Chapter 5: A Day in the Park
Susan came back from the store fifteen minutes later with two pounds of steak for Rose and Jake. Both teens ran up to her and grabbed the steaks, opened them up and sucked them completely dry. Susan and Haley saw this and felt their stomachs go uneasy then they both ran for the bathroom. Everyone knew that having two vampires living with them would take awhile but as long as neither vampire attacked them, they are happy to say the least. As for Jake and Rose, they aren't so happy at least when they think about their gained body.
Both Jake and Rose threw the steaks away and grabbed some jackets with hoods and then headed outside to go for a walk. Rose knows of a good park they could go to so Jake didn't argue and followed her there. It may have been summer but they were cold meaning how they aren't exactly alive anymore, at least for the time being so the jackets were a little extra warmth even if it felt like 60 degrees outside. The whole way to the park, there were people staring at them but the couple didn't pay any attention to it. When they arrived at the park, Jake looked around at the scenery in awe. The park had a place for kids to play and a big pond in the middle of the park with a fountain in the middle of the pond. In the pond were all types of fish swimming around which Jake made a note, not to pay attention to. They both walked over to the pond and sat down on the benches next to the pond. Rose laid her head on Jakes shoulder as they looked into the distance so that they wouldn't see the fish. After a half an hours of sitting on the bench, they both fell asleep forgetting that they never took of their dream charms.
After falling asleep, they found that they were next to each other in one house surrounded by a ton of kids. Both of them had confused faces on even after they realized that they were dreaming. They just shrugged off the fact that there are fifteen kids in one house and started roaming around the downstairs of the house. The more they roamed around the more happy faces they found and eventually they found themselves smiling. Then one child came up to them and jumped up into Roses arms and started explaining how this is her mommy and the other is her daddy and that they were once enemies and everything else. Rose and Jake blushed and then Rose put the child down and the two walked upstairs. When they had walked upstairs, they first room they walked into was theirs, then they roamed around the rest of the house. After exploring, they headed back downstairs and still saw kids walking around and having fun but when they reached the bottom, everything changed. There were dead bodies everywhere covered in blood. Then the vibrations started again and the Dark Dragon came through the wall and into the house. "I don't know how you managed to wake up but no matter. I will make every good dream you have a horrible nightmare." Then he disappeared laughing and then the two woke up with a startle.
"That could have better don't you think?" Jake asked Rose who gave him a look saying, yeah right. "Who am I trying to fool, that was the best it's going to get from here on in." The two looked around to find that nobody is around. Then something moved in the background. Jake tried using his dragon powers to see if he could find what moved without moving but found that they weren't working. "Come on Rose, let's get back to the hotel." Then the two stood up and started out of the park when a person jumped in front of them. The two were shocked to see who it was. "Chang!" Jake said surprised.
"Hello American Dragon, how good to see you again. Enough chat though, the Dark Dragon wants you dead and he knows that there is no way you would bit anyone and without your dragon powers you're helpless to do anything to me." With that said, Chang transformed and attacked. The couple knew she would attack and they were able to dodge it easily. "I will admit, you are very fast but you're still weak." Chang attacked again and again until she finally hit one of the two backward and into the water. Rose yelled to Jake as she ran to him but was blocked by Chang and knocked backward away from Jake. Jake however was able to get up out of the water, grab Chang by the neck and throw her away from Rose. This little battle lasted about three hours before Chang finally gave up and left. Luckily it had gotten dark so the two were able to take off their jackets and head home. They had been at the park the whole day and only had a little time to relax before they had fallen asleep and the fight with Chang.
Once they arrived home, Susan and Jonathan were there with two big steaks. Rose and Jake grabbed the steaks and did exactly what they did before, they sucked them dry. "So you two, did you have a fun day today." Susan asked the two.
"It was just opposite of good; sure it started off good, but then we fell asleep and had a nightmare and to top it off, Chang attacked us after we woke up." Jake explained to his parents.
Then Lao Shi walked into the room. "Good you two are home, I just want to let you know that the cure for you will be finished by tomorrow afternoon. Sleep well tonight you two, you're going to need it." Then Lao Shi walked out of the room. The couple gave each other confused looks but shrugged it off and went to bed excited to be free of this curse once and for all even if they haven't been vampires very long.
