"Yep." Vance said as he caught the board and stood up. "I just usually walk or fly everywhere. That and I never bought a replacement for my old one."

"The think of that as a thank you for buying me a new shirt and a new board." Mia smiled, taking off at a run towards the road. "Beat you to the road, no flying!!" She laughed, going faster in between the trees.

Vance began to run, desperately trying to catch up with her. When he did, he jumped to give himself a bit of a boost and continued running.

"Heyo." Mia laughed, speeding up more without jumping at all. After a couple more minutes they reached the road at a tie, neither of them being the winner. Laughing Mia turned to Vance, "That was fun." She put the board in the ground and mounted it, moving back and forth.

Vance mounted his board as well and looked at the road. "Ready? Go!" Vance began to skate down the road.

"Oh we're racing?" Mia shouted, taking off at an angle. She soon came up in a short cut that would put her in front of Vance, all she had to do was stick the ramp. Gathering up speed, she successfully made the jump, doing a front flip while in the air. "Ha ha!" The shout would come from above Vance's head.

Vance looked above his head and saw her. "Wow, cool! It's still cheating though!" Vance froze the ground he was riding on, allowing him to go faster just a little.

"Shortcuts aren't cheating!" Mia laughed, morphing her legs into wolf legs to allow her to kick faster. "Now we're both cheating!" She hollared, now neck and neck with him.

"Then lets head towards the finish line!" Vances wings appeared, shooting him farther forward.

"Hey Cheater!" Mia yelled, fully morphing on the board to become neck and neck with Vance again. Instead of more trash talk, the only thing that came out of Mia's mouth was a growl. Her mouth was twisted up in what appeared to be a smile, or as close as you can get being a wolf. Neither of them had noticed the black van that had been following them throughout the race, both of them too busy to notice.

thinking he might lose, vance jumped into the air holding his board and began to just fly instead of riding on his board. "see ya!" he said playfully as he continued down the road.

"Ok, now your really cheating!!" She tried to yell, it only coming out as a growl. She jumped off her board as well and picked it up in her mouth, taking of down the street. While she was running she felt something hard hit her previously injured shoulder and stuck there, thinking it was just a rock or something she kept running. As she caught up to Vance her vision started to go grey and she shifted back to her human form, falling over sideways at the sudden shift.

vance laughed to himself a little bit as he flew and then stopped when he realized mia wasnt next to him. worried something had happened, vance stopped flying and ran to her side. "mia! you alright?"

Mia lay on the ground with her board next to her, a dart in her shoulder. "What is in my shoulder?" She asked, oblivious to the van that sat around the bend they had just turned, waiting for Mia to fall unconscious.

vance looked at her arm. "a dart. i dont think its safe anymore, i'll take you home. i'm starting to think whoever it is thats doing this is only after you. unfortunately for them, im a dragonslayor who doesnt abandon friends." vance picked up mia and her board.

(Want to pick the story up a bit. )

(go for it.)

Mia looked at Vance and saw something sticking out of the side of his thigh. "They got you too." She yawned, her head rolling against Vance's chest. They had shot a larger dose of tranquilizer at both of them, one that would put them both to sleep. The black van rounded the corner and rolled close to where Vance stood with Mia in his arms, a tranquilizer gun sticking out of the side window.

vance looked at the dart at his thigh, then at the van approaching. "a tranquilizer gun. i hate my life." vance fell to the ground, still awake and still holding mia.

The last thing Mia heard was the comment from Vance and the slamming of doors as the men in the van approached them carefully, each holding a pistol or tranq. Her head laid on Vance's chest as they surrounded them, aiming their guns at Vance's head. "Dragon, if you make any move to escape we will kill both of you. Experiment or no experiment.
