Chapter 10 Things are set straight.

Hunter for some reason passed out too. However when he woke he was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital. His stretched out and wondered how he got here, however that soon changed when he saw Kane laying in one of the beds, he was in his human form. Hunter carefully approached the bedside looking down at him. "Damn, how the hell did you survive that?" Hunter asked him, he watched as Kane's eyes twitched open slowly. A small grin came across Kane's face.

"You would be surprised… I've been through worst" Kane smirked. Hunter smiled back. "Hey, Steph is gonna be ok, as are the other students. And Hunter… thank Chris for me, not telling the secrete and all? He's a super guy," he asked him. Hunter smiled just as the door burst open. Rando's father Mr. Malcoy stormed in and went to Kane's beside.

"He is no student!" Mr. Malcoy screamed. "He is to be banished! I will not tolerate a half breed such has him in this school!" he ordered.

"Half breed? What the hell are you talking about?" demanded Hunter. "Kane here is all sorcerer!"

Mr. Malcoy glared at Kane with disgust. "If there is one thing I can't stand besides a half human sorcerer. Is a dragon sorcerer! There is no way he should still be alive with the story I heard. Being burning by the venom of a giant snake my ass! If that were true, he would be dead!" he hissed. Just then Taker Darcodorf entered the room. He was reinstated as the headmaster of Griffengree. Hunter saw the mist come off the ground; all the paintings on the wall were in hiding of his presence. Hunter and Mr. Malcoy just watched as Professor Darcodorf made his way into the room without saying a word. He stood at Kane's bedside, his eyes looked from under the dark hat; glaring right at Mr. Malcoy. He heard him screaming Kane wasn't a real student.

Taker didn't seem to surprise at the allegations. All he said was. "Well then, I would like to see your proof" with an 'I dare you' look, Mr. Malcoy glared at him. Reaching into his pocket he took out a piece of red and black scaly skin.

"It's his. My son found this!" he explained. Taker looked at it and simply nodded. Taking the material from Mr. Malcoy. He stretched it and felt it.

"Ah yes, dragon skin, very strong and hard to destroy I know. Tell me though if the student in question here is a dragon… why isn't he one right now? I mean look at him. He seems weak and unable to defend himself. Isn't the most logical thing to be is in your normal state to heal faster?" Darcodorf questioned. Mr. Malcoy wasn't impressed.

"I can prove it!" he hissed. He took the skin from Darcodorf's hands. Walking up to Kane's bedside Malcoy glared down at him. "Show me your back!" he ordered. Kane paused as he looked at Hunter with an uncertain look. His eyes looked to Darcodorf who did a small nod to him. "DO IT!" Mr. Malcoy hissed, with great hesitation Kane rolled over onto his back. "Take off his bandages" he hissed to Hunter. Hunter nodded, and with great care he took off the bandages. Much to everyone's shock, there was a large burn wound on Kane's back. However Malcoy placed the dragon skin on it. Nothing happened. "What!" he hissed.

"Nope he's no dragon. Now Mr. Malcoy, I insist on having a word with you as Kane here recovered from his wound… NOW!" Taker Darcodorf hissed in anger back. His eyes were gone from green to white, which meant he was pissed off beyond any sorcerer's comprehension. Mr. Malcoy gulped his pride and Taker Darcodorf took him out of the room. Kane rested on his back again and smirked.

"You know, forget about being a sorcerer, I should be an actor!" Kane laughed, however Hunter knew Kane wouldn't joke after a serious situation like that.

"It's a good thing that Taker Darcodorf knew how to make the shape shifting power huh Chris?" Hunter asked as he looked down at Kane. Kane's eyes widened.

"Damn, you knew it was me!"

Hunter smirked. "Dude, you heard what Darcodorf said, in his real form Kane would heal faster, and why the hell would Kane compliment you? You're a pain in the ass!" he whispered. Hunter went to the bed next to Chris, he pulled back the curtain and there was Stephoine at Kane's bedside. Kane was in his true form. A red and black dragon, sleeping silently on the bed.

"Wow… I never knew… Kane… of all people" she explained.

"Steph, that's the secrete we need to keep. No one must know of this" Hunter ordered. She nodded in full agreement.

"The nurse said he will be fine by tomorrow, his wings will take time to grow back." She explained. Chris got out of the bed and looked around.

"Dude… you know being this tall… I can see a lot of things I couldn't before?" Chris laughed. Hunter rolled his eyes at his friend.

"Savor it for a while Chris, you only got half an hour left as being Kane…" Stephoine reminded him.

A Large grin came across his face. "Sweet, I need to get back at Adam and Jason…" with that Chris swiftly left the room as Hunter smirked.

Later on…

Hunter went to Taker Darcodorf's office; he knocked to see if he was there. "Hello… Mr. Darcodorf?" he called out. Darcodorf came out from the shadows. "Whoa! Damn, you scared me" he laughed. Taker smirked.

"What can I do you for Hunter?" he asked.

Hunter summoned his strength and looked to the headmaster. "I know Showgrid didn't open the chamber, he didn't even take care of the creature that nearly killed me. He's innocent!" Hunter stated.

Taker merely nodded. "I am fully aware of that Hunter. Showgrid is on his way back I assure you. Now anything else you wanted to talk to me about?"

Hunter was stunned that Taker knew he had more on his mind. "Back in the chamber… the snake… at the first school year I as going to go to Scaleyarse. But that changed, I went to Griffengree instead… why? Why was I able to defeat that thing?" Hunter asked.

"Well mainly it's dumb ass luck, not to mention you got courage, no doubt you got that from your dad." He smirked. "And you knew you had to, with all the people at stake, your friend Stephoine frozen in stone. Kane who needed medical attention as soon as possible after he risked his very life for you, you know you have to do what you had to do. Not to mention you wanted to embarrass the hell out of Goldhart and showing everyone how much of a fake he is" Taker stated. "It's not every day someone saves my little brother you know…"

Hunter's eyes widened as he looked at Darcodorf. "You're little brother?" he whispered. Taker smirked, and simply nodded. Hunter smiled back. "No wonder you were pissed at Mr. Malcoy…"

"That stays between us you hear me?" Taker ordered. Hunter nodded, with that he walked out of the room. Taker watched on and smirked. "Not a bad kid, pity about his house elf though… oh well!" Taker grinned as we went back to doing some paper work.
