Future Dragon: Rose Long (Season One)

Disclaimer: I don't own American Dragon. I don't own Rose. I don't own Jake. I don't own Rose's parents. You got it? Good.

Chapter/Episode 1: The Calling

Inside the halls of New York's local college, thirty-year old Rose Long stood in the halls, dunking a mop into a bucket of soapy water. Wearing the standard dark blue janitor's uniform, Rose pulled the mop out and put it to the floor, slowly and feebly walking as she started to use it to clean the floor.

Despite being only thirty years of age, Rose looked like she was in her fifties. She had wrinkles on her face and under her eyes. Her hair, which was tied in a pony-tail, had many gray streaks. Overall, she just looked very tired.

As Rose slowly moved down the hall, she was completely unaware that behind her, two figures had stepped up to greet her. "Hi, Rose..." A female voice said.

With a sigh, Rose slowly turned around to see two people she recognized. The first person that she recognized was her sister-in-law's dragon student, Carter Cromwell, a freshman; he was only sixteen years old, but he had graduated from high school two years early. He had grown a little in height, and also a little in muscle. The second person that Rose recognized was a girl, about twenty-two years old. She was fairly short for her age and had short black hair that touched the back of her neck. She wore a Bondi Blue -colored zip-up sweater and a pair of torn jeans that were a little tight for her.

"Hey, Savannah..." Rose greeted. "...Hey, Carter..."

"You're looking worse and worse every day..." Savannah told her sadly.

"I'm sick..." Rose replied.

"Maybe if you cheered up, you'd feel better..." Savannah suggested.

"We've been through this every day, Savannah..." Rose nearly snapped. "...I'm as happy as I'll ever be..."

"I know..." Savannah replied. "...But I can't help but bring it up every day that I see you. You're a dragon..."

"Unfortunately..." Rose said.

"...Aren't dragons supposed to be strong?" Savannah asked. Then, smiling, she put her hands on her hips. "You still want Carter and me to walk you home?"

LINE BREAK

Carter and Savannah were both walking slow as they walked alongside Rose, allowing the slow walking janitor to keep up with them. "We're almost there..." Savannah told her as they continued on, passing by many large buildings that were passed off as houses.

"I know..." Rose replied.

For the rest of the walk, all three of them remained silent. Finally, they arrived at the house that Rose was staying at. "Thanks for walking me home guys..." Rose said in her now regular down tone as she turned her head in both directions to look at both Savannah and Carter.

"It's the least we could do..." Savannah smiled as Rose slowly started to walk toward the stairs. Savannah watched, her smile fading as she watched Rose turn and slowly start to walk up the stairs. Once Rose reached the top of the stairs, she slowly opened the door and stepped inside.

Taking a deep breath, Savannah waited until the door closed behind Rose before she turned around to face Carter. "Do you know what's been going on with her?" She asked. "Her bad mood has been getting worse and worse for the past couple of days..."

"Yeah..." Carter finally spoke. "...It's that time of year again. In a couple of days, it's going to happen again..."

LINE BREAK

Rose slowly walked from the first hall in the house to the family room. Rose saw her twin sister , Daisy, sitting against the couch, her legs pulled up close to her chest as she had pad of paper on her legs; Daisy was currently doodling.

Hearing the sound of the floorboards creaking, Daisy looked up from her paper pad and turned her head to the side, looking at her twin sister. "Oh..." She said. "...You're home..."

"Yeah..." Rose replied as she slowly started to walk further into the room. "...Mind moving so I can lay down?"

"Sure..." Daisy replied, sympathy quickly filling her voice. Daisy took the pad of paper off of her legs and held it in her hands as she got to her feet. Despite having spent months in a magical prison as a teenager, Daisy still looked several years younger than her twin sister, perhaps even a decade younger.

"Thanks..." Rose replied, slowly starting to walk over to the couch. As soon as she reached the couch, she sat down on her knees before she lied down on her belly, slowly rolling over onto her side. "Daisy?"

"Yeah?"

"Where's my son?" Rose asked.

"I'm not entirely sure..." Daisy replied.

"Oh." Rose muttered in reply. "Do you think you could find him for me?"

"Uh, I can try..." Daisy replied. She turned and started to walk out of the room, only to stop as she noticed that both of her parents were entering the room. "...Mom, have you seen Jake Jr.?"

"Oh, he's upstairs watching television..." Rose's Mother said. "...He's quite fond of it. Any reason you want to know?"

"I want to see him..." Rose answered, alerting her presence to her parents.

"Oh, you're home." Rose's Mother smiled. However, her smile soon faded when she saw how pathetic her daughter looked. "You just take it easy, Rose..."

"Can you get Jake?" Rose simply asked.

It took Rose's Mother a few seconds to realize that Rose meant her son. "Okay..." She said. She then turned around and walked out of the room quickly, leaving Daisy and Rose's Father in the room.

Ignoring her father and twin, Rose sighed as she tried her best to relax. However, she soon found to be rather impossible as there was a small poof of light in the room as a messenger fairy appeared right by the couch, holding an envelope. "Message for Rose Long..." It said as Rose slowly pushed herself up into a sitting position.

"Thanks..." She said in a sad tone as she slowly reached out and took the envelope. As the messenger fairy disappeared in the same poof of smoke, Rose ripped the envelope open as a magical mist spilled out, forming into an orb. As soon as the orb stopped forming, Rose could See Jake's smiling face.

"Hey, baby!" He told her. "How's my lady doin'?"

"Lousy..." Rose replied glumly.

As soon as Rose said this, Jake's smile faded and he looked down. "Look, I tried talking to Holly." He said.

"Jake, it's okay..." Rose told him. "...It really doesn't matter..."

Hearing this from his wife, Jake stopped talking and just stared at her for a few seconds, a somewhat sad look on his face. "I just want to help you out, Rose. I love you."

"I love you, too..." Rose answered. "...But it's okay. You don't have to go out of your way. I would like to see you in person, though. I'm sure your son would, too..."

"I'll be there on Thursday." Jake promised her. "There's no way that I'm going to let you go through your illness all by yourself. I'm going to be there. I'm going to be right by your side. I'm going to take care of you..."

"Okay, Jake..." Rose replied, a small smile making its way onto her face.

"I gotta go now, Rose..." Jake then told her, his voice almost a hushed whisper. Then, he disappeared.

"Uh-huh..." Daisy rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms. "...Of course he'll take care of you. Oh, wait! You mean just like how he's taking care of you now?"

"Daisy..." Her father started. "...Don't criticize your sister's choices..."

"Rose, dump him..." Daisy said. "...Get a divorce. You'll be happier..."

"No I won't..." Rose replied, slowly moving her arm over to her face and lifting her head up and moving her arm back so she could use her arm as a pillow. "...Jake just wants to help..."

"Mommy!" Just then, the sound of Jake Jr.'s voice called out, and the next thing Rose knew, her mother had re-entered the room holding the hand of a very small child, three years of age. It was true that Jake Jr. had his father's eyes and it was also true that he had his mother's smile. Rose's mother smiled as she released her grandson's hand, resulting in Jake Jr. running over to his mother's side.

"Hey, baby..." Rose smiled as her toddler son reached her. Her eyes sparkling, Rose slowly reached up and put her hand on his head, where there was a full head of black hair. "...How was your day? Did you have fun?"

As she continued to relish in the company of her young son, Rose couldn't help but realize that her parents and twin sister were still in the room. "Uh..." She said, switching her gaze from her son to the rest of her family. "...You guys can go now..."

"Actually, Rose..." A small smile formed on the face of her mother. "...Your father and I have a surprise for you girls. Daisy, you've been very busy, and Rose, you've been very depressed. So...your father and I made reservations for a fancy restaurant tonight. We wanted to surprise you."

"Ooohhh..." Daisy immediately shook her head. "...Love to, but I can't. I really can't. Like you said, I'm busy..."

"And I'm really tired..." Rose said. "...Sorry..."

"Oh..." Rose's mother seemed rather upset. "...Well, we can always stay home with you..."

"Are you kidding?" Her husband quickly retaliated. "That restaurant cost so much money to just reserve a table. We're going!"

Rose's Mother turned her head to the side as she watched her husband turn and walk out of the room. Sighing, she turned her attention back to her two daughters. "Do you want us to bring you home something?"

LINE BREAK

Rose's Mother sighed again as she sat in the passenger's seat of her husband's 2008 Jeep Liberty. Her husband, as he drove the jeep, which was starting to near an intersection, turned his head to look at his wife. "What's wrong?"

"I'm really worried..." Rose's Mother admitted. "...About Rose..."

"You can't think like that." He told her. "Rose is an adult now. She's perfectly capable of taking care of herself. We've known that for years..."

By this time, their car had reached the stoplight, which was at the red color. Sighing as he stopped the car, Rose's Father listened as his wife started to speak again: "She's so depressed..." She said. "...She's letting her illness get the best of her..." For a moment, Rose's Mother stopped in order to take a deep breath. "...I almost fear that one morning I'm going to wake up and find out that she passed away in the night..."

"Well, you probably will..." Rose's Father replied in a matter-of-fact tone. "...Don't you remember what that Holly girl said last year. Rose-" However, before he could finish his statement, he stopped when he noticed that the light turned from red to green.

Without finishing, Rose's Father took the wheel again as the car started to move across the intersection. "WHOA!" However, just as the car started to move, Rose's Father stepped on the breaks, causing the Jeep to come to a screeching halt as he saw a blur of a figure that was a Redwood color falling from the sky and onto the cement.

"What is that?" Rose's Mother asked, a horrified look on her face.

"I don't know..." Rose's Father responded as he reached over to the door. "...But I'm going to find out..." He then opened the door.

However, before Rose's Father could climb out of the car, the sound of whizzing came toward the Jeep, and just as the door to the driver's side opened completely, an arrow planted itself into the front tire.

In the blink of an eye, a fire erupted at the fletching and quickly went all the way down to the head in a millisecond. The second the fire touched the wheel of the car, the entire car combusted, all before Rose's Father even had the chance to get out.

The resulting explosion threw pedestrians who were on the sidewalks back into the walls of the buildings and caused cars that were coming up from behind the Jeep to be tipped over onto the back wheels before being thrown off of the cement, landing either on the side or on the sunroof several feet away.

Back on the sidewalks, those passerbys that were not seriously injured lifted themselves up and looked at the wreckage, their eyes widening in horror.

BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL

BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW

Back at the house, Rose had managed to fall asleep, while Jake Jr. sat on the floor beside the couch, staring at his mother. However, Rose moaned and slowly opened her eyes as she heard the sound of a loud, repeated ring coming from her side.

Slowly sitting up and turning her head to the side, Rose could see that a communication device that was on the small table next to the couch was ringing. Rose slowly reached over and grabbed it, and once she had it held up to her chest, she pressed the button, which released a holographic image of a man, who was about in his late fifties, wearing what looked like scrubs and an apron.

"Hello..." The man tried to sound cheerful. "...May I ask who I am communicating with?"

"Rose Long..." Rose told him sleepily.

"Yes..." The man replied. "...I think you need to come see me. I have two new arrivals that have been burned to a near crisp. I managed to identify them by their dental records, and I believe them...to be your parents..."

Hearing this, Rose's eyes widened, and she turned her head to the side, shouting at the top of her voice: "DAISY!"

LINE BREAK

At the nearest morgue, the mortician took off the apron as he stood in-between the two steel slabs. Lying on each slab was a body which was covered by a white sheet. The mortician walked over to the rack in the corner of the room and just as he put it on the rack, he heard a knocking at the door.

Turning around, the mortician could see two women. Both of them had blonde hair and blue eyes; they looked like twins. "Come in..." The mortician said, watching as one of the women quickly strode in, while the other one slowly walked inside.

"My sister tells me that you found two bodies..." The faster one said, while the slower one just reached her side. "...That have been identified as our parents..."

"Well, the dental records suggested that..." The mortician said. "...You see, I could not identify them by their looks because...well, because their bodies were burned to a near crisp. Also, it wasn't me that found them..."

"Well, you have them now..." Daisy said. "...Do you mind if I see for myself..."

"Yes, I'd actually prefer if you did..." The mortician said.

"Alright..." Daisy said, then she turned her head to the side and looked at her sister. "...Stay here, Rose..." As Rose nodded, Daisy walked over to the first table and waited for the mortician to arrive by her side. Once he did, he grabbed the white sheet and slowly lifted it up.

Once the sheet was lifted, Daisy peered down, only to have her eyes widen. Daisy's mouth slowly started to open and she made gagging noises before she brought her hand up to her mouth, keeping it there until her gagging noises slowly started to cease. As Daisy tried to calm herself, stepping to the side and turning around to avoid the sight, the mortician lowered the sheet.

"Are..." Daisy tried to ask, slowly turning back around to face the mortician. "...Are you sure that that's my mom or my dad?"

"I identified them as your parents...yes..." the mortician replied. "...If that is not good enough for you, however..." As he said this, he turned and started to walk over to a counter. Once he arrived in front of the counter, he picked up something and then turned around, starting to walk back over to Daisy. In his hands was a license plate to a car. "...Maybe you can identify this..."

He handed the license plate to Daisy, who slowly took it and looked down at the plate, her eyes widening as she read the bent and somewhat burned license plate. "Oh my God..." She muttered. "...It is them..."

As Daisy looked at the license plate, Rose's eyes widened as she heard the sound of panting from not very far away. Slowly turning around, she watched as Jake, her husband, ran into the room, panting. "Rose!" He exclaimed. "I got here as fast as I could! What happened!"

As Jake reached Rose's side, Rose slowly turned back around to see Daisy with wide eyes, the license plate lowered. "Rose..." She said, almost as if in a trance. "...It's really them. They're gone..."

"Wh...What happened?" Jake asked.

"Their car..." The mortician answered. "...Apparently...just...caught fire."

"Say what?!" Jake demanded as he put his hand on Rose's shoulder. "Are you kidding me?! You're not telling me that their car just combusted!"

"It's possible..." The mortician replied. "...It has happened to people. So...why not a car?"

"There could have been an oil leak..." Rose suggested, slowly crossing her arms. "...Or something like that. I...I just don't know..." Slowly looking down, she continued: "...What does it matter anyway? They're gone. That's all that matters..."

LINE BREAK

"Here we are..." Jake sadly said as he landed in dragon form right in front of the steps to Rose and Daisy's house. Daisy had her legs dangling over Jake's side, so she simply slid off and started to walk up the steps to the front door as Rose slowly removed her arms from around Jake's neck and slowly sat up before she slid off his back.

"Thanks, Jake..." Rose replied glumly as she slowly lifted her foot up to start climbing the steps.

"Here..." However, Rose only ended up gasping as Jake put his claws on her slide, standing right behind her. "...Let me help you..." He said gently as he started to flap his wings, lifting his wife off of her feet and flying her up to the top step, where Daisy was standing.

A little surprised, as soon as Jake let her go, she slowly turned around and looked at her husband. "I'm going to be here on Thursday. I promise..."

"I know, Jake..." Rose replied. "...I know you'll be here..."

LINE BREAK

In a very dark room, a large shadowy figure shaped like a dragon sat, a human-shaped shadowy figure stood beside him. The door to the room suddenly opened, letting in a bright light as two more dragon-shaped large figures walked into the room, stopping in front of the sitting dragon.

"You called for us?" One of them asked in a male tone.

"Joel..." The sitting dragon said. "...Cherri..." He addressed the other dragon. "...I called you in here because today, I have witnessed a murder..."

"What does this have to do with us?" The female dragon, Cherri, asked. "Does it have anything to do with the Magical World?"

"Indeed it does..." The sitting dragon replied. "...That is why I need you two to help me..."

"What do you need?" Cherri asked.

"I managed to get a good look of the victim's faces..." The sitting dragon said. "...And I now know that one of their daughters is a dragon. She could be very valuable. I want her..."

BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL

BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW

Daisy was sitting at the kitchen table with her chin in her hand as her elbow was placed on the top of the table, tears rolling down her cheeks. However, she lifted her head up and turned her head in the direction of the doorway when she heard footsteps.

Rose had entered the room, holding Jake Jr.'s hand. "Come on..." Rose told her son as she led him into the room. "...Let's get you some dinner..." Rose then let go of her son's hand and walked over to the refrigerator very slowly. As soon as she reached it, Rose slowly pulled open the door and looked around for something inside for a few moments.

Finally, Rose stepped back, holding a plate with a sandwich. Slowly turning around to face her son, Rose watched as her son's face lit up as he ran over to her, taking the plate from her.

"Rose..." Daisy took this time to speak to her sister. As Rose slowly turned her head to the side, Daisy continued: "...Can you send Junior out for a few minutes. I want to talk to you..."

"Okay..." Rose replied as Daisy sniffled. "...Jake..." She looked down at her son. She then slowly knelt down so that she could look him in the eye. Putting her hands on his shoulders, she said: "...Aunt Daisy and I need to talk about something important. Unfortunately, it doesn't concern you. Remember how I've taught you that it's not a good thing to be nosy?"

"Uh-huh..." Jake Jr. replied.

"Okay then..." Rose replied. "...Then be a good boy and go have your dinner on the couch. If you finish before I come out, I want you to stay on the couch until I come. Okay, sweetie?"

"'Kay."

"That's my boy..." Rose did her best to smile as she slowly started to stand straight up again, slowly putting her hand on her son's head and ruffling his hair.

As soon as Rose slowly pulled her hand away, Jake Jr. quickly turned and ran out of the kitchen. Sighing, Rose slowly turned around and slowly walked over to the table. Slowly pulling up the chair on the opposite side of Daisy, Rose slowly lowered herself into a sitting position with a sigh. "Okay..." She said. "...What?"

Daisy sniffled again before she answered. "We have to make the arrangements..."

"Oh, Daisy..." Rose sighed, rolling her eyes.

"What?"

"I don't care, Daisy..." Rose slowly shook her head. "...I really don't. I have way too much to deal with in my life."

"We need to honor what our parents wanted, Rose." Daisy said.

"Well, you can do that without me..." Rose told her, slowly getting up from her chair.

"Rose, I need your help!" Daisy said, watching as Rose slowly turn around and slowly walk out of the room. "These are our parents, Rose!" Daisy shouted, standing up from her chair. "How can you not care about your own parents?!"

"Because I'm dying, Daisy!" Rose shouted, slowly turning back around to face her twin. "Daisy, look at me. All I have is tomorrow, Daisy. After tomorrow, I'm going to fall ill again. Who knows what's going to happen. I find it very hard to be absolutely devastated when I could be leaving behind my three year old child."

Daisy seemed shocked. "Rose, you don't know that..."

"Yes, Daisy..." Rose replied. "...I do. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to spend some time with my son..."

Rose then slowly turned back around and slowly started to walk out of the kitchen once again.

LINE BREAK

"How much longer until we get there?" A Peridot-colored dragon and a Verdigris-colored dragon were flying in the air. The Peridot dragon had no hair while the Verdigris dragon had short brown hair. Hangin from both of their necks were medallions.

Hearing the Peridot dragon ask her this, she sighed as she looked down at the piece of paper that was in her claws. "We're getting close, Joel..." She told him. "...You don't have to be so impatient..."

"I like to be impatient..." Joel replied, smiling stubbornly at Cherri. "...And I really hope that we down have to drag her heavy dragon hide with us..."

"We just might have to..." Cherri replied.

LINE BREAK

It was pitch black outside and inside the house of Rose's parents, Rose was lying on the couch staring up at the ceiling. Lying on her stomach, wrapped in her arms was Jake Jr. As she continued to stare up at the ceiling, Rose opened her mouth and let out a loud and long yawn.

As soon as Rose finished yawning, she glanced to the side and saw that Jake Jr. was fast asleep, his head rolled to the side so that Rose was looking at the back of his head and the back of his neck. Smiling at the sight of her sleeping child, Rose grunted as she decided to sit up. However, she quickly found that she could not get up with her child lying on top of her.

"Need help?" Came a familiar voice, and the next thing Rose knew, Daisy was standing over her.

"That'd be nice..." Rose said, a small and hopeful smile on her face.

"Hold on..." Daisy said as she bent over, taking Jake Jr. in both her hands as she hoisted him up, stepping back, dangling Jake Jr. in the air, giving Rose the perfect opportunity to slowly sit up. Then as Rose slowly got to her feet, Daisy bent back over and set Jake Jr. back down on the couch.

"He can sleep here for the night..." Daisy said as she stood back up straight again.

LINE BREAK

"Here it is..." Cherri said as she lowered the piece of paper with the instructions on it, revealing the house of Rose's parents. "...This is where she lives..."

"Good..." Joel grinned.

"Now all we have to do is find a way inside..." Cherri said.

"No problem..." Joel's grin only widened. "...Why don't we just go in through the front door?"

"You can't be serious..."

"Of course not!" Joel defended. "I was just kidding. Have a sense of humor..."

"Maybe later..." Cherri shrugged him off. "...Okay, here's what I think we should do. We should split up. We'll both go around each side of the place looking through all of the windows until we either find a safe and quiet way inside or if we see her herself..."

"And what if you find the right window before me?" Joel asked. "How will I know? And what if neither of us find a quiet way in or her?"

"Ugh..." Cherri rolled her eyes at Joel's questions. "...Okay, how's this? You will come around the entire house, right?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, if I find the right window, I'll wait for you..." Cherri impatiently said.

"But what if neither of us find a way in or her?!" Joel asked again, seeming rather impatient himself.

"Then..." Cherri started to say, but she stopped, her cheeks turning red from frustration. "...Then we'll use the front door, okay? Now let's go!"

LINE BREAK

Back inside the house, Rose, who had changed out of her janitor's uniform and had changed into pajamas. She slowly walked into her bedroom and made her way over to her bed. Sighing, Rose slowly sat down on her bed and started to fall back onto her back, completely unaware that just outside her window, Cherri flew up.

LINE BREAK

From outside, Cherri peered into the window, her eyes widening as she saw Rose. "That's her!" Cherri exclaimed to herself. She started to pull up the window, but stopped when she realized that Joel was not there with her.

Sighing, Cherri flew back a few inches and crossed her scaly arms. "Come on..." She moaned to herself.

Finally, she turned her head to the side as she heard the sound of flapping wings. "I couldn't see anything." He told her as he came closer to her.

"Of course you didn't..." Cherri told him. "...Because I did. Take a look..." She pointed at the window just as Joel reached her side.

Looking into the window, Joel's face lit up as he watched as Rose slowly got under the covers of the bed, setting her head down on the pillow.

"Well, let's go in there!" Joel urged, turning his head to the side.

When he only got a nod of confirmation from Cherri, Joel returned his attention back to the window and slid it open. Quickly, the two dragons swooped into the room, landing on the floor. "So, now what do we do?" Joel asked. "How do we get her?"

"She's asleep..." Cherri said as she slowly started to walk over to the bed. "...All we have to do is grab her and leave. It's that simple..."

However, just as Cherri reached Rose's bed, the floorboard beneath her creaked. Cherri gasped in surprise while Rose's eyes snapped open. Rose slowly pushed herself up in her bed as Cherri stepped back in surprise.

From behind Cherri, Joel reacted quickly and started to flap his wings, lifting off of the ground and starting to fly toward Rose, slamming his tail into her before she could react.

Rose shouted as she flew across the room, landing on the floor with a thud. "You're not supposed to hurt her!" Cherri angrily turned around to tell Joel, just as on the opposite side of the room, there was a bright light as Rose transformed into her dragon form.

With a groan, Rose slowly managed to get to her feet. "Who are you?" Rose demanded, slowly holding up her claws to defend herself. "What are you doing here?"

"We don't want a fight..." Cherri told her.

"Yes you do!" Rose said angrily. "That's why you broke in here! Your goal is to attack me! Well, I won't let you!" With a grunt, Rose started to flap her wings, moaning as her slowly moving wings lifted her up off of the ground.

Rose, now in the air, slowly started to fly toward the two intruders in her room. However, as she was weak, her flight was slow, and every now and then, she started to dip toward the floor. However, Rose continued to try, grunting with effort as she continued to fly toward the two dragons.

On the other side of her bed, Joel sighed and rolled his eyes. "Okay, we're obviously not making progress with you..." With a grunt, Joel himself lifted off of the floor and flew over to Rose, slamming his tail into her face.

Rose grunted in pain as she flipped over, falling to the floor, unconscious. Looking down on her, Joel lowered himself to the ground and he started to inspect her entire body, his eyes widening as he reached her right clawed hand, where there was a purple Chinese Dragon mark. His eyes wide, Joel lifted up his left hand, where he looked down at the same Chinese Dragon mark, only it was black instead of purple.

"You idiot!" A hiss from Cherri made Joel lower his hand and turn his head to the side, Cherri reaching him there. "I told you not to hurt her!"

"She's fine..." Joel told her. "...Just unconscious. It was the only way..."

"You rash fool..." Cherri shook her head.

"Yeah, whatever..." Joel shrugged her off as he pointed down at Rose's right hand. "...Look..."

Although annoyed, Cherri looked down at Rose's hand nonetheless. However, when she saw her birthmark, her eyes widened and her annoyed look vanished. "The Huntsclan?" She asked. "Wait, this is the Huntsgirl? The one that destroyed the entire clan? You've got to be kidding me..."

"Well, are we just going to stand here gawking at her?" Joel asked, starting to bend over to grab Rose's arm.

"What are you talking about?" Cherri retorted, also starting to bend over. "You're the one that brought up the mark..."

Within a few seconds, both Joel and Cherri grunted as they stood back up, turning around as they each held onto one of Rose's arms. "Alright..." Cherri said. "...Let's go. Thanks to you, this is going to be a lot more difficult..."

LINE BREAK

With the window wide open, both Cherri and Joel managed to keep hold of the unconscious dragon Rose as they flew out of the window, flying into the night.
