Disclaimer: I only own Arianna.
Goliath entered the clan's meeting room to find everyone waiting for him. Three large deep red sofas faced the fireplace on the opposing wall in a U shape. Two other sitting areas were to the left of the larger one for private discussions though he could only remember a handful of times when they were used. Lexington's computers were on the other side of the room along with a few shelves that were stocked with books.
His clan looked up at him from where they sat. Hudson was speaking with Brooklyn near one of the small areas. Lexington was on his computer with Mirran leaning over his shoulder, she was one of the hatchlings from Avolon and was sent to check on the clan, then decided to stay. Broadway and Angela were leaning against the back of the sofa which faced the fireplace; they were waiting for him.
"Here he is," Hudson said; "what did you need to tell us lad?"
"I would like to introduce you to someone," he said moving aside.
They could see the outline of a human; female, five foot eleven, long legs, thin but shapely, currently her back was to them. The outline turned to a human and fell to the floor as a familiar animal pinned her and licked her face.
"Bronx," Goliath said; "get off of her."
Arianna laughed as she pushed Bronx off; "you never told me you had a dog," she said as Goliath offered her a hand to get up.
"Elisa?" a male voice said and Arianna turned to see it was the green gargoyle that her mother's journal had identified as Lexington.
"Do I really look that much like her?" Arianna asked Goliath.
"Ey lass, you do," the older one said with a thick Scottish accent.
"Arianna this is Hudson, Broadway, Angela, Lexington, Mirran, Bronx and I believe you've already met Brooklyn," Goliath said pointing them out. He then took a deep breath; "this is Arianna Maza, my daughter."
"Hello," was all Arianna got out before Angela issued a squeal and ran over pulling her into a bone crushing hug.
"We've got a new sister Mirran!" she called joyfully as the other female walked over and hugged Arianna more gently. "Broadway, go get Fox and Alex they have to meet her!" Angela barked the order to her mate then hastily added 'please.'
"Lexington?" Mirran cooed; "could you get us something to drink and eat? we could be talking for a while."
"Brooklyn, go with them," Angela ordered as the two female gargoyles steered Arianna to the sofa.
"You'd think we were servants," Brooklyn muttered bitterly as the trio exited the room.
"Where have you been all this time?" Angela asked dumbfounded.
"I was living in Miami till about an hour ago," Arianna laughed; two family reunions in three days, who'd have thought?
"Where's Elisa?" Angela asked quietly.
Arianna went ridged; "she died a little over two weeks ago."
Angela nodded then whispered; "does he know?" jerking her head towards Goliath.
"He knows," Arianna whispered back.
"So what did you mean when you said you'd been living in Miami until an hour ago?" Mirran asked.
Arianna looked at the other gargoyle who had not been in her mother's journal. (A/N: This is where the author remembers that she didn't describe the new addition.) The gargoyle was tiny compared to the others, but you could tell she was probably the fastest. Her light blue wings matched ones Lexington had and contrasted with her deep purple coloration. Small ridges held back her golden hair which flowed in streams down her back. Her face reminded Arianna of that of an adult cherub, delicate and small. "I just got a new job at the police station."
"Will you be a detective then lass?" Hudson said as he moved around the sofa on the left to sit down.
"I already am," she smiled stealing a glance at Goliath.
"She received her promotion today," Goliath smiled but remained standing.
"Elisa told me once of what she had to go through to become a detective," Hudson pondered; "it sounded much like becoming a knight."
"I've never heard it compared to that before but I guess you're right," Arianna smiled; she liked Hudson right off the bat.
"Angela?" a female voice said. Everyone turned to find a woman with long red hair. Arianna saw this woman was near her mother's age and had a trademark fox tattoo on one of her eyes.
"Arianna this is," Angela started.
"Fox?" Arianna offered standing and walking over to the woman to shake her hand.
"My, my, my," Fox smiled; "she does look like Elisa doesn't she. You must be very proud Goliath."
"I am," Goliath said crossing his arms; "of both my daughters."
Fox smiled again in response as she started circling around Arianna; "you have a wonderful figure, you must let me make you some clothes."
This time the blush actually reached her cheeks as she tried to laugh it off; "I don't think designer clothes would be the best, knowing me they would have rips within the our."
"All the same, I'll whip up something for you," Fox smiled before leaving.
"So this is your daughter," a male voice said from the doors. Arianna looked up to see the man from the elevator; "nice to meet you Arianna. I don't think we've been properly introduced, I'm Alex Xantos." Arianna reached out gripping the hand he had offered as tight as she could; "that's some grip," he commented.
"You should see my right hook," and while it sounded like a joke to the rest Alex knew t wasn't. Alex grinned in spite of himself, he loved a challenege.
