(Jean's P.O.V.)
"Goliath, get her!", Demona ordered, but he didn't obey her. Demona then started to run after her sister. "Jean, catch it!", Light said as she threw the book to me. I caught it, and I started to run, but Demona grabbed me by the throat.
"You fool! Do you think I've come this far just to let you stop me now?", Demona snarled as she took the book, and threw me on the ground as I landed near Light.
"Jean, are you okay?", Light asked in concern as she helped me up. "I've never felt better.", I grinned softly as I shook my head lightly, and Brooklyn then came to our side.
"Goliath, destroy them!", Demona shouted furiously. Goliath just stood there, doing nothing. "I hold the book, you must obey me.", Demona said with a snarl.
"You hold the book, sister, but I hold the spell.", Light said with a smirk as she was holding two pieces of paper. "Nice job! Our plan worked!", Brooklyn said with a grin.
"Goliath, take her!", Light yelled out, and Goliath then charged at Demona. She then started to run, and she flew out a window. "Let's follow them!", Brooklyn shouted as he flew after them.
Light then picked me up, and we were now outside. I then saw Demona throw the book, and it was falling to the ocean, but I quickly used my telekinesis to stop the book from falling, and I had to float it to where we were.
"Nice work, Jean.", Light said with a grin. "No problem.", I said with a wink at her. Light then landed on the ground, and we saw Goliath and Brooklyn, but we didn't see Demona anywhere.
"My sister must have run off.", Light muttered with a sigh. "She sure is sneaky.", I said with a nod of agreement. "Let's head back to the castle.", I said as I glanced to check the skies.
It was becoming the gray color of pre-morning before sunrise. "Goliath, follow us.", Light ordered softly as she had picked me up, and we were off with Goliath following us.
We soon got back to the castle, and Light tried every spell in the book, but it didn't work as Goliath's eyes were still green. "I've gone through the Grimorum page by page, but I don't know how to reverse the spell my sister put on Goliath.", Light said with a frustrated growl.
"You mean he is going to be like this forever?", Broadway asked in shock as he looked at Goliath with horror. "I don't know if you can understand me, Goliath, but I'm sorry.", Brooklyn said, looking upset and so apologetic as he bowed his head sadly.
"Hand me the spell.", I said softly as a idea came to me, and Light handed the spell to me. I then walked over to Goliath, and I placed my hand on his forehead while in my other hand, I was holding the spell.
I then used my telepathic powers. "Goliath, I order you to act for the rest of your life exactly as you would if you were not under a spell.", I said clearly and loudly. Goliath then closed his eyes, and when he opened them, they were normal. The spell broke!
He smiled at me gratefully, "Very clever, Jean.". I smiled happily as I then hugged Goliath, and I briefly felt the strength in his arms as he hugged me back before I stepped back, struggling to hide my blush.
"Goliath, I'm just so shocked to see what my sister has become. I can't believe that she tried to mind control you.", Light said, looking so upset and hurt.
"Light, there's no need to apologize for Demona's faults. She had done it all herself in anger, and she acted selfish. We might see her again, but we will protect you from her as you are part of this clan, Light.". Goliath rumbled softly with a stern and warm look at Light.
I then went over, and patted Light's arm gently. I saw that she smiled at me gratefully with a slight nod of warmth. "Goliath, I'm sorry.", Brooklyn said with a pained look.
"You apologized once already, Brooklyn. I could hear, even though I could not act.", Goliath said with a smile, reassuring Brooklyn who returned a weak smile at him.
After that, the Gargoyles went over to stand on the edge as dawn was approaching. "What happened to the motorcycle?", Lexington asked curiously. "It blew up.", Brooklyn said, looking sheepish with a weak smile.
"Oh...what?!" Lexington shouted as he turned to stone with a shocked look on his face. I giggled a bit as I then saw Light turn back into her human form. "Well, it's time to head home.", Elisa said with a grin.
After getting to the bottom floor, Elisa then gave me a ride to the Avengers Tower, I said goodbye to her and Light. I then went inside, and after the elevator ride up, I went into the main room.
"Hey, Jean. Once again, you were hanging out with your new friend, Elisa?", Natasha asked with a curious look at me. "Yep, we had a great time.", I said with a chuckle and a grin.
"Well, what did you guys do?", Bruce asked curiously with a hint of intrigued interest. "Elisa took me on a tour...of the Xanatos building. You can see it from here.", I lied, smiling as I gestured outside the Tower.
"You went to see David Xanatos?", Tony asked in shock. "I can see the tower.", Bruce said with a whistle of amazement.
"It is pretty tall.", Natasha said, looking impressed. "The building looks like it's rising above the clouds.", Steve said with awe.
"Please don't tell me that you became friends with Xanatos!". Tony pleaded desperately with a hint of anxiety. "Don't worry, I didn't make friends with Xanatos, and besides, he is in jail.", I said with a huff.
"Jail?! What for?", Tony asked in confusion and curiosity. "For some blackmailing, but I don't remember what else Elisa said about him getting arrested for.", I said with a slightly clueless shrug.
"Well, that's good news for awhile as I can get some new products into the public without him slandering me...again!". Tony grinned in delight before he sneered slightly. "Sounds like Jean had a great day. What about you guys?". Steve smirked softly as he asked curiously, looking at the others.
"I heard from a rumor, saying that some bikers saw some strange creature riding a motorcycle.", Bruce said with a bemused expression. "Yeah, they said that the creature looked like a gargoyle.", Natasha nodded in agreement, having a thoughtful look.
"Gargoyles again? Come on, guys, they're a myth! Remember what I said yesterday?". Steve muttered lowly with a roll of his eyes. "I don't know, Steve. I mean, it might be true.", Tony said with a curious and intrigued look on his face, shrugging with indecision.
"But remember what I said, guys. It's just a rumor.", I said with a nod. "You're right, Jean. Now what are we having for dinner? And no, Tony, no sharwama again! I had enough of that last month!", Steve nodded, before changing the topic, and playfully glaring at Tony who had a innocent look on his face.
Some time later, I was then in my room, and I was watching tv. I then heard a sound come from my laptop, and I saw that it was Mystique calling me through Skype, or as we like to call her, Raven.
I accepted the video chat. "Hi, Raven.", I said with a grin. "Hi, Jean.", Raven said with a nod and a smile. "What are you calling me for?", I asked curiously with a bit of concern.
"I'm just calling to warn you that the other day, I and the team were on a mission, and we fought with Erik and a few of his mutant goons. And as usual, he, of course, asked about you.", Raven said with a sigh, and a deadpan look.
I growled lightly before I shouted, "Why couldn't that bastard let go of that?! I won't be his fucking girlfriend for shit!". I shimmered lowly, panting as Raven silently waited for me to settle down before she then spoke wisely.
"Erik is stubborn, and he won't give up ever. Anyway, I have to go as I have to teach a class. It was nice talking to you, Jean.", Raven said with a nod. "It was nice to talk to you too. Bye, Raven.", I said with a nod.
"Bye, Jean.", Raven said with a slight smile before the video chat ended, and I sighed heavily as I closed my laptop. Erik really still believes that I would want to be his girlfriend! He is crazy to think that I would be with him! I would rather be with Goliath than with him!
Speaking of which, as now that I have met Goliath's ex mate, Demona, I had a strange feeling that I would be seeing her again, and that she won't be too happy to see me either. I still felt bad for Light as she has been wanting to see her sister for so many years, only for her sister to have become a cruel and heartless Gargoyle.
I sighed as I kept watching the movie on my tv. A while later, I was reading a book before I go off to sleep. Even though I was reading, my mind was still on Goliath. I keep blushing at the thought of him, but like Light said, I have to get to know him first.
I then fell asleep, and I was having this nightmare. I found myself at the castle, and I saw Erik using his powers to have a sword float behind Goliath's back.
"Goliath!", I shouted in horror and fear as I reached out for him. "Don't try to get any closer, Jean.", Erik warned lowly, and I stopped momentarily, yet I kept edging to reach Goliath.
"Jean, please just leave me!", Goliath said with a pleading look at me. "I won't!", I shouted in fury and determination.
"What do you see in this Gargoyle?", Erik asked with a upset look. "He is a Gargoyle with a heart unlike you!", I shouted with a growl. "I do have a heart for you!", Erik shouted at me, looking furious.
"Bastard! What you have is an obsession, Erik! That's not love!", I shouted at him angrily. "What do you know?! You loved that Scott guy, and you broke up with him. You should love me instead!".
"I love Goliath!", I shouted back at him, determination and courage filling through me. "What did you say?", Erik asked, a steely glare in his eyes as he looked at me with shock and disbelief.
"I said that I love Goliath! I would rather be with him than you!", I said with a snarl. "Jean...". Goliath rumbled softly with love and amazement in his eyes.
Then to my horror, I saw the sword go through Goliath's chest. "NO!", I shouted as I ran over to Goliath. "Goliath, please don't die on me.", I said as I was starting to sob, but Goliath wasn't moving.
"He's dead, Jean.", Erik said with a nasty smile. "You killed him!", I snarled angrily with pain and loss in my heart.
"The Gargoyle's dead. Come with me, and be my girlfriend, Jean.". Erick said lowly. "How many times do I have to say that I don't love you! I love Goliath!", I shouted furiously with tears falling down my face.
Erik then glared at me, and he grabbed me by the wrists. "Then I'll do it by force once again. Come with me, Jean.". Erik growled lightly before he then kissed me, and I was struggling to get free.
Then I woke up gasping for air, looking around frantically. I then realized that it was just a nightmare yet it felt so real. I would have to do everything I can to protect Goliath..and his clan, if Erik was to ever find out about them.
