The curse called Writer's Block has forced me to put Dreambending on hiatus, while I work on the sequel to The Two Kinds of Halfas, this fanfic, The Return of the Huntsclan.
The sequel to this fanfic will be a Ben10-AD:JL crossover, and called The UFD: Unidentified Flying Dragon.
I don't own AD:JL.
Please R&R, and don't forget to enjoy!
The Return of the Huntsclan
In NYC-
Emma somehow got back to sleep. Just how, she didn't know. And the red mark on her armburned as every hour passed, and more of it was revealed.
In the morning-
Emma glanced at her arm and almost fainted in shock. A red dragon head was there. It was as though her birthmark was revealing itself again. She looked at her open closet and smiled with relief. A long-sleeved lavender sweater was hanging up. She rushed over to it.
"Ah, cashmere." It was her favorite sweater. She pulled it on and got ready, running a comb once or twice through her long black and lavender hair. Then she raced out into the hallway, where she collided with her twin brother, Jake.
"Jake!"
"Emma!" Emma stood and helped her brother up.
"Why does twin telepathy work at the worst of times and never at the best of times?" she asked her twin as they headed down the staircase together.
"I don't know. But who's Ben Tennyson?" Emma shoved him playfully, her face turning red and clashing magnificently with her black/lavender hair. She had been thinking about Ben last night. He was cute. (A/N I don't own Ben 10. Oh, and that's Emma's opinion, not mine)
"Really, bro." Jake laughed as they descended the last step.
"SURPRISE!" Emma jumped backward and almost dragoned up with shock. Jake looked at her oddly.
"Really? This is just a… Well a tradition that-"
"That we welcome the birthday kid on their birthday when they come downstairs with a loud surprise!" Haley, Emma's illegally cute little sister interrupted.
"Oh. Right. Well, they didn't do that kind of thing at the Huntsclan." Emma was also slightly jumpy, due to her dragon birthmark revealing itself little by little.
"You were part of the Huntsclan?" an unfamiliar voice asked. Emma spun around. Standing in the doorway was a scrawny looking kid.
"Who are you, anyway?" he continued. Emma was flabbergasted. What was she supposed to do? Luckily Jake stepped in and saved her.
"She's my twin sis, Greggy." (A/N I decided to add Greggy in because his one or two lines play an important part in this story, but this will probably be his only appearance because I don't really like him)
"You don't have a twin sister!"
"Yes, I do."
"No you don't."
"Yes, I do."
"Boys, stop fighting." Susan had interrupted.
"This is Emma's first birthday party, and I want it to turn out nicely, with minimal fighting, okay?" Emma was relieved that her mom had stepped in. Thank goodness. She wasn't sure what to think of Greggy, but it was obvious he didn't trust her. Not good.
Later that day-
Emma and the rest of her family said goodbye to Greggy and his family.
"Okay, Emma. Now it's time for a special present," Susan said to her fourteen year old daughter.
If this was a cartoon, there would be a "?" above my head right now, Emma thought to herself. Susan brought forward a small box.
"Go on, open it," she encouraged when Emma hesitated. So Emma tenderly took off the wrapping. She gasped at the sight of the charm bracelet. There it lay, in all its glory. It was beautiful. A delicate chain of gold, with some charms already on it. Her eyes teared up.
"Thanks, mom." Her old charms were already on, plus some new ones. Emma picked up the bracelet and hugged it to her chest.
"Here, let me help you put it on," Susan said and put it on for her daughter. Then she stepped away with an odd look on her face.
"Emma? What's that on your hand?"
"What?" Emma looked at the hand in question. Her birthmark. What was going on? Then there was a loud pounding at the door. Jonathan ran to answer it.
"Greggy's gone," Aunt Kathy said tearfully. We were flying home, and then he just disappeared with a poof." They all looked at Emma, who grabbed on of the charms on her new bracelet.
"Why are you looking at me? I didn't do it!" Then Jake stepped forward and grabbed her arm. He pulled her sweater's sleeve down, revealing her horrid birthmark in all its awful glory.
"What's this, Emma?" he asked angrily. Emma was aghast. What had happened? Why was her entire family acting possessed? They trusted her, right? Whatever it was, she had to get out of there, now. She rubbed the charm she had been holding between her thumb and forefinger then disappeared with a small pop!
She reappeared in Central Park.
"Dragon Up!" She then flew away. She needed time to gather her thoughts. What had happened to her family?
This is just a sort of intro. The other chapters will be longer, I promise!
Also, this intro is going to play a vital role in the sequel to this fanfic!
