays as the American dragon." Jake looks semi shocked but he need when he left that Hailey would most likely take over as the protector. Trixie sighed and looked at the baby who was still asleep.
"So who is this little guy?" She touches his face slightly and the baby stirs in his sleep.
"His name is Luka Long and he is my youngest son." Jake seemed proud but there was a sadness in his eyes.
"Where's Rose, shouldn't she be around somewhere, I know she wouldn't be that welcomed here but you never did care. So where is she?" Jake looked down then spoke in a shaky voice.
"That's why we came back, she's gone."
