Disclaimer: "Hey guys, Jack here. Dude's Charlie doesn't own us, but apparently she owns Layla which is just... werid but I guess you have to expect the unexpected sometimes *happy dance* I got to say my line :D Anywho... enjoy :)" Haha thanks for clearing that up for me Jack :* "Don't kiss my cheek when people are reading -.- I have a girlfriend you know." :P not at the moment. "Pfft! Whatever!" Well Like Jack said... enjoy :'D
Previously on dark dragon: Kim never thought that after everything that Jack had done and said for these past weeks, was all because he was being black mailed, used by a couple of manics. How couldn't see of noticed? Finding out the truth Kim wanted to help him, but he refused it. Claiming that it would only bring more danger. She needed to know one thing, something that would either relieve or destory her. Did he still love her? He did! She was so happy to sort of have him back, but their moment was short lived. The masked guy returned only he wasn't wearing the mask now. Jack had frozen scaring Kim more tha any one must now. Jack called the man his father... but when the guy approached Jack wouldn't move.
Chapter Seven ~ Traitor's return.
"Jack I'm sorry for your loss.." A lady I never knew sighed wiping away a lone tear. I gave her a polite smile but I never took my eyes off my brother's coffin. How could this happen? I was mean't to protect him! This was all my fault...! I shouldn't of left Lay and Sammy with that monster. I should of stood my ground and not run away like a weakling. Because of my pathetic actions my baby brother was dead! I hated my father, so much! But I just couldn't shake this fear I had of him. I know I can take him, but when he's drunk... I'm too terrified to attempt an attack. The only good thing is that Lay doesn't remember a thing, but she still loves him! I wish I could make her see the truth but, I don't want her to be terrified of him too. If he ever hurts her though mark my words!
"We are gathered here today in loving memory of Sam Brewer..." The guy muttered on and on about my little brothers short life. While he talked away, the night kept playing through my mind over and over again. The car brakes, the impact and then the darkness. Then suddenly it would replay, every time I'd see my baby brother hit the pavement just before the car blocks my view. Then all the pain in my leg and side explodes, engulfing me in darkness... It was getting too much, I just wanted to shout out and stop this... the more it replayed the more I could feel the pain in my side, as if it was actually happening to me now. Again Sam slammed into the pavement, this time I called out his name...
"Jack!" Kim cried shaking me slightly. My eyes snapped open and finally I was pulled out of the horrible memory. The funeral of my brother disappeared and a darkened room replaced the memories. I was covered in sweat and I was breathing a little too heavily, which scared me slightly as I was so confused. My head was throbbing and I couldn't seem to concentrate. I blinked a few times and finally I was able to focus on Kim's worried face. Why was she scared? I went to sit up but, as soon as I moved white hot pain shot up my side. The pain was unbearable, I almost blacked out from just the one movement, but I quickly regained my breathing pattern and stilled myself. The pain subsided a little, but I could still feel it. How hadn't I noticed this before? I tried to recall what had happened but every time I tried, the pain in my head increased, pushing me out. Kim noticed my breathing changes and looked even more concerned.
"Jack...?" She asked. I nodded slowly, trying not to move my head any more than needed.
"What the hell happened!" I groaned rubbing my throbbing temples. I can remember certain things but most of it is still fussy. Its frustrating I know I'm forgetting something very important. I have a huge pit in my stomach that was telling me that something was horribly wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.
"You don't remember that..." She trails off looking away.
"Remember what?" I asked
"Jack your dad, he's alive..." She stops again.
"Wha..." As if a switch came on in my head, I suddenly remember everything. I remember that he returned and that I had frozen to the spot... then he came towards us and... nothing!? I couldn't remember anything more, just darkness and then Sammy's funeral...
"He came at us and you didn't move." Kim carried on. "I tried to move you out the way but... I couldn't" A tear slipped almost unnoticed down her cheek.
"Did he hurt you!" I blurred out making her jump.
"No... but he hit you over the head, you..." Tears welled up in her eyes. "I'm so sorry I couldn't stop him. You went down and and... he kicked you in the chest until he realised you weren't awake. He's a true psycho I'm so sorr..." I put my finger to her lips.
"Why are you sorry?" I asked with a smirk. "I'm just glad he didn't hurt you. Where is he anyway?" She shrugged her shoulders.
"Actually more importantly where are we?" I looked around but I recognized nothing.
"The Black Dragon dojo" She whispered looking to the door. For a second time pure fear erupted in my stomach. If we are at the dojo that means, Sensei lee and most probably my father are here, not good! I can't protect Kim against those manics, not like this.
"We need to get out of here!" I stated trying to stand. I wobbled slightly but managed it. Adrenaline must be kicking in, as the pain was at a very high but bearable level. I walked towards the door and tried it. Of course it was locked. I let go of the handle and as soon as I did, it twisted and opened. I pushed Kim behind me and moved backwards, as a figure walked into the room.
"Hello Son." The sound of his voice sent a lone shiver down my spine. I refused to be scared of him any more, but again I couldn't move. Kim sensed this and took my hand in hers. He stepped into the room, allowing the light from the doorway to over take the darkness. I then realised we had been locked in the changing rooms.
"Brian wants to see you." He had a grin plastered to his face as he looked to me. I knew what was coming. He came forward and grabbed a hold of my shirt. My hand slipped out of Kim's as he forcefully dragged me away from her.
"Come along Jackie. Stay there blondie!" He chuckled slamming the door on Kim's horrified face. I managed to give her a small smile before it closed. I was dragged onto the matt and thrown to the floor. I groaned at the pain, but I sat upright so I could see more clearly.
"Jackson Jackson Jackson." My uncle mocked. "You just don't understand what respect means do you?" I gulped down my fear and meet him face to face. I was about to make a smart ass remark when my father grabbed my arms pinning them to my back. I didn't bother to struggle, it was worthless... The blade gleamed in the light before it pieced my flesh again. I couldn't help it.. I screamed out in agony...
*Kims pov*
My heart fell into my stomach every time Jack screamed. I'd ran to the door and attempted to push, pull, punch and kick it open. It failed of course and I sank to my knees, using the door as support. I've never heard him call out like that, it was killing me from the inside. My strong, cocky Jack was in pain. What where they doing to him? He must of cried out like 10 times now and still didn't sound as if they were going to stop. I covered my ears and screwed my eyes shut. I couldn't help him. He was in pain right now and I couldn't get to him. I felt so helpless, all I could do was listen.
Suddenly everything went quiet, too quiet. I bounced to my feet, as the door unlocked and opened again. I opened my eyes in time to see Jacks motionless body fall to the floor. A light switch was turned on and finally I could see. The door slammed shut once more and I heard the locking sound.
I blinked my eyes a few times to adjust to the new lighting, until I could see clearly. I looked at jack and blushed scarlet red as I realised he was topless. I moved closer to jack and turned him into his back. I gasped in horror, at the sight before me. The letters r,e,s,p,e,c,t had been carved into his right torso. Respect, why would they carve that?! Next to the respect was exclamation mark. The dot had been craved in quite deep and underneath all the writing was a huge line. It said in all: RESPECT!
I couldn't believe someone would do this. Suddenly the door opened again, this time I moved protectively in front of jack. No way where they hurting him anymore, not while I was here.
"We are here for you blondie" Jacks father chuckled. Grabbing my arm, he pulled me from then room. It all happened to fast for me to react. Before I knew it I was in the middle of the dojo, standing on the mat.
"My names Kim!" I yelled trying to get lose.
"Kimberly. How nice to meet you." a guy I didn't recognized smiled. This must be the Sensei lee that jack keeps going on about.
"What do you want with us?" I asked stepping out of Jack's dads grip. I stumbled and fell to my knees in front of the Sensei.
"You are going to leave this dojo, and forget what you have seen." He said casually.
"Like Hell..." Jack's dad slapped me around the face cutting my sentence short.
"Jackson. There was no need." The Sensei sighed. That is when it hit me. That's why Jack hates to be called by his first name. He had been named after his father, who he obviously disliked.
"Where were we..." The sensei looked to the ceiling and then back to me. "Ah! You're going leave and not come back."
"I'm not leaving without Jack." I stated folding my arms.
"Yes you are." He grinned. "If you carry on then we will just have to drag Jack back out here... You have no respect either, so maybe craving it into him again will teach you. If not how about carving it into you..."
"Leave Jack out of this!"
"Jack has everything to do with this dear." He sighed looking frustrated. "Now you leave or else." I know I can't reason with this guy. If I left I'd be leaving Jack with these monsters, but if I stayed he'd be hurt because of me. So I made the hardest decision in my life... I walked out of the dojo.
"I'm sorry Jack." I muttered to myself as the door closed behind me.
*Sensei Lee pov*
"Finally. Bring Jack out here." I asked waving Jackson away. I need to keep testing Jack's abilities, he is my weapon, and soon will do as I ask. For now I had to keep pushing him.
Something popped into my head, a good idea I believe. I pulled out my phone and quickly dialled Ty's number.
"Sir!" He answered sounding slightly scared. He really irritated me at first, with his childish ways. After a few days he soon straightened out.
"Get in touch with that guy..." I paused to recall his name. "Rudy. Tell him that the Black Dragons would like to have a small sparing match on Saturday."
"Yes... sir!"
"No onlookers just the sensei's and the students needed. It will be held at... their dojo for a change." I smiled evilly to myself. This is really going to test Jack's will power, it was prefect! "Tell him it will happen at about 11 am."
"Right away sir." With his answer I hung the phone up. Jackson came back in dragging Jack with him.
"He is still out of it." Jackson mumbled throwing the boy to the floor. I sighed in frustration, maybe the craving along with the kicks where a little too much for him.
"Take him to his house, and make sure he stays there." I ordered.
"Of course..." Jackson muttered grabbing a hold of Jack once more.
Soon I would have the best karate student around, to do my bidding. But First I needed to sort this sparring match out. The looser for a Sensei, Rudy, is going to be in for a big surprise at how I plan to work this. I never said it would be student's vs student's...
*Jack's POV*
A cold chill swept across my body making me shift uncomfortably in my sleep. As I moved a pain spread across my chest making me awake suddenly. I groaned and looked around at my surroundings. I was relieved to see my bedroom, but something stone cold was attached to my wrist. I looked over at the thing restraining me to the bed. I growled when I saw the handcuffs. The door to my room opened and he walked in.
"Hello Son." My father chuckled sitting on the edge of my bed. I pulled myself as far away from him as I could. I then noticed I was shirtless, blood still was dripping from my new flesh tattoo, so much for wearing no top in summer.
"What do you want?" I spat.
"He speaks!" He grinned, I intensified my glare. "I'm just babysitting you..."
"What is with the bloody handcuffs?" I growled moving my hand about, so he could see them more clearly.
"Couldn't be bothered to keep watching you, so I placed them on instead." He shrugged.
"Unlock them and get OUT!" I yelled. He sat up suddenly making me jump. He then walked over to me and pulled out a knife. Seriously what's with these guys and their weapons? Why not just use their karate?!
"Watch your tone with me!" He snapped putting the blade to my throat. "I have orders to watch you... nothing more!"
"Hmm..." I mumbled
"Now I'll be back in later. Shut up and SLEEP!" He shouted pushing me backwards so I was now laying down again. He then walked from the room.
***** Dark Dragon *****
"JACK!" The sound of my father's voice made me jump awake. He was standing at my beside along with Sensei Lee. Finally he had shown himself. I have been stuck in here for a few days now. It was almost the weekend, I think... The pain in my side had begun to subside, but it still ached to move.
"Where's Kim?" I asked.
"Back at her dojo... But that's not what I'm here to talk about." He smirked "We are having a sparing match against your old dojo. I expect you to attend practice today and to fight with them tomorrow." I went to protest but the look in his eye told me not to, so I simply nodded.
Finally my wrist was freed. I rubbed my throbbing red wrist and shot a glare to my father, who shrugged it off and left.
"Come along then." Sensei warned walking from my room. I followed him after grabbing my Gi.
Practice wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Training against the dummy's and having a few sparing matches. Something was telling me not to go to the sparing match, but it didn't seem as if I had a choice.
***** Dark Dragon *****
I walked into the bobby Wasabi dojo with Sensei Lee, Ty and a few other black dragons. Carson and Frank included. It read dead 11 am on the dojo clock and I had been literally dragged here. It was nice to see that the dojo hasn't really changed much though. Rudy and the others kept giving me pissed, worried and concerned glances. I only hoped Kim hadn't told them everything. I tried my hardest not to make eye contact with her. Thankfully my father hadn't come along on this trip, so unless Kim had said something, Layla didn't know about him.
"Hello and welcome to my dojo." Rudy smiled politely taking Lee's outstretched hand. His welcome had dragged me out of my thoughts.
"There has been a change of plan.." Lee smirked finishing the handshake. Rudy wasn't the only one who was confused, we all where. It made me nervous to think what he was planning.
"What do you mean by that?" Rudy asked stepping in front of the warriors protectively.
"Your student's are going to fight against..." Lee started but Rudy interrupted. I think I held my breath when he did that. Lee hates to be ignored or interrupted, I should know that...
"Your student's I know." Rudy sighed rolling his eyes.
"NO!" Lee yelled making Rudy, the warriors and Frank jump. After calming himself he continued. "Your student's are going to fight against Jack. And Jack alone!"
"WHAT!" Everyone yelled.
"I'm not going to fight..." I was cut off with the feel of his blade on my back.
"Yes you are.." He warned. When I didn't move he pushed the blade closer until it was beginning to go into my flesh. My eyes flickered around and thankfully no one knew what was happening right now. The normal fear I would show was replaced by my anger. I couldn't believe he was doing this. He kept pushing it in further and it was really starting to sting. Plus he was really beginning to piss me off. I wasn't some weakling, and I wasn't a push over. It was time I stood up for myself.
"No I won't." I glared. I saw Kim's face drop. I turned to face him. So the blade finally was out of the small wound. His glare terrified me but I ignored it.
I then did something I never thought I would. I grabbed his wrist containing the blade and flipped him!
