Going Back
6: 00 p.m.
They were finally in the outskirts of Toronto. Jake finally thought it was time to rest. They landed in a forested area and rested. Rose took a nap beside Jake who was still awake. He thought if he could do this forever. Running away was never going to make it easy for him. He had to face this, through the end. He had to retrace his steps. He had to go back.
"Rose?" Jake said. Rose woke up.
"Yeah?" Rose said.
"Do you trust me?"
"Huh?" Rose was a little confused. She had just awoken from her nap.
"Do you trust me?" Jake repeated.
"Of course."
"If you trust me, you have to leave me. Go as far away as you can."
"Why? I've searched night and day for you. I don't want to let you go."
"But it's not easy to be here with me. They hunt us down whoever they are?"
"What? That dragon. Heck, I know you've forgotten but I'm a dragon slayer. I can take it."
"It's more than that. I know it."
"But what are you gonna do?"
"I'll go back to Halifax." Jake then grabbed his bag.
"Here's forty-thousand dollars. You can start a life here."
Rose thought about it for a while. "Okay. But how will I find you?"
"Don't worry. I'll find you."
They went there separate ways. Rose saw her dragon fly over the woods until he was a dot. She then went to a street and waited for a cab.
