Chapter Eight
Violet groaned. She felt like her head would explode. She tried to rub her head but found out she couldn't move her hands. Realization ran through Violet. She was in her dragon form, bound to a post by chains.
"She's awake, master." Huntsboy said.
"Would you like to show us your human face, dragon?" Huntsmaster asked.
"Oh, let me think…" Violet said sarcastically, "NO!"
"You are just like your father, and your great grandfather before you," Huntsmaster said.
"My great grandpa?" Violet said, "You knew him?"
"Knew him?" the Huntsmaster began laughing, "I SLAYED him!"
"S-slayed?" Violet gulped.
"Yes," Huntsmaster said, "But I still have to find out the true identity of the American Dragon, my niece never told me his identity, she just quit the Huntsclan, she ran away, ran away from it all."
"Now, it'll be your turn to die, dragon girl!" Huntsboy said.
"Uh… aren't you gonna have a …a ceremony or something?" Violet asked, trying to keep them from bringing her to her grave early.
"Yes, and it'll start in a while," Huntsboy pointed a finger at a Violet, "And I'll finally become a member of the Huntsclan when I slay you."
"D-don't you have dinner to go to or something?" Violet asked.
Huntsboy's eyes widened in shock, he looked at his watch. "Aw man!" he whined, "I'm gonna be late for dinner! And my parents seem to be getting suspicious!"
"Go, if you must," Huntsmaster sighed.
Huntsboy nodded and ran off. Huntsmaster watched him go. He turned around to face the dragon, "You may have saved your skin this time, but you won't next time. And don't bother trying to break that, it's made from Unicorn horn." The Huntsmaster left the dungeon laughing after seeing the dragon glare at him.
Violet watched him, then, a thought entered her mind, 'Aw man,' Violet thought, 'is that common?' The only people she knew who said that a lot would be her, her father, and her brother. Her brother! He was about the same height and maybe age as Huntsboy. 'Come to think of it, their voices are a bit similar,' Violet thought.
"No, it can't be," Violet said, dismissing those thoughts.
Jack ran to his house as fast as he could. He banged the door open. "I'm here! I'm here!" he panted.
"Huh?" Jack looked around, the living room was empty. 'Maybe they're already having dinner,' Jack thought as he walked to the kitchen. The kitchen was also deserted "Where is everybody?" Jack wondered.
He saw a note on the fridge. Jack walked over to it and took it out. It read:
Dear Jack,
Sorry, but we might not be home for a while. You can put the left over slice of pizza from last night in the microwave. Your sister is missing; your father and I won't be home for a few hours.
PS. Finish your homework and go to bed on time.
-Mom
"Violet's missing? How could that be?" Jack said, "Vi never runs off without tellin' mom an' dad," He shrugged and put the pizza in the microwave.
"I wonder if they'll be away long enough for me to slay that dragon," Jack wondered. He waited for his pizza to be ready, and while he waited, a thought struck him, "There's something familiar about that dragon… and her voice." He thought for a moment, "And Violet never goes missing…"
"Nah!" he shook his head, "Vi can't be her, it's highly unlikely," He walked over to the microwave. He ate his pizza, did his homework and went to his room.
Jack sat on his bed, "I wonder…" he looked at his watch. "Slaying a dragon won't take that long would it?" 'But is it the right thing to do?' said a voice in his head.
Jack thought for a moment. He looked at his wrist, a red dragon was on it, it was his birthmark. He had kept it hidden from his parents by sprinkling special magic powder on it.
He had been told it was his destiny to slay dragons, but that thought was haunting him- Was it really the right thing to do?
He really wasn't sure, part of him thought it was right, while another part of him thought it was wrong.
"Did you find her?" Jake asked a purple dragon.
"Sorry Jake, I looked everywhere," Haley said, flying closer to him "I couldn't find anyplace that's Huntsman lair material."
"Aw man!" Jake moaned, "This all my fault!"
Haley put a hand on Jake's shoulder. "Don't worry Jake, we'll find her. We just have to keep searching."
"But it IS my fault!" Jake flew down to the ground, followed by his sister. "If I wasn't to busy fighting the Huntsmaster, she never would've been taken by the Huntsman."
Rose jumped down from the roof of a house. She was wearing ninja clothes. "I searched everywhere we used to be,"
"All your old hideouts?" Jake asked.
"All of the ones around here." Rose answered.
"Aw man," Jake said, "if I'd have paid more attention, this never would've happened."
"But Ferrell probably went with her," Haley said, trying to cheer them up.
"Do you really think he'll be able to help her escape?" Rose asked.
"Of course!" Haley said.
"I just hope you're right, sis." Jake sighed, "let's go home and rest, we might have better luck tomorrow."
There! How was that? Oh, and sorry I couldn't update earlier, I couldn't upload this chapter yesterday, but no I can! HURRAY! Tomorrow's my last day!
Oh, and remember- A review a chapter makes this dragoness happier! I love that line! I'm a genius, now to make up more rhymes.
