==Hunter's Room

James entered his room, and tensed up as he sensed someone else in his room. He slammed the door to not let the intruder leave, and growled. "You picked a very bad day asshole. Show yourself!"

The intruder chuckled. "You're a proper gentleman, but is that any way to treat me?"

James turned on the light, and saw someone he never thought he would see again. "What the hell do you want? How're you alive? !"

"Nice to see you too. Now, what I want, is your help-"

"Why in this freaking world would I help you?" James wasn't going to give in easily, that was for sure. He was contemplating gutting the pretentious idiot right there and then, but held off, if last time didn't work, why would it now?

"Because I can help you extract revenge on those you want."

"And what makes you say I want revenge on anyone?" James scoffed.

"Because I can see it James. Plus, are you really doing anything in this hellhole? No, you aren't. With me James, I will tell you secrets of the Huntsclan, and you'll understand everything. Don't you want that? Don't you want revenge on those who led you to where you are right now?"

James gasped. "How do you know about that?"

"Come with me, and I'll show you everything I know." They smirked, extending their hand.

James furrowed his eyebrows, and narrowing his eyes, made his decision.

==Huntress' room

Bridge had realized that she would have to explain her story to lots of people. She knew that Violet would be one of them, but the Huntsgirl? She was definitely caught off guard.

Both newcomers were just gaping comically. Violet recovered first. "You-"

Bridge just smirked. "Yeah, I'm alive."

Huntsgirl chuckled. "I'm guessing you've gotten this reaction quite a bit haven't you?"

Bridge was still surprised that Huntsgirl knew who she was that she only managed to nod meekly.

"Alright, spill." Violet ordered as the two women also sat down on the bed, and looked to the Long family expectantly. They then told them what they had been able to deduce so far, and at the end, you could tell both women were shocked.

"So that bracelet...where could it be?" Violet asked.

"Anywhere from Central Park to the dungeons. I don't know what they used to transport me here." Bridge shrugged.

"I'll go look for it." Huntsgirl stood up to go, and when Rose nodded, Haley left.

"So, we should probably keep this a secret from everyone." Violet stated.

"That was what I said, only immediate family, and within that, there's going to be some exceptions." Rose consented.

"What about my friends?" Bridge asked, turning to look at Rose.

Rose thought for a moment. "You can very discreetly tell Fitz and Art, but not James. Since his father was responsible for what we thought happened to you, we don't know if James is also in cahoots, or is going to get together with his father."

Bridge shook her head. "James wouldn't do that!"

Violet added. "Like I told you, he's all angst. You saw what your supposed 'death' did to us, especially to your father." Here, glares were exchanged. "People sometimes can go a bit whack with revenge on their minds."

"But enough to ally with that idiot?" Bridge wondered.

"You never know." Violet shrugged. "Changing the topic a bit. You've certainly grown! Come here and let me give you a hug, I've given Cassie a hug, but not Bridge."

Bridge dislodged herself from her mother's embrace, and went over to her aunt's. Bridge had certainly become an affectionate person, for some unknown reason. "Yeah, thought strangely enough, I don't feel any different as Bridge, then when I had with Cassie. I mean, I still feel like my hair's the same length, and all of that. I just changed appearances and names." Bridge shrugged.

The door opened, and Haley walked in, looking at some electronic device. Bridge didn't get a chance to see Haley come in, since she was still being hugged by Violet.

"Reminds me of our bracelets." Violet smiled. Then, both sisters looked at each other as an idea dawned.

"That's probably because they are." Haley spoke up. "Modified versions, but they are."

"Mrs. Norman? ! ?" Bridge exclaimed, sitting up and extracting herself from Violet's arms. Haley had removed her mask while she had been studying the bracelet, and didn't put it on as she returned, and Bridge recognized her.

Haley smirked. "Yep, not a descendant from the troll family, as you had called me many times."

Bridge flinched. "Oh yeah." She then turned to her mom. "What happened to immediate family?"

Jake replied this one. "Bridge, meet my sister, your aunt."

"Great! More whack relatives." Bridge deadpanned. "Wait, don't tell me, next you're going to tell me that I'm a descendant of the Jersey Devil."

Rose looked to Jake, and keeping a serious face, she asked him. "Wasn't he your second cousin thrice removed or something?"

"Oh yeah! Cousin Jerry!" Jake exclaimed.

"You two are hilarious you know that?" Bridge sardonically pointed out.

"We're naturals." Rose smirked.

Haley cleared her throat. "Anyway! Sorry to break up this wonderful Comedy Central Skit. Bridge, pleased to meet you, even though we've known each other for a while." She winked.

"Nice to re-meet you too. So, do I even want to know how it is you ended up in the Huntsclan if my dad's-" Bridge started, but yelped as she saw blue fire engulf his aunt, transforming her-

"You're also a dragon?" Bridge gaped.

Haley turned back to a human, and smirked. "You'd think you'd never seen dragons before. But yeah, if you want to know how I ended up here, ask your dear father about that."

Bridge turned to Jake. "Dad, is it just me, or do both my aunts seem to hate your guts, a lot?"

Jake groaned. "Tell me about it."

Haley cleared her throat. "Anywho. The bracelet."

"Yeah, you were saying it was a modified version of the ones we own." Violet nodded.

"The ones that turned you into those famous designers?" Bridge asked.

"The very ones." Haley replied.

"But they couldn't cover up birthmarks, and Cassie most certainly did not have one." Violet shook her head.

"Hence where the term modified comes from." Haley added. "It seems that our resident bad guy decided to meddle with the bracelet, and made some adjustments to the cloaking sensor. See, the bracelet works with a palette system. You give it a colour, and it modifies it. Simple, and yet flawed. The bracelet considers your skin to be one colour, so any blemishes, scars, and birthmarks stayed the same, and visible, since it wasn't recognized as being a separate entity. However, this one is very unstable, with all the modifications that was put on here. It covered her birthmark successfully, and then the blood covered the rest of it."

"So, wait, you're telling me that Peter Avezon, the idiot who couldn't figure out how to turn on a computer, all of a sudden becomes an expert coder and hacker?" Rose scoffed.

"Nope, I'm saying that we've got another bad guy here. Whether they're the gun for hire, or the real mastermind, I can't tell, but what we can do, is go back to that hospital that Cassie was found in." Haley shook her head.

Rose looked towards Bridge. "Do you remember the hospital name, or at least who the doctor was?"

Bridge's eyes widened. "Hold up! When I woke up at the hospital, I didn't have the bracelet with me, Beatrice gave it to me! She must have been part of this whole scheme!"

"Beatrice being the doctor?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, that's all I remember from it. She never gave me her last name. Come to think of it, I never saw any other patients or doctors, just a nurse." Bridge furrowed her eyebrows, trying to remember.

"Great, a dead end." Rose groaned.

Violet flinched. "Not really. But it does involve your greatest fans."

"Them?" Rose exclaimed. "No way am I going there!"

"Come on Rose! They seemed ready to forgive you." Violet pleaded.

"And they were doing a damn fine job at letting me know about it." Rose spat back.

"Who are we talking about?" Bridge asked.

"Our parents." Violet and Rose both groaned.

Oh yeah, if anyone thought that it would now be calm, you've got another thing coming. I've been neglecting the other characters way too much, and that would mostly constitute with Bridge's grandparents, on BOTH sides of the family ;)

And yeah, who do you think visited James? ;) I'm also leaving out something VERY important out, to throw you off purposely :D But the title of the chapter might give you some clues ;)

So get ready for it! Now for the mystery on Bridge update:

-Bridge has fight with parents, runs away, meets a mysterious creature, and is kidnapped.

-Sometime later, somehow, Bridge winds up in the hospital, with the belief that she's Cassie, an amnesiac teen who has just survived a terrible crash which has claimed her 'parents'' lives.

-Beatrice, the 'doctor' in the hospital seems to be part of this whole plot, since she's the one who gave Bridge the bracelet.

-The bracelet, which is a modified version of Vi and Rose's bracelet, but is unstable to an unknown degree.

-Cassie lives out 3 years, unhappy, unaware that she had caused a lot of drama to her real family.

-Somehow, Cassie's cover [we'll call it that for lack of better word] was destroyed as she was unconscious with the Huntsgoons.

-Bridge, still thinking she's Cassie, goes a takes a shower. Once she looks in the mirror, her memories flood back to her, piece by overwhelming piece.

-Her birthmark has appeared once again, due to the fact that she no longer has the bracelt, and Rose recognizes her because of that.

So yeah! Hopefully people liked this chapter! Be ready for lots of drama in the next one!

Please leave me a review!
