Chapter eleven
I don't own gargoyles or blue seed
"Hey has anybody seen Morgan?" asked Elisa franticly."I'm right here Elisa." said Morgan.
Elisa then turned around to see Morgan sitting in his chair.
"What do you need Elisa? If it's searching for that kid it might take till Thursday to find out all the information. " asked Morgan.
"I need you to look up a car crash that happened two years ago." said Elisa.
Gmx was walking back to Luck's warehouse wondering what her new job would be.
"Ah Gmx thought I see you today." said Luck evilly counting hundred dollar bills.
"Where'd you get that money." asked Gmx.
"I got it from this business lady today. All she wants is you to meet her on Thursday at seven o'clock." said Luck.
"You know I can't do that. Did you tell her about my condition?" asked Gmx angrily clutching her fists.
"Yes, but Gmx before you do anything stupid think about your brother." said Luck fearing Gmx's wrath. Gmx slowly put Luck down and let her eyes go back to their regular green color.
"What do I have to do." asked Gmx staring at the ground.
"I just said it. All you have to do is meet her Thursday night here." said Luck
"That's it?!" asked Gmx thinking there has to be a catch.
"Yea, oh she also wants you to not do any more jobs until she is done with you." said Luck "So basically go have fun and relax."
"Thanks Luck." said Gmx leaving the warehouse happy but still a little suspicious of Luck.
"No thank you Gmx." Luck said smiling evilly as she left.
"Did she take the bait?" asked a woman with red hair getting out from behind a crate.
"Of course she did and by Thursday Gmx will have made me a lot of money." said Luck smiling up at the lady.
"Are you sure she will corporate? If not I will make you the poorest man in the world." said the lady with red hair.
"Yea because I have her brother right here." said luck as he pointed over to a sound proof cage with air holes. "If she doesn't corporate I'll kill him."
"Good idea, cause if this fails you fail." said the red head lady as she left the warehouse.
I'm free to do whatever I want. What should I do? I know I'll annoy Elisa at work. Me very evil and will have fun. Thought Gmx as she headed back to the castle.
It was the first fun filled day of Gmx's life as she annoyed Elisa in the morning and spent the rest of the day walking the park getting the occasional stares. Finally it was time for her to go back to the castle. When she reached the castle Elisa was already there waiting for Gmx.
"Hey what's up Gmx." said Elisa cheerfully.
"Nothing much. Think I'll actually stay here and explore the castle for a few days." said Gmx happily as the sun began to touch her skin and her transformation began.
"Hey Gem nice to see ya." Said Brooklyn as he woke up. "Ready to save some people's lives tonight."
"Why not. Come on let's go now." said Gmx as she pulled Brooklyn out to save people and get away from being harassed by his clan again.
That night Brooklyn and Gmx spent the night again saving people's lives and getting closer together. It was then time to head back to the castle and go to sleep. They both headed home. Brooklyn then perched up on the building while Gmx just stood on the ground next to him waiting for her transformation and his turning to stone as the sun rose.
The next few days before Thursday Gmx spent the days exploring the huge castle and fighting crime at night with Brooklyn. During the days she found new passages in the castle. Even though she loved exploring the castle she loved the night more because of Brooklyn. He made the night more pleasant. Gmx didn't know it but was falling in love with Brooklyn.
"Hey where are we going?" asked Gmx curiously as they went deeper into the city to a place she had never seen before.
"It's a surprise Gem." said Brooklyn smiling back at her.
"Um you know that's not my real name my real name is Gmx if you want to call me that." said Gmx nervously. She had earned Brooklyn's trust and thought it was better if he knew her real name.
"Hmm, it suits you." said Brooklyn slowing down and gliding down onto an old roof top. Gmx glided down to the building next to him and waited for him to say something. Brooklyn just searched for something on the ground until he found it. It was a small yellow jewel. He then pushed the small jewel and the top of the building roof began to shake. Gmx was loosing her balance but Brooklyn caught her in his arms before she fell. Damnit am I blushing. He is so cute. Damnit don't kid yourself he just another jerk but he is cute wonder what he would look like in regular clothes. Ahh bad Gmx bad. Gmx thought as she gazed into his chocolate eyes again. The building then stopped shaking and a small door on the top of the building slowly opened. Brooklyn then took her hand and lead her into his hideaway.
It was gorgeous there were ancient building pieces. Roman columns that were holding up the building. A beautiful water fountain stood in the middle. It was a human girl and boy holing hands looking into each others eyes. They were in love. Surrounding them were monsters, demons, and humans with machine guns. All of the evil creatures were ready to attack them but they were smiling in each other's eyes. A small inscription could be seen at the bottom of the fountain. Gmx bent down folding her wings and read the inscription aloud.
"Let love bloom in the mist of danger." said Gmx slowly getting back up and looking at Brooklyn. She had fallen in love over night.
"Do you like it here?" asked Brooklyn as he looked at her fidgeting her hands. Slowly she stopped fidgeting her hands and went over to Brooklyn. Still amazed by all the ancient arts.
"I love it." said Gmx softly to Brooklyn. "But why did you take me here. I mean really we just meet and you can't love me right?" Gmx looked down at the ground covering her face with her chestnut hair trying to hide her blush. Brooklyn took his clawed hand and lifted her face to his.
"I've never shown anyone this place before at all." Brooklyn said staring into her crystal eyes blushing a little. " I love you Gmx."
Gmx was started by his words and didn't now what to say. I love you too Brooklyn it's just I don't think we can ever be together. Gmx had to hide her love for him because in the end he would only get hurt.
"Um Brooklyn I need to tell you something." said Gmx as she walked closer to Brooklyn. Does she not love me or does she already have someone else?
"What is it?" he asked confused by her tone.
Great how are you going to explain this. 'Oh hi Brooklyn you see I really do like you and all except I'm human in the day.' that would sound perfect to him. Gmx thought as she tried to figure out what to tell him. Before she could say anything her asked first.
"Gmx why do you always wear those biker gloves?" asked Brooklyn.
How did that question get in here? Gmx thought as she tried to answer his last question.
"I like to wear them." said Gmx. Great answer Einstein.
"Why?" asked Brooklyn curiously.
"Just cause I like them a lot." said Gmx starting to get angry.
"Will you take them off now?" Asked Brooklyn.
"No because I'm not… I like them a lot that's all you need to know." said Gmx trying to think of what to ask him.
"Oh no." Said Gmx. "It's Thursday. I need to leave Brooklyn."
"Why?" asked Brooklyn.
"Listen I like you a lot and don't want you to get hurt so just stay here I need to take care of some business." with that said she left Brooklyn flying into the air speeding off toward her destination.
"Hey Morgan do you have the results on the information?" asked Elisa.
"Yea, it said there was no record of anyone by that name." Elisa shocked by his comment then went off to her car to find Gmx.
"Can't believe I forgot that easily." said Gmx as she flew down to the warehouse. "Luck I'm here."
A bright light was then shown on Gmx as Luck and another gargoyle came out form the shadows.
"You!" said Gmx clutching her fist. "Damn you."
"I wouldn't do that Gmx." said Luck as he stepped into the light lighting a cigarette.
"And why not Luck." said Gmx angrily.
"Because I have your friends." Luck then pushed a button as the ground began to sink into the floor going lower until it stopped. Gmx then looked around in the dark and saw that her gargoyle friends were hung on the wall by electric chains.
"These aren't my friends." said Gmx as the lights flickered on.
"Really, then what about him." said Luck as he pointed to a beaten up orange gargoyle, with blood stained hair.
"Brooklyn." shouted Gmx.
"Don't worry we won't hurt him if you corporate." said the gargoyle with red hair.
"Hell I wouldn't corporate with you if you were the last person on earth." said Gmx pointing angrily at he gargoyle.
"Fine have it your way." The red headed gargoyle then got out a huge crate and open it. Inside the crate was a boy who looked to be no more than fourteen. She then lifted the boy up and laid him on the cold ground and was about to strike him when she heard a noise.
"Don't hurt him I'll do whatever you want." said Gmx moving closer to the red head gargoyle. The red head gargoyle then put the boy back in the crate and showed Gmx to a lab table.
"What do you want me to do red head." asked Gmx as she was near the lab table if she wasn't able to fight them the least she could do is pist them off.
"Any more of that attitude and you will lose your brother. My name is Demona by the way." said Demona as she smiled evilly at Gmx.
"Demona. Aren't you the one the clan hates." asked Gmx. "Not to mention a huge promotion to you for being the biggest wench ever."
"Yes." said Demona as she began to get different chemicals. Demona then took Gmx by the throat and whispered for only her ears. "Call me anything else and your brother dies."
"Hey Luck don't you have any shame in doing this." asked Gmx sarcastically.
"No, as long as I make money I feel perfectly fine." said Luck evilly. "Also I just wanted you to know I held your brother here captive so if you ever got way out of hand I could threaten you with his life."
"You bastard. How dare you do this to my brother." said Gmx pist off and trying not to hit either or else she would lose her brother.
"Stop losing your temper or I will slice your brother and friends." said Demona smiling wryly. Gmx then remembered where her friends were and stopped talking so she wouldn't lose her temper. Until someone spoke out.
"Gmx how is that human your brother?" asked Brooklyn curiously.
"You mean to tell me you didn't tell him." said Demona seizing the opportunity to hurt Gmx. Grabbing Gmx's left arm Demona pushed her in front of Brooklyn. "Gmx tell them why your brother is human and why your not or else I kill your brother."
Gmx just sighed as she took in a deep breath and began to tell her story to everyone. Gmx revealed the tragedy that she went through in becoming a gargoyle and how she lost her brother to a mysterious gargoyle that fled from her in the middle of the night.
"And that's how I became a gargoyle." Gmx slowly tilted her head down that had been the hardest confession ever. "Brooklyn I never meant to hurt you. I would have told you sooner but I was afraid you would be mad at me."
"Why on earth would I be mad at you." said Brooklyn taken back by the whole story.
"Your not mad at me?" asked Gmx fearfully
"No I'm not mad at you I'm just mad that you lied to me and all of us." said Brooklyn as he tilted his head to the rest of his clan. "I don't think I can ever trust you again Gmx."
"Enough with the sentimental crap." said Demona as she injected all the gargoyles with a dart that had yellow liquid inside.
"What did you do?" asked Gmx ready to pounce on Demona the only thing holding her back was her brother's life.
"Don't worry I just tranquilized them." said Demona
With that said Gmx just bent her head as she looked at her brother in the crate. He had changed a lot. His glow of happiness had fade from him. His hair wasn't shiny chestnut anymore it was tinted with darkness. His eyes were the most that changed, his eyes were now a deep dark blue of coldness with no emotion.
"Come on Gmx we don't have all night lay on the table." said Demona in a cold voice. Gmx just did as she was told for fear of killing her only relative alive. Gmx was then chained down by Luck. She gave him the best death glare meaning mess-with-my-brother-I-dare-you-to -pull-something. Luck then just ran over to Demona side with a little bit of fear in him. Who could save her now, nobody her friends were all tied up her brother was in danger the night seemed completely hopeless.
"What do you mean they're not here?!" shouted Elisa at Xantos.
"Exactly that. They left tonight and aren't here now." said Xantos. Elisa then hurried down the castle stairs and drove in her car looking for any sight of gargoyle at all.
"Why did you want me?" asked Gmx.
"I don't want you I need you." said Demona as she began to strap Gmx down on the table.
"Why?" asked Gmx.
"Because," she said silently. "You have super healing powers."
"So what if I have super healing powers, you can't have them." said Gmx trying to restrain her temper.
"I have found a way for you to give me your powers. Do you see the machine behind you?" said Demona as she pointed to a huge silver machine. The machine had chemicals in tubes that were different colors. One of the tubes was purplish blue and had the label A. the next test tube was orange and had the label B. the next test tube was a murky brown color that had the label AB, and the last test tube had nothing in it except the label O. Gmx then looked as far as she could around and saw a computer screen scanning some blood on a micro plate.
"What does this machine do?" asked Gmx as Demona stuck her with an IV needle.
"Glad you asked. This machine takes blood and can change the blood to fit another person's blood type." said Demona admiring the machine.
"Do you guys need a room or something don't want to be a pervert." If she couldn't yell at them maybe she could pist them off with her sarcasm. Demona quickly rushed over to Gmx and smacked her on the face leaving a red mark. Gmx wouldn't scream even if the pain was killing her she would not give Demona that satisfaction.
"So this machine will change my blood type to fit yours." Demona just nodded her head as she began the sequence code. "Too bad it won't work." said Gmx smiling.
"Of course it will work." Demona shouted. "I built it designed especially for you."
"Hey Luck did you tell her everything or leave a few things out." said Gmx as she watch Demona drew her attention to Luck.
"Don't listen to her it's a trick." said Luck trying to save his own skin. "I told you everything about her being a gargoyle and having a brother. She's just trying to escape."
"So Luck you told her everything I said to you." said Gmx laughing with herself.
"What are you hiding Gmx tell me or else I will kill your brother." said Demona losing her temper.
"Fine I'll tell you if you get my brother out of that cage so he can hear us." said Gmx. Demona not wanting to lose at all let her brother out who was startled by his sister's appearance.
"That's not my sister." said Melvyn.
"I am too your sister or do I have to remind you." said Gmx trying not to sound to aggressive.
"You can't prove that you're my sister." said Melvyn shooting daggers at his real sister.
"Yes, I can you remember that paper that dad gave to us to find our destiny has anything strange happened to you." Melvyn then just gasped and let a small tear fall down his face.
"It really is you sister." said Melvyn.
"I don't understand what's the meaning of this?" said Demona pist off that her brother was able to recognize her only with words.
"Demona don't you want to make sure I'm the one with super healing powers." said Gmx trying to get her attention.
"I already know you have the powers because Luck said you did." said Demona.
"You want to trust his word again after he lied to you bout me already, because I know you know that my brother has information you knew nothing about."
"Fine I'll test you, you little wench." said Demona as she got out a sharp knife and cut into Gmx's skin. Gmx wanted to cry but didn't. Demona was shocked with her discovery. When she cut Gmx's arm green blood oozed out of her arm.
