ANYWAY! I hope you all enjoy!


ANI'S POV

"Cole, why do you have to go?" I whined.

My brother paused from packing his bottomless dragon saddle-bags. "Because, I want to see Uncle Ian happy again."

I crossed my arms. "You've never seen him happy." I pointed out.

Cole gave me a lopsided grin, "Good point."

I climbed onto his bed and sat cross-legged. "Well, at least take me with you."

Cole looked up from folding his spare shirts, "You know I can't do that. Mom and Dad would kill me."

"So what?" I huffed. "You've disobeyed them multiple times, so take me with you."

Cole gave me a look. "Ani…" His voice sounded like he didn't want me to press any harder. But, I was too fired up to care.

"You always do this! You tell me it's too dangerous, and that you don't want me to get hurt, but you go and do those dangerous things anyways!" I was practically screaming.

"Anita!" Cole yelled, his eyes going from their soft budder-brown to a fiery yellow. His shirt made a ripping noise as his wings tore through it.

I was scared. He rarely lost his temper, but when he did, he was very scary. Even more so than Dad, and he's a full blooded Dragon. "I'm sorry." I squeaked out.

Cole took several deep breaths. His eyes deepened back to budder-brown and his wings vanished. "No, I'm sorry." He sat down next to me and put an arm around my shoulders. "I'm sorry for scaring you, but you still can't come; if something happens to me, who will take care of Mom and Dad?"

A plan started to form at the back of my mind. "Fine…" I mumbled, the details of my plan rapidly filling in.

I hugged my brother back, and then I remembered that he had yet to pack the special anti-ache potions that Mom and Dad had made. I told Cole as much.

My brother kissed the top of my head. "Thanks Ani. I love you."

"Love you too, Cole." When he had left, I scuttled to my room and grabbed the bag I had already packed. I hurried back to Cole's room and stuffed my pack inside his saddlebags and finally climbed inside myself.

COLE'S POV

I hefted my saddlebags over my shoulder. Because the bags were magically bottom-less, the weight was almost nothing. I headed down the stairs and headed out the front door. Mom and Dad were waiting for me.

Dad grinned, his brown eyes sparkling. "Don't forget, we love you son."

I grinned. "Thanks dad." I dropped the saddlebags and took several steps away from my parents. I took a deep breath to steel myself for the pain. My body morphed into its dragon form. I was larger than my dad for some reason, but I was also more powerful. I hadn't got the complete dragon gene from dad, but that left room for mom's ability to control the elements to shine through. My scales were a deep amber-brown; darker than dad's, but much more lustrous. I felt the light pressure of my saddlebags settle just behind my wings. "Thanks mom." I hissed.

"Don't worry about it." Mom replied. "Just bring the Heroes back."

I gave her a dragon grin and launched into the air. I and my friends had promised to meet in front of Uncle Ian's house, so that's where I was headed. Something nagged at the back of my head, but it didn't register until I landed. I never told my friends of my being half-dragon.

Mitch and Jaycen attacked me with their axes simultaneously. "Gah!" I exclaimed and leapt back into the air. But, even there, I wasn't safe. Gratien spread his own wings and flew after me, throwing electrical energy at my head.

I landed again and bellowed, "It's me, you muffin-heads!"

My friends didn't even pause. I made a strangled sounding growl. I had no choice; I had to use mom's powers. I summoned a bolt of ice in my claws and directed it onto the ground, freezing everyone's feet to the ground. "You nut-heads!" I bellowed. "I'm really considering getting Ani! She would have miles more sense than all of you put together!"

Zelma gaped. She was the only one who hadn't tried to kill me. "Opps. Sorry Cole." She moved her feet, shattering the near-rock solid ice(a/n, Wait, What?). She moved across the ice carefully. When she was standing before me, I could see the fiery blush that burned in her cheeks.

I concentrated on returning to human form. The pain radiated out through my muscles, but quickly vanished after I was physically human again. I gave my friends a lopsided grin.

"You…you…that's all I'm going to say. You…(a/n, Quote time!)" Graten spluttered.

I rolled my eyes. "Think about my dad and my sister. Did you think that gene just skipped me entirely?" I asked, pointedly.

There was a dry, humorless chuckle behind me. Uncle Ian stepped out of the shadows. "Indeed."

"Hey, Cole?" Jaycen called out, "Mind unfreezing our feets?(a/n, What is with these quotes?)"

I glanced at my friends. "Opps. Sorry." I sent a low temperature fireball at the ice, which rapidly evaporated.

"Thanks," Jaycen and Mitch said, simultaneously.

Suddenly, there was a great crashing sound. I looked around rapidly for the source of the sound. A sturdy branch from one of the trees had snapped right off! As a matter of fact, all the trees nearby were shaking like there was a great storm tearing through them!

"Get down!" I yelled. I changed to my dragon form, biting down on the pain to keep from screaming. I spread my wings over my friends, keeping them safe from the flailing branches.

A pure white blur shot straight at me. I felt a solid punch connect with my jaw. It sent me off balance for a moment, but I recovered quickly.

The glowing blur stopped right in front of me. Now I could clearly see what, or rather, who it was that attacked me. It was a tall woman. She had glowing blood red eyes, and long blonde hair. She had two streaks in her hair, one blue, the other orange; they brought to mind my Uncle Husky.

"Where. Is. Hero?!" She asked slowly, enunciating each and every word. She had to mean Herobrine, since there was no other person I could think of that had a name like that. But, I had somehow taken too long to answer, as she ran at me again and grabbed me around my neck. She rose into the air, managing to pull my near 5 ton weight with her. I instinctively spread my wings to keep from falling.

The woman lifted me until we were eye to eye. "Where. Is. Hero?" She repeated.

I didn't even realize that I had been forced into my hybrid form until she dropped me. I snapped my wings open, praying that I didn't hit the ground too hard. The feeling of colliding with the ground never came. I opened first one eye then the other. I was hovering a good three feet about the ground. My surprise broke my sub-conscious concentration and I crashed to the ground. "Ow." I muttered.

"Night!" The sudden exclamation cased me to look up from the surprisingly fascinating dirt. I saw a certain Blue and Orange Amphibian standing, dripping wet, beside the river that ran nearby.

Night, as the woman must be called, turned to see who had called her. Her mouth dropped into a perfect O of surprise. "H…Husky?" She asked.

"GG, it's all right." My uncle soothed. "Come down, please?" I saw that he was holding his arms out, as if to give her a hug.

Night gave a sob and almost moved at the speed of light to Uncle Husky's embrace.

HUSKEY'S POV

I gently hugged my sister. I hadn't seen her in almost twenty years. "I missed you." I murmured into her hair.

"I missed you more." My little sister whispered back.
