Disturbance For the Clan (a couple weeks)

As time moved on, Goliath seemed that his life was now going to have some good memories in it. Yes, he had to worry about the Quarrymen but from what he had learned from many people, it would be no different from typical racism. But that still didn't stop Goliath from wondering how long his happiness was going to last. He had a wonderful human woman by his side. But not only was she his friend but also someone he loved very much. And they were now going to get married.

He knew they weren't ever going to be able to ever have a proper love life but that didn't bother him. Just having her by his side, being able to wake with her always waiting for him was good enough for him. She was his friend, comrade in arms, someone to love and she was always there to give advice even if he didn't want to hear it. Life for his daughter wasn't that shabby either.

Angela was able to convince Demona that her evil ways was pointless. Demona was practically making Angela choose between her and the clan. It was a choice that Angela did not like but she was going to make her choice. But not only was she able to help Demona, she was now had full capability to see the humans who raised her and her rookery brothers and sisters.

Thanks to Lord Oberon, he made it possible for Princess Katherine and Thomas to see Castle Wyvern and for Angela to visit her family, who she missed dearly. But it wasn't Oberon who really made the passage possible; it was his wife, Queen Titania. She convinced Oberon to open a portal.

With all that said and done, Goliath now had time to spend with the love of his life, Elisa Maza. Elisa had been busy with breaking in a new officer for the police department but luckily she only had to be with him for a week. Once the week was over, Elisa was back being partnered with Matt Bluestone.

Noticing that Elisa was not at the castle, Goliath quickly took to the air. He didn't even wait to tell the others where he was going. But as he jumped into the air, the others noticed him.

"I suppose Elisa isn't here tonight," Brooklyn said. "He must be on his way to see her."

"Well if I remember correctly," Angela answered, "she said tonight was her night off. She's been pretty busy these last couple weeks."

"Yeah," Lexington said. "They haven't even had much time to prepare for their wedding. Any idea who will perform the ceremony?"

"Probably the same one who performed Xanatos," Hudson answered. "You all know your job."

The trio looked at Hudson and groaned, giving their replies as 'yeah, we know'. Angela and Hudson shook their heads are their childish acting.

As Goliath glided through the air, he suddenly felt like he was being watched. He knew he wasn't in any danger of being shot at by any Quarrymen or other Anti-Gargoyle citizens but he did feel like he was being watched from a distance. Once he glided around a building, the uneasy feeling vanished. He landed on a perch of the building and slowly walked around, facing where he had just come. He took a scan across the nearby rooftops to see if anyone was watching. When he felt the cost was clear, he expanded his wings, allowing the wind to lift him off the building.

He soon landed on Elisa's rooftop. He folded his wings and peered into the window. He saw no lights on but he did see Cadney walk out of the bedroom. Goliath slightly smiled as he realized that she was still asleep, indicating that she was on her night off.

He lightly tapped the window to see if it was locked, when he found it unlocked, he quietly crept into the room and closed the window. With careful ease he walked to the room where he knew she was in.

In the darkened room, he could see her small frame curled up on the bed. The sheet clung her to body like a second skin. Walking closer, he noticed that she was wearing a pale blue spaghetti strap top. She was too precious to disturb but he was hoping that she would spend some time with him. Reluctantly, he carefully poked her, mindful of his claws.

He frowned when she didn't even move. Using a little more pressure, he gently touched her arm and called her name.

At the sound of her name, Elisa slowly came out of her pleasant dream. She had dreamt of her wedding to Goliath. She hoped her wedding would be as good as her dream. Her senses quickly came to her when she realized that there was something warm touching her arm. She slightly turned only to see the Gargoyle of her dreams.

"Goliath," she said tiredly.

Goliath smiled. "Are you planning on sleeping all night as well?" He knew that she had slept most of the day since she got off.

Elisa chuckled. "It would be nice. But then tomorrow I wouldn't be able to sleep before my shift tomorrow."

"Well then I think it's time to get up. I was slightly wondering why you weren't at the castle. You always are unless you were already hot on a trail or just didn't get time. But you always call, when that happens."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You do need your sleep as much as the rest of us. So what is your plans tonight?"

Elisa pulled the sheet away from her, revealing a two-piece pyjama suit and quickly wrapped her arms around the lavender gargoyle's neck. "I'm all yours," she smiled.

Goliath quickly stood to his full height, taking the woman off the bed and wrapped his arms and wings around her. Most women would be nervous to feel leather with bone membrane around her bare arms, but not Elisa. She loved the feel of the leather holding her secure in the arms she loved.

"You know," she said. "I could get used to this. Waking up with you is going to nice."

"Elisa that's another thing. I would feel safer if you were to move into the castle now. I know you are planning on moving in when we get married. I can protect you better this way."

"Goliath. I don't like Xanatos. He hurt my family by turning Derrick into a gargoyle. I can't condone him for that."

"I know, Elisa. He has harmed everyone at one point or another. Don't forget when we first met, he knew Demona was already alive and hid that fact from me…from all of us. But he has helped us greatly when the Quarrymen began their attack. He allowed us back at our ancestry home and he's even saved our lives on a few occasions."

"I know but…"

"Elisa, I didn't come over here to debate with you about living arrangements. I'm not asking you to move in right this minute. I'm asking you to think about moving in before we are married."

"So what brings you here?" she asked, changing the subject.

"Isn't it allowed for a Gargoyle to see the one he loves?" he smiled.

"I suppose not. Why don't you wait for me in the living room, while I get dressed and then will get to our plans?"

"Now that sounds like a plan." He quickly pushed her out of his protected arms and left the room. He didn't have to wait long before she was dressed in red sweats, with her hair in a ponytail.

"Would you like something to eat?" she asked as she emerged from her room.

"I would love to." He walked over to the sofa. Grabbing the remote, he decided to check to see what was on TV.

When Elisa had breakfast ready, Goliath did not need to be told the food was ready, he could easily smell it. He stood from the sofa and walked to the kitchen where he grabbed a plate, before she had the chance. He also grabbed her one too. The two then quietly walked over to the sofa and watched the program Goliath had left on, which ended up being a rerun of an old comedy show.

When their plates were empty, the two silently looked over at the window before looking at each other. Elisa nodded her silent yes as she knew he wanted to stretch his wings again. With the plates forgotten, Goliath turned off the TV and pulled Elisa to her feet. She went willingly as he pulled her to the window. She quickly pulled away and ran over to the door, turning off the light before she quickly made her way back to the opened window.

Goliath never gave her a chance to climb out; he swiftly grabbed her arms and pulled her out of the window. He used his free hand to close the window before sweeping her into his arms. He jumped off the roof, expanding his wings to allow the wind currents to lift them higher into the air. Luckily for Elisa the weather was still warm so she didn't need to worry about a jacket.

Unknown to them, they were being watched from a nearby rooftop. The watcher stayed well hidden in the shadows. The dark figure then pulled out a radio. "She has just left with the Gargoyle."

"Good." A voice came through the speaker. "They will be tailed but from a distance. I have plans for you."

It was nearing midnight when Goliath decided to take the small woman back to her nest. During their flight, neither one spoke. They were just enjoying each other's company that they decided not to even talk about plans. They even landed on the Empire State Building and cuddled into each other, just enjoying the silence. They couldn't really hear too many sounds from the height they were at. When Goliath noticed that she was beginning to chill, he decided that perhaps it was time to snap down to reality and get with their plans.

As they approached the apartment, Elisa felt Goliath tense up. She knew when he tensed, he could sense something was wrong and she never ignored that instinct of his. It was that instinct that made him realize all those years ago, that the Vikings had set a trap for the Wyvern Clan.

"What's wrong?" she asked, breaking the silence.

"I'm not sure, but something doesn't feel right," he answered. "Elisa, do you have your gun?"

"Yes," she answered slowly. "I always carry it with me."

As Goliath made his approach towards the apartment he noticed a window opened and Cadney on the ledge. Elisa also noticed this as well. She quickly reached into her sweatshirt and pulled out her piece. Goliath changed his position of holding her by letting go of her feet. His one arm supported her for a moment until his other could also hold her. She positioned herself so she could jump out of his arms as soon as he touched down.

He wasn't on the roof ten seconds before she scrambled out his arms and began to cautiously entered her apartment through the broken window. Goliath, after making sure Cadney was ok, carefully went through as well. He had to be sure his wings didn't catch on the shards of glass.

With her main living area being a huge area, she only had two rooms to worry about, the bathroom and the bedroom. She slowly crept herself over to the bedroom door, waiting for Goliath to get to her. When he was beside her, she kicked open her door, readying herself for anything. Goliath stayed still as she surveyed the room with her eyes and gun when she knew the room was felon free, she moved away from the bedroom and did the same thing to the bathroom.

"There's no one here," Goliath said quietly, anger barely contained in his voice. Who the hell would disrupt his evening with his beloved?

"Goliath, don't touch anything," she said. Keeping the gun in one hand, she walked over to the light switch. Using the sleeve of shirt, she flicked the light on. To her and Goliath's surprising eyes, her whole apartment was turned over.

Goliath's eyes glowed white as his anger consumed him. "When I get my hands on the ones who did this…"

"Goliath, whoever did this must have been staking me out and is long gone," she interrupted. "They must have been watching you as well."

Elisa walked over to her fallen phone and used her sleeves to put the receiver back on the phone, allowing the phone to stop being dead. As soon as the phone gave a dial tone, she called the police. When the task was done, she walked over the broken window and called her cat. Cadney went to her without hesitation.

When she turned back around, she gasped in alarm. "Goliath, come here."

Taking note the tone of her voice sounded urgent, he walked over. She was pointing to the opposite wall where he had stood a moment before hand. He followed her point and gasped. A message in red spray paint was written along her wall. 'You're mine Maza! Not his. I will make you my wife'.

Before long the police arrived. Lucky for her, Matt and her captain were also there.

"Maza," Chavez called. "What happened?"

"Goliath and I went for a flight and when we returned we came upon this and that message."

Chavez tried to look at the message but she couldn't read it. She walked over to the broken window and was able to read the note. "Bluestone, I want this apartment completely checked."

"CSI is already on it," Matt answered. "From the looks of things, they broke in through the window as the door has no forced entry."

"Goliath," Chavez said as she walked back over to the large gargoyle. "Do you have anything to add?"

It took a moment for Goliath to acknowledge the woman was beside him. "On my way here, I felt as though I was being followed. I tried to see if I could see them, but I couldn't. Thinking that perhaps it was just some onlookers, I brushed it off…until now."

"You have anywhere to go?" Chavez turned to her officer.

"She'll stay at the castle where we can protect her," Goliath answered for her.

"Goliath!"

Goliath looked at the small woman. "Elisa, I'm not taking any chances. Who ever did this knows that we are getting married and there isn't very many people in the general public who knows."

"Goliath is right," Bluestone agreed. "You would be safer if you stayed with them. Even if you don't like Xanatos at least his stronghold will protect you."

"Are we done here?" Goliath asked.

"For now," Chavez answered. "Why don't you take your wife to be where she will be safe? Might as well take the cat too."

Elisa rolled her eyes in defeat. She had her captain and partner siding with Goliath. And of course when the other Gargoyles learnt of her brake in, they will insist on her staying as well. Goliath swiftly cuddled Elisa to his chest and walked to the broken window. Before venturing out, he grabbed Cadney and three took to the air, allowing the police and investigators to do their job.
