Nina POV

Nina laughed as she twisted and twirled though the air, dodging the various missiles and rockets launched at her from what she assumed was a mechanical hunter of some sort. Sulker, Stalker, or something like that was his name, spouting nonsense about being the 'Ghost Zone's greatest hunter'. It was fun to see him become flustered and frustrated when he couldn't hit her.

She lunged forward at him, purposely flying close to him so that the turbulence off her wings would send him reeling. Then she flew off towards a wooded area that looked like a park. A fanged grin appeared on her face as she planned another move in the game of Cat and Mouse. Only she wasn't the mouse. She flew down low, almost brushing the tree tops. As she pulled her wings in to get optimal speed, she glanced backwards to see not one, but two black dots racing toward her. If she hadn't been flying, her shoulders would have risen into a small shrug. What was one more player to the game? Ducking into the trees, she feigned fear, as if trying to give them the slip, and with her excellent hearing, she heard them fall for it, hook, line and sinker.

Danny watched as the dragon made the suicidal move of falling below the tree line. Not even he could dodge that many trees without flickering in and out of intangibility. Skulker chased after it, flying through the brush to catch up. Danny caught glimpses of white through the trees and decided to follow. He was astounded to see that the dragon, not only was it still alive, but also laughing as it ducked, twisted, and rolled in between the bottom tree branches and the ground. Even with the dodging, she was a good 20 feet ahead of him and Skulker. Skulker was angrier than ever. His prey wasn't trembling in fear, instead it was laughing at him like he was some plaything. He growled and blasted a tree in front his quarry. He grew even angrier when she simply blasted the falling timber with a fireball so intense, it turned the air around it to plasma, much like electricity did. Nina laughed and threw a childish "Nah nah nah boo boo!" his way. Skulker blasted every tree in front of his quarry, hoping to catch her off guard. In that moment, Nina threw her wings out, flying upwards on momentum, then corkscrewed to change direction and plunged right at Skulker. A rumble that was his only warning sounded, before the dragon let out a ball of supercharged, extremely hot fire. The fireball hit Skulker square on the chest and its heat welded most, if not all, of the mechanical parts in his suit together. The white terror landed in front of where he laid, and smirked, a mischievous fire burning in its eyes.

"That's what you get for cheating." She said with a smile, and not a second later, a blue light enveloped the ghost, sucking him into what appeared to be a modified thermos of some kind. The curiosity that was most likely going to get her killed one day surfaced and pondered on its inner workings but then was pushed away. She could wonder about it some other time.

Danny Phantom touched down soon after and got his first good look at her. She wasn't extremely tall, his head was probably even with her shoulder. Her wings were large and powerful, not narrow but not wide either. Long legs on black clawed paws were toned, and the neck, accentuated with dark blue scales running along her spine, were slender and aerodynamic. Her tail was long and tipped in a set of blue tail fins, which was twitching slightly, like the end of a cat's tail. A regal face crowned with a blaze of dark blue fur, undertoned with black, that started on the bridge of her nose and ended just after the pointy ears that tilted toward him. Her eyes were a striking shade of sapphire, looking down at Danny and they seemed to peer into his soul. They were off set by her white scales.

"Man! You're good! How'd you learn to fly like that?!" Danny asked excitedly.

She turned away from him. "Years and years of practice." She answered solemnly. Which was completely true. Her dragon half emerged at an extremely young age, making her the one of most experienced in the ways of her kind. Which made her the involuntary leader and teacher of every pendragon she knew. Which was just about every one of her friends. She was forced to leave them all behind. She quieted a sniffle and took off, away from the ghost boy, away from memories. She found a nice little clearing to sleep in for the night. Slipping the duffel bag off her neck to hang it on a branch so it wouldn't get wet, she transformed as the tears spilled over the weak dam until it burst. She just curled up on the ground and cried. All she wanted was to go home. Or finally be able to let go of the past. Or something to ease the pain. Something. She looked up at the sky, turning dark with the fading sun.

"You've taken everything from me." She sobbed. "My family, my friends, my home. "What more do you want from me!" She shouted at the paling sky. "What more can you take!"

"How about your freedom next?" A male voice said out of the darkness. A rag covered her face, forcing her to inhale through it. The effects were immediate. She felt groggy, her head spun, and she couldn't scream. Not that there was anyone out here to help her anyway. "Night, night. Freak."

Same as always, tell me how I did, I absolutely love hearing from you guys.
