Aprilangel413: Hi this is chapter two. It's been a couple years and Fiona is now 4, Alex is 5. Here some old "friends" will be seen.
Disclaimer: I don't own gargoyles. I do own Fiona so don't use her in your stories.
Balcony
Fiona and Alex had grown up a bit. Alex's hair was now dark red and he was talking. Fiona had pitch-black hair that was pulled up in to a tiny pigtail, she could also fly and talk. They were in the corner waiting for the sun togo down. Finally the sun dropped below the horizon. Stone cracked and the gargoylesstepped down to the balcony. Xanatos walked up to them followed by Elisa and Fox.
"Good night everyone. How was your sleep?"
"Fine."
Goliath walked over to Fiona and picked her up.
"I will be right back."
Xanatos did the same with Alex and then the two fathers took off. Elisa went down to the station and started her shift. Fox and Owen watched Alexander and Fiona until Xanatos and Goliath got home for the night. About three hours later Elisa's shift ended and she would be home until her shift at two. That was the usual routine and then everybody would sit and enjoy the rest of the night. They were relaxing on the couch when an alarm went off. Xanatos got back in his gargoyle suit and rejoined the others. The Pack was on the balcony they lunged at the clan, and the clan responded by attacking. They were deep in the battle when Fox realized something.
"Wolf is gone."
Once Fox said this Jackal and Hyena ran andjumped off the balcony, activated their jetpacks. Everything was quite, the group came together on the balcony.
"Is everybody ok?"
"Yeah."
"Where did you think Wolf went?"
Then there was a high-pitched cry.
"Mommy."
"The kids!"
Everyone looked up and Wolf jumped off the roof with Alex and Fiona in his arms. He activated his jetpack and followed his friends off into the night. The Manhattan clan took off in pursuit and soon caught up to the Pack. Jackal and Hyena turned around and started using their built in guns on the gargoyles. Wolf just flew out of sight with the screaming children in his arms. The clan returned to the castle and told Elisa and Fox, first they were quite the came the tears and yelling. Elisa banged her fists against Goliath's chest while Fox strangled her husband. After a few minutes the mothers calmed down, and started to think of plots to avenge their children. The sun came up and the gargoyles took their places on the ledge, but instead of the usual fierce stances the stood strait and somber.
Nightstone Unlimited H.Q
Demona had just transformed back into Dominique Destine and was still in her gargoyle clothes. She looked out the enormous window and saw a furry man fly by on a jet pack, carrying two bundles. One of them had bat like wings spread open, that image froze in her mind. Little winged figure being taken away from Wyvern castle by Wolf. Thoughts ran through her head like crazy. Could Angela laid an egg? Was she a grandmother? She had to know, so Dominique ran up to the roof and got in a chopper. She got behind the controls and followed him but stayed a good distance away so she wouldn't be spotted. Finally Wolf landed in front of an old condemned building. Dominique wrote down the address and went back to Nightstone. She waited until sunset then turned back into Demona. She took off and went to the address she had written down earlier. She waited outside and looked in the window, she saw the Pack talking and Xanatos's kid. Then she saw a little girl hatchling that couldn't be older four. Demona then realized that she had to get her out of there. She waited until they went to bed and picked who would be watching the kids, it was Jackal. Soon he fell asleep and Demona made her move. She snuck in and fooled around with a couple wires in Jackal. That's when she came face to face with the two little children. Alex walked up to Demona and stared at her.
"Out of the way Xanatos."
She pushed him aside and picked up Fiona and looked at her.
"Put her down."
"Why do you care?"
"She's my best friend."
"Humans and gargoyles can't get along."
"Yes we can."
Demona looked at the little girl in her arms.
"I'm not going without him."
"But he's a human."
"So?"
"Alright but if you tell anyone about this then…"
"Then what."
"Then I'll bring you back."
"Ok we won't tell. Who are you anyway?"
"You don't know me?"
"Sorry, am I supposed to know you?"
"I'm Demona."
"I heard about you. You tried to kill Aunt Elisa."
"You tried to kill my mommy."
Demona dropped Fiona, who landed on her feet.
"Elisa is your mother, you're half human?"
"Yeah and my daddy isn't going to be happy about this."
"Let me guess yourfather is Goliath."
"Yep."
"Well you are still half gargoyle, and that is why I'm taking you back."
"Alex too?"
"If you insist."
"I do insist."
"So Demona how are we getting out of here?"
"Follow me."
Demona lead them past the sleeping Jackal and out of the building. She looked down at Fiona and sighed.
"What's your name?"
"Fiona."
"Can you fly?"
"Like a bird."
"Good lets go."
Alex and Fiona took off and were followed by Demona. Sunrise was in five minutes so they stopped at Nightstone so Demona could change. She went into another room and came out as Dominique. She handed Fiona a cloak and motioned for them to follow her. They went down an elevator to a parking garage and hopped in Dominique's red convertible. She drove them to Xanatos's building and was about to drive away when Fiona spoke up.
"Do you want to come in?"
"No thanks."
"Bye and thank you."
Dominique drove away and the kids walked inside. They found the elevator and took it to the top. The doors opened and they were back in the castle. They walked down the hall and bumped into someone. It was Owen he lifted his head and stared wide eyed at the little ones in front of him.
"You're alive!"
He picked them up and ran them to the balcony where everyone was sitting sadly. He screamed again.
"They're back!"
Elisa and the Xanatoses looked at Owen who had the two in his arms. Everybody got up and started to hug and squeeze and kiss Alex and Fiona. It felt weird having everyone fuss over them like that and it was soon interrupted by the question.
"How did you guys get here?"
The children just stared at each other, they promised Demona they wouldn't tell so they lied.
"I'm not that sure. One minute we're sitting on the floor of an old building the next we're in front of the elevator."
"What does it matter how they got here but the fact that they are."
"To bad the others already went to sleep."
"They'll still be here at sunset."
"Don't ever leave."
They looked at the adults and kept their mouths shut. After a few more minutes of hugs and kisses Alex and Fiona went to their rooms. They took out some walkie-talkies and spoke about how to thank Demona. Before they could think of anything the sun went down and they had to go out to the balcony. The gargoyles stone skin fell to the ground as they stepped down from the ledge. Fiona ran up to Goliath and hugged him.
"Daddy, daddy, daddy."
Goliath looked down and the girl holding on to his leg.
"Fiona!"
He picked her up and threw her into the air. The other gargoyles crowded around the little ones and again came the hugs and kisses. Everyone asked them how they got out and they kept to their story. Eventually they were aloud out of the sight of their parents and were able to continue thinking of a way to repay Demona. They spent the whole night thinking about it before the sun came up, then they had to go to bed. They slept the entire day and had to be shaken awake. During Alex's magic lessons Hudson taught Fiona how to protect her self. They set up a punching bag and showed her how to punch it. Finally the two were released from their lessons, they met up and walked around the castle.
"I have no clue what we can do."
"Me either."
Alex looked up and one of the security cameras and an idea hit him.
"I got it."
"What are we gonna do?"
"Demona is Angela's mother right."
"Yeah."
"So Demona can't be close to her because she hates, well everyone."
"And we come in where?"
"We will make copies of the security tapes of every night and give them to her."
"You area a genius."
"I know."
"Let's get started."
They ran down to the main security room. Luckily there is never a guard watching the screens so they got in easy.
"So how are we going to do this?"
"By programming this big thing to record the nights events. And then we edit it so everything is about Angela."
"You are officially the smartest guy I know."
"Thank you, and we are set. We just have to come back here at sunrise, edit them and then deliver."
"So see you back here when my dad turns to stone."
"Yep."
So they left the room and enjoyed the rest of the night. The sun came up and the Manhattan clan froze in stone, Fiona and Alex slipped out of bed and walked down to the surveillance room. Fiona was half way through a bag of chips by the time Alex got there.
"What took you so long?"
"I had to sneak past two parents, you only have to deal with one."
"Oh well let's get started."
"Where do we start?"
"Sunset."
"This is going to take a while."
"Not if we fast forward everything that doesn't have Angela in it."
"And then delete it."
"Correct."
They watched the entire night activities in three hours, and another hour to edit.
"Finally finished."
"Now we just have to get this to Demona."
"The easy part."
"So are we both going or is it a one man mission."
"Both."
Fiona grabbed the disc and Alex set it up for the next night. Alex went one way and Fiona the other.
"Where are you going?"
"Balcony."
"My room is closer and has a big window."
"Ok to your room it is."
They walked down the hall and were close enough to see Alex's door when they ran into Owen.
"Ahhhhh."
"What are you two doing up?"
"We could ask the same of you."
"I'm an adult."
"Oh."
"We couldn't sleep…"
"And thought that some music would put us to sleep…"
"But I left the C.D. on the other side of the castle and I didn't want to go alone."
"You two hurry off to bed now."
"Yes sir."
They quickly ran past Owen and into Alex's room. The room was overflowing with toys and trinkets, there was a bookshelf crammed with books of all levels. Fiona walked over to the window and realized that it was higher then she was tall.
"Just how are we going to get of here?"
"I can fly but you have to climb."
"If I must."
Fiona dug her claws into the stonewall, she climbed up until she was parallel with the window. Then she eased her way over so she was standing on the ledge. Fiona spread her wing s and jumped. A few flaps and she was flying high in the sky. Fiona was not good with directions and kept flying the wrong way, luckily Alex remembered the way and didn't let her out of his sight. After an hour of getting lost they found Nightstone H.Q.
"How are we supposed to get in?"
Alex closed his eyes and tried to think.
"The roof."
They flew up to the roof and spotted a door. With a little force the door went down, and they walked down the stairs. In a few minutes they were standing outside Dominique's office.
"Go a head."
"No, ladies first."
"Age before beauty."
"Um um just go in."
"Ok you don't have to be pushy about it."
Fiona knocked on the door and received the chilling response.
"Come in."
The two walked into the giant room, Dominique was sitting at her desk in a big chair looking out the window. She turned around and didn't see them.
"I said come in."
"Down here."
Dominique got up and looked over her desk. She spotted the children and sighed.
"What do you want?"
"To pay our dept."
"What."
"We owe you our lives, so we made you this."
Fiona held up the disc.
"It's a video of Angela."
"We'll make you one every night and give it to you in the morning."
Dominique looked at the little kids in front of her. Fiona put the disc on the desk and stepped back.
"I hope you like it. See you tomorrow."
"Could you leave a door open or something?"
"Better."
She walked back to her desk and opened a draw. She held up to plastic cards and put them in the kid's hands.
"Security clearance."
"Thanks bye."
They walked out of the room and up the stairs to the roof. They weren't in a hurry to go anywhere so they played around on their way back to the castle. They played sky tag and diver. In diver you have to fly head first in to the ground and stop just before you hit the ground, whoever stops first is the loser. Alex won most of the time. After an hour of that they reached the castle. Fiona was so tired that she would have woken up the whole castle if she walked back to her room. Alex helped her into his bed and changed into his pj's. He climbed into bed and fell asleep. They were sleeping until they heard someone scream. Fiona opened her eyes and saw Alex next to her, and then she looked up and saw Fox. She shook Alex he woke up and looked around. Now Elisa, Xanatos, and all the gargoyles were standing in the room.
"We were looking all over for you two."
"And you didn't think to look in our rooms."
"What are you doing in here?"
"I couldn't sleep so I came in here to talk."
"And then she was so tired I didn't think that she'd make it to her room."
"Just don't scare us like that again."
"Ok. Can we have breakfast now?"
"Sure."
The two ran out of bed and down to the kitchen. Fiona put two waffles in the toaster and started pouring herself some orange juice. Alex found the cereal and milk mixed them together in a bowl and then realized that he needed a spoon. Fiona handed him one and got a plate. The waffles popped out and Fiona caught them on her plate. She bowed and took a seat next to Alex.
"Impressive."
"Like you've never done it."
"Oh you got me."
Then Angela walked in with Broadway right next to her. They were amazed how fast the kids had made breakfast and got settled.
"Wow how did you do that?"
"Waffles in the freezer…"
"Cereal in the cabinet…"
"Milk in the refrigerator…"
"Move them around and you've got breakfast."
"Um how do you guys do that?"
"Did you not just hear us explain?"
"I mean the completing the sentences thing."
"Oh, not really sure about that."
"Well it's a little creepy."
Before any one could respond to that Hudson and Puck came in.
"Come on Fiona time for ye fighting lesson."
"Magic lesson in ten seconds."
"See you soon."
"Not if you screw up."
"Try not to get a black eye."
"Try not to turn Puck into a puppy again, even though it was an improvement."
"Enough talk you two have stuff to learn."
Fiona followed Hudson to the exercise room and Alex followed Puck all around the castle. Puck pointed at things and changed them into animals, Alex had to change them back. Fiona had to work with Hudson on her left and right hook. After three hours of getting told what to do they were released from adult super vision. They met up on the balcony.
"Freedom."
"So what are we going to do?"
"Get information for the video."
"Better then nothing."
They ran all over the castle and found Angela watching T.V. with Broadway. They checked that the camera was pointing the right way and started asking questions.
"What are you watching?"
"A movie."
"Which one."
"I'm not sure but it's got some guy called Clint Eastwood in it."
"Oh."
Fiona pulled Alex off the couch and into the corner.
"This isn't working. I'm going to start editing, you bring it to her tonight."
"Ok seeya."
"Bye."
Fiona walked to the surveillance room and started going over the night's activities. When Alex finally got there Fiona just finished and was loading the information onto the disc.
"Wow you work fast."
"I'm sorry to say that this big thing doesn't."
"So I'm flying solo?"
"Yeah it will go quicker and I will get to sleep."
"Of course you benefit from this."
"Hey I loved playing with you on the way home but it's tiring, and you always win."
"It's not my fault I'm great."
"Never mind, just go."
Alex grabbed the disc and left. Fiona set up the system and walked to her room.
Nightstone Unlimited H.Q
Dominique was at her desk when Alex walked in.
"Here you go Demona, one night of Angela."
"Shh I'm Dominique during the day."
"Sorry."
"Can I have it?"
"Oh hey."
Alex took out the disc and handed it to Dominique.
"See you tomorrow."
