Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE AMERICAN DRAGON!

Chapter Four

Jake woke up with a sharp poke in his back. He groaned and turned. Haley always woke him up for stupid reasons. Another poke made him get up. "Haley, will you..." He started but his voice faltered. A tall young girl was staring back at him. She had long silver hair, wide purple eyes, and pale skin. She was wearing a long robe the color of silver. Jake stood up. He was taller than her but not much. "The silver dragon?" He asked. The girl nodded. "It's a full moon?" She shook her head. "Friday the thirteenth?" She also shook her head. He was about to ask her why she wasn't a dragon when she quickly hushed him. A large cloaked figure walked to the bars of their cell. The figure pointed at the girl. Another cloaked figure also appeared. It whispered in the other's ear. The figure nodded then bent down. It opened a flap and scooted a tray full of food. Then they walked away. Jake lunged for the food, his belly growling. The girl grabbed his wrist and shook her head. "Why not?" He asked, trying to pull from her grasp. "It's drugged." She whispered. Jake dropped the bread, half because of the drugged part, and half from the part that she could talk. He looked at the food hungrily then turned back to the girl. "I think we need to talk." Jake said, putting his hands on his hips. The girl looked down. "Probably, but I won't, as of right now, we are not safe." She answered, sitting on the bed.

They came after a few minutes. The smell of them reached Jake and the girl before they could see them. The three dragons sneered and snapped at Jake and the girl. On two of the dragons, a red pearl and a white silvery pearl hung around their necks. The girl clenched her fists and stared hard at the dragons. "Nubeseh hushegfhe uflur." One of them spat. "Ghugye oityuew hguenw!" She yelled back. The dragon that spoke hissed. It opened it's mouth and a dark ball began to grow. "Mushelin!" A voice cut out. A large red monster with black and red striped horns and pure yellow eyes. It had dark blue talons and greenish yellowish, razor sharp teeth. It walked towards the cell and reached out. It grabbed the girl by the chin and dragged her near him. "You will be mine, my little silver dragon. And your blood too." It said, stroking her cheek with it's long talon. She pulled out of its grip and backed up away from it. It just smirked and turned, grabbing the three dragons by the neck. It turned and looked at Jake. It smirked again and left. Jake went to the girl. "What were they saying?" He asked. She turned to look at him. "We need to get out of here." She said. He bit his lip. Why did she never want to talk! He needed to know about this stuff! He was in it, right?, he thought as he backed away from her. "Dragon up!" He shouted.

The fire engulfed him. He felt the regular feeling of change when something new came into him. A sharp burning sensation. It covered his whole body. The fire turned into a gray smoke and he coughed. He was sweating and breathing hard. He was also human still. What had happened?, he asked himself as he stood up shakily. He felt dizzy. "I forgot to tell you. Those pearls, they're our dragon forms." She told him, sitting him on the bed. He moaned and closed his eyes. Maybe, just maybe, if he closed his eyes, wished really hard, and then opened his eyes, everything would be gone. He opened his eyes and moaned in dismay. It was real. The girl sighed and grabbed the bars. She had gotten out of here before. She could get out of here again. She cleared her mind and concentrated hard. The third block from the floor on the eighth line is loose, a voice whispered. She walked to the wall and counted to three. Then looked for the eighth line. She grabbed it with her fingernails and pulled the block right out. She quickly pulled the others out near her, making a small opening. She walked back to the bed. "American Dragon, I have found a way." She told him. Jake bolted up and quickly jumped off the bed. He groaned and held his head. He was still dizzy. She put her arms around his arm and walked forward through the opening. She let him lean against the wall while she put the blocks back in and grabbed him again. The stairs were slippery and cobwebs filled the corners. Rats would sometimes run out in front of them, dart around thier feet, then go back into it's hole. Soon, Jake was able to walk down the stairs on his own. She led the way. Finally they came to a door. She tried the doorknob but it did not budge. She kicked it but received a bruised toe. The door was thick. Suddenly the door swung open and Jake and the girl gasped.
