Here it is...the last chapter before Sunday. And TG, it is the Dark Dragon's and Chang's baby. This was said back in the earlier chapters. I didn't say it directly but I put stuff about it.
----------------------- Chapter 39: Horrible Awakening
Dave got up slowly as he held his head. “God, that hurt. Who did that to me?” he asked out loud. “I did,” a voice said. He turned to see Karalyn without her mask on leaning against the roof door. “Why am I still here? Why haven’t you taken me?” Dave asked. “Because, we did it for Sarah. You were not in your dragon form so we couldn’t just take you away and reveal yourself to her. You see, I may be part of the Huntsclan but I am still a dragon. I know the rules about not exposing ourselves to humans. Dave glared at her. “Why did you even think about knocking me out in the first place?” he asked. “So you would not get in the Huntsclan’s way,” Karalyn told him. “And why would that matter?” Dave asked. “You see, tonight a very special event is going to occur. It will be the start of a marvelous hunt. And then tomorrow, your family will be hunted down!” Karalyn said. Dave looked at the ground and then he dove at her. This move surpassed Karalyn and she fought against him and kicked him off. She grabbed his and pushed his back on the edge of the roof and slowly tried to push him off. Dave struggled against her. “Don’t do this Karalyn, I know you are better than this!” Dave said. “You are right, I am better than this!” she said and started to move him harder and faster. Dave held onto the roof desperately with his feet and had his hands gripped on Karalyn’s arms. “You don’t have to do this,” Dave told her. “Of course I do, then I shall become a full member of the Huntsclan!” Dave growled and fought against her. He then pushed her away and got up. Karalyn picked herself up from the ground and Dave grabbed her and had her against the edge of the roof. “I am sick of you causing trouble!” he yelled and then pushed her. She screamed as she started to fall backwards off the roof. “Yes my son. Give in to the darkness in your heart,” a voice said in Dave. Dave then quickly grabbed Karalyn before she was out of his reach. She was holding onto his hands while she was dangling above the street below. “Don’t drop me Dave, please!” Karalyn said desperately. “Why don’t you just use your wings?” Dave taunted her. “Because, I took a shot of that liquid sphinx hair stuff, I can’t use my powers!” Karalyn told him. Dave struggled trying to hold on to her. “Drop her! You know you want to!” the voice in Dave said again. Dave tried to fight against the voice and tried to pull Karalyn up. Then, she slipped. “Dave!” Karalyn yelled and then he heard her screaming as she fell. Then, everything seemed to go silent. Dave didn’t have a clue about what was going on. It freaked him out. He ran to the roof door and ran to the front door of the shop. He opened the door and then it was like everything started to make noise again. Screams and yells for someone to call 911 were heard. Dave closed the door and hit the counter. He ran to the phone and called up Faye. “Hello, Long residence,” Dave heard David say. “Dad, I got to talk to Mom,” he said. Then he heard Faye come on the phone. “Hello?” she said. “Mom, I need you to come over now,” Dave said. The next thing Dave heard was a click on the other line. He sat down and waited and then Faye came into the shop with David. “What is going on outside? Where is everyone?” Faye asked. “I am not sure about what is going on outside, but I need to go,” Dave lied to them. “Please watch the child in the room upstairs,” Dave said and showed them the baby. “Whose child is it?” Faye asked, noticing it was in dragon form. “It is the Dark Dragon’s and Chang’s child,” Dave said. “Mom’s?” Faye asked. Dave nodded. “i have to go, everyone is in trouble,” Dave said. He ran out of the shop ignoring the protests by Faye and David and ignoring the events occurring in the street.

No new chapters but I want to get some opinions from my readers...
1. What should the dragon baby be named (the one that they rescued from the mansion)?
2. What should Rose's child be named (Give both a male and female name, or just one if you wish)?
3. What character do you think should die in this story (This one I am just curious about, I have already written the death chapter)?
I would like to see what you all would think about number 3 and I would love to get some input on the first and second questions.

Aw, heck. Here is chapter 40!
------------------------------------ Chapter 40: Train Bound
Dave ran into the forest where the Huntsclan was once located. He saw their old lair and sighed. “About time they demolished it,” Dave said and walked past it. He then thought he heard a train coming. “What is that?” he asked and moved deeper into the forest. He then tripped on something and fell. He groaned and pushed himself up slightly. “What the heck did I trip on?” he asked and then noticed that he was on train tracks. “No!” he yelled and then heard a train coming. He quickly got up and off of the tracks just as a train came roaring by. It passed and Dave was holding onto the roof. He grunted and pulled himself up. He crouched low as the wind whipped past him and hit his body. With the speed the train was going, it caused slight pain. He just growled yet again and moved forward to the end of the compartment. He then looked down to notice a key card reader. “That must be where they are,” Dave said. Jake woke up slowly. “Where am I?” he asked and looked around to see that the compartment had other people in it, or to be more specific, other dragons. But, they were all people he knew. It was Laoshi, Rose, and Haley. But Dave seemed to be missing.
Dave held onto the roof of the train and then he dropped down. He tried to open the doors in front of him but the sliding doors were locked. He said, "I am not surprised it is locked. They would want to keep them locked up." Dave then heard a voice, "Dave, is that you?" "Jake, it is me. The door is locked. I can't get through," Dave told Jake. "You are a dragon, use your claws," Jake said to Dave. "I can't. I don't have my dragon form. I think that I have that liquid sphinx hair stuff in me," Dave said. Dave then tried to open the door and it opened after some effort. Dave walked in and saw Haley, Jake, Laoshi, and Rose chained to the walls of the train. They were also all in their dragon forms. Dave walked to Rose as he heard her waking up. "Where am I?" she asked. "You are on a train," Dave said. Rose looked and saw she was in her dragon form. "What is happening?" Rose asked. "Nothing good, that is for sure," Dave said and pulled out the keys he got earlier. He unlocked Rose's chains and handed her the keys. "Get them out of their chains. I am going to go try to stop the train," Dave told her. Rose looked Dave in his eyes. "Be careful Dave. Everyone will be in the compartment before the first one," she said. Dave sighed, "That makes my job harder. But I got to stop the train before we reach the place of the Grand Equinox Hunt,” he said.

Interesting story. I'm kinda annoyed by the small chapters, but that's just IMO.

Sorry for the short chapters now but I am trying to get the story moving along again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 41: Return of the Rival
Dave walked out of the train compartment and headed for the ladder to the roof of the train compartments. He jumped to the roof of the prison car and looked ahead. He continued this, running and jumping until he was two cars away from the front of the train. He knew the next one had the Huntsclan members in it and that he had to get past them. He climbed down the ladder and looked in through the window of the door. He saw Sarah talking to other people and this brought Dave’s spirits down. He then climbed up the ladder silently and crawled instead of walked across the roof. He got to the end after a few moments and climbed down. He opened the door to the front compartment and saw the controls.
He reached to stop the train when he felt a Hunts Staff against his back. “Don’t move Dave, or I’ll kill you.” Dave turned to see Karalyn. “It can’t be...you died,” Dave said. Karalyn laughed. “Sorry, but that was someone else who died in my place,” she said. Dave glared at her and said, “You are sick.” Karalyn then let her guard down for a moment and Dave kicked the Hunts Staff out of her hands and it landed in his hands. He did a spin to attack her but it hit another Hunts Staff. Karalyn and Dave fought, clashing Hunts Staff against Hunts Staff, trying to outsmart the other.
The Hunts Staffs then went flying out of their hands and crashed through a window. Dave turned to the controls and heard the Huntsmaster say, “What was that?” “I will go check it out,” Dave heard Sarah say. Dave hit the emergency brakes and turned to Karalyn. “You got to hide me. I can’t let Sarah see me in my human form here,” he said to her. Karalyn just smiled and called out, “Sarah, in here.” Dave looked at the broken window and climbed out it. He got on the roof and watched silently as Sarah walked by. “I can’t let her see me,” he said quietly.

Chapter 42: Opening Ceremony
Dave held on as the train came to a stop and the Huntsclan came out from the compartment. “Get the prisoners!” Huntsmaster said to Karalyn and Sarah. Dave watched as his family was brought out of the prisoner compartment. Dave jumped down off of the roof and saw a Huntsclan member run towards him. ‘I can’t believe I am going to do this,’ he thought and snapped the member’s neck. He then closed his eyes for a moment and ran to the other side of the train to see everyone tied up to wooden posts in chains.
Dave heard the Huntsclan reciting the ancient passages and then he laughed as he finished. “This time oh Huntsclan members, one of the hunters is now the hunted. Rose here, better known as Thorn,” he said, pointing to Rose. Dave growled and wanted to attack but he knew that if he did that, he would place his friends in harms way. “She is a dragon. And I don’t want any hesitation. You will try to kill her as if she was a regular dragon and never once part of the Huntsclan,” he said. “We will sir!” the clan replied back. Dave got a little closer and looked at his friends.
“Let me go uncle!” Rose yelled out. “Never! You know this is the way of the Huntsclan!” the Huntsmaster yelled at Rose. “Family should never abandon each other, no matter what the troubles!” Dave yelled out. Every member of the Huntclan looked in Dave’s direction. Luckily, he hid behind a tree so he couldn’t be seen. He heard footsteps approach him. Dave turned and ran into the forest so that he wouldn’t be seen. “The Grand Equinox Hunt is now beginning!” the Huntsmaster yelled out. Dave knew it was time to fight back somehow.

Here is the next chapter!
---------------------------------------------
Chapter 43: The Beginning Of The Hunt
Dave ran into the forest and the other dragons just watched on. “What can we do?” Jake asked Laoshi. “We have to believe in him,” Laoshi told Jake. “Believe in who?” Sarah asked, pressing her Hunts Staff against Laoshi. “I shall never tell,” he said. Sarah then hit him. “I suggest you start listening in the future, however long that will be,” she said. “Don’t you dare hit him!” Jake yelled and he was shot in the arm. “Quiet dragon!” Sarah yelled. Jake growled in pain and Rose shed a tear seeing her love in pain. “Stop hurting them!” Rose yelled at her. Sarah turned and pointed her staff at Rose. Then Rose really started to panic. She didn’t want the child to be hurt in anyway and she started struggling. The staff started to glow to prepare for another shot when Jake yelled, “Don’t shoot her! Please!” Sarah lowered her staff. “And why not?” she asked. “Because, she is pregnant,” Jake said.
Sarah showed no sympathy for this and said, “She is going to die by the end of the night any ways. I will allow some mercy and allow the baby to live a little bit longer.” She walked away and Laoshi looked at Rose. “Don’t stress yourself too much young one. It is not good for the baby,” he told her.
Dave ran and dove behind a tree as some shots were fired in his direction. ‘I need my dragon powers now!’ he thought angrily to himself. He got up to move again when a tree branch caught his left sleeve and tore it off. Dave growled when he noticed he was now in his dragon form. ‘How did this happen?’ he thought and grabbed the sleeve and noticed that there was sphinx hair on it. “How did I get that?” he asked out loud when he heard the Huntsmaster call out, “Come out boy!” Dave flew out and looked at the Huntsclan and stared directly at the Huntsmaster. “Don’t you mean, come out dragon?” Dave asked him with a grin.

Chapter 44: The Hunt and The Flight
Dave flew at the Huntsclan and shots were fired at him. Dave avoided the shots and flew into a Huntsclan member, sending him flying back. Dave turned around and then shot fire at them, setting some of the members on fire. “Now that is what I call hot,” he said. Then a shot flew right past his ear. “Whoa!” he exclaimed and moved as the Huntsmaster fired another shot at him. Dave flew towards him but the Huntsmaster moved out of the way and tried to cut Dave with the staff but Dave avoided the attack as well.
Jake struggled against his pole and wish he could get out of the chains that bound him to the post. “Jake, just stop please. You will wear out your energy,” Rose said softly. “No, you need to be protected and we need to get out of here so I will keep struggling until I can get free and get the four of us out of here. “What about Dave?” Haley asked. “He will be fine. He is my twin after all,” Jake said, giving an encouraging smile. “You are right,” Rose said. “Don’t hurt yourself in the process though young dragon,” Laoshi said.
Dave shot more fire at the Huntsmaster and the Huntsmaster again avoided it. Then Dave saw a net made of sphinx hair thrown at him. “I have had enough of this,” Dave said and moved out of the way, letting the net hit the ground. Dave wrapped his tail around a Huntsclan member and threw him at the Huntsmaster. Dave smiled as he heard the Huntsmaster yell in frustration and he flew away, going deeper into the forest.
Jake heard someone coming and stopped struggling in his chains. “Having fun trying to get free dragon?” Sarah asked him. “What are you talking about?” Jake asked. “I just saw you struggling a moment ago, I came to check it out,” Sarah said. “I guess you must of been seeing things because I have been doing nothing of the sort,” Jake said. “I would watch your attitude if I were you. It will get you into deep trouble soon,” Sarah said and walked away. Jake growled when he saw Rose in her dragon form working on his chains. “Rose?!” he asked her. “I transformed into my human form just as she turned her back. I got out of my chains and I am now working on freeing you,” Rose said to him. “How were the chains loose enough to let you go?” Haley asked. Rose placed a hand on her stomach. “Thank this little blessing of mine,” she said.
Dave finally came upon a cave and went inside. He laid down on the ground as he heard footsteps going further and further away. He decided that it was now safe to get some relaxation for the night to prepare for the Hunt that would start the very next day.
After getting everyone free, the group looked around to make sure Sarah wasn’t looking. :”Where do we go?” Rose asked. “There is a cave nearby. I used it during the last time I was in the Grand Equinox Hunt,” Jake said. “So that is where you were hiding,” Rose said with a smile. “Yeah, that is where we were hiding,” Jake said. They flew to the cave and entered it to see Dave on the ground sleeping in his dragon form. “He is exhausted. We will question him in the morning,” Laoshi said and they themselves laid upon the ground and went to sleep for the night.
