Chapter Three

Rose started to run; running as fast as she could out of the area. She couldn't even look back, to see his face. She had no choice, but to run. The Huntsgirl in her was telling her what she did, was wrong. But someone else was telling her, that she did the right thing.

But soon, her running came to a complete stop. She ran into her master, staring at her evilly. "Where is the American Dragon!?" He yelled out. Though the whole clan retreated, he still expected him slain.

"Uhh..." Rose said under her breathe, that was all she could come up with.

"You let him escape!!?" He yelled out. Rose was totally scared right now. "I've given you more than plenty of opportunities to prove your loyalty, and every time you've disappointed me." He was angry, this time. Rose opened up her mouth to explain herself, but his loud voice prevented her doing it so. "You're being sent back to the Academy, first thing tomorrow." He charged backwards.

Rose ran up to her Huntsmaster, and grabbed his sleeve. "Master, wait. Give me another chance,"

The man abruptly moved his arm up, pulling her grip off of him. "You had your chance." Was all he said, and then he left the area heading into the Huntsclan helicopter.

Rose felt like crying, right then and there. Not only did she lose her chance at ever being a part of something, she just found out the boy she liked is a dragon!? How couldn't see seen it sooner. Was it right to let him go? Or should she have slain him? But in her heart, she knew that she had feelings for Jake. And killing him would only hurt her worse.

By early next morning, Rose was feeling a little better than yesterday. Well, at least she stopped crying. But she had to get up extra early, because the Huntsman was making her sign out of school today. He was really mad at her, and this time there was no way of getting out of it. So she got on her usual school clothes, and packed up a backpack full of stuff she would take back to her old bunk. But just as she was about to leave, she looked over at a picture of her and Jake, dancing at the dance. She couldn't help but still like him, even if they were mortal enemies. She figured that she could keep that photo, to remind herself of him when she goes back to the Academy. She hid it inside her bag, and ran out of her room.

Down the elevator, and out on the sidewalk, Rose walked alone as the sun started to rise. Just like any other school business, her master never attended. It was her decision to be enrolled in school, so she must take care of any school events herself.

Slowly down the sidewalk, she looked over to the street above her. She had grown fawned of this place, and desperately didn't want to leave. Especially since, she would be doing it, without saying good-bye.

Suddenly, a fog a smoke appeared next to her shoulder. She looked over to see Kaira next to her, walking along side with her.

Kaira couldn't help but notice the sad expression on Rose's face, she knew what had happened. "Why, didn't you tell me?" Rose finally spoke out, she felt like she was going to cry again.

"There are some things in life; you just need to find out yourself." Was the answer for her.

Rose couldn't help but feel bad that she was going to leave. But she rubbed her face, and tried to stay positive. "Do you think I made the right choice?"

Kaira bent down, and put her arm around her. "Rose, you did the right thing." She smiled. Rose couldn't help but smile back.

"Do you think I've ever see him again?" She looked up at her, as if she was actually looking for her guidance.

"Love has a way, of finding itself, even through the darkest rooms." Rose felt better, hearing that from her.

Doubt her being a magical creature; I guess Rose learned that she truly wasn't as ruthless as the Huntsclan. Maybe this is a new leaf, on her branch. "Thank you, Kaira, for everything. You really showed me, there is more to my life than what I know."

The two were now right against the school, approaching to the front doors. "No problem kid. Now if you ever need me, don't hesitate to call that number." Kaira said, she started to slowly walk backwards.

Rose turned around; she couldn't let her leave, just yet. "But I can't make personal calls when I'm in the academy. I guess that means...good-bye?" She started to get sad.

Kaira moved Rose's chin up, with her finger. "Not just yet. I'll get to you, somehow..." She continued to walk backwards. "Oh and one last thing. Maybe someone else could take use of that picture in your bag." She pointed to the backpack. Rose turned around and searched through it, and pulled out the picture she had brought. But little did she know that a dragon soon appeared behind her. The dragon flew up into the sky, and instantly disappeared from site.
