Week of November 7 - Secret Diary #2
Today couldn't have been more frustrating! A huge shipment of guns were stolen, and I and Elisa knew that it was Tony Dracon! That sly bastard, he even tried to act innocent, but no matter what, I will find enough evidence to prove he is guilty.
Anyway, I'm in my apartment cooking some dinner as I just came back from visiting Goliath. He knows how to read and write really well now. My sister stayed at the castle along with Elisa, and I'm pretty sure that Morgan is playing with Bronx, Ever since they met, Morgan likes to play with him.
I then heard tapping on my window, and I turned around to see that it was Broadway, and I smiled brightly. Goliath told me that Broadway had gone to a theatre to see a western movie, and I used my powers to open the window, so Broadway can come inside.
"Hi, Broadway, how was the movie?", I asked curiously as he and the other boys likes to watch movies. Broadway laughed, "It was awesomely cool!".
"That's wonderful, once i finish making my diner, I'll use my magic to make you some food.", I said with a wink, and Broadway smiled as he wandered around my apartment. I was still cooking when I heard Draven shout.
SALLY, WATCH OUT! Draven yelled before I felt pain in my stomach, and I fell to the ground. My vision was turning black, but I could see blood, and someone had shot me. The last thing I heard was Broadway calling my name in confusion.
I gasped as I saw my daughter fall to the ground, and I came out of the necklace, but I used a spell to make myself invisible so that Broadway wouldn't see me. I could see him throw away the gun in horror, and he knelt down to check on Sally.
"Sally, I'm sorry!", Broadway pleaded upset as he then picked her up and flew out the window. I followed him, and he then landed in front of a hospital. He placed Sally on a gurney, he then gasped in horror as I saw his hands were covered in blood, and he left hastily. I then saw two paramedics run to Sally's side as they saw she was bleeding.
"She's been shot, I can't get a pulse!", the young paramedic said hastily as the older one grabbed a rag to press it down on Sally's wound. "Get her inside stat!", he ordered quickly as they rushed Sally inside. Before I followed them in, I went to see if Broadway was nearby, and I then saw him leave.
Poor Broadway, the guilt is getting to him. Since he was into the movie, he couldn't understand the real danger of using a gun, and I then went inside the hospital praying that Sally would make it. As much I wanted to, I couldn't use my magic as it would raise suspicion.
Oh, my baby girl, please you have to live. I prayed.
I was with the Gargoyles, and I saw them sitting on the ledge as they were waiting for the sun to come up. I was standing near Brooklyn, and I swear that I have feelings for Brooklyn as he is kinda handsome and sweet.
"Tonight was so much fun." I said to Brooklyn with a wide grin.
"Oh, yeah. My favorite part was when we raced a train!". Brooklyn chuckled widely as he reminded me of the moment he held me as he glided, racing a night train as we were returning back to the castle.
I smiled at that, and we then noticed that Broadway still wasn't back. Brooklyn then looked at Lexington with a silent look. "l guess Broadway liked that movie so much that he stayed to watch it a few more times." Lexington said with a smile and a shrug.
"That seems like it.", Elisa said with a nod as we went to the top of the castle where Goliath is. "l hope he finds a comfortable place to roost.", Goliath said with a conservative smile, and we then saw Owen walk up to us.
"I'm afraid that I have some bad news." Owen said solemnly. "What is it? Speak quickly.", Goliath said as he stood up, staring at Owen as dawn was approaching fast.
"Sally has been shot, they're not sure she'll live.", Owen said as I felt my heart stop, and I then saw that Goliath had a shocked look on his face as he turned to stone. "What!? What happened?!" Elisa asked in shock and horror.
"Someone must have sneaked into her apartment, and shot her with her own gun.", Owen said, shaking his head lightly. "Where is my sister!?", I asked maddeningly, and Owen then gave me the directions to the hospital. I asked if Elisa was coming.
"No. I have a feeling I know who did this. I have to head to the police station.". She looked pissed off as she seemed to realize something.
"Ok, good luck, Elisa. Owen, tell the Gargoyles the location of the hospital once they wake." I said before I ran out. As soon I left the building, I got into my car, and started driving to the hospital. On the way, I took out my cell phone, and called my mom.
"Mom, I'm afraid that I have bad news. Sally's been shot.", I spoke haltingly as I sobbed, tears filling my eyes, but I blinked them back weakly as I focused on driving.
After Owen told me where Sally is, I then flew off to head to the hospital. I refused to lose her like this! Ever since I met Sally, I've felt a odd sensation in my heart whenever I'm around her. Hudson has told me that I might be in love with her.
I then made it to the hospital, and I landed near the window, and I looked inside to see something shocking.
I saw what looks a like a dark blue Gargoyle floating near Sally's bed. Who was he? What was he doing here? Before i could go inside, I heard the door opening, and I saw the Gargoyle disappear.
I came inside the room with Elisa, along with my family; my mom, aunt and uncle, and my cousin, Sophie. I sat beside my sister's bed as the doctor told us she had to have another surgery, and if it works, she'll live. I can't imagine my life without my sister.
"Elisa, did you figure out who might have shot my daughter?", my mom asked, crying. "I have a suspicion that Dracon might have send someone to Sally's apartment to kill her.", Elisa said with a soft growl, looking upset.
"Oh, my dear Sally, I can't lose you too! We already lost Richard, we can't lose you too." My mom cried as she held Sally's left hand gently. Sophie looked furious and shell-shocked, "Sally did nothing to that bastard!".
My Aunt comforted Sophie softly, "Actually, honey, her files on Dracon must have some dirt on him or something, so Dracon was possibly mad about it.". My Uncle nodded, "Yes, as a P.I, things are more dangerous for her, but she's hell as stubborn as Elisa is, and I am sure Elisa has something in mind, or am I wrong?".
"Don't worry, I'll do whatever it takes to get Dracon arrested. He is going to pay dearly for trying to hurt my friend!", Elisa said with a snarl and a look of determination. For a second there, I swore that she looked like a Gargoyle in those eyes.
"Sally, if you can hear me, please, you have to live. Be strong.", I said to my sister, pleading quietly as I grabbed her right hand gently.
I and Morgan stayed with Sally after the family left, then I saw Goliath at the window. I went over and opened it.
"Goliath, I'm so sorry for what's happening now.", I said to Goliath sadly as I knew Sally and Goliath cared for each other greatly. Sally is obviously in love with Goliath, and Hudson told me that Goliath possibly would be in love with Sally as well.
Goliath growled lightly as he walked over after he landed gracefully, "Who shot her?".
"We still don't know. Elisa checked the gun for prints, but they are badly smudged as they don't even look human.", Morgan said brokenheartedly, I then saw Goliath touch Sally's hair so tenderly. Hudson had proved me right. Goliath obviously loves Sally.
Goliath rumbled softly, "You're a fighter, Sally. Sally, fight back...for me.. I promise I'll make things right.". He then left her side, glancing at us for a second, and turning around to leave.
"Where are you going, Goliath?" Morgan asked in confusion. "I heard everything. Sally has been after Dracon, and now, he crossed the line too far!". He snarled lowly as he faced us.
"I'm going with you! I want to make Dracon pay for what he did to Sally.", I said with determination as I walked forward, and Goliath nods in understanding.
"Morgan, stay with Sally." I told Morgan with a glance at Sally. Goliath then picked me up bridal style and then we were off to find Dracon.
I stayed by my sister's side, then I saw Draven come out of the necklace. "Draven.", I said, and he then came over to stand by my side.
"Morgan, I'm sorry for what you're going through. I know I could use my magic to heal Sally, but I can't risk it." Draven said, frowning sadly and I nodded, knowing how people reacts if someone heals too fast.
"Draven, do you see if the shooter was Dracon?", I asked Draven in curiosity. He shook his head, "It wasn't Dracon. It was Broadway..". I was shocked! Broadway shot her!
"He didn't mean to shoot her, Morgan. You see, Broadway had watched a western movie, and he tried to imitate a scene from the movie, but by accident, he pulled the trigger.", Draven explained with a solemn expression.
"Oh, but where's Broadway?", I asked, worried for him. Draven sighed heavily, "I don't know, Morgan. No, no, Sally!". He was seeing something behind me, and I turned around, my blood turning to ice as I saw something horrifying.
The heart monitor was flat lining, I then saw Draven go back inside the necklace just before the doctors came in, and then made me leave the room. "Sally, please be strong for us, for your family, for Draven, for...Goliath." I prayed quietly as I went to the waiting room where my family is waiting.
A few hours later, we were all sitting around Sally's bed, praying that she would wake up. "Mom?", I heard Sally moan, then we all stood up, greatly relieved to hear her voice and see her eyes.
"Oh, thank goodness!", Mom said as she held Sally's hand, happy tears escaping her eyes. "Sally, how do you feel?", Sophie asked. "Lousy, I guess. What happened?" ,Sally asked roughly then confusedly.
"That's what we like to know." My uncle said. "Captain Chavez just called. Dracon's been arrested for grand theft. They found him in a warehouse with Xanatos' guns, all of them destroyed. He was babbling about monsters attacking him and his men.", my aunt said.
"You'll have to leave now. She's past the crisis point, but she needs her rest.", The nurse told us, and we then left the room. Before leaving, I could see Goliath and Broadway outside the window.
I turned my head around to see Goliath and Broadway enter the room. "Hi, guys." I said, smiling weakly.
"Sally, it was all my fault. l was playing with your gun and it went off. l'll never touch a gun again." Broadway said to me as he held my hand in his.
"l should have been a lot more careful about where l left it. We both make mistakes." I said as I moved my hand to his cheek, cradling it softly. "Yeah. But you nearly paid for those mistakes with your life.", Broadway said sadly.
"Then let's not repeat them.", I said, sighing softly. "Come, she needs her rest." Goliath said, and Broadway nodded, left as I dropped my hand from his cheek, and I looked up.
"Goliath.", I said before he placed his hand on my shoulder with a soft smile and a tender look in his eyes.
"Hush, Sally. You need your strength back. Rest.", Goliath then placed his hand on my head softly, and I smiled brightly as I felt his gentle strength in his hand as if he's lending a bit of his strength to me. Before closing my eyes, I heard Draven whisper something to me. I'm so glad you're okay, my little warrior.
