A/N Heya, hope you enjoy this new story!

This one WILL have slash, that's a maleXmale relationship.

Hope you enjoy this chapter, even though it's so short. I felt that if I added anything more, I'd lose something meaningful, so... here it is:

CHAPTER 1.

Why did he feel so tired all of a sudden.

Jake Long, fifteen-going-on-sixteen, looked at his pale face in the mirror and soon turned away.

Why was he so thin? And short... he couldn't forget that.

Jake had always hoped that dragon training would have filled him out a bit – what with all that fighting and physical work he did at his Grandpa's, but it hadn't.

Just another dream that hadn't come true for him. Like Rose.

Jake's face crumpled with a grimace as he remembered how that had ended.

No. He didn't need to dwell on that – especially with how he felt at that moment.

As he crawled into bed, all he could feel was a persistent Ache, he could feel the capital letter, in his joints and muscles.

It was terribly confusing, especially since all he'd had to do that day was school and a simple patrol with Fu, who manned the radio at Grandpa's shop, AKA Head Quarters.

What was also confusing, was the pure heat he felt coursing through his veins. It didn't hurt, but it made him both restless and exhausted. A conflicting combo if any.

But, the idea of going to his Grandpa, Parents, Fu, or even his friends, for help and relief, never entered his mind that night.

And as his eyes drifted shut, seemingly of their own accord, he couldn't help but notice that his sheets had, ever-so-slightly, started smoking.

It seemed he didn't have the power to over-come sleep, even in the midst of a dangerous situation, and soon he knew no more.
