Meanwhile across the city Demona had just arrived at her apartment getting things ready for
Angela's visit when she heard someone glide onto her balcony and lightly tap on the window.
Demona opened the window and a look of surprise crossed her face.
"Goliath, I thought you were Angela. "
"No. She's with the others tonight. We need to talk."
"Really? So where's your human girlfriend goliath?" Demona asked walking into her
living room and taking a seat on the couch. Goliath came in and joined her
"Im worried about Angela" He replied ignoring her question
"Angela?"
"Yes, I want to know what game your playing with her this time Demona"
"Game there is no game. Believe it or not Goliath I love Angela and she loves me. Of
course I don't expect a fool who saved his human girlfriend and let his mate fall along with pieces
of the castle to her death to understand." She growled. Her red eyes glowing.
"Elisa, was, is my friend Demona. I couldn't let her die."
"Yet you could let me. You didn't care about me. Sometimes I wonder if you ever did.
You may think I betrayed you all but in reality you betrayed me as well." She replied standing up
and pointing to the door. Goliath sighed this was going to be a lot harder than he thought.
"How did we betray you?"
"You left me to die Goliath. Not once. But twice."
"I thought you were smashed with the others. I told you that. And when Xanatos revived
us and I saw you. I was truly happy. I did love and care about you Demona . . . " He paused " I
still do." She looked at him with shock and he shook his head. "Enough about the past. Everyone
has been telling me that you've changed. Is that true?"
"You and the clan are still alive aren't you. Your pet humans are still alive."
"Yes, but you know very well that Angela would hate you if you hurt us or them."
"It's not about Angela. It never was. I admit what I did before was wrong, but you have
to agree that there is some truth in my madness."
"Yes there is truth. Most of the humans will never accept us but there are some who do
Like Elisa." Demona snorted
"Loyalty to a human. Humph. I once thought the way you did. I became immortal to save
my clan and I joined up with Macbeth to save my kingdom and his. I saved him and his wife once
or twice and he betrayed me. I saved Brooklyn from those bikers. See I'm not all bad. I just
wanted justice and a home for my clan and I wanted . . . "
"Wanted what Demona?"
"Love." Goliath looked at her in surprise
"Don't be so surprised Goliath. I am still capable of that emotion. I haven't forgotten it."
"You haven't?"
"No. You know as well as I do if all this hadn't happened between us. I still would be
part of the clan and I would still have you." A look of shock then understanding went across his
face.
"You've always had me Demona."
"Always?"
"Always. When I asked you to give us that access code, I did it not only to save the
humans but to save you as well. I still love and care for you Demona. So does the clan. Even
though we don't show it. We do." She grinned.
"Well, I haven't exactly made it easy for you." Goliath smiled
"No, you haven't. He paused. "Demona, Angela said something about the humans
betraying you before and after we were gone. What did they do to you?" Demona looked at him
and sighed.
"They've done nothing but betray me and my clan over and over again."
"I don't understand."
"First they murdered my parents and used me for things that I wont talk about because
they're too horrible. I made that deal with the captain so we could have a place to call our own
and he promised not to hurt you, but he did. I didn't get lost like I said. I waited until nightfall and
came back to the castle. Thinking that our brothers and sisters were still alive. They were all
smashed. I sat there and balled like a spoiled gargoyle adolescent that wasn't getting her way then
I saw you. I was so ashamed of what I had done that I hid from you and didn't come back until
you all were under that spell. I cried then too, Goliath. Knowing that I couldn't stay I kissed you
goodbye and one of my tears flowed into your eyes. That's when I knew I had to get revenge on
the humans. They had betrayed us all. They took everything from me. My parents, both of my
clans, Angela, and most important of all you. They still do even now."
"Demona, we're born to protect."
"I wasn't talking about those humans. " Goliath looked at her for a moment then it hit
him.
"Elisa. You're talking about Elisa."
"Very good Goliath."
"You feel threatened by Elisa not only because she's human, but she has me?" Demona
looked away. Sensing her hurt Goliath walked up to her and wrapped his talons around her
shoulders.
"Demona, Elisa and I are just friends" She lowered her head as feelings of insecurity
plagued her. Knowing the look on Demona's face caused Goliath's heart to sink and he
desperately wanted to rid his angel love of these nasty feelings he was picking up.
"I've seen the passionate hugs and such between you two Goliath. That should be . . .
"Should be what Demona?"
"It should be me. I know that I have made some serious mistakes but Im trying to rectify
all that. I've stopped messing around with and tormenting the humans. They have nothing to fear
from me."
"You're retiring." She nodded.
"Its no fun and no point to it anymore. Besides it hurts my daughter when I do that."
"I don't think she's the only one that hurts. We do as well and so do you." She looked at
him in surprise.
"Don't look so surprised my love. As I said before you and I are one." Goliath whispered
moving his talons and tentively wrapping his arms around her waist. Instinctively Demona
stiffened for a moment then realizing that Goliath wasn't going to hurt her she sank into his
embrace and rested her head against his chest. Picking up on what, she was thinking.
"I would never hurt you on purpose my love." Demona nesseled herself in his comforting
embrace and sighed. For she didn't know if she believed him. Noticing her reluctance Goliath
gently wrapped his tail around hers and rubbed it causing her to moan. Feeling uncharateristicly
shaky Demona gulped and whispered.
"Goliath don't do this unless you mean it." Determined to show her that he meant it.
Goliath scooped her up into his arms and headed for the bedroom.
Once there Goliath gently placed his angel love on the bed and took her talons into his. Not sure
what to do Demona looked at him and he smiled.
"Relax my love. I'm not going to hurt you." Believing him she relaxed and seductively
rubbed her tail against his.
Seeing that she finally was trusting him Goliath gently took his other claw and began to make
little circles along her arm and wrist. Enjoying what he was doing she closed her eyes in bliss and
a low full of a pleasure growl issued from her throat. Goliath's smile grew even more devious as a
thought entered his mind. Making eye contact he slowly raised his hand and licked one of her
talons. Feeling his tongue on her talon Demona's eyes snapped open and gave him a look.
"What are you doing?"
"Tasting you." He answered sucking /licking/ and nibbling each one of her talons. She let
him continue for a few moments then pulled away. He was about to protest when he felt her claws
lightly run up and down his chest tickling him. Goliath closed his eyes in pleasure as goose bumps
appeared all over his lavender skin.
"Umm Demona."
"Yes." She purred running one hand down his back caressing the spot between his wings
and sliding her tail over his. Feeling her tail sliding and rubbing seductively against his he arched
his back causing his angel to feel something she hadn't felt in more than a thousand years. Him
and how much he wanted her.
"Ooh you're a tad bit overdressed for our game my love." He whispered sliding his claws
under her and untiing the loincloths that kept her gorgeous body from his view.
"Hmm so are you my love." She whispered sliding her claws under his loincloth and
disposing of it. Hearing those words and feeling air against normally clothed parts of his skin he
opened his eyes and looked at her. Seeing understanding in his eyes Demona grinned and quickly
pulled the covers over them hiding them from view.
Angela's visit when she heard someone glide onto her balcony and lightly tap on the window.
