What happened to Jake will be explained throughout the story. They will be told through flashbacks.
Chapter 3: If You Can't Be With The One You Love...
"Hey, Haley, you here?" 26 year old Rose called out as she entered the shop. Rose has lived at the shop ever since she quit the Huntsclan.
"Hey, Rose! I'm in the back!" Haley called back. She walked to the front of the shop. "So, what's the verdict?"
Rose worked for the dragon council to help track down Jake and the Dark Dragon.
"Well, apparently, Jake and the dark dragon are a lot harder to track down than we gave them credit for." She answered.
Haley groaned. Rose sighed. Even though she didn't love Jake then, Rose realized she has feelings for Jake.
Rose walked down the rainy streets of Manhattan. She spotted Jake in the shop and rushed in.
"Rose!" Jake exclaimed.
"I need to talk to you." She said. Rose sat down on the couch.
Jake sighed and sat next to her. "You could've talked to me when I told you who I was."
"You don't understand! I was scared!" Rose insisted. "I transferred, because I couldn't face you. You don't know what the Huntsman is capable of."
"Did you...tell him anything?"
"I told him you escaped. And that I was through with hunting."
"And?"
"He kicked me out."
"Oh." Jake was silent for a minute. "You could live here." He said. "I'm sure my Gramps'll take you in."
Rose smiled. "Thanks."
"No prob!" Said Jake. He hesitated, then decided to ask. "Hey, listen, do you wanna start over? Maybe go to dinner or something?"
Rose thought for a minute then spoke. "Jake, I'm not ready for that, yet. Maybe we should just be friends first. Then see how things go."
"Okay." Jake replied.
Rose sighed sadly. She wished she said yes when she had the chance.
