Chapter 2: Dark Plans and Unanswered Questions

Jake walked slowly down for breakfast, lost in his thoughts of everything that had happened in his dream last night. He ate his breakfast quikely in hopes that he could go talk to his grandfather before he went to school but soo gave up on this idea when he realized that his problem was going to create a very long discussion and he didn't want to be late to school. (BTW Jake, Trixie, and Spud are all in High School now) After going back upstairs to get his stuff he left to go meet up with Trixie and Spud. They were already waiting for him at their meeting place by the time he got there.

"Hi Jake. Did you finnish the Algebra homework?" greeted Trixie but looking at him more closely asked "Are you feeling alright? You look like you didn't get much sleep last night."

"Well, I had a really freaky dream last night" said Jake, explaining everything that had happened the night before. When Jake had finnished Both Trixie and Spud had very disturbed looks on their faces.

"Oh man! Just when we finnaly get rid of the Dark Dragon for good, we have to deal with some other creature of the dark!" sighed Spud. "Well...maybe this one will be easier to beat then the dark dragon."

"I don't think so Spud" replied Jake shivering and wrapping his arms around himself. "When I was surrounded by it, I never felt more afraid of anything in my entire life. That...thing was just pure evil, the dark dragon paled in comparison..."

All three were silent as they headed for school. Each wondering what to expect from this new evil and how to prepare for it.

Meanwhile...

Deep in the center of Central Park everything was still and silent. There didn't even seem to be any creatures or humans around. If there were then they would have felt the small tremors that were shaking the area and would have sensed the dark aura that was seeping from it. As time passed the tremors were getting stronger and a small crack started to form in the ground which got steadilly bigger.

Once the crack was about 2 feet long, out of it poured pure black goo that somewhat resembled tar. As more came out it started taking the shape of a tall human like creature with long skinny arms and sharp claw-like fingers and toes. It had no facial features other then two round glowing red eyes. After it had completely formed it just stood there like it was waiting for something.

"Go my minion...blend in with the humans and find the dragon known as Jake Long. Once he is alone and vulnerable, capture him and bring him here to me..."

Without any acknowledgement of its master's words the creature silently made its way through the trees, blending in perfectly with the shadows. When it finally reached the outskirts of the park it stopped and observed the humans the walked by, taking in all the information it could about them. Once it had collected enough information into a tall male human who looked like he was in his late teens with very dark black hair and deathly pale skin with deep red eyes. It wore a plain black shirt, a pair of jeans, and sneakers. Once it was done changing it set out to find its target.

Many hours later...

After school was over Jake, Trixie and Spud rushed over to grandpa's shop to tell him about everything that had happened in the dream. They were in such a rush that they weren't paying attention to their surroundings and didn't notice the pale figure that they ran passed, which turned around and started following them. When they entered the shop all they saw was Fu dog reading a magazine that he ordered.

"Hey kid, how's it going?" greeted Fu as he looked up from his magazine.

"Hi Fu. Do you know where gramps is? I need to talk to him."

"Sure, he's in the back" replied Fu as he led them to the back of the shop

When they found him, Loa Shi was going through all the magical items in the shop and throwing out all the junk that had collected over the years.

"Oh good, your here Jake. Now we can continue your lesseon from where we left off last night."

"Actually gramps I need to talk to you about a dream that I had last night." said Jake with a very serious and slightly scared look on his face.

"Ok then explain what happened." Lao Shi said after seeing how serious Jake was.

Jake then proceeded to tell his grandfather all about the dark creature and the strange white dragon that had saved him. When Jake was finnished, Lao Shi sat in silence for a while thinking over everything that Jake had said. After a few minutes he said

"Hmm...that is pretty strange but I think I have an idea about who they are. I won't confirm my suspicions until Fu and I find more information."

"You think you know who they are?! Then tell me!" Jake said excitedly

"Not until I am sure. But for now you should be very careful. We don't know when it will make its next move. You three should head home now before it gets too dark out. Jake, if you are visited by that dragon in your dreams again I want you to come tell me the moment you wake up."

"Alright. Then I'll see you tomarrow." sighed Jake in dissapointment as the three left the shop

"Well that didn't help much" sighed Spud

"No but maybe they'll be able to find something in their search." shrugged Trixie

"Well goodnight you guys, I'll see you tommarrow!" said Jake as they all went their sepparate ways

"Bye Jake! And be careful!" waved Trixie as she walked away

As Jake walked home he was deep in thought and absent mindedly watched the moon as it rose into the night sky. The moon was a tiny cresent, another couple more days and it will be completely gone. Suddenly, Jake had a strange feeling like he was being watched. Shivering, he looked around and saw nothing so he quickened his pace home.

If Jake had looked just a little bit closer into the shadows he might have seen glowing red eyes watching him out of the darkness.

'Master...he is alone...'

'Perfect! Now capture him and bring him to me.'

'Yes my master...' responded the creature as it stalked forward towards his pray.
