Three months.To anyone it's the bulk of a fun summer.For me it was the endless void of abyss.

Remember when I told you I found out who Rose was,that was pretty hard to stomach but in the back of my mind I knew it was possible.But this was totally unexpected,unplanned for.And to me,uncalled for.She saved my life and just packed up and left with no clue of where she was.

I felt somewhat betrayed by the fact that she didn't give me anything to go on but our first and only picture together.Then I remembered my suspicions from the hunt.The Huntsman was very possibly forcing this on Rose to the point where she couldn't say no and what would stop a cold dude like that from holding her hostage?Maybe he had forced the truth out of her for not slaying my dragon tail back in the forest.To both my worry and disappointment,she had decided to go.

Yep.Just get up and go off like doing something as natural as breathing.Rose had been at my school all semester and now she was gone.What I felt all the time was a sort of fleeting hope that she would reach me somehow and that's where you could say my obsessions went too far.

My life turned more drastic and desperate each day.I acted on idea and impulse,yet there was one thing clear as day in my mind...Rose needed me.She wouldn't of spared me,go against all those expectations and risk getting into tremendous trouble if our relationship hadn't mattered to her enough.But eventually my sparks of hope were growing dimmer and dimmer with each day.

Every second,every minute,every hour,every...well,I think you get the idea anyway.

Until Fu introduced me to a little thing called Krylock venom and then what went through me at the time he told me this stuff could help me find Rose can be summed up in one word:joy.When that whole thing backfired,I totally gave up.It just seemed pointless,all so completely stupid.My life was going downhill anyway,so why fight it?Why don't we skip on ahead to the portal part.

For the first time my mind had been completely unfocused on Rose and on my dragon duties,it was game-time and the Am Drag was back.It's funny how things happen when you least expect them to or aren't thinking about them.But there she was,dressed down in her Hunts outfit but the feeling I felt wasn't happiness.Real bizarre but true.I felt caught in the middle.There was that question again,that you can only have things one way.Do I go fulfill my wants or other's needs?

But I made the right choice in my mind,even if my heart felt trampled on.I'll never forget the way she looked at me though.She wanted me to step through there,she wanted to talk.The dream meeting didn't cut it but out of the blue I was left with hope.She wanted to get in contact with me and even though I still didn't know how she could be doing it,I made sure to sleep longer.

And I mean,an extra three to four hours worth for a week or so.

The time finally came to go undercover to the Huntsclan Academy.I knew that Rose being there was likely since she was a big link to the head honcho but I didn't voice it to Spud until the night we set out to retrieve more data on the top secret doomsday plot.Somehow having my dreams becoming a reality of seeing Rose again outside dreams and portals made me consider leaving.

Seeing her go all Huntsgirl on me during Dragon 101 was unnerving and made me want to bail.

Yeah,that was pretty short lived when Rose found us but feeling her body next to mine was the greatest thing I could of hoped at our next meeting.There was only two things I wanted from her now.One,to help us get the plans.Two,for her to be with me and away from this awful lifestyle.

After going through a rough dose of it,I didn't want the full serving.I wanted to get the info,get Rose to bail on the Huntsclan and go home.But she only met me half way.That wasn't going to stop me.Once I felt gettin' what we needed to know was in our immediate future,mission two was hard pressed into me.Make it up to Rose for not telling her sooner who I was and sparing me at both our risk by convincing her to come with us and being together just to be together.

My luck didn't hold out and I was sentenced to a slaying.I didn't give up altogether.On my own selfish feelings,yes..I know I was going out and I was going out with making a real name for myself.Not just some title the 'American Dragon',I was going to give Rose and all magical beings the best gift I could give...myself.By giving my life up,I was giving everyone a fighting chance.

Rose aruged,of course.But I knew this was it.If it was me or her,this time,it was going to be me.

At the time I was so absorbed with everyone else I couldn't even visualise the concept of dying and never coming back again and even when I was given a thin chance at living,I didn't dwell on it long enough to even begin to appreciate it.My mind was set and my mission inevitable,pull off a convincing act and try to free us both.That was the most serious I could ever remember being.

Well,that I remember.The only other thing I really remember was the kiss.It was like gigantic waves clashing together,two great and horrible experiences bunched into one unforgetting time that made me know for sure,we were in love.Oh god,did I feel in love with her in that moment.

No dream lathered gushiness.Straight out compassion.But when her lips left mine,the dream feel came back.It wasn't good but it wasn't nightmarish either.I was fighting Thorn the Huntsgirl like I always had but it was just like I was in a haze about the whole thing.My seriousness had been drained by the kiss and my mission was foggy.I really just flung fire balls,got hit and took a dive.

Hmm.Well,in this case it's sort of pun intended.I half dived,half fell when Rose hit me and I don't even remember taking the potion;I just blacked out.The next thing I knew I was lying on a cold metal table with an excited Spud and an oddly calm Rose to greet me.She didn't waste even a second to give me much detail,and me still finding it hard to believe we actually succeded with it.

So basically while I was still playing guessing games about how long I'd been out and what all had happened,Rose took the lead like she pretty much had been doing since we got here and in the time it took me to realise I was on my way home without the needed info,it was far too late.

I remember she gave me this sort of vague look,it wasn't like when she was in the Huntclan full time but it wasn't exactly a sign she wanted to get together in the future.It also wasn't flat out rejection,no.She hadn't said it but then again I figured she was probably a little in awe herself.All the time I was there pretty much,Rose was all business and I didn't blame her.I nearly was too.

But still she made me wonder.That was the thing about Rose,she always made you wonder...

Well,let's just say my supposed 'rejection' didn't last long.Because the next thing I knew I heard a familiar voice and this familiar voice belonged to the one and only,you guessed it,Rose.There she was and the one thing that was even greater then hearing her,was seeing her and that smile.

That was the first thing I noticed,was that beautiful smile of hers.

I'll be sure to unravel our great Aztec Skull plot in my next log...as well as the conclusion.It has not been easy to tell you all of this.In fact,there were times it would've been impossible.But I'm going to continue and finish my story.So hold tight,I'm just getting warmed up.No pun intended.

But you know,being a dragon and all it's sometimes hard to tell.
