Chapter 9

Jonathan and Lao Shi sat on a couch near the wizard from Pristina and waited for results. He stood above a microscope and investigated the black leftovers from the portal.

"Daughters-husband... can you imagine how the world whould bee when the humans know that we exist?" Lao Shi asked.

"No! I try to imagine, but I can't!" Jonathan answered and looked into a shelv with some DVD's. "But I can imagine that this movie don't will exist in thier world." he said and presented his father-in-law an DVD with the movie 'Reign of Fire'.

"Oh, yes that movie..." Lao Shi said.

Meanwhile, Jake talked with the others about the same in front of the police-station.

"What,... that movie is existing here in this world, although the humans know that we exist?" Jake asked.

"Yes, I don't know... but here in our world is everything, and I mean really everything exactly like in your world." Pedro explained. "I mean I was in your world and saw the same things. And the only difference is that here the humans know and in your world not."

"That means all movies, serieses, programmes, people, news,... all is the same like in my world?" Jake asked.

"Yes, instead of the fact that you are here a 40 years old man!" Nancy interrupted thier conversation.

"Yes, that's true! Well... we have that adress... let's look what's there!" Jake said, transformed and flew with them away.

At the same time, Brad Morton entered with a suitcase the warehouse again where Jonny, his mother, thier both cousins and Grant where captured.

"It's time to say good bye! But before I leave I have to say you some words: YOU ARE A TERRIBLE, STINKY SPECIES! YOU ARE FRIGHTFUL, NOT INTERRESTING AND..."

"SHUT UP!" one of Mrs. Long's cousins shouted. "You have no clue! Okay, we know the secret of her family since just a few months, but in that time we had great expieriences. I mean before they showed me the magical-world I didn't knowed that I have a son in this world who is a..."

"Sal... you should didn't tell him that!" Mrs. Long said.

Brad became more angrilly. He looked on the woman who laied bind up with a rope in a cage. Than the cage sinked to the ground and Brad pulled her out.

"Ouwch you hurt me..."

"Shut up! And don't worry... I will let you free... after a short trip above the Atlantic-Ocean!" Brad said and leaved the warehouse with her and laughed.

Jonny and Grant where scared. They couldn't move, or do anything. They where trapped. Slowly Jonny could feel that he became senseless by the sphinx-hair...

At the same time, Jake flew with his three passengers high above the humans-world. It really looked like his own world. Really everything was the same...

"By the way... movies which tell or include magical-creatures are prophibited for the humans-world movie makers. They have to make movies, like the magical-world don't exists." Phillip told during Jake entered the magical-world again. "But sometimes, the magical-world publish a movie..."

"Awww... yes, you're right! I loved that romantic-movie with Jacob Black and Mareike Hoffmann above the love between a werewolf and a human-girl in the after-war-Germany of 1996! In 2006 when the movie was published and one week later in our world..." Nancy said

"Wait, wait..." Jake said. "Jacob Black, was that not the guy from... aww... forget it. I say it again: I don't understand your crazy world!"

During Jake flew above the magical-world he could see that Harlem and Manhattan where two independent cities here. He looked around and saw that the magical-world here in New York City must have a population of around one million! Much more than in his world. Phillip told him that Manhattan City have a population of around 750 thousand. Harlem around 90 thousand, Queens and Brooklyn each around 40 thousand. Completly in the Magical-Republic of New York live around 6.3 million people (including the humans who lived thier as refugees).

"Jake... you have to know that Magical-Harlem is the magical-city with the most humans!" Pedro said. "Just that you know, maybe you meet thier someone!"

"I would be just clad when I meet my wife!" Jake said to himself and thinked about her: it was not Rose, not Danika and not each other girl he knowed...

Meanwhile, Jake's wife laied in the car-boot of an old combi and was driving with Brad to an small airfield outside the city.

"Do you have any clue how it was in prison? More than ten years they banned me into that small cell, no radio, nothing to read when that gas-pile broke and explode... that was my chance to escape. And everyone thinks that I am dead, haha... And than I just hide in the cargo-room of that ship, and... the rest you can imagine. Beautiful city, Guangseng! Just all that war-leftovers, that holes in the walls, and everywhere cracks in the streets, that old buildings which are all cheaply repaired. But the big memorial in the city-center is very nice. I'm pretty sure that the humans-world will bombarding that first if my plan is working."

Jonny's mom couldn't say anything with the tape above her mouth. In that moment she cursed Brad. She hated him from the first moment she met him. Short time after she met Jake. She remembered...

FLASHBACK

March 1983: A young 14-years old girl is leaving her new apartment in Manhattan. Here she lives now with her uncle and her aunt. Her other uncle and aunt in Monterey, California where she lived and grown up send her to New York because her problems with her classmates. She was sad to leave her home. But now she was interrested in seeing New York. It was a beautiful day. It was too warm for this time of year and there was not much traffic.

When she was walking threw Chinatown and arrived a crossroad, she had no time to react when someone shouted. Than she could feel that someone or something hit her and smashed her to ground. When she opened her eyes, she was laing on the street and a young asia-american boy with black-hairs and a red jacket stood above her. It was Jake.

"Hey, are you okay? I'm so sorry... I haven't see you and than..." the young Jake said.

Than she saw a skateboard laying next to her. Jake didn't saw her when she came around the corner and smashed into her during he was driving on his skateboard. Than she could feel that the had a little bloody scratch on her head. Jake could see threw the long brown-hairs that she blooded.

"Awww maan... I'm so sorry. I didn't wanted to do that..."

"It's okay. I'm fine!" she said and stood up.

A group of pedestrians stoped and looked on her. "I'm fine!" she said and they leaved. "My first day here and than I have an accident!"

"Oh... it's your first day in New York. I hope you have not a bad mention above our city..." Spud, who stood behind Jake, said.

Than Trixie, who was also there, saw the blood. "Are you okay, do you feel strange...? You need a plaster!"

Than she followed them to a little dirty electronic shop just a few steps away. The old man behind the desk closed his book imediately when he saw a foreigin girl in his shop. They explained what happend and the old man got the first aid kit. Just two minutes later she leaved the shop again.

"Thank you for the plaster." she said and leaved the scene.

Maybe a minute after she leaved the shop, it happend. She met Brad walking across the streets. During she waited in front of a phone booth he saw her and imediately start to flirt with her.

"Oh... wow, the sky is missing an angel!" Brad said with a changed voice.

'Oh my gosh... a boy with too much self-confidence. I'm pretty sure, in a few seconds he will try to hug me!' she thaught and walked away.

"Hey, hey... wait may I get your number?" Brad asked and really tried to hug her.

In that moment she pushed him away. Jake who saw everything from the shop ran outside to help her. Brad than became a little bit angrilly. Before Jake arrived, Frederick Buttersleeves walked next to Brad. Brad pushed him into a heap of rubbish and than she saw what Brad for a guy was: a bully.

"Oww... you're a monster. You're violent. Hey are you okay?" she asked Frederick and leaved the scene with him as fast as possible. When she turned she saw Jake standing near Brad. He followed her.

In the next days, during she and Frederick became friends, she had to think often about Jake. He wanted to help her. That was a very good feeling. But when she wanted to visit Jake in the shop she saw him talking with that tall blonde girl. She was frustrated: he has a girlfriend. But when Jake saw her he winked. He asked how her head was? So often that she thaught, he don't know other words. In the next weeks, she, Spud, Trixie and Jake became friends. Allthough they visited different Middle-Schools, they met often.

But she had the strange feeling that they hide something from her. Jake was often tired and exhausted. She had the feeling that he has 20 jobs or more to do. But every time, she asked him why he is so tired he just answered: "You wouldn't understand it!"

What she didn't knowed was that all dragons had more work than they could do. Six dragons became sick from thier pressure. And Jake also start to get the burn-out-syndrome! On the same time Jake could get from Rose more informations above the huntsclan and above thier plans. The big attack from the magical-world was planned for the 20th August 1983.

But one week, before when she wanted to find out what's going on with Jake she surprised saw him transforming from far away. She was astonished and a little bit shocked. She ran away. That was it. This stress. His reason why he is so often under stress. But on the same evening when she wanted to talk with Jake about it she was kidnapped by the huntsclan. They found out what Rose did and killed her imediately.

There she was, in a little cell in the huntsclan-tower. The whole time they asked her what she knowed. She lied the whole time. To safe Jake. He was not a monster. She could feel it! She liked him very much. Than she realized that she loves him.

Jake and a group of 30 other dragons from all over the world arrived on the tower after they heared about the kidnapping. The fight was very long. Jake opened her cell, but she just ran away without telling him that she knowed who he was. She ran down one floor where she found a energy-box. She switched off everything. In the darkness the dragons could better see than the huntsclan members and finally defeat them before the top of the building explode.

Jake hold her in his arms and flew her home. She was quiet the whole time. He too. Rose was dead, and it was his fault because she helped him. Jake didn't talked any word with her. He will erease her memory and tomorrow the will go to Rose's funeral. But when he land on the roof of her house, and took the memory-potion she start to talk.

"Jake!"

"How did you called me... I mean... ahhh..."

"Jake, I know that you are that!" she said.

Jake was so shocked that he transformed back into his human form. There he stood with her, alone on the roof.

"I'm so sorry what happend with Rose." she said and hug him.

"And I'm so sorry that I didn't warned you!" he answered and could feel that she was more for him than a good friend...

After the revolution on the Draco's Islands and the end of the stress-regime of the concil, they start to visit the same high-school. And finally they became a couple. Of course she was a very good human-assistant. So the years passed. And after she helped Frederick to join the team Jake's live got easier and easier. And because she had many skills she became the bomb-expert of the team. Next to Spud, the computer and tecnical genius, Trixie the paramedic, and Frederick the supervisor in the office.

Than after the war, she returned to New York. She tried to forget what she saw on the islands. The dead of her friends. But it was all to much for her and the fact that Jake have to stay on the other side of the planet was terrible for her. And Trixie couldn't help her because she had to prevent that her husband, who is in the army, find out the truth above her teenager live. But she had a mission: she had to prepare her little son for his job as American-Dragon!

Than in 2004: the scandale. A teacher bullied black, jewish and not american students. She was an extrem racist. And had a corrupt husband in the police who was a convinced nazi. The people start to demonstrate against the police, the city, the capitalism... against everything. The demonstrations escallated very fast. In New York City was a public war. When the american-dragon tried to help some kids from a burning roof, one of the racists shoot with a rifle on him. At the end the police won. The racists where prisoned, but now the magical-world of New York hadn't a protector again.

Just one year later she heared that scream from her sons room. He transformed during he was sleeping. The next American-Dragon was born! And after Grant moved into thier house... it was perfect. A hidden secret. Than first Phillip, and than her both cousins found out the truth. That with her cousins was her own fault because she didn't locked the door when they visited her family in California. And when Jake arrived just 2 seconds later in Dragon form the chaos was perfect. But that Sal had a son who is a werewolf she also didn't knowed until the moment they met his ex-fiancee in the magical-world who leaved him in February 1995 because the war in the magical-world to safe him.

And her own magical-life. 1984 she won the magical-version of the humans-world Eurovision Song Contest for the Republic of California, as the first human ever and until now the only human who ever won. She was an actress in two magical-world movies and won an magical-golden-globe. And she had her own fasion-line (cheap dresses for womans who don't like to wear pants), like her, she remembered that Jonny said a few days ago to Pedro that he never saw her wearing pants.

FLASHBACK ENDS

And now... she was captured. It was not the first time. But it was the first time, she couldn't escape herself. She looked outside and saw that they drive above a bridge. But she had no clue, where they are, now. She could just see the sun growning up.

Meanwhile, in Jake's world...

"I have it!" the wizard yelled and said something to his Irish friend.

"Ahh... he said that he found out the formula and that he can copy the potion which was used. But he have to reverse the formula so that they don't land in the wrong time." the Irish wizard translated.

"Great, how long do you need?" Lao Shi asked.

At the same time Jonathan was talking with Susan on the phone. "Yes, yes,... my wife want to know how long do you need?"

The wizard answered and the other one translated: "He said, a few hours, maybe more!"
