I like it too!
Hailey showed them around the castle as the Gargoyles gaped. It was still the same castle they had known for years…but at the same time it was all so different now. The obvious signs of the twentieth century present.
Goliath let out a heavy sigh, "I honestly am having a hard time believing that this is the same castle which we defended so many times…"
Hailey smiled sadly, "You should have seen it when David and I first found it."
The old Gargoyle laid a hand on Hailey's shoulder, "If ya don't mind lass, I think I will take a look around alone."
Hailey saw the saddened and faraway look in his eye and nodded, "Ok…I think these three might want to see the kitchen."
"Food?" Aqua instantly perked up, "I'm starving!"
The trio laughed as Hailey showed them the way, Goliath, the old Gargoyle and the beast going their separate ways.
The metal door slid away to reveal a very modern kitchen, nothing like what had existed in their day and age. The trio eagerly looked in, Red and Olive-Olive especially-looking very interested in the new appliances. "Ah, look at all this stuff. It's fantastic!"
Hailey snickered a bit at their awe as they eagerly explored. Red walked up to a stove and looked up the vent, "What do you suppose this does?"
He reached for one of the dials and Hailey's eyes widened. "Wait! Red! Don't-" She wasn't able to finish as Red turned the dial and a brilliant flame lept into the air underneath his hand, startling Red as he jumped backwards into Olive. Who was sent flying into the rack of pots and pans, causing them all to fall down. One large pot in particular remained on Olive's head as he sat there stunned for a moment before Red made his way over and Olive pulled the pot off his head. A rather ticked expression gracing his features.
Hailey couldn't contain it anymore and burst out laughing, she laughed so hard she gripped her sides, because they began to hurt. Olive glared at her, "It's not funny."
"Yes, it is." Hailey squeaked.
"Well excuse me if I haven't grown up with all this sorcery." Olive said flatly.
Red looked suspiciously at the stove top, "What Magus wouldn't give to see this magic."
Hailey snorted, "It's not magic, just modern appliances. And I think it would be the cooks who would be even more amazed."
The two Gargoyles continued to explore the kitchen when they suddenly heard a cry. "Hey! Let me out! It's cold in here."
"Hang on! We'll save you!" Olive yelled.
Red ran to the door and said, "You push and we'll pull."
"Uh-" Hailey started to say before she stopped and just shook her head, the trio all tumbling over each other a moment later and food everywhere.
She groaned, loudly, just as someone behind asked, "What is going on in here?"
Hailey looked over her shoulder and saw Xanatos and said simply, "I made a mistake to bring them in to get some food."
Xanatos looked at the kitchen which was in a current state of disarray with a slightly shocked look when a set of heavier footsteps came in. They all turned to see the older Gargoyle walk in and asked in almost a scolding way. "What have you lads been doing in here? I could hear it from almost outside."
The trio looked down as Hailey turned a bit red from embarrassment. Olive spoke up, "W-we'll clean it up."
"Right now." Red added hastily.
Xanatos shook his head, "That won't be necessary."
"Not to mention Ms. Braxton will not be happy if even one spoon is out of place." Hailey muttered.
Red looked at her, "Wouldn't it be better to at least put some of it away though?"
"Not with her." Hailey shivered, "Best to just let her put everything back exactly where she wants it all."
The older Gargoyle frowned, "Alright now out with you all, you've caused enough trouble for one night." They wandered outside as he continued, "You all made a fine mess of the kitchen."
"Look!" Olive stopped suddenly and pointed, "Goliath is talking to that human."
They walked up to the terrace and heard Goliath finishing, "…Xanatos. They brought us here."
She looked around and saw the other Gargoyles, "Uh, this can't be happening."
Hailey smiled slightly at her words, remembering when she had thought them at one point. Red came closer to the woman and examined her, "Is this a new friend, Goliath?"
The woman turned away from Red and back to Goliath, startled. Hailey saw Red smirk. "Boy I hope so."
"This is Elisa Masa, a…detective?" Goliath questioned as he introduced her.
"Second class, MYPD." Elisa stated matter-of-factly, pulling out her badge.
The Gargoyles all looked at Elisa confused before the old one asked, "What exactly does a, detective do, lass?"
"Uh well uh…" Elisa fought to find the right words, so Hailey jumped in to help.
"You know when I told you guys about someone named Sherlock Holmes?"
The trio thought then nodded, Olive adding, "Yeah, it was when we were sneaking around the castle trying to figure out who kept writing you those love note."
Haile shivered at the memory, she did not like him, and Red growled. "Hm. That Duke got he deserved."
Hailey smiled while Goliath shook his head, though he really couldn't say anything as he had not liked him either. Neither did Princess Katherine now that he thought about it.
Hailey continued, "Well that's basically what a detective is. They go behind the lines to try and figure out the truth so that proper justice should is served."
Goliath growled slightly and asked Elisa, "And how is your justice system decided."
"Well, by the people."
"You mean by the humans." Goliath corrected. "You have to go, now."
Elisa took a step towards him as he walked to the edge of the terrace, "Wait! Will I see you again? I'd like to know more about you. Look, you saved my life, so I owe you. Let me help you understand this city, you need to know how it works."
Goliath eyed her distrustingly, "Hailey can show us that. This is her own time."
Elisa looked back at Hailey, who was surrounded by the other Gargoyles, who was starting at her with unsure eyes. Elisa turned back to Goliath, "But she's been away from her own time for a while from what it sounds like."
"Not that long." Hailey interrupted.
Elisa continued, "Please, I can help you. It's good that you have, Hailey, but I work in the legal department, I can help keep prying eyes off of you guys. And I can try and figure out who it was that attacked earlier."
"Why do you care?" Goliath asked.
The question caught Elisa off guard a bit but she answered, "Well, because I've never seen anything like you before. I want to know what your like, who each of you are as a person."
Goliath sighed, "I suppose if we are to defend we will need to be prepared for whatever's out there. Very well."
Elisa smiled a bit. "Good, tomorrow is my day off. I can meet you in the afternoon at-"
"After dark." Goliath said, cutting her off.
"Why am I not surprised?" Elisa said in a halfway amused voice. "Ok, here after dark."
"No. Not here, over there, on that rooftop." Goliath said pointing to a rooftop that could be seen from the castle.
"Why there?" Elisa asked.
Goliath turned the question back, "Why were you sneaking into the castle?"
"A good detective trusts no one." She answered, turning her head away.
"That's one thing we have in common." Goliath said.
Elisa walked away and the old one turned to Goliath, "It seems that much has changed from what we knew."
"Yes," Goliath looked at where Elisa disappeared into the castle, "And if we are to survive in this new world we need to know about it and the humans that rule here."
Xanatos came out a few seconds later, "Goliath."
"I will be back shortly." With that Goliath left to find what the man wanted.
Red turned to Hailey who was still frowning, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know. She just makes me uneasy." Hailey said shrugging.
"Good uneasy or bad uneasy?" Olive asked.
"Some of both I guess. I just don't like it that the very first night you guys are awake she comes along sneaking around." Hailey said, before grinning as she looked towards Red, "Also Red, I saw that look you had."
Red raised a eyebrow, "What look?"
"The look that you had, when David placed his hand on my shoulder." She then puts a finger on her chin and tilts her head, "Were you jealous?"
Aqua and Olive snickered, making Red glare at them, before facing Hailey and he snarled slightly, "That's my spot."
"What? Can't share." Red just glared at her and she put her hands up in a surrendering manner.
"Calm down. He's more like an uncle than anything else." She said, she would always find it cute, when Red was jealous. Like when she spends too much time with someone else and not him.
"He still doesn't belong there." Red mumbled.
"So I should run up to him and give him a hug?"
Red glared for a second, before he quickly reached out and grabbed Hailey, bringing her into a hug, "No."
Goliath came out moments later and slightly upset, but they knew better than to question. "The sun will be up shortly."
Hailey sighed, "I guess this is good morning."
Red smiled, "I'll see you at sundown."
"You betcha." Hailey smiled.
She bid the other Gargoyles good morning and watched as they took their places and the sun came up, putting them all into sleep. A natural one however, one that they would wake up from in the evening.
The day was fairly boring but Hailey slept for a good deal of it before the sun began to go down and she stood outside waiting for her clan to wake up. Goliath woke up first as per usual and Hailey ran to him as he embraced her before she ran over to the trio and bid them good night.
They ran over to the edge of the terrace and Goliath frowned, "Where do you think you're going?"
"To explore the city." Red answered, "After all, we can't spend the rest of our lives in the castle."
Olive added, "He's right. If we're gonna live here we need to know all about this city, its people, its devises-"
"Its food!" Aqua added.
Hailey walked over and placed a hand on Goliath's arm, "I'll keep them out of trouble. Besides, I can be their personal tour guide."
"Oh, very well. The four of you may explore but stay close to the building. And stay out of sight!" Goliath warned.
There were four quick nods before Red scooped Hailey up and they glided off the tower. They flew around the city for a while, Hailey pointing out different land marks or other points of interest.
Eventually they landed on the roof balcony of a rather large skyscraper which happened to have stone gargoyles on it. Aqua leaned on the edge, "I've never seen so many wonders."
"Look!" Olive pointed at a passing motorcycle in ah, "I've got to see how it works."
"Uh, maybe that's not a good idea." Hailey started, but he just off the balcony to fast as Red yelled "Wait!"
"We've got to go stop him!" Hailey said turning to the other two, but Red was already picking her up.
They glided after Olive and watched as the biker crashed in surprise before running away in terror. "Wait! Come back!" Olive called but to deaf ears.
They landed and Red reprimanded, "Goliath said not to let anybody see us."
Olive lowered his head in shame, "I didn't mean to let him see me, just wanted to look at his machine."
Hailey placed a hand on both Red and Olive's shoulders, "Let's just move the motorcycle out of the way and head back."
"We probably shouldn't tell Goliath about this." Red said.
Hailey nodded. "Probably."
Red scooped her up and they found a strong current that carried them up to the castle now in the clouds.
And now this one's done. leave a review and tell me your thoughts, they're always interesting.
