As promised, here's the sequel!

So for those of you that are new to the stories, you should read the story before this one called 'Hidden Lives: Protectors' or else this story will make little, if any sense to you :P To get to it, the easiest way would be to go to my profile and click on the other story and enjoy!

So these are the answers to reviews from the aforementioned story :)

Latinachick: Thanks! Hopefully you like this story as much as the previous one!

Onej6: Thanks! And worry not! Here is the sequel :D

Housekeeping: I don't own ADJL, I do own my OCs who sometimes have the worst strikes of luck :P Disney owns the show ADJL...and I'll leave it at that.

That will be the disclaimer for the whole story, just in case I forget to post it once :S

This part is a flashback, that's why it's in italics.

"Daddy! Can you read me a story?" A five-year old piped up.

"Sure thing honey, which one do you want to hear?"

"The one about the dragon!"

"You always ask for that one." The father said, chuckling.

"I know, but it's soo romantic! Please Daddy please?" The little girl pouted, her azure eyes peeking out from under her black bangs to make a cute face.

"Alright, fine. Now let's see...Once upon a time there lived this cool and red dragon. He was loved by everyone. He was known as the American Dragon. He had lots of enemies. One of them was the Huntsman! He was ferocious and had a twisted mind and convinced everyone that dragons and other magical creatures were disgusting and vile. But one secret the dragon had was that he was also a human! No one that knew him as a human knew that he was a dragon, except for his friends and family. He also had a crush on a girl, but he couldn't tell her that he was the American Dragon, because if his enemies found out, they would harm her. So it stayed that way, until the boy went with his school on a ski trip. There, he found that the girl of his dreams was none other than Huntsgirl! An evil girl who worked for the Huntsman and dreamed of killing the red dragon. But he saw that she wasn't all that evil.

"After a couple of days, the girl mysteriously vanished. Many years later she reappeared, but she was undercover as a fashion designer. You see, in those years she found out dragons were kind and nice, and decided that instead of slaying them, she would protect them! So she became the Guardian Angel, but if anyone from her past recognized her, she would be in grave danger. But then, one day, she had saved the dragon from being captured by the evil Huntsclan, and he found out the truth about her, and she of him.

"They continued to fight side by side, realizing that they were falling in love. But then, the dragon's sister thought it would be a good idea to have the girl infiltrate the Huntsclan, and she became the Huntress, the new leader of the Huntsclan! Everyone thought she was a ruthless villain, but she was nothing but kind to her friends and family. Then, one day, they had a baby girl, and they lived happily ever. Now honey, you need to go to sleep."

"Aww man! Fine, good night daddy." With that, the girl went to her bedroom, where her dad tucked her in. He closed the door and after a couple of minutes, she perked up as she heard voices, one of them a woman! Maybe Mommy came back! Thought the little girl. As quietly as she could, she snuck up to her door and listened in.

"I swear, one day she's going to ask you for their names Jake, and then you're going to be in trouble."

"Very funny, so how are things going?"

"Good, Haley had twins, one boy and one girl. They're so cute. Gwen is dealing with James, who is so energetic!"

The little girl was very curious as to who the woman was. She opened the door a little bit, but they caught her. What she saw scared her. Her dad was there, standing, but beside him was a figure all clad in black, and the only thing that could be seen were the blue eyes. The little girl started trembling. The scary figure was approaching her, her hands outstretched, while her father was just standing where he was when she found him. She backed away as much as she could and started screaming and wailing.

"Bridge, don't be afraid, she's not going to hurt you ok?" Her father said, picking her up.

"Daddy, I don't want to! She's scary!"

Her dad turned and faced the figure. "Well, that might be, but she's also kind and caring."

"I don't trust her Daddy."

"Go to sleep honey, she won't hurt you ok?"

Bridgette went and laid down on the bed, facing the wall, not wanting to look at the scary woman. Suddenly, she felt her dad caressing her hair trying to soothe her. He sat down on her bed, and Bridge felt another comforting hand on her, together, both hands had lulled the girl to sleep.

Unbeknownst to the girl, the second hand was not her father's.

After that day, Bridgette had always been afraid of hooded and masked figures. She hated and feared Halloween, especially on the years that hooded and masked figures were the popular costumes.

OK, so I should probably put some mini bios on the characters now.

Jake Long/American Dragon: Still the American Dragon, being a single parent doesn't really waver him from his duties, and he has the perfect excuse for leaving every night, he just says he's going to work! Jake became quite a famous chef, opening his own restaurant Chef Long, and has the best reviews any chef can ask. He needs to train his daughter to become the next American Dragon, but it's going to prove to be harder than he thought.

Bridgette Angel Long (Bridge): Jake and Rose's daughter, she has quite the attitude, using it to hide behind, masking her own feelings from prying eyes. She acts like a total tomboy, but secretly has a closet obsession for fashion, including works from a famous designer by the name of Jennifer Phillips. She still hasn't been able to recover from that 'bad dream' she had when she was 5, and hopes for the destruction and banishment of Halloween. She completely despises her mother, even though she has never met her, or knows anything about her. She just hates her for leaving or as she calls it "abandoning" and "being a coward."

Rose Long/Huntress: Rose is still Rose, albeit for the fact that she hasn't actually been herself for years. She has either been the Huntress or Jen Phillips, but has yet to go back out on the streets as just Rose. As the Huntress, she's as evil as it gets. Well, she puts up the façade but to those that live in her complex, she's the kindest person you can imagine. The Huntress uses her skills to hide around innocuous places, keeping tabs on Bridge. She tries to see her and her husband as much as she can, but has sometimes gone for months, and once, a whole year, on end without seeing either of them. She hopes one day that her daughter will accept her, and that they'll be able to live together.

Trixie Spudinski: Trixie is now happily married to Spud, and has her own column in the paper: Trixie's Closet, where she dishes out the best combos for what to wear and when to wear it. She has a daughter, Art, who is the same age as Bridge, and is still close friends with Jake, but can no longer help him with AmDrag stuff due to the fact that she has a family to take care of.

Arthur Spudinski (Spud): Spud has become quite the lawyer in New York, handling cases in a way only a genius of Spud's calibre can. He is happily married to Trixie and has his daughter Art. Like Trixie, Spud can no longer help Jake with Dragon duties for the same reasons as Trixie. He is also rarely called Spud anymore, except by close friends.

Artemisia Spudinski (Art): You call her Artemisia, she'll whoop your butt like it's nobody's business, preferring to be called Art. She is as smart mouthed as her mom, but as smart as her dad. Fortunately, she doesn't try to act like Spud did, hiding his intelligence, rather, she uses it to help her friends with it. She's best friends with Bridge, and won't let anyone hurt her friend in any way whatsoever.

Fitzdale Jones (Fitz): Like Art, he'll get super pissed if called Fitzdale, thinking it to be an old man's name. He's a laid back teen, and recently transferred, but has become fast and close friends with Art and Bridge. His parents are psychologists, and so he has a deep understanding of the mind, but sometimes forgoes that for just plain common sense.

Haley and David: They are happily married and have twins, a boy and a girl, who have been born into the Huntsclan. The kids know nothing about their mother's heritage, and they are growing up hating magical creatures. Haley went back to university and got a teaching degree along with her husband. They are still both Huntsgirl and Huntsboy, and are considered to be Huntress's must trusted warriors.

Violet: Still in Washington, she hasn't seen her sister since the night she left, she wonders why Rose ditched her that way, but doesn't go back to NYC for fear that Rose now hates her, and for the fact that she has heard reports on the Huntress's ruthlessness and thinks that her sister really has once again become evil.

Gwen: Gwen had her son, however, refuses to continue being Gwen Avezon. She is now Huntress's right hand woman, The Huntswoman, for lack of better name, and often gives the Huntress advice on what to do. She kept her promise to not reveal Haley or Rose's husband, and tries her best to keep the charade up with her son and Haley's own children.

Gramps: Still at the same old electronics store, he still hasn't had a customer, or a sale. He helps Jake often with dragon duties, especially on the nights when Jake has to work. He also babysits Bridgette, and when the time comes for her to become the American Dragon, he will be there to help Jake teach her. He tells Bridge to call him Gramps as well, since it's easier than Great Gramps. He always has to refrain from calling Jake and Bridge 'Young Dragon', which can prove quite hard due to force of habit, but he's managed.

Fu Dog: Still the same 700 year old Sharpei. Loud mouthed, full of jokes, and still making and owing bets to the famous Big Ernie. Fu has been living with Jake and Gramps, interchanging between the two, not being able to talk with Bridge around, since she doesn't know about magical creatures. He always freaks out whenever Rose shows up, still not used to the Huntress being Jake's wife.

And with this, The first chapter begins!

And now, a snippet of the next chapter:

"Yeah dad, I'll totally be more mature! It's just me turning 13, it's not like something magical and amazing will happen! Plus, why did I have to be cursed with being born on Halloween? I hate it!"

"ARGH! How is she going to fight the Huntsclan if she's afraid of everyone with masks and hoods Fu?"

"That's the least of my problems! She's still afraid of you!"

"You do realize your daughter is quite her father's carbon copy?"

"Hey, name's James."

"I just want to shove her into the house and make her see what our life is like after she became a coward and ditched us."

For those of you that can't get enough of this story, I'm going to be creating screens from scenes in the series on my dA account. To get to it, just go to my profile and click "homepage."
