Continueing...

Sitting at the front of her Biology class,Hailey was hardly listening to anything her Teacher,Mr. Dunnsworth,was saying.Her mind kept replaying all the events that had lead up to Alex acutally saying something personal and deep to her.She knew he probabley just meant he liked her as only a very good friend,but what if it was more?The faint sound of someone walking her way didn't phase her,but only when a stern slamming of a yellow ruler came flying down onto her desk in front of her,did she abruptly escape her reverie to turn up and listen,

"Do you think this is the time for daydreaming,Ms. Long?"Mr. Dunnsworth inquired her sharply,taking the ruler he had only seconds ago struck her desk with and began patting it lightly but impaitently on his upturned palm,"Or,is doing it at home in you're sleep not possible..."

"Well...um,no.I do homework and other things at home Mr. D."she repiled back pertly,smiling in the back of her mind at other more seemingly important thoughts,but when she suddenly realized what she was doing,she was promt to reply,"I mean!I'm...um,sorry."

"Oh,knock off the delusional stammering and get the reports Ms. Riderson have behind you."He waved his hand at her conclusively and headed back for his desk to begin preparing to grade the reports before the bell rang,but not before leaving her with an argus-eyed look.

"I think he has it out for me,"Hailey turned to whisper carefully to Chelsea,who handed her the papers with a frown in reply.

"I think you just need to stop thinking about Mr. Good-looking and concentrate on you're work,"She told Hailey straightforwardly,brushing back some of the brownish banks from her eyes to tell her friend know she meant it,"Besides,he has it out for all of us!Not just you."

Turning her head moderately,she took notice that DJ had been listening off to her right and nodded in correspondence,but he went back to work as soon at Mr. Dunnsworth's eyes peered up a bit to see if anyone was misbehaving while he was occupied.Sighing deeply,she started back to her assignment as the Teacher got up again and collected thier homework.

Later that day...

Pratically bursting out the front doors,Hailey took off at an alarming rate towards the Jewelery shop.Today was her Mother's birthday and she had been entrusted with the money to buy her a 18 kart gold chain necklece on her way home from school,because her Father was working and Skyler was too young.He had slipped her the 50 dollar bill before she had left the house and knew that her whole family would be home fairly soon and that time was of the essence if she was to run to the store and make it back before that time arrived,

"Hailey!"she heard and even felt someone behind her calling her name,a quick thought crossed her mind but she dismissed it and turned to smile almost ear-to-ear as she saw a familar figure hurry up to her and stop just a few feet in front of her to catch his breath.

"You move pretty fast when you want to."Hailey had to laughed at him good-naturedly,helping him up by the arm as he was still catching the last few gulps of air he needed to start talking,"I'm pretty fast to.Well,when I'm on the rebound of things usually."

"Pretty much,"Alex laughed back some and then continued by saying frankly,"You know that you have a 'real' sense of humor,not fake or forced,but just a genuine thing about you that truely makes you funny,"Not to sound like I'm boasting about you though,"he smiled but then asked her a little hesistantly,"So,do you want to go see the Karma concert this weekend?It's already sold out,but I've got two tickets for it. And it's suppose to be pretty good.You know,aside from some other awesome bands and some just plaining bad ones."

"I'll have to ask my parents,"Hailey awnsered imbuemently,that's when something else came to mind,"Hey,"she said with a breath of excitement,her emerald eyes lighting up,"Why not come with me?It's my Mom's birthday and I have to get her present."

Suddenly though,Alex's whole demeanor seemed to change.He began to look pale and beads of perspiration were starting to form on his forehead.Grimacing,he started to back away a few feet and his eyes turned strangely round as he shook his head vigorously,

"Sorry,Hailey,"he finally spoke up besoughtingly,turning on his heel and heading up the main road in the opposite direction with his hands dug deep within his jean pockets,as he turned to tell her backwards then rush along,"But I've got some other things to take care of."

With a worried look,Hailey watched him disappear behind a building on the corner of the street heading uptown and somehow fought off the urge to go after him.But she felt an unsettled and bothered feeling in the pit of her stomach,as she finally gave up on hoping to see him round the corner and come back to tell her what was amatter and started off running in the opposite direction,just remembering her errand.

And...

Further along her way there,she sensed that she wasn't alone on the questionably vacant sidewalks.With only a car or two passing by every 20 seconds or so,but Hailey didn't have the time to worry with such feelings.As she was only a mere three blocks away from the jewelery store and had the money for her Mother's gift grasped firmly in her hand,she was about to pass an alley,but something about it made her stop dead in her tracks.Breathing heavily,she turned to fact the semi-shadowed parted enterance and looking behind her,she started to move catiously a few steps in and whispering,"Eye of the Dragon," allowed her to scan the darkened space cluttered with old trashcans and cardboard boxers.After revealing nothing,she started to make her way out,but that's when she felt something grab on to her ankle.

"What!"She screamed at the shock of being dragged in,but upon further inspection she saw it was only a small Lepercon holding on tightly to her and whimpering some when she kneeled down to it's level,"What's wrong little guy?"she asked him gently,"Why are you..."

"A Dragon,"the smallish green creature murmured warbly,fear starting to fill his eyes,"A...a dark Dragon has gotten passed Magical security and is going to steal the Dragonite,you have to stop it!If he gets ahold of it...he'll...oh,dear...he'll..."

Recognizing insticntively that the Lepercon Security Guard was too afraid to say anymore and that in deed the rumors going around were most likely true at this point,Hailey took the Lepercon on her back as she called,"Dragon up!" and began to flap as hard and fast as she could to the nearby museum,which secretly held the enterance to the Magic Museum hidened underneath it.Hailey's Dragon form was very impressive.She was,of course,purple.But larger green eyes then a normal Dragon,she resembled Jake in someways and had blue crests that went down her back that went up and then bent backwards all the way to her tail,which was a little longer then his,

"Hold on,"She told the clinging and still trembling Lepercon on her back,as she chuted downwards and nearly crashed into the side of the tan-bricked building.Without a second's thought,she scrambled into the bushes.But once she saw no one,she turned her head to face her sender,"Alright,"she took a moment to sigh and set him down gently but hastily,"Are you sure he's in there?"

When he nodded slowly,she explained for him to stay in the bushes and went up to start pressing certain loose bricks on the building's side and before she knew it,a small passageway opened and she stepped inside heedfully.It took Hailey down a few floors,before the door opened and she flew out of it quietly.With her guard up,she catiously landed and moved in on a dark figure only about forty feet away.

"OK,pal."Hailey annouced her arrival to the shadowy creature,as it cocked it's head her way in the midst of it only inches away from grabbing hold of a glowing,crimson gem that seemed to float in place just slightly over it's ivory pedestal,"I'm here and I'm ready!"

It grinned wickedly at her and turned in response to start walking forward before he was out of the shadows and more into the light,which revealed him as a large ebony Dragon,around Hailey's size and age,with glowing yellow eyes and except for his younger appearance and eyes,looked exactly as the orginial Dark Dragon did.The two started to environ each other slowly and warily,especially Hailey,

"So you're the American Dragon I've been hearing so much about,"he inquired her in a deep and even voice,intimidation and over-confidence becoming obvious as his first tactic to try on Hailey,"Well,that is,you are the Second American Dragon."

"I guess you've heard rumors too,"She humored him nervelessly,preparing herself for whatever he might dish out,"And the ones on you aren't pleasant,"but she soon turned serious in her attempt to start getting him to talk,"OK,tell me,why are you stealing the Dragonite?"

Shaking his head slowly but mind-numbingly,"Dragon,hasn't you're Grandfather taught you anything,"his tone grew even more deeper and darker,as he delivered the final words to the introduction,"Play first,and if you survive,ask questions later."

With that,he lunged at her with his claw held back,as he sent a surge of dark lightening her way.Tooken by surprise,Hailey dived under him when the two where almost in a freezeframe flight postion and taking him by his tail just as he was passing above her,she swung with all might and sent him hurtling into a potrait of an old Magic bean plantation.As Hailey dove for the portrait,the Dark Dragon sent a fire wave and cinged it before it reached her claws.Gritting her teeth,Hailey braced herself,as he swooped in on her and the two started exchanging blows.The Dark Dragon was a fair contender,but Hailey still seemed on top of him.Or,so it seemed that way.

"Not bad so far,"he commented on her in a cool voice,as she delivered a powerful punch into his ribs when he was cut off guard.

"Not bad yourself,"Hailey repiled curtly and was about to swing her balled fist into his other side,when he caught her right in the middle.

"But certainly not good enough."

He told her coldly,as he twisted her by the wrist and with only one claw,almost effortlessly tossed her sideways and into some bust of the Founders of the Museum.With one last sly grin her way,he made his way over towards the stop sign-shaped gem which Hailey had assumed by then was the Dragonite.But as she got up to try and stop him,she felt the extent of the damange he done to her wrist.So,rubbing it ferverishly,she gave a running start and almost seemed to have the upperclaw on his retreating back.But he snapped around just at that second and caught her in a darkened forcefield,that lasted long enough for him to grab the gem and fly.

The black prison soon faded from around her,but for some reason she couldn't find the strength to pursue the new threat she was determined to go after.But even just barely flapping there in the air,seemed to weigh her down and before she knew it she was too tired to even more.She had missed getting her Mother's gift to her on time,Hailey thought with regret flooding her mind.But even more serious,she had let the new Dark Dragon get away,which made the feeling of it all just that much worse.The more she struggled to get up,however,the more weakened and fragile she felt.Soon her eye lids grew to heavy too keep open and suddenly she found herself contained within the realm of sleep.With only the haunting dreams of how she had let one of the newest and even biggest threats of all get away,to burden her.

Well,it certainly doesn't sound good.And it doesn't get much better the next chapter either...oh wait.Yeah it does!But I'm not giving anything away,so stay tuned!
