"Are you certain of this?" Goliath was still in shock after what his mentor told him about Lucifer rising. After Hudson had told him what they came to stop Demona from doing they spent the next hour in the library researching the devil. "What if this was her plan all along?" Goliath rubbed his eyes. The thought made his head ache and he didn't want to believe it, but had to consider the option.

"I don't believe that this was her intention Lad. I truly believe that she wanted a chance to do better. Unfortunately she chose a bad way to go about it. It's those Fate lasses that are to blame for this." Hudson growled when he mentioned them.

"What would you have me do?" Goliath sighed and Hudson could see the weariness in the Leader's eyes. He felt bad for him at that moment and prayed to whoever would listen at that moment that Goliath would have things go his way someday soon.

"Right now we need to focus on taking care of Demona and Matt." Hudson put his hand up to stall any arguments from his former protégé. "She saved the three of you from the demon, and you said yourself that she could have let him in at any time and killed us all. She didn't take that path and she risked her life by flying over that gorge carrying Elisa and Matt with a broken wing."

"I know that but…" Goliath began but Hudson interrupted him again.

"Let me finish Lad. I know that somewhere deep down she still cares for you. I also know how much it pained you to take away your protection even after all she has done." Hudson and Goliath got up to walk outside too continue their conversation.

"What would you suggest that I do old friend?" Goliath asked in a hollow tone. He knew that Hudson was right. Since he had taken away his protection he felt has if he had cut out a piece of his soul and it wasn't until he saw her go through the trials that he felt hope again for their future.

"That will depend on her. Right now she is hurt and we should treat her as we would any other injured gargoyle that has saved members of our clan." Hudson took a deep breath before continuing. "Then it is up to her and any direction she goes is not your fault."

"Very well" Goliath sighed as he turned to walk back inside.

"What will you do when she has recovered?" Hudson asked suddenly. Goliath froze in mid stride. He had been thinking about that a lot since they had returned from Belial's realm.

"Like you said it depends on her. If she is still our enemy after everything that happened I may have to eliminate the threat." Hudson was about to ask another question but Goliath didn't give him the chance as he quickly walked away.

"Who's he trying to fool? He will never bring himself to kill her, and I don't know if I could either." Hudson sighed wearily and went to his chambers to watch his TV show before the sun rose.

Titania cast a spell and the warehouse door blew apart showering the undead creatures with shrapnel from the large metal door. Several creatures from inside the warehouse charged towards them and Fox quickly cast a spell and a wall of fire erupted from the ground in front of them. The zombies that ran through it immediately caught fire and burned quickly to death.

"I found them." David shouted over the screams of the dying creatures. He pointed to the back of the warehouse to show them the direction they needed to head in. Fox and Titania nodded and they walked forward as Fox moved the fire to keep it in front of them as a shield. When they got to the door leading to the rear offices she dispelled the wall.

"We need to be careful in there. These hallways won't be very wide." Fox pointed out.

"I'll go first. Titania, I need you to make sure nothing gets to us from behind." David opened the door and the three quickly entered the hallway. "They're to the right. Come on it's not far." David walked slowly down the hall and readied his laser cannon.

They walked down a few feet and they suddenly heard many footsteps rushing towards them from both directions of the hallway. Titania quickly raised a magical barrier behind them and has soon as the creatures became visible to David he started firing his laser cannon. The creature in the lead fell to the ground holding his chest. A female zombie that had been behind him leapt forward to attack. She bared her teeth and lunged at him, but before she could reach him all of the zombies suddenly fell to the ground and became still.

"Disgusting creatures aren't they?" A male voice said in a cheerful tone from in front of David. The three turned to see who was speaking and could barely make out the silhouette of a man walking towards them from the light shining thirty feet behind him from a doorway.

"Who are you?" David aimed his laser at the newcomer.

"Me? I'm just passing through. I'm actually seeking someone. See, she was supposed to meet me when I woke up but I have not seen her." The man stepped closer and the group could see he appeared to be a young male between twenty five and thirty years of age. He had sandy blonde hair and was clean shaven. He had on a brown shirt with a green button down flannel shirt that was left unbuttoned. He wore normal blue jeans and brown work boots as well. The only thing that was strange about him was how bright his blue eyes were.

"What happened to the other two people?" Fox spoke up from behind David. The man just grinned and shrugged.

"They were no longer necessary." He grinned as the group looked on in horror while he wiped pieces of skin and blood off of his shirt.

"Monster" Titania shouted as she launched a green fireball that quickly engulfed him. The group was shocked to see the guy walk out of the flames and dust some of the flames off of his shirt.

"Was that supposed to hurt?" He chuckled and waved his hand. Titania vanished from the hall and he walked closer to Fox and David. He chuckled when he saw the shocked looks on their faces. "Don't concern yourselves. She is fine; I just wanted to speak with you two alone. Oh, where are my manners." He reached his hand out towards David. "The name is Lucifer, and I already know you are David Xanatos and this lovely young woman beside you is named Fox."

"Bullshit" Fox said with venom dripping from her tone.

"You're lying." David added as he fired a laser bolt straight into Lucifer's chest. They all watched as it ricocheted harmlessly off of him and hit the wall beside him.

"I haven't really said anything yet." Lucifer thought for a moment. "Oh, you're referring to my name." He chuckled and shook his head. "Here's the thing David. I'm not here for you, but if you don't tell me where to find the one called Demona I will tear out your spine."

"Demona, What do you want with her?" Fox asked suddenly from behind her husband.

"That's none of your concern." Lucifer then clapped his hands together. "So, where is she?"

"We don't know?" Fox stated as she stepped forward.

"You want to protect your friend. That's very admirable. Before I was cast down I would have probably done the same." Lucifer shook his head. "I was the most loyal of all of the angels, but when I was betrayed I learned to never trust anyone

"You caused your own problems Devil." Fox shouted and before David could stop her launched herself towards Lucifer. Before the kick could land he grabbed her foot and spun her quickly slamming her into the wall knocking her unconscious. He looked down at her sadly and shook his head.

"You humans have me all wrong you know." He said to David as he kneeled down and lifted Fox into his arms and then stood back up. David began to charge forward but found that he couldn't move. Lucifer put his hand on Fox's forehead and a low glow emanated between his fingers.

"What did you do to her?" David shouted menacingly.

"Do to her? Nothing, I healed her of the cracked skull that I inadvertently caused when she attacked me. Has I was trying to say you humans have me wrong. I am not the villain of this story or the boogey man you traditionally tell your children about." He sighed before continuing on and David took the chance to interrupt.

"Tell that to the woman and child you butchered in there." David replied.

"I didn't harm them. I destroyed the zombies that were attacking them. Go ahead and see for yourself. They are fine. The only thing I have ever done wrong was not love you hairless apes. That is the crime that I was cast down for. Now you tell me did my punishment fit the crime?" David was shocked at the sincerity behind the voice and the intense look that was now being directed towards him. "Think about it. If I were the monster that I am being made out to be I would have just killed you both right now, but I haven't and I don't intend too."

"Then prove it and let her go." Lucifer looked down at Fox for a moment.

"I can't. I need leverage, however if you bring Demona to me then I will give her back to you and grant any request you may have." He began to walk off while carrying the unconscious woman.

"You play the sympathy for the devil card very well, but in the end you're still a monster." David shouted as Lucifer walked away.

"Am I now? Well, I guess we will see soon enough. Good bye David. I'll see you soon." He winked at David then and disappeared from the room.

"How do I reach you?" David shouted.

"I will find you once you've found the monster." David heard the voice say in his mind.

What am I going to do now?David went to the back of the warehouse and he found a young blonde woman wearing a dirty flannel shirt and jeans holding a child that looked to be no older than two years old in her arms. True to his word the devil had left the two of them unharmed. The young mother backed against the wall when she saw the armor David was wearing. David took off the mask and walked forward slowly.

"Everything will be alright. I'm here to get you and your child away from here." David said trying to sound reassuring.

"Where's Nick? What happened to my husband?" The woman asked in a quivering tone as she looked behind David expecting Nick to be there. The toddler began to cry then and she tried to calm him down then while she never took her eyes off of the newcomer.

That must be the name of the poor sap the Devil possessed. How do I tell her that?He thought for a moment and then told her the only thing he thought she could handle.

"I'm not sure who you mean. I haven't seen anyone but you in here, but if you come with me now we can look for him and then get you all to a safe place." David said and held out his arm to her. She reluctantly accepted his outstretched hand and let him help her to her feet.

"Wh…what's your name?" The woman asked while they walked back down the hallway.

"My apologies for my bad manners, my name is David…David Xanatos, and you are?" David asked while he helped her walk through the debris and around all of the corpses. The young woman was concentrating so much on the ground in front of her and making sure that the toddler did not see the bodies that David had to repeat his question.

"My name is Lauren and this is Sam." She said as they got outside.

"Okay, Lauren. Hold on to me tight. I'm going to fly you both someplace safe." He put on his helmet and the young mother began to back away but he tightened his grip around her.

"Don't worry, I just need the helmet on to make a call…Owen, yes I need you to get the guest room ready… I know that now is not the best time for guests but I am going to make an exception this time…Well, when do you have to be there…Very well, get Natasha to finish when you leave." Lauren looked at him for a moment in horror as she contemplated what he had just said.

"We can't leave yet. What about Nick?" Lauren asked in a panicked tone.

"I'll come back and look for him, but right now you need to think of your child and let me get you out of here." David pointed out. He started the thrusters in his boots and held onto her tight as they took off into the air and towards the castle. Goliath, I hope you still have that charm. What do I tell him now? The young woman began to cry has they flew through the air.

The next night as the sun became shrouded behind the clouds Angela awoke still sitting next to Matt's bed. She looked over anxiously and sighed in frustration when she saw that there was no change in his condition. She gripped his hand but was careful not to hold it too tight.

"I'm so sorry Matt, please…please wake up. I'll do anything if you would just open your eyes." Angela began to cry as she pleaded with him.

"I'm sorry about what happened." Goliath said from the doorway. "I'm…also sorry about what happened between us that n…" Goliath walked up to her and she interrupted before he could finish. Angela chuckled and wiped away the tears that had been flowing freely down her cheeks.

"It's odd, but I am not angry with you anymore." She took a deep breath and brushed Matt's hair out of his face before continuing. "If you hadn't acted the way that you did I would never have gotten to know Matt has well as I have, and in a strange way I am thankful for that." Goliath sat next to his daughter and put his hand on her shoulder.

"I know that you have not been around humans very often, and if I had my way you would continue your courtship with Broadway instead of choosing a human mate." He put his hand up then just has she was about to speak. "I'm not intending to lecture you. I know that you have limited experience with humans because of your time on Avalon and that before you can continue a relationship with one you must learn to be gentle with them."

"I know that I need to control my temper better." Angela whispered.

"That's true…" Goliath cleared his throat before quickly continuing on. "You will also need to learn to contain your enthusiasm." Angela gave him a confused glance and then turned back towards Matt. "If you mate with him and are overly enthusiastic you could kill him that way to." Goliath said quickly. He felt his heart race has he spoke with the embarrassment building up in his mind. Angela felt the heat rise to her cheeks has her skin flushed.

"I…I hadn't even considered that. I really do love him and I want to be with him, but I don't want to hurt him. What should I do?" She could feel her eyes begin to water again as she spoke.

"Only you can decide that. If he is worth taking the extra precautions with then follow your heart wherever it takes you and I will support your choice. If you decide you cannot handle it then perhaps you would do well to give Broadway another chance." Goliath advised. Angela shook her head and just before she could speak Matt moaned and she turned quickly to check on him. "What happened between you and Broadway? I don't intent to pry but I wonder why you dislike the idea of continuing a courtship with him." Goliath stated and Angela smiled because she could hear the confusion in his voice.

"He's very nice and I was intending to settle for him, but after spending the week with Matt I discovered that I had deeper feelings for him than I knew were possible…Wait, did you just say that you'll give us your blessing?" Angela was stunned and wasn't sure that she had heard him correctly.

"He would not be my first choice for you, but I want you to be happy. If you truly believe in your heart that he is the one for you then I will stand aside." Goliath stood up and began to leave the room. He was surprised to feel Angela grab onto his hand and he stopped for a moment to turn and look at her.

"Thank you and I hope that soon you will get the chance to see how good he is to me." Goliath smiled and left the room. He had better be. He thought as he walked up to Demona's room.

While Goliath was speaking to Angela Demona woke suddenly and began looking around at her surroundings. Where am I? Why do I feel so sore? She tried to stand and the pain in her back and wing caused her to sit back down. Next to her on a table was a bowl of berries and another with whipped cream. Next to the bowls was a bottle of dark red wine along with two wine glasses. Her head felt warm and heavy. She put her hand to her head and was shocked to feel the sweat building on her forehead. The sight of the berries made her hungry and she took the bowls off of the table and sat them next to her. He didn't forget. How cute is it that he remembered our annual celebration of our bond. Demona smiled and dipped a bright red berry into the whipped cream just as the door opened and Goliath walked in. She flashed him a seductive smile and licked the cream off of the berry. Goliath felt the heat rising in his cheeks as he quickly looked away.

"I know that we have our patrol tonight my love, but I was thinking that Coldstone and Coldfire could go in our place. Since it has been a year since we've been bonded I thought that we should celebrate."

"A…a ye…" Goliath began to stammer.

"It's so cute that you sent up my favorite treat for it." Demona smiled wide. Goliath's heart skipped a beat. He had forgotten how lovely that smile was. It lit up the rest of her features and that was his favorite site in the world. "I know I'm feeling a little sick right now, but I seem to be feeling better and in a couple of hours I should be ready to go out." She picked up a second berry and dipped it in the cream as she spoke. "You know me so well." She sighed as she savored the taste of it.

Of course, I know you. You were the love of my life and then you betrayed us all. Goliath sat next to her and looked at her as if seeing her for the first time in centuries. Demona began to feel strange under his gaze. She picked up another berry and after she dipped it in the cream she began to rub it on Goliath's lips before he could react.

"I wouldn't want to get this dirty." Demona took off her halter top and kissed him roughly. She reveled in the taste of the cream, and the feeling of his lips on hers excited her and she took his hand and placed it on her breast causing her to moan into his mouth as they continued to kiss. As they took a moment to catch their breath she smiled wickedly at him and stood slowly and removed her loincloth as she slowly slid it off of her hips and down her long legs. Goliath stared in awe and wanted nothing more at that moment then to take her and make her his angel again.

"Goliath, we need to talk…Now!" Brooklyn called from the doorway. Goliath and Demona quickly turned and were surprised to see him there staring at them in shock.

"I asked for my beloved's help since I haven't been feeling well." Demona explained.

"Yeah, I think we all know what you were doing Demona." Brooklyn growled as he could feel his heart race while he watched her quickly dress. She stopped suddenly and gave him a confused look and then shrugged as she pulled back on her halter top.

"Who's Demona?" Demona asked suddenly as Goliath got up to join Brooklyn. "Is she a new member of the clan?"

"Absolutely not!" Brooklyn said instantly. Goliath just shook his head and motioned for him to be silent.

"I need you to stay here and try to feel better." Goliath said as he and Brooklyn left the room. That was strange. He looked at me with so much animosity. It's as if he thinks I am this Demona he spoke of. I will have to let him know I am not the same one he thinks I am. Demona thought while she poured some of the wine into the glass and sat back and took a sip. She sighed then. Goliath even remembered my favorite wine. I hope he comes back soon so we can finish what we started. She grinned at the thought and finished the glass and poured another. Who was that short red gargoyle? Why hasn't my rookery sister been here to visit me?

"Goliath, what in the hell do you think you're doing?" Brooklyn asked in a fierce whisper as he looked around to make sure no one else was around.

"Calm yourself. She caught me by surprise. I did not initiate what was happening." He sighed then before continuing on. "The infection has brought on some kind of short term memory loss. We need to handle this gently. I don't know what she knows and what she doesn't."

"She must have lost a considerable amount of her memory if she believes that you two are still on good terms." Brooklyn shook his head and sighed. "So, what do we tell her?"

"For now nothing, we need to wait and see if her memories will return in time, or if they ever come back." Brooklyn studied his leaders face for a moment.

"You're hoping that her memories never return, aren't you?" Brooklyn asked suddenly. Goliath froze mid step and thought about it for a moment.

"Perhaps I am. Things would be considerably easier on all of us if she never remembered her traumatic past." Goliath replied.

"You can't be serious. It wouldn't be real Goliath. That gargoyle in there that's full of love and hope is not the real Demona. At least it isn't her anymore." Brooklyn pointed out.

"Either way we need to approach this carefully and allow her to remember things on her own. If we try to push her into remembering she may have a breakdown and get worse." Goliath advised.

"I will not say anything for now, but we need to be ready for when her memory does return. I'm going to let everyone else know as quietly as possible." Brooklyn sighed and began to walk down the hall. "Goliath, you need to control yourself around her. If you take advantage of her while her memory is gone she will make all of our lives hell when she regains it." Brooklyn left Goliath to think over what he said. Making up his mind Goliath began to walk towards his mentor's room.

Demona softly closed the door. Who is this Demona? If she means my beloved harm I will hunt her down and kill her myself. Demona vowed as she limped back to the bed and sat back down to enjoy the berries and wine that her beloved had brought her. I wish we could enjoy these together.

"Is he feeling better?" Angela turned and saw Elisa standing in the doorway.

"You came back." Angela was surprised Elisa was already visiting her and Matt. Elisa gave the gargoyle a quick hug as she sat down next to her.

"Of course I did. I told you I would be back." Elisa grinned at her and then looked at Matt. She became worried when she realized that he didn't appear to be any better. "I can't help but wonder what it is about Matt that made you fall in love with him." Elisa said without taking her eyes off of Matt. "He's human and I know from experience how hard it is for a human to have a relationship with a gargoyle."

"Are you saying I can't love him simply because he's human?" Angela was shocked that Elisa would say that to her. Her voice grew cold as she continued. "Well, I do love him. He is amazing. He's kind, brave, and cares for me more than anyone else I have ever known. When I was hurt he didn't have to take care of me, but he did because that is how kind he is."

"I know how good he is, but I have to ask because there are things that you could do to hurt him without intending to." Elisa pointed out.

"My father already spoke with me about being careful if I choose to mate with him." Angela stated in a matter of fact tone. Elisa's cheeks turned a dark red and tried to think of what to say.

"I…didn't even consider that. I meant…" Elisa stammered feeling embarrassed by the direction the conversation began to go.

"I know that I will need to be careful and after what happened I will be very careful in the future." Angela looked at her and grabbed Elisa's hand to get her attention. "I will take care of him for as long as we are together. I swear to you that he will be safe with me from now on."

"How can you guarantee that after what happened?" Angela was quiet for a moment after Elisa asked her question.

"I will leave it up to Matt. If he feels that I am too dangerous for him to love then I will have no choice but to let him go." She looked away from Elisa has her vision began to blur.

"For what it is worth Angela I really hope you find the happiness you're looking for." Elisa noticed then that the young gargoyles shoulders were shaking as she began to cry. Elisa felt for her at that moment and wrapped her arms around Angela and held her close to her until she began to calm down. "Do you think perhaps you will give Broadway another chance?"

"Sh…she better…not." Both Elisa and Angela turned quickly and Angela quickly grabbed Matt's hand and smiled down at him in relief. "I'm really sorry Angela. I should nev…" Matt began to get up but found it was too painful to move.

"It's alright, I never should have reacted the way I did." Angela gripped his hand tight in her own. "Can you forgive me for…?" Matt put his finger to her lips and grinned up at her.

"If it is okay with you I would like for us to have a fresh start if you still want to be with me." Angela smiled and leaned down and kissed him as gently as she could to avoid hurting him. Elisa quietly left the room to give them some privacy and was surprised to see that Demona was standing in the doorway. She was leaning heavily on the door frame.

"Wh…what are you doing here?" Elisa asked as she backed away from the door to allow Demona to step inside.

"I was looking for my beloved, but as I was walking by I was intrigued to see one of my own kissing a human." Demona walked closer to the young couple and grinned down at them. "Don't worry I'm not here to start a fight. It just reminded me of Draco and Katharine's relationship before he broke her heart."

Her beloved, who is she talking about? She doesn't mean Goliath or does she? Elisa was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

"May I have a moment alone with her? I just need to discuss a few things." Demona requested. Matt and Elisa looked at her in surprise but nodded. Angela slowly stood looking at her mother suspiciously. She walked out into the hall to join her after giving Matt another quick kiss.

"What's this about?" Angela asked as she silently closed the door. Demona thought about how to word what she wanted to say for a moment.

"Well, I just wanted to make sure you know what you will be giving up if you go down this path." Demona said gently has she sat down on one of the chairs against the wall next to Matt's room.

"What exactly do you think I will be giving up?" Angela asked beginning to feel annoyed with the conversation. Demona sighed as she thought of the best way to say what she meant.

"Well, humans typically live about half as long as we do, and you'll never know what it's like to have an egg of your own." Demona pointed out.

"I don't care about any of that. I love him and that's all that matters." Angela snarled. Demona just smiled at her and continued on.

"I know the excitement your feeling from being in love my dear. I feel the same way with Goliath every day. I've never told anyone this, but I went out of my way to make him notice me. I feel really embarrassed when I think of all that I did now." Demona chuckled for a moment and continued on. "When a rival for his affections came into the picture by the name of Circe I became instantly jealous and I wanted to find any way I could to get rid of the competition, but I knew that he would never love me unless I did things the right way."

I can't believe she's telling me all of this. Angela sat there in stunned silence as Demona continued her story.

"When I went to speak with Circe to resolve our competition she struck me, and I admit that I let my anger get the best of me and challenged her without thinking." Demona shook her head and whispered something inaudible.

"Challenged her to what?" Angela prodded.

"A fight to the death, it was stupid but I felt then that I had no choice." Demona replied. "If she refused she would be dishonored so she reluctantly accepted." Demona sighed bitterly. "A part of me wishes I could take it back. After I won I gained the attention and respect of our clan's greatest warrior, Goliath." Demona said proudly.

"That sounds barbaric." Angela said suddenly. "What does any of this have to do with me and Matt?"

"Well, you and this Matt now believe that love will conquer all but I wanted to make sure that you know what you'll be giving up. I didn't realize that until Circe died and it's haunted me every day since." Demona put her hand on her daughter's shoulder then. "Remember Draco also outgrew Katharine and I think we all know how that turned out." Demona chuckled at that.

"I don't think I remember that." Angela said confused by what Demona was saying to her.

"Are you from another clan?" Demona asked curiously then waved it off. "It doesn't matter. He outgrew her and then ended things with the young princess very abruptly. It crushed her and she has been treating us all very bad since." Demona was quiet for a moment as she studied Angela. "You don't look like anyone I know. What clan did you come from?" Demona asked with genuine interest.

"Goliath saved me and brought me here." Angela didn't know what was going on with her mother but for now she thought it would be wise to not tell her too much until she could speak with her father about it.

"That sounds like him. That's one reason that I fell in love with him. He's the kindest and strongest gargoyle I have ever seen." Demona stood to leave. "I don't want to sound like I don't want you to follow your heart, but I wanted you to know the sacrifices that you will be making. Also, keep in mind that humans are much weaker and more fragile than we are." Demona grinned at her and walked down the hall to look for Goliath.

What is wrong with her? Angela shook her head and walked back into the room to be with Matt.

"Goliath, I'm glad I found you…Oh, hey Hudson." Puck appeared on the walkway on the battlements of the castle.

"Did you find a way to help Demona and Matt?" Goliath asked before Puck could continue.

"Matt will be fine on his own. The glass that caused the infection carried a poison that is causing her mind to slowly deteriorate. I need to give her this before she loses all of the memories she has." Puck said hurriedly.

"Slow down lad. How do you know this will happen?" Hudson asked concerned about what Puck was telling them.

"Oberon showed me. I don't have time to explain now. Where is she? I need to see her now, or you will lose her forever." Goliath didn't know what to think, but thought it would be best to heed Puck's advice in this.

"Very well, but I want to know what is happening so I will walk with you. Come, she is this way." The three of them walked back inside the castle and walked towards Demona's room.

"Goliath, we need to talk to you now!" They turned quickly and saw Broadway, Brooklyn, and Lexington rushing up to them.

"What are you three doing here?" Goliath asked without slowing down as the six of them began walking forward again.

"You can't allow Angela to marry that human. She is mine. We were meant to be together." Broadway nearly shouted.

"I'm here because Demona has to go. She will remember who she is sooner or later and will become our enemy once again." Brooklyn said angrily. Goliath growled menacingly and turned slowly towards them and his eyes began to burn a bright white.

"I'm only here to say that if our guests are going to remain here long we need to get more supplies." Lexington quieted back down as everyone glared at him.

"I will not cast her out. She has been injured helping us and I will not turn my back on her." Goliath growled. "And you" He said turning towards Broadway. "Angela is not a hatchling. If she wants to be with you then so be it, but if she wants to be with him then you will respect that. IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?"

"But…" Broadway began. Goliath came within one inch of him and shouted directly into his face.

"I SAID IS THAT UNDERSTOOD!" Broadway just nodded. Brooklyn and Lexington backed up slowly. "Now, we need to get to Demona to help her while we still can, or would you prefer to waste my time further?" He snapped irritably. Before any of them could move Xanatos came up to them from the door leading outside.

"I thought I heard you guys in here." Brooklyn and Lexington rushed forward to help Lauren and the baby.

"What happened?" Goliath asked and ordered them to be taken to one of the spare rooms inside the main building one floor below the castle. "We don't know if they've seen a gargoyle before." Goliath explained when they looked at him questioningly.

"That's what I wanted to speak with you about. I need your help…actually I need Demona's help. It's about Fox. She's been taken." Goliath became concerned about the urgency in his voice.

"Follow us" Goliath said and the group continued walking down the hall.
