Chapter 7: The Reason
"How do you know all about this?" Jake's dad muttered distractedly, barely noticing the anger in Jake's voice.
Jake suddenly realized what he had just done. Though he wanted to, he knew he couldn't tell his father he was the American Dragon. Not only would he be endangering himself, but the whole magical community, his whole family, and he couldn't do that.
"I pay attention in Rotwood's class?" Jake replied nervously. His father raised an eyebrow, and asked:
"Then, how do you know about the American Dragon?"
"Rotwood talks about him." Jake said. His father's expression changed from shocked to 'oh'. Since he had his dad fooled, Jake decided to go out on a limb.
"Why do you hate dragons?" Jake asked quietly. His father looked a little surprised at the question, but answered it anyways.
"I have no idea why you're so interested, but I'll tell you. The Huntsclan has been in my family for centuries. When I was twelve, I decided I didn't want to hunt dragons, so the torch was passed to my ten year old sister. By the time she was fifteen, she was an excellent Huntsgirl. One time, she went to fight a dragon that had been recently causing trouble in America. I remember that dragon well. It was a blue serpent dragon, with a tan underbelly, and crazy green eyes. He killed my sister. After that, I just stepped into her role. I retired though, fifteen years ago."
"Scott! Jake! Supper's ready!" Mei called from the kitchen.
"Come on, that is enough sad talk. Let's go eat." Scott said, getting up and stretching. "Are you coming?"
"Yeah, dad. I'll be there in a few minutes." Jake said a bit numbly. During his father's story, Jake had been deeply disturbed. A blue serpent dragon…tan underbelly…green eyes…he realized with great unease that his grandfather had killed his dad's sister. His grandpa had killed his aunt.
Man, I am horrible to poor Jake! I am making one twisted family. But there are still a few more twists…don't worry Jake's dad WILL find out about Jake being a dragon, and Lao Shi killing his sister. Hehehe…don't you just hate me? Please! REVIEEW! I want ya'll's opinions!
