"Really? This old man has nothing better to do?" Thought Jason. "I'll just use my fire to get out."
Jason uses his fire breathing to bust out. Then he went home. When Jason opened his eyes, he noticed that it was still dark out.
Jason: That's weird… Jake?
no response. Jason goes to Jakes room.
Jason: Jake!?
Jason yells for Jake, Susan came out of her room and walked towards Jason.
Susan: Jason?
Jason: W-wheres Jake?
Susan: Jake? Don't you remember? He… he died… trying to protect you from the Huntsmen…
"What?…"
Jason: He—he can't be… I saw him in the—
Jason opens his eyes and he notices that he is back in his room.
Jason: JAKE?!
Jason goes into Jakes room to see… He is not there.
Jason screams Jakes name, then Jonathan ran into Jakes room.
Jonathan: Jason! Are you ok?
Jason: Wheres Jake?
Jonathan: He… Um… He died… He protected you from these… maniacs in weird uniforms…
Jason: What?…
Jonathan: I know… It's hard for us, too…
Jason opens his eyes and notices he is back in his room. Jason screams with insanity. Susan and Jonathan come to his aid.
Jonathan: Jason! What is—
Jason: STAY AWAY! GET BACK! YOU AREN'T REAL! YOU AREN'T REAL! HELP!
Jason opens his eyes. He is a dragon. He isn't in his room anymore. Instead, he is in the sewers. He jumps up, trying to find an exit, but to no avail. After a couple of hours, he gave up crying on a ledge. Then, the Dark Dragon appears from the water.
Dark Dragon: Jason
Jason Jumps up but is still tearing up. "What do you want?!"
Dark Dragon: I want you, Jason. I want you to follow every command I say until your bitter end.
Jason: I won't fall to you!
Dark Dragon: I had a feeling you'd say that.
The Dark Dragon cackles softly as Jason's vision gets darker and darker. Jason opens his eyes. Not in his bed, not in the sewers, but on the street, he is standing. He hears Jakes voice, he runs towards it.
Jason(1): Jake! JAKE!
Jason goes around the corner of the street and he sees Jake.
Jason: JAKE!
Jake turns his head and sees Jason.
Jake: Jason!
Jason and Jake run towards each other. Just as they were about to hug, Jake went through Jason.
Jason: W-what?…
Jason looks at his hands, then turns around and sees himself… hugging Jake. Jason looks at his hands again as if he were foreign to himself.
Jason: B-but… I…
Jake: *Speaking to the Jason(2) he is hugging* Where were you?
Jason(1): I'm here! Look! Please, look at me!
Jason(2): *With tears in his eyes* I was looking for you… T-the H-huntsmen… They… They got Grandpa… H-he tried to fend them off, b-but he….
Jake: It's gonna be ok… He's in a better place now… Right now, we have to kill the Dark Dragon.
Jason(1) looks around hopelessly. He sees a boulder being thrown by a black-colored dragon. He knew it was coming for Jake.
Jason(1): Jake!
Jason(1) becomes visible right before he unwillingly pushes Jason(2) out of the way of the boulder.
Jason(1)(2): JAKE!
Jake: Jasons?
Jake gets crushed by the boulder. Jason's(1) vision gets darker and darker…
Jason opens his eyes. He sees the Dark Dragons face hovering over his. He screams and backs away. He has tears in his eyes
Jason: J…. Jake… W-why did I save myself instead of Jake?…
Dark Dragon: Because I made you do that. Now, I want you to follow every command I say or I could make you do something a lot worse.
The next morning, Jake woke up and made cereal.
Jake: That's odd, Jason usually wakes up before me… Well, we did have a long day yesterday. I'll go wake him up.
Jake goes into Jason's room and sees that he isn't there.
Jake: Jason?
Jake looks around Jason's room and he notices a piece of paper on his desk.
Jake: A note…
The note reads—Meet me behind the local library at 1:00 a.m. I have something cool to show you.
Jason.
PS: Don't bring or tell anyone. "A brother's secret"
The note ends.
Jake: Jason…
