MuSiCaNdY: You really think so? Sorry, I'll make this one better

Worker72 : You're right but I sorta forgot about that… hehe… sorry but next time

A. Nonymous: I don't think I've heard of that play. But I have seen a movie about an atomic bomb dropped in two places of Japan, I think it was Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It's based on a true story. Was the girl in any of those two places?

oxymoronique: Of course I love it! The book more than the movie though

Andy walked slowly and quietly.

"Damn, I lost them…" he said to himself. There was no way he'd let JR be alone with Chris so he followed them. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to keep up with the pace especially because he had to be hidden.

He cursed lightly then sighed and leaned on a tree.

"Now what?" he asked himself. After a few more minutes, he decided to give it a rest and go home. He was about to leave when he heard a voice shout.

"DRAGON UP!"

"JR" he said then made his way quickly towards the source. He was surprised to see a blue dragon being caught down by a net. There were hooded people around it. And two people were in the center, one was a grown man wearing a bone skull for a helmet and the other was-

"Chris" Andy snarled, staring at the blond boy who was merely looking at the captured dragon. That's when Andy came to his senses and stared at it as well.

"I'm taking a wild guess that that's JR" he said. Even though he knew JR was a dragon, he never actually saw her being one until now. His guess was confirmed when a second later, the dragon transformed back into JR.

"What the? Dragon up! Come on, dragon UP!" JR said. Andy could tell she was getting frantic.

"No use, dragon" he heard the bone skull man say. "That net is made of Sphinx's hair, the only substance known to render a dragon powerless"

Andy had no idea what a Sphinx was but he knew JR needed help and fast. He ran hurriedly and went to the only person he could think of.

"Where is she?" Jake said worriedly, doing his usual routine when worried: pacing up and down the floor.

Rose, who was seated peacefully, rolled her eyes. "Calm down, Jake. Jade must just be-"

"MR. L! MR. L!"

The couple jumped when the door burst open and Andy came inside, dipped in sweat and gasping for air.

"Andrew?" Jake said.

"J… R… in… trou… ble…" he replied through breaths of air. He had his hands on his knees.

"What did you say?" Rose said as she stood up abruptly.

"JR. She's a dragon, I know. She-"

"You WHAT!" Jake shouted.

"No more time to explain. She's been captured"

"WHAT!" this time, both Jake and Rose yelled.

"You are so not getting away with this" JR said as she struggled to take off the chains that were binding her hands. After her capture, the Huntsclan took her to their lair somewhere and tied, I mean chained, both her hands on the wall.

"Why don't you watch me?" the Huntsmaster replied.

JR glared daggers at him. "When I get free, I swear I'll-"

"Get free? You can try" he sneered. "But by dawn tomorrow morning, you won't have the life to and Huntsboy will earn his rightful place in the Huntsclan" he said, turning to Chris who was leaning on the wall.

"When he will slay you" he continued, reverting his attention back to JR. "Pity, though. You could have been a valuable member to the Huntsclan"

Chris stared at him. "What?" he asked, surprised.

"She is the daughter of my niece, Rose who used to be the Huntsgirl. But unfortunately, they both chose to live lives without the Huntsclan which was mistake"

"You mean JR's the one you told me about? The one I was supposed to work with?" Chris said. "Wait a minute, a dragon is part of the Huntsclan?"

"Unfortunately yes but that will be taken cared of by you"

"But wait, why can't we just continue on with that plan? She still has the birth mark, right? She can be part of the Huntsclan and-"

"But I won't" JR intervened. Chris stared at her.

"I thought as much" the Huntsmaster said. "Huntsboy, watch over her-"

"But-"

"As I prepare the ritual for tomorrow" the Huntsmaster said as though there had been no interruption. He stared at Chris.

"I expect much from you and you will do as I say" his last words were more like a threat than a statement. With that, he left.

"I'm doomed, aren't I?" JR said to Chris.

"Look, you don't have to be. If you just agree to join-"

"Forget it, I can't and I won't. Ok?"

"But it's the only way to save your life"

"I'd rather die, then"
