Whoo, I know in Finding Myself I mention Alex being in Amity, but that was a week or so after her father came to town so, you know haha. Sorry if any of y'all reading that got confused. So, now that school has started, it's going to get busy. Especially now that I'm taking a college class, haha.

Alright, let's get this over with...

Alex's POV

I woke up early the next morning, Fang was sleeping on my chest, curled tightly in a ball. The morning sun blazed overhead, making the sleeping bag hot and sweaty. I carefully grabbed Fang and moved him off me. The wolf pup stared at me sleepily as I got up, stretching out aching muscles and bones.

Birds whistled and sang in the high branches of trees I couldn't name. They flitted from one tree to another, only visible for a moment. Fang barked and growled at a squirell passing in front of us, about ten feet away. It turned towards him and shook his little hand at us before bounding away and crawling up the nearest tree.

"Come on boy," I whistled, holding out both arms and catching the pup. Fang barked happily and licked my face. His tail wagged a mile a minute. I laughed and kissed his nose, making him yip.

I gathered all my things from my little camp-out and stored them in the Spector Speeder. I wasn't far out from New York City, it would only take a little over an hour to get into the city. The question is, how do I find this dragon family when I get there? I suppose it'll be just luck if I do.

Adrian Blackwood's POV

I was doing my regular patrolling when I noticed the girl in the clearing. She looked like she was getting ready to take off. A wolf pup, pure black, barked and yipped at her feet.

I hovered a moment, staring at her. I was hidden amoung clouds, my silver scales being a gift in that moment. But if the girl was to look up, and the sun was to hit me wrong, she'd be able to make out my dark blue wings.

I don't really know what I should do about the strange girl in the woods. Gramps, my trainer, had told me to patrol and report anything unusual. Would a girl with a weird vehicle and a yipping wolf pup count as unusual? Maybe Jake should be checking this out. He knows more about unusual stuff than I do, I've only been training for two weeks.

I pulled out the cell phone I kept on a chain around my neck and dialed Jake Long's number, hoping he'd be up at this hour.

Jake Long's POV

I groaned as my cell phone rang, rolling over in my bed to face it. When I checked the caller-ID, I woke up immediately. It was Adrian, a trainee Gramps had taken in this summer.

"Yeah man?" I answered, yawning to myself. "Hey, can you come out here? I'm on the outer edge of the city." The odd trainee answered, sounding slightly unsure of himself. "Man, dawg, you woke me up to check on something?" I groaned, rolling back and staring at the ceiling. "Well, Gramps said to report anything unusual, let me ask you if seeing a girl about sixteen travelling with a weird vehicle and a wolf pup is unusual." Great, now Adrian was pissed.

"Right, I'll be out there in a few minutes." I hit the end call button and got up, yawning again. Downstairs, I could hear my family eating breakfast. My father, the king of dorks, made some sort of joke and my mother laughed. I heard no sign of Haley though, my bratty younger sister.

I shrugged at that and moved to the bathroom to start a shower.

Alex's POV

Fang stood at the window, staring out at the blue sky as we hovered further into the air. He was content, and excited. The little pup was starting to grow on me. He wagged his tail and turned around to look at me. His cute little blue eyes showed curiousity. I couldn't imagine what he'd look like when he grew up.

A flash of dark blue caught my attention as I made course for New York City. Then a flash of red that didn't belong in the sky passed in front of my windshield. It was here then gone, and I waited another ten minutes before deciding that I imagined the whole thing.

Soo? How'd I do? Adrian is one of my new characters, someone I imagined a while back, and wanted to put him into my stories you know? I've always wanted a wolf :) I wish I had one...sigh...lol
