Chapter 2
Puck carried the toddler to the very top of Castle Wyvern. Tonight was a very special night. He would train the now one-year-old Alexander how to levitate. Flying was quite a few years away and Puck was sure his apt pupil could handle the simple task of making things float by pure thought.
As the trickster floated up to the very top he heard a conversation going on. It seemed Detective Bluestone was talking with Goliath about something important. He floated for a while before going all the way up.
"So, you saw Elisa last night?"
"Aye, she was with me at sunrise."
"Yeah!" the more comical voice of Broadway cut in, "She brought me a hoagie from that place by her apartment."
"And Elisa gave me her video camera to fix." That would be the young Lexington.
Puck decided to make his presence know. He had had a bad premonition earlier that morning about the detective. And even though she seemed to be much too down to Earth for his tastes, he had to admit the way she protected and stood with her friends was an incredible trait he thought most humans had lost.
With a pop he and his pupil were floating in front of the young, red haired Detective Bluestone.
"The beautiful Detective was giving off bad vibes this morning, if it may be of interest."
Matt involuntarily let off a curse as the faye popped out of nowhere. Still, the weird creature might help in locating his partner.
"Oh yeah? Why would you say that?"
Randomly Puck turned upside down, his white hair flipping as he did so. Alexander remained upright in the air.
"I sense things, okay?" Suddenly he was right side up and posing himself as a look alike Matt Bluestone. The gargoyles only shook their head, familiar with his antics.
"I detected, Detective, that something might be amiss with her. Perchance, something might happen to her."
Instantly Goliath, being as protective as he was, stepped forward with a severe look of anger on his face.
"Happen to her?"
Then the carbon copy of Elisa Maza herself was standing there. Alexander giggled as his teacher played around.
"Don't worry, Go-Li-Ath," "she winked. Instantly the façade was gone and Puck was there in his true form. He picked Alexander out of the air and held him in his arms.
"Maybe she was in a car accident or something."
The entire groups' eyes widened and mouths went slack as they looked at one another.
Puck rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Though...that might require a car."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Matt glared at Puck getting angry at the run around.
Owen Burnett was there, pushing his glasses up his nose, "Well, as I was doing rounds for Mr. Xanatos, it came to my attention that the Detective's car was still in the garage."
Matt broke out his pencil and pad of paper, " At what time was this?"
Puck was back, "A little after sunrise she left and it was about three hours ago that I checked the garage. You know...I think maybe something bad might have happened to her."
Goliath struggled to control his exasperation, biting down on his tongue.
"We should probably check the garage. Maybe there's something there that can tell us what happened." Matt turned toward the stairs.
"And miss a chance to show Alex how to pass through solid stone? I don't think so!" Puck grabbed Matt's arm and looked at his student, "Pay close attention, okay kid?"
Alex gurgled in response and Matt soon found himself falling through the stone floor.
As the three disappeared Goliath growled. Puck's voice rang through the air.
"Meet us down there, Goliath!"
Elisa rubbed her hands over her arms trying to get the feeling of their hands off of her. But they continued to burn into her skin.
And then there was the pain.
Unlike most of her coworkers at the station and maybe even Goliath thought she was a virgin. Well...
She let the tears flow.
She had been until an hour or so ago.
The Detective cringed and curled her still nude body into a tight ball. The cold floor really got to her now.
Leaning her head against the wall she let a sob leak out and then allowed the tears to run down her face and down her body.
"Goliath..."
The strong, male gargoyle turned looking in all the directions behind him. For a second he had felt as if someone had been calling him. He shook his head, convincing himself it was a trick of being in the mysterious underground garage.
Just up ahead was Puck, Alexander, and Matt. The detective was currently hunched over, and from the sounds of it was quickly loosing his dinner.
Lexington's face grimaced as the splat came.
Puck only rolled his eyes.
"Some people are such babies. No offense kid." Alexander wobbled his head and gurgled.
Matt finally finished and stood up wiping his mouth on his sleeve. He glared at Puck.
"Don't do that again."
Puck shrugged and continued floating around the car. He landed in front of Goliath.
"Listen, this has been fun, kids. But I've got a lesson to teach. See ya later!"
A puff of blue smoke and the two were gone.
Lexington walked over to the car and looked inside the window. He noticed the small button on the door was up and opened the door.
"It's unlocked."
Matt shook his head and looked at it.
"That's not like Elisa at all. Every since she got that key chain lock thing she never leaves her car open."
Matt inspected the handle. Aside from Lex's claw marks there were a few prints on the metal. His gaze wandered down to the ground. His eyebrows raised as he leaned down and touched a small puddle of something.
He dipped the very tip of his fingers into it and stood up. He brought it to his nose and took a small sniff. Matt involuntarily coughed and fell backwards. Goliath caught him with a single arm.
"What's the matter?"
The detective glared down at his fingers.
"Chloroform. It's a drug to knock people out."
Goliath and Lexington gasped.
"Does that mean...?" Lexington questioned.
"Elisa was abducted." Goliath finished making a fist.
The door opened once again. Bright light entered the room and Elisa's eyes narrowed. Even through the mask she could somehow tell it was Daniel.
"What do you want now?" Elisa hissed at him.
Instead of answering he simply picked up her naked body and brought her out into the room. The number of Quarrymen had doubled and the room was packed. All with their eyes on Elisa. Somehow she managed to stand tall.
Daniel wrapped his arm around her waist and started leading her into the middle of the room. She followed, stumbling a few times just to annoy him.
The man raised one hand high in the air and in a booming voice:
"Brothers! Now is the time for the initiation!"
There was a loud cheer and a squeaking of wheels. Elisa could see the crowd start to make way for something coming towards her. All of the young men moved out of the way as a cart was being pushed to the center of the room.
Behind her Elisa hear Daniel snicker as he forced her to take more steps forward.
Finally it came close enough to see exactly what it was. On the top of the cart was a tray of blue velvet. On top of that was a black box with the seal of the Quarrymen embedded on top. Daniel reached for this box with his free hand and flicked it open. Inside was one of the longest knives that Elisa had ever seen.
She squirmed to get away from the maniac and fought against him. Daniel signaled two other men forward. One grabbed her arms and the other her legs.
She was lifted into the air for all of them to see.
"First!" Daniel lifted the knife into the air so his brothers could watch.
"A new tradition! To sever all of our past loyalties: a crew cut!"
Without mercy he grabbed a huge chunk of Elisa's long hair and then started to saw through it like a saw to wood. Elisa winced in pain; the knife was pulling her hair down to the scalp. She could just barely see the hair that she had tried to grow for so long fall to the ground in a lifeless heap.
She bit her lip and closed her eyes as the lunatic cut away at all of her hair.
'Oh, please...'
Goliath looked up once again. The sensation was there. Someone was calling to him.
Daniel pulled a few hairs from the immaculate blade. He smiled at his handy work.
Elisa was set down, but her hands and feet were still held on to.
Her head felt far too weightless. She had the desperate urge to run her hand through her hair.
The crowd gave a large cheer as Elisa was turned around for all to see. Her hair was massacred. The long front pieces still remained but the longer back tendrils were cut into oblivion with spikes of hair shooting out. There was no piece longer than an inch in the back.
"Now!" again came his horrible voice, "As you all know, you were given a great gift at your initiations! The mark of the Quarrymen!" he pulled of his right glove and showed them all the back of his fist. There in red ink was the circle and the hammer.
With no mercy he pulled on Elisa's hand and strapped it onto a table that had been brought to him. Again she tried to struggle but the men held her in place.
"Unfortunately, we ran out of ink!" there was a chuckle throughout the chamber, "So this will do instead!" he held up the knife again and then sat on the other side of the table.
Through his mask he looked Elisa in the eyes.
"This might get a bit messy. Hope you can handle the site of blood."
The mutilated detective screamed.
"SOMEBODY SAVE ME!!!!!"
As Lexington and Matt reached the entrance to the garage Goliath turned around once again. The two looked at the much larger male curiously.
He caught their questioning gaze and spun around again.
"Did you two hear anything?"
Both shook their heads. They had heard nothing.
She watched as the blood continued to flow out of her now completely red hand. It was impossible to tell where the marks were because the blood covered everything. The frail hand trembled as they released her.
She fell to the floor, clutching her hand to her chest and crying.
Daniel kneeled down beside her and rested a hand on her shoulder. She didn't even try to flinch. It wasn't worth it anymore.
"Don't worry so much, Elisa. One more thing, and then your done."
Elisa could tell he was smiling through the mask and tried to fill her glare with as much hatred and desire to kill as she could muster.
He stood up. Once again the men grabbed her, only this time they wrapped a pathetic excuse for a sheet around her body. They hoisted her up and started moving. To where she didn't care. The pain she was feeling all over began to go numb.
All she wanted was for it to end.
'Kill me already'
And as the blackness forced on by her own pain began to engulf her she heard Daniel rally the group.
"To Central Park boyos!"
A loud cheer and then nothing.
{group of Disney executives shake their heads no}
Fine then, skrew you, just skrew you!
