Chapter 6: H
Man I am getting lazy with my chapter titles!! Why does my chapter name only have one letter in it!!!!!
Just as before, Trixie, Spud, and Jake walked over to Rose's residence and rang her door bell. Down come both her, and her twin. The two stepped out of the house and walked with the group of out their yard.
"Hey Rose." Jake said to her like everyday.
"Hey yourself," She answered putting an arm around his shoulder.
Jake could tell he was blushing. "So…umm…how did you sleep?" He tried talking so know one would notice.
Rose moved her arm. "Uhh…I slept horrible. I feel like I haven't got a week of sleep." She started putting her arms into a fist, frustrated from the lack of sleep.
"So anyways, how was you and Rose's little date night last night!?" Trixie changed the subject as they headed onto the sidewalk.
"It was nice, the food was great." Rose answered her.
Roxanne jumped into the conversation. "Yeah I had a great time too!!" She answered.
Trixie turned her head. "What! You went too!!?"
"Yeah I went with Spud…" She shyly said, she didn't know that she didn't know.
Throwing up her hands, Trixie's eyes started widen. "You mean I was the only person who didn't go last night!!"
Everyone was silent.
Jake decided to throw his two cents in. "Well we told you you could come, if you found a date."
"Awww man! I knew I should have got Kyle's number before the end of the school year!!" She prayed up her arms. Her mind was not set on the cutest boy in the school, Kyle Wilkins.
They all ignored Trixie. "So, what do you guys wanna do today?" Jake present out a new topic. For now the teens just continued on the sidewalk, unaware to where they were going. "How about we…"
"Please don't say skateboarding!!" Roxanne begged him. "I still have a bruise on my back from last time."
Jake's last words were going to be about skateboarding, but I guess they don't do that. "Umm…okay…how about we just hang at the shop until we decide what to do." Everyone nodded to the statement, as they made a quick left to the other side of the street and headed for Lao Shi's shop.
As the five of them entered into the store, they all had a seat on the couch, bored as ever. "How about we watch a movie?" Spud suggested. "I heard Revenge of the Zombie is supposed to be good."
"Spud! That movies for 10 year olds…"
The teens relaxed on the couch, pondering what to do this afternoon. Suddenly, Fu Dog walks out from the back room and over to the crew. Jake lifted up his head, a glared at him. Fu dog collapsed onto the floor, tired as a dog. "Hey Fu, what's up."
"I'm exhausted. Gramps here just dragged me on a two hour patrol. TWO HOURS!!"
The kids sat up on the couch, looking at the dog. "Young dragon, we have an urgent message from the sprite village in Central Park." Lao Shi walked through the back room, entering into the front.
"Uhh…count me out." Fu pounded his head on the floor.
Jake flipped his body on the couch facing his grandfather. "Me too." He sighed. "Come on G, can't I just skip dragon business today?" All he wanted to do today is hang out with his friends.
"I'm sorry, but we have more important things to tend to." Jake jumped up. He knew that if his grandfather said that, it meant trouble. So Jake grabbed Rose and Roxanne, Lao Shi grabbed Trixie and Spud and they flew off into the air.
Roxanne exclaimed out as they soared over the building. "I can't believe I'm flying!!!" As she held out her arms, the rest were just silent, letting her enjoy her fun.
Finally they landed in front of Central Park. The park was still and quiet, unusual at this time of day. "Yo gramps, what are we doing here?" Jake called out to Lao Shi.
"There has been a report of a creature lurking about in the Park…" He tried to explain it as best as possible. Even Lao Shi the wise, didn't know what they were searching for.
As the stepped deeper into the forest of trees, all their faces went into shock. No one could say a word; all they could do is keep their mouths wide open.
A unicorn laid there on the grass, lying on its side. It had three slash marks, one on its neck and the other on its back legs. Its tongue was sticking out, so you knew there was no hope left for this little guy.
Jake was the first to speak. He stepped up to the unicorn, picking up his head. "How long has it been dead!?" He felt the sorrow for the elegant creature.
Lao Shi slowly walked over to the unicorn. He put his finger on different points on the unicorn, judging it's time of death. "For about 3 hours…" He estimated
Rose knew this wasn't an accident, but the death of the unicorn was not what surprised her. She walked up more, to a tree behind the deceased unicorn. On the tree, there were markings, markings that looked like they were drawn on there. Drawn, was a giant H, with a circle around it.
Rose brushed her fingers on the markings, feeling them. Suddenly, she felt sick to her stomach. "It's…" She started to make out. "It's, the mark of the Huntsclan."
