The Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 2

This is jake burns again, now 28 years old, unemployed, and still working for my parents small convenience store. And i am here once again, early in the morning an at the rooftop, practicing my martial arts. Well, i only have a green belt in the past, though doesnt mean i cant incorporate the basics into my own style. And i also have practiced learning from anime, some martial arts concepts and some weapons basics just using arnis sticks. So, here is the rest of my story which i should not tell, and will unfold other than using my own words.

That night, when jake was asleep, he keeps on dreaming of the death gid and some clips of what seems to be a battle.

"Whoa!" Jake said as he suddenly wakes up

He was now in his room where daylight struck his face

Jake said to himself as he rubs his temple, "Again with the dream, i have been having these dreams in about 5 days now. Hahh.."

He then sets aside the thought and goes towards the rooftop again early in the morning, to train in martial arts and in some basic weapons practice, using his own style. Then at the afternoon, he received information of a certain event.

*cellphone ringing*

Emma, jakes mother, answered, "Hello joy"

Emma was at their small convenience store when the call was made.

"Hello mom, i think i need you right now." Joy said with tears

"Whats wrong dear? Is anything the matter?"

"Everything matters mom! I dont know what to do about this!"

"Please tell me what happened."

"I can hear them!"

"Who can you hear joy?"

"Voices inside my head! As if they are speaking to me! I dont know mom, im scared."

"Dont be afraid dear, just where are you now?"

"Im currently at my room mom, i dont know why but i can clearly hear them! Saying that im the virgin mary or something!"

"Dont worry dear, i will be there in cebu by tomorrow. Can you stay strong and sleep there for now?"

"I can try, though i dont know if i can hold on to my sanity if this--"

Emma cuts her off, "just go to your aunts place for now, ok? So that you can have company."

"Ok mom. I will go to our aunts place."

"Yes, please do. I will be there by tomorrow, and real quick. Please hang on before i get there, ok?"

"Ok mom." Joy said before they cut the line

"Mom, whats the matter?" Jake said as he just finished attending to a customer

Emma answered, "Jake, its your sister. Something has happened to her."

"What?! What happened?!" Jake said

"She said she can hear things in her mind, just like you did before."

"Damn it! Its them, and i know it."

"Jake, you really think that its what you really think it is? When the doctor said that you have a slight schizophremia?"

Jake answered, "Well, i cant say that im sure, but i can feel that i am." He said with confidence

"Anyways, i will get your father, please stay here and tend to the store while we get tickets to cebu. Got it?"

Jake answered, "Yes mom, i will."

Emma then goes upstairs to their house, where she wakes her husband, so that she can explain to him what happened and make him buy tickets to cebu.
