Once there was a girl whose heart was ripped out by a jealous ex lover. Now that her heart has returned, she rushes to the side of the one left behind…

Hi, I'm a new writer here, though I have been reading for many a year.

This is just a story I thought up, and because its my first story, feel free to be as mean as you want in reviews. Really. I insist. Flame me. I appreciate constructive criticism, so if you don't like something, say so.

All characters used here, with one exception, are the property of the wonderful people who brought Gargoyles the TV show and the comic into our world.

Angel in the Night.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who was outspoken and stubborn. She lived her life the way she wished, with no thought to tradition or modesty. A great Lord, Oberon, watched her and dreamed of Titania, the wife who had left him. Lonely and sorrowful, the Lord took the girl as his lover, and used all his magic to make her his equal in power.

For many years they were together, but in the end, she was not his Titania, and his interest was lost.

They parted ways…

She wandered the world, curiosity driving her every move. But she grew weary, as humans do, for she was not born an immortal. And a human who is not born immortal must have a driving goal to their life, else they burn inside their minds…

In the deep of her despair, she found one she could love for the rest of her existence..

But the Lord saw their love and grew jealous, and so he called her to the beginning of Avalon, back through time, using a power he had given her. He ripped her heart from out her chest, and concentrated the powers he had bestowed upon her. He formed them into an object of great power that broke the boundaries of time itself. He cast it into the human world, to be fought over and exploited forever.

Without a heart, she became a monster, and no place in the world was free from her wrath…

But in the late 20th century, a gargoyle named Goliath gained possession of the heart, and believing it was too dangerous for the human world, cast it adrift in time and space…

Where it searched for her, and returned to its place…
