Chapter 11: Stolen Rose…Kidnapped Christian.
In about an hour Jake heard the door to the roof open and close and Rose came down stairs. As she silently slipped into the shoe room Jake heard a noise out of place, it was a tiny humming sound coming from the fireplace. Jake jumped off the couch and dragoned up in an instant, not wanting to be caught of guard so he set up spells around the house, so if anyone tried to break in a strange noise only a dragon can hear. He ran up stairs and found that Hailey was already awake.
"Go to mom Hailey." Said Jake
"No you're not the boss of me. What is that noise anyway?" asked Hailey
"It's a spell to wake any dragon when some one is trying to break in. Now go and protect mom and dad." Said Jake
Hailey nodded and ran to her mom and dads room. Jake then put a spell on his parents' bedroom door so they wouldn't hear what was about to happen. He ran downstairs to see a couple of L'Épée Foncée soldiers, one of them had Rose over his shoulder. "Stay out of this dragon, it doesn't concern you."
"Oh yeah it does…TAKE THIS!" Said Jake as he threw a fire-ball at one of them.
The one who had gotten hit by Jake's fire-ball drew his sword, looked at the one that had Rose, and said, "Get her out of here…I'll deal with him."
The one carrying Rose nodded and took her outside, the next thing Jake heard was a car and three motorcycles starting up.
The soldier looked at Jake and said, "You don't need to protect her anymore dragon…we'll take good care of her, better care than her uncle or any other relative could give her."
The soldier then released a jet of flame from his blade, Jake dodged it…but the couch caught fire, Jake was eventually knocked to the ground by a shockwave, but before the soldier could deliver the killing blow another sword blade poked through his chest and he fell to the ground dead, Jake saw another L'Épée Foncée soldier in front of him, only this one's cloak was tattered and worn, gramps showed up and saw what looked like a double-cross, the soldier snapped his fingers and the flaming couch suddenly extinguished itself.
"Hey thanks." Said Jake.
"Don't thank me yet…they're heading for Tem's place, come on!" The figure told them.
When all three of them arrived at Tem's place they saw Tem and Michael finishing up some L'Épée Foncée figures. "What happened here?" Gramps asked.
"They took her…Christian, they used a turncoat spell on her…she just willingly gave herself up to them." Michael told them, then he saw the soldier they had with them, Jack came out of hiding as Michael asked, "Who is this?"
"I can't believe it…Michael…Jack, look how both of you have grown." The figure said as he removed his hood, underneath was someone who had a close resemblance to Sirius Black.
"Damien…is that really you?" Tem asked in disbelief.
"It's me." Damien answered.
Tears welled up in Jack's eyes as he ran towards the man, "DAD!" he screamed, hugging him tightly.
"I know Jack…I missed you too." Damien told Jack, he then looked at Michael who didn't seem or look to be that happy to see him. "What's wrong Michael? Too old to hug your old man?"
"Hello…dad!" Michael said sternly before storming out of the room.
"Michael wait!" Tem shouted, but by then it was too late. He turned back to Damien and said, "I'm sorry Damien."
"Don't be…I'll talk to him, I'm still his father, maybe he'll listen."
"Then he'll be up on the roof, if you wish to find him." Tem told him.
Damien went onto the roof, there he could here Michael quietly singing, "Well L.A is getting kinda crazy…"
"And New york is getting kinda cold…" Damien sang, joining in.
"I keep my head from getting lazy…"
"I just can't wait to get back home…"
Finally they started to sing together:
"And all these days I spend away…"
DAMIEN: "I'll make up for this I swear…"
MICHAEL: "I need your love to hold me up…"
BOTH: "When it's all too much to bear"
BOTH: "And when the night falls in around me…
I don't think Ill make it through…
I'll use your light to guide the way…
Cause all I think about is you"
BOTH: "And all these days I spend away…
Ill make up for this I swear…
I need your love to hold me up…
When its all too much to bear"
"When the night falls in around me…
I don't think I'll make it through…
Ill use your light to guide the way…
Cause all I think about is you"
Damien then put his hand on Michael's shoulder, "And that's true Mike…all that time I was away all I did think about was you, and Christian, and Jack…and right this very moment those people I once considered my friends have taken Christian…and Rose."
"What…" Michael said with shock.
"Come back down and I'll explain all there…in the time we have." Damien said.
"Once they were back down stairs Damien said, "Okay…I'm guessing that all of you want an explanation as to why I'm back, it's simple…I'm trying to protect my son and daughter."
"Yeah, but that doesn't explain why they took Rose…"
"Jake…" Damien said, "there's some you need to know about Rose's Mother and Father."
Rose awoke to see Christian seated right next to her, across from her was one of L'Épée Foncée's men, "You're awake…that's good, at first I thought the stun spell may have been too powerful."
"You bastards…how dare you kidnap me!" Rose protested.
"You call it kidnapping…" the soldier said, rolling up his left sleeve revealing he had the same mark as she had on her forearm. "Where did you get that?"
"I can understand you're a bit confused…but now that I look upon you, I do see that you are more like your mother than I led myself to believe." The soldier said.
"And how did you know my mother?" Rose asked.
"Same way I knew your father…we were all part of the same group, that is until your uncle killed them."
"Who are you!" Rose demanded to know.
The figure then removed his hood, Rose stared in shock of who was sitting opposite of her…for sitting across from her in the crimson cloak and dark 'Huntsclan'-like clothing and iron-shod boots…was her History teacher…Aiden Blackmen.
