Ok sorry this chapter took so long but I've been very ill.

Chapter 6

The roof of the Tower became silent as Ghost left the roof, leaving only the shadowed figure to his thoughts.

I knew it. growled Josh How dare he touch my sister. and with that he turned into a dragon and followed Ghost at a tremendous speed.

Ghost was had run into kayley on the way to the common room (for he was now sleeping on the sofa, but little does he know it is completely trashed.)

"Ghost I'm really sorry, but we kinda totalled the couch." She mumbled, worried that he might hold a grudge against her for destroying the only comfortable piece of furniture in the common room.

"Its ok, I've had to sleep on a cave floor for the past few days so the carpet should be…" He didn't finish his sentence because a large, black dragon had tackled him to the ground.

JOSH!> Kayley roared shaking the tower from head to toe. What the hell are you doing!>

"Whoa, is it me or did the tower just shake?" Beastboy asked Cyborg as they walked to their rooms.

"Better go check it out." Cyborg said as he ran up to the next floor.

Kayley's shouts did nothing to stop the fight, but had alerted the Titans that something was wrong. They had all run up to where Ghost and josh where fighting. Ghost scared for his life shot a blast of shadow at the dragon, but all it did was leave a cut in his arm.

Josh let out a blast of black fire that hurtled towards Ghost but never hit him because Kayley had stepped in and deflected the blast with her bright shining scales.

What are you doing?>

He is the one who has been following us; he's the one who has been giving us away!.

Stop fighting him!>

No!>

Fine Dezaldor I will let you do whatever you want to Ghost if you can give an answer to a riddle.>

Fine, what's the riddle?> he said turning back human.

Only one colour, but not one size, stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies, present in sun, but not in rain, doing no harm and feeling no pain. What is it?>

You could tell Josh didn't know from the mortified expression on his face. He was never any good at riddles and he knew he couldn't get out of answering it because she had used his name. "Alright Cielo, you win, but mark my words I will get revenge for what he has put us through." He growled and stood unmoving staring at Ghost.

The air in the corridor was still and uneasy. Raven surveyed the two siblings and decided to break the silence and the staring contest. "Josh your bleeding!" she said and everyone looked at Josh's right arm. Raven walked over to Josh and was about to touch his arm to heal it when Kayley grabbed her wrist.

"If you want to keep your hand I suggest you let me do it." Kayley said as she shoved Raven out of the way.

"Why can't I do it?" Raven asked

"Because shadow dragon blood is very acidic and can melt through anything, that's why….and it's technically not blood." She said as she healed Josh.

Raven went paler then usual when she heard this. "If its not blood then what is it?" she asked not really wanting to know the answer.

"It's a substance called Ichor, its white in colour and different types have different traits."

"If it's supposed to be white, then why is his red?" BB asked as he waved a hand in front of Josh's blank face. He gave a little scream when Josh's steely eyes fixed their gaze on him.

"I'll let you tell them, and then maybe you'll tell them why people are after us." Josh said as he walked off of the roof.

"People are after you?" Robin asked with a questioning look on his face.

Kayley sighed "I didn't want to tell you guys. I didn't want you to get involved."

"Tell us what? Get us involved in what? What is going on here?" Robin asked clearly confused.

"It's a long story maybe we should sit down." Kayley said as she started walking to the common room, she really didn't want to talk about it and the Titans knew it.

They walked down to the common room in complete silence, they all kept glancing at Kayley, but she completely ignored them. She had so much running through her head she nearly walked into the wall. What should I tell them? Can I really trust them with our secret? Why is everyone staring at me? I didn't realise it was such a big deal. She lost her train of thought when she collided with Cyborg, she fell to the floor with a large bump on her head where she was hit.

"Argh, why did you stop?" Kayley moaned from the floor. She was helped to her feet by Beastboy and he took care not to let her fall over from any dizziness she might have been feeling.

"I just realised, your little friend is gone." He said in a monotone voice.

"Ghost," Kayley mumbled as she rubbed her bruised head. "Erm, he said he was going to the beach. Something about making himself feel calm after what happened."

"BB I want you to follow him, he cant of gotten too far and Kayley I need you to tell me everything." Robin ordered. Kayley watched as BB ran out the door, she didn't really know what was happening and she was finding it hard to stand.

Robin lead Kayley to a chair and sat her down, he didn't want her to collapse before she told him her story.

"Well as you know I am a pearl dragon, a being of light that kind of thing." She stated "Well we are special."

"What do you mean special?" Robin asked he wore a very serious expression that did more then disturb Kayley.

"Well you know what I told you about Ichor and how every different type has a different trait?" she asked.

"Yes" Robin answered "What about it?"

"Pearl Ichor has an unusual trait. It is pure luck."

"What do you mean pure luck?"

"I mean if you drink one drop you have enough luck to win the lottery three times in a row! That's what I mean!" Kayley shouted getting a bit to worked up about the whole situation.

"And that's why people have been following you? To get your blood?"

"That's what I think they want." She sighed not wanting to tell him any more, but she knew what he was going to ask next.

"So why is Josh's bl… Ichor red instead of white?" Kayley winced as he asked this.

"Because you don't just get shadow dragons, they're not a natural breed. You cant be born one. You have to become one."

"How do you become one?" Robin asked now he was really interested.

"You really wanna know?" She only had to look at Robins face to know that he wanted to no. Badly. "To become a shadow dragon you have to kill a pearl dragon, get its heart, cut open your chest, place the dragon heart over yours, and spear both of them with a shard of the Draconus Spear. Then you'll turn into a shadow dragon."

Robin stood there with his mouth hanging open and disbelieving expression on his face.

"Can I go yet?"

"Sure go ahead."

Kayley stood up and started to walk across the common room, she got to the door just as Cyborg walked through with news about Ghost.

"We found him down at the beach." He said happily while BB walked in carrying pizza boxes. "Oh and we bought pizza!"

BB deposited the boxes on the table. "Hey Kayley you don't look too good." He said as he looked at her. After he said this Kayley fell forwards into his arms unconscious and knocked him to the floor.

"Whoa." He said as he raised his head to see the unconscious Kayley's head on his chest.

Ok its done I hope you enjoyed it people. :)
