I don't own American Dragon.

Chapter Four

Huntsgirl appeared by Marissa's side who had a fistful of phoenix feathers and blood covered her fist. "It didn't want to be helpful so I had to use force." She muttered, opening the black bag, which had mysteriously appeared again.

"What did you do?" Huntsgirl asked. Marissa looked up.

"I bashed the stupid bird against the rock. Can you go get it? I might need more phoenix feathers." She said, jerking her head right. Huntsgirl looked over and gasped. The phoenix was laying on the ground dead. It's blood covered some of the rock.

"They're endangered species!" Huntsgirl cried out, taking the dead bird back to Marissa. Marissa stuffed it into her bag and shrugged. She checked another thing off her scroll and turned to Rose.

"Did you get Dragon Saliva?" Marissa asked.

"No. You didn't tell me.." Huntsgirl said but Marissa stopped her, looking dangerous.

"Do I have to tell you everything? Can't you do anything yourself? You are Huntsmaster's niece." Marissa snapped, making the scroll disappear. There was a dangerous glint in her eyes. Huntsgirl felt herself go hot.

"I'm sorry. I can still get it! I have an idea..." She started but once again Marissa stopped her again.

"You have to have a brain to have an idea. You're uncle certainly doesn't show it. Neither do you. Now, lets go. Griffin feather is next on the list." She spat before the shadows grabbed her and put her under. Huntsgirl mentally kicked herself. Think what Headmistress wants before doing anything, she told herself before doing the same thing.

The Griffin was growling when they appeared. It screeched and snapped at Huntsgirl. Huntsgirl backed up, barely dodging it. Marissa walked forward cautiously. The Griffin watched Marissa carefully. Marissa slowly walked towards the nest. She bent down slowly and clutched some Griffin feathers. Marissa stood up and showed the Griffin the feathers. The Griffin sniffed the feathers then settled back into her nest. The Griffin put it's head under its wings. Marissa reached towards the neck of the Griffin and moved some of it's feathers around. "Huntsgirl, go and make some trouble somewhere. Get the Dragon saliva." Marissa suddenly snapped, turning her head towards Huntsgirl.

Huntsgirl nodded. The hands came back and slid her into the hole. Marissa turned back to the Griffin. "This might hurt a bit, dear." Marissa said softly to the Griffin, taking out a silver knife. She spread the feathers back so Marissa could see the bare skin. A Huntshadow appeared by Marissa's side, holding a vial out. Marissa cut the skin and blood began to drip into the vial. The Griffin flinched a bit then stayed stock-still. Once the vial was full, Marissa pulled out a another vial full of clear jelly. She rubbed it on the Griffin's wound and stood up. She placed everything back into the black bag and pulled some of the Griffin's wing feathers. "Thanks." Marissa told it before disappearing.

Huntsmaster stumbled out into the street. He grabbed the trashcan for support. He breathed in and out heavily before straightening himself up and wincing. He walked towards some shop windows so he could see what the Huntshadows had done to him. His body was bruised. He had two black eyes, a bloody and broken nose, and a busted lip. He whimpered a bit then walked towards a meat market.

"Hello, how may I help you..." The man said, looking up. "Whoa. What happened to you?" He asked. Huntsmaster said nothing but placed twenty dollars on the counter. The man frowned but handed him two steaks. Huntsmaster limped his way over to a table and opened the steaks. He slapped both of them over his eyes and laid in his chair.

Marissa appeared by Huntsgirl's side. She was chasing some fairies around in the park, trying to snatch them with a bottle. Marissa laughed at Huntsgirl's futile attempts. "Good try, Huntsgirl, but that won't work." Marissa called to her. Huntsgirl walked over to her, breathing rapidly. "Watch for the American Dragon." Marissa told her, opening her black bag. She pulled out a long bottle. In the bottle was a small bee. But not any bee. A large bee with four arms and four wings. It had big red eyes and a mischievous grin on it's face. Instead of the yellow and black, it was red and black. She opened it up and the bee zoomed out and looked up at Marissa.

"Jamos!" Marissa cried, rubbing the bee's spine with one long finger. "Pesky Fairies dear. Go and get Mommy some." She cooed. The bee nodded it's large head and zoomed towards the fairies. The fairies shrieked and tried to get away but Jamos grabbed the hems of their skirts and yanked them towards Marissa. Marissa pulled out yet another vial, and took one of the fairies. Marissa placed it in the bottle, closed it, then shook it violently. A small chuckling laughter could be heard from the bee's mouth.

Huntsgirl was too busy staring at the bee, if it was called that, to see the American Dragon coming their way. When she did, it was too late. The dragon head butted Huntsgirl. Marissa saw Huntsgirl fly towards the tree and quickly turned to the bee. The bee dropped all the other fairies into the bottle and Marissa shook it some more. Piles of fairy dust was laying at the bottom of the vial. Marissa opened it and the fairies zoomed out. Marissa closed the vial and placed it into the bag. "Jamos, go and help Huntsgirl." Marissa called out to the large bee, who nodded enthusiastically.

Jamos zoomed straight for the dragon's face. Jamos hid his grin and stung him on his nose. "OW!" The dragon cried out, holding it's nose. Huntsgirl leaped on him, slamming him to the ground. Marissa brought out the staff and pointed it at the dragon.

"Verveeta." She whispered. The dragon froze, his mouth open. Marissa walked over to the dragon and pulled out another empty vial. How many does she have, Rose thought. "Stick out your tongue, dragon." The dragon stuck out it's tongue. A look of horror came across the dragon's face. He couldn't control himself! Marissa waited till a small drop of saliva dropped into the vial. She closed the vial up. "Come, Jamos, back home. In you go." She called. Jamos flew into the vial. She closed it shut then zipped her bag up. It disappeared.

"You have twenty-eight more minutes, dragon. Go into the tree and hide. Make sure no one can see you. Then, you wait till your twenty-eight minutes are up." Marissa said. The dragon leaped up and hid itself in the tree.

"Why are you making him do that? Tell him to morph back to human!" Huntsgirl hissed. Marissa turned towards her.

"Are you questioning me? The only reason I will not tell him to do that is because it is no fun. No, lets go home." She snapped, waiting for the hands to grab them. Nothing happened. "Curses. We'll have to do it the old way. Follow me." Marissa cursed, walking forward. Huntsgirl followed silently.

Do you like it? Why does she have Griffin's blood? Review! Oh, I got nothing but Soda. Anything particular soda you want? If not, it's Coke!
