Petitio Principii: Thanks

A. Nonymous: Thanks and it's no problem if you don't review because in case you haven't noticed, I don't ask for you guys to review though I'll admit I like to read them

Raye Sun: Hehe… sorry but unfortunately, I do

coolgirlc: Thank you

AtomX: It's like this, the Huntsmaster is Chris' grandfather right? So that would mean Chris' father is the Huntsmaster's son. Meanwhile, the Huntsmaster is also Rose's uncle meaning the Huntsmaster's sister is Rose's mom. This makes Rose and Chris' dad cousins. That's why Chris and JR are related

horseluver101: Thanks

Worker72: I'm sorry but I don't think I'll be including the Dark Dragon in this but what you've said gave me an idea and I'm definitely going to be in my next American dragon story

Goth Jedi: I know

dragongirl5555: You'll see

Jake Long: I think a lot of people don't really like him

Maria Casey Wood: Yeah, I guess. Thanks

sonic626: Thanks. The California dragon is doing well too

CelloSolo2007: I like making cliffies. Thanks. I will

I've changed something, instead of Chris having a little brother, I've decided for him to have a little sister. I'm really sorry for the last minute change, just go back to Chap 34 or 33 for her description. I'm sorry but I felt more comfortable if Chris' younger sibling would be a girl. Anyway, chapters are getting long, aren't they? Oh well… It's almost to the end… :)


"So, you're not a Huntsclan member?" Rose asked. After their, I mean, Jake's little accident, both he and Rose ended up in this little girl's room and started to ask her a few questions, well, Rose did. Jake wasn't too trusting since it was Huntsclan territory and Rose barely managed to convince to wait awhile so that they could get more information. So, Jake just stayed in a corner, leaning while Rose questioned the girl. She expected her to be shocked, scared or even angry but was quite surprised when the girl just sat on her bed and answered all her questions politely. Though, she did keep looking at Jake, who was still in his dragon form, from time to time.

"I'm not" she said. Then thought for awhile and added, "Yet anyway"

"What makes you say that… um… Oh, I'm sorry, I never got to ask you your name" Rose said.

The girl smiled. "It's ok. I'm Christina but my brother calls me Chrissy" he said. Jake, a bit bored, turned at her. "And I guess when I'm right of age, grandfather will make me part of them"

Rose looked at her. "Do you want to be?"

Chrissy didn't quite answer and looked down. "… I'm not sure…I've always liked magical creatures, though I barely see one. It's the first time I've actually seen a dragon" she said, looking at Jake.

"Too bad you had to see this one" Rose muttered.

"Hey!" Jake said. "I heard that" he said grumpily. Chrissy and Rose laughed as steam came from Jake's head.

"Why don't you tell me about your brother?" Rose said to Chrissy.

"He's well…" Chrissy's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Is something wrong, Christina?" Rose asked.

Jake narrowed his eyes. "Your brother, does he happen to be the Huntsboy?" he said.

Chrissy nodded but with a frown on her face.

"Thought so" Jake said as he left his position. "Come on, we've got to find Jade quickly before- What?" he said as he realized Rose's irritated look at him.

"Jake, you are so tactless" Rose said, glaring at him before turning to Chrissy once again.

"Do you know where your brother is now, Chrissy?" she asked kindly.

"I think he's downstairs, grandfather and the others are preparing something for tomorrow" she answered. "But I don't know what it is"

Rose gasped. "They're preparing the ritual so that Chris will become an official Huntsclan member" she said, turning to Jake.

"Isn't that the thing wherein you have to…" Jake trailed as he realized what was going to happen.

Rose nodded. "We have to stop them no matter what" she said.

"We will" Jake replied determinedly. Chrissy just stared from him to Rose, curious of what was going on.

"Is something going on?" she asked, quite innocently.

Rose looked at her and smiled slightly. "You shouldn't worry about it. Listen, we have to go now. Will you-" she started but stopped when they heard something outside.


"What the-" JR began she spun around, only to find herself face-to-face with a seven foot ogre with a club in hand and about to strike.

"JR!" Chris shouted and pushed her out of the way.

"WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT!" JR shrieked as she watched the giant ogre's club put a hole in the wall. (You can't blame her, the only magical creatures she had seen were unicorns, twin oracles, her dad and a talking dog)

"That's an ogre. A giant ogre" Chris answered as they stood up. "A really strong and violent magical creature, pretty brutal and rude too" he said as the ogre came towards them once more.

But now, JR had overcome her shock. "Well, it's about to get a lesson in etiquette" she said as she narrowed her eyes at it. "DRAGON UP!" she yelled and turned into a dragon.

She flung at the ogre but unfortunately, just as the same time as the ogre swung its club. She made contact with the club and smashed into the wall.

"Ow…" she groaned as she turned back into human. "Ok, not good…" she said as she saw the ogre coming towards her.

Meanwhile, Chris had taken out his staff and fired at the ogre. It hit him on the head and instead, he headed for Chris.

"Ok, what to do what to do what to do what to do what to do" JR murmured as Chris kept on firing at the ogre who was still going closer to him.

"JR? A little help here?" Chris said. The ogre was only a few feet away from him. And his staff had gone from his hand to the floor.

"Oh man…How on earth am I supposed to fight that ugly giant? Come on, there has to be some weakness…" she said, looking at every direction to find something.

"There is" another voice said. JR turned and gasped, "Daddy!"

Jake stared at the ogre and blew flame towards it.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" the ogre yelled as it got hit on its back. Before it could fully turn around, someone knocked it down from its behind and the ogre fell down, face first.

"Mom!" JR said and ran towards Rose who hugged her daughter in happiness.

"Jade, I'm glad you're alright" she said.

"Would you expect it any other way?" JR replied.

"We can do reunions later" Jake said as he stared at Chris who had gotten back his staff and was now pointing it at Jake.

"Daddy, no" JR said as she left her mother's arms and stood in front of Chris who immediately put down his staff. "He's not our enemy"

"He's the Huntsboy" Jake responded.

"So?" JR said. "Mom is the Huntsgirl"

"That's different"

"Exactly how different Jake?" Rose asked as she stared at his husband.

"Well…" Jake began then looked at JR. "Alright but how do we know we can trust you?" he said to Chris.

"Because" he said, looking down. "Because all I want is to rescue my sister"

"You mean Christina?" Rose said.

Chris turned to her. "How… how did you know her?"

"We met" another voice answered. Everyone turned to see Chrissy, smiling at them.

"Big brother?" she said, turning at Chris who stared back.

"Chrissy! You shouldn't be here" he said.

"Why not?"

"It's too dangerous. After all the noise we made who knows what will happen? If grandfather finds out about this-"

"Too late"


Another cliffie! I feel so evil… oh well… Last chapter coming up!
