Chapter 4: The Decision
After intruding on the Huntsmaster's meeting, Rose wandered up the stairs to her bedroom. She was in a daze. Jake was the American Dragon. Jake's father was a Huntsmen. Jake's father was after the American Dragon. Jake's father was after Jake.
It was obvious that neither father nor son knew the latter's true identity. If Jake wasn't careful, he would be killed by his own dad. That couldn't happen. Rose wouldn't let that happen. Though she hated to admit it, Rose had fallen in love with Jake. She had fallen in love with the American Dragon, and that is why she had transferred. She knew what would happen to her and Jake if the Huntsmaster found out. Now she would have to do something that would change everything. Rose would return to Morris Fillmore Middle School. She would have to talk to Jake again; she would have to warn him of his father's true identity.
Rose bit her lip and turned off her bedroom light. Lying down on her bed, she thought of how Jake might react to her return. Would he be happy? Would he be angry? No, she thought, Jake will be happy. I just hope I won't be endangering him. Oh, well, I've made my decision.
