Chapter 3

Ice silhouettes known as snow flakes gently fell to the ground said to be called snow. A small log house rested on the soft snow as new flakes formed. Along with the house stood a tree with dark green spikes forming out of its trunk. The winds around the house began to shake violently which would cause fear and havoc. As Fu shook the snow glob around Loa Shi searched around a magical shop for a special item.

"Hey, Gramps, shouldn't we get back to Jake and that wizard?" Gramps choose to ignore Fu dog and continue his search for the item he was looking for. The elder dragon picked up an item occasionally then placed it back to continue the search in the store.

"What are we even looking for anyway? I can't even get a signal in here." Fu said looking at his blue cell phone.

"Whoops, one missed call." Fu said pressing a button then putting the phone up to his flopped over, grey ear. 'Yo, Fu, pick up the phone already we need you and Gramps back, later'

"Uh, Gramps, Jake says he needs us we be- he started but spotted a poodle. "We gotta be staying here a few minutes longer." Fu said gawking at the poodle and beginning to approach her.

Jake sighed. "Come on Fu." He said leaning back on the couch.

Nigel leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets. "Not much apprentices can do by themselves eh Long?" Nigel asked jokingly.

Jake let out a small chuckle. "Tell me about it. I constantly get in trouble at school and home with dragon training."

Nigel gave him a questionable look. "Your parents don't know about your powers?"

Jake couldn't help but let out a small laugh. "My dad is totally oblivious to the magical world."

Jake sighed. "You have know idea how many times I get grounded a week."

"Fu!" Gramps yelled in frustration as the talking dog tried to hit on the young light brown poodle.

"Just a minute my lovely ado!" Fu called to the poodle walking over to Gramps.

"What's ups Gramps I'm kinda busy here." Fu said looking back then mouth dropping when the poodle was gone.

"We do not have time for this Fu! We need to get back to Jake!" The old man yelled.

"What are we even here for?" Fu asked not even knowing to purpose for their being there.

"We are here to find a potion." The old man said calmly.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Fu asked raising an eyebrow.

"Because I thought you would like an adventure." Gramps said completely lying looking down.

Fu raised an eye brow but decided to ignore the old man's comment.

"Well whatever we're here for Gramps, it better be quick we nee- Fu started but spotted the same poodle again.

Gramps picked up a small bottle that rested on the floor of the small store. He held the bottle to the old light that lit up the small store.

He walked over to an old women with a green pigment and several moles in random places on her face. Her golden eyes glared into the old man and grabbed the bottle. "I'll give it to you for five bucks ya got that old man?" She huffed in a roughed tone voice. "But first," She continued. "I'll need some identification on your magical placement, my granddaughter told me some idiotic human tried to buy a bracelet here so I have to keep a more watchful eye on human appearances ya got that?"

A smirked curled into the old man's lips. "I am the Chinese dragon." He answered showed her his dark blue shaded scales covering his left hand down his arm. Black blades said to be claws rested on the tips of his paws.

"Fair enough." She gruffed back. Gramps handed her the money and grabbed the bottle. The green liquid inside it swished around the bottle awaiting to be opened.

"Come Fu." He called walking out of the small store.

Fu followed and they left the magical market.

A tall man in a black coat rested against a tall structure. He eyed gramps and Fu. A smirked curled into his cold, pale lips. He whisked his slick tongue around his razor tipped fangs. "Dragon blood." He whispered under his breath between a breeze as it wove threw his black, partially red tainted hair from the pelt of dragon blood. He backed up and disappeared into the shadows of the streets. A trickle of a blackish crimson fell from his jacket.

"Now that I have the Australian dragon dead and slain, the elder dragon should be no trouble."

Jake felt a strong feeling in his stomach which he hated. He'd never felt this before. He gripped the end of his shirt in a slight pain. A wisp of anger swooned inside him. Something was wrong. "I have a terrible feeling." Jake let out softly.

Nigel turned to him with a slight concern look mixed with a touch of confusion. He looked up then away from Jake. "I should've been more careful, I don't know how Rotwood did what he did but-" He stopped and looked down at his hand. He formed it into a fist. "I plan to find out."

'I don't think it's about that.' Jake thought. 'It feels like something else.' Jake looked away and towards the floor. 'Someone's dead.' He thought swiftly. He shocked himself slightly. 'I can somehow feel it and know it.' He thought trying to figure himself out. Unknowing to him, Loa Shi started to have the same feeling in the pit of his stomach, yet he understood it very well.

He stopped from his short walking pace. "Fu." He said softly.

"What is it Gramps?" Fu asked as he stopped as well.

"A young dragon was recently slain." He commented. His voice was low and concerning. His eyes darkened. 'Jake's age none the less.' He thought. He curled his fingers into one fist.

"They're back." He said coldly.

His eyes widened. "We need to get to Jake now!" A blue flame surrounded the old man's body. He grew in length and morphed into his true form, as the Chinese dragon.

Fu jumped onto his back and the dark blue dragon took off. The scales down his chest and stomach were slightly baggy as his age went on. He glazed threw the air currents and formed back into the appearance of a human as he landed in front of the electronic shop. They rushed in hastily and went into the back. The 'closed' sign still hung around a small string on the front door.

Jake and Nigel both turned at the site of the dragon master and the walking dog. "Yo, Fu, Gramps, what took ya?" Jake asked from his position leaning up from against the wall.

"Jake, we need to get you out of here." Fu commented looking up to the young dragon.

"Yo, Fu, don't forget about Rotwood, we need to get those pictures from him or the magical world will be exposed to the public." Jake argued. "And besides, what do I need to get out of here for any way, yo, I can handle myself against Rotwood." He protested.

"Yeah, but you don't know the full situation kid. Remember those vampires that drink dragon blood you defeated?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, there's a new creature similar to them but lets just say the dark dragon would have easy reason to even fear these dragon slayers. They believe dragons are nothing but demons." Fu answered coldly.

Jake had a blank expression. "What?! I save magical creatures! Why would he think dragons are demons?!" Jake asked with a sudden rage.

"Well what would you think of a large creature thought by humans to be vicious and heartless? I believe I know what creature they're talking about." Nigel commented. "They're a mix of a human, wizard, and vampire along with their hatred of dragons." He continued.

"Nigel is correct." Gramps said walking over to Jake. "Jake, this creature is a threat to all dragons, we must evacuate immediately."

Something snapped in Jake's head. "Hold up Gramps, there was something I had to do after school that I'm sure was important." Then it hit him. "Gramps I have to go somewhere I'll be right back." Jake commented the rushed out the door.

"No wait Jake!" Gramps yelled. Jake consumed himself in flames then showed his scaled form. He flapped his wings and soared threw the air. He headed a different directions than he was used to. He flexed out his wings and glided down softly. Flames engulfed him once more as he returned to his human state.

He walked over to the café's glass doors and opened them. The small bell rang once again and the young yet tall elf walked over to him. Her eyes widened with joy. "Y-you came!" She rejoiced. But, Jake noticed something different on her shirt, a red stain was barely present and he could tell she obviously tried to cover it. A bruise was also present on her frail neck.

"What happened to you?" He asked with the whiff of blood present.

She looked away. "I fell in the kitchen and some things happened after I fell that's all." She lied.

"Well, here's the money." He commented handing her sixteen dollars along with the tip. "Should I see your boss or something?" Jake asked as she grabbed the money.

"H-hai." She answered.

"Uh?" He asked raising and eyebrow.

"Yes." She corrected catching her mistake in language. She pointed to a door near the back of the restaurant.

"His office is back there." Jake nodded and went to the back.

He opened the door to find the smell of alcohol enter into his nostrils. He covered his nose with his hand and saw the man with a glass bottle in his hand in a desk. Jake winced slightly as the smell of blood once again entered into him.

"I'm here." He said loudly so he wouldn't have to repeat himself.

The manager looked up with a smirk curled into his lips. "So you came huh? Well I guess that means just more fun for me." He said wickedly.

Jake raised an eye brow. "Have you been hurting her?" Jake asked referring to the elf.

"Now why- he started then hiccupped- would you say that? She didn't tell you anything did she?" The man asked. His voice was wavy and was obvious that he was drunk.

"No, but she's hurt. You really should treat her better." Jake warned.

"Well she doesn't do well in work so she gets what's coming. The more she talks about her brother or spaces out the more she'll get punished." He said with a smirk. "Now get out." The man ordered.

Jake's teeth clenched together. "I'm the protector of the magical world and I won't let you do that." Jake threatened and unknowing to him, his fist, teeth, and tongue were in his dragon form.

The man stood up and shook a bit. He swayed as he walked and fell against the wall with the bottle still in his hand. He lifted it and pressed it against his lips. Alcohol trickled down his cold lips as he did so. He raised the bottle and struck it at Jake. The young dragon quickly raised his arms over his head ready to embrace the impact. Glass gashed into his now dragon skin as blood fell to the floor.

The man quickly grabbed Jake's jacket as the pain surged threw the young boy. He ripped it off his body and threw it to the ground. "Hmm its much funner doing this to the girl, but you'll have to do." He said and embraced his fist to Jake's cheek.

Jake let out a small cry then was ready to fight back. "Drago- He started but The man pinned him against the wall and began constantly beating him in the stomach.

Jake's eyes widened and crimson was stained across his white t-shirt. "Dragon up!" Jake finished pulling together all his strength. He dug his claws into the man's chest then kicked his with his scaled foot. Blood trickled down his face and chest and stained onto the floor. "T-take this yo." He yelled and blew crimson flames from the tip of his lips.

The manager hollered in pain then ran towards Jake. Jake caught the man's fist with his claws and pushed the man back.

The young elf busted threw the door a few minutes later to find Jake now in his human form in a small pool of blood and her boss leaning against a wall with a new bottle of alcohol. The glass was half empty. "You- hiccup- want to have a go?" He asked then she screamed as he collapsed.

She rushed over to Jake and noticed his cell phone. She wasn't sure who to call though. Magical creatures wouldn't call the police, but Jake's for help. Then it hit her. She looked threw the list of numbers and found Jake's grandpa.

"Jake?" A voice questioned.

"Help!! Jake's in trouble you need to come to the new café now!! He's dying!" She screamed with tears streaming down her face. She hung up the phone and picked up Jake. She sat down and rested his head on her lap. She wove her fingers threw his hair. "Don't end up like onii-chan." She cried as a tear fell onto the young dragon's head.
