Here's the second chapter! Thank you to ada69 who refreshed my memory that this takes place after 'The Hunted' episode I don't really know what I'm going to do after this. Maybe a confrontation followed by lots of fluff!:D Not sure yet but ill try to get something new up soon!
"Rose! No!" The dragon yelled at her with plea.
Rose's eyes widened as she doused her glowing stick. She stopped dead in her tracks. "Wha-what did you just call me?" She stuttered with surprise.
"Rose," The dragon repeated, gazing at her with gentle eyes. "If you want to say good-bye, say it to my human face," He said, then transformed into a boy. "Rose, it's me," He urged.
Oh no. It can't be. Rose thought as her knees began to buckle. "Jake?" She chocked then removed her mask to get a better look at him.
No words were exchanged as the two stared at one another, betrayal and heart break in each glance. Rose was in utter shock. Her heart was beating so fast and so loud she was sure Jake could hear it. I can't kill him…I won't. But we both have to get out of here.
A glare formed in her eyes and she charged towards him. With a loud, attacking cry, she ignited her stick and cut Jake's bindings before fleeing into the forest.
"Rose! Wait!" She cringed at Jake's call to her, but kept running. When she knew she was far away, Rose collapsed against a tree to catch her breath.
Tears began to soak her eyes as she angrily threw her stick to the ground. "Why Jake? Why did it have to be you?" She muttered aloud.
Her entire body felt numb as she slumped down to the ground. She brought her knees up to her chest and buried her face in them, then released her destroyed cries.
It felt like hours when she knew that she didn't have any tears left. For all that mattered, it probably had been.
Rose stood up and started down at her Huntstick vefore slowly picking it up. Knowing that the Huntsclan would be looking for her, she put her mask back on and strode out of the forest.

When she finally sulked into her bedroom that night, a new set of tears threatened to escape her eyes.
How could this happen? How could Jake Long, the only person in the world she had ever truly loved, be her enemy? And not just any enemy; the one that she had worked her whole life to kill. Rose suddenly felt nausea purse through her body at the thought.
You should have seen this coming Rose. She scolded herself. She looked over at the framed picture of her and Jake from the fall dance. She picked it up and gazed at in longingly.
I can't ever see him again. What if he hates me? He probably does. Way to go, Rose. You blew it. Every good chance you had. She slammed the frame face down on her nightstand and crumbled down to the floor. She buried her face in the crook of her arms and her shoulders began to shake as she released the tears.
Why does this hurt so much? She wondered. I mean, he's just a boy, right? It never would have lasted. Rose knew that was a total lie. Oh, don't try to kid yourself Rose. You love him. She argued with her mind. You love him and there's nothing you can do about it.
Rose sighed as she sat up, leaning against her bed. She closed her eyes, reliving the small but precious moments she had shared with Jake. She smiled to herself at how cocky and shy he was when she was around him. He could act like such a dork sometimes, but he sure was cute while doing it.
Then Rose's happy memories turned to all of the times they had fought one another as Huntsgirl and Dragon. Rose suddenly hated herself for the number of times when she had almost killed him. Jake wasn't the monster. She was.
"Jake…please. Forgive me," She whispered before breaking out into tears once more.
Sorry that these two chapters are so short! I feel really bad but there is so much that I can think of but I promise to add more once I whip something up! Please R&R and share ideas if you have any I love hearing from you all!
