Chapter Three: A Lucky Shot

"Dragon," muttered Huntsgirl as she saw me approaching. Usually, I would have said something along the lines of, "Hey, hot stuff. Miss me?" But tonight I was silent. "Listen," I said cautiously, taking a deep breath. "I really need you to stop picking on that leprechaun, okay? I…" I couldn't do this.

"What? You think I'm just gonna drop it and let it go? That I'm going to all of a sudden stop because you're being polite? I don't think so!"

This wasn't working. I couldn't do this. I turned around sharply, and as I did so, my tail hit Huntsgirl in the stomach. She flew across the building and landed near the edge, groaning. I gasped, then paused, stuck between going to help her and turning away. Before I could do anything, however, Huntsman went to her side and said, "That was a lucky shot, Dragon. We will meet again." And then with a flash of green light, they disappeared.

The young leprechaun girl beamed at me, still clutching her gold tightly. "Thank-yee, Dragon," she said in her Irish accent.

"Uh...no biggie."

She laughed then said, "Me name's Amanda. Mandie for short."

"Great. Thanks," I said, turning away. I was in no mood for chatting.

"Wait! Could a good man like you please help return a leprechaun to the ground?"

I frowned, wondering why she was on the roof anyway. I didn't have to wait long to know the answer, however. On our way down to the ground, she told me something along the lines of her boyfriend, Victor, had taken her up to the rooftop for a date, and when the Huntsclan had come, he had fled without taking her.

When we hit the ground and I had morphed back into human form, Trixie and Spud came running over. "Yo, Jakie!" said Trixie, "I saw the whole thing! I told you you could do it!"

"Yeah, totally," I muttered. I then said good bye to Mandie, warning her to be careful. Then Trixie, Spud, and I skateboarded away. All the way home, my buds congratulated me and informed me that they knew that I could do it. But all I could think about was that I really didn't do it. Huntsman was right: I did have a lucky shot. I was never going to be able to face Rose again. Little did I know at the time, I would be coming face to face with her very soon...

A/N: How was that? Honestly, but please don't be too harsh. Hee, hee. I'm still kinda establishing the setting and story, but there should be more action later. Anyway, please read and review, and I'll update ASAP.
