This is my first American Dragon fan fic so please don't flame. However comments and constructive criticism are welcomed. I don't own American Dragon Jake Long.

Chapter 1:

"You're not getting away that easily!" Huntsmaster said angrily firing green rays toward a helpless creature running and trying to fly for its life.

"Huntsgirl help me. It's getting away!" Rose looked on torn between her conscience and her duty. "Master it's just a little dragon. It's too small to be good prey don't you think?" She protested.

"Don't question my judgment and help me. Since you still have to work on slaying your first dragon why don't you start with this one?" He answered her.

Number 88 and 89 jumped up and down in anticipation. "Yo Huntsmaster! 89 and I could take care of that dragon scum. You just say the word and we will totally slay that dragon!" 88 asked hopefully.

Huntsmaster regarded them then shook his head. "No. This is an assignment for more experienced huntsclan member. Dragons no matter how young can be very powerful creatures. Huntsgirl has already shown her skill when she slain the American Dragon. Now go after the dragon girl. Unless you think you can't handle a little dragon!" The huntsman ordered. Rose bowed her head respectively. "Yes Huntsmaster." She got out her glider and started chasing the young dragon.

The little dragon did her best to fly faster but she her wings could only beat so fast. She turned her head and noticed a girl on a glider chasing her without mercy. Without looking where she was going she crashed into a building. She blackened out just as the huntsgirl landed her glider right beside her.

Rose inspected the little dragon. It can't be much more then five years old. She mused to herself. She held out her staff getting ready for the kill but before she did any thing she remembered Jake. Jake was a dragon and I didn't kill him. Why should this one be any different? She put down her hunts staff and picked up the dragon. She carefully put the dragon over her shoulder and headed to Lao Shi's electronic store. "I can't help you little one but I might as well take you to someone who can." She said softly to the little blue dragon.
