A/N: Okay, here is chapter 13.

Chapter Thirteen: The Attack

"Dragon," came the oily voice of Huntsman. "I know you are in here. Come out, come out, wherever you are. We are not playing hide and seek."

My heart skipped a beat as another voice chimed in. It was Huntsgirl. "Come on Dragon! How low can you go? I can't believe that the 'great' American Dragon has sunk so low that he's hiding...just because he stupidly fell for a trap that we designed."

My temper lost control of me. I ignored Fu, who was trying to stop me and jumped out from behind the desk. "Yo, I'm not stupid...and I'm not a coward. Powers or not, I'm going to face you!"

"Then so be it," said Huntsman. He snapped his gloved fingers and several members of the clan walked into the room. "Seize the boy," he ordered.

Instantly, the Huntsclan advanced toward me. I jumped onto the desk and leaped over two of their heads, landing on a third. "Yeah!" I crowed, and then darted for the door. Huntsgirl barred my way. "Yo, please get out of my way!"

"Okay, let me think about it...no! Shut up, dragon. You're just a big idiot who's fallen for our trap."

I stepped back, feeling like I'd been slapped. Sure, it was Huntsgirl who had said it, but I saw her as..."Rose," I muttered. Then I added, "How could you?"

"What?" said the girl, taken aback. "What did you just say?"

I decided that it would be better for me to tell her myself who I was so that she didn't force it out of me. It might be less painful that way. "I said Rose. I know who you are. You're Rose. And
I'm-" I was cut short as a large hand was clapped over my mouth. I looked up into the eyes of...Huntsmaster!

"Having a little chat with Huntsgirl?" he said evilly. "Well, tea time is over." I attempted to bite his hand as I struggled to get away from him, but his grip was too tight. "Sorry, boy. Take him away."

I struggled desperately as two members of the clan tied my hands behind my back. I managed to bite Huntsmaster's hand hard enough so that I had time to yell, "Fu, help me!"before the man threatened to slay me right on the spot if I didn't shut up. Then he demanded, "Whoever's back there, come out!"

"I'll save you Jake!" I didn't really have much hope though as Fu Dog jumped out, trying to do some form of kung-fu/karate. But even the tiniest spark of hope was shut out when he tripped over his wrinkles while attempting to do some sort of Matrix move or something. A member of the clan took his huntsstick and hit Fu on the head with it. He started to pick him up to take him along as well, but then Huntsman shook his head. "Leave him. We have enough baggage already."

I struggled harder than ever as I was pushed to my feet and forced to walk out the door and to the Huntsclan's transportation device. "Forget it boy. Those ropes are pure sphinx hair." I gulped. They could take of the mask anytime they wanted to. I looked desperately over my shoulder, but the last glimpse I got of Granpa's shop before I was forced to board the device was Fu lying unconscious on the floor.

A/N: I know-intense huh? I hoped you liked it. Since I've already got 13 done tonight, I'll probably be able to update ch.14 tomorrow morning if I don't sleep until time to go to church. Anyway, I will update ASAP, and sorry I left you hanging like that.
