Chapter Seven

"DAD!"

"Uh-oh," Jake said worriedly, he flinched as Violet banged the door open and stomped into the shop.

"What is with the spyin'?" Violet asked.

"I… I wouldn't call it spying,"

"Actually, you did," Farrell commented as he jumped out of Violet's bag. Jake glared at Farrell, "I'm just sayin'," he whimpered.

"Then, what do you call it, dad?" Violet asked.

"I'm just trying to make sure you make the right decision!" Jake reasoned out.

"Newsflash, father, I am not a baby anymore!" Violet said angrily.

"I know! I just want you to make the right decision!" he repeated.

"Which I can without you spying on me," Violet said, "and besides, this matter is supposed to be private! This is my business, dad!"

"It's mine too, because you're my daughter!" Jake yelled.

"Is that the only reason?" Violet asked.

"I… it's… you… it… UGH!" Jake growled in frustration, "I'll find out about this boy in my own ways if I want to, which I do!"

"Well you could have met with him talked to him yourself," Violet reasoned out, "And you could've done that, without sending spies to keep an eye on me!"

She turned around and began to stomp out. "Hey! Where are you going, young lady?" Jake yelled.

"Home!" Violet banged the door shut.

"What is with her?" Jake asked heatedly, "I'm just tryin' to protect her, ya know?"

"Well, she does have a point, sir, you could have met the guy in person," Farrell pointed out.

"Just thinkin' out loud," he said hastily as Jake glared at him.

Jake started locking up the shop, "Where you going?" Farrell asked, following him out.

"Patrolling, I'll be gone most of the night, so go and head home," Jake replied. He turned into his dragon form and flew off.

The black dragon watched as the American Dragon flew about, patrolling the city (which he'd been doing all afternoon). He turned his gaze to the house. 'The girl is probably sleeping by this time, but then again, Jake Long might see me,' the dragon thought, 'Maybe I should take him out first,'

"I am Dark Dragon's Son, I rule in the night!" he flew towards the American Dragon.

He flew over Jake, and dived down on top of him. Jake plummeted down to earth but managed to stop just before he hit the ground. "Where are you?" Jake said out loud. He flew upwards and looked around.

"Show yourself!" he growled.

"I'm right here, American Dragon," said a voice behind him. The black dragon kicked Jake's back.

Jake spun around and breathed fire at him. "You again?"

"Yes, we meet again, dragon," he tried to punch Jake, but the red dragon caught his fist.

"Why are ya doin' this kid?" Jake asked. He caught the dragon's other fist as he tried to punch Jake again.

"Because I want to," the dark dragon (its not in capital letters coz he is a dark dragon and not the Dark Dragon) kicked Jake's chest, causing him to release the dark dragon. "because I want the magical creatures to rise again."

"That's what you want, huh?" Jake kicked the dragon, but he blocked it.

"Shades attack!" he ordered. Soon black shadowy dragon-like creatures appeared and charged at Jake.

"This is just not my night," Jake muttered.

Violet tossed and turned in her bed. She couldn't sleep, She groaned and sat up. 'Maybe I was a little too hard on dad,' she thought.

She hopped out of bed and tiptoed to her parents' room, she slowly opened the door, and saw that her mother had gone to sleep ahead, but her father was no where to be seen.

Violet sighed and carefully closed the door. "Aw man," she sighed, "I must have made dad pretty mad, he hasn't come home yet,"

She was about to go back to her room when she heard footsteps. "Dragon ear," Violet whispered.

Her long, sensitive purple dragon ear replaced her human one. She listened carefully, it sounded like the footsteps of a dragon. 'Could it be dad?' she thought.

'But why would he be coming in his dragon form?' she wondered. Then she remembered the dark dragon.

Violet transformed into her dragon form and followed the sound. The footsteps then seemed to change direction. After a while, they stopped and she heard the flapping of wings.

"Oh no you don't," Violet ran out of the house and began flapping her wings. She flew around her house.

"Where are you?" she wondered. She landed in front of the house and looked around.

"Up here, ya grape!"

A net landed on top of her, it turned her back into her human form the moment it touched her. "Grape? Why a grape?" She asked, trying to untangle herself.

The black dragon lifted her and the net up, "Because grapes are purple and that's the color of your dragon form," he replied, "And those are a few words of wisdom from darky," he said sarcastically.

Violet glared at him, "What've you done to my dad?"

"None of your business," he growled.

"Let me go!" She yelled, she began struggling and wriggling, making it hard for him to hold on to the net.

"Stop that!" he roared.

"Make me!" Violet tried to reach his neck, but the dragon held the net higher.

'I am so gonna regret this!' Violet thought. She grabbed his clawed hand and bit it. The dragon dropped the net in surprise.

Violet stepped out of the net spitting and coughing, "Ech! Yuck! Blech! Dragon hands taste horrible!"

"Prepare yourself, American Dragon," the dark dragon growled.

"How late are you?" Violet asked, shifting into fighting stance in her dragon form.

"That comical sense of humor will be drained from you soon, Violet Long," the dragon aimed a kick at her, but she blocked it with ease.

"Sorry, but I'm keeping it with me, Black Ugly," Violet tried to punch his chest but he jumped backwards before she could hit him.

"Isn't that supposed to be Black Beauty?" he kicked her stomach.

Violet groaned but continued attacking. She punched and kicked, but he blocked most of them. "Yeah, but that doesn't apply to you," Violet swung her tail at him.

The black dragon hadn't expected it and was hit painfully in the chest. "Yeah, the American Dragon's here to kick your rear!" she laughed.

The dragon angrily breathed fire at her but she just flew out of the way. She landed behind him and breathed fire. "Correction- here to burn your rear!" she laughed.

"Funny," he said sarcastically, "But I'd had enough," he growled, "Shades attack!" Black, shadowy dragon-like creatures formed from thin air and charged at her.

"Hey, no fair!" Violet kicked at a Shade that crept up behind her. She punched another and swung her tail at several. Every time she hit a Shade it would disappear and reappear again.

"This is so pointless!" Violet growled, kicking another Shade. It disappeared and reappeared only to attack her again. Violet punched several more Shades before facing the dragon, who looked very annoyed by now.

"I underestimated you Violet Long," he said.

"Yeah, ya sure did," Violet said, facing him. A Shade kicked the back of her head. Violet winced and kicked it, rubbing the back of her head. 'One thing you never seem to learn, Vi,' she thought as she punched another Shade, 'watching your back'. She made a split kick and hit two Shades.

The dragon growled and called out more Shades and soon they were all surrounding her. "So ya want a piece of me?" she said.

"Sorry but ya can't have one. She began kicking and punching, occasionally swinging her tail at them.

But soon what they were waiting for happened. Violet began to grow tired, but she wouldn't give in. She kicked at the dark dragon who joined occasionally.

She'd been fighting for over an hour and was panting heavily. The dark dragon noticed this, "Give up?" he asked.

"Never," Violet panted, "Never… never ever… ever ever never," she swung her tail at them. "Not... in… a million years!"

"I have one thing to say," the dragon said.

Violet didn't reply, she kicked several Shades, panting heavily.

"Good night," the last thing Violet so was a large blue clawed fist before she blacked out.

Well how was that? And was it long enough? I'm not sure, but I think this is my longest chapter ever.
