I have to say, thank you Lavenderpaw! You are the only one who caught that. I was waiting for someone. Phoenixes can't die. Raises questions doesn't it? And did any one notice that Marissa shooed Huntsgirl away for the Griffin's blood? And that wasn't on the list. More questions. Anyway, don't own ADJL. Sorry for the long wait. We just had our first football game. Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter Five

It was a strange sight to see Marissa and Rose walk around town, in their uniforms. Marissa made sure that she had her helmet down and bothered Huntsgirl to make sure no body had no eye contact with her. But it was stranger to see Huntsmaster (any body know his name?) reclining in a chair with two raw steaks on his eyes. His clothes were bloodied and ripped. His lip was busted. Marissa stepped towards him and poke him in the shoulder. He winced and lifted a steak up. His eyes widened. "Yes?" He whispered hoarsely.

"What in God's name happened to you?" Marissa asked, helping him up. (One of her few nice moments.) He winced and began stumbling beside her.

"Your Shadows. They all attacked me." He growled, glaring daggers at Marissa. A wide smile spread across Marissa's face. She looked at Huntsmaster up and down then laughed so much, tears starting streaming down her cheeks.

"My God, you're more pathetic than I thought. They're weak. They hardly even strong. They keep on disappearing. That's why we are collecting these things." Marissa opened the bag a bit and shook it. Huntsmaster's jaw dropped. It was more that he could get in a year. "These will strengthen them. I'll have a talk to them." She told him, closing the bag and heading up the steps. They entered the building and Marissa snapped the door shut.

Suldaken grinned. He had just saw his necklace. It was on a woman. A tall woman with long blonde hair, stunning blue eyes, and pale skin. She had a certain aura of evil around her. He had already decided that he was going to watch her for a bit. Maybe he could trick her. His grin grew more evil as a plan formed in his mind.

Marissa was her room alone. Huntsmaster was busy nursing his wounds with some medicine Marissa had conjured up. Rose had gone to practice some of her new moves. A large cauldron was spitting out green fog that swirled into shapes of magical creatures and objects. Marissa added the dragon saliva. The cauldron hissed and turned a black and purple color. Marissa glanced around her. Huntshadows were kneeling down patiently, waiting for their power up. Marissa scooped the soup and placed it to her lips. The liquid had a tart taste. The Huntshadows began to grow. Their muscles grew twenty times their sizes. The room began to get cramped. They disappeared. In their secret place, they would finish their growing. They would be back to their normal size before she got weak again, which was a good reminder for her to strengthen up. And they would be ready to kill. Marissa opened the black bag and took out a vial full of Griffin's blood.

Marissa opened it and chugged it down unhappily. Marissa's eyes snapped open and she smiled. The Phoenix would be used later. She grabbed the staff. It had turned black. A large purple ball was on it's side. Black spots covered the purple ball. She stroked the ball and looked up. Her eyes found a mirror. She looked exactly normal. She would look exactly normal to everyone. But she was not. And the dragon would soon find out.

What did she do? Will Jake be safe? What about that Phoenix? Review! I don't have anything to give ya'll. Except for Bubblegum. You want it? Review!

Teenchic2004: I'm glad you liked her. She's kind of based on me but kind of not too. You get it? Wow. Maybe I should have a list of what you do and don't like. Oh! The sequel of Rainbow Dragon is up and running! Yay! (Hands you lemonade.)

YFWE: You need Sprite? It's in my sequel of Rainbow Dragon (Colors of the Rainbow) Hahaha. But here is some Skittles left from my Super Bag. Yes you do need a life. And a new saying other than "Show 'em my motto!" Sprite Motto stealer! It's okay, me and my friends were doing all these commercial mottos just to stay awake!

CelloSolo2007: Wasn't it your birthday sometime late august? If it was, Happy Belated Birthday! I LOVE Diet Coke! I have like a bunch of Diet Coke in a closet, even though I don't need it either! Here is yours and here is mine! Drink up!

Worker72: Okay, I understand now! Blonde here! True. True. But you'll figure out something later about that spell. Here's a Coke!

LavenderPaw: Thank you again for seeing that! They're not suppose to die Ha! You get a soda, and Skittles. You are correct about Phoenixes. Good Job!
