Chapter 5:
Rose was extra careful when she was in public around Jake. Though it pained her greatly she had to ignore him. It broke her heart to see his expression when she looks right past him. She stood on a cliff out looking the Huston bay. Jake was supposed to be there. Hopefully no one was following her.
A twig snapped and heart beat rapidly as she turned around nervously. Is it Hunts Master? Is it 88 and 89? She thought nervously.
Just then a finger lightly tapped her shoulder and a voice whispered in her ear. "Hi Rose. Long time no see."
She smiled at the familiar voice. "Hi Jake. It's good to see you too. She hugged him even though he was still in dragon form.
He grinned happily but still looked concerned. "You are extra jumpy tonight. Is every thing okay?"
She nodded and sighed. "It's just I'm so afraid of what the Hunts Master would do if he found out….I'm helping you. I don't want to loose you Jake." Tears started falling down her cheeks.
He reached over and gently rubbed her tears away. "I don't want to loose you either Rose. I won't let the Hunts Master hurt you."
She nodded and smiled softly. "How's Hope? Any idea how we can get her home?"
Jake nodded. "She's doing well. I let my mom baby-sit her for a little while. I have a hunch on how to get her home… I sure hope it works. Hope came here with a note meaning she is not here by accident. She dropped the letter when she crashed into the building. This morning she mentioned something about a war. Somehow I believe the two are connected."
Rose looked down then back into Jake's eyes. "I wonder if her jewel has anything to do with it. Hunts Master did say it had strong magical properties."
Jake looked determinedly toward the city. "If we are going to get any answers, it's best we find this letter to piece together this puzzle."
So together they flew off toward the fighting scene. Or rather Jake was flying and Rose was sitting on his back.
Rose looked out across the starry sky. "It's so beautiful up here." She breathed.
Jake smiled as he flew. "So are you."
Rose blushed and smiled. "You really think I'm beautiful Jake?"
Jake shook his head. "Nope. I KNOW you are beautiful!"
Rose laughed and lightly hit him. "Don't do that! You nearly had me going for awhile!"
Jake laughed too. "Don't worry Rose. I will always care about you. Now hold on. We are here.
Jake landed as gently as he could on the roof. He had to be extra careful no that he had a passenger. Once they got there, together they searched the area for any clues of where the letter was.
After a few minutes Rose said to the dragon. "Jake I think I found something! No! It can't be! Stay away from me! Jake help! AAAAAHHHH!"
