Chapter 4

Claw Meets Dog

{Jack}

So after a long thinking period of what I was going to do for this chapter, I figured out what I was going to do... sorta... well I'm right now debating between people and characters I should use... ok I think I got it now. DONt HATE ME PLEASE I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT 333 well then again you might not hate me, but just in case. Prepare for how the parents personalities should show in there children. Sorry if they don't really show I promise they will soon ;)

Important Note: (Sorry)

Also yes its official, Jack is gay, I'm sorry please don't hate me and be rude about it, he might fall in love with another character in this book, I'm sorry once again but I forgot to warn you that there will be some gayness. Once again only one gay ship and the rest are straight. *insert black hearts here + rainbow flag* ;3

"Do you think he actually was going to give us to the king?"

Kaitlin asked as Rowan nudge do his feathered head against her arm. Jack shrugged, he was seated on a crate as the two talked at the docs.

"I mean, he sounded like he would if it was just you and then he would keep me as his slave" Jack shivered.

"Pervert" he mumbled as Kaitlin laughed. Max whined and put his on Jacks lap with a sad look.

"Don't worry buddy, I won't let him get us" Jack assured his spirit animal as he pet his head. Kaitlin watched with a sigh and looked out over the ocean and bay.

"Do you think he'll report us to the Greencloaks?" She asked looking back at Jack who looked at her with worry in his blue eyes.

"I'm... not sure" he said truthfully as his gaze met the ground and he pulled a piece of his white hair away from his face and behind his ear.

"I mean it wouldn't be so bad..." Kaitlin started as she tappped her nails on the front side of the crate he was sitting on and swished her feet back and forth.

"In all honesty we could just refuse and... move on?" She asked in question, Jack nodded and looked up again.

"You remember how we would sneak into the library after hours and learn about all the regions, main ports, main locations and history?" Jack suddenly asked as Kaitlin smiled a toothy grin.

"Stetriol previously home of the conquers, Amaya home of an important medicine called Willow Extract, Nilo known for The Evertree and Coffee, Eura home to Shepard and grassy hills, Zhong known for its wall surrounding Jano Rhio and Conquer attacks, Oceania known from the Hundred Islands and muiltiple tribes and Artica the land of peace" Kaitlin finished with a smug smile and smart look on her face.

"And if were separated...?" Jack aske dleaning forwrad.

"Listen to details, clues and where there heading" she concluded and Jack smacked his hand on the box in triumph.

"Atta girl!" Jack exclaimed with a smile. Kaitlin smiled.

"What should we do now?" She asked getting up on the crate so she was crouching and peeking over the top crates.

"I don't think he followed us..." Kaitlin trailed off like she was going to say something else but immediately stopped.

"What is it?" Jack asked getting up and crouching next to Kaitlin, he peeked over the crates.

"That little snitch!" Jack hissed "Who does he think he is? Important?" Kaitlin shushed him and kept watching curiously.

There, General Owen was speaking to some Redcloaks, one had a cat mask, another one had a type of bird mask, and the last one had a jaguar mask. All white and draped with red cloaks on there shoulders and heads. Then the General left as the two bigger Redcloaks gave a nod to the teenage looking one before going off into a boat.

"Let's get out of here" Kaitlin whispered, retreating back as Rowan fluttered on her shoulder, Jack shook his head and followed, Max followed by his side.

They slowly walked down the docs hidden by the crates and walking behind them. They soon turned and ran down the doc bridge and into another street, Kaitlin went down a dirty alley way and made a turn, Jack was about to follow when he heard something.

"Hey! Stop right there!" Jack froze and stopped walking, Max did the same.

"You with the white hair!" The same person called, slowly turning, Jack was met with a teenage sized Redcloak, wearing a bright red cloak on there shoulders and a hood over there head. A white jaguar mask was placed on their face, completely hiding there identity.

They were smaller than Jack but a half of a foot bigger than Kaitlin.

"I've been looking for you" the Redcloak sighed and approached them. Before Jack could even speak a word the Redcloaks pulled up there sleeve revealing a jaguar tattoo on there forearm

"No sudden moves, I need to ask you some questions" They stated realeasing the cat as a jaguar appeared by there side in a flash, it swished its tail back and forth and growled at Max, the German Shepard flatted its ears and barred its teeth, he growled as his fur stared to rise. Jack but his hand down on his back.

"Stand down..." he whispered softly, Max shook himself off and sat down, his ears still flat and his fur was starting to rise in warning.

"Are you familiar with the Greencloaks, Finn and Maya Cooley?" The Redcloak demanded pulling there sleeve back down. Jack shook his head.

"No but I've heard of them helping the four fallen" he replied simply The Redcloak continued.

"Ok, I had word you were working with and protecting a girl by the name of Kaitlin, if so I need you to go get her so we can take you both to Sunset Tower immediately" Jack froze.

"I'm sorry but I live here in Pandora, I don't wish to become a Greencloak. Thanks for your offer though" Jack turned to get back to Kaitlin but the Redcloak grabbed his arm and whipped him back around.

"Listen" they replied as Jack yanked away from there grip.

"That wasn't a question, it was an order and unless you want me to turn you in, you will come to Amaya with me even if I have to knock you out, understand? If I don't see you at the docs tomorrow at dawn, I will hunt you" they reported sternly as they turned and stalked away before freezing and turning to look at him with the plain white jaguar mask.

"Have a nice day... Jack" and with the jaguar stalking by there side they turned and left.

Jack gulped as Max let out a threatening bark, when the jaguar stood and stared at them before bounding off to meet there partner.

"How the heck did she know your name?!" Kaitlin demanded as Jack gulped with a shiver.

"I... I don't know..."
