Chapter 3
Jake's family stood on the roof and looked around. Everywhere fire broken cars and panicly people. All over the city helicopters and planes crashed. Huge fire's in the highest buildings where viewable.
"Are you sure that the magical world is not affected?" Jonathan asked.
"Yes, in a few minutes they will take us here and than out of the city!" Lao Shi explained. "They also take all magical-creatures who live in the humans-world or who lay in the hospitals. They are out of electricity, too!"
"I hope Jake is okay!" Susan said. "He is in Pennsylvania... there is also everything out!"
"And he don't know what's going on... wait look, there there is a giant walking threw the streets!" Jonathan said shocked and pointed on a big person a few streets away.
"O no... now we have a bigger problem!" Fu Dog said before someone behind them start to scream...
Frederick was still laying on the table. The camera in front of him was on, so he thaught they observe him. The big hall, he was laying in, was totally empty instead of him, there where no doors or windows just walls. The camera was still on when Frederick wanted to beat it but he couldn't move...
"Hey, keep cool... that's just a camera!" a voice said.
Frederick couldn't understand him very well. The voice was electronically changed. But he had the felling that he know it.
"What... do you want from me?" Frederick asked angrilly.
"I want from you that..." the person said but another interrupted him.
"Hey... he is my prisoner, he have to do what 'I' want!"
"But I want that he..."
"SHUT UP... And now to you Frederick! How are you?" the other voice asked.
"Is that a bad joke?" Frederick asked back. "Let me go!"
"First you do what I want! And than I let you go! First stand up!"
The ropes around Frederick's legs dissapeared, than he transformed back into a human and stand up.
"Okay... now transform back again!"
"Hey, I'm not your... okay...!" Frederick said and did what the person wanted because he had no chance to say no.
Frederick stood in his werewolf-form in the hall when the wall behind him became blue and than the light's switched off again.
"Thank you, that was everything for the moment!" the person said and the rope around Frederick's legs appeared again.
In a big luxury apartment, a man sat, covered by some towels, in front of a big screen. On the screen he could see Frederick laying on the ground, captured by the silver-rope. On the other side of the room, another (younger) person sat in front of a computer and and downloaded a picutre of Frederick in front of the blue background.
"Just a minute mister!" he said and changed the photo. A few seconds later, the blue background became a playground in a park and in front of Frederick where some screaming children.
"That's perfect! And now make a blood into his mouth, so that the people will think that he already ate one of this children and than print it! Hahahaha... Than you have to drive very long. But be careful, the mashine worked a little... too good."
"What do you mean with that?" the younger one asked and looked on a TV on the table.
The news-channel was from San Francisco and told that almost the whole West-Coast was out of electricity.
"You said it will just affect the town he is in! And not the half of the contry!" the younger one shouted angrilly. "My parents are still in New York!"
"Calm down!" the older one said and drove in his wheelchair closer to the other one. "In a few hours it's over. And they still have a car so they can leave the town if it becomes necessary. That mashine just switch off the electricity. Cars and other important things are not affected." he lied. The older one knowed what really happend and he was proud on himself.
In Los Angeles, Jacob's oldest brother sat with his roommates in front of the TV and enjoyed the show. It was late, the sun was almost gone and outside thier dormitory the other students met and talked. Than the programme was interrupted for a special-report.
"...Ladies and Gentleman, we interrupt the progamme for an important report. The whole west-coast from Maine to North Carolina is out of electricity and communications. It's also reported that all cars and planes in this area are..."
"What," Jacob's brother shouted and turned the TV louder.
"...that there is no contact with local authorities... we also have informations above many plane crashes in this area! Experts says, that..."
"I have to call my family!" he said to himself and took his mobile. But he couldn't arrive someone of his family.
"...What..." the anchorman in the news said and hold a hand on his ear. "... Ladies and Gentleman, we have unconfirmed informations above some 'strange' creatures walking threw Columbus, Ohio... and what... Ladies and Gentleman, our reporter in Columbus could make this photo, showing a big 'monster' or something else carring a hospital bed threw the city centre..."
All in the room where shocked. The photo showed a ogre carring a hospital bed with a young woman on it. The woman was senceless. And all above the street they could see cars and other things burning.
"...we could arrive our reporter in Columbus via satelite... please excuse the bad conection... Paul, what can you say above this picture?"
Than they heared, really bad, the voice of the reporter and than they saw the reporter standing next to the handcuffed ogre who was hold by a group of policemens and other people.
"Hello, LA action news, may we ask you what you are?" the reporter asked, afraid.
"Let me go, she needs help, we have energy for her in our world..." the ogre shouted and fighted with the people who hold him. But they could stop him.
"Which world, what are you talking about? Are you an alien?" the reporter asked.
Jacob's brother changed the channel... now a woman was standing in front of a burning building...
"...the fire-brigade is powerless against all what happens here. After eye-witnesses saw a big passenger-airplane crashing into the building behind me, the fire brigade can't arrive the crash-scene. All cars or other electrical stuff here in Baltimore, Maryland are off. It's a miracle that our camera is working..."
After he saw that he was sure, that something magical happend. He took his keys and wanted to leave the room.
"Where are you go?" one of his roommates asked.
"Home, to my family in Pennsylvania!" he shouted back and opened the door.
"To warn your monster-brother!" the other one said.
Jacob was shocked. Did he said 'monster-brother'? Are they know the secret? He closed the door again and walked back to look into thier eyes.
"What do you know?" he asked before one of them took a silver knife and stabbed it into his stomach. "Ahhhhh...." he shouted before he fall to the ground.
The both boys ran out of the room and ran away. "Don't enter the room! He is a werewolf!" they shouted.
The injuried young man layed with a big wound on the floor. He could hear them. They thaught that he is a werewolf, but why? A few seconds later he could feel that someone carried him away before he became senseless...
Jake flew with Trixie and Spud high above the dark town. They looked around and saw that everything was dark. Instead of a few fires in the landscapes it was all dark.
"Jake, I'm worried!" Trixie said.
"Yes, we are all worried!" Jake answered. "Jacob's blackmailer can wait... we have to find out what happend here! That's not normal!"
Jake flew to the fire which was the closest to them. A few metres away, they recocnized that that was a little plane. A mile away was a second crash-scene, but with a bigger plane. Than they flew above a factory with was also in fire.
"Jake, what if this is the armageddon?" Spud asked.
"That's not the armageddon!" Jake said, but was not sure. "Let's go back to New York and ask gramps!"
"But where is New York?" Trixie asked.
Jake knowed what she mean. Without the lights from the towns or a compass they had no idea where New York was. They had a map, but they couldn't see the ground. Jake land near a big highway. The people leaved thier cars or tried to restart them. They had just a few flashlights and all over where people. Jake land in the wood next to the highway, transformed back and sneaked to the cars.
"Jake, wait! What do you want to say them? I mean... you come out of the woods far away from each other town... they will think you are..." Spud asked.
"I will find a way!... Hello... excuse me! But we are missing one of our friends!" Jake lied to a group of people who shined with a flashlight into his face, "we where camping near Meadowood," he lied again. "And when the blackout came he was on the way to the town... did anyone of you see him? And by the way, where am I?"
The people didn't answered they looked on a map and than on Jake again.
"From where you are, please say it again!" a woman said.
"Meadowood!" Jake answered because that was the town Jacob lived in.
"You lie! Meadowood is 15 miles from here you can't walk this distance in that short time!" a man said angrilly. "What do you really want from us?"
The people where in panic and became paranoid and unpredictable. Jake could see that the people where going to attack him, because they thaught that he want to rob them.
"No, no... I just wanted to know where I am... awww man... Trixie, Spud... run!" he shouted and ran away. The angry mob followed him, and could see how he became a big red dragon when he thaught that he was alone and catching Trixie and Spud.
"Jake, what happend?"
"The people start to become crazy!" Jake answered during he fly higher and higher into the sky.
On the highway, the people where afraid.
"Oh my gosh... a monster kidnapped two children!" a woman shouted and pointed on the little point in the sky.
Jake didn't know where they were. High above the ground he looked down, in the moonlight he could see something what looked like a dam with a big reservoir behind it. On the map, Trixie and Spud could see that they fly to the wrong way.
"Jake, that's the Ashokan-reservoir turn right, or we will land in Connecticut!" Trixie said and Jake turned.
Instead of the fire's, there was nothing. All was quiet. Trixie had to think on her mother. She hoped that she was okay. When they flew above an other crash-side. Trixie recognized the logo of the airline...
"Jake, STOP!" she shouted.
Trixies mom opened her eyes and saw that she was laying in a destroyed cockpit. The first officer was dead and she couldn't hear any other things instead of fire. Her legs where broken and she couldn't move he body, because it was to painful. Than she remembered what happend... everything switched off. No radio, no engines, no lights... she just saw a big empty field in the moon-light. That was her only chance to land. Short time before the landing she pull up the plane, so that they land slower... but than the wheels broke away. She heared an explosion. Than she woke up here...
She looked on a little photo of Trixie and her husband which she had in her pocket and start to cry.
She looked outside and was shocked... when she saw a big flying reptile...
Jake land a few hundred feet's away from the burning wreck. The cockpit ripped away from the rest and was laying in a acre. The rest of the plane explode maybe. Jake just saw fire and debris.
"Trixie wait! What if this is not her plane!" Jake shouted but she didn't listen and ran to the buring wreck. Jake understand her. And was afraid. He wanted to calm down her, when he said that she is okay. But now he was also afraid that, that was really the plane of Trixies mom.
A few survivors where standing under shock far away from the fire under a tree. Jake thaught that that was a miracle if they have really survived the crash. Trixie ran, in her uniform between the survivors to the intact and not burning cockpit. The people thaught, after they saw her in her uniform that she was an fire-fighter.
"Oh my god... please help us!" they shouted.
Trixie didn't listen to them, although they followed her. She looked threw the broken cockpit-window and saw her mother with open eyes sitting in here seat, hardly injured.
"T... tr... Tri...Trixie...?" she stammered.
"MOM!" Trixie shouted and was happy that she was alive. "Wait mom, I will get you out of here, don't fall asleep..."
"Tri... Trixie... since when... you are a fire-... fighter?"
Trixie than remembered that she was wearing her human-supporter uniform. But for now it was more important to help her mother. When Jake and Spud arrived... the other survivors watched to them how they carried Trixies injured mom out of the cockpit.
"Jake, we have to help her!" Trixie said. "Please, we have to help her!"
Jake looked on her and than on her injured mother. They hadn't any other choice. They had to take her with them. Than Jake transformed, took the others and the injured woman (who didn't screamed and just looked on her daughter) and fly away. Seen by around 20 other survivors before the real fire-brigade arrived with a repaired truck...
