We then landed under a bridge, and Goliath then let me down. I hissed in pain. Goliath gasped in horror as he saw my bullet wound, "You're bleeding!".
"Don't worry, I can fix it." I said with a weak smile. With Draven's help, I used a spell to heal myself, I then looked down at my leg, and no longer saw blood oozing out. I then saw Goliath fall to his knees. He groaned, "What is wrong with me?".
"This is what's wrong.", Elisa said as she saw something. I then walked over to see a radio transmitter on Goliath's back. "They pumped you full of something.", Elisa said, taking out the transmitter out of Goliath's back.
"And this is how they found us.", I growled lightly. "What is it?" Goliath asked warily.
"A Radio transmitter.", I responded airily. "Some form of magic that led them to us?", Goliath asked.
"That's one way of putting it.", I said with a chuckle. "Look. Some kind of manufacturer's logo.", Elisa said as she inspected the device.
Goliath now looked suspicious, "But how did this transmitter get on me?". "Good question.", I said with a nod. We then saw a stray dog, and Elisa then went over to place the transmitter on the dog which ran off after Elisa placed the device.
"Smart move, Elisa." I said to her, grinning approvingly. I and Elisa helped Goliath walk, we then stopped to hide in some bushes, and then I heard Draven.
Sally, dawn is approaching. Draven said alarmingly. Shit, we won't be able to get Goliath back to the tower in time. I said to Draven in shock.
I saw Goliath glance back, and he rumbled softly, "Too late. I can't make it back before sunrise.". "Before sunrise?", Elisa asked in confusion as Goliath dropped to his knees, taking a position.
He growled lightly, "Helpless. No defense during the day.". I saw Elisa becoming more confused, "I don't get it, what happens at sunrise?", Elisa asked.
"You'll see." Goliath said quietly, I turned around to see the sun's light, but I could also see the troopers as they're not too far behind. "We gotta move.", Elisa said hastily, then I turned around and just as I thought, Goliath turned to stone. I heard Elisa gasp in shock, and I saw her lean down, touch Goliath's arm.
"Goliath? Goliath!" Elisa said, a concerned look on her face. "It won't work, Elisa. He'll stay like this until dusk.", I said to her as it's a fact.
"What?", Elisa asked in shock as she turned to face me. "You see during the day, Gargoyles turn to stone.", I explained to her with a shrug. She stared at me with a taken back expression, "How did...?". I grinned weakly, "Let's just say that some secrets are better unsaid until the right time.". She nodded in understanding.
Elisa then told me that she had a plan. She would distract the troopers long enough for me to cast a spell on them. "Careful, Elisa.", I said to her warily. She nods and goes off to hide, and I hid behind the trees. I let out a smirk as i saw one of the troopers still carrying the kitten.
Soon enough, I saw Elisa run to a boat shack, and I saw the troopers aim their guns at the place. Sally, teleport Elisa out of there now! Draven said quickly. Why? I asked Draven in confusion.
I See that the troopers shot a few bottles of gas, and if they shoot again at the shack, the place will explode! Draven said quickly with fear in his voice, and my eyes went wide. I was not going to let that happen! Concentrating my mind, I used a spell and in seconds, Elisa was right next to me.
"Crap, I was about to have a heart attack!". She panted heavily with a glare at me. "I had to get you out of there." I said to Elisa, giving a sheepish grin.
"Thanks, I just saw that the gas was leaking, and if you hadn't teleported me out of there, I would have died in the explosion." Elisa said with a grateful nod as she settled down. "Now let's finish these bitches.", I said to Elisa, grinning mischievously.
"Go get them, sis." Elisa said with a grin, and I smirked as my hands were glowing a dark purple. "HEY! Looking for us?", I shouted to the troopers who turned around, and just in time before they reacted to shoot, I launched a spell at them, and it turned them into little animals. (Such as bunnies, hamsters, turtles and ducks)
Elisa gave a impressed whistle, "You never miss, Sally, not a single one!". "And just like the other spell, this one is temporary. They will return to normal at least until the next day.", I said to Elisa with a chuckle.
She shook her head in amazement, "Damn, remind me never to get on your bad side, Sally.". "I also made sure the female trooper which I turned into a kitten, she will stay longer like that until the next day." I said with a grin.
"Let's go back to Goliath.", Elisa said with a soft chuckle. I nodded, and we went back to watch over Goliath until it was night time. I and Elisa were sitting on the grass, and we were guarding Goliath when we heard something, but it was just a man who was exercising, and he then noticed Goliath.
"l've run this path for five years, and l've never noticed that statue before." the man said in amazement.
"Yeah. This park's just full of surprises.", smiling as I said to the man who then took off. A few minutes passed, and I saw that Elisa had fallen asleep, I too was starting to feel sleepy, but I couldn't fall asleep. I had to protect Goliath and Elisa.
Sally, I can look after them. You need to rest. Draven told me, sounding very stern with me. Are you sure, Draven? I asked him in concern as I was worried about the consequences if Elisa or Goliath saw him.
You know that I can still come out of the necklace to show myself to you. I will look after them while you rest. Draven told me softly, a smile in his voice. Okay, but make sure by the time they both wake up, you're back in the necklace. I said to Draven nervously.
Sally, you need the rest. How else can you help Goliath and Elisa if you're tired?". Draven then murmured warmly. I then nodded as I started to close my eyes and before I went to sleep, I heard Draven say to me in a quiet whisper. Sweet dreams, my little warrior. I was happy to have him as a second father to me.
I woke up in time to see Goliath waking up from his stone sleep, and Elisa too woke up. "Goliath, are you okay?" I asked Goliath softly, placing my hand on his arm.
He nodded with a smile, "Of course. Sleep rejuvenates myself. Have you two been watching over me?".
"Yeah, well, we had to make sure those comic book rejects didn't find you." Elisa said, crossing her arms with a confident smirk. "Thank you. It is very possible that you two saved my life." Goliath said, sticking his hand out, and we both shook his hand individually.
"So, now we're even." I said with a big smile. Goliath nodded, and frowned slightly, "I must return.".
"We understand." I said, nodding lightly. "So, uh, later tonight?", Elisa asked, and Goliath nodded before he flew off.
"Let's go back home, Elisa." I said to my friend. Elisa grinned at me, "I think we earned his friendship.". I smiled softly, "Being friends with Gargoyles, that's something I can see.". Elisa chuckled warmly, nodding.
We then went back to our apartments, and I was preparing myself some dinner when I saw Draven come out of the necklace.
"So, Draven, did anything happen while you were watching over us?", I asked the spirit curiously.
"No, Sally. I made sure that no one tried to hurt any of you.", Draven said proudly as he was floating near me, and I then placed my dinner on my table, and I started eating.
"Draven, do you think those people will try to hurt Goliath again?", I asked worriedly. He sighed heavily, "As I have said before, it's not what it seems... I believe Goliath and his clan will face numerous enemies, and those people recently, I believe that Xanatos is connected to them somehow...".
And I went to sleep a while later as I still felt tired. Later, Diary.
October 27, 2010. Dear Diary,
The next day and night, we learned that a female gargoyle had joined Goliath's clan, and apparently she is Goliath's mate. I saw that Sally was looking a bit jealous.
"What's wrong? Sally, are you jealous?" I asked her, raising an eyebrow.
"No." Sally denied, but I knew she was lying, and I raised my other eyebrow.
"Sally, I've known you for a long time, and I can tell when you are lying.", I said to her with a gesture of my eyes, and Sally sighed deeply.
"Ok, fine! I am jealous because I...like Goliath." Sally said, giving me a nervously sheepish smile.
"I knew it! I noticed that you and Goliath were getting a bit close.", I said to her with a happy grin.
"Yes, but I can't help having a bad feeling about this female Gargoyle. I have a feeling that she is hiding something.", Sally murmured softly, looking very worried.
"Yeah, me too.", I said with a nod of agreement.
"I want to talk to Goliath about it, but I'm worried about the other Gargoyles." Sally said nervously, and I then placed my hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll talk with Goliath, and you can go to the castle without Xanatos knowing.", I said to my best friend, comforting her.
"Thanks, Elisa. I'm happy to have you as my best friend." Sally said to me with a grateful smile, and I then hugged her as she hugged me back. She then flew off to the castle while I went to go talk with Goliath.
I arrived to the castle, and I saw the other 3 gargoyles. The red one was sitting on the ledge with sunglasses, the small green one was with a laptop, and the big blue one was eating. They all had happy looks on their faces when they saw me.
"SALLY!" they all shouted as they ran to me. "Nice to see you too, guys." I chuckled happily.
"Actually, we have names now, Sally." the red one said with a grin. "Really, what are your names now?", I asked curiously with a smile on my face.
"I'm Brooklyn.", The red gargoyle said, pointing to himself with a finger proudly. "Broadway.", The big blue Gargoyle said, expressing himself with his body.
"And I'm Lexington.", The green Gargoyle said proudly with a chuckle. "Those are fine names.", I said, nodding approvingly with a wide smile.
"Ooh. Sally, Goliath told us that you have magic, is it true?", Brooklyn asked in wonder. "Yep, it's true.", I said with a grin.
"Can you show us?" Lexington asked curiously. I smiled as my hand glowed purple immediately, and with a wave of my hand, I made more food appear on Broadway's table.
Broadway exclaimed happily as he grabbed a hambone, chopped into it before replying, "You're awesome!". Brooklyn grinned softly, "What else can you do, Sally?".
"I can teleport, and I can fly.", I said to them with a casual shrug. Lexington furrowed his eyebrows, "Can you use your magic personally?".
"I don't always use my magic for personal needs as it's a huge responsibility.", I said to them sternly yet coolly.
