I have finally updated! Yes I have!

I was having a hell of a time as to whether Jake and Rose should adopt Cassie. For now, you guys get your wish, but it is instrumental in my story, and maybe certain circusmstances might change that ;)

So yeah! Quite a long chapter, but hopefully enjoyable :D Also, I have gotten people's answers for what happened to Bridge, and have now made a poll so that even those that don't wish to review [for whatever reason] can also vote! All the choices have been given to me, you might not agree with them, but they're there nonetheless! Please vote, and let me know what you think! Finish reading this chapter first, as your opinion might change or not ;)

Luiz4200: Nope, Jake doesn't know about James, but James knows that Jake's the American Dragon, and from his point of view, he's thinking: if the American Dragon finds out that Bridge was dating a Huntsclan member, Jake's going to blame James. Hmm, it's certainly a possibility, trying to piss parents off by working with the enemy :P Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

godzilla90fan: Don't worry, that's not going to happen...yet :) Hmm, the dark dragon...I'm going to say no, mainly because supposedly, in here, he's locked away in a temple for 1000 years...the rest of the season did happen in some way or another, meaning the 1000 year toast and all of the fiasco did happen, just differently :P I don't know, I'll definetly think about it! Enjoy the chapter!

Onej6: Oy! Why you irish all of a sudden? :/ haha, anyway, yep, this is going to be one hell of a story, I think that out of all the five stories in the series, this is probably the most intense :/ They do have a very bad case...and they're not the only ones, as you'll see here ;) Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

Wolvmbm: Hmm, never thought about the holidays, but good point :P Well, that reaction was going to be expected, they've lost their daughter, and have no idea what has happened to her, so they would be devastated :P Agreed! It is going to be a long adventure! :D Will do, and enjoy the chapter!

Everyone else: Please review!

==Later on that night

"Cassie, you're still going to visit me right?" Holly asked.

"Of course! I'm just helping them, not ditching you! Plus, they might not agree to it you know." Cassie tried assuring Holly, her now younger sister.

They were both in their Guardian personas, perched on a tree in Central Park, waiting to see if there would be any trouble. One thing Cassie truly wondered was how Violet got introduced into the world of magical creatures, since she didn't seem to be an orphan, or a magical creature herself. However, Cassie's thoughts were broken as they spotted Huntress, walking somewhere, but Cassie wasn't going to take any chances.

"Stay here ok?" Cassie whispered, jumping down from the tree and making herself known.

"A new Protector? Hmm, do you guys not have enough to do, or were you punished and sent here to survive?" Huntress sneered.

"Have nothing better to do?" Avenger spat, powering up her staff.

"Than killing magical creatures and making the rest suffer? Nope, it's what I live for." Huntress teased.

"Then you have another thing coming!" A voice piped up.

Huntress turned around and saw Holly, who had come down from the tree and was now poised to attack.

"A child? Are these the only people you can convince to join?" Huntress drawled.

Cassie growled, but first had to get Holly out of there. "Stay back Pacifist, I'll handle that monster!"

"Monster? Trust me, you haven't seen anything yet." Huntress scoffed, taking her staff out, and charging Cassie.

Cassie and Huntress started fighting, blocking each other completely, both of them pissed.

"Give up kid, and I might spare you!" Huntress growled, as she tried jabbing at Cassie.

Cassie brought her staff to block the jab, getting the two tangled, battling for dominance. "So that you can go and kill some poor soul? No thanks, but you can quit anytime, no one's stopping you!" Cassie cried, as she managed to break free from that.

They continued like that for a while, no one winning, but they occasionally got a slash in.

Knight decided to see how Cassie and Holly were doing, and was met with the scene of her sister, and her adopted daughter fighting each other quite ferociously. Holly was watching from the sidelines, sickened so much, she was immobile.

Knight went and hugged Holly, blocking her view of the fight for one moment. "You ok sweetie?"

"Mom? Yeah, I just.." Holly mumbled, not knowing what to say.

"Listen to me Holly, go home and stay there ok? I'll solve everything." Violet instructed Holly.

"But-" Holly was about to object.

"Holly, go back home!" Violet said, a bit more sternly. Once she saw Holly leaving, she rounded to the fight going on. "Get away from her bitch!" She exclaimed.

"Oh goody, a challenge." Huntress smirked. "Sorry kid, no offense but, get some better fighting skills."

Cassie had done the big mistake of letting her guard down once Violet came into the field, so she didn't realize, until it was too late, that Huntress neared her staff, and electrocuted her a bit, making Cassie fall unconscious.

"Brilliant, anything else you want to do to her?" Violet asked, deadpan.

"No, I'm good. Who is this clown?" Huntress said, nudging the body of the unconscious Protector.

"That was Cassie" Violet replied. "And I think she's pretty good to have fended you off."

"Touche, I was just bringing her down a notch." Huntress smirked. "Come on, we should get her somewhere away from here"

"If you come back home, Holly's going to be asking some questions." Violet cringed.

"We'll take her to Jake." Huntress conceded.

==Long Household

Jake was getting ready to go to sleep, when he saw a bright flash come from the living room. He approached the living room, and saw Huntress, Knight and someone else there, who was a bit mangled, and Jake would be ready to bet his money that that was due to Rose.

"Did someone decide to have a sleepover here without my knowledge?" Jake growled.

"Wow Dragon, are you that drunk that you're actually kind today? And you didn't swear! Lucky day for me." Knight sneered.

"Jake look, I hurt Cassie, and I felt bad for that, so I want to make it up to her, and I can't help her at Violet's house can I?" Huntress explained.

"Fine. But we're not going to turn this into a hospital!" Jake retorted.

"Who said anything about that, dragon!" Knight snorted.

==Some minutes later.

Rose was done treating her wounds, which thankfully weren't that bad. Doing that reminded her so much of Bridge, and Rose felt an urge to hug the girl, and she did just that.

"You want to reconsider my offer?" An amused voice spoke out behind Rose, scaring the hell out of her.

"Vi, I don't know..." Rose sighed.

"Come on Rose! I'm not asking you to do it permanently!" Violet pleaded.

Jake came inside the room, and added. "Even if we were to take her in, how would Bridge react to seeing her? She would think that we said good riddance, and started a new life without her."

"Look, I'm sure that's not going to be her reaction. She left for 3 years, and everyone can prove that we searched high and low for her. If she wants to stay hidden, you two shouldn't waste yourselves to death, therefore, taking care of Cassie would remedy that." Violet explained.

"And what happens if she comes back? How do you want us to explain it?" Rose asked. "And I'm not going to lie to her, not again."

"Rose, we'll think of something. We can just say you were watching her for a while, or something. What do you say?"

Before any of them could reply, a groan was heard from Cassie as she woke up. "She can pack a punch, that's for sure." Cassie murmured, flinching, without looking up.

"How do you feel?" Violet asked.

Cassie looked up and did a double take. "Uh, I think I'm seeing doubles."

Violet and Rose then realized their predicament.

"I'm Rose" Rose said. Rose was at least thankful that she had enough brains to have covered up her mark, as to not freak yet another person out with it. "I'm Violet's sister."

"I can figure that out, but, Holly never mentioned this." Cassie explained, confused.

"It's a long story. To make it short, Holly doesn't know I have a sister." Violet shrugged the matter off.

"Oh. I guess." Cassie nodded.

"And the statue behind me is Jake, my husband." Rose smirked.

"Hi." Jake growled.

"And I thought I was the grouchy one." Cassie mumbled.

Violet burst out laughing. "Thank you! Someone else agrees with me! Anyway, Cassie, let's get you something to eat."

Violet helped Cassie up, and Cassie couldn't help but feel that there was something off with this couple. Like they were hiding something. They reached the kitchen where Jake savagely grabbed a pan and went to go and prepare something.

"Hey kid! You won't believe what the old man did today... oh boy." Fu Dog had just walked in, not noticing that Cassie was there. Once he did see her, he paled. Jake and Rose were already on a short fuse, but with Fu blabbing, there was only one thing left:

"FU!" Jake and Rose exploded.

"A talking dog, you guys are also part of the magical community!" Cassie was shocked, to say the least.

"And who're you supposed to be?" Fu asked.

"Name's Cassie, or Avenger." Cassie shrugged.

"Uh, Avenger for what?" Fu Dog asked.

"I want to avenge my parents, and idiots like the Huntsclan." Cassie venomously replied. It was thankful that she was looking at Fu, or else she would have seen Rose flinch visibly.

However, Jake was not swayed. He just blew a fuse. "I don't care who you freaking want to avenge! Neither, Fu, do I want to know what the hell Gramps did today! I want to find my daughter, and I don't want to hear anything else, that doesn't have to do with it!"

"Hey! Calm down Mr. High and Mighty! Who do you think you are to talk this way!" Cassie jumped up and retorted.

Jake transformed into his dragon form and as he let some fumes from his nostril, he approached Cassie, and breathed. "I'm the American Dragon, who lost his daughter! So leave me the fuck alone!" Jake replied, storming off.

"He should take his anger out on the Huntsclan, not on everyone else. Plus it's been three years, can't he realize that-" Cassie was going on, blabbing, but stopped when she noticed that her next comment would make everyone else quite depressed. While she may not believe that the dragon girl was alive, that didn't mean she had to sadden both Rose and Violet.

"Realize what kid?" Fu asked.

"That, erm, that he should get out more!" Cassie nervously replied.

"Anyway. We should get going." Violet shook her head. "You ok Cassie?"

"Yeah, I'm good." Cassie replied, shrugging.

"Just give us a second Cassie, I need to talk to my sister." Violet said, dragging said woman to the living room.

"Yeah?" Rose asked, raising an eyebrow.

"So I take this to mean you're not going to adopt Cassie?" Violet asked, getting to the heart of the matter.

"Vi, I want to, but we can't. Jake is just too angry. And I won't be there always to keep him on a leash. Not to mention what'll happen if Bridge comes back." Rose shook her head.

"Ok, but if you guys can't pull your act together, I'm force feeding her on you." Violet threatened. "I'm just trying to help you guys. Try to realize that."

==Going to Violet's House

"You're going to have to attend school." Violet stated, matter-of-factly.

"What! Why!" Cassie whined.

"Because you're 16 years old, and you have to!" Violet replied, smiling.

"Oh come on! I don't want to be tortured!" Cassie groaned.

"You're going, and that's final." Violet stated. "We're signing you up tomorrow."

==The next day

"Mrs. Hall? He will see you now." The secretary said, beckoning Violet and Cassie inside.

Cassie was shocked at what she saw inside the office. It was filled with various types of yarns, of all colours, and at the center of it all, was a man, with very little hair, and was furiously knitting. He looked up from what he was doing and saw Violet and Cassie. He then exclaimed in a thick German accent, "Vhat! Another vone? Ei thought yu vere still missing vone?"

He clearly mistook Violet for Rose. "No, I'm Violet Hall, Mr.-"

"PRINCIPAL PROFESSOR Rotwood!" He corrected, jumping up.

Cassie thought the German was joking, but noticed from his wild eyes that he was completely serious. Cassie wanted to burst out laughing at the ridiculous scene.

"Anyway. I came here to register Cassie."

"Very vell, let's get ze papers readie."

==Mrs. Norman's Mythology Class

"Mr. Drew! Get your facts straight! Unicorns have one horn! Hence the name UNIcorn. If they had two, they would be called BIhorns!" Mrs. Norman lividly replied.

There was a knock on the door, in which everyone breathed out in relief, knowing that Mrs. Norman would delay her rampage. She opened the door, staring down at whoever was outside.

It was a teenage girl. She had relatively long brown hair, and green eyes. She handed a note to Mrs. Norman, who said nothing as she turned around and walked to her desk.

The girl stayed standing, not knowing what to do. Mrs. Norman saw that and screeched, "Do you need an invitation! Take a seat!"

"No, but it seems like you need some anger management classes." Cassie mumbled. The class flinched, knowing this wouldn't end well for the new girl.

"Is that it? Well, how about this, you join me for detention after school, for the rest of the week, and we can discuss about that." Mrs. Norman stated, smirking, mocking Cassie.

"No thanks." Cassie stated.

"Then sit down! And don't start muttering about what you don't know!" Mrs. Norman yelled.

Cassie took her seat at the back of the room, beside an African American girl.

"Is Mrs. Norman always in that mood?" Cassie asked.

"Kind of." The girl replied, shrugging her shoulders.

The rest of the class went by pretty slow. Then it was time for lunchtime, and Cassie wondered who she should sit with. She saw the girl from her Mythology class, sitting with two other guys. One with sandy hair, the other with black hair.

"Can I sit with you guys?" Cassie asked, nearing the table. All three kids looked up and when they saw her, they smiled.

"Sure! I'm Art by the way." The African American girl replied.

"I'm Fitz." The sandy-haired boy waved.

"Name's James." The black haired teen mumbled.

"I'm Cassie." Cassie smiled.

They enjoyed a nice lunch, getting to know each other. Cassie could feel that there was some animosity in the air, but she couldn't figure out what it was. Cassie pushed the matter out of her mind, happy she had new friends.

==Late that night, Central Park

Peter Avezon had been pretty successful in his revolt, but the Huntsclan and the monsters still weren't tearing each other apart. He had to meet with those disgusting creatures again, to solve that little bump.

'You called us?" A voice rasped from the shadows.

"I want you to get me the body of the American Dragon's daughter." Avezon ordered.

"What do you mean?" The creature asked.

"I want her dead body. Remember that you killed her 3 years ago?" Avezon felt like he was trying to talk to a 5 year old. These creatures could be so idiotic!

"Ahhhh, yes of course. You wish for her body. Understood. We'll get it for you in one week." The creature replied, emotionless.

"Very well, meet me right here, in one week. Or else." Avezon stated, leaving.

==The home of the creature.

"What did the idiot want?" The creature's leader asked.

"The body of the American Dragon's girl." The creature replied.

"But we don't have it." Another creature replied.

"Yes, it is an unfortunate accident that that has happened. She is pretty much dead, as far as everyone is concerned. But no matter, dig up another body, and we'll outfit her as the dragon. They won't know the difference." The leader replied.

Ooooh! Have I confused you enough? Remember, people are deceitful and are very often deceived ;)

Anyway, next update will be for Spies!

And snippet time!

"There's going to be a party."

"What could they want?"

"Jake, let's try to make this right."

"Rose..."

"I don't date"

"Oh, you guys knew Bridge too?"

"Welcome! I have here, exciting news!"

"Here is the body of the ex-American Dragon! she is DEAD!"

"Jake-"

"This isn't going to end well."

"Party's over!"

What's going to happen? Who knows? I do! Please review, and vote on the poll!

Enjoy!
