Chapter 2

(AN: I've been having technical difficulties so no flames please. And I'm still open to suggestions if anyone cares!)

Okay, now I KNEW we were in trouble. Not only had my best friend been dragged into this, but my sister too! The door to our holding cell slid open and the same man who had taken me here stood in the doorway. "In." he said, holding a rather large cage out for me. I glanced at John, who just shrugged, "Better you than me." I could have SLUGGED him. "Get in or I will shoot your friend and your sister's fingers off one by one, "he said, looking rather frustrated at my hesitation. I reluctantly got into the cage. Half dragging me, he put on top a golfcart- like vehicle. As we sped down the hallways we passed cages filled with dragons of all shapes and sizes, all with surgical scars. The dragons were either banging their cages or sulking quietly in a corner. I could have cried when I saw the limp body of a black dragon (AN: Anybody know who it is? Hint: TOOTHLESS!) not unlike me when I was transformed. The man seemed to sense my distress when he heard me cry out in shock when I passed the still dragon. "That dragon is not dead, it has only been sedated." He said. "Why are you doing this to them? What have they done to you?" I said. "They are a threat," he replied dully "and threats must be dealt with." I was shocked to say the least; he had issued a death threat so casually to a dangerous looking, yet innocent animal. Slowly, my fear and empathy for the dragons drained out, leaving boiling fury. Suddenly, I felt my body begin to change. Wings began sprout from my back and silver dollar sized scales erupted all over my body. I had become a dragon, and right in front of a scientist. "Very interesting, you will have to meet the other hybrids." Others like me? This was going to be very interesting. "I will put you in a cage with the others," my captor said as we neared a door "Try not to get killed." As he slid my cage off the cart, he put my cage against a smaller metal door and flipped a switch on the side of my cage. All of a sudden the far side of my cage began moving forward against the metal wires of my cage. Acting quickly the man flicked a switch on the door and the wires fell to the ground. When the door finally opened and I had been pushed through the door, snarling all the way, I found myself in an open area. There was no sky, just a large metal dome, obviously so I and the other hybrids couldn't escape. Except for the metal dome, this place could have easily been a forest in Canada somewhere. "Hey guys, I think the lab coats dropped another one of us off!" a voice shouted. Rolling onto my side I saw a girl, not much younger than me, looking at me with wide eyes. I don't what got a hold of me, I just decided to make a break for it. Bounding through the trees, tail flying behind I ran to the edge of forest only to meet a metal wall. "HEY, Sherlock we all want out to," the girl replied from behind me, "So calm down okay." I slowly turned around hoping it wasn't a trick. She took a step closer, to close. I snarled at her, hoping she didn't know I wouldn't hurt her. She stopped in her tracks and smirked "I'll wait here as long as I need, you aren't going anywhere" she said "And, besides, I could use the company." I just growled. "I'll bet they are going to send us to a zoo in a couple weeks." What was she talking about? They weren't going to send us to any zoo, we were freaks of nature to them, not kids with their own dreams and feelings. "I know," she said, seeing my skeptical look, "I would just prefer it over just having other dragons like you and me." I sighed, this was going to be a very long, not to mention one sided conversation, if I didn't change back into a human. Slowly, my body shrank and my wings started to disappear, the girl just raised an eyebrow. I was wearing a hoody about three sizes to big and jeans so baggy that I had to roll the waistband back about three times back. "What?" I demanded "When did you get here and why are you bothering me?" The girl just looked at me strangely, "You didn't change all the way back." I really hoped she was joking but with one look at my reflection in the polished metal plates of the wall behind me, I saw my problem. My scales hadn't disappeared and my eyes were still their dragon green coloring. "This is not good. When the lab coats see you, we are all in trouble." I couldn't help but wonder where the others were. "Who else is there?" Immediately she stuck out her hand and said "I'm Gretchen." I shook her hand, "Jordan, Jordan Falls." She looked at me strangely "Okay, Mr. James Bond." I groaned, this was going to take awhile.
