JR watched in awe as her mom jumped from building to building then back to the rooftop of their house.
"Wow, cool mom!" she said. JR, who was wearing the Huntsgirl uniform, looked identical to Rose except that her braided hair was black.
"Want to learn how?" Rose asked.
"Yea!"
Rose smiled. "Come on" she said. They went to the edge of the roof.
"Jade, concentrate on getting towards the other side. You're going to need to use your legs" Rose said.
JR nodded. She looked at the other side. It seemed like a really long distance. She moved back a bit then ran and jumped as high as she could.
JR landed on her feet. 'How did I do that?' she thought. She felt her mom arrive beside her.
"Good work, Jade" Rose complemented.
"Thanks, I think"
Rose smiled. "Jade, you're a descendant from the Huntsclan, these things come to you naturally"
"Mom, is this what you like to do when you were my age?"
"Yeah" Rose replied. "I like the feeling about jumping in the air. It makes me feel I'm flying. Don't tell Jake this but I've always wanted to fly"
"But I can-" JR stopped what she has about to say. "I mean, I like to fly too" she said.
Rose smiled again and stared at the sky.
"Mom, did you like becoming the Huntsgirl?" JR asked.
Rose was surprised at the question. "Oh…well, it was my birthright. I needed to do it, it was my duty and-"
"Mom, that's not my question"
Rose sighed. "No, I never really did like it. Killing magical creatures for profit just seems so… wrong"
"Then, why did you?"
"I'm not sure. But I guess it's because of my uncle. After my parents died in an accident, he took me in and gave me everything. And I guess I thanked him for that by becoming Huntsgirl. Then everything just came into place, I hunted magical creatures then the American dragon would come and ruin everything. I really hated him that time" Rose said with a bit of anger that JR winced, though her mom was too busy thinking about her past memories to see it.
"But believe it or not, when I was little, I've always liked dragons of all the magical creatures"
"So why do you hate him?" JR asked, knowing who really him was.
"I suppose some of uncle's hate for dragons gave me a reason to hate them too, most especially him" Rose said with disgust. "He was always there, ruining everything. It would have been easier if he would stop butting in into my business"
'If mom only knew, the dragon she hates is the person she loves' JR thought. 'I hate irony'
"We better go, it's getting dark" Rose said.
JR nodded.
They were both about to jump towards their rooftop when something else landed on it. It was red and together with it was a gray dog.
Rose's eyes narrowed.
"Dragon"
