Sunset came around and Elisa wasn't back at the castle yet. Goliath woke up with a loud roar. The others followed one by one. Goliath jumped down to Broadway and Angela, who still felt bad about what he said to them.
"I think it's time you went and apologised to Elisa." Goliath said.
"That's going to be difficult, considering she's not here." Fox said, coming out to them.
"What?" Goliath said. "Where did she go?"
"She left a few hours ago to go to work." Fox said.
"I thought her shoulder and collar bone were damaged?" Brooklyn said.
"She said she was feeling fine and was moving her shoulder around as if there was nothing wrong." Fox said.
"I'm going out to find her. Broadway, Angela you both stay here. The rest of you, help me find Elisa." Goliath said. Then they jumped off the side of the building. Angela and Broadway watched as they left, then they walked away from each other.
Goliath was gliding around the city trying to find Elisa. Then he saw Matt with another partner down below. He glided into the alley nearest Matt. Matt heard something in the alley.
"Bluestone, are you alright?" Thompson asked.
"I'm fine, I just need to check something. You go ahead, I'll catch up." Matt said. Then he went into the alley and saw Goliath. "Goliath, you startled me."
"I apologise, have you seen Elisa?" Goliath asked.
"I saw her earlier when she came into the station, she said she only had minor injuries and she felt up to coming in." Matt said.
"Her shoulder was badly hurt last night, and she needed her rest. There was no way she could have been ready for work." Goliath said.
"I'll keep my eyes open for her, Goliath I have to tell you, when I saw her and spoke to her, she didn't seem right, there was something about her that wasn't right. She seemed fine, but not herself." Matt said.
"Thank you." Goliath said, and then he climbed up the side of the building and glided away.
Elisa was walking the streets and it was dark, she had forgotten about sunset and going to see Goliath and the others. She had also not been feeling herself. Suddenly she heard something. Brooklyn landed in front of her.
"Brooklyn, you scared me." Elisa said.
"Sorry, what are you doing out here? I thought you were hurt?" Brooklyn said.
"I started to feel better and found that I could move my arm, I couldn't bear to be cooped up in the castle all day, and I had to come to work. I just don't understand how I healed so fast." Elisa said.
"Look, you should come back to the castle and let the doctors have a look at you. Besides, Goliath has the rest of us out looking for you." Brooklyn said.
"I'll be fine Brooklyn, go back and tell Goliath I'm alright." Elisa said. Suddenly they were surrounded by a gang of thugs.
"Well, well, looky looky here." One of them said.
"A gargoyle and the traitor." Another said. They laughed.
"Alright guys, its time for you to leave." Elisa said.
"You're telling us to leave?" Another thug said, they laughed again.
"We're warning you!" Brooklyn said.
"Ha ha ha. Get them!" The leader said, and then the thugs jumped on Brooklyn and Elisa and separated them, 4 on Elisa and 5 on Brooklyn. Brooklyn got mad and felt his strength increase and fought them off. Once his were dealt with, he turned to help Elisa.
"Hold on, Elisa." Brooklyn said, but watching her, he realised she didn't need help. Then he saw something that couldn't be normal. Elisa fired some sort of energy from her hands that subdued the attackers. The ones that got away ran scared. Brooklyn went to Elisa.
"Are you alright?" Brooklyn said.
"Never better." Elisa said.
"Elisa, what was that?" Brooklyn said.
"What was what?" Elisa said, looking puzzled.
"What just came out of your hands?" Brooklyn said.
"I don't know, I just wanted the attack to stop, then I felt something inside me rise to the surface and then that happened. It was almost as if I knew what was happening, but I wasn't in control." Elisa said.
"I need to get you back to Goliath to find out what's wrong with you." Brooklyn said.
"Really, I'm fine." Elisa said, "Goliath doesn't need to know."
"He'd want to, he loves you and would want to know what's wrong." Brooklyn said. Then he saw Elisa's amulet light up. "Elisa, what's wrong with your amulet?"
"Nothing is wrong with the amulet and nothing is wrong with me, Goliath doesn't need to know and I'm not going back yet." Elisa said. She turned to walk away. Brooklyn put a hand on her shoulder.
"But Elisa…" Brooklyn started. Elisa turned and her eyes were glowing red. She hit Brooklyn with an energy ball that sent him flying against the wall. He hit it hard.
"I said NO." Elisa said. Suddenly, it wasn't Elisa anymore. She had Elisa's memories, but Zathandra had taken control. Brooklyn watched as Elisa simply vanished.
