Chapter 13

_____________________________________________________________________

Jake ran back to the door and tried to open it. At the other side, the air was full of dust and ash. He could hear crying and coughing people. Trixie and Spud stoped him.

"Jake you can't go there!" both said.

"And Frederic? Maybe he is injured, or unconscinous. And look outside, he will suffocate in a few minutes!" Jake said. "Yo, guys... he helped me the last hours. Without his help, I had never found that valve. He saved our lifes!"

Kyle looked very confused. He think: Frederic! The most unpopular boy in school. The Spudinskis looked worried, they understand thier situation.

From outside the noise got softer and a few minutes later it was totally quiet. Jake opened the door slowly and could see the disaster. In the foggy town the most buildings collapsed in the shockwave, the rest was hadly damaged. The ash layed around 1 feet high. Everywhere shocked people, debris and destruction. Jake walked above the square to the place he saw Frederic disappearing. He, Trixie, Spud, his parents and Kyle looked everywhere, under debris, in cars but Frederic was nowhere.

After a long while, Jake could see a group of dragons in the foggy air above him.

"GRAMPS!" he yelled. And the dragons landed in front of them.

The Spudinskis and Kyle looked amazed at the group of dragons in front of them. When they landed, the other humans at the island don't react. The most of them couldn't see them threw the dust or where too shocked.

"Jake, is everybody okay? Let's go!" LaoShi said and showed a big woden-box.

"NO!" everybody shouted.

"We can't go now! Frederic is missing!" Jake explained.

"Frederic? Who is that?" Concilour Kulde asked.

"He helped me! He was the bondsman of Pandarus. And he is one of my human classmates."

"Okay, calm down! We will find him!" Kukulkan said and everybody look around.

Jake looked threw the window and saw Frederic, laying in his bed, in his room in the Metropolitan-Hospital in New York. He layed 2 hours under the debris of an collapsed hotel before Omnia found him. He was alive, and immidiately after they found him, they sended everybody back to New York by an special-potion. Jake and LaoShi brought Frederic into the hospital and told everybody that he had an accident.

Meanwhile, the concilours, Trixe and Spud fixed the voices of Kyle and the Spudinskis and deleted thier memorys. Kyle only remembered a perfect third-date and the Spudinskis only that they stayed home and never drove to an island. When they saw the news above the volcano, they only said: Oh that's mad!

Frederic's parents ran into the hospital when Jake waited in the corridor. His grandfather steped out of the doctor's lounge and sat down next to him.

"And?"

"Well, everybody will think that Frederic was hit by an car. The driver had no fault. And that happend in front of our shop. We called the ambulance and that was it." LaoShi explained.

"And the fact that Frederic is full of ash and the scalds?" Jake asked after he remembered it.

"Fortunately, the doctor from the magical-hospital work here. He helped to hide this facts. His parents will never find out the truth."

"And how is Frederic?"

"He is still unconscinous. But he is okay. He can leave the hospital fast. But 'we' should talk with him when he wake up. Or he will start to cry again like in the magical-hospital. Your mother told me what happend thier."

"By the way, where are they?" Jake asked.

"They help the concil with the Spudinskis. They 'explain' them what happend in the last 3 days. They are okay. Everybody got his voice back. Pandarus used a very easy spell. Spud told that Pandarus lose his powers slowly. It will be easy to find him." LaoShi said, stood up and took a coffee from the vending machine. "Do you also want something?"

"No! Not yet! I can't belive that Pandarus could escape." Jake said. "Is there any trace?"

"Nothing, his hideout is just a big heap of ash and debris. A fireball from the volcano hit his construction-side-hideout. And a eye-witness said that the whole area exploded. We don't know: Is he dead, or alive? But when he go back to his high-society-friends we gatch him. His plan never could work, by the way we finally found the perfect place for the new dump!"

"Really! And where?" Jake asked interrested.

"In Tschernobyl!" LaoShi said happily.

"Tschernobyl?"

"Yes, it's the perfect place: It's unpopulated, a restricted area, and there are enough flats for 50 thousand workers."

"Do you mean in the restricted-area. In that ghost-town there, ahhh...Pripjut?" Jake asked.

"No. It's called Pripjat. And, Yes in that area. Magical creatures are almost resistant against human-radioactivity..." during Lao Shi explained Jake everything, Fu Dog appeared in the waiting area and winked. Jake and LaoShi stood up and followed Fu into a phone-cell.

"Something new?"

"Pandarus or the island?" the dog asked.

"Pandarus!" Lao Shi said.

"Nothing. He totally disappeared. Maybe he died in the explotion. And the island: The volcano lost his intensity completelly. The valve worked. Without it, the island had sink totally into the ocean. You saved thousands of lifes, Jake." Fu Dog said and knocked at Jake's shoulder.

"No. It was Frederic!" Jake said. "He is the one who told me everything. He found the valve. They should thank him!" Jake told until the saw the doctor.

"American-Dragon, Mr. Shi, ...hi Fu, When do you pay back me the 10$!" the vampire said when he saw the dog.

"Ahhhh... as fast as possible!!! And how is Frederic?"

"Very well, he woke up after I send his parents to the office, to fill some formulars. He saw me and smiled. You can talk with him! His parents are busy now." the doctor explained and opened the door to Frederic's room.

"Gramps, I should go alone to talk with him! One dragon per day seems enough." Jake said to his grandfather and turned to Fu. "And Fu, I mean you, too. He shouldn't got a hearth-attack."

Jake had to laugh about himself and entered the room. Frederic layed in his bed, looked at Jake and smiled. Jake sat down and start a conversation.

"And how are you?" Jake asked.

"Awww...my head hurts terribly. How fast was the car?" Frederic asked and hold his head.

"Ahhh... what do you mean? Do you remember what happend?" Jake asked confused.

"I was on the street, on the way home. After I met you, and you entered that shop, I woke up here. And that doctor, he talk to me like we met before. Did something happend during I sleep?"

"Ahhhh.... no, nothing! I talk to my grandfather that you are okay. He called the ambulance." Jake said, smile and leaved the room.

"Gramps, he doesn't remember anything!" Jake said him.

Lao Shi was very confused: "Do you say that Frederic saved thousands of lifes, and he don't know it."

"Yes!" Jake said and entered the room again.

Jonathan and Susan entered the hospital and met LaoShi in the corridor.

"And something new in the news?" the old man asked them.

"Well, some people start to go back to the island. The half mountain disappeared. The anchorman said, it's one of the worst disasters ever. But it's a miracle that they could rescue the most people." Jonathan told and look at the door. "And Frederic, is he okay?" Jonathan asked when Jake come out of the room again.

"And?" Susan asked.

"He has no memory. That wall had to hit his head much harder than I first thaught." Jake explained.

"What? He has no memory that dragons exist! But we have a special present for him!" Susan said and pointed at two boys at the other side of the corridor.

"Who are they?" Jake asked.

"That are the human-friends of the Bosnian-Dragon. Frederic talked to them at the phone. When Frederic doesn't remember...."

"We - don't - tell - him - the - truth." one of the boys said with a strange accent.

"Okay!" Jake said and entered the room again. "Frederic, there is someone who want to meet you!"

_____________________________________________________________________

Jake sat in the clean shop on the couch and looked around when Spud and Trixie entred the shop.

"And, how are your parents and Kyle?" Jake asked.

"Well, my parents have a hard headache. But they are okay. Im glad that they don't remember. Fortunately, memory-potions exist." Spud said and also sit down.

"Yeah, Kyle think that we had a great date. He want to meet me again....do you belive that, we will have a fourth date...!" Trixie yelled happily than LaoShi entered.

"Ohhh... yeah,... that's great!" Jake said. 'Awww maan, and again a 2 hours long talk only above Kyle's theeths. And than 3 hours above his hair.' Jake thaught.

"Hey, is this not Frederic with the two boys?" Spud said and pointed at the other streetside.

Jake looked out and saw Frederic walking, on crutches and with a bandage around his head, with the two Bosnian boys and talking.

"Wow! I think Frederic finally found friends." Jake said happily and saw Brad walking in thier way. "Oh no, but there is the evil in person walking!"

_____________________________

Frederic told his new friends about his life when he saw Brad standing in front of him. Brad looked at Frederic's bandages and the crutches and start to sneer above Frederic.

"Wow! What happend with you? Wait, I can't know it, because I never touched you...hahahahah.!" Brad sneered above Frederic who became angrier than ever before.

Frederic liftet the crutch and hit Brad directly on his head. The both boys looked confused on Frederic who said to them in thier language, so that Brad coundn't understand it: "He is the liable for that! He was the driver!" Frederic lied and the both boys helped him with his attack on Brad.

"Ahhh..." Brad shouted and flee when he realized that the boys attacked him. He ran away, shouting and disappeared in the next alleyway followed by the two boys and a limping Frederic. Jake and his friends who saw everything had to laugh.

"Wow! That's better than a movie.!" Trixie said and laugh much more.

____________________________

In the lane, Brad and the other boys ran, someone looked down and look at the injured Frederic. The man in dark clouthes made fists and sound really angry.

"I swear you, we don't met for the last time!" the angry man said and disappeared in the darkness of the room.

THE END

I hope you enjoyed. I wasn't easy to write, but now it's complete. Here are a few notes and last words:

the idea, that Frederic is half Bosnian is just an idea, I need a little way to made Frederic more interresting.

The movie, I told that story is based on it, is not completly like this story, some things are new and other are changed.

The island doesn't exist. It's a brainchild.

Well, that's enough. I hope you enjoyed. Other storys will comming soon. Please review.
