Chapter nine
I don't own gargoyles or blue seed.
"Where the hell is my sister?" he said trying to get himself up but falling down again. Gmx then went over to help him up."Don't touch me you freak of nature." said Melvyn pushing away his Gmx. "I'm asking again where is my sister?"
"I'm right her Melvyn what's the matter?" said Gmx not knowing that she had transformed.
"No your not. Stop playing with me you monster and tell me where my sister is." said Melvyn angered. Before Gmx could speak she heard police car sirens and tried to take Melvyn's hand to escape but he resisted her.
"Melvyn come on we need to get away before the cops come." said Gmx staring at her brother who was shocked.
"No your just another monster trying to take me away or kill me." said Melvyn as he backed away from Gmx. Gmx slowly edged toward Melvyn wondering why he was calling her a monster. "Stay away from me or I'll go to the cops."
"Melvyn why won't you come with me." As Gmx took another step toward him. In that one moment Melvyn ran toward the police car that was pulling up. A cop came out of the car, shined the light on Gmx, and began to shoot at Gmx.
"Hey stop it," said Gmx dodging the bullets with ease. "Melvyn make them stop shooting." She pleaded with her brother. Melvyn just looked at her in the eyes and gave her the most hated look in history. The police and her own brother wouldn't stop so she did the only thing she could she ran away climbing up the stairs crying hot tears as the cool rain washed over her. When she was far enough away from the cops to see her she saw Melvyn enter the police car willingly and drive away. Melvyn why are you leaving me? She thought to herself. Just as she was about to go down the stairs and try to follow him she caught her reflection a puddle. She couldn't believe her eyes as she stared at the image pointing back at her. Gmx pinched herself and then looked back at the puddle noticing she now had two small fangs, crystal eyes, and red-peach skin. Started by the image she fell on her knees and cried. Gmx then looked down at her hands and feet and noticed they were now claws. Gmx sat down and felt something strange on her back and looked behind her. She now had two large red-peach color wings and a matching tail. How could this have happened to me? She thought silently to herself as she began to cry again rocking herself back and forth. Could this be the legend? She thought silently to herself. After crying for what seemed like hours she composed herself and stood up on the building.
"Guess I better get use to this." Gmx said trying to make the best of the situation. As she tugged at her wings to double check she wasn't dreaming. At that moment she lift off from the roof top gliding slowly over the city for a few seconds. A huge gust off wind then came at her which made her lose her balance and fell toward the city. Quickly thinking she lifted her new wings up and flew upward avoiding the danger.
"That was close." said Gmx looking at the city. Gmx then heard a scream that no human could hear with her new sensitive hearing. She quickly raced toward the scream and saw a woman begging for her life by three streets thugs. Gmx flew down to protect the woman and succeeded by throwing the leader into a large trash can. Gmx then turn toward the other two thugs and roared. The sound of the roar scared the punks running away. Gmx then turn back to the woman.
"Are you okay miss." said Gmx softly trying to comfort the woman.
"Get…get away from me you freak." said the woman as she headed down the alley screaming 'monster'.
"I just wanted to help." said Gmx sadly as she climbed up the wall using her claws as a small tear slid down her face. From that moment on Gmx decided to never help another human again. Gmx then flew back to the spot where she had changed and landed on the roof with a loud thump.
"Ouch," Gmx said rubbing her knees. "I got to get a better hang of this thing." Gmx slowly lifted herself up as the sun rays began to come over the city and touch her skin. Gmx's breathing started to get faster and faster like before the transformation. Gmx poured over in pain again feeling her body change. Gmx then felt her wings and tail disappear. Her hands and feet become more human like and her face was back to it's natural color the only thing that didn't change were the fangs. They were still there but a little bit less visible to the naked eye.
"I'm human again." said Gmx excitedly "Cool! Guess it only happens at sundown." Gmx then began to go down the stairs when she noticed she could jump the staircases with ease.
"This is so weird. Hey maybe I have only my agility powers when I'm human." Gmx said smiling. Gmx then began to walk onto the street as a normal human being, well as normal as she could be anyway. Gmx had only one thing in mine, her brother.
"So that's how it happened then." said Elisa astonished by the story. "It's almost like a werewolf curse."
"I guess you could say that." said Gmx leaning against the stone.
"But were are your fangs? I can't see them." Asked Elisa wondering if she was lying.
"I have them right here." Gmx said opening her mouth and pointing to two white fangs on either side of her mouth. "So does this mean I'm off the hook or are you still going to hold a grudge." Gmx said smiling slyly.
"Well considering your story I guess you have your reasons." said Elisa comforting. "But you will still have to stay her with Brooklyn and the rest of the gargoyles."
"Why!?" said Gmx standing up and fuming.
"Because if you were to leave they would find out your secret and think that you are on Demona's side." said Elisa trying to explain her why but not succeeding.
"Who is Demona?" Asked Gmx grumpily.
"She a gargoyle just like you. She can change into a human in the day and a gargoyle at night." Elisa said filling her in on the information.
"Why do they dislike Demona?" asked Gmx curiously.
"They dislike her because she tries to kill all the humans in New York and the world. Demona hates humans and tries all the time to kill me and other people." said Elisa in a lowering tone.
"Sorry about that." said Gmx sorrowfully.
"That's okay, you knew nothing about it." said Elisa trying to regain back her smile.
"Okay Demona is evil but can I at least get some lunch considering that I'm now in my human form." said Gmx wryly.
"Fine you can come with me to get lunch." said Elisa smiling at Gmx.
"That's going to be a little difficult since I'm still chained to this wall." said Gmx gaining back her attitude to have her feelings covered again.
"I'll untie you only if," said Elisa pausing and looking at Gmx sternly. "you promise to have breakfast with me and return here." Elisa then went over to Gmx and tried to unlock the chains on her wrists and feet. Gmx stepped back not allowing Elisa to get to close to see her wrists. After Elisa releases Gmx, Gmx rubs her wrists from the pain of the chain.
"Do you have any shoes I can borrow?" Gmx said staring at her bare feet. "I kind of messed my other shoes up."
"No I don't have extra shoes but I think Xantos has some shoes." said Elisa.
"Who's Xantos?" asked Gmx puzzled as they both began to descend down the stairs.
"Xantos is the owner of the castle, this building and other corporations." said Elisa.
Elisa then explained the cursed that was put on the gargoyles. The gargoyles were in permanent stone until the castle would be above the clouds. Xantos believed in this legend and took the castle here and the gargoyles came alive. Later after he pretended he was their friend he made them steal hard chips to make super gargoyle robots. The robots failed to be better than the originals. As the years went by Xantos always tried to get the gargoyle again, and threatened the gargoyles. Xantos then regained back his trust when he saved the gargoyle from being destroyed. After Elisa had explained all of this they both went to the parking lot to her car.
"Gmx," said Elisa slowly. "I'm sorry about your parents and brother and everything." When Elisa spoke this Gmx just turn around with her stray chestnut hairs covering her face and just sighed as she placed her head down into her chest. Elisa was about to comfort her when she just perked right up and started to look for Elisa's car. Oh man, I feel sorry for her having to live on the streets trying to find her brother so she and him can be together again. Just looking at her I know she has been through enough to last her a life time. Nobody should have to deal with this much pain. Especially being called a freak because you're a little different.
"Hey Elisa." said Gmx enthusiastically getting Elisa out of her thoughts. "Where's your car I'm starving." Elisa then got out of her trance and walked over to her red car. She beeped the car and let in Gmx on the passenger side while she got over to the driver's seat. As Elisa started the car she looked over to Gmx feeling sorry for her. Gmx was just staring out of the car window staring aimlessly at nothing.
"Hey Gmx." said Elisa trying to lighten the mood. Gmx slowly cooked her head toward Elisa's direction.
"What is it Elisa?" Gmx asked rather dully.
"I think I have some shoes in the back of my car if you want them you can have them." said Elisa. Gmx eyes lighted up as she went to the back of the car and found the perfect shoes. The shoes were old but they still had their blue color. Anyway it's not like she was going to give up on a good deal.
"Thanks Elisa." she said as she began to tie the shoes on fast.
Finally they were at the breakfast place called Jenny's. Elisa parked the car in the parking lot and then her and Gmx went inside to eat. They both were able to get a good seat and were severed right away. Elisa just got toast and Orange Juice but Gmx on the other hand got two eggs, ham, pancakes, and bacon. Gmx also got a salad without cucumbers. As Elisa looked at Gmx she saw that she was happy at getting a good meal. After they were done with their breakfast and Elisa had paid the bill they went back to Elisa's car. While Elisa opened the car Gmx just stood ten feet away from the car.
"Come on Gmx we got to get back to Xantos's building." said Elisa impatiently.
"I'm not going back Elisa," said Gmx seriously. "I going to find my brother and save him so I have to do a job now." Elisa just stared at her as Gmx ran away from Elisa not looking back.
"Gmx," Elisa shouted as Gmx got further away from her. "I can help you get your brother." Elisa said softly to herself as she watched Gmx run away from her fading into the streets.
